WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 6,1867;
SOMEBODY'S DARLING.
The following exquisite little poem was wrif.ir-* by
Miss Marie Laco.-.tc, of Savannah, Ga., anc. origi?
nally published, wo think, by tho Southern Church?
man. It will commend itaolf by its touching
pathos to all readers:
In to a ward of tho white-washed walls.
Where tho dead and tho dying lay
Wounded by bayonet.-;, Bhells and balls
Somebody's dar lin . was borne one day.
Somebody's darling 1 So y onus and so braye.
Wearing still on ois pule, sweet face.
Soon to be hid by the dust of tho crave,
The lingering light of Iiis boyhood's grace.
Hatted and damp are tho curls ot gold
Kissing tho snow of thc fair young brow,
Ptde are the Ups of delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from tho beautiful, blue veined face
Brush every wandering silken thread,
Gross MB honda as a sign of grace
Somebody's darling is still and dead.
Kiss bim once for somebody's sake,
Murmur a prayer soft and low,
One bright curl from tho cluster take
They wc-ro somebody's pride, you know.
Somebody'a hands had rested thure;
Was it a mother's Rott and white ?
And have tho lips of a sister fair
Been baptized in chose waves of light ?
God knows beat. He was somobody 'B love ;
Somebody's hecrt enshrined him there,
Somobody wafted bis nomo above,
Night and morn, on tho wings of prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking so handsome, bravo, and grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead ky:
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's watching and waiting for bim,
yearning to hold vim again to her heart;
There he lies-witu the blue eyes dim,
And the smiling, child-like lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead.
Pausing to drop on his gravo a tear;
Corvo on the wooden slab at his head
'.Somebody's darling lies buried here !"

gentleman- of this city goes to Raleigh to-day to
endeavor to obtain a charter from the Legislature
for-the building of a canal from Stokes* Ferry, on
the YatU?n River, to Prosperity, on Deep River, in
. Moore county. This scheme does sot ask any ap?
propriation, aa the capital necessary to its comple?
tion, it is thought, can be raised by private sub?
scription. The effects of this scheme, if success?
ful, will be to. make Deep and Cape Fear Rivers,
by the introduction of a volume of water from the
r? Yadkin, and the removal of obstructions in those
Streams, navigable from-Prosperity to Wilming?
ton; to. open a canal for steamboat navigation
from Prosperity to Stokes* Ferry, at which point
to Wilkes Wo' the Yadkin is said to be navi?
gable. If this scheme is feasible there is no
doubt of the b?n?ficiai influence which it would
exert on the prosperity of Wilmington, Fay?

through which' it would pass. Whether it is feasi?

now, but we shan examine ..the subject carefully

.; The Extreme Penalty of the Law.
[From the. Mibilc Register.]
* ? rather rapid young gentleman, 'often seen up?
on the streets of Mobile, whom we shall call Smith,
chiefly because it is not his name, went up to West
Tennessee to spend the Christmas holidays with a
young lady he raed to sit up with before the war,
and. whom he would have married but for an intor
.DOB?tion of Providence iu the shape of an unwilling
parent, who. wantui to blow him up with a horse
piBtol to prevent tho wedding. Smith returned to
tho ci tv'a few days ago, and was amusing himself
and seme of his friends yesterday by telling a very
pretty story of a way the West Tennesseeans have
o? punishing cotton thieves when they happen to
catch them.. ' - ?i "
Smith states that whOo -travelling through the
most wild and barren of the Tonnessee counties
bordering on the State of Mississippi, he stopped
to spend the night with an old gent o-.ian in whose
lot were piled some six or eight bales of cotton.
Knowing by what an uncertain tenure the staple is
held by its-owners further South, when they find*
it necessary to leave it out at hight without a
guard, Smith said to his host, after supper:
"Ieee you've got a fine lot of cotton out yonder,
Mr. Grimes; ain't you afraid somebody'll come
. along, ono of th ese nights and steal it ?"
."Uli, no," said Mr- Grimes; "cotton stealing is a
sort o' dangerous, business round' here now, and "
amt afraid nobody's gwine to steal mine."
Before sunrise the next, morning Smith was
wakened/from a sound sleep j by some of tho
heaviest swearing he had heard since the mule
"tromped onto" Captain Brown's toes at Corinth,
just before the . battle of Shiloh. Smith got up
and went to the window and looked out. Ola man
Grimes, bare-headed and in his shirtsleeves, was
standing on Ins pile of cotton bales in the lot,
and pouring out a whirlwind of oaths that fairly
"Shook the soar leaves from tho wood
As tfa stem passai Ly;'? .
Smith, who is a fine, practical mathematician,
estimates that Mr. Grimes uttered, in two minutes
and a half, a sufficient quantity of d-ns and other
imprecations to'sink a nat boat. Smith threw him?
self into bis clothes, and went but into the lot to
ascertain the causo of the row. It was about 'fif?
teen rninutes before the old maa could cool down
sufficiently to explain' the why and the wherefore
of his wonderful, profanity.. But he finally,- man
. aged to do iL* r ' ;./:'.. j u- . go fe^Wil^ i.
Somebody had 'comb during the night and car?
ried off two bales of-his cotton. - '
;. s ." immediately aftW;hrealrfa8t, Mr. Grimes, and
his son, a slab-sided,' long-legged young man
abop.f "eighteen years of age/ and ono or their
? neighbors who had been sihnmone^ for the chase,
mounted their horses and eta rtod in pursuit of the
stealer of the cotton. Having nothing else LO do,
Brnith de termined to' etay where he was and learn
the result of tho chase. ' The weather was cold;
but Mrs. Grimes had a good fire, and seating him?
self in the corner, Smith spent the day delightfully
in talking to the old lady about the -war, and in
reading a copy of tho Patent Office Report for
?8-0. i A little after sandown Mr.. Grimes and his
sou returned, the former driving a two horse
wagon, on which were piled a couple of bales of
cotton. Smith walked out to the. gate.
"And you got. your cotton, did you, Mr. Grimes?"
said Smith, interrogatively. !
' "Yes, I got it."
"And did yon get the fellow that stole it ?"
"Yes^Igothira."
- "Where in he?*
?He's hack yonder."
"Where?"
"He's back yonder a piece.",
'3s that his wagon Tr.
'T'sbose ^shisn-it ain't mine."
All this.time the old man was engaged in unhar?
nessing the horses, and having taken them from the
wagon, he led them toward the stable. Smith saw
that but little information -was to be had in that
quarter, and turned to young alabsides, who dat
with bissett leg thrown across the nock of his
horse and biting the end of a switch.
"Andyou-really caught the fellow, did you?"
.aid Smith to young Grimes. -
"You bet," answered that gentleman.
'.Then, where is he?"
'-'Why, jest as daddy told you-he's back - mder
%pi?cej'
Cutback where?"
"Why, back yonder in the woods where me and
daddy and Jim Nicks histed him to a limb."
' uWhai ! you dorft mean to tell nie you actually
?unohimr
i?Q? course, we hung him. You don't take me
and daddy , and Jun for a passel of ^- fools, do
"ROU?" . ... '
j- "Good heavens 1" exekimed Smith with unaffect?
ed horror depicted in every foaturo of his faeq "is
there no law m this country ?"
'"Law I why, there's lots of the b?8fc80I.t0flaw,
in this country. Wo kotch the fellow with the cot?
ton, and we tuck him out into, the woods and '
BWfmg him higher nor a kij?e;-Td liko to kno?
what the-you'd want with anv botter lax
than that!" h " : ; '
' Smith didn't think ? safe to enjoy longer thc
hospitality or tho amubleMr. Grimes, an?or?cA
ingbis.horse, rode on to the next house, where ho
spent tho. night, determined to mak? a vezy early
alert in th?"; morning for a section of - country
wBere they had a different sort of laws, if not bet?
ter ones. Accordingly, immediatelv after break- ,. -,
fast he began a rapid retreat Eputfcward. He had&fe
gone about two miles whsn young Grimes came
galk>ping up behind him. Smith's hair stood on
end. He at once determined to sell his lifo at
the highest price it wo^d-bring; but then, remem?
bering that no had n^, arms, ho thought he had
better take his life.oat.of danger, and was in the
act of butting spurs" tb his horse whon young
Grimes dashed un beside him.
"Hello, Mi?tfer'!* is thatj'ou? You ain't skeered,
J. hope, Ithpnght you was gwine to run.*
* ^Scared?" certainly.not," paid Smith, with white
Kofl and chattering teeth. "What is there to scare
^'Nothing that I know of? I was gwine down tho
road a piece, and saw jon on ahead of me, and I
thought I'd catch up and a?k you if you didn't |j
want to ride out here into the woo'ds and see ]
that feller-that me and daddy and Jim sent up the ?.
spout."
iiy this time Smith had gotten pre itv well over
his scare, and seeing that Grimes, like himself,
was uuanned, concluded to co and see if the
^Teller" really had been bango ). They had gone-j of
a.bout"thrce hundred yards ?ora the road whe?? iii
Grimes reined up his horse. "Yonder he is," said wi
he. Smith looked in the direction indicated, and te:
M
thero, dangling from tho limb of a tall tree, with
lega about three yards from ibo ground, was the
uMortunato man"who had loved cotton not wisely
but too well.
"Do you know who he was ?? asked Smith, sol?
emnly.
''No, I don't; bnt I guess he was nothing but
ono of these hore-rebols, and his mammy
ought to bo shot for not banging him when ho was
a baby."
Smith was once a ''rebol" himself, haviug gal?
lantly drawn his pay as quartermaster's clerk in
defence of his country, and this remark of young
Grimes added very little to tho comfort o? his feel?
ings. Hf ventured to ask :
"Aro thoro many rob?is about hero?"
"No," said Grimes, "there ain't many now ;
we'vo got 'om pretty well tiunned out in thia neigh?
borhood."
Smith drove his spurs into the flanks of his
horse, and dashed ofi through tho woods as if the
very dickens had boon at his heels. "Hold en !
I'm gwine your way," was the last ho heard af
young Grimes or any of his family.
IxrimESTiKQ RELICS.-TWO objects of sonsiderar
ble interest aro preserved at the rooms of the Ame?
rican Tract Society, corner of Nassau and Sprucit
streets, New York. The Evening Gaa?tto describe?
them as follows :
In the office of Rev. Mr. Eastman may bo seen
the field pulpit of George Whitfield, which he used
to double up and take about with him in his wagon.
It is a slight frame-work, with a floor to stand
upon, raised about three feet from tho ground,
with a railing some three feet high. It is just
large enough for a man to stand up in, but ht/
would have to preach with less gesticulation thoa
many of om* modern divines or the whole thing
would upset. It is painted a dark red, and so con?
structed wi th wrought iron hinges that, liko an
Arab's tent, it can be folded np and cairi?l off on
a man's back. Sometimes Whitfield preached
from this pulpit to ton or fifteen thousand peoplts
at once. In twonty-four years ho preached eigh?
teen thousand sermons; and not content with thu
work in his own land, hs crossod the Atlantic six
times, and in all tho great cities of our land, from
Boston to Savannah, his voice was hoard Hi?
bones now rest iu Now England This pulpit waa
brought from Old England some twenty years
ago.
In Whitfield's pulpit is the chair of the dairy?
man's daughter, Elizabeth Wallbridgo, whodiod
in tho town of Aneton, Isle of Wight, m 1861. Tho
story of tho Dairyman's Daughter, as told by Rev.
Leigh Richmond, Bedfordshire, England, has been
road by millions of people, so long ago as 18?18,
four million copies of tho book having been sold.
It has been translated into many languages, and
the demand for it cootintfes unabated. Of "no
other publication doos the American Tract Society
issue uo many copies as this. The chair is, an old
fashioned farmer's straight-backed arm. chair of
oak and bottomed with twisted chu bark. It is
supposed to bo ono hundred years old, and has
been in America about twenty-five years. There
is a foathor cushion in the chair, but the patch?
work cover which used to be over it has disappear?
ed. The dairyman's daughter eat in this choir
during her last sickness. Sb.'e died of consump?
tion.

'.?he correspondenc j between .tho young men, AL
FBED and JAMES, that condensation would have
been much cheaper at the present cable rates.

THE HATB.-The ordinary length of the hair of
the head in woman varies from iwenty inches to a
yrd, in some instances oven longer than tn at, bat,
they are of unusual occurrence; its weight from ?
five ounces to oight ounces. A cotemporary ro?
tates an instance where the hair on the lady's head
attained the measurement of two yards in length.
But its proper length for texture and stronach
should not exceed twenty-four inches, and its value
as long hair is much depreciated in price when it
falls shorter. It has been calculated by Withof
that the beard grows at the rate of a lino and a
half per week, which is the length of six and a half
inches in the course of a year, while for a man of
eighty years ol'age twenty-seven feet would have
fallen before the razor. We are informed that the
beard of the Burgomaster Hans Steininged was BO
long that upon one occasion, having forgotten to
fold up the same, he trod upon it ai ho ascended
to the council chamber at Brunn, and was th erv by
thrown down and killed. And still further we may
cite from Ebie that at the Prince's Court at Eidam
there is a full length painting of a carpenter whose
beard was nine feot long, so that when engaged at
work he was obliged to carry it in a bag. In the
Industrial Exhibition of 1862 thoro were exhibited
specimens of human hair taken from the heads of
English, French and Italian ladies, the longest
having b en cut from one of our own country?
women. It was a lock of jet black hair, and meas?
ured soventy-four inches in length.-l%#sAp jper.
DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.-The Freeport (Bl)
Journal tells this story of thc just retribution that |
befell a faithless "lovyer" :
"A trader hore had been for some months court- j
ing a young lady hero, bub concluded not to morry
her, and k?tely wedded another fair one. La order
to secure .imself against the rejected sweetheart
who had serious claims upon hun, he transferr.-ed
all his property to his business partner, m tho. toll
confidence that it would be returned to him 'when?
ever he should indicate a desire to that -eQ'ect.
Upon learning of the perfidy of her lover, tho dis?
carded young woman sought redress, hut in vain
it was too late. She, however, succeeded in s?
frightening kor betrayer as to lead bim to offer his
partner $100.to marry : her. The .partner agreed
and th9 ceremony waa performed.'".The lady now
Bocuredher revenge. Her old lover, thinking mat?
ters now amicably adjusted, intimated that he
would like to resume possession of his worldly
goods. To his surprise, l?a partner disclaimed all
idea of rehnquishing the property, saying he con
?jiderod it a part of tbo.bargain, and was porfootly
satisfied- that it should remain where it was.
Throats, tears, and entreaties woro in vain? Tho
property was fairly and squarely passod, and own
?T No. 2 emphatically refused to surrender.
SOMEOFTHEFEPTXS?-It is estimated that not
ess than 1600 journeymen mechanics and laboring
nen, aU busy, at work and receiving; good wages
'brea months ago, are now out of employ I The
tense of all this is the unsettled stataoi thc co un?
ary, produced by the madmen in Coogrcse. They
assert there shall be nb'union between North and
South, until the South will permitnegro suffrage
vhich TB not-likely to bo the case wry soon, if
jver. This. destroys confidence- among business
nen in both'sections. The Northern manufac
iurer,will not credit bis' wares to thtftSouth; and
he Sbiith, doubtful of its future, will not purchase
inythmg beyond its present necessities. North?
um capital has stopped going South, "and without
t, crops cannot be raisoji-and without crops, the
touth cai-not buy of the North. Consequently,
Northern manufactories are over-stocked wi?h
rares, and workmon aro discharged. With an
iones t effort at conciliation by Congress, otu.' diffi
lulties might all be settled in a fortrngnt-and in
?ne month every man -would be again steadily,

Among the chief points of excellence of tho Chickor
ing Pianos, of ?hioh speak tho renowned artists in their
cou gratula tory testimoni?is to the Messrs. Chickering,
are the greatest possible depth, richness and volume of
tone, combined with a rare brilliancy, clearness and
perfect evenness througnout the entire scale; and,
above all, a surprising duration of sound, the pure-and
tym pathetic quality ol which never changes nuder die
most delicate or powerful touch.
Daring tho post forty-throe years this firm hos mann

lu the construction of whioh they have in traduced every
known and valuable improvement. They havo invaria?
bly been selected and used by all of tbe world's ac?
knowledged groat artists who have visited thia country
professionally, both for private and pabilo nea.
THALBERG.
I consider Chickering ft Sons' PIKUOB, beyond com?
parison, the best I have ever seen in America.
GOTTSCHALK.
I consider Chickering ft Sona' Pianos snpexlor to any
in the world, ?
They are unrivalled for their singing qnali?es and for
the harmonious roundness of their tons, There is a
perfect homogeneity throughout ail the registers. The
upper notes are remarkable for a olearnass and purity
which I do not find in any other instrument, while the
base ls distinguished for power without harshness, and
for a magnificent sonority.
WEELI.
Your Pianos are superior to any I have evor Been in
this country or in Europe.
I have novar beard u tone so perfect; it yields o very
expression that ls needed In music, and its quality is
capable of change to moot every sentiment. This ls a
rare power, anil is derived from the perfect purity of
its tone, together with Its sympathetic, elastic and well
balanced touch.
FOZNA.VSKI.
During the past night years I have constantly played
upon th't joally celebrated Erard Pianos; yours are the
only instruments that I have found, cuber hero or in
Europe, to equal them in all their points of excellence
It may bo satisfactory, to our patrons and friends
among the public at large to state that testimonials have
beon received from all the loading artiurs who have
visited or are uow residing in the United States, a few oi
