(Knoae, at the Death of Parla. A little while she stood, and spake no word, . But hung above him, with white heaving breast. And moaning still as moans the gray-winged bird In autumn-tide o'er his forgotten nest; And then her hands about her throat she pressed, As though to keep a cry back, then stooped down And aether face to his, while spake her moan: .'0 love 0 cherished more than I can tell, Through years of woe, 0 love, my life and bane, My joy ana grief, farewell, farewell, farewell ! Forgetfulness of grief I yet may gain, In some wise may come ending to my pain; It may be yet the gods will have me glad ! Yet, love, I would that thee and pain I had ! "Alas I lt may not be, it may not be, The falling blossom of the late Spring tide, Shall hang a golden globe upon the tree When through the vale the mists of Autumn glide; Yet would, o love, with thee I might abide. Kow, now that restful death is drawing nigh Farewell, farewell, how good lt is to die !" ' O strange, 0 strange, when on his lips once J more Her lips were laid ! 0 strange that he must die Now. when so clear a vision had come o'er His failing heart, and keenest memory, Had shown him all his changing life passed by; And what he was, and what he might have been, Yea, and should be, perchance, so clear were eeen i Yea, then were all things laid within the scale, Pleasure and lust, love and desire of fame, Kindness, sud hope, and folly.-all the tale Told lu a moment, as across him came That sudden flash, bright as the lightning flame, Showing the wanderer on the waste how he Has gone astray mid dark and misery. Ah, and her face upon his dying face That the sun warmed no more ! that agony Of dying love, wild with the tale of days Long Bast, and strange with hope that might not All was gone now, and what least part had he In Love at al), ard why was Ufe all gone ? Why must he meet the ty es of death alone ? Alone, for she and ruth had left him there; Alone, because the ending of the strife He knew, well taught by death, drew surely near; Alone, for au those vears with pleasure rife Should be a tale mid Helen's coming life, And she and all the world should go its ways, Midst other troubles, other happy days. And yet, how was it with him ? As if death Strove yet with struggling lifo and love in vain, With eyes grown deadly bright and rattling breath, He raised himself, while wide his blood did stain Tue linen fair, and seized the horu again. And blew thereon a wl'd and shattering blast Ere from his hand afa the thing he cast. Thea, as a man who in a falling fight For a last onset gathers suddenly Ail soul and strength, he raced the summer light, And from his Hps broke forth a mighty cry Of "Helen, Helen, Helen '."-yet the sky Changed not above his cast-back golden head, And merry was the world, though he was dead. ALL ABOUT THE STATE. The Cropg ia Greenville. The Enterprise says that the farmers on Monday last reported things quiet at their respec? tive homes. The crops, they say, are some better than anticipated, yet are very light. The prepa? ration of land for wheat has really commenced; we hope a great deal will be put down. Thorough cultivation of soil and the application of good manures, domestic and commercial, should en? gage the attention of all. The Knife. The Darlington Democrat says: "Since our last issue, we have two more reports of the use of the knife by colored people. In one case Mr. Richard F. Blackman a peaceable, quiet and unoffending youngman, was the victim. He was severely cut in the abdomen by one Isaiah Davis, colored. At one time his wound was considered mortal, and he was so informed, lt gives us pleasure to an? nounce that lt is now thought he will recover. In the other case, both parties were colored: one was eut In the arm, but not seriously hurt. It is time this thing was stopped; and the respectable color? ed people Join in this opinion." Shred? of State Newa. The soldiers of Anderson will meet on the ist h to organize a survivors' association. On the 0th instant the residence of Mrs. William Huggins, a widow, was destroyed by Ure.

[From the Journal of Commerce.] NEW YORK, November 9.-In domestic there is not much doing, and prices are in thc buyers' favor. The offerings are free, but the dealers pur? chase only as they have occasion to use. We no? tice sales of 120 tes at 7a7 V cts. Rangoon is dull and prices are heavy. We quote for lots in bond 3a3,\ic gold. We clip the following from Messrs Dan Tal mage's Son's circular, compiled to-day: Since the opening of the crop thc market hos declined very rapidly, such decline being over l>,c f lb. This has not been thc consequence of heavy arrivals, as nearly every parcel has been sold promptly from wharf, but owing in part to thc fact that purchasers took hold sparingly, buying only from "hand to mouth,'' or for immediate wants. The arrivals of Carolina at this port have been 1386 tierces up to date as against 1503 tierces for same period last year. Our present rates seem by comparison very low, and some arc inclined to think that the minimum point for the crop has been reached, and that it ls the proper time for laying aside their stock in our line for the coming season. "Not inclining to their opinion we venture to uttei ours, giving sound reason for our belief, that prices must de? cline still further, ruling materially 'owcr during the whole season. By our latest advices from the South we have estimates of the crop in the various sections, which will be found io agree very nearly with the actual yield. The production has been, viz: In North Carolina equal to 2400 tierces; in South Carolina equal to 40,OOO tierces; In Georgia equal to 27,000 tierces; In Louisiana equal to 32,000 tierces; total, 101,400 tierces. The yield, which we believe is rather under than over estimated, is largely in excess of that ef last year. Heretofore the amount raised has not been equal to the demand, and it being well known that before a subsequent crop could be produced, recourse would have to be had to East India kinds, thc rices of the latter exerted a control? ling Influence over the Carolina. This year the growth has attained such dimensions that lt must go Into more general use than heretofore. To ac? complish this it will have to bc placed sufficient ly? lo w io compete with breadstuff's and esculents generally. Flour is selling even at lower rates than before the war, potatoes and other vege? tables likewise, and such prices will undoubtedly prevail during the winter. These arc In brief some of the causes which have depressed the prices of our article, and which must continue until rates have reached a basis at least propor? tionate to those at which it was sold prior to the war. The minimum point will bc reached about the middle of December to first of January, by which time the bulk of the crop will bc on the market. Exports for the week, 270 bbls.; exports from January 1, 249 tierces and 8691 bbls; exports same time last year, 220 tierces and 18,422 bbls. Nashville Market. NASHVILLE, November 9.-COTTON.-The mar? ket at the opening of thc week was firm, and all offerings freely taken at 23?i for low middlings.

On Monday thc market was depressed, 23M being the outside figure. To-day the market has been characterized throughout by extreme dullness, and the unvary? ing teuor of the dispatches from both Liverpool and New York, representing those markets as dull, heavy and declining, caused buyers to ope? rate very cautiously, even at the decline.

The small yield of Sea Island Cotton (peculiar to that fariety, and yearly lessened by increased ra-agesof worms,) is not nearly compensated by the greater value of its long staple, and a change of Seed ls imperatively demanded-experience having fully proven that thc earlier maturity of other kinds greatly lessens the danger from worms. The question, then, is: The proper varie? ties to adopt; and this ls a problem easier solved than formerly, when little attention was paid to this subject In the cultivation of Cotton by the great majority of Southern Planters. The sub? scribers have recently witnessed with pleasure the increased interest in improved varieties ex? hibited by the numerous responses (nearly 100 In number) to their letters Inquiring of Planters abont the characteristics of all thc known varie? ties of Cotton, and the effects or change of cli? mate and soil on different kinds. Thc established facts we have thus collected we arc prepared to apply to different soils and climates; and to any Planter (or association or Planters) who will ad? dress us, describing the characteristics or their localities, we will freely give the fruits of onr knowledge. Our different correspondents have given ns the control of every variety of Seeds we have heard of. Our hst comprises as many as twenty distinct varieties, and our specimen room of staVks, limbs, bolls and lint, that have been sent to us, ls a marvel of its kind. We are now prepared to HU orders (after a few day's notice) for "PETIT GULF," "DICKSON'S," "Monterey," "Peeler's," "Boyd's Prolific," "Vick's 100," "Goo? sey's," and "4 Bale;" and, with a few day's addi? tional notice, we can promise to procure almost any other denomination that may bc ordered. The facility with which bogus varieties may bc palmed off on purchasers, induces us to say that we are old merchants of New Orleans, and refer confidently to all the old merchants of this city. Liberal discounts will be made on large purchases. STEELE, PINCKARD A CO., novll 3D4C New Orleans, La. C Bxr? (Boobs, Ut. LOAXS! CLOAKS! Just received at A. R. .STILLMAN'S, No. 281 KIN?
