Though Love in After Years.
I.
Though lone in after years
May he the heart 1 bring.
When rapture droops beneath her tears,
And hope, i? on the wing,
Yet. not for the? to Weep.
Oh! never let me know
That grief of mine, however deep,
Hath ever brought theo wo!
It.
Thus watching through the night.
One thc-Ught IIIV grief beguiles.
That, howsoe'er I fuel th" blicht,
It doth not check thy smiles;
My sdBl with courage bears
The woes 1 may not shun.
Assured ibut never yet my tears
Hath ever cost th.ne! K. li. C.
News from Washington.
WASHINGTON", June !).-Tue rn vs
tory enshrouding the conspirator,
Payne, instead of being pleuro 1 up, is
growing deeper every day. His bear?
ing and fortitude throughout thc trial
is ??otnelhitjg wonderful. Heat, chains,
handoiii?'s, and li.? awful presence of
certain death, the enrtstant gaze of tho
eag?-r ?md curious crowd, and all ihe
surroundings of the commission,
neither appal nor terrify him in thc
least. Foi his companions in misery
he deeply sympathize.--, and onlv
wishes. ' because he is stronger and
braver than they, that he cou! 1 bc
executed tor cadi one. To-dav a
Christian lady, of this city, sent him a
pocket-handkerchief and a message
that she should pray for him, und that
others prayed for bim. Ile received
the present with thc air and bearing-,
seemingly, of a "gentleman, returning
his thanks, and 'as to the prayers he
said no one praying tor him should
lal? ir alone; that be prayed for him?
self, 'l iiis last remark \v,:s made with
tntich emotion, his eye- filling with
tears; his nature is two fold; lie is
gentle, and yet as terrible as a hon.
?Ie has more endurance than falls to
the lot o? most men. Ile will go four
days at a time without eating or drink?
ing, and still be strong, lie has sat
in that court room thirty-two days
without relief from the usual course
ot' nature, and during all that time has
not uttered^ a complaint, ns to his health,
lie is yet young. Iii-; lace is beard?
less. When dressed asa gentleman
he is .'inc looking. lint w ho he is, and
where ho came hom, :s thc great
mystery.
Two members of tue Alabama de?
legation are still here, one of them
being Judge Parsons, of Talladega
who is so strongly urged for provisional
governor of that State. The Missis?
sippi delegation were well received hy
the President, though they find that
the same policy toward reconstruction
is to he pursued in their casi'. Hon.
George Houston, of Georgia, who is
here with the Georgia delegation,
claims lo have been a Union man over
since he withdrew from tho Federal
Congress.
Tho latest news from Spain docs
not state anything positive- as to tho
manner in which thu ijuestion of the
Stonewall is to be settled. Tho news
of the surrender of that vessel had
inst, reached theseatof Government;
but., as it, was anticipated, it did not
ci cate tho same impression as it the
thing had been quito unexpected.
People were discussing the probability
of (he rendition of the Stonewall to
the United States Government and of
the demand which had been made to
thal effect, bnt could not arrive nt a
definite cODcluc-iou. Many wore ol
opinion that thia vessel, bavins been
given up at a :ime wlien the belligerent
rights ot' the South were still in force
at Cuba and elsewhere. Capt. Page
was in the lull exercise of his right of
property when lie transferred his \'ossel
to the Captain General of?Ouba, and
that Spain is now her legitimate and
sole owner. If, on llie other hand, thc !
; belligerent rights nf the South ha J j
been annulled at '.he time of the ret?
dition of the Stonewall, that vessel |
would "have ceased to enjoy the immtt- i
nities and privileges conferred in such '
; a case to belligerents, and a* such
! might have been seized and confiscated
! aa a pirate. In both cases, then, if
j we ti'usflhis theory, the Federal Gov
! ernment has no riglit to claim from
I Spain the deliverv of thp vessel. Sue
is to remain in th? hands of the power
to which sim has been given.
Parties just arrived I rom Charleston,
with the intention, they say*, ol not
returning to that ci tv, tor many years
at ?cast, give the gloomiest account of
I the state of a ilaire in that region. In
their estimation the Palmetto State i-^
j threatened with a social revolution
! which nothing but the .permanent es?
tablishment of a strong loree in several
rfoealities of the interior can prevent.
Thoy represent the negro as perfectly
unmanageable,/nil ot pretension and
. in-olence, unwilling t.? work, and
: addicted to all thc? vices which idle
I nos engonders. In the rice districts)
I where the bhtrk population is to the"
; white as four to one, threats have
[been preferred by I lui tonner against
the latter which have induced many
i planters to leave their property and
I come North, front whence they intend
1 to ?ail for Europe. ? have spoken to
I half a dozen, who have all held tho
; same language and manifested the
! same apprehensions. Their tears, tr is
to he iioped, are !>u\ the result oi a
I frightened imagination. Itisimpussj
j ble, however, to deny that they aro in
! eartie.-,*, and really anticipated the. evils
which they lear.
The organization of negro labor in
the South, certainly one of thc mos:
important problems, ol' the hour, has
; excited and is still holding the attell
; lion of both Northerners anti South
j erners, who would be piad to lin.1 sonic
j system enabling lliem to realize i ni
I mediately the benefits cd the activity
; an? industry ol' a imputation of four
; millions of souls. Many plans havn
' been proposed, but none yet so efficient
I as to warrant the belief that the tina)
i solution of the problem has been ap?
prehended. In the French colonies,
I where theories ferr the organization of
j black labor have been put into prac?
I tice, L see that religions orders are
playing ii considerable part in the
i regeneration of the ue^ro, debased by
slavery. In several places, especially
! in the Island of Kennion, the religious
j orders have formed associations ol
I black* for working large tracts of land,
j in which the pomp and ceremonies of
j the Catholic religion are used as a
j powerful means ol action upon the
! ignorant negro. These associations, I
! understand, have produced the best.
results. The Legro lias all along paid
; the greatest respect to tlift.orders ol his
superiors, and shown a docility and
j activity truly remarkable. These as?
sociations arc organized pretty much
as a convent, or rather like the colo?
nies of Indians over which the Jesuits
held ?way so long ilk the Spanish pos?
sessions ol' America.
Parties who have known intimately
the rebel Vi ce-President, Alex. Ste
phens, previous to the outbreak of the
rebellion, having asked permission
, from the President to bend him written
! communications, have had their de
i maud returned wi til the answer that
neither written nor verbal comrauni*
I cations would 'ne sent him. They say
' that Stephens is very severely treated
i in his prison, and that books have
. been refused to the prisoner.
I Several personal friends of Prince
! Napoleon, who became acquainted
with hun or; h;s v;>:i to Washington.
' have written to him expressing their
admiration for his last. speech, and j
their regret, at the news of his rcsig j
nation. The Prince himself had ?
ordered several of his printed speeches |
to be forwarded to tins city, where he
has a lot of admirers and friends with
whom he keeps up ?a regular corres
pondence. . j
