Tears from the skies are falling fast,
And sighs are borne upon the blast,
" For the winds of the night are wailing.
In ? lone eot sit watehors weeping,
Hear Ida's couch their vigils keeping ;
Tears from their eyes are tailing fast?
The rose lies crushed?its fragrance pa?t,
And watohers, the watchers are weeping.

: Letter from C. L. Valiai.dighaip
The following was written in response
to letter from the editor of the La
Croese Democrat:
Dattok, Ohio, Jan. 2. 1807.
if. V. Pomcroy, Esq., La Crosse, Wis,:
DbarSir: Yours of the 31st ult_,
with the card incloeed, I hare just reoeived,
and will answer impromptu.
As to your first inquiry, Congress, in
my opinion, has no mom constitutional
power to * territorialize " the u seceded
States" (so called) than to make territoriesof
Ohio and Wisconsin. Neilha*

^ 'bined. The States made the Fedeial
Government, in the beginning; but now
the febleof Saturn is reversed, end the
child devours the parent.
As to your second inouiry?the pre*
bnhle " result if the radical scheme be
curried out or attempted "?pardon me
a little Latin 1 de Carthagine satcus est
tilers quam dicere. Only general re
suits, at the most, can be fbracen by the
wisest of mortals, and in these daik
times, when every lesson of history, and
avery lew of God, of man, of poliiical
economy and of finance, seem to bo
broken with impunity, and when either
. folly or treachery, or cowardice, or all
three together, thwart the wisest, most
honest, most patriotic plans for the public
good, I bave ceased even to speculate
as to the future; much less do I
venture to prophesy. Yet, I think that
bad -the programme for the political
campaign of 1800, as agreed upon,
formally, at Washington, in April and
May last, been honestly, courageously
and vigorously carried out, instead of j
being set aside, for that combination of
. procured abortion and accidental miscarriage,
the Philadelphia Convention
of August 14lh, we should have had as
great a victory in the fall elections as

fear that the laat hope of the reaction
perished then, and that the " Great Rev
olution of i8fll " must now go on un"
checked, till either it ahall have overturned
totally in foririj as already substantially
in fact, that great old Federal
Republic which our fathers set up ; substituting
in its stead imperialistic despotism,
under the shadow of the name
and form and the cant of free institutiona
or have precipitated a counter
revolution, through which, by the expiation
of fire and blood, and suffering,
it may be, the American people shall
recover that light, free, cheap system of
government Which they so eagerly and
recklessly have thrown away. All this,
indeed, was implied by the late.civil
war for the Union, when it commenced ;
and I, for one, have no new. quarrel
with radicalism and its exponents for
striving to attain the natural, legitimate
and inevitable -esults of changing our
system from a Government of consent
to a Government of coeroion or force.
At the ??mo time I am not prepared
to compete with then\ in the race of
radicalism; and if I wore, I should aim
JT at that which alone could command sue*
>" c?s?; to " ont-Jlerod Tierod,"'and go at
one bound ?q far heyond its present de
r mands, . thai . Republican radicalism
would stand aghast. I should " cutun/
der " to-deep that no * lower deep*1
could be (band or fathomed. For,jn
sooth, I am not one of those who dolode
tbetnroires with the vain notion,
that by yielding one half the other can
be made secure. Such "sops to Cerebus"
never silence the' triple beaded dog ol
fanaticism. And there is but one w?y
to deal with a revolution ; either'to go
with it totally, and ahead of it, or Agnl
It every ineh'and crnth it. We hither
to have not so/ought the batlle, and bj
oontenuence, we hare gone down before

lurcn* ror, hi ra. uuiwi in ui? unw
ry of Cforowelt, profoundly observes,
" it is by exhaustion and necessity that.
God imposes justice and good sense upon
nations."
Meantime, however, deriving sucli
satisfaction?and it is both great and
sweet?as springs from the recent decisions
of tho Supreme Court of the
United States, convi<rting Abraham Lincoln
and his administration of high
crime against the Constitution and public
and private liberty, I confine myself
chiefly?having no cabbage garden to
cultivate, especially during the present
cold snap? to the studies and labors of
my profession, and am content just now
to look on in politics, and await with
faith and pa;ienco the work of'Mim?', the
corrector and avenger." Two suggestions
only 1 would make, most respectfully
:
1. Ought we not forthwith to begin
to agitate for a Convention of all the
States, to meet and adjust upon the basil
of llie fundamental principles of the
old Constitution and Union, the new
and momentous questions, and the altered
condition of things, arising out of
tho late war. and if the 44 bargain "
which our fathers made for the sake of
securing a Union and Federal Governmeet
at all, is to be set aside under
rretcnse of establish ing exact justice snd
equity, and States are to bo dealt with
as the mere creatures of the Federal will
nnd pleasure, and divided, consolidated
dated moulded to suit the fashion of the
hour, and tho interest of those who can
secure and hold the power, is it not a
good time now to demand that the gross
iniquity of the present Senatorial representation
should give way to 44 equity
before the law." and that in re settling
the great question of suffrage upon the
theory of4* impartiality," three millions
of 44 Yankees shall no longer be permitted
to vote twelve Senators, while
three millions of 44 Buckeyes " are graciously
allowed to vote but two ??
Would New England, Ihink you, see
the point!
2. Without a single representative
man, to whom all defer, in any depart
ment of the Federal Government, or
any State Government in the North or
West, without even a general committee,
always in session, and having the
confidence of the patty, and therefore
without any means to give uniformity,
concert and promptitude to the opinions
and actions of iho Democratic party,
upon the sudden -and very grave
niieslinnv which ' in-tho midst of a re
volution every day, bring# forth to perplex
and divide, what that party needs
most now, ia it not a flirt clans dnity
newspaper, say at Washington?like
the old Washington Globe?secure on
its pecuniary foundation, totally Democratic
in its politics, controlled by *
clique, dependent only on the Demo
cratic masses for support, the reflex ol
their sentiments, devoted heartily tc
their interests, and edited by" some on<
or more of the statesmen of the country
having an established national roputa
tion, and in whose ability and integrity
alike the people have full confidence!
Cut of! by fanaticism and revolutionary
hate from every oilier public employ
nient, what, but want of capital, cai
forbid the representative public men o
the Dempcratic pai^y, from conneotinf
themselves with the M Fourth , Estate
a department in politics quite as honor
able and as full of dignity, more po
tential too, ancT far more luorative, of

ft potato nose, a
nose, or a tr.rn^htless
people deei
probocis, while
a large nose,call <
it a promontory. A Frenchman says
of a clever man, ibnt he has a fine nose ;
of a prudent one, thAt he has a good
nose; of a proud man, tbat hs carries
bis nose in the air; an inquisitive person
is said to poke his nose everywhere;
a gourmand is desciibed as siways
having his nose in bis plate ; that
ui ui? Bciiuinr ib saiu 10 ue always in
hi* books. When an individual is growing
angry under provocation, the French
say the mustard is rising to his nose.?
The English say of a man who does
not form very decisive opinions?who
is led by what others say rather than
by his own judgment?that he is led
by the nose. Others who d</themselves
harm when trying to injure nn enemy,
are said to have cut off the noseto*pite
the face. And in love affairs, when a
rival has been supplanted, it is said that
he has had his nose put out of joint.
A whole issue of the llome Journal
might be filled with the humorous al?
lesions which have been made on the
nose. From the earliest times, down to
the present, it would seem as if there
were a tacit agreement among mankind
to make the nose a subject of jest. The
following is a .versification of a rctnaik
said to have been made by the Emporor
Trojan on a man, who not only had a
very largo nose, but largo teeth, also:
"Let Dick one summer'* day expose
Before the sun his monstrous noso.
And stretch his giant mouth, to cause
Its shades to fall upon his jaws ;
His nose so long, his mouth so wide,
And those twelve grinders, sido by aide,
I>ick, with very litt1? trial,
Would moke au excellent sun dial/'
The literal translation of the remark
ih . jHiu'nig juur |iui?o u|i|iu9ue iu me
bud, and, opening your mouth, you will
show th3 hour to all observers. Another
Greek poet desctihen the nose of a man
as being so large that its 'distance from
his earn pievenled him from hearing
himself sneeze. And of Castor's rose,
it is said it combined all the useful in
struments of life?a spado, a trumpet,
an anchor, a pot book, etc.
Although the nose has boen ridiculed
- through all time, and held in contempt,
yet the majority of the greatest men
who hare ever lived have been noted
for large noses. Tbe Romans h?d a
proverb : " JVon cuiquc datum est habere
hasuni "?it is not common to every
one to have a nose ; meaning .that it
was not evory one who could boast of a
prominent n??sal appendage,or, to speak
more plainly, have an expressive nose.
Cyrus the Great bad a long, slimp nose,
and the Persians of the present day, in
order ^iat they may resemble, in one
particular, at least, their great warrior,
pinch their no?es to resomble his.?
Cicero was called the orator with the
equivocal nose. - Julius Caesar had an
aquiline nose; so had Aspaaia, Pari*,
and Achilles; but the nose of the old
philosopher, Socrates, it is sad to relate,
was a decided pug.
It is almost needless to say that the
nose enters very largely into the matter
f of parsonnl beauty. All writers on phy
Muiogy nuu u<$nuirv grent *ircs* on
(lie part itmuat lake in the facial' outline.
Soma call it tho regulator of all
tbeolher features. One claims it should
be one-thir.l the length from the tip of
the chin to the roots of *he hair, and,
if there is any deviation from this rule,
it must be an_ e*ce**, for it would bo
better to have loo large a nose than one
^ too sroalli Plato called the aquiline
? the rovai nose, and, fioin the fact that
the suVjec'a (>f most of the eaily sculptors
and pointers were represented as
having largo nose*, we may judge that
" they preferred ,?bem to small onts.

rob them of their slaves and hold the

should have arrayed the forces at his

out of Washington at the ndint of

rallied in defence of their constitutional

Stanton on tiik Situation.^?The
Washington coi respondent of the Boston
Tost sends tho following to that
journal*:
V lion. John Covode called upon Secretary
Stanton yesterday, and there en
sued a long and friendly discourse on
tho status of the country. Mr. Stanton
appeared very desirous of discussing the
Current events of national import, r.nd
expressed biiti*elf freely. Lie confessed
that from the very outset the disputations
of the Executive and Legislative
branches of the Government had caused
him the livliest alarm, which, since the
movement toward impeachment, had
.increased to an apprehension of revolution
and anarchy. The burden of his
remarks was in regard to certain Bets
of the President and Congress, and be
pointed gloomily to the deleterious ef
fects of each upon tho nation. In parting
with Covode, Mr. Stanton reniakcd :
1 I aided to place two millions of men
in the field to put down the rebellion ;
three hundred thousand have bitten the
dust, and an equal number are cripple*
throiqjlxjut the land { and yet, with all
this tremendous effort and corresponding
sacrifieo, tho country, in my judg
ment, is shadowed with gloom of a dark
er hour than was incident to any crisis
of the lato war.' ThiHatter expression of
Mr. Stanton's solicitude is given me with
scrupulous exactitude by a gentleman
minntely acquainted with every circumstance
in the premises? and who further
avers that the Secretary seemed completely
unmanned when ho uttered the,
last rcmatk, and abruptly turned from
his visitors to conceal his emotion."

>n? p^nt was, that the land-owner*
ere sbouldpraclicalty acknowledge
lift freedom of the freedmem If the
Jeneral could hare stood upon the
treets of NVinnsboro from the first of
December until the present lime, he
rould hare found his advice upon the
mint in question perfectly superfluous'
n its application to the citizens of Fairield.
The fact is the land*owners of this
District have erred in conceding more
reedom to the freedmen than to a white
nnn. Hero is tho proof of it. In De
ember there was a strong effort by both
airfield planters and those (or their
igents) from Florida, Texas and Missis
ippi, to secure sufficient labor for 1867.
['hp competition was fairly carried on ;
o far as w6 know, not a?ingle instance
incurred where the freedman wan not
eft entirely free to choose employers
shere ho.preferred. Bnt upon the first
>f January, hundreds of contracts had
>oen closed between employer and la>orer-in
the Distilct. And what folow?
? Simply this?land-owners or
heir agents from olher States hare come
ind many of those contracts have come
o grief from" the fact that the freedmen
inve been prevailed upon ts go else*
vjhere for higher wages.
Now we put this simple question to
ifl whom it may concern. If, instead
>f these freedmen violating their conracta,
tho violation were committed by
he employer, would we not have the
h'reedmen's lluremt agents down upon
is like a durk upon a June bug?
Is there no protection to the employ?r
? Ho is compelled to forfeit aeon
siderable portion of his income by such ]
* vtolat:?.n of tlie contracts, while the
laborer foifcits nothing.
General Scott makes another point in
his voluntary advice. Il is as to the
duty of impressing upon the freedrnen
respect for law and duty. Now it hap
pens that the way things are woikmg
in (his section, law and duty are best
respected in their violation than in their
obsei vauce.

Accotidino to ono of our exchanges,
Governor Orr has stated that a coin'
pany, with a capital of five millions, is
now forming to commence a manufacturing
establishment on a largo scale in
this State. Wheie, when, and to whom
this statement was made is not mentioned,
nor is any information given as
to the nature of the enterprise about to
he started wjth such ample means. It
is to be hoped, however, that the state
ment is correct, as (he use of so large a
capital in any kind of manufacture will
help to reconstruct our Slate on the
most solid foundations. Capital is one
of the wants of the South, which it will
be found most difficult to supply, and
its advent into our midst should always
be heartily welcomed.?Phoenix.
