The latest news from Governor Hampton reports that he is getting much better, and is now considered ous of danger. The appearance of his wound couotinues to improve, and the anxiety which basso long prevailed has given place to an assured confidence in his rapid recovery. Tho Old Year. The year is about closinsr, and as the new ope comes wc can look back upon the post cad sec what its results have boon. As a country, we have been Messed with peace. Nowhere has the blood of our countrymen been spilled, or our flag insulted, save by a few occasional onslaughts upon the frontier. Pestilcuce has stalked with relentless fur}-, and the homes of a large portion of our land are now draped in mourning Political acrimony runs high, and the surging waves of blood that angrily rolled so high during the late war seem hard to calm. The harvest, as a gene^ ral thing, has been abundant, and our garners bear heavily the fruits of the earth." The winter thus, far ha-' been mild, and rnnch of the suffering 'that would have taken place on account of the terrible financial pressure is thereby alleviated. Universal business depres--?

Upon tho whole, there is much to be thankful for. Our own State has baen clear of disease, and although she . i ii - mourns tcwlay the temporary loss of her great loader, yet ia politics she glories in the resurection of her own government unditturhcd. No military tyrant waves his crest over bcr bosom, and the future gives no ugly thrcatenings of an approaching storm. Though trouble and actual want pervades to a great extent her whole society, yet the lessons of tho past should be as warnings for the future, and with a renewed energy much can be done for recuperation. Let us then, as the old year goes by, try j and remember its errors, and build up; for the new a life of hope and prosperity, i { * L !1 Tides Run Counter?There will be j, Shipwreck Somewhere.'' .
