AN EXQUISITE BALLAD.
The followingjballad is the imagery of an
Irish poet whose nania has escaped ns, but
all will agree irl pronouncing it highly im
aginative, purely affectionate, and singu
larly melodious:
Come to me, dearest, I'm lonely without
thee,
Day-time and night-time I'm thinking about
thee;
Night-time and daytime in dreams I behold
Uieo,
Unwelcome the waking which ceases to fold
thee;
Come to me, darling, my sorrows to lighten,
Come in thy beauty to bless and to brighten;
Come in thywomnhood,moeklyandlowly;
Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy.
Swaltows will flit around the desolate ruin.
Telling of Spring and its jeyous renewing;
And thoughts of thy love and its manifold
treasure,
Are circling my heart with the promise of
pleasure;
O'u! Spring of my spirit, Ohl May of my
bosom,
Shine out on my soul till it bud and blossom;
Tim waste of my Ufa has a rose-root within
it,
And thy fondness alone to the sunlight can
win it.
Figure which moves like a song through the
even,
Features lit up with the reflex of heaven,
Kves liks the skies of poor Krin, our mother,
Where sunshine and shadows re-chasing
eacli other;
Smiles coming seldom, but child-like and
simple,
And op'ning their eyes from the heart of a
dininle;
Oh! thanks to the Savior that even thv
seeming
Is left to Uie sleeper to brighten his dream-
Yon have been glad when yon knew I was
gmuaeneu;
Dear, are yen sad now to hear I am saddened?
Our hearts ever answer in tunc and in time.
love.
Aa octave unto octave, or rhyme unto rhyme
love,
cannot smile, but vour cheeks will bo
glowing:
Yon cannot weep, but mv tears will be
Ilovinir:
You w 11 ni t linger when I have died, love.
Come to me, dear, ore I die of my sorrow,
Bise on my gloom liko the suu'ou to-morrow.
Strong, swift and fond as the words which I
speak love,
With a song at lip, and a smile on your
cnecK.
Come, for my heart in your absence is
uruary;
Haste, for my spirit is sickened and weiry;
Come to the linns which alone shuil caress
thoe;
Come to the heart which is throbbing to
bless thee.

Golden curls nnd laughing eyes, bounding

This wax my love Nina Raymond.
"Be your wife? 1 iitvcr heard of kucIi
nonsense in u.y life! Your wife, indeed? I
should as soon think of marrying papa or
brother Will, or or Why, I cant think of
any other masculine so iiupugtible!"
i'his wis the answer to my suit.
"But why?'' 1 persisted.
"Why? Why don t a girl marry her
grntidwothet? It's betituso she 1,'otx tired of
seeing ttie old lady around. 1 can t remem
ber a day that I have not seen vour phiz
the fir.Ht thing in the morning and the last
thing in the evening. I never went to a
party with any other escort. 1 never was in
a scrape but you were my companion in mis
ery, or my shield from putushiuciit, I nev
er did a foolish thing but you were by to
laugh and rebuke. Oh! Marston, dear, and
go make love to tonic foreign lady; but dont
be so absurd as to marry your cousin who
lived with you under the same roof siuce I
was a baby.
"But all you say only proves my devo
tion. '"Devotion! Yon snub mo quite as often
as yon praue. Reside
She hesitated.
Well."
"I am only sixteen and am not going to
accept my very first offer. And then, Mar
stou you don't ooine within a thousand mile
ol my beau ideal."
"Ohl I don't. Pray describe your beau
ideal."
"Tall."
"I stand six feet once inch."
"Handsome, with black whiskers and the
manners of a traveler. A man who has not
lived all his life in this miserable, cooped up
village, but has seen the world and profited
thereby. One who has mixed in distinguish
ed society, and learned refinement of dress
and manner, and who can talk of something
besides books with a lady.
4,Ah! well, if you wont J have me, you
wont, so there's an end on it."
I got up lazily from the garden seat where
we had been sitting and strolled toward ilia
house. I saw her blue eyes open with a
mazenient at my coolness. I did not enact
despair for her benefit, but laid my plans
for nor edification.
Two days later 1 had left homo and gone
into the city on a visit. Nina gave me a
merry farewell, and did not seem at all heart
broken at the prospect of a separation. If
she felt any emotion, she was soon soothed,
as the following letter directed to my ad
dress convinced nicl
( "Dear Martson: My hero has arrived.
Such lovely black whiskers, not at all like
your smooth face,l cousin ; such jetty curls,
not auburn ones like yours; such black ej-e
brows and l-whes yours are yellow. He
has been everywhere, has seen everything,
speaks foreign language, and has tho most
polished manners. He brought a letter of
introduction to Will, so, of course, he is
here quite often, and seems very well pleas
with a certain cousin of yours."
And so on the letter was tilled up with
home gossip, I read it at the little inn of
my native village, where all my letters, re
directed to Mr. Alonzo Courtney, followed
me. The black whisker lay on tho table by
me, tho wig hung from the lookinor class.
while the dyed eyo-brOws and lushos still
adorn my face. My fine broadcloth suit,
cut in the latest city style, my patent leather
boots, kid gloves and dandy cane lay on a
chair, while 1 lounged in dressing gown and
slippers, before the window, warning my
cousin's letter. As I was engaged to drive
her out in an hour, I began my elaborate
toilet. Every curl was in position, every
fold correct, as I rang the bell of my uncle's
house, to which my fellow conspirator, Will
had introduced me. No suspicion of my
indentity crossed my aunt's mind as she
gave me polite welcome, and Nina's blinded
eyes saw only in Mr. Courtney tho traveled
dandy.
"I trust I see the rose of Glendale in full
health!.' I said with a low. ."Ah 1 those fair
bands were destained for dainter tasks than
th!" and I deprived h- r of her sewing.
Tba soft air wooe us- Will you .drive with
Wfth a bewitching little flst, and every i
curl in glossy beauty, she was soon ready for
oure'xeur-ion. I ciiinot tell all the flattery
I poured into beresrs, half disgusted at her
blu-hes, and ha f amused at her innocent
pleasure in my exagerated gallantry. It
was the first time I had been along with her
in my disguise, and took occasion to deli
cately hint at my ci.tire devotion to her
charms, and glinding my teeth at hef co
qneti.sh acceptance of the same,
I saw her every day for a month, pressing
my suit on all occasions, and filling her ears
with drawling affectations and flat descrip
tions of Italy and France, with broad com
parisons of the daughters of Europe and A
merica. At last I proposed. To my amazement
she refused me flat ; to my delight she in
formed me that her cousin Mart son was a
dressed up idiot. I do not mean that these
wore her exact terms, but her warm defense
of her cousin, after my sneering hints of
jealously, was fully equivalent to such a
declaration.
Of course, my proper self returned, radi
ant and hopeful. Will you believe it?
She was as offish as ever when I made my
advances. She was cousinly and sisterly till
I was in a fury over her cool case and inat-ter-of-coursc
affection, but would only laugh
at my love, and compare me slighily to her
recent admirer, and had tho audacity to
hint that her heart walked out at this door
at his departure.
I was half inclined to quit the field ; but
I loved the gipsy heartily, and could not
give her up. Luckily, I had a tun-stroke.
Now a sun-rtroke is not generally a fortunate
event but for me it opened the waj to my
present hatipines . I was in the garden
hat-less and busy about some fruit which
was being gathered, when nil tho face of
nature turned dark, and I fell.
"Martson! Martson! Only speak to
me I It is Nina : Oh 1 Martson do speak
t.i me."
Hot tears foil fast on my face. I had
been car.ied into the house, and it was the
s -ootid hour of my stupor when the words
struck my ear muffled and dim ; but delici
otisly sweet the door voice sounded in its ag
ony. Then Will said :
"Feel his pulse now, Nina. lie is com
ing round. I will leave you here while I go
and bring niothr r."
We were alone. I could not move but I
could feel her kisses rained on my face, her
sobbing regrets for past unkindness, nid
her low prayers, prayers whispered for my
safety. At last I opened my eyes.
"With my head resting on her arm, my
face raised to hers, and my hand clasping
hers, she could not escape. 8o she sur
rended at discretion, nnd we were married
nearly three months before I told her who
made her her second ofitr.
The Nashville Union' tirrctlii?
to I he Kadlcal Presses of the
East.
Tho Nashville Union of the 1st insf.,
sends the following greeting to the Radical
presses of the East:
A number of the more ardent of tho
Radical presses of the East, that were swift
to denounce the present occupant of the
Presidential chair for making a. drunken
exhibition ot himself as they alleged on
tiie 4th of March; but found him, so soon
as he snecet d.l to the Presidency, a "niar
ycliAisly proper man,'' arc making prepara
tions to open upon him again the floodgates
of vituperation. As yet they do not speak
out decidedly. They are beating about the
misn. tie nas not taken a position on tho
question of conferring political equality
upon the negro, to suit them. They pro
fess not to understand him. If he means
thus and so, say they, then he is not up to
the demands of the hour not yet emerged
from the worse than heathenish daikncss
which has befogged the intellects of South
ern statesmen. Rut, they continue, we
must wait and hear him further surely it
cannot be that he will enunciate and main
tain a policy which will confine the negroes
of the Southern States to a degraded po
sition of political inequality. So, if the
President should fall below the standard
which they have prepared for him, all thi
dogs in the pack will be turned upon him
aain. It has probably never occurred to
these officious gentlemen of the press that
they might be heard with u more tolerant
spirit if they would, bclbre insisting upon
others recognizing and treating the negro
as a political equal, begin the work at home
and give their Southern friends the benefit
of their example. President Johnson, they
ought to reflect, has been all his life in the
midst of a negro population. lie has done
more for the negroes of Tennessee, than
any other man. lie took the responsibility
as military Governor of proclaiming their
freedom, regardless ot the denunciatirn of
traitors and pro-slavery Union men; and
saw that his decree of freedom was respect
ed. The experiment of freedom, under his
auspices, gave Jam a fair opportunity to
form a jut t opinion of the capacity of the
freedmen tor the higher privileges opened
to them already, and for others for which
they aspire. The opinions of a sincere
friend of the negro, formed under favorable
circumstances, it strikes us, ought to be re
spected at least by those who have no prac
tical knowledge of the subject. Rut wheth
er this bo done or not, President Johnson
will, we are assured follow the convictions
of his judgment, and discharge his duty
honestly and conscientiously. Opposition
has never yet deterred him from pursuing
the right, or maintaining his principles, and
he is not likely now to falter from fear of
opposition, or even to trim to catch support.
'J hose who think otherwise will find them
selves egregiously mistaken.
Wild Petteiwint as a Rat Extermi
nator. Alexander Robinson writes to the
Canada Farmer: "I have for the last four
years provod to my satisfaction that the
'wild pepermint' is a sure and reliable ex
terminator of rats. In proof of the fact
I will state the result it had with nie. Four
years ago my barn was regularly infested
wun raw; toey were so numerous that 1 had
great fears of my whole grain being de
stroyed by them, after it was housed; but
having about two acres of wild peppermint
mar grew in a ueia oi wnear, alter the wheat
was harvested, the mint as cut and bound
with it, and drove tho ra's from my prem
ises. I have not been troubled, with nno
since, nor am I nt present, while my neigh
bors have any quantity of them. I feel
confident than any person who is troubled
with these pests, could easily get 'ed of
them by gathering a good supply of the
mint and placing it round the walls or base
of their boms."

As there is much curiosity to see the
v'e -s oi t le treat rej ull.can champion ttpon
negro suttiage. which were recently uliuutd
to, we tive below a fuller report ot them:
"At the annual meeting of the New-
Engiand Ai.tw lavcry Convention, on Wed
nesdy, Wendell Phillips took the stand, and
said that the real topic tor uucussion was
immediate suffrage for the negro. Mr.
:uaynaru, or lennessee, was right, mere
was no time to agitate this question. Dis-
cu.-ion before the people would not secure
colored suffrage for twenty-five years. The
right must be conceded at once to secure the
nation from serious trouble, and, perhaps.
disaster. The conditiiion of every black
man was to day no better than in 1M3, and
he did not sec how ny man could say sla
very was abolished and give up his efforts
in the. anti-slavery cause. It would be
year before even the technical abolition of
slavery would lake place. 'I he condition of
the negro at the South was in a state of re
mai-Kaoie uncertain. y. xNo man could say
whether he could own property, protect his
wile, tesiity in a court, or exercitcany other
natural light. JL lie white mec ot each
State claimed the privilege to regulate all
this, and the Tennessee Legislature had
just enacted a law concerning free colored
people. Do they enact laws regarding tree
white people? All that concerns the colored
ueonlc is to be regulated by the whites, and
what will the whites do when their States
are rt constructed without the necro iian
cbise? They would unite wiih the old Dem
ocratic party in the hut Congress ot Joon
son's Presidency, and show the friends of
liberty who it is that has really been whip
ped in this last hour of tho war. The
black race would be kept practically in the
condition of sel ls, bound to the soil. The
admsision of a single State without negro
suffrage would settle the whole question, and
slavery would exist in reality, but not in
name.
"After this was settled, the next Question
forced into Congress would be the accep
tance of the Southern debt. And if this
was done successfully, he would argue tor
repudiation of the whole to the last nour of
his lite. Deprive the South ot netro suf
frage, and every drop of blood has been
spilled, and every dollar of treasure expend
ed in v.-iin. Aheady had threats been made
that reconstruction would be put through
next wiuicr, on an anti-negro basis, in spite
of all oppo.itioii. It would be the great
question of the Congressional session, 'this
spring Mr. Sun.ncr said to Mr. Lincoln,
'Louisiana must be reconstructed on tho
basis of the lAclaiatioii ot Indvpeiideiiee.'
Mr. Lincoln hesitated, and did not reply,
w hen Mr. St inner said, Sir, if you recon
struct it on any other basis, count on me as
an (rip neiit." That was the position for
eve;y friend of a permanent Union and of
p.rmancni Jrccduiu to take, und stand by it
liruiiy. Far better that Grant had surren
dered to Lec than that the President should
surrender to North Carolina or Louisiana,
and make u-ele s all th.i sufferings and

The steamer Countess, Captain Thomp

1 1:14 this morning. A friend on board has
written us the fallowing account of tl e
great land slide, which occurred at Colum
bus this morning. Other and fuller par

Editor Cairo Democrat: I have just
time and paper enoogh to give your valua
ble paper an item ot immense interest. I
came on boord the Steamer Countess, at
Hickman, Ky., at 7 o'clock A. M., bound
for your city, and arrived at Columbus at
9 o'clock, and witnessed at that point one
ot the most terrible sights, in the way of a
land slide, that I ever beheld. Acres ot
ground trom the blufl above the city went
into the river, carrying with it several hou
ses, and the greater part of the fortifications
cannon, &o. 1 did not learn whether the
houses were tenanted or not. It was said
that a number of persons, among them sol
diers, were fishing under the bluff at the
time, and were buried underneath the mass
of earth.
When the Countess left Columbus, it was
a theater of excitement. Of course all ef
forts to dig out the unfortunate persons will
prove unavailing.
Hundreds ot bails of cotton, and great
quantities of tobacco, are coining into Hick
man weekly, which gives that place quite a
business-like apperance. All doinedations
by guerrillas and outlaws upon the people
here have ceased, and peace and quiet pre
vails. The rebels have subsided, and the
guerrillas have left the country.

down the river, as a correct chronicler fit'
the news of the day. Its statements are

tion laws in any State us to permit negroes
to vote, he or they have power to do the
same thing in all the Slates. If Mr. John
son has any right to establish negro suffrage
in North Carolina, he has the right to do so
in West Virginia or Ohio. The sarao coii
Irols or proti cts each ftate alike.
In his North Carolina proclamation the
President stated a very important tact when
he said that the right to prescribe the qual
ifications of eleetors belonged to the respec
tive States. It has been exercised by them
and hasnotl cen ii.frirged uj ori since the for
mation of the government. Jn some of the
States, fori it tiers are n quired to reside in
the Sti t-j IWiiiiy-one yeais bttbre acquiring
citizen.-hip, in others, foreigners are permit
ted to vote as somas they have diclared
tncir liiiimiuu to otcome citizens, in some
of the States negroes owning a certain
amount of property are allowed to vote; in
others, negroes are permitted to vote upon
the same terms prescribed for white Citizens;
and in others, negroes are not permitted to
vole at all. It is purely a State question,
and the Fedfra! government never has claim
d orcxcicised any cuntrol over the matter
whatever.
Those who arc now clammoring for the
extension of suffrage to the emancipated
negroes of tho South by means of Fedeial
power, are clamoring for the violation of
the Constitution of the United States, and
for the destruction of a right as sacred to '
the people ot the Northern States as to
those of the South.
If negro suffrage bo established in South
Carolina by a Presidential proclamation, it
may also be established, by the same means
in West Virginia. If the President has
power to confer the right of suffiaire unon
any class of persons, he has also the power
to take it away. He may, by proclamation,
enfranchise the negroes in Ohio, and by an
other, or tho same, disfranchise all the
whites!
This is the power for which tho radicals
contend, and it is because President John
son will not commit the monstrous crime of
its exercise that he is denounced as a "Davis
sycophant" by Wendell Phillips, and "a
usurper and an impostor" by Charles Sum
ner. W'heeJing Jiem'ster.

Great Land-slide A Fearful
Crevasse Impending The Gov
ernment ty the Rescue.
We are informed by a friend, who arrived
in the city late last night, that a land slide
occun'd last evening, at about sun-set, on
the plantation of Mr. J. P. Leprete. on tba
right bank, about seven miles below Algiers
curving 'he levy entirely away with it to
the space of one acre.
Our inliii mant states that the water is
running through, about lour feet in depth,
the levee at that place being about five feet
h gh. If it is permitted to run the conse
quence must be great loss of crops and oili
er property to the planters in the parishes
ot Orleans and Plaquemines.
Hero now is another emphatic call upon
the assistance of the Government, which
alone has the power and the ability to como
to the rescue and save us from a fearfully
impending evil.
We learn that the authorities have been
made acquainted with the accident prompt
ly, and wc have doubt that they will at once
take the proper measures for the prevention
of the great damage that must inevitably
ensue from it, it it is not immediately ut
teuded to.

' The same system continues in operation
in Eastern Ohio as heretofore, and with in
creasing results tor the year just closed. In
the tweuty-two counties which compose the
eastern division of agency, there are now
thirty-six auxiliary, and about three hund
red and thirty-six distinct organisations.
Connected with them are about five hun
dred unpaid officers, and three thousaud
unpaid local agents. Nearly all these socie
ties have good depositories of Bibles from
which local agents have been supplied for
the Biblical wants of their districts during
the year.
The number ef volumes distributed dur
ing the year, is about eighteen thousand,
and the amount of lunds. received for the
cause in this district of agency is tu-tnty-tecm
thousand eight hundred and dyhti
two dalliirs, being an increase of about sev
en thousand dollars over those of the pie
ceding year, or in the ratio of about 25 per
cent. This is much the largest sum ever
contributed from Eastern Ohio, and has
enabled all the auxiliary societies to make
donations to the parent society, besides pay

mcbtic distribution. In this way nearly ten
thousand dollars have been rcimit-u oi. uu
i.ation alone. An unusually larne number
of lit'.: nieiiibei ships to the parent society
have also been oi taiued during the year.
Out of thirty thousand families visited, less
than eleven hundreu have been found desti
tute of the scriptures and all but sixty-four
have been supplied by sale or by grant.
The receipts from Ohio exceed those of
every other State except New York, and
are just twice as much as those of Pennsyl
vania, being eighty-four thousand and sixty
four dollars, an advance of fifteen thousand
five hundred and thirty seven over those of
the preceding year, and amounting to near
ly as niuJi as those of the entire New Eng
land States together. We rejoice in these
increasing tokens of God's blessing upon
this noble work, and hope that Ohio may
still lead the van in years to come.
The work ot tho American Bible Society

American Sunday school Union. A
pamphlet has just been issued giving a his
torical sketch of tho American Sunday
School Union. The Firt Day, or Sunday
School Society, was established, in 1791.
There was also, prior to 1820, nil organiza
tion known as the Sunday and Adult School
Union, embodying the grand principles on
which it was j ronosed to establish a nation
al institution, and accordingly in May, 1824,
the new or present society was formed ; the
old society's book's, &c, valued at about
$5,XX), were translcrred. In 1827 sitty
se en bo k agercie.- had been established.
The receipts of the si ciety during the first
year amounted lo $4,000, and in tho fourth
year to $58,000. In 1829, the first perma
nent agency west of the Alleghenies was
established at Ciicinnalh The earliest
translation of the Society's wot ks in!o for
eign languages was in 1833. They i re now
more or less known in French, Gorman,
Greek, Swedish, Porttigt ess, Benaglec, and
one or two other languages of India. A de
pot was opened in Calcutta, for the sale of
the Societies' publications. The disburse
ments of the Society during the forty years
just completed, have been about five millions
of dollars. There arc now on the latest cat
alogue of the Society's publicasions, two
thobsand or more distinct publications all
directly in thefurtheianccof the crand pur
pose of the Society. More than five mil
lions of bound volumes have been circulated,
involving an actual outlay of $600,000.
Negro Suffrr.g;e,
The i two questii n now most extensively
i gitaiitig the Republicans are negro suff' .age
and treason trials. The more moderate por
tion of the parly, if anything Republican
be possessed of moderation to a degree, are
opposed to forcing negro snffiapo upon the
South, as they are also to tho hanging of
rebel lenders. But there arc me.n in office,
and after oftiee who seethe destinies of this
country in the future under the control of
negro votes, nnd they take the present as
their opportunity to start their political
crafts upon the tide that will sweep them to
success. Until recently, the Radical claim

have never been in Washington before, sod
they seem to regard themselves as havinr
pome kind of right to appropriate arlich-M

pay for these when they have mofiey; but if
they are not in funds, they don't lot thif
trouble tlitrn. The guard houe and police
stations are crowded this afternoon with job1
diets, who have been arretted for petty
thefts. The military guard of the Prrvost
Marshal has been doublod, and disorderly
soldiers arc arrested. But the evil has not
yet been checked in the least, and irious
trouble is apprehended. There is only ofiti
way to prevent this, and that is to enforce
strict discipline at camps. It may well bo
doubted whether it was wise, after all, to
bring two such large arnm s to tho cupitol.
and whether it would not be better low t j
remove one ot them to si ne other pohrt.- If
an outbreak should occur, the coiiMueuoe
might be most deplorable. It was only a
day or two ago, that several thousand men
from Sherman's army made an attack on--the

completely, robb.'d it tit' food, and held
their ground when attacked till seven f

men can bo paid off, and tha hitter them

The Political Issue.
Negro suffrage will bo the chief politiciJ
issue, until it is settled by a decisive vote of
the people. Our Abolitionist I-iegi'slntum

Of course tbe first pra portion will bo td
give the right to vote, sit on.jeries and hold

That a considerable number of the lie
