From every shrub, and htah, and tree they One by one on the sward no longer In glen, In shady wood, in forest tall All day long they drop in their gaudy sheen. Some wear a purple eoatom orange. And some are rosy as an evening sky Some have sv oat which Bight bath be.

dewed, And sparkles like the light In Beauty's Some float gaily on the winding river On its broad bosom they sail toward the Down the ebbing tide tbey dance they quiver, And voiceless pass away from wood and lea, How they fall when the Night-wind passes AH hooded In mantle of sombre hue On the Earth's cold bosom, how thick they In unseen beauty, bedecked by the dew Others twine together In J-nd embrace, ivlth pearly drops on them faintly gleam In each twinkling drop we dimly trace I The stnlle of a star above It beaming. Many glide awa oh the iephyr's wings, And wander afar to wither and fade Perhaps to some clime where the nlghtin. 'gale sings, 1 And tho warrior woos his dark-eyed aiald. But, there are fallen leaves other than those Which drop from the tree and shrub and flower: now oft they were happy at evening's close Around the beartb-etone, in that pensive hour I They have passed awayj and no more will smiio Where Tenderness and Joy spuke in sweetest tone The memory of their love must now be- guile (.

Our community was startled, on tha min ing of the 28ll) inst, by the announcement tliat Dr. Loienio UibsoD, who, the day Ija-fore was in tho euiorment of hi uii health and spirits, had breathed his last, at uiuin, n. in. Dr. Gibson was a native of Tennessee, and was sixty-three years of age.

He studied law in Clnrksville, in his nntive county, Montgomery, and was admitted to the bar. at an early age. In consequence of a disease which embarrassed him In Its pursuit, ne nnanoonel the legal sod adopted the meuicai proicssion, in which he acquired degree of proficiency seldom attaim-il. In 1834, lie immigrated to the Territory of Arkansas, and esublUhod himself as a merchaat iu this city. When the memorable financial crash of 1837 came upon the muuirj, wiui niosi 01 mosa engoged in mer cautilo pursuits, be was crushed, and com- iwueu iu tees uie repair or his broken for tunes, in other sod less hazardous pursuits.

In 1841 be removed to Hot Springs county, and engaged in farming and the practice ol medicine; and in 1849 returned totbiscitv, woere ne resiaea to the tune of bis death in a uon uaie alter b'S emigration to Arnnu.na ur. v.iusun occame prominent in uie political attain or the country. He represented Pulaski county In the iowcr house or the Uenerai Assembly, In the sessions of io.v 104O-I. Mot Hpring county in the imj-j, ana I'utaskl county, again, in me session or 1850-T. In 1840, he was the candidate of the Whig party for Governor.

In 1849, upon the accession of the Whigs to the administration of the Gen eral uovernment, he was appointed by President Taylor Surveyor General of Arkansas, and continued to hold that office, ui.uurging; iu nuiies witn marked shinty, until tns close of President Fillmore's Ad- ministration. At the election for members oi congress, in 1864, be received a large vote for representative from this district, and at the time of his death, was prominent be- mro uic puunc ior tne position of U. 8. Senator. Whfn Dr.

Gibson entered the political areua, ne round there sucb men as Ashley, Sovier, Cummins, Fowler, Trapnnll, Cocke and Newton men, whose names, when the history or Arkansas Is written, will adorn its brightest pages, and lie was the acknowledged peer of the ablest of them. As a debater, whether in tba letrnlativ. b.ll. or iu. iiuouiigs, is nouDttul whether be uua an equul.

Ilis reasoning and analytical powirs were remarkable, iio possessed the rare power makinir the mut Hini. nli subjects mors intwyttiiig to the learned, and at the same lime plain to the understanding oi mo unicarnru. Hoi iu the avowal of uis opinions, aud firm in maintaining thorn, he was ever tolerant of the omnium of oih. trs, and scrupulously regardful of the rights and feelings of those who differed with biin. But It was not alone udou Ilia inlilie itaire that Dr.

Oihson sMtine conspicuously. In the relations of bu.twud, (ather and friend, bs presented a model for imitation. As a husband he was devoted as a father be was kind and affectionate nover erasing in bis care for the welfare and proper training of those With whose education and training Providence bad charged him. As a friend. be was admired and beloved.

Tbe afflicted will long remember bissvmnatheLin. as well as his untiring attention; and It will be long helots His poor will forget bis untiring attention to their wsuts. and to the relief of their sufferings. Are there not a few now occupying prominent positious In society, who have a recollection of advice freely giv-en, words of encouragement kindly spoken, when in their youth they were struggling with fortune, and perhaps poverty. That be was faultiest, no one will contend; but be bis faults what they may.

let us cast them Into oblivion; and bis virtues, let us all iimuibo, iu wicj were men virtues as make men respected and useful. Dr. Gibson leaves a Urge family to moiim is untimely demise.

The Columbia lltrald and f7nrtii nt Kit. urday says: learn that In a fit of men-! Ul aberration, and old gentleman named I Kelly, living near Hampshire, In this county, I committed suicida las', wctk, cut Ills a be very clever and admirable article Which follows is taken, with the above title, rrora the Pniladclphia Aj. It relates to a subject which cannot be discussed wlthont pain and repugnance, but which it would be mawkish to pass without, comment, The statjatics of the Touulry show a direct and remarkable ratio between Puritanism and prostitution.

Hawthorne's powerful but morbid story of the. 'Scarlet Letter, which only a Saw Englandet could have written, is not wlthont its bearing npon this singular fact; for it illustrates, with the vividness of genius, the strange operation of false and nn natural religious teachings and practices upoo the moral constitution and the physical temperament. Thus It Is that the New EnglandStates, while crucifying tbe rest of the land by the enforcement of their "ideas." and wearying the world with the perpetujd proclamation ol their piety and vlrtueaf-ford a practical demonstration of what it al' amounts to by contributing to the stews and brothels, North aud South, a larger proportion of their wretched inmates than any other section. Not only that, but it is notorious that, under a sort of Monroe doctrine of their own, they assert Si supremacy in harlotry even in the West Indies and the "Sister Republics" of South America. The recent tragedy to which the Agt refers is, therefore, full of a dark moral, and the able writer of tbe article below has pointed it with pathos, severity and truth: I The organs of Northern loyalty have re cently entertained their re.iders with narra tives more or less in detail of the frightful snipwrecK or tne uventng star.

It was tru ly a harrowing tale, but there was one com nient which none of them, In their hosts to sympathize, made. What was the chief freight which this Northern shin was carry. ingto tbe South? What the cargo which New York was sending to New Orleans? nat sort or average would there have been if some of the living load had been thrown overDoard to save the rest? Were the prof its on the adventure injured by Yankee or New York underwriters? It wss literally a ireignioi iniomy. A notorious bawd, with forty or fifty prostitutes, was on board the wretched ship, and they perished toireiher. This is the plain English of the story.

Now, of these poor womanly creatures who, in the hour tf terror and agony, behaved bravely, we have not a word of unkindncss to say. In truth, there is something touching and picturesque in tbe farewells in New York harbor to their companions, in the su perstitious fantasies as to dreams and all sorts of omens, and their assimilation in the course of the voyage to those who were purer than themselves and who perished with them. Still, it was a freight of pollution. hipped by the philanthropic, triumiihnnl and virtuous North, to the degraded, subjugated, unholy Now, let us suppose for a moment a dim rent course of this sort of trade. That a steamer should be dis patched from New Orleans to New York, or Boston, or Philadelphia, loaded with quadroons or octoroons pulled from the pavements or bait matquei of the Crescent City what would be said of It or them? 'Such are the enormities of Southern Such are the representative women of the Vucb are the fruits of that wretched sla of society bich ripened and bore fruit in rebellion auaiiist the best Governineat as lat terly, in its beneficence, it has proved itself to be the world bas ever seen.

'How would the cry have been from every New England pulpit, echoed, too, mildly from Philadelphia 'how dare those Southern mu-fhants send to us tha refuse or the choii of their stews?" 'Wbat infamy it is for Scmthorn ships to carry, and Southern sailors to pilot, such cargoes of crime I' And had the vessel, thus Ircigh ted, perished in some Northern surge of Sandy Hook or lNantnsket, with her prow turned to New York or Boston, and bad poor, wretched Souther strumpets gone to their last account would not every Abolition sheet have been filled and every Abolition church resounded with invectives at tbe audacity which tuch a commercial adventure illustrated It seems, in its reality, an awful development ot the spirit ot our limes. Jhcre Is but one thing which accounts for it or makes It nat ura'. New Orleans, to which market this shipment was made, has since 1862 been hi tbe possession of New hnglaiiu adrentu rers. Butler was there, first; and, In his celebrated general orders, showed familiarity with the habits of the pave and 'the calling which there was Banks, another representative of Massachusetts' morality. succeeded ana every ouo knows wbat a reign of low debauchery was inaugurated.

John Covode was there, sitting in the dark shadow of the St. Charles, listening to the conversation or Lontederato gentlemen, and watching tbe Sow and renew of shameless- nets on the sidewalks. But, after a time and the return of what is called peace, the mar- ket or rather tbe supply of this sort of thing was exnaustea. remans, too, there was repugnance ou the part of the Southern women, however degraded, to Northern association which could not bs evercome and heme it became necessary to have a new importation, it Is not the first feminine export the North and Host hare made. A few years ago we read of a canro of Yankee wo men being sent to 'California and Oregon and a marriageable Fathers and mothers, without a pang, shipped off their daughters, utterly careless of their doom, and restless maidens were ready to go and exchange the dismal celibacy of a factory tile at borne for the eratic chances abroad.

And they did go, nnd they arrived safely. and me scattered somewhere on the fringes of tho West. Not so, alas 1 these poor uu-fbrtunates who were sent, not from pure homes and fires'des but from haunts where purity never dwells In the Northern Even ing Star. The wild hurricane off Trbee which swallowed them up in one 'vast and ondermg grave was hardly wild enough to drown the shriek which, In sgony, went np to Heaven and seemed to sayt 'What motive of greed could have tempted this experiment; why were we torn from our homes such as they were, to die at sea, and why should we poor wretched women bs made tne, victims or the mercenary spirit which takes witgcs and makes profits out of any Dkatu or Maj.

V. ns. THE COUNTRY PRESS. The following truthful article is taken from one of the ablest papers in tbe country Our duty is too often overlooked. Go Into one half of the houses of the country, and there will be found New York newspapers, and Philadelphia Magazines and foreign literature of every kind while newspapers Interested In advocating the Interests of the State, and their own country, not one can be found.

This is grossly unjust. If a man has fire dollars a year, ten cents a week to spend for information and literature for his family, his duty as citisen is to take hjs own State and comity -paper. Let him imagine, If he can, wbat his State would be without a mir within her borders, and then ask himself what he is doing for their sup port. But some excuse themselves for taking metropolitan paper, ou the ground that tbey contain mnr reading matter than those published at home. True enongh simply iur me reason mat tucy are Supported.

fc ery dollar sent to a foreign newspaper by citizen who takes no local paper, builds up uiai Foreign paper at the expense not on' of his own local psper, but the interests of uis own mate and county. We do not ask this for the local press as lunuer or cnarny. nut ol tu.t ce. A pnper ran do more good for a town than any town can do for a caper. But few annra- me local press as tney ought.

They overlook the fact that Its conductors are the most self-sacrificing men in tbe conn try. From one year end to another they devote their talents and energies to the building up oi meir localities, even to ine neglect of uieir own pecuniary interests. et the local press Is sneered at. and given the cold shoulder, forgotting that the little peotile is as necessary tor making the mountain as tbe bold or huge mass of granite. The local press holds as Important a position as me mi aoes to me river which goes ocennwora.

it is oaa policy to starve them to-death, as It would be lor the month of the stream to damn np the fountains from wbicn it obtains its supply. The interests of the city press and the local press are iodentical, and they should be tosterea alike, as each bas its work to per form in its peculiar province. The conduc tors of tbe country press may sometimes err' in judgment, or fail to carry out their plans to tbe fullest extent but the metro politan press Is open to the same charge. We repeat, that it is the first duty of every man a duty that is imperative to sustain his local press with a liberal hand, and not to let it languish for want of that support. GENERAL WADE HAMPTON.

In the course of a speech delivered at Walballa, 8.C, on the 32dult, the following remarks fell from the lips of General Wade Hampton It Is full time that some voice from tbe South should be raised to declare, that though conquered she is not humiliated; though she submits she is not degraded that she has not lost ber self-respect that she laid down her arms on honorable terms that sue nas oonei-veu these terms witn the niosi perfect faith, nnd that she has a right to de- niand a like observance of them ou the part of the North. In the annmolous condition in which we Are placed, it is a matter of great difficulty to mark out the proper course for us to pur sue but there are certain cardinal principles oi wnicn we snonia never lose sight. The first of these is that, as we accepted the terms offered us by the North in good faith. wears bound by every dictate of honor, to abide by tbem rully and honestly. They are none tbe less binding on us, because the dominant and unscrupulous party at the North refuses to accord to ns our just rights.

Iet us, at least, prove ourselves worthy of tue rigtits we claim let us set an example of good faith, and ws ran then appeal with better effect to tne Justice and magnanimity or me norm. Of all the inconsistencies of which the North has been guilty and their name is legion none is greater than that by which sue forced the Southern IStates, rigidl) excluding them from the Union, to ratify the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, whirb tbey could do legally only as ntstes oi the union. Hut tbe deed has been done, and I for one do honestly declare that I never wish to eo It revoked. Nor do believe that the people of the South would now remand the negro to slavery If they naa tue power to ao so unquestioned. Tobacco Its Manufacture.

la the city of Hamburg, Gurmany, the manufacture of tobacco gives employment to more tnin persons, turn out 150,000,000 cigars a ynar, valued at $2,000, 000. From Havana and Manilla Hamburg imports 18,000,000 cigars a year, making an aggregate, including its own production, of 168,000,000 cigars, 153,000,000 of which are exported, leaving 15,000,000 for borne consumption allowing 40,000 cigars a day for an adult male population of 45,000. In England, with a population of 21,000,000 in 1321, tue comumption or tobacco was 598,153 pounds, an average of 12 ounces per head for tbe entire population; in 1831, witn a population or 24,410,439, tbe con sumption reached 19,533,841 pouuds, or 13 ounces per head; in 1841, population consumption 22,309,360 pounds, or 131 ounces per bead and in 1851, popu lation 27,102,041, or IT ounces of tobacco per bead, snowing a steady In France, the consumption of tobacco is 181 ounces per bead, nearly half of which is snuffed; in Denmark, In 1848, it was TO ounces per bead and in Belgium it averages about 72 ounces per bead. A popular writer sets down tbe consump tion of tobacco by the whole human family. annually, at 2,000,000 tons, or 4,488,000,.

000 or 70 ounces per head; and he adds that 44 the annual tobacco crop of this world weigns as much as the wheat consumed by 10,000,000 of Englishmen, with a money value equal to all the wheat consumed in Great Britain. Next to the United Status, ths principal tobacco producing countries are some of the West India Islands, the States of Central and South America, Cuba, lluytt, Drain, In the Kast Indies, Ma nilla, Java, China, Asia Minor, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Hungary, and the Southern part ot- Russia. llelglum, the States of Germany, many of the departments of 1-ranee, Algeita.

In the production of wneai, next to corn, or the must important cereal, our agriculture has been unfortunate for the present year, now nearly complete. iua yieiu win not vary much Irom oue hun dred and forty-three million of bushels. euowing a small per rentage of decrease wnicn is rully compensated hy tha com para lively superior quality of thegraln. As waa predicted in previous number, this is 10,000,000 bushels more than the crop or 1859, and is within 5.000.000 bush els of a product in proportion so the Increas- ea population, lb diminution In tue South is more apparent.

The estimates point to less than 17.000.000 bushels in tbe eleven states heretofore unrepresented, a fraction less than fire-tenths ot the crop of 1859. ii le wormy or remark la connection with tha diminution of the three nasi season. that the wheat crop of Kngland has been likewise deficient since 1804. The Califor nia wheat crop, of which little note has been publicly made In connection with the pres ent crop, fa excessive. In i860 the produc tion ot tlnsyouna State was nearly 6.000.000 bushels.

Now it is claimed by the leading California Agriculturists that tbe surplus fur export will nearly double that quantity. lseviaeni mat me entire wheat crop win exeeea oy several minions tnat or 1850, when the yield was reported at 173,104,924 bushels. There were fire and a half bushels to each Individual. In 18M the estimates point to five bushels to each There is no ground then for apprehensions of scarcity and little excuse In tbe amount of tbe crop for starvation prices. The yield of oats is extraordinary and tbe qnality is excellent.

The Indications point to lncreasa from 171,492,072 ba.hels In 1859 to 271,912,693 bushels in 1866. It is the only crop In tbe South that maintains ao equality with iu last census exhibit. Hay in less quantity than in the previous year by one-tenth to two-tenths, but is better in quality. An analysis of the Southern re turns up to Oct. 1st docs not warrint re duction of the former cotton estimate much below 1,760,000 bales, though it Is too ear ly ior small estimates.

naehington, D. Ci Dear Sib I am aware that roil have lit tle time to read, much less to answer, letters relating to matters not connected with veur official duties, and I would not obtrude this upon you but from a sense of duty to one who has been my political light and euide for near forty years. But 4 will be as brief as possible. On Tuesday evening, Sept. 25, 180C, meeting of Republicans was held in this place, which was addressed by Hon.

John Hickman, who, after a few introductory re marks, said: "1 bis nation is ruled by two drunkards anu a lewd woman. Andy Johnson and W. H. Seward are both drunkards, and tbey are completely under the control of vile and vicious female who Iirs access to tbe White House by night and by day when good Un ion men are denied admittance, inbe wields the appointing aud pardoning power as she pleases. Johnson and Seward are always drunk, and she Is always bawd.

Tbe White House is a den or vice." Near the conclusion of his speech he used uie louowing language: ho originated the plot to assassinate Lincoln way never be known to a certainty. Men and a woman have been hung for it; but I tell you that Axonrw Jounson is base enough for anything. Yes, I repeat it An johmson is base enough fur The above was uttered in a ouhlic hall filled to its utmost capacity with ladies and gentlemen, and in a lone and manner calcu lated to make a deep Impression. After the meeting was over I asked Mr. Hickman if be bad proof for bis assertions relating to the lewd woman, kc.

He re plied that tbe proof was abundant I bsve conversed with many of the people who were present, and have found but very few who doubt the truth of Hickman's statements. They say "he would not dare to make sucb declarations if tbey were not true." A citizen of this nlnre who was at a Re- publican meeting in West Chester on Monday evening, Oct. 1, 1806, informs me that Hickman said to a very large gathering of me people mere: "Andy Johnson Instigated tbe murder of Lincoln; that he knew it," or woras 10 inai enect. Such is tbe style of electioneering now in vogue in these arts. as ever, yjur true frlenil, SUMNER STEBBIXS.
