Where our, treasure ja i there will our
heart be also. Oar treasure is in the
rich wealth of songtiny in bulk, but
costly and precious as the Koh-inoor
' .which the sad but great South Caro
linian has left us. May not our love
for the mau , and the , man's noble,
. generous and lofty thoughts tinge our
criticism and impart to our estimate
j-'l f mteyeteesii not cppipaib with
the true , offices of the journalistic
critic ? We confess io an unbounded
admiration for our subject, baV some
of his admirers who have been bold
est in sounding his praises have not
been moved T)y:aV least4 one1 of. the
' motives ; that' prompt :?trsv Nbrthern
critics assuredly cannot be accused of
undue partiality for Southern poets
and poetry. 'Many of them, however,'
have been prompt and generous in
commendation of the little .volume
recently issued by the Messrs. Hale.'
Henry Timrod was born in Charles
ton on the 9th of December, 1829,
andwtts the grandson ; of a "German,
. his grandmother being a Scotch-Irish
lady. Ilia , father before him. was a
poet. - The- days vof - young Timrod
were not always illumed with sun
shine. He married, the war came on,
poverty cramped his fine abilities and
shadowed his splendid life. His mar
riage was happy. The life of the poet
in his last years was a terrible wrestle
with grim arid gaunt poverty. He
frequently stood in want for the ab
solute necessities of life. He died in
1867.' The ills he enduredgave a
melancholy cast to much of what he
wrote, though the tenor of his poetry
is healthful and sprightly.
"Henry Timrod is the poet of the
South and one of the two or three
eminent poets the country has pro
duced. We are not sure he has writ
ten anything that will not compare
favorably with Bryant and Poe at
their best. Like Gray, whom in. some
respects he resembles, he wrote but
little, but that little was poetry. In
his lyrics there is little if any of the
dariDg sweep of the Pindaric poets,
Gray and Collins, and less of the sen
suous cadence of the Dryden school or
the coldly sweet didacticism of Pope
and Wordsworth. There is the
very soul of tenderness in many
of his shorter effusions, and in
a few we are shown the high
est part of the poetic mission. Ilia
. war songs are stirring and impassion
ed,, but - even in these, his emotions
never assume the shape of fever or
delirium. He is always the cultured
man of thought, self poised, equable,
calmly reliant on his. powers of mind
more than .on, his powers, of feeling.
Throughout the small , volume he has
left as a priceless legacy, we are struck
forcibly with , this fact. It is this
doubtless that so warmly commends
his genius to the Northern critics.
The most ambitious, because
longest and seemingly most elaborate
poem in the collection, is"The
Vision of Poesy in which the mis-
sion of the poet is brilliantly and
vividly, described by the Angel of
'Poesy; . . .. , ,
" A fair and stately shape .. which seems
BrigM wim all truth."
This piem is as gracef ul and pretty,
if less luxuriantly begemmed with
word-jewels, as any we find in Keats
and Shelley. We have room oniy for
one extract: . , :
"And high, and hushed arose the stately
trees,. . . : v . ,:
Yet shot within themselves, like dungeons
Lar fettered all the secrets of the breeze.
". Silent, but; noji m jtfamjteflng;. all things
mere
; Wore to theouth's aroused imagination
An air of deep and solemn expectation."

So many hints come to me, but, alas!
I canno grasp, the shadpws.aft they pass."

volume, the sweetest, smoothest, most

Mr. W. P. "Welch, of Haywood, has ini
troduced in the Senate a bill concerning the
debt of the State and has made au elaborate
speech thereon ' TThis, bill'- authorizes .th4
Governor to appoint three discreet and able
persons as Commissioners on the part of
the State, -whose duty it shall be to ascertain
aqd estimate the State's interest in Railroads
and other public Improvements; to ascertain .
the debt contracted anterior to the war, as
well as the amount actually .expended for
the legitimate purposes forf which appropri
ations were made of the bonds issued from
the Public Treasury during and since the
war. That after this shall have been ascer
tained, the said Commissioners be empow
ered to assign all interest . which - the State
may have, in said public improvements to
the parties holding such legitimate claims,
lu tucfi proportion ast& aggregate interest
of the State in such Improvements bears to
the ""aggregate claims against the State, and
that the State protest against any other com
promise. . This is a proposition to turn oyer
the public property of the State to the credi
tors as far as it will gojbowards liquidating
our honest jnaeDteapessv The bill was re
ferred to the committee on the public debt
. iThe Baltimore iSatette in alluding to the
rumor that the great outlaw is now'in New
York says that if the spirit of Henry .Berry
Lowrey is anywhere on earth, it is safe to
predict that it is in New York, and finds it
very , comfortable there. North Carolina
offered nothing but a life in the swamp,
money acquired by .brutal and unscientific
murder, and a dog's death and a dog's
burial at last New York offers yall street,

Last Monday in the House of Kepresent-
atives Mr. Cox, of New 1 ork, presented a
memorial from New York artists, with this
caption : "Memorial for the purpose of estab
lishing a gallery of the nne arts for the promotion-
of art in America, for the purpose
of calling into practical usefulness all the
artistic octivitives and taleriV in the' nation,
and to establish a national ait academy,
by which the genius of the people may be

ly worthy of the consideration of .Congress

During the war a cotton dealer of Savan
nah named McDaniel purchased, a large
amount of the staple and stored it, but
when Savannah was taken it fell into North
ern hands. The man died. From af
fluence his widow was compelled to earn a
livelihood with her needle. She went to
Atlanta. By advice she was induced to
put io a claim at Washington for the cotton
belonging to her husband. The services of
lawyers at the .seat of government were pro
cured to prosecute' the claim. Her claim
was acknowledged and now she has $95,000
in cool cash for all her weary watching, pa
tience and womanlv worth. '
