three she really appeared hut eighteen. Upon
impiiry as to the cause of so great a change,
she jdainly tedd them that she used the Cir

liugenon the Rhine.”
A soldier of the Legion lay dying in Algiers ;
There was a lack of woman’s nursing, there
was lack of woman’s tears ;
But a comrade stood beside him, while bis
life-bloo'l ebbed away.
And bent with pitying glances, to hear what
he might say.
The dying soldier faltered, as betook his com-
rad’s liatub
Aud he said, I nev'er more shall see my own.
my native laud;
Take a message and a token to some distant
friends of mine.
For I was born at Bingen, at Bingen on the
Rhine.
Tell my brothers aud companions, when they
meet and crowd around,
To hear my mournful story, iu the pleasant
vineyard ground.
That we fought the battle bravely, and when
the day was done,
Full many a corpse lay ghastly pale, beneath
the setting sun;
And ’midst the dead and dying, were some
grown old in wars,
The death-wounds on the gallant breasts, the
last of many scars •
And some were young, and suddenly beheld
life’s noon decline,
And one had come from Bingen, from Bingen
on the Rhine.
Ttllmy mother that her sons shall comfort
lifi \jXCl
And I was still a truant bird, that thought his
home a cage;
For my father was a soldier, aud as a child.
My lieart leaped forth to hear him tell of strug
gles fierce aud wild;
And when he died and left us to divide his
scanty hoard,
I let them take whate’erthey would, but kept
my father’s sword.
And with boyish love I hung it where the
j hriget light used to shine,
1 On the cottage wall at Bingen, calm Bingen
on the Rhine.
Tell my sister not to weep for me, aud sob
j with drooping head.
When the tro»i>s are marching home again
i with gay aud gallant tread ;
But to look upon them pruudly, with a calm
I and steadfast eye,
, For her brother was a soldier too, and not
j afraid to die ;
I Aud if a comrade seeks her love, I ash her in
I my name;
I To listen to him kindly without regret of
I shame;
: Aud to hang the old sword iu its place, (my
father’s sword and mine.)
For the honor of old Bingen, dear Bingen on
i the Rhine.
Ther’s another—not a sister—inthehapydays
gone hy,
Y'o!vd have known herhy the merriment that
sparkled in her eye,
Toe innocent for coquetry, too fond for idle
f corning,
0 Fiend ! I fear sometimes the lightest heart
riakes sometimes heaviest mourning,
Tel her the last night of my life (for, ere the
j^tx be risen.
My body will be out of pain, my soul be out
of prison)
I dreamed I stood with her, and saw the yel
low sunlight shine
On the vine-clad hills of Bingen, fair Bingen
on the Rhine.
I saw the blue Rhine sweep along • I heard, or
seemed to bear,
The German songs we used to sing, iu chorus
sweet and clear,
Aud down the pleasant river, and up the plea-
ant hill.
The echoing chorus sounded through the eve
ning calm and still;
And her glad blue eyes ivere on me, as we
passed with friendly talk,
Down many a path beloved of yore, and well-
remembered walk,
But her little hand lay lightly, confidingly in
mine—
But wa’ll meet no more at Bingen, loved Bin
gen on the i7uine.
His voice grew faint and hoarse, his grasp was
cliildish
His eyes put on a dying look, he sighed aud
ceased to speak;
His comrade heut to lift him, but the spark of
life had tied—
The soldier of the Legion in a fireign land was
dead!
And the k)ft moon rose up slowly, and calm
ly s’lie looked down.
On the red sand of the battle.field, with
hl'iody corpses strowu ;
Y^ea. calmly on that dreadful scene, her pale
light seemed to shine.
As 'it’diil in distant Bingen, fair Bingen on the
Jiiine. Mrs. Norton.
Letter from Oov- Orr.
Gov. Orr has addressed a letter to Pre
sident Johnson, asking him to revoke
(general Claiiby’s recent order on the sub
ject of Juries, lie says:
“To show tlie ruiiioa.s results, however,
that wili follow from this order, if it is al
lowed to he executed, I beg leave to cal!
your attention to the matter of registra
tion in this State.
^liere are white majorities in but six
districts. In two districts the numbers are
al.oit equal. In each of the remaining
tw(ntv-three distiicts of the State—there
«/
bfiiig ahogether thirty-one—the registra
tion shows a colored majority. In G’harles-
ton the colored majority is 1,812, the re-
gisTred whites being 3,286, and the blacks
5,(08. Of tlie whites 118 were unable to
siga their names; of the colored, 2,806.—
In ( liarleston and Columbia,alarger num
ber of the latter class of persons can read
and write, than in any other portion of the
Slate ; a very much larger number, be
cause they have had facilities before and
since emancipation of obtaining some edu
cation not enjoyed by their class in all the
rural region of the 8tate, to which I shall
advert more particularly hereafter. In or
ganizing a jury in Charleston, therefore,
assuming that all have paid their taxes,
this proportion would give nearly eight
colored jurors to four whites, and five of
these eight would not be able to sign their
names. In Beaufort, Georgetown, Colle
ton, Berkley, and other districts, the show
ing IB CVt-Ll .TUFIOV. T'.-.l.l-.l
Beaufort indicate that there are 2,550 col
ored, aud but sixty-five wiiit'3 voters regis
tered. This proportion would furnish but
one white man to every fourth jury. Of
the colored voters registered in the rural
districts I estimate that not more than five
per cent, of the whoic number are able to
read and write, and very many of them
have not intelligence enough to count one
hundred. In Georgetown district thruT
are 418 whites and 4,413 colored voter.s
registered. One white man might per
chance be drawn upon each jury, and in
all probahUity not one of the remaining
even colored men would he able to read
and write.
To sum up theie will be in twenly-thi LP
districts ot this State a majertty of colored
jurors for the trial of all classes ot cases,
civil and criminal, and only five per cent,
of their number will be able to write. Does
auy country which has established the
l ight of trial by jury, fail, hy its legisla
tion, to secure a proper degree of intelli-
gtuce amor.!! the jurors .? These rules, if
ajplied to the'State courts, will, I pre
sume, be likewise applied to the Fedmal
Court; aud the proportion upon such Fed
eral juries will be—in Cliarh Eton, e'g'it
colored to four whites, in Columbia, nine
colored to three whites, and in Greenville,
eight white to four colored jurors. These
are the three points w’here the U. States
Court sits in South Carolina.
Can these colored people discharge the
duties of jurors either to the United States,
or to the State, to the litigants or to pub
lic justice? With such instruments, will
not the effort to administer justice be a
mockery ? Now, if the order had provi
ded that no person shall be allowed to sit
upon a jury who is unable to read or write,
or if a property qxialification had ben an
nexed, or if In cases, civil or criminal, in
wdiich colored persons maybe interested,a
certain proportion of the jury should con
sist of their owm color, it might not have
been objected to seriously ; but in its pre
sent bearings the order is to lead to results
which must universally be deplored by
those who desire to see even and cx.act
justice meted out to all men. Nearly all
of the litigation, certainly all of the impor
tant litigation, on the civil side of the
court, is betw'een avhite citizens, and in
volves intricate issues of law' and fact, as
w'cll as sum.s great and small. What pro- j
tection can the w'hite, or even the colored
man himself, have, if his case is to he de
cided by a jury made up of persoins jios-
sessing so little intelligence that they are
unable to read, write or cipher? With
what satisfaction would a X’^orthern claim
ant regard adverse decision made by a
jury, a majority of whom xvere colored,
when the same case measured by intelli
gence and submitted to the judgment of
men of exp(“rieuce and education, would
perhaps, have been decided in his favor ?
Suppose that h(^ is a patentee ivhose rights
have been infringed, and ivhose interests
—involved to the amount of half a million
of dollars—are dependent upon the keen
discrimination or an intelligent jury called
upon to determine some material difi’erence
between machinery or processes of manu
facture ; is it not preposterous to suppose
that a colored juiy, constituted as I have
described, possess the requisite qualifica
tions to render a just and Intelligent ver
dict ? Y’^et this is but one of the many
classes of cases, which the Northern as
well as the Southern man wdll be compell
ed to take judgment of the ignorant and
unwise juroi's created by order No. 80.”
In view' of all these circumstances, there
fore, I beg leave most earnestly to protest
against its execution, aud to ask that it
may be ordered to be entirely revoked, or
suspended until after the close of the
fall terms of tliis State. Y'our early atten
tion to this matter is respectfully invoked,
inasmuch as I desire to communicate the
result of this application to the judges pri
or to the commencement of their respec
tive terms. I have the honor to be, your

It soon appeared that if mad, there w’aa

to Rome, renounced his church and office
and received absolutiou from his holiuewa

Bishop lv(‘3 fell a victim to the conta
gion—an impracticable idea, the Union of
tlie Church of Eiiglaiul and its branches
with the Roman Church. The project
was and is noble, lofty, but utterly vis

by charity to abnormal fervor.

EMIGRANTS ARRi V ED, AND MORE
TO COME.
We 5vcrc pleased to see in our streets a
few days ago a family of Swiss emigrants,
who had been induced to come to this coun
try by a very wealthy and intelligent gen
tleman from that country who has been so
journing among ub for eomo -moiitliB.—
These emigrants are of the right sort. They
are not picked up promisculously, but
come among us endorsed as intelligent and
respectable farmers, and by a proper en
couragement from our people, may be made
to form a nucleus around which thousands
of similar people would undoubtedly gath
er in a very short time. Even now, thirty
other families are aw'aiting the report of
those now here, and if the report is favor
able, a tide of immigration will set in to
wards this section.
We were in Wisconsin w'hen the tide of
immigration set in, hy this very class of
people, to that Territory, and we know
something of their character and Avants.
Al first a few families landed at Milwau-
kic, and finding government lands could
be bought clicap, tln^y sent to their Fath
erland and had a colony formed. The col
ony purchased Avhole townships at once,
and in one year from that time not less
than twenty tlioiisand iSwi.ss and German
emigrants Avcrc domicilea in three or four
counties. Speculators saw the opportuni
ty and purchased large tracts of land in
other parts of the State, cut them np into
small farms of from 50 to 100 acres, and
offered to give a title in fee sirajile, to each
alternate farm, to any family avIio would
settle on it for five years. These farms
were all soon occupied, and at the expira
tion of five years the unoccupied farms
had enhanced in value from five to twenty
times tlie original cost AVc kiiOAv one man
