T H ER E ’S A HOME FOR ALL.There’s a home for the poor on that beautiful
shore,W here lil'e and it.s sorrows are ended ;
A nd sweetly they’ll rest in that home o f the Llpst, B y the presence o f angels attended.
There’s a home for the sad, and their hearts will be glad,
W h en th ey’ve crossed over .Jordan so dreary; For bright is the dome o f that radiutit home,
Where softly reposes the weary.
There’s a home for the ill, and their bosoms shall thrill
W ith the rapture of healthful emotion ;Fur the invalid’s moan will never be known
In that world o f peaceful devotion.
There’s a home for the old, when time and its mold
The fair form o f beauty has faded ;And brightly they’ll bloom beyond the dark tomb,
Where the splendor o f youth’s never shaded.
There’s a home for the young, and a seraphic song
W ill the heavenly choir be s inging ;W hile the harps o f gold which never grow old,
Through the glittering arches are ringing.
There’s a home for the good, where none may intrude,
Or tempt them with evil or folly;T h ey ’ll calmly repose, freed from trials and woes.
In that place prepared for the holy.
There’s a home for the vile, all polluted witli gile, When th ey’re clenn.sed by the quick’ning spirit;
They too may be heir to that kingdom so fair,A nd all its full glory inherit.
There’s a home for us a l l } when tlie fiat doea
call,W e ’ll fly to the arms o f our Savi >ur;
And join in the song of that beautiful throng. A nd sing o f redeiiiption forever.

PUBLIC MEETING. !A portion o f the citizens o f Polk county, N. C.,
assembled at the Court House in Columbus, on Saturday the 9th o f March, 1861, when H. M. Earl was called to the Chair, and 0 . O. Green and P. S. Hunter were requested to act as Secretaries.
The object o f the meeting, as explained by Gen. W . F. Jones in an able address, was to express ■ our opinion on Federal affairs, as well as to express ! our disapprobation o f the conduct of men«bors o f , Congress who have been franking public documents of an incendiary character in our midst.
The following persons were appointed a committee to draft re.solntions, viz : A. J . Cansler, G. J . -Mills, Dr. C. King, F. A . Weaver, and L)r. J . G. Black.stock.
Whije the committee was absent, Dr. C. Mills entertained the meeting in one o f his ablest speeches, well adapted to the times. When Dr. Mills finished his speech, the committee, through their chairman, reported the following preamble and resolutions :
H7<ewi.s, W e have seen the Inaugural Address of Abe Lincoln, President o f the United States, and learn therefrom that he intends to carry out the principles adopted by the Convention that nouiiiiated him, which will be detrimental to our intere,sts aud honor ; and that we are heartily sorry to see members o f Congress from this and other States franking incendiary documents even to f r e e
v e t / r o e s amoung us, TherefureRcsolced, That we do solemnly disapprove of
the course of Abe Lincoln, as marked out in his Inaugural.
J i c s o h e d , That we will never take up arms against our Southern brethren.
Jiesolved, That we disdain the conduct o f John A. Gilmer o f this State, and Andy .Johnson of Tennessee, in franking documents to free negroes, and think them better suited to a Northern than a Southern clime.
UesofiH'd, That a committee be appointed to wait on the post master at tliis pl:ice, demand and obtain the docunjents in his office, and burn them in the public street.
Jir.<oh(d, That volunteor companies be raised in different portions ol the country, to defend our
homes.In obedience to the fouith resolution, the Chair
man appointed Dr. B. Jjankford, Maj. D. T. Sims, and Dr. J . G. Blackstock.
Ih'soh-ed, That the proceedings be published in the Asheville Xews, State .Journal, Banner and Democrat requested to copy.
II. M. E A R L , Ch’n.C. 0 G uf.kn , I ,, , •, , c- II r teecrttaries.P. S. IIUNTEU, jN. B. After the meeting aojonrned* the com
mittee waited on the postmaster and obtained from him a large package ol incendiary documents, and burned them publicly. Some o f those addressed to free negroes were kept for future reference.
F i r e . — W e regret to learn that on I'hul-sday night of last week the barn and stables o f Mr .Jamieson Cherry o f this District were destroyed by fire. A fine ujule and a quantity of fodder was also consumed. Owing to the scarcity of feed, at the present time, this loss will be severely felt.— Chesft r AStinidard.

SENATOR W IGPALL.A correspondent o f Harper’s Weekly gives the
following description o f Senator Wigfall:
Senator Wigfall of Texas, is a finished orator— probably the most charming in the Senate. Hia voice is clear, melodious, and sufficiently powerful to be beard everywhere. l i e speaks gramatieally, elegantly and without effort. H e never bawls. He never screams. His delivery is perfect, and his action suitable. W hen to these.merits 1 add that he is witty and smart, I have said all that can be said in his favor For he has the misfortune of being almost always illogical, incorrect, and oftea absurd. H e is a duelist, aud carries bis life in his hand. When he wa.n a young man, he went to practice law in Ashmore’s district, in hi? native State, South Carolina. He wrote articles for the
j county paper, and made enemies— one o f them j challenged him, they fought, aud Wigfall winged I his man. Another took up the cudgel, and was ‘ winged likewise. The leading mon o f the county I notified the young stranger that he did not suit
their temper, and must go. Wigfall replied that he preferred to stay. “ I will shoo^ a regiment o f you,” he said, “but I won’t go.” He shot eight altogether, 1 believe, including the late Preston S.
! Brook’s brother, who shot, him too; the two belligerents lay seven or eight weeks side by side, on their beds, in a tavern on an island in the Savannah rivet. The end o f the war was that Brooks died, and Wigfall, notwithstanding his bravado, left the State, and migrated lo Texas.
His reply to Wilkinson and Chandler was ex tremely smart. Mr Chandler had abused Gov. Floyd as a common th ief and scoundrel. Wiglall twitted him with offering insults for which ho would not respond in the field. “ I will make a bargain with the Senator,” he said. *Tf he will write a letter ( 0 Gov. Floyd, saying, ‘Gov. Floyd you are a scoundrel and 1 am a gentleman. ‘Heze- ktah’— no, I mean, ‘Jeremiah’— no, I beg parilon, ‘Zachariah Chandler,’ I will covenant that Gov. Floyd’s friends shall pay the whole amount which I'e is accused o f stealing fi-om the United States T r e a s u r y . ” The Northern trains had just arrived and the gallery was full o f northern spectators. Waving his hand gracefully to them, Wigfall continued: ‘‘The difficulty between you and us, gen tlemen, is, that you will not .send the right sort o f people here. W hy will you not send e i t h e r Christians o r gentlemen? Either people who will not insult us with gross words, or people who will admit their personal responsibility for their language?”
Co t t o n — I t has now become a fixed fact, says the Charleston Mercur}’, that the cotton crop o f 1S(>0-G1 will be neaily a million bales short, 'j'he crop will not reach to four millions o f bales. Galveston acknowledges that she will be 50 ,000 bales short; .Montgomery 40 ,000 bales; ('olur.ibus 40,- 000 bales. The total deficiency at the seaports, including the overland cotton from Memphi.'*, which is now put into the New Orleans receipts will, it is said, increase the deficiency.
T k x a s .— T he Legislature met on the 18th. The House and Senate took the oath o f allegiance to the Southeri Confederacy. A few members took it under protest.
( iov. Houston and Secretary o f State retired .-if’ter having surrendered the seal and arthives o f the State.
Houston has issued an appeal to the people, de nouncing the Convention.
Mu BiiECKi.NRiixiK.— Hon. J . C. Breckinridge
made a speech in the Senate last week on the
meaning o f Lincoln’s Inaugural Address.
Mr Breckinridge said that the President, in his inaugural, uses general terms of conciliation; but it becomes ua to inquire what kind of peace are we to have, and on what terms it can be maintained. He feared the policy which the President seetns projtcr to pursue nmst result in bhtodshed. He read froui the inaugural to show that Lincoln will hold the forts and other property in the Confederate States, etc., to the full extent o f his power. A modification o f this policy would occur only from inability to execute it. The Administration should addn.*.ss themselves to the issue. The only mode <iu earih to avoid a collision is for them, with or ’vitiioiit the advice and consent of the Senate, to remove all troops from within the borders of tho Confederate States. It would be a bold act, bu^ one of a patriot and statesman, which all good men will applaud and justify, and will be heralded from one end o f the country to the other as the truest policy to secure peace. If the President does this, opinions will be various; some may brand him as false and faltering, but the majority will dcclare him a patriot, who refused to bring on the country 4lie calamities of civil war. He said the border States would have their rights, or Kentucky would turn her face t twards her Southern sisters.
A C l? :e f o r S l i i t k k v S i d e w a l k s .— The"V Niagara (Jazetfe tells a story o f two young ladies

O p i n i o n o f t h e A t t o r .n e y - G e n e r a l .— The Attorney-General, it is understood, has given a written opinion to the President, that, under the 89th section o f the law o f 1799, it will be im- pos.*ible to collect any revenue in any o f the seceded States. That section declares that tho trial of any fact regarding a violation o f the revenue

As there are do U nited States Courts, Judges or Marshals in any of the porta o f the seceded States, there arc no means, under existing laws, of enforcing any penalties for violation o f the revenue, even i f it were practicable to appoint a collector to reside on shipboard, within four miles o f the port.

C o u l d n ’t d o i t .— An exchange paper tells a story o f a man in London who determined to spend all he made during the first year in advertising. H e soon found that it waa impossible, for the simple reason that the more he advertised, the more he made; and afler a strenuous effort to get rid o f hi« money in advertising, he had to give it up
