NORFOLK VIRGINIAN.
THURSDAY MORNING............OCT. 10. 1867

For the Norfolk Virginian ]
MY LOVE.
BY M. E. M.
[This exquisite poem is one from which a painter might draw inspiration to make an immortal picture.—ED VIRGINIAN.]

'Twas noon, and the bell of the convent,
Rang out the call to prayer.
And the nuns, in a long procession,
Came into the chapel fair.
They knelt before the Madonna,
Down on the marble floor,
some with their frozen faces,
Grey as the robes they wore.

Some who had left the sunshine,
So little while ago,
That the shade of the cloister on them
Had scarce had time to grow.
Maidens with lips like rosebuds,
and lovely dreamful eyes,
That might almost tempt the seraphs,
From their worship in the skies.

I heard the murmuring Aves,
And the swell of the sweet old hymn,
And I saw the face of an angel,
And then all else grew dim.
So near, I could touch her garments,
So far As heaven above,
Telling her rosary over,
I saw the woman I love.

Lips once warm with my kisses,
Trembling along the prayer,
Face like a saint's or martyr's,
Eyes full of deep despair.
Was it for this, I wonder,
The sea gave up its dead?
And fate, from the kind waves tore me,
To break my heart instead!

What have they done, my darling,
With your wealth of golden hair?
Where have they hid the roses,
and left you lily fair?
Here's one, would lower the convent,
For a single sunny strand,
For a blush of the by-gone hours,
For a touch of the slender hand.

You knew all the mournful story,
"Ship-wrecked; not one to survive,"
I'd gone to the grave before you,
You buried yourself alive;
Never the wife of a mortal,
Only the bride of heaven—
If, Lord, it is sin to be jealous,
At last, may I be forgiven.

Sweet saint! I'll at least be faithful;
No more in the mazy dance,
Where once we floated together,
I'll float, in a happy trance.
No smiles of others shall win me,
While she, the woman I love,
Is telling her rosary over,
With sad eyes lifted above.

In the shade of the dim old cloister,
In the hush of the prayer at noon,
A novice, o'ercome by vigils,
Fell into a death-like swoon.
Her wan, white face, as they bore her,
Out through the chapel door,
In the spell of its ashen silence,
Was grey as the robe she wore.

The President has not yet fully considered the application for pardon of Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia. The papers are now on file at the Executive Mansion, and will be again taken up by the President this week. Stephens is strongly recommended for executive clemency, and there seems to be no doubt but that a pardon will be issued.

Walter Brown has written a crowing letter, offering to row the Canadian champion, Tinning, at Portland or Toronto, and a blackguard letter refusing to row Jackson at Pittsburg.

Postmaster-General Randall left Washington Monday evening for New York

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES.
[REPORTED FOR THE NORFOLK VIRGINIAN BY THE WESTERN UNION LINE.]

Pennsylvania Election.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9th.—Thirty-five counties heard from, give the Democrats a majority of 6,586. Half the State unheard from.

Corrected returns give the Republican majorities: Chester, 2,000; Susquehanna, 2,500; Bucks, 650. Woodward, Democrat, for vacancy, probably elected, He runs 700 behind the tickets in Luserne. The Republicans claim Ohio by 5,000 majority. Have nothing decisive.

Ohio Election.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 9th.—In Hamilton county, he Republican ticket is elected by 1,500 majority. Against amendment 5,000. The Commercial's dispatches show such large Democratic gains as to leave the State ticket in doubt, which makes the legislature very doubtful.

Twenty-six counties, not including Hamilton, lack 790 of the average gain necessary to carry the State for the Democrats.

CINCINNATI, October 9.—Carey's majority is 994; the Republicans lose 2,809. the amendment is defeated by 5,000 in Hamilton county.

CLEVELAND. October 9.—The Leader concedes Thurman's election by 5,000 majority. The Columbus Journal, on the other hand, maintains that the Republicans have a small majority in the House, but says the Senate is Democratic in one majority.

Washington News.
The Cincinnati Gazette and Commercial both telegraph here that negro suffrage is defeated by 50,000 majority. They say the Legislature is Democratic and claim that Hays is elected by 3,550.

Private dispatches make Thurman's election highly probable.

No figures from Iowa yet.

Woodward, Democrat, is elected from the 12th Pennsylvania district. Democratic majority in the State is about 9,000.

Gen. Sherman and Gov. Parsons, of Alabama, were with the President today.

The Customs authorities of Cuba have issued an order to the effect that goods must not be manifested to order when shipped to that island
