4 TRAGEDY; By RUEus DAwEs ESQ
WAsIIINGToN CITY, d. G..

We attended the Literary Conversations ON
Monday Evening, and listened to the exquisite
play OF Sir. Dawes. AS Mr.. ID. was but lately
connected with US i'll the Daily Wing, and is stiil
our intimate friend, we felt delicacy in noticing
his production until Others had passed their opin-
ions, lest our views should have been deemed
partial. The press generally have come out
warmly in his favor, and we can no longer omit
our verdict. 1t is highly poec-the characters
are powerfully drawn and maintaned-the plot is
engrosslng and the interest most thrilling. We
fully agree with the opinion of the Star given be-
low.
The NEW TRAGEDY.-The novelty of first
reading dramatic composition before an assem-
bly, OF critics ere it is presented to the public,
took place at literary Conversations last Mon
day evening in the New York University Among
those invited and present were the Mayor, Gene
rails Sandford and Morris, Messrs John O. Sar-
geant, Epes Sergeant, Paterson, S. J. Burr.
Greenville Mellen, F. Halleck, ]. and E.. Brooks,
jerks Smith, lnman, the Agaes, A. j. Davis.
Doctors Townsend, Francis, Doane &c. After
viewing the splendid folios and architectural
drawings, and preparing the mind for 'sa feast OF
soul" the company yielded the efforts of the
pencil, to listen to those of the more poetic pen.
Previous TO the reading, Mr.. George Jones briefly
stated the object OF first placing the tragedy before
so critical an audience, viz: .That if it did no,
receive their approval, the piece was unworthy
of generous public; and that if it should be
honored with their free appropriations he would
haye great pleasure in announcing the authors

member, inful communion, of the Congregational
church of Quincy. Henry Adams, my ancestor,
emigrated from England in 1854, and was one Of
the founders of this church in 1899. His son
Joseph, was long member Of the same church,
and died in 1894, aged 63. His son Joseph,
was also member, and died in 1899, aged 80.
His son John, my grandfather, was also'a mem
Der and deacon in this church, and died in 1850,
aged 6s years. My father was long member
and died, as you will remember, in 1926, at the
age Of 81. On my fathers decease, joined the
same church. had not joined before, as was
most of the time absent from home; but God has

BY the following article it will be perceived,
that the banks of nine States, including Virginia,
represented III the Convention at Philadelphia on
the 2lst instant have decided on the important
mesure OF resuming specie payments on the 18th
of August.
PHILADELPHIA BANK CONVENTION.
Agreeably to arrangements, the delegates from
Banks assembled Yesterday at noon, in the Hall
of the Pennsylvania Bank
John B. Morris, Esq. President of the Me-
chanics Bank Of Baltimore, was elected President
of the Convention, and Elihu Chauncey, Esq.
of this city, Secretary.
Banks from the following named States were
either represented by delegates or pledged them
selves by letters to abide the decision Of the Con-
vention:
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
PeRnsylvania, Delaware, Maryland
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri.
The following resolution was proposed and
adopted unanimously:
Resoired, That the Banks represented in this
Convention will resume specie payments on the
18th August next, and recommend that day for
the adoption of the Banks generally.
One or two representatives thought that the
ninth would he better day, though the avhu
was not stated. The THIRTEENTH day of August
is then fixed on as that for resuming specie paw
ments-the day designated by Governor Ritner in
his message. We congratulate our fellow citi-
zens upon this result, and hail it as the dawn of
"a new i'll business.

Passage through the Rocky Momntains.-
Inc journal OF an exploring tour through the
Rocky Mountains by the Rev. Samuel Parker,
gives the following curious account of broad
dehie through these mountains, which affords a
commodlous and easy passage from the country
lying east OF this great range to the territory OIL
the coast of the Pacific
.''Fhe passage through these mountains is in a
valley SO gradual in the ascent and descent that
| should not have known we were passing them,
had 1t not been that as we advanced the atmos-
phele gradually became cooler, and at length we
found the perpetual SHOWS upon our right hand
and upon our left elevated many thousand feet
above us-in some places ten thousand. The
highest parts OF these mountains are found by
measurement to be eighteen thousand feet above
the level Of the sea. This valley was moi dis
covered until some wears since.
"Mr. Hunt and his party, more than twenty
years ago, went near it, but did not find it,
though in search of some favorable passage. 1t
varies in width from five to twenty miles, and,
following its course. the distance through the
mountains is about eighty miles, or four days
journey. Though there are some elevations and
depresslons in this valley, yet comparatively
speaking it is level. There would be no diff
Guilty in the way of constructing a railroad from
the Atlantic to the Pacifc and probably the time
may not be very far distant when trips will be
made across the continent, as they have been
made to Niagara Falls, to see natures wonders.

the site of old Fort Schuyler, in this city, brass
button, of the size of half dollar, which, from
various inscriptions and devices upon it, appears
to have ornamented the dress of some staunch ad-

words "Long AUe the President" and surround

very neatly and distinctly made; and though no.
thing but button, it is an interesting memorial
of the olden time, which would be priced by any
collector of antiquities. Obsr.

-Thirty-four Of the State prisoners who have
confessed their guilt, and thrown themselves on
the mercy of the Government, will leave this
day in the William Nv. for Kingston. Seven
teen. .of them are sentenced to three years hard
labor in the penitentiary, at the end of which
term they are bound to expatriate themselves for
ever. The other seventeen are sent for safe
keeping in Fort Henry, such other place as
the commander of the forces may think proper,
till her Majesty's pleasure respecting them can
be known. The seventeen sentenced to hard
labor seem the most ignorant and misguided OF
the lot. Of course it is expected the sentence Of
the remainder will be more severe. Two were
discharged, yesterday pardoned, viz: W. G. Ed
monson, grandson of the late Col. Graham, and
Charler Low captain of rebels. Some strong
circumstances it is understood appeared in evi-
dence TO induce the Executive to extend pardon
to these men. About third of the number claim
to be Americans.

Terrific Erplosion.-The powder magazine
at plttsfeld, Massachusetts, which was situated
IN the middle OF the burying ground nearly in the
centre OF the village, was exploded on Thursday
week, at night. Nearly every building within
flye hundred yards was more or less injured. The
house OF Mr.. N. Strong, about FIVE rods from the
burylng ground, suffered damage to the amount
OF 5000. The large brick school house had its
sasnes' windows and doors driven in. The neigh

through the walls--stones of3OO lbs. weight were
carried rom hity to sixty yards. The churches,

CHILDHOOD.

Childhood is like the laughing hours
OF early spring
The very cloud that DER il lowers
charm can bring;
For, like an April sky,
A shower, sunny ray,
So the bright tear in childhood's eye
A smile can chase away.
But even whilst we gaze
Those early days are gone,
Ard soon the glowing rays
OF summer hasten on;
The bud hath opened to the flower,
The boy to manhood splnng,
And from his heart sins dArkening power
It's bitterness hath wrung.
He dreams that he can win from fame
An honored, deathless name;
And following glory's banners bright,
He finds an early grave;
But memory ensllrouds in night
The last hope OF the brave.
He is forgotten--o'er his bier
No natiou's tears are shed
Naught save widowed mothers tear,
Laments the hero dead.
The poet strikes his lnte--
Sweet thrill its golden strings;
But public praise is mute
His lay no rapture brings.
And monrnfnlly his heart
Echoes its tender tone,
His airy dreams depart,
His hope of fame has flown.
Like an expanded flower,
Whose leaves fall one by one,
Hope fades meath disappointment's power,
Till manhood's prime is gone.
And age like autumn, chill and sere,
Scattcrs each fading leaf,
Till not one flower remains 10 cheer @
The path ofllc so sadly drear,
And yet so brief
Till all the weary heart would crave
Is but rest from woes
The coming winter of the grave
Its snow around him throws
And ever thus, from youth to age,
Man treads his weary pilgrimage.
