There has heen a variety OF occurrences
here since | last wrote 10 you. The war be-
tween the impefialisis and rebels has CON-
menced with fresh vigor. On the 3lst, OF
last months, the rebels. ten thousand strong,
all well armed and two thirds mounted, en-
camped within twenty miles Of the town Of
Rio Grained. II. was not known that HOSTILE
ties were even commenced until it was as
certained they were marching towards the
tswn, it being supposed that the idea oftaklng
Rio Grande was abandoned by them. The
news created a great deal Of alarm among the
Inhabitants. who were entirely unprepared for
it. Troops were Immediately stationed at their
old quarters about the town. numbering about
eight thousand, and more are expected from
Rio Janero daily.
No movement has taken place Of any ac-
count up to the present dale, except a fe"
skirmishes between the camps, OF no adyan-
tage to either pnrty. 1t - supposed fromthe
hardness Of the rebels that they are waiting
for reinforcements.

By FRANCIS BROWN.
The Pyihoncss is silent long
The Libyan deserts bear
No more the voice of Ammon's fount.
And Judah hath no seer;
But still the prophet words appear,
Though darklv, as the scrawl
The mystic hand al midnight traced
Upon the palace wall.
All, faint and fifhlly they come,
Like music lost in air.
Amid the passing Tide Of life,
With all its present care;
They whisper 10 our startled souls,
Ia murmurs deep and low,
And we hear item in tie outer world,
But know not whence they flow.
Are there no wave.bcru sounds that tell
Where wandering rivers wend
Do valleys hear no warning voice
When mountain Hoods descend
To speak the coming waves OF Time,
The onward flowing years,
And faint as echoes from afar,
These muTmurs reach our ears.
They teach US through the cloudy vale,
That covers all before
The sea that sleeps without a sail
The yel unirodden shore;
But tempests darkly brooding there,
Send forth their stormy breath,
Or dim our sunshine with the shades
OF destiny and death.
All. voices OF Futuritv.
Why is it that We bring
The rushing of the wintry blast,
Bat not the voice OF Spring
Perchauce 10 teach US that our course
Is DER the depths of Fear
Where Hope should east no anchor, for
The haven is not here.

" An aronaut named Schwarz has Just
made at Lyons, an experiment on new
system Of ascension. lie suspends himself
at tue bottom Of has Balloon by means OF
straps and chords, binding his body, legs,
and feet, IN manner similar 10 that used
by painters and other workmen, when em-
ployed on the outside of houses. His
weight is calculated at ? lbs. beyond the
ascending force OF the Balloon. To obtain
his buoyancy, he employs pair Of large
wings, made of light frame work, covered
with cloth, and which, when fixed To his
arms, have the appearance of two ancient
bucklers. These wings, whose ascending
power is equal TO Ia lbs, when once they
have raised the man and the Balloon, serve
to direct their movement To effect de-
scent, it is merely necessary to allow them
10 fall hy the side of the man, and his state
inreIation to the Balloon becomes the same
as when they started. On the l4th inst,

ratus TO the height Of about 40 yards, and

. The fact is, Jones, that the court did not
intend you TO be executed before next
spring, bat the weather is very cold our
lall, unfortunately, IS in very bad condl-
tion-much of the glass 10 the window Is
broken, the chmneys are in such dilapl-
dated state That no fire can be made 10
render Your apartments comfortable be-
sides, owing to the grea, number OF prs
oners, not more than one blanket can be
allowed to each--to sleep soundly and
comfortably therefore will be out of the
question. In consideration of these cir
cumstances, and wishing 10 lessen Your
sufferings as much as possible, the Court
in the exercise of its humanity and com
passion, do hereby order YOU TO be eSeca'
ted tomorrow morning, as soon aiieI
I breakfast as may be convenient 10 the
Sheriff and agreeable TO you"
