The sunken City.
B0yard.

(BY PERCY BOYD. FROM THE GERMAN OF MULLER
The bells of evening, from the deep sea ringing
Peal faint and hollow their melodious chime
Strange tidings of a Wondrous City bringing,
Meath its waves whelIned in the olden time
And though the tide Of ocean, ever streaming,
Lashes the place Of that old city's grave,
Its golden battements are still seen cleaning
At evening, mirrOr'd in the lightest wave.
And once the boatman who has seen them glister
In the clear twilight, with enchanted ray,
Ho fingers, spell-bound, for those chimes tc
listen,
Though rocks rise, threatening, in his ocear
way.
Thus to the heart, like those sweet chimes
comes often
A strange, sad voice from memory's phantom
shore,
Ard hayward thoughts the dreamer's vision
soften
Oflove long VANISHED to return no more
The faded ruins of world once splendid,
Now deeply buried in the Past's dim sea,
With thoughts and hopes that long ago seemed
ended,
In dreams Of midnight rise again to me,
Beneath the rays which memory's light was
hinging.
long to vanish in those dim waves foam;
And angel voices, to my spirit singing,
Gail me to memory's Wonder City home.

EngIi.h Continental Colonies

There is no town of any mark in Eu-
rope but it has its little colony OF English
rafis-men whose names MIR. Hemp, the
officer. reads out periodically at the sheriff s
court--young gentlemen Of very good FAM
lily often, only that the latter disowns them;
frequenters of billiard.ro rooms and estamin-
cts, patrons of foreign races and gaming-t la
bles. They people the debtors prisons;
they drink and sNagger, they fight and
brawl; they run away without paying; they
have duels with French and German Off
GERS; they cheat MIR. Spooney at ecarte;
they get the money, and drive off to Baden
in magnificent britzkas; they try their in
lallible mahingale, and Turk about the ia
bles with empty pockets, shabby DULLES,
penniless bucks, until they can swindle a
Jew banker with sham bill Of exchange,
or find another Mr.. Spooney to rob. The
alterations Of splendor and misery which
these people undergo are very queer 20 view.
Their life must be one Of great excitement.
Becky (must it be ownedO took to this life,
and took to it not unkindly. She went
about from town to town among these Be-

She and Madame de Cruchecassee kept

was ordered out Of Munich: and my friend
Mr.. Frederic Pigeon AYERS that it was at
her house at Lausanne that he was hocussed
at supper, and lost eight hundred pounds to
Major Loder and the Honorable Mr.. Deu-

BY WALTER SAVAGE LANDoE.

And shall the bloody wave again,
Discovering freedoms bravest men,
Dash all ashore7 and civic fight
Demolish wrong, establish right?
Alas! it must be! Well for France,
Awakening from her frantic trance,
She finds at last virtuous man
To regulate her rushing van.
Never wilt thou, sage Cavaignae!
Pursue Ambitions tortuous track.
The shade of glory seems TO tend
That way, but melts before its end.
What name more glorious than was his
Whose life midway went all amissl
He ell surveyed the battle field,
But i'll what that soaked soil should yield.
Losing the train that limped behind,
lie lost all energy Of mind;
Like smitten viner, now aloOf
To bite, now crushed by heel or hoof.
Mindful Of Washington, who hurled
Back from the new the WORKOUT word,
Remember, First of Men! that thou
To thy own heart hast made the VOW
That France henceforward shall be free
Henceforward is her trust in thee.

Views of the War by an officer.

Maj. John p. Gaines of KY, who has seen
hard service during the War, has returned for
the purpose of taking his seat in Congress, to
which he was elected during his absence The
Cincinnati Atlas thus speaks of him:
Hon. John p. Gaines arrived at Covington,
KY, on Thursday, and was received with distin-
guished honor. large procession was formed
at the Kenton House, and moved thence to the
Methodist Church. Mr.. John w. Stevenson on
behalf of the citizens, then addressed Maj
Gaines, rendering him their congratulations and
cordial welcome on his return home
Mni. Games, after returning his heartfelt
thanks spoke about an hour and half, for the
most part presenting narrative Of his en-
trance into Mexico, the victories Of Gen. Scott
&c.
lie said very little of political matters. lure
gard to tic war, he removed the opinion de-
clarcd by him before he joined the army, that ii
was wrongully brought about by our Govern
mcnt, and he now added that the administration
were quite as censurablc for the manner of la
prosecution as for its unjust origin. The army
he knew from personal observation had suffered
for want OF provisions, munitions and mon, the
means of furnishing all which had been placed
in tie hands OF the President by Congress
Not only had the gallant soldiers suffered
ton Of the Executive, but the war had been ac-
lualIy prolonged and rendered much more bloody
and disastrous than it would otherwise have
been. Had the President employed the means
at his disposal in reinforcing Gen. Scott, the city
oil Mexico would have been captured earlier, and
IN his opinion, with far less loss Of life than
that actually incurred from the incfciency oil
the Administration.
In these opinions respecting the failure of the
Executive to furnish provisions, munitions, and
men to the army and The mournfu results OF
such neliciency, Major Gaines said every man
in the army, whatever his political predictions,
cmpha,cally concurreL with him.
lie avowed his intention to vote in Congress
the amplest supplies for the Army as long as the
war legally exists; but he also avowed with
great emphasis, his decisive determination to OPP
pose The annexation of any Mexican territory to
the United States, or the incorporation OF any por-
ton OF the people of Mexi.o with ours.
He remarked that he never found Mexican
in Mexico in favor Of peace with the United
States, and he had no hope of any treaty through
the instrunenaty of Mr.. Tlist.
