THRILLING VERSES.

The circumstances which induced the wri-
ting of the following touching and thrilling
lines are as tollows:--A young lady of New
Yerk was in the habit of writing for the
Philadelphia Ledger on the subject of Tenn
perance. Her writing was so full of pathos,
and evinced such deep emotion of soul, that
friend of hers accused her of being maniac
on the subject of Temperance-w whereupon
she wrote the following lines:
Go feel what have felt,
Go bear what | have borne a. ...
Sink meath the blow father dealt
And the cold worlds proud scorn;
Then suffer on from year to year
Thy sole relief the scorching tear.
Aff
go kneel as have knelt
Implore, beseech and pray
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay,
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Thy prayers burlesqued, thy tears defed.
Go weep as have wept
Ger loved fathers fall
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned to gall
Life s fading flowers strewed all the way,
That brought the up to woman's day.

GENTLEMEN: In one Of recent series Of communica.
tons, published in the Union took occasion to refer
to denial, by a letter. writer from Washington, that
there were persons connected with the executive depart
ments acting as correspondents Tor distant newspapers
and gave the names OF several persons, who either
knew or had reason TO believe, engaged Among
the names given were the following:
"Aiesso Hauaman, Potomac, OF the Baltimore Pairl-
OF Lawren.on, (the Baltimore Suu's Mercury Harvey,
G indep pendent OF the Pniladclphia North American
81 f. Harvey" through card published in your pa
per- denies the position assigned him. gave his name
upon what presumed good authority, with view to
call proper attention to what believed gross evil and
in no spirit OF malice as he supposes. Though James
4. Harvey may not now be in government employ,
think shall in saying that he was once dismiss
ed from an executive department. under former admin
straion, for "letterwrting and hence, perhaps, IN
very extreme sensitiveness in the present instance.
Allow me, Messrs. Editors, to say thus much fo
James T. Harvey" and the numerous letter writer
scattered throughout the various executive departments

their utter destruction nation. he also expressed
his determination to do all in his power to put stop to
the hievng depredatons which had been committed BY

Capt Chapel OF the barque Mcclellan of this port, from
Davs's straits furnishes Information which will be read
with interest in the United States, and indeed in every
part Of the world About the LIST Of August. while the
bay, in lat A. lon ~, the natives of the coast
board the Chiefain, an English whaleman, and gave
information by signs that two large ships were then lying
in Prince Regents inlet and had been there fast in the
ice for four and being asked with regard to
those on board, whether they dead alive, they
replied in the same way, that the crews were not
considered by the Englishman and by Capt Chapa that
the ships Of Sir John Franklin were clearly meant
The Englshman landed at Cape Hay, some distance
which his ship was furnished by the British government,
for the use Of the long missing ships, i they should
chance TO come there as they would be obliged to do on
their return England This is certainly the latest
from that quarter, and there is possibility perhaps
probability that the commander OF the unfortunate expe
don and his crews are still alive. Heaven send that 1t
may be so
The Mcclellan and her gallant officers and have
reached home almost by mracleat any rate. have done
under circumstances that entities them to the highest
credit
On the i2h of June the baque got npped in the ice,
and only escaped destruction by the almost supehuman
exeions and good conduct of those who in charge

nearly all hands at the pumps, and by means OF two

by thrummed sails under the bow though she continued
to leak badly until her arrival at home and only kept
above the by continual and unceasing labor at the
pumps. till she reached the dock which, indeed, is still
obliged to be continued, she lies at the wharf Two
English ships, the SuDerior and Lady Jane, were both

of age.
Il is due to Captain Chapel, his gallant officers and
ships company, again say that their conduct in bring
ing home their vessel is deserving of more than common
praise and even with their exertons could not have
been done but for the staunch and enduring qualities OF
the ship The skill and perseverance OF the officers and
men were objects Of admiration to the Engishmen who
