MOVEMENT OF TRooPs. The New York Her
aid of yesterday says:
A Geographic despatch was received yester-
day from Washington, ordering companies A
and H, of the 4th regiment of Artillery, to be in
readiness to depart on some expedition imme-
diately, no one knows where. There is great
deal of mystery surrounding this movement,
but the general impression is, that they are
destined for Charleston harbor. The following
is list of the officers commanding the expedi-
ton: Captain j. B. McCown, commanding
Breyet Capt. g. w. Getty Brevet Capt R. R.
Drune, quartermaster; Lieut.. David N. Couch
receive sealed instructions on board of the trans
port, telling him the destination of the troops.
This is the first really secret expedition that

THE TRAGIC DRAMA.--We have long been
established in the opinion that the heroism in
spired by these representations in the minds Of
weak and ignorant youth is the cause Of most
Of the murders committed in this country. The
stage inculcates murder as honorable, or it
teaches nothing. Even in the best Of plays and
dramas, the murder of parsonage, unpopular
with the spectators, gives zest to the happy
denouement. Any one can discern in the
swagger Of this class of youths the mock he
roism of the stage.

Their sinews TO crush and kill,
And never word be sung or heard,
OF men who reap and till.

Who greet the young morn with toll;
Aud the burden give my earnest song,
Shall be this-the Kings OF the Soil.
Then sing for tho Kings who have no crown
But the blue sky y-o'er their head -
Never Sultan or Dey had such power as they
70 Withhold or offer bread.
Proud ships may hold both silver aud gold,
Tho wealth OF q distant strand;
But ships would rot and be valued not,
Were there none to till the land.
The widest heath, and the widest brake,
Are rich as the harvest fleet;
They gladden. the wild birds when they wake
And give them food TO cal;
And with willing hand, and spade and plow,
The giaddening hour shall come,
When that which is called the swaste land'now
Shall ring with the Harvest ilomc.'
Then sing for the Kings who have no crown,
But the blue sky DER their head
Never Sultan or Dey had such power as they
To withhold or offer bread.
