Dost thou never sigh for one,
Who would fondly seek to be
What the lost One was to thee?
When sad thoughts of the departed,
Of the loved the gentle-hearted,
Ache within thy lonely breast,
Robbing it perchance of rest,
Mid thy fearful solitude
Dost thou never wish removed,
Loves and Hopes and even Fears,
Sacred to thine earlier years?
Yet forgive not cen lightly
Would I touch wound, SO slightly
Healed as yet by gentle time,
Read not thus my timid rhyme.
But when warm and earnest tears
Spite thy manliness and years
Stand unchid upon thy cheek,
Let this gentle missive speak.
Let it tell of one whose gladness
1t would be to soothe thy Sadness
BY her cheerful love and truth
Giving back thy spirits youth.
All its earnestness of trust
Buried with her sleeping dust,
All the faith and love and care
She was wont of old to share?
Yet how wildly am dreaming !
Wherefore should / trust the cleaning,
Of a vision bright as this
Wing'd with such unreal bliss?
We are strangers ? never yet
Have our mutual glances met,
Ne'er one look or word of mine
Meet an answering one Of thine.
Yet dear Fancy sometimes traces
In its gallery of faces
Known and loved, an unknown smile
Yet half recognized the while.
And I turn away and weep
Wondering why those glances keep
Der my soul such nameless thrall
Till my tears forget to fall.
And my heart once more is gushing,
With tide of joy that rushing,
Warmly rushing thro' my soul,
Thrills each pulse beyond control.
Tell me--are those dear eyes thine,
That thus softly, on me shine,
Turning all Life's weary night
Ihto sunshine warmth and light
Oh I would we loved each other
If twere but as sister, brother!
But this world is wide, and each
Walks beyond the others reach.
Jsf- apart, yet severed not
Save by circumstance and lot
Oh -why should ralen less Fate
Make our paths so separate ?
But forgive this seeming boldness,
Answer not with scof1 or GOODNESS
Yet ne answer ca1 ! lain,
Since yoG know not G IN my name.
IT'S enough that yeu dO know,
How my heart will overflow
With gladness, pure sincere,
If your name but reach my ear.
But too soon this heartfelt gladness
Fades, and leaves me to my sadness,
And gloom DER spreads my brow,
Deep--like that which shades it now!
But once more forgive--forget
That thus blindly we have met;
Rlindlv. vet one heart as true.
Unknown, cherished Friend, adieu!

LATER FROM CHINA.

The ship Tartar arrived at San Fran
cisco on Saturday, bringing dates from
Shanghai to October 22d. The follow
ing is a summary of news, which We
copy from the North China Herald:
The rebels attacked the CITY of
Shanghai on the l4th October, and on
that day carried every thing before
them; and at the close of the first DAVIS
victory the Commander in Chief issued
a proclamation, in which he represented
to the Imperialists the certainty of their
destruction, and at the same time stim-
ulated his troops to renewed vigor and
determination to 90 on with the contest
50 gioriously co nmenced; and on the
18th be commenced an attack on their
outer fertilization, when the Imperial
lists were driven to their last strong held,
within the walls of the City.
al the close Of tn, second victory,
the Rebel Chief issued another procla-
nation. calling on the Imperial authori-
tbs to surrender, which they would not
DO, feeling themselves secure within the
walls, and the city well garrisoned
The insurgents made their final at
tack On the 18th ut, when they storm
ed the city and carried every thing be-
fore them.
-The Imperial authorities hal retired
from the city, and have since made cv-
cry effort, both 10y land and sea, to get
possession Of the t,wn; bat the insur-
gents still hold it firmly.
Ofcourse all foreign relations were
suspended for the time being, notwith-
standing the Impe.ial Government had
addressed letter to Fl. Z. VI. Consul,
Alcock, calling on him to still recognize
the Imperial authority, and protested a.
gainst any negotiations on his part with
the rebels. BY the tenor of bis reply
to the Imperial authorities, the great
question now is, whether the Imperial
Government has lcsi innate right to
claim duties wh re its authority has
ceased to exist, as the Emperor is
bound by their treaties to afford protec-
ton to British subjects and their prop
er'y, and which has been withdrawn.
The inperialists made one ineffcctu-
al attempt by water to take that portion
Of the city, where stands the Custom
house, and we finally ordered away by
the British Eigate Spartan, as great
damage was being done to foreign resi-
dents and their property, without show
oi success, on the part of the Emperor's
fore s.

Co'ty of ruolumne Dec. Term, 1858.
The Grand Jurors for the County
aforesaid, respectfully state to the Hon
orable Court Of Sessions, that serious
complaint has been made to them of
neglect of duty ON the part of County
Supervisors:
That in their opinion the Supervisors
have transcended their authority il gran
ting permission to certain persons to dig
up and materially injure the public Road
leading through jamestown.
That they have neglected to cause the
road leading through the town of Col
umbia, and other public roads to be kept
in COED order, and properly repaired,
and have neglected to cause guide-posts
to be. placed at the intersection of public
roads, as they are required by Law to do
The Grand Jurors are not disposed
to censure public Officers without just
and sufficient grounds, but from the
very many complaints it would seem
that there had been a dereliction Of du-
ty on the part Of the Supervisors.
The Jurors are ignorant of the course
pursued by former Grand Jurors with
regard to the duties Of Public Officers,
but conceive to be their duty to present
the above facts for the consideration of
your Honorable Court.
