Song Of the Betrothed.
BY MARION HARLAND.

Thy heart Is like the billowy tide
Of some impetuous river,
That, mighty in its power and pride,
Sweeps on and on forever,
The white foam is its battle crest,
As to the charge it rushes,
And from its vast and painting breast
A stormy shout up gushes.
~Fhrough all-o'er all-my Uay cleave
Each barrier crown bearing,
st Fame is the gucrdon of the brave,
And victory of the daringw
While mine is like the brooklet's flow,
Through peaceful valleys gliding,
Ver which the wilfow-boughs bend low,
+ The time wavelet hiding.
And, as It steals on calm and clear.
A little song tbs singing,
That yibrates soft upon the ear,
Like fairy vcspers ringing
"Lose me--loye mew IL murmurs DER

With ardent hopes aspiring,

The novelty and interest of this cxtraor
dinay publication may be judged from the
fact, that it is an undisguised revelation of
the Authors COurtship Of Miss Gamble, the
6 eat American heiress, and is full of the
most romantic and amusing scenes and in
cident, winding mp with the Authors deten-
ton in an Itaiian prison. The distinguish
ed persons, both of Europe and the United
States, who took part in this exciting and
mysterious drama, are all brought forward
with their private correspondence. The in
credible and piquent Developments of this
lively book must create deep sensation
and command an unprecedented sale. The
painful necessity of this expose will be nd
mitted by all, when they come to see that
both the British Government as well as the
heroine herself, have constantly refused to
repair the wrongs and injuries done to the
Author except by offers OF money, which he
repeatedly nd scornfully refused.

The Steamer Baltic arrived at New York on
Wednesday last, with one weeks later news from
Europe The news by this arrival is conilrma-
tory OF the successes which had been Obtained by
the allies before Seyasiop1l. bnt no decided blow
had been struck The battle which resulted in
the capture Of the Nlamel0n tower appears 10 have
been must sanguinary The guns OF the French
can now command the Russian ships in the harbor
of Sevasopul. Khc allied fleets in the sea OF
Azyfi had destroyed The stores at Paganrog Msri-
annpol and Genilsch and it is said that an eXpedl-
ton is now fitting out at Portsmouth to act against
Perekap. The evacuation Of the fortress of Anapa
has again brought the allies into connection with
the ClTcassans, though their alliance is not much
counted on.
The Fight before the Mamelon was Obstinate
but successful. The important point in the action
is said 10 be that the French from their new posi-
ton can reach the ships in the harbur Of Sevasto
mol. In reference to this battle the London Times
June says
Within an hour the Mamelon was in the pos
session of our gallant allics who pursued the Rus.

does not clearly explain whether the expression
| ..IVhite Works" used by Lord Raglan, applies
to the Malakoll' Tower or to the earihworks be
vond it. bnt there is reason TO believe that the
tower itself had been destroyed in great part BY
the previous bonbardment, and that the most i'm
p1r;ant part Of the position has been taken and is
held by the French. Having carried the Name

that the French pushed forward until they reach

important results Of the day. for it completes the
investment Of the south side of Sevastopol ant
brings the works of the bssiegers to the sea with
in the harbor, thereby enabling them to complete
the destruction of The Russian ships, and command
the passage of the great harhor.
The Grand Duke Constantine has been appoint

Tor tie Spectator.

.N.ssys. Ed.!ors:-The following is one among
the rich scehes often occurring with new sodieTs,
over which many of us have had 4 hearty laugh.
The subject-pour fellows under the sod:
Tie volunteers who went out to Mexico with
Captain Harper, from Augusta, were mountain
men, and had never felt the realities Of sea-sick-
ness, except By imagination drawn from the aw-
full tales Of mothers and anxious friends, probably
never having seen saltwater themselves, except
in the homely way Of pickles, beet brine, sc.
Now, it happened that one Of our men, though
keeping the thing ozark j" had become very much
fuddsd as to what sea.sickness was, and seemed
to have his IDEAS of all ships steamers, boats and
water-craft generally connected with the sea and
par consequence sea sickness.
The company was ordered TO join their reg-
ment at Richmond via Scottsvile and James
River Canal. We got to the canal boat about 9
O'Clock, P. NJ, and X, the subject Of this, i'm
mediately proceeded into the Cabin of the boat
and commenced game of "Old Sledge," "Pc-
kerr" or something else. The boat started
noiselessly, as all canal boats do, and no mo-
ton was perceptible to those inside the Cabin,
till passing one of the locks three miles below
Scottsyille, when KS. attention was arrested,
and he remarked
"Well, am glad this vessel has started at
last. thought they would keep US in Scostsville
all right"
why. X, we are several miles below Scots
vile. and that noise was occasioned by the boat
going through the lock-" remarked a comrade.
",Yhat the devil is a lock 20
ga place where the boats are let down some
several feet by means ola gate"
At this moment the boat shot outof the lower
lock gate with smart velocity, and poor K. jump
ed up and exclaimed, with most wo begone
| face
'.Boys am too sea sic'; to play any more
| One-half of us will die before we get to Rich
mond any how with it. and we onght not to be
playing cards in such dangerous places" And
| the poor fellow tnmbled down amongst host Of
others already covering the flor Of the Cabin. and
in few minutes forgot sea sickness in the sol
dier's only rest, sleep; for we had marched al
the two days from Stanton in the snow.
