THE SONG OF THE CAMP.
BY BATARD TAYLOR.

BAYARD TAYLOR.
HGive us song" the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent seoff,
Law, grim and threatening, under:
And the tawny mound of the MalakOG
No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pause The guardsrian said:
aWe storm the fort tomorrow:
Sing while may, another day
Win bring enough of sorrow."
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts, from Severn and from CLYDE,
And from the banks Of Shannon.
They sang of love and not of fame;
Forgot was Britains glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang "Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like anthem rich and strong
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
Yet, as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers check
Washed of the stains ofpowder.
Beyond the darkening occan burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again hell of fire,
Raned the Russian quarters,
With scream Of shot and burst of shell,
And believing of the mOrtars.
And Irish Nori's eyes are dim
For singer dumb and CORY:
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of "Annie Laurie"
All soldiersl tovour honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing;
The bravest are the tcnderest-
The loving the daring.
In order that the full force of tho poem may be appreci

the song of nne Laurie" is the song of British camp
that, wherever there is British regiment this SON
bears oil the gallant burden of the loving soldiers heart

it, we copy it, also:-
Marvellous banks are bonny
Where early falls the dew;
And twas there thar Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true
And ne'er forget will ],
But for bonny Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and die.
Her brow is like the snow-drift
Her throat is like the swan,
Her face is the fairest
As eer the shone on
And dark blue is her e'e,
And for bonnv Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and die
Like dew on the gowan living
Is the IA o her fairy feet,
And like winds in the summer signing
Her voice is low and sweet
And she Is a the world to me,
And for my bonny Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and die.

The whaling barque Maria, which re-
turned to this port on Sunday, from the
Pacific, is beyond question the Oldest vessel

memorable fact that she was the first ship

DREADFUL TRAGEDY.

The Rochester Union, of Thursday last,
says: The readers of the Union will re-
member that we published, few weeks
since, an account of the elopement of "a
married lady from Port Hope, c. w, with
young man. The guilty pair came to this
city, md were pursued by the injured hus-
band, who waited here, armed, and resolved
to shoot the Destroyer of his peace. After a
chase of some days between Port Hnpc>
Rochester, and Niagara, where tho parents
of the woman reside, the parties became
separated, and all became quiet. but the
husband only reserved his wrath for flu
ture occasion, rs we then predicted that no
would, and he's at length uccomPlised his
purpose, by Staying i'll cold blood the &C.
Queer of his wife.
The hush md is named George Brogdcn;
that of the seducer was Thomas Hender-
son. Both were young men, natives of
Port Hope, who have been educated and
rose to manhood together, and both en-
bracod the same profession, that of the law.
Since the intimacy of Henderson with Mrs.
Rrogden become known to Mr.. B., he had
devoted himself to revenge. The wife took
refuge at the residence of her parents at
Niagara, md Henderson cluded the pur-
suit of Brogden, and no doubt visited his
wife at her residence.
On Tuesday evening last, Henderson
came from Toronto to Port Hopo on tho
steamer Arabian, and it is asserted that he
was on his return from Niagara. Brogden
expected him, and repaired TO tho wharf,
armed with q loaded revolver. Soon after
the boat was made fast, Henderson went
into the bar-room of the boat, which was
on the side next to the deck. Just then ono
of the officers of steamer came to him and
told him that Brogden was on the wharf in
search of him. The warning came too late.
At the next instant Brogden fired upon
Henderson through the window of the boat.
Tho ball passed into the back, under tho
shoulder blade, through the heart and out
at the breast. Henderson fell cxclaiming
II am shot" and Immediately expired
Had not the ball been spentpassing through
the body of II Henderson, it would have doubt
less injured the friend who stood in front OF
him, and who was warning him of the pre-
sence of Rrogden.
The affair created intense sensation in
Port Hope, where both parties woro well
known and have respectable relatives re-
siding. A coroner's jury were engaged
yesterday in an investigation of the affair.
Brogdcn made no attempt to escape, but
appeared to be in a measure satisfied after
taking the life of the seduccr of his wifo
and the destroyer of his peace.

A RUSSIAN MISTRESS JEALOUS OF
HER SLAVE.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 2lst Of
July, gives the following illustration Of serf-
dom in Russia, as of recent occurrence:
Among tho serfs owned by widow Indy
was girl who had been brought up with
unusual indulgence, had received q superb
or education, ard acquired manners far
moro cultivated than belonged to her class,
to which advantages was added the natural
gift of an attractive person. At an early
age she was apprenticed at St. Petersburg
to q French dress maker, and having at-
tanned to some skill in the business, she was
after time offered profitable employment.
This her mistress permitted her to ac-
cept, on the usual payment of an obrok TO
herself in lieu of personal service. The
girl conducted herself well in her situation,
acquired a knowledge of the French lam
guage, and formed habits of considerable
refinement. Hero she attracted the notice
of an officer of the rank of colonel, who, in
due time, proved his attachment by offer
ing her marriage. The girl accepted the
proposal, and nothing remained but to alb
tain her freedom of her mistress. The pur-
chase money the colonel was willing to pay.
This ought to havo been regulated by tho
oLrok which the girl had paid, calculated at
so many years purchase. The officer,
however, was not disposed to cayil about
the price, but on applying to the mistress,
to whom lie unfortunately explained his
purpose, re received for answer, that on no
terms whatever should she einancipatc her
slave.
Every effort was used 10 shake the re-
solution, which appeared unaccountable
but argument, cntreaty,, md money were
alike unavaiing, aud tho lady remained
inexorable, giving in the end the clue to
her obstinncy by observing that she would
never see her serf take precedence of her,
a. she would do if married to colonel,
while she was herself but the widow of n
major, The match was necessarily broken
off, and the girls prospect of happiness
destroyed. To complete her misery, her
mistress revoked her leave of absence, and
ordered her Immediately to return to her
native village. Arrived in the village, the
unhappy girl. accustomed to habits and
comforts of civilized life, was clothed in the
coarse garments of an ordinary peasant,
and was forthwith ordered to marry q rough
n,oujk, of the same class Revolving at
this tyranny, and refusing TO obey. sIc was
fogged, and though she still resisted for
awhile, long continuance of cruel aud de-
grading treatment conquered her in tho
end, and she was forced to submit to tho
miserable lot entailed upon her by the
wrctched jealousIy of her beartlcss mis-
trass.

General gntrlligcntr.
Presbyterian Statistics.

The annual returns from our Church,
(says the Presbyterian as made up by the
Stated Clerk of the General Assembly,
which have now been extensively published,
present several points of interest. A COM
parison with the statistics of last year
shows that whilst in some respects there is
ground for encouragement, in others there
is reason for regret and humiliation. Com
pared with the preceding year, we find that
the number of fSynodS and Presbyteries re-
mains the same. We have AZ more can
didatcs than at that time, 3 more licencia-
tes, 50 more ministers, 81 more churches,
and 2,351 more commandments! There have
been 25 more licensurcs, IL more ordina-
tions, 35 more installations, II more pas
toral relations dissolved, more churches
organized, and 16 more ministers received
from other denominations than during the
preceding year; whilst the amount of money
contributed exceeds the sum in the report
for 1855 by $230,376. One very cheer
ing fact is the apparently increasing per-
manency of the pastoral relation, thore
having been an excess of 81 installations
over the number of pastoral relations dis
solved, whilst the report of the last year
shows an excess of only 7. On the other
hand, the number of commandments received
on examination is 763 less than the num-
Der reported last year, and those received
on certificate 120 less. Upon the whole,
these figures show that there has been
progress as to the general healthfulness
and soundness of the churches; but as re-
CARDS the enjoyment of spiritual blessings
and aggression on the kingdom of dark
ness, there is no special occasion for en-
couragement. Our attention, particularly
during the early part of the ecclesiastical
year, was frequently directed to the COM
paratively few revivals, and though more
happy state Of things afterwards appeared,
we are still not surprised to find that the
accessions from the world fall below what
has heretofore been reported. We trust
that this circumstance may make its ap-
propriate impression on the hearts of both
ministers and people, and that all may be-
stir themselves to pray and labor that the
next returns may present more cheering
results.
We have received a copy of the Minutes
of the New School General Assembly, but
after carefully examining it, have not been
able to find that it contains the usual Gen
eral Summary. Why it was omitted is not
explained. BY reference to the aggregate
tables, however, we have collected a few
of the items, which compared with the Old
School, are as follows:
