NEW pOEm nv WHITTIER,

IN REMEMBRANCE OF JOSEPH sTuRGE.
In the fair land O'erwatched by lschias mountains,
Across the charmed bay
Whose blue keep with Capris silver fountains,
Perpetual holiday.
A king lies dead, his wafer duly eaten,
His gold-bought masses given;
And Romes great altar smokes with gums TO swOaten
A name that stinks to Heaven.
And, while all Naples thrills with mute Thanksgiving
The court Of England's queen
For the dead monster 80 abhorod while living
In mourning garb Ia seen.
with true sorrow God rebukes that fsigning
By lone Edgbaston's side
Stands great city in the sty's sad raining,
Bare-headed and wet-eysd
Silent, for once, the restless hive of labor
Save the low funeral tread,
Or voice of craftsman Whispering TO his nsighbor
The good deeds Of the dead.
For him no minister's chant ofthe immortRls
Rose from the lips Of sin;
No mitcred priest swung back the heavenly portals
To let the white soul in.
Rut, Age and Sickness framed theIr fearful faces
In the low hovel's door,
And prayers went up from all the dark by-places
And Ghettos Of the poor.
The pallid toier and the negro chattle,
The vagrant of the street,
The human dice wherewith In games Of battle
The lords Of earth compete.
Touched with grief that needs no outward drApiux
All sweed the long lament,
ofgrateful hearts, instead Of marble, shaping
His viewlesH monument
For never yet, with ritual pomp and splendor,
In the long heretofore,
A heart more loyal warm and true and tonder
Has England's turf closed o'Or.
And, If there fell from out her grand old stoepcs
No crash of brazen wall
The woe of kndrods, tongues, and peoples
Swept In on every gale
1t came from Ilolsten's birchen-Oelted meadows
And from the tropc calns
oflndian islands in the sun-smit shadows
Ofoccidental palms,
From the locked roadstcads of the BOthnan peasants
And harbors OF the Finn,
Ehcru wars worn victims raw his gentle presence
Como sailing, Christ like, in,
To seek the lost, to build the old waste places,
To link the hostile shoreE
of,evering sea-, and sow with I7nrland's daisies
Tho of Findland's moors
Thanks for the good mans beautiful example,
Who in the vilest
Some sacred erypt or alter ofa templo

A New York correspondent Of the Balti-
more Patriot writes the following:
Mr.. Sickles is Stunned here BY his own
political associates. He walks Broadway,
and fastens upon every leading man to walk
with him. They cannot shake him off,
Sickles joined leading statesman in Broad
way, near Grace Church, one fine morning
last week, and walked by his side for about
two blocks, when the gentleman apologized
to Sickles for leaving him TO buy book in
a store. Sckles said he would wait Tho
gentleman went iGto the New York Hotel.
Sickles waited until he came out. It was
of no use. The gentleman stopped at
Stewards to buy pair Of gloves, and staid
purposely half an hour. II was Of no sue
cess. Sickles waited, and walked down
with the other to Wall street. His politi-
cal power has gone, and his sole aim now ia
to be recognized as Of old It won't do.--
His old friends do not wish to be seen with
him, or to endorse him in any way. Mr..
Sickles will never be heard of again. He
will attempt to claim his seat next Dccen-
Der, but even that will fail him. Facts are
against him. He was not fairly elected,
and Mr.. Williamson, his opponent will
claim aud get the seat.

A PestiIence breaking out from the Pu-
trifying COrpSess

A PestlIence Breaking out from the Pu-
trifying COrpses.
SoLFER1No, June 27.- Having surmount-
ed many difficulties on tho day after the
battle, arrived here with the object of in
specting the plain, now famous in the mill
tary annals of Italian Independence. Tho
thousands who fell on the memorable day
Of Friday last were not all buried, so that
could SEQ with my own eyes the dreadful
and heart-rending traces of that battle Of
giants. Many gallant fellows who are now
at rest, can yet be seen both here and at
San Martiuo, stripped naked, and waiting
their last receptacle, which the grave-dig-
gers arc preparing for them. The mum,
bers of bodies being so great, hundreds Of
peasants of Rivoltela, San Pietro, San Mar
tino, Solfernio, and Cavriana were enlisted
to perform that painful duty. The scene
presented by this nournful field is still
moro affecting than that Of Magenta. Not
only was the slaughter far greater, but the
intense heat of the season hascorrupted the
bodies to dreadful extent, and ali the no.
bic featares Of mems faces have been hide
ousIy decomposed by the process Of putre-
faction. AS you may easily imagine, the
stencil has polluted the air to such de-
gree that the surrounding villages are in
great danger Of typhus. Some cases ofthat
terrible disease have already been noticed
in the hospital of Castiglione delle Stiviere
and amongst the rural population of Pozzo-
lengo. The local and military authorities
have of course taken all necessary precau-
tions as for instance, that Of spreading great
quantities Of lime both over the ground
and within the graves, but they have yet
been unsuccessful in checking the pestilen-
tial eKhalations. The largest number Of
dead bodies still to be seen is at place
called San Martino, a strong position, whore
tho Austrians had entrenched themselves
during the night Of Thursday.

DEPTH OF UEpER-DRAINs.-In regard
to the depth of under-drains, John Johnston,
who has laid some 100000 tile on his farm
in Seneca county, says in the Boston Cul-
tiuator: "If practicable, drains should go
so deep that the water comes in at the sides,
instead of arising from the bottom Of the
ditch, and this l have found the case at
from two and half to three feet deep on
my farm, with very few exceptions. After
going deep enough to protect the tile (and
two and half feet is ample for that,) l
can see no reason for going down eighteen
inches into the hard-pan or stiff clay where
in there is no water; neither do think any
man can show good reason for so doing.
1t is true, if l did not find bottom imper-
vious to water at two and half feet, l
would go deeper, and find it if at all pOssi-
ble,"

Another man says Greeley was Hum
bugged.

We gave lately an extrvct from letter
from Tuscarawas Pixies Peaker, published
in the Aduoeats Of New Philadelphia, say
ing that the miners threw gold dust into
their pans when Greeley was at the mines,
and thus deceived him. A correspondent
of the Dayton Journal writes from DOnvor
City in June, and says:
After a nine days experience in Grcgo-
ry's mines, with fifteen others Of my party,
and having had Eve years experience in
the California mines, consider myself IS
fully qualified to judge Of their richness rs
Horace Greeley himself who, if report is
true, was the worst humbugged and salted
individual who has crossed the Missouri
River this spring--for the miners here
make no secret of it, that they humbugged
the old gentleman.

The Columbia South CGrolinian says
of the letter of Judge Douglas: "Had he
stopped at opposing the slave trade and a
congressional code for the territories, we
should have approved of the principles as.
serted therein; but when he goes on to as
sert the power of the people of the terrific
ries, legally to control, by which we under
stand him as meaning to prohibit or estab-
lish it, then we differ with him essentially.
He presents a programme to which the
South cannot and will not conform. Ifthat
be the condition Of the democratio harmo-
ny in the Charleston Convention, then the
party may be regarded as already dissolved" 1"

FoRGNING DEBToR.-There is a story
which has been often told Of Daniel Web
ster but which will bear repetition, how, af-
ter continued provocation, he wrote to the
editor of a newspaper, which referred to
his private affairs, and especially to his not
paying his debts. He said substantially
at is true that have not always paid my
debts punctually, and that owe money
One cause of this is, that have not pressed
those who owe me, for payment. As an
instance Of this I enclose your fathers
note, made to me thirty years ago, formon-
sy Tent him to educate his boys"

The ARTEsIAN WELL AT CoLuMDus.-
The Journal is much encouraged by pros
poets of yet getting water from the well now
being bored in the State House square,
The anger has struck the sandstone at the
depth of l,974 feet, and penetrated IA feet,
making the total depth Of the we'll ,9se.
The borings seem to wash away in some una
accountable manner, as the pump brings
nothing but clear water to the surface. If
there is strong subterranean stream, it is
expected to be reached before long, az il will
be foura in the sandstone strata. All hands
about the we'll are highly encouraged, de-
claring that the citizens Of Columbus will
wake up some fine morning and see col
umn Of water arising from the State yard
with force enough to wash the whole city
away.

The Columbus Journal Of the a5th says
that an unusual degree Of health is expert

ing from old chronic diseases.

The Brooklyn N. Y. Eagle relates this
chapter in romance of the day, which pos
sessos some features not set down in the
Sickles farcico tragico. 1t says;
A most extraordinary case is about to oc-
cupy the attention Of Judge Culver, invol-
wing circumstances nearer akin to romance
than plain naked truth, as developed by
the sffidavits which, as we are informed,
are now in progress of being submitted for
legal adjudication. Tho following are the
principle facts as set forth in tho document
alluded to: About five years ago there
came to reside in Brooklyn a lady Of re-
markably genteel and prepossessing ap-
pearance, who represented herself to be a
widow from the vicinity of Mobile, Ala, and
who evidently had means sufficiently ample
to enable her to occupy respectable social
position. She was accompanied by little
boy of seemingly mulatto or negro parent
age, then about threo years old, which she
invariably spoke of as being the only sur
viving child Of favorite servant Of her de-
ceased husband. In the course of time she
(being yet young and attractive) was "woo-
ed and won by gentleman who formerly
was engaged in mercantile pursuits in New
York, but who, becoming unfortunate in
business) is at present in the employ, as a
book-keeper, Of an eminent firm across the
river. The fruits Of this marriage are two
fair-headed children, and up to within re-
cent period, the parents have lived harmo-
niously and atfectionately together.
A sad blight has, however, overtakeu
their dream of happinessl On the morning
of the l4th inst, man of stalwart proper
tions and somewhat handsome presence
bit Of marked ebony hue-called at the
house of the party alluded to, accompanied
by two Now York lawyers, and demanded
| possession Of the apparently negro boy, al
leging himself to be the father of the pre-
tended slave child, and declaring that its
female custodian was its mother and his d.
vorced aOys. So startling disclosure has
Of course, created the utmost consternatior
and alarm among the friends Of those who
are most deeply Interested in unravellinq
the truth of this "strange eventful history
the lady stating in the most emphatic
manner, that the statements of her accus
ers are infamously false, and originate in 9
plot to destroy her peace. On the othe
hand, the alleged husband and father of tn
boy has sworn to the truth of his averment
and says that witnesses will be produce,
from st. Louis, Mo-, where he is well know
rs trader and propertyowner, to sustai
him in the proceedings which he has (onl
thus far partially instituted The lady
