Ap . strophe Of The soul.

Immortal spirit thou art like thy sirel
How swift thy thought, how t.reless thy wing
Earth is thy cradle, Heaven is thy home,---
Thou earnest forth from Cod 10 God
Shalt thou return. be thou like
The gentle Sayiorl Follow Him, for He
Shall lead thee to the realms of bliss.
Without Christ, OIL how empty is thy rowing.
Ia search Of happiness tho sendest forth thy thoughts
Beyond the ,ecy clouds On tireess wings they poise
Surveying all the lovely wales of earth
Then upward dart beyond the ambient earth.
Viewing revolving suns and rolling systems.
How STANCE, how glorious the sight
Now bursting on the view
Will ye reposo on some wild, blazing comet:
Your wings tire not, thoughts immortal and oaward
Ia the mighty space your pathway les
o could the Electric bird Of upper air
Behold the aight Of mind, rwold fold
Its flaming wing in deep ainazenentl-
The crystal drops Of mighty dew that rise
In misty Clouds meath the bright beam Of
Drawn BY sweet Natures law, return to earth.
But what attraction draws Thee hther
Thou restless, rowing one7 Thy ght was onward
Ii distance measureless, till some upspringing
Thought, recalled thee to thy earthly home.
Love whispered Of an act the hand might do;
And now thou oldest honleward full Of joy.
New songs are on thy lips % cheer
The dropping hearts; fresh garlands Of nsw thoughts
Thou brightest from thy dolly Fathers garden,
To crown the sentimental board, where bread
Oftfut1, and wine of 1--we invite the weary
Traveller. Remember Jesus, o bright SOUL
And spread the bang let oft. Call in th poor,
The MANNED, the blind; bring all the destitute;

Gods angels shall be there. and the Comforter
Shall fill thy breast with deep, andying j0yt

Eighth wisconsin-Col. Murphy.

The Badger State has done molly. One
Regiment was originally called by Presi,
dent Lincoln--two more were promptly
accepted while recently, five additional
Regiments have been rendered and received
by the Government We yesterday had
The pleasure Of meeting Colonel Robert G.

This Regiment is composed mostly of
Northwestern men, the St. Crcix valley
largely contributing twill occupy Camp
Randall, near Madison, Oh the first Of
August.
We congratulate its soldiery and the cit
liens Of Wisconsin, that Col. Murphy will
assume the command Of the Eighth Wis
consin Regiment. A native of Southern
Ohio. his education was partly at a military
school, and soon after reaching his MAORI

under ]. r. Bartlett, for the exploration and
designation of the Mexican boundary. Id
this seni-military service, he twice crossed

parties in situations Of great exposures
Gen. Burnside, then a Major OF Cavalry,
distinguished himself in tho service Of this
expedition.
Mr.. Murphy was four years United
States Consul at Shanghai, China, at a
period Of great responsibility. He was ac-
lually Governor OF the American popula-
ton of Northern China, and at one critical
period called upon Captain Kelley Of the
United States sloop Of war, Plymouth, for
aid in the capture Of five Chinese forts
which threatened injury to the American
quarter Of the city. These forts had been
erected BY the Inperialists for the defence
of Shanghai against the Chinese insurrec-
tionists; but their occupation became nee
essary for the protection Of the foreign res
idents. One hundred American marines
and two hundred English concurred in the
capture Of the FIVE forts, which was only
accomplished after a sharp engagement OF

The Case of Minister Harvey.

The Case of Minister IIar,7 ey.
The New York Tribune has the follow
ing as revealing the latest phase ofthe case
Of our Minister to Portugal:
GA Committee of Senators was selected
this morning, in caucus, to wait on the
President and request the recall of Jas. E.
Harvey from Portugal. An examination
Of the Geographic dispatches shows that
he cave his Charleston friend, Judge Ma
grath, a large amount Of explicit informa-
ton concerning the doings of our Govern
ment than had teen supposed. He even
informed the Judge Of the fluctuations OF
the Cabinet, from time to time, as they oc-
cured on the subject Of reinforcing Fort
Sumter. One telegram apprised that with
single exception all voted for evacuation;
another that the party in favor Of reinforc-
ing had grown in consequence Of the arri-
val Of certain New York politicians. Two
of the dispatches, as has already been sta
tel. were signed "A fliend," the other with
tie full siguiture Of the abettor Of treason.
Now that all the evidence has been placed
before the President, he cannot hesitate in
following the advice Of theexecutiye branch
of CongIess.

merely here, but everywhere in the Union
50 far as we can gather from our OCCASION
al glimpses ofoutside doings. His prompt
action in Missouri will probably save II
from going our Of the Union, ana conse-
quently an immense amount of blood-let-
ting. tie is man Of So or 40 years,
some 5 feet 3 inches high, and weighs per-
haps one hu 1red and forty to fifty pounds.
He is why Ii. 9,,ild, and tough looking 10
appearance. His hair is long and thick,
his whiskers bushy and heayy-hoth are
indescfibably sandy in hue. His eyes are
his most remarkable feature-either blue
or grey, at times perhaps both; a sort Of
stormy expression. which is heightened by
the wave like wrinkles around them, dwells
constantly in them, making him Look as If
something was constantly going wrong
or different from his wishes. His forehead
is high and Of even width, giving him
when uncovered an appearance Of great
intellectual force, which is aided by the
firm cut lines Of his mouth.
"When he first looks at you that stormy
expression sinks into bis eyes--the feshy
roll up beneath and around bis eyebrows,
and you think he is preparing to find sem
GUS tault-perhaps to get as mad as the
- at what you have to tell him. You
finish, the storm rolls of, and with an ab-
sent air he answers. The waves again roll
up when you commence to reply.
He smiles little or none is Il strict dsc:-
plinarian, has the full confidence Of his men
among whom, or at least among the regu-
lars, he is known as Daddy" A lot Of
regulars will be scuffling on their campus
somebody calls out Daddy is coming !"
and in an instant everything is quiet as a
meeting house.
He goes absently along, plucking bis
beard carelessy with one hand, stopping
here and there to give an order or two, or
to ask some question in harsh, authorize
tive voico, and is the sort Of man that a
man will stop to take good look at as he
passes. don't think he has anything like
physical fear--is all through 4 thorough
soldier, and will yet make his mark high in
the military world"
