NOT YET.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Oh country, marvel of the earth
Oh realm to sudden greatness grown!
The age that gloried in thy birth,
Shall it behold thee overthrown!
Shall traitors iay that grrettncss low!
No, Land OF Hope and Blessing, No!
And VIC hear thy glorious name,
Shall we, like cravens, stand apart
When those whom thou hast trusted aim
The dcath-blow ut thy generous hearth
Forth goes the battle-cry, and 10!
Hosts rise in harness, shouting No!
And they who founded, in our land,
The power that rules from sea to sea,
Bled they I'm vain, or vainly planned
To leave their country great and frcef
Their sleeping ashes from below,
Send up the thrilling murmur, Mol
Knit they the gentle ties which long
The sister States were proud to wear,
And forged the kindly links SO strong
For idle hands in sport to tear
For scornful hands aside to throw
No, by our fathers memory, mol
Our humming marts, our iron WAYS.
Our wind-tossed woods on mountain crest
The hoarse Atlantic with his bays
The calm, broad Ocean of the West,
And Mississi2pi's torrent flow
And loud Niagara, answered No!
Not yet the hour is nigh, when they
Who deep in Elds dim twilight sit.
EIrth's ancient kings shall rise and saw,
" Proud country, welcome TO the pit
So soon art thou, like us. brought low !"
No, sullen group of shadows, No!
For now, behold, the arm that garo
The victory in our iathcr's day,
Strong, as OF old, to guard and save
That mighty arm which none can stay
On clouds above, and fields below.
Writes Ill mems sight, the answer, No!

for the whole class of diseases Orig tnat-
Ing in hillary arrangements, caused by
the Malaria OF Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while il cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CuRR" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEVER
AND AGyE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, il taken on the first ap
proaeh Of its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
Of complaints, hut also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings il within the
reach of every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuR prevails, every body should
have it and use il freely both for cure and protee-
ton. great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure OF Intermittents is that il contains no Quniue
or mineral consequently it produces no qainism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miaSmatie poison. A great variety Of dsor-
ders arise from its irritation, among Which are
NcRakgia, Rhaisa,atisna, Go,a, Headache, Bind

Death-bed Of a Ballet Girl.

Those who suppose that the thcatri-
cal profession is inconsistent with fer
vent piety, will be undeccived by the
following account Of the death Of Han
nah Gale, one Of the unfortunate bal
let girls who was recently burned to
death in Philadelphia. She was one
of several sisters, young ladies' of
prepossessing appearance and excel
lent dancers. They were English by
birth, and FIRST appeared professional
ly in Philadelphia in the Ronzani
troupe /:
Hannah Gale had lain at Grcar's
saloon. Soon after she was brought
there her pain ceased-the result Of
inward modification. She was entire
ly tranquil, and calmly asked those
present to read the Bible to her. An
intimate friend, Miss Annie Wilkes,
spent some time with her reading the
sacred book. For herself she had no
apprchensions, but for her sisters and
her mother she felt keen anxiety.
Hannah Gale died at o'clock. A
dcathbed more solemn, yet less mourn
full, is seldom seen. The Gale sisters
have lived . blamclcss life-so say
all who knew them. Less selfish
ness in a circle of sisters, perhaps,
was never known. Hannah, during
her last moments, manifested o de-
gree of resignation too sublime to re-
suit from any thing but sustaining
grace. Her life had been blameles,
and dying sho declared that lie who
had bceen her strength in life was
now supporting her as the vel! be-
tween time and eternity grew thin.
The dying girl convcrsed as few peo-
pie supposed her capable of convers-
ing, and as the last breath Auttered
upon her lips, the name of her Savior
was pronounced with it.

The War in Kentucky.

1t is evident that the period has ar
rived when the soil Of Kentucky, like
that of the border States of Virginia
and Missouri, is to be made the thea
tire of many bloody contests. The
threat of the Memphis Appeal, that
the South would never permit her to
unite herself with the Northern States,
is the keynote Of the policy which the
traitors are seeking to enforce, and
from present indications the impend-
ing struggle will prove desperate
and fierce one. All ideas of the main
tenance of neutral position have
been abandoned, and a war to the
knife has been commenced which is to
decide whether the Union or the Dis
union army shall gain control of
the State. The proclamation of Gen.
Anderson calls upon all patriots to
rally around the Union flag, and that
of Gen. Buckncr invokes all traitors
to flock to his standard. The latter
officer, it will be remembered, was for
a considerable period, in command Of
the State troops who were chiefly re-
cruited from among the Scccssionists,
and the prophecies of Prentice, dcclar-
ing, that Buckncr would eventually
be found battling in the Confederate
army, have been strictly fulfilled.
At Louisville an intense feeling
has been aroused. That is the point
against which the hostile operations
of the traitors are chiefly directed.
1t is supposed to be their design to
capture and destroy it. They are ami
mated not only by their wish to plum
der it, but by their intense hatred of
the sterling loyalty of its leading citi-
zcns and principal journals. We gre
glad to notice, however, on the other
hand. the patriotic spirit that animatcs
the Union men of the State. Fully
conscious of the existing dangers,
they are making united and hercu-
lean effort to avert them and we
sincerely hope that, with the aid of
the troops from Indiana, Illinois, and
Ohio, who will no doubt speedily rush
to their relief, the schemes of the Sc
cessionists may DO bafllcd, and their
invading hosts driven back. Hence
forth, in Kentucky, as in all other
quarters of our Union, the contest will
be narrowed down TO strife between
two parties-pairiots and traitors
and in the bloody war between them,
may God protect the right.

EVANSVILLE, IND, Sept. 80.
FRIEND HHDRErH:-Being, as We arc,
upon the borders of slavery, we arc
subject to dangers and cxcitcmcnts
from which you arc fortunately free
l told you, somo time since, that We
were fearful of our ncighbor, Ken
lucky, and we had a right to be,
owing to the fact that her position Of
neutrality did not comport well with
her voting manifestations. But now
she begins to act in accordance with
her voting, and, although storms arc
thickening within her border, VIC have
confidence in her integrity. We now
believe tho rebels have mistaken her
temper and pursued q suicidal policy
in marching troops upon her soil
They expected that the condensation
of Federal troops would rush her into
the vortex of Secession. But, on the
contrary, from present appearances ii
will secure her power in the scale oi
the Union. Her offended State pride
has produced a storm that has ever
compelled her traitor Governor to do
his duty.
1t is reported here to-day that Gov.
Magoflin has issued proclamation
calling upon all the sons of Kentucky
to rally and drive the insolcnt invad.
crs from her soil. One of our State
militia officers returned from the
Green River region of Kentucky yes
tcrday, with news that tho "Scccsh
occupied Hopkinsville, q town seventy.
five miles from US, and that they con.
templatcd the destruction Of the lower
locks on that river, only fifteen miles
from here. The report of course crc-
atcd much alarm, and town meeting
was called to concert measures to put
the city in state of defence. Gen.
Love and the Colonel of our Home
Guards left in an extra train at hall
past o'clock, p. NJ, for Indianapolis,
and at 5 o'clock this morning 500
men, half regiment from Tcrrc
Haute, arrived, to be followed by
other forces for the defence of this
city, and | presume, also, Of the locks
on Green River in Kentucky.
We have here four or five companies
of regiment, the AID Indiana, form
ing, which are pretty we'll drilled and
armed, in addition to our Home
Guards. We also have an abundance
Of arms for our whole populace, so
think VIC are not in much danger o!
an attack. But, should we be attack
cd. VIC win give good account Of
ourselves.
Some of the more timid of our peo-
pie have, for weeks, had their carpets
up. and every thing in readiness for q
hasty move. All the preparation !
have made, however, is to have my
rifle in good order, we'll loaded, and a
good supply of ball cartridges on
hand. We may be menaced within
twcnty-four hours, but my impression
is that VIC shall not be disturbed.
