AUTUMN.
BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.

Oh! with what glory comes and goes the year!
The buds of spring-those beautiful harbingers
Of sunny skies and cloudless times-enjoy
Life's newness and earth S garniture spread out,
And when the silver habit of the clouds
Comes down on the autumn sun, and, with
A sober gladness, the old year takes up
HIS bright inheritance of golden fruits,
A ponlp and pageant fill the splendid scene.
There is beautiful spirit breathing now
Its mellowed richness on the clustered trees,
And from beakert full Of richest dyes,
Pouring new glory On the Autumn woods;
And dipping in warm light the summer clouds,
Morn, on the mountain, like a summer bird,
Lifts up her purple wing; and in the wales
The gentle wind, sweet and passionate wooer,
Kisses the blushing leaf, and stirs up life
Within the solemn woods of ash, deep crimsoned,
And silver beech, and maple yellow-leave
Where Autumn, like faint old man, sits down
By the way-side aweary. Through the trees
The golden robin moves; the purple finch
A winter bird with it's plaintivc whistle,
And pecks by the witch-hazel; whilst aloud,
From cottage roofs, the warbling blue-bird sings;
And merrily, with oft repeated stroke,
Sounds from the threshing floor the fail.
Oil what glory doth this world put on
For him who with a fervent heart goes forth,
Under the bright and glorious sky, and looks
On duties well performed, and day well spent;
For him the wind, aye! and the yellow leaves
Shall have voice, and givo him eloquent
teachings.
lie shall so hear the solemn hymn that Death
Has lifted up for all, that he shall go
To his last resting g-place without tear

An Extraordinary Story---A British
Vessel Destroyed by Southern Priya%:
teers.

GATEsvILLE, n. c., Sun'y, Aug. 4,
L will now relate the substance Of a,
statement made to me as I was about
leaving Weldon, by a sailor named
Henry Ross, of Liverpool, England
He accosted me with tie inquiry if I
was net British subject, saying that
he had an important matter to commu-
nlcate tosome trusty person who could
lay it before British Consul Having
satisfied him Of my ability to do so, he
went on to say that he was impressed,
on the 18th of July, by Captain Lewis,
of the pirate Speed, mounting a thirty
two FOUNDER, and two smaller guns, and
with a crew Of twenty three men, we'll
armed. He was to serve as gunner
On the afternoons of July 81, being off
the coast near Nag's Head, the captain
observed a vessel, and giving chase, soon
overhaule her, and fred shot across
her bow, upon which she Immediately
ran up the British flag, her men crowd
ing the decks, apparently in great sur
prise. The captain of the Speed, who
was intoxicated, burst out into torrent
of frighful oaths, and swore that hoist
ing that flag was only "Y Yankee trick"
that he knew she Was a Boston ship,
and he was not to- be fooled by that
dodge any moro. He ordered Ross to
load the gun with grape, and "send the
ID Yankees to hell''-which Ross re-
fused to do: declaring that he would not
fire upon his country's flag. At this
the captain became violently enraged
and drawing revolver discharged it at
him, one shot taking effect and wound
ing him, but not seriously. He was
then ironed and taken below. The gun,
loaded heavily with grape-shot, was
fired upon the ship with murderous eff
feet, killing as it seems, the Captain and
four of his crew. Upon boarding,
which was done after bloody resistance,
Captain Lewis discovered he had made
an irretrievable mistake, and that his
prize was really a British vessel, with a
cargo of coffee. After hasty consul
tation, it was resolved to carry the thing
through with high hand, and destroy
all proofs of the transaction by dis
patching the remainder of the crow
The ship was then relieved of her cargo
and burned. Mr.. Ross, who, it appears,
was to be shot next morning, was re-
leased that night by one Henry Sullivan,
of New York, (who was impressed at
the sane time with him, and made his
escape. This story~was related to me
in a very earnest and sincere manner by
Mr. Ross, who seems quite Intelligent;
and in 10 particular was his account Of
this shocking transaction contradictsd. |
examined him as rigidly and cautiously
as | would witness in Court in case
Of the greatest Importance. | have no
reason TO question its truth, for it only
corroborates what | had before heard.
Ross is on his way North, and will
doubtless soon lay the matter before the
proper authorities.

STATE OF ONO EXECUTIVE DEPT,

COLUMBUS, August IA.
SIR: Among the resolutions re ported
by you as Chairman of q Committee, and
adopted by the Democratic Convention
which met in this city on the 7th 81
August. I find the following:
"Resolced, That the corruption, ex.
travagance, incompetency and favoritisn
shown In the War Department of the
State and Federal Governments deserve
and receive our unqualified condemna-
ton, and ought to be Immediately cor
rected and reformed"
These are grave charges. If well
founded, the State authorities, and es,
pecially myself as the Executive, ought
Immediately to resign their executive
trusts. If false those who have pre-,
ferred, and those who give currency to
them, must receive the merited condem
nation of an indignant people. Youl
resolution embodies general accusations
[ call upon you for particulars, and de.
mand the evidence upon which you have
based your assault. The medium
through which it shall be given leave
you to determine.
That you may be prepared for the
fullest exhibit of facts, invite you to q
thorough examination Of every thing re-
lating to the War Department Of my ad-
ministration. All contracts, correspon-
dence, records of appointments, and all
orders appertaining to the department
you have attacked shall be freely ex-
posed, and you shall be furnished with
copies of whatever papers you designate
| extend you also the liberty of inter.
rogating, at your pleasure, every officer
on my staff, and every assistant in my
own and in their offices.
Ifyour resolutions are not the expo
nent of Il purpose as old as the war, an
as malevolent as it is insidious, to simu-
late patriotism and economy but instill
distrust, by which political ambition
and party avarice may be subserved
public credit deprecated and the Ma,
tional Government compelled to dis
graceful compromise with armed trea-
son, you will promptly seize the oppor,
tunity | give you, to show the people
that those whom you represent are act
uated by motives Of honest antagonisn
TO rebellion, not less than by anxiety fol
the preservation Of political identity, and
the supremacy of doctrines, which, by a
popular vote the loyal States have con
demned. Respectfully.

ssi5e The general theory of chemists

B&p he general Theory OF chemists
hitherto has been that tea lessons the
waste of the body and so sustaips the
bodily powers with less nourishmlnt
than is otherwise required. DIR. +.
Smith, at "a recent meeting of the Society
of Arts, gave the result of some expert
ments he had made ta ascertain the truth
Of this theory. He found THAT if there
was abundance of food in the system,
and that especially of the farinaceous or
fat kinds, tea is powerful digestive
agent, and by promoting the transforma-
ton of food, it aids in nourishiGg the
body but with deficiency of food it
wastes the tissues of the body and lowers
the vital powers.

Benuregard and Mcclellan.

The. Chicago Tribune says. a
"When Gen. Mcclellan was a. residen,
of this city, he kept up an active CORES
pondence with his army associates, and
among them with Beauregard, whom he
had known intimately. At that time a
great tillibusteripg expedition to Cen
tral America, under the patronage Of the
X. G. c., which has played so large q
part in this rebellion, was contemplated
by the restless spirits of the South
Beauregard, though in the army and
bound by the obligations of his oath,
was impelled by his love of notoriety
and by his desire to give scope to his
military ambition to become one of, the
chief conspirators. But he knew that
Walker, then in full hlQssom, vas not the
man for leader; and be had not that en-.
tire confidence in himself that WOULD
justify his taking the command He
applied to Mcclellan offering him the
most hattering inducements that could
be held out-the leadership With arbi-
trary powers, active support throughout
the South, the lions share of the cx-
pected spoils, and the military dictator
ship of the tobe conquered provinces
if he would engage in the enterprise
This offer, tempting to young man of
easy conscience, vas sumEiarily rejected;
but was renewed again and again with
new temptatiaps, until Mcclellan per-
emptorily forbade any further reference
to it. Wanting his leadership, the ex.
pedition was abandoned. In the cor
respondence, Beapragara admitted shs
military superiority of Mcclellan, and
expressed himself thoroughly satisfied
with a subordinate position in bis com
man4.
