consent mistress of the art of good man

arising from timidity, to "too forward and

find more graceful expression, but they can
generally find something legitimate to do

Rebel Accounts Of the Campaign.

The enemy is apparently unable to prevent
newspaper correspondents from describing
the defenses and preparations of the rebel
forces. For instance, a correspondent of the
New Orleans Pcay1ne, writing from Fred
ricksburg, Virginia, under date of August "a
gives this account of the condition Of affairs
at. Acquia Creek:
At Acquia Greek fnd.the batteries in ad-
mirable condition, we'll posted, and alto
gether beyond the reach of the enemy's di-
rect shot, but quite capable of giving his
vessels great annoyance. In addition to the
rifed gun and the eight-ineh columbiad our
men have mounted the long ri1ed gun
captured at Manassas, at a very eligible
point, and in a trial yesterday it threw a
shell clear across the Potomac to the Mary
land shore, a distance of over four miles.
Unfortunately the ship channel is nearer the
Maryland than the Virginia shore, but still
measures are being adopted which will very
soon give our batteries the control of the
navigation of the river.
The battery at Acquia Greek, which
achieved one of the most brilliant successes
of the war, is under the immediate command
of Captain Walker, who has fine company
of artillerists, composed of young men from
this town. They have become perfectly
conVersant with the management of the big
guns. There is also very excellent battery
of flying artillery, under Captain Braxton,
and yesterday another very efficient flying
artillery company came up from Richmond
with six large pieces, including rihed gun
two howitzers and three other brass pieces
and fifty fine horses. There is also Balti
more company, and in its composition an(
organization resembles our Washington ar
tillery. There is an ample force here to repe
any attempt to land a hostile force. Th
water defenses are under the command O
Captain Ly yncb, formerly of the United State
| Navy.
Moreover, the same correspondent draw
this sorry picture of financial distress il
Virginia:
Every bank, every town and village cor
| poration, even the State itself, and privat,
bankers, are deluging the State will

The Battle Summer.

The following lines breathe the spirit of tru
poetry:
The Summer wanes-her languid sighs now yield
To Autumns cheering air,
The tceming orchard and the waving field
Fruition's glory wear.
More clear against the flushed horizon wall
Stand forth each rock and tree,
More near the ericket's note, the plover's cali,
More crystalline the sea.
The sunshine chastened like a mothers gaze,
The meadows fragrant balm,
The purple leaf and amber-tinted maize,
Reprove while they calm.
For on the landscapes brightly -pensive face
Wars angry shadows lie,
His ruddy strains upon the woods we trace,
And in the crimson sky.
No more we bask in Earth's contented smile,
But sternly muse apart;
Vainly her charms the patriots soul beguile,
Or woo the orphans heart
Yon keen-eyed stars with mute reproaches brand
The lapse from faith and law,
No more harmonious cmblems Of land
Ensphered in love and awe.
As cradled in the noontidcs warm embrace,
And bathcd in dew and rain,
The heritage freshened and in bilowy grace
Wide surged the rpenins grain;
And the wild rose and dclover's honeycd cell
Exhaled their peaceful breath,
On the soft air broke Treason's iendish yell
The harbinger of DEATH
Nor to the camp alone his summons came
To blast the glowing day,
But heavenward bore upon the wings of fame
Our poets mate away;
And set his seal upon the statesmans lips
On which nation hung,
And wrapt the NOTES.-The in cold eclipse
BY woman lived or sung.
How shrinks the heart from natures festal noon,
As shrinks the withered leaves
In the wan light of Sorrows harvest noon
To CLEAN her blighted sheavcs.
