MISSING.

Not among the suffering wounded;
Not among the peaceful dead;
Not among the prisoners. "MIssfNo"
That was all the message said.
Y ct his mother reads II over,
Until, through her painful tears,
Fades the dear name she has called him
For these two-Rnd-twenty years.
Round her all Is peace and plenty;
Bright and clean the yellow aoor;
While the morning -glories cluster
All around the kitchen door.
Soberly, the sleek old house-cat
Drowses in his patch of sun;
Neatly shines the oaken dresser;
All the mornings work is done.
Through the window comes that fragrance
ofa sunny harvest morn,
Fragment songs from distant reapers,
And the rustling of the corn;
And the rich breath Of the garden
Where the golden melons lie;
Where the blushing plums are turning
All their read cheeks to the sky
Sitting there within the sunshine
Leaning in an easy chair;
With soft lines upon her forhead,
And the silver in her hair
Blind TO suushine-deadto TO fragrance
On that royal harvest morn;
Thinking, while her heart is weeping,
Other noble-browed first born.
How he left here in the Springtime,
With his young heart full Of flame,
With his clear and ringing footstep,
With his 1.-THE and supple frame.
How with tears his eyes were brimming,
As he kissed a last "Good bye"
Yet she heard him whistling gayIy
As he went across the rye.
MISSING. Why should he be missing?
He would fight until he fell;
And if wounded, killed, or pris'ner,
Some one there would be to tell
MISSING. Still hope to cheer herl
Safe, triumphant, he may come,
With the victor-army shouting,
With the clamor Of the drumi
% througn All the Gays OF Autumn
In the eve and in the morn
She will hear his quickening footsteps
In the rustling of the corn.
Or she will hush the household,
While her heart goes leaping high,
Thinking that she hears him whistling.
In the pathway through the rye.
Far away, through all the Autumn,
Ina lonely, lonely glade
In the dreary desolation
That the Battle Storm has made
With tho rust upon hismusket-
In the eve and in the morn
In the rank gloom of the fern leaves
Lies her noble-browed first-born.

Bra alley, with his Arkansas companies who
went on a apfospecting tour up the river the

SKETCH on 7HE NHw ESGLANDER.--Spare
in face and figure, he is distinguished by a
clear, penetrating eye, singu)arly intel
lectual aspect frank, open expression, a
quick, impulsive, nervous manner; his BEAR
ing is marked by restlessness and sort of
explosive energy there is no repose in his
character; one feels quite slow beside a New
Highlander. His temperament seems in q
high degree nervous sanguine, with the for
mef element preponderating. He has a con-
slant craving for action, for change, for ex-
citenpent. he is the very embodiment of
the spirit of scheming, speculation and en-,
terprise, has faith in himself goes ahead
with o reckless confidence and headlong
stick at nothing ism, and more perhaps than
any nation on earth, exemplifies the Scotch
saying, "He will make spoon or spoil a
horn ~ 7- -, ID -..,.. H.. ...-,.. ...
he often does spoil the horn but, with
wonderful elasticity, springs up again, per-
hsps on the very spot where he fell, like a
phoenix from the ashes-perhaps in the Far
West, into which he carties the same dash
and daring. An American and Nova SEQ
tian were discoursing Of banking, after the
crisis of 1857. The latter was praising the
banking system pursued in his Province, in
which, he said, the banks never fail. "Whst,

OPEEIEG OF A TELEGRAPH LANE IN PERsIA.
In late number of Persian newspaper,
called the, HekGyG, we have an aceount Of
the opening of a telegraph line lMorse's}
between Teheran, the Capital Of Persia, and
Tabreez, on or near the Urumia Lake, four
hundred miles distant. 1t follows the route
ofcaravsns., The Inauguration came off on
the 2lst of January last, on the esplanade of
Abe imperial palace, in the presence of the
young sQvereign, Eacir Eddine, all the Dig
-nitaries Of the court and thousands Of spec
tators. Questions were sent to Tabreez, and
when answered, the replies were read aloud
amid the joyous cries of the people and
salvos of artillery. 81 News that required
twelve days ordinarily for transmission now
came in q few minutes much to theastonish-
meht of the enthusiastic and wonder-loving
Persisns. This miracle has been brought
about by the Minister Of Public Instruction,
who is the uncle of the Shah, and by the
Director of Telegraphs, Ali-Kouli Xekan,
both of whom we're publicly honored on the
spot with, princely robes, India shawls, dag

The seizure OF Coat by the Southern Reb-

BY the VlrRiDihns.
Our special dispatches have already an
nounced the stoppage of the Cumberland
coal trhde by the Virginia rebels, and SRtur-
days Baltimore American gives the follow
ing particulars of the seizure g1 t.lr
The military authorities at Hurpers Ferry
yesterday stopped twelve burden trains
loaded with lumber, grain, &C. but chiefly
with coal, OF which some twenty. two thou
sand tuns were on board. Upon ascertain I.
ing the fact of the detention, tie officers Of
the railroad company at once telegraphed to
Colonel Jackson, the eommandant ag Har-
per's Ferry, inquiring the grounds of deten-
tioD, and were Informed that definite infor-
nation had been received that the coal was
intended for the use of the Federal Govern
ment, and its Seizure, therefore, was mat
Ter of course, - t-- -.--s
In response, Colonel jackson was assured
of The. .inCorfedtness Of his information, and
notified that the greater portion of the coal
in question was for the conpsny's own use
IN this city, and its release requested. Ne
gotiationsto that eud are yet pending, with
a probability OF a successful result.
The coal is from the Piedmont and Cum
berland regions from whence heretofore
large quantities have been shipped for the
use of the merchants marine of the North,
but if the shott;s ghted policy inauguratei

probable result win be The permanent diver

Philadelphia Press says of the Seventh
The New York Seventh Regiment place
themselves at the disposal Of General Scott,
in regard to their future movements. The
time for which they were sworn in s(thirly
days) bas expired, and as nearly every man
in the ranks is in business in New York,
many OF them feel desire 10 be relieved, if
possible, without inconvenience to the War
Departments; but the entire regiment OF over
fourteen hundred men place themselves en-
tirely at the disposal of General Scott As
evidence of their attachment to the cause of
their country is the fact that they left New
York at twelve hours notice, and were
among the first in the National Capital when
it was threatened with invasiona Another
fact that evinces their continued desire to
aid the Government is that their ranks, since
their arrival in Washington, have been grad
ually strengthened -tc SD. '-s-y.
The number of muskets in the regiment
has been increased from nine hundred aud
ninety one, counted in the FIRST arrival to
one thousand two hundred and seventy, now
in the camp, while the whole number Of men

mated that General Scott would probably
order Che regiment to Long Island, for the
purpose of drilling recruits gathered into
the central encampments there. As recruits
are drilled much more effectually by being
placed in the ranks Of well-drilled COM
pany, this arrangement would seem to com
mend itself especially as the Seventh would
still be under the orders of the General Gov
eminent, and would be held in readiness to
march to any point at six hours notice.
Under all circumstances, however, they are
entirely subject in their movements to orders
from the War Department.
