a rift in the storm cloud. They see it /!
1t breaks! it separates! tho storm cloud is
rifted! And that dim light beyond! what
is that light? Can you see its outline !?
We can 1t is the young moon struggling
thro' the breaking cloud! Now it has
settled down from whence it came in two
frowning columns, and the "Queen of
Night" pale Empress of the evening,
sways her slender sceptre in the rosy sky.
Who besides the writer watched that
cloud but few evenings ago and then
thought of that other cloud now hanging
over the South's fair land, far more des-
tructive than ever Jehovah hurled from
his thunderbolts. And, did any symbo-
lizc that moon with the fair young south
ern nation already dimly shining thro the
storm and cloud of battle, hence to grow
as does fair Luna's light, stronger and
broader aud brighter, but not with it to
wane. 1t all seems natural and possible;
and the conviction came forcibly at the
time, that brave and united people bat
ting for their freedom must in the end
obtain the desired result. Then, freed
from the animosity and hatred of hostile
section-their insolent and oficious inter
meddling, with no distraoting question be-
tween them, but one in interest, one in
mind and heart, we shall see in this west
ern world rise, a great and happy nation
transcending in wealth and power the
glory of Old Rome in the palmiest days Of
that proud Empire. Waiting and watch
ing for the storm to pass away, we are
powerless to do moro than to assure our
Southern brothers that our sympathics
and prayers are with them-that their
cause is our. .cause-and that with them we
desire to live and love, or else all perish
together. ....-... ..... ..

Events repeat themselves. The President
now imprisons members of the majority of
the Maryland Legislature, to prevent the
expression of the opinion of that State-a
State which has no love for the Govern
ment which holds it down by the mere
brute force of Northern soldiers. The
Toronto Globe applauds the course of the
Washington Government. Would it not
like to see Messrs. MoDougall and the
other " "lookers-to- Washington " imprison-
ed at the order of the Governor General
just before resolution for change of our
constitution-say for representation by
population or dissolution of the. Legislative
Union-was coming on? These are nice
precedents that it is approving. It GER
tainly would not like them to be tried on
in Canada. If the journals which advocate
the dissolution of our Union were forbidden
the use of the mails, and the members of
Parliament who promoted it imprisoned for
months without trial, it would not be so
admirable a thing in the eyes of the Globe
people. The time might come when these
precedents sanctioned by that journal may
be valuable to lovers of the Canadian
Union.
The other development of tyranny in
opinion is that noticed yesterday, in which
the N. Y. World, not content with having
the free utterancc of the American press
stopped, proposes that the foreign press
shall be in like manner muzzled. Mr..
Russell must be sent away. No one who
dares to think and write independently
shall be permitted to remain in the North
ern States of America! This is assuredly
out heroding Herod. When Bomba ruled
in Naples English correspondents wrote
thence their views of public affairs. So
they have done from Vienna and Pesth
under the despotism of Francis Joseph;
and so we eshewed yesterday they did in the
most troublous times, with little interfer-
ence, from Paris. It remained for the
press of free % America, which has so
long boasted itself the very foremost of alg
free nations, to propose what no tyrant of
Europe has been base or vindictive enough
to attempt.

Like thee to die thou susI My boyhood's dream
Was this; and my spirit with thy beam
Ebbs from a field of victory Yet the hour
Bears back upon me with torrents power,
Natures deep longings Oh for some kind eye
Wherein to meet loves fervent farewell gaze,
Some breast to pillow life's last agony,
Some voice to speak of hope and brighter days,
Beyond the pass of shadows! But 60,
/, that have been so loved, go hence alone;
And ye, now gathering round my own hearths
glow
Sweet friends it may be that a softer tone
Even in this moment with your laughing glee,
Mingles its cadence while you speak of me:
Of me your soldier; midst the mountains lying,
On the red banner of his battles dying,
Far far away and oh ! your parting prayer
Will not his name be fondly murmured there?
1t will blessing on that holy hearth
Though clouds are darkening to oercast its mirth.

Sisters ye watch to greet my steps in vain

Saturday night Alone sit
In musing mood before the fire
A pleasant book the burner lit
What more conld studious man desire?
A moment since my merry girls
Went bounding forth in childish glee-
Those laughing eyes, those roguish curls-
Oh, they are worth the world to me-
They climbed and clamored for the kiss
The goodnight kiss that all must share,
The signet seal of household bliss,
- Before the whispered, evening prayer
The [" now lay me down to sleepy
So softly and so meekly said
May angels guardian watches keep
Around my darlings' peaceful bed.
Life, with my pets, is sunny morn
For them each day new glories glow
For them new buds of bliss are born;
Blue skies, for them, arch all below,
They wake with gladness in their eyes
They feel no care-they know no ill
Each morning brings some sweet surprise,
Which dreams, at night, make sweeter still.
My prayers are with them while they sleep
My prayers are with them when they wake
They are the jewels which keep
And cherish, for my Mary's sake;
Yes, doubly dear they seem to me,
Now, motherless in tender years,
And thoughts of their futurity
Bring sometimes smiles and sometimes tears
Nor less beloved the form that stood,
In pensive silence, near my chair,
just blushing into womanhood,
My eldest daughter, grave and fair;
Her wave of life with softest glide
Was sunlit, till one cloud of woe,
With spreading margin, far and wide,
Oershadowed all that lay below.
And he-the boy that bears my name,
So full of pranks and mirthful lore
see so much to praise-to blame
know not which he needs the moro:
His scorn of study, love of fun,
His reckless, rowing, wayward will,
Leaves patience sometimes quite outdone,
And yeti love the youngster still

A Cold BIocdcd murder.

We are sorry 10 say, that A. ]. LowrHER was
shot by some cowardly enemy who had placed
himself in ambush for the purpose. After the
battle of "Corrick's Fords," on Cheat River
Tuesday morning 10th inst. as the men who re-
manned behind in charge of the captured wag-
ons and baggage came near "Harper's Mills" on
their return, five guns were fred at them, three
balls taking effect on the person of Capt. Jones
of the 9Th Ind. Regiment, and it is said that he
is mortally wounded, and one ball was very
near the head of WIN. Koch. and the fifth pene-
trated the neck of LowTHER killing him Instant
ly. His remains were taken charge of by his
comrades and conveyed back to camp Bealing-
ton at Laurel Hill. and was inferred on We'd
nesday morning, with the honors of war.

ARMY OF OCCUPATION, WESTERN VIRGINIa.
Beverly, Vrginia July 18th 1861.
Soldiers Of the Army Of the West!
am more than satisfied with you.
You have annihilated two armies command
ed by educated and experienced soldiers, en-
tIenched in mountain fastness fortified at their
leisure. You have taken five guns, twelve COL
ors, fifteen hundred stand OF arms. one thousand
prisoners. including more than forty officers
one of the two commanders of the rebels is a
prisoner. and the other lost his life on the field
Of battle. You have killed more than two hun
dred and fifty of the enemy, who has lost all
his baggage and camp equipage. All thss has
been accomplished with the loss of twenty brave
men killed, and sixty wounded on your part
You have proved that Union men, Fighting
for the preservation of our Government, are
more than match for our misguided and er-
ring brethren; more than this you have shown
mercy TO the vanquished. You have made long
and arduous marches, ofetn with insufficient
food, frequently exposed TO the iuclemency of
the weather. l have not hesitated 10 demand
this OF you, feeling that could rely on your en-
durance, patriotism, and courage.
In the future may still have greater demands
to make upon you, still greater sacrifices for you
to the extent of my ability; but / know now
that by your valor and endurance, you will ac-
complish a ! that is asked.
Soldiersl l have confidence in you, ana 1
trust you have learned TO confde in me- Re-
member that Discipline and subordination, are
qualities of equal value with courage.
/ am proud to say that you have gained the
highest reward that American troops can re-
ceive-the thanks OF Congress, and the applause
of your fellow citizens.
