opened is remarkablefOr completing june

the region which it traverses have hitherto
been deprived of half their utility. 1t is
remarkable too, as supplying an imrzediate I,
connected highway from the chief empori-

regions watered by Bose giant streams
The line was contemplated more tAan
thirty years ago, BY the greatest Of Amer

ed as the high road from east to west. it
is required for the settlers who already
throng the whole breadth Of territory which
it serves; and it passes through what Gin

THE PRESENT.
BY ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTOR.

Do not crouch to-day, and worship
The old Past, whose life is fed,
Hush your voice to tender reverence;
Crowned he lies, but cold and dead;
For the Present reigns our monarch,
With an added weight of hours;
Honor her. for she is mighty
Honor her. for she is ours
See the shadows of his heroes
Girt around her cloudy throne;
And each day the ranks are strengthened
BY great hearts 10 him unknown:
Noble things the great Past promised.
Holy dreams both strange and new;
But the Present shall fulfil them,
What he promised, she shall do.
She inherits all his treasures, ---....-
She is heir to all his fame,
And the light that lightens round her
Is the lustre of his name: -..--.....
Since she is wise with all his wisdom.
Living on his grave she stands,
On her brow she bears his laurels,
And his harvests in her hands.
Coward, can she reign and conquer
If we thus her glory dim?
Let US fight for her as nebly ..ts..
As our fathers fought for him.
God. who crowns the dying ages,
Bids her rule and us obey
Bids US cast our lives before her,
With our loving hearts to-day

NATHAN HALE.

The following poem, on Nathan Hale, the
martyr of Americas liberty, we have never
seen in priRt Nathan Hale was born in Cow
entry, Conn . in 1855. and graduated, at Yale
College, in l776; he then entered the Ameri-
can army as captain in the light infantry regi
ment. The same year, the Americans were
defeated on Long Island, and Obliged TO re-
treat; and General Washington was extremely
desirous TO gain some knowledge respecting
the enemy's future operations. Notwithstand-
ing the extreme difficulty and peril OF the un-
dertaking. Capt. Hale volunteered his services
to Washington. Having disguised himself
and crossed over to Long Island he proceeded
to the British encampment, obtained the nee
essary information but at the moment of his
leaving the island, he was recognized 10y rel
ative, who was a refugee. and betrayed. He
was taken before Sir William Howe, who.
without the formality of trial. ordered him
to be hung the nert SnOra"n9 This peremPtory
order was carried into effect ina cruel, barl'ar
Ous, and reVengeful manner He met his fate
with composure aud tirmness. His last words
were. that he lamented that he had but one
life to lose for his Country
To drum beat. aud heart beat,
A Soldier passes by;
There is color in his cheek,
There is courage in his eye @
Yet to drum beat. and heart beat,
In q moment he must die.
By starlight. aud moonlight.
He seeks the Briton 5 camp,
he hear the rustling flag.
And the armed seRtry's tramp
And the starlight. and moonlight
His silent wanderings lamp.
With slow tread. and still tread.
He scorns the tented line;
And he courts the battery guns
By the gaunL and sha doWy pine.
And his slow Tread. anu still tread,
Gives no Wavering sign.
The dark wave, the Plumed wave.
1t meets his eager glance,
And 1t sparkles meath the stars
Like the glimmer Of lance.
A dark wave. plumed wave

And terror in the sound,
For the sentry's falcon eyes

And the patriot is bound
With calm brow. steady brow. - .
He listens to his doom.
In his look there is no fear,
Foreshadow trace of gloom
But with calm brow. steady brow,
He rBBes him for the tomb.
In the long night. the still night.
He kneels upon the sod;
And the brutal guards withhold
Zen the solemn word of God.
In the long night, the still night
He walks where Christ has trod.
Meath the blue morn, the sunny morn,
He dies upon the tree;
And he mourns that he can have
But one life for liberty.
And in the blue morn, the sunny morn,
His spirit wings are free.
But his last words. his message words,
They burn. less friendly eye
Should read how proud and calm,

With his last words, his dying words,
A soldier battle cry. ..--...
From fame leaf, and angel leaf,
From monument and urn,
The sad of earth, the glad of heaven
His tragic fate shall learn.
And on fame leaf. and angel leaf
The name of HALE shall burn.

TIE RocKPoRT BOYS. Captain Woods
Company, from Rockport, numbering nearly
one hundred men, arrived last evening on
the Hetty Gilmore. A spirited song by the
company with chorus which, we must
say was entirely original, attracted to the
levee hundreds of our citizens, who seemed
TO ENJOY the music hugely. After singing,
the company disembarked and formed on the
ieVee. They then marched up Main Street
en- route for Camp Vanderburgh. A major
ity OF the members of the company are over
the average size, and when drilled, will
make excellent soldiers. This is the second

south CaroIina.

II is probable that about the time 'leavcs
begin to fall" the chivalrlc sons of the
Palmetto State, who evoked this war, and
are responsible for the results will find
themselves beleagured by land and sea. The
loyal people of the United States are anx-
ious to have the rebels of South Carolina
punished as they richly deserve. Year
after year, the traitors in that State have
endeavored to undermine the Common
wealth, but hitherto their efforts have been
disregarded by their Southern brethren, and
therefore the government has indulgently
allowed it to disseminate its treason until
ten states are found armed against its au-
thority. The secession doctrines were
born in the Palmetto State. To it belongs
the infamy of planning and setting on foot
this gigantic revolution, and upon its head
let the gravest punishment descend. The
fearful responsibility of this war rests upon
South Carolina, and it is intimated by par
ties in the confidence of the Administration
that so soon rs the weather is favorable
the rebelious State will feel the weight and
power of the T urral arm. AS Mr.. Forney
of the Philadel la Press, says, she will be
taught in WY 4.at will never be forgot
ten, that such reasonable insolence, and
such wanton disregard for the peace and
prosperity of great people, as she has ex-
hibited, cannot be suffered TO pass unpunish-
ed, and that the fall of Sumpter will be
fearfully avenged.
In anticipation of coming trouble, Gov
Pickens has forbidden the departure of any
more troops from the State. Were each
man equal to FIVE " as they have claimed,
it would not save them from the retribution
that awaits them. The grandees of Palmet-
pestilent little State win be wiped out. IT, and
its territory given to loyal and honest men.

CAMr HAsoALL, Va, July 10th.

CANT HAsoALL, Va, July 10th.
Ep. JoURNAL:-Thinking that you have
had no communication from this regiment,
propose to give you a sketch of our do
ings. We left Indianapolis July the lst,
and arrived at Cincinnati next day. Here,
in company with the Ind. 18th, that had
left indianapolis few hours before us, we
marched to the Lower Market house, where
the good citizens of the Queen City had
bountiful breakfast prepared for both regi-
ments. The 1000 men quickly surrounded
the table and every one present, men and
boys, seemed to vie with each other in
their attentions to US. We next marched to
Camp Clay, Eve miles above the citA and
as we passed through the city, the streets
and doors, and balconies were lined with
people, waving flags and handksrchiefs and
cheering US on. We left Camp Clay the
4th, and went into camp here, July 9Th.
This camp is located near Petersburg, Va,
on the Ohio river, at the mouth of the Little
Kanawha. We found the 18th Ohio, under
Col. Smith here We encamped with them,
and the ind. 18th moved on towards Graf
ton. COL Hascall, our Colonel, took COM
mand of this camp and we have given it
the name of Camp Hascall. Col. Haseall,
with the able help of Lieut.. Col. Wilder
and Maj. German, is rapidly advancing the
regiment. The Col. is graduate of West
Point, q man of ability, frmness, and I'M
bounded energy and under his command
this regiment will do effective service. We
are now in the enemy's country and know
not what day we may be called to meet an
| advancing army.
There are few organized secession troops
! in Western Virginia, but there are many
secessionists all over the country, and con-
scious of their inability to meet the Union
men, face to face, they have adopted spe-
cies of Guerilla warfare, so that aeither the
lives nor property of union men are safe.
| We now, to meet them, send out scouting
parties, who scour the country and arrest
every secessionist they can get hold Of A
number are now under guard here, and
this morning a scouting party belonging to
the Ohio regiment brought in three seces-
sionists. A Court of Enquiry will investi-
gate their cases to-day, and we should not
be astonished to see hemp persuasion used
with them yet. These fellows have plum
ged us into this war and upon their heads
should the blow fall. No half way policy
will bring peace to our country. Let the
government go right to work and hang and
shoot the last traitor found bearing arms
against it and soon the supremacy of the
laws would be established.
The men here do not generally like SOL
diering They would be rejoiced to hear
that our troubles were settled in peacable
way, but few of them want to go home
until the matter is settled some way or
other. They do not like war and when
they have cleaned out the traitors will glad
ly come home and but few want to return
sooner. The company l am with, is COM
manded by l. G. Vail Capt, 8. W. Boswell

bes An Owensboro spy, who has been
taking notes on this side of the river. re-
turned to that town a few days since and
reported to the secession brethren, that
with 1.-TWO hundred well armed men, he
could take Evansville" If there are two
hundred traitors across the Ohio, who be-
lieve the statement, we would advise them
by all means to "try it on
1t is fact of no particular consequence
that man of this character should make
such statement, but as our informant re.
marked, it indicates that the subject of max
ing descent upon Evansville, is seriously
entertained by the rowdies and traitors of
owensboro, when they send a spy among
us to report to them our situation and our
ability to defend ourselves. We are able to
take care of any party of bandits, they
may see proper to send this way.
