An Important PrecauL lion.

Under this bead the New York Times
makes the following comments upon Sec
rotary Stewards circular. 1t says:
Secretary Seward has addressed an
official circular to the Governors of the sea-
board States, inviting them to take steps,
in advance CT the action of Congress, for
the more efiectual defence of our seaports
against foreign invasion. He takes care to
accompany this suggestion with the assur-
ance that our foreign relations are less
threatening now than they have been at
any time since the outbreak OF the rebellion.
Still the fact of making this request thus
publicly, taken in connection with the aspect
of our foreign affairs, will scarcely fail to
create some uneasiness in the public mind.
The cotton crisis in England is close at
hand, and it is evident that in spite of AL
their efforts to procure supply from other
sources the attempt can only be partially
successful, and very many mills must stop.
Agents of the South are actively at work
abroad, urging England and France to
break the blockade, and Mr.. Lindsay s
speech in Parliament shows that their efforts
have not been wholly unsuccessful.
Whatever may be the consequences, no
one can doubt that any such attempt on the
part of those powers would be met by a
declaration of war. This country can not
afford to be reduced to the position of vassal-
age which the liberation of such an act
would imply. And while we do not anti
cipate any such extremity, it is well to be
prepared for it, The call of the Govern
ment, therefore, is very timely, and, we trust,
will meet with prompt attention"

Confessing the Corn.

The monarch of the mercantile world just
now is not cotton but corn. Our last re
ports from England end with this significant
little paragraph: "Breadstuffs firm but ex>
cited" Parisians are beginning to COM
plain of the high price Of food. Both in
Great Britain and France the deficiencies
OF the harvest are greater than either have
yet confessed, but they tell the truth in re-.
gard to each other. The London Times
says:
The most painful intelligence from France
is the deficiency of the last harvest. The def
cheney, it is now ascertained, is much greater
than was previously supposed. France, it is
estimated. will be compelled to spend forty
millions sterling (about two hundred millions
of dOllars) this year to make up the deficiency
an enormous sum, greater even than the tall.
ure which last years harv st entailed upon
ourselves Gin Great Brittany. We stated re-
Gently that large quantities of flour were being
shipped from Liverpool to various ports in
France and we now learn that sixty millions
of francs in gold have been sent to Russia to
purchase grain. This sad disaster will react
upon the Euglish market, and will affect. more
Or less seriously, all the grain markets IN the
world. Happily. plenty of grain for expOrta-
ton is to be had in Russia and on the western
shores of the Atlantic. Both Canada and the
United States will be importing largely into
France.
This is confirmed by other authorities,
which have already produced great activity
in our own grain markets. The Erie canal,
it is said, floats four millions of bushels of
grain day, and yet this and other means
of transportation cannot meet the demands
of the trade. The world is prepared to do
homage to the new sovereign.

BY JAMES C. CLARK.
LEoNA, the hour draws nigh
The hour we've waited so long
For the angel to open a door tlro the sky,
That my spirit may break through its prison and try
It's voice in an infinite song.
just now, as the sIumbers Of night
Came DER me with peace giving breath,
The curtain half-lied revealed to my sight
Those windows which look on the kingdom of light
| That borders the river ofdeath
And vision fell solemn and sweet,
Bringing CLEANS Of a morning,lt land
saw the white shore where the pale waters beat,
And heard the low lul they broke at their feet,
Who walked the beautiful strand
And wondered why spirits should cling
To their clay with a struggle and sigh,
When life's purple autumn is better than spring,
Ana the soul lies away like a sparrow, to sing
In elm ate where leaves never die.
LEoNA, come close to my bed,
And lay your dear hand on my brow;
Ihe same touch that blessed in days that fed,
And raised the lost roses of youth from the dead,
Can brighten the brief moments now
We have loved from the cold world apart
And your trust was too generous and true
For their hate to oerthrow when The slanderers dar
was ranking deep in my desoiate heart,
was dearer than ever to you
thank the Great Father for this,
That our love is not Iavished in vain;
Each germ, in the future will blossom to bliss,
and the forms that love, ana the lips that kiss
Never shrink at the shadow of pain
By the light of this faith am taught
That my labor is only begun
In the strength Of this hope have struggled and fought
With the 'egions ofwrong till my armor has caught,
The CLEAN Of Eternity's sun.
LEoNA, look forth and behold
From headIand, from hillside and deep,
The day king surrenderg his banners of gold,
The twilight advances thro' woodland and wold
And the dews are beginning to weep.
The moons silver hair lies uncurled,
Down the broad-breased mountains away
Ere sunsets red glories again shalIbe furled
On the walls Of the west, DER the plains of the world
shall rise in a limitless day.
go, but weep not Ger my tomb,
Nor plant with frail flowers the SGD:
There is rest among roses too sweet for its gloom
In the Misunderstanding gardens OF God
Yet deeply these memories burn,
Which bind me to you and to earth,
And sometimes have ho't that my being would yearn,
In the bowers offs beautiful home to return,
and visit the home OF its birth.
'Twould even be pleasant to stay,
And walk by your side to the last
But the land breeze of Heaven is beginning to play
Lies shadows are meeting eternity's day.
And its tumult is hushed in the past

MISSISSIPPI Cry Mss, June O. 1861.
M. Edtor-Our little village was thrown into
quite furore of excitement this afternoon by the
addition to the number of our inhabitants by the
arrival of the steamer Grey Cloud, from New Or
leans, with portion of Col. Barrow's regiment,
about 400 strong, all in fine health and good con-
dition, save the ducking they received on board of
the boat from the heavy rain to which they were
exposed greater part of the day. The members of
the companies complain of not having any thing to
eat for Sc hours, no sleep and the bad management
on board of the boat-having left the camp at Tan
gpahoa at very early hour on Saturday morning
and being all day on the cars found themselves
compelled to leave town at II o'clock at night,
with no chance of getting anything to eat, and
what little they did have was wet on the trip. The
residents hereabout begin to feel quite safe, and
every one can be heard questioning if old Abes
missionaries should come there would be good
showing for giving them cordial and warm well

which the troops brought along with them, the
weight of which caused Col. Barnes wharf to sink
about foot out of line. The companies, four in
number, under command of Lieut.. Col. Allen, are
camped in a nice, quiet place near to the wharf,
where they have plenty OF fine spring water and
clear running brook beside the encampment. The
men and officers seem to be quite delighted with
their present location and say is far superior to
their Camp Moore position, over which they have
many advantages iE obtaining fresh provisions and
save the trouble of catching them, in which many
of them were busy employed this afternoon: As
fishing is now most excellent the boys could not
have come at better time to enjoy themselves
and do camp duty at the same time.
Col. Barnes has his fine hotel now ready for the
| accommodation of boarders, for which he has
plenty of room and COED attentive walters, and all
| that can be had for the inner man; and as there
will be an uninterrupted communication between
here and town. the Colonel, with his usual pleasing
countenance will ever be ready to receive all his
| old friends and as many new customers as will
| honor him with their company this summer. He
has made arrangements for large house-f1ll

A SKIRNIsH AT ARLINGTON MILLS "A ZoUAvE
KlLLEp.-AleTand,T0 June 4, 0 P. M.-The follow
ing are the particulars in regard to last nights
doings on this side the Potomac;
Shortly before midnight skirmish took place at
Arngtons Mills, between a company of Zouaves
and Capt Roth's company e, of the Michigan
regiment, and scouting party of nine Virginians.
The Iouaves had just arrived to relieve the Mchi-
ganders, and posted their sentinels when the Vr-
gnians attacked them. The Federal troops drove
them away, but in the conflict one Zouave was
killed and one wounded
1t was supposed that one of the Confederates
was killed or wounded, but he was carried off by
his comrades in their retreat. The Confederates
retired to the woods during the night, and in the
morning took themselves off in a hand.ear. The
Federalists endeaVored to pursue them, but with
out success.
An employee of the mills, named Mortimer, was
shot early in the evening by the same scouting
party
