A correspondent of Philadelphia paper,
writing from Pine River, Wisconsin, gives the
subjoincd description of a Natural Bridge dis.
covered in that region
AT the mouth of the west branch of Pine Riv.
er is a great curiosity natural bridge almost
az wonderful as the one over Cedar Creek, in
Virginia. Here stream much larger than Ce-
dar Creek is spanned by bridge Of rock and
earth, the handiwork Of nature herself The
west branch Of Pine river flows through n most
beautiful and fertile valley eastward till it nears
the main stream, where high bluff seems TO
prevent the meeting Of the waters But "where
there's a viii there's a way" and the branch
finds an opening through the high bluff that
skirts the western shore Of Pine river, and
their waters iiiingle aud muTmur on together
towards the grea father of waters" Here is
a natural tunne, fro'u fifteen to twenty feet
wide and twelve feet high right through q
rocky hill, whose altitude is eighty feet, aud
covered over with tall pines and foiaeed down
TO both rivers with dense growth Of evergreen.
The bridge is wide enough to drive three teams
abreast and from its location have no doubt a

Coming Home.

o brothers and sisters, growing old,
DO you all remember yet
That home, in the shade OF the rustling trees,
Where once all our household met?
Do you know how we used to come from school,
Through the summer IS pleasant heat;
With the yellow fennels golden dust
On our tired little feet?
And how sometimes in an idle motn
We loitered by the way;
And stopped in the woods TO ga her flowers,
And in the fields to play;
Till warned by the deepn ming shadows fall,
That told of tie coming night,
We climbed to the top Of the last, long hill,
And saw our home in sight,
And brothers and sisters, older now
Than she whose life is DER,
Do you think OF the mothers loving face,
That looked from the open door?
Alas, for the changing things of time;
That home in the dust is low;
And that loving smile was hid iromus,
In the darkness, long ago.
And we have come to life's last hill,
From which our weary eyes
Can almost look on that home that shines
Eternal in the skies.
So, brothers and sisters, a We go,
Still let US move as one,
Always together keeping step,
Till tn march of life is done;
For that mother, who waited for us here,
Wearing smile so sweet
Now waits on the hill of paradise
For her children's coming feet

MUST BE VIGOROUSLY PROsEoUTED Even
Mr. Russe Of the London Times. little dispo-
sed as he is to look with favor upon the Federal
Government and it's ca use, admits that a vigor-
ous prosecution of the war--especialy since
the disaster at Bull Run--llas become an i'm
perative necessity. Even to hint mt peace
now, he insists, would be fatal not only to the
issue of the conflict, but to the welfare of the
loyal states. Mr. Russell says
''The North must do so vigorously prose-
cute the war oven if separation comes, for
there could not and would not be an honorable
peace if it allowed an unavenged defeat in
contest where the victofs have announced be-
forehand that the vctors were destitute of cour-
age and manhood 1t would not be possible for
the North to live on terms of decent amity with
the South, If the leaders on both sides were to
| agree on a meeting tomorrow. The violence
and triumphant ubilation of the conquerors,
would render it mere armistice of short dura
tion."
This IS SO selfevident that none but fool or
a knaye can doubt il. He who even hints at
peace now, is both hunkey aud traitor
He who would so much az permit the word
compromise to pass his lips before the dis
grace OF the Virginia route has been retrieved,

From Darnsfown.

DARSsrowN, Sept. 49, Yesterday several
shells were thrown at the enemy at Edwards
Ferry when they disappeared.
Nothing new has transpired along the line OF
the Potomac.
An order has been issued to reduce personal
baggage to the lowest possible standard
Yesterday an unauthorized scouting party from
the 34th New York regiment went across the Po-
tomac near the mouth of the Seneca, and were
attacked by superior party of the enemy. One
of our men were killed outright and several
wounded. One of the latter was shot through
the cheek, but fed, pursued by the attacking par
ty. On reaching a creek he threw in his gun and
plunged in himself. laying on his back and resting
his head upon a stone with his mouth and nostrils
above the water He evaded his pursuers. Three
hours afterwards he crawled to the river bank
and escaped. His companions who were con.
cealad on the Maryland side, discovered and res
cued him while making vain attempts to swim
across.
These incursions, which can be productive OF
no good to the cause, are condemned by expert
enced officers.
The ID Rhode Island brigade stationed near
the mouth of the Seneca shelled yesterday an en-
campment of rebels nearly opposite, and it is be-
lieved several were killed. The enemy did not
respond, probably for want of artillery.
This morning it was discovered by General
Stones pickets, near Conrad Ferry, that the
enemy during the previous night, had commenced
and partially constructed entrenchment on the
Virginia side, about 500 feet from the slope
facing the river. One of our light batteries open
ed upon it about nine o'clock, and after twenty OF
thirty rounds nothing was to be seen of the enemy
and little of the results OF their labors.
For some days past conversations have been
held between own and rebels pckets, from
which it has been discovered that the latter be
long to the ID Richmond cavalry, who were anx-
ious to exchange late Richmond papers for the
leading Union journals, but our pickets declined
