Military Matters.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4.-The following dis
patch was received from New York this
morning
New YORK, Feb. Ave have late and
important news from the Home Squadron.
On the 10th of January, the Commander in
Chief of the feet received orders, through
Colonel Pickens. at Washington, to send
Immediately to Florida the U S. steam frie
ate PowhataD, the Sabine, and the sailing
corvette St. Louis. A sham boat-battle was
soon after improyised off SACRIFICES, when
the usual routine of action was gone through
with.
A critical examination of the position of
the squadron demonstrated the fact that ey-
cry ship was short of provisions, and that it
would be madness to send them probably on
hostile mission in such a state. The i'm
preston prevailed extensively, that the YES
sells would go 10 Havana for provisions, and
obey the instructions of Mr.. Toucey. Sc
rious disafection prevailed among some of
the officers of the Powhatan, when her des-
tination became known. The Sd and 1st
Lieutenants and the Purser Immediately
rendered their designations, but the Captain,
while conditionally accepting them, refused
to allow their return to the steamer. The
most intense excitement existed in the
squadron, and it was found necessary to
issue an order prohibiting all officers from
conveying political news or naval move
ments in their letters, as they would be
opened and read.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times tel
egraphs on the I'd:
Col. Haynes communication to the Pres
ident, was completed and delivered at a late
hour last evening. In it the demand is
made for the surrender of the forts. First.
on the ground of rights of eminent domain
in sovereignty; and secondly, On'the ground
of the right of the sovereignty to condemn
to the public use any property necessary
for its own protection and independence, by
paying therefor a fair compensation.
The document assumes the complete in
dependence of South Carolina, and this as
sumption takes with it the first proposition.
In the second head he argues, that the
position of the Administration is absurd, il
the forts be regarded as property only, and
the purpose be to protect it.
He considers the various ways OF protect
ing property and shows that collision will
not afford protection, whether the fort, be
taken or not, and the property will be in
Jured. This injury, he says, can be avoid
ed and every dollar secured, as South Car
DINA pledges herself to pay its full value.
The communication proceeds to consider
the result of refusal to settle the question
as one of property, one ofdollars and cents,
as the Government has based its whole &C.
ton an the idea of protecting property.
Col. Hayne contends that the question
should be considered one invoking property
alone. AS such it could be easily arranged.
He says futher, that he is instructed to as
sure the President, that any attempt to re-
inforce will be considered a declaration of
war. sass. asa
The Cabinet was in session to-day on the
communication.
The. anticipation is that the President will
only reply to Col. Hayne, that he viii send
a communication to Congress. and that he
viii reply to his reasoning in special mes
sage. This course deprives Col. Hayne of
a. rejoinder. He leaves on Monday. He
thinks there win be no attack on Fort Sum-
ter, until the organization of the Southern
Republic. unless, an attempt be made to re-
inforce. Cap. Ingraham, OF. Koszta celeb
rity rendered his written resignation yester-
day TO the Sec'y, who declined 10 receive it,
and begged him to consider. He agreed to
withhold it till to-day, when he win insist
on its acceptance.

COUNTRY PARSONS LIFE,

You walk in shady lanes; you stand and
look and look at the rugged bark of old
trees you help to pruue evergreens, you
devise flower gardens and winding walks.
You talk to pigs, and smooth down the
legs Of horses. You sit on messy walls,
and saunte- by the river side, and thro'
woodland paths. You grew familiar with
the internal arrangements OF poor mems
dwellings,; you see much of men and wo.
men in these solemn seasons when all pre-.
tcnces are laid aside; and they speak with
confidence to you of their little cares and
fears, for this world and the other. You
kneel down and pray by the bedside of
many sick !; and you know the look of the
dying face we'll. Young children whom
you have humb ly sought to instruct in the
best of knowledge, have passed away from
this life in your presence, telling you in
interrupted sentences whittier they trust
ed they were going, and bidding you
not forget to meet them there You
feel the touch of the weak fingers still
the parting request is not forgotten. You
mark the spring blossoms come back; and
you walk among the harvest sheaves in
the autumn evening. And when you ride
up the parish on your duty you feel the
influence of bare and lonely tracks, whore,
ten miles from home, you sometimes dis.
mount from your horse and sit down on a
gray stone by the wayside, and look for an
hour at the heather at your feet, and at
the sweeps of purple moor'and far away.
You 60 down to the churchyard frequently;
you sit on the gravestone of your prede-
cessor who died two hundred years sco
and you count five, six, seven spots where

THE ROSES.

Just when the red June Roses blow
She gave me one--a year ago;
A Rose whose crimson breath revealed
The secret that its heart concealed,
And whose half shy, half tender grace
\ year ago-a year ago
To hope was not to know.
Just when the RED June Roses blow
! plucked her one-a month ago;
It's half-blown crimson to eclipse,
] laid on her smiling lips;
The balmy fragrance of the south
Drew sweetness from her sweeter mouth,
Swiftly do golden hours creep,
To hold is not to keep.
The red June Roses now are past,
This very day broke the last
And now its perfumed breath is hid,
With her beneath coffin lid
There will its petals fall apart,
And wither on her icy heart:
At three red Roses cost
Ny word was won and lost.
