Peace to the Soldier.

Know the conscious stars vii weep
Their radiant tears upon his grave,
And angels faithful vigils keep
Near one 80 loved, 50 good and brave.
Come wind that lutters 10 the west,
Come bear my grief to that lone grave.
Where sleeps the friend loved the best,
With more than an immortal love.
Kiss ye the trembling grass that grows
Above his consecrated bed,
And sweeter than the sweetest rose
Be summer flowers above his head.
Around him fold the twilight dim,
So that his sleep shall feel no pang;
And tell the birds to sing to him
The sweetest songs they ever sang.
Tell We the lake TO murmur low,
And tell the storm its wrath 10 cease;
Tell ye the streams that near him flow
To flow in gentleness and peace.
At morn the dew shall deck the grave,
And shadows mantle it al noon,
Where lies the ever good and brave
Whose hour Of parting came too soon.
God bless thee, soldier. Prayers shall rise
Like this to Him for thee-for mine
And daily offerings from our eyes
Shall crown thy memory 5 sacred shrine.
Tho stars that 'lume a distant sky
Shall kiss thy grave with lips of light,
Still. every day, pilgrim,
To thee, in love, shall wing my flight.

A NOBLE old horse belonging to the Regmar
Battery, formerly Magruder's, went to James
Island and was so wounded as to be unfit for
battery service he was turned loose and, as
the battery refused to own him, he hung
around the camp, eating with the other horses
when they were fed. One day when the bat
terry was out drilling, he fell into the ranks on
the gun with which be used to drill and went
through the whole exercise When the men
left, they intended to leave him on the Island :;
but the patriotic veteran had no idea of follow
ing the example of his former commander and
going over to the rebels, or of being taken by
them, and so crowded in with the other horses
when they were put aboard.

WONDERS OF NArURE.-A little plant is
found upon the prairies of Texas, called the
compass flower" which, under all circum-
stances of climate, changes of weather-rain,
frost or sunshine-invariably turns its leaves
and flowers towards the north, thus afording
an unerring guide to the traveller, who, unad-
ed by the needle, seeks TO explore those vast
plains alone.
There is plant in the island of Sumatra, the
circumference of whose fully expanded flower
is nine feet its nectarium is calculated to
hold nine pints the pistils are as large as COW
horns, and the whole weight of the blossom is
computed to be fifteen pounds.

VEGETATION IN THE MooY.-It was for a
long time the common conclusion among as
tronomers that the moon was without an
atmosphere and destitute of water: and that.
consequently, neither animal nor vegetable life
could be supported on its surface. But seve-
raj eminent modern astronomers have main
tanned that the moon has an atmosphere. tho
Of very limited extent. And quite recently
Mr.. Schwabe, a German astronomical professor,
thinks he has discovered signs Of vegetation on
the surface of our satellite. 1t is well known
that there are certain lines or scratches, as
they appear. extending across the slopes of the
highest mountains in the moon. These have
been variously xplained-some regarding them
as the beds OF dried up streams, others as the
channels left by torrents of lava, others as
having some other origin. Professor Schwabe
claims 10 have discovered in these lines a
greenish COLOR which appears at certain sea-
son, lasts few months, and then disappears
He therefore regards these lines as belts of
vegetation If his observations should be de-
oisively confirmed by those of other astrouo-
mers, it will settle the question that the moon
has both air aud water, and will therefore
remove any presumption against the existence
of life on its surface.

The N. Y, Times gives lengthy des-
cription of the U, S. Navy as at present
aGoat, and adds:
From our resume it will be seen that
the entire strength Of our navy is close
upon three hmdrei vessels, nearly all Of
which are propelled by steam; and that
among those are two irOn-clad frigates,
twenty three iron-clad gunbOats, and a
good stock of the highly effective naval
weapon, the ram. OF the latter the num-
Der can be increased indefinitely, and
at any moment as they may be needed.
All we have TO do is to fit beall on to
any staunch steam craft, plate its most
vulnerable parts, and it is ready for ser
vice in sinking and destroying wooden
walls, or whatever else it can get a drive
at. In this way the magnificent ocean
steamship Vanderbilt was flied up in a
short time in tins post, and sent down to
Hampton Roads for a tilt with the Mor-
rimac; and the river ram fleet of Co. Ellet
was also turned out in the same way. In
case of a contest with naval Power, the
ram, we believe, would be one of our
most formidable weapons, Fifty of them,
stout and swift, cruising along our coast,
and il would be hard work for an enemy
to land troops anywhere on our shore, II
the Toe sent mailed conveys with his
transports the rams would simply dodge
the iron-clads and sink the transports, if
indeed they could not quickly destroy
! both
We believe that these three huudred
armed vessels are a match for any naval
force that any one, or any two foreign
Powers could send 10 these shores, and
that the same time they could keep the
rebels in easy check. We have, or will
have directly, a larger number of iron clad
vessels than England and France COM
bined, and of far more available and
destructive kind, Upon these we look
as the best guardians Of our liberty oul
Union and our independence, from any
and all foreign Intermediates,

AN INFAMOUS TRAITOR HANGED BY GIN.
DODGE.

Especial Dispatch n the Chicago THbuucl
CAIRO, July 20, 1862.
l have just arrived from Columbus
Two trains have arriyed-one on the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad, at seven o'clock
The accounts previously received of rebel
raids were greatly exaggerated. From
official information derive the following
account
Two hundred Of Jackson's cavalry
came TO the house Of a wealthy man
named Beadle, residing near Humboldt,
early yesterday morning, and as he was
about starting to pilot them 20 the bridge
inside our lines, he discovered a party of
six or seven Federal scouts riding to-
wards them; concealing himself behind
fence, Beadle directed the rebels to an
ambush from whence, upon the arrival
Of our men, they could pounce upon and
capture them. This plan, however, was
frustrated by young slave Of Beadle,
who, at the risk of his own life, started
across a cornfield and warned the FEEDER
ais of their peril, who at once turned back,
| holly pursued by the rebels. Only three
of our men succeeded in reaching Hum
boldt safely. One received ball in the
breast, with which he rode six miles,
dying soon after he reached the town.
| The other two were probably captured,
as they have not been seen. A portion
Of the rebels then proceeded to the
! bridge, six miles from Humboldt, driving
off the small force stationed there, and
set fire to it. Our men being reinforced
by a small party, drove the rebels
back towards the river, where they in
turn were reinforced, and the Federals
again driven back, and il was not until
our troops were reinforced from Hum
boldt that the rebels were put to fight.
Our men succeeded in extinguisbing the
fire after about sixty feet of the bridge
had been burned. Col. BissePs engineer
regiment was Immediately set at work,
and at 10 o'clock this morning the bridge
was repaired. In the meantime large
scouting parties were sent out in every
direction. Beadle and four others sup
posed TO have been connected with the
rebels were arrested in the afternoon, and
eight others during the night. Beadle
was at once tried and sentenced to be
hung this afternoon. He had taken the
oath of allegiance, which was found up
on his person. His house was also burn
ed, as well as the houses of the four 9TH
ers taken with him. On their retreat the
rebels burned bridge on the Mississippi
Central Road, eight miles from Memphis,
Active preparations were made at
Humboldt last night to meet the rebels,
an attack being expected, aud Gen. Lo-
gan threatened to set fire to the town
upon the first alarm. Heavy forces will
now guard the line of the Mobile and
Ohio Road all the way to Corintb, and
no more trouble is anticipated.
The following is a copy of a dispatch
received by Gen, Quinby, at Columbus
at o'clock this evening:
"TRENToN, Tenn, July 20, 1862.
"The man who guided the rebels &c
the bridge that was burned, was hung
to- day. He had taken the oath. The
houses of four others who aided have
been burned TO the ground.

Brigadier- General"

From tho Richmond Wing, July 81
We have received from Mr.. A. w. Cross,
Commissioner Of Warehouses at Lynch
burg, a statement of the quantity of to-
bacco received, weighed and inspected
at the several warehouses in that city,
for the year ending June so 1852 The
whole number of hogsheads weighing 500
pounds and over is 1862; parcels of
loose tobacco, 300 pounds and over, count
ed as hogsheads, 5,775; number of city
priced hogsheads, / 1929; number of hogs
heads on hand for inspection, 5l3 num-
Der on hand inspected, 5,l63; capacity
of the warehouses, $500 hogsheads
A letter in the Atlanta Confedcracy
from Lynchburg, dated 28th ult., says
Tobacco has now very decidedly the
ascendency over everything else within
the limits Of the Corporation. The to-
bacco mania seems to have run the entire
population stark mad. They talk about
the dirty, filthy weed by day, and
doubtless dream about it by night. Even
the darkeys have caught the infection,
and are specializing in tobacco, hoping
to make twenty cents out of a dimes
investment in less than month. The
existing excitement on the tobacco sensa-
ton has had no parallel in this country
since the morus-multilOol-u mania of
SO and 81"
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars have
been made in the last three months, by
men in this city, by the rapid advance
in the price of this staple commodity Of
the Old Dominion, and hundreds of thou
sands may be lost by other short-sighted
wights who imagine that tobacco will
continue to advance until it reaches the
Unprecedented and fabulous price of five
shinplaster dollars per pound. l find
men here from all parts Of the South
pitching into the speculation with a zest
and confidence that is truly astonishing
think nothing Of investing twenty five
or fifty thousand dollars in a single
day.
