Where sunless rivers weep
Their waves into the deep,
She sleeps q charmed sleep;
Awake her not.
Led by single star,
She came from very Tar,
To seek where shadows are
Her pleasant lot.
She left the rosy morn,
She left the fields of corn,
For twilight cold and lorn,
And water-springs.
Through sleep, as through veil,
She sees the sky look pale,
And hears the nightingale,
That sadly sings.
Rest, rest, perfect rest,
Shed over brow and breast:
Her face is toward the west,
The purple land.
She cannot see the grain,
Ripening on hill and plain;
She cannot feel the rain
Upon her hand.
Rest, rest, forevermore
Upon NOISY shore,
Rest, rest. that shall endure
Till Time shall cease;-
Sleep that no pain shall wake,
Night that no morn shall break,
Till joy shall overtake
Her perfect peace.

WY SHOULD TREY SINK?-The excitement
of ''the chase e'has always been supposed to
have healthfnl tendency; but there is kind

mean the headlong, underwriting hunt after
"the almighty dollar" which is the great bu-

begets other evils unnecessary to name) which
precipitates the fate of thousands There is
however, a possibility of recovery from the
prostration prodaced by these causes, long af.
ter their victim has ceased to hope for it. II
we are rightly informed, the most astonishing
cures of what is called general weakness and
debility, which has never been known in this
country, have been effected through The agens

Mere skeletons of men, out Of whom the very
principle OF vitality seemed to have been drain

the operation of the Pills; and of the Ointment,
IN eases Of paralysis, rheumatism, &c, we hear
an equally favorable account. If men will
break down their energies by over exertion-
if in their anxiety to go ahead they will over
ride the most precious of Gods blessings
healIh-it is well they should know how to
repair the mischief, when they come at last
to realize the fact OF their premature decay

Gen. G. W. Morgan in Danger.

According TO tie news from Cumberland
Gap and its vicinity, the FedeFul division at
that point, under Gen G. w. Morgan, is in
a critical condition. The enemy, besides con-
fronting him in large force has, it appears,
captured Somerset and London aad taken
position in large force in his rear. If kae dis
patches are true a force in his front and u
ioece in his rear the latter having partially
or entirely cut off his supplies, are about to
attack him simultaneously. In that event,
probably nothing but the greaest fertility Of
resources or the most desperate bravery or
both can save him aud his division from cap
ture or annihilation. dIeaven grant that de
may be able, if not to dcleat the rebels, at
deast to hold oHt until The glorious inpouring
regments from Indiana and Ohio shall come
10 his rescue. He and his gallant division
will do all that men can do; they would work
miracles if soldiers could work them; yet every
potriotic heart must await with intense and
painful anxiety the arrival Of further intelli-
gence as to their condition.
The capture of General Morgans division
would be a deplorable affair. 1t would leave
a large portion of Kentucky for a time at the
mercy of the rebels Lou. Jour.

General Mcclellan and most Of his staff
went BY land.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The New York
Times of this morning says of the various re-
ports of the movements of the Army of the
Potomac: The explanation is simply that
Mcclellan stayed till the last, and that the
Government kept giving prominence to his
location while permitting nothing to be said
that of his army. Apprehensions begin to Zoe
expressed that the rebels, finding it impossi-
bic to pursue Mcclellan for want of transpor-
taton, will suddenly concentrate, by means of
their railroads, in pope's front at Gordonyile,
and make a desperate effort to overwhelm
,him before support can now reach him.
No fears are expressed of danger from such
a plan, but the probability of its being at
tempted causes the expectation of a speedy
renewal of active work beyond Culpeper
1t is stated at the rate the new levies are
now moving forward to their destination, six
ty thousand reinforcements could be given Pope
and Mcclellan within the week.

What the Rebels Think of the New Levy.

We received last night advices from the
North, which, though not so late that We pub
lish in another column, hrings news of an im-
poFtant character. The North has at last
settled the question of immediate drafting, and
the Secretary of War has issued an order for
six hundred thousand men "to crush the re-
bellion" = three hundred thousand to be rails
ed und r the recent call of Lincoln, aud three
hundred Thousand more by draft Of the mil
itin. The order appears officially in the
Northern papers, but the circumstances under
which we issue this mornings paper forbid
its publication.
This action OF th9 Government at Washing
ton had created the widest excitement in the
North, and the war excitement had greatly
subsded in its enthusiasm. The opposition
to the order was not 10 be disguised.
The Examiner then copies extracts from
n orthern papers on the subject, and con-
cludes:
Brief as these paragraphs arc, they are
enough 10 show that this order for drai
will cause an immense reaction in the poput
lar mind of the North, and we shall await the
next news from the North and Northwest

Preparations for a DRAFT.

On Saturday orders were sent from the War
Department to the Governor of the loyal
States regulating the manner of drafting for
the last three hundred thousand men. These
regulations vii be read with great interest by
all who come within the prescribed ages. The
military force of the States are to be enrolled
Commissioners viii be appointed to conduct
the process Of drafting aud all claims fer ex-
emption are to be made to them. At the ap-
pointed day, the names of all subject to militry
duty are written upon ballets and placed in
oox or wheel. A biindfolded person draws
from this lot as many ballots as there are men
required from that precinct, and the persons
thus drawn viii be the drafted men, These
men win Fave a reasonable time in which TO
procure substitutes. At the expiration of
that time they report themselves at the rendez-
vous appointed by the Governor and attach
themselves or substitutes to companies The
commander Of the rendezvous has charge of the
election and appointment ofolIicers. The OIL
GERS will be selected in accordance with the
military law Of each State. In Ohio, therefore,
they will be elected by the men themselves.
WhifcnO bounty or advance payment will
be made the drafted men, both viii be paid
to those wlo, escaping The draft, shall enlist in
the old regiments. Thus the stimulus will be
kept up to promote the very important worl,
Of keeping those ranks fall.
At the lime of the draft, the unfinished com
paIues ana regiments Of volunteers viii be con
solidated, that the volunteer and conscript
force may be kept distinct. This Of course
must Be done, as endless confusion would en-
sue if nine months drafted men and thyee
years volunteers were mingled in the same
regizssts.
