Mrs. stoves Description of Rome.

One of the new chapters of Mrs. Stoves
Agnes of Sorrento" contains the following
beautiful description of Rome:
A vision rises upon US from the land OF
shadows. We see a wide plain, miles
and miles in extent, rolling in soft bill
lows of green, and girded on all sides by blue
mountains, whose silver crests cleaning in
the setting sunlight tell that the winter still
fingers on their tops, though spring has
decked ell the plain. Sc silent, so lonely,
so fair is this waving expanse, with its
guardian mountains, it might De some wild
solitude, an American prairie, or Asiatic
steppe, but that in the midst thereof, On
some billows of rolling land, we discern q
city, sombre, quaint and old--a city of
dreams and mysteries-a city OF the living
and the dead And this is Rome-weird,
wonderful, ancient, mighty Rome--mighty
once by physical force and grandeur, mighty
now i'll physical decadeoce and weakness by
the spell OF potent moral enchantment.
As the sun is moving westward the whole
air around becomes flooded with iumin-
ousness which seems TO transluse itself with
pervadipg presence through every part OF
the city, and make ali its ruinous and mos
sy age bright and living. The air shivers
with the silver vibrations OF hundreds OF bells
and the evening glory goes up and down,
soft-tooted and angelic, transfigurating ell
things. The broken columns OF the Forum
seem TO swim in golden mist, and luminous

gleam from roof and wall within. And it
goes, too, across the Tiber, up the filthy and
noisome Ghetto. Here, hemmed in by
ghostly superstition, the sons of Israel are
growing up without vital day, like wan
white plants in cellars; and the black
mournful obelisks of the expresses in the
villas around it touches with solemn glory.

enhanced by the tender being made, not
like so many of the kind, at the beginning
of our acquaintance and my work, but at
parting and after the work is done.
The emotions which these mementOes OF

Lord Lyons Opinion Of the Southern
States.

Lord Lyons in letter 70 Earl Russell,
under date of December 18th, thus expires,
ses his opinion of the Southern Confede-
racy:
This overwhelming notion of their own
importance may lead to very serious incon
venience, if they should succeed in estab.
fishing their independence. Our need OF
their cotton is quite great enough to render
it extremely desirable that we should be on
good terms with them, and encourage any
disposition which they may show to place
their commercial relations with Us Oh mu.
tually advantageous footing. We might be
willing to consider that a quarrel with
them would give US no means of anchor
ating the condition of their slaves, while
it would bring great deal of hard-
ship and safericg upon vast numbers
of our cwn working people. But
still it must ever be repugnsnt to our
feelings to ba in intimate relations with
confederation formed on the avowed prin
ciple OF perpetuatiDg if not extending sla.
very. Unless the seeding States can be
induced to act with moderation upon the
question OF slavery they may rouse feel
ing of Indignation and horror in Great
Britain which will overpower all consider
alton of material interest. Of this many
of their leading me- in the present move-
ment do not seem to be aware. Some of
them even talk openly of reviving the AT.
rican slave trade. An attempt actually to
do this would, it may be supposed, be at
once put down by the united force of the
Northern States, Great Britain and of civ
ilized Europe. But, on the other hand, it
might be extremely difficult to bring any
of the slaveholding States to renounce, in
principle, the right of trading in negroes.
or to induce them to enter into any treaty or
engagement on the subject. Any such en-.
gagement would be regarded by them as an
admission that they were in the wrong on
the question on which their contest with
the North has so infamed their passions
that they have lost sight of all reason.
How could they bind themselves not to ex-
tend to larger numbers of Africans the
blessings of the institution of American
slavery, which they hold to be ordained oi
God for the happiness and improvement Of
the negro race? 1t is to be apprehended
that we shall have very considerable diff

The last public act of the lamented
General Lander was to promote Private
Cannon for bis bravery at Bloomery Gap,
and his last public speech was the follow
ing, on the presentation of colors to the
Sixty-sixth Ohio Volunteers, Colonel Can
dy, on the 22d of February
You have asked me to present to you this
regimental fag-this emblem of the hopes,
prayers and devotion of those at home. Do
not soil such memories, do not betray such
trust. Let no mean, dastardly act disgrace
the fervOr which it represents, the high faith
which in the donation of this banner follows
required of you to fight that some bright
morning, with this gallant flag flung out, bands
playing our national airs, drums beating to
the chivalrous onset, you are to be led to vic
tory. Soldiers, much more is demanded OF
you. Remember that your adversaries are
your fellow citizens. Burn no dwellings,
frighten no women and children. Go to battle
with noble thoughts, high motives, and the
consciousness that the eyes of your General
are upon you. Bear the march steadfastly,
obey orders cheerfully, have no small bicker-
ing amongst yourselves. Let the holy phrase,
comrades in battle, cause you to live, to res
pect and to bear with each other. Within the
last twenty four hours one gallant private has
been promoted for bravery before the enemy.
Therefore have faith in yourselves, and will
find you opportunities and see that you are
rewarded. Fellow.soldiers Of the Sixty-sixth
regiment, l transfer to you, in behalf of the
donors, their gift-this flag. Never desert it.
Rally around It while you are alive it shall
wave over you when you are dead and if
each one of you were to live thousand years,
believe that you can find no n0bler opportuni-
ty to die than beneath its folds for liberty and
the rights of free government, and the cause
it represents.

A Tfue Patriot.

In the Cincinnati Times, 9th inst, we
find the following sketch of speech de-
liyered by prominent man in Ohio, at
late war meeting. 1t should be read by
every man in the Union, and especially
in Pennsylvania, where we have so many
whose conduct is very little short of the
rankest treason. One thing, we think, is
clearly established. that wherever you
find conditional Union man, you can
set him down at once as an unconditional
traitor. But to the noble little speech in
question. Says the Times
Patrick M'Groarty, Esq, of this city,
made speech at Springfield, Ohio, on
Saturday. Mr.. M'Groarty said: "He
was an old line Democrat. AS a Demo.

to men to 90 to war to put down the re-

ion, and then settle political questions
about it. 1t didn't make any difference
whether Joshua Giddings or Jeff. Davis
got up the rebellion. There it is--we see
who is in it, and we must Fut it down.
He appealed to the old Democrats. He
would ask them Are you going to see
the Constitution upset and the Union dis
solved, because YOU think some one up in
Ashtabula county may 90 to Congress !
