THE Two VISIONS.

Midnight once more! How YEARLY the hours so by !!
How painfully and slow;
Not one faint CLEAN of light illumes my stormy sky,
To soothe this dreary Woe
No sleep for many cherries day and stsress night
My weary eyes hath best;
Still morning again aud brings with it no light,
Night comes and brings rest.
Wild orturing ho's go rushing mady thro the brain
Thoughts crying to be free =
While every heart beat is a heavy throb ofpain,
And life moaning sea.
The night but darker grows; the waves but higher rs
My struggling soul to toss-
When suddenly two visions pass before my eyes,
Chrst's agony Gross.
THE AGONY.
"Father, If it be possible let this pass by =
But oh, thy will be done !"
From sad and lone Gethsemane went up the cry
OF Gods beloved Son.
Alone He prayed and wept Alone! Oh, who can tell
The anguish of that night,
When round the pure and holy One such darkness fell
With cold and whitening blight
Oh eyes of mine, that could weep BEFORE weep
Pour forth your ike rain
See the cold drops of agony upon H is brow,
Behold that look of pain!
Oh murmuring heart of mine, be humbled in the dust
Think thou Gods dear Son.
And in thine agony, like Him, with perfect trust
Pray thou, "Thy will be done"

A Batch OF HABEAs CORPUS CASES; HE
PRISONERS AT CAMP RANDALL.-Some days since
the suDreme court granted writ of habeas corpus
on anplieation Of Mr.. Cotzhausen, OF Milwaukee
on behalf of drafted man in Waukesha county
who has voted tor many years but has never taken
out his full naturalization papers. The writ was
made reurnable to-day, The court met this NOR
ming, and postponed the hearing of the argument
in the case until the 9th inst.
Upon the application of Mr. Cunning, of Ozau'
kee writs were also granted in the cases OF sew
eral of the Ozauk ee prisoners at Camp Randall.
These were directed to Brig. Gen. Elliot com
handing the northwestern department. The
court made these returna Die on the 10th inst.
Mr.. Cunning also desired to take out writ in
behalf of the remaining prisoners in camp, but
the court declined acting in this wholesale man
per Its understood that E. Ryan and n l.
Palmer, of Milwaukee, will submit Arguments in
these cases on the 10th inst. The scheme is un
doubleday of q political nature and the speeches
will be mainly for the purpose of exciting politica
feeling
! Gen. Elliot will doubtless set up the President:
proclamation suspending the writ ofhabeas corpus
in return to the writs issued for the prisoners ir
camp, when Messrs. Ryan and Palmer will pro
coed to urge upon the court the propriety of over
aumsng to hear Messrs Ryan and Palmer urging

sE-The RichmondWhig of the 18th ut says,
that civil liberty is menaced within the Con-
federacy by the very men who were foremost
in stirring up the war. From being rigid con-
structionists, they have become the advocates
of mere power; and it is reported very cur
rently that scheme of consolidation is on
foot, and that views precisely such as those
which Alexander Hamilton succeeded in dis
seminating so widely and rendering so popu-
lar and potential in the old Union, are exten-
sively held in the South; that the Confederate
Government Is to be assinated to that of
Great Britain; that an aristocracy is to be es-
tablished, and wealth made in the beginning
the passport to place and power. But the
Wing warns statesmen and others against the
consequences of this design. 1t says:
"The whole body of the Southern people are
an arstocracy, and no community is more
jealous for an absolute equality of rights and
privileges than community of aristocrats
The attempt to degrade such community,
and TO establish a privileged class over its
head, will be certain ruin to those who make
it. 1t is a scheme which will suddenly and ig-
ANONYMOUSLY fall as soon as discovered, and
which will involve its foolish projectors in utter
ruin. 1t could not succeed in the South, even
if the judiciary were silenced by martial law,
the press overthrown, and every safeguard of
civil liberty broken down. The people, i'm
PEELED by that same spirit in which they have
met and overthrown the power of the public
enemy, would turn upon the pigmies at home
and annihiate them with breath"

LOUISVILLE. Oct. 9.

LOUISVILLE, Oct 2.
The journal is informed of a sharp skirrn-
ish last night between Gen. Sill's advance and
1900 rebel cavalry, at Floyd's Fork, the enemy
being posted on the surrounding hills. We re-
pulsed them, but they returned. We then
brought our artillery against them, when they
again fed.
We captured in an old house in that vicinity,
forty thousand rounds of ammunition.
Heavy artillery firing was heard on the
Shelbyvile road, sixteen miles distant, at nine
this morning. Result unknown.
The Journal also says skirmish occurred
this morning, five miles distant, on the Bards-
town road. The rebels were repulsed. Their
loss is unknown. Our loss was twenty-five in
killed and wounded.
Cannonading has been heard near Mount
Washington, in the vicinity of Salt River
Gen. G.. w. Morgan, with his whole force
from Cumberland Gap, has reached the Ohio
river opposite Portsmouth.
The rebels evacuated Shelbyvile last night,
first compelling the storekeepers to receive
Confederate scrip for what they wanted At
Paris, KY, all the storekeepers except two Sc
cesh. sent their goods away. The rebels pro-
cured OF the two supply of blankets, paying
IN confederate script The blankets giving out

pets for banketing. The secesh storekeepers
declined receiving confederate script for the
carpets, when they were arrested and put in
jail for discrediting confederate script.
We learn that Kirby Smith has been play
ing the same game upon several secesh store
keepers at Lexington.

mated in the absence OF such written assent:
or if the collector doubts the correctness of
the tare as specified in the invoice. it will be

SPRINGFIELD. Mo. Oct. 2.

SPRINGFIELD, NO., Oct 2
A highly responsible and reliable gentleman
who has enjoyed advantageous opportunities
for ascertaining the number and locations of
the rebel forces menacing our Southern bor-
ders, and who has been in some of their camps
within ten days, represents that in Newton
county, five miles South of CRANKY, there are
forty-fire hundred rebels under command of
Coffee and Shelby. Seven miles West of
Neoshoin the same county, are seven thousand
under command of Gen. Cooper, brother of
the Adjntant General of the rebel army Half
of this number under Cooper are Indians, all
well armed. At Pea Ridge. Gen. Rains has
4,500 and Gen. Carroll 1900. South of For
syth, just over the Arkansas line, Gen Passions
has 5000 near Parsons toward the East is
Gen. Mcbride with about 5000; at Little Rock
Gen. Holmes has 1900.
The above force shows an aggregate force of
10000 rebels; of this, 5000 are either within
the boundaries of Missouri, or in its Southern
lines. The whole force is under command OF
Gen. Holmes.
The rebels in all the camps indulge coiident
expectations of wintering in st. Louis, and
entertaining not Il shadow of doubt of their
ability to do so.
The conscript act of the Confederate States
is in full force in Newton aud Mcdonald coun-
ties. All citizens Of the requisite age are
seized and compelled to enter the rebel service
or leave the county. Many prominent citizens
of these counties have fled TO avoid the con-
scription.
Gen. Hndman is under arrest arising from
a misunderstanding between himself and Pike,
the cause OF which Is unknown.

FROM WASHINGTON. The correspondent
of the New York Post says the treasury al
ready begins to feel the operation of the new
tax law. The Golfers already contain revenues
obtained under the new tax bill. Half a mil
lion of dollars have been received 1t is be-
lieved that the increasing revenues of the gov
ernment cannot fail to strengthen government
securities. and to diminish the almost frightful
premium upon gold. The writer also says:
"The emancipation proclamation is received
very well in Western Virginia, and in the por-
ton OF Virginia near this city. A number of
men IN Alexandria and Loudon counties, who
have inclined to secession sentiments hereto
lore, since the invasion of Maryland and the
proclamation of emancipation, have come out
decided men. One of the substantial Virginia
Farmers was In town yesterday, and he made
the remark upon the proclamation that at last
the government had put its heel on the sore
spot OF the rebellion, adding: Now that slav-
cry is to be abolished the end is certain. and |
cast in my fortune with the party which |
know must finally triumph The proclama-
tion makes constant headway here"
The Portland daily press., 1862-10-03

THE GREAT DRAWBACK. Col. Forney
makes the following observations, which con-
tain altogether too much truth:
The great drawback in the prosecution of
the war is the habit of many, in and out of
the army, in office and out of office, who
think they are loyal, and yet who cannot rid
themselves of the prejudices of party or of
social life lnsensibly, such people accustom
themselves to indifference TO the great crime
OF the rebellion, and to a habit OF criticising
what they think the errors of the Administra-
ton. hold it as a fact that i'm all my exper-
ience L have never yet known to be success
fully contradicted, that whenever statesman
or soldier allows himself to chaff against
Black Republicanism and Abolitionism," he
generally, and at last, comes to consider Seces-
sion as moderate ofense, that may be ready
excused and easily defended"

- The HORTICULTURAL ExuIBITIoN.-The
exhibition Of the horticultural Society closed
last evening. 1t is the most successful one the
society has ever held, both in regard to the
fruits, flowers, &c. exhibited, and the number
of visitors to it. The articles were yesterday
removed into the large hall, where they made
fine show. But the unpleasant weather pre-
vented very numerous attendance of visitors
Still the lar ge attendance at this exhibition is
an evidence that our people begin TO realize
the Importance of this Association. 1t is one
of the most active means for the promotion of
the cultivation of the best fruits and vegeta-
bles that could be desired
We have before stated that the profits of
this exhibition would be given to the Ladies'
Sanitary Committee. One of the gentlemen
who exhibited fruit at the exhibition, and who
has been awarded a premium, has given that
up for the same purpose, and he suggests that
all those to whom premiums may be awarded
should donate them to the Ladies' Committee.
1t is capital suggestion, and more especially
just at this time, when the treasury of the
Ladies is about empty, and the calls are press
ing for articles of comfort for our sick and
wounded soldiers.

THE FATE OF SLAvERY-The Baltimore
American, which does not consider theiissu-
ing of the emancipation proclamation a judic-
ious movement, says nevertheless:
For all the evils of war which curse the
land it must be remembered that slavery
duotcs Its responsibility. Itproudly claims it,
rs we have said-and let none marvel, there
fore, at seeing blows dealt it wherever they
may seem effective. The time for trifling is
past; and whilst men may speculate profound
ly on primary cause and effect, on what this
or that clause OF the Constitution may permit
in dealing with men who defy it altogether,
slavery is being pushed to the wall to perish
there. As we have long since shown, it did
not perish in legitimate manner in Mexico,
but it perished as the consequence of revolu-
ton, and So it is destined to perish here Its
fate-as matters tend-will be told in words
of another revolutionist to those who would
vindicate its past prerogatves: "Will you
never forego argument tcih men pho cedr
spords y"

sB- The BaEk of England directors had
terrible fright two or three weeks ago--not on
account of the loss of their water-marked
paper, but from che summary invasion of the
bullion room of the Bank. A correspondent
of the Birmingham Post tells the story thus:
"The directors received an anonymous let
ter, stating that the writer had the means of
aseess to their bullion room. They treated the
matter as hoax, and took no notice of the
letter. Another more urgent and specific let
ter failed to rouse tlid1n. At length the writer
offered to meet them In the bullion room at
any hour they pleased to name. They then
communicated with their correspondent
through the channel he had indicated, appoint
ing some dark and midnight hour Tor the
rendezvous. A deputation from the board,
lantern in hand, repaired to the bullion room,
locked themselves in, and awaited the arrival
of the mysterious correspondent. Punctual
to the hour a noise was heard below. Some
boards in the floor were without much trouble
displaced, and in few minutes the Guy
Fawkes of the bank stood in the midst of the
astonished directors. His story was very sim
pie and straightforward. An old drain run
under the bullion room, the existence of which
had become known TO him, and by means of
which he might have carried away enormous
sums. Inquiry was made. Nothing had been
distracted, and the directors rewarded the
honesty and ingenuity of their anonymous cor
respondent-a working man, who had been
employed in repairing the sewers-by pre-
sent of $500"
