Correction

In the case of a large haul Of Government
property" msntioned d by US yesterday, II see ms
that We we're misinformed as to the psrto oulSrs
Of the case, and were Enthusiastically led into
statements by which unjust reflections were
apparently thrown upon worthy and innocent
parties. Most of the goods mentioned we're
stored in the upper part of Msssrs. J. r. Barr
L Co.'s building, BY order of the qusrtermastsr
of the Ninth New Hampshire regiment, where
other military oficers stored their effects.
They were seized by the Government dsteo
uves, and turned over without proper knowl
edge Of the facts In the case. The goods have
just been ordered TO be restored 10 the former
custodian, and no collusion or improper dispo-
sition OF the articles was designed, as none OF
our citizans who know the respectable frm
sbovo mentioned, will, for N moment suppose.
We did not design any reflections upon Messrs.
Barr 4 Co. In the article referred TO, as we sup.
posed Mt the time, (and which proves 10 be the
facts in the case,) that the wareroom was hire
to the parties who used It, and the owners OF
The room felt no responsibility as to what was
stored-ihsye beyond their pay for the room
ossdpied.

Tho ssressAaiiway

Is q matter of a good deal of interest to many
OF our citizens, especially those who live
" along the lines " The main road from the
Navy Yard to Georgetown is now in succ essful
operation, and 10 fully appreciated by tho pub
lie, II wa may Judge from The amount Of pat
ronage bestowed upon 1t. The Seventh street
branches are nearly completed Tho company
would have finished these ere this time, but for
the dific ulty in obtaining the iron railing,
caused partly by lack Of transportation and
partly By the cessation of labor In the Penn
sylvania iron works, the latter produced by the
patriotic pouring out of the State militia, by
which workshops were completely emptisd for
shout week.
By next week, there will be sufficient iron
here, and the Seventh street road will be fn
ishod and In running order ut once.
Within little more than three weeks, the
contractor expects 10 complete tho whole road
and it's branches.

a NEGRO Decides 10 60 with the Confsd-

An amusing episode occurred In one of the
fortncations on the opposite side Of the river,
day or two since.
large number of contrabands are employed
10 building additional works. Tho superintend'
ent Of one OF the works WAS astonlshed TO hear
an intelligent contraband" engaged In ha-
r6nguing his fellow ,laborers, and the burden
Of his oraiion seemed TO be that It was better
for ths daIktes TO take sides with the Southern
Confe jeracy.
The superintendent approached the sable
"bluSer." when the following dialogue en-
sued:
Superintendent. Why, Sam, how is it that
you are urging your brethren 10 join the reb-
slsf Don't you know that they ara your worst
enemiesf
Sam. Yes, marsa; but den, you know, Msrss
Abe has made II proclamation.
superintendent Well. what has that to do
withtt?
Sam. EOeryting. Did he not say dat all de
seoessioners were ~ ha0 dc slaves free, and
all do Union folks war to keep dar niggers
Superintendent. You arc nearly right.
Sam. Well, den, We Wast to go wild de party
dat won't keep slaSes'
The " boss " turned away TO hide hrs laugh,
ter, and the " Intelligent contrabshd" turned
towards his brethren with the air of one wht
was satisfied that hfs logic had completely de.
nolished his opponent.

THE DAWN OF HOPE.
BIZ BURNS JUNIOR.

Up from the dark abyss of awful night
The world comes stealing; the radiant light
Of heaven illumes the dark, lone valleys
Of that deep which tbunders with shrieks ant
cries.
That shook, unheard, the base-work of tn,
world,
There was g. struggle, and cry there was,
Alike the cry that Jared the upper worlds,
When Satan sought to rule. The battles rage
And at midnight of day the sky beclouds
With such gloom, that earth, sad and silent
Sits mantled in dispair, and sits, and weeps
But grief and penitence cannot atone,
At all times, for crime; and night came on
The music-tones of thunder kept the time
OF that dire "Death dance" which was played
and which
The rebel jewellers. deceived, vainly
Thought when played, would quench their
thirst for fame. ...
No mellow twilight CLEANED; or shed ray
Of hope upon the parting day; it sank
Within the yawning gulf of night, as man,
In guilt condemned, must march unto his cell
And such night it was night in which
The very darkness chilled. The thunderings,
Of the gathering storm-cloud, rolled but for
Their answering echo; the very wild,
Unearthly screams of mad ambition Knocked
The hope of sunlit morn's returning.
But the "winter of discomfort is gone
The darkness gathers light; the sun of peace
Dispels the cloud of gloom, and anarchy,
And ruin, must tremble from their throne.
Deluded men, Ipity you; edreamed
Your dream in vain; the phantom shuns your
grasp;
The palace was ideal, where you should
Sit and rule and ruin, ah! you cannot
The latent fire within the patriot heart
Is kindled; the cov'ring ashes SCATTER
The fame in loyal breasts is raging
To consume, and soon the ling ring restige
Of your plot is sclped aaoay forever.
Oh! noble brothers, sink this hell-born scheme;
And while your manly arms are drawn to
strike
In Heavens cause, OH weave the hero's lau-
rels,
And bind them on your brow; and when your
task
Is done, to home return and find the Joys
You left but to secure.

FLOYD ON CoTTN HILL.
When General Floyd, from Cotton Hill,
Thought, "fankees now III maui ye,"
He threw ocross an iron pill,
To drive them from the Gauley.
His ragged troops he scattered out,
From Ferry Falls to Raleigh,
And Dragged he'd made a speedy rout,
On the other side of Gauley.
Your hully guns you thought could scare,
But Simmons soon he saw ye,
And sent them flying through the air.
From the other side of Gauley.
The ferry-boat you thought to spank
L know it must annoy We,
To see her cross from bank to bank,
And dare you on the Gauley.
The Gipsey camp you tried to she'll
You thought, "now III destroy ye;'
Much quicker You could go to HI,
Than drive them from the Gauley
But changes come, and soon you found.
From your own side they saw ye,
You faced about, and with one bound
Skedaddled from the Gauley.
CAMP GAULEY, VA. RIP.
