1T CANNOT BE SHE COMES NO MORE
DIRGE FOR THE DEPARTED.

The seasons weave their ancient dance,
The restless ocean e5bs and Rows;
The world rolls on through day and dark,
Regardless ot our joys or woes!
Still up the breezy western slopes.
] he reaper girls, like apples brown,
Bend, singing to their cheerful toll,
And sweepth golden harvest downi
Still. where the slanlng sunlight gilds
The bolcs oil cedar aud of pine,
Chants the lone blackbird from tho brake,
With melancholy voice divine:
Still all about the mossy tracks,
HUNS n; his task the ood ward bee
Still fltully the corncrake's notes
Come to me from the upland Ieai
Still, round the forest bower SHE loved,
The woOdbine trails its rich iestOons
The slunlbrous poppies burst and fall
Beneal III the silent autumn moons:
Still, round her lattice, perched aloof,
In sunny shade OF matched caves,
The Jnsinine clngs, with yearnIng pain,
And wilhers in lis shroud OF leaves;
Still round the old familiar porch
Her cherished roses blush aud peer,
And fill the sunny niT with balm,
And strew their petals year by year.
Nor here within, one touch of chungci
The footslool- the embroidered chuir--
The books the arras on the wall
The harp the mn, ic-all ore there.
No touch Of change close my eyes
1t cannot lie she comes no more
hear the rustling OF her dress;
hear her footsteps on the floor;
feel her breath upon my brow;
| ieel her kiss upon my cheek;
Down, phantoms of the buried past
Down, or my heavy heart mus break

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT The following
extract is taken from Motifs address to
Young Men" 1t is gem of brilliancy and
beauty. We have seen the extract publ shed
once or twice before, but SO altered from
the original as to have lost much of its
freshness and purity:
II would frown on vice; would favor
VIrtue-favor whatever would elevate, would
exalt, would adorn character, alleviate the
miseries OF my own species, or contribute tc
render the world Inhabited like the heavens
to which looked, a place of innocence anc
felicity. Though we're to exist no Longer
than those ephemers that sport in the beam
OF the Summers morn, during that shor
hour would rather soar with the eagle
and leave record Of my flight and my faI

with the reptile, and bed my memory an
my body together in the dunghih. Howeve
short my part, would aot il we'll, that
might surrender my existence without dis

The Con federates on Mcclellan.

Since General Mcclellan has moved
against the enemy, the rebel jourhatt, from
praising, have ,nrned TO abusing him. This
is ominOus that the rebel cause is regarded
as in q bud way. The Richmond Disputch
lets out its venom on him as follows:
A MILITARY ADvENTURER
In the early part OF the war. Gen Nc
CIelan wrote to a distinguished officer il
the South. expressed his desire to serve in
the Confederate army. Ifhe dare deny the
fact, and his recent reports provo that in
mendacity he is the representative man Of
ihe Yankee-~estcn, IL can be demonstrsse
by such evidence as will close his lips in
eternal silence. When no was at Wesr
Point. he affected to fraternize especially
with those from tho South, and to have lit.
tie sympathy with those from his own sec
ton. We dare say this was genuine, and
that he really was anxious 10 serve under
jeff Davis in this war, but the high bribe
offered by Lincoln was too much for his easy
virtue. He was not tho man to sacrifice his
interest to sentiment. aud of late has shown
disposition TO become as extreme in his
antagonism as in his friendship for the
South.
The Richmond Whig copies the above.
and adds:
After the battle Of Rich Mountain, both
Mcclellan and Rosencrans declared to con-
rcderate officers, who we're prisoners of war,
:hat they would much rather DO leading an
army against Massachusetts than Virginia.
This can be proved by unimpoachable au-
thori;y il denied. This bossted soldier and
gentleman" of the North 10 as much hire
ling and adVenturer us any Hessian in hiI
ranks. II he has any conscience. it rebuke e
him daily for the base work in which he i
employed. When to the paugs of remors'
is added the shame of defeat, his condition
will be such as even an enemy may pity.

A Daring Adventure.

a correspondent with Fremout's column
narrates the following:
The moment ii became evident that Jack
son would not fight at or near Strasburp.
Cluseret was ordered on, and entered
Strasburg in the evening, marching in u
storm of rain and thunder and Lightning
such az only the mountains know. re-
connolssance was Immediately sent out.
The force advanced three or four miles
beyond Strasburg, and was stopped at mid
night, in perfect darkness, by an ambush
and barricade. Col. FigyelmeBi, of Ere
monts stat, who was in advance with the
cavalry, went through the one and over
the other, not without severe injury to
himself by the fall of his horse. As he
felt his way along through the binding
storm and over roads which were rivers Of
mire, quick challenge came out of the
darkness, and was answered with a de-
mand for the couutersigu. '.If you are
Ashby's cavalry" replied the rebel leader
sit is all right; come on"
Recognizing Ashby's voice, Col. Figyel-
nesi did leone on" and answered with
instant order to charge. One officer and
fifteen men followed him, and with this
handful he rode straight into the famous
rebel cavalry, and scattered it with the
shock. Ashby gave the order to retreat at
the hrst momeDt, yet in the brief contest
three or four rebels were killed Dark as
il was, Col Figyelmesi pursued for some
distance at speed, and only stayed his gal
liant advance when he found himself close
on the rebel squadron, with two men fol-
lowing. When he returned, Col. Cluseret.
uncertain of the enemy's strength, but
knowing that he was near at hand in con-
siderable force. withdrew his force TO the
other side of Strasburg, and waited for
daylight and orders. His men were nearly
worn out with incessant marching aud
lighting, and NO longer able to lead the ad.

West Virginia.

The Territorial Committee of the House
of Representatives are TO report bill to
admit the proposed new State of West
Virginia on condition that its boundaries
be changed to the Blue Ridge, instead of
the Alleghanies, and that slavery be abol-
ished within these limits at once.
So far as the last condition is concerned,
the people of that region are quite ready
to adopt it: and they grow more anxious,
the longer the war continues, to be releas-
ed from that corrupt and dead half of their
body politic-Eastern Virginia. The State
debt of Virginia was heavy before seces-
sion, but it has be increased greatly in the
last year. 1t is certainly hardship 70 ex-
Pect the loyal people of Western Virginia
to pay share of this added debt, which
has been created not only without their
advice or consent, but for the purpose of
9ubverting the real gOVernmentofthe State,
by rebels who had seized the reins of gov
ernment.-N. Y, PoS.
