A Jubiiant Editor.

The Christian Banner, published at
Fredericksburg, Va, was suspended
May 9, 1851, in consequence of the
editors loyalty to the Union, and his
refusal to aid in plunging Virginia into
the vortex of accession. Just one year
from that day its publication is re-
sumed. In bis article announcing it,
the editor remarks:
When we closed our Office twelve
months ago, the secession tdg-the en-
blem of all folly, was waving over our
city-to-day, the american .J7og-the
Stars and Stripes-the proud emblem
of nations greatness-the flag which
our fathers won through blood and
deaih-the flag which our fathers loved
the flag under which we were born
and have lived forty five years, save
one, now floats proudly over us. Long
may it wave over the land of the free
and the home of the brave-may it
wave over as, our children, oar grand
children, and great grandchildren, till
Gabriel's trump shall sound, and old
time shall end-then good bye old time
honored. flag. Heaven is better place
than America.

The Great Battle Four Miles From
Charleston.
The Palmettos in Tight place.
FORTRESS MONROE. June %

A steamer from City Point arrived
last night. Richmond papers of Satur-
day contain a brief account from
Charleston of bloody battle fought
on Monday last, FIVE federal regiments
and battery of Parrot guns and
parts of four confederate regiments and
a battery.
The Mercury of the 18th says the
battle would he renewed the next day
and expressed apprehensions for the
safety of the city in consequence of the
great exhaustion of the Southern troops
and the loss of many officers.
Generals Evans and Pemberton had
complimented the rebel troops for their
bravery in standing up under the
heavy fire of shells, &C., from our gun
boats. The fight took place four miles
from Charleston, and from the tone OF
an editorial in the Mercury, should
think the rebels have been cut off from
retreat from James, Island by our gun
boats. If this should be SO, Charleston
must soon fall.

UNwRITTEN PoETRY.-Far down in
the depths of the hu an heart there is
fountain of pure and hallowed feeling,
from which, at times, swells up tide
of emotions that words are too power.
less to express-which the soul alone
can appreciate. Full many hearts that
are overfowing with sublime thoughts
and holy imaginings, need but the ''pen
of fire" to hold enraptured thousands
in its spell. The thoughts that breathe
are there, bnt not the words that burn.
Natures own inspiration fills the heart
with emotions too deep for utterance,
and, with the poetry of the heart, lies
forever concealed in its own mysterious
shrine. Uuwritten poetry! 1t is
stamped npon the broad blue sky; it
wrinkles in every star. 1t mingles in
the oceans surge, and glitters in the
dewy drops that gems the lily's bell.
1t glows in the gorgeous colors of the
west at the decline of day, and rest in
the blackened crest of the gathering
storm clouds. 1t is on the mountains
height and in the cataract's roar, in the
towering oak and in the tiny flower.
Where we can find the hand of God,
there beauty finds her dwelling place.

Where the blessed angels live,
