Now first / dare remember
Tint day Of death and woe

Now first dare remember
That day Of death and woe:
Within, the dreadful silence,
Without, the sun and snow
Anewlight now begins to dawn upon the horizon
Along the east where late the dark ilnpended,
A dusky gleam is born:
The watches OF the night are ended,
And heaven foretells the morn
The hills of home, no longer hurled together
In one wide blotch of night,
Lift up their heads through misty ether,
Distinct in rising light.
Then, after pangs Of darkness slowly dying,
Ger the delivered world
Comes Morn, with every banner flying
And every sail unfurled
So long tie night, so chill, so blank and dreary,
l thought the sun was dead;
But yonder burn lis beacOns CHEEKY
On peaks of cloudy red:
AVID yonder fly bis scattered golden arrows,
And snite the bills with day,
While Night her vain dominion narrows
And westward wheels away.
A sweeter air reyiyes the new creation,
The dews are tears Of bliss,
And Earth, in amotous palpitatioD,
Receives Der bridegroom kiss.
Bathed in the morning, let my heart surrender
The doubts that darkness gave,
And rise TO meet the advancing splendor-
q Night no more thy slave.

Thy weary watches done,
Thy last pale star behind me setting
The freedom of the suni
The questionings of the poets heart are an
swered in an unexpected manner.
THE VISION.
She came, long absent from my side,
And absent from my dreams, she came,
The earthly and the heavenly BRIDE,
In maiden beauty gloriied;
She looked upon ms, augel-eyed:
She called he by my name.
But |, whose heart 10 meet her sprang
And shook the fragile house Of dreams,
stood, smitten with guilty pang:
In other groves and temples rang
The sOngs that once for Ter sang,
by woods and iaery streams.
Her eyes had power to lift my head,
And, timorous as truant child,
I met the sacred light they shed,
The light OF heaven around her spread:
She read my face NJ word she said:
l only saw she smiled.
Canst thou forgive me, Angel mine"
| cried; "that Love 8; last beguilel
Ny heart 10 Dph a second shrine
See still kneel and weep at thine
But am human thou divine e.
Still silently she smiled.
Dost uncivided worship claim,

Or must bear thy tender blame,
and in Thy pardon feel NY shame,
Whene er breathe another name 7"
She looked 81 ine, and smiled.

"Spesk, speak" aud then my tears came fast,
My troubled heart with doubt grew wild:
viii I vex the love- which still thou hast
To know that / have peace at last r.
And from my dream the Vision passed,
And still, in passing smiled.
The following hymn, in its simple, quiet beauty,
is an apt expression of grateful and devout feel
ing, aud sufficiently indicates the result of the
history, the progress Of which is related in the
pictures Of the Journal.

We are sure that the volume now issued will be
welcome to the tlrong Of Bayard Taylor's friend,
as fresh assurance of his vocation to the poetic
art, and proof that tho rpeness Of his powers
does not belle the promise Of his early genius. j
shows broader and higher intellectual stamp
than most of his former productions; the language
gives nobler expression TO profound feeling; the
faculties Of the writer, which eyince no diminu-
lion Of scope or versatility, seem to be under o
more complete mastery; and the tenderness ol
sentiment which peryades his poetry is more inti'
mately blended with vigorous tone Of thought
and q healihful appreciation Of nature.

IsEcoND DISPATCH.
NEw YoRK, June 27.-lt is stated that
Gen. Benham Is under arrest, with orders
to report to Washington. II is stated
that Gen. Hunter left James Island on
the 18th, leaving Ben ham in command,
with orders TO make no advance towards

.her orders. 1t was reported by deserters
that the whole rebel force at Seeession>
vile amounted to only two battalions,
with six guns mounted and seven more
ready for use.
On the 10th General Stevens, with 900
men, was TO make the attack at daybreak,
while General Wright and Col. Williams,
with 5000 more were TO support him.
Somehow the movement was delayed an
hour. and rs our troops rushed up the
field they were in broad daylight, and
were met by murdeeus fire of grape
and canister. Two regiments only reach
ed the fort, much cut up. The Eighth
Michigan and Seventy. Ninth New York
and the Twenty>Eighth Massachusetts,

Forty>Sixth New York did but little bet

rebel gunners from their guns, and some
even penetrated the work, but the other
regiments f,ihngto support them, they
had to retire after holding the battery
twenty minutes.
/ Meantime Col. Williams, coming to the
support was separated by marsh from
4 the fort and exposed to severe cross fire
from nine rebel guns in the woods. His
troops, the I'd New Hampshire and Sd
Rhode Island, fought nobly. and met with
considerable loss. For three-qugters Of
al hour not gun was fred (ron'the fort,
and the prompt presence OF a few hun

count confirms the above in the main
facts, but states that the NassaGh usetts

gives our loss as follows - Killed "a ;

FROM The SHENANDOAH

WASHINGTON, June 27th.-lnformation
from the Shenandoah Valley, received
from other than official sources, leads to
the belief that Jackson's rebel troops have
not in force returned from the point at
which they were last seen by our troops.
The speculations concerning him are var
ious, and among them is one TIM: be Is
repairing damages and preparing to secure
the wheat and rye crops OF the valley,
which are represented to be very good.
The reports about the enemy occupying
the country between Manassas and Stras,
burg, in any force are untrue. There
may, however. 10 rebel pickets at settle.

our troops.
Reconnaissance made in the valley re.
recently bring intelligence that the enc
my had not any force there lower than
Luray. ContrabAnds and Union citizens
agree that Ewell and probably jackson
we're at and around Luray at that time,
with reiniorcenents. On the other hand it
was said that he had crossed the Blue
Ridge, but could not assert whether he
was TO move up or down. 1t would ap>
pear from various sources that the posi-.
tiol OF Jackson is quite uncertain.
