A BUzzr BEE.-A bee buzzed in at
our window yesterday. He was dressed
like a Colonel of Cavalry, in dark suit.
with yellow trimmings. After dashing
raid or two over our desk and around our
head, jnst as if one was Virginia and the
other Mississippi, he lapsed into the trans
parent panes, uSstng and zeeing up and
down, with the drone of bagpipe, and
striving in vain to get out like Sterne's
melancholy starting. The buzziug of the bee
was comforting and consoling. In its mu.
sical slides we heard the sounds of zephyrs
and early linnets and we felt that in spite
OF cold creeps in the spinal column, we
should be rewarded for the patience with
which we eudured March and April. We
have faith, and we thank God, for the mere
sense of life, even when the vane points to
the northeast. We thank God, 100, for the
bee, for his buzzing is like the sound of a
golden trumpet precs eding the march Of
the months, and hera'ding the pomp and
glory of the sunmer.-Propidence Journal.

with knife. He was standing before the
door Of his own house when the men came
along, seized hold of him, and ordered him
into the house. Some words ensued, and
the negro stabbed them both, fatally.

1t is one of the hardships of our pro-
fession that its working wheels-brai and
hearts-are not allowed to lag for sickness,
or stop for calamity or sorrow. The judge
may adjourn his court the school and the
workshop may close its shutters the mourn
er may veil features, and turn friend and
stranger from the door-but the journalist
must forget before the tomorrow of to-day
must write gaily and freshly as news
monger, on the trfle of the hour, whatever
burden has been laid on that same hour, by
Providence for his heart and brain as a
man. 1t sometimes tries and mocks--as
the world that reads what is thus written
would never dream of.

VENTILATION OF IRoN-CIAp SHIPs.-The ROydS
Oak, says the London Lancet, would appear to be
destined to play as important part In the sanl-
tary history of the Royal Navy, as the Warrior In
the fighting AS the custom is among naval ar
chitects, while every care had been given to the
offensive and defensive powers of our armor-clad
figates, little heed had been bestowed upon their
capabilities as dwelling places for crew. True,
ships would carry smaller number OF men than
it was usual to assign to vessels of their tunnage
and each sailor, as consequence, would !uxurl-
ate in larger cubic space between decks than he
would have possessed in q wooden shlp-ot-War
But it has been omitted to estimate the probable
influence of iron-plated walls in acquiring and
retaining heat, as well as the effects OF confined
atmosphere upon outlets and inlets, which had
been reduced to the lowest degree, not only IN
number, but also in capacity consistent with the
working Of the vessel. 1t was quickly found that
the crews of iron-clad ships were exposed, In hot
weather to the risk Of being sufocated (after the
fashion of doughty knights of old), as well as, to
many, less conspicuous but not less serious, evils,
arising from the vitiated atmosphere OF the be-
tween decks To obviate these evils, system OF
ventilation was suggested by Captain FANsHAWE,
the Superintendent of Chatham Dock yard, and
it was carried out In the Royal Oak while that
vessel was still on the stocks. We long ago urged
that until the hygienc conditions of ships -ot-war
entered into the consideration of naval architects,
as fully as the sailing and fighting qualifications,
there would be little hope of the removal OF those
sanitary drawbacks which affect the crews. The
results of the system of ventilation adopted in the
Roual Oak would seem to confirm this view. The
success is stated to be SO great that the Admiralty
has decided to ventiate all the ships OF the armor-
clad fleet on the same plan

AFFAIRS At MORRIS ISLAND.

from Our Special Correspondent.
MORRIS ISLAND, S. c., October ID, 1868.
There is little here to occupy the attention OF
the reporters, all of whom have struck their tents
and followed the commanding General away to
his new headquarters on Folly Island. Agenuine
reporter is good barometer. He indicates
pretty clearly by his own course what current
events are likely to assume. You can judge by
close observance of these gentry whetheranything
is in the wind If there is, you will see them on
the qui rire in all the camps, borrowing horses,
asking questions, and taking notes; if there isn't
they exhibit istless, restless air for few days,
and then disappear altogether. And SO from this
general exodus of the newspaper men, if from no
other reason, judge>that the campaign here is
nearly if not quite at an end or that if anything
important is to occur it will occur in some other
quarter.

Till wagner's top and floor were red
With blood of foes and leaders dead;
o memorable battle hour!
How deep the spell Of thy strange power!
Diverse of hues, bat one Of life,
What heroes perished in that strife?
No, persisted not those valiant men;
In more than life they live again;
Their deathless deeds we grateful own,
sAnd bid them live in long renown.
How many noble patriots fell,
Our history s apge shall truthful tell.
There wounded lay our honored STRONG,
His deed a theme for stirring song;
His name in love for age shall live,
The nations bosom is his grave.
There PUTNAM cheering or, MA band,
With sword and banner firm in hand,
Poured on the parapet his blood,
Ahd made his tomb where martyrs trod.
There iifeless fell, mid battle cries,
Where yet monument shall rise,
The gallant SHAW, whose rude-dug grave,
Was with his sable soldiers brave;
That bloody trench ordained to be
The ground of new born liberty.
Alike for CJIATTJELD freenen weep,
And bid fair fame his record keep;
Such hero records for our race
Nor time nor change may ere eface.
Dyes, let history proud enroll
High on her fair and precious scroll,
The cherished names of all the braves
Who sleep thus loved in martyr graves;
Fer still it is that earth's best good
Comes only through vicarious blood,
And men can never let such die
AS give their lives for Liberty.
