We learn from the Standard, that the President of

seven thousand militia, to be ready for the field by the

MAIL RoBBERIRs.-The Postmaster at Salem informs
US of the detection of aarnail rohber at that place on
Sunday last, and several letters were ascertained to
have been opened and the money distracted. Among
the rest, one for us, from NJ. j. Moore, ESQ. P. NJ. at
Walnut Cove. The robber was caught and impris-
o1ed, but the money was not recovered. Several 9th
er persons have notified US of having sent us money
by that route, that have never come to hand. The
same rogue, no doubt, stole all of them. We hope he
will get his due. There are other chaps, in other di-

in the list of casualties. He had been but a short
time previous elected to the Captaincy of Co. A, 34th

battles. On Saturday of the fight he was struck with
a piece Of she'll and knocked down, but not seriously
injured. On Sunday morning, the 34th, with others,
they were ordered forward, and in a few minutes
were s~torming the yankee works. They had driven
them from their first entrenchments, and as they were
charging the second time, Capt. Abernethy was Struck

BY SAMUEL BARBER.
Still, like the dewdrop on flower,
The tear that sparkles in thine eye
Reveals a heart as warm and pure
As ever throbbed beneath the sky.
No wave-born pearl from ocean cell
Fer shed a milder, purer ray
OF light than on thy face doth dwell,
And round thy lovely lips doth play.
Fain would I clasp thee in my arms,
Upon Thy cheek impress kiss,
'Tis pleasure to behold thy charms,
To kiss thee Oh, why that 10 bliss.
Let no foreboding fears come nigh
To chill the hearts outgushing flow;
Thou'rt happy now and so am / i;
The futures not for Us to know.
Then let thy laughing eyes reveal
joys hallowed and enlivening beam
While mirth and frolic set their seal
Upon the page of lifes young dream.

that they repay US for our anxiety
