Dahlgrens, 46 ten-inch, old and new, 80 eleven

700 more guns Of the new sort will be done be-
fore the year closes. Several new founderies
have been started, and the means are now equal

ECHO POETRY

The following is a specimen Of echo poetry
which possesses merit as literary composition
and on account of the spirit Of piety which
breathes through it:
If any be distressed, aud fan would gather
Some comfort, let him haste unto
Our father. t1.
For we Of hope and heaven are quite bereaven
Except Thou succor us i.
Who art in Heaven.
Thou showest mercy, therefore for the same
We praise thee, singing
Hallowed be thy name.
OF all our miseries cast up the sum-
Show us thy joys and let
Thy kingdom come.
We mortal are, and alter from our birth;
Thou constant art,
Thy will be done on earth.
Thou madest the earth as well as planets seven
Thy name be blessed here
a f As It's in heaven. tt usr
Nothing we have to use or debts 10 pay.
Except Thou give IL us.
Give us this day
Wherewith to clothe US, wherewith to be fed,
For without thee we want
Our daily bread.
We want, but we want no faults, for no day passes
But we do sin
Forgive us our trespasses
No man from SHINING ever free did live;
Forgive us, Lord, our sins
AS we forgive.
If we repent our faults, thou ne er disdainest us
We pardon them
That tresspass against us;
Forgive us that is past, ney6ath tread us;
Direct us always in thy faith,
And lead US
We, thine own people and thy chosen nation,
Into all truth but
Not into temptation.

The annual report of Postmaster General Blair
gives cheering promise that the Department will
soon become what it should be-self-susiaing,
The revenue for the past year was 81 l63,-
169 59 while the expenditures exceeded that
amount by the sum Of $I50,4l7 25 only. In
many former years the deficiency has been
counted by millions. In 1860, the year inine-
diately preceding the Rebellion, the excess Of
expenditures Of the revenue was $5,656,7OS 40.
Nail routes have been extended during the year
5,5e5 miles while the annual cost Of transpor-
tation has been reduced 9ll325S. The present
number Of postoffices is 29,047 an increase of
l72. Stamps to the value Of 1872, 500 62 were
sold during the year. an increase Of ,7l43977 73.
The Postmaster. General has been unable 10 ne
gotiate new and satisfactory postal convention
with Prussia. He renews bis Recommendation
that private ships departing for foreign ports be
requifed 10 convey mails on such terms aa may
be allowed BY Congrsas as a condition Of Oh

been repeatedly urged in annual reportH, and ID
seems strange 70 those who are not members Of
Congress that an act 40 palpably needed for the
convenience and safety Of that large class whe
are compelled to remit small suma through the
Post -Ofie. has not long since been passed. The
report contains many curious and interesting
facts in relation 10 the sdead letter Office, amoug
which is statement that about 10000 letters
containing photographs or daguerreotyes had
been received at that Office, OF which 8,973 had
been restored 10 the writers or owners.

rs La his speech on the occa.
sion Of bis reception at home, Mr..
Fallandigbam referred to the three
hundred dollar provision Of the Fed
eral Couscription act, and denounced
it as an unjust discrimination against
the poor. He proposed that The ci.
ty council of Dayton should appro-
pirate money enough, and vote a tax
for it, aud reloase The city from the
draft, and thus spare the liyes and
limbs Of the citizens who were too
poor to pay. The tax, be said, would
equallze the burlhen and make the
rich pay same part Of that last dollar.
The three hundred dollars, too, was
just the price fixed BY the Abolition
Congress for the emancipation of the
negroes Of the District OF Columbii.
1t was now the price of blood. Tha
Administration said to every man
between the ages of twenty and for
ty-live three hundred dollars or your
life. A tag by every city, township,
and county was just the way to
meet it aud equalize it.

Is this a IiMs 70 Qanc6 ?
The breath of evening sweeps the plain,
And sheds its perfume in the dell /;
But OF its wings sound of pain,
SAD tones that drown the echo's swell,
And yet we hear mirthful call,
Fair pleasure smiled with beaming glance
Gay music sounds in the joyous hall
Oh, God Is this time to dance
Sad notes, as if spirit sighed,
Float from the crimson battle plain,
As if mighty spirit cried
In awful agony and pain;
Our friends we know, there suffering lay,
Our brothers. too, perchance,
And in reproachful accents say,
Loved ones, is this time to dance
Oh, lift your festal robes on high!
The human gore that flows around
Will stain their hues with crimson dye,
And louder yet your music sound,
To drown the dying warriors cry,
Let sparkling wine your joy enhar ce-
Forget that blood has tinged its dye,
And quicker urge the maniac's daEce.
Bat stop; the floor beneath your feet
Gives back coflin's hollow moan,
And every strain Of music sweet
Watts forth dying soldiers groan.
Oh, sisters, who have brothers dear
Exposed to every battles chance,
Brings dark Remorse 20 forms of fear.
To fright you from the heartless dance?
&c, fling your festalrobes awayl
Co. don the mourner's sable veil
Go, bow before your God and pray,
If yet your prayers may aught avail.
Go, face the fearful form of death,
Aud, trembling, meet the Gliding glance
And then, for once. with truthful breath,
Answer-Is THIS TINE I'd DANCE?
