Poetry-
.DYING! EGYPT.o

Attic request o, friend we republish tt
following poem, which was formerly pull
lished in the Cincinnati Gazette, and
thought not to have been excelled by an
similar prediction In the English Lal
guage: a..
am dying-Egypt-dyingl
Ebbs the crimson life tide fast,
And the dark, Plutonian shadows
Rise upon the evening blast.
Let thine arms Oh Queen, support me,
Bow thine head, and bend thine ear
List to the great heart secret,
Thou, and thou alone must ear.
Though my wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark ctium's fatal shore,
Though my Scared and veteran legions
Bear their banners high no more
Though no glittering guards surround me
Prompt to do their Masters will,
4 will perish like a Roman,
Die the great Triumyir still II
Let not Caesars servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low,
Twas no mental hand that smote him
Twas his own that struck the blow;
Then Dear pillow Oh thy bosom
Ere his star has lost its ray;
Him, who drunk with thy caresses,
Madly flung U5rld away!
Should the base plebian rabble
nare assAll my fame at Rome,
Where the royal spouse Octavia
Weeps within her widowed home;
Seek her-say the Gods have told me-
Affairs, Augurs, circling wings
That her blood with mine commingled
Yet shall mount the throne of kings!
And as for thee, Star Eyed Egypt an,
Glorious socceress of the Nile,
Light the path to stygian horrors,
With the splendors of thy smile
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his broY the laurel Irvine
can scorn the Senats''s. bono rs,
Triumphing in love like thine
am dying Egypt
,,HsrE the insulting forcmans.cry.
They are coming Quick, my falchion,
Let me front them ere die
All ! no more amid the battle
Shall this heaet cxulting swell,
Isis and Osiris guard thee!
Cleopatra Rome! Farewell!

HE is, undoubtedly, great loss to the

The conversation next turned on the IA
nous flight of President Lincoln from Har-a
risburg to Washington, and the state of the
national capital at the time of the inaugu.
ration. General Mcclellan, in reply to va
rious questions, stated, that, at the time
referred to, Ee did not think there was
much danger, either to the person of Pres,
ident Lincoln or to the capital. Since then
be had, however, obtained inforniiia ton which
led him to believe that there really was a
conspiracy to seize the person of Lincoln,
and also to gain possession of Washington /.
Had either event occurred, the effect might
have changed the whole character of events,
and resulted in the Southern conspirators
becoming the de facto government. Pos
session of the national capital, be thought,
would have given the rebels moral force
equal to three hundred thousand men. $,
. A gentleman inquired if there would be
any improperly in asking whether the ru.
NOR that General Mcclellan had rendered.
