ON AN UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT
OF HENRY D. THoREAU.
Tho evening Of the year draws on,
The fields ator aspect wear
Since Summers gnrshness is gone
Some grains Of night tincturc the noontidc air.
Behold tho shadows Of the trees ....
Now circle wider bout their stcm,,
Like scntries, which by slow degrees
Perform their rounds, gently protecting them.
And rs the year doth decline,
The son affords a scantlcr light;
Behind each needle Of the pine
There turks u small auxlliar to the night.
1 hear the cricket's slumbcrous lay
Around, beneath me, and on hig,h;
IL rocks the night, it lulls the day,
Andevery day Is nat uro's lullaby.
But most he chirps beneath the sod,
When he hath made his winter bed.
His crenk grown fainter but more broad,
film oiautumn DER the summer spread.
Small birds in fleets migrating by,
Now beat across some meadows bay,
And As they tack and vcor on high,
With faint and hurried click bcguile the way.
Far in the woods those golden days,
Some leaf obcys its Makers call;
And through their hollow Nisles It plays
With delicate touch the prelude Of tho fall.
Gently Withdrawing from its stem,
1t lightly lays itsclfalOng
Where tho same hand hath pilowcd them,
Resigned to sleep upon the old years thrOng.
The loneliost birch ia brown and scar,
The Eirthcst pool is strewn with leaves,
Which float upon their wntery bier,
Where is no eye that secs, no heurt that grlcycs

BarbarouS Treatment of Federal
.r. - Prisoners oil
WASHINGTON, November 5.-Mr. Bo-
havan, who was captured in the vicini-
ty of Ocoquan Greek, last Christmas,
and lately returned to his home in, Al
exandria, has informed the journal
that Castle Thunder is the only priso n
10 Richmond where prisoners arc al
lowed to purchase any thing. Shortly
after the battle Of Chickamauga about
200 wounded prisoners arrived at Rich
mond from the field. They were al
most all in n famishing and starving con
dition. They were four days between
the two points, and all they had to eat
in that time was four hard crackers
each. On arrival at Richmond, they
were taken to the Libby Prison, where
they lay two days longer without hay
ing their wounds dressed, and during
all of which time they had not a mouth
ful to cat. Somo of them who were
fortunate enough to have little money,
offered as high as five dollars for n
loaf Of bread, but the officer in charge
would not let it be carried to them.

himself merry over my exile and defeat.
Well, that is all right, too. But re-
member when, few years ago, tho
name Of Salmon p. Chase was the
synonym of every thing odious and
vile; and when he was one of the lead
ers of party not numbering in the
whole United States one tenth part as

Ohio, at tho late election.
Does the late Mr.. Vallandigham re,
fer to the time when the Democratic
party of Ohio elected this same Salmon
p. Chase to the Senate of the United
States, and thereby gave him his first
prominent position as public MANI
The late Mr.. Vallandigham (for politi-
cally he is as dead as Julius Caesar or
the Know Nothings) acts unwiscly in
provoking such "reminiscences of the
past, for they can only serve to remind
his defeated and disheartened followers
of the palmy days of their once great
and powerful party-now crushed anc
humblcd in the dust before the iudig

A Washington correspondent OF the

the French Government will continue
to preserve complete neutrality in
American affairs. The French Govern.
mcnt always held recognition as sub
ordinate to the power Of the South to
maintain its ground, to preserve its ter
ritorial possessions, and to oppose au
effective check to the Union armies
This conclusion not having been full
