And some what OF an aRges mystic sight
Iwere ours 10 pass this bleeding country over
What visions would those piercing ofbs dissoyeri
What horrors branded on the shrinking hfsin
Wouii bnrn aui bum iike Pgrga,oriai pain
Thrilling Throughout cUs consc sciousnfss--to rise

Nay tho our night he iancys, and our view
Bet owns The magic Of an insight true,
We well may pause and tltmble rs we ste
Revived, In all their shame and nfamy.
The cruel orgies OF tho iatsr day
OF Rome, who knew The Borgia brutal sway,
Ele Rome saak to perdition-
But with these
Are mingled ,endercr scenes and images,
Mourniul as any Shakespeare plying wrought
8n tie dim canvas Of pathetic thought
Farewell whereat no seorclling tears are she'd
Mute claspings Of the braye, qndmely dead,
Cllm hero bearings, tho The heart = broke,
Ahd the sod wiihered at The lightning stroke
Oh Supreme lrlel --uneonscious children playing,
DesI ite iather's corsc, mothers praying
Far malden5, smiling on despnr 70 make
A lovers deathbed softer for loves sake,
And all homes fragrant ministries that bring
Fun blooms and odors Clike a sudden sPting
Born IN mld-wlner) 10 the suherers room,
Waiting b)th light and sTeetnei lhrO' Tie gloom
Yet DER il ~ fierce tumnlt aud false calm.

Thc Northeru Prestan G,r Mediation Qnrs-
tiai.
The Northern press are discussing The
French mediation question, apparently with
great feeling. We give the spirit OF the stric.
lures Of some 0! the most prominent organs Of
popular opinion.
The New York World has Two leading ed-
torials sharply criticising the swift refusal Of
SEWARD in declining tae proposal Of NAPOLEON
for mediation The, World argues that lie
proposition should have been adopted --that
the French Government will moi study the po-
sition OF affairs in this country through SEW
ARDS spectaee3-tl Hat Mr.. GREELEY's notion Of
fixing the lst OF May as a term beyond which
the war should not be prosecuted was n.so far
sensible that "it showed his sense Of the inn
portance of dsabusing the popular mind Of the
depressing influence which vague and inde6.
mite prospects in public policy always EXERT
Tho World charges that the United States
Government has said That to the whole world
"lf you wish to soc the contest Ia America
ended, you must wait It'll we have subiugatsd
the South by force, aud force alone, and that
the praeticabilty Of this boweyor, cannot be
decided at Washington.
Oae OF the Worlds articles closes by saying
that ri seems to DO our simple duty to pre-.
pare ourselves, as rapidly and calmly as be.
comes great peops for ihe fresh Comphca.
tions which o foreign recognition Of the Con.
fcdcrate States must inevitably introduce into
the struggle we are sustaining
In arothorarticlc devoted specially to SE.
WARD, the World denies his claims to states
manship, and holds him as lacking two essen
tial qualities loresighto lhe future aud abil.
ily to estimate the temper Of other commune
ties than that in which he ives.p The World
says SEWARD lis like coniuror who hns raised
a spirit he cannot lay.' lie can't confront the
Abolitionists, and il he could he would be I'M.
able to command the confidence of their opno.
nents The World says that posterity will
adjudge SEWARD an imbecile from his dispatel,I
to DRoUYE DE LHQYu
The New York Tribune abolition radican
thinks that Mr.. SEWARD would have done well
TO accedo to the peace conference suggesfed
by LOUIS NAroLSoN
The New York Herald approves Of SEwAED's
rejection of the proposition, and thinks thath
acted wisely. The future, thinks the Herald
will confirm the wisdom Of The step, and will
establish theHeund. conservative position oil
Mr., SEWARD" The Hcralds article closes
with the following private hint:
mlhecourse Of his dispatch, rejecting the
peace conference proposition Of France, Mr..
Seward says that Lo "fears that Mr. Drouyn do
l.hlys has taken other light than the CORES.
pondencc ofthis Governmentfor forhis guidance
What does this mean Is the Secretary Of
State pointing his finger Of rebul,e at John Sli- |
le the rebel ambassador at Paris who. with.
out any recognition, is generally understoodAs
having lad for some time past the eaffee, after
lark, of the back door Of the Tulleries? We
cannot tell, but as Louis Napoleon will doubt.
ess understand the hint, that will do Rich.
