THE RIVER PATH.

Ma bird song foated de- wn the hill,
The TANGLED bank below was still
No rustic from the birchen stem,
No ripple from the waters hem.
The dusk OF twilight round US grew,
we felt the falling of the dew
For. from u.s. ere the day was done,
The wooded hills shut out the sun.
But on the rivers farther side
We saw. the hill.tops glorhed,-
A tender glow, exceeding fair,
dream Of day without its glare,
with us the damp, the chill, the gloom
with them the sunsets rosy bloom
While dark, through wllowy vis as seen,
The river rolled in shade between.
From out the darkness where we trod
We gsEed upon those hills of God,
Whose light seemed not Of moon or sun,
W. snake not, but our thought was one.
We paused, as II from that bright shore
Beckoued our dear ones gone before
And stnled our beating hearts to hear
The voices lost to mortal ear
Sudden our pathway turned from night
The hills swung open TO the light
Through their green gates the sunshine shoWeu'
.Ions. slant sple ndor downward flowed.
novn Visde and glen and bank 1t rolled
Itbridgsd the shaded stream with goid
And, borne on piers Of mist, allied
The ,bsdowy with the sunlit side
so.', prayed we, " when our feet draw near
Tho river, dark with mortal fear,
And the night eometh chid With dow,
o Father let .hy light bresh through
so let the hills Of doubt divide,
sobridce with faith the sunless tide !
81. So let the eyes that fail on earth
On thy eternal hills look forth
% And in thy beckoning angels know
The dear ones whom we loved below -
,u, Wbi.tiers genius, like that OF all true po
finds a noble inspiration in its love of Free
and the part thu poor slave is acting IN tn
at tragedy of our struggle for national exiS'

Like corn-shuck in de wind
We own de hoe, own de plough,
We own de hands dat hold
We sell de pig, we Sell de COW,
But nebber chile be sold,
De yam will grow, de cotton blow
Wen hab dc rice an
o nebber you fear II nebber you hear
De driver blow his horn
We pray de Lord he glib US signs
Fat some day be free
De Norf-wind tell it to de pines,
De wild duck to de seS
We tink it when de church-bell ring,
We dream it in de dream;
De rice-birl mean it when he sing,
De eagle when he scream,
De yam will grow, de cotton blow,
Well hsb de rice an corn
nebber you fear, If nebber you hear
De driver blow his horn !
We know de promise nebber fail,
An nebber lie de word
So, like de 'postles in de jail,
We waited for de Lord:
An now he open cherry door,
An trow away de key;
He tink we ub him so before,
We lub him better free.
De yam will grow, de cotton blow,
He'll glib de rice aud corn
nebber you lear, if nebber you hear
De driver blow his horn!
So sic our dusky gondoliers
AND with a secre! pain,
And smiles that seem akin to tears,
We hear the wild refrain.
We dare not share the negro's trust,
Nor yet his hope deny
We only know that God is just,
And every wrong shall die
Rude seems the song each swsrthy face,
Flame lighted, ruder still
We start to think that hapless race
Nut shape our good or ill
That laws OF changeless justice bind
oppressor v ith oppressed
And, close as sin and suffering joined,
wemarch to Fate abreast.
Sing on, poor hearts your chant shall be
Our sign OF blight or bloom
The vala-song Of Liberty,
Or death rune OF our doom
Our space, if not the authors copy right, con
,es US to stop here in transferring these pearls
ong to our columns.

AT PORT ROYAL.

Inc tent lights glimmer on the land,
The ship-lights ON the sea
Tse night. wind smooths with drifting sand
Our track on lone Tybee.
At last our grating keels outsiae'
our good boats forward swing
Ard while We ride the land locked tide,
Our negroes row ana sing.
For dear the sondman holds his gifts
Of music and Of sougj
Tke xoid that kindly Mature sifts
Among his sands Of wronsi
The power TO make his toiling days
And poor home Com forts please
The Quaint relief Of mirth that plays
With sorrows minor keys.
Another glow than sunsets FIRE
Has allied the West with light,
where field and garner, barn and eyrs
Are blazing through the night.
The land is wild with fear and hate,
The rout rams mad and fast
From hand TO hand, from gate 10 gate,
The flaming brand is passed.
The lurid glow falls strong across
Dark faces broad with smiles
Not theirs the terror, hate, and loss
That Are yon blazing piles
with oar. strokes timing to their sonB'
They weave in simple lays
The pathos Of ofremembered wrong,
Tie hope Of better days.
The triumph-note that Miriam sung,
The JOY OF uncaged birds
softening wi tn Afric's mellow tongue
Their broken Saxon words.
SONG OF THE NEGRO BoATMAN.
o, praise an tanks De Lord he come
To set de people free;
An msssa tink it day OBJ DOOM
An we OBJ jubilee.
De Lord dat heap de Red Sea waves
He ius' as 'trong ss den;
He say de word we las night slaves
To-day, de Lords freemen.

sF' We in receipt of the Mississppian OF the
81 INST. / he only thing il it fiud room for
this morning in the following in reference to Affairs
around New Orleans:
rclegraphic dispatch was received in this city
yesterday evening" by Gen Johnston - the following
effect:
The Confederate cavalry b I'D succeeded In csptur.
ing Algiers. Generals Taylor gnd Magruder had
taken kener, the depot ten miles above New Oreau
tha New Orleans jackson and Great Northern
rairosd with the batere, embracing City siege guns
which commanded the strip of land between the river
and the marsh which surround Lake Pontc hartrain.
Passengers arriving at Ponohatorls say that firing
was heard in the direction of New Orleans later In
the day.
1t is probable our forces met with another line of
breasEorks in the vicinity Of CsrIoton which would
account for the firing aer they had captured the bat
teTiss at kenner.
10 these reports be true the FIFTY captured siege ga
can be planted behind the evess and the low siasp of
the water will give us tho pupging shot upon the
enemy, and the river be thoroughly com nanded
and the Chinese feet, about which sp much has
6een eaid and written, opport uney up nom be-
low New Orleans, all the yankee torces IN that city
Mast tall inso hands without e blow. We have
strong hopes that New leans will soon oe ours again

The jackson Mississippian of the lst inst.
gives the following account OF the youthful
hero, who has Just started all yaukeetom by
his exploits at sea:
In the youthful hero Of these glorious cx-
ploifs. which by their 5oldncss and suCccs
challenge our wonder aud admiration as they
have awakened the terrors of our enemies. the
ci iZeus of jackson will recognize the son of "A
widow lady, in very moderate circumstances
residing III their midst Ten or eleven wears
ago, they ray rrmembcr TO lave seen u very
modest, sentIe youth of ior :tecm years of are
of slender ,rame, aud habits siG'sularly retr-
ing and unobtrusive. By somo good iIirn of
fortune, The humble hoy was sent to the Naval
School of Annapolis, from which he. in due
tmo, emerged, prepared to cuter upon the ca
reer which has been marked out for him. When
the Confederate Government was formed
he was rue TO his na i've home, and repaid
the kindness OF friends By at once eniistiug
under the Southern | inner. Winning his way
to the confidence OF his superior officers, il
has been his good fortune to bear his share in
most OF the hazardous exploits OF our little
navy. IL we remember Alright he was a par
ticipant in the fg..ts befo.e New Orleans, and
he has frequently been the companion of the
daring hatfit on the high seas. The other day,
commanding very inferior vessel. the CIar-l
OF the Alabama" he struck boldly for the rich
est harvest, and well was he repaid for the
deed OF most wondroUs daring
We repeat, that the hero of these exploits
in the recital of which whcle columns of yam
kee newspapers are iillc /, 10 none other than
the modest, gentle boy we once knew as Chas.
Reed the widows son. His country shares
with her the pride which she may we'll feel in
the youthful hero, whose talents and heroic
va'or give promise of future usefulness to his
country and great renown TO his name
n9- United States paper speaks thus dis
respectfully OF Abrahams military qualities
." The Administration understands handling q
large army about as well as a small boy does
a stage whip. The dar6ed thing tangles about
his legs"
