The OPERATIONS AGAINST CHARLEsToN.-A let
ter from the fleet off Charleston Oath inst, to
the American, says
As intmated in my last, we have settled
down here into the expectation of month or
two more of inactivity. The strike among the
engineers at the North, which has delayed tue
completion Of the monitors, and deprived our
clad feet OF renforcements which we're ex-
pected here more than a month since, has been
the primary cause OF tae delay and It's continu-
ance. The disaster to the w heehawken and
the coming of the winter season, with its con-
slant storms, has still further enforced this de-
lay.
Two months hence spring will be advanced
here, and with our iron. clad force increased bv
three or four new monitors, we will be prepared
to take advantage of the healthiest season and
most pleasant part of the year. Let US hope,
If Grant does not steal a march on US by one of
his famous rear attacks, that Charleston will
then fall, and the long-sutfering sailors and SOL
diers of this army and squadron reap the re-
wardlthey have well merited, OF complete and
decisive triumphs.
In the meantime, if we cannot look for imme-
date and decisive results here, no great disas-
ters need be apprehended. Cen Gillmore's po-
sition is impregnabe, and Admiral Dahlgren
has sufficient iTOn-clad force to hold the harbor
up to Sumter The monitor Lehigh, by the
time this reaches you, will have completed the
repairs rendered necessary by the hammering
she received when aground, and Capt. Bryson,
who always likes to be where there is chance
for fight will soon have his vessel back to
Charleston. The PatapSco, Captain Stevens,
has also nearly completed her repairs, and will
shortly relieve the Nantucket, at Warsaw
Sound. Both the Patapsco and Lehigh have
been provided with extra deck plates that will
add to their invulnerabilty.

From the Atlantic Monthly for January
The Planting of the Apple-Tree.
81 WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Come, let US plant the apple.tree
Cleave the tough greensward with the spade;
Wide let its hollow bed be made;
There gently lay the roots, and there
Sift the dark luould with kindly care.
And press it DER then tenderly,
As, round The sleeping infant feet,
We softly fold The cradle-sheet;
So plant we the apre tree.
What plant we in the apple.tree
Buds, which the breath Of summer days
Shall lengthen into leify sprays;
Boughs, where the thrush with crimson breas.
Shallhaunt and sing and hide he nest.
We plant upon the sunny lea
shadow for the no,ntide hour,
A shelter from the slil mer shower,
When We plant the applc-tree.
What plant we in tle apple-tree
Sweets for hundred aowery springs,
To load the May-wnds restless wings,
When, from the orshardrow he pours
Its fragrance throuih cur open doors
world of Blossoms for the bee
Flowers for the sicl girls silent room
For the Cad infant sprigs of bloom
We pantwi the apple-tree.
What plant W in the apple tree
Fruits that shall well in sunny June
And redden in the August noon,
And drop, as gentle a IRIS come by
That fan the blue September sky
while children, wild with noisy glee,
Shall scent their fragrance as they pass,
And search for them the tufted grass
At the foot of the apple-tree,
And when above this apple-tree
Winter stars are quivering bright,
And winds go bowling lhrouh the night,
Girls, whose young eyes o'erfow with mirth,
Shall peel its fruit by cottage hearth,
And guests in pr, uder homes shall see,
Heaped with the orange and the grape,
As fair as they in tint or shape
The fruit ofthe apple-trce.
The fruitage Of this apple-tree
Winds and our flag Of stripe and star
Shall bear tc coasts that lie afar,
Where men hall wonder at the view,
Ind ask in what fair groves they grew:
And they who roam beyond the sea
Shall look and think Of chldhoods day
And long hours passed in summer play
In the shade Of the apple-tree.
Each year shall give this apple tree.
A broader flush Of roseate bloom
A deeper maze of verdurous gloom,
And loosen when the frosl-clouds lower,
The crisp brown leaves in thicker shower,
The years shall come and pass, but we
Shall hear no longer, where We lie,
The summers songs, the autumn's sigh,
In the boughs Of the apple tree.
And time shall waste this applet tree.
Oh, when its aged branches throw
Thin shadow, on the sward below
Shall fraud and force and iron will
Cypress the weak and helpless still:
What shall the task Of mercy be,
Amid the tolls, The strifes, the tears
OF those who live when length otyears
Is wasting this apple-tree?
" Who planted this old apple-tree "
The children of that distant day
Thus to tome aged man shall say;
And, gazing on its messy stem,
The gray haired man shall answer them.
"A poet Of the land was he.
Born in the rude, but good old times
Ills said he made some quaint old rhymes
On planting the apple-tree."

A Large Democratic Gain.

Professor MoNROE. Judge HuMPHREYvIlIE Sas
the Abolition candidate. and B, YeuNa, Esq,
was voted for by the Democrats The Aboii
tlon msjority at the October election, in the
District, was over thirty.two hundred; but the
Democracy reduced 1t, at the special election, TO
less than sixteen hundred-msny Republicans
voting the Democratic ticket. This is an im'
mense gain for the Democracy in the ahort space
of two months. We congratulate our friend
YCuse upon the splendid run he made in the
oberlin Senatorial District, and we hope be
will live long enough to redeem 1t, and come
down as Democratic Senator from there
The counties that compose it will be repre-
sented in the next Congress BY sterling Dem
ocrat; and we know no reason why they should
not have Democratic Representatives in the
Legislature!
