Columbia's genius stood aloft ..
And viewed the battles storm
Bright golden seals and glttering stars
Adorned her angel form.
Dark columns loomed in giant form,
And swelled in ambient air;
Tremendous reals rolled loud and long,
In echoes wild, afar.
Sharp, clashing blades shed brothers blood
Brave warriors strobe in frenzy wild.
The Genius bowed her head in tears,
And thus reproved her erring child;
My gallant, brave, misguided sons;
The blood stains of this day,
The oblivion foods of circling years
Can hardly wash away
The idolized of many hearts
Are cold on crimson ground
Those household gods SO long adored,
Lie broke and scattered round;
And Hope, eternal, white-winged Hope,
That sang at early dawn
Her wounded pinions droop in pain
Aud fall before It's noon.
In vain you're wasting noble blood,
And dying side by side
Those firmly concentrated stars
You never can divide.
To me this luminous heritage
To light the world was given;
Firm as the earth its base is laid,
Its towers are lost in heaven.
Witness for me, ye shining hosts,
I'll guide and guard the free;
Their civil rule shall span the earth,
Their trident crown the sea.

EFFECTS OF THE AMERICAN Wan
The solidarity, to use an expressive French
word, of the human race, and its cominu--
nifty Of interests, are strikingly brought out
by the effects of the present civil war in
the United States That val RACES only
around the borders of the seeded States,
but its effects are felt throughout the world
Is there misery in Virginia and Tennessee?
so is there in Lancashire, and the manu-
featuring districts of France and Germany
Nay, from missionary reports we learn that
the native weavers in India are in great
distress, on account of the high price of
raw cotton, and that the HISTORIANS, in
Persia, whose clothing is almost wholly Of
cotton, find it difficult to sustain themselves
on account of the greatly enhanced price of
apparel In word, every nation that
grows, manufactures, or uses cotton, is ef-
fected just in proportion tolts interest in.
that universal staple.

PosT OFFICE REFORM BILL.-The editorial
correspondent of the Bulletin writes to that paper
as follows, from Washington, under date of Feb.
oath:
"The House has concured with the Senate in
passing Judge Collamer's Postal Reform bill,
with sundry amendments. The sections providing
for the compensation of postmasters by salary in
stead of commissions, were stricken out upon the
representations of Mr.. Colfax, who was overruled
on the point in his committee. The Senate pro-
viding certain rates or all postal matter had un-
Willingly abolished the franking privilege The
House was swift to correct this error. An
amendment was, however, made, limiting the
franking privilege as follows: 1t is taken away
from postmasters who are receiving less than 5000
year. Persons not in ofiica! positions and cor
respond ng OH official business are hereafter re-
quired to pay postage OF all their letters, except
those to members of Congress This provision
will, it is thought, greatly diminish the cores
pondence of the President and his ministers.
The clause which required money-letters to be
registered at cost of 20 cents postage has been
stricken out. The bill as it passed the Senate
authorizes the Postmaster-General to increase the
present charge (5 cents) on the voluntary regis
tration of letters, should he think fit. Magazines
transmitted by mail require the postage to be
prepaid. The postage on weekly newspapers is
changed from IA cents per quarter, ifdelivered
within the State where printed, and l-2 cents if
delivered in any other State to uniform rate of
5 cents per quarter. TO cover tie expense of free
delivery "drop letter" or those delivered from the
office at which they are mailed, are to be charged
two cents in those places where the free delivery
system is established Otherwise, drop letters
are charged only one cent.

The PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The Sacra-
mento Union after speaking at length of
the great benefits to be derived from the
completion Of this important national thor
oughfare, thus speaks Of the progress of
the work:
The Directors Of the Company are push
ing steadily onward. They have purchased
the iron to lay fifty miles of the road, and
will have the first eighteen, which are now
under contract, completed and the locomo-
tives and cars running on it in September
next. The remaining thirtytw Of the first
fifty miles are nearly ready to be put under
contract, and will doubtless be let in the

to ffties by the counterfeiters, The fraud
is readily detected en- examining the left
upper corner of the bill, where it will be
seen that SO has been ingeniously pasted
over the large 2. Elsewhere on the bill
the words and figures have been obitera-

resembling the patent green that gives the
