Dreaming of the Past.

Dreaming of the Past.
The brook waves dash the pebly shore,
The moon shines clear and bright,
and its soft sheen ghists the green earth Ger,
In the pleasant summer night;
The lonely eve-buds trill their lays
While the light breeze brings them near,
And thought goes back to bygone days,
Through many q changeful year.
Words of sadness and of mirth,
Loved tones remembered well,
And forms we'll meet no more on earth,
Have each tale to tell
A tale Of love and friendship past,
That memory still holds dear,
That gamers up to cheer at last,
Through each succeeding year.
1t makes us sad to think of those
We never more may see,
Though from all sin and grief and woes,
The unchanged soul is free;
Yet still we hold these thoughts SO dear.
The fond links of lost love,
IT'S sweet to shed sad memory's tear,
And lift Hopes. eyes above

The Union feeling in Arkansas was increasing.
Secret societies have been organized, q number of the
most seemingly supporters of the Confederate being
active members. In fact, the organization IS so
powerful that in the August election, Morgan, the
Union candidate to represent the District. composed
of the nineteen northern counties. in the Confederate
Congress, was elected over the Secession candidate.
WASHINGTON, October 22.-The latest intelligence
from WarrentOn states that the rebel army is fairly
across the Rappahannock. IL has given no fair show
for a fight since it left Bull Run on Saturday, and its
retreat ends for the present all prospect OF a general
engagement. Gen. Meade was closeted with the
President and Gen. Halleck today, and returned TO
the army tonight.
A close examination of the Orange and Alexandria
road shows that from Manassas to Warrenton juno
ton the rebels in their retreat most effectively de-
stroyed what our forces left.
\ Vicksbury letter of the 18th says We shall in
all probability have Il provisional government estab-
lished in two or three weeks. Col. MARYLAND of
Kentucky is spoken of as most likely to fill the
gubernatorial chair. An important movement is on
the tOpiS, and in two weeks from now there will be
no armed force upon the soil Of Mississippi.

ga report that Brngg's army is in force j. front Of

Cumberland river, at Harpeth Shoals, is swollen ten
feet. The low land i'll the vicinity of the city is
entirely submerged.
PHILADELPHIA, October 20.-The sales Of FIVE
twenties to-day amount 10 two million one hundred
and sixty-four thousand dollars. The foreign de-
mand is steadily increasing.
New YORK, October 22.-Money firm, at Coz per
cent-chiefy at the latter rate. Gold very irregular,
opening at 142 and closing steady at 146! 6l46s.
Government securities frmer, at 1898.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 18th says: d" We
understand that in consequence of rhe action of the
British Consul relative TO foreigners enlisted in the
Confederate service, the President felt it his duty to
dismiss all of them BRITISH from the Confederacy.
ARMY OF THE PoToMAC, October 22-There is
little of interest to report to day, but it is not con-
traband TO state that an important movement is con-
templated, which will give joy to the heart of every
true Union man, the nature of which cannot be COM
municated 10 the people, who may, however, prepare
themselves for an agreeable surprise.

New YoRK. Oct. 21.-The Scotia, from Liverpool
on the llth has arrived. The Government, on the
9Th, formally seized one of the suspected rams built
by Laird, ON the Mersey. Another authority says
both have been seized. 1t Is not known what aidi-
tional evidence has been procured TO induce this step.
Ii Is stated that the rebel Government has resolved
not 10 grant clearances 10 blockade runners, except
on condition OF their taking one-third CT the outward
cargo on Government account; also, that a pressure
was being used to get a prohibition of the expectation
OF cotton on private account. except such as is pledged
to holders of the Confederate loan. The Times
thinks details from Chicamauga establish a total
defeat of Rosecrans, and charges the Federal Govern
ment with keeping back news.
Polish and Mexican questions are unchanged.
The Paris Patrle maintains the complete accuracy of
its statement tina; Prince Cxartoriski had demanded
the recognition OF the Poles as belligerents. Cont
mental politics are generally unimportant. Some

difficulty.
The Paris correspondent of the Times SAYS
Maximilian's answer is looked upon as a civil refusal
more than an acceptance. as he asks conditions that
will be difficult to comply with.
The London Dailv .Ners believes every English
gentleman whose reason has not been blinded by
personal prejudice will congratulate himself on the
step taken by the Government in the seizure Of the
rams.
The London Herald considers the act as signi6-
cant that Earl Russell has succumbed TO the pressure
put upon him by the Federal Government. Two
war vessels had been on the alert TO prevent any
attempted departure of the rams.
In regard to the Mexican question, it is stated
that Napoleon addressed an autograph letter to the
Archduke Maximilian fully approving of his reply to
the Mexican deputation. Ii is said that the reply of
Macmillan is regarded in Austria as an acceptance
of the throne of Mexico, and measures are being
taken to enable the Archduke to set out for Mexico
in February or March next.

Rumors are prevalent that General Meade has
been removed from the command of the Army of the

a fortnight to rebuild the railroad to the Rappahau-
mock, and intimates a disaffection with Meade.

ONE week LATER!
From America and Europe.

BE- the British ship Anne .Haru, IA DAVIS from
San Francisco, the American mails were received,
and San Francisco papers to Oct. "a. The principal
items of intelligence will be found below
Affairs i'm Virginia.
At our latest previous dates. it will be remembered
Meade had retreated 70 Centregille, and it was sup
posed that Lee was planning another invasion Of
Maryland. Instead of that. the rebels commenced
retreating south about the 18th of October, tearing
up the railroad and destroying it ns they went.
A special 10 the Times, from Washington (Oct.
2l,) says the mystery OF Lees movement of last
week is uncovered. Part of his army was at Gull
pepper this morning. being vigorously embarked on
trains of cars for the Southwest.
Lateral officer just in from the front brings
intelligence that Lees whole infantry force is across
the Rappahannock. Some of his cavalry are still
on this side and part on the other. Our reserve,
under Gen. Merritt, advanced as far as Warrenton
Junction. meeting but few rebel cavalry, who retired
as We advanced.
CHICAGO, October 2lst-The following is from
the Washington correspondent of the Times with the
Army of the Potomac of the Goth The sudden with
drawal of Lees army from our front is explained.
Information received n headquarters in Washington,
confirmed by reports of deserters and prisoners, rem
ders il certain that Burnside is gaining q position in
the rear of the rebel army, actually threatening their
CHIEF base of supplies.
Lynchburg deserters state that on Friday night
Lee received positive orders from Richmond to fall
back on GOrdOnsyille with all haste, and protect
Lynchburg from the advance of Burnside's army,
already within one hundred and fifty miles of that
place. Lee at once commenced n retrogade move
ment, completing the withdrawal from our immediate
front on Sunday night.
This movement of the enemy was suspected on
Sunday. and preparations were made by Meade to
reconnOitre in force, i'll order TO find Lees where
abouts, but certain contradictory information. previ-
Gus to the movement, caused delay. On Sunday
night positive intelligence was received of the eBemy's
retreat.
NEW YORK, October 23-The Uorld's special
dispatch from Washington saws that thus far Lee has
retreated without stopping 10 make any considerable
resistance, and the main body of his army is now re-
ported beyond the Rlppahannock and the Rapidan.
We understand that orders have been issued to push
him TO the wall and force him to battle. but whether
under the present circumstances n battle can be OBJ
tanned or risked is IA matter of conjecture If the
rebel commander, az 1t now seems probable, gets
fairly out of fighting distance, you may expect TO
hear that the fate of Rosecrans has been visited upon
Gen. Meade, who has certainly been too cautious in
pursuing.
