MILLIONS HYMN OF SUFFERING.

recent Oxford edition of Millions works shows thi
touching, transeendent hymn Of suffering 1t dis
covered among his unedted manuscripts:
l am old and blind r-.
Men point at me as snitten by Gods frown;
Afflicted and deserted OF my kind;
Yet am not cast down.
I am weak, yet strong;
murmur not that no longer see;
toor, old and helpless, the more belong,
Father Supreme, to Thee.
q. Mcrciful onct
When men are tarthest, then Thou art most near;
Wien friends pass by me, and my weakness shun,
Thy chariot hear.
Thy glorious face
Is leaning toward me' and its holy light
shines in upon my lonely dwelling place
And there is no more night
On my bonded knee
recognize Thy purpose, clearly shown
My vision Thou hast limlned that may see
ThSsclf-Thy self alone.
have naught to fear;
This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing:
Beneath 1t am almost sacred: here
H =G Can Come no evil thing
o. seem to stand
Trembling where foot Of mortal meier hath been,
Wrapped in thn radsuoe of Thy snless land,
Which eye hath never seen.
Visions come and go
Shapes OF resplendent beauty round me throns;
From angel lips ! seem TO hear the How
or soft and holy song.
lsit nothing now,
When heaven is opening on my sight less eysss--
WheL airs from Paradise refresh my brow
. The earth in darkness lies.
In prrer cline f a.
My being fills with rapture--waves Of thought
Roll in upon my spirit strains sublime
Break over uusought.
Give me now my Tyre!
feel the STRINGS Of gft divine:
Within my bosom gows uncarthly fire
by no skill of mine.

THE WAR IN GEORGIA.
Rebel PrisOners-..Sherma ans Cap
lures.

From the Louisville journal
We can form some idea of the success at
tending Sherman's movements in front of At
lanta, by the constant streams OF rebel prison
ers sent to the rear. Every train from the
South brings number of gray uniformed SOL
diers to our city. They are steadily pushed
forward, and soon the great prisons north will
overflow with occupants. Such unceasing
drains must weaken to great extent the pow
er of Gen. Joe Johnston's army. By captures
and assertions his boosted army, concentrated
for he desperate defence of the stronghold of
the South is gradually melting away. Those
who note the daily arrivals of Confederate
prisoners from the South, must realize this fact
IN all its glazing plainness. The months are
waning and the rebel army grows weaker day
by day.
We are not over sanguine in our specula-
tiOnS. No army eau stand such untlrlng drains
When we count our prisoners by hundreds
In the twilight OF each closing cay, we are
sure that the work gees quietly but steadily
on; we know that the ranks of the rebel regi-
ments are becoming sadly depleted, and the
strength of the entire command Is growing
feebler. The transfers of rebel prisoners from
this city yesterday was not in excess of the
daily average. Two hundred and fifty privates
were sent TO Rock Island, ILL.,, and ten COM
mi-sioned officers to JOhnsOn's Island. Make
the calculation and see to what fearful proper
tions the product sWells. The month's total ia
many thousands.

Coon PaICE.-We are informed tnas owing
10 the bad prospects of the hay crop. tne prce
for the privilege of cutting the grass on the
school lands has gone up unp.sc;easen.y nign.
70 ten dollars a load. Heretofore the price OBJ.
tained has been fifty cents load. Considering
this advanced price of hay, we would seriously
eni , mon our farmers the real necessity of
sowing an unusual breadth of corn crop for
fodder. If every farmer in the county would
sow one or two acres each' the amount OF feed
cornnensate for the lack of hay. As the time
for sowing is already fully at hand, every n an
