Nothing is lost, the drop of dew
That trembles on the leaf or flowers
Is but exhumed to fall anew
In summers thunder shower;
Perchance to shine within the bow
That fronts the sun at full of day
Perchance tc sparkle in the flow,
Of fountains far away.
Naught lost, for even the finest seed,
By wild birds borne, on breezes blown,
Finds something suited to its need,
Wherein tits sown and grown
Perchance finds sustenance and soil
In some remote and desert place,
Or mid the crowded homes of toll
Sheds usefulness and grace.
The little drift of common dust,
BY the March winds disturbed and tossed,
Though scattered by the fitful gust,
Is changed, but never lost;
1t yet may bear some sturdy stem
Some proud oak battling with the blast,
Or crown with verduous diadem
Some ruin of the past.
The furnace quenched, the fame put out,
Still cling to earth or soar in air,
Transformed, difused, and blown about,
To burn again elsewhere,
Haply to make the beacon blaze
That CLEANS athwart the briny waste,
Or light the social lamp, whose rays
Illnme the home of taste.
The touching tones of minstrel art,
The breathing of some mournful flute,
Which we have heard with list'ning heart,
Are not extinct when mute;
The language of some household song
The perfume of some cherished flower,
Though gone from outward sense, belong
To memory's after-hour.
So with our words, or harsh, or kind,
Uttered than nt all forgot

From Tsnnsssee-The situation.

Numerous reports were in circulation yester.
day relative to tho "military situation, =" in
Middle Tennessee. Rebels and rebel symps.
thizers appeared to be highly entertained BY
such as represented Hood aiming for Nashville,
and not very far distant; but we can scarcely
believe them SO verdant as TO expect him TO do
anything more than make a demonstration.
If he should DO "spoiling for fight" he can
get one very soon.
The national forces on Wednesday withdrew
from Pulaski, and have taken up Q strong Do
sition at Columbia. The rebels occupied Pu-
laski early after the evacuation. Forrest's
cavalry, having the advance of Hoods army,
skirmished the greater part OF Thursday AFTER
noon with our picket line in front of Columbia,
but nothing serious grew out OF the matter,
We are informed that many Of the citizens Of
Pulaski withdrew with our troops. They have
had taste Of rebel rule, and are unwilling TO
try 1t again. We presume the conscript agents
are actively at work by this time. We hope
they will "gather in" every rebel left In that
section.
The utmost confidence Is felt here In the
aollity OF Gen. Thomas, and the strength and
efficiency OF his noble army. Should Hood
SIX battle he will go up. p."-Nashvils Union,

Returned prisoners from Georgia relate that
gang Of fellows among their number got into
the practice Of stealing from their comrades
In arms and In captivity whatever they could
lay their hands on. Newly arrived prisoners
were plucked by these harpies and in several
instances murder was added to robbery, the
bodies being buried by the murderers. It was
determined by our men TO try the rascsls by
court-martial, and, with the consent of the
rebel authorities, trial was had aud siI Of
them were convicted and hung. The hanging
was done with rope used by the rebels for
drawing water from q well, for which they
paid six dollars. After tn csc executions had
taken place, property was respected In the
camp, not even a tin cup being stolen from
that time forth.
