A New Game.

The Petersburg (Va.) Index has
been favored with the diagram and ex-
planation ofa new game, lately invent
ed by COL Charles Richardson, for
merly the commandant of veteran
battalion of artillery in General Lees
army. The Index says of it.:
1t is somewhat similar to the beauti-
full and intricate Chess, but even more
nearly allied in its strategy and combi-
nations to real war than the pastime OF
Philidor and Kassim.
War-Chess, or the Game Of Battle,
is played by two persons with pieces
representing soldiers, Cavalry, Artil-
lery and Infantry,) forming two antag-
onistic armies operating on a board
The board represents comparatively
level country, traversed by river, pas
sable at three points only, viz: the
bridge and two fords.
On one side Of the river there is q
piece representing city which is to be
defended, and, if captured, the player
Of that side loses the game.
On the other side is n figure repre-
senting a wagon--" the supply train o
the army which must be carefully
guarded, as its loss is the defeat Of the
player of the side to which it belongs.
The maneuycring at the beginning OF
the game is, Of course, on the part OF
the first to gain, and on that Of the sec
ond player to prevent, the passage OF
the river. The disposition to be made
according to the arrangement OF the
board and the powers ofthe pieces, are
in accordance with the arms of the ser.
vice which the figures represent. AND
in the very opening of the play endless
variety is obtainablc, as the three as
sailablc points afford easy opportunity
for counter diversions, and
teints, etc
Once across, there is again room fol-
much contest, as the invaded party, by
concentrating rapidly upon the force
crossed, and still holding the remain
ing forls, may at any time, by an at
tack, gain the rear ofhis unguarded ad
vcrsary.

The tone of the rebel journals; the
revolutionary conduct of the bolters
in the Legislature, and the upleasant
temper of the people AS shown in the
late elections, have formed hedge OF
exclusion around our borders higher
than the Chinese wall, and few persons
are so daring rs to risk their lives in a
State which is almost on the verge OF
intestine war.-Fress and Times.
Yes. we are very terrible, no doubt.
But people will at least have credit
for wonderful forbearance, patience and
a pleasant temper, that can tolerate
your presence. IT. after what you have
written and published about the women

Troubles in Tennessee.
From the La Grange (Ga.) RepOrter.l

In consequence Of the Radical pro
ceedings of a majority Of the Legisla-
ture of Tennessee, some twenty OF the
more conservative members have re-
signed, and the Governor Parson
Brownlow) has issued writs of election,
to take place on the 3lst inst, to flll
the vacancies thus made. tits prob
able the same men will be returned, and
the result will be that legislation Will
still be suspended as before.
We deeply sympathise with the
brave people of the "Volunteer State"
They have Governor who manifests
the most Radical spirit OF oppression
to those who were in the Confederate
armies, and the State is cursed with
Legislature who hang upon the Gov
ernor's heels like so many yelping ours
ready to do his bidding-to carry out
and sustain any measure OF oppression
he may set them upon.
In his proclamation he charges that
the resignation of the twenty members
is manifestation of the Righteousness
Of the people, Notwithstanding the
members were all Union men, and
elected according to the form of law
set up by BRowNLow and the support
ers of his dynasty-his tyrannizing
cabal-who now rule the State in the
character of small minority of the
people, and who have taken advantage
of circumstances and disfranchised q
large majority of the voters, composing
the intellect and manliness OF the
State.
We regret to see the bad spirit man.
Tested by Gov. BRowNLow. Heseems
to be destitute of all manner OF good
feeling for the people over whom he
presidcs. Not content with the ces-
sation of hostilities and the clash OF
arms, he is disposed to oppress the
supporters of the Confederate cause
with the direst malignity. From the
most intense pro-slavery man, he has,
by some strange process of reasoning,
transformed himself into the vilcst
Radical abolitionist His discussion
with PRYNE is no more in accordance
with his present teachings than VALNEY
and VoLorAIRE ure in accordance with
the precepts Of Holy Writ.
From our heart Of hearts we sympa-
thize with the brave people of Tcnnes-
see. May God deliver them from the
hands of the Philistines!

LINES ON RECEIVING A LADY'S
PICTURE.

How many glance, when worn and wea-
ry,
When friendsare gone and life seems drea-
ry,
| cast on thee, my gentle dearic,
TO soothe this heart again:
How many hope when all forsakcn.
When every earthly tie seems shaken.
Thy calm, sweet smile, beloved, can waken
To drive away each pain.
When, one by one, youths dreams depar-
ted,
linger on-though weary-hearted,
Each pleasure of the present thwartcd--
'Tis then Igaze on thee;
And rs mark the lovely vision,
Thy deep soft eye still seems to glisten,
And to those tones seem to listen
That oft brought joy tome.
All those soft words do still cnchant me-
In memory's light they seem to hauntme-
And, Us it We're, een do grant me.
That dream of joy again.
And long as shall keep this token,
Shall seem the treasured spell unbrokcn.
And thy sweet words of love seem spoken,
Almost rs sweet as then. y. I.I.

ERrprIoNs IN CENTRAL AMERICA
The Panama Star reports the Volcano
Turrialba, some ten leagues from Car
tago, in very active state, emitting
volumes ofsmoke and dust. The thun-
der from these cruptions caused many
a sleepless night to the unfortunate
inhabitants within the surroundings of
the mountain. Several severe shocks
of earthquakes were experienced in
San Jose, Costarica, during which time
the wells drying up caused great anxi-
ETY. and inconvenience. Falls of vol
canic dust prevailed to a great extent
throughout the region of Costa Rica,
and even within a few miles of the town
of Punta Arenas. On board of the
steamship Guatemala, ashes of almost
an impalpable nature were discovered
on the exposed parts of the ship.

THE CONQUERED BANNER.

Furl that banner for It's weary.
Round Its staff It's dropping dreary;
Furl 1t. fold 1t, it is best;
For there's not 4 man to wave it;
And there's not a sword to save It;
And there's not one left TO lave IL,
In the blood which heroes gave 1t:
And its foes now scorn and brave it;
Furl 1t, hide it, let it rest.
Take the banner down, it's tattercd;
Broken Is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered.
Ger whom 1t tloated high.
Oh tits hard for us to fold IT.;
Hard to think there's none to hold 1t;
Hard that those who once unrolled it,
Now must furl it with u sigh.
Furl that banner furl 1t sadly;
Once ten thousand hailed it gladly,
And ten thousand wildly, madly,
Swore it would forever wave
SwOre that f0eman's sword could never,
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,
Till that flag would float forever,
Der their freedom or their grave.
Furl it for the hands that graspcd it,
And the hearts that tOndly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that banner, it Is trailing,
While around 1t sounds are wailing,
OF its people in their woe.
For, though conquered, they adore it,
Love the cold, dead hands that bore it,
Weep for those cWho fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
And oh! wildly they deplore it.
Now to ftlrl and fold it so.
Furl that banner! true It's CORY,
Yet tits wreathed around with glory,
And It will live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust,
For its fame on brightest pages.
Penned by poets and sagc>.
Shall 90 sounding down through ages,
Furl its folds though now we must.
Furl that banner! softly. slowly;
Treat it gently, it is holy
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not-untold it never.
Let it drOop there, ftlrled forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead.
