says:

Der of the Cincinnati press, who had risen not
only from printer to editor, but from private
to general, was killed far 10 advance of his
command while galantly leading an assault
upon our lines His horse bore his corpse into
our lines, and the stecd and his dead rider were
both captured. So soon as it was known that

as greatly admired South as North, II anu
Dying, Egypt, Dying, lay dead in the camp,
ctficers and men crowded around to take last
look at the face Of the poet-soldlec who had
achieved SO great a literary triumph. There
was DO rejoicing over the death Of this fallen
enemy; but there was in truth something on
each soldier check that for the moment wash
cd away the stains of powder. Tcndcry they
took him up, aud when the battle was over an
escort Vi honor, appointed from among the
leading Confederate officers, bore him back to
his own camp under flag OF truce, on rude:

cloak around him. In life he had touched that
chord of human sympathy which makes all the
world akiu--and in death its harmonious vlbra'

hearts alike OF friends and foes with nobler
passion than hatred or revenge.

am dying, Egypt, dylng-
Ebbs the crimson life-tidc fast
Aud the dark PIutonian shadows,
Gather on the evening blast
Let thine arm, oh Queen support me,
Hush thy sobs aud bow thine ear
Listen to the great heart secrets
Thou, and thou alone must hear.
Though my Scared aud veteran legions
Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked aud shattered galleys
Strew dark Actlum' fatal shore.
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to do their master will,
nus, perish like Roman
Die the great Triumvlr still.
Let not Cesar's servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low
Twas 20 tocman's hand that slew him,
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Hear, then, pillow d on thy busou
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him, who drunk with thy carcsses,
Madly flung world away
Should the base plebean rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home
Seek hcr--say the gods have told me,
Affairs, augurs, circliDg wings,
That her blood, with mine commiDgled,
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
And for thee, star-cyed Egyptian,
Glorious sOrcereSS OF the Nile,
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the splcndor OF thy smlle;
Give TO Cesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel twlue,
could scorn the Scnate's triumph,
Triumphipg in love like thine!
| am dying, Egypt dying!
Ilark the Insulting toeman's cry,
They are coming quick my ialchlon
Let me front them ere die
All 40 more amid the battle
Shall my heart eXulting swell,
Isis and Osisis guard thee
Cleopatra Rome farewell
The following additional stanzas have been
led anonymously:
Like love-bcsottcd Roman
Did he try the stygian wave,
Nor could Egypt's God, Oslsis,
Nor her Queen, his mistress, save.
Where is now the fair encbantress-
Where her drunken Roman slave?
Their mad souls, so mad with passion
Fluid 40 rest in earthly grave!
In the deep Tartarean Hades
Wandering still these lovers live
Seeking Lethe's quiet waters,
Or some guide, some hope to give.
But the sunlit fields, Elysian,
Never open to their sight;
All around them Stygian darkness
Aud the black Piutoniau night.

THE NEW POSTAL LAW.

The new postal law, which goes into
effect January first, will produce some
radical changes in business. The re.
form Of requiring all printed matter,
as well as letters, to be prepaid, has
long been needed, and it has been q
matter Of wonder that it was not ac-
complished long ago. The old system
was nuisance to everybody concerned
publishers, po,tmaster,, and the pub
lie, and mort of all to the Government
itself, for the system of collecting a
few cents quarterly in advance from
each subscriber to periodical i, so
petty, that much has been overlooked,
and never collected, or never paid
over.
by the new system the postage will
be paid by weight in bulk, at the office
from which periodicals are sent 40
that publishers Of the great weekiie.
aud monthlies will be able, in few
months, TO pay the postage on i'm.
mensc quantities Of printed matter,
sent to one hundred thousand persons,
perhaps, which now requires the per-
sonal attention Of possibly one hund
red and fifty thousand to two hundred
thousand people, aud halfa million
Of entries.
After the FIRST of January publishers

postmsstsrs, etc. These commissions
have been increased from time to timo,
from the competition smong,publishers,
until the most ridiculous results have
been reached.
The merchants OF large cities are al
ready preparing to take advantage of
the new law. One of the largest dry
coed firms in New York has
issued a notice that it will send sam
pies on application, and transmit goods
through the mails to any part Of the
United States.
