TO the city next week.
The l., C. & l.. Road are again commenc-

The B. & O. will run excursions into this
city every Thursday till October 11th.
The bonds of the c., H. & ,. Road which,
a month ago. were quoted at 95 cents, are
now selling readily at II cents.
The l., c. & L. Railroad Company have
announced by circular that hereafter the
sum of ~ per day damages will be charged
on all box-cars belonging to business men
which are not unloaded within two days
after being placed in position for unloading
Mr.. John King, First Vice President of
the B. & o., and Receiver of the 0. & NJ.
and M. u G., will remove to this point Octo-
her 1st, and since this is now the most CEN
trail point Of the Western Division Of this
road, several of the most important officers
will be located here
The various passenger agents of the sew
eral roads, which are tributary to the O. &

The track of the Cincinnati Southern is
now laid to Rock Creek, Tennessee 9S
miles from Chattanooga, but the further
progress is at present delayed by the Rock
Creek Bridge, which will probably be fin
shed next week. On the northern end the
track has reached Bear Creek, 204 miles
south of Cincinnati. Here the tracklaying
is also waiting for the erection of bridge
which will take several days yet to COM
pete. There remains but "a miles of track
to be laid, which will be finished by the
middle of November if not delayed. The
two ends of the road will meet at New
River, where another large bridge must be
built.

PoMPEII.

Dead centuries like gobins haunt the fair Italian
plain,
Where Pompeii, like Lazarus, hath burst the grave
in twain:
Lol from her brow the darkness that for twice
thousand years,
Hath wrapped her in its cerements like mist Of
morning GEARS
The buried past awakes at last to breathe her tales
once more,
Where Pompei unsepulchered stands quickened
on the shore.
Above her widowed head as ever the stars Of
heaven blaze,
But to her silent forum now but strangers come 10
gaze;
Behold her amphitneater no longer bathed in
gore,
Her causeways where the ehariots in the noon
time crowd no more
Before her gates no throng awaits, no sentry mans
Beneath her blazing Pleiades no watchman calls
the hours.
The moonlight gilds the fountains but no muir
mring waters flow,
The ashen waves have whelmed her quays whence
never ship may go;
Her palaces stand waiting for the masters feet
iOcome,
Her ribuneS for the orators whose lips OF dust are
dumb;
The silent fame awaits in vain for altar fires to
burn,
The feet of priest and votary that never more re-
turn.
Eo lictor waves his snowy slaves, no poet tunes
his Tyre,
no questor counts the golden stores imperial
pomps require;
No war hose strains the tightened reins, no BAN
nerS kiss the air.
But day by day the mountain gray the heavens
shroud IN gloom,
While shudderng pilgrims tread alike city and
tomb.
Obi specter, shall the grave refuse thy wearines
surceaSe?
Oh, grave! can thy cold arms afford forgetfulness
nor peace?
Twere death to. live when lips are mute that
loved to press thine own,
And twic- to die when thou art left to sail lifes
seas alone;
But bitterness of bitterness when hopes sweet
dreams have fled,
70 rise pha,tom from the tomb where all lfes
joys lie dead
