All Quid Along the Potomac To-
Night.
••All quiot along the Potomac,” the/
say,
"Eif apt now and then a stray pieket
I* shot, as he walks on his beat to and
fro.
By a rifleman hid in the thicket.”
*Tis nothing—a private ar two, now and
then.
Will not count in .tha news of the
battle.
Not an officer lost—only one of tho raea
Moaning out, all alone, tha death rattle.
All quiet along the Potomac to night,
Where the soldiers lie peacefully
dreaming;
Their tents in the .rays of the clear au-
• tumu moon,
Or the light of the watob-lrea are*
gleaming.
A tremulous sigh as the gentle night
wind
Through the forest leaves slewly is
creeping;
While the stars up above, with their
Maryland and elsewhere which might tlnce days, and the
indues them to relax their eftbrts. | . f f olu tl , mt P or * "gSMJr ‘V™
I am told by ene who has hud excel-
lent opportunities of ascertaining Briti i 3a7,000 hales; so that Mr. Villiers,
ish opinion, mid Upon whose m moment
glittering eyes,
Keep guard—for
tkearmy is alteping.
There’s only the sound of the lone sen
try’s tread,
As he tramps from the rook to the
fountain,
And thinks of the two on the low trun
dle bed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain;
Uia musket fails slack—his face dark
and grim,
Grnws gentle with memories tender,
As ho mutters a prayer Tor tho childron
asleep— *
For their mother, may Heaven de
fend her.
The moon seems to shine ae brightly
ae then,
That night when the lave yet un
spoken,
Leaped up to his lips, and when low
murmered vows,
Were pledged to bo ever unbreken ;
Then drawing his sleeves roughly over
his eyes,
He dashes ofl' tears that are welling.
And gathors his gun close up ' to its
place,
As if to keep down the heart swel
ling.
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine
t'se,
The footstep is lagging and weary,
Tet onward lie goes through the broad
belt of light
Towards the shades of e forest so
dreary.
Hark 1 was it the night wind that rus"
tied the leaves t
Was it the moonlight so'wondrously
flashing?
It looked like a rifle—"Ha V Mary, good
bye 1"
And the life blood is ebbing and
splashing.
All quTet along the Potomac to-night,
Ho sound save the rush of the river;
While soft falls the slew on the face of
the dead—
The pickets efl' duty, forever.

MrJohu Trout, Esq., who keeps a

comes along without money ho charges
him nothing. Hu keeps a most excel

®&“W. F. Davison, of Coffee County,
Tentn, brought to Chattanooga last
week, some oxoellont jeans, which lie
sold at two dollars and a half a yard,
whilst an interior article was selling
here at from four to six dollars a yard.
He refused to sell to any except those
who wanted it for their own use.
the utmost reliance may be' placed,
that as soon as Mr. Slidoll readied his
lost, he was visited pr.vately by Kng-
Ishmen of the Tory party, who express
ed the warmest sympathy for our causa
nud premised active support from the
English poople. For a time Mr. Slidell
believed these assertions, but when
month after month passed without the
fulfilment^f their premises, he deemed
it his duty to express in tho rlsitiest
manner, his estimate of English fideli
ty. My informant says that England
thinks it te her inteiest to. prolong the
war, ab it hslpt to break down a great
commercial livnl, to emancipate her
from King Cotton, end gives her the
caarying trade of the whole world. He
therefore, regards all hopes of recogni
tion and intervention as delusions,
tending to injure us extiemely if we
persist in them and ahate our endeav
ors.
In confirmation of these views, a wri
ter in tiie Inquirer just relumed from
the North, gives at length his reasons
for believing that the war will be a long
one. That the success of the Boymour
arty will avail us anything is intpossi-
le, for that part) cries out ns strongly
as the Republicans for a vigorous prost-
cation of the war. Indeed, if we look
the matter full, in the face, we must see
that the war is obliged to go on until
one side or the other it much, worse
beaten than either iiavebecn, Hence
the article in to-day’s Examiner is time
ly, calling atten^on as it does, to the
faot that Ilia enemy is assembling a
large force in Tennessee, to' cu-opcrate
with tho attack on Mobile, and to over
run Alabama and the Colton Stales
generally.
The President has bee* invisibl
since last Saturday. Up to yesterday
lie was closeted all the time with Bragg,
who returns tc his command with the
approving smiles of the Executive.
Since Bragg departed Mr. Davis lias
been in deep consultation with Gens.

The planters in Hanover county have

property nt enormous prices continue.
A gentleman yesterday completed ■ the

year ago, and cleared on U thiuben
thousand dollars.
Notwithstanding tha high prices, a
great deal of feasting and junketing
goes on. Sumptuous dinners huvebren
given to prominent Generals visiting or
reeidout here, and 1 see by the Dispatch
that ‘a magnificent ball and supper
wil> bo given at tho Deievau House, by
a gentleman who has distinguished
himself as an officer in the Southern
Confederacy. Officers and gentle
men of respectability solicited to at

The next disclosure ivns that wo have
a prospect of-a supply, in 1803. of V
030,000 out of the4,000,000 which is tho
largest quantity desired, ut the ordinary
rute of prices. This amount Will be just
double tho quantity used per week for
the last three months; and thus it would
scorn that the worst must be past. At
the l-econt higlt prices the weekly, aver
age taken by tite trade lias boon 15,1:7s,
and the promised supply, independent
of any'change in American attaint, will
yield 31,340 hale* per week. Tho sourc
es of this supply are India, tho Brazils
Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy, chanco
cargoes from America, and "oilier sour
ces.” These “other sources” are credit
ed with only 25,000. Considering that
the West Indies are included under this
head, it is reasonable to hope that the
supply may turn out tc have been un
derrated oven U>r the coming eeason.
The reports trotn Jamaica are in the
highest degrno encourutting. both as to
the flourishing condition of tho grow-
iug crop and tiio rapid increase of the
area devoted to cotton. In Guiana and
Dcninntru tho proprietors are setting
heartily to work to procure the requi
site labor, which may probably be sup
plied from the United States. Agricul
tural machinery of the highest order
has been sent out to Port Rico, which
is expected to supply u large quantity,
not less than the produce of 2,000 acres
next year, and the quality of the West
India cotton is dcclured to be scarcely
short of the highest rates ol American.
Already tvu see that, us time passes en,
we Und ourselves under the process of
being weaned frem our obstinate reli

J®rThe Richmond Examiner re.
marks: We may safely say that it num
ber of facts hove been ascertained bo-
yond all reasonable doubt by this Gov
ernment. These are that England and
France were probably on tha point of
recognizing us at the time of the unex
pected full of New Orleans ; that; France
could not act without the co-operation
of England; but that the French Gov
ornment had givm express and repent
ed assurances thntour recognition would
not be delayed if. wo obtained successes
in Virginia and tho West sufficiently
important to overshadow the great dir
aster at New Orleans. This is reliable,
and is, of itself, quite sufficient to pro-
pare the public mind for some rievr
development just about this time on
the subject of European recognition.
