# o [from the Richiitiitnd Whig-] LETTER FROM MR. RIVES. W* tn peTmiUed to onke public the follow- ■ liif tetter from Mr. Ri»e« to a well known gen tleman of Lynchburg. It in as encouraging in it* opinion* and it* hiftnrical eitation*. as it i* ele gant m style and able anil patriotic in sentiment. It* appearance, too, i* fortunately timed, anil it j cannot be without the happiest effect on the j public mind. It would ha well if a copy ol it slmnld fall under the eye of,every citizen of the Confederate State*, aml we are sure that onr Itemporaric* of tlie Rresawill gladly aid in giv ig it the widest circulation : Mr DraluSin: —I learn from you with great reyret that some of our fellow-citizens are a'good - * ! discouraged by fecent events in our milita rv pperaliona, while you yourself, 1 am glad to ace, retain your accustomed erecttieaa atid buoy ancy oL ipfrit.

With all these edd» ainst us, what a long and dazzling roll of ti l cies haro wo furnished lor the pen of the lut.- ■ historian of the war!

OutsiuH*, and fragmentary portions of territory have, in some instances, heeu temporarily and reluctantly abandoned lo the enemy, as not jus liiying the attempt to defend them at the risk of it.o control and more important portions; hut in jin case has the heart or grand interior of the territory been yet penetrated. In the Vulley of Iho Mississippi the course of events bus been moru chequered by alternate y and and bad fortune. Springfield, Columbus, ttUiloh, and even Murfreesboro', were noble suc cesses for us. Fort Donelson, Corinth, New Orleans, recall the remembrances of sad disas ters; au l to these ha* been recently added the loss of Vicksburg and Port Hudson. 1 have no disposition to extenuate the gravity of any of these disasters. But looking at them in their very worst aspect, there is nothing in any or all qf them to give ri>« to a feeling of despondency. The enemy is ns far soever from the great object h« had in view—the free and unmolested navi- I ation of the Mississippi for commercial purpo sed. lta banka are still accessible for hundreds nf mile*, within our territory, to our shurprhoot eis and movable batteries, that.can and will prevent the use af the river by trading vessels, and effectually interdict it to all practical com merce. The inhabitants of the country ure nun- rouecJ than *ycr by the outrages of the enemy ; anil redoubled efforts will be made to render his local successes bootless to him. We line two poworful and noble armies under John son and on 'ln' Eastern side of the river, which are strengthened daily by the Confede rate conscription and by the zealous co-operation of the adjacent State Governments; while on the Western side of the river art> the enterpri sing and indomitable commands of Price, of Kirby Smith, of Taylor, and of Magnifier, to strike wherever the enemy may present himself. When this situation is compared with the many uuavoidabie reverses and endless difficul ties which our brave ancestors had to encourage, and so gloriously surmounted 111 their struggle tor independence, who doee not feel his spirit re buked at the slightest thought of discouragement under our present circumstances 1 Recollect the condition of Washington in the second year «t iho war of the revolution, when, after suc cessive sad sorer* disaster* on Long Island, at \»w York, at White Plains, and the loss of foil Wnshihgftou, on the Hudson, with its gar lisou, hs was compelled to retreat through the Jersey.*. •• pushed,” to use Iris own expressive language, -from place to piece, till we were obliged to causa the Delaware with fess than three thousand men bt for duty,"’ end the reluc tant co»: mou wh extorted from his firm and ■••oly br«*«t thet unteee "anew army can he 'S-e.'■ y recruited the game is pretty' nearly up’* even in this extremity there was no despon dency. no dmouiagement. The pressure and ire gUituce oi *lio daageee wuK supplied new en ergies of action, and stisauleted to redoubled ex eition, and in * few day a the brilliant achieve ments of Trenton and Princeton redressed the balance of victory. In every period of lire revolutionary contest a large portion of our territory was overrun aud occupied by the enemy. In tire South, Greene w re compelled to raSra before Cornwallis, as Washington had done before the Howes in Die North, Georgia, (tenth Carolina, North Caro lina, Virginia, each and all of them, East of the Blue Weuhtaine, weie overrun for a time bv the auniee of the enemy, while all the chief cities in thej.Sorth and i* ths South—Boaton, Ncwj«>rt, New York. Philadelphia, Richmond, Norfolk, 'Vllmin Uharleetou and Savannah —were all for a lougamr shorter period in hi. possession. But if the country was overrun, the hearts of the pe- :i0 were not avers wed. With them and their truetad eeivante, whether in the eooncil or in the field, there *ll no despair of the repub lic. They felt st Washington, when most op* ureosoo by the complicated difficulties of hi* < rt. in, writing to hia brother: “Under a full pereuaeion of the jiatioe of our cause, I cannot c, .e-uia an idea that it will dually sink, though 1 . .nay ren.iia fai a time under a cloud.” All history proves that a brave and uncorrupted j people, de rtnined t.> b« free, n«wet ,»* be sub dued by the inaoieut superiority of lour and I nurube r. h were, disproportiou.fi.

If ever a people ! trad apt a- n‘ cause for despondency, it was ihe n<f people of Rome when Hannibal with his Car- , thaganian hosts, .viler three successive victories J on the Tissue, the Eieseyi a»d the Thraaymene. in his triumphal march toward* ra F lt *j| **" * most annihilated the Roman army 1,1 * and Cannc, leaving more than forty tbousaiW Roman citizens dead upon the field, including one of the , Consuls in command, many Senators i*-C<V>- ; sills, Pretors, tEdiles and otnem of the highest • rank and consideration. But. amid the conster nation of so terrible a calamity, the spirit ol the Republic never blanched. *' hen the surviving Consul, whose rashness even had been the cause of the disaster, approached the city vyiib the wreck of his army, -the Senate and all fafikaot people, we are told by- ofie af their great histo rians, went out lo meet him and thanked him for not having despaired of the Commonwealth. And in the end it was not Rome, but Carthage, that perished in the canflict. Ko, too, when we come down to the period of modern history. Is it jiossilde to conceive a struggle more unequal in numbers, armament, and every material resource Hum that, in thc_ sixteenth century, between the seven insurgent provinces of the Netherlands, beginning with two of them only, and the whole weight ami power of the Spanish Monarchy in its meridian of splandfir, when, in addition to the resources of its large dominions in Italy, the Netherlands and the Peninsula, including Portugal, it wielded tha riches of America and the Indies united ! And vet, hv the indomitable courage and perse verance of the inhabitants, animated with the spirit of civil religious liberty, and in spite of calamities and disaster which tried to the ut termost the heroic stufl'of which they were made, leaving to them oltcn no other resource than, by cutting their dy-kes, to call in the aid of that de structive element it had cost them ages ot labor and toil A shut out, they redeemed their native, land f'rqm the remorseless surges of a despotism more ferocious than thesea; triumphantly estab lished their independence, arid constituted a re nowned commonwealth which, lor two hundred years, proudly held its place ill the first rank ol the Powers of Europe. If we wish further to see what prodigies an un dismayed spirit of national independence, bat tling upon its own soil for its hearths and its al tars, is capable of accomplishing against the ! odds of force and numbers’ look at the example of the sajvi* people, Under the third "Willliam of Orange, magnanimously bidding defiance to the united and powerful armies.of Louis Xiy.-ot France., and Charles 11. of England; look at Prussia, under Frederick 11., in the memorable Seven Years' Wat, successfully contending against almost all the powers of continental Europe—Austria, France, the German Stales, Sweden and Russia —all banded together, at the same moment, iu the invasion of her territory; look, again, at the miracles of successful valor, accomplished, some thirty years infer, by the people of revolutionary France, in the enthusiasm of liberty and in vindication ot tho right of na tional self-government, against a second and more formidable combination of all Europe, both insular and continental. What any of these people accomplished, we are certainly capable ot accomplishing. We have the same love of liberty; we have the same devotion to our native land; we have the same martial ardor; we have the same, and even greater, motives to exert every faculty for our.de liverance. With the most of them, the great .mistake involved Was .national independence and political rights. With us, in addition to all this, everything precious to the human affections,’ everything sacred to the human heart, is at is sue. From the ruthless spirit in which this war has been waged by our adversaries ; from the Specimens we have had of their infamous pro consular governments in parts of our territory occupied by them; from the appeals they are now making to the vindictive and brutal pas sions of an uncivilized race as their allies in this unholy crusade against us, it is impossible for the imagination to picture a fate more horrible than ours would be, if we were uriee sub jected to their power. 1 know no language which, iu that case, could adequately paint the depth of our degradation and the extent of our wretchedness, unless it be those burning lines of au English poet, in which he gave vent to his feelings of- horror and indignation, when depre cating the iron rule of a vulgar and hypocritical tyranny in his own land : Come the eleventh plague rather than it should he ; Come stink. us rather 1q thesea; < 'uini*rather pestilence and heap ns down; Come God’s sword, rather than our own. Let rather Homan come again. Or Saxon. Norman, or" the Pune, In all the bonds we ever bore, We grieved, we sighed, we wept, wc never blushed beforp.- In the foregoing remarks, it iuis been assumed that the enemy’s forces were, in numbers, much greater than ours. This has,undoubtedly, hereto fore been the fact. But lam firmly persuaded that notwitestunding the immense difference in the actual population of the two countries, wo shall henceforward have an army in the field at all times fully equal in number to theirs; and that, surely, is all we need desife. The energies of the South are just beginning to he thorougoly aroused. We already see a proposition in lhe Legislature of Alabama to extend the limits of the military age liciow eighteen years to sixteen, and above forty-live to sixty. This Was the old Spartan rule, and prevailed a long time in Eng land, until the institution of standing armies, ami her insular situation, made her careless with regard to the military organization of the mass of her population. But our circumstances may Well justify a recurrence to the ancient rule, so far, at least, as to call out the supplementary classes for local defence. The spirit of the peo ple. there can be no doubt, would nobly respond to such a call, while the demands of the crisis, appealing to the instinctive courage of men, and enforced by the pleading loveliness of woman, will keep our active army full within the limits of the age heretofore prescribed for it. * The situation of our adversary presents a very " different picture. .The popular fervor for the war, first kindled, and for sometime kept up by delu sive protexts, is abated ami abating. The diili culties and general repugnance opposed to their recent draft have converted it into very little more than a barren mockery. No large access-: ions to their army, already much reduced by the expiration of enlistments and the casualties of war, can now lie had hv force or persuasion. 7 lie cordial support of public opinion, in the present age of the world, is indispensable to the effective prosecution of every war. Great as has been the amount ofprejudiceand delusion and bad feeling among the people of the North towards us, happi ly “reason hath not tied to brutish beasts.” Many t>f them now see that the present war is, almost without disguise, a war for the extermination or degradation of the white race by the installation of the blacks hi virtual dominion over them;aud in such a war, they have no motive of synipalhy. or interest to engage them. Others, profiting, a! last, by the sagacious lessons of Chatham, Burke. Foxnind that noble hand of patriots am), statesmen in Englund, who manfully opposed the war upon the American colonies from the start, begin to see that the triumph of lawless despotism over the independence of the South would be equally fate! to their remnant of con stitutional liberty at home. From the operation °f these and other causes, the military, with the moral strength ol'the North in this contest, will go on decreasing, white ours will as certainly increase. <>n whatever side I look, then, I see uo omen o iscouragement, but, on the eontrarv, new grounds ot assurance, with regard to the ulti whfeh w ccrt^n tnum P h of the great cause In wmh we are embarked. We n ,av have occa* | stonal reverses m il to future, as we have hid them in the past. These are often salutary tri iis ot our constancy and faith, and needful ad.no,d tions to increased vigilance and exertion. Ex' n her.nc Charleston, for whose fate every b. „ om is how yearning with anxiety, ma'v t p under the extraordinary means concern rated lor her destruction. But if she does, ii will be j inn Ware of glorv that will irradiate the reln test corner of the Confederacy, and light t! e j way to retributive victories elsewhere, while it e j herself will be destined to rise again with increa !ed splendor from her ashes. The capture of 1 Athens hr the Persians ushered in the glorious days of Salami's and PiaUes. and when rc-occu pied. strengthened and adorned by tho pious hands of her children, she was more than ever the envy and nbmiration of the world. No local or occasional disaster can chock the onward pro gress ot a great cause, blessed with the approving smiles ot Heaven, and sustained bv stout hearts with unceasing vigilance and unfaltering taith. a.

Gentlemen of the City < 'oiineil ot Augusta : j In accordance with my usage, 1 pres.-lit you i at this, the October Session of your body, with my Annual Message. And allow me, m the j outset, to congratulate you upon the unanimity which has prevailed among you since your en trance upou the discharge of your duties, fee at tention which you have given to all matters m relation to the interest of the City, and the ability which you have displayed in the admin istration <>f affairs. It is true that, up to this period of tho H-frn ofYour .ofiice, you have had to consider qndxletermine upoubut few subjects of great importance to the commercial, manu facturing, or industrial classes of our popula tion—the mighty contest in which our country is now engaged rendering itiuip-ossitile to carry into'successful operation any g.eat measure of public improvement, if any such were necessary; hut it is a matter of no slight difficulty for those to whom the people have committed the guar dianship of their interests to attend to the de tails of tlfcir position iu such a manner as lo give satisfaction to those whom they represent. ’File routine business of every. Municipal Gov ernment is laborious ; and, to perform the duty properly, it is necessary that the incumbents should not only be industrious, but that they should be intelligent and experienced. lam proud to be able to say that all my exertions for the benefit of onr community have met widt your zealous co-operation. Tins Finances. * There is now in the Treasury of the Cily the sum of ahoflt two hundred thonsamt dollars. -» One hundred thousand dollars of which is the amount set apart by your body as a Sinking Fund for.tl e re leuiption of the Change bills is sued by the Cily. T.o Financial Department is iu excellent condition ; and no fear need be entertained of our ample ability to respond promptly to any and all of our obligations. I do not recommend any expenditure at this time for any purpose not absolutely necessary. Whatever we may- have to do iu this branch of onr duties should be. and will be, cheerfully done, I am well convinced, for the relief and comfort of the families «and onr soldiers and our .other poor. Let what will come, these must be provided for ; and t here can be presented to us no objects so worthy of onr care and consider ation. * ■ ' * There will be. iu my judgment, no necessity for air increase of-taxation for (lie ensuing fi nancial year. The present rate has proved suf ficient lo citable its to meet all the .demands upon tlie Treastfry , and I believe that the same rate will keep ps iu as favorable a condition du ring the next year. li is now of far greater im portance to onr citizens than ever before in the history of Align-ta, that the Gity Government should render the burthens to.be borne by tax payers as light as possible. Auwcsta Fukvsyino Association. Tt is with the highest gratification that I bring to the attention ot Council the Augusta I’urveying Association ; an institution from which, at its inception and establishment, much was expected, and which lias pi oven to be, in the distressed period through winch we are now passing, of incalculable lieuefit to the poor of our city, io.-the families of our soldiers in and out of the service, and to alt who are. l,y their condition, entitled to n particpiU.fi >n iu Us ad vantages. 1 cannot too highly commend the objects tor which it wits commenced; aud it is impossible, in the limits lo which 1 am restrict ed, to depict a tithe«nf the good which it lias accomplished dining the time which it has been in operation Tt was long ago, in the history of this war, considered by me to be a uiattei of permanent, import it/ce that those of our com munity who were unable to purchase the neces- saries of life at the price demanded by holders —then enormously high, and whi h, 1 foresaw!, w%u!d steadily increase—should have provision made for them by public action and by private contribution ; and, as will be recol lected, 1 urged the project both upon Council and the people. The result lias been that large nu ud i ere of our suffering poor who, without the aid thus extended, would be entirely unable to procure many of tlie most in lispcuaable arti cles of food and clothing, are daily rdtieved.— Under the personal superintendence of careful officers, and with a conriuiianOe ot the libeiali ty extended toil by men of means, by.railroad officers, and by the officials of Confederate and State Governments, who control transportation, the sphere of usefulness of this Association must be greatly widened. In this connection it would be unpardonable in me not to allude to the conduct of the Au gusta Factory, and the worthy President of that corporation, William K. .laekson. Esq.— This gentleman, with a liberality width itoes biiii infinite hurior, and which should, and 1 doubt not will, lie gratefully rejnemliered in (he pleasanter days to come by all those who have been and are the recipients’ol his kindness, has done all that la v in hi»power to assist the Man agers of the Purveying Association in their praiseworthy purposes He has furnished large supplies of cloth, t aeon and other necessaries, at the lowest possible prices, which supplies have been dispensed to the necessitous of our city. Without tlie assistance which he has free ly and cheerfully rendered, the power of the Associ ttion to do good would have been great ly cramped, and that too at times when aid could have been obtained from no other quar ter. l take great, pleasure in bearing this pub lic testimony to his liberality and public spirit; and sincerely trust that be may find an ample reward in tire future acknowledgcmnts of ids countrymen, as I am assured lie will in the ap proval of bis own heart. City prPicsus. Tin} officers of the City have, ns my observa tion assures me, discharged their various duties to the best of their ability. lam not aware that the City now lias in its employ, or filling auyof its official positions, a man who is incom petent to perform the luntfoi us of the place. It is highly iinpoutint at ull times, and more es pecially so at this juncture, when (lie aid of the civil power is frequently necessary to the mili tary aim, that the civil officers should be capa ble, energi lie, ami intelligent. Much may de pend uj on them. To prevent anarchy, or. at least, great couliisiou, -it is indispensable that the civil administration of attaint should go on with lhe fame regularity as heretofore—lhat men should pay lhe same respect to laws in tended for the benefit of society, the security ol life, reputation, aud property, that they ren dered in peaceful limes. I have used every exertion-to lender the Po lice force its cttijicuti as possible. That body having been organized its a milit-.i v corps, anil subjected to stated dfllls .nd discipline, is p'&ced in a condition to be ol essentitl service should the occasion arise. I have no doubt that in any emergency they would be found hilly equal to any demand that could be.-reasonably made upon them. , . In this dark hnuj>of the country’s history,- it is a sac. ed duty devolving upon every citi zen. whatever may be his station or condition, to encourage, by all means in his power, the hearts of our brave deleuders, and to use every exertion to advance the cause, upon the success of which his own future prosperity depends.— The di ep and swelling river of blood which sep arates us lioni die North can never be bridged by human hands; but -it will roll onward through all time, an impassable barrier to eve rything like unity between the two sections.— | it is not by gs way lo despondency, that we can accomplish any desirable result. To sit supinely lamenting, wnen there is work for men to do, is to proclaim that we are wholly unwor thy of tho proud destiny of freemen. N. lions, 1 ke individual , must meet with reverse. ; an iininten up ted career ot triumphs no rational man wbl expect. He is the patriot and the he ro, who. in the midst of the storm raging around him', fixes hia gaze upon the glowing star in the future, and, with a heart beating high with hope and a dim resolution, lhat uo disaster can dampen, pursnee his course ctearii ly onward, until he emerges from the darkness and stands tortlt redeemed in, the light ot, suc cess and independence.

With but a scanty force of illv equlpped militia, without the appliances of war —their chief cities in the enemy’svpossess on— their country devastated by tire and sword— they struggled on with a determination never sttrpasse i, if equalled, iu tho history of the hu man race, against the most powerful and mo t ! persevering nation which tho world (onld boast, until their banners were crowned with,victory and their country freed fiotn the grasp of the oppressor.

Roue. IF May, MayorG. A. SKU tHlfet lilt i l.ut. A diplomatic circular, dated Washington. August 12. ISO'S, and addressed by Secretary W. M. Seward tu the Vallkee ministers abroad, lms just been published by the Northern journ als. It is a lengthy review' of the military events in this country, taking them from the point where he left off in his circular of -April 14th, ISG2. The defeat of Fope in Virginia, ti;e invasion of Maryland by Lee, McClellan's victories af South Mount-ill and Antic-tain, the advance of Bragg in’o Kentucky, the move; nyents of Van Dorn and Price, Rosencrans victory at Stone river, the per-severing and fin ally successful efforts of Grant at Vicksburg, the repulse of onr troops at Helena, the seige an l capture of Port Hudson, the retreat of Lee after-the battles at Gettysburg, the success of Banks iu Lotibuna, tlie maintenance of the blockade on the coastal he situation in North Carolina, the withdrawal of Bragg from Slft-I liyvilie and Tnllahoma to Chat tunooga, the r ids I of St-on email and Grierson, the capture of John I Morgan’s forces,• &c , are rehearsed and of course everything potrayed in tlie liveliest col ors, indicating the ultimate success of the Un ion arms and a speedy restoration of peace.— He acknowledges tile review of the campaign shows llmt they have made no progress in the East —that, our arms have been more (ban a match for them, lie attributes their want of success to the forces being about equally match ed, and the necessity ot protecting the capital in all contingencies, lb- seems to altaili a gieat deal of importance to the Yankee sue eesatfs in the West, and says over fifty thousand square miles have been .reclaimed from tlie pos session of the Confederates. He goes on to say lor the benefit of the for eign people : On rule ring to the annexed map it will be seen that since the breaking out of the insurec tion, the government lmS extended its former sway over and through a region of t \o hun dred thousand square miles, an an a us large as Austria or France; or the Peninsula of Spain and Portugal. The insurgents hist, iu the various field and seige operations of the month of du ly, which I have described, ollc-third of their whole forces. He alludes to our consript bill and gives us seventy to ninety-tbe tlions nil additional troops by it. but says we are already confront ed at all points with superior numbers, and that u draft for three hundred thousand more is iu progress in tin- North to fill up the wasted ranks'and replace those whose term is out. Notwithstanding the leading papers Contain accounts of the drugging to camp iu chains of drafted men, Seward has Hie presumption to say that the people submit to the measure with ybeeriulness. He goes on and says : Our loan is purchased at par by our o vn citi zens, at the average rate of $1,200,1100 daily, daily. Gold sells in our market at 12d to 12$, while in the insurrectionary region ■ ft- corn mands 1,200 per rent, premium. Every insur gent port is either beseiged or blockaded, of occupied by the national Ibices. .Tho field of the piojected Confederacy is drilled by the Mississippi. All the fortifications on its banks are in our hands, and its flood is patrol, j d by the national fleet No hope is expressed of a resumption of trade oil this stream, and the fact that lie aniumiKes the liver is patrolled, shows pretty conclusively that but little is expected'in the way of com merce. He next touches on the negi o and re marks : Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware, Maryland all slave States - support the Federal Govern ment. Missouri lias alrea ly, in Convention, ordained the gradual abolition of slavery, to take etlect at the expiration ol seven years.— Four-fifths of Tennessee, two-thirds of Air giuia, the coasts and sounds of North Carol inn, half of Mississippi, and half ol Louisiana, with till their large cities, part of Alabama, nod the whole Beaconst of Georgia and South Carolina, and no - inconsiderable part of the coast of Florida, are held by the Tuiled States. The insurgents, with the slaves whom they yet hold in defiance of the President's Proclamation, are now crowded into the centre and southern imrtions of Virginia, Noitfi CaroMna, Houlh Carolina, Georg a ami Alabama..while the pio net slave bolding insurgents beyond the Alis iissippi are cut off from the main force, (hi the other band, although it is le.-s thumdx mouths since the laws o. customs of the baited Stales would allow a man of African descent to bear arms in defense of his country, there are now in the field 224)00 regularly enlisted, ar wed ami equipped soldiers of that class, while fifty regiments, of 2,000 each, are in pm cess of organization, and 02.000 pe. sons of Hie -aine class are employed as teamsters; laborers and camp followers. The statements presented In this circular of the shrewd Seward are to be used in convinc ing the statesmen of Great Britain and France, who have accorded the character ot a belliger ent to us and declared from-the beginning Hie Union could not be maintained; that if they will withdraw their support from us, there will *OOll Is! commercial prosperity and a restora tion of peace in America. Fortunately, these statesmen have ocular demon (ration to Lin contrary. Seward has a world wide reputation for, modestly speaking, departing from the line prescribed by truth, undtiie people of England and France will attach but little impoitance to anything coming from that source. Indeed, the intelligence of the success of Bragg will stamp ‘■false'’ on the operose and highly colored doc ument sent abroad to correct the European ‘prejudice which constit lies the basis of all that is designedly or ondesignedly injurious” to the Yankees “in the policy of foreign na tions.’ —J/is‘.x is? i.ppluu.

Fading away in a light so sweet, Where the silver stars and the sunbeams nmar Paving a path-tor her silent feet, w* Over the silent way. Over the bosom tenderly The pearl-white hands are pressed ! The lashes lie qp her cheeks so thin- Where the .soften blush of tie; rose hath been Shutting the blue of her eyes \vfth ! n- Tlie pure lids closed in rest. Over the sweet brow lovingly Twiiu-th her sunny hair! She was so fragile that love sent down From his heavenly gems that sott blight cltown To shade h«-f brow with its waves ao.brown, Light as the dimpling air. Gone tp her sleep with the tender smile, t roze on lier tender lips ! By the ire well kiss nf her dewy breath, Cold in the clasp of her Angel death, Like the last foil- bud of a fading wreath. Whose blown the white frost nips. 'Robin—hushed in your downy bed * Over the swinging bough— Do you miss her voile from your glad tfaef. When the dew in the heart of the rte-o- is set, Tilfits velvet lips with the essence wet, In orient crimson glow ? Rosebud under your shady leaf, liid from flip sunuy dav— Do you nijss her glance of'tlie aye so bright, AVlvosq blue was heaven in your timid sight T It is beaming now in a world ol"light, Over the starry way. Hearts where, the darling’s head liutlr lain. Held by love's shining ray— . Do you know that the touch of her gentle hand Doth brighten the harp iu the unknown land ; Oh ! she waits for us with the angel baud, Over the starry way. LIFE’S BETTER MOMENTS I.ifb bas its moments Os beauty and bloom ; But they hang-like sweet rosea On the edge of thdtonih. Blessings they bring us, As lovely as brief; .They meet us when happy," And leave us in grief. Hues of tlie morning. • Tinging the sky. Come on the sunbeams. And off with them fly. Shailows of evening Hang soft.on the shore, Darkness enwraps them, We see them no more. So life's better moments In brilliance appear, Dawning on beauty, Our journey to cheer, ' Round us they linger. Like shadows of even, AYould that we, like them Might melt into Heaven. A Gai.i.ant Naval Exi-i.oit. —’ f fie Chailesloa Courier gives an account of at allant naval ex ploit which was performed in (fie harbor of that’city on Monday night, {subjoined are the particulars of the affair : The torpedo steamer Dav id. w'th a crew of four volimleers consisting us Lieut. AVm. T. Grassell, J. 11. Tombs, ' jhiof Engineer, and .fames Sulivan, Fireman x,f the gunboat Clrieo ra. with .1. W. Cannon, Assistant Pilot, of the guub.iat Palmetto Ht» to. l, ft Sontb Atlantic wharf between six an i seven o'clock on Mon day evening, for the piuposj- of running out to tin- Iren ides, exi *l<xiing a torpedo under that vessel near ami. /strips, aval if possible blow her up. The weather bob dark and hazy favored Ihe enterprise. T 1 *, boat with its gallant little crew, proceeded \iotvn tho harbor, stilting along the shoals, on the inside channel until nearly abreast of tlreu formidable antagonist, the New Ironsides. They reruMited iu liris position for a shrirt time circling iwoliiul on the large shoal near the anchorage ot Ulm object of their visit. Lieut. Grastsell, wish a double barreledgiui, 9 it jn front of Pilot Caairioa, who had charge of the helm. The boat was now put bow on, ruid aimed di rectly l'or ihe Ironsides. As the little steamer darted forward the lookout on flio Ironsides hailed them, ‘‘Take care there, y’o»i will run in to 11s. M'hat steamer is that 'T' Lieut. Gnsi ell replied by discharging one barrel at the Yankee sentinel, and tendering the gun to Pilot Cannon, fold him there was auutfher Yan kee, pointing to one with his body In If over the bulwarks, and asked Oanhou 10 lake care ol him with the other barrel. Thu next moment they had struck (the lion side.-y, and exploded the torpedo alaout Alteon feet from Ihc keel, on the starboard, side. An immense volume of water was flnx-xvi np.vov- Pring our Ijltle boat, going thiougla the smoke stack ; entered the furnace, and completely extinguished the lire. In addition to the engine, xc"ndi»ving it un liuuuigablebt that lime, .volley after volley of inuskett v from the crew of the Ironsides 'mid from the ltiuuches began to pour upon them.— Lieutenant Grassell gave the erder to btuck, but it was foundimpossihle. Tu. this condition, with, no shelter and no hope if escape, tbay thought it best to surrender and hailed.the et«e my to that offeert. The Yankees* however, paid’ no attention to ihe call but barbarously contin ued the lire. 14 was then proposed to put qji their life piesorvers, jutO]i overboard and eu : -dcavQr toswiiai to the shore. All but Pilot Cannon conoMited. The latter being unable U> swim, said hit would slay and lake ids chances in the boat. Lieut. Grussell, Engineer 'Toombs mill Sulivan. the fireman, left the boat, the two first having on life preservers, und the latter Mipportiiie/him elf on oucof t lie hatches thrown to him by the Pilot. Engineer Tooanbs becom ing enih.massed with his clothing irt the water got back to the boat and was assisted in by Ohii .lloll. * * The boat was then rapidly drifted from the Ironsides. He now fortunately tounsl a match, and lighting a torch crept back to Ihe engine, discovert*! and removed the cause of its not working, and soon got it in order. They then commenced to run the gauntlet of t lie Monitors and launches. The latter seemed i aspired with a seeming dread of something supernatural, and opened a path right and left for the Itittle steam er. The Ironsides fired two eleven inch shot at tlie |iarty as they' sped away, but' fired com pletely over them. The crews of tlin Monitors which tlie steamer was obliged to jpaas on her return, were also out and commenced a heavy lire of musketry upon lrer as she was passing. Tlie launches made way evidently from a whole some regard for her explosive character. En gineer Toombs and Cannon reached their wharf in too ci y about midniglrt, fatigued, and prft- I si-ntiug a wornont appearance, hut rejoicing ut. I their fortunate and narrow escape. J lie David bears Dm honorable marks of thir teen bullet holes. With regJid to the damags of the Ironsides nothing positive is kz.iown. At the moment of striking there was gveat consternation on board. 11 was reported that the 1 few in were ( hftid at vvoik at t!*e pumps, all day Tuesday.— Small boats were* seen eu at in tially passing be tween the Ironsichss and t ’de .Monitors. At night fall. however, she reniaifu-d. at her old anchor age. Such is the narrative eff this brilliant affair, which, bad it been an: entire success, would have rid us •*£ the most formidable foe engaged in tbisjsiege. Some few have styled it a rash und*-rtaking, hut it n< ada j*«tsuch an example to lead t • still greater deeds iu ihe present con dition ot om good old city, and the country a* lane.
