The Daily Evenial Mireor. PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON BY J. AY. BURKE & CO. VOL. I. From the New York Citizen. STONEWALL JACKSOIT. He 8 eeps nil quiet and cold Beneath the soil that gave him birth ; Then break his halite-brand in twain, And lay it with him in the earth I No more t midnight shall he urge His toilsome march among the pines; Nor hear upon the .morning air The war shout of his charging lines. Cold is the eye whose meteor-gleam Flashed hope on all within its light; And still the voire that, trumpet toned, Rang through the serried ranks of fight. No more for him shall cannons park, Or tents gleam while upon the plain; And where his camp-fires blazed of yore Brown reapers laugh amid the grain ! No more above the narrow bed Shall sound the tread of marching feet, Tne rifle volley, and the clash Os sabres, when the foemeu meet. -And. though the winds of autumn rave, And winter snows fall thick and deep Above his breast—they cannot move The quiet of his dreamless sleep. We may not'raise a marble shaft Above ths heart that now is dust; But Nature, like a mother fond, Will ne’er forget her sacred trust. Young April, o'er his lowly mound, Shall shake the violets from her hair; And glorious June, with fervid kiss, Shall hid the roses blossom there. And round about, the droning b' e. With drowsy hum, shall come and go; While west winds, all the livelong day, Shall murmur dirges soft aiid low. The warrior’s stormy fate Is o’er, The mab iglil i loom hath passed away; And, like a glory from the East, Breaks the first fight of Freedom’s day ! And w littt-winged Peace, o’er nil the land, Broods like it dove upon her nest; While iron war, with slaughter gorged, At length hath laid'him down to rest. And where we won our onward way With lire and steed—through yonder wood, The black bird w histles, and the quail Gives answer to her timid brood Yet oft in dreams his fierce brigades Shall see the form they followed far, Still leading ill the furthest van-*- A landmark in the clouds of war! And oft when white haired grandsires tell Os bloody struggles past and gone, The children at their knee w-il'l hear How Jackson led his columns on! Fetroleum—What It Is. retroleuru litis, within tm incredibly short space of time, made fortunes for many, while it has bankrupted as many mote. The name it self-is fiam the Latin petra, a rock, and oleum , oil, being in fact “ rock oil,” deriving its name from being found in the rocks, or oozing from them. In its natural state its composition is indefinite, consisting of various oily hydro carbons, holding in solution paraffine and solid bitumen, or asphaltum. In some scientific works, the fluid petroleum is described under the name of “naptha oil,” whilst that having a large proportion of asphalfum is known as “bitumen.” The latter is comparatively of little value, but the fluid petroleum, since the discovery of its manifold and important uses, has risen to be one of the most prominent staples. TheTighler oil cleansed and purified, has come into almost universal request as an illuminator, surpassing all others, except gas, in brilliancy, and also possessing the merit of cheapness. The secret of produc ng gis itself, equal in illuminating power to the best coal gas, produced with much greater ease and at less expense, has been discovered and pul into practice; whilst, to show the capabilities of petroleum as an illuminator, tlie solid res dium of the refining process is made into paraffine candles. .Asa lubricator for wheels m and ma chinery the heavier qualities of petroleum have came into general use. Paint oils and varnish are made front it, and the benzine is. us and as a substitute for turpentine. I’eirolized soap is a favorite toilet article. The most beautiful and durable colors and shades now in wear are ob tained from the waste petroleum alter refining. It has been used with success as a substitute for fish oil in tanning. For generations it has proved a- valuable .medicine, applied both ex ternally nnd internally. In fact there seems to be no limit to its usefulness, for new applica tions of it are frequently discovered. Havana Segvrs.— Messrs.
