Wrapped lu Ihe silviico of Ihe brooding ni-lil, -The uiortul, on lii pillow calmly sleeping, Sees uol tlio bund of ungcls.luil in light, Around his couch their tireless viyil kin ping. Perchance bit thought flies wildly high mid fur, 1 A thounmd shadowy forms his sensu deceiving, I'.ul in the woof of ull his fancy liter A golden Ihreud that angel baud arc weaving. Perchance the sluniberer feels intrusive care Deep iu his heart Mine longing tvUli is waking ; Perchance his soul is drooping iu despair, . J lis o'ertaaked heart brneath its burden breaking. Dut there the angels shed tho light of love, The dark cloud now no more is mantled o'er him; He sees the ladder reached him from ubove, Aud sees the angels who to heaven restore him.

Washington Lnst Vote. Kvery incident iu tho litu of Washington is full of interest. That plain, heroic mag nitude of mind which distinguished him ubovc all other men, was evident in nil his actions. Patriotism, chastened by sound judgment and careful thought, prompted all Jus public acts, and mnuo them examples tor the study and guidance of mankind. It has been said that no one cud have the shortest interview with a truly great man, without being made seiisiblo of his superiority. Of too many who have some way earned the tillu of great, this is by no means true. Its applicability to tho character of Washing ton, is verified in tho following interesting circumstance, related by a correspondent of the Charleston Courier : "I was present," says this correspondent, "when Gen. Washington gave his last vote. It was in the spring of 179!), iu tho town of Alexandria, lie died the 14th of Decem ber following. Tho court-house of Fair fax county was then over the market house, nuil immediately fronting Gadsby's Tavern. The entranco into it was by a slight flight of crazy steps on tho outside. Tho election wai progressing sovernl thousands of per sons in the court house yard and immediate neighboring streets ; and I wa standing on Gadsby's steps when tho Father of his Country drove up, and immediately np proached thecoma bowse steps ; and when within a yard or twn of them, I saw eight or ten good-looking men, from different direc tions, cortainlv without the least coiicert, spring simultaneously, nnd place themselves in nositio'ns to UL'liold and support the steps should they fall in the General's ascent of them. I was immediately at his back, and in that position entered the court-house with liim followed in his wake through a dense crowd to the polls heard him vote re turned with him to the outward crowd heard him cheered by more than two thous and persons as ho entered his carriage and saw his departure. "There wero five or six candidates on the .bench, sitting; and as the General up- iproached them, they rose in a body and bowed smilingly ; aud the salutation having .been returned very gracefully, the General ' immediately cast his eyes towards tho reg istry' of the polls, when Col. Ieneale (I think it was) said : 'Well, General, how do you vote !' Tho General looked at the can didates, and said: 'Gentlemen, I vote for measures, not fur men ;' and, turning to tho recording table, audibly pronounced his v0te saw it entered made a graceful bow, iund retired." rtl" The tronh'e taken by Ihe EoglUh in the -present war with Kussta are very iewoui wrj make the mo.1 of them.

IMiMcf, whoso character suffered imicli after thu repute ff thu IStli of Juno, was redlining confidence, anil from tho strength of the French works now close advanced to wards thu Malakoll", there is a probability of its early capture. A despatch from Gen. Simpson is pub lished, giving an account of tho embarka tion of tl.o body of Lord Raglan, for Eng land. Pelisier placed a garland of immor. tclki on tho coffin, and tho French troops funned an uveiiuo of men six miles long, from the camp to the sen. A Russian sortio took place against tho French rifle pils in front of the Malakoll on the night of the Mth July, which was ro pulsed lifter an obstinate combat. Tho following nro the latest despatches. Under date of July 10, It P. M., Gen. IVdis sier telegraphs: "The enemy, who had for some days en deavored in vain to stop our left approaches in front of tho Malakoll' Tower, attempted last night to drive us back, but they wero repulsed by the first division ol tlio seconu corps. Ti rce times the Russians threw themselves upon our trenches with their usual shouting, but after each attempt they were compelled to retreat by the steady fire and calm attitude of our soldiers, leaving behind tin in many of their slain." July 17, Gen. 'Simpson telegraphs: "Nothing of impoi lance has occurred. Tho army is in good heahii." July 18, he lehgraphs: "A sortie made on the left attaclj was repulsed with ouly three casualties on tho liritish side." The Paris Patrie, of July 19, says: "Ac cording to the news received this morning, the Russians attempted another sortio last night about 10 o'clock, against tho batteries of Careening Day, and were vigorously re pulsed. Letters say that Uie Russian ships begin to suffer from the French mortar bat tery on tho side of Quarantine Bay, and deserters say that tho rations of the ship ping aro reduced oiio-half." Tho French have cleared Kamiesch of all suspicious persons, nnd havo established a municipality. The iJiiiiali Uenoral liyro nns uau a leg amputated. Gen. Sir John Campbell died within Sebastopol, and under a Hag of truco his sword was returned. Private letters from St. Petersburg, dated tho 7th July, mention that Prince Gortscha koff has written to his government to say that up to the 30th "f June he hud received thu greater part of his reinforcements, nnd that he expected the rest in the first days of July, lie is said to express the utmost con fidence in the success of his efforts to de fend Sebastopol. Tlie rniy tn the Vict. ' The K.irliniiin and Turkish forces have again withdrawn from the valley of baidar (o Bulid 'I tvti. This may indicate either an other mo liiication in the plan of campaign, or that field operations against the Russians have been abandoned. The report is confirmed that the Rus sians have received reinforcements. Gort schakoff has written to St. Petersburg ae knowlcdfjug thrii nivul. The Ulach Sea. Another sea expedition is tilting out, but the destination is unknown, ll is supposed, to ha either ncraiust Odessa, or to relieve tho Turks hard pressed in Anatolia, and perhaps it may be for operations on the Danube. Four thousand Turks are in the Dobrtitcha, where reinforcements of trench and English are expected. AsU. Reliable accounts to June 23, stato that the Russian army, under Gen. Muravieff, had invested Kars, whilo a small corj tTarmec had advanced upon Kutai, and was pressing the Turkish garrison of Batoum. The Russians number 30,000, and the Turks 15,000, under Vased' Pasha aud Gen. Wil liams. The Russians aro bringing siege guns from Gumri, and the situation of the Turks is critical, unless they render lvars a second Silistria. Tho Russians hold the roads to Erzeroum. The Principalities. The Austrian troops in the Principalities are btinir proportionably reduced, and the men conveyed homo to Ilungary, soma to lenna. The CaUlc Nino British ships were recounoilenng approaches to Abo. The Russian official journal of Ilelsinj fors, complains that on July 3, six English t hoats came into the small harbor of Kauma, uisinci oi Am, uimer me wim. jhci'iai v, a flag of truce, and plundered the shipping, until fired on by a detachment of Chas- sctirs.

Tho London Morning Chronicle publish rs thu text of an Austrinn circular, dated Juno 28, to the Germanic Diet. Tlio docu ment speaks strongly for pence, nnd also nv that Austria will coutinuo to hold the 1 Principalities till pence be restored. A uslria further Ms the Germanic Confederation to maintain its present attitude. A telegraph ic dispatch says tho Diet has replied that present circumslances do not call for fresh measures, and the Diet does not contom plato extending its obligations or engage ments. It is stated iu Vienna, that a better un derstanding now exists between the Aus trian and Prussian Cabinets, and that their action in tho Federal Diet will be indenti cal. There is also a rumor scarcely credit able however that tho Allies propose that thu Crimen be given to Turkey, the Princi palities to Austria, nnd Lombardy to Sar dinia.

Tho foreign legion now musters 2500 nun 1000 Swiss and KiOJ Germans. Tho Turkish Loan Bill passed the Com mons by a vote of 133 to 132. Tho Herald claims the small majority of three a virtual defeat of the Govprnineut. Tho Times remarking upon tho sntne, savs: ''We can scarcely believe that with in so short a time the alliance with France, the prospects of tho war, and the very exist ence of Turkey should havo been saved from the most serious risk by the narrow minority of 135 to 132." Mr. Rotbnck's motion for a vote of con. sure on tho Government, after being deba ted at great length, was thrown out in the llouso of Commons by a majority of 107. Tho Palmcrston Ministry has thus a new lease of life. In tho House of Commons on the night of the 18th of July, Lord John Russell an nounced tlio fact of his own resignation, which her Majesty had been graciously pleased to accept. Ho assigned tho necessi ty of his resignation to a wrong impression, both in Parliament and ampflg the public, and declared himself quite contented with his present position. Sir Charles Napier refused to receive tlio Grand Cross of tho Order of tho Bath, and wants, first, to havo justice rendered him nrrainst Sir James Graham. The Admiral is right, and his refusal will not injure his cause in the public estimation. The feats of the Baltic fleet this year are, by Hip by, worse than they wero last year. Bomar sund was, at least, something but fisher boats, peasant huts, and telegraph station, on some deserted Finnish shore, are really no object for the wrath displayed by such a terrible lleet. threat Britain loohs very ni tle indeed to bo boosting'of such conquests.

Count Buol has confined himself to acknowledging the receipt of this commu nication, but ho nevertheless expressed a fear that under such circumstances it was not possible to hope for a speedy ro-estab-lishment of peace.'1 t According to the report of a deserter Admiral Nacliimoff was killed on tho 0th July, in the Central Bastion. The construc tion of tho batte: ies of Careening Bay was being carried on wnh great energy. Most of the small German Stales are pre paring to disarm. Uapt.

Russian Account or the nevulse of the 18lk of June. The following is from tho InvaliJe Rust: Prince Gorlschakofl"s diary from Juno 4 to the 17th (10th 20lh)coutains addition al details of the brilliant manner in which the assault on Sebastopol was repulsed, and respecting the ulterior works of the be siegers, aud the measures takon by us to oppose them. . Owing to l lie great numoer oi troops . . . i e . thrown forward bv tho enemy, tho impetu osity of the attack, nnd the obstinacy of the struggle, tho battle of tho 0th (18th) of June may be. bv the crarnson of Sebastopol regarded as ono of tho 'most heroic acts oi our military annals. ' At daybreak, under cover of a crushing catinonado, the otiemy attempted the assault in the firm hopo, it appears, that the cannonade oi ino proceed ing evening had mado a breach in our works and rendered them accessible. Their dense line embrnced an extent of four vcrsts, nnd behind other columns advanced, supported bv strons reserves. It was in this order that the assailants threw themselves upon the fortifications, and commenced a most sanguinary struggle. The coolness ana the military talents oi Lieut. Gen. Chrouleff, the firmness of his immediate aides, Rear Admiral Patifilofl, and Major General l'rince Oourousoff, as well as the gallantry of all who took part in tho affair, from the general Jo the private, rendered fruitless the obstinato efforts of the enemy. The bravo troops of Sebastopol had succeeded, in tho night between the 8th and 6th, (17th and 18th,) of Juno in repairing all tho damage done, under a very heavy fire, and during the assault, having defeated the desperate attack of assaults, they pursued some detachments into tneir very trenches. The Allies are consequently compelled to continue a regular siege ; hut it will doubt less cost them still much tima and new ana enormous sacrifices. The obstinaev and duration of the assault, during which the enemies' masses had to advance under a muraerous nro oi grape, cannot fuil to have ciused great havoc in their ranks. If we are to credit deserters, the French have 10,000 men put hort de combat in killed and wounded. Among the killed they mention Generals Mayran, Brunet and Voran. According to their re ports the English lost 3,500 men, among whom Ucncrals uampis li ano iom ume died of their wounds, and a great number of officers of all grades. Moreover, among tho 000 prisoners we have taken, of whom 300 aro wounded, there were one superior and eleven non commissioned French officers, aud one En plish officer of suptrior rank. On our side, among the officers named in the report of the 7th (19th) of June, we have to regret the de ath of the brave Captain Ostrovsky, commaiider of the fifth company of the Sevak infantry regiment, who, at the Lead of bis eomf any, charged HI US' Ull'llOV 'Vive Hollar Year. aro. aa. the enemy who hud elilcrid thu Gervais lluileiy, and the following o Ulcer have been wounded, iz : Capt. Kisliusky, of the navy, Aide-Camp of the Emperor; Major ltoiid- onovskv, of the Miuou regiment; Liuiit Col. NitikiiiH, of the Ocean Chussuur ; uud Lieut. Col. Prilicu I'agrulioii, ol tlio X clcsls regiment. Since their repulse, thu .Allies have con tinued their siege works as follows : From thu 7lh to the 16 li(llKh to 27lh)ofJune, they have lengthened iho iipprouche agaiust the Cemetery, liastiou 1'ite, and tho Schau Redoubt j' they hiive joined bv u treiiih ihe Selinghilisk and Volhynia Re doubts ; they have pushed forward an up inoach stinting from thu Kaintschalktt Lun ette, and havo constructed a battery to the li ft of Iho Suliiighili'k Kedoulii, on tlio in cline toward the buy J but all theso works nro so impeded by the well directed firo of our artillery, that an nttempt mad ) by thu enemy to open a tr. uch ou ihu 10th (2-d) of June against the l'cressyp, was complete ly stopped bv one of our nearest butteries, uud tlio attempt has not since been renewed. Iho enemy is mining agiiuisi nustiou No. 4 ; wu use smoke bulls against them with fillet. Sinco tho 7th (10th) of June, tho tire of the besiegers had been gradually diminish ing, and so liavo our losses. Km tlie Tin (ltflli)of June, wo counted U2 killed nnd 202 wounded. Since then, up tothellth (23), there were ouly 7 meu killed and 27 wounded. Aiiioiil' the hitler we havo un happily to regret Major Todleben, who re ceived a bullet through tho calf of his leg on tho 8rh (20th), which, however, docs not prevent him from directing tho works of defense as usual. During this period, Wo havo been chiefly occupied in clearing out our ditches and in creasing the height of aud strengthening our defences. Despite tho great heat which has quite hardened the ground during tho last month, mid uliii'h renders work verv difficult, thanks to the uuexampled zeal of the garrison of Sebastopol, we nave suceeeneu in repairing all our works, and preparing new means to defend t hem stoutly. vnoM TUB CHinUA.

Much has been done to cloanse the lown, but tho accumulations of last winter cannot he swept away. Tho graveyards of men and the mounds of earth burely covering dead animals still visible to tho eye meet you ut every step. In the bay itself tho sen breeze daily (frives every particle of rubbish or filth thrown overboard up on tho bench close to tho entrance of tho town ; there il must remain unless gathered and buried fond for millions of green-bottled Hies. When ihe Sanitary Commission lust am ved they suggested that tho filth and rub bish of ship should bo gathored twice a day, and then tukeii out to sen and thrown overboard', but this was found at times quite impossible, sineo the strong winds prevented even large vessels lioin entering inu narrow imtiaiioa to tho harbor. That the neigh borhood of Balaklava is tho most unheal thy of all the spots iu our position is known from the number of deaths there, exclusic of the General Hospital, being more than the w ho Iu encampment besides. I lie u dine of summer, tlio natives tell lis, is the must unhealthy of all seasons, tlio priiiel Hid cases of cholera have been found among two classes of men one among the young recruits just joined and in no way inured to thecliniato the second among those who, hnviiur nut naturo at defiance during winter and the spring by hard drinking, have fallen victims to a disease of their own creating. The first division has marched to the front, and sinco that timo (now over a week) have not had above three or four cases. We are now beginning to feel the effects of the want of water, but not as yet to any tiling like an alarming extent j but should tho present dry weather continuo I don't know how matters will stand. The occupa tion of tho heights along the Black River has relieved tho pressure on the springs on tho bights. Hnsslan Chivalry.
