Let us look wltli special Interest into the draw lou-room of yon beautifully adorned lady. She is gay nnd glorious to the physical eye, but why is her pillow wet with the tears of bitterness ? Has she not wealth 1 Does she not move in high " circles," and is she not the happy " ob served of all observers 1" Let us look backward 'through the dark halls of her past. She was born with beauty, in a lowly cot by the sea. Her mother's form lay white and cold. Her clay garment was rent. Onward through the dark portal, from earth's mournful prison, her radiant spirit was lifted to the Summer Land. A father's hand fed and clothed the bereft babe. From the fierceness of sea storms the fisherman shielded his daughter. Years were gathered into I the youn" girl s soul. Her falher was swallowed by the engulfing wave. There was darkness in the daughter's bosom. Sho wept long. Anon she was the bride f her father's chosen. They were earnest, truthful, kind, happy. In the calm depth of their loving eyes were mirrored the beautiful and the pure. Five years more wrought great changes. The beautiful bride had become the mother of two lovely children. They were happy, light footed, sparkling. In the midst of gladness the pall of death tell upon the home. J. he husband and the father died. An awful gloom spread through the habitation. The mother and widow would not be comforted. She was most beautiful still, and had her little ones, but oh ! how desolate and broken-hearted ! With the husban's death died the flowers ot plenty. Poverty walked in at the unbolted door. He clanked his iron chams be fore the little ones. The sound thereof fell like the rain of fire upon the reeling senses of the broken hearted. The next two years brought billows of sorrow. With her little ones the beautiful and loving lady arrived at at a room she had rented in the lower part of this city. The spirit and power ot labor were upon her. She sought to work tor the wealthy. With her needle she labored all the hours of every day. For months she shielded herself and the little daughters from the encroah ments ol want. Still onward rolled the myste rious tide of her destiny. Weariness and illness visited her. Injustice had paid her for her labor. She bad over worked for under pay, and she wept in her sorrow all the day long. She lived in a city of strangers. Alone in I he world, she wept the tears of desolation. Want and despair came to dwell with her. The succeeding few weeks changed tho career of that lonely lady. A being crossed her path disguised in the livery of pure friendship. Amidst the rush of the busy world a man sought the humble apartment. He presented linen to be wrought into garments. In seeming sympathy he paid a high price in advance of labor. The sick lady was inspirited. She toiled on to com. plete the work. It was soon done. More was kindly furnished, for which still more money wa advanced. Her health again broke. Labor was not possible, yet lived she and the innocent ones on the stanger's treasure Her gratitude was boundless. Love was kindled on the altar of respect. ' A lew days more. The stranger called with a carriage. He explains how bis sisters, who lire up town in affijence, have consented to re ceive a visit. The sick lady was attracted to accompany the stranger. The little daughters were not forsaken. The four went with gladness to the new place of plenty. She lifted up her heart in gladness to the Heavenly Father. In the seclusion ol her newfound home she received 'i . f .i.....i a ...... l,nJil. ! to her beautiful cheeks, and she besought; her friend to restore her to the lonely room and to labor. But a cannon shot went through her heart when her request was denied. ' These gay ladies are not my sisters," said the stranger. They are the creatures of pleasure," he contin ued. " You are lost in the world's opinion." He added :" The eyes of the multitude will be upon you should you venture from this dwelling. Yield, therefore, and live henceforth in ease and luxury." In shame and in anguish she wept, sending forth a wailing cry which alarmed the innocent children. They were then taken from her. Tho door of her room was locked, and she was left to herself in that dungeon of infamy. She accepted her fate. Her beauty und her powerful impulsiveness, urged on by tho energy of a concealed despair, placed her very soon in the front rank ot the degraded profession. Oh, that she had only been rewarded by Justice for her lalor in the apartment of poverty and virtue ! Or, if .here had only been some " Home for women who do not want to become outcasts !" For her there was no such harbor of safety. In high born pride, in the angry tide of desecrated love, the took the scepter und wielded it. The stranger consigned the mansion of infamy to her. Sho ruled like an abandoned queen. All obeyed her. Her refinement was inverted. She be camecoarse, profane, vulgar. Poor fallen niijjel ! Her place ot pleasure became the " talk ot town. It became the magnet of the rich profligate and libertine. It was filled with beautiful lost ones from all stations of society. Poor, fallen angel ! A malefactor's knell is music compared with the throbbings of her heart. The frowning gallows is a thing ot beauty " compared with tho image of sorrow which wept iti her bosom. The follou's horrid doom is joy compared with the lito of that beuuaful lady. Poor fallen angel ! iiut who is that beautiful woman we just saw iti the diawing-room ( duo is gay, but why is her tillow wet with tears I There comes a voice like the rushing wind. It whispers : "She is the only living daughter of that poor, fallen angel ! I lie waves of the oceon sweep over her grave Memories of past distress live in the daughter's soul. Dreary hours, full ot wintry blasts, clus term her memory, .falsehood and vico no louder bear sway in her spirit. She is redeemed ! Past injuries leave but few lines on the young soul, because her lite is now devoted to labor for others. The mother is in the Summer Land, with the campanion of her bridal years. The youngest daughter, too, is there with those best beloved. Anon, in tho stillness of the evening hour, a whisper comes from the rich, arisen angel. But her labor is on'y just begun. And her re ward is meted out by the hand of eternal Justice. Listen, and you will hear her repeat : I thank thee. Father, that I lire, Though waitings till this earth of thine To labor for thy suffering ones Is joy diviue !" Herald of Progress. OitPiiEus C. Kerr, of the famous mackerel brigade, in a late letter, gets ofT tho following Sunshine has ut last resumed specie payment, my boy, and every man wno chooses can want under golden beams onco more. I lie sacred soil is drying up ns fast as an old maid after 42, and boot-Llacks begin to quote at high ligures. The General of tho Mackerel Rrigade is so bliss ful at having a polish on his boots once more, that he puts them on the mautlepiecc every time ho enters a room, and treads on all tho toes he can find in the street. The latter operation, my boy, has produced much profanity, especially among the Chaplains. Speaking of Chaplains, reminds me of a rev erend veteran who attended to the so.il of Capt. Bob Shorty yesterday, and found it in a high state of preservation. Capt. Bob Shorty over estimated his power of endurance, and under took to read Fremont's defense. W hen he got to tho twenty-first column, ho was seized with vertigo, and only recovered to find himself ta king the measure of a bedstead, with a Chaplain standing by him. "My trend, says the parson, " 1 consider it my duty to tell you that you are a very sick man, and I take this opportunity to remind you of your latter end." Capt.

"My wife, says Uupt. iSob shorty, hyster ically. " Ah ! there is a woman for you. " Is she a worthy helpmate ?" says the Chap lain. " Why," says Capt. Bob Shorty, "she's mate and Captain both in my ship. She's frugal," says Capt. Bob Shorty, " she's n finable' she's neat, and she's only got one fault in the world." "Ah!" says the Chaplain, " only one fault? Then fihe must bo an uncommon woman." " Yen," says Cv.pt. Bob Shorty, dreamily, my wife's only got ono fault in the world she likes another chap better than she does in".." At this juncture, my boy, the Chaplain was seized with a violent cough ; but as soon as he recovered be assumed a very grave air an J says he "My friend, let me beseech you to forgot for j ' . . i. .i j .i i. . r . a moment worldly things and think of something more needful A DAT or two ago, as our little Agnes was running at full speed on the side walk, she bad serious fall.

From the Sacramento Union of the 21 iust we quote the following : The dispatches from the East convey intelli gence of the highest importance. While on this distant coast, we have been quietly, though somewhat impatiently, awaitng the restoration ot telegraphic com munication, the loyal States have passed through an excitement unparalleled since the great uprising of the people at the com mencemetit of the war. The occasion of this feverish demonstration was the forced retreat of Gen. Banks' division from Front Royal, on the Manassas Gap Kail road, to the Potomac ut Williamsport, Maryland. It appears that it was known early in May that Jackson was to bo re inforccd by some of the best brigades of the rebel army. General Banks had theu a sufficient force to hold the enemy in check ; but on tho 15th, Shields' and Geary's commands were, by some body's blundering order, transferred to McDow ell's Department east of the mountains, leaving Banks with only about 4,000 men to defend our conquests in the Shenandoah Valley. On the very same day, Jackson effected a junction with the divisions of Ewell and Edward Johnson, and proposed to cut ofT tho little army commanded by Bank. Tho advance of our force was sta tioned ut Front Royal, so as to hold the terminus of the Manassas Gap Kaili-oad. It consisted of the First Maryland Regiment, Knnpp's Penn sylvania Battery and some Vermont cavalry. Banks was ut Strasburg. On rriday, 23d of May, tho advanced detachment was suddenly attacked by an overwhelming force, and after u aesperuto light, wcro cither cut up or captured The accounts say that the rebels converted their victory into a massacre, and not more than 150 men of the 900 engaged on our side escaped. As the enemy advanced Banks was compelled to retreat ; and that retreat was one of the most masterly exploits of the war. With less than 4,000 men, und a train of 500 wagons to protect mints tooit immediate command ot the rear guard, and although pursued by un enemy at least io,UUU strong and repeatedly assailed in front, flank und rear, succeeded in reaching tho Potomac, with but small loss in men and the sacrifice of only fifty out of five hundred wagons. Sigel, himself, so renowned for skillful retreats. could not have performed this difiicult movement with more celerity, order ond success. The an nouncement of theso events created intense ex citement throughout the loyal States. The militia were called out, and all available troops were set in motion towards the Potomac. This tune Maryland shared in the patriotic enthusi asm. Iho slaughter ot the 1'irst Maryland Regiment, and the repeated rebel atrocities to ward the sick and wounded, excited the Balti moreans to such a pitch that mobs immediately began to hunt down secessionists. JclT Davis' friends fared rather hard. Recruitinsr offices were opened at once. Maryland is again thor oughly loyal. Under tho influence of excitement tho lower branch of Congress passed a stringent Confiscation Bill. Tho public mind, however, soon recovered its t no. On the 27th of May Banks was at Williams port. On tho 30th ut the head of 18,000 men, chasing the rebels down tho Shenandoah, and capturing stragglers. That day our advance reached 1 ront Royal. Moanw hilo ft portion of meuoweu s corps has been detached with a view to co-operate against Jackson's arrny und at tempt the capture of that force. Thus, within a tew days, tho position ol ollairs has been entire ly reversed in our favor ; nnd the grand results of Jackson's bold movement are a vast addition to the strength of tho Union forces, the destruc tion of secession in Maryland, and tho intensifi cation of tho war spirit throughout tho North. In brief, that will prove to have been the most expensive movement the rebels could have made. Gen. McClellan has not yet taken Richmond. He seems to be maneuvering for the capture or destruction of the army of rebellion in Virginia, which is of more importance than the capture of any city. Making a bold movement to the north of Richmond, he has attacked and routed rebel force at Hanover Court House, near the Virginia Cent nl railroad, which was then cut in three places. As McDowell's forces ore advancing from P redericksburg, this movement of McClel Ian will cover their approach. The gunboat fleet is at Cify Point, nt the junction of the Appomatox with the James river, and threatuing both Petersburg and Fort Darling. Tho city of Petersburg, one of the largest and most impor tant in Virginia is at tho mercy of the fleet. It is connected by railroad with Suffolk which is in Gen. Wool's possession. Further to the west ward, in the Mountain Department, we have to chronicle a brilliant victory, gained at Lewisburg Greenbriar county, by Col. Crooks, over a su perior forco under tho rebel General Heath. The rebels were routed and lost four cannon, two hundred stand of arms, and a largo number of men who were killed wounded or taken. The suppression of the guerrillas proceed with great vigor in that department. Prom Ilulleck's department we have intelligence the rebel army evacuated Corinth on the 29th, and our forces occupied the place on the 31st. Gen. Halleck I had already attacked them on the 23th and was Preparing for a grand assault when the army fled with precipitation down the ..Mobile and Ohio with precipitation down the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, leaving the road strewed with arms, knapsack, etc Some 2,000 deserters came within the Union lines. But whither can they go I Gen. Curtis has his division on the Ar kanses, blocking the line of retreat even if our gunbout fleets on the Mississippi were not in the W!V' Orenada, a railroad junction in Talabutha county, Mississippi, is said to have been forti fied by Lovell, as a rallying point. But that position is more easily flanked than Corinth. Whether Halleck will ci ntinue hit march south ward or proceed against Memphis, we are not advised. With the capture of Memphis and Vicksburg, the Mississippi becomes all our own :.. i i l :,!.. I i.rf:..:..: ie n-uci army in lue ucjib vi Ais3iBiii pi may be left to eat the country baro and then disperse. Upon the whole, the situation indicates the destruction ot tho mam armies of the rebell ion in time to increase tho rejoicing thunder of tho 1 ourth of J uly. From tho Sacramento Union of the 3d iust.: Despatches of great interest from tho two main armies of the Uniou appear in our present issue. On Saturday, May 31st, in the midst of a terrible storm, the rebels suddenly advanced from Richmond and assailed the right wing of McClellau's army in the valley of tho Chicks hominy. Gen. Casey's division, which received tho first onset, was thrown into confusion. But the divisions of Heintzelman and Kearny were j soon brought into action, and held the enemy in check until two other divisions crossed the stream when a general advance was made, and the reb els were routed ut the point of the bayonet. Tho battle seems to have been hotly contested. Our loss is reported to be heavy, while that of the enemy is said to be enormous. Independent of tho capture ot I ork town, this is tho third victory gained by McClellun on the road to ICichmoud. With tho exception of Casey's division, which was taken by surprise like Prentiss at Shiloh, our troops are reported by their commander to have behaved splendidly and to have decided the bat tle by irresistible charges of tho bayonet. The movement of the rebels was bold and well con ceived, but like their etlbrt to check McClellan at Williamsburg and West Point, it resulted in terrible disaster to the attacking force. Further particulars of this sanguinary struggle will bo anxiously awaited. .From Gen. llallcck's De partment we have some details of the evacuation of Corinth und subsequent movements, which in dicate that the rebels have finally abandoned the idea of disputing the possession of the Mississ ippi Valley. Beauregard's army split into fragments in or der to cscapo the advancing forces of Halleck. One portion had gone to Grand Junction, Teun., probably with a view ot covering tho retreat to Grenada, in the heart of Mississippi. Another detachment had gone, towards Mobile, while a third seemed to be endeavoring to make its way eastward. Our cavalry went in pursuit, and burned bridges op the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, forty miles south of Corinth. It was supposed that a considerable portion of the enemy's force would be captured. All the tents, five thousand stand of arms, and immense stores fell into the honds of the national forces. Thero was an im pression that a portion ol the rebel army would try to reach Virginia, but Gen. Halleck doos not share that opinion. At all events, he appears to be following up In success with rapidity nnd gratifying results. We have nothing "further from tho column commanded by Gen. Banks. We trust Halleck will soon be able to spare fifty thousand men to reinforce the Union hosts in Virginia. From the Sacramento Union of tho 4th Inst News to Juno 3d. The intelligence from the seat of war is a rec ord of Union triumphs. Halleck is harvesting all the advantages of a great and decisive victory tic iiaa no sooner occupied uormtn than no dis patched a heavy forco of cavalry in pursuit of the retreating enemy, with instructions to destroy bridges, tear up the railroad track, and take other measures to cripple or demoralize the fleeing foe. This force did its work thoroughly. Reaching Booueville, on tho Mobile und Ohio Railroad, by a circuitous route, tho horsemen destroyed a de pot, a locomotive, twenty-six cars loaded with supplies of every kind, ten thousand stand of arms, nnd a great quantity of clothing, and tore up the track. Two thousand rebels were cap tured and then liberated on parole. This heavy loss of supplies, with the loss of tents and arms the rebels were compelled to abandon at Corinth, must so fur cripple the enemy as to hasten his dispersion into weak and contemptible detach ments that can offer no further serious resistance to the Union arms in the Southwest. One half of llallcck's army would suffico to trample out these embers of rebellion in Mississippi. Mo bile should have been under the guns of Porter's fleet before any portion of the retreating nrmy went in that direction, and their capture would have been assured. McClellau's victory in front of Richmond grows in importance as the details are received. Ihe struggle continued for two days Saturday and Sunday tho rebel army being commanded by JclT Davis in person, and five divisions being engaged upon our side. Owing to tho swampy and wooded condition of tho field, cavalry and artillery could rot be brought into effective action, and the contest was mainly conducted by tho infantry. The only advantage gained by tho enemy was in the sud den attack upon Casey's division, on tho right, towards New Bridge. As soon as our forces were brought into lino tho tido of battle was turned. Tho rebels, confident of their strength and fighting under tho eye of their chosen chief, appear to havo fought bravely, but they could not withstand the steady charges of the Union infantry. The fight of Saturday resulted in their repulse. On Sunday morning they were again rallied to resist the advance of (ion. Sumner, but after a hard fight, that General drove tho enemy for two and a half miles toward Richmond, (trowing tho ground with their d 'ad and wound ed. On Monday morning, the efforts of tho rcb cl leaders were unavailing ; their beaten troops could not be rallied for another conflict. Had the ground been favorable to the operations of cavalry ond horse artillery, the enemy would hate been vigorously pursued and cut to pieces. As it was they left twelve hundred dead upon the field, and all their wounded and many pris oner fell into the hands of McClellan. Our loss is reported at o:.ly two hundred killed and wounded. The victory appears to have been d cisive. Gen. Hooker on Monday advanced to within four miles of Richmond, without sncoun tering the enemy in any force. The approach to tho rebel capital is considered open to McClel lan. Stonewall Jackson has fallen into a trap in the upper part of the Shenandoah Valley. When he advanced in pursuit of Banks, Fremont and Shields, coming from the Alleghanies and the BlueRiJge, formed a junction in his rear, and as he turned to escape from the reinforced army ot Banks, ho four.d himself compelled to fight a new and formidabls enemy. There is a report that the rebel General was attacked and routed at Middletown, with the loss of ten guns. A dis patch from Woodstock says that Fromont had taken three hundred prisoners at Suasburg. These operations promise to speedily terminate the career of Stonewall Jackson in the Shenan doah Valley. Firino A Mortar. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says The firing of a mortar is tho veiy poetry of a battle. A bog of powder weighing from eighteen to twenty pounds is let into the bore of tho huge monster. The derrick drops the shell in ; the angle is calculated ; a long cord is attached to the primer ; the gunner steps out upon the platform, and tho balance of tho crew upon tho shore. The Captain gives tho word, tho gunner gives his cord a sudden jork, a crash like a thousand thunders follows, a tongue of flame leaps from tho mouth of the mortar, and a column of smoke rolls up in beautiful flee cy spirals, developing into rings of exquisite proportions. One can see the shell as it leaves the mortar, flying through the air, apparently no larger than a marble. Tho next you see of the shell, a beautiful cloud of smoko bursts into sight, caused by explosion. Imagine ten of these monsters thundering at once, the air filled with smoke clouds, the gunboats belohing out destruc tion, and completely hidden from sight in whirls of smoke, the shell screaming through the air with on unearthly sound, and the distant guns ot the enemy sending their solid shot and shell above and around us, dashing the water up in glistening columns nnd jets of spray, nnd you nave the sublime poetry ot war. A Redel Effusion. In the pocket of a rebel soldier, (tho J'ost says) was found the following attempt at poetry. It is written on a half sheet of foolscap, ond is copied literally i Sir William was king georges son to tho north tho warycrs race was run he wore A star all on his breast to show you a sign of the warycrs dress, come young ladies will you list and go. A new silk dress, you shall put on, to follow up the musio lite and, drum, the drum shall beat and the fife shall play, the drum shall beat and the fife shall play, its A merry lives we I march away, new york.s.

I'll feed you on sweet candy, whero cofl'eo groes on white oak slump, and tho rivers flow with brandy, tho little hills are lined with gold and the girls are sweet As candy. Rigid Notions of Duty. A soldier on duty nt tho pataco of tho emperor, at St. Petersburg, which was burnt a number of years ago, was stationed, and had been forgotten in one suite of apartments that Was in llamcs A Greek priest was tho last to rush through the burning rooms, ut the imminent risk of his life, to save a cruci fix in a chapel j and returning, ho Was hailed by the sentry, who must in n few minutes more have been suffocated. " What do you waut?" asked the priest : " save yourself, or you will be lost." " 1 can't leave," replied tho sentry, " because I'm unrelieved ; but 1 called to you to give me your blessing before I die." Tho priest immediately blessed him, and the soldier died at his post. i-i Secretary Seward. Secretary Seward's di plomacy has received at tho hands of the British Government one of tho highest compliments that could bo paid to a foreign official. Ilia volume of diplomatic correspondence has been reprinted verbatim, as one of tho regular " blue books," or official reports of tho ministry. This was done, it is said, at tho express wish of her Majesty, tho Queen, who, in her anxiety to maintain peace between the two nations, desired that tho proceedings of the American Govern ment should bo learned from the lips of her own rather than from the paraphrases of journals or letters. Southern Money. In Nashvillo business houses and hotels keep posted placards, inscribed " No Southern money taken here" and Confed erate notes are valued about as much as the same amount of brown paper, but the United States Treasury notes pass at par in all transactions. Whks the Union people along tho Tennessee river saw tho Union flag approaching, they sig nificantly exclaimed, " My Stars." A Younq and beautiful damsel, having two lovers, and not knowing which to prefer, settled the matter by marrying one and eloping with tho other, Women can't bear control. If the Lord had conuronded Eve to eat the apple, probably she wouldn't have touched it. Wooly. Somebody aays that though tha rebels have no particular objection to Southdown wool, they protest exceedingly against Wool down South. - Ir is estimated that the late Queen of Mad agascar, in the course of her reign caused 100 000 men to be put to death but she did what she could towards re-populating the country. I Dixit. The Second Illinois cavalry are publishing a paper at Columbus Ky. At its head it has for a Motto : "In Dixie's land we'll take nnr stand And live and thrive in Dixie." Has the " tide of events" anything to do with the " current of publio opinion" which is now flowing so rapidly I
