How far and fast tho autumn blast
Bears the dead leaves o'er the ground !
As fast and far has tho hand oi war
Strewed our country's brave around !
And Uieir nameless graves aro the ocean caTCS,
The forest and mountain glen,
Where the vulture screams as the angry
streams
Are hiding the bones of men !
And what anguished cries
From the South ariso
For the brave ones fallen in vain t
While tho victor North
Kings pecans forth,
And exults in her broad domain !
As ftr6 suppressed in Vesuvius' breast,
The latent fires of crime
In the hnmnn frame pulse on the same,
Till fanned by tho storms of time;
As the lava fold swept uncontrolled
Where Pompeii's glory shone,
80 the wakened rage of a Vandal ago
When freedom is overthrown !
And we'll look iu tears,
Through long, loug years,
For the brightness shrouded o'er,
But the goldon rays
Of her halcyon days
Shall return to tho land no more !
Then fling to the horde their base award?
Their ohief his triumphal cruwn ;
Place vile deceit in the judgment scat,
Where honor is trampled down ;
Give a paltry bribe to the hired scribo,
To the venal bard his fee ;
But him who draws in a righteous cause,
A freeman's sword wive me
Though his bonus should blench
On the sea-washed bench;
Though his grave bo the lowly mound,
His name shall chime
Through thu halls of time,
And swell through the deep profound !
Ye brave enmasse. who fall, and pass
To the leaden halls of death.
There arc palms for the few, bill, alas, for
you,
Not a leaf from the victor's wreath!
But 1 sing for one whoso glory shone,
Like a meteor, bright and grand,
Who gave his name to the trump of fame,
And his blood to a generous land !
The festive toast,
The soldier's boast,
The type of a martial ago 1
Th?-foe of wrong,
The soul of song,
And the light of a future page !
The base gTOw bold for power and gold,
The vain through fear of scorn ;
The brave wax strung in their linto of wrong;
But he was a warrior born;
From bis oagle glance and stern ''Advance!"
And his action, swift as thought.
The rank and tile from his own fair isle
Their courage electric caught.
As the whirlwind's path
Shews its fiercest wrath
Through the torest's lordliest piucs,
So the deepest wave
Of the fallen brave
Told where Cleburne crossod the linos.
On Richmond's plain his captive train
Outnumbered the host he led;
And he won his stars on the field of Mars,
Where the glorious Johnston blod !
'Twas his to cope whilo a ray of hope
IUum'd his flag, and then
'Twas his to die while that "flew high"
In the van of chivalrio men !
Nor a braver host can Erin boast, i
Nor lhau he a more gallant knight,
Since the peerless Hugh
Crossed the Avon dim.
And Bugr.nl's hosts a flight.
There were eyes afar thai watched your tar
As it rose with the "Southern Cross;"
There were hearts that bled when its course
was sped,
And Old Ireland felt your loss!
While her flowers shall blow, or her waters
flow
inrougn nnannon, Miir, anrt I-oe,
The patriot'? song ttball roll allong
Their winding wave* for thee!
And they'll tell with pndo
JIow Clohurne died
In the land of the "free and bravo,
How his sword of might
' Was a beam of light,
Though it led to an exile's grave.

Laruk seizure Ot cos fit re rate gfm>i>9 at '
New Oni.kane.?The Collector at New Orleans
has recently made an important scizuro of
goods on board the steamer Doubloon, which
arrived at that place from Shrevcport, and the
goods are now hold in the treasury warehouse
in the former city. The cargo consisted of
one hundred and fifty bales of Mexican blanketa,
gray Confederate cloth, ckuhing, and a
quantity of cotton goods, the whole worth from
eighty to one hundred thousand dollars. The
following arc the circuinstanoei attending the
capture:
About the time of the xiunrcmlor of Kirby
Smith's forces, a man named Oil van smuggled
the goods across the llio Gifcmle into Texas,
via Eagle Pass, for the use of the Confederate
Qovernmont. The property was seized by the
United States military authorities, but by some
means or other they were afterwards released
and turned over to tialvun s agent, who transported
them in wagons through several counties
in Texas, unsuccessfully offering them for sale
as he went, until ho arrived at Shrrvepori. '
At the latter place a party, whose name is not
given, obtained possession of the facts in the
case, and at once placed himself in communication
with Collector Kellogg, who placed the
matter in tho hands of Acting Surveyor Cassard,
who, after much patient watching and
waiting, got. hold of tlicin on hoard tl c steamer
above mentioned, as she was about to discharge
her cargo at New Orleans.

A Mew Island.
KBMARKAULU PMBKOMSMA.
A corrcspoudcut of the London Tiuic.-,
writing from Athens, Greece, announces
that a new Island began to rise above the
level of the sea in the Boy ot Thera (Bantorin,)
in the Grecian Archipeligo, on the
4th of February, uud in live days it attained
the height of ft.mi one hundred and
thirty to one hundred and fifty feet, with
a length of upwards of three hundred and
Kn? r?,.f ?i .. t i?i- - e ? *
uitji iwt) aiiu u ui caniii ui one nunureu
feet. It continues to increase, and consists
of a rusty black mctalic lava, very
heavy, and resembling hull'smelted scoria
which has boiled op from a furnace. It
contains many small whitish, semi transparent
particles, disseminated through the
mass-like quartz or feldspar.
The eruption began on the 31st of January.
A noise like volleys of artillery was
heard, but without any earthquake. On
the following day flumes Usccd from the
sea, in a part of the bay culled Vulkunos,
where the water is diseolorcd and impregnated
with sulphur l'roui abundant springs
at the bottom. The flames rose at inter- |
vals to the height of fifteen feet, and were
seen at times to issue from the southwestern
part ot Nea Kaimone. That island
was soon rent by a deep fissure, and the !
southern part sank considerably.
On the 4th ol February the eruptions ,
became more violent and the sea more dis j
turbed. (Jas forced itself up from the |
depths with terrific noise, resembling the
bursting of a steam boiler; flames arose at
intervals, and white smoke, rising steadily
formed an immense column, crowned with
a curled capital of dark, heavy clouds.?
The new island was visible next morning,
increasing sensibly to the eye as it rose out
.!? ?L
oi tne sea ui no great distant to thcbouih
of Kea Kaimene.
The ucw island lias been visited by l)r.
Dekiga'la, a man of science and an able
observer, who will record accurately all tho
phenomena ol the eruption nt> it proceeds. ;
The heat ol the sea rose from 02 Fahren- >
licit to 122 as near the vicin;ty of volcanic
action as it was safe to approach The
bottom ot the sen all round Kea Kaimene
appears to have risen greatly. In one
place, where the depth is marked on the
Admiralty chart one hundred fathoms, it
was loutid to be now only thirty, and at
another where it was seventeen it is now
only three fathoms. The new island, as it 1
increases, will probably torui a junction
with Nca Kaimene. It grows, as it were,
out into the sea, the mass below pushing
upward that which is already above water.
The lower part is hot, its fi-urcs, where
they are deep, bflitig 170 Fahrenheit, and
the upper part, alter four day's exposure,
was found to le s0.
At present the centre of tho volcanic
force lies evidently far below the bottom
of the sea, and only gases and Muoke work
their way through the incumbent earth to
the water, and escape in noise, flames and
smoke to the surlaee. Hut should a fissure
at the bottom of tho sea allow the water to
penetrate to the tires that throw up the
melted metal of the new island to the sur
face, an eruption may take place of a kind
similar to that which destroyed l'ouipeii,
hut far more terrible.
The eruption that formed the present
island of Nca Kaimene began in the year
1707, and the volcanic action continued,
without doing any serious injury to the
inhabitants ?.t Thera, until 1713. It is
pcsstblo the present eruption may continue
as loug, and be as mild in its operation.
Hut as lute as HibO a terrible eruption laid
waste a great part of the island, and raised
an island on it> northeastern coast, which
soon aguiu sank into the sou, leaving a
shoal.
Tho island of t >1J Kuimcno made its
lirst appearance in the year 108 before the
i * * * *
v^iirisiiiiii era. us sue was increased hy
several eruj tions mentioned in history.
The last addition it received was iu 1407.
Hie small Kaimeno, which is nearest to
Thorn, was thrown up in 1573. All the
eruptions in the bays have been attended
with similar phenomena.
J he llriti-di naval commander at Malta ,
has si nt two ships to the seuno of these
phenomena. A letter dated February 7,
containing the latest news, says :
'The same smoke ami fire in the cvo
ning as yesterday, and the hillock continues
its opt rations. The sea, too, hoils
beyond the cove, n.uro than yesterday.
The hillock, or laud, will probably by tomorrow
increase as far as the entrance to
the cove, and be joined by its sides."
A hungry Irishman, not long since, iu
Loudon, mistaking a bather shop for an
eating house, bolted in ami begged to be
served. The barber, supposing from the
length of his beard that lie wanted to be
shaved, knocked up a basin of suds, and
placing it before him, with u wash ball in
it, went to get the ruzor. l'at, without j
waiting lor grace, supped lip the suds, and 1
swallowed the wash ball ; and, on the bar- j
ber's returning with the razor, coolly oh- j
sorved : ' 1 hero is no occasion for u knife,
hooey; yoir soup is very good, but your j
turnip is not ijuite boiled enough." So ,
