I oucc did love n lovely belle, , 1 know 1 loved her truly well; 1 thought she loved nio In return, Ana now my licnrt with love did burn. She said !u language very plain, That for my xnke, uli'd change her nunio, And ho my true and loving vjlfe, That wo might live a hoppy lifo. I was not doubtful of succet>8, Though I was doomed to great distress, She caught a much more wealthy heau, And tlion, you very well must know, That 1 was treated with disdain, Ai..I ?nl.l i "" """ ?? ? My rival sported with her heart. And thought ho acted very smart; llo many little vows did mako, And tried her little heart to break. Wbon he was gone, forotor gone, She wished she never had been bora? Sho did not very long complain, llut asked if I would come again. She sent to mo a few short lines, Which roused tho lovo of former times; Sho said with mo to live and die, IT...! ? -1.-1- .1? Slio talked ro good, nml looked 80 kind, I wished again to call Iter mine. I, many linppy hours did spend, With her, mid thought she was my friend; Iiut now nho caught another beau, And turned off me, just as before; She now bocamo my rival's wife? So ceascd my love and zealous strife. II o said he would be kind and true, But, oh i lie loved his"brandy, too; Sho now becarno a drunkard's slave, Jtut soon lie filled a drunkard's grave, And left her with a shattored heart, To uct the dimless widow's part. ~'w&m&rY........'^2 Letter from PensacolaThe letter below is from l'ensacola, and bears the date of the 18th of April. It comes from one of that army of brave, heroic men who aro waiting impatiently for Ujq word of command. This letter contains the latest account from that point on which the intensest interest has nflntrnd fhr snmi> n?<1 will l>n winJ nriili ... ....~ ..... ...v.. | profound interest : We nrc situated thus. The "Warrington ' Navy Yard is seven miles by land from Pen- : saeola and six miles and three-quarters by j water. Our bay is largo?some six miles wide and ten or fifteen miles long. About a mile from the Navy Yard, West, is Fort Harraneas, and about a mile from Fort Barrancas is Fort McHac, which commands the bar.? Directly opposite Fort McRac is Fort Pickens, the channel running between them.? Near Fort Barrancas is n redoubt. On the opposite side of Pcnsacola, across the bay, is > Santa Bosa Island, which runs West several miles to the bar, at the extremity of which , is Fort Pickens. A vessel coming into the hnrbor must necessarily pass between Forts Pickens and McIIrp, and in closo proximity to Barrancas and the Navv Yard. General Bragg has several snnil batteries on the beach, strongly fortified, between the Lighthouse and Fort Mcllae, and between Forts Mcllae and Barrancas, and between Barrancas and the Navy Yard. The Confederate States have now stationed at our fortifications about 5000 men?two regiments from Mississippi (terrible men,) one Yogi mailt from Georgia (bravo and well disciplined men,) and one or two regiments from Alabama. Wo arc placed hero in a different position to that of Charleston and Fort Sumter.? There is a connection by land to the fortresses, while at Charleston your connection is by water. Troops arc arriving hourly, and I don't know how many wc will have here when all arrivo. Thero are four vopscIb outside of the harbor?the frignto Sabine, the sloop-of-war St. Louis, tho steamer Brooklyn (all large vessels,) and the gun-bo^it Wyandotte of four guns.

Bragg intended to send inon on Santa Rosa Island Inst Friday night to erect batteries, f?.nd sent it up to that paper for publication, thinking, perhaps, that it was smart. The paper, no doubt, got aboard of the fleet of Fort Pickens; anyhow Fort Pickcns was reinforced that night. This has been tho cousequencc of newspaper correspondence. Wo received to day the news of the attack and surrender of Fort Sumter, which was hnilcd hero with joy. Our turn comes next, and look for tho attack very shortly. We liavo the men to fight with, and if they over get into Fort Pickcns their officers will never bo able to restrain thoni. Wo are to have the Imrdest fighting here. ITere will be, in reality, the " seat of war." God knows what the result will be, but our belief is that Providcnco is on our side. Fort Pickens will bo taken. I have writton more than I intonded. I cannot givoyou any information respecting the number of guns we have mounted, or those the enemy h$?. o. The Confkokuatk Loan.?Tho Charleston Courier, of yesterday, says : "Tho quota of tho Confederate loan which iv wiu? utiuuiuu proper anu lair to expcct, and which it was desired to procure from South Carolina, was $1,250,000. " The persistent slanderers of the South | will say, of course, that "a forced loan" to that amount was raised or ordered. The books opened on Wednesday, however, for tho first day, showed, in and for thin city nlono tho neccptnnco of tho loan to the nmount of 82,080,000, or well nigh double tho whole amount oxpoctod ffom the wholo State. Wo have no doubt other towns ond citieft in the State will respond in equul pro i>uivivu ?i pupuitibiuu una rooourcca. , A dispatch from Savannah says thnt the private subscriptions on Tuesday Amounted to 8137,000.

Our Northorn exchange* njcoived yesterday, uro of eourno full of the exciting topic of tlie times. The New York papers generally Fccni dit> ^pointed at tho surrender of Fort Sumter, but almost nil sustain the ppsition gf Linenln. nnd promise hiiu a cordial and prompt response of men and money. Tho Tribune Boyn:. "Fort Sumter is lost, but freedom is saved," and adds, that in losing ?L ti i ?' ? ?? tin' lull, - vr?; Iinvv gillllCU II UIIIK'll pCOpjO. The Times is blood-thirsty, thinks civil war ib not so much of :?.n evil after nil, and nays, " the Covormnont cannot, with fidelity to its trust, recognize tho independence of the Southern" States, on any other basis than that which every nascent nation is compelled to take?that of superior strength." The Time* also condemns tho proclamation of Mayor Wood, as an indirect inoitation to riot, and as giving aid and comfort to tho secessionists. The Commercial Advertiser, Evening J'otf, Courier and Eitquircr, and ft it it, ventilate their rage in various forms, according to their several tempera incuts, but all agrco that the coercion policy of Lincoln must be sustained. Tho Journal of Commerce plucob tho responsibility of the war upon Lincoln, and says that ho has at last thrown off the mask and declared liis true character. It adds : " If this position of the President was foil}' when first announced, it is madness now, when the Government of the Confederate States is thoroughly organized and in operation, nnd all the military posts within their limits, with two or three exceptions, in their possession." Most of tho Northern States heard from have responded to Lincoln's call for troops. In Philadelphia, on Monday, the office of the Palmetto Flay, a newspaper recently established there, was mobbed. The office would have been entirely destroyed, but for the interference of the Mayor. The house of Gen. Patterson, who is suspected of secession proclivities, was threatened with jestruotion. \ Several prominent Southerners, including Robert Tyler, have received warnings from a ' viiriluncc committee. Foreign Recognition.?A Mr. Gregory, a member of the British Parliament, lately | gavo iiotiec that he would, at an early day, move the adoption of a resolution, calling upon tho British Government to i^oojinize forthwith the independence of tho Confederate States of America. Upon a subsequent day, Mr. Gregory gave notice that ho would bring forward his motiou on Tuesday, the 17th instant. In tho course of ton days wo may expect to receive the report of the debato which occurred in tho House of Commons on that occasion. How desirable it would have been if tho news <5f tho reduction of Fort Sumter could have been received in England before the evening of the debate referred to Wo publish, iu connection with the foregoing, tho following extract of a letter from England, addressed to a mercantile house of this city, under date of March 30 : A r / v/U> ..IVVIVKI/ IIMU ail.MUl'J 1(1 Alllt'liunil a I fairs continues (juitc its strong us ever, as the new Cabinet nt Washington ia just us uncertain in its policy ns the old. There is one consideration, however, wlijch is very elenj, viz : that the Southern Confederation is gaining strength very fast, so that our rail splitting friend will soon begin to fear its power, and must soon give up its ridiculous notions, so often expressed, that the United States Constitution remains unbroken, and that he will simply carry out its provisions and laws. " T have been astonished at thc.dcclaration attributed to 0csi. Scott, that :jo loss than 20,000 men and a formidable fleet will be necessary in order to reinforce Fort Sumter. If this bo true, I hope the Federal powers will show that discretion m, in this particular instance, the bettor part of valor. " You would be pleased to see by some of tho numbers of tho Times which I often send, that a motion is to ho made in the IIousc of Commons, on the 8th of April, for acknowledging the independence of tho Confodernto States.

According to a document prepared by the central committee of Assistance in London, from information supplied by the Turks themselves, the number of christians who lost their lives is 10,000, including women and ohildren. The number of women and young girls carried off and sold to the Turks is 13,000. The number of christians of all sects reduced to ruin by these events is 70,000.

Wigfall walked round tho 1 breakwater nud finally crawlcd through a cane- i mate. Private Young and the negroes re- < mained without in tho buat. Shell ami shot ' i full around them like hail. So thick was tho 1 shower that tho negroes refused longer to re- < mailt exposed, ?nd wore about to ledvo. Mr. i Young drew his revolver, and threatened to i shoot the Grst !!!?.!! wl>o <ltiroil to movo. This 1 effectually quieted them. Wigfullsoo'i after 1 | eatno out, remaining iifteen minutes.

( Although during the thirty-four consecutive hours through which tho bombardment lasted, not a man was in any way injured upon our side, it cannot be said that our rncii altogether escaped Major Anderson's balls. Ah 1 Captain Jones was standing in the Point Bat- j tory a spent ball, which had struck the sand j bags above, rolled over, striking him upon the back of the neck, but not with sufficient force j to hurt him. Tho bull?a 32-pounder?-was preserved as a memento of the occasion. Incidknts of tup: Pomnahdmknt and ! Suhhkndkr.?Fort Sum tor was delivered up j on Saturday to Cnpt. Ferguson, one of Gen. Peauregard'8 aids, despatched to receive it,and raise upon its walls the Confederate flag. Previous to leaving, Major Anderson careful- i ly pointed out the location of the mines which he had laid to defeud his post; also tho powder magazines, with the danger to which ho might bo exposed by the progress of the fire, etc. After performing these offices, he deliv- | ercd up the keys. It is understood that Major Anderson had . intended to fire o salute of one hundred guns | 1 botorc striking the United States flag, both | the national salute of thirty-four or thirty six guns, nnd the President's salute of twentyone guns. This not being particularly agreeable to the captors of the fort, he determined to fire a full salute, but one without special 1 [ print. The accident which happened to his : gunners put a stop to his intention. Immediately upon seeing the futil effect, Major AVhitmg wrote an order for the Confederate ' troops to bury the body in the parade ground of Fort Sumter, with all the honors of war, and sent a copy to Major Anderson, who was 1 visibly affected by this token of respect towards his brave garrison by their victorious : enemies. Tho Confederate flag and the ensign of j South Carolina were hoisted simultaneously I on the ramparts looking towards Charleston. . , Tho two flag staffs upon which the colors had ! been raised had been lashed to two guns, near ! j one another by Commodore llartstene, and | i iubv Biiuii: U11.VU11 ic-et uuuvc uio parapet.

And can it be wondered that pleasant summer mornings should beguile them into going? Is it a marvel that they do not wait for the burden and the noon, but follow the lark and hear her song over the rim of tho rainbow ? That those words, so beautiful, they uhouM make so true, " und joy comoth in thi: morning?"

Ambition.?The rond ambition travels is too narrow for friendship, too crooked for love, too rugged for honesty, and too dark for science. HoW brightly do little joys beam upon a soul which stands on a ground darkened by clouds of sorrow ! So do stars como forth from thu empty sky, when we look up to them from a deep well. A -shameless contemporary says: "The ago of a j'oung lady is now expressed according to the stylo ot skirls, by saying eighteen springs have passed over her head." MEDICAL NOTICE?RFMOVAIj. V\ltS.
