Tho showy Eiov- onth New York Fire Zouaves are a little to the roar of the right of these guns. The gallant Fourteenth New York Chas seurs, in their dust-covcred red uniforms, who had followed Griffith's battery at some distance, have, only a little while ninco, pushed finely up from the ravine at the rear of our batteries into the woods to the right of Griffin and Ricketts at a double-quick.

Then out from tho silence between us stole A message that reached to my inmost soul; “Why w»p you today, who have wept before, That the road was rough I must journey o’er?' Why mourn that my lips can answer not When anguish and sorrow arc- both forgot? Behold, all my life I have longed for rest, Yea, e’en when I held you on my breast; And, now that I lie in a breathless sleep. Instead of rejoicing, you sigh aud weep.

The scene at the bottom of tho mine Is remarkable. Scattered over tho irregular surface are, perhaps, 3,003 Kaffirs, well- made men, stark naked, and black as obony. These men drill the blasting holes under the orders of the white miners, work out tho loosened ground with pick and shoved, load aud tip the trucks, take up aud relay the tramways as the levels alter, and do all the hard work under white overseers, who are directed by the claim manager. To a stranger tho soene is weird ami uncanny. The noise of the pumping engines, the resounding blows of the heavy hammers on the steel diills, tho jarring nciso of tho iron trucks aud their tipping, and the wild appearance and un earthly shouts ot tho perspiring Kaffirs, all combines to make one cast a longing glance upward, and hail with inward joy the sound of the be’l above, which pro claim that the day’s work is done. The ascending trucks now carry up tho white overseers aud officials, while the Kaffirs swarm like black ants up preci pitous paths and hanging ladders, and in it few minutes the mino is silent, and ap parently deserted.
