[From the N. Y.^Metropolitan BccorhiX The So ii til. Her head is howed downwards; so pensive her air, * . ? As she looks yn the ground wjth her pale, .solemn face, It were hard to decide whether faith, or . despair, * . .. r VvheUieT anguish, or trust, m uer neart hulas a place. ? Her hair was all gold in the Bun's joyous light. Her brow was as smooth as tho soft, pla? cid sea: But the harrows of care came ^jthshadow of night, And the gold silvered pale when the lighl . left tho lea. ^ * * Her lips sliglftly parted, deep thought ii her eye, "W^iile sorrow cuts seams in her forehead so fair; Her bosom heaves genfly, she stifles a sigh ' And just moistens her lid with thc dewi of a tear. * Why (hoops sjae thus earthward; why ber "she? ph, see! There art gyves on her litnbs! see hei manaeledhpnd! She is loaded with chains; but her spirit ii ? free Free to love and to mourn for her deso late land. Her jailor, though cunning, lacks wit t< devise How to fetter her thoughts, at-, heriimbi he has done; ? The eagle that's snatched from his High to the ?kies, From the bars of his cage may still,gazi at the sun. No sound docs she utter; all Voiccjcfs he pains; ? The wounds of her spirit with pride sh conceals; . * She is dumb to her shearers; the. clank o . ?her chains '% And the throbs of her heart only tel what she feels. She looks sadly around her; how sombr the scene! 0 How thick the deep shadows that darke her view! The black embers of homes where th earth was so green, And the smokes* of her wreck where th heavens shone blue. * Her daughters bereaved of all succor bi God, Her bravest sons perished-the light < her eyes; But oppression's sharp heel does not ct .neath the sod, And she knows that thc chains canin bind in the skies. She thinks of the vessel she aided to buili Of all argosies richest that floated tl seas', Compacted so strong, framed bv architec skilled, ..Or to dare the. wild storm, or to sail 1 the breeze. 'The balmiest winds blowing soft where si stool's, Thc favor of heaven illuming her path; She might safl as she pleased to the nu summer airs. And avoid the dread "regions of tempe and wrath. But the crew quarreled soon o'er the car; she bore; 'Twas adjusted unfairly, the caville said; And the anger of men marred the pea that of yore* ? Spread a bisad path of glory and su shine aheaflr. * There were seams in her planks-the were spots on her flag, So thc fanatks said, and they seized . her helm, And from soft summer seas turned her pr* where the crag And the wild breakers r*bse the good si to overwhelm. Then thc South, though true love to t . vessel she bore, . Since she first lajd its keel in tire d? that were gone^ Saw it plunge madly on to the wild bille r?ar, And rush to destruction and ruin forlo So she passed, from the decks, in the fa ol' her heart * . That justice and God her protect would be Hot dashed liko a frail, fragile spar, wi out chart, In the fury and foam of the wild rag j. sea. The life-boat that hung by the stout ? cd's side * She seizod, and embarked on thc w trackless main, In the faith that she'd reach, makin'; tue her ghide, The h^veu the mother ship failed to . tain. But thc crew filled with wrath, and 1 swore oy tuen* migiit They would sink the" brave boat, that buffet the sea, . For daring to seek, by her honor and ri A new port from tue storms, a new li to be free. So they crushed the brave boat; al) be?rance they lost; They Uttered .vith ruins the ocean so i Till the hulk of the parent ship, beaten tossed, Drifted prone on the flood by the w of the child. And the-bold rower, loaded with fetters chains, In thc .gloom of her heart sings the p vessel's dirge; Half forgets, in its wreck", all tho pain her pains, As she sees its steal parts floating ; in thu surge. SAVANNAH, Ga., August 17,1?C5. "All bitters have a Heating doney or effect, " said a doctor young lady. "You will except ? ter cold morning? won't you, doa inquired the lady. ^?X-GOV?BNOB A. B. MOORE.-.We are pleased to see that Ex-Gov. A. B. Mooro, lat? prisoner at Fort Pulaski, near Savannah, Ga., has returned to his home in this place. He -was liberated on parole, on accountof his health. He waa most cordially .welcomed by everybody, tor his friends arc so numerous and sosftadfast, that those who class themselves otherwise are generally scarce worth being classed at alL j Indeed, we think we may safely say of him, that he is a public man without an enemy-a fact which, is in itself a sufficient commentary on the integrity of his public life and the purity of his private character. His sufferings in Fort Pulaski were prin? cipally the result of rheumatic affec? tion, with which he has been afflicted for years. He seems to be in very good health in other respects, al? though he is somewhat dyspeptic. His ?fellow-prisoners ware Hons. J. A. Seddon and J. A. Campbell, Secretary and Assistant Secretary of War, and Hon. li. M. T. Hunter, Senator from Virginia. He represents them as having been somewhat gloomy in their anticipations at thc time he joined them. At the time he left them, however, they hau'- thrown off thor depression to a great extent, a fact not very . surprising to those who understand and can appreciate the ex-Governor's genial manners and engaging colloquial powers. Even the Yankee officers expressed regret at his departure, and wished it within th*ir power to accord him an un? conditional release. , [Marion Commonwealth. ' WHERE UKE BRITISH MINISTER i LIVES.-"Agate," of the Cincinnati Gazette, tells a very good sto?r in "?iis fashion: i . A certain worthy general lives, with his staff, next dopr to the nett British minister. That functionary, as a new comer, was not unnaturally puz? zled by the nomenclature of the Washington streets. Finally he de? termined to seek for authenic infor? mation. Accordingly, one evening, there appeared before the group of staff officers next door a vision of white neckclotl: and swallow-tail coat, with knee breeches and handsome calves the valet, -to wit: "Aw, gentlemen, Sir Frederick presents his compli? ments, and desires to know whether 'is 'ouse is on the havenue?" There? to gravely responded, with courteous bow and gracious smile, one of worthy staff: ."Orive Sir Frederick the compliments ol' Colonel -, and inform him that his house is on Hell (Ii) street!" "Thank you; Sir Frederick will bo very much hoblig ed." And the faithful valet hasten - ened to inform the minister. A smart three-months old Cochin China rooster, residing in Portland, Maine, had a mortal combat with a full-grown rat recently. The light was well contested on both sides, and after a continuance of thirty-five minutes, ended in ?he death of the rat. The feat of walking eight miles in ! one hour was accomplished at Bromp? ton, England, on the 10th ult., by a pedestrian named Spooner. He made the distance without exhaustion, with .in one minute and twenty second, of an hour. He was walking in a fifteen mile matdh. * A man has been sent to jail in Troy for talking about a horse trade in church. Two men ware fined in Providence lately for swearing in a theatre.
