VIOLETS ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE, A Tribune correspondent, in going over a portion of the field, after the battle of the Wilderness, saw a young soldier or the Union, lying among heaps of slain rebels, himself severely wounded, his feeble hands reaching out for clusters of violets, which were growing near. Where the dead were lying thickest, Where the ground was sodden wet, Where the "grey" and "blue" were mingled, Hands tight locked in conflict yet, Where the blood, like summer rain, Had been poured upon the plain ; Where they rallied to the onset, Where they charged with faces grim, Where the iron-throated cannon, Thundered out the battle-hymn, Where the good old flag of stars, Chased the base-born rebel bars. When the dews of night had alien, And the morning sun bad shone Andthe frightened birds returning Sang within the greenwood lone, When pursuers and pursued, All had left that field of blood : One lay there—amid tho rebels, Wrapped in faded, tattered blue, 43-rimed with smoke, and stained with crimson, Torn by bullets, through and through, ►Faint and weak, and almostsone— Must he dis there all alone? 'till` a bay, his clustering ringlets, Stained and stiff with clotted gore, 'Curls, that mother was so proud of, Long ago, before the war. Ah! her heart is sad to-day, For her darling for away.! Cold left hand is pressing firmly , At the wound upon his side, White right , hand is groping faintly, For the flowers that, near him hide, Violets! see the glad surprise, Smiling iri his soft blue eyes.

NO. IV. DEAR EDITH :-I regret that my re ply to your last letter has been so long deferred. But when I have given you some account of my engagements, you will excuse me. I have spent part of three days at the 4 Academy of Natural Sciences," an institution of which this city may well be proud. Although I have given so large a share of my time to it, I have scarcely turned a leaf in that folio of knowledge. It is a place to make one feel keenly their own ignorance. There is. such a field to enter upon, so many departments are comprised in that " Tern tile of Science," that I felt bewildered at first. Lhope, however, that lam enrich ed by some new ideas on subjects to which I`have devoted a part of my time for the last three or four years. I wished. 'for_ you while profiting by the remarks of .Mr. N--, whose friendship for:Uncle James led him to &vote several morn ings to my instruction. I had only met this -gentleman once previous to our; visit to.the-" Academy.' Aunt Helen :Went with, us the first day ; after that other 4 3ngagemonts prevented, so that I had. the best opportunity for asking questions 4, in which practice you know me to be a proficient. I-must say, that Mr. N— displayed a commendable degree, of pa tienoedn :giving information.. I have been favoured lately with a pretty conclusive talk with Mr. B—, and I think I promised in my last letter to resume the subject, commenced in a former letter. In our second conversa tion I asked Mr. B— if he had modified his views since we had discussed the intellectual standard of the young ladies of this favoured city. "Indeed, I have not, Miss Evans I" was the prompt reply. I remarked that in the last talk we had, he had given me a pretty fair sketch of the daily life of a fashionable young 'lady. " The present system of education, Miss Evans, helps to make the young ladies of the present day selfish, frivolous and uninteresting. They have no just idea of the responsibility of their position ; mental gifts, or wealth, being viewed by them only as an additional means of gratifying their tastes in vari ous ways. Fond of excitement, they live in a constant round of fashionable amusements, neglecting all solid and ra tional cultivation of their minds, leading a surface life ; thinking only of the pre sent hour. Then what deplorable results follow from the principles and practice of these worldly minded young people ! Material in all their aims and estimates, they limit their ideas to the riarrow range of this presentlife. They estimate people by their clothing, their jewels, their houses ; unless they represent pro perty of a material kind, they are not worthy of notice. To such young persons, intellect or moral power is not worth any consideration; so _inqi_lrjent are they to such attractions, that when brought into the society ofthose who possess these qualities, they avoid exchanging remarks, and are anxious to leave such dull, un congenial beings. People who do not talk of parties, or the fashions, know nothing of their set." "I was much impressed with Mr. B—'s earnestness, but felt somewhat perplex ed, as I could not defend the course that he, described. He observed my, perplex ity and said with some feeling : 'Remem ber, Miss. Evans, tide is not a general censure of the young-ladies in this city; I speak only of a certain, class, those de voted to a Sashionable life. They are easily recognized by an accurate, observ er, ancl . this state of things is in some measure - the result of the culpable ne glect of parent's. Children are not taught to find their chief happiness at , home: As a result,, they are not contented un less they, can seek their amusements in the gay world and live in constant ex citement , Parental authority not always supreme even in childhood, is almost nugatory 'when these' young people begin to act for, themselves. I appeal to you, Miss Evans, (mentioning some families that I know well,) if those households, do not prove the:truth of my assertions." I was obliged to admit; that as far as My' observation went, it confirmed his state ment. I must tell you how much I love Nellie. She has'been very kind, to me, and my gravity does not deter her in her efforts to secure me as a companion in her walks. I have learned a great deal from the pet of the household in our confidential talks. Does it not appear strange' to you tha r t such a blithe fairy -should fancy me? What a solid - letter I have written you, but it was by your own request. My love to all my friends, the reading circle to be included of course. M. E. M Affectionately yours, HELEIT. THE 'HIM OF IRIBM'EMIGEATION. ;, A recent number of the _banner of Ulster contains the ,following .extracts': The _Roscommon; Messenger says "Some idea may be formed of the num bers leaving this Country from the fact that since Monday last, the earliest ship which Mr., Bligh, agent here for Tap sCott's and Inman's line, could engage passengers for were in the former for a ship to leave on the ,20th inst., and in the: latter for a steamer -on the 30th, so the passages are now all taken nearly a month in advance. A great number of those are secured in America for friends in Ireland. When we bear in mind that one of. Tapscott's ships leaves Liverpool every four days, and that two of the In man's leave Cork each week, we can better estimate the nUmbeeleaving this country.' We are also told that each month for the last four, the number seek ing passages has been steadily on the increase.' The Londonderry Journal informs us that, in addition the emigration by steamer, the number of persons going out to America from this port by sailing vessels is really immense. The ships of Messrs. W. M' Corkell & Co., and Messrs. J., & J. Cooke are leaving almost every other day, each vessel carrying as many passengers as she can accommodate. The Scotsman says,that on Friday the screw steamer St. Andrew left the Tail of the Bank for Portland and New York, having over 400 passengers on board. Of these only 120 were emigrants from Scotland, 152 having arrived at Greenock from ,Liverpool, and about 150 from Londonderry, per that morning's steam er. Those from Liverpool sere princi pally foreigners, with a slight mixture of Irish and English, while those from Londonderry were almost entirely Irish. A large number of the foreigners, :as well as the Irish, expressed their intention of joining the Federal army on arriving at New York. On Wednesday morning last, ' the steamboat Laurel sailed from Sligo for Glasgpw, having on board over one hun dred Aigranti • and on the evening of the same day ,the Sligo sailed for'Liver- PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1864. pool bringing about fifty emigrants en route to America. On Friday night the Shamrock sailed far Liverpool with more , than five hundred emigrants, chiefly from I the County' Mayo, and many also from the neighborhood of Grange and Clif foney, in this county. It was truly heartrending to witness the leave-taking of the emigrants and their friends who remain behind for the present. Six hun, dred and fifty for one week, from one port, in addition to the hundreds who have gone before them from Sligo ! —Sligo Champion. The tide of emigration still continues to flow from this port. Every steamer carries away large numbers of healthy, active, blooming young women, who comprise fully three-fourths of those seeking a better home in the New World. On Wednesday last nearly three hundred sailed, and their appearance bespoke that they belonged to the class which we have been accustomed to look on as " conafortable."--.Dunclak Xxaminer. The number of persons leaving the coun try is, perhaps, less than it was some weeks ago, which may be accounted for by the fact:that the shipping agents are unable to forward passengers on application, the number already booked with some lines being more than can obtain berths for the next fortnight.—Ballinastoe Star. The numbers who have left by the train this week amounted to over 650 emigrants-204 from this district, 60 from Claremorris, and the residue from Ballyhapis.—Mayo Constitution. An editorial in the same number of the Banner of Ulster says In these days of comparative prosper ity, and when the masses of Ireland's inhabitants are in a much better position than they have ever been before, the rapid.depopulation ofhe country appears unaccountable to those who know little of its inner history. Sixty years sago, :the census of Ireland was five and a quarter millions; in 1844 the numerical strength of the people was eight, and a quarter million and now, in` 1864, the population is only ; About five and a half millions. From , 1847 to the present ; the people of this country have been spreadirig themseves over different parts of the globe, but especially on - the Am erican Continent and in the several islands of Australia. Those whO sought , mit ".locations.-fore themselves in , those portions of the world have generally been successful, and, to their honour be it stated, they-hays not forgotten " the old folks , at home ;" but, as soon- as they foundmeans to do so, they have aided in conveying their relatives to the lands of hope, and thus vast numbers of peo ple who otherwise could never have transported theinselves to other climes are at present on the fair, way of 'gaining a respectable position for themselves on the other side-the Atlantic, or beyond . the Pacific. If .a correct picture were drawn of the every-day existence of Cie lowers ranks of the agriculturists in Ire land—of the struggles and endurance to which they are subjected--few persons world feel astonised•that such immense numbers fly to distanrcountries. LIFE INS IItANOE AND TEI WAR. Among the blessings which our rebel; , lions masters threw away, because more than their s ' equal ''share of liberty was not good enough for them, was a pretty large interest in our northern mutual" life insurance i ,companies, they having none' of theirown. Our companies were 'no losers by this. On the other hand, not a few of them profited by the 'forfei ture of southern policies to an amount far greater -than sufficient to cover the `subsequent war risks of their 'members. Still there were two questions which caused some solicitude to the guardians of these . institutions. First, whether ttte contittance of the war would not diminish their business; and second,: whether it:would not • increase the mor tality so as to impair their funds.: So far as the twenty-five e.ompanies now doing Inisiness in Massachusetts are concerned, the year ending November' 1863, answered the first question, that their business had experienced an in of thirty-seven' per cent. in its cash receipts, and thirty-two and a half per cent. in the amount insured ; that is, the amount of insurance has increased from one hundred and ninety-six millions of dollars to about two hundred, and sixty millions, and the usual revenue loin seven and a half millions to ten, and a quarter mil loins. It answered the second question by showing the ratio of the number of deaths to the lives insured scarcely a shade higher than in any of the former years in which we haVe noted it. In some particular companies the losses by deaths on war risks may have slightly exceeded, the extra, war premiumS'receiv ed, but in the aggregate the military ex posure thus far has not impaired the funds of the companies, nor has it pro duced 'Such an effect on the aggregate mortality as would have attracted par ticular notice in time of peace. The light mortality which has always char a,cteried our Amercan life insurance companies, has still prevailed. The' policies terminated by death'have been 873, while by the 'combined experience of the :English comPanies, they should have been 1165. This evidence of safe and successful operation in the midst of a struggle which might be expected to pa i ralize every institution looking beyond the safety of the present, •shows what an amount of reserved force there is 'in the, loyal part of the iepublici And Ought to teach traitors a lesson of despair in their work of destruction— Atimfisitnients.
