11II[DSU]T1 R By_R. W. sisrEtsorr. Around tliis lovely valley rise The purple hills of Paradise. Oh, softly on yon banks of haze Her rOsy face Bummer lays! 13ecalmed along the azure sky, - The argosies of dotal:Hand lie, Whose thores, with many a shining rift, Far-off their pearl-white peaks uplift. Through all the long midsummer, day The meadow sides are sweet with hay. I seek the coolest sheltered seat,';; Just Just where the field and forest meet— Where grow the pine trees tall and bland, The ancient oaks, austere and grand, And fringy roots and pebbles fret The - ripples of the rivulet. I watch the mowers, as they go -- Through the tall grass, a white-sleevedrow; With even strokesihetr scythes they swing, In tune their merry whetstones ring; Behind the nimble youngsters run, And toss the thick swaths in the sun; The cattle graze—while, warm and still, Slopes the broad pasture, basks the,hill, And bright, when summer breezeit break, And green wheat crinkles like a lake. • The butterfly and bumble-bee • . Come to the pleasant woods with me ; Quickly before me runs the quall—* Thechickens skulk behind the rail; nigh up the lone wood-pigeon sits And the woodpecker pecks and ate, sweet woodland-ramie sinks and swells, The brooklet rings its tinkling bells, The swarming insects drone and hum, The paitiidge beats his throbbing dram, The.tquirrel leaps among the boughs, And chatters in his leafy bouse. Tkeuriole.flashes by t iunilook I _ Into the mirror of the brook, Where the vain blue-bird trims his coat. Two tiny feathers fall and float. As silently, as tenderly, The dawn of peace descends on me; Oh, this is peace! I have no need Of friend to talk, of book to read; ' A dear Companion here abides— Close to my thrilling heart He hides; The holy silence is his voice; I lie and listen, and rejoice. The Great West—Nebraska. Mr. B. F.Taylor writes to the Chicago Jaurnal: Three hundred and thirty*tive thou sand, eight hundred and eighty-two square miles of the earth's surface are called '"Nebraska." They comprise what was left of the Louisiana purchase after carving out Arkansas, lowa, Mis ; sonri and Minnesota; about the largest, exchange of real estate ever contem plated, if we except Satan's proposition to the. Saviour,when from the mountain top he offered him the kingdoms of the world for a consideration. If you should pack England and Ireland in some corner of its area,almost two-thirds of• Nebraska would yet be wilderness; and all their clustering English islands, the Shetlands and Orkneys, Man,Wight and the Hebrides, ranged down its cen tre in a row, would look like buttons on a waistcoat. And the contour of this magnificent territbry is readily indicated; beginning atthe river and gradually receding and rising, you have an edge of Missouri meadow; a narrow shelf of prairie; low hills' and ridges, fringed with timber along the seams and around the ankles, like.an Indians leggings; bluffs growing moderately ambitious, until at last, the genuine prairie ' starting out from the top of the bluffs, rolls away in swells five hundred and forty miles to the broken regions where the world begins to stand np t and to be called Rocky Mountains. It is a land without a lake, and with no thing approaching the dignity of a mountain but the Black Hills. But no matter; the land that gave birth to the Missouri can owe the world nothing. :Let me paint you •a picture if r can. Standing anywhere on the table-land, at the foot of Black -Bird bluff, in Deca tur, you face eastward. Across the river stand the woods, the rude veneering of lowa. The jets of steam from the mill show against' the -trees, as small and white asAhe plume of Henry of Navarre. Just opposite, you the lowa shore doed what lowans never did—retreat; the river makes a great bend and comes about as if it had some notion of not leaving Nebraska at all. You can see the, chimney-tips of a steamer just, over the trees, looking like a couple of hats. It is ten miles off by water, and only four across the meadow and through the corn. At this distance it, moves as silent "as ;':a painted ship upon a painted ocean." The smoke dots the horizon all along, just over the woods, like those little fleeces when the enemy dis closes his batteries. Pretty soon. the steamer slips round the wooded point into view, white like the rest of its race, and lettered like a sheep upon its side. See a thousand tons of grass growing, up to the little city's edge. The forest of morn standing in solid columns; the en campment of huge cones of grain, the yellow wigwams of the harveit, See those human heads drifting about over the tops of the grass, as if they all wore Mercury's caps and so had wings. Those heads have owners, and the own ers are in the saddle! Hear the tinkle of a bell,but the wearer is, invisible. A cow in that meadow is as insignificant as a rabbit. A carriage and horses growl across ,a little bridge. You get a fair view of them, and in an instant, wbh a twinkling of wheels they are gone. It is as if a woodchuck had stumbled into his burrow. And the grass has no trace of humanity; it is as wild as the hawk that dropped down into it a minute ago. Yonder goes the stage from Sioux City, bound for Othaha, sixty milei down the river: „It is a red wooden box, same tbing like a menagerie cage, with two seats inside visa-vas , i and no room with- Out for anything,.but "W.

PING 11171, , LET1N.--PHILiDELtfiIA, SATURpfy,'INATEmBEA - io, 1866..—TRIPLE SHEET ;- The lesions,Rlto Mexico._ ~ , The mission of Hon. Lewis D. Camp :hell, accompanied by Gen. Sherman, to *Mexico, reminds us of , a, similar one in 1858-9. The parties were then -Hon. ;Robt. M. McLane,of Maryland,and Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, his brother-in-law. ; Gen.: Johnstoni - thencbelonginu to ;the old army, was teat Out with =Mr: MI Lane to examine into the military con ditieri of the emintry: Thetnited Stales ,were at that time in. as much of a fog 'concerning Mexican Affairs as they are ; at the present. - .Mr. McLane had-a carte blanche, we , believe; to hunt4p a de facto government, or to enter into diplo matie relations with that which - had the: strongest hold upon life; in other words, :that which promised best in the interest of order and the United States,Gen. Johnston was to report upon the' iniliT . : 'tory situation. Everything looked fair for the Liberal Government and Juarez, though Miramon was then ruling at the city of Mexico. ' ti 1 1..; the di plomatic party arrived at : Vera- Cruz, when, lo ! they found themselve s be sieged in the Heroic city . - a nd Mira mon's mortars planted on the send hills 'beyond the plain in' a semicirole around it. All there was' of the Liberal Govern ment was shut up within the walls of the city, and shells were every now , and then bursting over it. 'The ;natives :had their houses covered with ram hides to save them from conflagratibln, and the foieign residents were crowded 'together promiscuously in the several consulates under the . proteCtion of their flags, which gave about as much pro tection as so many dish rags. For two `long weeks this lasted, when Miramon • having burnt up all his powder mounted his mortars and. went back to the capital, like a crawfish. backrards, as the Very Cruz humorous papers o -the day represented him. There upon Mr. McLane recognized the Juarez Government, which is, we believe, the beginning of our 'relations with it, of which General Sheridan writes to Gen. Sedgwick. And what better could he do? He could not get out of the city to go up into the country any further, for Miramon's forces still kept him shut up therein. He therefore, , recognized the only Government he could find, and on the appointed day, in grand procession, all the Americans in Vera Cruz went in swallow tailed, coats and white kid gloves to the City Hall, which had been metamorphosed into a government house for the occasion, to see Mr. Mc- Lane deliver his credentials, and listen to Juarez's welcome in return. It was a grand occasion as anybody can im agine who knows anything of Mexican \character and customs. Minister Campbell and Gen. Sherman start out for Mexico under very similar circumstances, thereby realizing the prophet's saying, that "there is nothing new under the sun," at least in Mexican affairs. They will not go to Vera Cruz, however; that city is held for Maximi lian. They will go round through New Mexico, and edge or sidle in by way of Santa Fe. They will probably find lt , Juarez somew ere up in the mountains of Chihuah , with imperial troops sur roundingl , very much as Miramon surrounde, him at Vera;.Cruz. That should not dauntthem, however. Mira mon, in Mr. McLane's time, finally went down; and Juarez went up, though only to go down again. These or simi lar events may yet repeat themselves with the"hearty support" of the United States. We give Juarez, at all events, the benefit of the doubt. In the mean time, Gen. Sherman can profitably em ploy himself in exploring the northern States . of Mexico, Sonora, Sinaloa, Lower California and even Chihuahua, for according to the telegraphic reports, a good slice of this country is soon to belong to the United States. The popu lation is not worth much, but the coun try is rich in silver mines, and will be of inestimable value to the United States when they resume specie payment. A Wonderful Land with Stone frees Sax unndred feet Lou.g In the Ea tern Slope newspaper we find a report of many of the curiosities and the great riches of the Black # Rock country in the northwestern portion of California. The reports of the singular features of that section are of many years' standing, but are so marvelous that they have seldom obtained cre dence. Among the wonderful stories we have heard is one that there is a petri fied tree there seven hundred feetin length! The present report in part con firms previous statements, and estab lishes the fact that Black Rock is one of the wonders of the Pacific coast, like the Yosemite, the Big Trees, the Geysers, etc. Besides the curiosi sities there appears to be an abundance of silver at Black Rock, but the ore is said to be of an unusual variety and very diffi3ult to work; but it has been worked with very good results at the mills at W, ashoe. The quantity of ore is so great that it is said it will jussify the erection of a thousand mills. A gentleman who visited the section has exhibited to the editor of the East ern. Alope very fnany natural curiosities peculiar to the country, strange petri factions from the ravines,. curious water worn pebbles from the mountain tops; knives, arrow-heads and daggers manu factured by Indian skill from solid flint, a superior quality, apparently, of ore block 'tin, said to contain six hundred dollars in silver to the ton; pebble tin, with its curious fracture, that admits no change of form, and a thousand strange and - new things. The editor says: He also tells us of many strange things that he saw but could not bring with him, and many stranger things he heard of but did not see. Among the latter list of wonders is a great basin that contains a petrified forest, apparently floated - there, Many vast :trees of solid stone, ranging from six to fifteen feet in diameter. Doubtful. las this tale may,appear, shall we dare to dispute its correctness when we know this, strange country nas a, boilingspring 'Of fresh water,fifteen feet in diameter, that ;,cannot be sounded, from which no drop , of water ever runs; that in the same vicinity there is a flowing stream of,cold and apparently good water,-the ;drinking of which induces venereal ;disease,ld_t_hat _any.. water. _found _by digging is as salt as , 'salt can make it; thata, half dollar deposited in the soil IS vaten..np by the salt, and' after thirty daysino vestige,of it can be foun.d? • . .

A race was 'made in the dark for the shaft, which being reached, a frantic shout for those stationed above to "rise up" was given, and very shortly the men were lifted to the surface. The terrified miners then - proceeded to the house of the city en gi n e eriand informed him that the tunnel was destroyed, He at once proceeded to make an explcration,which revealed the fact'that a small quantity of water and a mass of earth had fallen from a "pocket," and that was all. The men again pro ceededlo work; after a twohours' inter xuption. If no accident occurs the tunnel will be completed in about three weeks. SUDDEN GOOD FORTDNE.—On board the United States gunboat Madawaska, sometime ago, a young man held the humble position of lamp trimmer. - He was a Hungarian, whose father had been executed'for participation in Kos sixth's revolntionary • movement, and he came tot lie United States in 1848. Know ing butLiittle of the circumstances of his family, and believing all their property to be lost, after earning a precarious livelihood in other ways,he finally en tered the U. S. Navy as a "landsman," and was employed on the Madawaska to assist the captain of the hold and trim the lamp. Whilst in this position,how ever, he happened to see a newspaper, which contained [an advertisement, re questing Edward Louis Batthyanyi to communicate with certain parties, and he "would hear of something to his ad vantage." This being his own name,he lost no time in complying, and after proving his identity, was informed that his father's title and estates had de scended to him, and that he was a Hun garian Count, with an income of at least $50,000 a year, a large remittance of money being sent at the same time for his support. Being metamorphosed into a nobleman Imo deserted from the gun boat and went to Washington to get the Austrian Minister to solicit his formal discharge from the service, preparatory to his return to Hungary. The mere reading of a small newspaper advertise ment sent this manhis rare good fortune. AMERICAN LFAD PENCIL COMPANY, NEW YORE. Faotory, Hudson City, N. J.
