TIIIIIIBDAY, JULY 18. 1881
Mrs. Browning, the Poetess.
On the 213th of June all that was mortal o
England's greatest female poet passed away.
Elizabeth - Barrett Barrett Browning died on'
that day, in Florence, a city which she loved
well, and where she had lived many years.
Without the dignified manner of -hire. Romans,
the love-sick feeling of poor L. E. L., the me
lodious tenderness of Mary Ann Browne, the
earnest simplicity of Mrs. Sigourney, or the'
imposing egotism of Mrs. Norton, it must bo
conceded that no poetess using the Foglish
language wrote with so much depth and purity
of passion, or with such a constant high pir
pose. She has passed away, at the age of 52,
just when it was hoped that lengthened years
of promise and performance were before.her..
Let us; while many sweet and' sad memories
of the departed are quick throngitig into our
mind, toll our readers something about her, as
a Woman and a Poet.
Her father, who atilt lives, we believe, was
an EngliSh gentleman of ample means—some- .
thing between a French rentier an - I an Ameri
can millionaire. She was one of a large fa
mily, and her father, himself «a scholar and
a ripe ono," educated all hid children alike.
Thus Elizabeth Barrett Barrett (her having
the extra surname repeated at her baptism
was accidental,) was bettor instructed in clas
sics, modern languages, science, and philo
sophy than the generality of men. Very early
shA began to write, contributing to periodi
cals. She gi rushed into print," an 1826,
in a small volume entitled cr An Essay on
Kind and other Poems." The principal com
position here is a metaphysical and reflective
poem in the heroic measure. As no .portion
of the contents of this volume Las been pre
served in her collected poems, it may be con
sidered as a literary curiosity, especially by
those who
Would bum to know when first the Light awoke
In her young soul—and if the gleams that broke
Prom that Aurora of her genies, raised
More pain or blies in those on whom they blazed ;
Would love to trace th' unfolding of that power,
Whloh bath grown ampler, grander, every hour ;
And feel, in watching o'er her first advance '
As did the Egyptian traveller, when he stood
By the young Nile, and fathomed with his lanost
The first small fountains of that mighty flood.
Her next appearance, as an author, was
seven years later—in 1833, when (born in
1809) abe bad reached the ago of twenty-four
—and her book was entitled gi Promethene
Bound, and Miscellaneous Poems." This free
translation won praise from some eminent,
critics—but rather, we suspect, because of
the marvel of a young lady knowing Greek
like a Professor than on account of its merit
as a transfusion of yEsehYlus into English. The
Quarterly Review said it was «a remarkable
performance for a young lady, but not a good
translation in and by itself." In after years,
her own published opinion on this work was,
that it was " an early failure," and, when she
replaced it, still later, by a new translation,
!tile expressed a regret, in a letter to the
writer of the present article, that the Prome
theus was too well known for her to think of
totally suppressing it.
. Miss Milford has, recorded, in her pleasant
"Recollections or a Literary Life," that her
acquaintance with Miss Barrett commenced
about 1880. She says: tc she
. certeirily wag
one of durmast interesting personttgiitlltad:

said the same; so that it is riot merely the
impression of my partiality ormy enthusiasm.
Of a slight, delicate figure, with a shower of
dark curls falling on either side of ti l- Most ex
pressive face, large fonder eyes richly fringed
by dark eye-lashes, a smile Else a sunbeam,
and finch a look of youtbfulness that. I had
some .difftenity in persuading a friend: in
whose carriage we wont together to Chiswick,
that the tranalatresa of the Prometheus'-of
Aschylus, the authoress of the 'Essay on
Mind,' was old enough to be introduced Into
company, in technical language, was out.
I saw much of her during my stay in town.
We met so constantly and familiarly that, in
spite of the difference of age, intimacy ripen
ed in friendship, and after my return into the
country, we corresponded freely and frequent
ly, her letters being just what letters ought to
be—her own talk put upon paper."
In 1838, tcThe Seraphim, and
_other,
Poems," was publiahed,-and, very soon after,
Miss Barrett's health so ,mach _failed that she
was ordered to winter at Torquary,"a sea-town
in Devonshire, which, from its renovating sa=
lubrity, has been called the Montpelier of
England. She was accompanied by, her elder
brother—a man worthy Of such relationship—
and other relatives.. A twelvemonth's resi
dence here had nearly restored- her health,
when the
_accidental death of her brother,
who, with two of his friends; was drowned,-
almost before ber eyes, gave a shock to her
nervous system which Made her an invalid for
years, confined to her 'own rooms, in her fa
ther's London residence, where she rarely saw
any but' near relatives and familiar friends.
Still, the impulse to write was unabated, and
the power was increaaed. In 1839 appeared
"The Moment of the Page." 809 n after
to the London elthenauni she gave a series of
thoughtful, critical, and appreciative articles
on the Greek Christian Poets. The first col_
lective edition of her poems was published
in 1844. A few of her earlier composi
tions, with some new pieces, were included
in this collection, among which was that re
markable "poem "Lady Geraldine's °Mut
ship," the peculiar rytbm and some df' l the
effects Of which appear to have materially
influenced, if they did not iuggest, Xoe's
"Raven," written subsequently. Miss Mit
ford records that Miss Barrett's ic Lady Geral
dine" was composed in only twelve' hours.
It bears palpable marks of haste, and would
be greatly improved by having some of its
diffuseness condensed. Still it is a marvellous
poem.
In 1844, the author of the present rapid
memorial, who bad been On 'preirions cor.
respondence with Miss Barrett" n'pon , literary
subjects, was honored with an invitatior4 visit
her, at her father's residence, so Wiinpole=
street, London. She was wheeled in upon a
sofa, from her own large chamber, to a . , small
and darkened boudoir adjoining. • As far as
could be noticed in that shadow, she was pale
and thin, with her brown hair in rather limp
ringlets. Her hand, like•Frincesca's,
Was so thin and transparent of hue,
You oould almost see the moon shine through.
She conversed freely upon a great variety
of subjects—authors,- books, politics, religion,
the fine arta, and, more reluctantly, upon her .
own writings. She declared that but for the
solace of song she believed she musthave died
long before. She professed' herself a groat
newspaper reader, and thanked Journalism
for telling all that passed in the world out of
doors. She did not shrink from alluding to her
own 111 health, saying that she long since had.

write, and a mingled feeling of Humanity and
Womanhood formed the undercurrent of her
whole conversation. The truprOssion which
we then conceived of this i remarkable woman
was confirmed at, subacquimt interviews.
The 'swath which she did not expect was :
performed, however, and the God who exe

HEADQUARTYRE TWENTY-811COND REGIICEPT,
"Came WOOL," Baltimore, July 15.
I believe it can be said, with truth, that,
since this regiment has been in the service of
the United States, (now nearly three months,)
no member of it has taken the trouble to
icblow ats trumpet of praise,,' bunt, otathe con
trary, have set an example which might have
been followed with profit by the other Phila.
delphia regiments ; bat now.that our time is
drawing to a close, it may be welt enough,
and not altogether out of place, to give a
plain statement of facts in relation to this re
giment.
In the first place, the First Infantry Hegi
inent, (Philadelphia Light Guards,) third bri
gade, first division, (now styli d the Twenty
second Regiment, but why, I am unable to
tell,) was the first full regiment mustered in
the. United States'service in Ponnnsylvania.
In •the second place, Colonel Morehead now
has an his possession a letter from the War De
partment, accepting the services of the regi
ment for three years; • and, further, it is the
first and only one of the three.months volun
teers from our State which has been. formally
accepted for three years, all newspaper re
ports to the contrary notwithstanding.
Wo are also advised from Washington that
the regiment will be ordered home the last of
this 'week, or first of next, and will be mus
tered out . of service immediately. It is the
Colonel's - intention to commence recruiting al
once, and •he expects to have his regiment
thll (say a thousand strong) and ready, to
march in two weeks from that time. Here is
a splendid chance for our young men who are
desirous of serving their country to get into a
crack regiinent, commanded by old and expe
,ilenced•odicers; many of whom saw service in
Mexico: All, .or nearly all, of the command,
both officers and men will re.recruit--at least,
all that the Colonel Wishes to take.

Water Department and the Unemployed
For The Prom)
Tho*Councils are now conaidering the pro
priety of making extravagant appropriations
to several 01 the Departments of the city (but
particularly to the Water Department,) nnder

Once". foam a knowledge of the fact, that
witbin a tivitdaya a contraet for the pumps to
be erected at Fairmount, involiing an expen
diture of. some eighteen or twenty thousand
dollars, has been given to a firm in the State
of Degaware ; thus . not only depriving our
poor machinists of the work, but sending it to
another Stati, which contains many disloyal
citizens. •
Councils should be cautions to whom the
expenditure of such large amounts of money
are entrusted. The present chief of the Water
Dipartment has been in office three years, yet
no one of the several works undertaken by
him has been finished. In all cases the 01.'-
timates have been exceeded to a fearful ex
tent. The mill-house at Fairmount may be
cited as one of many instances, the figures of
the estimate for the work having actually been
reversed, the amount appropriated for that
object to the present time being $71,000 instead
of $17,000, (the sum estimated,) and the
works still unfinished. Such enormous dis
crepancy really appears incredible, yet an in
spection of the published records of Courscils
for the past three years will show it to be the
fact,. Is it safe to entrust to parties capable of
making such gross errors, the, expenditure of
the amount proposed to be appropriated to the
Water Department—namely,l $441,500 3 At
the same rate of Increase as In the case above
cited, this sum would reach $1,841,055 before
the work proposed was completed.
In the cities of New York, Boston, Brook-

the consultation and advice of several ailment
civil eugineera was obtained, and much time
consumed in considering the diffilrent plane
proposed, before entering into a work of anch
magnitude and vital importanee to the citizens
as that of Its permanent water supply.

The Constitution of the COnfederate States is
amenable to the very objections urged by the
Sun, that its foundations are not laid in the
affections of the people ; indeed, It • bag been .
submitted to but, few of them for approval or
rejection. Tbo Secession movement did not
originate with the States,. nor the.people :of
the States; it was the work of disappointed
politicians and ravenous camp:followers, and,
we have the m.at irrefragable proof of this
from some of the most eminent of the states
,men of the South, when they attenipted to.
stem the current which eventually bore them
before it.
The eliiquent letters of the Hon. Jore. Cle•
moans, from North Alabama, might be quoted
in support et the asabrtion. He resisted Se.
cession as long as he was able, and until he
had exhausted every appeal to the reason and
patriotism of his fellow-citizens, but the will
spiracy was too deeply laid, audits tolls were
too Carefully spread—the Southern heart was
fired, and the incendiary blaze soon enwrapped
all the Cotton States: But the speech of the
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, delivered at
Milledgeville last November, while he was yaS,
the gallant champion of Stephen A. Douglas
for the Presidency, is full of the moat. con-
vincing allegations of the folly and madueatiof
Secession. It was in response to a previous
address of the Hon. Mr. Toombs, who has
been one of the oldest, most zealous, and most
talented of the champions of that casuistry
which seeks to teach the lesson that a State
hats the right to absolve its Federal allegiance;
whenever the decree of a constitutional majo.
shy is recorded against it, either in the matter
of a political election, the question of a tariff,
the navigation laws, or the fishing bounties,
Mr. Stephens showed that all of these were
the work of Southern default or Southern
sanction ; that the election of Mr. Lincoln could
have worked DO imagined evil to Southern in
stitutions, had the natural guardians of these
institutions preserved their seatis in Congress;
that the tariff, as it then existed, was mutually
the work of Massachusetts and South Caro.
lina ; and that the building up of our commer
cial marine, by giving the exclusive carrying
trade between our own ports to our own ves-
sels, and the creation of a valuable nursery
for seamen tor our navy, bad the sanction of
Southern Presidents and Southern statesmen,
in the palmy days of our republic.
The eloquent vindication of the policy of,'
our fathers, made by Mr. Stephens on the oe-i
casion to which have alluded, defined most;
clearly that our country. bad grown great and
powerful under.o.beneficerit Government, and.
that the commerce of the South,, the foundi-i
.tion of all its 'real prosperity, had been re-i

blessings and benefits have been 'iliiiirfered!
upon oaf common country by the mild-and'
paternal sway of the Federal Constitution ;l
nothing but disaster and - ruin can follow its!
overthrow.
No imagination, unless it is that of a ma.:
niao, can conjure up causes for a dissolution
of the Union in wrongs inflicted by the Go 4
vernmont, or in a want of sympathy, welkin*
injury,. between our geographical sections;
but everything of evil is to be apprebende4
from the fierce internal dissensions, which
have been batched from the machinations of
extremists of the South Carolina school; and
even then they have brought forth a brood
never anticipated. Mr. Calhominever enter;
twined these extreme notions, and his theorlee
have been terribly perverted by his ignoble
followers. The false prophets of the last de;•
c,ade, in carrying out their crazy plans, have
given ns the opportunity of showing that the
Government can be maintained and the Union
preserved in spite of opposition as long as the
voice of popular opinion is left free to combat
error. The coercive powers of the General
Government are not aggressive, but emir pro
tecting, and its very foundation presupposes
the power to guard itself from assault and
punish treason against its sovereignty. -We
have survived the perils of bad administra
lions, and passed through many crises of great
national danger; but never before has the
proud superstructure been so shaken as by
this unnatural and indefensible civil war. We
had, until within the past few months, the
largest protection of lite and property, and
the whole family of States was bound to
gether in fraternal affection, while the harmo
nious workings of our system contributed to
the mutual happiness of all. The wicked
ambition which divided the Charleston Con
vention, threw apples of discord in the path
ot, our national greatness, and since then the
country has bewailed that fatal step in sack
cloth and ashes. It will not answer for the
Baltimore Sun, then, to claim that public
opinion is opposed to the maintenance of the
Government or the preservation of the Union.
Life has been sacrificed; liberty imperilled;
character degraded, and property waisted, and
to these public opinion is opposed; but the
sacrifice, peril, degradation, and waste, are
not attributable to the Government, but to
those who have dared the attempt to overturn
that Government. When the names of the
active loaders in thisrebellion are forgotten,
or stand on the page of history only to warn
posterity of the fate of those who raise
traitorous hands against our Constitution, the
Government of the United States will be
reinvigorated and soaring on its high career,
the proudest monument of human intellect
and ennobling policy.
The great hope of the Confederates to bring
their rebellion to a successful close, by oh
taioing the recognition of foreign nations,
which could not maintain their manufacturior
population without the usual exportation of
cotton from the Gult States, is beginning to
desert them. The significant paragraph trom
the New Orleans Delia of last Thursday, ;re
ported by telegraph this morning, affirming
that the further persistence of the Confederate
'States in endeavoring to obtain the recogni
tion of nationality is useless, and proposing to
reins() all resident consuls of nations which do
not recognize similar officers of the Confede
rate States abroad, when taken in connection
with the recent Bows from Europe, indicates
that the world may get along for a time with
out our cotton, or at least Is not in such press

stock on hand was estimated at over 1,100,000
bales, which is only about 200,000 bales lets
than last year, and the correspondence of the
National Intelligencer states that England is

ment, and that Mr. Jordan, a commissioner
from Queen's Land, was lecturing in Liner.

now Australian colony as a cotton-growing

that the true interests and safety of the South
are involved in the continued solidarity of the
Union of the United States.

Events aro crowding upon each other lu

to indicate the conflict of arras on the Vir

now about to take place. The very air, the

witnessed the impressive scenes of the present

SPROUL EXPORT Or THE POSTMASTER GENERAL
POST OPPICR DAPAItTMENT, July 12, 1861.
.-The act of Congress in relation to the postal ser
vice, approved February 28, 1881, provides " that
whenever, in the opinion of the Postmaster Gene
ral, the postal service cannot be safely continued,
or the post office revenue collected, or the postal
lairs maintained on any post route, by reason of
any GARBO whatever, the Postmaster General is
hereby authorized to 'discontinue the postal setvim
on snob route or any part thereof, and any post
(iffiest thereon, till the same can be safely restored,
and shall report bisection to Congress." In orm
pllance with this act, and because of the obstruction
of the service by the ioaurgenta, I directed it to be
discontinued on the 27th of May, by an order here
with communicated, in the so called seceded States,
except in W'e'stern' Virginia; and have dace di
rected its diairontinnamce in West and Middle Ten
nessee.- The events which have rendered this
course necessary are BO well known . as to render
any explanation of niy action unnecessary. It
seems, indeed, more to be required than I thould
explain _why I suffered the service to continue so
long in those. States. The chief reason for this was,
that the mails alone afforded the means of diffusing
any correct, information
_among the people of the
South, and disabusing their minds of the prevalent
errors which tbe_oonspiretcle - nut availed mem ,
~,Aveset to organize the insurrection. .I felt assured
that the expressions of public sentiment which
would be evoked on the, first aot of war, if allowed
to reach the Piorle - of the - Sou‘h,would go far to,
.break down the conspiracy. The postal service of-'
forded tberiast xneane . to communicate to the peo
ple of the South the judgment which I was confi
dent the civilized world would pronounce against
the rebellion, when its real purpose was distinetly'
seen ; and although I knew that the instruments'
of the revointiona-y despotism temporarily estate-'
liehed there were doing everytblog is their power
to soppress all correct information, it was never- I
tbeless apparent that information of the most Lei-
portant character was disseminated through the
mails. Actuated by such _views; I was net only
disposed to continue the service in existence when
I 09100 into office, but even to restore it where it
hod been discontinued by my predecessor; and for
this purpose, at an early day, I rents apeotal agent
to the South to establish the principal offices
which bad been discontinued. But the insurrec-*
*tottery leaders comprehending, I believe, ae I did,
the effort of the mails upon their power, refused
then to allow those offices to be re established, and
more recently have exeluded the mails for all pot-,
lions of the country in which their military power
is established. White the military despotism;
which was organized in secret clubs by the von‘
epirators, is suffered to dominate over the people of
the South, there is no means of ascertaining
whether the policy I have pursued has been ad:
vantageous or not Bat I Dave no doubt that the
people of the South will vindioate it and thetzt
selves the first moment that they are liberated from
the ornel despotism which now prevails. The die ;
