New Poems.
Tbe poem called “ Thanatopsis,” written by "W.
C. Bryant, while yet in his teens, was published
forty-eight years ago. Now, close on the “ three
soore years and ten,” which the Psalmist named as
the ordinary limit of human existence, we find the
veteran still wooing the Mute, with the fervor and
sueoess of youth* A volume of 220 pages, just pub*
liebed by D. Appleton & 00., New York, bears the
title of “ Thirty Poems,” and Wm. Cullen Bryant
is their ftuthor. These compositions are generally
order of their composition—but nearly
all were written since 1652. Here are the delightful
lyrics, “ The Planting of the Apple Tree,” (which
lately appeared in the Atlantic Monthly,) “ The Snow
Storm,” “Robert of Lincoln.” (trom Putnam's Ma-
that true and tender blrth*day tribute called
“ The Twenty*seventh of March,” “ Tne Night
Journey of a River,” a delicate heart lyric, “The
Life that is,” the thoughtful “ Song of the Tower,”
\ and the patriotic lay entitled “ Oar Country 1 * Call.”
Three, longer effusions in this volume demand
separate consideration. These are a translation of
the Filth Book of Homei’s Odyssey, exeouted
in blank verse, with a simplicity of diction
better adapted to the direct force and rapidity of
Homer** narrative. This translation competes with
Opwpe?*i, which has neither direotaen nor BlttipU*
dity. Mr. Bryant sayi r * “ Home!, of course, wrote
Inl idiomatio Greek; and, in order to produce, either
nirue copy of the original, or an agreeable poem,
should have been translated into idiomatic English.”
This Mr. Bryant has done. Another poem, of more
than ordinary merit, is an idyl called “The Little
People of the Snow s ’—one of the best children’s
tales ever told in blank verse. Lastly, there is a
legendary.poem here, entitled “Sella,” which we
are disposed to consider as one of the best, if not
Vie best, of all itß great author’* productions. It
is the Btory of a maiden who finds the means of
visiting the depths of the sea, albeit a mortal, and
of revisiting her home at witl. Many countries re
verse the legend, and give a daughter of the sea the
power of living upon tne land. At last Sella, (the
heroine) is deprived of the means of pasiiug into
tbe world of waters unharmed, and the rest of her
life on earth she devotes to acts of benevolence:
Her days
Henceforth were given to quiet tasks of good
In tbe gieat world. -Men hearkened to her words,
And wondered at thetf and obeyed,
And saw bow besutiiul the lew or lore
Can make the oareß and tone of daily life.
Still nid Bte love to haunt the spring* and brooks,
At in her cheerlul ebildboud, am sne taught
The thill to pierce the toil-and meet the vein*
Of dear cold water winding underneath,
And call them forth to dajiignt. From afar
She bade nun bring the rivers on long row* .
Of pillared arches to the sultry town,
And on the hot air of the summer fling
The spray of dashing fountains. To relieve
Their weary bands, she showed them huw to tame
The lushing stream, aDd make him drive the wheel
That whirls the bumming millstoue and that wield*
The pondeious aledge. The water* of the oloud,
That drench the hillside in the time of rain*,
■Were gathered at her bidding into pool*,
And in the months of drought led forth again,
In glimmering rivulets, to reireah the vales,
Till the skv Qarkened with returning showers.
So passed her lile, a long and olameless life,
And iar and near her name was named with love
And reverence. Still she kept, as age came on,
Her stately presence; still her eyes looked forth
From under their calm Drows as brightly clear
As the transput ent wells by whioh she sat
So olt in childhood. Still she kept her fair
Unwrinkled ieatuies, though her looks were white.
A hundred times had summer since her.birth
Opened the water lily on the lakes,
So old traditions tell, before she died. .
A hundied cities mourned her, and her death
Saddened the pastoral valleys. By the brook,
That bickering ran beside the oottage door
Where she was born, they reared her monument.
Ere long the current parted anu flowed round
The marble base, forming a little isie,
And there the flowers that love the running stream,
Irie and orchis, and the cardinal flower,
Crowded and hung caressingly arouad
The stone engraved with Sulla’s honored name.
“Faith and Fancy ” is the title of * volume of
poems, by John Savage, author or the tragedy of
“ Sybil.” It does not contain a tithe of Mr. Sa
vage’s heart-litterings in Song, but there is sufficient
here to stamp him as a Poet. He has that eager
abundanee of expression, that rich affluence of lan
guage, that passionate swelling of thought, deter
mined to And melodious utterance which, in union,
make the poet. The grand lyrio, “ The Starry Flag,”
and that other spirit-swelling ballad of ’6l, entitled
«The Mutter of the North,” whfch have found
echoes in thousands of quick bosoms, lead off this
collection. There are several other war-lyrics, a
magnificent Irish ballad (“Shane’s Head”), and
the poem upon Washington’s portrait, • whioh, ori
ginally published In Harper’s Magazine, obtained
great praise at the time. This volume, we are glad
to say, has gone into a second edition 5 its publisher
IS James B, Kirker, New Vork, who announces a
library edition of. “ Sybil.” The characteristics of
Mr. Savage’s poems are earnestness, fire, melody,
truth. His is not a cold phlegmatic nature which
can oalmly set itself down to the mere making of
verses—it is impulsive, eager, productive, and will
utter what it thinks. The foUowlng lyric, which
bears the pall-mark of truth, most serve as a speci
men Of Mr. Savage’s domestic poetry;
HE WHITES FOB BREAD.
Time— ’tis midDight: Scene— a Garret:
Dramatis Persona —two:
Oue, witb wintry lock* of silver—
On«, with loelui of dark-brown hue.
And the old man aits Him calmly*
Speaking nothing, while his iaoe,
With it* quiet depth of meekness,
Sheds a radiance on the place.
But, God! could we unfold his soul,
And lead the epic there,
We would not wonder at his thought,
Nor whiteness of his hair*
Anon, he strangles to a sigh,
Some heart-ache upwaiu led;
Lett by a word
He’d break the chord
Of song that’s wildly flitting
Through the brain of him thaVs sitting,
Gushing out his very heart’s blood
On the page before him spread—
for through the night the young man kneads
His brain for their daily bread*
See, bis pen toils slower, slower $
Now he talks his oreams aloud;
And—he hastes to wrap'his fancy
In the pale expectant shroud:
For every sheet his brain* thoughts All,
Eaeh lme his keen wants crave,
But wrap and bind by piecemeal down
The youth to an early grave*
Those little characters he inks,
Are all grim Death’s abetters ;
He does not nobly die at once,
But sinks to his grave by letters*
And now his jaded thought would lag
To soothe bis aching head j
But he cannot wait,
For the empty plate
Reflects back his stare
For the loaf not there:
But the old man is there—O God I must he starve
While legions of other men’s fathers are fed!
The pang’s inspiration-! The madhouse and love
Are gambling tor him who is writing for bread,
He writes to make the readers laugh,
When his heart’s full with tears,
And ail the town seem happy when
His prose or verse appears.
They little know the loving heart
That beats in garret dim,
Or while they daily go to ’Change,
What change would be to him!
The Printer’s paid—The Paper’s paid—
The Pressman’s pressing, too 5
And while the Author’s left to starve,
The “ Devil” gets his due;
The Publisher in carriage rolls.
And sleeps on feather bed,
While he that gives
Them all life, lives
In a prison of thought and sorrow,
Never daring to think on the morrow 5
For the Bookseller’s note, which put off the pay,
Will not lighten a creditor’s tread,
Nor save from the landlord the few darling books
Of the Bondman feho writes for his bread*
A volume of “Poems, by Henry Peterson,” pub*
lished by Lippineott & Go*, deserves notice here, for
the author has the double claim of being a Philadel
phian, and a newspaper editor* It oontains many .
poems which deserve to live, but mixed up with them
we firtd several on merely political, mid some on
merely temporary subjects. The poems called mm*
sional ought perish with the occasion* Mr* Peterson,
in bis better efforts, is very successful—above all, he
writes excellent sonnets* Ityi in what we may oall
lyrics of the heart that his muse has found most
touching expression. Amocg the more ambitious
productions here is the thoughtful fragment, entitled
“The Vision;” the poem, in thespenurian stanza,
upon “Laurel Hill,” and the long poem, in three
cantos, called “The Rivali. 1 * This was written
many years ago, and sometimes exhibits faults Of
immaturity; but many parts of it are fine, particu
larly the shipwreck aod the abode on a desert island,
and, In this,* as in all his poetry, Mr. Peterson rare*
ly deviates into the nuisanoe of bad rhymes. Hav
ing eulogized a partieualar class of Mr.-Peterson’s
lyrics, we take leave to extract one of them:
MY LITTLE DAUGHTER.
I have a little daughter,
As sweet a eMld as e’er
Made sunshine in a father’s heart
With her soft and shining hair;
With her hair so soft and silky,
And her dark and wondering eye,
And her soul as pure and spotless
As a seraph’s in the sky.
I have a little daughter,
And she oooeth like a dove
When at the sun’s declining,
1 seek my home of love.
She eooeth like the stock- dove,
And round my neck she flings
The little arms that brush away
The day*time’s cruel ctoga.
I have a little daughter^®
And blessings on the hour
She first came to her father’s house
As a token of God’s power!
As a token of God’s power
To bless and soothe, and bind
Heart unto heart, strong unto weak,
And man to all mankind.
I have a little daughter,
And often prayers will rise,—
Dumb, silent pray ers, but full of tears.
To the o’erhanging skies,—
That she may never fall her part,
In dark temptation's strife;
And, more than all, ne’er feel a blight
Fall from her father’s life l
A fourth volume of poetry now on our table is
“ Pelayo ; an Epio of the Olden Moorish Time,” by
Elizabeth T. Porter Beach,lately published by D. Ap
pleton & Go. It is very neatly illustrated with nume
rous wood engravings from original designs, and Is
superbly printed on tinted paper. At this time of
day, however, an epic poem filling a lSmo volume
of 424 pages, has very little chance of being read.
Here are over 8,000 lines of verse, chiefly in the
ootwjiUMe mewuw, Ws taww *w° w# t

mob a competition, and would perform our critical
office as gently u pouible. But “ Pelayo,” takes

tuTse, frequently baa bad rhymes, for example:

Whoever wrltea rhymed veraea ought to attend to

centuries later, certain persons in European armies
derived the distinctive name ol “ grenadiers.” The
“ Wbippowil’s call,” in Spain seven hundred years
before the discovery of America, in whioh that bird
was found, is also wrong. The author of “ Pelayo ”
must learn—how to blot. Had the. poem before us
been Judioiously cut down to hall its present ex~
tent, it would, no doubt, have been much batter

PASSAGE' OF THE BIG BLACK,
Vicksburg, Feb. 6, lB64—Yesterday I went out
to Big Black to see McPherson’s army oorps cross
on tbe pontoon bridge. It was a magnificent sight.
They commenced crossing at IP. 01. At 4 o'clock
tbe train xeturned toward the city. Six miles from
tbe bridge we lound the rear of the moving column.
Tbe entire column was fourteen miles long. Hurl*
bul’a army corps, equally large, crossed on pontoon
bridges at Messenger’s Ford, five miles above tbe
bridge* General Thomas, with his body guard, was
moving between the columns. A large force was
sent up the Yazoo to Haines' Bluff, to move between
tbe Yazoo and Big Black, to prevent any flank
movement the en?my might attempt to cut off the
supply trains. The iron-clad gunboats will try to get
up to Grenada, on the Yallabusha, to co operate
with Grierson’s cavalry, 10,QW strong, wbo were to
staitfrom Memphis and Grand Junction. on Mon
day last. They will drive Forresvs command to
ward Canton, twenty-five miles north of Jackson,
where Bishop Polk is stationed with his rebel eon*
scripts.
There will be either a fight or a fast run from
there to Jackson, which place Is being again strongly
fortified With cotton bales. It is rumored that the
rebels will be able to bring into the field some 35,000
or 40,000 men. There may be tome hard fighting,
but conscripts cannot stand before veterans. I never
caw an army start on a march with men who looked
so full of fight as Sherman’s command. It is com
posed strictly of white men. The only negroes I
saw on the march were the body servants of-the on*
cere, and these entirely unarmed. Hawkins’ bri
gade of the Corps d’Afrique were sent up the Yazoo
a few days since to skirmish round while Oibaud’s
regiment was taking in some corn and forage. They
Were attacked by about fifty rebels in a skirt of the
woods, when they double-quicked it back to the guu-
Tke same may be said of the rebel pickets whom
we saw yesterday from the bridge. As soon as the
cavalry commenced crossing, they skedaddled alarm*
ingly to join their brethren in the hills in the dis
tance. At the same time we distinctly heard the
booming of artillery. I have since learned that it
was an attack upon the Yazoo fleet, a short distance
from Satartia, thirty miles above the mouth of the
river. It is reported that from twenty to twenty
five were killed and wounded, and the Platte Val
ley disabled. I will keep you posted in regard to
the lumots pertaining to the present expedition, as
well as the foots, as I receive them.
p. S.—The first skirmish occurred yesterday,
twenty miles distant from here. The rebels, under
Jackson, dashed through the advance line, wouad
ing two men and capturing apiece of artillery. The
bombardment of the fort at Liverpool, two miles
below Satartia, is still going on. One steamer just
retui ned. She lost two barges she had in tow, sent
for forage.
THE REPORTED VICTORY IN WEST VIR
GINIA.
Louisa, Ky., Feb. 17.—Colonel Ferguson, of the
16:h Virginia (rebel) Cavalry, has, for the last
month, been in the mountains of Wayne and Logan
! counties, Virginia, and from thence made raids -on
difleicDt p&rta of these counties. Some ten days
ago be captured General Scamraon and his staff,
and burred a steamboat on the Kanawha river, and
harassed the troops in West Virginia, stealing every
good horse that could be had in Wayne and Logan
counties. Several attempts have been made to dis
lodge them. A detachment was sent out from Loui
sa last week, a portion of the 13th Virginia co ope
rating, and scouted over the whole county of Wayae,
but the rock houses and almost impenetrable laurel
thickets &florded the rebels more secure protection
than casemated fortifications would have Deea. On
the 14th instant, at eight o’clock P. JQI., a pioked
force ol 400 men, under command of Colonel G. W.
Gallup, consisting of portions of the 14sh and 39th
Kentucky regiments, left Louisa, and mads a forced
march oi twenty-five miles, reaching the vicinity of
Colonel Ferguson’s command. Next morning a re
bel eoldier on picket was oaptured, and used as a
guide. The first intimation thp rebels had of the
presence of our men, was a summons to surrender
by Captain J. C. Collins and Wm Bartrom, who
were, with company B of the i4jh Kentucky, in the
advance. The enemy broke in confusion, and re
ceived the fire oi our tioops. The fight did not last
over three minutes, in which time the rebels had
sixteen killed and a large number wounded, beside,
sixty prisoners; eighty stand of arms and a large
number of horses, which they had stolen, were cap
tured, together with all their supplies of forage, sub
sistence, and ammunition.

THE WAR DT MEXICO.
Juarez and Vidaurri.
[Correßpond«nc6of tbe Would.] ;
Monwbbbv, Jan- 26—The troops consist of three
thousand and four hundred men, under the command .
of Julian Chlroga, who has just suppressed the
revolution which some rancher os of the cistrlct of !
Mat&moros and Monterey had commenced. He
succeeded in the time of fourteen days, only taking
with h*m four hundred men. The government of
Vidaurrl declares itself a bitter enemy of the
Freneh, and that It will oppose them with all its
power so soon aa they should enter this state ; but
they won’t do anything more for Juarez, declaring
that they have lost their confidence in him.
As reasons therefor they give the following: Pre
sident Juarez could easily have destroyed the
French army, when through a long time only eight
thousand French troops occupied Orizaba and
Jalappa. Also, that Puebla never would have
been taken if a strong force had been sent to relieve
the garrison; and the last point is, that the city of
Mexico was not defended, notwithstanding that se
veral hundred guns were in position. Now, the
men who accuse the President are just the ones who
never supported him, and for these reaso-ss There
are very few men in Mexico, as one of the
first Mexican citizens of Monterey told me yester
day, who would do anything for their country, if
not for the hope of gaining money or an important
position i men who stood true and uninterested
for their country, I could only find among the oom*
mon people; and these, for the most part, were in
fluenced by the thought of robbing or stealing- He
said to me it was a painful testimony of his country
which toe had to give me, but it was true, feo Go
vernor Yiduarrl seems to have always thought of
gaining the position as president, and therefore his
not disobedient but unpatriotic conduct against
Juarez. It is reliably stated that the Governors
Doblado, Ortega, and Yiduarrl, as it is said under
the direction ana instruction of Yiduarrl, have sent
a message to President Juarez, in whioh they ask
him to abdicate in favor of one of the three, because
hi* presidency had made the country unhappy, and
the war unsuccessful. President Juarez answered ia
the following way t ■■
“I have been eieoted President by the whole na
tion, and have been confirmed by the Congress;
I have made war two years against the French
invasion, and if unsuccessful* it ls not my fault. If
I would abdicate I could not do so aooording to the
laws of the Constitution, so long as toe Congress is
not together, and If I did it would only be to give
you the means for following your own ambitious
alms.” Of course this intercourse, question and an
swer, has been a private one; but you can hear it in
the streets. Another very, important circumstance
bat occurred. - The Archblchope of Mexico, Miohoa
can, and Guadalajara, and tho Biahopa of San Lula -
de Potosl and Oaxaoa have aent a proteat of six
columns against the regency whioh ia baaed en the
French bayonets, whioh appeared yesterday in all
the nubile papers. The meaning or this document la,
thatno power whatever haa a right to take posses
sion of the elerioal eatatea, and that they hereby give
a solemn protest against all the laws whioh are
given out foreign to this. They were also very muah
astonished to see that the Freneh.Mexioan Govern,
ment had acknowledged all the law* of Juarez; but
more than this, they must declare the French Go
vernment a barbaric one, ae they have taken away
the pensions of the poor nuns,’ whioh were granted
by Juarez, and that everybody ia excommunicated
who makes suoh laws againstthe church. The pub
lished answer Of the Franco-Mexican Government is
that all the bishops and others who have unde, signed
this protestdan never again fulfil the services of a
publio office; and, according to this, the archbishop
and the clergy ate excluded from the regenoy. My
opinion, which I have formed after a short residence
in this country, is given as follows: The people,
rioh and poor, without exception, are again* the
French Government. The majority of the clerua
and the rich classes are against the liberal party of
Juarez, and are in a desolate position. The common
olaases are strongly opposed to Juarez, except the
State of Nuevo Leon, where also a great party for
Vidaurri exists. The protest of the clerus has
brought many people hack to Juarez; aud if Vi*
daurrl sees that he cannot succeed alone, I think he
will return fully to the party of Juarez. The mili
tsry operations are transferred to the western part
Of the country, Zacatecas being about six hundred
milea from the city of Mexico. Through this move
ment the French troops are still further distant from
their base of supplies; and the guerilla war near
Mexico, San Lula de Potosi, and Vera Gruz will be
very troublesome/or them.
An English Opinion op thb Sanitary Com

compliment to our noble Sanitary Commission:
“In every way we cannot help thinking the ex
istence and success of this commission is most cred

NIAXIMILIAN AND THE MEXICAN THRONE.
A. Bepeal Agitation in. Ireland.
The foreign mails by the A&laa arrived here jree
teiday morning, bringing date* to the 6th lnit.
At the opening of the Brltleh Parliament, on the
4th inet., a long and animated dehate took plaee In
regard to the foreign policy of England. Eord Derby
led ofl the Opposition with a vehement attack upon
Earl Buieell, whore offloial course he examined
ciiticallT and denounced unstintedly,declaring loti
it wuula be difficult to find a country With Whose in*
texnalaff&ira the British Governm*nV hat not in*
terfciea, and adding that England hat not now a
single friend on the continent, and that “ cer menaces
aie disregarded, her magniloquent langurge ridi
culed. anu her remoastranoes treated with con-
temptuous indifference by the smaller as well as by
the greater Powers.'*
Earl Bussell replied With dignity and good temper
in defence of hi* policy. In relation to American
affairs he said *.
“ The noble Eml says that we differed with
France about the recognition of the Southern States;
but no proposal was ever made by us on thafcsub
ject. There was a proposal, indeed, made for media*
tlon, in order to ieooncile the Southern States with
the Northern States, and if it had been deemed pro
per to propose suoh a mediation, it might have led
ultimately to a proposal for the recognition of the
Southern Stalest It waa not, however, eoh>idered
advisable to make such a proposal, it being thought
that if France made the proposal alone there would
be a much better chance or reconciliation than if It
were a joint proposal. [ Hear, hear.] I» believe
that the whole country approved of the resolution
to to hioh her Majesty ’ s Government came upon that
question.” * *
In referenda to the Danish question, after minutely
detcribing the reasons for negotiating the treaty of
1662, to settle the succession of the Dsoiih crown,
and sketching the present state of the dispute be
tween Germany and Denmark, he characterized the
anxiety of Austria and Prussia to rush into war as
something inexplicable and melancholy, and de*
dared that the British Government had nof advised
Denmark to yield anything it was not right she
should yield, nor was England expeoted to give Den
mark any material aid.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Disraeli expressed
his legist at the strange emission qT any referenoa
to America in the Queen's speeoh. remarking that
“it would have been satisfactory to know whether
the principle of neutrality was still recognized, and
whether, during the recess, it had been Impartially
observed andstiiotly enforced.”
Lord Palmerston followed, but avoided the
question.
Duriigthe course of the whole debate the oppo
sition dwelt upon the discourtesy of England to
wards France, as exhibited in her refusal to join
the proposed European Congress, but the answer
wae ready when Earl Rußsell spoke. He contended
that the general policy of England fully approved
the resolution of the Government to remain neutral -
In the coDfiiot. As to the plan of a Congress, the
Polish and Italian questions at once prevented
Austria and Russia from takiog any part iu the pro
ceeding, and without the co-operation of the great
Powers the scheme must have failed. Her Ma
jesty’* Government had given the emperor of the
French every credit for bis motives j but England
waa quite justified In considering whether the Con
gress was likely to promote the peace of Europe or
not. In this question, as well aa on the war In
Amelias, England bad a right to pursue its own
policy and consider its own interests.
MAXIMILIAN AND THE MEXICAN THBOSE.
The Monilcur directs special attention to its pri
vate correspondence from Mexioo, and to the follow
ing extraot in that correspondence from a letter writ
ten by the Archduke Maximilian to Gen. A'monte,
Oh the 4tb of last November, “the importance of
which,” cays the official journal, “will be fully re
cognized : ”
“ Be certain, my dear general, that I shall not hesi
tate in any manner y my resolution is thoroughly
formed, and since my speech of the 3d of October it
is proclaimed in the face of Mexico and of the world;
and before assuming the reins or government I mere
ly await the accomplishment of the conditions which
not only my own dignity, but, above all, the interest
of yoqr country, compelled me to make. I have al
ready given you these assurances in nay letter of the
9th Ootober, and I gladly renew them here. You
can make whatever use of my letter you think fit,
in order to dispel any doubtß that may still exist in
Mexico.”
The correspondent of the Monitcur announces that
a deputation was to leave Vera Cruz on the 15th
January for the purpose of proceeding to Miramor,
to present to the Archduke the ratification by the
provieceß of the vote ol the Assembly J)Z Notables,
It would he likely to arrive in France about the 14th
cf February. He also says that the adhesion of Da
hl ado, Uraga, Etchegaray, and several other Jurist
leaders may be expected.
SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN AND HUNGARY.
The German papers give the text of an appeal ad
dressed to the Hungarian regiments of the Austrian
army in Holstein, fhe following is an extract:
The Polish leaders in the Reichrath at Vienna
and elsewhere—Grocholski, Langiewioz, and so
forth—have declared that the cause of Sohleswig-
Holeiein is the cause of Poland. You, Hungari
ans, will certainly not stand back in showing simi
lar sympathy. For centuries you have struggled
for your own right. Ours, too, is a struggle of na
tionality, of self government, on the soli of the
duchies. We shall not suffer Germany to become
the victim of a first partition. * * * Hunga
rians I You are sure to sympathize with the fate of
those who ate bowed down under a foreign yoke,
robbed of their nationality, forced into the iron
straighbwaiitooat of an unnatural centralization.
* * * Let our common watchword be: ‘ For your
freedom, and for our own.’ Long live Hungary!
Long live Germany with Schleswig-Holstein!”
Tbe appeal is printed in Magyar and German. It
is signed by 11 The Friends of German Freedom and
Union,” and proceeds, according to the Berlin Volks
zeitung, from the pen of Karl Blind. He 1b also the
author of an appeal to the Polish regiments. The
Conservative papers complain of tbe u corruption
and demoralization ” which it is thus attempted to
1 introduce into the Austrian army, while the Liberal
! organs approve of this propaganda.
i THE DANISH*, PRUSSIAN, AND AUSTRIAN ARMIES—
I GEN. MEZA AND OEN. WRANGBL.
Copenhagen* Jan. 86.— Among tne many who
fttttAOttd Attention in the late Danish campaign.
honoraDle prominence was accorded to General
Christian Julius de Meza, then a brigadier, now
commander-in-chief. The general to whose gal
lantry and military skill tne fate of Denmark la
entrusted is descended from a family of Spanish
Jews, who settled In the country about a hundred
yeaiß ago. Although more than seventy yearawf
age, he retains many oi the qualities which, with
the bulk of mankind, are the happy privilege of
youth, and become dimmed long before tne green old
age he en joj l. In this, as in every other respect, be
is a worthy opponent of Baron Wrangel, the Prus
sian general, who is nearly an octogenarian, but
was never seen in a cloak, and will head a charge
with something like the fire he exhibited at W aterloo.
General Meza is a politician of the old school, vio
lently opposed to the party in power, and after the
rout of the Germans, would like nothing better than
the defeat of Herr Hall and the men who ruled the
country for twelve years. His political opinions, as
well as his military talents, are shared in an emi
nent degree by Colonel Kaufmann, the chief of his
staff. Kauffman, a Holsteiner by birth, has been in
the civil and military service of the kingdom for
many years, and proved himself a cool and intelli
gent offioer in the war of 1848. Of late he haa acted
in various capacities, representing his Government
in the Diet at one lime, and then submitting to be
sent to Kiel, to coerce the Uuivereity, and frighten
piofeesorc into loyalty. But this is not the most
glorious part of his career. '
The tioops at the disposal of the gallant Twins, as
they ate oalled here, cannot be well estimated above
40,000 or 45,000 men. More, It is true, are being en
listed or are already in course of formation; But, in
order to make up for the gaps expected to ooour
before long, a reserve—differently given at from
8 000 to 10,000 men—will be kept in the rear, and ad
vanced only in proportion to losses in the front.
These troops are opposed by 60,000 Prussians and
half aB many Austrians, to which are to bo imme
diately added 10,000 more Prueslans. However, the
Dannewerke being what It is, it will require the
utmost gallantry on the part of the invading fproe to
carry one of the few points at all accessible. A
regular siege, which would be a safe but wearisome
operation, is evidently not intended—the allied
armies having no heavy guns with them* In the
tme old style of “Father "Wrangell a man whose
name ii not easily forgotten In a country which haa
once made hia acquaintance, the work* are to be car
ried. it la eald, by assault, or rather aerie* of assault*.
Independent of hi* particular notion* of strategy,
and the value of human life, delay in the present in*
stance would be anything but agreeable, one may
well imagine, to his king.
SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN*
The Duchy ol Schleswig, comprising within its
limits the southern portion of the peninsula of Jut
land, being separated from the kingdom of Jutland
proper on the north by the Kongo river. Sohleswlg
la divided from Holstein on the south by the river
Eider and the great Holstein canal. On the east
Schleswig has the Baltic sea and the Little Belt, in
the latter of which the Duchy comprises the islsnd
of Alsen. West of Schleswig is the North sea,
which contains in the immediate neighborhood of
the Duchy the islands of Romoe, Sylp, Fohr, Peli
vorm, Nostrand, and others of lesser note. The
principal towns of Sohleswlg are Sohleswlg, Flens
burg, Husum, Apenrade, Haderaleben, and Chrla
tianfield. The town of Sohleswlg is a seaport, and
the capital of the Dnohy. It 1s built on the western
termination of the river Schley, and contains aDout
thirteen thousand Inhabitants. The harbor of
Sohleswlg, although improved of late years, Is navi
gable for small veaaels only. Sohleswlg Is a very
anoient town, having existed as such in the ninth
century. Tbe town was formerly a member of the
Hanseatic League. Near to tbe town of Schleswig
stand 8 the old castle of Gottorp, the realdenoe of
the Dnkes of Holitein-Gottorp, and the cradle of
that race, the descendants of which now claim to
rule in the territory. Sohleswlg oooupiea the lati
tude 54 3111 north, and longitude 3Si 4$ east.
The Duchy of Holstein ilea both in Germany and
Denmark. The territory ol Holstein situated south
of Schleswig Is in the kingdom of Denmark, while
that portion which is north of Hanover and Meek
lenberg is in Germany. Holstein is bounded on tne
east by tbe Baltio, and on the west by the North
Sea. The area of Holstein is level ground, with the
exception of a few insignificant hills on the east.
On the south and wc«t its extensive pasture lMds
are secured against inundations of the sea by a net
work of deep dykes, the existence of whloh renders
tbe advance of an army on that side a very difficult
and dangerous undertaking. The Duchy contains
a great number of. lakes. The ohief of these is the
Plon.ee, which is supplied by the watera of the
rivers Eider, Elbe, and their eonfluenw. jne c»pi

ordeis were immediately given to the Austrian
troops, near Bendtburg, to prepare for the crossing
ol the Eider on tbe following morning. During all
the day and tbe succeeding night the troops were
concentrated in the Immediate neighborhood of
Bendiburg, so as to cross the stream with the early
morning, and, If possible, make hasty march on the

Work. Between the Orowa-Work and the horn
work is a small esplanade;-with a short row of
houses Along one side of it. a
There waa therefore no possibility of & strong
oppuilton from the Danes, The only thing they
could have done would have been to keep up a fire
of musketry for some time against the adv&oolng
coiumn from behind the palisades; which could only
have lasted a few minutes, and would simply have
cost the Uvea ol a few brave men. It was generally
expected that the Danes would have exchanged a
lew shots with the advancing party, but they did
not do so, because, as the Austrians they knew
u>at mmures bad been token to reeure tftem rtr
prisoners, 11 only a short defence of the position had
been made.
Aboutaeven o’olook the Austrian oommaudeoin
chief, Field Marshal Gablenz, dismounted at the
saUy-port opposite tne homework on the Holstein
side, in order to head the column marching oa the
Crown-work. On the walls, yet within musketshot,
many persona were out to witness whatever might
occur, and among thtae were several Saxon officers
ALdfioldien, who had withdrawn from their guard
posts on the bridge. About a thousand paces in ad
vance, towards the west, is the railway bridge, and
as theadvanoedguaid(Styrianß,of the Belgian regi
ment), marched on the railway embankmeut towards
it, the Austiian general wasinformed that the wood
work on the other side had been mined by tho Danee
with a charge of 600 pounds of powder. The mo
ment was somewhat optical, for had suoh a mine
bedtr sprung, not only the troops mwohlug on the
bridge, but those In the adjacent streets amt roads
might hare suffered severe loss, the iutuiiaitioo,
however, proved to be erroneous, and the advance
continued, jagers being stationed at a breastwork
•towards the left. Half of the Nostez Brigade march-
ed on tbe right towards tbe railway bridge. This
brigade consist of the Infantry, termed the Belgians,
under Col. Duke William of Wurienberg. The ao>
tual storming coiumn adva: oed,along the road
towards the palisades of the Crown- work hart
ingat their head a company of Styriana (Hessian
Infantry, one of the beat renowned regiments in the
Austrian army), and then came some engineers or
pioneers, bearing tools with which to hew down the
palisades, a great number of jagers, and a squadron
of hussars for the pursuit of the withdrawing
Danes, who were now galloping up and down the
opposite bank. As the right column orossing the
bridge proceeded at storming pace towards the
bridge of the Crown-work, two shots were tired frost
behind the palisades, which the jagers could only
fetbiy ireply to, &S they SAW no foe before thea* ; but,
quick as lightxuDg, some Danish dragoons sped away
from a position in whioh they had been concealed.
Whilst tbe men of the Hessian infantry pressed
into the Grown-work from the rear, the regular
storming column rushed tnrough the gate in the
palisade, which was quickly demolished, and then
began the hewing down of the palisade itself, bo that
in less than a quarter of an hour the whole opera
tion was completed, and the troops could continue
their march without molestation. The advanced
troops were quickly sent forward, and under their
protection a brigade of Austrians advanced in the
diiectlon of Dannewerke.
About half past eight Field Marshal Wrangel ap
peared with the Prussian princes and a numerous
staff', and, contrary to his usual he did not ha
rangue the troops—probably because the Styrians
and Austrian and Hungarian hussars would have
had some difficulty in understanding his German.
Thus, thanks to railways, 25,000- troops, which
eight days since were peacefully quartered in the
heart of Austiia, found themselves face to face with
the enemy, and as fresh as though they had ouly
just lelt their barracks, and had marched a few miles
for of exeroiße.
During the remainder of the morning the Aus
trians marched through the town in endlea* columas,
and passed onward to the north.
DESTRUCTION OP A BRITISH VESSEL BY THIS
ALABAMA,
From the Straits Times, Dec. 20.]
Captain Pike, of the British ship Martabaa, burnt
by the Alabama, in compliance with our request, has
rent the following statement of the aireumßtanees
attending the destruction of his vessel. The state
ment speaks for itself; and, ai we do not wish to i>o
hurried into an expression of opinion on a subject
which is sure to arrest the attention of every court
in. Europe, we must delay our comments till we
are well infoimed ai to the legal bearings of the
question:
I left Amherst on the 22d inat. for Singapore,
having on board a cargo consisting of 12,354 bags of .
rice* On the 24th Inst., at 2P. M., Pulo Plsang and
the Carimons plainly in sight from the deck, made
a steamer steering to the north, which, upon
making out the Martaban, altered her course di
rectly for us, and, when within one mile, set the
Confederate flag, and fired a gun across our bows*
In answer I immediately set the Britishensign at the
peak, and hove to. On nearing the Martaban, an
armed boat’s crew, with an officer* left the steamer*
and came alongside j the officer, when coming on
board, demanded to see the ship's papers, which he
immediately did. The papers were, register, port
clearance, and bill of lading.
Upon examination, the officer informed me that
they were not satisfactory, and that he should take
charge until he could communicate with bis com
mander, Capt. Semmee, of the Alabama; calling
two armed men, one of whom was stationed on the
forecastle, the other on the poop, he sent the boat
back with a message to Captain Semmes, who at
once came on hoard the Martaban, and demanded to
see my pspetß. I handed him the register, which ho
examined. (The register was a bona fide, British
register on parchment, issued by the proper British
authorities in Moulmein.) After examining this
document, Captain Semmes said to me “that he
was not to be humbugged by any false papfere—that
1 ought to have had a certificate that the transfer
was legal, and that he should burn my ship.” Upon
this I said, “that the documents I held were legal,
and sufficient proof of my nationality, and pro
tested against his burning the vessel.”
To this he paid not the slightest attention, but
went on deck and said to his officer, “ Sir, you will
burn this vessel.'’ He then returned on board the
Alabama. The first lieutenant then came on board
the Martaban and took oharge, hauled down, the
English flag that was flying at the peak, let go an
chor, clewed Up sai s, and made preparations for set
ting the vessel on fire, staving in the cabin skylights
to make a good draft. In the meantime my crew*
by bis orders, had hoisted out mv ship’s boat and
gone on board the Alabama, leaving myself and offi
cers on board, who were ordered to pack up a few
clothes, giving us half an hour to do so, and follow
them. 1 was allowed two small trunks, my officers
each a small bag, armed men in the cabin watching
the packing. I was assured by the first lieutenant
that the contents of my two trunks would be respect
ed, but my two chronometers, and all my nautioal
instruments were taken from me. We were then
taken on board the Alabama, and immediately after
the Martaban waa set on fire.
The Alabama then proceeded up the Straits, ana
at midnight came to anchor five miles off the town
of Malacca. Steam was kept up all night. At day
break, I was called upon to open my trunks, which
were searched by an officer and the master-at*arms ;
a bag containing four hundred rupees was taken
from me, and also a night glass and part of my pri
vate papers. Myofficera’ bags were searched in the
same manner, we were then required to sign our
parole not to serve against the Confederate States
until exchanged. We were put on board the Ala
bama’s boat (my ship’s boat having been broken
while towing), and landed at Malacca. I had passed
my examination as British shipmaster at Moulmein,
and held my ceitificate of competency, as also my
chief officer. On the part of seif, officers, and crew,
I beg to express my sincere gratitude for the kind
ness and friendly treatment Bhown us by the autho
rities and European inhabitants of Malacca, who
ministered to our every want In the moat generous
manner, and procured us passage in a native brig to
Singapore, they defraying the entire expense, we
being entirely destitute.
ANOTHER “ RBPBAL n AGITATION IN IRELAND.

insn named Candy, who hai surrendered hiintelf f’
the pollee at Q.ueenßtown, on the allegation of
baving committed murder: “ Robert Candy, ol St.
George’s-in-the-Eaet, LondOD, states that la the
month of June, 1863, at 3 P, High street, Wanping,
in Middlesex, (the landlord’s name was Smithson,)
be murdered a man named "William Richardson,
who wa» mate of tbe British brig Retini. by y*b*
bine him. with a dagger knife in the heart. This
took place about seven o’clock in the evening.
There was no one present at the occurrence; w wae
in the kitchen underneath the shop. I placed tne
body in a coal cellar underneatb tfie street, and !
covered it with lumber, such as old rag», dirt, and
the bottoms of chairs. I cannot say there was any
one in the house at the time, but I was speaking to
Mrs. Smithson in about half an hour alter the
murder, and she asked me wnere Richardson
(the deceased) was, and I said in reply that
he bad gone out. It was through jealousy
and revenge I murdered him, My reason for coming
forward to make this statement to the police is be
cause I have been uneasy in my mind since tbe oc
currence, wbicb has increased lately. The deceased
and I bad been shipmates, and be had been harsh to
me In his condnct. He was the means of getting me
in prison for three and a half days In Porto Rico,
West Indies. I now oomeforward to give myself up
for committing the said murder. Up to the time of
my leaving London, which was in three or four days
after the murder, it had not been discovered, to my
knowledge.”
