Paul stood upon Mara’ bill, Before Mm all tbe mightiest of Greece; Statesman and warrior, woman, priest, and peasant, Gazed there, and held their pease. Paul stood upon Mars’ hill; Theseus’ temple lay beneath Ms feet; Around him, spread Athena’s populous oity, Crowd! pouring from each street. Before him rose the Acropolis; The Wingless Vlotory * in the morning gleam; The Propylae temple, and, above, resplendent, ' The Parthenon ehone supreme. Unequalled stood the Parthenon; Most beauteous temple, grandest of all time; In dazzling marbles, gold, and sculptures, glorious, The Parthenon stood sublime; And high o’er all, in heaven, Gleamed in tbe air, stern Pallas’ burnished helm; The lightnings of her spear-point shot afar, To awe and overwhelm. Spear-point and helm were, naught, To the austere effulgenoy displayed Upon her silver visage, Phidias-wrought; Athena’s Awful Maid l Paul Stood upon Mars’ hill, Bowed down by stripes and suffering, prisqn-wom ; Yet through hie solemn features gleamed the light— Lififct of a better morn. - Amsfijd, awe-struok, they gazed, NOT, understood the liight that o’ershone all; •Twas Phidias’ hand gave Pallas her expression; GBSATXB THAN PHIDIAS, Paul! * Them Paul stretched forth Ms hand: "Ye men of Athens, I find In all things Ye ere too superstitious”—through each heart, Deep, piercing, Ms voice tinge. “UNTO THE UNKNOWN GOB Ye raise an altar; Him, whom therefore you Thus ignorantly woreMp, I declare The only God and true." Then looking at the Parthenon, ** Be dwelleth not In temples made with hands, Tbe God who made the-world, the Lord of heaven And earth, of sea and lands.” And pointing high to Pallas, "He Is not, then, like silver, graven by art, Like gold, nor unto stone—for we are all His offspring near his heart. " so may you seek the Lord, If haply you feel after Him, and find He is not far from every one of us Who seeks with earnest mlnd.”j Forgotten were the stripes, The wearying jouraeylngs, imprisonment; - His every lineament glowed with light divine, On Ms high theme intent. Ob, Time, thou common slave. Thou pander to the instincts of the base, Thou hast destroyed the Parthenon; Phidias’ work Nomore this earth shall grace. Paul’i word thou eanst not mar; Bis mighty presence liDgers yet argjmd; It lives, and moves, and hath Its being here, This consecrated ground! Paul stands upon Mars’ bill I Pilgrims, from age to age, earth’s furthest shore, Ponder the lesson he so deeply taught, Admire, revere, adore. Joseph William Miller. » The beautiful temple of Kike Avteros, on the brow of tbe Acropolis. . HEW YORK. Special Correspondence of The Press.] New Yoke, March 29,1361. AN IMMINENT CATASTROPHE, New Yorkers have just been aroused to the ap prehension of a ganger which la not pleasant to con template. Damocles like, they have been sitting beneath impending ruin ;'but Damocles, with the sword suspended above Ms head by a single hair, was safer than we are at this very moment. At Ellis’ Island, wMch lies in the harbor, some five hundred tons of powder are stored. A spark dropped into this vast magazine would blow the oity to atoms. Jersey City and Brooklyn would share the same fate. Such an explosion would mean annlMla f lon, nothing less. And people are oommenoing to grow fidgety upon the subject. The pubUc prints are demanding the removal of the powder to some more distant locality; but as yet no one seems to be stirring In the matter. Perhaps no one ever will. There is a certain vis inertia about our official! which Is not easily overcome, and even the entire convey ing force of the press is not always effective In such cases. The Island faces the lower portion of the dtp, which, lying as it were In a basin of hills, could not stand for an inatant the effeot of a conclusion so frightful - as that which would necessarily result from the ignition of so great a quantity of powder. What renders the danger moro imminent la the fact that ammunition Is heingaontlnually shipped thence, and'even with careful handling powder Is seldom safe. Captain Wise, of the Bureau of Ordnance, re marks In his late report: -‘The proximity of these great magazines to the seaooast, and to the, cities near whloh they are respectively located—especially those of Portsmouth, Boston, and New York—ls a subject worthy of the most serious consideration.” He further remarke that, even In times of peace, there is always danger of an exploaion, and that the hazard in times of war, when oonstant recourse is had to the magazines, is proportionally increased. A few days will determine whether the warning is to be heeded or alighted. DBPABTUBB 07 A COLORED REGIMENT. Another colored regiment—the 28th United States —has left this city for the rendezvous of tile Burn side expedition at Annapolis. It had been Intended that the regiment should parsde through the dtp and receive its colors on Saturday last, but the storm preventing, it was taken directly on board the steamer Warrior. John Jay, Hiq., presented the colors on behalf of the lady donors. The colored tioops have no reason to oomplain of their treat ment at the hands of our loyal citizens. Edible dainties and Union rosettes have been showered upon them, and the brave fellows marohed with hearts as light as they were etout. Last July these very men were in danger of torture and death at the hands of the hy.street brutes. Now, nothing but ohcers and kindnesses have met them. Verily the world moves. THE TBADE SALE. The New York trade sale of books oommenoed on Tuesdsy, and will continue until Wednesday, April 6, when the invoices of stereotype plates from the houses of Lindsay 8c Blakiston, and W. P. Taggart, of Philadelphia, and W. H. Appleton, of New York, will be disposed of. The invoice# are all large, and cannot fall to command large prices. Philadelphia, Boston, Springfield, New Bedford, Burilngtoiir Hartford, Troy, Salem, Auburn, and the' the Western oitles are represented in the catalogue, as well ai the, well-kapwn house of Blaokie & Son, London. ' OITV ITEMS. The “ friends” have been comparatively quiet since my laet communication, and but few of “the innocent people” have exhibitea any marked desire for (heading blood or hammering their wives to pieces. On Friday, however, a playful attempt was made by a score or so of the dear, delightful crea tures, to riddle a policeman. It appears that a squad of the outraged and downtrodden people were in the habit of congregating at an up-town oomer, for the purpose of holding social intercourse, and insulting the sewing-girls who passed their trystlng-spot, after the daps’labor. A polloeman, who had orders from a brutal Blaek Republican commissioner to interfere with the right of free speech and the pursuit of happiness under the Constitution, protested against the praetice, and attempted to drag off the ring leader. He was, thereupon, remonstrated with, and shot at above twenty times, fortunately, Without effect. A citizen who was looking on, was seriously wounded. Three of the innocent creatures, seized upon under the moat horrible cir cumstances of brutality, now lie in a black Republi can station house.

STUYVESANT. The Admissibility of Colored Witnesses. Sylvester Deeds, quartermaster sergeant lstM. S, M. Battery, charged with murder, haa been on trial St Jefferson City before a general court mar tial, convened by Speaial Orders No. 22, Headquar ters District of Missouri. The court found the aeeueed “not guilty” as charged, but guilty of murder In the seoond degree, and sentenced him to be dishonorably discharged from the service, and to be confined at hard labor for ten years. ' . . This finding and sentence have been set aside by the judge advocate of the district, Captain A. R. Conklin, for the reason that one of the defendant’s witnesses- was excluded on the ground of being a person of color. In the decision. Captain Conklin Is, we learn, fully sustained by Msjor Dunn, the judge advocate at the department headquarters. Tbetfollowing Is Oapt. Conklin’s revie w of the oase: The proceeding! in this esse stb disapproved. Upon the part of the defence, one Lucy Jack was Introduced as a witness, and upon a member object ing to her. competence upon the ground that she was a negro, her evidence was ruled out by the court. The ruling of the court was wrong. It Is a general rule of evidence that all persons are oompetent witnesses who ate capable of understanding, and may be presumed to feel the obligations of an oath. Heretofore the extreme senaltiveness of the Ameri can mind has been so far biased as to forestall a judicial deoition on this point, and precluded the opportunity for full action upon the part of courts. In the case of Dr. Feltons, assistant sur geon In tee army, tried at Fort Niagara, the question arose, the wttuesa was admitted, and the action of the court approved. It may be argued that tbe local statutes of Missouri exclude the witness. This is true, so far as her local courts are concerned. The -reviewing authority is not aware of any Federal statute wMoh renders a negro incompetent ac a witness, but, on the contrary, the praetleeof the Federal courts reoognlzes them as competent. A court-martial and military commis sion are Federal courts, and whenever the looal statutes conflict with the general or Federal law* and rules, the former must bend or give wav to the letter. The excluding of the testimony of this wit ness throws a doubt over the whole proceedings in this ease, and the prisoner is entitled to the bene fit of that doubt. It is Impossible to approve pro ceedings, unless It clearly appears from the record that the prisoner hod a fair trial, and every oppor tunity allowed him to make a fuU and legitimate defence. The prisoner will be released from eon- Qnement and arrest, and relumed to duty. THE WAR. The State of Operations near Jacksonville, Florida* [Special Correspondence of The Press. ] • Jacksonville, March IS, 1384. CLEANING UP THE TOWN. Since the rebels oeased to threaten an attack upon this place, and the completion of our fortifications, military affairs have remained very quiet. Large fatigue parties, mostly colored troops, have been en gaged in cleaning up the town. Under the auspices of different leaders, nearly half the town had, at different times, been burned, and the amount of rub bish left on the ground Is immense. The buildings were mostly brick, and such material aa remains un injured 1* sorted out, and put In a pile by itself; the balance Is oarted off, and deposited where it will do the most good at the landing. Streets, vacant lots, and even the door yards of: private residences, are receiving the attention of these fatigue parties.

Deserters are coming Into our lines nearly every 'day, but they are mostly or Northern birth, and were pressed Into the rebel service. They report that the civilians of this vicinity, who took the oath of allegiance during the few days of our triumph here, are now suffering severely from the rebel rule. It Is hard that our commanders are unable to fulfil the promises which were freely'made, and as con fidingly aeceptod. - SHOT AND'HUNQ. The monotony wbloh has prevailed along our pioket line for a week past, haa been broken by the capture of three of our soldiers, one of them a coloied man. The two whites are held as prisoners of war, the colored man was dressed in citizen’s slothes, and has been both shot and hung as a spy. He was shot in attempting to make Ms escape, and waa then brought Into” the rebel oamp and hung. That was treating Mm as a soldier with a vengeance. OS AN OB AND SILVER SPRINGS. On the 14th Instant a small stern-wheel steamboat, called the Sumpter, loaded with cotton and turpen tine, was captured on the Oclawaka river," above Falatka, at the head of navigation. This stream Is narrow, rune very swift, and la formed by the waters of Orange and Silver Springs, In Marlon county. These springs are among the largest, deepest, purest, and most transparent In the world. Small pebbles can be ceen In water that is thirty feet deep. Thie boat was found near the junction of the waters of the two springs. Two other boats— the Hetty and Reliance—are known to be concealed somewhere on the headwaters of the St. Johns, and a gunboat has gone In search of them. FORWARD ! Col. Barton haa fortified Paletkee, and Ms posi tion may be considered secure. But this poliey of scattering our forces does not look like advancing upon the enemy, and occupying the interior of Florida. Nevertheless, appearances istdleate a for ward movement, and that a bloody fight may take place in a few days. We have some heavy artillery on hand, which, at the rebel forces are now posted, can be used to advantage. Gen. Seymour Is yet in oommand, and is anxious, no doubt, to retrieve tbe Olustee disaster, drive baek the insolent foe, and strike a blow that will liberate Florida. Suoh are our facilities for transportation, that all our foroes cGUId be concentrated in a night, and the enemy know nolMng of it. Unless the programme should be changed you may look for stirring news In a few day*. . VIDI. THB ESCAPE 07 THE PRIVATEER VLORIDA—OOM % - - 'pßTmom MADDBH PREBLE’S BBFO&T. Tbe following is tbe report in full made by .Com mander Preble to the Navy Department, & brie! ab stract of which by telegraph was printed on Tues day : United States Sloop* or* War St. Louis, Funchal Roads, Madeira, March l, 1864—1# A. M. Sir : The Florida has suooeeded in getting to sea. I shall follow at once, though hopeless of catching her out of port. Nelson said the want of frigates in his squadron would be found impressed on.his heart. I am sure the want of steam will be found engraven on mice. Had the St. liOUis beente steamer I would have anchored alongside of her, and, unrestricted by the twenty> four hour rule, my old foe could not have escaped me. The Governor, true to his declared in> tention, would only fellow her to take on board twenty tons of coal—sufficient to take her to the nearest port. Her commander plead for sixty tons, nest forty, asserting that he needed that much to ballast his vessel. The Governor told him, at the „ suggestion of Mr. Barman, that he came in with out it, and he thought he could go without it; but if ballast was needed, there was plenty of stone on the beach that he might take. . a » it was supposed that she would go to sea during the night, and certainly in the morning, and I had an intimation that in passing us, she might pour in a broadside, I shotted and cast loose my. guns, and had men to man them $ got a slip-rope on the chain, and stationed lookouts all over the ship, and in the topi 5 cautioned the officers to extra vigi lance, and was repeatedly on deck myself, to watch and see that my orders were executed. The night was dark and squally. The Florida lay dose into the beach, and under the highland, with mil her lights coveted, and notwithstanding all this vigi lance, she crept out, unseen, to the eastward, and her departure was mot discovered until the moon arose, a few minutes since. A bloofiade runner, the Julia, which arrived in the altemoon, reports the Eeaxsarge as having left Cadiz three days ago, desti nation unknown. The Florida gave out they were going to Cadiz for coals; but I think noVand shall go direct to Teneriffe, hoping, if I do not find her there, to put the Sacramento on her track. The prevailing winds would mot permit me to get to Cadiz from Madeira in season to do her any in jury, even i> I thought that port her destination. The authorities here have done aU they could to hasten her departure and prevent her full supply, and I do not Imagine that the island will be troubled by the presence of rebel vessels of wsr very soon again. I waited on the Governor, to inform him of her intention to shlpjnen to complete her erew. He assured me that it should not be allowed, though it might be done clandestinely, which he could not help. I have reason to believe that she made no addition to her crew, and know from the statement of my gig’s crew that three of the men she brought with her deserted. Her erew is described to me as made up of Spaniards, Frenohmen, and Portuguese, with a few £ngliahmen, and but one American. Her first lieutenant is Thomas A. Dornin, lormerly a midshipman in our service. 1 notioe no change in theappearanoeof the Florida since I last saw her, except that now she has yards on her mainmast ; then she had none, and she had changed her billefrhead for a shield surrounded by scroll-work, in which is borne the arms of the Bebel States. My men have been wild to fight, and I drew the shot from my guns the day she came in, fearing that, in their excitement, they would fire into her without orders, and break theneutrality of this port. One thing is certain, the Florida does not intend to fight unless the ohanoes are largely in her favor, for she skulked away from the old St. Bouts. 1 am, very your obedient servant, GEO.

PBOOBHXHNGS OP MILITARY COURTS. The Oase op Captain Fitch. —A oourt of in quiry to examine into the removal of Government atores from the front and from Oulpeper on tee 7th of February, for which service a hundred oars were ordered by Captain Fitch, quartermaster at that post, have reported,the’ no further aotion was neces sary. General Meade, in reviewing the proceeding#, Bays: i* No severer censure can be paesed upon tee court than the publication of ito own atatement of facts and opinions thereon. A quartermaster,” he says, in charge of a depot, without orders from any one, proceeds to break up nls depot, embarrass the trans portation of supplies by irregularly making requisi tion for three times tee number of ear* necessary to move stores on hand; when oalled upon to explain bis conduct, attempts to shield himself by alleging the orders of an officer who had no right to-give him an order, and did not attempt to do so, and continues the loading of his stores after he has been officially ioformed they were not to be removed. Still the court fails to see anything in this conduct calling for punishment or reproof. The opinion of the oourt fe not concurred in. The ehief quartermaster of the army will, aa soon as possible, relieve Oapt. P. Fitch from the charge of tee depot at Oulpeper, and will assign him to duty in some position where he can be taugbt to use discretion and coolness Ja the discharge of his duties.” Ah Ovmcbb 'Disgraced and Dismissed.— The court martial at New Orleans, in the esse of Major Alexander S.

The findings and. sentence of the court have been approved by General Banks, by general order, in whloh he says: ... . . “ The offence of which tbia officer la proved guil ty—an attempt to effbot by vlolenoe advantages over powerless women—is disgraceful to himself and eriminal in the eyes of God and man.

[From the London Timm ofrhe 16 th. 3 The great man of the flood waters seems to have passed off from the Doo, and the itreeta in lta neigh borhood at Sheffield begin to wear somewhat of their old appearanee. Not ao, however, with the dlatrlet over which the deluge poured. Many month, must elapae before the buildlnga are reatored, and yeara mu at go by before the faoe of the country can wear the aspect of verdure and careful cultivation which it bore on Friday night. The river, though fallen, ia far from being ae low aa it generally ie at this time of the year, and every furlong of the atream’e bank, exhibits almoat innumerable trace, of the Inundation —aueh ae treea, balk., and beame of timber flrmly imbedded in lta bed. The open land in thia neighborhood la atill for the greater poo tion under water, and, aa that draina off, a number of bodfea will, it ia feared, be exposed to view. .The laige hollowa whioh-abound are being filled up by the hundreds of cartloads of mud wbleh are being deposited In them. The great manufacturers are bh.ily engaged ele.niog out their warehouses, and polishing their machinery, whioh had beoome rusty by the water. Harvest lane presents the same pic ■ ture of mod, oinderc,' dead horses, oowa, and plga, tbat it did on Sunday. Brldgehouse* was sat busy a. ever. r"-. Further down In the gardens opposite, at the other aide ol the river, a very palnfUl incident occurred. Two or three men were engaged In removing the rubbish of one of the small inhabited garden-houses. Near them stood a young woman, with two child ren clinging to ber are.#, the only once aaved from the wreck of their cottage. The rubbish had almoat been cleared away when the leg of a human being waa exposed to after brlok was re moved, until the poor woman recognized the re malne of her husband. A little above where this incident occurred the corpse of a child .was brought out of the mud In an open space near the old brewe ry, About twenty yards irom thu the body of a man was also found. As these bodies were earrled on stretchers to the workhouse, a large ero wd fol. lowed, but the greatest order and decorum were ob served by every one. Writing to the Sheffield Daily Telegraph, a corres pondent who resided on Bacon Island, thus describes what he saw In a glimpse of theflood:- ’ “ I Was seated at my fireside a little after 12 o’clock on Saturday morning, when my attention was ar rested by a strange noise, together with' a shouting ol many people. Alarmed, I hastened to my front 'door; on opening It I wae completely bewildered by' the frightful sound that fell utx>n my ears. It has never yet been truly described, nor can It ber.the neareet approach to a correct definition of It I have heard waa that of a poor man whose house withetood the storm that swept away his furniture, &0., 1 sir,’ said he to me, ‘I beard it coming like hissing thun der.’ I was so stuplfied by this horrid souod that I did not gee the wild waters immediately before me, nor did I dream of the nature of the calamity by which 1 waa threatened, until I aetually stepped Into the water at my gardeu gate. I at once mounted the rail ings, and was terrified by the sight of the rushing flood. Sharman’s house was Immediately opposite, only across the road. My eye had but just caught the waters foaming at its base, when the end fell into the flood, affording a glimpse of the rooms, furniture, See. It was but a glimpse, for in a moment the remainder of the house fell towards the road, and sank like lead In the waters, not leaving the slightest vestige visible. As I was not aware that Sharman and his family had escaped a few minutes before, I supposed they were all lost, and a thrill of horror came over me that caused me turn my head from the deep that had, as I supposed, swallowed them up. I then perceived that the waters had risen and surrounded me in my garden. I at once leapt baok and retreated into my house, which is considerably elevated above the road. The stream rose rapidly, until It reached four feet above tbe level it had attained when it swept away Shar man’s house. As it had now reaohed my doorstep, I requested that my children should be taken out and carried to a neighboring house on higher ground. Before this could be done, I faneied the waters ceased to rite; presently I had the happiness to see that they were subsiding, so that anxiety for my family and myself was at an end. When the flood Invaded it rose rspidly, but when it re tiled it seemed to sink slowly, very elowlv. At length the road was clear of water (not of mud); we then perceived that the bridge leading to the Island was swept away. Anxiety to know the fate of the cot tagers on the island constrained some to creep over the top of the ehuttle. I essayed to follow, and suc ceeded. Upon reaching the other side we found we were landed in chaos, and had to grope our way (the darkness was terrible) through thick mud, under and over trees, timber, atones, and wrecks of every kind. Upon reaching the oottages we were rejoiced to find all their inhabitants safe, excepting poor Wright, his wife, and the UtUe girl who was visiting with them. The end of Wright’s house jutted out into tbe stream, which brought down a beam that broke a large hole through It; Into this the stream poured until it threw down the front of the house, carrying away the door, the etalrs, all the furniture, and we think Wright, his wife, and the ohild, tod: but, aa tbe Hood never reaohed the chamber in this house, we are driven to the conclusion that the three persons who perished must have been down stair*.” Dbath ov Major WinniAM B. Noeris.— List evening, at about eight o’clock. Major William B, Norris, paymaster of the United States armv, died at bis office, on Jefferson street, in the sixty-flrst year of his age. Major Norris wse a native of Penn sylvania, a thorough gentleman by nature and edu* cation, a man of wealth, and one who had reoeived the confidence of his fellow-eltlzens by appointment to many offices of high political and social trust, none of which he ever abased. Though »n old man when the war commenced, he willingly offered bis own services in behalf or hie country, and urged all his sons, old eDough to bear arms, to follow his example. From that time to the present he and they—five in number—have fought nobly and faithfully in their country’s defenoe; and In the death of the head of this brave family. It is not praise, but simple, honest justice, to say the country has lost one of its best and most Intelligent citizens, and the army one of its most faithful and patriotic members. No man who knew him will, while thought remains, fall to eherish the memory or revere the virtues of Major Will B. Norris. We are informed that his remains will be taken to Philadelphia for Interment, and due notice will be given of tbe time of its departure. —Memphis Bulletin , March 23.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THU MONEY MARKET. To show the eagerness of the public, and of shrewd investors to secure an Interest in a good organization, an account of the subscription to the stock and the pros pects of the Bock Oil Company will not be out of place at this time, when oil companies are absorbing so much attention and capital. "We have before alluded to the producing powers of the Egbert farm, on which, is situ ated the Maple- Shade well which has averaged about seven hundred barrel* of oil per day, since last Au gust, and eleven other flowing wells, which ran from 16 to 170 bbls per day. This property la undoubtedly the best in the whole oil region, having been so pronounced by the soundest judgments of Venango countv, and ac tually produces, in a space of forty acres, of all ihe oil from the Oil Creek region. Every well that has been bored has proved a flowing well, whose comparative value considered,far surpasses those which require pumping. The Bock Oil Company have an In terest in the Maple Shade and one-sixteenth Interest in eighteen of the surrounding acres, on seven of which flowing wells are situated. A definite statement of the company *s income has not been made public, hut suffi cient is known to warrant a handsome return for the capital invested. The subscription books were opened yesterday, and, in three hours, the entire stock of fifty thousand sbareß were taken, (the majority by some of our oldest sad most respected citizens). The par value is ten dollars. three being only required to be pud in to purchase the interests in the property. A committee im mediately left the city to see full justice done to the company, and before night the shares sold np to seven dollars and a quarter, an advance of nearly one hun dred and fifty per cent. In one afternoon. The names of the gentlemen connected, fully guaranties the good charac ter of the enterprize and places the Bock Oil Company in a first class position. The market for oil stocks was dnll to-day, owing to the inclement weather and the na tural reaction which always follows a week of feverish excitement.
