Tennxson's Sew Poems.* .
A volume of poems by Alfred Tennysonis sure to
be welcome—even when, as in " Blaud, ,, heoshows
wealufffss.. His latest production, "Idyls or the
Bing," showed maturity of power and no decline of
fancy.. His new volume, published here in advance
of its appearance London, is a ooileotton of
poems, the two first of which are narrative, written
inthat easy blank verse which many have attempw
ed, but without his success.
The flrit story, called "Enoch Arden," has a
flaborman for Its hero, and a fishing-hamlet for its
locality. The time is a hundred years ago. Enoch
Arden is a rough sailor's lad, -Phiilp-Ray is the mil
ler's only son, and Annie Lee,.
"The prettiest little damsel in the port,"
is loved .by both, but weds 'Enoch,. whu, ere,he
touched his one-and-twentieth year, has purchased
it boat of his own, and
- «Nfade a home
For' nnie, neat and nest.like, halfway up
The narrow Street that clambered toward the mill."
The marriage takes place, Philip grieving over Ms
Own rejection; and seven happy yearss of health' and
oompetence gilde on. A girietidtwo boys are the
fruits. Enoch meets with an ,accident. which lays
him up for a time, and then, in hope of bettering his
fortunes, lie•goes.out as boatswain la a China-bound
vessel. He starts Annie, by the sale of his boat, In
a small-warets , shop,,and leaves her—he full of hope,
she oppressed with the sad augury that she wes.not•
again to see him. The youngest child dies. The
little business•does not , answer; Philip UndertalteS
to educate the other children, he being . 44 ,rieh. and
well-to-do," and the little ones •
:," horde of his house and of hi e, millmerelikey,P
.
call him Father Fbillp. So ten years Rasa, with no
tidings•of -Enoch, and then-Philip entreats Annie
•
to marry him. She consents, provided he will wait
another year to see. whether. Enoch may. return.
Her Children wish this marriage to take place . She
prays for a sign that „Enoch was dead, and opens the
Bible at the teat " 'Under a palm tree," and dreams
that she sees him sitting on a height, under a palm
tree, and aver him the Sun, and believes that
14 Yonder shines
The Sun of Righteousness, and these be palms
Whereof the happy people strowlog cried. • -
' Hosanna in the hlgriest V ) 9
She weds—but we Must let the poet "tell us of
these second nuptials :
So - these were wed and merrily rang the bells,
Merrily rang the bells and they were wed. ' •
But never merrily beat Annie's heart.
A footstep seem?ci to fall beside her path,
She knew not whence; a whisper on her ear,
She knew not what ; nor loved ehe to be le ft
Alone at home, nor ventured out alone.
What eil'd her then, that ere she enterd often
Her hand dwelt lingeringly on the latch, •
Fearing to enter : Philip thought he knew : '
Such doubts and fears were conimon to-her state,
Being with child : but when her child was born,
'Then her new child was as herself ranee:rd.,
Then the new mother came about her heart,.
Then her good Philip was her all-in-all,
And that mysterious instinot wholly died.
Meantime, Enoch still lives. On the homeward .
voyage;his ship is wrecked, himself and two com
rades reaching an island, an " Eden of -all plea
teommess,l where eternal summer smiled. The
youngest dies, haying 'lingered out . a .three-years
death•in-life." Enoch's surviving cobseade dies BUM
stricken. Yews pass on, and at last a ship, touch
ing at the 'island for _water, bears Enoch-back to
England, landing him on the harbor whence, years
ago; he bad sailed before. He dads nollght nor
murmur in the home where he , and Annie bad
lived. He went .to an_ old tavern, kept by one
Miriain Lane :
But Miriam Lane was good and garrulous,
Nor let him be,•but often breaking in,
Told him, with other annals of the port
Not knowing—Enoch was so brown, so' blivr'd,
So broken—all the story of his house.
rile .baby's death, her growing poverty,
How Philip put her little ones to school,- •
And kept them in it, his long wooing her,
Her slow consent, and marriage, and the With
Of Philip's ehifti : and o'er his-countenance
No shadow past, nor motion : any one,
Regarding well, had defused he felt the tale
Less than the teller: only wherishe Closed
"Enoch, poor man, was oast away and lost"
He, shaking his grayrhead pathetically,.
Repeated muttering "cast away and lost ;').
Again hi deeper inward whispers "lost 1 9
- But Enoch yearn'd to see her face - again ;
- "If I might lock on her sweetface again
And know that she Is happy." So the•theught
Haunted and harass'd him, and drove him forth,
At evening when the dull November day
Was growing duller twilight, to the hill..
There he sat down gazing on all below•;
There did a thousand memories roll upon him,
Unspeakable for sadness. • By and'br
The ruddy square of comfortable light,
Far-blazing irbm the rear of Philip's house,
Allured him, as the beacon-blaze allures
The bird of passage, till he madly strikes
Against it, and beats out his weary life:
For Philip's dwelling fronted on theiktreet, . •
The latest house to landward; but behind;
Que.sinfillgaptthatOpegiliKekalleonfbh. --
Ploullsted. ICBM° garderf squa.rattudirall'ds,
And in it throve itn ancient evergreen,
A yewtree, and all - round it ran a walk
Ofsbingle, and a"vialk divided it :-
But 'Enoch eltunn'd the middle walk and stole
Up by the wall, behind the yew; and thence
That which he better might have shunu'd, if griefs
Like his have worse or better, Enoch saw.
For cups and silver on the burnislOd board
Sparkled end shone; so genial was the hearth:
- And on the right lia, d of the hearth he saw
Philip, the slighted suitor of old times,
Stout, rosy, with his babe across his knees ;
And o'er her second father stoopt a girl,
A later but a loftier Annie Lee,
Fair hoard and tall., and from her lifted hand
Dangled a length of ribbon and acing
To tempt the babe, who reard his creasy arms,
Caught at and ever nmiss ' d it, and they langh'd:
And on the left hand of the hearth he saw.
The mo th er glancing often toward her babe,
But turning now and then to speak with him;
Her eon, who stood beside her tall and strong,
And saying that which pleased him, for he smiled.
Now when the dead man come to life beheld
His wife his wife no more, and saw -the babe
Rers, yet not his, upon the father's knee,
And all the warmth, the peace, the happiness,
And his own 'children tats and beautiful,°
And him, that other, reigning in his place,
Lord of his rights and of - his children's love—
Then he, the' Miriam Lane had told hitti all,
Because things seen are mightier than things
heard, _
Stagger'd and shook, holding the branch, and
fear'd
To send abroad a shrill and terrible cry,
Which in one moment, like the blast of doom,
Would shatter all the happiness of the hearth.
He, therefore, turning softly like a thief;
Lest the harsh shingle should grate under foot,
And feeling all 'along the garden wall,
Lest he should swoon and tumble and be found,
Crept to the gate, and open'd it, and closed,
As lightly as a sick man's chamber door,
Behind him, and came out upon the waste.
He does not discover himself,-but - earns his living
as before, among the boat's and barks, gradually de
clines in health,' tells his story to. Miriam Lane
under a strong promise of silence
I charge you now,
When you Shall see' her, tell her thatl died
Blessing her, praying for her, loving her;
Save for the bar between us, loving her,
As when ebe laid her head beside my own.
And 'tell my daughter Annie whom saw
So like her mother, that my latest breath
Was, spent in blessing her and praying for her.
And tell my On that I died blessing him.
And say to Philip that I blest him too;
He never meant us anything but good- -
But if my children care to see me dead,
Who hardly.knew me living, let them come,
I am their father ; but she must not come,
For my dead face would vex her after-life.
And now there is but one of•all-my blood,
Who will embrace me in the world-to-be
This hair is his : she out it off and gave it,
And I have borne it - with me all these years, .
And thought to bear it with me to my grave
But now'my Mind is changed, for I shall see'hird,
hly babe in bliss : wheretore when I am gone,
Take, give her this, for it may comfort•her:
It will moreover be a token to her,
That lam he.
He dies, and there ends as simple and touching an
Idyl of the Hearth as was ever written.
"Aylmer's Field," the second story, is deeply_tra,
gloat. It relates the adventures of a proud baronet's
fair daughter and heiress, who loves not as her
_ _
parents wish, and dies broken.hearted, her, lover
perishing by his own hand ,
Other poems are. here—minor ottea;...whiels haws ,
already :smeared in magazinelyother peteediesiti;
and for public occasions. Among _these, Sce,
Dreams," the ballad of "The Grandmother,"
and
"Tithoniss," will be gladly welcomed. Here,too, is
"Boadicea," a poem which is new to us, and shows
that ancient Britonees to have had copious command
of ecurrfl language. And here, varlosity of Mere
ture, is "The Northern Farmer. Old Style," writ
ten in one.of the many odd dialects of England. It
begins :
"Wheel ; 'asta balm saw long and melt liggin , era
Moan l"
We take this, es Bean Brummell's .valet ' said, to
be one' of hir. Tennyson's "failures." What we
have quoted, however, will show the merit of the
new pocins. We could pick out many felicities of
expression which the reader will delight in.
There is an occasional misuse in these poems of
ont.of-the-way words—of words which ordinary

that morning, to See the little laborer's boy, half in
rags, and bespattered with mud, rush up to him, and
breathlessly ask for 0 Thomson's Seasons. o It was
a line spring morning when little John Olare re.
turned to his village; the birds sang in the green
hedgerows, and the leaves rustled pleasantly in the
high trees of Burghley Park. Of courke,the boy
devoured the book he had just purchased while
walking along. He did morehe composed his
first piece of poetry, which he called "The Morning
Walk."
Mr. Charles Babbage, in his second book of
reminiscences, under the title of "Passages in the
Life of a Philosopher," relates the following anec
dote of the poet Rogers'and himself: "Once at a
large dinner party, Mr. Rogers was speaking of an
inconvenience arising from the custom, then com
mencing, of having windows formed of one large
sheet of plays. glass, - He said that a short time ago
he sat at dinner with his baok to one of these , single
penis of plate, glass; it appeared to him that, the
window was wide open, and such was the force bf
imagination that he actually caught cold. It so
happened that I was ,sitting just - opposite to the,
poet. Hearing :this remark .I immediately said,
'Dear me, how odd it's, Mr. Rogers, that you and I
should make such a very different use of the faculty
of imagination. When Igo to the house of a friend
in the country, and unexpectedly remain for the
night, having nonight-cap, I should naturally catch
cold. But,by tying - a bit of pack thread tightly
round my head, I go to sleep imagining that I have
a night-cap on, consequently I catch no cold at all.)
This sally produced, much amusement i 5 all around,
who supposed I had improvised It ; but, odd as it
may appear, it is a practice I haveefrert resorted to.
Mr. Rogers, who knew full well the respect and re
gard I had for him, saw at once -that -I was relating
a simPle.fact, and joined cordially in the merrinient
it excited." -

A REVIRW OF THE PROGRESS or THE It.Rl)Fr FROM
CHATTANOOGA TO ATLANTA—THE DISOLCULTLES
SURMOUNTED= — THE BATTLES WON.
The New York Times prints an able article on
the Georgia campaign, from which we make the
subjoined extract. It will give the reader a clear
and full idea, betteti than any he may have gained
from isolated and often clouded and contradictory
statements of correspondents who have chronicled
the nioyements
A sweeping glance at the track of the Western
Army will show what it has accomplished. Start
ing from Chattanooga early in May, Sherman first
met the enemy, in force, thirty-one miles distant, at
Tunnel . Hill, under which hill, through a, tunnel
1,1300 feet long, runs the Georgia Railroad. The
enemy was briskly driven back* from Tunnel Hill to
Dalton, a diatance of seven miles. He paused, how
ever, at Rocky:faced Ridge, the northern defehee of
Dalton, a precipitous hill, which is cleft by the nar
row pass called Buzzard's. Roost/ Here, on the Bth
of May, Sherman attacked Johnston in an impreg
nable position ; but the wily .enemy was outgeue
ruled by his adversary. While this feint was con
ducted with such vigor that our loss was fully six
- hundred men, fdePherscn, with his grand division,
embracing the 15th and 16th' (and afterwards
the 17th) Corps, was - already flanking "Dalton
by a wide detour upon Snake Gap, whiekleads to
Resaca, eighteen miles south of Dalton. No sooner,
was news sea t him of McPherson's lodgment,than
Sherman withdrew from Johnston's front, hastening
to Snake Gap with all his army. For his opponent
there was nothing but to fall back on ltesaca, fifty
six miles direct from Chattanooga. Here occurred
the heavy two days' battle of the 14th and 15th of
May, with a loss ti four or 'five thousand on either
side, and the capture by us of a battery and nearly
a thousand prisoners, As its main result, Realms
was abandoned, and our army pursued the enemy,
skirmishing with and harasaing his rear. At length
we occupied Kingston, twenty-three miles fromße
saca, on the railroad, and a detached column seized
the important town of Rome, fourteen miles away
to the'west of Kingston, with its 'stores , of provisions
and seven excellent and valuable iron foundries.
The next stand of the retiels beyond-Kingatell^as
at_Alatcrone, inalionghold sailing the MVOS
'Mountains; ninety-eight miles [role Chattanooga.'
But again they were flanked out of their entrench
ments, and on the 30th of May, after a brisk light,
in which about four hundred prisoners were cap
tured with a few cannon and small arms, Sherman
struck the railroad once more near Marietta,
twenty miles below,!Alatoona. But, meanwhile,
McPherson had flanked Marietta by marching his
grand. division twenty - miles to the right, as far as
Dallas, which is eighteen miles west of Marietta.
There McPherson successfully fought a severe battle,
or series of battles, on the 25th, 27th, and 28th Of
May. , The loss of the enemy was reported at 2,500,
left in our hands, our own lose being very much less.
The result was the occupation ,of Dallas, and the
establishment of a' base of supplies and a strong
cover for our rear at Alatoona, Pass, with the pos
session' also, of Acworth. From- Dallas, Sherman
moved on Marietta, lighting hie way from day to
day, with a severe engagement on the 15th of June.
The 16th and 37th were also days of battle, and on
the 18th a hot action, with heavy loss on both sides,
gave us Lost Mountain, six miles west of Marietta,
from which the enemy retreated to Keness.w Moun
tain, a second bold detached peak, three miles nearer
the town.
On the 22d and - 23d of June our forces gainet Such
decided and unexpected successes in position, after I
heavy 'skirmishing, that Sherman ventured even to •
assault the precipitous Kenesaw' Mountain itself,
on the 27th. Two lines of &battle were forced arida
hundred prisoners taken out or their rifle-pits, but
we were bloodily repulsed, with the loss of 2,600 men.
'Again the teams of flanking wore resorted to, and
again sUocessfully. Marietta was ours on the 30th
of June, and, leaving Kenesaw behind, the army
marched "onward to Atlanta:" Johnston was
pushed across the. Ohattahoochie, except that Har
dee's corps still held alietrongly-entrenched position
in a bend of - the river. With great skill, and
with great rapidity, a column was sent far up the
stream, and crossed near Rosswell, thirteen miles
northeast of Marietta, and twenty miles due north
of Atlanta. Here some. very valuable cotton and
vrbolen factoriesa ere destroyed. The enemy, flanked
on his 'right again, retreated, and our army crossed
the long.soughtriver.on the 11th of July. At once
the left was thrown forward; std, swinging about
on the rebel right., seized Decatur, which Ilea only
six miles to the east of Atlanta, and destroyed at
thatpoint railroad communication between Atlanta
and Augusta,.
Now, at last, - the people of the South were
thoroughly terrified. For a long time, they had
been consoled with hearing • that Johnston was
" drawing the)Yankees on," and, at each stage of the
retreat, he " had the Yankees just where he wanted
thetn.q. But when he bad got them across the
Chattahoochie, they were found to be just where all
the Confederacy, except Johnston, did not want
them. Accordingly, Johnston was superseded a
fortnight ago; and, while he made his teat retreat,
sorrowfully and alone, Hood assumed his command.
Hood began his career by two suddenly deliveredat
tacks, on the 20th and 2.2 d of July ; the bloodiest and
hottest battles ever fought in Georgia. He chose
his time, on the 20th, when our forces were not
thoroughly deployed in order of battle, having In
fact] just crossed Peach Tree creek. a stream which
gives the aotion its name. Pretended deserters were
sent to our lines, well loaded with the story that At.
- lents was evac uated. A cloud of skirmishers was
pushed forward accordingly, and met no enemy. •
Hood had withdrawn his own skirmishers, and now
' suddenly drove his solid lines on ours. Our advance
came flying back as before st• whirlwind, and the
enemy tore through a gap which had been but su
perficially covered. By good fortune, but more
by the admirable gallantry 'of Hooker's corps
(the divisions of Williams, Geary, and Ward) and
of Newton's division, the shock was met, and, after
a bard fight the enemy was driven to his entrench
merits, leaving athousand prisoners in our hands.
Our loss is officially put. at 2,000, and that of the
enemy must have been nearly double, because it was
that of an assaulting party, repulsed in successive
charges. Another similar battle occurred on the
22d, when the- gallant PdoPherson fell; and again
the rebel line, atter desperate charges at the mouths
of our artillery, recoiled and fell back with great
slaughter to its entrenchments.
sqich, then, is the campaign, so far as developed
into Watery. In a recent issue, the military value
of Atlanta was shown to be very great. In this re
view it will be Seen how skilful, arduous, and tri
umphant has been our advame to possess thatoity,
and with what obstinacy the enemy has resisted us.
In those three months ft direct advance of one hun
dred and thirty-five miles, measured on the railroad,
has beesr made ; and when the flanking manceuvres
are, reckoned fn, the result will disclose- a contested
march of fully two hundred miles. It has been
conducted through a country defensible at every
step, by river and mountain' with the impreg
nable barriers of the Blue Ridge everywhere
interposed, now 'ln parallel ranges, now In sharp,
spurs and now in detached and solitary ptiake,
like Los t Mountain and Kenesaw. The pitched.
battles at Tunnel Hill. Resaca, Kenesaw, Ala
toona, Dallas, Peach Tree Creek and Atlanta,
will testify the reluctance with which the enemy
has suffered his long. line of defences to be susses.
sively wrung from him. The removal of Johnston,
a favorite and able General, and no less the urgent
cry of Governor Brown for boys between sixteen
and seventeen, and old men between fifty and fifty
five, to march .to the field as the last hope of the
rebellion, show that the enemy will fight to deeps.
.ration before he surrenders Atlanta. Here, in fact,
Is at once the granary, the foundry, and tho arsenal
•of the Confederacy, in the region our troops now
occupy. We say, therefore, again, the fall of At-,
Tanta in itself crowns with success the whole cam
paign.
The Overlau4l 'telegraph to Russia
Amid the hustle of war a work of peace and drill- I ,
zation has been steadily growing. The telegraphic
project to unite the United States and Russia has
entered into the stage of real work ; the last impe
diments have been overcome, and now Mr. Collins,
conjointly with the Western Union Telegraph Com
jany, lies already begun the work.
Four ships have been chartered and freighted
with the telegraphic wire, implements, p_rovisions,
tents, &0., and will soon start for San Francisco,
sailing round Cape Horn. This fall the fleet wilt
reach -San • Francisco. The Government of the
United States has detailed a man-ofwer for the
purpose of helping the company. Four exploring
parties will be leit respectively at New Westmin
ster, Frazer river, Point Desolation (on the line be
tween British and. Russian America), Sithka. (the
capital of Russian America), and at Cook's Inlet.
Those-parties are to explore the coast; if•possible,
obtain' all the timber wanted, and prepare the
ground for next spring's work.

TAB Caneirnxtcs.—ln the notes to Southey's KDon
Roderick," there is a letter relative to the Jews so
remarkable and *se. curious that I have attempted •
a translation, although the original is in quaint old
Spaniah, differing as much from modern Castilian
as the English of our days does from the English of
Chaucer's. Mr. Southey prefaces this letter.in the
following words : " When Toledo was recovered
from the Moors by Alonzo VI., the Jews of that city
waited on the conqueror arid assured him that they
weresart of the ten tribes whom Nebuchadnezzar
had tlanaported Into Spain, not. descendants of Je
rusalem Jews, who had crucified Christ. Their an
cestors, they said, were entirely innocent of the cru
cifixion, for when Calaphaa, the -high .priest had
written to the Toledan synagogues to ask their ad
vice respecting the --person who called himself the
Messiah, and whether he should be slain the Tole
dans returned for answer'that, in their judgment,
, the prophecies seemed. fulfilled in • this person, and
'therefore he ought not by any means to be put to
death. This reply they produced in the original
. ..Hebrew, and in Arabic, as it had been translated by
command of King
,Galifre. Alonzo gave ear to the
Story, had.the letter translated into Latin and Cas
tilian, and deposited among the archives of . Toledo.
The latter vends:ails thus rendered by Sardoval."
Here follows the letter lathe old Castilian tongue,
of which the following is a translation :

a National Bank, under the same style, with its
capitalof t 3,000,000.
Business men should not forget that after yester
day (Aug. Ist), receipts for money, over twenty dol
lars, require a stamp; and the tax
.on proinissory
notes has been greatly raised. A careful examina
tion of the new schedules will show the changes in
this respect. A note for $lOO, 30 .days and grace,
which paid one cent Under the old law, will now
pay five cents ; and the same for each additional
$lOO or fractional part thereof.
The folloWing advertisement appearing in the
Richmond papers shows the latest expedient of the.
