We have enjoyed, tWo days in succession, an mil' preoedented quietness: How long this oppressive silence is to continue will probably depend on cir cumstances. It may bathe - calm that precedes the storm which is toburat forth-soon with ter:riffe fury.

It was to the effect that. General Lee was abouttci astonish the world by a granditrategloal evacuation of Petersburg, the which, however, has not yet occurred—at least' had not up to the time the train left yesterday afternoon. Passengers state that no such news was current in Petersburg ; on the contrary, the military routine there had the ap pearance of a design on the part of General Zee to stay there during the war, and possibly make it his permanent residence. There was nothing of in terest from the front yesterday or Saturday." The slag-okruce boat which wont up the Samos river several days ago has not returned yet. The complications involved in the exchange of prisoners seem to require some time for adjustment. Poker's Poems of the War. .We take it that directness, plain expression, and Eimplelorce of language aro among the charaoteria. tics of true pcietry. Those who cannot, or will not, write so that "he who runs may read," do not find their place in the van where stand the true poets. When the mind is filled with thought, spontaneously does the thought throwitself into labguage, (" wreak itself into expression ".are Byron's fine words,) and the result , is what the world calls Poetry. There have just been published, by Ticknor Sr, Fields, two volumes, in which is exhibited the difference be tween word-spinning and poetry—between the un intelligible and the lucid. Robert Browning, the Englishman, is a verse-maker; George H. Boker, the American, is a true poet. Read (if you can) the "Dramatis Personm " of one and the War-Poems of the other, and perceive the difference between them. Browning's new volume is diffuse, dreamyy.and unintelligible—the long-winded rhapsody of a ver sifier—his _own Sir Oracle. Boker's "Poems of the War" are:direct, concentrated, natural, rhyth mical, earnest, active. Browning loiters on the road, without any definite goal to reach. Boker spiritedly advances, bound . directly for a certain point, and carries you _along with him to it without pause, In a word, still judging of the two writers by the volumes this day before as, it maybe saidithat Browning is a muddycanal, and poker a clear and gushing _river._ ,The. Englishman evidently sits down to think what he shall write ; the American writes what he thinks, and his ,poetry is spontane ous. If Browning cannot write what ordinary read ers can understand, without. straining their mind to make out his hidden meaning, we . ;hope never again to encounter him ; but -We shall be glad to read another volume of Bokees poetry as .soon as it may please him to present it. , . . Out of the war have arisen numerousincidents and passages worthy of being honored in Song, 1. Almost countless lyrics have thus been called-forth; for the most part, the writers' aspiration far ex ceeded their ability. Dir. Boker is among the best, if, indeed, not actually the best, among the true Poets who have written on the events and characters -before Lonllow, Whittier, and lioliies',l gfe Ira vantage being that he is dramatic:where they are didactic. lie seizes upon. the action of a circum stance, and evolves It in a dramatic manner. In "Before Centreville ho treats of the - retreat in this living spirit, and the incidents pass before us as in a rapid panorama—the strife, the . onset, the . Sight, the useless appeal to the fugitives, and then the creeping back to the Capital: . !, On I stole, s With hanging head and abject soul, Across the high embattled ridge; . __And o'er the arches - of the bridge. SO freshly pricked my sharp disgrace, I feared to meet the human face. . , - '„,Skulking, as any woman might, Who'd lost her virtue in the night - And sees the dreadful glare of day • Prepared to light-her howeward way, Alone, heartbroken, shamed, undone, . • I staggered into Washington I" So, in the poem "On Board the Cumberland," what spirit, what life is there in the combat. with the Merrimac—what force in the incidents—down to the crash, to the downward plunge of the doomad ship, and to the last moment the flag fluttering at the peak ! Again, in " Tho Sword-Bearer,” cer tainly 'one of the finest of modern ballads, what actuality, as well as action, is there •in the little negro lad to whom Morris had entrusted his sword, following him with fearless fidelity and trust,; sink ing at last - withea - firm grasp of the weapon, and when rescued, and to life slowly restored, giving back the sword only .to him who owned it ! Again, in "The Ballad of New. Orleans," how vivid is the description of the strife ! no pause for description or detail ; nothing to .oheck.the rapidity of the action ; nothing to weaken the culminating climc.2, when . "Ober the river came floating The sound of the morning gun ; - - • ;And the stare and stripes danced up the halyardS, 'And glittered:against the sun." - • 'We need not multiply examples—the book is full of them. The volume; as its name implies, contains a large number•of Poems . upon the War which Rlr:Acker, patriot: as well . is poet, hair written in the last thine years. We need,not, particularize them. Wo sub= join the introductory lyrio, which is new : " • INVOCATION.. 0 Country, bleeding from the heart, If these poor songs can touch thy Woe, And draw thee but awhile apart • - From sorrow's bitter overflow, . Then not in vain • . ,This feeble strain About the common air shall blow. • • • As David stood by prostrate Saul, So wait I at thy sacred feet : I reverently raise thy pall, • To see thy mighty bosom beat. • - , 'I would not wrong Thy grief with song ; . • • • I would but utter what is moot. Arise, 0 giant! Lo,.the day Flows hither from the gates of light. The dreams, that struck thee with dismay, Were shadows of distempered night. 'Tis just to mourn What thou Met borne ; But yet the future has its right. A glory, greater than the lot . - Foretold by prophetsas tobe ; - A tame without the odious blot • Upon pi_title to be free,— "Whe jeer of foes, - • the woe of woes, • God's curse and sorrow over thed. • • Above the nations of the earth Erect thee, prouder than before !" ' • _ Consider Well the trial's worth, • And let the passing tempest roar,! • It spends its shook, Upon a rock: • Thou shaft outlive a thousand more. Through tears and blood I saw a gleam, Through all the battle smoke it shone; A voice I heard that drowned the scream • Of widows and the orphan's' moan . : An awful voice • That cried, "Rejoice !" A light outbreaking from God's throne. At the close of these. Lyrics of the War are ap'• pended half a dozen miscellaneous poems. Of these "Prince Adeb” and " Abon's Charity," very much in the manner of Tennyson's blank verse, take the lead. Their subjects are Oriental, and their senti ment and local coloring are also of the East. There is a personal tribute to Elisha Kent Kane, and a dirge, written last November, which will dim many an eye with tears. Now, having read Mr. Boker's volume with pleasure, we leave it to the appreeta tion of the vast army of general readers. It will live. Notwithstanding the advance in paper, composi tion, stereotyping - , printing, binding, engraving, and wages, the rise In the retail price of new books is comparatively small, nor do we find that there Is much diminution in the numbor of really good• works. The recent issues by D. Appleton & Co., New York, illustrate both of the above propositions. They Include the several standard publications. The.volume, for 1863, of the American Annual • Cyclepoedia," is the third supplement, to appear every year, with the view of giving entire com pleteness to the "New American Cyclopeedla," now complete in sixteen volumes royal octavo, each volume containing the world's history for a year, being also complete in itself. The information, which includes not only public events, but bbigra phy, geographical, scientific, legal, Mechanical, literary, religious, Congressional, financial, and general progress, is conveniently placed in alpha. • betical order; for the advantage of ready roterence. .The work wlll be fonnd.ol great value, from its corn pleteness and accuracy.

The hotels, three or four in number, are spacieus, but decidedly the worse 'for wear: With the : exception of the Trout House, they are nearly empty„ and the latter is by no means in thorough running order. : Hardly a house in Atlanta, has escaped damage from the shells which, for over a month, have been -hurled at it. A single battery him been known to throw nine , hundred shells into the city between dark and daylight. This- was largely in esoess of the average, but the shelling has been very heavy . tlittughout. The , majority of the roofs in the city are torn, and the walls scarred. About half a dozen fires resulted' from the firing. In the room of one house in which a. correspondent slept the night after the evacuation, the wall was garnished wit& a rag - ged orifice made by a fragment of shell, and in the adjoining .apartment was a. chair...partially d emo .. molishea by the same irate messenger.
