WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1866.
Tennyson’s Hew foem.
It was announced in The Press, a few month, ago,
that a new poem, by Alfred Tennyson, founded on
a tradition long current in the British nary, was In
hand, and might soon be expected. Prom what we
heard of it we antlolpated that this poem would
run to tome length. It hoe appeared, at last, in
the new edition of “ Enoch Arden," (published by
J. E. Tilton & Co,, Boston), which wo noticed yes
terday, together with a few other minor poems
which we do not reoolleot having seen before. Mr.
Tennyson has treated the subject with great slur
plloity, whloh Is also forcible. He makes rain
rhyme with men, and adopting the American rather
than the English pronunciation of wound, rhymes
It with confound. But more lloeuse IB allowed a
lyric In’ ballad form than In a more elaborate metre.
We have pleasure in giving the poem:
THU OABTAIH—A. I/EGaMD OVTBB WATT.
BT ALFRED T2NHTSOX.
He that only rules by terror
Doeth, grievous wrong. . ■
Deep as Hell I coant Ua error.
Bet him Hear my song.
Brave the Captain wag: (He seamen
Made a gallant orew,
Gallant bo&b of English freemen.
Sailors hold and true.
But they hated his oppression,
. Stem he was and rash;
So Tor evhry light transgression
Doomed them to the lash.
Day by day more harsh and cruel
Seemed the Captain’s mood.
Secret Wrath, like smothered fact,
Barnhill e&ah man's blood.
g JCjt he hoped to pnrohase glory, _
f,', Hopedto makathe name
Of hts yesrel great In story
■Wheresoe’er he efino.
So they passed hy capes and Islands,
Many a harbor-month,
Sailing under palmy high lands,
Far within the Stmth.
On a day when they were going .
O'er the vast expanse, - '
In the North, her oanvag Bowing,
Bose a ship of Franoe.,
Then the captain’s color heightened,
Joyful came hit speech;
But a oloudy lightened .
Inthe^yesofWoh.
“ ohese,” he Bald : the ship flew forward,
And the wind did blow ;
Stately, lightly, went the Norward,
Till she neared the foe.
When they looked at him they hated.
Had what they desired:
Mute with folded arms they waited—
Not a gun was fired.
But they heard the foeman’s thunder:
Koarlng .out their doom i
All the air was torn in sunder,
Crashing went the boom, ‘
Spars were splintered, desks were shattered,
Ballets fell like rain, . -
Over mast and deck ware scattered
Blood and brains of men.
Span were splintered; decks were broken,
Every mother’s son—
Down they dropt—no word was spoken—
Each beside hia gun.
On the decks, as they were lying,
Were their faces grim;
In their blood, as they lay dying,
Did they smile on him.
Those In whom he had reliance
For his noble name,
With one smile ol still defiance
Sold him onto shame.
Shame and wrath his heart confounded,
Pale he turned and red,
Till himself was deadly, wonnded,
Falling on the dead.
Dismal error I fearful slaughter t
Tears have wandered by—
Side by side beneath the water
Crew and Captain lie;
There the sun-lit ocean' tosses
•O’er thdm-moulderlng, .
And the lonely seabird crosses
With one waft of the wing.
Speeds of A. , ‘
We reproducer great portion of this speech, made ■
oh the 10th of March, In the House or Representa
tives; on the MU providing for the Adjudication of
Border Military Claims. Interesting, as lt doea, a
large section of the Oommonwealtb, we* give it to
ensure It that publicity In Pennsylvania which any
express!* n of opinion by so Influential an individual
most oertaihly demands s .
The proposition before tho House, to whose death
members have rushed with aaoli unseemly haste,
looks only to ascertainment.; not to restitution, and
I appeal to those who assailed this measure'so'fe
lentlestly whether, If their constituents were the suf
ferers ; if their homes were but blackened walls,
and their fields laid waste, would they not plead the
oatue I plead to day 1. Would they not demand that
not only adjudication, bnt complete restitution, Is
the duty of amighty Commonwealth 1 Tbelr homes
are strangers to the calamity of war. Their hearths
have never been pointed by the rebel tread: • Their
flowers will bloom and entwine their columns when
spring Bhs.ll return to revive the earth. Their fields
will bring golden finite, unscathed by the blight of
armed battalions ; not so with those for whom I fee
bly plead tonight. When I have fulfilled the duties
enjoined upon me here by a Buffering people, 1 must
return to deal with desolation, where in better
days I gathered my own household-gods, there is
nonghhbut the cruel track of the destroyer. For
no other crime than earnestness in devotion to the
cause or an imperiled Government ; fox no wrong to
mankind, unless In ministering alike to despoller
and defender la sickness and death, I have had
home, with us eountless endearments and priceless
sanctuaries, blotted from.ihe, earth. Add who that
lstmlndfnl of the golden rule, to do nnto others as
we would have them do nnto us, can so cloud hit
judgment and so disregard the voice of duty, as to
turn these sufierlng people hence from this hall with
wanton contempt 1 What answer would such ha ve
me make to the bereaved and homeless when I re
turn to render an account of the trust dosflded to
mel Shalll tell them that although I asked no
charity at the hands of the commonwealth, but
simply for an impartial record of their sacrifices, it
was ungenerously refused 1
Previous Legislatures not only cordially sanctioned
this measure, but the Legislature of tbls State has,
almost without division of opinion, declared that
these claims should bo paid. In 1862, both branches
passed a bill not only providing for adjudicating
these claims, but also providing for their payment
out of the treasury of the Commonwealth. How
ever, the ordinary resources of the treasury would
not meet these demands, and the bill made no pro
vision for raising additional revenue. It was there ■
fore recalled. At that time the oredlt of the State
was In peril. We had accepted war as an lnexora.
ble necessity. We were strangers to its sacrifices,
and were appalled at the struggle with causeless,
orutl treason. By. common consent, these claims
were postponed—not rejected—until a better day
should dawn. Our means were first due to the com
mon cause of our threatened nationality. The bill
was modified to provide for adjudication.
The faith of tbls Commonwealth was pleflged to
every oltlzen that its honor, its dignity, and Its pro
tecting power should be faithfully maintained, and
all sections of the State confessed Its justice and
shared In Its vindication. At that time the measure
was not mainly for those whom 1 now In part repre
sent. The Invader had- not then polluted our soil:
The first bill was for the benefit of Philadelphia, of
Chester, of Dauphin, of Allegheny, and of Brio;
and had no foe reached our border to spread desola
tion In a few counties, those I have named would
have ardent advocates of the principle of this bill
in -their Representatives now on the floor. But men
have since learned to oounsel with their fears. The
eonupt have marked this measure as their prey.
They have grappled with it relentlessly because it
gives no promise of plunder. Tne great vital prin
ciple on which it rests seems to have been forgotten
or rejeoted. • '
Why, sir, are we at war to-day with the oommon
enemy of this Government! Is It. simply because
the North and tke South differ In some abstrac
tions! . Have we slain thousands of those who were
once our brethren end dotted our falrfields with un
timely graves for such a cause! By no means. We
are at war for a holler purpose. Wehave given our
blood and treasure unsparingly to preserve our Go
vernment. Its bleßslngß we regard as priceless. It
must be maintained In all Its integral parts or It Is
worthless. It nut exercise all its prerogatives—
must vindicate its might and supremacy, and give
itsjust compensation for the tribute and fealty It
exacts. It cannot demand remorselessly and with
bold Its protecting arm. It must have the power to
shield, the will to be just, fnd treat a wrong to its.
humblest supporter as a wrong to the State. This
Is the rule oi justice, and It would be a blistering
staid upon the now unblotted escutcheon of our
Commonwealth did It turn a.deaf ear to those upon
whom the devastation or war has fallen for the pro
tection of all. .
The gentleman from Philadelphia is quits too
sweeping In his denunciation of the principle of this
bill. He denounces It.as “a shame,” as “moft
strour,” and yet In his own city. If Mb home should
be destroyed by a revolt, he would, be prompt to de
mand restitution to the uttermost farthing, and It
would he promptly given. • It is tho accepted law ■
of every municipality of the Commonwealth. At ,
his home he rests in peace and safety. He yields
tribute for the oommon good, and receives In return
the guarantee of protection or compensation In
case of failure to protect. New York city Is now
paying two millions of dollars to those her Govern
ment failed to protect from the rioters of 1863. -Slip
lajled m her compact with her people,.and the duty
ol restitution, is confessed by all. In obedience to
the settled law, based on eternal justice,‘that pro:
motion is one of the first duties, of Government,
Let the gentleman from Philadelphia return to his'
own city and tell Ms people theyhave erred until'
now—that Government, municipal, State, add ge
neral, should merely exact and not remunerate
when remiss in protection, and Ms people will look

Such Is the settled law of every city and-town In

dollars expended to derend Pennsylvania.

Not a murmur comes from the people In any part
of the State. The duty to defend is confessed: Our
common treasure Is given with a lavish baud to do*
lend the homes and property of the border; but de

A “ Kb»obi6uTion ” ,in Russia,— The fiossian

of information: ■ . ■
“About the year 18&-.a remarkable movement
toojrplace in the Baltlo provinoes. The boor peo
pleln the towns and in the country, above all the
proletariats, who belonged to tbe’Frotestaatoburoh,
made known their wish to embraoe the Russian or-,,
thodex religion. Numerous ohanges of'faith took,
place, and in less than a year 117,000' PrdtesCants
went over to the orthodox ohureh. The Protestant
nobles and the Protestant clergy were.astonlshed at -
a olrcumstanoe which assumed such immense pro
portions. The reportwaa spread among the people
;hat peasants who embraced the : orthodox faith
would receive permission to leave, the Baltlo pro
vinces, that, land would be aialgnsd to them, &o.
The Government gave an officLldehlal to these re
ports, and Indeed ordered that thijn who embraced.
;be Greek religion should exprmtty deolare that
they had not done so In view of in improved mate
rial condition, but in obettience to powerful convlo-.
tions. But all these measures by no ineans pre
vented the conversions from continuing. The Pro
testant nobles, urged by their clergy, demanded of
the Government laws which shouldllmit this move
ment. This, as has been stated, occurred about
twentyyears since. At present the converted peo
ple find themselves in the greatest misery. Am lh;
vestlgation has already shown that the persecution
of the converts began, indeed, idTSffi. , Thoyworo ’
banished Atom the estates belonging to most of;the
Protestant proprietors, everywntre they were) re
fused work, and the Protestant olergy not only
showed animosity towards thent from the-pulpit,
but even refused to grant them Christian burial.
The Government has now ordered the strictest in

/Who shall measure the strength of a Government
tins sustained 1 -
The following in reference to the beneficial effect
of peace ]n> this- cSuntry upon French finances Is
translated from the Baris: Opinion Natio?iale,
April 19 :
The amount of erar exports has declined thirty
five millions during the two fltst months,of the year.
Our indinet revenue shows a falling off of nineteen
millions In thd first quarter In consequence of the
delay In settling the dutleson sugar.
it Is time to ascertain the cause of this falling off,
both In production and consumption.
0 Ms ♦. fc" ♦ V
We have nothing to rely upon in order to render our
tones productive excepting peace in America.
But how doer the Bank of France prepare for
that grand event 1 The last balanoe sheet stum an
Increase In advances upon bullion of twenty-four
millions, In round numbers. Specie merchants de
posit their Ingots with the bank. Instead of going*
directly to the mint, with the evident purpose of ob
taining advances from the bank without having to
give any compensation-
Why should the Bank of France lend Itself to such
transactions when the same will certainly create
embarassment should the demand for gold from
America Increase 1. ‘ , !
The Bank of England pays oniy the actual value
for ingots, deducting the cost of coinage, and re
turns them at the same rate; but It does not make
loans on precious metals.
• *.* ♦. *
As long as the Bank of France does .not square
accounts with the dealers In precious metals we shall
be liable to a crisis. We are approaching this state
quietly, and when our metallic currency becomes
aerasged the declaration of peace in America will
be assigned as the cause, whereas It is simply the
pretext. . .. • .
While loans command thirteen per cent! the hank
rate of discount, three and-ahalf per cent., 13 too
low—lt should praised to five percent,, andremsin
at that figure.
‘ The important order issued from the War Depart
ment, at the dose of last week, for the reduotiqn of
the army and the curtailment of toe prospective
military expenditures of the Government In every
p&sslble.dlrectlon, was succeeded on Saturday by a
proclamatlon lrom the President removing all re
strlotlons, not Imposed by Congress, upon the Inter
nal domestic and commercial Intercourse of tho
country, articles contraband of war alone excepted,
and the sections not within the lines of the national
cannot fall to exert a most beneficial effect upon the
prospective-prosperity of the. country and the de
velopment of Its reßources. ‘
The army reduction will lesson the annnal expendl
turos of the Government by many millions, while
thousands of men, sow consumers only, will become
producers also, and thus the area of labor be en
larged. The removal of the restrictions upon trade
will open newohannelß for the profitable employ
ment of that labor, and we hall the announcement
of the two measures as the commencementof a new
era to the prosperity of a nation which will soon .
become united to stronger and more' permanent
bonds of unlofi than have ever before' distinguished
Its history. ,
The question Is asked where do all the specie dol
lars go from Mexico 1 The reeelpts at New. York
are very trifling. We, however, ean give some In
formation on the subject. The-British West India
mail steamer, the February packet,; landed at
Southampton with about $1,970,000 early to March.
The greater part of this was Mexican dollars re
ceived from Yera Orns. We also observed another
shipment of nearly one million dollars a Short time'
since. England realises all the profit : and advan-'
tages Bom her cordon of man steamships ramifying;
to every-quartor of the world under subsidies for
mall service. The steam marine of Great Britain
Is monopolizing toe passenger and carrying trade
of the world. j
