Nine years ago you came to mo,
Anil nestled on my breast,
A soft und winged mystery
That settled here to rest j
And my heart rockt its bah nf bliss.
And soothed its child of air.
With something 'twixt a snug and kiss,
To keep it nestling there.
At first I thought the fuiry form
Ton spirit-sott end good
To fill my poor, low nest with warm
And wilely womanhood.
But such a cozy peep of home
Did ytiur dead eyes unfold ;
And iu their deep end dewy gloom
What tales of love were told I
In dreumy curves your beauty droopt,
As tendrils lean to twine,
And very graciously they stoopt
To bear their fruit, my Vine I
To bear such blessed fruit of love
As tenderly increased
Among the ripe vine bunches of
Your buluiy breathing breast.
We Cannot boat to huve bickered liot
Since you and I were weil ;

Nor found ttiH dimmest bed !

With wings that slept oo Iragrant airs
Through all the happy hours.

THE WAR IN MISSOURI.
HlDsoM Mo., Sept 23. The following
account of the siege of Lexington ia furnished
to the bt. Louis Republican, by Henry
Lirail bur ii, one of Colonel Mulligan's soldiers,
who left Lexuigtou on Saturday morning.
I ue but was stirreuilered on rriday after
noon. I he men biugbt jor utty nine hours
without water, aud had only three barrels ol
viuegar to quench their thirst.
Uunng uli thul lime there were uo springs
or wells of water in the camp ground, aa ha
been staled The supply of water was
entirely from the river. There were hrean
works ull arouud Ibe camp, with tbe excep
tion of lh portion next tbe river, li was
here that the hardest lighting took pUce.
Tie Rebel procured a large numbor of
hemp bales aud rolled tbem IU advance and
uuder their cover graduully succeeded in
securing a position in the rear They then
cut oil the supply of water and bad the fort
completely surrounded.
I bey made but lew charges upon the
bieuslworks during the entire siege. Their
object seemi d lo be to surround the fort and
cut oil llio supply of water.
Having succeeded in this, they awaited
until Colonel Mulligan was compelled to
yield to a loe more terrible lhau the 27.00(1
Ut-bel who surrounded bun. Previous to bis
surreuder be ottered lo take a position on a
level spot of ground sod give General Price
the odds of lour to one in a fail opea ti.bl,
but no attention wus pud to it.
lri.vcT, HI.. Sept 24 The list of the
killed at Lexington, as far as ascertained, is
aa follows :
First Illinois Cavalry. Privates Charles
W. W bite, Samuel G. Hernial, l. Nettle.
J R Palmer. G W. Davis, William II
McDonel, Cyrus K.Tregu, C. Scbouble, John
tlurly, Daniel Sheely.
The horses aud all the arms were rutaiued
by Gen. Price.
Communication with Gen. Prentiss la still
out oil', nothing having been beard from bun
Since yesterday.
Military meo to-re do not regard the simple
capture of Lexington as injuries, but, iu a
mere military poiul of view, tbiok it to our
advantage.
Extracts of a 8peech of Daniel B.
Dickinson.
The following exir&tttare from Ihe speech
of Daniel 8. Dickinson, at a great meeting
in New York city, on Friday, the 20th alt t
He had never voted an oppusitinn ticket,
in whole nr iu part, in hia life. And when
ever the Democratic prty had been divided
he had always at Inched himself to that
portion of it thut he demed most national.
No bastard Democracy for bim, and no
spurious Democral either and he would
drag all such lio'o their hiding places. He
would tear the Veil froti the faces nf their
Mnkannas and show t lie in np in all good
time to the popular iiidgnatinn. (Cheers.)
If New York was on fire, and lh destructive
element was raging, th tre engines arriving,
and the fire bell giving out the dinger on
every hand, who, under fnch circumstance!
would wait to inquire whether the bouse on
fire was that nl a Democrat or a Republican,
or to what political partj tbe inmates be.
longed? It a great pestilmce was devasta
ting ttie land it the people were all being
shovelled into a common sepulchre together
end con&ternatinn reigned on every side,
would they undertake to ground political
parties on it ? No; ihey would act together
and pray to heuveu to avert the common
calamity. But they were threatened with
an evil tenfold more dangerons than pesti.
letice, fire or famine. The government of
Washington ihe only gr"ot free government
00 eurlh was threulened with destruction.
A great army was in the field to put it down.
A mighty rebellion, with nil the elements or
war. was thirsting for its overihrow ; and
right in the midst of these dau'erA, they saw
t-curvy politicians attempting to aid their
enemies, ut whom the slow onmoving finger
or scorn shull be pointed, und who ehll be
scourged from the temple of liberty with u
scourge of cords. The great patriotic heart
of the people must rise nbove the miserable
consideral uinv of parly, and net together.
Anil trhofvtr attempts, under any vame, or
designation, or any pretence whatsoever, to
tnttourutje parties nl thin time, is an enemy to
the. country ami very lillie bi tter than an oju n
traitor. ( I itiihet.se cheering ) The rebellion
has ulreudy gained on its terrible proportioned
from the aid und comfort unit encouragement
It bus found iu the treachery of a mincreiuit
pre-. it iius to'in.l aid and comlort iu
compromise, und in other attempts lo aid it
ol one Dame nr mud her
The party 8 inp ithiring with rebellion tell
you lluit the President of the United Stales'

nothing of their turn President M r. Confede
rate President DaviK Oh. no j he has not
violated the const tution, but Ahrahutu
Lincoln has. How? In attempting to dis-pog-
of bimI put down an infernal lehellion.
(Cheers) In doing this the President com
mitted, in t lie eyes of the pence party, an
unpardonable sio. He would tell litem that
the President wnM Ihvh done e great ser
vice if, ulntiii wiih suspending I tie batieus
corpii; act, he hud Mi-pend (1 some of the
peace pirty nnd apologists of the rebellion.
(Cheer ami cries ,, I lint's good " Better
late tli mi never, however. (l...uuliier and
cries ot " I'bat's SO.") If the PreBluellt hail
done less, he would have been open to
impeachment. It was Ins duty to Seizo every
traitorous spy, spotted and leprous, who was
attempting to break down the constitution,
aud lo punish them. n ordinary limes the
press had a right to discuss freely the mea
sure of the government, Bud that was what
was meant hy tbe liberty of Ihe press. It
was one thing to discuss the principles of a
government, and nuutber thing to sap and
uesiroy a government. And when the press
attempts to apologise f..r and stimulate
rebellion, it was guilty nf treason, und the
duty of the President of the United States
wa to put it down. (Applause.)
He had seer, iIim accuised serpent of re
hellion from the moment it wu hatched, and
Dow he would live to see it God grant it
crushed into the very eBrth (Enthusiastic
applause) They who aided It directly or
indirectly, were as guilty as those who were
in arms against the government. I too, said
he, am opposed to war so much opposed to
it that ! would, if possible, bring out the
red artillery of heaven to ctunh this rehellioti.
(Good ) But yesterday a young bride was
called on to wreathe her brniiil flowers with
widow's weeds ; and you. peace me-i, are the
cause of her st rrow. Raise jour blood red
bands if you can, you inlnuioue wretches, and
aid this rebellion flintier (Cheers.) He
cared not for political men or deeds in this
grout emergency. Let every man do his
duty. Let I he wail of children go on, an I
let the moan of woman's prayer be heard in
Heaven. The bow of promise arched itself
in the distance. IJnd protect Ihe ship of
State in this her hour of peril, fcihe is safe,
she is sate! TIih buttle is won. And he who
has fought with me, who has fiuiahed his
course, and has kept the l.iith. has done bet
ter thun all the miserable politirul organiza
tinns III existence. The people and ptess or
Great Britaio are attempting, out of pure
euvy, to annoy this great republic, but they
will timi, when Ihe spirit of the American
people is aroused, that if Hint wus lo become
the question, they would cut the fast anchored
i-le of Great Britain from ber moorings
(Cheers.) 1 trust a belter spirit will prevail.
1 trust that Great Britain will learn Ihe
difference belweeu an infamous cul-throal
rebellion and one of the greet Powers of Ihe
earth as a free government. Whenever she
does that and doe it manfully ami thoroughly,
1 urn prepired to acknowledge the otdigaliou
we shall owe her; but when I see her
attempting to give every back door aid and
comfort to domestic traitors. I intend t,o
arraign her before the judgnfjeul of tbe
civilized world.
A Rotired Queen.
A correspoudeul of the London Times
thus describe tbe ex-Queen ol Naples in Ucr
exile j
Those who have, as I have, gazed with
interest on the mild. soQiewhat arch, yet
ingenuous countenance of the ex Cjueeu of
Naples as it appeared two years ago portray
ed in tbe Alinanach de Ctoiha, tliore whose
best feeling were enlisted in behalf of a
true-hearted German girl, doomed to waste
her sweetness in a court of which Ferdiuand
1 1, was the head, must hear a ith regret the
reports current in ibis count ly about I t
present doings. Married to a better husband
brarssed with uhildieu. placed in other bands,
under proper Control, Sophia might have
been equal to any fate ; hut the applause he
slowed upon the show of bravery by which
lie illustrated the fall of ber husband's boose
have been tun much for her. Tbe laurel

eraceful. She hectors her sisters in law and
has pitched battles nh the Princt-s and
Princesses of the House of Itonrbon The
members of the exiled family have constant
bickerings among themselves; they peck at
each oiher like chickens tied, to the same
string and dangling from the bund of the
honsewife who e carrying them to market

Early Decay of American Women--Mrs.
Stowe. in her book of travels in Ku
rnpn, makes the following sensible remarks
oboot the comparative beauty of the women
of England and America :
A lody asked tne Ihe other evening wh.it I
thought of the bounty of the Kngltsh ansto
cracy; she was a Scotch lady, tiy-the by, so
thai the question w is a fair one. I replied
that certainly r port hud not exaggerated
their charms. Then came home question
how the ladles of England compared with
Ihoae of Arnenca? '-Now lor it, patriotism,"
said I to myself, and invoking to my aid cer
tain fair saints of my own country, whose
faces I distinctly remembered, I assured ber
that 1 had never seen more beautiful women
than I had in America. Grieved was I to
add, '-hut ynnr ladies keep Iheir beauty much
longer." The fact stares one in the face in
every company; one meets ludies pagt fifty,
glowing, radiant and blooming, with a fresh
ness of complexion and fullness of outline
refreshing to :ontemplate. What can be the,
reason? Tell us 'Muses and Graces, wbal
Can it be ? Is it the conservative power of
sea-fog and coal smoke, the same which keeps
the turf green, and makes the ivy and holly
flourish? How conies it that our married
ludies dwindle, fade und grow thin, thai their
noses incline, to sharpness, and their elbows
to angularity, just at the time ol life when
their island sisters round out into a enmfor
table and becoming amplitude and fullness ?
If it 18 the coul and sea-fog, why then
I am afraid we shall never come up with
tbem.
But perhaps there may be other causes
why a country which starts snme of tbe most
beautiful girls in the world, produces so few
beautiful women. Have not our close.
BtovH heated room: something to do with it ?
Above all, has not our climate, with its
alternate extremes ol heat and cold, a tendeo
cy to indue- habits of indolence ? Climate,
certainly has a great deal to do with it ;
ours is evidently more trying and more
exhausting, and because it is so. we should
not pile upon its hack errors of drefS and
diet which are avoided by our neighbors
They keep their beauty because they keep
their health. It has been aa remarkable to
me as anything, since I have been bere, thai I
do not constantly, as at home, hear one and
another spoken of aa in miserable health,
very delicate, Ac. Health seems to be the
rule, and not the exception For my part 1
must say the most favorable omen I know of
for female beauty in America is the uiellipli
calioa of water cure eslablishmeats. where
our ladies, if they get nothing eUe, do gain
some ideas as to the necessity of fresh air,
regular exercise, simple diet, aud tbe laws of
hygiene in general

man, from Dauphin county, Pa , who, though
seventy eight years of age, is still hearty and

meet hia, relations and frieuds who have "gone

every attention paid to his comfort by bis
friends. During hia stay tbe old gentleuiao
frequently remarked that it would afford him
much pleasuie to see General Scott. Tbougb

are carefully avoided, yet his desire wae so
great that bis friends deeided to ask for an in

Col James A. Mulliaan.
The following sketch of Col, James A
Mulligan, the brave defender of Lexington,
Mo., nas been furnisher! to the Detroit
Advertiser, from a gentleman who bs been
intimately acquainted with hiui for the past
C ve or su years :
Col. James A Mulligan was bnrr in the
City of U licit. New York, ill IbM lonrlH'JU
anil it cot.seq lently iu k- tbirlv. second year.
!Hi paifoits were umiv. s or Ireland. "His

fur the past twenty three year She mar
rind a resectable Irish American in Chicago,
named .J ;chel Laotry, wko bas steadily
welched with a f.ther's solicitude the
p ti ding mind of the brave young soldier.
He was educated at tb Catholic College of
North Chicago, under tbe superintendence of
the Rev. Mr. Kinsellar, now or New York
city. He is a strict member of the Catholic
church. In 1802. 18.5U, ad 1854. he read
law in the office of tbe Hon. Isaac N. Arnold,
Congressman from the Chicago district. For
a short time he edited the Western Toilet, a
snmi religious weekly newspaper, iu Ckncaio.
Io 18"6 he was admitted an attorney at law
In Chicago. A I ibis time he held tb? position
of second lieutenant in tbe Chicago Sbielde
Giiads, one nf tbe companies attached lo tbe
Iribh brigade, now in Uis-ouri, and which
hag done so well at Lexington. In tbe
winter of 18"7, Senator Fitch, of Indiana,
tendered him clerkship in the Depurtmeul
of the Interior, lie accepted the position,
and spent the winter at Washington. During
his residence in Washington be corresponded
with the Utica Telegraph, over the nnn tie
plume of 'Satan." Alter hi return from
Washington he was elected captain of tbe
Shields Guards. On tbe news arriving of
the bombardment of Fort Sumter, h threw
his soul into the national cause. The Irish
American companies held a meeting, of whom
he wus chairman. Shortly afterwards be
went to Washington with a letler, written
by the late Senator Douglas on hit death
bed, to the Presioent, tendering a regimcut
to he called the ' Irish Brigade." lie was
elected Colonel, and immediately went to
work with a will. The course of tlia "Uri.
i'Bde," up to the buttle of Liiugtnn. is well
known ; it has nobly, bravely, aud booorably
done im duly.
Col. Mulligan is worthy of all praise. A
purer, a better tnun, does not live io the
State of Illinois. Since he w, able to tell
the diSerence between ale and water, glass
of spirttuoua or tnalt liquor bas not passed
hn lips. He is rigid temperance man,
all hough in.- ia jocund and whole-souled lo
fault. He is six feet three inches in height,
wilb a wiry, elastic frame. a large, lustrous,
hniel eye. an open, frank Celtic face,

way by uoliring industry and unquestionable
courage. On the 'Jbih day of October, 16:"i9.

the Roman Catholic Bishop of Chicago.
A tine scholar, a good speaker, a brilliant
writer, a promising lawyer, was he when the
banner or the Union was insulted. Now be
is long may he continue eo one of ihe
brave defenders of the Union. Ia one of hit
last letters received by the gentleman above
ullnded to, he says: "If 1 die, I full in
defence of our laws and Constitution, let my
example he followed by all by every man
who loves the fame and renown of the fathers
who made us a great and honored people."
Pleasures of Picket Duty.
A correspondent of the New York Trilmne
descrihes the pleasures of picket d-.iiy and
excitements which attend it. According lo
his view the Michigan troops are about the
best fellows at this kind of work. They lie
in pits about six feet long and one deep, with
the earlh thrown op in front as a breastwork.
I lie men when they first go out are nervous
and cautious, but twenty four hours are
enough to get them used to the business, to
a- to be able to estimute its risks and guard
against its dangers. They prefer a corn field
for picket duty, both Tar its protection and its
rodder, and the denuded corn-cobs are ranged
alone the earthen breastworks in imitation
of cannon and make quite a formidable array.
Here the pickets lie watching an opportunity
to try their skill upon a "secesh," occasionally
varying -the amusement by dancing or
waving their bals upon a corn stalk, to
irritate their enemies The first species of
amusement is fretpiently interrupted by the
necessity of dropping down so soon a they
seethe smoke of a rifle or hear the singing
of a Minia ball The r ige which is sometimes
excited by these provokinganaoifestations is
very amusing, and sometimes the "secesher"
is incautious enough to show it in a way
which brings half a dozen rifles bearing upon
his person, and generally with an effect that
quiets bim. Describing these operations he
says :
Fur half an hour, they say aff.ira have now
heen rat her quiet ; hut something is expected
soon. Soon, indeed. "Down," is the word
again, and this lime not ooe, but half a score
of bullets rush by and overhead. "That's
the prima donna," says one. It seems they
have learned to accurately distinguish the
sound of one kind of hall from another. A
rifle is a much more cheerful weapon than
mere musket. It tings The muket only
grumble and buzzes. One rfla sings ho
shrilly and sharply that the call U the prima
donna. "Prymer domier" is their way of
putting it. Hut to tb warm salute tbey
make oo immediate response. Presently
another of the tame description comet, end
now tbey think it ueeds attention. The
weapins are carefully sighted, resting on the
breastworks, the meo kneeling. One after
another they pop oil in Ihe direction of Ibe
nearest rebel lint. There ia notound thence
for five or ten minutes ; but, with a glass we
toon tee three men moving slowly up Ihe hill
one feebly and druopiuyly supported by the
two others.
Perceiving an unusually large group npon
corner of the rebel earthwork, one of our
men prepares himslf for a long shot. After
adjusting his piece; with the tight elevated to
the full one thousand yards, he i about to
fire, when a Companion, who is spying through
a glass, say; "Hold op. women up wuiofij
thetn !" The rifleman lays down h's pi-ce
with a tigb he bad been sure ot scattering
them that time. It always happens that the
shot which I interrupted, nipped in the bar
rel, as it were, it just tbe one which would
have done more damage than any other shot
on record, bad it ouly got fairly off. Tbe
rifleman will have tome kiod of sport for
compensation. He retreat within tbe coru
field, cute a corn stalk, trims it, and, return,
log. perches hit cap upon the end, and bobs
it above bit rampant. It instantly becomes
become a mark for rebel veugeauce. After
a tcore or two of tbott have been discharged
straight at it, be alowly pushes it ofl aloft
eight feet or to, disclosing the full etttot of
the corn stalk, whilB ni cnmpmioni Jump
