How little recks it where men die, When once the moment’s past, Id which the dim and glazing eyo Has looked on earth its last; The coffined form shall rest. Or, in its nakedness, return Back to its mother's breast. Death is a common friend or foe. As different men may hold : .And at his summons ench must go— The timid and the bold! -But when the spirit free and wanq Deserts it, as it must— 'What matter where the lifeless form Dissolves again to dust? | The soldier falls ‘mid corsesjiilod Upon the battle plain, , - Where restless war-steeds gallop wild Among the mangled slain"; Bui though bis corse be grim to sec, Hoot trampled on the sod, "What recks it, when the spirit free Has soared aloft to Gon. The coward's dying eve may close Upon his downy bed. And softest bands bis limbs compose, . Or garments o'er them spread; But ye who shun the iiloody fray. Where fell the mangled brave, Go—strip bis coffin lid away, And see him in bis grave? . 'Twcre sweet indeed to close our eyes With those who cherish near, And wafted upwards by their sighs .Soar to some calmer sphere; But whether on the scaffold high, - Or in the battle van, The fittest place where man can die, - Is where be dies for man. A Story, for tho Ladies. “ Faster, faster 1 your horses creep like snails! drive for your life !” cried the impa tient Morley, as the noble animals be so slan dered dashed along,the pebbly road, while the sparks flew from their hoofs like a flight of fire flies. The postillion, with voice and whip, put them to the top of their speed—and the chaise, in its rapid conrse, left beh’nd it a trail of light as though its wheels bad.been ignited. , A high and steep hill in front at length en forced a' moderate gait* when Morley, as if struck by a sudden recollection, turned his head anxiously toward his companion, a lovely young woman, who, pale, silent and motion less, reclined on his shoulder. - “Ellen, my love,”-said M»rley, tenderly, “I I fear tbis will prove too muuh for your.tcnder - There was no reply. ' Mnrley leaned his face hearers, to hers; and, i by the moonbeams, saw that her features were 1 fixed, her open eyes gassing on vacancy, while | the tears which had' recenlly streamed from i them seemed congealed upon . her- bloodless cheeks “ God of Heaven!” exclaimed Morley, means this?, Ellen, beloved and adored ! do you not bear me? Will you not speak to me ! —to Morley, your Morley ?” And he gently pressed her in his arms. The name he uttered, like a charm, dissolved the spell which bound her. [A long-drawn sigh, as if . struggling from a broken heart,, escaped her lips, a fresh fountain of.tears burst forth, and with a hysteric sob she feil.upon this bosom of her lover. . .. - The alarmed but enraptured. Morley folded her in,his arms, and bent to kiss away her tears —when with a sudden start she disengaged herself from his embrace,.and, drawing back, looked wildly and earnestly ;in bis face, j - “ Morley,” she said, in a voice of thrilling tone, “do you love me ?” ■' . : - “ Dearest, best Ellen,” “ do you,’ can you doubt it ?’,’ “Do you love me, Morley 7". she repeated, with increased eneiyy.- “ Truly—devotedly—madly—” cried Mor ley, on his knees. “By the heaven which is shining o’er us." ’’ “ No more oaths, and enough of protesta tions. Are you willing by one- action at this moment to prove that I am truly dear to yon ?” “ I am, thbngh it carry with it my .destruc tion 1” “ I ask not yonr destruction, but implore you to prevent mine. Return I” Morley gazed at her as if doubting his sense of hearing.’ -“Return?” { Return instantly!” “Ellen, are you serious—are you” he might have added, “ in yoor senses ?” hut she inter rupted him. . • “ I am serious, and not mod, nor inconstant,” she added, reading the expression which was arising on M»rley’s> countenance. “That I lore, and in that love am incapable of change, do not, Morley, insult me by doubting, even by a look. But, oh, if you love me as you ought, as you have sworn, to do, as a roan of honor, I implore you lb take me back to roy father.” “ To your father 1” exclaimed Morley, almost unconscious of wbat he said. • “ Ay, to tny father, my gray-headed; tnydio ting, my confiding father; take me to him be fore bis heart is broken by the child ha loves. I have been with him,” she cried, in wild ago ny, “even as I lay in your arms, spell bound in a trance, while the carriage rolled on to my perdition. I could neither move nor speak, but I knew where I was, and. whither I was hurry ing ; yet even then ,was I with my father,” she said, with o voice -and look of supernatural so lemnity. “He lay on his death-bed ; his eye, turned upon me—his fixed and glaring eye—it rested upon me as I lay in your arms he cursed me, and died I His malediction yet rings in my ears—his eye is now upon me. ..Morley, for the, love of Heaven, is too late —” ‘‘.Compose yourself, my beloved, my. own Ellen.”' ‘ ~' , *. “ ‘‘Doyou still hesitate,” she cried; "and would you still: soothe my frantic soul with words —your Ellen ? -Short-sighted man; Ellen 1 Wbat shall bind her-to.a husband who could abandon a father—what power mastra hs form the jren.fgadfl daughter into ,thd. faithfu' iS&tSCCllattg.

He was confounded—subdued. The fatigued horses bad labored .about mid way rip the acclivity, when Morleyr: called to the postillion, . *.* Tarn yoar horses’ heads; we shall retnrn.” The steeds seemed, to acquire renewed vigor from the'alteration in their course, and were proceeding at a brisk pace oa their return, when Ellen again: revived. , U Where, am I, add whither am-I.carried7” she wildly.exclaimed. • , ■ . “To your father, 1 my beloved,” whispered ‘Hurley. 1 . To my father, Morloy, to myfather? Can it be 7 .But no, I will not doubt; you never deceived me—you.cannot. God bless you, Mor ley I God bless you, my brother, my dear bro ther.” And with her pure arras around his neck,' she imprinted a sister's holy kiss upon his lips, and, dissolved*!!! delicious tears, sank with the confidence of conscious innocence upon bis bosom.-. The. ethereal influence of .virtue fell like a balm upon the tumultuous feelings of the lovers—and never in the wildest moment of passion, not even when he first heard the avowal of love from his heart’s ' selected,* bad Motley felt so triumphantly happy. * * * * .“•Where ia ho—let me see him—is he alive— is he well?’' ahrielsed Ellen, as,she rushed into the bouse of her fiither. “Fur-whom do you enquire, madam,” coldly asked the female ;-she addressed, the maiden sister of Ellen’s, - “ Aunt, dear aupt, dApot speak to me thus. lam not what you think me.

The good aunt partook of the general joy, and even Ellenls favorite dog seemed to ’thank her father fur his kindness to its dear mistress. The happy father sat with his arm round his daughter’s waist, and, as he pressed her lover’s hand, ho said; “Behold in all this the goodness of God— and see the blessings which follow the perform ance of our duty.

Prom the 45th Pennsylvania Bogimeni. Friend Agitator :—The mail boy having josf announced that the mail would leave camp this afternoon, I hurriedly send you this. We are . now in line of battle, behind rifle pits, in a pin# grove, between the Pamunkey river and Rich mond. The enemy-is confronting ns in his for tifications. Skirmishing is going on briskly in front of us. Occasionally a minnia comes whis tling through the branches, and passes harm lessly above us, or strikes into our pits. At regular intervals the loud roar of cannon, th# screeching of shells, and the crashing sound of grape, cutting down the timber all around us, reminds one of his position. Leaving Spott sylvania on the 22d ult,, we arrived at the ij’i Anna river, near Hanover junction, at day break on the 24th. Our advance had driven the rebels across the river, and gained a foot hold on the opposite aide, having prevented the destruction of the bridge, by our sharpshoot ers driving the graybacks from it when in the act of firing it. At 5 p.m. our corps crossed, amidst a shower of shells, which fortunately were aimed too high, and burst without effect ing any considerable damage. Forming in line, we erected rifle pits within easy range of the enerpy’s works, and remained until 22 p.m. on the 26th, when, the enemy having retreated, we were withdrawn, and early on the 27th took np our line of march southward. A two days' march brougbt us to the Pamunkey river, which we crossed on pontoons at 1 a.m. on the 29tb. On the 28th, a bloody encounter toot place be tween onr cavalry and Ewell’s corps, on tb« south bank of the river. The rebels were dri ven hack, and our army is safely across, and steadily advancing towards Bie.hmond. Since the sth of May, when Grant first inau gurated his campaign, by the battle of the Wil derness, fighting has been continuous between the two armies. Not a day has passed without more or less fighting or skirmishing. Univer sal confidence in Grant is openly expressed by all, officers and men, of this army. By a suc cession of brilliant roanceuvers, he has driven the rebel army to the gates of their capital t having thus far eluded to meet them in their fortifications, and compelled Lee to fail back, or be cut off. ' Richmond is about twelve miles from out front. Undoubtedly every inch of ground will be defended, stubbornly and desperately, by the rebels; but with a superior army, led by a chieftain who knows no such word as defeatt and tho prestige of victory to cheer ns on, W#. have every reason to hope for final triumph,r— through it mav emit "'eovArnnS of precious blood, which are yet destined to stain tue plain# of Virginia, in order to accomplish what wef have undertaken and mean to go through with. Thus far, we have driven the enemy, whenever he has made a stand, and repelled all of hi# attacks. The region of country between Richmond nnd Spottsylvonia ia generally under cultiva tion. Corn and wheat are the principal crops raised. The darkies say that “ Bob” Lee told them to plant their corn and sow their grain, and that he would keep the Yankees from dis turbing their crops. Corn is getting to bo nearly knee high, and wheat is nearly fall grown and headed. Forests are plentiful, the timber being principally pine, oak and cedar. We have generally been favored with plenty .of good water, from springs or rivulets. Tha wea ther has for the last week been pleasant, but rather too warm for comfort. Roads are dusty; which makes marching tedious and disagreea ble. Foraging is not first rate, there being but little left in the country to take. Occasionally, however, requisitions are made by the boys on some planters’ hen roosts, herds of cattle, sheep' nr hogs. Nothing can be bought, at any price. Oii,. to use the. language of the southerners themselves, “ everything is alldona gone.” Rebel prisoners are generally welt slothed; and have plenty of corn bread 1 : in their haver sacks. ; Many have qor knapsacks, haversacks, blankets, and some our clothing. They are variously armed; but have good guns and car ' tridges, far superior to ours. Tha majority ap pear to bo glad to get into our and ac knowledge that they are “ done gone whipped out.”' White many still cling to their hopeeof,| final victory, and openly avow their intention to fight us. to the last. r No further casualties have occurred inCov G, except that sergeant Davis was slightly wounded, -in the chin, by a spent ball, while lying in a rifle pic yesterday. Several of the regiment have been killed and wonnded since leaving Spollsylvrtuia. The boys are feeling pretty well, considering circumstances. It is but seldom that we get a mail, and more seldom that letters can be sent out. But the' postboy is about to start; and I most 11 winii up.” Excuse brevity and errors.
