Oh! must I die on this sea-wash'd shore?
Where . the wild winds moan, and mad waves

On the moss-clad bank of singing stream.
Where the shadows cool at evening fall

Of the moss-crowned kirk, whose tiny spire
Gleams in the sun like a flame of fire.

Like the bright breast of a fairie sea '
And the wild bird trills its mournful lay
O'er the graves of lov'd ones pass'd away,
I'd fondly dreaad that my lowly tomb
Should bs deck' d with flowers of sweetperfume;

Should beddew my grave with affection's tear.

From the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Captain Fowler, of the Sixth Michigan regi

Shore of Yirgtnia, bringinr , with him as a pris
oner, Col. B. T. Gunter, of, ACcomac county.
Col. G. was Coininonwealth's . Attorney of Ac
comae, audi, Colonel of militia. Some time since
he went to Richmond, and recently ran the block
ade. As he was very defiant, and seemed dispos
ed to excite new : trouble in the county, Gen. Lock-
Wood thought it expedient to send him to Geu.
Dig. He has been sent to Fort McHenry. Four or
five others had recently returned from Richmond,
and had, been retained in custody by Gen.
Lockwood. , Affairs remained quiet M both Ac
comae and Northampton comities. All the
arms in the possession of the militarrhad been
secured, and it was believed the people. would

'LADIES' HEALTH.—In an article in preserving
health •in G-ocky's Lady's Bbok, says there are
two faults characteristic of :American women,
one to negleet to exercise and the other a too
thin style of dress in winter. ' Every female,
who can possiblyr do it,' ought 'to walk in the
°ilk air mom one to'two hours every day. If
suitable clothing was worn, and especially if the
feet were propeily protected, a daily walk, even
in winter, would be more conducive to health
and loveliness than all the panaceas ever con
cocted, or all the drugs prescribed' y the facul
ty. It would give elasticity to the step, bloom
to the cheidt-, brilliancy to the eyei'gay spirits,
brightne'ss , of intellect, sound alturmers i every
blessing, in short, that vigorous physical health
bestows, and of which, alas, so many- American
women practically know nothing. Vitality
would be strong and high, the definition of
which in most cases is the beginning of con
sumption. 'rhe lungs, too, would haVe needful
play, for no one can go out, on a bracing winter
morning, without imitating the lungs fully; and
the air at such times is always this purest. If
you would escape pulmonary complaints, ladies,
if you would live to a good old age, if you would
enjoy life while living, if you would add to your
personal charms, dress:warm and dry, and take
daily exercise in the open Mr. Let nothing
keep you:in doors but inclement weather ; but
be always clothed to defy cold and wet, especi
ally tb your feet.
The same writer also gives these reasons why
ladies should read newspapers: It is a great
mistake in female education to keep a young
lady's time and attention devoted to only the•
fashionable literature of the day.• If you would
quality her for conversation, you:must give her
something to talk about—give her education
with the actual world and its transpiring events.
Urge her to read the newspapers and Decome

ment of- our race. History is oi some import
ante; but the past'world is dead, and we have
nothing to do with it. Our thoughts and our
concerns should be for- the present world, to
know what it is, and improve the condition ot
it. Let:her have an intelligent opinion, and be
able to sustain au:intelligent conversation con
cerning the mental, mora4, political and reli
gious improvement of our times. Let the gil
ded annuals and poems on the centre-table be
kept apart of the time covered ' with weekly
and daily journals. Let the whole family—men
women and children—read the newspapers.
VRT.ANCIEIOLIE Arpera.—Two privates, belong

THE LONDON TIMES ON THE
IHE EXPORT OF GUNPOWDER, NITRE,
SALTPETRE, 40., PROHIBITED
The royal mail steamer Eurripa has arrived at
this point with highly important intelligence.
She was detained at Queenstown till the 2nd,
by order of the .government.
She has the Queen's messenger on board with
despatches for Lord Lyons.
LONDON, Dec. 1.--The Observer stated that the
Government has demanded from President Lin
coln and his Cabinet the restoration of the per
sons of the southern envoy*to the British Gov
ernment.. . ,
Yesterday afternoon; after 5 o'clock p. m ,
her Majesty field a private:council it 'Windsor
Castle.! Three of her Albaisters, including the
first Lord of the. Admiralty and , the Secretaries
of State and :War travelled from London to
Windsor by special train to be present. Pre
vious to leaving town the three ministers had
attended a Cabinet council at Lord Palmerston's
official ,residence. • . .
The Observer also say's that a special • messen
ger of the foreign office has been ordered to
carry to Washington the demands of the British
Government for Lord Lyons and will proceed
to day by packet from Queenstown. The public
will be satisfied to know that these demands
are for an apology and.to insist on. the restitu
tion to the, protection to the British flag the
persons of those who were Violently and illegal
ly torn, from that sacred asylum.
The Observer adds there is no reason why they
should;not be restored to the quarter-deck of
the British Admiral at New York, or. Washing
ton itself in the face of some ten or twelve men
of war, whose presence in the Potomac would
render thellustering Cabinet at Washington as
helpless - as the Trani was before the guns and
cutlasses of the ,San Jacinto: It is no fault of
ours if it should come even to this.
The arrangements for increasing the force in
Canads are not yet complete, ,but in a very few
hourd everything will be settled.. In the mean
time a large ship, the Melbourne; has been ta
ken up and is now being loaded with Armstrong
guns, some 80,000 Enfield rifles, ammunition,
and other stores at .Woolwich. It is not im
possible that'this vessel will be• eseorted by one
or two ships of war.: The rifles, are intended
for the. Canadian military, and a strong rein
forcement of field artillery will be dispatched
forthwith. .
The Times' city article of .• the 30th, sags the
position of the Federal. States of. America, is al
most identical in every commercial point with
that which was occupied towards us by Russia
before the Crimea war. Russia had a hostile
tariff while we looked to her for a large portion
of our general supply of breadstuffs ; but there
is this peculiarity in our present case,
that the commencement.would be by the break
ing up of the blockade of the southern ports at
once setting free our industry front the anxiety
of the cotton famine and giving sure prosperity
to Lancashire through the winter. At the same
time we shall open our trade to eight millions
in the confederate States, who desire nothing
better than to be our customers. •
At the privy council held on Saturday an or
der was issued prohibiting: the export from the
United Kingdom, or carrying coast-wise gen
powder, saltpetre name of soda and brimstone.
The Times has no hope that the Federal Goy
ernmeut will comply with the demands of Eng
land.
The Morning Star declares that the state
ment of instructions having been sent v 9 Lord
Lyons to obtain the restitution of the Confede
rate Commissioners or to take leave of Wash
ington, was premature and so exaggerated as
to be virturlly untrue. The Liverpool Courcer
believesthat the Warrior has been ordered to
Annapolis with the ultimatum of the govern
ment. •
SEG'OND D/SPATOII
The steamer Jura arrived on the 29th ult
The London 217ner in alluding to the deCision
of the British Cabinet, that the arrest of Mason
and Slidell is a clear violation of the law of na
tions, believes that Lord Lyons will be instruct
ed by the first steamer to demand reparation,.
and if not complied with, will be instructed to
withdraw the legation from Washington.

squally: night the Sumter had slipped through
the fingers of the Dacotah and Iroqiiois and
gone no one knew where. The escape is va-
riously accounted for. According to one ac
count ai French war -steamer came out of St.
Pierre during the night, and the Iroquois gave
chase, and when daylight came the latter dis
covered his mistake, but in the meanwhile tile
iurnter:had i.tolen. away, and neither the Da
cotah nor the Iroquois could give any account
of her.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS.
PRESENTATION OF A. FLAG TO THE 28d
PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENT.
Impoitant Decision of 'tha keoretary
TEE VAN WYCK INVESTIGATING
Colonel Murphy's 16th New York Regiment,
made some interesting experiments to day, near
the Navy Yard, to show with what facility' the
means for crossing rivers, can be arranged.
A pontoon bridge, three hundred and sixty
feet long, was thrown over the Eastern Branch
of the Potornoc, upon which the regiment with
heavy wagons passed with perfect safety. A
number of floats were plied over the river, the
soldiers using shovels as propellors.
The. Twenty Third regiment of Pennsylvania,
commanded,by Col. Biuney, was presented to
day with a flag, the gift of that State. The
presentation speech was made by Speaker Grow,
and the flag received in behalf of the regiment
by Hon. Wm. D. Belly of Philadelphia. These
eloquent addresses were listened to by a
large auditory. The grounds were teaefully
adorned, and ample provisions provided for all
the military •as well as the civilians present.
An important decision has just been made by
the Secretary of War , and the Paymaster Gene
ra. The decision is, in effect, that a soldier is
entitled to pay from the day he enlists, and that
he is not to waft until his company is full or the
formal muster of the regiment into Government
service. '
The previous practice—that of considering
pay only due from the date of the mustering in
of the full company—has deprived the soldiers
of a considerable amount of pay and has re-

LATER INTELLIGENCE
BALTIMOB.E, Dee. 16
We learn from the Captain of the NorfOlk
boat that he was informed by the Captain of the.
steamer Illinois from Fort Royal, that he passed
within 6 miles of Charleston harbor at ten o'-
clock on Thursday night,and that a tretnenduous
conflagration was evidently at its highest in
that city. The reflection on the clouds exceed
ed anything he ever saw, and the whole bay,
with the dark outlines of Fort Sumter, was
brightly illuminated. It did not appear like
reflection from smouldering ruins, but from an
uncontrollable conflagration. This is later than
the Norfolk Day Book dispatch. ..:
FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
FORTELSS MOMWE, Dec. 15
No flag of truce was sent out to• day. No
further particulars of the Charleston fire. The
steamer. Illinois arrived from Port Royal this
afternoon, and reports pilot boat Richard Blunt,
