And coentl- , esthe sceptres thu . sway ;
From the stiffened form on the coral het.
In the Oteati , a breast waere the wild waves play,
And the graveyard moupd, and the marbled name,
And the namelms grave on the spray-wrest/IAI shore,
To the t mb in the heart, where a hallowed flame
le bathi'g with beauty the sour-sky o , er.,—
Oome voices whose echoes never We fled; ' •
That meeker' the toe ee of the sceptered dead_
There's a sea and a sky to the Realms of the Dead,
Where beauty and sadness dwell;
'Where the purple and,gold of the cloud ire wed ,
To the tray of the Waves, as they wildly Volt' "
Oaths Alt es-grown rocks o'er the pebly:strand,.'..
Through the eavern , s depths where the wind is at
rest. , .
'When they dab out pearls - from their nee's in the sand,
And bury them deep in their own cold breast,—
These waves have , echoes that newer fled,
Awakrniug the tones of the sceptered Dead.
The depthi of our hearts are the Realms of the Dead,
The sea is the waves of love,
The soft Wards we spoke are thei pearly bed,
And the stj is the faces above.
Their voiees autdeeds are the sceptres that sway,
Our souls , both with gladness and pain ;
'Wen the Heavens are dark and the waves rush awa y ,
We wllf Het in the calm for those voices ' •
Those voices whose echoes never are lied, .
Reawakening the tone of the sceptered Dead.

AMOhO THE DEAD AT POMPEII?
The disentotebed city of Pompeii presents
*Objects of commandinginterest to the stranger
and traveler, such as he can hardly find else
where among the ruined cities , of, the world.—
When we walked among the ruins, some yelps
'since, three miles of streets had 'been opened
to thelight'of the sun, which had remained
buried for eighteen centuries. The walls - of
the houses were still standing—the sidewalks
and pavements in geed order, and the fresco
paintings on 'the walls, and the mosaics of the
floors were still fresh mud beautiful. But a
new chapter has recently been Opened in-the
history of Pompeii for the reading world, and
some of its inhabitants have come into view
after a concealment of eighteen hundred years.
A letter in the Athenieum informs us that two
hundred men, women and girls are employed
in excavating et. Pompeii. The writer says
The excavations are being carried en in two
spots, Weir tile temple or Tele, and near We
house called Omit of Abbotidanea, but we are
more immediately concerned with the former
site, Here in a house in a small street, just
opened, were found the bodies of skeletons
which are, now attracting crowds. Falling in
mass of pumice "stone,: these unfortunate
persons had not' become attached to the soil,
and it was easy to cut away the ground be

water had been rained upon them from the
'fiery mountain, causing their death, and in

consisted of the roof and the ashes which had
fallen into the interior of the house something
like human e form wee discovered, though
nothing but a l :fine poWder was iieible t . It oc
curred to Oay. Fiorelli, that this might be a
kind of sarooplingus created by Vesuvius, and
that within were the remains of one of the
T lotitee of that terrible eruption. But how to

struck him. Plaster of ,Pnris wattpoured,into
an aperture, the interior having been found to
be hollow, in consequence of the destruction
of the flesh, and; mixing with and , uniting.with
the bones, restored to the world a Roman lady
of the first century. .
Further researches led _to the discovery of
Male body, another , woman, and that of a
oung girl ; but that which first awakened the
interest of the
_excavotors w as the,finding of
ninety-one 'pie ces of 'money, four ear
ripgs, a finger-ring, all of gold,, together with
two iron keYs, and'evident remains of a linen
bag. The first body,, so to speak;is that of a
women; who , lies on her right • side, and from
the twisted position of her,body had been • much
convulsed. Her left hand and arm are raised
and contorted, and the - knuckle!! are bent in
tightly ; the right arm is broken, and at each
end of the fr agments one sees the cellular char
acter of the bones.Thelorm of the head-dress
and hair are distinctly visible. On the bone of
the little finger of 'the left, hand are two silver
rings, one of which is a guard. The sandals
remain, or the soles at least, and iron or nails
are , unmistakeably to be seen. The body is
much bent, the legs are extended as if under
the influence of much pain.: the side of
this figure lay , the bags of which I have already
spoken, with the money, the keys and the rings,
and'the cast of it, with all that remains inter
mingled with or impressed on the plaster, is
preserved in the same room.
Pissing'on to an inner chamber, we found
the figure of the young girl lying on its face,
resting on its claspe; hands and arms ; the legs
tire drawn up, the' len lying over the right; the
body is thinly' ebierdd over in , some parts by
the scorim or the plaster, while the skull is
visible 'highly polished ' . Onie handle partially
closed, as if it lied grasped something, proba
bly her drese,,With whichit had covered her
head. The finger bones protrude through the
incrusted ashes, and en the surface of the body,
in . various parts, is distinctly visible the ,web
of .the linen with .which it had been covered:
There was lying by the side of the child .a fitll- 4
grown woman, the , left leg slightly elevated,
while the right arm is broken; but the left,
which is bent, is perfeet,and the head is closed.
The little finger has an iron ring ; the left ear,
which is uppermost, is very conspicious, and
stands off from. the head. The folds of the
drapery, the.very web remain, and a nice ob
server. might detect the quality of the dress.
The last figure I have to describe is that of
a man, a splendid subject, lying on its back,
with the legs stretched out to their full length.
There is an iron ring on the little finger or the
left hand, which, together with the arm are
supported by the elbow. The folds of the
dress on the arm,
and over the whole of the
upper, part of the body •are visible ; the sandals
are there, and the bones of one foot protrude
through what might have been a broken sandal.
The hair of the head and beard—by which .I
mean of course, the traces of them—are there;
and the breath of, life has only to be inspired
into this and the other three figures to reatOre
to the world of the nineteenth century the
Romans of the first century. The first was
the mother and the head of the household, for
by her side was the hag of money, the keys
and the two silver vases, and a silver hand
mirror, which:was only found on Friday. She
was of gentle birth too; the delicacy of her
arms and legs indicate it ; and coiffure too.—
The hands are closed as if the very nails mast
have entered into the flesh, and the body is
swollen, as those of the others, as if water had
aided the cruel death.. The child—perhaps her
child—does not appear to have suffered so
much, but, childlike, it had thrown itself on
thaground, and wrapped its dress about its
head, thinking thereby, ,to exclude all danger..
I judge, so front the marks - of the folds of the
linen round-the arms and on the upper part of
the body, and , : from .the partially open hand,
asdf_itlind grasplal something. Peer child'!

it was not so tenacious of life as the mother,
and soon went to sleep. There is the figure of
another woman, of a lower class, 1, servant
perhaps, and I thought so from the large pro
jecting ear, and the ring on the finger which
was of iron. She had suffered much, evidently,
as the right leg is twisted back and uplifted.
She lies on her side, and the left, hand, which
is closed, rests on the ground ; but her suffer
ings were less than those of hex mistress, as
her sensibility was perhaps less acute. The
man, manlike, had struggled , longer with the
storm, which raged around him„ for he fell on
his back, and fell dead. His limbs are stretched
out to their full length, and give no sign of
suffering. •
A more touching story than that which is
told by these silent figures I have never read, •
and it was with comparatively little
. interest
that I closed this day by visiting the sites where
the 'laborers are actually at woik. They are
cutting out streets beneath the recta of large •
trees, and carting off the soil for.many feet
above them. Dans are coming out to view
every moment, with the large red inscriptions
and the popular jokes of Pompeiana. Many
houses have been completely uncovered, with
the exception.of two or three feet of sand, which
are left_ on the,ground floor, and cover up the
antiquarian wealth which is reserved for the
eyes of distinguished visitors. One house I
remarked particultirly, as it is the largest-in
Pompeii. There are two large gardens in the
interior of the building, and marble fountains,
around which were found the figures of a wild
lioaT being pulled down by dogs, and.s serpent
and other animals, all of bronze. On the walls
are elegant fresco paintings, and in one small
room, a sleeping chamber, is a mosaic floor, a
portion of which was repaired, and that right
artistically too by some old Roman mosaicist.
Among the many improvements which Cavalier
Fiorelli has introduced is the establishment of
umuseura, in which many objects of great in
terest are deposited, all discovered in Pompeii.
There are the skeletons of two dogs ; and sixty
loaves which were baking when Vesuvius burst
forth, and which were "drawn" only the other
day. There are the great iron doors for the
mouth of the oven. There are the tallies, too,
and hammers, and bill hooks, and colors,
should the artist need them; and medicines for
the sick, and pulse for the hungry. Vases and
patents of plain and colored glass, light and
elegant in form, are,there, and. candelabra, so
graceful that one longs Co grasp them. There,
too, are brasiers( more ornamental, and move
useful and elegant than any that modern Ital
ians have made.: , _
GEN. .1f CLELLAN-A CALK APPEAL.
[Prom the National latelligeneer, Jute) VI ]
In the present season of national adversity
and trial, when the hearts of the bravest are
moved by the sight of their country's misfor
tune, and when the hearts of others are fail
ing for fear of things which, as they appre
hend, are yet to come upon the land, every
good citizen.owes it to himself and to the gov
ernment to express with freedom, but yet with
respectful deference, the
,opinions he enter
tains and the counsels which he deema'appre
priers to the emergency that is on us:
After much reflection, and with a full sense
of the responsibility which it involves, we feel
it our solemn duty at this juncture to avow the
deliberate but. earnest conviction that the
President cannot, by any one act, do so much.
to restore the coultdenee of the nation as by
the recall of Gen. M'Clellan to the command
of the Army of the Potomac. We intend no
disparagement to Gen. Hooker, and we are
sure we do him no injustice when we say, that
while, an.:tbe commander of a corps or a divi
sion„heideseives and possesses the confidence
of his companions in arms and of the entire
country, be cannot hope, in his present
tion, to inspire in the breasts of either the
same confidence ,as Gen. Welellan And, -in
avowing this opinion, we are very ,far from
auguring inevitable disaeter under the military
direction of. Gen. Hooker, for in so doing we
should write with as little of prudence as
knowledge. He may. be equal to the situation,
and, should the President deem it best to re—
tain him in his present command, we shall
seek to be eebeibeed of the wisdom with which
that determination shall be taken;
but, with.
our deliberate convictions in favor of the supe
rioradvantages possessed by Gen. M'Clellan for
coping with the demands of the hour, we, can--
not forbear to express the opinion we have
-
just announced.
We commit ourselves at this time to the-sup-
port of no thesis with respect to Gen. bl'Olel
iaa's military capacity. We simply say that,
whether regard he , hid to. the morale oD the
army, to the defence of this capital or to the
expulsion of the invading foe, Gen. M'Clellan
is the man of the hour. All concede that the
private soldiers of the Army of the Potomac
love him as they love no other man. All con
cede that he is a skillful defensive general,
and the whole courktry knows that he has bad
special opportunities for studying the defence
of Washington ; while in the matter of expell
ing th e invaders from Maryland - and PennaYl:
vania he has already bad the advantage of .a
former experience, in which he was successful,
whatever may have been his actual or imputed
shortcomings in failing to " destroy" the ene
my he then defeated and foiled.
In giving expression to these views we know
ourselves to be reflecting those of multitudes
who, are among the most thsughtful as they
are among the most patriotic of our Mintry
men. The thoughts of the people are turned
to Gen. 141.!Clellan and his former comrade s
this crisis. .In proof of it we have but to ad
vert to the fact that at a meeting held at Har
risburg on the 15th inst., to take measures for
the defence of that capital, the Hon. Simon
Cameron, the late Secretary of War, (than
whom none other should know,Gen. M'Clellan
better,) said that while he "had every confi
dence in the present commander of the depart
ment, such men as APClellan or Franklin, in
whose leadership. the people had every confi
dence, would rally to their standard every loyal
man." He accordingly 6, called upon the Gov
ernor to send for Gen. M'Clellan to take charge
of the militia of the State."
General McClellan would doubtless do well
at the head of the militia . of Pennsylvania.
But he is more needed at the head of his old
legions, beeause there he could do more good.
Let the President restore him to the command,
give him unrestricted control of his movements,
and then hold him responsible for his conduct
in the face of the country. We believe that if
he were again placed at the head of the army
it would be equal to a reinforcement of its
ranks by tens of thousands. At his call we are
sure that multitudes who, in their dissatisfac
tion, have left the flag, or who are reposing at
home from the fatigues of war, would rally
once more to the standard of the country tattler
their trusted and favorite leader.
We know tbere are those who will contemn
this advice as emanating from the spirit of
military partisanship. But is it not possible
that those who deal in such Imputations are
themselies the 'victims of prejudices and de
lusions lk• The sincerity .of ottr advice—however
Mistaken it may be—is attested by the gravity,
of the circumstances under which it is uttered.
None but words of truth and sobeineen befit an
hour liki this. We Would aeuelously-ipeet

THE STATE MILITIA .AND THE GEN
ERAL GOVERNMENT.
Governor Curtin, of Pennaylvania, has teen
under the necessity of sending personal ap
peals to the Governors of various eastern States
to hasten forward. the militia of Their respec
tive States .to aid in tke-deftnne of.penneylva
nia. The Governor of - keerorklas recleived
such au appeal,- and the -Governor of New Jer
seys, in his proclamatierlisays
that “Peunsylvatia, throngh kar
. Groirnor,
appeals to New Teisey 'to aid In driving back
the invading army." ...,A.per&vtimilliagreya

Pennsylvhdia ; but, in times if
these, States have not only to 'aid thentstillien,
but their officers have also to appeal to sister
States for aid. Until the sloes of this rebellion

The occurrences of the post week show how
fatal a mistake the last Co - nestle made in put
ting the wit Ole Military powev:,of the widen in
the hands of the general government:at Wash
ington. Every time the capital wis ifl danger
or men were wanted, previous to , the paesage
of the conscription act s •the local authorities
were fully equal to the emergency, and filled
up every requisition of the War Department.
The threatened invasion of Pennisylvania,JUSE
previous to the 'battle of Antietam.: called
70,000' of the local, militia of, that State to
arms, and the melghboring • States were not
asked for a man.
But how changed is' everything, tiow that
the management of affairs is left with the
Washington War Department. An invasion of
Pennsylvania or Western Virginia has ..been
inevitable ever since the battle of Chancellors
ville, yet, with the' utter lack of forecast which
distinguishes the administration, not the , first
thing was done to provide for the emereney
until' the enemtwas in Vflien Ehe
President's pr9cl44laLOP at length came out,
the , people of- the jemmied State plumply re
fused to enlist under its provisions. Alarmed
at the stolid, apathy of the Pennsylvanians,
the administration finally put the matter into
the bands .of Governor Curtin, nnd under his
calL for minute men, the people are rapidly
filling up the militia regiments.
The value of. a State militia organization is
shown by tha.prompt : response of our. Now
York regiments. The New York Seventh will
be in the field before the first complete Penn
sylvania regiment is Maid, and enough troops
for two brigades will leave this neighborhood,
ready for immediate service,,before the people
of the menaced Statewill have oompleted,their
scattered` oompany organizations . .
The 'lesion should , not be bit upon is. The
administration, with all the power of the na
tion, le barely able„to hold the capital.. To.
prefer their military,protection, to that uf the
local authorities, ie to prefer weslr.ner to
strength. We join With 'the Mar in' retierne,
mending the people and Governors of the sev
eral States to immediately add to the effective
ness of the local militia. Let arms be pro
cured and equipments furnished; eo that in
this State 50,000 trained unifOrMed militiamen
could : be put in the field in three days. If
Pennsylvania had had even half that number
there would be no danger of a rebel invasion ,
of that State. imethere be a general arming
of the people.—N. Y. World.
THZ DZISOORACT AND' THE INVAIHON.—The
Philadelphia Press of the 17th is shamed , into'
saying:
, 1.•n01 , 10 TO NEW YORIC.

acted lik.4 a man trio knew, when ' the timelor,par.

now:in• Harrisburg, and side by aide with oar
brave Pennsylvanians, preparing , to resist the
invader. This is.the, true opirit -of brotherly
love. But while theoity of New York is doing
so much to save our State, what is the city of
Philadelphia doing ?" ' ./
It is quite , time the administration prees•did

Preis were to be believed Horatio Seyniony,
and those. who •act with him politically, /die

When,lowever, an actual invasion takes place
these same Democrats are fotind in the very
front ranks• of those' who are defending their
State, and Nation. ,The “Copperhead" Gov
ernor of New Jersey is quite it,e prompt to send,
troops to beat back the enemy as the most ar.
dent Republican in the land, and although
southern Perinsylvaniaiallled with Demobrate
who abhor the Abolition policy of the admin
istration, we have not , beard of one who has
given aid and comfort to the enemy. If there
was - the slightest particle bf truth in the libels
of the Press and New York Times upon' the
Democratic party, would not Pennsylvania to
day be in a state of civil war, and the enemy
welcomed &Om every quarter?-- World.
WHAT is Cazeit ?--Pray paeden the use of
a slang term; impudence will not do, for it
may exist without shrewdness ; nor self-pos-.
session, for that, is a passive rather than an ,
active virtue; nor courage, which is often
allied with modesty ,- nor b oldness, *hick a
man may have without humor. True, you
may Say that a' man has the face to, say, or do .
knything ; but that is a roundabout way of ex
pressing onesself, and you cannot speak of his
face in an allegorical Bernie; or call him, facet'.
Grant me the term, then, and I will endeavor.;
to explain it to my young-brotherless. lady
readers. Cheek, then, is a rare anion of fup,.
impudence, readiness, perseverance, and
ligenee, endowing its posiessor with the'poster
of walking quietly over social obstacles, which
form an impassable barrier to dm majority'of
mankind. For example, it was "cheek." that
gang Piogenes the advantage. iner Alexander.;
that procured wives for the early Romans ;
that got dear old Falstaff out'ok all his serapes,
enabling him to " make a good end," instead
of a parlous bad one; that procured James
Boswell admission to a club and niche in his
tory denied to many a better man; that
enabled the great Barnum to gull his fellow
creatures out of a fortune, an.d nthen,hu had
spent that, to make , a second. by telling: his
dopes, foes to faqe, b.pw he had done them—.
