The Guard at Fortrasa Mauro.. BP Lucy H. sooPutz In the silence of the midnight, when the lamp was burning low, I On my brain there dawned a vision of tho cell at Fort Monroe; And around its mussy, portals, doubly lock'd and triply barred, Swept a train of pallid phantoms, in: The diuk: ,_ness keeping guard! - And tied I%fnua in horror, " 0 thou dim and dreadful train, By what strange unrest art summoned unto Earth and Life again ?" then a solemn voice gave answer, "From our graves, 'neath sod and tide, We have come to watch his slumbers, through whose wickedness we died. "From the far•off fields we reddened with our blood in fearful rain, Prom the hiding waves of ocean, now we rise in Might again; • From the graves, a welcome refuge from the - loathsome prison pen, • dome the dread avenging specters that were starved and tortured men. " We died starved ;—hia - fare is dainty—soft-and snowy is his bed; Countless nameless graves bear witness we were low and roughly laid- But the sleep to, which death lulled us by no trea son dream was marr'd, And the angels came from Heaven, and around our rest kepi guard. _ " Can you marvel that he sleeps not while - we stand outside - the door? - That he starts in_quisering anguish at our root " falls on the door? Though his priscM'ivails be massive, though his door be closely bared, fie beholds us, andte hears us, and he knows - we!re keeping guard. " Traitor hearts fatty yet befriend him, traitor • bands may :et him free.* He may fly from bate and scoffing, but from us he cannot flee: When at last to God in Heaven flies his soul, all treason-seared, Round about the Throne Eternal he will find us keeping guard !" (For The Agitator.) - BOOK' OP JEFF.. - CHAP. XVIII Now iteame to paps, that after many days had gone by, the people marvelled, and were sorely afflicted in their minds because - of Jeff; whose trial - from some pretext,.had been long delayed. And-they said one to another; " Be hold Jeff stillliveth, and dwelleth with his family, and many of his kindred, - in a strong fortreSs near the chief city While Wirz, the vile slave, who did but fulfil the behests- of Jeti; has been long slain." . And they wagged their heads, and looked strangely one at another. Then spake one — who was bolder than his fellows, and his-words were after this wise. "Ye men of Columbia! As my liveth,-there is a traitor in the camps; one who dwelleth in high pla ces.; and inasmuch as our Divine Alas .tei bade us beware of wolveS in sheep's clothing," let tit, ever search out this Juilas, that he betray us not ;" and he further continued, Men of Columbia, Doth not Jefflie upon soft conehe,,, and his slippered -feet tread upon co:-ItIly car pets, while his meat and wants are the best the land affords; and are not guards set roundabout him, that the brave sol diers, whose brethren Jeff imprisoned, and put to the sword, take not his life ; - And do not his friends from rebellion, visit him as they list, and comfort him with words of cheer, and with joyful news, like unto the massacre at New Orleans; and doth not Andrew, the chief magistrate, hid that all theie things be-done.. And lo ! when he had made an end of speaking, the people groaned in spir it, and did hang their heads. And they said. one to another; " Verily these things are true.. And Andrew conniv eth with Jeff; and with his compeers." Nevertheless, they wilt not what to do. After these things, Andrew said in his heart,," Lo I am hated of these ' loyal men, because of mY. love for evil doers,_ and they will never again make I me their chief magistrate. But behold the time draweth nigh, when the prov inces of the land of Columbia shall vote, choose for themselves chief rulers, called governors; And if these chief rulers be not friends - to "my policy," I am utterly undone, both I and my friends the Jeffiites. , 11‘1, - o.ii - therefore, I Will even gitd on mine armor, and I will go forth unto the - peo ple of many of - the provinces; and will talk with them face to - face ; Peradven ture they will hearken unto my words, and my heart misgiveth me if this peo ple triumph. And he straightway made ready, and toOkihis departure ; And of his further sayings and. doings, the scribe -at pres ent writeth not..

He was of our country's martyrs, one who responded to her earliest call. But the chill miasmic swamps of the Chickahominy brought to his frams disease. and death. Five years ago this very month, I stood beside his death-bed in a military hospital. The scene was night ! Almost inter minable seemed the hours, as the loud clock tolled their moments one by one, and breathlessly, agonizingly, I watched the terrible life-struggle. s oing on before, me. Youth, with its bright hopes all undimmed, and its warm heart throb bine, eagerly, so eagerly, for life, love, and happiness, striving fiercely with the conqueror, Death. Oh ! it was a dreadful conflict, but, ere long the latter triumphed. Suddenly rising the dying man said, "hark ! the bugle calls ; I must go on picket-guard, to night. Then, changing in his mood, he called me to his side reason once again resumed her throne ; said he 'dear, M. I am going home ! But my friend goes with me and I have no fears ! God, is the soldier's friend. I trust in him". Just as the gray dawn tinged tha east, the flickering lamp expired.

SPENCER'S MILLS, OCT. 1866. The London Thine and The New York Tribune. The reputation of the English press is well founded. Intellect and culture, of no ordinary standard, have been for more than half a century elements of 2 / 1 3 11/1 3 h Journalism, which in no country are surf/sated, while its energy in procuring news is not equaled in Europe. Of all the English paper. The Times fs unquestionably the leader, and, therefore, the representative of Europ ean Journalism, How remarkably that Journalism dlit fere from the American would be an interesting com- parison, involving n nice balance ot v advantages, but at present we merely desire to show, for the entertainment of the public, how far the value of even The London Times as n newspaper has been excelled by Tun TOtLIIINI. A newspaper is not a review nor a.bcok—it to a compen dium of news and there is no question but that in this distinctive characteristic the American press is nazi valed. Let no take op The Times of September 19, the latest number received in this city. Its pages are the same size as those of Tire TRZirNEI its colnnine the * same length and width; the type about the same size. Ex elusive of advertisements. The Times - containa 41 col iimns of reading' matter, of considerable variety, and much of it well-written. It furnishes less than a col umn of nlilitary and naval intelligence; five columns of Reports of 3farkeis, Rai'nay aril Mining shares., Am. Tea review of Borchgrave's history of Belgian Colon Ira in the ie.th century it devotes three columns, and to the transactions of the Ethnological Society, three more; an essay on Food Fisheries in France. theatrical criticism, a letter Justisying the Jamaica atrocities, a complaint of muck auctions, occupy one column each. Three and a half columns aro devoted to editorials, of which there are tint three, upon Napoleon's Circular, the Act fur limiting liability in Partnerships. and the Established Church in Ireland. It publishes foreign let ters front three capitals—Para, Berlin and Vienna— making in all four columns..„,Tbe same number are us ed for it 4 legal and police reporta, An iniluicyinteetec tioa ihnbery i.t.ses exhausts throe more columns.

It gave the public for four cents three and a half colunino.of correspondence from Mexico, and letters from Louden, Faris, Milan, Mabee'', NiJni-Novgorod, Berlin, Pragne, and Panama, which in all amounted to 11 columns; special;' Washington cor respondence, official documents from, the State Depart ment, occupied two columns mid a half; commercial seas, colutimey coiirta andAsolice, two; political intelligence, two;, litatature, one ; local news, throe columns,- Its editorials filled six columns, including six articles, beeide_a number of paragraphs, Its tele graph di:patches required three columns, and this wee an unusually limited space.

Tea Tenor:sr has nearly as much telegraphic mattsr by the Cable alone as The Times from all sources, and gave its readers dispatches from Berlin, Paris, London, Liver pool, Florence, Madrid, Trieste and Hamburg, chiefly dated the day before, beside others from Washington, New Location, St. Louts, Hartford, Cincinnati, Colum bus, Chilicothe, Louisville, Chicago, Pittsburg, Balti more, Richmond, Philadelphia, Boston, "aar - -73tanclaco, Toronto, Porten-Basque and Leavenworth, Ttbm all parts of this country, and all portions of the world, news is published in Tut TRIDUNS, while She TIMES dons not oven summarize the events in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, and other cities of the British Isles.

Irishman who died in 1690 had this curious epitztpia— "Under this stone lies Brown, who slowly by virtue of strong beer survived a hundred winters. He was always intoxicated, and SQ formidable in this condition as even to make Death afraid of him. Finding him one day fasting against his will (deprived of beer, of course), Death getting bold, attacked him and thus triumphed overan unpar alleled drunkard."
