All mildewed with time ind wet with dew;
'Tis a little thing; ye wonld pass it by
With fieVer a thought, or Word, or sigh,
Yet it stirs in my heart a bidden Weil,
And in eloquence of the past doth tell.
It tells of a form that is cold and still—
Of a little mound upon yonder MIL
That is dearer far to a mother's heart
Than the classic statues of Grecian art;
Ah! strangers may pass With a careless air,
Nor di«am of the hopes that he buried there.
Oh, Je who hare ne'er o'er a loved one wept—
Whose brightest hopes have ne'er been swept
Like-the pure white cloud from the summer
sky-
Like the wreath of mist ' from the mountain

Like a rainbow, beaming a moment here,
Then melting aWo / to its native sphere-
Like rose leaves, loosed by the zephyrs sigh
Like that zephyr wafting its perfumes by-
Like the wave that kisses sotoe graceful spot.

By A. Perry Spcrry
I lately looked upon a throng of meii
Whosfe faces bore the stainp of inward plun,
I heard their voices ocho past me then,
"O. give us work that we may live again,
Our little ones are cfyihg now foi- bread,
Oor wives, heart-broken, bow their heads
P**yj
Yet still the clouds hang darkly overhead,
And we ind ours are starving day by day."
SO, give us work," the breeze caught up the
sound, - *
And bore it onward through Che city streets;
Ten thousand hearts that echo send around
And many a foding lip the tone repeats.
OJ God -our Father, can it ever be.
While thousands Mvd io their worldly cheer,
Tbat these«nuat«<M^e -and -die in poverty,
While stall they gxzeoa plessty everywhere?

Washington, Dec. 30.—Gen. Walker
arrived here last evening, in'charge of
the tJ. S. MarshaH, from New Fork,
and met with anenthusiasth; reception
and ^iarge crowds collected at the depot
frofn at Brown's Hotel.
and aptain Engle, of the navy, has also
Cved with dispatches from Commo-
arrie Paulding, Who writes to the Secre
dory of the Navy b report of his proceed-
targs, with hia Veasons for the arrest of
Walker and his men.
He states that hes could only regard
Walker and bia followers as; outlaws
who had escaped the vigilanee of the
United Slates'officers, and whose object
was to plunder, rapine and murder; and
he saw no way to redeem the honor of
the country than to at rest and send them
back to the United States.
He saye that he is fully aware of the
responsibility which he has assumed, and
trusts that his proceedings will meet the
approbation of the Department.
Captain Utigle, in an interview with
the President,, nas given full details of
the circumstances connected with the ar-
rsst of the expedition.
The Cabinet h#ve had the subject un-
der consi'deratfon to-day, and it is under-
stood, that they accept to some extent
the explanations of the Commodore and
Captain JSngle, although the course of
he former was not ^justified by his ia-
stfuctions. He. is to be ordered home tor
trial by a Court Martial. [ \ '
Walker will be released from his pres-
ent arrest, but will probably be rearrest-
ed and tried for the violation of the neu-
trality Jaw's. 'mtv.M
An Interesting Feature of the Nicaragua
Meeting To-Nlght.—
* Mr. John Tabor, Esq., the editor of XI
Nicaraguense, the official paper of Gen, Wal
ker, and one of Uie men who wero «aptafe<!
by Commodore Paulding, aitived yesterday
on the Philidalphia; and we are '
that he has consented to open the
which to be held this evening, at Ban'
Arcade, with a fall history of events In Ni
c&ragua from the sailing of the Fashion un-
til the capture of Gen. Wulker. H* wiH.
also describe the position of Col. Anderson,
-and explain his plans and* intentions. Mr.
Tabor is a very intelligent gentleman,
shrewd observer, well versed by long expe-
rience in Nicaragua affairs, and his appearance
at t^e meeting to-night will be singatarlj
apropose and interesting.

New York, Dec. 29.—Commodore Paald-
ing, of the Wabash, landed 350 men, captured
Walkeifand his men. Walker had previously
taken Fort Castillo and four Of the river stea-
mers. Col. Frank-Anderagnjstill holds Cas-
tillo, with 50 picked men. The San Juan
river steamer C. Morgan, is put hi charge Of
the American Consul|at)Nicaragua.
Martenez has been elected President ef
Nicaragua and is making active preparations
for war against Costa Rica. Costa Riea has
sent 400 men against CoL Andersen.
WASHifiToif jDec. 29.—The instructions
to Commodore Pauldiqg were necessarily
general it being impossiple for the Govern-
ment1 to anticipate circumstances, and it|ean-
not be determined whether his arrest of Wal-
ker wiii be justified, until thereceipt of Com.
Paulding's-official dispatch.
The laat accounts from China state that
the Emperor had refused to see any repre-
sentatives of the oatside, or "barbarian"
powers. The British were preparing to cap-
ture Canton. The French forces, it is stated
would join,them in the expedition.
The great English iron steamer has been
moved some distance further. It is stated
that she was in six feet waterj but it wtt be-
lieved that die would have to be left there
for the influence of the "high tides of next
spring. *

Nor can it be aaid that they have not irn

day, with what it was when English (ketones

States and Pacific possession, with what they

monstrate that the changes of government,
they underwent were for their best good, and

After refering to the cause of the ditnissal

He says1: From ttfose views, you
will readily understand what the President
regards as the chief duty which devolves
upon you as Stanton's successor. This duty
is to preserve the peace of Kansas. Every
person entitled to vote on the Constitution
ught to have safe access to the polls, and to
he free from all restraints whatever in the
exercise of the elective francbia. If the ci-
vil power is found insufficient fore this pur-
pose, the tra ps of the United- States should
be employed in aid for it, and it may be a
wise precaution to have them stationed, n
advance, within reach of those places where
in your judgement, tlieir services are likely
to be required.
It is earnestly hoped that the use of the
military power may he wholly avoided. Vio-
lence is alw ays less likely to ocur whegi.the
means are known to tie at hand for its prompt
snppre-^iort? bnt should the military force be-

it in my commu"ication to Gov. Walker
Tbe Territorial Legislature doubtless conve-
ned on the Tth hist., and while it remains in
session, its members are entitled trfbeseenre
and free- in their deliberations. Its rightful
action must also he- respected. Should it
authorize an ejection by the people for «ny
purpose, this election should be held without
interruption no less than those authorized by
the Convention. While the peace Of this
Territory shall be preserved, and freedom of
election is secured, there need be no fear of
disastrous consequences. The pubKc journals
contain reports of an intended movement by
portion of the residents of Kansas, to or-
ganize a revolutionary Government under the
Topeka Constitution.
It is hardly probable that this report can
he well founded, but should an attempt be
made and lead 10 a partical collission with
the territorial authorities, the authority Of
the Government must necessarily be main-
tained, and from whatever quarter it is at-
tempted. violence with the election autho-
rized by the constitutional Convention or
tbst which may be authorized by the Legis-
lature must be resisted; and tbe security of
tbe ele tion maintained. Your firmness and
discretions. It is vitally Important that the
people o' Kansas—and none other than tin
people of Kansas—should have the full de
termination of the question now t efore them
for their decision Tt is also important that
in securing to them the protection to which
they are entitled, great care should be taken
not to organize any illegal athoritv. No ac-
tion of the Territorial Legislature about to

from the English and Rassian naval manoeu-

some twenty miles inland, to Lake Kisi. This
lake is sixty miles in length, running in an
easterly and westerly direction. It, he says,

Whether religious, moral or material advan-
cement is looked for, its germs must be sought
in one or the other of these empires. At the
present day, they are incalculably leyond
any other countries, and are engaged in a
friendly rivalry to see which shall carry-far-
thest the most practical and the most bene-
ficial improvements. The reactionary stimu-
lant offered by this contest, so characterised
and so conducted, will heighten the struggle
as well purify it: and the bounds which shall
be placed to the good done for all mankind
cannot be named.
Af the best existing form of government is
sought, in what other nation can it be found?
And, if a judgement is desired between the
two, does not each present some prominent
points of vantage not afforded by the other?
Bach country is wisely assured of its own po-
litical excellence, and seeks to display that
additional merit, not by forays upon the other
but, rather, by strengthening and embellish-
