Her breast a bank of virgin smw, Whereon no thought ot sin should dwell; Her voice was very sweet and low, And like the voice of Isabel — But I never kiss and tell Her lips as cherries, sweet and red, And she was shy as a gazelle; She kissed me luck— and then she fled , Just like our charming Isabel — But 1 never kiss and tell.

JEFF. WAVIN’ BREAM. One day, a short time ago, while sit- ! ting in a hotel in Richmond, Ya., a total stranger to every one in the city, I took up a daily paper for the purpose of passing away an idle hour, and for my further comfort 1 seated myself in the recess ; of a bay window, and was thus wholly hidden trim the view of any who might chance to enter the room. I was the one solitary occupant of the room, and had but just become interested in the latest news, when I heard the door of the room open ant the footsteps of two persons approaching. They seemed to be talking [cofidently together, and I thought it my duty to make known my presence by some sign, so that I might not hear anything not intended (or my ear, but on peering into the room, imagine my surprise when I recognized in the occupants, Jeff. Davis and his traitor friend, Toombs of Georgia. 1 hesitated no longer, but set- I tied myself back in my seat and bent every energy to listen to the conversation which was carried on in a low tone. But, said Toombs, Mr. Davis, you must not give away to the vagaries of your brain. Come, tell me all about this , wonderful dream, and my word for it you will feel better after the recital, Davis, rising, turned the key iu the door, and resuming his seat close bv Toombs, gave the following version of the dream that disturbed him. Slid he, I had a party of friends to supper last night, who prolonged their visit to a late hour. 1 ate heartily during the evening and experienced a strange feeling of heaviness be- j fore retiring. My room, yen know, is well supplied with large windows, and the night being A.splendi 1 on-', 1 lay on my back gazing out on the li ■avehs sparkling as it were with diamonds, and < ruminating on the destiny of the Confed-I eracy. How long I continued thus, I know not, but stealing over my senses, ! as it appeared to me, instantly came a’ clearer perception of out cause from the ; beginning. I thought myself in Wash- : ing'on, in tirat same room where we all met tliat night t.o perfect our plans forth" ! destruction ol the great Republic, 1 thought that you were there, T tombs. , and Breckenridge, and all the rest, and I seemed to live over again the closin' 1 * scenes which were enacted in Congress, * and I was started from the contemnlntion by a low, deep, solemn vo'ce close by mv 5 pillow, saving. ‘.Jefferson D vis—Jefferson Davis!’ This was 'he beginning* I ; started and looked round to see who it I was that spoke in those awful tones, and i a cold chill of horror crept over me as I saw a dim, shadowy figure disappear in I tlie distance. Presently mv gaze b>*c imo fixed and before me passed the whole ' Southern land, one state after another.— ' Maryland, heaving and tossing as upon; the Waves of the ocean, doubting which I wav to plunge; Virginia had a smiling ex- ; tarior, but the most deadly, damning hate ’ rankling in het hear*; Georgia, ernzv with : the enormous weight of her sins and her J passions, anxious to give them vent in the wnrm blood of the northern heart, and so pissed they all, on« after the other. the last appearing still more hellish | than than the first. No sooner were these i ended than bv some singular change in my position, I imagined mysel standing ; on the top of Bunker Hill, and once more I the panorama o f the States was preserved befoie me. This time it was o! the Ninth. But why enter into the details; of this vision, for I saw them in ail their ; beauty of their free system; the children on their way to school, the old people to I he noon-day prayer meeting, the farmer in the field, and the scholar in his study. All this passed ranidlv before me, and T felt a fire in mv heart that to my disordered brain threatened to consume me entirely*. Again the scene changed, and I found myself on a height overlooking Charleston harbor, just at the moment the star of the West was attempting to carry provisi ins to the starving garrison within. I saw the shot fired, forcing her return, and my boar’ sunk within me as I heard that dean, solemn voice close b°- ( sides me say, ‘Jefferson Davie, Jefferson , Davis! this is your preparation for the halter!’ Again. I saw another fleet sail to the relief of Pumter—saw the horn-1 bnrdment and its fall. Once more I imagined mvself standing on the summit of Bunker Hill, and the whole North lav snreead out at my feet, and, mv God! the change that had come over this land — Where, from this very spot and extending out to its jarthest corner, thera was a hurrying to and fro—men shouldering their muskets and all tending to one point, Washington. My eves fairly blaz'd from mv head when from the clear blue sky above me, I heard once more again the ; mysterious voice ringing in mv ears. ‘Jefferson Davis, Jefferson Davis! behold the armed legions of the North! sen the i agony of parting; see th" misery and des olation that are to follow. Jefferson Da-, vis, this is your work!’ Mv limbs trembled as I heard these words uttered in those awful tones. My brain reeled and

[ fell headlong from mv position. At this point, Jeff. Davis slopped talking and wiped the col 1 sweat from Ills brow. Toombs remarked that it was a most wonderful dream — most wonderful, when Jefferson, resuming, Slid, 1 thought that my fall was not sudden, but that I I occupied some months in my descent, an 1 during those months 1 cool 1 see Me Clellan’s Anaconda tightening its fold all around the Confederacy and I feh ' certainty that all was lost, that we ghoul I be crushed in one common d isiruction,.--I saw the capture of Forts H nry an 1 Donelson, an.l a thrill of horror crept over me as 1 s iw that traitor to the North - and South Floyd, steal away in the darkness of tile night, leaving the rest to des. 'ruction. Along the lines I saw >ur armies possessed of <i fearful dretd, fl/ing from Nashville to Columbus; saw i.h-b ,t- --: tie of Pea Ridge, and almost in the twinkling of an eve the Great army of the Poj tom ic, in all its mighty pmporti.ms, ap- ; peared before me and I felt that all was ; lost. Again the solemn voice rang in inv ears, ‘Jefferson Davis, Jefferson L) i- ; vis! thy doom is sealed—meet thy reward!’ N) sooner were th’se word- uti tered. than in the distance 1 heard an tinearthly shouting and yelling that grated on my feelings like red-hot iroa drawn through every portion of my bi'y — | Soon there came in sight what 1 found to jmy horror to be a body ot ‘imps’ sent ■ from the bottomless pit to bring me to judgment. Placing themselves around and under my b)Jy. we descended rapidly towards Huies. Soon we found our j selves landed on a barren rock in the most desolate place possible for you to ' imagine. Stepping round to one angle, it disclosed to my view a wide entrance and all around it grew the most beautiful ' flowers, and 1 seemed to hear the most : beautiful sounds imaginable. O.ie of my I guards here spoke to me and said, child lof mortality, follow'' He led the way , and I followed closely. It was not long I before the beauty of the entrance passed away and all became dark, dreary, and desolate. Traveling what seemed to me i great distance, we at came to a great iron door, the nails upon which seemed to i sparkle and blaz' with some intense heat within. Here sat an elderly imp as a dour keeper, and by his side was a very large book, in which were written in latters of fire the names of all the damned s who preceded me. ‘Child of sin,’ spoke the old man, ‘who art thou?’ an 1 I answered, verily, my brain reels and 1 know not. -Child of sin, tell me by what I name thou were known on the earth” and 1 answered. Jefferson Davis. No I sooner had he uttered this name than the imps with a horrible, never to be forgot , ten screech .sprang to a distance corner, and stood staring with gleaming eye balls, . that seemed to loathe me with a most tremendous loathing. I tried to approach i them, but they would not permit it, seem--1 ing fearful of any contact with me.— Horror stricken and amazed at this con- ■ duct of those I thought would be mv friends. I returned to the door which I now found open, No sooner had I entered than the door closed with a heavy I sound, and I heard rolling and rolling in the distance my name as I was thus introduced to the society of the damned.— Onward andonward I found myself travi ehng; and ever and anon as I passed by some poor wretch writhing in all the mi - . ery of the lost, I would turn my eyes to I catch one look of sympathy, on« glance of I commiseration for my fate, but in vain.— 1 All seemed to look upon me with a drea II lul horror, and pointing their burnt fin- , gers of scorn as I passed, whispered to earch other, 'Hell is disgraced'. Hell is '.disgraced'.’ Hurrying (aster on, lat last; found myself before an open door, having printed overhead in letters of fire the words, 'En’er and receiue thy doom'.’ I entered, and there in the middle of a large apartment was raised a throne of living fire and upon it sat the most awful being I ever beheld On his head was a crown of living scorpions and around his neck and coiled in his bosom was the ; deadly rattlesnake. I had but a short i time to look; when, in a voice of thunder ; |he said to me, ‘Who art thou?’ And through the long arches through which I Iliad passed came tie answer, ‘Jefferson D ivis, Jefferson Davis! Hell is disgraced—east him out! Transfixed with hor-| ror, the Devil seemed to gazi upon me, an 1 in a voice of awful depth and hardness, said tn me, Jefferson Davis, once upon a time, I wbo know sit here, Jailor of the damned, ambitious to be something greater than the greatest, rebelled and was cast forth, and this sentence was passed upon me—to sink down to Hell and have domain over all the iniquity of the world until a greater than I should appear, when I should be released and m v dominion be given to him. Jefferson Davis, long have I waited, long have I tempted, but in vain, until to dav you appe r before me loaded down with a crime that even I shudder as I see you. Jefferson Davis, said he rising, take my seat and crown.’ As he uttered those nwlul

words, my blood seemed to freeze in my - veins and the must horrid wail of agony s rose from the myriad of the damned, and i with a shout I awoke, trembling in every , limb, a cold perspiration all over me and t broil daylight streaming in through my I windows; T'ne scenes seemed to real , and my doom so prophetic, that it preyd, Upon me like a canker, and 1 find myself I Utlaide te cist it off. Davis here ceased ", speaking, and tliey botli rose and unlockI ing t'he door passed out, and as they passed, 1 caught a glimpse otjliem, amt I ib-v.-r till the day of my de ith sliiifll 1 - forget the haggartd, careworn faces of i those two traitors. — ¥lu m ps/iire Gazette. Older No. It—A Mystery. General Hunter’s Abolition proebma--1 tiou according to the fullowing, from the New York Correspondence of the I’hila- ■ d Iphia Press, has a curious secret his- ’' torv. 'Copies of General Hunter's Order s N> ll(siystiie writer), were in lids ci 1 ly several days previous to Thursday * the day it was given to the pubbe. Mr Hiram B irney, the Collector of the 1 ort, i had it in ills possession, and il was he * ' wiio S *nt it to the newspapers for public i ' ; ion. It is understood to have reached I him via Washington.’ *; Sundry questions, just here, are forced ’ionone's mind. How many days was that proclamation in this city, previous ’ to publication? Why was it thus so studiously k-pt secret? Why should it first see the lig ht of day, not as other military orders, in the public journals, but. ’; through the medium of the Collector ol 'lthePort? Wliat could b« the motive of : its original custofians at Washingion senI I ding it on to him? U any body can give 1 ,an intelligib'e answer to these qu-ries, the mysterious official and semi official manipulations of this now famous pr< c' a-. mation may he, what they certainly are not now, susceptible ot explanation.

This was in violation of the ; solemn pledges made in July last not to interfere with the local institutions of the ; States. This br-ach of faith could not beJustified on the ground of necessity, for; i the strongest necessities of the war were ; upon the country when we made tnat [ pledge. Tlie rebellion was to be put ; down by the -army, not by legislation Mr. Sedwick favored the employment of I slaves to cru«h the rebellion, both of io*,*-; al and disloyal masters compensating those of loval masters and giving free-{ t dom to those of rebel masters. Mr Mallarv opposed confiscation, but. 1 favored hanging traitors, and offered a substitute to punish by fine and impris[oiinient all persons found guilty of aiding the enemy. Mr. Blair favored confiscation, argil-1 i ing that emancipation would accomplish nothing. Il» opposed an army of negroes but favored colonizing them. — Capture of a Rebel Prize.

Washington, Miv 23—It has been; i ascertained from an authentic source tliat the expenditures of the Government j from April, 1861, to the present time, have not averaged one million per day.— This may be considered a refutation of ' tho ex igerated reports upon the subject.

The advance, under General Stoneman, readied Coal Harbor, on Hie rea l running to Richmond by via of New Bridge, yesterday, whe»e he found the enemy to be in force. He drove their pickets into within two miles of their main body and encamped for the night. Every thing indicates that the rebi-L intend to defend Richmond with all tlie available force they can bring forward — Congressmen and Representatives from every Southern Slate are there, encouraging their troops bv their presence and counsel to a determined resistance to the advance of Uuiou t oops.
