T1Ji,

WHAT were all these great poets of whom we now talk so much, what were they in their lifetime? The most miserable of their species. Depressed, doubtful, obscure, or involved in petty quarrels or petty precautions, often unappreciated, utterly uninfluential, beggars, flatterers of men unworthy even of their recognition—what a train of disgustful incidents, what a record of degrading circumstances is the life of a great poet? A man of great energies aspires that he should be felt in his lifetime, that his existence should be rendered more intensely vital by the constant consciousness of his multiplied and multiplying power. Is posthumous fame a substitute for all this? Viewed in every light and under every feeling it is like a mockerv. Nay, even try the greatest by this test, and what is the result? Would you sooner have been Homer or Julius Cfesar, Shakspeare or Napoleon No one doubts. Moralists may cloud truth with every possible adumbration of cant, but the nature of our being gives the lie to all their assertions. We are active beings, and our sympathy above all sympathies is with great actiou.—Ind. Journal. —ifl.

The West India cable has tpet with ail accident. After beginning tb pay the deep sea cable toward Santiago, a defect was discovered in the cable already laid .ftcroea the shallows.

THE talked of new telegraph office in this place has not yet been established —Journal.

And don't you hope" it will never be established, so that you, and the enter prising proprietor of the Express, can continue your little monopoly of the Associated Press Dispatches? But the hope will do you no good, for you and the said proprietor will wake up some Monday morning, after drinking Sunday whisky the night before, and to your disconsolate astonishment, will find a new and cheap line of telegraph, right under your nose.

THE SUNDAY LAW.—The Gazette,

(is the

organ of the Sunday lawpeo.ple.—Journal. The GAZETTE is the organ of no people, or sect, or society, but is the advocate of what it believes to be right and this it will do without any advice from any people, scct, or society. It will ad vocate the enforcement of the laws, and the punishment of the violators thereof and particularly will it advocate the enforcement of Sabbath laws, and the punishment of those whose parsimony prompts them t(f*keep open saloons on that day, and sell poison to young men, and assist in making drunk old ones.

INTERNAL REVENUE LAW.—The following are some of the changes in the Internal Revenue Law, which may be of interest to the readers of this paper:* "After the 1st day of ay, J87I, all special taxes, (licenses) are repealed, except those on brewers, distillers, fruit distillers, rectifiers, wholesale and retail liquor dealers,. tobacco and cigar manufacturers, dealers in cigars, leaf aad all kinds of manufactured tobacco.

After the 1st day of October, 1870, the taxes on articles in schedule "A" (as carriages, l)iard tables, gold watches, gold and silver plate) on legacies and successions on passporis and on gTOSS receipts, are then repealed.

Alter the 1st day of October, 1870, the several taz.es on sales, except tales on leaf tobacco, manufactured tobacco, snuff, cigars, foreign and domestic distilled spirits and wines ave repealed.

That afYer the 1st day of October, 1870, promissory notes for a less sum than §100,000, and receipts for any soit of money, or for the payments of debts, require no revenue stamps, also after that date packages of canned and preserved fish, (sardines, &c.,) need not be stamped.

The income tax will be assessed and collected yet for the year 1870 and 1871, and no longer at 2K per cent, instead of 5 per cent, the exemption will be §2000,00 instead of §1000,00 as hereto/'ore.

ROCICVILLE, August 20, 1870.

Editor Terre Haute Oazetie: I understand that Dan Voorhees is statinglhat the reason he gave me fifty cents for shaving him at Rockville is that I had been his hostler and had taken care of his horses. This is not true, as I never had any acquaintance with Voorhees until he came into my shop to be shaved. On presenting him the forty cents change he insisted upon me keeping the whole. I done so, not dreaming that he would turn out and slander me. I know my profession is not regarded so high as many others, but it is honest, and I have always tried to make a living honestly. To assert that I was a hostler for him during the war when 100,000 men of my race was in the army defending the flag of our country, and he calling them Lincoln dogs, ancl proposing to go south with 100,000 men to help the rebels of the south, is a slander upon me, my profession, and my race, that I will not submit to. PATRICK THOMAS.

Tlsc Highest, Waterfalls in the World. Here, jammed into a space of eight miles long and half a mile wide, is some of the most wonderful scenery in the world. Right through the middle of the valley runs the Merced river, clear, swift and crooked over opposite, at our left, looms up El Captain, its height more thaai the width of the valley, so that should it fall over, its head would rest on the other side behind, coming down the perpendicular face of the rock, clinging to or swaying from it, is a ribbon fall like a bright steel shaving more than two thousand feet long. The thunder of water which we have heard continually is the grand Yosemite Falls, making their triple leap of over twenty-five hundred feet, a height more than fourteen times as high as Niagara. There it rolls, but a mile or more from where we stand, its three cataracts in full view and apparently close at hand. The very first leap of the great avalanche of water is the highest cataract in the world—1,500 feet. Starting in a compact mass, spreading as it descends to a wide sheet of foam till it strike, then gathering its force it pours over again a fall of 626 feet, and lastly a third little fall of 450 feet.— Yoseit

WHEN General Sherman "cut loose," and commenced his great sweep through rebel States to the sea and thence to Raleigh, there were months during which no reliable information of him could be obtained. Of rebel reports we had more than enough. Almost every day, anxious friends watching for tidings of 'the safety of a brother, a father or a friend in Sherman's army, were tortured by accounts of its utter demolition, frightful slaughter, and complete rout, and the keen anxiety, thus constantly intensified, was with dilliculy restrained by the ftict that the only news that could come was from hostile sources, and that the rebels both had the disposition to lie and the fixed habit of lying. In due season Sherman- came out of the thick darkhess, and then for the first time we had a glimpse of his progress and his victories.

Those who are eagerly watching the German advance are in much the same predicament,

A PICNIC of the Savage organization" of Fenians came off |at Jones' Woods, New York, Wednesday, and was attended by over 6,000 persons. John Savage made a speech, condemning the recent fights between the Orange and Green ruffians, and reminded his brethren that since the re-establishment of the Irish Church the Orangemen had become Nationalists. He also alluded to the present war, and advised Irishmen to refrain from taking sides until Ei^gland became involved. iv

LIMERICK, August 19.—An immense mob of sympathizers with the French cause paraded the streets of Limerick last evening, and organized a demonstration to celebrate the victory reported to have been achieved by the French near Metz. Great bon-fires of tar barrels and other inflamable substances, in various parts of the city. Many of the participants carried lighted torches, and on supports were transported blazing tar barrels. When the police demanded that the procession should disband and that the fires should be extinguished, the mob refused to accede to either of the demands find the police charged the mass and secured the ringleaders. A desperate struggle ensued, the mob made a determined rush on the constables who stood their ground alid beat off their assailants, who were completely routed and put to flight. Many persons were seriously injured with bludgeons, stones and other missiles. The police were reinforced and succeeded in making many arrests.

NEW YORK, August 19.—Special telegrams from Carlzruhe "35y the demands of the King of Prussiavare stated to be

First, That he be declared Emperor of Germany. Second, That tlie Province of Alsace, together with the city of Strasburg, be given to the Grand Duchy of Baden.

Third, That Bavaria receive full money compensation in consideration of her services and expenses in the war.

Fourth, That Napoleon III be deposed, and that an Orlean Prince be placed upon the Throne of France.

The feeling in England and Germany is universal in favor of these conditions. Advices received there from Copenhagen, this morning, inform us that the French blockade of the Baltic ports has been declared effective. Ten days are allowed for all vessels running out.

Special dispatches received, state that the French have not been driven any further, and that they are fighting more resolutely, and that even the French population in New York are hopeful of success.

Private dispatches say that the French army has turned the tide of battle. The situation from a French point of view is as follows 1st. The advance of the Prussians has received a decided check at Mars la tour South of Etau and a little West of Metz, on the road to Verdun.

This battle was fought between the main body of the French army under Marshal Bazaine, and the flower of the German army, under Prince Frederick Charles, of Prussia, and resulted in a victory for the French, in so far that they remained masters of the position, and decidedly repulsed the attempt of the Germans to cut all communication between Metz, Verdon, Etau and Chalons, and the present position of the main body of the French army under the command of Marshal Bazaine.

General Trochu is in command of the Second Grand 3Vrmy of France, at Paris and Chalons. He is making the most energetic efforts to have everything ready for a determined resistance. I/1

The spirit in Demaral of the army under his command seems to be good, and he seems to have the confidence not only of his army but of the people of Paris.

The German armies are gathering between the Mozelle and Meus and the cities of Metz, Nancy, Saul and Verdun, in large numbers. But, cautioned by the determined resistance of the French, are loth to advance .on to Chalons before having made things safe on their flanks to the north where Bazaine is, but they have not succeeded in doing so, in spite of the most determined efforts.

A Paris special declares that if the French are victorious over the Prussians, they will seize at once upon Belgium and defy England.

The following has just been received here: MARACAIBO, 2:20 A. M.—A high handed proceeding has lately been perpetrated a( Laguyra by CommanderKnoea, ot his Prussian Majesty's gunboat Meteor, in obedience to the dictates of the diplomatic corps at Coracos,. which is composed of tiie rebel leader Guzman iflaneo, and his mto&teirs who are not acknowledged by any leading power. General Hernando, who is at present at the head of affairs under the name of the Moegas government. The ports of Laguyra and Porto Cabello were recently declared in a state

of blockade, and a Venezuelan man-of-war was ordered to cruise near the entrance of these ports, and at all hazards to maintain the blockade, which was rendered more effective by the presence of the fleet under the command of Hernando.

At half past seven, on the morning of the 16th, the Mariposa was coming near the entrance to Laguyra when she sighted a steamer carrying the French flag. She immediately fired- a gun for the steamer to lay to, but, instead of obeying the order, the stranger continued on her way to the port of Laguyra. She afterwards proved to be one of the line of French mail steamers. Very soon after the Mariposa discovered a steamer coming out of Laguyra, having a flag of truce at her foretop. This proved to be the North German gunboat,. Meteor. The Mariposa moved forward to meet her, and when within hailing distance, a boat was lowered from the Meteor and an officer from her came on board the Mariposa, bearing a note couched in the following terms

ONBOARD THE STEAME't METEOR, July 16th 1870. To the Commander of the Mariposa:

Sir—I have the honor to inform you that I have received positive orders from the Diplomatic Corps of Carracus to protect vessels of all nations in their entrance of sailing from this port, with the exception of such vessels as sail under Venzuelian flag and to repel by force any attempt made to prevent vessels plying between ports of this Republic' from entering or leaving this port. In making this communication I beg to request you to transmit the same to the commanders of of vessels sailing under your flag. Begging you to favor me with a report of whatever resolution you may come to, I have the honor to be [Signed] E. KNORR. Comd'r.

On reading the extraordinary note of the commander of the Meteor, the officer in command of the Mariposa thought there were some neutral rights which should be respected by other nations, and he consequently refrained from committing himself by a written reply untill he had communicated with his superior officers, but contented himself with sending to Commander Knorr a verbal answer, which, however, the German officer declined accepting. Returning to the Meteor, the officer reported the result of the interview, and was, in consequence, immediately dispatched with the following note:

ON BOARD STEAMER METEOR, July 16, 1870. To the Commander of the Mariposa: iS'ir:—Asyou have of your own resolve, not taken into consideration the action of the diplomatic corps, made known to you, in my note of to-day, I hereby declare your vessel attached, and demand that you lower your flag within five minutes from.the receipt hereof, otherwise I shall take your vessel by force. [Signed] E. KNORR, Commander.

In reply to this, the Commander of the Mariposa said that he would immediately proceed and report to his Chief the action of the commander of the North German steamer, but he positively refused to lower his flag, saying that the Mariposa should be sunk with all on board before such a dastardly act should be committed.

This answer was conveyed to the Meteor, who immediately steamed within gunshot of the Mariposa, and further parley was had, and the Meteor immediately made ready for action. The Captain of the Mariposa protested and sent a dispatch to his government, and said that if the commander of the Meteor persisted in his course he indicated, Gen. Hernandez should deem it incumbent on him to confiscate all the property of the Germans within his jurisdiction, to indemnify his government for consequence for the action of the commander of the Meteor.

CINCINNATI, August" 20.—A fire at 12:30 o'clock this morning destroyed an extensive planing mill, door and sash factory belonging to Wm. Jamison & Co., 489 west 6th street. General alarm was given and the entire fire department summoned. The fire originated in the second story, and soon extended to the upper floors, containing a large amount of finished work, and together with water destroyed stock worth $40,000 or $45,000 insured for $50,000. The flames at first were fierce and threatened the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad passenger depot, but a number of streams soon checked them. The fire was stubborn and still burning at 2 A. M.
