HOMELESS.
It is cold dark midnight, yet listen
To that patter of tiny feet 1
Is it one. of your dogs, fair lady,
Who whines in the bleak, cold street?
Is it one of jour silken spaniels
Shut out in the BDQW and sleet?
My dogs Bleep warn En their baskets,
Safe Irom the darkness and snow;
All the beasts in our Christian  England
Find pity wherever tbey go—
Those are onlv ibe homeless children
Who are wandering to and fro.
Look out in the gusty darkness—
1 have seen ii again and again,
Tfaat shadow that flits so slowly
Op and down past tlie window pane :
ft is BUrely Borne criminal linking
Out there in the frozen tain;
Nav, our Criminals all are sheltered.
They ure pitied, and taught, and fed :
That is only a Bister woman,
Who has got neither food nor bed—
And the Night cries "sin to be living,''
And the River Olios -'sin to be dead."
Look out at thai fai thest corner,
Where ihe waif stands blank and bare;
Can that be a pack which a pedlar
Has left and forgotten there r
His eoods lying nut i:"jhe;;ered
Will be spoilt by the damp night air.
Nay ; goods in our thrifty England
Are not left to lie and grow rotten,
For each man knows the market value
Of silk, or woollen or cotton.
But in counting tho riches of England,
I think our poor aro forgotten.
Our Beasts, and our Thieves, and our Chattel-;
Have weight for good or for il!;
But the poor are only His image,
His presence, His word, Bis will—
And so Lazarus lies at our door step,
Aud Dives neglects hhn still.

Particulars of (lu Capture of Independence, illo.
St. LOUIS, Aug. 13.—Tho regular dispatches
from Kansas City state that a battle took place at
Independence, Mo,, on tho ilih, about 8o'oloek
between the Federal forces numbering 350 men,
under Lieut. CoLBuel, and from 500 to COO guerrillas under the notorious Col. Hughes, assisted
by Quautrel and Hayes, resulting in the complete
rout and surrender of our troops. The loss ou
either side is unknown. It appears the town was
surprised about 3 A. M., a simultaneous movement
being made upon the camp, Buel'a headquarters
and the Provost Marshal's office which were some
distance apart. The Provost Marshal's office was
entered by citizens professing loyalty, the arms
taken and used against tho Federal troops. The
lighting lasted about four hours. The troops, almost without officers, hotly contested the ground,
sheltering themselves behind trees, fences aud
stables. Capt. Thomas, of tho militia, was taken
prisoner almost at the onset. At one time, it is
reported, the guerrillas were about giving up the
ground and retiring belore the destructive lire of
our men, and Capt. Thomas was brought out of
the house where he was confined aud immediately
Bhot dead.
At this juncture a white flag appeared at Col.
Buel's headquarters, when the guerrillas returned
and took possession of all who remained, except
Lieut. Harrington and one hundred and fifty men,
who cut their way through the eaemy aod made
good their escape. Most of the prisoners were
paroled by taking the oath not to take up arms.
All who were present agree iu stating that there
-were no mounted pickets stationed outside the
town that night. A large quantity of arms,
some 200,000 rounds of ammunition, and other
Government property fell into the hands of tbe
enemy.
PROM   MEXICO.
The intelligence from the city of Mexico is to the
23d July. The French and Mexicans still retained
their previous positions. The former had sent a
traiu of supplies froniYera Cruz to Orizaba, after
much difficulty. During seven mouths not a package of merchandise had been sent from Vera Cruz
to Mexico. There are two roads between the two
cities—one by way of Jalapa, the other by the
way of Orizaba. The latter being in the hands of
the French, Juarez has prohibited the admission
of gooda coming that way ; and Almonte, the rival President, has prohibited the departure of
gooda from Vera Cruz by way ef Jalapa.
The British authorities, representing the wisheB
Of British merchants, protested bitterly to the
French against their support of Almonte, and the
consequence was that the French treated Almonte
and his Mexican rebel friends witb much less respect than before.
It was rumored that Almonte and Saligny were
to leave the country together, and if they should,
peace might soon be re-established.
A French steamer had arrived at Vera Cruz
with c00 troops aboard, there bad been a battle
near Chiquihuite. The killed on both sides numbered GOO, aud among them was Col. Fauchet, in
command of the French.
Tun New Postage Stamp Cukkkxcv.—Eastern
intelligence says that the designs for the postage
stamps to be used as currency have been adopted,
aud  were at last advices in the hands of the engraver.   They arc to be of four  denominations,
i: Five, ten, twenty-five and fifty cents.    They
11 all be printed ou the same paper that the
Treasury  notes  are printed on, and  were to  be
■ady lor delivery In ten or twelve days.
The five cent will be two and five-eights inches
ng and one inch and three-quarters wide—color
•own.    0\i the upper corners will be the deuom-
aiiou, in white ligtives ou a dark ground.    In the
centre, occupying the position of a vignette, wil'
be the live cent postage stamp, with a figure ''5'
In geometrical lathe work on each side.
Tbe tweutyfives will be the same aa the above'
except that the vignette will be five 5-cent Btamps
overlapping each other, and the bill be three Inches long.
Tiie fen cent wlH be the same length and breadth
as tlie five—color green. The ten cent stamp will
form the vignette, with "10" on each side, the
same as on. the five cent bill; and in all other respects it will be the same.
Tlie fifties will be more in conformity with the
lens, aud the vignette will be five ten cent stamps
overlapping.
Over the designs, as above described, will be
the words "Postage stamps furnished by the Assistant Treasurers aud designated Depositaries ot
the United Slates;'- and under "Receivable for
postage sfanips al any posiuHico.'' In Hie middle
of tha lower part of the notes will be "U.S." in
large letters. Large figures (In lathe work) denoting the denomination will be In tho centre o-
■ the back of each "stamp or "note" surrounded by
. the words "Uxehaiigeable for United Slates notes
by auy Assistant Treasurer or designated United
States Depositary, in sums not less than 5(5. Receivable in payment of all dues to the United
Stales less than $5. Act approved ,1'nly 17, ISd^."
The notes will be executed in the highest style ol
t, aud every possible precaution will be taken to prevent couterfeititig.

about
Vtar
The  Federal  Tax Will.
It is two and forty years since Sydney Smith
in words which now read like prophecies, wrote
as follows:
" We can Inform Jonathan what are the inevlta
ble consequences oi being too fond of glory : Taxes
upon every af tide which enters into the mouth, or
covers the back, or is placed under the foot—taxes
upon everything which it is pleasant to see, hear-
feel, smell or taste—taxes upon warmth, light, and
locomotion—taxes on everything on earth, and thi
waters under the earth—en everything that comes
irom abroad, or is grown at borne—taxes on the raw
material—taxes on every fresh value that is added
to it by the industry of man—taxes on sauce whici
pampers man's appetite, and the drugs that restore him to health—on the ermine whioh decorates the judge, and the rope which hangs the criminal—on the poor man's salt, and the rich man's
spice—ou the brass nails of the coffin and th.
ribbons of the bride—at bed or board, couchan*
or levant, we must pay. Tbe schoolboy whips h:
taxed top—the beardless youth manages his taxed
horse, with a taxed bridle, en a taxed toad : and
the dying Englishman, pouring his medicine,
which has paid 7 per cent., into a spoon that has
paid 15 per cent., flings himself back upon his
chintz bed, which has paid 22 per ceut., and expires In the arms of en apothecary who paid a license of a hundred pounds for the privilege o
putting bim to death. His whole property isthen
immediately taxed from 2 to 10 per e-nt. Besides
the probate, large fees are demanded for burying
him in the, chancel: bis Tlrtues are handed down
to posterity on taxed marble : and he is then gathered to his fathers—to be taxed no more."
I confess, that when I left Contra Costa
days since, for Washoe, I knew but little
this country. I had heard aud read a great deal
Of the wealth and growth of Washoe, but the evidences of industry, thrift, enterprise, and wealth
which I have seen all along the route, from PIa-
cerville to this place, has exceeded by far anything I had anticipated. It is useless for mo to
attempt to contrast this country and tho route
to it from California, as it now appears, and as
compared with its appearance, and what it was
in 1S-1G np to 1849 ; for if I should say to a person
who crossed the Plains, and the Sierra Nevada
mountains iu 1847, that I could drive a carriage
aud trot my horses, every foot of the way from
Sacramento- City to Carson river below the mountains, and pass a tavern aud water my horses in a
trough every half hour while traveling on the
road, he would hardly believe what I would say—
and yet such is the fact.
And if I should say that nearly all the timber
laud on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountains and west of the eastern summit of that
interesting   ridge of hills lying  along the road,
was fenced he would say,  " That is a whopper I"
and still that Is almost a fact.    And if I were to
continue my narrative by saying that in traveling
north along or near tho eastern skirt of the pine
timber growing on the eastern slope of the Sierra
Nsvadas, a distance of twenty-eight miles from
the lower end of Carson Meadows, or a poiut about
twenty-five   milts below, where the river leaves
the celebrated Carson Canon, I passed six to
each one containing at least oue church and school
house, and two of them containing a Court House,
with all the appendages and the appurtenances]
thereunto belonging or in any way appertaining,
with a small sprinkling of gentlemen of the legal
fraternity, to keep the people out of lawsuits*
and doctors enough to keep tho people well, and)
plenty of men, women, and babies in all of them,
nnd that at least nine- miles of that trip I passed
through a lane with farms,  pastures  and  fences I ■■
each side of the road, the man who in 1846 or t
1847 loBt his oxen or mules, burned his wagons, or I fo
perhaps buried  some near  friend on these  same j a
plains or hills, would pronounce me a very
unreliable fellow,  and one disposed to hoax; yet  .
II these things which I would say to him are substantially true, and 1 frankly  confess that, I could  ''
hardly  myself have believed  that such was the f
fact until I had seen them xyself.
From tint San Francisco News-Letter.
God Help Our Generals.—McClellan was nicknamed, by the press, " The Young Napoleon of
the West." He was represented to be snperhumau,
and expected to act as a god. Not coming up to
the mark, he Is now marked out for abuse. We
perceive that Halleck is pronounced to be " more
Weltiugtoaiau than Napoleonic." Halleck we believe to be an able man, but it is unjust and contemptible to call him a Wellington. According to
the penny-a-liners, wc have now two great Captains, "The Young Napoleon of the West," and
"Tbe Elderly Wellington of the "West."—What
u ext! 	
Sigel and.McDowei.l—The thundering-lie-graph
announces that the former General shot the latter
General " dead with his own baud." Such is not
the case ;—he shot him dead with a pistol, and
afterwards chawed him up and swallowed him.
Our report is just a probable as the other—the reliable Pi ess to the contrary.

chosen as the national emblem ofthe Green Isle is
perhaps as little known as the identity ol the plant
itself. It is this : St, Patrick, unable to make his
hearers comprehend the meaning of the word
Trinity, despairingly cast his eyes on the ground
'n prayer for some means whereby "he might enlighten the Gentiles," when, espying the little trefoil shamrock at his teet, he plucked it, and, holding it up on high, pointed to three leaves on one
stem as the emblem of his doctrine, to the easy
comprehension of his listeners. It, Is no doubt one
of the two British species of oralis, as the Tre-
foRum repeme or Dutch clover was not introduced to Ireland at that early period.

■HIE PIS ASK THE M.i;ni,K.
BY  3. If.  ROCKWELL,
In a lady's silken work] bag
Lay a needle and a pin,
And they lell out at loggerheads,
And quarreled long within.
In a truly haughty manner,
The jibing pin, 'tis said,
Flung up unto his neighbor
That he nover had a head.
Quick turned the needle on the pia,
This truth you can't deny,
Although you boast of one small head,
You caunot of an eye.
Prithee, what use, the pin exclaimed,
If any, forward bring it ;
Admit you have one small squint eye,
There's always something in it.
I'm far more active than yourself,
Laborious night and day,
I quilt, and stitch, and mend nod make,
While you work leas than play.
At! quoth"the* p'in, tbis'-may be*o,
Bat then your life is short ;
Why, said the needle, tell ine, sir,
Your grounds for this retort.
Give ear at once to what. I say,
And listen to my speech :
Sir, in your lank nnd slender side,
You always have a stiteh.
You crooked creature of n pin,
The needle quick replied,
You soon grow old and ugly, too,
Which cannot be deuied.
And you are proud, returned the pin,
St) proud, you even lack
The common sense to bend, and savo
The breaking of your back.
If you insult me thus again,
I'll pull your head straight off;
■'Tis quite unbearable to lie
And take your jibes aud scoff.
And  I'll put out your boastful eye,
The pin roused up and said,
Remember, sir, your very life
Hangs on a single, thread.
While thus the quarrel rose and fell,
A miss, some three feet high,
Who undertock to bem a cloth,
Broke out ihe needle's eye.
She took the pin and tied the thread
Its willing neck around,
But soon she pulled the head quite off,
Aud tiitew it on the ground.
Well, here we are, ^lie needle said,
Both lying side by side.
We've nothing now to fight about,
The headless pin replied.
Misfortune brings us to our sense,
This fact, the pin talked o'er ;
What pity, then, the needle said,
It had not come before.
This fable fitly represents
The course of human kind,
Who jest and jeer at others1 faults,
Of person or of mind.
Till each of honors lies disrobed,
A spectacle forlorn,
Instead of sharing sympathy,
They share the passer's scorn.
Nor brethren do they find they ate,
Until together He,
Side by side, in hutial float,
The bad, the good, the proud, the just,
Unmoved by envy or distrust,
Beneath the arch hi 2 sky.

Effect ofliio Sew Order relative to Drafting.
New York, August 11th, 1862.
Eos. Alta :—The new order restricting theerni
gration of persons liable to draft, and icrb'idding
them to absent themselves from the county or State
to which they belong, has created an unusual stir
among those who were preparing to shirk miliary
duty. The necessity for this order bad become apparent. The rush for passports has been astounding,
it has beeu ascertained that this sudden increase ol
passengers for Europe was occasioned by the ske-
dadling of persons liable to be drafted. Id this
immediate vicinity numbers of the chivalry of Maryland have been making preparations for an extemporized summer tour among the Alps. Complaints have also been recieved that thousands of
young men irom Ohio have betaken themselves to
Kentucky or Canada to be out ol the way about tbe
15th of August. The new order will bring these
renegades all up standing, and compel them to con.
tribute either their*personal services or their mon
ey to the prosecution of the war for the Union.
Travel between State aud State is now entirely
interrupted unless the party first procure a passport
from the Police Department, and proves himself
not liable to be drafted. In consequence of this
what at first may appear autocratic order, thebusi
ness of tbe hotels, aud railroad aud steamboat companies, haB almost entirely suspended, No one, either, can move (rem one ward to another under
penalty of at ouce being impressed by a Policeman
into the military service, carried to the nearest
military depot, aud there hurried oil to the wars.
The Policeman, in return, recieves $5 from the
Government for this service. In many cases the
order has worked very oppressively.
The population of this city has fallen off one-half
from its former number since the order to datft, has
been promulgated, and Broadway and other at one
time thickly populated streets, are almost dessrted.
You may walk blocks now without meeting an
able bodied man. You see no one on the corners,
the saloons are deserted, and theatres and other
public places, slim and meagre. New York City
alone has sent 38,000 men to tho wars, besides furnishing most of the sailors and marines for the
navy ; while the balance of the States has sent off
but about 30,000. The new order to draft the additional 300,000 men, and compelling xhis city to
furnish its quota on the basis of what its former
population was, falls with extreme severity on it8
present inhabitants. Rates cf all kinds of labor
have advanced in consequence, a hundred per cent.'
and laborers and artisans cannot be readily obtain
ed even at this premium.
The stampede from here beats your Fraser River

lo avoid ihe draft. In fact, the exodus from the
city became so great that some portions were about
being depopulated, and landlords were looking on
in consternation. Those leaving were principally
foreigners, though many had beeu naturalized and
were liable to be drafted.
Conductors 00 city railroads, considered here a
good paying position, have resigned by scores, and
hurried off to parts unknown. The various foreign
Consuls offices have been thronged, and Ihe streets
in front of them crowded with persons to get out
papers and passports. Tho European steamers are
searched daily, and those unfortunates who have

off to the nearest military depot and forced into the
ranks. The California steamers are alone the exception, aud high premiums are now offered for
berths on board of them. In this way, you wil-
receive a large addition to your population while
thfl war lasts,
Indeed, New York has never before saSfcred from
such a panic as she is now undergoing. Property
and stock of all kinds have tumbled down, and
business for the  nonce completely paralyzed.
There has been some rioting and stabbing and
cutting affrays between the police and the balanc"
of the people that have remalmd here. The Secretary's orders are of rather doubtful policy in the
present feverish condition of the public mind, and
many condemn it as harsh in the extreme- and unnecessary In view ot the fact that inside of one
month, 300,000 new volunteers have been ready for
the field, and over a million able-bodied men since
tho commencement of the war have been takeu
from the loyal States. Thus, we are really beginning to feel the full effects of the gigantic rebel-
situation of affulrs With tlie Virginia
We learn but little of our army movements, or
tbe details of any of tbe encounters they have beeu
engaged in. We've never yet had published au of
ficial report of the battles of Pittsburg Landing or
Shiloh as some call it, or of "Fair Oaks," "Seven
Pines," or the recent series of seven days terrible
fighting in tbe neighborhood of Richmond, Tbe
lisle ot killed or wounded or their numbers are sup
pressed, whether by authority or the censorship of
the press, we are unable to say,
Officers of regiments engaged sometimes send on
lists of killed and wounded to the local paper where
regiment was raised, and in this way aud only
manner can we ever approximate, not very carefully however, the L'nioa losses.
The papers are filled with advertisements from
parents, relatives and friends of soldiers, asking
information oi their whereabouts—or if alive
wounded or dead,
Quartermaster-General Meigs reports that, four
mouths ago, wc had eight hundred regiments of all
arms in the field—in all, seven hundred thousand
men—hes'des more thau oue hundred partly organized regiments, scattered about the country.
When the last call was made for 300,000 additional
volunteers,we had not more than 320,000 effectives
in the various commands. Tbe new call, however,
is now quite lull, nearly every State furnishing its
full quota of volunteers, and some more than their
number. Not quite a month has elapsed, up to this
writing, since this call was made ; yet tbe men were
ready, armed, equipped and uniformed, aud many
of them now on their way to the seat of hostilities-
The third call for 300,000 militia, to be drafted, is
not embraced in any of the above estimates ; and
it seems now, from Ihe determination evinced on
both sides, that life against life is to be pitted, and
new ones take their places, until the weaker side
in men must succumb for the want of more flesh
aud blood for grim, bloody war", to feed npon.
In endeavoring to explain the paucity of men
actually in service, with the statements of the official rolls, many errors have been made, oue of
which is, estimating that a large portion are absent
on leave of absence. This must he Incorrect. The
regiments in the field since the 1st of January last,
have been greatly augmented io size ; and, also,
their ranks, at that time pretty well thinned, have
been filled up with new recruits before tbe late severe fighing. Now most of the regiments will not
average 400 men, out of an original 1000 * besides
the new recruits from time to time added to their
numbers. Where are they? not all sick or on for
lough. There arc only about 30,000 in all Lhe hospitals, and the rest—aye the missing—where are
they? Yes, gone to a soldier's and patriot's grave,
and scarce a passing word uttered of their devotion
to their flag and country, or the melancholy satisfaction recorded as to the name ot the battle field
they fell on, whether in victory or defeat, or by
what insidious malignant epidemic, which is now
racing among our camps en the James river, mysteriously called Peninsula fever. The ravages A
the war. so far, have been frightful, and the loss of
life, terrible : yet every thing is being dooeby
the Commander-in-Cbief and the Surgeon General
of the army, to finish up the rebellion by crushing
victories and to ameliorate the condition 0! the
men under their command. The only complaint
is in not furnishing the public with the official reports of the battles, if victories or not, with the
real lost, whether it comes in a list containing a
hundred thousand names or a few thousand. General Sickles, who came on here to recruit his exhausted brigade, last week, stated in a speech that
out of 5,000 meu be could now muster about 1,200
bayonets : and called upon the war meeting he was
addressing, to fill up hia brigade to its former
fighting trim.
Gen. Meagher, cf the Irish brigade, at a meeting
previous to this one, when asked bow mauy he bad
under bis command, frankly admitted he had but
about fifteen hundred, and completely amazed bis
hearers by atating that the gallant Irish Sixty-niuth
out of eleven hundred meu with which it went to
left. People are horror-struck at the immense loss
which some of the regiments and brigades have suffered, and it is ouly recently they have discovered
thecuiseol it—and that te, the larger half by sick*
lewi wcl Iheother half through their unskilful
management, iu the lace of the enemy, by political generals, who oftentimes order up their commands in the face ol a 1, ttery, ouly to be mowed
down by scores, instead ol saving them by taking
it by tho flank or feint columns ol attack. How
different the condition of the regular troops.
Few of them die by camp diseases, aud few, comparatively, Irom the bullets of the enemy, though
in tbe thick of the fray, because they are well
handled, and their offioera know how to bring
them under fire when it is necessary, and tako
them out of it witl.out trouble, risk, or confusion.
The great curse of this war, next to tbe rebels
themselves and their infamous barbarities, is the
large nmber of thieving "contractors, aud sneaking
contemptible politicians, who have beim warmed
into life as colonels, generals, lbr.iiiciers and slates-
men— many of them meu ot low lODlincts and
doubtful oharact ir.

Honest Old Abe has been surrounded by a coterie
of fanatics oue day, aud a few conservatives the
next from the Middle and Border States. He has
been under this cross fire for some months, tha
radicals urging one policy, and the conservatives
another until, drivcu to the wall, he has endeavored to conciliate both by currying out each other's
measures aud recommendations: and by this sort
of policy, wiih a divided Cabinet, the Administration has attempted to drift through the war. We
see evidences of this on all sides of us, Hunter,
who issues his emancipation proclamations, which,
to suit the conservative portion of tbe country
are publicly repudiated by the President, but by
the Cabinet he is secretly enjoined to carry them
out—fifty thousand sfaud stand of arms sent him
to incite servile insurrection and arm the negroes,
and yet the President docs not remuve him, when
there are scores of military men out of commaind,
and would only be too grateful to assist in restoring our once happy and united country, and punishing tbe rebels while upholding the Constitution,
(he very pillar and foundation of our political
existence as a Republic.
Fremont, too, alter all his fatal military blunders,
and the robbery aud pillerings of those whom he
countenanced ou his staff, unfortunately, for hi3
own merit, in whipping J-ickson, which he did, although Shields, who was within seven miles of him
refused to cooperate, ie to have another new command, in defiance of the entreaties of the loyal
Border State men. Saxon, and others of the red-
hot abolition school of generals are also retained
in command, while McClellan and Halleck, Hooker
Heintzleman, and other Conservative generals who
wish to keep the war within the rules prescribed
for legitimate warfare, aud to keep their constitutional obligations, are set upon by tbe lepers of
abolitionism, and unmercifully denounced, even aa
traitors, because they refuse to degenerate into negro stealers, aud carry out the policy of the Presidential advisers,whom Mr. Lincoln keeps constantly around him. This unnatural, causeless rebellion
should be crushed by the nation's power, but we
must not override the Constitution to perpetuate a
despotism. The Union can never be restored, either,
if fighting should tail us, by political aud sectional
expei iinents.
When Richelieu was asked us to the manner of
conducting a war, he replied, "Use all moderate
conciliation first ; if ihat fails, then crush thine
enemy with all thy power." Tbe policy adopted
by the last Congress lias effectually converted ihou-
sands of Unionists South into rebel Soldiers, created feverish excitements in Kentucky and Missouri, and dangerous misgivings about Maryland.
