^^^^ MODERN 5L.ANO.
BY TEWDER I. DFPK.
I sat with Lucy Jane within a bower ;
We talked of love, and happy days to come,
And as the time approached (he midnight hour,
She told me that she " wanted to go home."
" Oh I tear not thy dear form away '." I cried:
" Stay, dearest. Stay !— a little longer sit;
Thou knoweal not the pangs of love," I sighed ;
Disdainfullj sbe answered me, " you git I"
''Let not such words profane those ruby lips.
Nor Lucy, do not play the proud coquette !"
She jumps up from her seat—away she skips,
Saying to me " I'm up to snuff, you bet I"
" Nay, ling-T, Lucy, till the moon doth rise!"
Crietl I, still sealed on tbe mossy log ;
" Nor use such horrid language 1"—she replies:
"Pray may 1 ask you, Johnny, how's your dog?'
"Oh? cruel girl, why wilt thou vex me so.
Aud flee, as if thou feur'd'at my very touch ?
Wilt Ihoti no longer have me for thy beau,
Say proud   oue,  say?"—her  autwer  was  "not
much."
'I Thou'rt not iu earnest, surely, Lucy Jane?
Discard me?—no, I'm sure you never cau I"
*'I've always loved you, and will again,
Sometime," (she said) ■' or any other man."
Ijoined her then—we homeward to-k our way ;
I chid, and she asked me '■ did I doubt
Her love?    " No, no—said I—jusl name the day
■ When we'll be one!"—she aus.vered: -That's
played out!"

Courier says:
Writers in the Whig are persistently urgin
William C. Rives upon the President for tbe Secretaryship of State. The President ought to be
permitted to choose a Cabinet from men ol cou-

talented man—eveu a great man, as his admirers
claim—but he has generaly been as wide from
Davis, iu political opinions, as the poles, lie never
was a believer iu Southern Independence, aud
only lhe force of public sentiment in Virginia has
brought him into the fold of the faithful. If Virginia had submitted, who doubts that Rives would
have refused a seat in Lincoln _ Cabinet?

The ornamental confectionery was beautifully
syinbolical ofthe times. At the end of the table
there was a large lump of white candy, witb six
carpet tacks lying upon it. This represented tbe
lax upon sugar." At tbe other end was a large
platter containing imitation mud, in which two
candy brigadiers' were swimming towards each
other, with their swords between their teeth. This
symbolized " War."
These being very hard times my boy, and the
Executive not being inclined io be too expensive
in-his marketing, a most ingenious expedient was
adopted to nittkc it appear tbat there was just twice
as much of certain costly delicacies on the table as
there really was. About the centre of the table
lay a large mirror, and on this there were placed a
few expensive dishes. Of course, the looking glass
gave them a double effect. For instance, if there
was a pound of beefsteak ou tbe plate, it produced
auotherpound in the glass, and the effect was two
poundB.
When economy can be thus artistically blended
with plentitude, my boy, money ceases to be king,
and butcher bills dwindle. Hereafter, when I re
ceive my rations a pint ot transparent coffee and
two granite buiscuit, I shall use a looking  glass for

ply used, when disposing of a curious article, to place
lis hand upon a piece ofthe real tree, which was
,(fixed to his bench, and say : " I solemnly sweat-
that I hold in my hand a portion of the tree which
Shakspeare himself p'anted.'. This trick succeeded
admirably, and old Sharp died very rich ; but on
his death-bed he coufessed that he had deceived
thousands.

licking a stray drop of brandy (rom one ofbi_

paign, you mustn't do it 'aloud.' Thunder! says
the General, in a fine glow of enthusiasm, "the only
plan of tho campaign tbat I kuow anything about
is the rataplan."
Satified with the General's explanation, I pre-1
gently beamed upon bim iu such a resplendent
conglomeration of ruffles, brass buttons, epaulets
and Hungarian pomade, that be said I reminded
him of a comet just como out of a feather bed, with
its tail done up in papers.
" My Magnus Apollo," says he, "the way you
bear that white cravat shows you to be of rich but
genteel parentage. Any man," says he, "who car
wear a white cravat without looking like a coach
man, may pass for a gentleman born. Two-thirds
of tho elergimen who wear it look like lootmen in
their grave  clothes."
We then took a hack to the White House, my
boy and on arriving there were delighted to find
that tho rooms were already tilled with statesmen,
mis-statesmen and officers, who had so much lace
and epaulettes about tbem tbat tbey looked like
walking brass foundries with tbe front door open.
The first object that attracted my special at
tention however, was a thing that I took for a largi
and ornamental pair of tongs leaning against a
mantel, figured in bluo enamel, with a lite-like
imitation of a window brush ou top. I directed tbe
General's attention to it, and asked him if that was
one of the unique gifts presented to the Government by the late Japanese embassy ? Thunder!'*
says tbe General, ''that's no tongs. It's the young
man which is Captain William  Brown, of Aceomac.

CirtcAOo. April !).—The following is theonly account yet received  ot   the  battle at Pittsburgh
Landing,   which   was brought  on to day.    300 of
2;.lh   Missouri,  under  Gen.  Prentiss, commenced
the engagement by attacking the   advance   guard
of the rebels, wbich   was  supposed to   be merely
the pickets of the enemy.   Tile rebels in fnrce immediately  advanced   on  Gen.   Prentiss'   brigade,
which was stationed on the left wing, pouring volley after volley ol musketry and riddling our camp
with grape, cannister and shell.    Our  forces soon
formed into line, icturiied the lire vigorously, and
by the time we were prepared to receive them tbey
had concentrated their heaviest (Ire on the left aud
centre of Sherman's  division, and drove our men
back from their camp.    Bringing  up fresh forces,
they again opened theoti our left wing, the   division being under command ol Gen. MeClertiand.—
This fire they returned with terrible effect and determined spirit by both   infantry and artillery, all
along the whole iine for over a distauce   of four
miles.    Genet al   Hurl hurt's   division was   thrown
forward  to  support the centre, when a   desperate
conflict ensued. The rebels being driven b.ckwiih
terrible   slaughter,   soon rallied   and  drove back
our men In turn Irom 9 o'clock on Sunday morning
»ntil   night,  with   uo  possibility of determining
■ ..hat the result would be.
The ivbels   exhibited   remarkable  generalship;
: at times engaging our I.-ft with apparently their
whole force, th*ey would  suddenly open a terribly
destructive fire on the centre and right.    Even our
heaviest and most destructive lire did not seem to
discourage til© enemy TlOr die-may their solid  columns.    Major  Taylor's  Chicago   artillery  mowed
them down in scores, and the breach would be filled
mmediately.    The most desperate fighting took
place during lhe afternoon. The rebels seemed im.
pressed with the idea if they did  not Rtieceed in
"hipping us then, their chances tor success would he
extremely doubtful.    At 5 o'clock tliey had forced
our left  wing back,  so as   to  occupy   fully   two-
thirds  of our camp, and were fighting their tvay
forward with a desperate  degree of confidence in
their efforts to drive us into Ihe river. At the same
time they heavily engaged our right.    Up to this
time the reinforcements which had been ordered
forward bad notarrived.
General Lew, Wallace's division, having taken
the wrong road from the camp's landing, did not.
come up until nightfall, aud, when it arrived, had
no means of crossing the river except the transports used lor the Quartermaster and OoOHOlfiaary
stores, which were too heavily laden to carry any
considerable number. We were therefore, contesting against fearful odds, otir forces not exceeding
ing 138.000, while that ofthe enemy was upwards of
6'0,000. Our condition became critical, and a
large number of meu were panic-struck, and others
worn out by hard fuliting. Gup. Grant aud staff
recklessly riding among the lines during the entire day, amid an unceasing storm of bullets, grape
and shell, were Inciting t!.c men to stand firm uutil reinforcements could cross the river.
In the evening, Col. Webster, Chief of the Staff,
got into position the heaviest pieces of artillery,
pointing on the enemy's right, while a large number of butteries were planted along tlie entire line.
from the river's bank, on tbe north-west, to the
extreme right, two miles and a half distant. About
au hour before dusk, a general cannonading was
opened on the enemy along our whole line, with J
the perpetual crack of musketry. For a short
time the rebels replied vigorously and effectively,
but their return shots became les. frequent and
less destructive, whilst ours grew stronger and
more terrible.
ToBgunboats Lexington and Tyler, which lay
at a short distance olf, kept raining shells ou the
rebel hordes. The last effort proved too much for
ihe enemy, and before dusk firing nearly ceased,
and till the combatants rested from the work of
blood and carnage. Our men rested on their arm.
the field in tbe position which tliey held a
nightfall until Gen. Wallace arrived with his division, and took a position on the right. Nelson'*:
division of General Buell's army having arrived,
was ordered to form on the left ; Crittenden's division, also of Buell's army, was ordered to his support.
On Monday morning the battle recommenced at
daybreak, simultaneously by Nelson's division on
the left and Wallace's division ou the right. Nelson's forces opened a most galling tire on tbe rebels
und advanced rapidly as they felt back. The fire
soon became general along the whole line, nnd began to tell with terrible effect on the enemy. Gens.
McClcrnard, Sherman and Hurlhurt's divisions, although terribly jaded from the previous day's
fighting, still maintained their honors won at Fort
Ponnelson, The resistance of the rebels at all
points, in point of gallantry, was worthy abetter
cause; not enough, however for the undaunted
courage of our troops, and the dreadful desolation
produced by our artillery, which swept them ofl
like chaff.
Knowing defeat now to be the death blow to
their hopes, the rebel Generals Etill urged them in i
force to certain destruction, hoping hy Sinking
our right to turn the tide of batik*. Their succe**.
once more cheering them as they begun to gain
ground there, but our left, under Nelson, was driving them, and by 11 o'clock bud succeeded in
flanking them and capturing their batteries. Tliey
rallied next on the left and forced tlieut-elves
forward in another desperate efl'.irt. Kein.nrce-
metits from Generals Wood and Tbomns coming in.
regiment by regiment were sent immediately to
General Bu.U, who bad again commenced to drive
the enemy in turn.
Abo it .1 o*_lock in the afternoon General Grant
rode to the left, nml Boding the rebels still n-nrer-
Ing, sent a portion of his body guurd to head off
each. Five regiments were then ordered in charge
across the Held, Geu. Grant himself leading with
brandished sword, aud waved them on, while cun-
noo bulls were lulling around Iiim like hail. The
men followed, with a shout, which was heard above
the roar of buttle, and ihe rebels II d in dismay, as
from a destroying avalanche, and never made another stand. At half-past .. o'cloek ihe whole rebel
■my followed in fu'l retreat to Corinth, with onr
, cavalry in hot pursuit, but with what result is not
yet known.
It Is Impossble to estimate what material has
been captured. It is known, however, that it Is a
large amount. Their whole artillery, wiih a number ol prisoners were taken. The rebels took some
prisoners during the engagement, est!muled at
several hundred, nmoug them i-i Gen. Prentiss, who
'. also reported wounded.
The killed on the rebel side include the Com-
lander-in-f-hief, A. Sydney Johnston, who wa;
struck by a cannon ball on Sunduy afternoon. —
There is no doubt this i-i true, as the lact is corroborated hy several ofthe rebel officers taken. It
is further reported that Beauregard bad an arm
shot off. The rebel Generals I. rcclunnilge, Bragg
and Johnsoln all hud commands.
Our loss iu officers is very heavy, but it is im
possible at present to stale the number. Among
them are Gen. Lew. Wallace, Col. Pegram, Col.
Ellis, acting Brigadiers, killed; Major Gudduek.
ofthe loth III. ; Lieut. "Col. ■Conrad, of the 72-1
Ohio ; Lieut. Col. Kyle, of the 41st Ind. ; Col. Da-
