POPPIXIi CORN.
And there they sat a popping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Cutter ;
John Stiles as fat as any ox,
And Susan fat as butter.
Ami the:-- tliey sal; nnd sh-lled the corn,
And raked and stirred tbe lire,
And talked of different kinds oi ears,
And hitched their chairs up uigher.
Then Susan she the popper shook,
Then John he shook the popper,
Till both their faces grew as red
As saucepans made of copper.
And then thev shelled and popped and ate,
All klnde ol ran a-poklng,
And he haw It awed at ber remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped, and still they ate,
(John's mouih was like a hopper,)
And st'rred the Lil- -. am] snn:i!'led salt,
Ami a look and Bbook the popper.
The Block ptniob nine, tbe clock struck ten,
And still the corn kept popping ;
It struck eleven, and then struck twelve,
And still no algae ol s'opptng.
And John he ate. nnd Sue she thought—
ThH corn did pup and patt r,
THI John cried oat, " the corn's afire!
Why Sns.ui. v.h.if's the matter';''
Says she,-'John Stiles it'e one o'clock,
You'll die ol indigestion ;
I'm sick of all this popping corn.
Why don't yon pop the qaeaUoa?"
There are BOmealX Or seven thousand rebel troops,
under Gen. lluger, between Big Point and Norfolk. Three companies in Portsmouth rebelled a
few dayssince, and it is also reported Mugrudefs
forces had mutinied at Williamsburg.
The rebel--at Torktowo opened this morning
with their titled co'umblads anil CS-pnnml'Ts, placed on the heights ol Yorktowu. Our No. 1 battery of Parrot t guns was then brought to bear upon the only gun which has given us any trouble.
Our .-hots were Jailing aroui:d it when, on its twenty third discharge, it (the enemy's gun)bnist tear
i;i;.; up the parapet.- nnd making sad   havoc   with
tho crowd who were collected around at the time,
No loss H'.an ten persona were standing on the para
pet, within six feet of it, besides those who were
hid from view by the works. The loss of life must
have been considerable. This is 'lie only gun
which the rebels have shown capable of doing our
No. f battery any barm. All the firing on tbeir
tide ceased, aud ours continued wiih tenewed vigor,
About one hundred shots were fired from our guns
up to 2 o'clock, when the Bring ceased. Tlie rebel steamer came down and attempted to make t
landing, hut was driven ou by our 100-pou auors,
The rebels kept up a ciuitinuous Ike all last nigh1
on our men in the trenches. Our only casual tit
were two wounded.
A special dispatch to the Tribune, giving nn a
count of the capture of Fort .Macon, aoys that li \
of our batteries dismounted 13 guns, and of 1,100
shot and shell thrown by them at the Fort, 460
struck the works. The guns of tho Fort were
worked with skill and courage, but the sand hills,
our position, afforded complete protection to our men
The schooner Levi Rowe, from Nassau, 19th
April, arrived to day. All business there was at a

(Signed) McClBLLAN
From army correspondents we have tho follow.
ing : We entered the enemy's works at Qve o'clock
this morning, which they had deserted four hours
before. Everything was found iu utter confusion
About M pieces artillery were left spiked. A large
amount of medical stores, ammunition, oamp equi
page, tents aud private property of officers were
left. Several deserters came into our lines, and
one states tbat the rebels evacuated owing to the
near approach cf our parallels, and that they (flared
the success of our gunboats in the York aud James
rivers. Gen. Johnston gave orders to evacuate on
Thursday, and Ma.gn.ider is said to have strenuously opposed the evacuation, saying, if they
could not whip the Federals here, they could not
anywhere in Virginia.
Deserters all agree that their troops were much
demoralized and disheartened, when tho order to
evacuate was given, as all anticipated a fight.
The Rebels had a hundred thousand men ou the
Peninsula, also four hundred pieces of artillery.
It is believed they have fallen back behind Williamsburg, where they arc expected to make a
stand. Gen. Sloneman. commanding a large force
of cavalry and artillery, is in pursuit of the eaemy
and will probably come up with the rear before
night if they remain near Williamsburg. The
gunboats bave Yorktown, and aro now shelling
the shores. Following them are a number of vessels loaded with troops to effect a landing.
Official report just received says the enemy have
left seventy one guns in tbe works. The Gloucester Point ordnance stores was also left.

VtOH and Folia-.—Says Thackeray in hia   Four
Lord Carlisle was one of the English fine gentle
men who was woll-nigii ruined by the awful debauchery and extravagance which prevailed iu the
it English society of those days. Its diseo-
uteness was awful: it bad swarmed over Europe
Iter the Pence; it'had danced and raced, and
ambled io all the Courts. It bad made its bow-
t Versailles ; it had ruu its horses on the plain of
Sublous, near Paris, and created the Anglo-mani.
there ; il had exported vast quantities of pictures
and marble from Romeaod Florence : it had ru-
ued itself by building greit galleries and palaces
.ir l.iie recepdou of statues ami pictures ; it had
irought over singing women and dancing women
rom all the operas of Europe, on whom tny lords
rvlshed tbeir thousands, whilst they left their honest wives and children languishing in the lonely,
deserted splendors of the castle and park at home.
Besides the great London society of thoso days
there was another unacknowledged world, extrav
it beyond measure, (earing .wildly about ir
the pursuit of pleasure— danolog, gambling, drink-
singing—meeting fhe real society in the public places, (at the ftuiolaghs, Vauxballa and Itidot-
los, about which our old novelists talk so constant-
y.) outvying the real leaders of fashion in luxury,
piendor and beamy. For instance, when the l'im-
un Miss Gauniug visited Paris as Lady Coventry,
where she expected that her beauty would meet
with applause which had followed her and her sister through England, it appears she was put to
light by an Euglieh lady stiJl more lovely in the
yes of tlie Parisian.'. A certain Mrs, Pitt took a
>ox at the opera, opposite tha countess, and was
10 mach handsnirw than ber Udysaip, that tha
parterre cried out that this was the real English
gel, whereupon Lady Coventry quitted Paris
a huff. The poor tiling died presently of consumption, accelerated it was 'said by the red and
white paint with which she plastered those luck-
s charms of hers. (We mu't represent to our-
ves all fashionable fe nile Europe, at that time,
plastered with white and ruddled with red.)
She left twojdaugbters behind her, whom George
Selwyn loved (he was curiously foud of little children) and who are describe,; very drolly and pathetically in these letters, in their little nursery,
where passionate little Lady Fanny, if she had not
good cards, flung her.* into Lidy Mary's face, aud
where they sat conspiring bow'they should receive
motlier-iti-law whom their papa presently brought
line. They got on very well with their mother-
in-law. who was very kind to them, and they grew
up. and they were married and they were both divorced afterwards—poor little souls ■ Poor painted mother, poor society, ghastly In ita pleasures-
its loves, its revelries.

ii Times.]
All the intelligence-end all the opinions ffbto
America bring out in strong relief the existence of
very great power and very great spirit on both
sides of the conflict. After the Federal reverses of
last year we heard of nothing but the unshaken
resolution aud uuwearied energy of the North,
which only wautef a little more training and discipline to do all it desired. The recent Confederate reverses have the same effect in sending us renewed assurances of the Runthern determination
to continue resistance through all its possible phases, down to tbo guerrilla warfare of Spain and
Mexico, even though, as iu the latter case, there
should ensue au interminable anarchy. At this
distance it is useless to discuss the expected operations, which before this will have been commenced with more or less efFuclt. It is probably
decided by this time whether General McClellan
could turn the left of the Confederate forces, and,
by reinforcing Generals Banks aud Stone, get to
the rear of the enemy and obtain possession of
Richmond, A third victory in Tennessee will
have secured the western half of that State to the
Federal side, or a defeat will have rendered fruitless all the blood shed at Forts Henry and Dounel-
son. The superiority of the North in numbers,
u wealth, and in the means of locomotion makes
it probable that ihey have followed up their victory, and established themselves as thoroughly on
the west of ihe chief st ceded States, as they have,
by means ol their fleets, ou the east aud south. But,
on the most favorable supposition for the Federal
cause, we have only arrived at the questions
whether we do iudeed see the beginning of the
md, nnd what that end is likely lo be. We see no
anticipation of prophetic vision of thafend iu any
f the communications from either side of the war.
The Federals talk only of present victory, and
seem to look no further into the future. The Con
federate advocates talk of devastation and depopulation, of burning cities,destroying food, tearing
up rails, and reducing the country to a slate of ua-
ture, of guerrilla warfare and mutual extermination. This is not looking to an end, but rather
dwelling upon the horrid process of war, as ir the
spirit that bad been roused found satisfaction more
in tbe means thau in the end. These fearful auti-
cipatious are probably only too true. Tho tone
on both sides is that of bitter and enduring deli-
ance. North aud South rail at one another much
aa the Homeric combatants did belore the fatal Interchange of spears. But there is this unhappy
difference—the poet manages to dispose of one
combatant, and so gives instant and entire effect to
the menaces ou at least one side of the duel. In
this case the abuse, tbe threats, the defiances, the
determination, threaten to be endless, aud from
both sides we gather the lamentable truth that, as
far as eye can scan the American horizon, there is
nothing bnt war.
Bat when both sides see no conclusion of war
except tbe exchange of one form of war for another,
and a transition from order to disorder, from
method to madness, it remains for the bystander."
to speculate on the natural developments of the
struggle. To Bhow that we are not exaggerating
its chaotic tendencies we heed only refer to the
very able letter of a correspondent, who undertakes
to interpret the Southern prospects and sympathies. The amicable separation which some good
people talk of he asserts to be neither possible m
less than all the border States, leaving to tbe
Confederates only the seven or eight original
seceders. But were this, their object, they wouKl
still have to garrUon Virginia with an army out
of all proportion to their resources, and, even so.
they would feel tbe Union at an end. They would
find it impossible to get on without the trade ol
the South ; aud slavery would thus be more recognized than ever, more odious, and more fertile
in quarrels. Separation then, be holds to ho noi--
ther possible nor wished for, so long, at least, as
fhe -V'lth has any light left in it. But, Whatever
may be said of the difficulty of conquering tbe
Southern States,'there can be no ilmihl o: tho power
of the North to keep up the war in one fashion or
another. What then are the alternatives to which
toe are to look, when con:/"; ti ia imp&Ssil /-, to ';,■ n
separation is impossible, when union, in the foi
we have seen it, is impossible, loAflR successes on
either side is impossible, when peace is impossible,
when war itself, as it in now carried on,iaim
possiSIe, -when every tiling is impoeatbU
something that does not come under any (I' tb >■■
beads, and tbut is beyond all present ruekoniug or
reasonable expectations!
What is this but to avow that the Federation
itself is impossible ? The principle baa beeu tried
aud found wanting. The Southern States will
not submit to the worst of bondages—a tyrant
majority. Tbe Northern States can neither conquer nor conciliate,, nor win by U1V DettkO& So
the appeal is to war, and the war, it is admitted
ou both sides, must work itself out to its legitimate results. The question is no longer whether
the North will conquer the South, but what the
war will lead to, and what state of things will supervene upou the present. Tlie most far-seeing
discover nothing in the prospect hut guerrilla warfare, anarchy, and devastation. This is simply to
admit that the statesmen having failed, the cause
is now in the hands of the soldier. But it ta BoMi
it is iu tbe band ol the soldier who sees the datk
end of federation instead of its bright beginning.
This is not the age iu which a French monarch;
is breaking up, or a republic is inaugurated, but
in which a French empire has been restored and
re established. It is an age iu which strong monarchy is the fashionable cure for democratic disorder. Europe has just congratulated Italy on the
acquisition of a monarchy, instead of the federation whieh philosophers wauled for her, instead
of the independent States wbich lately existed, instead ol the theocracy which Homo professes to give instead of Uazzioi'B republic. The
Western States ol Europe have at least the credit
of offering Mexico a constitutional monarchy instead of a republican constitution, which has had
no existence except in alternate anarchy and des
potism. This is au age of reaction, for which democracy has to thank itself. Tlie Dictator, the
Emperor or the Kng is everywhere superceding the fasces of the consul or the paper scheme
of tho lawgiver. When we are told that everything else is impossible in America, nnd that politics are absorbed iu the chances of war aud the
gcnUts of the commanders, then, indeed, we see
the beginning of the end. But that is not tbe one
desired by either North or South, nor even by us
who look on. It cannot be for our interest that a
military adventurer should jiofisess the faim-t regions of North America, even though that were
better than anarchy. But it is the haven towards
which the great Atnerican commonwealth seems
now drifting—it is possible. That is enough,
when everything else is confessed to be impossible'

Tlie  Englt-ili Idea of a Pence.
It is very remarkable to observe the expectations whieh have been raised, not only In America
but in this country also, of the approaching end of
the great civil war. Ou this point our private
advices confirm the representations Of the New
York press, nnd the same impression has been acknowledged in our own Parliament by one of its
most experienced leaders. Lord Russell, ou Monday evening, gave the war just ninety days to run,
being exactly the estimate of Mr. W. Seward, ami,
although the end anticipated by his lordship ffaa
not that contemplated by the Federal Minister,(he
two statesmen appear, at any rate, agreed in Iheir
measurements of the struggle. Yet there is certainly nothing on the face of eveuts to sustain
this conclusion. Tbe success at Fort Dounelsou
was a great success, no doubt. All those prisoners, all those guns, and all those trophies of war
would bave constituted a genuine victory iu any
campaign, and the prospect opened to the conquerors was, perhaps, more important still. But
the actual result cannot be presumed, except by
some incredible consequences, to affect the fortunes
of the war,
Even if Tennessee were recovered for the Union

ing.   *    *    The only question is whether ihey will
be so resolved, or whether the North can now intimidate  tlu-ra into  submission, or persuade (hem
into acceptable terms of separation.    The Pedei
als, beyond doubt, are gaining ground—not sufli
ciently to make a forcible reconstruction of  the
Union probable, but quite sufficiently to give thee
an advantage in negotiating for an amicable par
tition.    This  was evidently the  particular end of
the war which Lord Russell had  In view, and this
expectation it would be Vtjry natural to  entertain
if we  could suppose tbat either or both of the bet
ligerents mean somewhat less than they -^ity.

Nevertheless, though reason would forbid us to
expect either (he vo'un'iiry :-n!.;ni..i, i i.r violi.al
subjugation of the Soul!,', yet the H let ilnatl6n of
the war" by the- method ol compromise may possibly beat hand, and the reoenl sues of tbe
Federals may facilitate this codcIubIoD, not only
by reestablishing the military reputation of the
North, but by limiting to more ace ni ible pr ip if-

than prolong, at a prodigious cost, a war which,
on the best of suppositions, could only end iu tho
ruinous occupafion of a hostile territory.
