Elegy IX: Upon the Death of Tibullus. By Stepney. If Memnon's fate bewail'd with constant dew, Does, with the day, his mother's grief renew, If her son's death mov'd tender Thetis' mind To swell with tears the waves, with sighs the wind; Sad Cupid now despairs of conqu'ring hearts, Throws by his empty quiver, breaks his darts: Eases his useless bows from idle strings; Nor flies, but humbly creeps with flagging wings. He wants, of which he robb'd fond lovers, rest; And wounds with furious hands his pensive breast. Those graceful curls which wantonly did flow, The whiter rivals of the falling snow, Forget their beauty, and in discord lie, Drunk with the fountain from his melting eye. Nor Phoebus, nor the muses' queen, could give Their son, their own prerogative, to live. Orpheus, the heir of both his parents' skill, Tam'd wond'ring beasts, not death's more cruel will. Linus' sad strings on the dumb lute do lie. In silence forc'd to let their master die. His mother weeping does his e

ts was to take ex-Governor Thomas prisoner.--(Doc. 5.) The True American, the Democratic organ of New Jersey, published at Trenton, suspended this morning, giving as a reason for the act that the National authorities had virtually interdicted the publication of every paper that did not support the Government and Administration.--N. Y. Times, August 25. Two attempts were made in Connecticut to raise peace flags--one of which failed, while the other was successful. The first was at Stepney, ten miles north of Bridgeport. According to previous announcement a meeting was to have been organized after the raising of the flag. No sooner was the flag hoisted, however, than the Union men made a rush for it, pulled it down, and tore it into shreds. A Union meeting was then organized, which passed a series of Union resolutions. Soon after the Farmer newspaper office, published in Bridgeport, was demolished, notwithstanding the efforts of prominent citizens to prevent it. The othe

Farmer had been cleaned out by a mob, that a peace flag had been taken down in Stepney, and that two or three men had been killed at New Fairfield. In consequence oarly as he could learn, the following is a brief outline of the proceedings at Stepney and Bridgeport: Notice had been given in Bridgeport that a peace flag was to be raised at Stepney, ten miles north of that place, on Saturday, afternoon, when a peace meeting would be addressed by Schnable of Pennsylvania, a well-known stumprocured five or six large omnibuses, besides other vehicles, and proceeded to Stepney, where they found a pole with a large white rag floating at its top, and a pland continued cheering. [We learn of only two persons at all seriously hurt at Stepney; we were unable to obtain their names. Both were of the tory party, and both w-Fairfield.

ffusion of the doctrines everywhere spoken against, but of checking the growth of priestly domination and of spiritual pride, lording it over the consciences of men, which are so inconsistent with the true spirit of the gospel of peace. Mr. Peirce was the son of respectable parents in good circumstances, and was born in London, in the year 1673. Having the misfortune to lose his parents early in life, he was placed under the care of Mr. Matthew Mead, an eminent Nonconformist minister at Stepney, and father of the celebrated Dr. Mead. After a suitable course of preparatory instruction, partly in the house of his guardian and partly at various grammar schools, he was sent, according to a practice not uncommon among the English dissenters of that period, to pursue his theological studies in Holland, first at the University of Utrecht, and afterwards at the sister seminary of Leyden. At both these celebrated seats of learning the principal chairs were at that time occupied by a cons

If the "officers" won't let you send letters just drop us a line telling us so, then we will know the wherefore. The "Civil war" in Connecticut. A correspondent of the New York Times (Abolition) gives the following account of a recent scrimmage at New Fairfield, Connecticut; On Saturday afternoon, an even more fearful riot than those at Stepney and Bridgeport was under way. It seems that a number of tories at New Fairfield had a white flag up, which certain Union men in Danbury determined to take down. Some thirty or forty of them, therefore, repaired to the location of the obnoxious rag, taking an American flag with them to put in its place. They surrounded the pole for this purpose, when they were attacked by a party of tories, some two hundred strong, and a general fight ensued, the weapons being spades, axes and clubs. Bein
