Our God. our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come.
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received hei frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone ;
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising dawni
Time like an ever rolling stream
Bears all its sons away ;
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
Our God, olir help ih ages past,
Cur hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.

MUSIC BY THE CHOftt.
How still and peaceful is the grave,
There, life’s vain tumults past,
The appointed house, by heaven’s decree,
Receives us all at last.
The v icked there from troubling cease,
Their passions rage no more :
And there the weary pilgrim rests
From all the toils he bore.
All levelled by the hand of death,
Lie sleep’ng in the tomb,
Till God in judgment call them forth,
To meet their final doom.
BENEDICTION.
From the Charleston Mercury,
The Laws of War.
The near prospect of hostilities between the
Abolition Government and the Government of
the Confederate States, renders some inquiry!
into the law of nations, on this subject, ap
propriate and interesting. What are the legal
consequences, and what the practical bearing,
of a state of war upon the individual rights of
citizens of the two Confederacies having deal
ings with each other, are questions which
should be clearly understood. As a contribu
tion from a standaid authority to the general
stock of knowledge on the subject, we quote,
somewhat at length, some extracts from Kent’s
Com mentaries.
We quote, first, from Lecture 3d, on the Law
of Nations, vol. 1 :
INTERDICTION OF COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE.
“One of the immediate and important con
sequences of the declaration of war, is the ab
solute interruption and interdiction of all corn*
mercial intercourse, ami dealing be'ween the
subjects of the two countries. The idea that
any commercial intercourse or pacific dealing
can lawfullv subsist between the people of the
jiowers at war, except under the clear and ex
press sanction of the Government, and without
a special license, is utteily inconsistent with the
new class of duties growing out of a state of
war. The interdiction flows, neces-arily, from
the principle aheady stated, that a state ot war
puts all the members of the two re
spec’ivcly, in hostility to each other; and to
suffer individuals to carry on friendiy or com
mercial intercourse, while the two governments
were at war, would be iflacing the act of gov
ernment and the acts of individuals in contra
diction to each other. It would counteract the
operations of war, and throw obstacles in the
way of the public effort, and lead to disorder,
imbecility and treason. Trading supposes the
existence of civil contracts and relations, and
a refere co to courts of justice ; and it is, there j
fore, necessarily contradictory to a state of war.
It affords aid to the enemy in an effectual man- 1
ncr, by enabling the merchants of the enemy’s i
country to support their G -vernment, ad it
facilitates the means of conveying intelligence '
and carrying on a traitorous correspondence
with the enemy. These considerations apply
with peculiar force to maritime States, where,
the principal object is to destroy the marine ’
and commorce of the ecemv, in order to force
them to peace. It is a well settled doctrine in
the English courts, and with the English ju
rists, that there cannot exist, at the same time,
a war for arms and a peace for commerce.—
The war puts an end at once to all dealing and
all communication with each other, and places
every individual of the lespective governments,
as well as the governments thbrnselves, in a
state of hostility. This is equally the doctrine
of all the authoritative writers on the law of
nations, and of the maritime ordinances of all
the great powers of Europe. It is equally the
received law of this country, and was so deci
ded frequently by the Congress of the United
States during the Revolutionary war,and again
by the Supreme Court of the United States,
during the course of the last war; and it is
difficult to conceive of a point of doctrinemore
deeply or extensively rooted in the general
maiitime law of Europe, and of the universal
and immemorial usage of the whole communi
ty of the civilized world.
“ It follows, as a necessary consequence of
the doctrine of the illegality of all intercourse
or traffic, without express permission, that all
contracts with the enemy, made dining war,
are utterly void. The insurance of enemy’s
property is an illegal contract, because it is a
species of trade and intercourse with the ene
my. The drawing of a bill of exchange, by
an alien enemy, un a subject of the adverse
| country, is an iliegal .and void contract, be
cause it is a communication and contract. The
purchase of bills on the enemy’s country, or
the remission and deposit of funds there, is a
dangerous and illegal act, because it may bo
cherishing the resources and relieving the wants
of the enemy. , , ,
The remission of funds, in money or bills,
to subjects of the enemy, is unlawful. The
inhibition reaches to every communication,
direct or circuitous. AH endeavors to trade
ivith the enemy, by the intervention of third
partnerships, have equally failed, and no arti
fice has succeeded to legalize the trade, with
out the express permission us the Government.
Every relaxation of the rule tends to corrupt
the allegiance of the subject, and prevents the
war from fulfilling it? end. The exception to
this strict and rigorous rule of international
jurisprudence, is the case of ransom bills, and
they are contracts of neoessity, founded on a
state of war, and engendered by its violence.
It is also a further consequence of the inabil
ity of the subjects of the two States to commune
or cany on any cpriespondence or business
together, that all commercial partnerships ex
isting between the subjects of the two parties
prior to the war are dissolved by the mere
force and act of the war itself; though other
contracts existing prior to the war are not ex
tinguished, but the remedy is only suspended,
and this from the inability of an alien enemy
to sue, or to sustain, in the language of the
civilians, a persona standi in judicio. 'The
whole of this doctrine respecting the illegality
of any commercial intercourse between the in
habitants of two nations at war was entensive
ly reviewed, and the principal authorities, an
cient and modern, foreign and domestic, were
accurately examined, and the positions which
have been laid down established in the case of
Griswold us. Waddington, decided in the Su
[•reine Court of this State, and afterwa.ds affir
med on error.”
The Event of the Struggle-
I'lie Revolutionary spirit which is abroad in
the land will soon make the slaveholding States
a phalanx which neither the tricks of domes
tic traitors, nor the force of Abolition enemies
can destroy. This is just as certain as that day
succeeds nfght, ar.d then will Nemesis show
that she has delayed, but not forgotten to punish
the Subrnissionists.
We shall then have a united, homogeneous
Confederacy of fourteen millions fighting for
their firesides, their wives, their children, and
their sacred honor, against abated foe. When
the shock of conflict comes, the terrors and fears
which the Subrnissionists have conjured up
with so much artistic skill to Lighten us from
the path of honor, will disappear like shadows
before the sun.
The pages of history are filled with the suc
cesses of small and homogeneous nations in their
conflicts with nations vastly their superiors in
numbers. They have nearly always conquered.
The twenty nations who formed the vast
army of Xerxes were defeated by a few slave
holding confederated States at. Marathon, at
Salamis and Thermypoke. Frederick, of Prus
sia fought all Europe for seven years, and emer
ged from the smoke and din of that long con
test a conqueror. Charls the Twelfth, of Swe
den move-1 his little cock boat of a nation
alongside of that seve -ty-fonr gun ship Russia,
and flogged her in many a well fought victory.
Texas with a handful of brave men, routed Mex
ico. The Thirteen Colonies,without arms or mu
nitions of war with every fourth man a traitor
when the war commenced, achieved their inde
pendence after an eight years war.— Richmond
