Then they took the oil cans out of tiie locker, and poured oil on the floor, and then,-eight o’clock in the morning, they set the vessel on fire. YY’e were then transferred to the steamer andput in irons, and almost starved. The pirate then con tinued to cruise under sail, hut with steam up, until she captured all the above ves sels. The crews were all put iu irons as soon as captmed.

At the time, when diptheria is making such terribie ravages in some parts of'the country, the following, in regard to its nature and treatment, from a distinguished physician of Texas, who has had great success with the disease, may be observed with interest and profit : Diptheria may 7 justly he divided into two grades, which are the same in fact, only- differing in degree. In the first grade there is but little fever or inflammation. The fever is not of long duration and the inflammation is usually looked on as a slight soreness of the threat, and is not unfrequently passed by for days as being unimportant. There is but little inflammation or swelling of the submaxil lary glands; and aside from the fact that the child refuses food, and looks sick and dejected, it might almost sink into the arms of death without exciting feelings of alarm in the friends. On opening the mouth and depressing the tongue with a spoon handle, white spots of false mem brane will be found in the throat. This membrane is very adherent, and'hard to remove, and is disposed to extend more or less rapidly, more especially down the air passages; and at night is almost sure to cause obstruction in respiration to such an extent as to induce mothers to suppose sufferers are labouring under croup, Dur ing the day, as a rule, respiration is easier. The second grade of this disease, as remarked above, differs from the first only in degree. Hence, being the same in essence, the degree is only- alluded to, as a grade, from the fact that during the ordi nary- stage a line of treatment is clearly ! indicated which is wholly inadmissible in | the first- In the first grade I would advise, if ; there is not much obstruction to respira tion or deglutition, that the parts covered with false membrane, and all the parts which seem to be at all inflamed, should be freely sponged with the strong tincture of iodine—the compound tincture. If the bowels are not free, some simple purgative should be given, such as rhubarb or the compound extract of colocynth, or both combined ; and the sick should at once be placed on the use of the nitro-muriatic acid. A child one year old may take half a drop in four tablespoonslull of water, sweetened, every hour or two. The tincture of iodine should be used freely 7 every three or four hours until the mem braneous exudation is not only loosened j hut detached. Then, and not until then, : should any other local means be resorted : to. After the membrane lias been remo ved, a saturated solution of tannin, or a very strong decoction of oak bark, may 7 be used * cquently 7 , the tincture of iodine being used only 7 occasionally. Blisters or any strong liniments to the throat do more harm than good. The neck should be Where the obstruction to r°spiration is such as to cause the child to have an anxious, suffering expression, I would ad vise a prompt emetic—one that will not run off the bowels, and thereby unneces sarily debilitate the patient ; and for ths purpose I know of nothing better than the j sulphate of copper cr blue stone. One i fourth of a grain may- be given in two table-spoons-full of warm water every quarter of an hour until the patient is vomited freely. So soon as the urgent symptoms have been controlled, I would advise that the plan- of treatment advised for the mild grade be resorted to. STONE WALL JACKSON A POET.

MY WIFE AND CHILD. The tattoo beats—tbe lights are gone, The camp arotmd in slumber lies, The night with solemn pace moves on, The shadows thicken o’er the skies: But sleep my weary eyes hath flown. And sad, uneasy thoughts arise. I think of thee, oh, dearest one, Whose love my early life hath biest— Of thee and him—our baby son— Who slumbers ou thy gentle breast. God of the tender, frail and lone, Oh, guard the tender sleeper’s rest, And hover gently, hover near To her whose watchful eye is wet— To mother, wife—the double dear. In whose young heart have freshly met Two streams of love sc deep and clear And cheer her drooping spirits yet. Now. while she kneels before the Throne, Oh, teach her. ruler ot the skies, That, while by thy behest alone, Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise, No fear is wept to thee unknown, No hair is lost, no sparrow dies ! That Thou can’st stay the ruthless hands. Of dark disease, and sooths its pain; Thet only by Thy stern commands The battle's lost, the soldier’s slain— That from the distant sea or land Thou bring’st the wanderer home again. And when upon her pillow lone Her tear-wet cheek is sadly prest, May happier visions beam upon The brightening current of her bteast No frowning look or angry tone, Disturb the Sabbath of her rest. Whatever fate those forms may show, Loved with a passion almost wild— By day—by night—in joy or woe— By fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled, From every danger, every fee, Oh, God ! protect my wife and child Vc ry pretty poetry, but Stoaewall Jackson did not write it. It was written by Col. Henry R. Jackson, of Savannah, while an officer in Mexico. [Eds Confederate L t niom. Ttco Wisconsin Lieutenants in Trouble. —T. C. Hindmau, the Rebel commander in Arkansas has written a letter to Gener al Curtis, warning him not to shoot or hang one Lieut. Folleson, as a guerilla, and notifying him as follows: “I have ordered Lieut. Hobbs, of the 1st YYisconsin cavalry, U. S. A., whom I have in custody as a prisoner of war, to be placed in close confinement, and in the event of violence being done to Lieut. Folleson, I shall hang Lieut. Hobbs by way of retaliation. I desire, also, Gener al, to call attention to the recent murder of Samuel Berry, a citizen of Crittenden county, Arkansas, by men of tbe Federal army or navy, at Council bend, Arkansas. The circumstances are reported to me as follows: Berry had been charged with burning bis own cotton and sugar, to pre vent its falling into the hands of the Fed eral troops. For that offence he was ta ken aboard one of your boats, tried and acquitted. As he was leaving tbe boat lie was told to run, which, in his fright he did,as he ran, the brutes upon the boat fired upon him and killed him. 1 demand . that the murderer be surrendered tp me for punishment. To enforce this demand, I have ordered a 2d Lieutenant from Wis consin, J. T. Consul, a prisoner of war in my hands, into close confinement. If von tailor refuse to deliver up the murderer of Berry. 2d Lieutenant Consul will be hang ed.” Lieutenants Hobbs and Consul both be longed to company B, Capt. Eggleston, Daniel’s cavalry.

The second grade, as remarked above, differs from the first only in point of inten sity The inflammation of the throat is great, and the exudation of false mem brane is, as a rule, proportionally great, hence, means must be at once adopted, not only to modify, with tincture ot iodine, with a mop, the parts invaded with false membrane, but the inflammation must be brought under control. With this view, I would advise the use of calomel. Small doses, often repeated, act better than large doses. A child one year old may take one-fourth of a grain every hour until the inflammation has, in a good degree, been brought under control. The Nobthern elections.—Al though some who have heretofore been despondent borrowed a great deal of hope from the Northern elections, yet, fairly interpreted, we think they indi cate nothing more than general discon tent, and hold out the hope of nothing more than increased discoid. Both are good in their places, and we are glad to see them; but they hold out no hope of speedy peace. The most hete rogeneous elements have conspired to give a victory to the anti-Lincolnites. First and foremost, no doubt, is the unpopularity of failure. When we see bow disaster in the South loosened the tongue of complaint against the Administration, we can well under stand liow the late campaign in Virgin ia, told against Lincoln, w 7 ho, up to four months ago, was vastly popular. Then there were a thousand other ele ments of general and particular dissatisfaction—among them the tyran ny of the Administration and the Emancipation policy. The old line Democrats who are patriotic, but whose patriotism is summed up in the triumph, of the stars and stripes—the late Whigs, who are men of trade and figures, ail borrowing their value from a national unit, made all the bulk of the opposition, and are as little likely as any body we know of, to consent to dismemberment. The floaters were the disgruntled—disappointed-South- ern sympathisers—peace men—reli gious noncombatants, &c., dec., who voted with the Democracy simply be cause they could not be worsted" by a change. Taken as a whole, it may be more of a peace party than the Repub licans, but is not a peace party. But it is at least cr party born into vigorous life—feeling that they are destined to triumph; and the sharpest possible is sues with the Republicans exist in the Lincoln proclamation for the emanci pation of the blacks and the enslave ment of the whites. Upon these they may and will fight, and naturally drive each other to greater antagon ism of measures and of feeling.—-The elections are important to us only as to their general tendencies, and hold out no hope of speedy results.
