“Keep thy heart icith all diligence .” —Prov. iv-63.
Trust not one unguarded thought,
Which idly wantons in the mind,
Shall vanish as it entered there,
And leave no trace behind.
Think not that remembered worm,
In anger or resentment said,
Because forgotten, shall not live,
By truth immortal made.
Nor hope a single reckless act.
Whose folly wayward youth beseems,
Shall yield to time’s oblivious power,
With youth’s departed dreams.
A page, by Angel pen inscribed,
R-cords, that ne'er can be effaced ;
Aud all you think, or say, or do,
Is there forever traced.
Then o’er the heart, its hidden source,
Thy vigils keep with ceaseless care ;
Let every purpose be thy best —
Offence thy only fear.
And, oli! what higher, holier hope,
Was e'er to man in mercy given,
Than Angel pen, in lines of light,
Sh-.uld ‘‘writethy name in Heaven.”

The Enemy’s Sea-Coast.
If there is any rule of warfare which is
of instinctive and universal acceptance
among men, whether civilized or savage,
it is to strike the enemy where he is weak
est. The reason is manifest —you strike
thus with the least danger to yourself,
and with most damage to the toe. But it
seems to us that the United Sta.tes Gov
ernment has wholly failed to profit by the
wisdom of ages. We have permitted the
enemies of the Union to pitch their battles
precisely where they wanted them ; and
we have neglected to strike a single blow
where a blow would have fallen with dead
ly ( fleet, and where none could be given
in return.
We entered upon the present war with
undisturbed possession ts the seas ; with
the navy of the United Stages in our
hands ; and without so much as an armed
tug-boat in possession of the rebels. The
entire Southern coast of the rebel States
both Atlantic and Gulf—was defenceless ;
and in its vicinity w-ere millions of dollars
worth of most valuable property —planta-
tion?, plantation produce and slaves. Any
other nation on the globe at war wih the
rebel States would have made a dash, the
first thing, at their exposed seacoast, and.
swarming about their numerous inlets and
bays, would have harrassed them with
fears, and mulcted them with successful
forays, until their plantation society—
which is the animating element of this re
bellion —had been utterly exhausted and
! disorganized.
j But what any earnest fighting nation on
j earth would have done, we have not done.
The Southerner has not had his usual
I summer recreation disturbed by this war.
i He is accustomed to leave his coast planta
tion, in the summer, in the safe charge of
j his o/erseer ; and he does the same in the
! present year of grace. He is accustomed
to North for cool weather, recreation
I ®
! and excitement. He does so still: he is
t
spending the summer vacation in the salu
brious climate of Y T irginia, and has only
changed the sports of the turf and card
table of former years for the more exciting
hut, to him, far more agreeable pastime of
hunting and shooting Yankees. When
the fall comes, and a foe approaches his
plantation, if one should, he will be ready
and willing to go back and fight at home,
for it will be pleasant and healthful to do
so.
( Vol. 3-Na 4:3
f $2 a year in advance-
If we wish to disperse the rebel armies
in Virginia, the best mode is not to at
tack them in front, as we did at Manassas,
but in the rear —at Charleston, SavantfsW,
Mobile, or Berwick’s Bay. It is a long
distance in the rear, either of those places;
but a gun at any one of them would reach
the ear of every planter at Manassas, and
sound a more fearful note than the discor
dant thunder of a thousand gnns at Bull
Run battle. Ten thousand afloat
on the Gulf of Mexico, and seeking an en
trance into the Gulf States at the most
available point for interior attack, would,
in less than two weeks, strip General Beau
regard of half his army. A bold seizure of
any point on the Gult coast, in strength,
and with the fixed purpose to carry the
war home to the plantations of the South
ern oligarchy who made it, would sond a
mortal shock through the Richmond ‘Gov
ernment, and scatter it as men scatter
from a magazine on fire.
At this day there should be at least
three armies of ten thousand men each,
embarking for operations against the
Southern coast. That number could easi
ly capture Charleston, Savannah, or New
Orleans ; and once in our hands, no power
of the rebels could wrest either one away:
If these men were ready to move now, they
could go down over smooth seas, debark
and perform that work at leisure. It we
wait another month, wo shall have equi
noctial storms and rough seas to contend
with, and nosafe ports to take shelter in.
The soldiers will be sickened and weak
ened and demoralized by a tempestuous
voyage, and unfit for enterprising work on
land. But what might be most fata 1 ), the
fleets conveying the troops might be scat
tered, some ships lost perhaps and driven
on rebel shores ; but at all events-so•delay
ed and thrown out of their courses as to
make co-operation in contemplated at
tacks impossible.
When we consider tl e vast advantages
we would have in assailing the rebels by
sea, and penetrating the coast to their
property and their homes, we confess we
are utterly at a loss to know why it has
not been done, and why no preparation
for it is apparently making. The navy is
one arm of the public defence, but we use
it not at all.
Again and again we have urged the vi
tal importance of assailing the enemy on
his seacoast, where we are strong and he
is weak, but we have failed to get a re
sponse from the Government, or general
support of our views from the
Perhaps they are afraid if we send an army
into South Carolina, or into Louisiana,
the slaves may be emboldened to insurrec
tion. Well, perhaps there would be dan*-
ger of it. But if the rebels ever failed to
strike a blow at our Government lest they
should hurt somebody or do damage to
some Northern man’s property, we have
yet to hear of it. We shall have to lose
our sqneamishness about possible injury to
rebel property, or be prepared to submit at
once to rebel conquest. We should throw
an army into South Carolina and another
into Louisiana promptly. If any Union
ist loses his property by reason of the pres
ence of the United States army, he can
have it restored again, or be paid for it.—
If a rebel loses his property, it is good for
him, and will be a better thing if he los
es his life with it. It may suit the rebels
very well for us to have a navy costing us
this year thirty-five milliotts of dollars, the
only use of which is to enforce the block
ade ; but the people of the United Stages
will eventually demand that by some hand
or other it will be driven with destructive
power upon the seacoast seats of this most
wicked rebellion.

Carolina are petitioning for the appoint
