ago, In ltivor cl p<*aee, and closed it with the
lci.ow;ng poeai. Ls delivery wes several limes
interrupted with cheers aud applause.)
f’he has gone, she has left us in paa»ioa in pride,
Gar stormy hi owed sister to long at our aide!
csne has tore her own star it out our Uimament's
And turned or* her brother the lace ot a foe!
Carolixiv, Caroline, child of the sun,
We can never forget that our hearta have been
one;
Our forehead’s both sprinkled in Liberty's name,
I rom the fountain of blood, with the rir#r of flame.
You were si ways too ready to fire at a loucbj
But we said, “.She is hastv—she does not mean
much
We have ecowled when you utteied some turbu
lent threat,
But friendship still wbisoered—" Forgive and
forget.”
Hus our love ail died out ? Have i*s altars grown
cold ? #
has the curse come at laai, which the fafiiers
foretold ?
Then nature mutt teach ut the strength of the
chain *
' hat her petulant children would sever iu twain.
They may tight till the buzzards are gorared with
the spoil,
Ti’l the harvest grows black, aa it row in the soil;
iill the wolves and the catamounts droop from
their caves,
And the shark tracks the pirate, the lord of the
ware*.
In vain is the strife! When its fury Is past,
1 heir fortunes must flow in one channel at last,
As the torrents that rush from rh* mountains of
enow,
801 l mingled in psace through the valley below
Our Union ia river, take, and sky—
Man breaks not the medal when God cuts the die l
i hough darkened with sulpiur, though cloven with
steel.
The blue arch will brighten, the waters will heal.

V-i rr ; ::e Ape, a!i tv foiled in the slime cf the
Jdrjst,

feast.
You’re .’nvited me back, and to what shall I go ?
To the place where the fires of the Beast are aglow,
Where the Lariot bows down to the Brute in her
shame,
And the spirit of freemen is broken and tame.
You’ve invited me back, and, ah I what should I
find?
But the vilest of chains that the vilest can bind,
And the hand that is red with the blood of my
breves,
Would strike me to aarth as the basest of slaves.
You have murdered my sons, you have plundered
mv homes,
Everv hearth has been fouled by your blood-thirs
ty gnomes :
You ha*e *>|:re.= 1 devolution, you hav* ravished
my fair,
And the stench of my corpses has tainted the air.
You have driven ruy daughters defenceless away,
You have spared not the father’s thiu liuglets of
grsy;
'-•i u t.iiiK that disgraces humanity’s name,
:>ut is burned on your brow ae the ayrnbol of
shame.
And still you would have me to return to your
band,
And to quench out. the fires that your Butlers have
fanned :
You would have me to rids s’er the corpse of ray
slain,
Just to put on the yoke of your bondage again.
“But I’ll fight till the buzzard* are gorged with
their spoil,
Till the harvest grows black, as it rots in the soil,
Till the wolves and the catamount* droop from
their caves,
And the shark track* the pirate, the lord of the
waves.”
I will fight till my rivers are swollen with gore,
I will fight till my sons can be rallied no more :
I will fight from the mountain, the swamp, and the
cave,
And will die, ere I’ll live as the Puritan’s slave.
I will fight tiil the last drop of blood shall be
»pill*- J
I will fight till the glow in niy breast shall be
chilled,
And it crushed down by numbers, Carolina can
die,
But the land of your Butler*, she will never come

Praying for Board,
There is a rule at Oberlin College that no
student shall board at any house where pray

Mild —“No, sir, I will not.”
Laniord—“Why not, Mr. Mild.”
Mild—“lt don’t pay, air. I can’t pray

Ihs New York World asys of tlio bill
passed by the Northern Congress iu relnti> u
to raiJlitary arrest* :
It, is the most high-Lauded, barefaced aud
infamous affront that has yet been offered
lo the great charter of our liberties, oven by
the lalsc »ud prej ured party that now c<*u
trol the Governmeui. Every Senator who
voted for this detestable bill is sworn to sup
port the Constitution of which if is .in oj« n
and confessed ropudition. It is nothing
than au act for the e»tablishuient of a de*-
potiaui. It autboriaes aud justifies arbitra
ry arrests at the will of the executive in do
dance of explicit provisions ot the Constitu
tion such arrests. It puts eveiy
tn*u 8 liberty uxi propority out of the pro
tection cf the fundamental law ; it am ihi
istes the power of the State Governments to
protect their citizens against illegal violence;
it tells the President and his miiiious that
they Uiay, with impunity, perpetrate all
these acts of despotism by which the m it
odious tyrants in the worst age* have earned
the execratbu of mankind ; it must provoke
tne indignation of every uiau who is not
ba.se enough to confess himself a coweriug
*la\e. luo proceedings iu oouuectiou with
the passage of this bill prove that every
Senator who voted tor it committed cou
seiouH prejury i that ho knowing and wilful
ly violated the solemn oath he had taken to
support the Constitution of the United
States.
If we proceed to examine the particular
provisions of the bill we shall find that every
part of it put* fetters on the feet of liberty,

eveiy case of prosecution for false imprison
ment it aiiows the defendant to appeal from
court to court, but takes away the right of
appeal from the plaintiff. If the sufferer,
from wanton act* of arbitrary power is de
seated iu the Stste courts, it denies him ail
redress against this misfortune of a preju
diced court or a packed jury, while it treats
proceedings in a State court against his
persecution as Dull and of no effect. It de- ;
elares that the authority or order of the
President shall be a valid and complete de
fence in all such suits, but as if this weie
not broad snpugh to cover au i protect the
numerous aou of despotism which have hern
perpetrated iu violation of the Constitution, ,
it also declares that if “tLere was probable j
cause for the arrest, imprisonment, or oihcr ;
act complained of,” that also shall be “a
full and complete defence to the action, and
it shall bo the duty of the court trying the
act so to instruct the jury, and that, their ,
finding musi be accordingly. 1 ’ That is to !
say, the most malicious stories told by a

marshal, even it he cannot make it appear j
that he had authority of the President for
this daring violation of the Constitution.—
If there was ever anything iu legislative ;
history which deserved to be characterized ;
as a “bill of abominations,” it j* the dis- 1
grace of American legislation.
And the party which passes this infa
mous, this abominable bill, delaying the .
Constitution and annulling all Stato laws
for protecting personal liberty, i« the same
party that two or three years ago was t
paising so called liberty bills in behalf of j
the Noithern States to protect runaway ne
groes against the provision of the Constitu
tion which require* their surrender. So
dear and sacred did they profess to hold iu- j
dividual liberty that they would not allow j
it to be violated even in the person of an es-;
caped slave, and they set up State legi*latiou
against Federal legislation for hi* protection.
The*e sensitive philanthroj ists and doughty
champions of freedom then professed to be
shocked at the denial of the habtai corpus
to these fugative blacks, and made that the
pretext for resisting, by mob violence, the
execution of a law of the United State*. —
And now we see these same champion* of
personal liberty, these same stickler* for
the habeas corpus, these same justifies of
State resistance to Federal power, passing
an act which degrade* the white citizen be
low a condition which they then thought in
tolerable for slaves as black as the acs of
spades.
The Explosion near Vicksburg.—A
rery foolish excitement hag grown up in con
sequence of this affair, which was at first
taken for grantsd to have been the blowing
up of the Jndianola. and one of the Jackson
papers new says “positively'’ that she was
blown up. The Vicksburg CY'uen, of Mon
day say* :
Tbt causa of the sude ejar on Thursday
night is not yet explained, but is said to have
emanated from the explosion of a Yankee
magazine, which they had erected below the
mouth of the canal, near the old quaters of
the Queen of the West, before her capture
We doubt this conjecture, and are not iwars
that a magazine had any ez ; Btenee in that
quarter. We have no longer any hesitation
in pronouncing it a: our conviction that tha
jar was caused by an earthquake

The safty of this boat ic still confirmed

no more fears need be entertained about

“Soon afterwards there entered, with a
shambling, ireguler, rlit.cs' uctteadv gait, a
tali* tank, le>m man considerably over nx
feat in height, with stooping shoulders, IcDg
pendulous arras, terminating in bands of
exraordinary dimensions, which, however
were Ur exceeded in propotion by his feet
He was dressed iu an ill fitting, wriulied
suit of blaek, which put one in miod of an
undertaker’s uniform at a funeral; round
his neck a rope of black silk was knot ed in
a large bulb, with flying.end* projecting
beyond the collar of hi* coat; hi* forn-J
down shirt shirt collar disclosed a sine v
muscular, yellow neck, and above that,
nestling in a great mass of black hair, br *(-
ling audjcumpact, like a ruffcf mourning pin.*
rose the strange, quaint face and head, ov
ered with its thatch of wild republican
of Lincoln.
“The impression produced by the *ize of
the extremities, and by his flipping and wide
projecting ears may bo removed by the appear
ance of kindliness, sagacity and the awkward
bon hommr of his face; the mouth is abr >•
lutely prodigous; the lips stragling and ex
tending almost from one liue of black beard to
the other are only kept in order by tvro deep
furrows from the nostrils to the chin; the
nose itself—a prominent organ—stands out
from the face, with an inquiring anxious
air, as though it were suuffiing some good
thing in the wind; the eyes, dark and deep
ly set, arc penetrating, but full of express
ion, which almost amounts to tenderness;
and above them projects the shaggy brow
running into the small, hard frotal space'
the development of which can scarsely be
estimated accurately, owing to the irregular
flock of thick hair carleasly brushed across
it”
Opinion ok’a Federal Soldier.— -The
Cevelind (Ohio) Piaindealer pubiisties two
letters from a soldier in the army of the Po
tomac. The annexed extracts are
from them :
What do the Cleveland folks think abrut
the war ending? I think the whole trouble
ia at Washington —they do not seem to caro
whether this war ends or not. Thing* look
dark, but I hope it is for the best, f>r all
that I want is to have this war brought to*
close for I am sick of this kind of life.
* * There were lots of negroes
at the place where we were cn picket. I
would not turn my hand over to free ail
the nigger* in the South, for they are better
off where they are than than they could ba
if they were free.
The men of the army of the Potomac are
deserting every day. A good many has left
as, and many more say they are g ing if
we have to cross tbs river, ibe fact of the
thing is, the men have no confidence in tho
generals, nor their officers. Things are in a
bad shape ia this army, and suould not
be surprised to see a rebellion in the srmv.
The men talk it right out and say Tory 1
lay down their arms before they will fight
under such generals as we have to command
this army. I hope there will be no troub.s,
but I fear it, if there i§ not a change for the
better soon.
