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.

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 Digb. Praying for Board, There is a rule at Oberlin College that no student shall board at any house where pray ers are not regularly made each day.* A certain ra?n filled up a boarding house with boarders, but- forgot until the eleventh hour the prayer proviso. Not being a praying men ;:--.self, he looked around for one who 7 c = < - tkhe found one, a weak young •. ; Xruinbull county, who agreed to : .J in praying. For a while all . , but, the boarding master fur u ole so poorly that the boarders „j aiible and to leave, and the oth . the praying boarder actually . Something like the following ’ u: - cuurred at the table : Laul rd—“ Will you pray, Mr. Mild ?’* Mild —“No, sir, I will not.” Laniord—“Why not, Mr. Mild.” Mild—“lt don’t pay, air. I can’t pray on such vituals as these, and unless you bind yourself in writing to set a better table than you have done for the last three weeks, na ry another prayer do you get out of me !” And that's the way naatttr* itood at- lait advice*. AboitUuu LegUlaiiou l’ll** tt*t! of all Abomiuatiouv,” 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, while it£ sr-ts tyranny ou horseback. In 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 man’s peisoual or political enemies, no mut ter whether true or not, are to be “& full aud ; complete defence’' for arbitrary arreais and imprisonment* by every deputy provost! 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 A* for the Indianola, the Litizen says: The safty of this boat ic still confirmed by the latest news vr# have irorn her, arl no more fears need be entertained about . the matter. Hands are itiil sngaged in re pairing, and we soon expect to hear of her !in *ome quater where she will do good ser vice.

He himself had been within the giasp ol the arbitray power, iutpris ned wii h out cause, aud released; and to this day he had nevei Lccq able to learn any cau"»e.— Hu remembered what a shudder went over the civilized world when King Bomba im p isoned a few young men in the dugeons of Naples ; and though the dungeons were liu ed, tho vengeance of our outraged people rose to vindicate their right, and t --day Na ples was redeemed, and tho B urb m family driven into exile. Vengeance* was certain, sooner or later, to overtake the opprissor. This bill proposed to sbel.er the Presi dent and his subordinates from the conse quences of their unlawful acts and to lcgul | ize illegally The light to suspend the writ of habeas corpus WB6 exclusively legislative. and was never granted, to the Executive It was a libel on the wisdom aDd patriotism of our fathers to suppose that the Executive had any such power as to suspend this writ. Portrait of Abruiiuiz; F. Russel, of the London Times, in the South killing book of observations in Aw’erict, ha has lately published sketches or the I/icta* tar as follows. “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. A bill has been passed by the Senate of Minonesota expelling the Si«,ux trom that S»at«.
