If. “What shall I write ?” said I : You replied—“ Write your first thoughts of me.” Hear now what the spirit you invoke ha3 to say ! FIRST THOUGHTS. The rainbow was always a gladness to me, I never mistook it on land or on sea; And this, was the first thought that T had of thee! .1 thought, too, of-pearls, oi'diamonds, and roses, Os a cloud on which a bright star reposes. The work of Canova* I knew, and knew tlipe — How could I mistake when ’twa* only to see ! The longer I gaze—o ! the beautiful bow ! The brighter its tints and the deeper its glow, 'Till the heavens exult in the radiant show ! The peta ls too, more brilliant in iightjhat’s divine, And thoughts—real diamonds —in darkness that shine; ' * The roses —a wilderness —bloom nil around, No trace of “the curse” in this Eden is found ! O ! ever I knew thee —can never forget ! Till the glad stars above us forever shall set.

About one o’clock a Parrott shell entered the roof of Alexander Duncan's work shop, at the foot of iiasell street, struck on the anvil and boasted. Two young men aud a negro boy were standing by the anvil at the time of the explosion. The two white men escaped uninjured. The negro boy, named Aaron, belonging to Mrs. Heath, was struck on the shoulder amt the left arm brakfti, He also reeieved several severe bruises in the head. It is believed that amputation of the arm wifl be necessary. Between thirty* and forty shells have been tired at- Fori S a enter since our last, most of which struck, but did no damage. The enemy were again busy at the ‘Swamp Angel" Thursday. There was no change in the fleet. * -' New York Disgraced.- -On Saturday, the sth inst., (says the Metroplitaii Record, .March 12th,) a scene was presented on Broadway such as we trust will never again be witness ed in this great metropolis. It was the parade, of a colored regiment, officered by white men, and with an escort of white men It was the saddest proof that could be produced of the degeneracy of our Government, and of the depth of degradation in which the republic has been plunged by the infamous party iu power. Each rank was flanked by a force of police men to propteet the blacks from the possibility of any abuse from the speotators. It wa* hard for on honest man to control his indigna tion at the sight, but it made the blood tingle ro see come of our own race showing, by voice and gesture, their approbation of this infa mous parody of patriotism. Yet, while the idea of seeing the negro in uniform is repul sive to us. we cannot help but pity the poor wretch, with nu mercy to expect from the North when he is in the field. May Gen. Dix, in a speech at the New York Fair, complimented the men and the ladies of the North for their zeal in contributing to the wants of the eonntry ar.d the army, and said there was no such spirit at the South, in be half of the Confederate Government and sol diers. There was nothing in the South like ihe ‘‘earnest arid devoted efforts” of the ladies of the North. If it ware not that a General s commission, when given by Abraham Lincoln, seems to include an obligation to fight the truth as well as tike might wonder at a man in Dix s; ?talien, uttering so flagrant a falsehood against the ladies of the Confed eracy. Their diligent devotion to the cause, and their spirit of self-sacrifice, will be the . praise of the historian long after the footsteps j of the war shall have been effaced. I $3.50 Per Month. Grant’s Programme. —We saw a gentleman yesterday directly out of the Yankee lines, by way of Harpers Ferry, who informed us that the Yankees were making themselves jubilant over the pros** pect of “whipping out the rebellion by early summer." Their “man on horse back” was to do the job in the next nine ty days, and there was not a grease spot of the rebellion to be left. The programme by which this hercu lean task is to be accomplished was freely discussed by all classes of the people North, and is in substance ns follows. Grant with the main body of the army is to advance on Lee, and gobble him up; Burnside, with corps d’arinee df 30,- 000 or 40,000 men is to come up the Southside of of James*river and cut the rebel-. communication with the South, and Butler with a column of 25,000 or 30,000 strong is to take the Peninsula route. All three of the columns are to meet in Richmond, and the gridiron flag is to float from the dome of the Confod erate Capitol by the Ist of June. While these operations are going on Sherman is to press Johnson at Dalton and Loogstreet is to have his hands full in East Tennessee, by keeping up a show of force As soon as Lee is disposed of, Johnson will receive a polite alarm from Grant in the rear, and then, why then, the rebellion will be dead and buried and none will be so poor as to do it reverence. A right pretty programme on paper, truly, but we have seen “a man on horse back” lying in the mnd before to-day, and we have a sort of presentiment that, when Grant runs against Lee, he will be be in the same prediciament, that Pope, was once, that is he wont know hind quarters from his headquarters.

He tried various rem edies, but without effect, until the idea suggested itself that*bleeding might have a tendency to check the disease. With this view he bled his pigs in the roof of the mouth, and with the most beneficial results, having lost but two pigs out of liis large stock, since lie commenced this mode of checking the disease. We hope that our friends in the country who have dis eased swine will try the experiment, and, by this simple remedy, save their bacon. The Fanners Friend says hundreds of hogs have died in this County, within a few moots, of a disease that, has bathed the skill of the best swine doctors. A remedy has been discovered, however. A gentleman informs us that if planters will boil their corn is a strong tea, made of green pine tops, and feed the same to their hogs.it will affect a speedy cure: Try it. The Liverpool Journal of Commerce, of March 21st, says: <l on Saturday an experimental trip of the steamship Badger, recently . construc ted by Messrs Jones, Quiggin $ Cos., for the purpose of conveying cotton, etc., from Nassau to this port, took place. The Bad ger left the San don Deck at 0,30 a. m . and csifce along side the Great Landing Stage, where she embarked a number *»f . parties interested, and left at 11.30 a. rn j making the passage down the Crosby Chan nei. She ran about 80 uoiies, and return ed to the stage at 33d p. in. Her engines, though new, worked beautifully, and her average speed was upward ot 21 miles per hour. There will be another trial trip on on a more extended scale on Wednesday next.

We learn from official authority that Capts. Edwards and Reasons, with G 5 men, captured a Yankee transport at Friar’s Toiut on the 6th inst. (March.) Capt. Edwards dressed himself in citizen's clothes, stationed his command in the cane about a half mile from Friar's Point; and mounted himself on an old poor horse and rode uj* in town. When he arrived there he saw a transport auchored in the river. He walked up to some Yankee traders aud re marked that he had some thirty bales of cot ton which he wished to get on that boat ; ex pressing great uneasiness at the same time, if it remained' there a great while jt’ r might be destroyed by the guerilla bands in'the bottom. After conversing a few minute:, they told him if he would hurry up his wagon.; they would take his cotton on board. He started as if for that purpose ; hut went to his command and put on his uniform and ordered his- men to follow him ; and in a short time they arrived at the spot Where the transport was,'and the order was given to fire, which was complied with. About one hundred shots were fired when the order was given to cease firing, but to shoot every one that attempted to cut the cable. Capts. Edwards and Reason"- and a Texan got in a skiff and paddled to the transport, and boarded her, aud forced the crew to take her to the wharf. All the command then went aboard. .They captured $37,000 in greenbacks, sGo,tX>o in Confederate, over coats, hat pair of boots a piece, and pock et knives, pistols, &e. They then set the boat, on fire and burned it to the water's edge. They killed three, wounded five, and took eighteen prisoners. The boat had on board GOU bales of cot ton and a Targe lot of mer chandize, which were all destroyed. The prize is said to be worth $1,000,000. This daring deed was accomplished with only about 35 men—the balance being lelt to guard the town. \Yc consider this the most dar ing of feats, and most complete victory that has been accomplished during the war. More damage can be done the enemy, more good done the enemy, in this way, Ahan any other with the same number of men, therefore, we hope our Government will recognize them, and let them continue in the good work of breaking up the Yankee trade on O.ur soil.
