Lo! at the vuve of fancy’s magic wand the Editorial hand ; Knights of the Fen, Cavaliers oft Tie Press, Pledg’d truth to defend, error to ledress. IIv 7 party pi aie or rancor often sway’d See them the public arena invade, Many handed as giant Brarens Their weapons of warfare are various ; Argument, gasconade, slang, fierce abuse, They in political tilt freely use. Self-dubb’d oh ! how these knights of the Pen— Push with hot haste into the wordy din, They pp 1 k oracular as Pagan god, As they mount editorial" tripod. E ich rank asserts ihev ordv can devise Tiiose public measures ( qual, just, and wise. Which will alone secure the nation’s wo: 1, And all moral and suci il evils heal. True sentinels they b >ast themselves to be That stand on watch-tower of Liberty, And with prescient wisd< m can descry E tch dim portei t of p litical sky Should the nation heed their voice as they rave, Tho’ Rome, the cackling of geese once did save ? Their wordy conflicts oft exemplify That tale of olden days of chivalry, Os the Knights who if shield they might behold, One vowed it was silver, the other gold ; Each with pride their opinion to maintain, In battle fought until they both were slain ; Their lives in foolish combat they did ri.-k Toe shield possessed both g >ld and silver disk. The strifes of tongues do not like those of yore t With corses heap the field, or stain with gore. TV hen many miles divide the warring tw i in, 1 1 armless must fall the pellets of their brain, Nor leave they any trace of batter’d eye Save that of argument knocked up in ]ii. Oh ! that this was the only recri made Os the strifes in which the Press are array’d Alas ! this land has sa l lesson to teach Os the wild and uncurb’d license of speech. Behold ! yon Temple, that in grand' ur shm.e, Tfs pillars rent, its pristine beautv gone ; I’ho’ lit i p with gi ry’s lingering smile, It wears but semblance of its once proud pile. Who like Erostratus, with direful hand into this temple the fl tuning brand ? Who with the bitter, burning speech of tongue Inflam’d the South with madden’d sense of wrong, And urg’d the North with conscious might of force To press to bloodshed its fanatic course ? An 1 between these wraught internecine strife, Vv ho from same dug drew Freedom’s breath of life, And same cl ildhood of a glorious past, Its golden links, of uaioo strong ha 1 cast. The Press the imputation may disclaim, Fills it not Erostratus’ niche in fan*e ? Thou, wild, UDiestraiu'd license of the Press ! Tho boast of this age of Freedom’s progress ! J he South at least, has bitter cause to rue The doom thy frenzy wild upon Imr drew ; Which placed her neck beneath the foot of foe Whose cruel spleen knows naught of pity’s glow, OH ! how its minions as hyenas rave O’er South entomb’d in political grave ; Or vilely 7 rend her b dy as it lies, Lest firm death-slumber the giant sK uld rise. As smitten in tire greenness of her years, Who sheds not for the South, woe’s deepest tears ? What foe but one, o’er her disgrace and fall Would not draw memory’s forgetful pall? Oh ! my country ! upon thy might of gloom Arise there no star of hope to illumne? He who would now thy name in song em balm, Aud wreath thy brow with honor’s fadeless pa! m f As he thy horoscope of fate would turn, Thy ashes deem with phoenix life to burn. Oh! Freedom diadem’d with thirteen star§ Come thou as erst, to break her prison bars, Stay thou with the grasp of thine iron hand The fury of the legislative band, That in puissant might of conqueror O’er prnutrate South holds the rod of terror. Ye Knighthood of the Press ! the peii you sway, May to that joyful era carve the way ; ’Tig mightier than sword warriors wield, And vainly error will oppose his shield, If truth, and reason oalrn, its sttokes shall guide, Aud C'-urtjy grace ?hali o’er the Pies- pre side. : Scourge from thy ranks the pel it oianV hacks, The tools 'of power, the slaves of green backs ; The bright spurs of bore r hew from their bed, And let them ihe base doom of minions feel.

Tlie London Times says : In a few words, when the women of modern times ask for “rights” they have reason on their side, but the rights are wrongly stated—a wo man’s best right is the right to a natural protector (husband), and that would carry tlfe rest along with it. The London Morning Rost says: It may also be possible to open to them (women) some more profitable fields of industry than they now have ; but nature has defined their position in society too clearly and has given them too important a part to play in life to allow us to confound rights which belong to them with others which do not without lowering them and lessening their proper in fluence. The London Standard says : Yfe invite the women’ to consider the matter in their own interest. We put it to them, as wives anxious for the fidelity of their husbands, as spinsters expectant ts) become wives, whether such a reform as Miss Helen Taylor advocates (political privileges) would be Calculated for the good of their sex. Tho London Telegraph says: Are we to see great-minded, high souled, pure-lipped women degraded in some similar way by shouting in our market-places and polling booths ihe silly shibboleths of an electoral mob ? The London Spectator says : But nobody attempted (at a recent meeting) to show that the mass of women will at once bring f firly-steady and disinterested political minds to bear on the use of the suffrage or that they will not add a great multitude to the vendors of v^tes. Important Decision of C ommission cr Lsborne. —The cuso of Postmaster Jones, against whom a complaint was made by Mr. Wia. 11. Morstino, a lawyer doing business at 75 Nassau street, charging him with detaining a number of letters, which had been* directed to him by correspondents in various parts of the country, was de cided to-day by Commissioner Os b r ie. It will be remembered that Mr. Martine, when under cro-s-examina tion by Mr. S. Gr. Courtney, counsel for the Postmaster, admitted that he had sent circulars agreeing to sell imitations of genuine bills at so much per SIOO. This was held bv the Postmaster as sufficient ground to hold the letters, under general in structions from the Postm ster Gen eral, he having previously informed the complainant of his decision through Detective Taylor. Mr. Osborne, in deciding case, referred to the celebrated Yazoo case, in which a Postmaster was justified in holding printed matter of a treas onable character, and he adverted to the fact that the Postmaster General had given instructions to all Post masters to detain all letters of an immoral character, and all which might be otherwise used to defraud the people ; and having reviewed the evidence in the case, he said it had not been charged that the Postmaster had opened the letters of Marti! e, but that he had detained them after he had found the character of the circulars to which they were answers, lie then dismissed the complaint against Postmaster Jones, whom he held had discharged his duty faith fully. l*lon. Samuel G. Courtney for Postmaster Jones, Edwin James, Esq., for Mr. Martine. Boring for Sail in Prussia. —For the last two years, borings lot* rock salt have been in progress in Sper enberg, near Berlin, Prussia; the latest reports, up to February, 1870, are that a depth of 2,725 feet had been reached, and the thickness of the salt bed explored to 2,439 feet. In order to judge of the exact posi tion and extent of the same, a sec ond boring was being undertaken.— Constitution There is a great freshet in the Nississippi river.

The seconds had in vain endeavored to reconcile them, and it was,neces sary to have recoin so to anus; hut a-! both th * principals were first-rate shots an l swordsmen, it was agreed Unit they should fight, with-—cigars. Two cigirs, similar’in every externa e-p ct, bat one of tlu.m prepared in such a manner that’ it should explode and prove mort and to tho smwker, were placed on the table. The com batants drew lots for first choice. Fhe novel weapons of war were then lighted, and after a few puffs an ex plosion took place and Sir Edward fell back, lie, however, immediately got up and was surrounded by his seconds, while his adversary offered him his hand. “Gentlemen,” said one of his seconds, “you have both of you shown the greatest courage since you were both of v<>u ignorant ►. _ o of the effects of the explosion. Mr. 11. (the other second) and I agreed only to put a little in one of the cigars ; and now let us to dinner. May such be the end of every duel !” 7’ho meeting is said to have taken place on the Belgian frontier. The Religious on the McFar land Case—Dangerous Women. —ln commenting upon the remarkable letters introduced in the McFarland trial, the Observer (Presbyterian gan) uses the following language, un der the editorial heading ot “Dan.> gerous Women :” 'i'he letters have no hearing on the question of McFarland’s guilt or nocence, but they are before the pub' lie as illustrations of a class of wo' men, and of men, too, whose writings and teachings and example are doing much to corrupt society and posiou all the sweets of domestic life. This is the literature of the free love school. It is the sentiment of the sentimental reformers of the present day—pop' id ir, too, with powerful newspapers, political and religious—to pander to their pu: p >s< sand afford them means of reaching and corrupting the pub lic mind and heart. These vile let ters all right minded women would blush to read, but they are such let ters as all free lovers, men and wo men, approve. And diere are no wome 1 more dangerous and tnisshievi ous than they who thus busy thern s< Ives in perverting others from the p iths of virture and hoi or. IVomans Suffrage in Illinois. — The citizens of Illinois are engaged in “reconstructing their constitution. v \ convention tor this purpose, is now in session. A majority report of the Committee on the Bight of Suffrage was taken up in Committee of the Whole, and each section pas: el se/1 atim , without a word of debare or the proposal of a single amendment, and >hen at once taken up by the conven tion for adoption. 4 his looked as if this troublous question was going t irongh the convention without the interruption of and bate or amendment ; but such was not Its fate. The first section was read, and amendments almost without number poured in from all sources until the close of the morning session, and were then re newed at tho opening of the afrer iioon session. The first amende eit offered was by Mr. Yaudev i’t *r, to strike out the word “male.” The women’s rights advocates will be in dignant when informed thet this amendment received 12 affirmative votes, while 40 votes were cast against it, most of them in loud and emphatic tones.

At present the rumor sc ans ffimply the War Department will next take a hand in the solution of the question which thus far has eluded diplomacy. The Western Egg Trade. —Tho magnitude of this trade, when advis ed of it, will astonish many of our readers. Sum# idea may be Termed of it when we state that recently at Toledo, Ohio, there arrived, in a freight tram on the Wabash Railroad, seven car. loads of eggs. ThutC w.<*ro in each car 125. barrels, or 875 bar rels in ail Allowing 120 dozen eggs in each barrel, there were 1,260,000 eggs on board that train. This is tho calcupation of the Toledo Blade,* but ordinary acquaintance with oval lux - * uries would induce the belief that there were more chickens than eggs on hoard. T he process of canning egg3 in their own shells was recently explain ed at a meeting of the New York Farmers’ Club. It is done in t! is manor : When two or three dozen eggs obtained from the heats, placo them in a dish and pour scalding water over them, and immediately turn it off. 7his process is repeated three times by whic7i means.th.e albu men is fixed or coagulated, the pores of the shell closed, and the egg, as it were, canned in its own covering. The eggs thus prepared are then packed in salt, with tho-apex down ward, and they are said, to keep per fectly fresh for m tny months. At the conclusion of one of Mr. Cad/ Stanton's lectures the < ther and; y, in which she declared th; fc we. s .all scon see voung ladies* in Con gress, one of her hearers gave her this conundrum : ‘“Suppose your y ung lady ,-hould, before hei term expires, marry soms distinguished statesman bear a child what then This floored Mrs. Stanton on the spot, for, although she might have said that the first part of the supposition would not be at all po slide, she hated to confess that the other part would be much more than proba ble.— Courier- Jour run, r l be distinguished hut erratic Doc*' tor Mary Walker, has turneu up again in New Orleans, ISO. 2-i-
