THE TWO AICIICB.
, As life's unending coitimn pours,
Two marshalled hosts are seen—
Two armies on the trampled shofes
That Death flows black between.-
One marches to the drum beat’s roll,
The wide-mouthed clarion's bray,
• And bears upon a crimson scroll,
“Our glory is to slay.”
One moves in silence by the stream,
With, sad, yet watchful eyes.
Calm as the patient planet's gleam
That walks the clouded skies.
Along its front no sabres shine,
No blood-red banners wave ;
Its banner bears the single line,
“Our duty is to save.' 1
For those no death-bed's lingering shade;
At Honor’s trumpet-call,
With Knitted brow and lifted blade
In Glory's arms they fall.
For these no clashing falcions bright,
No ! stirring battle cry ;
The.bloodless slabber calls by night—
Each answers,- “Here anil.”.
For those-the sculptor's laurelled bust,
The builder's marble piles,
The anthems pealing o’er their dust,
Through long cathedral aisles.
• For these the blossom-sprinkled turf
That floods the lonely graves,
When Spring rolls in her sea-green surf •
• In flowery-foaming waves.
Two paths lead upward from below,
And angeds wait above,
Who count each burning life-drop’s flow,
Each falling tear of Love.
Though front the Hero’s bleeding, breast
Her pulses Freedom drew,
Though the white lillies in her crest
Sprang from that, scarlet dew, —
While Valor’s haughty champions wait
Till all tneir scars arc shown.
Love walks unchallenged through the gale - ,
To sit beside the Throne !

Trial of Privateersmen in New Vorli.
fUKjrKN’T I'KFKNt'i: OF MB’. _BRADY. ’
In the U. S. Circuit Court of .Ve\v York, on
.the 29th of October, in the trial of Capt. lin
ker, and the crew .of the Savannah, Mr. James
T. jjrady resumed his .argument by referring to
‘the opinion of Alexander Hamilton, to be
found in .Bancroft's History of the United
States, page 210 and 202 ; also to the language
[of John Adams, to be'found in the same book.
.He Teijd the following “very striking passage
frein a sjieecli made in the House of Ecpresen
, tatlves in 184S: • .
a Any people anywhere being inclined and
.having’ the power- have a right to rise, up and
shake off the existing govcynment .and form a
new- one that suits them better. This is a most
. valuable, sacred right —a right which, we be
lieve, is to liberate the world. Nor is this
right confined to.cases in which the whole peo
- pile of an existing government may choose to
exercise it. Any portion of such people that
can may revolutionize, arid make” their own of
so much of the territory as they inhabit. More
than this, a majority of any portion of such
people may revolutionize, putting 1 down a mi’
nority intermingled with or near about them,
who may oppose their movements. It-is a
quality of revolution not to go by old Hines or
o'ld laws, but to break up both and make new
ones.’’
Now, the jury might think that those were
the ’sentiments of a secessionist-—of Jeff.® Da’
vis. No; these u-erefrom a speech delivered
by Abraham Lincoln in the House of Repre
sentatives on the \'lth of January, 1848.
Counsel referred to Wheaton's International
Law, to the ninth section of |he act, and sev
; eral other authorities, and contended that the
eight foreigners should be left out of tin? cos£
.altogether; and if the Government of Jeff.
Davis is. a foreign power, then the other pris
oners are citizens of a foreign State, and not
amenable to the laws of the United States. °
To convict of piracy there must have been
violence, used or the employment oi'some means
to put the captain of the Joseph in fear, ana
in this ease there was no violence or threats
proved. He then spoke of the question of va
riance as to the authority of Jefferson Davis to
grant the commission to Captain Baker. He
referred to the United States against Harriman
in 13th Deters, where the prisoners were in
dicted for stealing a Treasury note for 350
bearing one per cent interest; but it was found
that it was to bear one mill per cent ; objection
was taken and the Court held that variance was
fatal. So in this case, he (Mr. Biady) conten
ded that the indictment designating the corn
mission as having been issued by one Jefferson
Davis, without stating that he claimed to be
President of the Confederate States, was a va
riance, and fatal. If the Government made
war on the South, as the defence contends it
did, by the-acts of Mr. Lincoln, the South had
a perfect right to defend herself—to arm ves
sels and grant letters of marque, and to oppose
force to force. After some further argument
Mr. Brady concluded by saying; Gentlemen, I
will detain you but a few moment’s longer. —
I have endeavored to show, in the first place,
that these men cannot be convicted of piracy,
because they had not the intent to steal essen
tial to the commission of that offence, and that
you are the judges whether that intent did or
did not exist. If it did not, then these men
are entitled to acquittal on that ground.
If the act of 1790 be constitutional, and if
it can be construed to extend to a case like this
then eight of the prisoners are to be discharg
ed and the other four also, the other four hav
ing acted under a commission issued in good
faith by a Government which claimed the right
to have existence, acted upon in good faith by
themscjves; and with the belief that they were
not committing any lawless act of aggression.
In this conuectioti, I hold it to.be immaterial
whether the Confederate Government was one
of right, established on sufficient authority aC’
cording to the laws of nations, and to be rec
ognized as such,’ or whether it was merely a
Government in fact. . . , :
1 Now, then, we claim, beyond all that, and
apart from the question of Government in law
or Government in fact,-that there exists a state
of civil war which entitles thes§ defendants to
be treated in every other manner than aspi
rates, which iuay have rendered them amena-
Lis'to the danger of-being regarded as prison’
ers of war, but which has made it impossible
for them tq be ever dealt with as felons. Now
I am sorry that it has become necessary in this
diseussionyo open questions for debate, ’any in’
quiry about which at this particular juncture !
in our history, is not likely to be attended with
any great advantage. But, like my brethren
for the defeuee, I have endeavored to state
freely, fearlessly, frankly and correctly the pO’
sitions on which the defendants have a right
to rely before the Court and before you. ’lt;
would have been much more acceptable to my -
feelings as a citizen if we had been sj: ared the .
performance of any such duty. But, -gentle’
men, it is not our fault. The advocate is of
very little use in the days of-prosperity and
peace —(in the periods of repose, in protecting
your property or aiding you to recover your
rights of a civil nature. It is only when .pub
lie opinion, or the strong power of Government
‘the ibrmiilable array of influence, the loree of
a nation or the fury of a multitude, is directed
against you, that the advocate is of any use. —
Many years ago, while we were yet colonies of
Great Britain, there occurred on this island
what is known as the famous negro insnrrcc
tion —the result of an idle story, told by a
worthless person, and.yet leading to such an
inflammation of the public mind that all the
lawyers who then practiced at the bar of New
York (and it is-the greatest stigma on our pro
fession of which the world can * furnish no ex
ample) refused to defend thc-accuscd parties.
One of them was a poor priest, of, I believe,
foreign origin. The consequence was that nu
merous -convictions took place, and a great
many exeentions, And yet all mankind is
perfectly satisfied that there never was a more
unfounded rumor —never a more idle talc—and
that judicial murders were perpetrated on the
face of the earth more Intolerable, more inexcu
sable, more without, palliation, than the actio
w hich I refer. How different was it at Boston
at the time of what was balled the massacre of
Massachusetts subjepts by British forces. Tie
soldiers, on being indicted, sought for counsel,
and they found two men of great eminence in
the profession to act for them. One- of them
was Mr. Adams, and the other Mr. Quincy. —
The father of Mr. Quincy addtessed a letter,
imploring hi in’ on his allegiance as a son, and
from affection and duty towards him, not to
undertake the defence of these men. The son
wrote back a response, recognizing, as he truly
felt, all the filial affection which he owed to*
that honored parent,-hut at the same time ta*
king the liigh®appropriate ground that he must
discharge his duty as an.advocate according to
the rules of his profession,and to'the obliga
tions of his official oa\h,-whatever'might be the
result of his course, o Tlfe struggles, inthc his
tory of the world, to have, in criminal counts,-
an honest judiciary, a fearless jury, and a faith
ful, advocate, disclose a great deal of wrong and
suffering inflicted on advoeatesilenced by force
trembling at the bar where they ought to be
utterly fearless in the discharge of their duty,
inflicted on juries fiines’and imprisonment, and
kept theirr lying in dungeons fur years, because
they dared, in State prosecutions, to find ver
dicts against the direction of the court.
The provisions of our qwn Constitution®
which secure to men trial by jury and all the
ffights'incideut to that sacred tfnd invaluable
privilege, are the history of against which
those provisions arc intended to guard in the
future. This trial, gchitletnen, furnishes* a
brilliant illustration of the beneficial results of
all this care. Nothing could be fairer than
the trial which‘these prisoners have had. No
thing more admirable-that) tlie attention whiclt
you have given to every proceeding in this
case. I know all the gentlemen on that jury
well enoughoto be perfectly certain that what- #
ever verdict they render will be rendefed with
cyit fear dr favor, on the law of the lasd, as they
shall be informed it does exist, on a calm and
patient review of the testimony with a due
sympathy o for the accused, and yet with a pro
per respect for the Government, so, that the
law shall’be satisfied and individual rights pro
tccto.d. * •
But, gentlemen, I do believe most sincerely
that, unless we have deceived ourselves in re’
gard to the law* of the land, I have a° right to
invoke your protection for these* men.. The
bodily presence, if it could be secured, of those
who have been here in spirit by their language,
attending to this debate and hovering about
! these men, in order to furnish them protection
—Lee, and Hamilton, and Adams, and Wash
: ington, and Jefferson, all whose spirits enter
into the principles for which we contend —■
would plead in their behalf. Ido wish that it
were within the power of men, invoking the
great Ruler of the Universe, to hid these doors
and to let the Revolutionary'men to whom I
have referred —a Sumter, a Moultrie, a Marion,
a Greene, a I’utnarn, and the other distinguish
ed men who fought for onr privileges and
rights ih the days of old —and to let them
march in here and look at this trial. T here is
not a man of them who would not say to you
that you should remember —in regard to each
of these prisoners, as if you were his father—
the example of Abraham when lie went to sac
rifice his son Isaac on the mount —the spirit of
American liberty, the principles of American
jurisprudence and the diotates of humanity,
constituting themselves another Angel of the
Lord, and saying to you, when the immolation
was threatened—“ Lay not your hand upon
him.” (Manifestations df applause in court.)

Disaster Is Egyptian Crops*
Late Northern journals assert that the En
glish papers eontam distressing accounts of
the damage by the inundation of Egypt, caus
ed by the extraordinary rise of the waters of
the Nile. Many villages have been over’
whelmed, with great loss of cattle, and even
of human life, greater part of the stand
ing crop of Iftdian corn is stated hi be lost.
Grabanes, both government and private, have
been flooded, and already it is said there is an
intention to prohibit the further exportation of
grain from Alexandria. From the cotton dis
tricts, where the process .of picking the first
ripe pods had commenced, there are accounts
of heavy losses, sufficient to make a material
difference in the ext°nt of the crop, an event
which the Yankee papers say is “to be partic
ularly deplored at the present time.” One ac
count states that the loss of cotton will reach
at least one-third of the.entire amount. It is
said that it will take months to repair the rail
roads, .

Tfar Coal t)mxtioii Aguin.
Why have not the President aud Directors'*
i sis the several railroad companies,* whose roads
terminate at,,this place, had a meeting before .
tbi? time ami regulaled the sßippitig tariff on*
coal, so as to enable the citizens of lower Geor
gia. South Carolina, and South Alabama .tO
procure their supplies from the rich and unde
velopcH mines in East Tennessee ‘{ *ls it not
singular that these men should manifest so lit
tle interest in the welfare of a cause and <3ov
eminent which they profess to love so dearly /
Wo are informed that the Directors of the Mis
sissippi Central Hoad have made a move in the
right direction, and reduced the freight on coal
nearly fifty per cent; but one road alone can
do but little in this inatter, unaided by the .co
operation of others. Why has not a single
step been taken by the managers of the Geor
gia State Road ? We are credibly ’ informed
that the citizens of Savannah, Augusta, Macon
and other cities in lower Georgia, are absolute
ly taking out their grates, and preparing to
burn wood, because they find it impossible to
procure coal. Now there is coal enough within
twenty-five miles of Chattanooga to supply the
whole of Georgia, South Carolina and Florida,’
for years to come, and yet owing to the inordi-’
nate greed and short sighted policy of our rail
way companies, Pennsylvania will have to fur
nish these States with coal again o so soou as the
war is over. Is Gov. Brown willing to” as
sist in bringing about this state of affairs in the
gallant Empire Ft ato ? Then let him instruct
the Superintendent of the State Road to lower
the tariff on coal, so qs to induce capitalists to’
open our immense coal fields in this country
and lay the foundation for a complete indepen
donee of Yankecdom. What sense is there
undergoing the privations of our present war
for independence, wheif, so soon as peace is
made, we shall have to become tributary to the.
North, in making it the market for our prime
necessities of life, and that too, when wc have
all those necessaries in great abundance’jn oyr
(midst ? Surely, it docs seem to us, that it.
these railroad men arc .not at heart alltes of the
Lincoln Government, they will do .something,
to prevent such a State of affairs. — Vhaftanoo*

t A To jv 11 in. mourning* *
A regiment was raised iy Shawneetown, In-
for the Federal Government, which was*,
ip the battlo of Belmont, aud in which nearly
every family in the place had relatives or ,
friends. The news of tiie#fight and defeat off
the Yaflkees caused jJffejt excitement in this
hitherto quiet little t£\vn. The day after the
battle,.a boat■ caffe up witji the ant>
wounded, and such a Scene as ifc*pfesented was
never before’ witnessed by*any oi the inhabi
tants of the place. The boat was cov
ered? from stem to stern with the killed andj*
wounded, and the whole boat recked with the
blood of the victims of Lincoln’s abolition cru
sade against the South., As fast as they were
taken ashore they were; recognized by relatives
or friends and conveyed away for*intermenfc. —
That evening from every door knob streamed
black crape, and. the whole totVn looked as if
it was in mourning. We learn that this regi
ment alone lost four h-undacd in killed and*
wounded. —*Bowling Green Courier. •.

From the New York Tribune we copy the*
following estimate of the cost of'taking Port
Royal : •
\ Rent*of vessels up to this time, say $3,000,000
Pay of soldiers, Sac., np to this time 030,000
Value of Nations consumed up to this .

Value of powder burned up to this time.. 28,000
Value of tlie Governor and Peerless, lost
on the Catalinc scale ‘• 100,000

From the above it will be* seen that the av
erage cost of each shot, reckoning shell, round
shot, and rifle I cannon projectiles of peculiar

A Bit of War Romance.
A correspondent of the Clarksville Jefferso-*
nian, writing from Columbus, Ky., says:—
“Quite a romaivtio little innidant developed it
self here yesterday. Askifi'froui Cairo, with
a flag of truce, made a landing in front of Gen.
Pillow’s headquarters. It contained a young
gentleman and young lady. The young lady
was a native of Port Gibson, Miss., and has
bccu going to school at Columbus, Ohio. \\ hen
the war commenced she found she could not
get home, and has been waiting seveval months
.for an opportunity to see her native soil. Pi.
nally a gallant young Lincolnite (who was pro*-
j bably an ardent young lover,, also,) proffered
bis services to conduct her to this place. At
Cairo he procured passes from Gen. Grant, and
the couple started out in a skiff, and made the
trip down in four hours aud a half. Pillow
gave the young man a pass to return. The af
fair created some little excitement, and fur
nished the hoys sonic food for conversation.-

The Chicago Tribune says :
‘‘Our men, foreed to long marches without
wagons, long fasts, nights in the open air, and
scanty supplies of everything, have sickened
and are dying off. They strew the roads alt
along Central Missouri; they are coming into
St. Louis as fast as special cars, fitted up for
’ the.purpose, can bring them.
