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 ! r —, —4 -♦ ♦•- ♦ 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.) ; J 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, . TEBIHS,IIVO OOM ARS, 1h Aitvaiier. • m 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.

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.

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.
