Tbe Trial of John II. Surratt.
There are various fipucnlalion# and surmises
afloat in this city as to the re-trial df John II.
Surratt, and there is a genera! dehire to ascertain
the exact state ol ttie cose, The statement that
the Attorney General entertained the opinion
that lie.(Surratt) conld not again be legally ar
raigned lor the crime ol murder, has led to some
thing like a counter opinion by the five United
States Judge* of this District, who unanimously
held tliHi lie can and will be again tried, and
that withiu a very short time. It is also stated
that they are of opinion that an impartial jury
cannot be obtained in this District, and it is be
lieved that application will lie made to Congress
to authorize a panel to lie taken in some State
outside the District, either lit Ohio, Pennsylva
nia, or Maryland.— Wash. dispatch N. Y. Tribune.
The perusal of the above paragraph induces
us to express an opinion we formed on reading
the testimony and the argument of counsel on
both sides, and that is, as a matter of law, John
H. Surratt was entitled to an acquittal. First,
taking the inculpatory evidence as true—and it
did not make out a case of principal in the «ec-
ond degree, for which he stood indicted—and
secondly, all of the testimony which went to con
vict hitu of any participation whatever in the as
sassination of President Lincoln, was either fully
rebutted, or successfully discredited. We t bought
at the time—after the Jury had made a mistrial—
that the Attorney General of the United States
would certainly order a nol. pro*., seeing as he
must have seen, both in his capacity of lawyer
and officer, that John II. Surratt never could be
both fairly and legally convicted, and that hence
it would be oppressive anil dishonorable in the
Government to continue him in prison, and to
prosecute him lurther. But in this, as in nearly
everything else, there is a mystery about Presi
dent Johnson’s administration that outsiders can-
not understand, or reconcile with the ordinary
rules o( common sense. Ilis position on paper is
nearly without variation, right, but his action
tiills far short of what ought to tic expected, and
on some very material points, not only inconsis
tent but. absurd.
That lie does not order the prosecution against
Surratt discontinued, is not more mysterious
than his keeping about him for so long a lime a
Cabinet ol his enemies—his appointment of
blood thirsty Radicals to crush the friends of
Constitutional liberty in the South, and his con
tinuation of Pope utter his attempted suppress
ion of the independent and conservative press
in his District, without requiting him to reverse
his objectionable orders, and to cease his whole
sale censorship of the Press—or the permission
tacitly, but effectively granted to all the com
manders, to disregard his pardons, both general
and special. Must President Johnson thus vio
late principle, oppress the people, imprison men
like Surratt, and disgrace himself, in order to
atem the torreut ol Radical abuse and persecu
tion ?
It seems from the extract that the Attorney
General “entertains the opinion that he (Surratt)
could not again be legally arraigned lor tbe
crime of murder.” This, we supi>ose, is upon
the ground that he lias epos been put in jeopardy
of his lile, and cannot be put so again under the
Constitution of the United States. The current
ot American authorities, we think, ure against
the Attorney General; but, according to our
memory, the current has its source at a compar
atively recent date, and is not sustained by the
English authorities anterior to our revolution.
Wo have believed, do now believe, and the
probability is, ever will believe, that the Ameri
can decisions are not law. It certainly has no
foundations in any written Constitution or acts
of legislation, and is out and out made by the
Judges, who are powerless to enact, and have
only power to expound or declare what the
Law is.
Theru is no reasoning, however strong or
plausible, which can controvert the truth ot this
proposition—that niter a prisoner has been le-
g„,)y indicted and arraigned before a competent
court and jury, the latter ol whom becomes fully
charged with the case and tails to agree, and is
discharged by the court without the consent of
the prisoner, who is again arraigned and tried
In the same manner, has, on this second trial, his
life tic ice put in jeopardy.

We learn from the Albany News that on Sat
urday night last there was a tire in that city, on
the South side of Broad street, opposite the
Stubblefield llou«e, which burned several wood
en stores, and did damage to the amount of ten
thousand dollars, on which there was probably
little or uo insurance.

NOTICE OF APPEAL.
As will be seen from a dispatch in this issue.
Judge Hill on yesterday delivered his opinion in
the ease ot Coi. McCuKlle, remanding him “to
the tender meraies, ot the military.'’ This case
»o iuvolves the rights of every citizen, and hence
has so eugrossed public attention, that all are
familiar with its details.
Although we tried to prepare out selves for the
possibility of such an issu£ ot ibis case, we are
am ized at it.
Wo expected .1 edge Hill take tbe \ iew most
favorable for sustaining the action ot Gen. Ord;
but alter allowing tor all possible bias consistent
with judicial honesty, we could not think it pos
sible that this inhunons military bill could be
sustained by any court.
It is not so strange that Geu. Ord, by education
and profession a soldier, influenced in all his
inodes ot thought and notions ot law by military
absoluteism, the tendency of which is to exag
gerate in the mind the idea of power and to ob
literate the idea ot right, should have taken a
narrow' and contracted view ot the rights of the
citizen. The soldier is the reptesentative of
power, the judge ot right—and how a judge,
who has made law the study and profession ot
his life, could consent at ouo fed blow to pros
trate it at the tool of absolute and irresponsible
power, is utterly beyond «.power to under
stand.
The cast' involves the n ids of every citizen.
In the person of Col. MeC trdle every citizen ot
Mississippi, aye. and the State itself, is wound
ed; in him we are ue-po i 1 ot every vt-siige
of citizen rights.
This case also iuvolves the constitutionality
of the military hill. That question was, as we
are ink rated, broadly and ably presented in the
argument, if' well itilonueti men amongst u=
have ever dreamed that ibis Lull could stand the
lest ct strict judicial scrutiny. Indeed, it ha*
been iv tilted ot bait i
The people of Atlanta need an educational
institution of a high grade. This is the greatest
want of the city. While it has displayed un
usual energy and enterprise—in many respects
outstripping any other place in the State, and
indeed in the wnote sou in. lu umtviiot
ment, it is confessedly far behind, what it should
be, iu institutions for the mental culture of its
youth, and the diffusion of literary taste and re
finement among the people. We can never ob
tain that respectable and polished state of so
ciety becoming a people occupying a position so
highly favored, in other respects, without gene
ral and enlarged diffusion oi knowledge, such as
a College or University in our midst would af
ford. Our sons must be educated—thoroughly
educated.
Atlanta, with her teeming population, should
contribute her just proportion of educated men
to fill the various important stations in State and
church. She has the raw material in abundance.
Among the hundreds of her youth, are, doubt
less, many gems, who, if thoroughly polished,
would reflect not only honor upon their native
city, hut prove a blessing to their country. But
this cannot be done, unless we have an institu
tion id our midst. A few may be sent to distant
colleges, but t lie number must ever be small, and
limited alone to those who have wealth. Not
one in ten or twenty will obtain a collegiate edu
cation. Whereas, a college within the city would
be readily embraced by at least fifty annually.—
Wliat an honor! What a boon would it be to
Atlanta to have fifty of her young men, annually
sent forth fitted to fill the stations of uselulness
and responsibility in the country ? But I would
not dwell on these advantages at present.
All I design at this time, is to call the attention
of the public to the action of the Synod of Geor
gia at its late sessions in this city, which heads
this article.
Oglethorpe University is to be removed from
its prescut location. The whole matter is re
ferred to the Board of Trustees. Its decision
will lie made withiu a month or six weeks, or so
soon as the concurrence of the Synod of Ala
bama is received. The action of the Board will
be influenced, no doubt, materially, by proposi
tions which may be made from places desiring
its location.
Atlanta has the advantage, in many respects,
of any other place in the Slate. In healtliful-
ness, accessibility, proffered patronage, central
position in relation to the great mass of the pop
ulation of the State, and the enterprising char
acter of her population, she stands without a
compeer. These are great advantages, and in
some respects should be regarded as paramount.
But there are other things to be looked at, in
making tbe decision. There are pecuniary in
terests to be consulted. In removal it neqessa-
rily abandons its present local habitation—its
buildings. These will be almost a total loss. It
must lmve like accommodations, at the point to
which it may be transferred. To erect such a
building or buildings will not at first require a
very great outlay. It will need sufficient lecture
rooms aud other offices to facilitate imparting in
struction. It will need no dormitories, or stu
dents quarters. These will be better provided
iu their own homes, or in well regulated board
ing houses. It is believed that all the buildings
at present necessary, may be erected at an ex
pense not much exceeding $ 10,000. But I would
avoid details.
Now, what say you, people ot Atlauta ? Do
you desire a college to be lounded in your city ?
Here is as favorable an opportunity as you may
ever lmve. What say you capitalists, merchants,
and manufacturers ? And, above all, what say
you lathers who have sous to educate? If you
send them abroad to college it will cost you from
$800 to $400 a year, or through a full collegiate
course from $1,200 to $1,500. At home you may
educate them aud incur no other expense than
tuition fees. Here you may educate them under
your personal supervision, abiding under your
own root-tree, till they complete their course,
ready to go forth on the career of life. What
will you say to the Board of Trustees, now soon
to assemble? Will you say to them, give us the
college and we will erect buildings lor its ac
commodation within one year worth $10,000, or
more, it necessary ?
The City Council made, last spring, a noble do
nation ot ten acres of land, as a site on which
to build the college. Now, will you commence
the work of building? J. S. Wilson.
As soon as possible two physicians. Drs.
Bunker and Miller, came oyer from Lockland,
aud attended faithfully to the injured—none fa
tally, fortunately, save the unhappy victims of
the’flre. Dispatches were sent to the city, and a
special car, bearing Drs. Wood, Murphy and
Miller, and containing stretchers and other ne
cessaries, was sent to the scene of the wreck.
When the fire had exhausted itself, the wreck
was cleared away trom the track aud search for
the dead was made. A headless trunk aud a
trunk that lacked limbs were lound, and three
others were found less mutilated. While the
ul rcB'ing of tLo -tv tmudcO war* iu j'tagrrss, tllCSe
ghastly remnants of humanity were picket out
all charred aud blackened, and still smoking with
beat, arid carefully laid aside. So far as was
possible, tbe parts were placed together. There
were remnants of two bodies, however, that
amounted to nothing more than several unrecog
nizable masses of broiled flesh and broken bones.
THE WOUNDED.
The wounded were brought into the city at
10* o’clock, every possible attention being shown
them. We have secured the only list of their
names that is near to perfect, anil present it as
follows: Richard Carr, Toledo, right arm broken;
with both hands the prince nsketh, and the judge
asketh for a reward ; and the great man ho ut-
teretli his mischievous desire; so they wrap it
up. The best of them is a brier ; the most up
right is sharper than a thornhedge ; the day of
thy watchman and thy visitation cometli; how
shall he- their pci-plexity. Trust ye not in a friend
put ye not confidence in a guide.
Therefore I will look unto the Lord ; I will wait
for the God of my salvation ; my God will hear
me. Rejoice .not against me, 0 mine enemy
when I fall, I shall arise ; when I sit in darkness,
the Lord shall be a light unto me. I will bear
the indignation of the Lord, because I have
sinned against him, until he plead my cause
and execute judgment lor ese ; he will bring me
iorin to tin- light, and I shall behold his right
eousness.”
Then there is light—there is hope. Our eyes
have been strained in the wrong direction. Our
lips have professed our belie/*! a Supreme Be
ing; our thoughts, our lives—uni- affections, our
trusts have been fastened earth, and we
have found nothing but darkness, because we
have not lifted our eyes above the horizon to the
Great Source of Light
And now that we have found light, let us be
thankful; “let us walk in the fightlet us re

The Ohio Railroad Disaster.
The Cincinnati Commercial gives the details of
the distressing railroad slaughter which occurred
on the Cincinnati & Dayton Railroad on Thurs
day evening. The Commercial says:
A terrible calamity occurred yesterday morn
ing on the railroad commonly known as the
Cincinnati, Hamilton * Dayton, but which is
used in common by several road9, a short dis
tance above Locklaud, Ohio, at about a quarter
of six o’clock. The darkness of early morning
was made impenetrable by a dense fog. An ex
tra freight train of thirty-six cars, drawn by the
engine “ Beckett,” was obliged to halt on, aud
north and south of, the bridge above the Lock-
land station, owing to the breaking of the en
gine’s pilot. The engineer immediately sent back
k man to flag the express traiu that he knew was
following him—a combined eastern and northern
express, made up of passenger coaches of the
Atlantic & Great Western Railroad, through
from New York, and ot the Dayton <Sr Michigan
Road, from Detroit, connected lit Dayton. The
traiu left Hamilton at twenty-seven minutes af
ter five, and took about twenty minutes to reach
this bridge. Tbe flagman’s lights tor this train
were discovered iu good time, anti it was
promptly halted.
THE CRASH.
Whistling the brakes down, turning its wheels
with reversed motion, doing all that it could to
avoid its tate, the Franklin, an unwilling agent
of death, slid along the wet rails, propelled by
tbe momentum ot its train, and plunged half its
length into that rear "sleeper.” The crash was
terrible. Instantly nearly all the passenger cars
j were jammed into each other, and the Sieedman
| was driven into the caboose ot the freight :raiu.
j In two of the cars people were waiting under
■ the tortures of torn limbs and bodies; but iu tbe

IDENTIFICATION OF THE DEAD—FOUR SISTERS
KILLED TOGETHER.
Since the above was written, we have come
into possession of important facts; the identifi
cation, fiuaily, of tbe victims of crush, steam
and fire. Ten pieces ot baggage, mostly trunks,
were round belonging to the four ladies. Eight
of these were opened. They were found to con
tain splendid wardrobes of four ladies, all neatly
packed away for a journey. Among the letters
they contained were some that fully established
the identify of the owners, proving them to be
four sisters of a wealthy family of New Orleans,
of the name of Morgan, their given names being
Harriet, Rebecca, Sarah and Elizabeth.
One of the letters was from Gen. Beauregard,
as President of the New Orleans, Jackson and
Great Northern Railroad, recommending them
to the kind attention of railroad men generally.
It appears that they left their home in New
Orleans iu June last, and spent the summer and
fall at St. Catharine’s Wells and Toronto, Cana
da West. When killed, they were on their way.
home, intending to stop at Louisville and spend
a couple of days with some of their acquaint
ances there.
Another letter was from Charles Harrod, New
Orleans, signed as their affectionate brother, and
indicating that he was acting as agent of their
property. There was also a letter from his wife,
Clara M. Harrod, signing herself as their affec
tionate sister, from which it is inferred that Mr.
Harrod, is their brother-in-law.
THE FIFTH VICTIM—A RECORD OF HEROISM.
It has been ascertained that the gentlemen
killed was Mr. Charles Jackson, of Bostou, who
had acquaintances on the train and friends in
this city. This man was not scratched. He was
roasted alive, in the full vigor of manhoad, and
lie met death in the heroism of a vain attempt
to save one or more of the ladies. After the
crash he was seen outside of the train, on the
ground, entirely unharmed. It wn9 supposed
that he was standing on the platform and jump
ed, hut when he saw the head of one and the
hand of other of the ladles who were imprisoned
in the car and appealing for help, projecting
from the window, while the steam was scalding
them, but before the roasting alive had com-
:nwnced, he worked his way back into the car
(how it is not known, unless through one ot the
windows) in a noble effort to save life. But he
was immediately choked and blinded by smoke
and steam, aud sank down beside liis fellow-
travellers and sufferers and died with them.
Disturbance on Wednesday Night.
A party of soldiers belonging to this garrison—
composed about equally of cavalry and infantry,
and numbering 15 or 20 in all—collided at the
Bell-Johnson Hall corner on Wednesday night,
when a promiscuous fight ensued. So far as we
were able to learn, tbe difficulty had its origin
in a general feeling of animosity existing between
the infantry and cavalry at this post, which on
other occasions, as on this, when the two arms
of the service met out of camps, resulted in a
trial of manhood. Iu this instance, the party
was a little larger than usual and the combat
somewhat more vigerous, though no damage ap
pears to have been done further than a black
eye or two, and several sore heads. We did not
ascertain which party was victorious. This oc
curred at about 11 o’clock. At a later hour, the
police arrested two soldiers, supposed to be of
the same party, who had entered a house in some
remote locality aud taken forcible possession.—
These are represented to have been particularly
Dugnacious, and resisted the arrest to such an ex
tent that harsh measures were necessary to sub
jugate them. On reaching the calaboose, where
it was proposed to retain them in durance vile
until their commanding officer should send for
them, such was their reluctance to being locked
up for the night that it took about seven mem
bers of the police force to manage them, and
only were enabled to do so then by a free use of
their batons. These occurrences are to be
regretted, and the commandant ot the post, we
hope, will adopt rigid measures to prevent them
iu the future. The city has, since it was first gar
risoned, we believe, been comparatively exempt
from such disturbances, and we trust it may re
main so. The officers on duty here can arrest
such if they will take the trouble.

Starvation at Beaul'ort, South Carolina.
The undersigned, having visited Beaufort,
South Carolina, recently, have been urged to
make a public statement of the condition of a
portion of its people. Some of the old families
ot the town, after five years of refugeeism, have
returned, but not to find their former homes, or
even a shelter for their heads. Their houses,
their plantations, their cattle, their boats, their
furniture, every thiug in the lfhnds of others, re
moved or destroyed. Only-those who stand
upon the ground and mingle with the people
can realize what universal aud complete confis
cation means. They must bnv back their own
houses or rent others. They are excluded from
all employment. They are unprovided with
clothing suitable for the wiuter, but what dis
tresses them more, they are without food. These
Southern families are composed chiefly of old
persons, young ladies and little children. Their
young men, the few who have survived the war,
can go abroad, but where can these go ? They
have not ’ means to come to Savannah to seek
employment. Could they find it if they did
come ?
These to whom we have reference were once
families of wealth. Tlieir homes were almost
boundless in hospitality. They are educated,
refined, Christian people. How keen their sen
sibilities—how acute their anguish !
They must have aid or die of want. Absolute
ly they have not means to give a decent burial
to their dead.
Pressed and tried, as are most of our people,
our condition is for better than theirs. Our
homes, lands, stock and furniture have not been
confiscated. We state explicitly, that we have
never seen worthier objects of sympathy and aid
than a part of the old citizens of Beaufort.
Messrs. Holcombe & Co. will cheerfully re
ceive, and forward any articles of food and
clothing, or any money, that may be left at their
store. * S. Landrum,
Isaac Brunner.
The above extract is from the Savannah Re
publican. It is a sad picture of the condition of
the people at Beaufort, South Carolina. We fear
there are many other localities just as destitute,
and yet others fast becoming so. We wish we
had space for the Republican's touching and elo
quent appeal in behalt of these unfortunate suf
ferers. We commend them to the charitable
everywhere, aud especially to those who have
means to give, as well as hearts to feel.
A Bold and During Bobbery,
We are informed that on Thursday evening
last, a little before dark, two men called at the
residence of Mr. Y. J. Harrington, who lives five
or six miles northeast of Gainesville, and in
quired the way to this place, and were directed
by some of the family. They then asked per
mission to stop for the night, and were invited
in. When they arrived at the door, they ordered
Mr. Harrington, who was unwell and lying be
fore the fire, to surrender, aud give up his arms.
He informed them that he had no arms, and
asked them what they meant; one of them re
plied, “We mean a greet deal,” and ordered him
to get up and deliver to them his keys—at the
same time presenting a pistol—which he did.
They then west into the other room, and began
to unlock the drawers and search for money and
valuables. While they were thus engaged, Mr.
Harrington started to leave, fearing, no doubt,
that they would murder him after they had
completed their robbery. They discovered him
as he left, ami fired three or four shots at him,
but fortunately without effect. They succeeded
in getting about forty dollars in bank bills, a role
of Confederate Treasury notes—doubtless think
ing it greenbacks—a gold watch, an overcoat
and dress coat, and then left. Mr. Harriugtdh
collected some of his neighbors and pursued
them for some distance, but up to tlie time we
write has not succeeded in arresting them.—Air

Is this darkness interminable? Shall the
rihle. While the bewildered aud trightened pas-
termrs to u> by the con- sengers in the other cars were l»eing released, the
fidence we have felt, that whenever it was put j sleam, scalding hot, was parboiling these man

unmitigated chaos? Or, is there still a ray ol
hope to cheer us—a sign of coming life —a pro
mise of deliverance from thraldom?
It is not for the conquered to dictate terms to
he conqueror: but the former has a right, with
the boasted civilization of the nineteenth cen
tury, to expect better than Punic faith of the lat
ter'; and when terms agreed upon are disregard
ed, and annulled by the stronger party, the
weaker has a right to complain. But of what
avail is complaint ? It is true that Congress
violated the terms of our surrender; it is true
that fresh demands were made of us; and, with
unwarranted confidence in the promises of those
making them, acceded to by us, until self-debase
ment— self-destruction is demanded oi us, and
we demur. What right have we to demur?
Are we not rebels? Are not our conquerors
saints? “All our demurs but double their at
tacks.” They have the power, or think they
have, and if we will not debase ourselves, they
will debase us. W e are proud, they say. “Pride
goeth Indore destruction,” and if they cannot
grind out every trait of humanity—blot out the
divine impress that distinguishes man trom the
brute, we must be destroyed. Yes, “History re
peats itself,” "Carthage must be destroyed.”
"Watchman, tel! us of the night.

Romance in Real Life.—The four unfor
tunate Misses Morgan, who were burnt to death
by the dreadful accident on the railroad, near
Cincinnati, on Thursday morning last were
ladies of education, refinement, goodness, and
respectability, and, as we have already stated,
daughters of the late Benj. Morgan, Esq., for
merly of the firm ol Price & Morgan, merchants
in Philacelpliia, and afterward President of the
Bank of Louisiana at New Orleans, and in
terested in large estates.
At the time Messrs. Price & Morgan dissolved
partnaaship they each possessed a handsome
fortune, and they mutually agreed that iu the
cnee of pecuniary misfortune or loss befalling
either ol them, the other, (if still in good cir
cumstances,) was to share his property with the
unfortunate one.
Many years afterward, Mr. Chandler Price-
failed iu Philadelphia, and Mr. Benjamin Mor
gan transferred to him a fine row of buildings
on Tchoupitoulas street, New Orleans. Some
years alter, and about the time of Mr. Morgan’s
death,'the latter became much embarrassed by
endorsements for his acquaintances. Mr. Price,
in the meantime, accumulated another fortune,
after the death of his old partner re conveyed
the sam^ valuable property on Tchoupitoulas
street to Mr. Morgan’s Children.
Tliis is one ot the rare instances, in this life,
of faithful, honorable, aud undying friendship,
and quite as extraordinary as that all tour of the
daughters should be killed at one teil swoop, a
thousand miles lrom home.—Louis ride Courier,

Gen. Hancock Revokes Another Order.
New Orleans, Dec. 4.—Paragraph 2 of Spe
cial Orders 202, Headquarters ol the Fifth Dis
trict, dated to-day, is as follows:
Paragraph 3 oi Special Orders, No. 188, from
these Headquarters, dated Nov. 16, 1867, issued
by Brevet Major General Mower, removing P.
R. O’Rorke, Clerk of Second District Court, Par
ish of Orleans, for malleasance in office, aud ap
pointing R. L. Shelby in his stead, is revoked,
and P. R. O’Rorke is reinstated in said office.—
If any charges are set up against said O’Rorke,
the Judicial department of the Government is
sufficient to take whatever action may be neces
sary in the premises.
Paragraph 1 of the same order suspends that
portion of Order No. 201 ordering Gen. Mower
to join his regiment, and says Mower will remain
in this city awaiting further orders.
The Constitutional Convention passed a reso
lution fixing the pay ot members at $10 per
day and mileage 20 cents each way ; also elected
a colored Warrant Clerk.
Fitz Greene Halleck.
Fitz Greene Halleck, who died on the 20th in
stant, at his birth place, Guilford, Connecticut,
lived so long that he had seen most of the friends
of his youth drop down about him. Yet some of
these are preserved, to whom the news of his
death has come with the peculiar poignant pang
that only the aged feel when such companions
perish, and which the aged cannot hope for time
to wear away. The larger number of his coun
trymen knew Mr. Halleck, and will not foil to
cherish his memory, as an American poet. These
also retain a vague recollection of his having
been at one time in charge of John Jacob Astor’s
business affairs. But these do not know much of
the individual character, the personal charm, the
social spirit, of the man once a member of that
goodly company which included Irving, Coop
er, Paulding, Lang and Drake, and had been a
welcome guest at the homes of the worthiest
merchants and public men of the early part of
this century to the present time. He was born
seventy-two years ago, July 8,1795. He entered
as clerk at tiie bank house of Jacob Barber when
he was eighteen years of age. There he made
the connection with Mr. Astor, which lasted un
til after that gentleman’s death, who named him
as one of the trustees of the Astor Library. This
position he continued to hold, although, in 1849
he retired from all active business and went to
live in Guilford, In 1818, his lines to “Twilight,”
the earliest in date of his collected poems, ap
peared in the New York Evening Post. During
flic two succeeding years ho assisted Joseph
Rodman Drake in contributing the humorous
series of “ Croaker” papers to the same journal.
The ill health ot Drake compelled the discon
tinuance of those papers, and his death in the
lollowing year was commemorated by Halleck in
the poem, beginning:
Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days!
None knew thee but to love the«,
Nor name thee but to praise.
The poem of “Fanny”—a satire on the follies,
fashion and public characters of that early day—
was completed within three weeks in 1819.—
created almost as great a sensation in
metropolitan society as Byron’s “English Bards
and Scotch Reviewers” did in London and Ed
inburg. Copies were demanded and circulated
in manuscript after the original edition, which
was not immediately republished in America,
had bee i exhausted. Besides the aiiy sarcasm
with which this production abounds, it contains
some descriptive passages of local interest that
were very much praised, as, lor instance, the fol-
iug apostrophe:
Weehawken I Iu thy mountain scenery yet,
All we adore of nature in her wild
Aud frolic hour of infancy, is met;
And never has a Summer’s morning smiled
Upon a loviler scene, than the ftrll eye
of the euUiusi&st revels on—when high

deet-8tcod W. J. SCOTT.
Amid thy forest solitudes, he climbs
O’er crags that proudly tower above the deep,
And knows that sense of danger which sublimes
The breathless moment—when his darirg step
Is on the verge of the cliff, and he can hear
The low dash of the wave, with startled ear—
Like the death-music of his coming doom,
And clings to the green turf with desperate force,
Ab the heart clings to life; aud when resume
The currents in hie veins their wonted course,
There lingers a deep feeling—like the moan
Of wearied ocean, when the storm is gone.
In such an hour he turns, and in his view,
Ocean, and earth, and heaven, burst before him ;
Clouds slumbering at his feet, and the clear blue
Of summer’s sky in beauty bending o’er him—
The city bright beiow; aud far away,
Sparkling in golden lights, bis own romantic bay.
Having visited Europe in 1822-23, Halleck
published in 1827 au edition of his poems, in
one volume, which included “Marco Bozzaris.”
“Alnwick Castle,” and “Burns.” The first
named poein, one of the most popular martial
lyrics in the language, is also conceded to be
amoug the most spirited and beautiful. Like a
good many other poems of its class which have
been introduced into school “readers,” and em
bodied in juvenile collections, the “sound and
:renzy” of it have doubtless more commended it
to the younger generation than the elegance of
its diction, its symuietery as a work of art, and
its noble poetic fervor. In common with Long
fellow’s “Psalms ot Lile,” Byron’s “Battle of
Waterloo,” and the familiar scene in “Marmion,”
it must be read over again by the man who
spouted it as a boy, it its excellence is to be iully
appreciated. Nearly every line of “Marco B*z-
zaris” has been frequently quoted by the best, as
well as the worst writers; and this passage is
certainly as familiar as a cradle song to halt the
people in the world who read the English lan
guage:
Come to the bridal chamber, Death !
Come to the mother's, when she feels
For the first time her first-born’s breath :
Come when the blessed seals
That close the pestilence are broke,
And crowded cities wait its stroke;
Come in consumption's gliastiy form,
Tb- earthquake shock, the ocean storm ;
Come when the heart beats high and wjrin
With banquet song, and dance and wine ;
And thou art terrible—the tear.
The groan, the knell, the pall, the bier ;
And all we know, or dream, or fear
Of agony. are thine.
But to the hero, when his sword
Has won the battle for the free,
Thy voice sounds like a prophet’s word;
Anil in its hodow tones are heard
The thanks of millions yet to be.
Come, when his task of tame is wronght—
Come with her lanrel leaf, blood-bought—
Come in her crowniug hour—and then
Thy sunken eyes' nnearthly light
To him is welcome as the sight
Of sky and stars to prisoned men;
Thy grasp is welcome as the hand
Of'brother in a foreign land;
Thy summons welcome as the erv
That told the Indian isles were nigh
To the world-seeking Genoese,
When the land wind, trom woods of palm,
Aud orange groves, and fields of balm,
B’ew o’er the Haytien seas.
