Annapolis, Md., April 28.--To give you an example of the punishment traitors receive, we can see from where I am writing, about two miles from shore, on the yard-arm of the U. S. Brig Caledonia, two men hanging--one for smuggling provisions and powder to the rebels at Charleston, the other for piloting the Seventh Regiment on the Chesapeake bar, with the intention that the Baltimoreans might get possession of Annapolis before the Seventh could land. --Ex. from a Letter, date Annapolis, in N. Y. Sunday Atlas, May 5.
rts of New England's shore, Back to your hills, and delve The soil whose craven sons forswore The flag in Eighteen Twelve! We wreathed around the roses It wears before the world, And made it bright with storied light In every scene of bloody fight Where it has been unfurled; And think ye, now, the dastard hands That never yet could hold Its staff, shall wave it o'er our lands, To glut the greed of gold? No! by the truth of Heaven, And its eternal Sun, By every sire whose altar-fire Burns on to beckon and inspire, It never shall be done! Before that day, the kites shall wheel Hail-thick on Northern heights; And there, our bared, aggressive steel, Shall counter-sign our rights! Then, spread the flaming banner O'er mountain, lake, and plain! Before its bars, degraded Mars Has kissed the dust with all his stars, And will be struck again; For could its triumph now be stayed By hell's prevailing gates, A sceptered Union would be made The grave of sovereign States. --N. O. Delta, May 5.
A thrilling scene is related of one of the Massachusetts men, who was mortally wounded at Baltimore by the mob on the afternoon of the fatal nineteenth of April. He soon bled to death, notwithstanding every effort was made to save him An instant before he expired he rose, struggling with death, and, standing erect, he fixed his glassy eyes upon every person in the room, and then lifting them towards heaven, and raising his right hand, he exclaimed, with clear voice, All hail to the Stars and Stripes!! Saying this, he fell back into the arms of his physician, and expired. This patriotic declaration of the dying man so thrilled the lookers-on, that all but his immediate attendants turned silently away, although many of them were stained with the blood of the deceased.--N. Y. Herald, May 5.
Old Virginia. Over vale and over mountain, Pealing forth in triumph strong, Comes a lofty swell of music, Old Virginia's greeting song. In the new-born arch of glory, Lo! she burns, the central star; Never shame shall blight its grandeur, Never cloud its radiance mar. “Old Virginia! Old Virginia!” Listen, Southrons, to the strain; “Old Virginia! Old Virginia!” Shout the rallying cry again! --N. O. Picayune, May 5<
