5. the Swamp Angel. The large Parrott gun used in bombarding Charleston from the marshes of James Island is called the Swamp Angel.--Soldier's Letter. Down in the land of rebel Dixie, Near to the hot-bed of treason, Five miles away from Charleston, Amid the sands of James Island, Swept by the tides of the ocean, Is the SwamCharleston, Amid the sands of James Island, Swept by the tides of the ocean, Is the Swamp Angel. Can parrot, With plumage as black as a raven, And scream unlike her tropical sisters'-- A hundred-pounder, with terrible voice!-- Be called bird or angel? She's for Freedom, And Uncle Sam! synonymous terms; An angel of vengeance and not of mercy, Come to execute wrath upon the city Whence sprang secession. At night this An empire proud for evermore-- And shut in the face of the North your door! Hear ye in the Angel the Northern call, Thundered on Sumter's broken wall, Echoed in Charleston's silent street, Shouted in Treason's proud retreat: “Freemen must share with you the land! Choose olive leaf — or blazing brand; Choose peaceful Commerce‘ fla<

Negro courage — an incident at Charleston.--The Newburgh Journal says that a private letter received from a member of the Tenth Legion, contains the following interesting passage: The Tenth Connecticut (white) and Fifty-fourth Massachusetts (black) were on picket. The rebels came down at daylight with five regiments of infantry, one of cavalry, and two pieces of artillery, attacking our whole picket-line simultaneously. The Tenth Connecticut being a small regiment, and somewhat detached from the rest of the line, gave way almost immediately, firing but very few shots. Not so, however, with the darkeys. They stood their ground and blazed away until almost surrounded. One company of them was completely cut off from the rest and surrounded by a rebel regiment formed in square. The poor niggers plainly heard the rebel colonel give the order, Take no prisoners! and well knowing that that was equivalent to Give no quarter, clubbed their muskets and make a desperate effort to

n Iliad in a nutshell, Macmillan's Magazine, August.] Thomas of Chelsea! I've dreamed such a dream! I've been reading that dialogue, more smart than grave, In which you've so settled the case, as you deem, Of North against South, and of Whip versus Slave. Excuse me — I wandered — I nodded — I dozed, And straight to your Eden of fetters I flew, And scenes I saw stranger than you'd have supposed; Bless your stars, brother Thomas, those scenes were not true! Yes, 'twas South-Carolina--'twas Charleston, no doubt-- But changed — why has quite from my memory slipped-- For the whites now were “hired,” as it straightway turned out, “For life,” by the blacks, to be labored and whipped. I've never been given, like you, to regard Men treated as beasts as a comical sight; In the case, as it had been, of blacks, it seemed hard, And as hard it seemed now that the niggers were white. But a negro, your namesake, was luckily by, And this sablest of sages, oh! how he did grin, As I uttered

Josiah Vavasseur & Co., of London, take credit to themselves, of course through the columns of the London Times, for providing the steel shot for the rebels by which the Keokuk was sunk. A statement published in England to the effect that practical artillerists have not been using spherical steel shot put this house of Vavasseur & Co. upon its defence, and as a proof that artillerists do use such implements of war, they say they have reason to believe that the same shot made by us (Vavasseur & Co.) were used by the confederates in the first attack of the monitors upon Charleston, in which action the Keokuk was so severely handled. Vavasseur & Co., like good neutral Englishmen as they are, rather pride themselves on the efficient aid thus rendered to the rebels.
