dia, N. H., has all his sons-William C., David T., Richard E., and Henry C.--in the Federal army. Mr. Norton himself served in the war of 1812, and was on duty at Marblehead when the ship Constitution was chased into port by two British seventy-four gun ships. His father, Mr. Simon Norton, who was born at Chester, N. H., 1760, enlisted when fifteen years of age, and served throughout the Revolutionary War. He was in the battles at Bunker's Hill and at Bennington, and went South under General Washington. In 1775 and 1776 he was in Breed's regiment, under Capt. Emerson, of Candia. Henry C., the youngest son, seventeen years old, was in the battle of Bull Run under Colonel Marston, of the New Hampshire Second, and was there wounded by a rifle ball.

Washington and forwarded to the War Department, two revolvers, (Colt's Navy,) one pair of spurs, one opera-glass, one large bowie-knife, and one pocket compass.

ration, the following beautiful ode was chanted by a full choir: Hail, our country's natal morn! Hail, our spreading kindred born! Hail, thou banner, not yet torn! Waving o'er the free! While this day in festive throng, Millions swell the patriot's song, Shall we not the note prolong? Hallowed jubilee! Who would sever Freedom's shrine? Who would draw the invidious line? Though by birth one spot be mine, Dear is all the rest-- Dear to me the South's fair land; Dear the central mountain band, Dear New England's rocky strand, Dear the prairied West. By our altars pure and free, By our laws' deep-rooted tree, By the past's dread memory, By our Washington-- By our common kindred tongue! By our hopes-bright, buoyant, young, By the tie of country strong, We will still be one. Fathers! have ye bled in vain? Ages, must you droop again? Maker, shall we rashly stain, Blessings sent by Thee? No! receive our solemn vow, While before thy throne we bow, Ever to maintain as now, “Union--Liberty!

e, I see! The plume-crested horsemen I see, I see! Down mountain and valley the hosts are streaming, And shouting the battle-cry, “One and Free.” The Northmen are coming, &c. The peal of their bugles I hear, I hear! The clangor of trumpets I hear, I hear! The banners outflame like the blazing morn, O'er billows of bayonet, sword, and spear. The Northmen are coming, &c. With rattle of musket they come, they come! With thunder of cannon they come, they come! With tempest of fire, and storm of steel, To drive out the traitors from Freedom's home. The Northmen are coming, &c. The boom of their cannon is Tyranny's knell; Wherever they battle shall Liberty dwell; They fight for the holiest hope of man; They triumph with Washington, Bruce, and Tell. The Northmen are coming, &c. They come with the banners our sires unfurled, Unfurled for the exile, the bondman, the world; And Heaven shall speed their victorious march, Till Liberty's foes to the dust be hurled. The Northmen are coming,

The spirit of ‘76.--While the Senate of Maryland were in session in the State House at Annapolis, a number of soldiers entered the ante-room and inquired if the Senate Chamber was not the place where Gen. Washington once stood? An employee of the House answered that it was, and showed one of them as near as he could the spot where Washington stood when he resigned him commission. The young man reverently approached the spot, and standing for several minutes apparently fixed to the place, the Senate Chamber was not the place where Gen. Washington once stood? An employee of the House answered that it was, and showed one of them as near as he could the spot where Washington stood when he resigned him commission. The young man reverently approached the spot, and standing for several minutes apparently fixed to the place, hastily turned and left the chamber, exclaiming that he could stand it no longer, for he felt his Fourth of July rising too fast. --Baltimore American, Dec. 12.

the arrest of Messrs. Mason & Slidell, but from reasons unavoidable their publication has been delayed: 'Twas out upon mid-ocean that the San Jacinto hailed An English neutral vessel, while on her course she sailed; Then sent her traitor Fairfax, to board her with his crew, And beard the “British lion” with his “Yankee Doodle-doo.” The Yankees took her passengers, and put them on their ship, And swore that base secession could not give them the slip; But England says she'll have them, if Washington must fall, So Lincoln and his “nigger craft” must certainly “feel small.” Of all the “Yankee notions” that ever had their birth, The one of searching neutrals affords the greatest mirth-- To the Southrons; but the Yankees will ever hate the fame Which gave to Wilkes and Fairfax their never-dying name. Throughout the North their Captain Wilkes received his meed of praise, For doing — in these civilized — the deeds of darker days; But England's guns will thunder along the Y

Munchauseniana. Richmond, Nov. 4.--It is here currently reported that considerable commotion exists in Washington and in the free States from the rumored resignations of Generals Scott and McClellan, and of Secretaries Seward and Cameron, and of other prominent Federal officials. A general Kilkenny cat fight seems impending throughout Lincolndom. A special despatch to the Richmond Dispatch, dated Manassas to-day, announces that reliable information from Washington says there are but fifteen regiments of infantry, one light battery of six guns, and one thousand servants on board the Lincoln fleet. The Yankees have fallen back to their intrenchments. Southern merchants in Alexandria are forced to close their stores. There are said to be no more than eighty thousand men in and around Washington. A gentleman just arrived from Manassas says that the Baltimore Sun of Saturday reports the resignation of Seward, Blair, Cameron, Scott, and McClellan. The probable difficulty
