which every quest Proves false as 'tis ideal. A brotherhood, whose ties are chains, Which crushes while it holds, Like the old marble Laocoon Beneath its serpent folds. Rebels, against the malice vast, Malice, that nought disarms, Which fills the quiet of their homes With vague and dread alarms. Against th' invader's daring feet, Against the tide of wrong, Which has been borne, in silence borne, But borne perchance too long. They would be cowards, did they crouch Beneath the lifted hand, Whose very wave, ye seem to think, Will chill them where they stand. Yes, call them rebels! 'tis a name Which speaks of other days, Of gallant deeds, and gallant men, And wins them to their ways. Fair was the edifice they raised, Uplifting to the skies; A mighty Samson 'neath its dome In grand quiescence lies. Dare not to touch his noble limb, With thong or chain to bind, Lest ruin crush both you and him;-- This Samson is not blind! Natchitoches, May, 1861. --N. O. Picayune Supplement, May 26.

Washington, May 26.--The Fifth Massachusetts Regiment, Col. Lawrence, having received orders to march over the Long Bridge into Virginia on Saturday night, were filed out of the Treasury Building with astonishing promptness, when it was discovered that they had only their State color, not having received their national ensign. Immediately, several Massachusetts gentlemen--Hon. G. W. McClelland, A. W. Fletcher, Capt. Perkins, and J. Wesley Jones — begun a search for the Stars and Stripes under difficulties which were happily relieved by the kindness of Mr. J. D. Hammack, who very kindly consented to sell them a beautiful new cashmere flag, of the finest quality, which the ladies had made for his hotel. Securing a carriage, they overtook the regiment midway on the Long Bridge. Word having been passed along the line, the regiment was halted, and Col. Lawrence advanced to the carriage, doubtless expecting some change of orders. Judge of his surprise, when the committee stepped fo

New Haven, Conn., May 26.--Mr. S. M. Brooks, a Massachusetts gentleman well known to several of our citizens as a person of unquestioned veracity, arrived in this city on Saturday night, having escaped from Fort Moultrie in an open boat, and managed to get aboard a schooner which carried him to New York. He was the guest, here, of Mr. James C. Parker, auctioneer at No. 151 Congress Avenue. He states that he and his brother were impressed into the Confederate service, and were placed in Fort Moultrie, where they assisted in working the guns during the attack on Fort Sumter. He says that he will take a solemn oath that from six to seven hundred men were killed in that fort during the engagement! Ten days ago he saw a schooner in the offing, and, managing to steal a skiff, put for her. After he had got some distance from the Fort he was discovered, and five or six shots were fired at him, but he escaped to the schooner, and reached New York. The above statement may be relied o

ed by male voices. The effect produced by their clear, beautiful tones, was indescribable. The denizens of the Astor, who had laid themselves away for the night on couches of luxury, and — the poor mendicants, who had sought repose on the forsaken door-steps, were alike charmed from their resting-places to listen to this novel concert of the early morning hour. As the last strains of the melody died away in the distance, they, too, sent up their voices with the lusty cheers of the soldiers, who complimented the ladies with three-times-three and a tiger. It was a stirring scene, and one long to be remembered by those who witnessed it. At the conclusion of the singing, the gentlemen who accompanied the ladies stepped up to the palings, and furnished the soldiers with an abundant supply of cigars and tobacco. The company then took their departure as noiselessly as they had come, attended by the best wishes of the men they had so generously remembered.--N. Y. Sunday Mercury, May 26.
