J. B. Jones, A Rebel War Clerk's Diary, chapter 27 (search)
g scenes among the horrors of war, as the following, taken from a paper to-day, shows: Taking the oath under protest. A few weeks ago a laughable incident occurred in the neighborhood of Nashville, which ig worthy of record. A saucy, dashing young girl, of the Southern persuasion, was, with a number of other ladies, brought into the presence of Gen. Rosecrans, in order that their Southern ardor might be checked by the administration of the oath of loyalty. The bold, bright-eyed Juno in question, objected to take the oath, saying that her mother had taught her that it was unladylike to swear; her sense of morality forbid her to swear, and swear she could and would not. The officer insisted that the lady must take an oath before she left his presence. Well, general, said bright eyes, if I must swear, I will; but all sins of the oath must rest on your shoulders, for I swear on your compulsion: “G-d d — m every Yankee to h-ll!” And the defiant beauty tossed her dark<

The Albert Pike who led the Aboriginal Corps of Tomahawkers and Scalpers at the battle of Pea Ridge, formerly kept school in Fairhaven, Mass., where he was indicted for playing the part of Squeers, and cruelly beating and starving a boy in his family. He escaped by some hocus-pocus of law, and emigrated to the West, where the violence of his nature has been admirably enhanced. As his name indicates, he is a ferocious fish, and has fought duels enough to qualify himself to be a leader of savages. We suppose that upon the recent occasion, he got himself up in good style, war-paint, nose-ring, and all. This new Pontiac is also a poet, and wrote Hymns to the Gods in Blackwood; but he has left Jupiter, Juno, and the rest, and betaken himself to the culture of the Great Spirit, or rather of two great spirits, whisky being the second. New-York Tribune, March 27.

t of the utmost importance to the defence of the works at the entrance of the harbor that some effort should be made to sink either the Ironsides or one of the monitors now attacking the works on Morris Island, not only because of the diminution thus effected in the enemy's means of offence, but because of the great moral effect that would inevitably result from such an occurrence. The stake is manifestly a great one, worthy of a small risk. For its accomplishment, one vessel, such as the Juno, provided with the spar-torpedo, with two or three officers and a few men, it is believed, would be as effective, at night, for the end in view as a flotilla of vessels, so arranged, of the same class. If, however, the results of your experiments are sufficiently adverse to the prospect of success with the contrivance, I must beg to be advised of the fact, to the end that I may not permit the expectation of assistance to enter further into my plans of defence; but if, on the other hand, th

General desires you to confer with Captain Tucker, and determine what arrangement may be best to carry on and protect our communications with Sumter and Sullivan's Island. He thinks that two or more launches, with howitzers, the torpedo-ram, and Juno, should be used exclusively for that purpose. Captain Haskell's launch, the one captured by the Juno, and others, might be fitted up at once for the police of the harbor, and to protect Captain Gray in putting down torpedoes in the outside chanJuno, and others, might be fitted up at once for the police of the harbor, and to protect Captain Gray in putting down torpedoes in the outside channel. You will please give your immediate attention to the organization of the water transportation and harbor police, and ascertain from Captain Tucker how far he may be able to assist, or whether he would prefer superintending the organization himself. Of course the two—transportation and harbor police—should be under the control of the same head. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Thomas Jordan, Chief of Staff. Headquarters, Department S.

st Mil. Dist., Charleston, S. C.: General,—In consequence of the revelations of the United States gunboat Ottowa's mail-bag it behooves us to be on the alert, and to be prepared for another such attempt as that which was made by Admiral Dahlgren oh the 26th inst. (Wednesday night) to pass the obstructions and force his way into this harbor. The Commanding General has addressed Flag-officer Tucker on the subject, and he also desires you to see and arrange with that officer for a guardboat (Juno, if possible), which shall be so placed at night as to secure timely information of an advance of the enemy. He thinks that vessels prepared with light wood or resin should likewise be moored at proper points at night, to be set on fire and light up the harbor. All the batteries on either side of the channel should be placed in condition, and held ready for immediate service. He further wishes those guns (10-inch and the Brooke piece) for Battery Wampler placed in condition for service

iety of cymbals played with the finger and thumb resemble castanets in the mode of using to beat the measure of the dance. They are shown in the paintings of Herculaneum, and were sometimes attached to the ankles of the flute-players. See castanets. Cymbals are also represented in the sculptures of Nimroud. The cymbals were used in religious and patriotic observances by the Egyptians, Assyrians, Jews, Etrurians, Greeks, and Romans; by the Greeks in the worship of Cybele, Bacchus, and Juno; indeed, Xenophon says that the cymbal was invented by Cybele, and used at her feasts, at a period corresponding to our date of 1580 B. C. The origin of the cymbal was evidently heroic; swords and shields being clashed in the warlike dances of the semi-barbarous people of the countries bordering on the Mediterranean. In a Persian dance of the times of Cyrus and Cambyses, the movements were performed to the music of the flute, the performers dashing their crescent-shaped shields together

ur walking in the garden avenue, between the tall white lilies and Ellen's apple-tree; she was a lovely child then, and happy, but my heart ached, and I lived in just the way I do now. Father said, seeing me at a distance, Incedo regina, etc. Poor Juno! Father admired me, and, though he caused me so much suffering, had a true sense at times of what is tragic for me. The other day, when C-was cutting a lock of my hair for one who so little knows how to value it, I thought of my finding it in Fations to a clear view of what you were. I am glad you were withdrawn from a world which had grown so bitter to you; but I wish we might reach you with our gentle thoughts. Ms. Diary, 1844. Mr. Fuller's reference was to Virgil's description of Juno, Ast ego que divum incedo regina. Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is now a city of 52,000 inhabitants, had, at the time of Margaret Fuller's birth, but 2,323.

nature; but here I confess myself distanced, even in fancy. On the other hand, what a dull and unprofitable book is the Letters of Daniel Webster ; no genius or power in it, or charm of any kind except the letters to his farmers, which are quite delightful. Perhaps his letters about and to his children, especially to the stareyed Julia, show more domestic feeling than I supposed; there is one quite beautiful burst of fatherly pride where he describes her to somebody as being beautiful as Juno. But he shows beyond all question that shallowness of knowledge which Theodore Parker attributed to him, and everything in the shape of thought is amazingly commonplace. ... Mary . . . has been reflecting to-day that there's no telling what might have been; for instance, she might have been the wife of Dr. Kane; and what would he have done with her in the Arctic regions? That's the present anxiety. I am giving Sunday evening lectures on the Seven Deadly Sins, or, as Mary irreveren

Afterward the nurse came in, I gave her 18d., having no other small bill. . . . Madam seem'd to harp on the same string. Must take caree already. Offer'd me no wine that I remember. I rose up at 11 o'clock to come away, saying I would put on my coat, she offer'd not to help me. I pray'd her that Juno might light me home, she open'd the shutter, and said 'twas pretty light abroad; Juno was weary and gone to bed. So I came home by starlight as well as I could. Juno was weary and gone to bed. So I came home by starlight as well as I could. October 24. ...
