we can load and fire! Let them charge with their Iron Devil, They never shall see our backs-- What, all afloat on our gun-deck? Aye, your sponges and rammers to the racks! Sinking, my hearts, at an anchor-- But never say die till it's o'er! Are you ready there on the spar-deck? We'll give them one round more. Ready all, or the spar-deck? Aye, my lads, we're going down-- She's heeling — but one more broadside For the Navy and its old renown! Hurrah! there go the splinters! Ha! they shall know us where we drown! Now one cheer more, my hearties, For the Flag and its brave renown! They shall hear it, the fine old captains, With Hull and Perry looking down. They're watching us, where we founder, With a tear on each tough old cheek-- Down she goes, our noble frigate, But the Old Flag's still at her peak! It waves o'er the blood-red water-- Lawrence sees it where it flies! And they look down, our grand old captains, With a tear and a smile from the skies. --Hartford Courant. H. H. B

pick up aught that might be afloat, And amongst other less precious spoil, Fished swordless Semmes from his watery coil! “Hide me!” the gallant cried in affright; “Cover me up from the Yankee's sight.” Heigh-ho! they laid him low, With a bit of sail to hide his woe. Safely they bore the chief aboard, Leaving behind his fame and sword; And then the Deerhound stole away, Lest Winslow's guns might have a say; Landed him in Southampton town, Where heroes like him have had renown, Ever since Lawrence, Perry, and Hull, Took hold of the horns of great John Bull. Had I been Winslow, I say to you, As the sea is green, the sky is blue, Through the Deerhound I'd have sent a shot, And John might have liked the thing or not I Heigh-ho! come soon or slow, In the end we are bound to have a blow. What said the Frenchman from his hill, After the cannon-shots were still? What said the Briton from his deck, Gazing down on the sunken wreck? Something was said of guns like mortars, And something of s

eople of Kansas and the troops under General Ewing's command. I have not the capacity to see the wisdom or justice of permitting an irresponsible mob to enter Missouri for the purpose of retaliation, even for so grievous a wrong as that which Lawrence has suffered. I have increased the force upon the border as far as possible, and no effort has been, or will be, spared to punish the invaders of Kansas, and to prevent such acts in the future. The force there has been all the time far largehings, that after the fearful disaster at Lawrence and on the return of our troops who had pursued Quantrill and his murderous band, General Ewing and General James H. Lane met at Morristown and spent the night together. The latter returned to Lawrence and called a mass meeting, at which he defended General Ewing and made an intensely bitter speech against you. Yesterday he arrived in this city, and soon after caused to be issued a placard stating he would address the citizens on war matters.

fficers were partaking of it, and having, as is usual, a merry time. Soon after I rode up, Miss King recognized Kuhn, who was with me, and sent Captain Wister, Francis Wister, captain 12th U. S. Infantry. of the regiment after him, and in a few minutes Colonel Van Rensselaer came up to me, and, after the usual salutations, politely asked me to permit him to present me to the party. Of course I had to say yes, and went up with him and joined the party. Mrs. Ricketts, you know, was a Miss Lawrence. I had known her mother and family all my life. She is now a great heroine. After doing the civil to the party I retired. Friday, March 28, 1862. I think I wrote you that on Tuesday we had a grand review of the whole of the First Army Corps. Yesterday we had another, for the benefit of Lord Lyons and some English officers, to which, although the generals of McCall's Division were invited to be present, the division did not appear.

and to enjoy the blessings offered by God to his obedient Saints. Taylor is no doubt right. The system of White polygamy, which droops and fades in presence of the Gentiles, springs and spreads in presence of the Snakes and Utes — a fact of facts: the full significance of which is hardly seen by Taylor and his brother Saints. No sooner was the railway built, the valley opened, and the stranger admitted, than a change of view set in. Some elders, including Godbe, Walker, Harrison, and Lawrence, began a new movement, favouring liberty of trade and leading up towards liberty of thought. They tried to bring in science, and to found a critical magazine. Stenhouse was of their party, though he had not yet seceded from his Church. Belief in polygamy as a divine institution was the first thing to go down. On turning to the original seer, these critics found good reason to conclude that plurality was one of the additions made by Brigham Young to the gospel taught by Joseph Smith. Sm

fe on earth, my queen in heaven, sighs Brigham Young. An old fellow, snaps the lady, dropping her jargon of celestial laws and everlasting covenants, he is forty-five years older than myself, and he has eighteen other wives to please. Her intercourse with Gentiles has dispelled the mystic halo which surrounds a prophet's tent. His harem is profaned, the mystery and sanctity of his life are gone. Other, and more serious losses, have fallen on the polygamous saints. Stenhouse, Godbe, Lawrence, Walker, Harrison, all the most liberal, prosperous, and enlightened members of their church, have either seceded or been expelled. Stenhouse has not only fallen from the ranks, but with his first wife, Sister Fanny, has taken service in the Gentile camp. When I was last in Zion, the Stenhouses, man and wife, were strict upholders of polygamy. The Elder had two wives living, Sister Fanny and Sister Belinda; besides his dead queen, Sister Carrie, who had been sealed to him for the ete

but without doubt had met him, and assured her that wherever Sam was, if in a Union prison he had enough to eat; a good bed and all the comforts of life, more than he would have at home. They questioned us about our Yankee women. They said they had heard that they wore good clothes and had jewelry; we told them they had been rightly informed, and they said, Why, you all have no slaves; where do they get them? Our answer was that our women worked. We told them of the mills in Lowell and Lawrence, of the shoe shops in Lynn, and other places where women were employed. Well, they said, we would like nice dresses and jewelry, but we could not work; no woman could be a lady and work. So those poor deluded creatures were happy in thinking they were ladies, while they wore dirty homespun dresses, ate hog and corn-bread, and smoked pipes in the chimney corner. When it came bedtime Frank and I were puzzled what to do. The rain came down in torrents and we had been so wet and cold, besi
