e could hardly be restrained from banding in thousands and tens of thousands, for the purpose of opening that way. Turn upon it the guns of Fort McHenry! cried one.--Lay it in ashes! cried another.--Fifty thousand men may be raised in an hour, exclaimed a third, to march through Baltimore. Bow down in haste thy guilty head! God's wrath is swift and sore: The sky with gathering bolts is red-- Cleanse from thy skirts the slaughter shed, Or make thyself an ashen bed, O Baltimore! wrote Bayard Taylor. And an active citizen of New York (George Law), in a letter to the President, in which he declared that the people of the Free-labor States demanded of the Government measures to open and establish lines of direct communication with the Capital, said: Unless this is done, they will be compelled to take the matter into their own hands, let the consequences be what they may, and let them fall where they will. The same sentiment animated the Government as soon as Railway Battery. it f

which battle they were engaged, and then marched with General McClellan to Antietam, where Colonel McNiel was killed. The Bucktails met with a severe loss at Fredericksburg, their casualties there amounting to 19 killed, 113 wounded, and 29 missing; total, 161. At Gettysburg the brigade, led by the gallant McCandless, rendered good service near Little Round Top. Colonel Taylor, who was killed there, was a brave officer and a gentleman of culture and accomplishments; he was a brother of Bayard Taylor. The Bucktails did good work under Grant at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, after which they were mustered out at Harrisburg, Pa., June 11 1864, their term of service having expired.

as you suggest. The letter I read in the speech which I made in Frederick, should be conclusive evidence that, at its date, Mr. Calhoun denied the right of secession, as a constitutional right, either express or implied. But, in addition to this, I had frequent opportunities of knowing that this was his opinion. It was my good fortune to be a member of the Senate of the United States, whilst he was one of its greatest ornaments, for four years, from 1845, until I became a member of Gen. Taylor's administration, and during two sessions (I think 1846 and 1847) I lived in the same house with him. He did me the honor to give me much of his confidence, and frequently his nullification doctrine was the subject of conversation. Time and time again have I heard him, and with ever increased surprise at his wonderful acuteness, defend it on Constitutional grounds, and distinguish it, in that respect, from the doctrine of Secession. This last he never, with me, placed on any other groun

altimore!” V. We had no arms; as friends we came, As brothers evermore, To rally round one sacred name, The charter of our power and fame: We never dreamed of guilt and shame In Baltimore. VI. The coward mob upon us fell: McHenry's flag they tore: Surprised, borne backward by the swell, Beat down with mad, inhuman yell, Before us yawned a traitorous hell In Baltimore? VII. The streets our soldier-fathers trod Blushed with their children's gore; We saw the craven rulers nod, And dip in blood the civic rod-- Shall such things be, O righteous God, In Baltimore? VIII. No, never! By that outrage black, A solemn oath we swore, To bring the Keystone's thousands back, Strike down the dastards who attack, And leave a red and fiery track Through Baltimore! IX. Bow down, in haste, thy guilty head! God's wrath is swift and sore: The sky with gathering bolts is red-- Cleanse from thy skirts the slaughter shed, Or make thyself an ashen bed-- Oh Baltimore!

g Post tells the following anecdote:--Three months ago I was returning from Washington, when Colonel Taylor, (brother of the late President Taylor,) who is now in the federal army, being on a visit toPresident Taylor,) who is now in the federal army, being on a visit to Newark, N. J., joined our party. Colonel Jeff. Davis, as is well known, ran away with General Taylor's daughter, and the families were intimate. Colonel Taylor had but a short time before held an aGeneral Taylor's daughter, and the families were intimate. Colonel Taylor had but a short time before held an after-dinner's conversation with Jefferson Davis, and while lamenting the approaching troubles, gave us an account of that conversation. The words of Colonel Taylor were nearly as follows: AfterColonel Taylor had but a short time before held an after-dinner's conversation with Jefferson Davis, and while lamenting the approaching troubles, gave us an account of that conversation. The words of Colonel Taylor were nearly as follows: After a free talk about our country's troubles, we sat still smoking for some time, when I said, Colonel, what a bad way we are in. Oh! yes, yes, replied Davis, with comparative indifference.

That late, in half-despair, I said: “The Nation's ancient life is dead; Her arm is weak, her blood is cold; She hugs the peace that gives her gold-- The shameful peace, that sees expire Each beacon-light of patriot fire, And makes her court a traitor's den” -- Forgive me this, my Countrymen! II. Oh, in your long forbearance grand, Slow to suspect the treason planned, Enduring wrong, yet hoping good For sake of olden brotherhood, How grander, how sublimer far, At the roused Eagle's call ye are, Leaping from slumber to the fight For Freedom and for Chartered Right! III. Throughout the land there goes a cry: A sudden splendor fills the sky; From every hill the banners burst, Like buds by April breezes nurst; In every hamlet, home, and mart, The fire-beat of a single heart Keeps time to strains whose pulses mix Our blood with that of Seventy-Six!

121. Scott and the veteran. by Bayard Taylor. I. An old and crippled veteran to the War Department came; He sought the Chief who led him on many a field of fame-- The Chief who shouted “Forward!” where'er his banner rose, And bore its stars in triumph behind the flying foes. II. “Have you forgotten, General,” the battered soldier cried, “The days of Eighteen Hundred Twelve, when I was at your side? Have you forgotten Johnson, that fought at Lundy's Lane? 'Tis true, I'm old and pensioned, but I want to fight again.” III. “Have I forgotten?” said the Chief; “my brave old soldier, No! And here's the hand I gave you then, and let it tell you so; But you have done your share, my friend; you're crippled, old, and gray, And we have need of younger arms and fresher blood to-day.” IV. “But, General,” cried the veteran, a flush upon his brow, ”The very men who fought with us, they say, are traitors now; They've torn the flag of Lundy's Lane — our old red, white, an
