et with you and join in felicitating our noble tars officers and men, of the frigates Cumberland and Congress, but for my lameness and the fear that the excitement would be still more hurtful to me. Respectfully yours, Winfield Scott. He also read a letter from Capt. Radford, which contained at the close a complimentary mention of Lieut. Morris, who was in command when the Cumberland went down. Three cheers were given for Lieut. Morris. Miss Maria Brainerd sang a charming song — Viva l'america — which was very warmly applauded. A sailor of the Cumberland was then introduced. He said: My friends, the task that I have before me is at once painful and pleasant — painful when I think of my lost shipmates, and pleasant when I see so many smiling faces here. It is my task to detail as near as I can the engagement of our ship with the Merrimac. It was about eight o'clock on Saturday morning, the eighth day of March, when we first saw the Merrimac. We beat to quarters, and<

nowing that this life was only preliminary, and that she would not have wished to be judged by it after she had once entered on the life of action. The following pages will, I hope, be a more adequate record than has before been given of what she did for our dawning literature; but they yet leave room for a book by some other hand that shall fully delineate the Margaret Fuller Ossoli who stood by the side of Mazzini in Italy, and whose hands the young patriots clasped in the hospital crying, Viva l'italia as they died. At the very moment when Lowell was satirizing her in his Fable for critics, she was leading such a life as no American woman had led in this century before. During our own civil war many women afterwards led it, and found out for themselves what it was; but by that time Margaret Fuller Ossoli had passed away. Still, as I said, I must now make that part of her record secondary and dwell chiefly on its intellectual side; only keeping before my readers the fact that

ms, only to see them all lopped and gashed. You say, I sustained them; often have they sustained my courage: one, kissing the pieces of bone that were so painfully extracted from his arm, hanging them round his neck to be worn as the true relics of to-day; mementoes that he also had done and borne something for his country and the hopes of humanity. One fair young man, who is made a cripple for life, clasped my hand as he saw me crying over the spasms I could not relieve, and faintly cried, Viva l'italia. Think only, cara bona donna, said a poor wounded soldier, that I can always wear my uniform on festas, just as it is now, with the holes where the balls went through, for a memory. God is good; God knows, they often said to me, when I had not a word to cheer them. The wife and mother. The first part of this chapter is edited by B. W. E.; the remainder by W. H. C.

C., for two years and then spent one year at Chapel Hill, N. C. He commenced farming in Sumter county, and was thus engaged when the war broke out. He was married in June, 1865, to Miss Lizzie Rhodes, of Sumter county, S. C., who died in 1885, leaving seven children: Louise L., now Mrs. L. L. Corbett, of Mayesville; Bessie S., Janie, Viva, now Mrs. R. J. Mayes, of Mayesville; William M., now being educated for the medical profession; Mary D., and Daisy.

s prescribed to protect it should not be made instruments to defeat it, and where there is legal evidence that it has been exercised in a particular mode, it will not be defeated, because all the evidence possible has not been furnished to prove it. In the case stated in your question, the Commissioners certify, that a certain number of votes were cast for the Electors — that a portion of them were cast without tickets. Still they were cast; and so the Commissioners certify. How cast? Viva voce, it is to be presumed; and the evidence of the fact must have been furnished by the record on the poll books, from which the Commissioners are required by law to make their return. Why, then, should the votes be rejected? Not because they were not given, for the Commissioners certify they were; nor because there was no legal evidence of it, for we must presume from the certificates the legal evidence was on the poll book. The only reason for rejection must be, because there were no ti

The attempt to Assassinate Marshal O'Donnell. --Marshal O'Donnell, or rather the Duke of Tetuan, as he is known since the recent war in Africa, was nearly assassinated in Madrid, on the 7th of December. A Madrid paper of the 8th says: Yesterday evening, at six o'clock, as the Duke of Tetuan was leaving the Senate, a bystander, wrapped in a cloak, approached him, and presenting a pistol, fired at him, saying, "Die, traitor!" A short-hand writer present, who was also a physician, at once examined the General's wound, and found that it was very slight. On feeling himself wounded, the Duke exclaimed, "Neither the African balls nor those of Madrid can hurt me!" When the event became known, the English and French ministers, and other members of the diplomatic body, and a great many members of the two Chambers, waited on the Marshal to congratulate him. The assassin, after firing, ran off, crying, "Viva la Reina!" but was pursued and captured.

espects himself — for him who feels himself at the level of that high destiny which Providence has reserved for Italy and nor Capital — for him, the ancient Forum of Rome and every other spot where linger the memories of our ancient glory, offer pleasures worthy of his acceptance. There, remembering how grandeur the achievements of our forefathers, the true citizen of Rome will rejoice, for he will find there the promise of our approaching resurrection after so many centuries of misfortune. Viva il Pontefice non Be! Viva Vittorio Emanuile Re d'italia! "The class of people composing the vast multitude was very remarkable. Not for a moment could it have been called 'a mob.' The members of that respectable fraternity were all in the Corso. Here in the Forum were men, all of them decently dressed, most of them as became well-to-do bourgeoise, professional men and artizans, in Sunday attire. About one-fourth or fifth were ladies in carriages, or respectable women walking with th

The Polish insurrection — barbarous doings — an Incident. From the Paris correspondence of the New York World we make the following extracts: Subscriptions for aid to the wounded Foles pour in at the offices of the several journals where persons are authorized to receive them. Cries of "Viva la Pologus" are to be heard in the theatres and cafes, and in the Quartier Latin (the students' quarter) the enthusiasm is unbounded. Bands of young Poles leave Paris daily to join their countrymen in their struggle for life and for independence. A touching instance of heroic patriotism is related of a young man of 22, who presented himself to be inscribed on the list of those who were about to leave to devote themselves to their country. This young man had been sent here to be put under the charge of a surgeon for the cure of a lameness brought on by a scrofulous affection. When he presented himself as a candidate his friends endeavored to dissuade him from going, telling h

r the Deerhound to overhaul her, and thus Semmes escaped being made prisoner. Semmes's Speech to his crew. [Paris (June 21) correspondence London Post.] As Captain Semmes is in England, you will get better accounts of the combat than reach us in Paris. A French account says that before leaving Cherbourg he called his men, and addressing them, exclaimed--"We must conquer or die!" To which the crew replied (I give the words in French): "Hurrah pour le Sud! Vive Lee! Vive son armee! Viva la France! la nation genereuse qui seule partique d'une manfere impartiale la neutralite!" Scene at the Hauling down of the Confederate flag. [From the London Star (special report), June 21.] Captain Semmes directed the First Lieutenant, Mr. Kell, to go below and report the state of the ship. That officer soon returned, saying she was in a sinking state, and the Captain decided on striking his flag. The flag had been already three times shot away, but replaced. A large number of
