to Northern hearts; our hard-earned homes more dear; But Freedom is beyond the price of any earthly cheer; And Freedom's flag is sacred ;--he who would work it harm, Let him, although a brother, beware our strong right arm! A brother! ah, the sorrow, the anguish of that word! The fratricidal strife begun, when shall its end be heard? Not this the boon that patriot hearts have prayed and waited for;-- We loved them, and we longed for peace: but they would have it war. Yes; war on this memorial day, the day of Lexington, A lightning-thrill along the wires from heart to heart has run. Brave men we gazed on yesterday, to-day for us have bled: Again is Massachusetts blood the first for freedom shed. To war — and with our brethren, then,--if only this can be! Life hangs as nothing in the scale against dear Liberty! Though hearts be torn asunder, we for Mother-Land will fight; Our blood may seal the victory, but God will shield the Right! Lucy Larcom, in the Boston Transcript, April 25

April 25.--Among the officers of the frigate Niagara who resigned at Boston, was first Lieutenant I. N. Brown, a Kentuckian. After resigning he took rooms at the Tremont House in Boston, and immediately got into hot water. The story is told as follows: Some excitement was created by two rumors--one of which was to the effect that he had purchased tickets over the Boston and Worcester Railroad for two slaves accompanying him, and the other, that the lieutenant had uttered treasonable sentiments in State-street. The first was unfounded, but it caused considerable excitement in the streets, and an excited mob rushed to the Worcester deot to prevent the slaves from being carried away. Others rushed to the State House to ask Governor Andrew to have Lieutenant Brown arrested, but they were unable to obtain an interview with his Excellency. While in State-street, Lieutenant Brown is charged with having stated that he was going to his plantation, and should fight for the, flag he

April 21.--A rumor having reached Virginia to the effect that Lieut.-Gen. Scott was about to resign his commission as General-in-Chief of the United States Army, Judge Robinson, an old personal friend and classmate of his, came to Washington, from Richmond, to offer him a commission as Commander-in-Chief of the forces of the Confederate States. On learning the purport of Judge R.'s errand, Gen. Scott interrupted him with a declaration that if he went any further in making such a proposition to him, he (Judge R.) would not be permitted to get back to Richmond; adding, that having sworn to support the Constitution of the United States, he realized all the honorable obligations of that oath, and should of course observe them.--N. Y. Times, April 25.

text that he could not resist the temptation to pull a nose that he could get hold of with both hands. It seems that Andy Johnson is such a miserable traitor, that an editor at Lynchburg could not resist the temptation to pull his proboscis. Our citizens heard yesterday, with every demonstration of delight, the indignity offered Gov. Johnson on his way from Washington to Greenville. His presence in Virginia was regarded as exceedingly offensive to Virginians. He was insulted at almost every depot. At Lynchburg his nose was most handsomely pulled, while he was hooted and groaned at by the large crowd. The traitor is meeting his reward. We have heard since, from good authority, that at Liberty, in Bedford county, Va., Johnson was taken from the cars, and a rope placed around his neck preliminary to a proposed hanging. Some old citizens of the county begged for him, saying that Tennessee would do for him what they proposed to do, and he was let off.--Memphis Avalanche, April 25.

Boston, April 25.--Touching incidents of the times are hourly becoming history. Humorous ones occasionally find a niche in which they are seen, and afford amusement, but none that are decidedly good should be overlooked. One good one that has reached our ears, we will give. One of the Justices of the Police Court, who has seen much service in our Volunteer Militia, was holding court a few days since, when a company of volunteers passed the Court House, marching to the immortal tune of theto their feet, responsive to the understood order of Forward, to the door! Running feet shuffled in the entry. Boom! boom! sounded the band. 0, long may it wave! screamed a patriotic urchin outside the window. First Regiment, take the witness stand! thundered the Court, which must have imagined itself on the green field at the head of its command. The outburst of laughter — unconsciously provoked — which succeeded, is yet going through the bar of the county.--Boston Traveller, April 25

When Major Anderson and his command passed out of the harbor on their way to join the fleet of the United States, the Marion Artillery, a company which, according to high military authority, contributed very materially to the reduction of Fort Sumter, in testimony of their appreciation of his gallant defense, formed on the beach and stood with uncovered heads until the Isabel had passed their position.--N. O. Delta, April 25.

Alexander McLenan, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who, with his two sons, have enlisted with the company for the term of twelve months, in the service of the Confederate States. In a speech made by him at Clayton, on their way to Columbus, he remarked that our cause was honored of God, and He would crown it with success. Mr. McLenan is upwards of sixty years of age, and the greater part of his manhood has been dedicated to the service of the ministry. Equality and justice to the South is a motto to which he has always been religiously devoted.--Columbus Sun, April 21.

The insane fury of New York arises from purely mercenary motives. She is concerned about the golden eggs which are laid for her by the Southern goose with the sword. Let us assure her we have more fear of her smiles than of her frowns.. New York will be remembered with especial hatred by the South to the end of time. Boston we have always known where to find; but this New York, which has never turned against us till the hour of trial, and is now moving heaven and earth for our destruction, shall be a marked city to the end of time.--Richmond Dispatch, April 25.
