The Sword.
This is the time to print Thomas Francis
Meagher’s fine apostrophe to the sword.
There is not a word or a line in it that does
not apply with ten fold force to the present
struggle for liberty upon these shores:
Ido not abhor the use of arms in the
vindication of national rights. There are
limes when arms will alone suffice, and when
political ameliorations call for a drop of
blood, and many thousand drops of blood.
Opinion, I admit, will operate against
opinion. But, as the honorable member
for Kilkenny has observed, force must be
used against force. The soldier is proof
against an argument—but be is not proof
against a bullet. The mau that will listen
to reason, let him be reasoned with. But
it is the weaponed arm of the patriot that
can alone prevail against battalioned des
potism.
Then, my Lord, I do not condemn the use
of arms as immoral, nor do I conceive it
profane to say that the King of Heaven—
the Lord of Hosts—the God of Battles—
bestows his benediction upon those who un
sheath the sword in the hour of a nation’s
peril.
From that evening on which, in the val
tey of Bethulia, He nerved the arm of the
Jewish girl to smite the drunken tyrant in
his tent, down to this our day, in which He
has blessed the insurgent chivalry of the
Belgian priest, His Almighty hand hath
ever been stretched forth from His Throne
of Light to consecrate the flag of freedom
—to bless the patriot’s sword ! Be it in the
defence, or be it in the assertion of a people’s
liberty, I hail the sword as a sacred weapon;
and if, my Lord, it has sometimes taken the
shape of the serpent and reddened the shroud
of the oppressor with too deep a dye, like
the annointed rod of the High Priests, it
has at other times, and as often, blossomed
into celestial flowers to deck the freeman’s
brow.
Abhor the sword—stigmatize the sword?
No, my Lord, for, in the passes of the Tyrol,
it cut to pieces the banner of the Bavarian,
and, through those cragged passes, struck a
path to fame for the peasant insurrectionist
of lospruck!
Abhor the sword —stigmatize the sword?
No, my Lord, for, at its blow, a giant na
tion started from the waters of the Atlantic,
and, by its redeeming magic, and in the
quivering of its crimson light, the crippled
colony sprang into the attitude of a proud
republic—prosperous, limitless and invin
cible 1
Abhor the sword—stigmatize the sword?
No, my Lord, for it swept the Dutch
marauders out of the fme old towns o i
Belgium—scourged them back to their
own phlegmatic swamps—and knocked
their flag and sceptre, their laws and bay
onets, into the sluggish waters of the
Scheldt.
My Lord, I learned it was the right of a
nation to govern herselfa-not in this hall,
but upon the ramparts of Antwerp. This,
the first article of a nation’s creed, I learned
upon those ramparts, where freedom was
justly estimated, and the possession of the
precious gift was purchased by the effusion
of generous blood.
My Lord, 1 honor the Belgians, I admire
the Belgians, I love the Belgians, for their
enthusiasm, their courage, their success,
and I, for one, will not stigmatize, for I
do Dot abhor, the means by which they
obtained a citizen king, a chamber of dep
uties.
The Opium Shops of Java-
From Frazer's Magazine.
What spirituous liquors are for the Eu
ropean, opium is in Java for the Mahom
medan and Chinaman. A European of the
lower classes, may sit in his tap-room and
debase himself by his sottishne ss; but he
does it with an uproarious merriment
which would make one think he was really
happy, spite of the headaches and delirium
tremens he may know are in store for him.
But in an opium hell all is-as steady as the
grave. A murky lamp spreads a flickering
light through the low-roofed, suffocating
room in which are placed bale-bales or
rough wooden tables, covered with coarse
mattings, and divided into compartments by
means of bamboo-reed wainscotting. The
cp'.um smokers—men and women—lost to
every sense of modesty, throw themselves
languidly on the matting, and their heads
supported by a greasy cushion, prepare to
indalge in their darling vice.
A small burning lamp is placed upon the
table eo as to be easily reached by all the
degraded wretches who seek forgetfulness
or elysium in the fumes of opium. A pipe
of bamboo reed with a bowl at one end to
contain the opium, is generally made to do
service for two smokers. A piece ot opi
um, about the size of a pea, costs sixpence
(a day’s wages) but it is sufficient to lull by
its fumes the senses of the smoker. These
fumes they inhale deliberately, retaining
them in the mouth as loDg as they can, and
then allowing them gradually to exhale
through the nostrils. After two or three inha
lations however, the opium is consumed and,
the pipe falls from the hand of its victim,
At first the smokers talk to each other in
a whisper scarcely audible ; but they soon
become still as the dead. Their dull sunk
en eyes become bright and sparkling—their
hollow cheeks seem to assume a healthy
roundness—a gleom of satisfaction, nay of
ecstacy, lightens up their countenances as
they revel in imagination in those sensual
delights which are to constitute their Ma
hommedan paradise. Enervated, languid,
emaciated as they are in fact, they seem and
feel for the time regenerated ; and although
they lie there the shameless and impassive
slaves of senruality and lust, their senses
are evidently Bteeped in bliss. Aroused,
however, from their dreams and delusions—
the potency of the charm exhausted, driven
from their “ hell ” by its proprietor—-see
them next morniDg walking with faltering
6tep, eyes dull as lead, cheeks hollow as
coffins, to their work.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.
A Paducah Male Story;
The Paducah (Kentuoky) correspondent
of the Herald tells a good Btory, where na
tive wit and army discipline appear to good
advantage :
I heard a good story of two of our sol
diers, at Paducah, which will pay for its
spacce in repeating. When our troops first
received their teams they were troubled to
procure forage ; so the mules were turned
loose or tethered in the outskirts of the
town. Occasionally a few would be mibsing
until Uncle Sam found himself minus some
twenty five or thirty. Those which strayed
away were caught up by the rebel specu
lators and taken to Blan'dville, back of Co
lumbus, where they bad accumulated some
fifty stolen and purchased animals, which
were under five or six keepers. The two
privates mentioned, (members of the For
tieth Illinois Volunteer-,) hearing of the
whereabouts of the stock, asked General
Smith’s permission to attempt their recap
ture, which, with some misgivings, was
granted. The boys, dressed in the garb of
Kentucky farmers, went and surveyed the
field and fold, and set to work.
They had whisky with them—whisky
such as Kentucky rebels like to get drunk
on—good old Bourbon, and the first object
was to get them as comfortably tight a 3
possible, which was Dot long in being ac
complished. Then the boys went to the
mule yard, let down the bars, mounted two
of the best, without saddle or bridle, and
started far Paducah, the whole lot follow
ing at a breakneck pace, and braying in the
most diabolical chorus. The keepers were
not long in discovering the trick, and gave
chase as tar as they deemed it prudent to
ward our lines, but to no purpose ; and iB
good season Saturday afternoon the boys
made their appearauce at General Smith’s
headquarters to report, their faces beaming
with a glow of satisfaction hard to describe.
Their report was a condensation of Lacon
ism, so I will give the dialogue—
Gen. Smith —“Well, boys, what luck?’’
Soldier—“We got ’em, and more too.”
Gen. Smith —J‘How many did you get ?”
Soldier—“ Forty, I reckon; haint counted
’em.” i
Gen. Smith—“ But that is more than we
have lost. You didn’t steal any, I hope.”
Soldier—“ Steal! K’ristopher, steal 1 No,
sirree, but you see we didn’t have time to
put the bars up after we had got Uncle
Sam’s out, and the God damned things
would foller.”
Then the general drew on an elongated
countenance, and as sternly, as though he
had been a Judge, and was sentencing a
culprit to a lifetime of imprisonment, lec
tured the soldier roundly for using profane
language in the quarters and presence of a
general officer. The soldier took the lec
ture uneasily, twirliDg his hat nervously the
while, and when the General had “subsided”
apologized as follows:
“ You see, General, we have had to cuss
the God damned things all day to git ’em
into camp, and it’s mighty hard to quit off
all of a suddenly.”
Then the General’s rigidity relaxed; a
smile, or rather a laugh, came up from bis
heart, and tried to escape from the corners
of his mouth; but discipline is discipline
with an old officer, and it would not do to
allow such a breach of decorum to pass un
noticed; but in consideration of the recap
tured twenty-five mules, “ and more too,”
he did not inflict any severe castigation or
put them under arrest, but, thankiog them
tor the services rendered, dismissed them
with a caution to leave their profanity be
hind when they came again to headquarters,
and the boys left, declaring, as they closed
the door, that “such a pious old cuss hadn’t
any business to be around amongst sojers.”
The Blondin Mania.
From the London Correspondence N. Y.Post, Oct. 8.
The most notorious, and, indeed, I might
say, the most popular man in England just
now is Blondin, and he is generally consid
ered an American, hails from the United
States, makes great use of the American
flag (the good old stars and stripes, too,)
and is indelibly associated with Niagara
Falls. It is difficult to give you any idea
of th 3 extent of the Blondin excitement
here. The Sydenham Crystal Palace finds
iD Blondin’s rope walking feats its most
successful crowd drawing attraction ; and
the feats quite equal anything the agile
Frenchman ever attempted in America.
Of course, the solemn muffs who write for
the Times and Atheneeum become majesti
cally philosophical about it, alleging in
pompous phrases that the half unconscious
desire to see the rope dancer fall and break
his neck was the real cause of his success
in drawing crowds. This anecdote is told:
Not loDg ago his pole broke and he almost
fell; as soon as he recovered his equilibrium,
bis agent remarked to a spectator, “Ah ’ he
is safe; he never yet disappointed the pub
lic.” “He disappointed the public just this
moment,” was the reply. “How so?” “Why,
in not falling and breaking his skull.”
They have got Blondin actually done up
into moral books for children! Fact—no
exaggeration ! Blondin the rope dancer —
the solemn mufls call him “the mountebank”
—is worked up into moral studies for young
children ! For you must know that a new
kind of juvenile reading has been lately got
op here, in the form ot picture books, the
pictures being in several pieces or bits of
paper, to which is attached a slip of paper,
running down the back of the page and
6erviog as a pull. Thus, a man is depicted
chopping wood ; pull the slip of paper and
up goes his axe. He eats ; pull, and his
jaws wag. In this semi-toy style of book
is Blondin represented performing divers
feats on ropes, and under each picture are
serious remarks on the necessity of hard toil
and untiring diligence if small boys wish to
acquire excellence in any special walks of
life. Thus doth the busy little Blondin im
prove each shining hour—at once oflording
moral examples for infant minds, amusiDg
a gaping public and filling his own pockets.
Blondin is now preparing for a provin
cial tour, and the dead walls of half the
towns in southern England are magnificent
in huge red and yellow posters, represent
ing “Blondin’s great feat at Jones’ Wood,”
“ Blondin crossing Niagara,” in a great
variety of attitudes, portrait of Blondin as
a civilian, and a representation of Blondin
walking on a rope stretched from the top
of two tall church spires—something
which, in my opinion, is rather a play of
fancy than a reminiscence of a fact.
“ A Female Blondin” has also appeared,
and nightly ascends a rope, amid a blaze of
fireworks, at the Cremorne Gardens. I
have learned accidentally that the lady’s
name is Young—that she has long belong
ed to a circus company, but never attracted
any attention till she assumed the mystic
title of the “ Female Blondin.”
Rebel Account* of the Leesburg Affair.
EXTRAVAGANT official and unofficial
REPORTS OF THE FIGHT.
Washington, Oct. 26.—Richmond pa
pers of the 23d and 24th instant, received
here to day, are glowing with the accounts
of the bat.le near Leesburg on Monday
last.
The Examiner contains an official dis
patch from General J. E. Johnston, dated
“ Headquarters, Centreville, October 22,
1861,” and addressed to General Cooper,
Richmond, stating as follows :
Colonel Evans reports that he was engaged
most of the day yesterday with twelve regi
ments and live batteries of the enemy near the
Potomac. They had crossed under cover of
artillery fire. He drove .them back with a
heavy loss in killed, two hundred prisoners,
and six field pieces taken. He had four regi
ments and five guns.
The Examiner announces the death of
General Baker and the capture of Colonel
Cogswell and ten other officers, not naming
them. It further states that Colonel
Evans’ command were from Mississippi and
Virginia, the three Mississippi regiments
being commanded by Colonels Feather
stone, Burt and Barksdale.
Another dispatch, reported by the Ex
aminer to have been received at the War
Department at Richmond as late as ten
o’clock on Tuesday night, states the loss of
the Federate to have been in killed and
wounded about one thousand, with six hun
dred prisoners taken, and twelve hundred
stand of arms.
Still another dispatch to the Examiner ,
dated Manassas, October 22d, said to have
been written by Adjutant General Jordan,
states that General Evans, with twenty-five
hundred Confederates, engaged General
Stone, with ten thousand Federals, at Lees
burg, on Monday; that the battle lasted all
day, and the Confederates were victorious ;
that the Federal loss was four hundred in
killed and wonnded, five hundred and twen
ty taken prisoners, and three hundred Fed
erals were drowned while trying to recross
the Potomac. It is stated in the same dis
patch that the Confederates had three hun
dred killed and wounded.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 23d in
stant contains all the above, and the follow
ing in addition:
OFFICIAL.
Headquarters Army of Potomac, I
Centreville, Oct. 22—10:30 p. m. J
In addition concerning the victory of General
Evans, 1 have to report the capture of nearly
six hundred prisoners and twelve hundred
stand of arms. Their killed and wounded and
prisoners amount to between one thousand
and twelve hundred. The rout was total. The
fight was an infantry engagement exclusively.
The f orces engaged were the Eighth Virginia
and Seventeenth and Eighteenth Mississippi
regiments, the Thirteenth Mississippi being
held in reserve. No artillery was fired by us.
THOS. JORDAN,
Assistant Adjutant General.
A telegraphic dispatch to the Richmond
Dispatch , from Manassas, dated the afternoon
of the 22d, says :—“ The fight near Lees
burg was more serious than at first reported.
Five hundred and twenty federals were
brought to Sudley Church this evening.
Between four aDd five hundred of the enemy
were killed, and three hundred drowned in
the Potomac. The prisoners will be here
to morrow morniDg. Our loss is also heavy,
say three hundred killed and wounded.”
The Richmond Whig , of the 24th inst.,
glorifies Colonel Evans, “ who, on the day
of the battle, was made a General,” for
having “ achieved a victory with twenty
five hundred men against ten thousand
Federals.”
This is the style of lying the rebels adopt
to inspire their people. The article con
cludes as follows :
“ We are yet without the names of any
of the brave men who have fallen on our
side.”
The gentleman who brought the Rich
mond papers referred to above, states that
there were reports in Richmond on Wed
nesday, when he left, that several officers of
distinction had fallen in the battle of last
Monday, and that the total loss was much
greater than the Richmond papers an
nounce.
The Rebel Currency. —A letter in the
Washington Star, from Alexandria, Vir
ginia, says ol rebel cnrreDcy :
A Fairfax farmer came to town to day
to bay some flour and salt, with the follow
ing currency : Corporation ol Warrenton,
Virginia, 81 and 50 cent notes ; Town of
Leesburg, cent notes ; Manassas Gap
Railroad Company, 50 cent notes ; J. C.
Gunnell, of Fairfax, 25 cents ; City of

$1 ; Bank of Winchester, $1 ; City Bank
of Augusta, Georgia, #1 ; Bank of Rich

cents ; Corporation of Winchester, 50 cents,
Salt and flour could not be had for the
most ot it. This is but a small sample of
the issues of every bank, village, city or
town now in the Confederacy, When
redemption day comes there will be awful
times.
Stephen Cromwell, of Camden, Ohio,
