To the Patrons of the Rutland Herald.
1' JANDABT 1861.
.5$ wish tod Happy New V kab, all, .-
rtj now i make my Annual call, j
To tell yoa. as before, in rhyme. '
The latest deeds of Father Time.
The world at laree in usual Dlierht .
Most everybody in lor,fieht :
Cruel and desolating war :
Swift Revolution's endless iar :
Great Garibaldi ! noblest man
Of all who march in Freedom 'rffan :
Napole&n writiwao-tiie Bope :
The latter alrttCsTvoid of hone
A visit from the Japanese,
With presents, two or thfiw Pav .
A Prince out calling, whom; no doubt,
His Ma permitted to be out :
A. Mammoth Ship ! what monstrous thing
All England rushing to the Ring !
Disaster, holding in its hand
Its deadly Scourge o'er Sea and Land :
The uspi-i sr-nes in Congress Halls
Disputes anu Challenges and Brawls :
Ccnventions noisvwith debatpa
O'er various rival candidates :
The People moving with a will
The Presidential Chair to fill :
Freedom's proud Triumph? surging on
From way " Down E-wt J to Oregon :
Secession with its noisy mouth :
Disunion movement at the South :
All this, and more, 'tis mine, to-day.
i o ten you in my rnyming way.
I.
Old Sixty ! few have been thy Peers
1 I . . . - : i. . it i t - v
'u"K iKiiieeu uuuurea oixty xears;
For thou hast won a splendid name.
High up upon the Scroll of Fame.
Thy deeds will never be forgot,
E'en when old Father Time is not.
Glad Italy shall speak thy praise
As she her Triumph song shall raise ;
And Freedom, in this goodly land,
Shall sing this Pean, proud and erand
jyovemonr triumphed oer my foes
" When Hixtu't Sun Victorious Rot
n.
" War ! tcr thou hringest, stranger land !
" For war thy steeds alt ready stand !"
So cried the Hero as he gazed
And saw four milkwLite steeds that grazed
Upon the oft receding shore
Dear Latium, promised lonir before.
So cries the News Boy, as to-day
lie treads his earth eneiroimg way,
And duds the Nations ill at ease,
At home and far beyond the seas.
" Yet there is hope of Peace !"' he cried :
" These steeds, accustomed, side by side.
" To champ the bit and draw the car.
' May au.ur Peace instead of War."
And so aain the lew-lioy cries
Though dark may be the threatening skies.
The Future soon may brinir release,
And usher in the Prince of Peace.
O, Syria ! terrible the fight
'Twixt savage Druse and Maronite!
No thought too dire, no deed too rash,
W hen Christian swords in battle clash :
No blood too pore when holy zeal
Directs the arm and drives the steel.
How r.ll our hearts with horror quail
At thoughts of helpless orphan's wail ;
Of widow's tears, of Want and Woe,
Which through that land untrammeled go !
Yet God is working oat His Plan
Of Everlasting Good to Man ;
And ere we half discern His wavs
He turn the wrath ot man to Praise.
China dislikes to stay sulxlued,
So England has her task renewed,
To reaoh those Oriental hearts,
And introduce the Useful Arts ;
Free Trade, Religion, and the rest,
Which cannot fail to make them blest,
bbe loves them much, has loved them long;
She Iovm their tpa U. -
And with strong faith for them has prayed,
And shown hertaith by canaon-aid.
Dear Italy ! I bless the year
That made thee happier and freer.
Rejoicing land! give God the praise,
That He at last was pleased to raise
A hero competent to see
That thou wast ready to be tree!
Great Garibaldi ! most Divine.
Thosa aiKsrhuman feats of thine,
Swift flew thy bands from shore to shore ;
The fight beyun, the battle o'er;
The victory won, the foe men fled ;
The crown torn off from Tyrant's head ;
Palermo down, success attained ;
The Sicilies to Freedom gained ;
All done, while all the world, amazed,
In silence stood, in silence gazed.
Quickly thou fliest o'er the sea,
Another city soon to free
From kingly rule, from Bourbon sway,
Though Naples sat so firm at Bay.
Thou earnest in thy crushing might,
For God is on tbe side of Right
The Bourbon fled, and thou alone
Wast sole Dictator on his throne.
'Twas then the people thought it well
To choose, as King, Emanuel ;
That North and South in league might be
From Bourbon away forever Iree.
'Twas then we saw thee yield thy choice,
Obedient trthe people's voice,
And all the Nations said , u'Tis well!"
When thou didst vote, " Emancel .'"
And when the King his march began,
His fast expanding realm to scan,
Thou wentest, as for thee was meet,
To lay thy Conquests at his feet :
" O Victor King ! I give to thee
" The Cities 1 have helped to free
" Palermo, with its sea-girt Isle :
" Fair Naples, stretching many a mile :
" Sweet villages and hamlets bright,
" Which all along have met thy sight :
" And People, who, with loyal Toice,
" Have named thee as their princely choice.
" On plain Caprera let me live,
And to my farm my leisure give ;
" Since, if it please thee, Vict r lord,
" My laland Home is full reward.
" But shotildst thou need my sunburnt hand.
" Ag8in I'll call my willing band ;
" And God shall guide my conquering way,
"And Kings shall flee, and thrones decay."
Great Garibaldi ! History's page
Makes thee the Hero of the Age.
The Candle Maker in oar land :
Tbe Alpine Hunter, gun in hand :
Soldier, of magic word and deed :
Dictator sole of millions freed :
A King t ah no I for thou woqldst be
Caprera's Farmer, plain and free.
Another Cincinnatas, thou,
With nought that pleasetb like the plow :
A Diocletian, who resigns
The Crown of Rome to train his vines :
Servant most true, Well Done, Well Done I
God Bless thee , Second Washington !
III.
Napoleon plays his nsual part,
But not with all his nsnal art.
He don't know what to do, and hence, . ,
Like some Old Whigs, is " on the fence."
He writes a letter to the Pope
One page of threats and one of hope ;
Since, if he should with Pius side,
Italians would suspect he tied
At Villafranca. when ho made
That peace, and promised timely aid.
But if for Freedom he declare,
The Pope I will not say would swear ;
For that his righteous soul would ve x ;
Yet he, no doubt, would quickly ex
communicate him, since his word
Would thereby prove how strange ! absurd.
Napoleon ! hard it is for you
nauii a nalJr-Kfuyt "'
All Italy becoming Free ;
Since all such bold advances tend
To hurry on your tragic end.
The Pope ia in a sorry plight,
And daily meditates s flight,
Since e'en Napoleon's arm can't save
The Pius from an impious grave.
Not long ago a Bull he burled
To excommunicate the world ;
And later still at Warsaw met
A Royal Conference, to beget f
Some potent plan to save his head,
And hinder Freedom's onward tread.
But, all in rain ; the day draws nigh :
Afar rings out tha Battle -Cry
faith, JJope and Love ike Strife must win.
And down must come the Man of Sin I
; IV.
Brave Perry, most sagacious man,
First oped the portals of Japan ;
And paved the way for mutual trade,
For calls, dispatches, and parade.
And so some fifty Japanese
Put on their best, obtain release
From borne awhile, and take a trip
In Uncle Sam's free gratis ship.
At Washington they soon arrive
These Orientals, all olivet
And then begins an endless round
Of Ceremonies , quite profound :
A call upon the President, .
With Presents which the Tycoon sent :
A gathering in the great East Room
Officials in cockade and plume :
Envoys and Ministe.ra nf Stat.
The Captain and his wife his Mate :
Of course a body of Police :
The Japanese: Buchanan's Niece:
Th Oahinfttjtnd President!
And all, on tiptoe, stand intent,
While messages are quick exchanged ,
And divers toilets disarranged.
A visit next to Congress Halls,
To see the sights I mean, the Brawls,
And learn the practice of the most
Enlightened Council Earth can boast.
The next, a trip, all nicely planned,
To various cities of the land :
And one, which they must never miss
Our, world -renowned Metropolis.
The Metropolitan Hotel
Engages to supply them well.
And soon displays its well known skill
At getting up tall fare and bill
A Ball succeeds a grand display
Of everything in Fashion's way,
To fill the strangers with surprise,
And show where 'tis our greatness lies !
But soon the primal Call is o'er.
Powhatan's waiting near the shore :
On board they hurry, glad to be
From grand Parades and Dances free ;
From Pageants which so much annoy :
And all but " Tommy" shout for joy.
i be visit ot tbe Japaneso
Will probably "conduce to peace,"
Though they will doubtless make report
That Dancing is our strongest fort(e).
They saw the cheese, but not tbe cow :
The beans and corn, but not the plow ;
They saw nice watches, well displayed,
nut never learned how they were made.
Tbey tested sheeting, several ply.
But did not see the shuttles fly.
They saw stone fronts, put up with skill, """i.
But never heard the workman's drilL
They ate rare products of the land,
Bur never grasped the sunburnt hand ;
Nor even marked a single thing,
Like hammer's U'p, or anvil's ring,
Which might assist them e'en to guess
The secret of our rare success.
V.
In spite of our disloyal tricks
In Seventeen Hundred Seventy-Six,
Old England does the generous thing.
And lets c see her future King;
Who bravely weather wind and tide,
To see his Subjects oa this side.
The Can ad a3 are in a blaze.
Resolved, in divers loyal ways,
Their zeal and love to manifest
To Albert Edward, Princely Gaest.
Processions, Balls, and other things
Which are agreeable to Kings :
Hazzas and Prayers, with now and then
Anathemas from Orange men.
Briefly tbe Prince his Realm surveys ;
Tbe crowning stone he firmly lays
In Ma's big Bridge, and thas makes stout
A structure which had else " gin out."
In keeping with his Ma i design
He makes a trip across the line :
Not now a Prince as when he came,
Bat Baron Renfrew is the name
His mother told him he roust wear
As soon its he was " over there."
Along his coarse the masses crowd,
And bid him " Welcome!" long and loud.
OJ course he goes to Washington,
And divers mighty things are done,
To show how Uncle Sam has grown.
Since he aspired to go a Loan.
New York in turn receives a call,
And treats him to a Princely Ball :
1 oo close a jam to cat a dash,
And so they substitute a Smash.
Nice toilets are in great demand,
To charm the Prince and gain his hand ;
And, that secured, to help, in part,
Bat sad is many a dame, who fails.
Of dancing with the Prince of Wales ;
Aud yet some slight relief tbey find
la touching him his back behind.
The Ball is o'er, the calling done ,
Afar booms out the parting gun ;
And millions, as away he sails,
Heap Blessings on the Prince of Wales.
The Prince behaved extremely well ;
With no attempt at noise nor swell
He answered questions when he chose,
And asked them, as the story goes.
A lady, noted for her wealth,
Inquires: " Pray, how's your Mo her's AWMf"
lie answers : " I presume she a well.
"But cannot positively tell."
He next inquires of her like this :
" Is my mustache becothing, Miss ?"
" It maybe coming," Miss replies,
" Like other blessings, it disguts.
VI.
That Great Big Ship got round at last,
And on our shores her anchor cast.
With seeing most were satisfied,
But some thought best to take a ride ;
Yet I suspect they rue the day
That they went riding round Cape May.
What's all the mighty rush about ?
The Englishmen have all turned out
Yeomen of every rank aud grade,
Profession, calling, craft or trade :
Both old and young, both great and small,
Reporters, Clergy, Bench and all ;
And Uncle Sam has gone to sea !
Pray tell, what can the matter be 1
Aha! it's whispered, round about,
That two well looking men and stout,
T ruined to the anvil and the spade,
And in their Maker's image made,
Propose to deal some earnest blows
Directly at each other's nose :
And he who ca n the other smelt
Shall carry off the Champion's Belt !
So Judges, in both Church and State,
Interpret all the omens late ;
And rather than not see the sport,
They forfeit goodly fee at court.
The blows are dealt, the smelting o'er,
And noses both are rather sore :
Two worthy men are much disgraced,
And faces too are quite defaced :
The papers praise, and men applaud ,
And Sayers and Heenan walk abroad,
As Champions, worthy of a place
Beside the nob'est of their race.
O, Satan ! how tby heart rejoiced,
And Pandemonium, many-voiced,
Approved the deed that men had done.
And sang the inumpn tnoa naast won!
VII.
Disaster deals its yearly blow,
And Death strikes down both high and low.
O, Lawrence I terrible that Fall
Which spread in every house a pall I
How dear the penalty we pay
Where Sham and Carelessness bear sway.
The Sea, at times so calm and fair,
Has swallowed np its usual share .
The strong Hungarian proved too frail
To weather out old Ocean's gale.
With living freight it went below,
Where Sea nymphs sport and corals grow.
Good Lady Elgin ! many a tear
Milwankie sheds around thy bier !
The Luna, fonndering in the sorge ;
The Steamer Connaught's fiery scourge;
All serve, in burning words, to tell
Why countless hearts with sorrow swell.
Good Peter Parley sweetly sleeps,
And every Household sadly keeps
Its vigils round his ashes dear,
Recounting all his words of cheer ;
While myriad childish voices raise
Sincere Te Deams to bis praise.
The Painter Rembrandt Peale.has gone ,
Wp hoDe. where manv a fairer lawn
. ... i.. .. ...w uv uia eyes,
Than e'er he sketched beneath the skies.
Parker, the man of boundless lore,
Who mastered volumes by the score :
The man of wondrous power ; the host :
The worker, ever at bis post :
Tbe thinker, in whose giant mind
Thought ever could a welcome find :
The man who never shunned to speak
'Gainst Christian, Statesman, Jew or Greek :
The man whose creed was not of Fear :
Whose words seemed ever roost sincere :
Parker in distant Florence sleeps ;
Italian soil bis ashes keeps :
All done with earthly cares and creeds,
And blest, according to his deeds.
VIIL
Shoemakers, never first nor " fast,"
AH set a striking at the last
And while they're in striking way
They "strike for good or tetter pay.
Post Master Fowler robs the Mail,
And Uncle Sam is on his trail :
But he by male attains the coast,
And sails, post-haste, aa Mr. Post.
The Tract Society, so smart,
Checks all Diacussion at the start
Bv one of itfsDeculiar turns
Just makes a motion and adjourns.
RUTLAND, .-THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY
Walker 'the Gmv vpi. a
t ohs good deed beneath the sun :
At noonday once, and not in dark.
He makes a most distinguished m irk.
Kansas! tby tears forever flow.
And more than full, thy cop of woe!
A burning sun has scorched thy plains, !
And Want In all thy dwellings reigns !
Murder, with fast increasing pace,
Makes havoc with the Ik man ItaiA
Though Hicks and Harden have free scope
To rival Blondin on the rope. ; j
IX.
In Congress all the nsual moves
Are made, as my rehearsal proves.
The Journal of the House is brief
" No Speaker yet 1" on every leaf;
But after Democrats have soent I
Two months, their boiling wrath to veiiti,
Republicans the Chair secure,
Ana make iovembers Triumph sure.
Meanwhile the Senate sets abont
Some plan to find the traitors out;
If possible to hunt them down
And hang them up beside John Brown.
And so tor witnesses they go
r rom uanaua to Mexico.
Some incidents are rather rare
One Hyatt does n't like to smear f
-I
His conscientious whims prevail, !
And lead him captive, off to jail.
Next, after Gerrit Smith they turn,
But Mason is much grieved to learn
That Smith's insane ! so now, at best,
A rabid Abolitionist.
So said Committee spent its strength,
To make two full Reports at length :
One showing things in statu quo :
The other well, about so so.
The House proposes to find out
What one J. B. has been about :
With others who have held the purse.
And been commissioned to disburse.
Investigation quickly shows,
As Saxe says, " How the money goes."
The Fresident is much d:stressed,
And even ventures to protest !
I'ut Hickman hurls a missile back,
Which floors the whole protesting pack.
The House approves the righteous blow,
As Yeas and Nays directly show.
Bat Edmondson, of logic short,
Atteir pts a chivalric retort.
As, finding Hickman in a lane,
He quick rebuts him with shy cane. ,
Lovejoy, with burning words, excites
The Champions of Southern Rights j
And Pryor to the rescue flies,
W ith vengeance darting from his eyes.
But Lovejoy, with advancing tread.
Hurls tenfold vengeance oa his head.
Meanwhile one Potter interferes,
And something reaches Pryor's ears,
Which, by the Code of Honor tried ,
A speedy Duel must decide.
The Challenge is accepted qaik.
And Potter 'twas a Yankee iritk
Selects, as weapons f?r the fiht.
1 wo Bowie knives, all keen and bright.
When Pryor, filled with prou i disdain,
Makes answer in the following (train :
"Inhuman Potter! thus to choose
' W hat no (rue gentleman would use ;
" Because with Bowies to engage
" Would savor of a Barbarous Age.
u Beside, I have prior claim
" Upon my bowels and my name,
"And am not now inclined to yield
" My body to the ' Potter's Field.'"
And so the Session passed away,
And Members, fearing lest their pay
Might not be coming, passed, by force
The Appropriation Bills, of course ;
And every body gladly learned
That Congress bad at last adjourned.
X.
Conventions for a month n
Gave maimi4ci enough to do.
The Democrats at Char! -sun hit
A rock cn which they had to split.
At Baltimore they tried to mend,
tint mUMhJ mn.1 tits mat man An.l
The old Ciaft parted, and the Head.
By Captain Caleb Cashing led.
Resolved to run, with might and main.
Those leaders, Breckinridge and Lane.
The Rump run Douglas, but soon found
His coattails most too near the ground.
Gome ancient gentlemen thought best
To have a Ticket with the rest;
And so they briefly named Du tell !
J he Constitution and John Bell !
Republicans, with heart and voice
United, made a noble choice,
Old Abe, tbe Honest and the Best,
The ra-al Splitter of the West.
And now begins the eager strife :
Conventions every day are rife;
Republicans are " Wide Awake,"
When Haman Rights are all at stake
T'.e People, rising in their might,
Are all inpatient lor the fight.
The Little Giant early star
To look for Ma in various parts,
And oven comes away out here,
At papa s grave to shed a tear.
The State Elections thunder oat
What all the people are about.
Tbe Democrats with terror quail
To see such doings with a rail :
8o every ether post they yield,
And make New York the Battle field.
And now Secession is the cry ;
Disunion threats by lightning fly :
A Panic surely will succeed
Unless New Yorkers all take heed.
And Fuse all parties to prevent
The Election of a President I
But look! November's San is bright !
The Hosts are mustering for the Fight !
The Charge is made, the Foe is met !
And when the Sixth Day's Sun is set,
With Fifty Thousand telling votes.
New York rings eat Triumphant Notes,
And through the land the People's voice
Thunders, "ABE LINCOLN IS OUR
CHOICE!!"
XI.
What means this scolding way down South ?
What word in everybody's mouth ?
Not now "the weather" is the theme
About which people talk and dream ;
But "Uow's the Union 1 " is the word
Which through the land is daily heard.
-The chivalrous Palmetto State
Is not at all disposed to wait
Till Lincoln chances to commit
Some "overt . ' with which to split
More rails to pen her strong and hence
She's making motions toward "de !."
Her fiery headed sons see need
Of speedy effort to secede,
And hope, with other States, to make
A move which shall the Union shake,
Though Sambo says, with turned up nose,
" Vis nigger for dis Union goes "
So not much progress have they made,
With all the help of blue cock ade.
Methinks I cn discern the Gist
Of all these shakings of the fist ;
Those constant rantings at the mouth
Power has departed from the South I
No more in Congress can she wield
The master's whip, and win the field.
The North has risen in its might !
The South is vanquished in the fight !
And Slavery sees her rising tomb-
Stnne. lettered. "Disr ros want of Room !"
The President kind-hearted rtan !
Will do just everything he can
To help us in this trying hour,
And all he says he lacks is power !
South Carolina, 'tis agreed,
Has cause sufficient to secede,
w . ...,- - ,. w ftina .
Has not the power to make her mind.
Ghost of Old Hickory ! come down,
And scare Secession out of town !
Old Abe ! do take the Cbair to-day.
For Nobody is in tbe way I
XII.
As home tnrn will relate
Two things about this verd ant State.
Judge Redfield ere Conventions meet
Writes out his JMavery views complete ;
And shows he likes the Southern sky :
At least to Charleston has an eye.
Bat Charleston gives the Judge the slip ;
So, fearing lest some Yankee trip
May lay him out, with legal grace
He just resigns his honored place,
And saves tbe State what thoughtful Judge !
The task of telling him to budge.
Our Treasury's in a failing way !
A-bcUes, a Legislators say ;
Or, rather, indicates Default
About the region of the vault,
And calls for diet more severe
To keep its circulation clear.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF
THE HERALD.
Panama, X. G., Dc 15th, 18C0
Dear. Herald : While sleigh ride
are fashionable, and great coat necessary
in your lection, evening walks and fwat
rides form agreeable changes with us from
trie neat, 01 me aav, wnere tne tuerrnom-
eter never gets down to zero, except at
an expense of ten cents per jound for the
luxurious artk-le of Ice. What a contra.-t
only a week from, frost bitten ears and
noses to perpetual summer. Our dry
season uas ju-a commenced, ana wc
now rejoicing at the absence of our pro
tracted winter rains. Deautifiil dry wea
ther is the order of the day, and cool
breezes froru the ever changing sea con
tinually keep us indebted to the clerk of
the weather, who, notwithstanding mv
northern proclivities, I think a southern
man and like him all the better for l-in:
so. As we are not allowed to pay taxes
here or vote, we hhun politics altogether
Although, without doubt, we are entire
ly over our troubles with the lawless band
of .Negro desperadoes, who, some time
since, so nearly gained entrance into this
city for the purpose of plunder and ravage,
yet it seems tl;e question between the
American and English Naval commanders
regarding the right of a protectorate over
the city is still open, notwithstanding all
former announcement to the contrary. By
the last California 6teamer a letter was re
ceived from Captain Miller, of th Kriili
..:.. .-," nf answer to one from our
Flag OlRcer, regarding his (Capt. Miller)
riiht of stationing a gua
ates m the city to hail jierson passing
tbrouirli ''' triets cC Now trmt Capt.
.Miller lias li lt this harbor, ainl is over
2"00 miles away, back conies an an
swer to a letter sent turn winie leaving
port, and which is entirely contradictory
to other correspondence held on the sul
ject while here, stating that notwithstand
ing what has occurred, he should again, at
any future time whenever he considered
it necessary, place a similar guard over
any of the consulates in Panama, and that
the sentries should be ordered to hail all
passers by during the night, and to arrest
those who refused to respond.
All this is bombastic ; and should the
"Clio" ever drop down here from San
Francisco, it is surely expected that there
will be an ojen rupture between the offi
cers of that ship and our navy ; at least
our Commodore will teach the olite Cap
tain what is the meaning of the protecto
rate which we guarantee over this Isthmus.
We have now six men-of-war in our har
bor, and in case of emergency can have
three or tour more at short notice ; there
fore we neither anticipate any serious dis
turbance by the natives, or interference by
John Dull. Still it cannot bo denied that
the latter named hombre is seeking every
excuse, and taking advantage of every
opening to place himself on a better foot
ing and destroy our influence on this coast.
Will our government calmly iook on anu
see this great highway of American com-
merce, with its millions of treasure, of
passengers and tons of mails and freight,
swallowed up by another power because,
forsooth, it is too feeble in its foreign pol
icy to say yea or nay and hold to it 'f Let
us hope that the inauguration of another
administration will turn over a new leaf,
and commence another page iu the history
of those politicians who, having had the
troverninsr pow.r in their own hands for
the past thirty years, have used it with a
vacillation disastrous in so many cases to
domestic and foreigu policy. Democracy
in olden time was a noble word, but ot lat
ter days has sadly degenerated from the
Eood old Webster definition ot uovern
ment by the people collectively." May
we not hope that a new era has dawned m
all our foreign policy as well, and that the
States and confederation bordering on our
glorious Republic will be looked after with
a more jealous eye, and also those more
i-emotn as regards distance, but drawn
very near by the bond of commercial in
terest ?
The last English mail from the southern
coast brings imiortant news from Peru,
Chile and Bolivia.
Peru. From Lima comes the start
ling intelligence that President CastelLt
barely escaped assassination tbe other day.
Aa this makes about a dozen times th
old man's lite has so nearly been sacrificed
to his Jackson lan spirit, I will not endeavor
to make a "sensation item, but give the
facts in tbe case briefly. Camilla's escape
was owing to the want of a fixed plan of
operation ; a few olhcers having put their
colonel under arrest, placed two sentries
over him, and then got together as many
of the soldiers as tbey thought necessary
for attacking tbe house of the President ;
but the two sentinels who were placed
over the Colonel finding themselves alone,
quitted their posts and joined their com
rades, leaving their prisoner to make suf
ficient noise to attract the attention of a
... i- ... .1.. 1:1 j
passing soldier, wuo uisuuiujr nocraieu
him. Being free, the first thing done was
to rouse the balance of the battalion, and
start in pursuit of the conspirators, who
were only found ay tne reports oi ineir
inuskets in Castilla's house.
The officers of the attacking party had
meanwhile gained entrance to the Gen
eral's house by knocking at the front door
and shooting the guard who opened it.
Thence they at once proceeded to the pri-
3, 1861.
vate apartments of Castilla, and found the
object of their warch in his dressing room.
The officer foremost fired hw revolver at
him, but as he discharged it the President
threw np his arm and fortunately escaped
the ball, and at the same instant the officer
was quieted by a sword thrust through his
body from a guard who had followed. The
om General, not knowing how many more
the attacking party numbered, immediately
escaped to the roof of his house, and so on
to a place of safety. The finale was sum
mary and just, six officers being at once
shot, and many more, who were implicat
ed, placed under arrest, among whom were
several in high political standing, showing
the revolution to have had many ramifi.
tions. The origin of tins conspiracy (as
s almost alwavs the case in thU mnnor
of the globe) was purely political, and was
an attempt to overtlirow the present gov
ernment in favor (f General Firman Cas-
tiiio ana of the Constitution of 180G. That

For the Herald.
HUMAN RIGHTS.
Mr. Editou : I have perused wit
interest a discussion which has been goin
on in the Herald for the last few weeks on
the subject of "Human Rights," "depas
turing the highway, Ice, and I confess
j am astonished at the osition taken by him
who writes over the signature of " Equal
Rights." He pretends to be writing for
I the benefit of the poori then would it no
- 1 be well to state through your paiier how
the oor receive and appreciate his prof
fered labors .' I can speak for one yjs,
many of them I am a ioor man, have a
family, but do not own a house, nor home
for the reason that I am not able ; but
would scorn the idea of being classed
among those who lay claim to the highway
for a cow pasture. It is not the poor but
the lawles who claim such rights; they
may be ioor or rich, as often rich. And
will say, as a representative of the poor,
that we con ider Mr. "Lqual Kights re
marks as insulting, degrading and crimin
ating to us as a class, it he means to say
that we covet or claim the grass growing
in tbe highway ; some of us I trust are too
honest, and J tor one lfce-1 too Independent,
although oor, to abstract from a source
from which I know I have no right
would just as soon claim the meadow, the
orchard, or cornfield of my neighbor as
the grass in the highway through his farm
knowing that all the right the public have
in it is the right to drive animals, and not
to leave them there for any length of time
unattended.
As "Equal Rights pays no regard to
tho ruling of courts, on the laws of the
btate, but thinks be has got bold of a sys
torn much more just and equitable. I wish
to investigate it, and endeavor to prove
that it would be very unequal in its opera
tion. I will now speak of but one point ;
who 6ba be at the expense of fencing bis
public cow-pasture, and have regard to the
rqie qi equity t For it cost nearly ev
ery farmer double to fence against street
cattle than what it does bis own, there al
ways being fields, on a majority of farms,
that require little or no fence to protect
the interest of the owner. The owner of
the farm on which I labor has long been
at an expense of fifty dollars a year to ac
commodate those who appropriate the
highway for a pasture, in consequence of
having a long distance of street fence, and
having to build it much stronger than hu
own interest required! and I, as a laborer,
have taken many weary steps, after doing
hard day a work, t 6ee it street cattle
were in mischief ; for people who allow
their cattle in the street, always have them
there nights, But to return to my sub
ject. 4 nave saown that one man may
NUMB Kit
have to expend fifty dollars on the public
cow-pasture, and another is not required
to expend one, according to the ay Mem of
Equal Rights, and yet all enjoy iu benefits
equally. Xow I think that Ecrual Rhrhts
ought to take no exceptions when he iad -
vised to, pursue thia subiect f inli - fi.r
there is certainly need enough of it ; the
poor win not than, hint for his service
rendered in. t'r.Whalf; he must look to
the lawIessCoj Jsuiend.ilion, and I think
he gm, with jrfeH propriety, change his
signature in future to Uneoual Risrhta.
! And finally let me add my approval of
me present laws ol the Mate relating to
depasturing and fencing the highway. Let
them not le repealed, but let him be dealt
with, who tramples ujen them with im

THE LITTLE QUAKERESS WHO
WAS DESPERATELY IX LOVE,
An amusing matrimonial story is told of
the olden time a New England. It fell out
that two young people became very much
smitten with each other as young people-
do. The young woman s father was a
wealthy Quakerthe young uusk was re.
-ectable. The father could stand no si-h
union, and resolutely opposed it, and the
daughter tUro not disobey openly. She
"met him by moonlight,' when she pre- .
teuded never to see hiru, and she jii-d
and wasted away. She was really iu love
a state of sijhs an 1 tears, which women
oftetier roach in imagination than reality.
S;till tho father rtsniaied inexorab'- -
Time passed on, aud UseTOse on Mry's
damask cheek paased off. ' She let no con
cealment, like a worm in the buL. prey on
tliat damask cheek, bow ever, but when the
father asked her why the pined, she al
ways told r;iin. The old gentleman was
a idower. and loved his daughter dearly.
Had uheen a widowed mother who had
Mary in tlmrge, a widow's pride would
have given way before tbe importunities
of a daughter, lien are not, bowevr,
stubborn, in such tKattert, and when the
father saw that his daughter's heart was
really set upon the match he surprised her
ooe day by breathing out
' Mary, rather than mope to death, thee
bad better marry as soon as theechooHss,
and whom thee pleases."
And then what did Mary? Wait till
the birds of the air had told her swain of
the change, or until her father had time to
alter his mind again ? . Not a bit of it. She
dapped her neat plain bonnet on her head,
and walked directly to the bouse of her
intended, as fast as ber feet would carry
her. She walked Into the house without
knocking for knocking was not then fash
ionable and she found the family just
sitting down to dinner.
Some little commotion was exhibited at
so unexpected and so unusual an appari
tion as the heiress k!n the widow's cottage,
but she heeded It not, John looked tip
inquiringly. She' walked directly opto
him and took both his hands into her's.
John," said she, ."father says I may
have thee,, . . .';;
