TO WM. H. SEWARD.
Statesman, I thank thee! and, if yet dissent
Mingles, reluctant, with my large content,
I cannot censure what was nobly meant,
Kut, while constrained to hold even Union less
Than Liberty and Truth and Righteousness,
I thank tbee in the sweet and holy name
Of peace, tor wise, calm words that put to shame
Passion and party. Courage may be shown
Not in defiance of the wrong alone ;
He may be bravest who, unweaponed, bears
The olive branch, and strong in justice, spares
The rash wrong-doer, giving widest scope
To Christian eharity and generous hope.
If. without damage to the sacred cause
Of Freedom and the safe-guard of its laws , -
If. without yielding that for which alone
We prize the Union, thou can 'st save it now
From the baptism of blood, upon thy brow
A wreath whose flower no earthly soil have known,
Woven of the beatitudes, shall rest ;
And the peacemaker be forever blest.

One balmy summer night, Mary,
Just as the crescent moon
Had thrown aside her fleeoy veil,
We left the gay saloon ;
And in a green, sequestered spot,
Beneath a drooping tree,
Fond words were breathed, by yon forgot,
That still are dear to ma, Mary,
That still are dear to me.
Ob we were nappy then, Mary -Thus
friour alter yani, ' -
The world would be a paradise,
And not a Tale ot tears, Mary,
And not a vale of tears.
I live but in the past, Mary
The glorious days of old! f
When love was hoarded in the heart,
As mixers hoard their gold;
And oiten like a bridal train,
To music soft and low,
The by-gone moments cross my brain.
In all their summer glow, Mary
la all their summer glow.
These visions form and fade, Mary,
As age comes stealing on,
To bring the light and leave the shade
Of days forever gone!
The poet's brow may wear at last
The bays that round it fall;
But love has rose-buds of the past
Far dearertban them ail, Mary,
Far dearer than them all !

EXTRACTS FROM MY JOURNAL.
Lota, Chili, SepL 9, I860.
Saturday, Aug. 18. Having got the coal
in last evening and everything being ready,
we weighed anchor at seven o'clock, and
stearaedslowly down to the fort, where we
stopped a short time to render our passport,
and while waiting for the officer to come Oil
to us the bell struck eight, when in a moment
up went the flags to the peak of every ship
of war in the harbor, when the Bands ot each
ship played their own National Anthems, and
as we were but a few yards from an English
Frigate, their music sounded beautiful to us ;
I think I never beam uou save iue uccu
performed any better.
Brazil has some very good ships-of-war,
being mostly of American build. With as
much of a commercial port as Rio, I was sur
prised to find no American man-of-war in
the harbor. England and Ffance lcok well
the, intprpsta in a commercial point ol
view: would that our government did the j eighteen inches long
same, so that when an American is iar away
from his native land ana in a ioreigu pun,
he could hear " Hail Columbia, that air ot
music which willvalway8 fill the heart and
soul of the patriot with the love of freedom.
At 8.30 we passed the castle at the mouth
of the harbor, and soon lost sight ot the city
I never expected to see again. No never do
I expect again to walk in the streets of the
fair city of Rio Janeiro, or least my eyes
upon such natural beauty as adorns itt har
bor. Never again will I see the sun light
up the tops of those lofty mountains, nor walk
ers. . , - ,

rt,n .Cfopnvm was snent
chief engineer, making bullets for our rifles,
so as to be ready for wild geese and other
.raine when we cane to the straits and in
tVimming one, my knife slipped by the roll
of the ship, and I cut my left fore-finger halt
off, which I thought was but poor sport to
begin with. ' ,
Just before sunset the wind changed to the
South ; the clouds fled away, the evening
was clear and cold, and the stars shone out
in all their beauty and- grandeur, while the
Southern Cross, which but a few days ago 1
fiist saw in the horizon, is now nign up, as
are in 36 South Latitude, and it will con
tlnnp to rise higher night by night as we ap-
k thf Knnth Pole. 1 do not
mates and faithful sailors cast the lead as we
move slowly on.
At 10.30 we saw a ship ashore on the Pat
agonia side; also a smoke which tame from
the fire which the survivers of the wreck had
made as a signal to call us to them. Capt. II.
at once stood in towards them, and was soon
met by a boat from the wreck containing the
captain and six men. They were Chilians,
and were from Valparaiso, bavins been
wrecked in a snow storm on the 20th, and
had been there eleven days. At the lequest
of the captain we took the supercargo on
board only, as the rest would remain until
he could send them help from Sand Point,
where there was a settlement and where he
wished to be landed. Early in the P. M.,
we met a snow storm, and had to anchor for
the rest of the day and night Here the
Strait is about the same width as Long Is
land Sound 08 New London, Conn., and we
found good anchorage, although a strong tide
was setting to the east. Hoping now to take
gome fish, I put over my lines, notwithstanding
the cold wind and snow storm, but having
poor luck and soon getting chilled through, I
was glad to retire for the night.
Saturday, Sept. 1,'clear and cold. Sailed
at 6.30 keeping nigh to the shore at Patago
nia, which resembled very much that of Long
J .jt 4.- i- .ik.nt.tv..i,.i.
we vovaged on.
In the afternoon the land was much higher,
and onJTierra-del-Fuego, nothing but moun
tains all covered with t-now, the most gloomy
and forsaken looking land I ever saw.
At 4 P.M. we came in sight of Sans Point,
and was soon off the little town (if such it
may be called), and as we 'stopped to land
our ship-wrecked passengers, the Governor
of the colony came out and wished us to wait
for him to write some letters which he wanted
left at Valparaiso or the coal mires of Lota,
whichever port we made. At first Capt. H.
said he could not wait, a he was getting short
ofcoaLbut at last concluded to stop, and
down went the anchor for the third time,
making Jack growl and swear, as it is " no
fun " to weigh anchor and overhaul chain
cable in latitnde 54 South, and mid-winter
at that. ,
Sandy Point is situated on quite a nne nay

ground are seen the hills, wooJed, but the
whole country draped in snow,enou--h to chili
one in looking at the scene afterccming from
brazil. The Chilian government purchased
of the Indians 21 miles for this colony, where
they keep a guard of soldiers, as they send
some of their convicts here.
As we steamed into the harbor the natives
saw the ship from the mountains aud some
fifty of them rode into town, expecting we had
come to trade, and for one I regretted we had
not, as they had a good stock of furs. In
the evening, Purser batterlee and some of the
other officers went over to see tbem.but flund
them not giants, as Magellan stated them to
be when he first "discovered this country.
Sarmiento, a Spanish voyager, made them
out to be actual cyclops. Sir Thomas Cav

one and said that the Indians about the settle

September 2d. As the past night was
clear, Capt. II. weighed anchor soon after
midnight in order to mke the best use he
could of the weather. So when I went on
deck in the morning I foun-i the Strait about
the same as the Hudson at the Highlands,
and the land scene about the same also, but
the mountains higher than 'hose at and above
West Point, and most of them without any
vegetation ; so there was nothing but gloom

boy, in the Old Granite State, of reading in
ay gegraphy of the natives of Patagonia
and Tierra-del-Fuego ; then and there it was,
i a little red school-house, in the town of
Alstead, I first had a desire to some day
vjsit this part of the world, see these natives,
and sail through the straits where Magellan
first sailed.
! While at anchor, some of the officers went
oa auck shooting, and returned just b'-fore
dark with some fine ones. They reported
ttem very wild and hard to get. They went
up a small river, some five miles, water clear
asa deep, with very rocky bottom, taw no
Indians, but two huts made of sticks. They
saw a number of seals, but they were as wild
as the ducks. I here again put over my fiah
lices, but had no luck, not so much as a nib
ble, as the old saying goes.
Sept. 3d. We got under way this morn
inj at 5 o'clock, weather now clear and cold.
At noon we were in blue water, for the two
oceans had kissed each other in this far off,
secluded spot, screened by the Andes of Pat
agtnia on one side and the mountains of the
islind of Desolation on the other, whose era-
gel, rocky cliffs are ever white with tne snows
otan endless southern winter.

THE GREAT STRUGGLE.
Nations as well as individuals have their
; ays of prosperity, and also of adversity.
There always is a time in their history when
there seems to be a turning point in their ca
reer and progress. The anpals of the paat
prove that this assertion is true. Not a na
tion hasexisttd since the world began that
ha not been subject to revolution and change.
When e consider that ditlerence ol opinion
have always existed among men, and also that
there is so much; pride and vanity in the hu
man heart, it will not seem so strange to us
that there are times of great excitement, and
even of strife. Reason teaches us that the
contending principles of right and wrong
cannot long subsist together. It requires only
the peaceful course of time to decide which
shall triumph. The wild political excitement
that now prevails throughout the Union, and
the contest ol parties for the success of their
principles, are sure proofs that there is no
in progress a mighty struggle in this nation
It is a struggle perhaps the most important
eince the Revolution, and in a great measure
will decide the future destiny ol our country.
What are some of the staring events that are
now transpiring around us V What do we
now behold in this cur boasted land of free
doii V We see in the aouthern portion . of
our Union the work of a rebellious mob, a
rebellion anainst our government and our
laws; we see armed bands of traitors, more
infamous iban Benedict Arnold oi the Amer
ican Revolution, seeking by every means
whatever, just ot foul, to overthrow and ruin
our institutions. Even gun9 have been fired
ujkmi an unarmed vessel for attempting to
enter a southern port under the batiner ot
the United biates. Our Hag, wnicn nas so
long and so triumphantly waved over us, and
which to-dav is o highly respected in every
port of the "civilized world, by these traitors
has U-en torn down arid dishonored, and a
Otir federal property has been seized in de
fiance o' the lawi ot :he land. Nut only are

tin-se traitors seen in me oouiu, uui aisj iu

itol ; they an; seen in the halls of legislation,
openly p'rodaiiuing and uphol ding their atro
cious "designs. All, all of these events and
movements are now transpiring in this our
beloved country. My country nun, 1 ap

The third was in 1 791, called " I he U 1ns-

The fourth instance was in 1814, by tne
Harttford Convention Federali.s's-
The fifth, on which occ ision the dillerent
sections of the Union came into collision, was
u 1820, nnder the Administration ot I resi

of the admission of Missouri into the Union.
Th h xth was a collision between tne i-eg
islature of Georgia and the Federal Govern
ment in regard to certain lanas given oy me
Government to the Creek Indians.
The seventh was in 1830, wtn tne neru-
kees in Georgia. .
The eii'hth was the memorable mutinying
Ordinance tf South Carolina, in 1832.
The ninth was in 1842, and occurred in
Rhode Island, between the " Suffrage Asso
ciation' and the State authorities.
The tenth was in 1856, on the part or me
Mormons, who resisted Federal authority.
All these have been suppressed without
any considerable violence to property or lite.

I well remember when but a small school
were washed by the waves of the Atlantic,
aiieicueu ior some distance out into the aea.
For miles on either side, the beach was
smooth and sandy, with scarcely a curve or
an angie to break: the straight line which di
viuea the land from the water; and had it
not been for the light which burned so bright-
auu launiuiiy nom out the light-house on
the point, many a noble vessel would have
gone to pieces on its treacherous shoals. This
little strip ol land had always been called
" lhe Keck," and except the tall lightrhouse,
painted in th strongest white aud black,
with the tiny, stone cottage attached, and
two or three fishermen's huts, there was no
habitation for many miles around.
. m.. 'a People a white-haired man and
his wife had lor years been the teuants of
the little cottage ; and every night as their
taithlul repeater rung out the hours, they
each took their turn in mounting the stone
steps and the steep iron ladder of the tower
to tiiin the lamp, and keep its light from go
ing out. Besides this old couple, there dwelt
in the ccttage a child ol some eight or nine j
yef "f-too young to be a daughter of - the I
plied.' It was gdDraiiy'iuvwt -"- ' -.
that sit years before, a ship had gone to
pieces on the coast, and of ail those wuo float
ed ashore, only this child was living ; she was
clasped, in the arms of a dead woman, whom
the light-keeper buried beneath a clump of
water-willows, and only a lock of her long,
fair hair was preserved, in case she should
ever be inquired for. Indeed, there was
nothing else to save, tor there was no mark
on her oarmenta. thotiizh on the child's white
dress a delicate vine was woven into the
shape of the letter W. She was taken to
the light-house, and because lhe inmates had
no children of their own, and because she
looked so bright aud beautiful in their home
ly rooms, they adopted her as their own. For
a long time they puzzled themselves about
her name ; the child could not tell it hersell ;
and finally, the old man said she should be
called -Wad"," because she had come into
their poasesoion, and there was no oue to
claim Ler. So the child was growing up in
that lonely place, bringing sunshine into the
aged hearts, that somehow lightened and
grew fresher for having a young thing bite
her to cheer them with her glad laughter.
There were many ways in which little
A'aif assiste 1 the old people with her light
and busy fingers; but after her tasks were
over, she loved bes to wander along the sea
shore, where he would rove for hours, gath
eriri" bright Lebbles and beautiful shells, uu-
ti! her apron would overnow wuu uer nc
ures. Then, in the afternoon, she would ait
out in the sunshine, with the fishermen's
wives, helping them mend their husband a
nets, disentangling their fishing lines, listen
in" to their wild stories of shipwrecks, and
drtnking in their 'superstitious fictions with
attentive ears.
The light that ahone out every evening
trom the tall tower, was a wonderful thing
to her, aud ever alter she came to under
stand the danger it warded otf, she looked
at its warning rays with the greatest awe. It
was a sacred trust to her, when she was first
permitted to clean and trim the lamp ; and
although the night that folio we 1 was bright
and clou lies, she lay awake until morning,
(taring lest she had not attemiea to u yw
perly, and that shipwrecks might ensue
But after a while she conquered this feeling,
when she found that he was even more care
i.. i ik.n ti... r.i.l r.wn.le. and it was with a
It. , uaii .uv '- J . ...
and with a glad heart that she saw the could
do everything wiih her on small hands.
The kee'iers would never allow her to sit up
at night, although she had cften begged them
to let her take her turn tor an hour at least ;
but it so happened that, contrary to all her
expectations, the whole responsil iliry of
guarding the light once fell upon hers If.
The l ght-keeper and his wile were one
day obliged, unexpectedly, to go to a neigh
boring town ; and tearing lest a storm, that
seemed to be gathering, should detain them
till next day, the old man sent for his brother
to come and take his place. The brother
sent back word that he would be at "The
Neck" by five o'clock, and as he had never
failed in keeping these appointments, the old
people went away from the cottage early,
with no misgivings on their inids, leaving
Waif n company with two fishermen's wives.
As the hour of five approached, gusts of win 1

every mntneut the storm w; s growing fiercer,
and she opened the door and tried to make
her voice reach one ot the huts, but the
strong win 1 sent her back agiin, and after
waiting another hour, she barred the doors,
and went up into the lonely light-house to
watch the lamp, if need be, until morning
dawned.

persons on Hyde Park. The drive along

place npon the ice, and blue, green, and red
fires were ignited, which produced an extra

large number of tents were lighted up with
variegated oil lamps and festoons of Chinese

Tax Mopkhx Statksmax. In Sberrard
Clemens' speech on Tuesday, in which be
gave such offence to the di,uniooists, be drew
the following picture of the type of statesmen
which has been so common at Wa.-hinzton of
late:
"A statesman must now not onlv narrow
his mind and give up to party what was
meant for mankind, but be must recede as
submissively as a blind horse in a bark mill
to every perverted opinion which sits, whip
in hand, on the revolving ahaft, at the en J of
which he is harnessed. To be 3x diamond nf
the firat water he must stand in the Senate
Honse of his country, and in the face of a for-
patriotism to the State on whose local pas
sions be thrives, to the country wheie be prac
tices court, or to the city where he flaunts in
all the meretricious dignity ot a Doge of Ven
ice, lie can take an oath to support the
Constitution of the United States, but he can
en ter with honor into a conspiracy to over
throw it. He can, under the sanctity of the
same oath advise the seizure of forts and ar
senals, dockyards and ships, and money, be
longing to the Union, whose oflicer he u, and
find a most loyal and convenient retreat in
State authority and State allegiance."

A horse that cost his owner $2700, but which
was utterly unmanageable, and which his
