The Song of the Camp,
A CRIMEAN IXCIES5T?-CT BAYAHD TATLOS. .
The subjoined, touchingly, fceau?ful poem?-for
it is a poem in the fullest sense and meaning of the
term, was written by Bayard Taylor, while *be
fortress of Sebastopol was beleaguered by the al?
lied armies. To a full understanding and appre?
ciation of it, let it be remembered that " Annie
Laurie" is the song of tho British Camp, and
whemer a British Regiment?whenever the simple
Scotch air of
" Maxwollon's banks are bonny;
Where early falls the dews," &c,
Is struck up?the heart nnd voice of every soldier
responds as promptly as would their hands,' if the
order was given to charge the enemy.
THE INCIDENT.
" Give us a song," the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding;
! When the heated guns of the camps a?ied,
Grew weary of bombarding. .
The dark Redan in silent scoff,
Lay grim and thrashing under.
And the tawny mound of the Malakoff
No longer belched its thunder.
- 5 : , ? ?? .-; .;?]
There was a pause. The guardsman said,
" We storm the forts to-morrow,
Sing while we may, another day
WB1 bring enough of so rrow."
They lay along the battery's s?*
B.elow the smoking cannon?
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyd?,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame;
Forgot- was Britain's glory?
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang " Annie Laurie."
Voice after voice csught up the song,
Until the tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong?
Their battle?eye confession.^
Dear girl?her name .he dared not speak, .
Yet as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldier's cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening oeean burned
The bloody sunsets embers.
While the Crimean valley learned
How English lovo remembers.
And once again a fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot and burst of shell,
And bellowing of the mortars.
An Irish Nora's* eyes are dim,
For a singer's dum and gory,
An English Mary mourns for him,
Who sang of;< Annie Laurie."
Ah I soldiers to your honored rest,
? Your truth and valor bearing;
The bravest are the tenderest?
The loving are the daring.
The Had Congress,
Is cor "National Legislature an assem?
blage of Lotus Eaters ? Are they under
the influence of the Persian Hasheesh
that makes them livo in a world of
dreams and idle fancies ? Take, for in?
stance, the proceedings of Congress on
"Wednesday, and judge whether calm,
dispassionate and sober thought controls
the legislation upon which, at a crisis
fraught with danger, depends the safety
and welfare of the Republic. In the
United States Senate, where, if anywhere,
might be expected gravo deliberation on
the issues whoso settlement are of para?
mount'importance to the country, the
proceedings open thus :
Mr. Lane, of Kansas^ said: .
I present, with pleasure, tho petition of
one hundred and twenty-four beautiful,
intelligent and accomplished ladies of the
City of Lawrence, Kansas, praying for
an Amendment to the Constitution, that
. shall prohibit tho several States from dis?
franchising any of their citizens on the
ground of sex.
Mr. Lane said:
The committeo that is considering the
subject of extending the right of suffrage
to the male blacks of the United States,
it eooms to me, is the proper one to refer
the potition of the white women of the
United States on that subject, and I
thereforo move that it bo roferred to the
Committee on Reconstruction.
It was so referred. "Wo do not propose |
to criticise tho propriety of referring to
tho Committee on Reconstruction a peti?
tion asking for the bestowal of the elec
tivo franchise upon the women of our
country, nor do we intend to investigate
the claims of the gentler sex to the privi?
lege of expressing their sentiments at
the ballot box. Perhaps,^ view of tho
exaltation, the ranaticism, the prejudices
and recklessness of many of those that
now constitute our voting population, it
may be inferred that no great harm and
possibly some good may come from the
extension of the franchise to the in?
telligent of that sex, who, if they are
lacking in the habit of close reasoning,
have at least, we hope, impulses purer
* and less mischievous than the faction that
:
now control the political sphere. "We
would simply call attention to the fact
that the spirit of innovation possesses leg?
islators at tho very period when, from, ihe
effects of convulsion, excitement and po?
litical confusion, they are utterly incom?
petent to exercise the mental attributes
essential to mature and unimpassioned
consideration. Let us see, Jj^r instance,
what follows, in the Senate, the action
upon Mr. Lane's presentation of the pe?
tition.
Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, presen?
ted a memorial, in whioh the petitioner
states that he was opposed to the freedom
of the blacks, but that now they had been
freed, they ought to be placed upon an
equalifcylwith tJiewhites asMfcivSl rights.
"Which was also referred to the Com?
mitteo on Becons-truction.
! Fe: see, 'from this, tiiat the precorm:
nant idea with the leading spirits of the
Senate.is not;to haimonize the conflicting
elements i&at survive the ordeal of civil
strife, not. to legislate for the redemption
of the Republic from the effects of a de?
structive and desolating war, not to labor
for the interests of the whole people, or
for tho" restoration of tranquility, order
and confidence throughout the land, but
that in the worst temper of demagogue
ism, the favorite object is to conciliate
classes, and to legislate political power
into the hands of those that 'have, here?
tofore, been withheld from participation
in political affairs.
"We appeal to the common sense of the
people whether this is the proper time for
such experiments. Is it opportune to de?
cide now whether women or negroes
should be endowed with the elective fran?
chise ? There is so much to be done in
the simple way of readjusting the politi?
cal system and replacing the Union se?
cure upon tho foundations already built,
that only madness or crime would at?
tempt to tamper with those foundations
at this crisis. "What the Republic needs
now, more than at any other time, in the
National Legislature, is forbearance, mod?
eration, reflection and dispassionate ac?
tion in behalf,of the general interests.
What, on the contrary, is the record that
is daily presented? Tho exhibition of
passion, pride, resentment and partisan
malevolence. "Wild schemes of visiona?
ries ; conspiracies of ambitious factions ;
menaces, denunciations and recrimina?
tions of fiery demagogues ; a disposition,
in brief, to overthrow what is, and build
anew upon tho ruins, under the pbrensy
o? fanaticism. Such a Congress would
make chaos out of order; how, then, can
we expect it to create order out of the
confusion that prevails. One Sonater
clamors for woman's rights; another for
negro equality. The Eobespierre of the
House, already, in Lie mind's eye, builds
a scaffold tor the President, and his hot
fanaticism seems a thirst for the blood of
the highest in the land. The spirit of ex?
ultation and fury governs the national
councils. We turn to the people for a
sign that promises salvation. There at
least, though there be apathy, there is judg?
ment ; but when, when will they inter?
pose to check the rioting of their unfaith?
ful servants ??N. Y. News.

' The Editorial Treadmill.?Tho Home
Journal thus describes tho editor's bur?
dens :
It is one of the hardships of our profes?
sion that its working wheels?brains and
heart?are notfi allowed to lag for sick?
ness, or to stop for calamity or sorrow.
Tho judgo may adjourn his court, the
school and the workshop rtiay close shut?
ters, the mourners may veil his features,
and turn friend and stranger from the
door; but the journalist must forgot be
foro to-morrow the sorrows of to-day,
must, write gaily and freshly as a news?
monger on the trifles of the hour, what?
ever burden has been laid upon tho same
hour by Providence, or his brains as a
man. It sometimes tries and mocks as
the world that reads what is thus written
would never dream of. Tho public looks
upon-thc editor's labor as the Indian did
upon the man that was cutting hay. He
finally gavo as his opinion that it was
?' easy to see the white man mow."
A White Lieutenant and his "Negro
"Wife?A Steamboat Scene.?On tho late
trip of the stoamer " Luminary" from
"New Orleans, says the New Albany
(Ind.) Ledger, a man giv ing his name as
Thomas, and professing to be a lieuten?
ant in u colored regiment, came on board
at Vicksbnrg, accompanied by a negro
woman whom ho claimed to bo Mb wife,
and demanded a state-room for the couple.
The officer of the boat told him he could
have a room for himself, but that the no
gre6S must go into the nursery. Tho lieu?
tenant objected to this arrangement very
strongly, but finding the officer inexora
blo, was compelled to submit. After the
boat left Yicksburg, somo of the passen?
gers, believing it impossible that the two
were really married, went to the woman
and asked to see her marriage certificate,
which she readily produced, ?igned in duo
form by an army chaplain, stationed in
Vicksb.urg, who had performed the cere?
mony. The passengers then went to the
lieutenant and asked to see his commis?
sion, when he replied that ho did not have
any. They then asked to seo his cer?
tificate of discharge, but neither could
that be produced. They then stripped
off his shoulder straps and erdered him
on deck, whither ho was compelled to go.
On arriving at Memphis, lieutenant
Thomas and his sable bride were put
ashore. They afterward attempted to
procure passage on the ff Tarascon," for
Louisville, but were refused.
The affair greatly disgusted the passen?
gers on the " Luminary," as was natural.
"Whether Thomas was really a lieutenant
may be regarded as problematical, but
that he was a white man and was mar?
ried to the negress there can be no ques?
tion. Ho claimed to be from Ohio.
Man has taught even the lightnings to
forget their thunders, and to whisper, as
they flicker along the wires, the accents
of his thought. ^
An Old Letter fron* JeSfetSon
Davis.
The following letter from Jefferson Da?
vis to tho Jato lion. Wro- J. Biowrr. of In?
diana, "has been made public for the first
time; a
? ..Washington, D. C, May 7, 1S53, , i
My bear Sir: I received the Sentinel
containing jour defense of mo against the
false accusation of disonionisrn, and before
I had returned to you the thanks to which
yon are -entitled, I received this day, the*
St. Joseph Valley Re.gkttr, marked by
you, to call say attention to an article in
answer to your defense; just in all things
save its too complimentary terms.
I wish I had the letter quoted from,
that you might publish the whole of that
which is garbled to answer a purpose In
a part of the letter not published, I put
such a damper on tho attempt to fix on
me the desire to break up our Union, and
presented other points in a form so little
acceptable to the unfriendly inquirers,
that'tho publication of tho letter had to
bo drawn out of them.
At the risk of being wearisome, but
j encouragod by your marked friendship, I
will give you a statement of tho case.
The meeting of October, 1849, was a con?
vention of delegates equally representing
tho Whig and Democratic parties in* Mis?
sissippi. Tho resolutions wero decisive
as to equality of right in tho South with
the North to the territories acquired from
Mexico, and proposed a convention of tho !
Southern States. I was not a member,
but on invitation addressed the conven-.
tion. The succeeding Legislature in?
structed me, as a Senator, to assort this
oqu?lity, and under the existing circum?
stances to resist by all constitutional
means tho admission of California, as a
State. At a called session of the Legisla?
ture in 1850, a self-constituted committee
called on mo, by letter, for my views.?
They were.men who had enacted or ap?
proved the resolutions of the convention
of 1819, and instructed rift, as member of
tho Legislature in tho regular session, in
the early part of the year 1850. To them
1 replied that I adhered to the policy they
had indicated and instructed me in their
official capacity to pursue.
I pointed out the modo in which their
policy could in my opinion, bo oxecutcd
without bloodshed or disasterous convul?
sion, but in terms of bitter scorn alluded
to such as would insult me with a desire
to destroy the Union, for which my wholo
lifo proved me to bo a devotee.
Pardon the egotism, in consideration
of the. occasion, when I say to you that
my father and my uncle fought through
the revolution of 1776, giving their youth,
their blood and their little patrimony to
the constitutional freedom which I claim
as my inheritance. Three ?f my brothers
fought in the war of 1812, two of them
J were comrades of the Hero of tho Her?
mitage, and received his commendation
j for gallantry at New Orleans. At sixteen
years of ago I was given to tho service of
my country; for twelve years of my lite
"I have borne its arms and served it zeal
ou?ly, if not well. As I feel tho jnfirmi
tics which suffering more than age has
brought upon me, it would be a bitter re?
flection indeed if I was forced to concludo
that my countrymcrfcwould hold all this
light when weighed against the empty
panegyric which a time serving politician
can bestow upon tho Union, for which he
never made a sacrifice.
In the Senate I announced that if any
respectable man would call mc a disunion
ist, I would answer him in raonosj'llables.
On many occasions, in public speeches
made in Mississippi, I havo said, if any
man would come forward and char^o me
with a desire to destroy tho Union, I
would cram the lie down his throat But
I have often asserted the right, for which
the battles of the revolution wero fought
?the right of a people to change their
government whenever it was found to Do
oppressive, and subversive of the objecta
for which governments are instituted?
and have contended for the independence
and sovci'oignty of the States, a part of
the creed of which Jefferson was the
apostlo, Madison tho expounder, and Jack?
son tho consistent defender.
I have written freoly, and more than I
designed. Accept my.^thanks for your
friendly advocacy. Present mo in terms
of kind roraembranco to your family, and
believe mo, very sincorely yours,
JEFFEESON DAVIS.

Is an.Indian as. Good as a Negro 1?r
Eeferring to the Stevens amendment of
the Constitution, which specially excepts
Indian's from tho protection granted to
negroes, the Now York Herald remarks:
"Think of such a man. as the gallant
Col. Parker, Gen. Grant's aid-de-camp,
and.many other superior men of the In?
dian race we might name, being excluded,
while Africans, who hardly know their
right hand from their left, are admitted
to political equality with tho whites. In
fact, if the negro is t<f be placed on per
fect^political. equality with ourselves, we
cannot see why the Indians, Chirionse,
Malays, and the. other races, which are
not inferior to the negro, should not have
the same privilege."
From Hit New. fork News, Feb. 1
A Foolish "Note and a Sharp Reply,
There are some men who.seom to become
frantic -when they hear the name cr-eee
the* likeness" of that heroic soldier nnd
Christian gentleman, Robert E. Lee. The
very brightness of his virtues and the
spkndor of his character so dazzle and
confound them that they lose their wits
and rave like madmen.
One of these happened, a few days ago,
tosee.a likeness of Gen. Leo hanging
upon the walls of tho reading room of the
"New York hotel,and, forthwith, addressed
to the Evening Post the subjoined note,
which wo extract from that journal:
To the Editors of the Evening Post: The
friends and admirers of Robert E. Lee,
late General in command of tho armies in
rebellion against the United States Gov?
ernment arc informed that the pi'oprie
tors of the "New York hotel have placed
in their reading room his portrait for ex?
hibition. In order to give it a conspicu?
ous place, the portrait of President "Wash?
ington had to be removed. It is pre?
sumed that the public will see the propri?
ety of the change when they take into
consideration the services of the two "men.
" Chivalry."
"We were pleased to learn to-day that
Mr. Cranston has hung the above note
beneath tho picture of General Lee and
appended to it the following admirable
|.reply:
The writer of the above appears to
have been much exercised at the picture
of General Leo hanging in the public
room of this hotel. His statement that
tho picture of the famous Virginian, Gen?
eral "Washington, was removed to give
place to that of General Leo, is false. The
room was cleared of all pictures and maps
for the purpose of papering tho walls, and
no pictures had been replaced, as they
were being cleaned. The likeness of Gen?
eral Leo was placed there without my
knowledge by some person who offered it
for sale.
As "Chivalry" doubtless represents
some doughty hero who manoouvered
around Norfolk and bottled up Butler,
and has more spoons, pianos, etc., than
qualities that constitute a noble, chival?
rous her?, I allow him to pass with tho
mantlo of glory gained by attacking a
picture. Hieam Cranston.

The Life "WiTnT.v.?It was a gloomy
afternoon. I sat at my window gazing
out upon the storm, ray mind filled with
reminiscences of tho past, and reaching
forward to the untried realities of tho fu?
ture. Just in sight was a large tree,
stripped of its foliage, and swaying to and
fro by tho wind and rain which beat upon
it. It seemed an emblem of my wife.?
The winter of ago was creeping upon mo,
the storms of adversity and bereavement
had fallen with crushing weight upon my
poor heart, prostrating the once vigorous
frame. Had I dwelt upon this side of tho
picture alone, sad would have been my
feelings; but that tree, now so bare and
cheeiless, had within it a life-giving sap,
which in a few months would run through
trunk and branch, sending forth bud and
leaf in renewed beauty. Thank God,
I inwardly exclaim, that lite-giving,
strengthening power is within no. Jesus
in my heart, his love permeating my
whole being, earthly treasures may be
taken, storms of sorrow may full, but the
soul is prepared, when tho winter of life
is over, to spring forth new beauty in a
Paradise of God.
Prodigality and Extravagance of
the South.?From the following, which
wo find in a late number of tho Macon
Journal and Messenger, it would appear
that the reign of extravaganco is .com?
mencing in the South. It says:
Tho very idea of economy, and even of
regulating expenses by income, seoms to
have departed from among us. The
opening of Northern store-houses to our
astonished vision seems to have run eve?
rybody crazy, the poor as well as the rich.
Women dress as if tho3r were locomotive
signs for tho milliners' shops, and men
smoke costly cigars, drink fifteen dollar
brandy, and drive fast horses, as if they
were loaded down with riches, and had
but a short time to live, and nobody to
leave it to. "We shall wako up from this
delusion before many months shall have
passed over our heads; and when the
crash comes, what an awful fall it will be.

The Republican Party Breaking Up.
-The outrageously radical measures of
Sumner and Stevens are brcakiug up the
Republican party, which could have ruled
the country for the next century, had it
been properly managed. It elected Lin?
coln over McClellan in 1864, because all
the soldiers and friends of the soldiers
gave it their votes; but now we see that
all great generals, like Grant, Sherman
and Thomas, have declared against the
radical policy in their reports, and that
tho soldiers arc indignant at the efforts
mado for immediate universal and uncon?
ditional negro suffrage. The result will
be the organization of a new conservative
party that will annihilate the Republicans
as they annihilated the Democrats. Tho
oniy military men who endorse Sumner
and Stevens in their crusado against the
President are Ben. Butler and Carl
Schurz.?New York Herald.
The Governor yesterday visited the
Jicvcnue Cutter *- K-ewanee *" ?od was ex?
cellently revived by the officers of that
vessel. Capt. Seiden did the honors, sup
poi-ted by his Lieutenants, Just, Wefester,
and Starwood. The Governor was\sup?
ported by his aids, and by ;a select cirei?.
of friends. Among the guests were the
Collector of tho Port, Dr. A. G. Mackey,
Mr. Surveyor Leiten, and others of the
service. Among the guests were Brother
Pierson, who is one of the great Masonic
oracles of the West. The day was passed
with great pleasantry. The "harbor was
very beautiful and showed to great ad?
vantage. The Cutter "Kewanee" was
thoroughly explored?a beautiful ship
kept in most beautiful order. A Gover?
nor's salute of seventeen guns welcomed
the Governor of the State. A fine repast
followed, and the day passed off with the
most admirable feeling. In the afternoon,
the party visited the TJ. S. monitor
" Squando," and gave somo time to the
inspection of that curious vessel and her
machinery. Her commanding officer,
Capt. Lyners, happened not to bo present?
but the other officers wero at their posts,
and showed themselves as courteous as
intelligent. To the Chief Engineer, Eob
erts, and his Assistant, Kay, the party:
was much indebted for tho exhibition of
tho machinery - nor must wo forget to
record our acknowledgments to the Pilot,
Mr. Foster. A day was spent very plea?
santly and instructively, and the party
arrived in the city at an early hour.?
Nothing could exceed the courtesy and
genial welcome of tho officers of these
government vessels. Those of tho "Ke
waneo " seomed particularly assiduous in
showing their respects to our Governor,
and in honor to the Palmetto State.?

A Supper Given to Gov. Orr at the
Mills House.?A supper was given to
Governor Orr, last night at tho Mills
House, says tho South Carolinian, of
tho 2d inst., at which were assembled a
considerable number of his friends. Eve?
rything was prepared in tho best style,
by our excellent host, Purcell ol that es?
tablishment. The supper was recherche
consisting of all that was good,which our
markets could afford. The wines were
particularly fine, and never did company
more thoroughly enjoy the delights of
such an entertainment under ir.oro grate?
ful auspices. Lieutenant Governor Por?
ter, with his usual grace, presided at the
head of tho table. Our excellent Mayor,
Gaillard, occupied tho foot, and their ad?
mirable art for presiding left none of the
party unsatisfied. The company was a
goodly one, and absorbed, some of the
finest intelligences and wits in town. It
is impossible, in the brief limits accorded
us, at thfs late hour, to do justice to the
feast of reason, the flow of soul, tho flood
of wit, and the fund of frolic which re?
lieved the grave philosophy a?:d the sage
debate. Enough that wisdom accommo?
dated herself to society, and society made
herself at home with wisdom. To report
full}' what was said and done is impossi?
ble. We can only afford a skeleton re?
port.
-<K
Old Things.?Givo me old songs, those
exquisite bursts of melody which thrills
tho lyres of the inspired poets and min?
strels of long ago. Every note has borne
on the air a tale of joy and rapture?of
sorrow and sadness. Thoy tell of days
gone by, and tho time has given them a
voico that speaks to us of those who
breathed those molodies; may they be
mino to hear till life shall end; and as
" I launch my boat" upon the sea of eter?
nity, may their echoes be wafted on my
ear, to cheer me on my passago from
earth and earthland.
Give me old paths, where wc have wan?
dered and culled the flowers of friendship
in tho days of " Auld Lang Syne," sweot
cr far, the dells whoso echoes have an?
swered to our voices, whose turf is not a
stranger to our footsteps, and whose rills
have in childhood's days ieflected back
our forms, and those of our merry play?
fellows, from whom wo have parted, and
meet no more in tho old nooks we loved
so well. May the old paths be watered
with heaven's own dew, and be green for?
ever in my memory.
Give mc the' ?Id house, upon whose
stairs wo seem to hear light footsteps,
and under whose porch a merry laugh
seems to minglo with the winds that
whistle through the old elms, beneath
whose branches lio the graves of those
who once trod the halls and made the
chambers ring with glee.
And, oh! above all; give mc tho old
friends?hearts bound to mine in life's
sunshiny hours, and a link so strong that
all tho storms of earth might not break
it asunder; spirits congenial, whose hearts
through life have beat in unison with
their own. Oh, when death shall still
this heart, I would not ask for aught
more sacred to hallow my dust than the
tear of an old friend.

An editor and his wifo wero walking
out in tho bright moonlight one evening.
Like all editors' wives', she was of an ex?
ceedingly poetic nature, and said to her
mate, " Notice that moon; how calm, and
bright; and beautiful! " " Couldn't think
of noticing it," returned tho editor, "for
anything less than the usual rates?a dol
I lar and fifty cents for twclvo lines." ,
Widows .-vs. Maidens.?A Bichmond
paper says that 3'oung men are scarce is
that city, and maidens and -widows'" in
search of husbands very plenty. The lat?
ter seems to be most successful, and the
editor pleading in behalf of tho maidens,
aays: ?
We do not think, in tho view of the
scarcity of men, that it is fair for widows
to marrya second time,until alltheyoung
maidens have secured husbands. The
Legislature ought to attend to this mat?
ter, and protect the interest of the young
ladies, for without the aid of legal enact-'
ments, the widows sre to play the grab
game. They will therefore have to be
restrained by the slating arm of the law,
as was done in the early colonial history
of Virginia, when tho House of Burgesses
passed an act of the very character indi?
cated. It was found that all the young
men imported into the colony were at
once caught by the widows, by superior
wiles and strategems, without any chance
being allowed to tho modest and retiring
young maidens; so the Legislature' took
the matter in hand, and will have to do
so again.

Always Tell the Truth.?The ground*
work of our manly character is veracity,
or the habit of truthfulness. That virtue
lies at the foundation of every word said.
How common it is to hear parents say,
"I have faith in my child so long aah4
speaks the truth. He may have many
faults, but I know he will not deceive. I
build on the confidence." They are right.
It is a lawlul and just ground to build
upon. So long as the truth remains in
the child, there is something to depend
upon; but when truth is gone, all is lost,
unless tho child is speedily won back to
veracity. Children, did you ever tell a
lie ? If so, you are in imminent danger.
Return at once, little reader, and enter
the stronghold of truth, and from it you
may never depart again.
