TRINITY JOURNAL.
Weaverville, Saturday, May 17, 1862.
Fiiist Trinity Volunteers. —We have recoiv
ol a loiter from Orderly Sergeant, W. O. South
nick, of Capt. Crowninshield'a company, dated
Fort Steilncoom, W. T., April 18th. lie is Imp
h state that after live months of flic most miser
able weather, spring lmd opened—at least there
ha<l been two successive days that the sun was
visible. Nearly every stock raiser in that section
it ruined, most of the cattle having died from
starvation and cold ; is informed that at the Hud
son Hay Company's post, Fort Nbqually, nine
niles from Steilncoom, G000 head of sheep had
perished.
The wildest excitement in regard to the new
mines prevails at all the places on Puget Sound,
lie had been to Olympia, and the town was near
ly depopulated ; what few people were left in
tended to go.
All of Company F/s buys were well except Cor
poral Jack Elliott, who lies in a very critical
rendition. They have an excellent physician,
however, and hop -s are entertained of bis recov
ery. They had been unable to get any beef lit
I > eat for three months, mnl die pork and collee
furnished was of an inferior quality.
Sixteen men had deserted since die company
arrived at Steilacoom. John II. liana, who was
n candidate for tlio position of 2d Lieutenant, at
tho election of officers here, but who failed to
get a single vote, d< scried March HI -I. Two days
after he was seen a hundred miles distant, hav
ing gone all the way on foot. Lively traveling,
that. James Pierce, alias “Sailor Jim," and
Win. Hrudv, wi re die next to servo their country
v< miming away, i nos. w'Connor was loss Tui
tunate than tho rest, being apprehended and
brought back. Ho is confined in die guard house,
heavily ironed. Jenks, Weller and Esperon also
deserted, taking their guns with them. The bal
ance of tin* delinquents are men who were picked
up after leaving Auburn. Our correspondent is
of tho opinion dint there are men about Slcilit
coom —enemies of their country—who aid men
to desert.
The men are glad to hear that the companies
lately located at Camp Union had been paid olf;
and are noxious to have the Paymaster in that
section do likewise. It had been six mouths
since they were paid off, and money was badly
in" ded.
Jniix Hcr.i.’s Opinion os American Courage,
and Ixtki.i.iuknck.— The last number of /Hack
wood’s .Ifiigazine, in an article upon the defenses
of Canada, niter expressing (lie opinion that a
war between Great Britain and the Utilted States
will occur by 1803, says :
“ Our British North American colonies stand
face to face with a power which in tho appliance
of modern science, and in tin; courage and eu
durance of its people, is a match lor Hie most
military of European nations. An American
army, when it Hist takes the Held, may be but
litlle better than a rabble, but give it the expe
rience of a year or two, and it becomes aide to
hold its own against the best troops in the world.
So our own people found half a century ago ; and
so, if tbo storm which we are now contemplating
does not burst until our people may lind
again.”
In like manner, Earl Ilussci!, in his speech on
tiie blockade, in Parliament, made this frank
though tardy acknowledgment :
“ No otic will say that there are no judges in
America rjuite competent to decide questions of
international law—judges who have inherited
the precepts and doctrines of snob men as Chun
cellar Kent and Judge Story—quite competent
to pronounce judgment according to law, and
who, I believe, would not have departed from lbe
in tlci" decisions in such cases.”
The Ports .Modernized— Cuirper. —
Oil, for a lodge in some vast wilderness,
Some boundless contiguity of shade,
Where butcher’s bills and linkers’ are unknown,
Or where those rascals usk not to be paid ,
Where ladies lind themselves in hoard and dress,
And even shad uml herring have no hone ;
Where Abolitionists are decent met),
And even editors abjure the pen ;
Where tailors dun not and are never done, [run,
And where the common streams with green seal
Instead of water—where no hoops are found,
Save when they clasp tho whisky barrels round.
Oh! what a world were that —for blest that
■State is
Where beef, bread, beer and widows arc got
gratis.
A Misnomer.—A paper, printed, published and
circulated up in Oregon, under the name anil
siyle of “ The Oregon Union** found its way
into our sanction the other day. ft is one of tli"
dirtiest HoC'-sb' sheets that we have yet struck,
and an injunction should be put upon theprnpri
etors d. s crating the name of “ Union” to such a
vile purpose. —Jteil llluff 1iitliptiidinl .
That's a fact. We received a copy of the
nasty, traitorous tiling, but didn’t keep it long.
Wliut disposition did you make ol yours, liisbop.
Mrs. Nancy Smith bas been eleotcd mayor or
mayorce ol O kaloosa, Iotva. There was but one
candidate, wbo, being unpopular with the voters,
they nominated Mrs. Smith in fun. and to their

Tlic Ferry of P*onI«.
[An ancient classical legend 1ms it that the
I souls of the departing were ferried over to the
invisible world from the shores of Gaul.]
! The wind rages loudly, the ocean rolls,
Ferry ns over the terry of souls ; ■,
We are dissatisfied, longing for rest,
! Weary of sorrow, and famine, and pest;
Weary of chains, -and of sceptres and thrones,
1 Of human unhappiness, fortunes and moans.
Ferryman, rise, though the water swilt rolls,
Ferry us over the ferry of souls 1
We come from the land of the classical Greek,
The language of Athens is that which we speak ;
Ami Romans come with us who held, in their day,
With eatjle like talons, the wprld its their prey.
And here, too, the Frank and the Vandal demand
To be ferried this night to the dark spirit land.
Ferryman, Imste, though the billow high rolls,
Ferry us over the ferry of souls !
Men there tnay be with us who nobly have died,
Who in life as in death were their countrymen's
pride.
Poets are here, too, their harps all unstrung.
Whoso words came forth glistening like pearls
from their tongue.
Statesmen of wisdom and scholars with lore,
Stand by tills water and sigli on this shore.
Ferryman haste, time nor tide now controls,
Ferry us over the lorry of souls 1
Meanly is here, reft of lover and shrine,
Queens of a long and illustrious linn;
Hands that have clutch’d fast the sword and the
crown ;
Ryes that have startled the world by their frown;
Minds that have held mighty nations in thrall,
Yield them to l’luto’s unpitying call.
Ferryman haste, ere the daybreak unfolds,
Ferry us over the ferry of souls!
Far have we come to the borders of Gaul,
Seeking the transport which waits for us all :
Out with the beat, though the sea and the sky
Meet and embrace in a wild ecstucy.
Storm cannot harm us, nor waves overwhelm ;
We need now no Tvphy a in stand at the helm ;
Nor tideway nor current our voyage controls,
Ferry its over the ferry of souls!
Forth, then, hoconielh, the ferryman bold,
Full well lie kmiwelh his duty ol old ;
Nought ouretli lie for tlio water or sky,
The sound of the footsteps hurrying by,
Or voices low murmuring in grief and despair,
Or horrible laughter thickening the air;
Rooseni d the fast, the damp cordage unrolls,
We’re ferrying over tile ferry of souls I
Swiftly wo glide o'er the water's dark blue,
Passengers, Icrrymun, master and crow ;
Faster and (ml t w-e hurry it long.
Paler and paler the shadowy tbroeg
Seem, as the mist land more closely appears,
lint the grim steersman exult* ns he nears.
Ferryman, land us! Coutchl with your tolls,
Tis Hie last coin we can glVe for our souls.
Tin* Old Hv !».'>«»I lloiixr.
Who (lorn not remember tin; old school house In
which his hoyish hours worn passed? Who can*
not look hook l<> niiitiy it school tiny frolic, Hint
with nil our supposed wisdom nod increased
gravity, we cniiuot yet. help smiling lit mid
wishing it were to do over again?
Well do I remeinher my (list visit after some
yonrs id’ city life to the old roughcast, stone
school house of my youth. It stood in the angle
forrnil by the meeting of two pieces of wood,
under whoso grand old trees wn whiled away
h ippy hours. That same angel, however, mused
a suction of lie 1 atmosphere in that direction
that intuit! it no dilUculty to nti- ■ the wind there
tit any time; and although delightful in summer
was any thing lint the same ((Utility in winter,
and procured the christening of our temple of
knowledge “Wind (lap Seminary.”
lint to my visit. Vi s there are the old benches,
wit It ninny a nnmu carved on them hy the truant
jack-knife. Them is my very seat, with the big
hole cut through the desk, lor which I caught a
tremendous Hogging. Tint old water pail sitting
in Hie window sill, that we used to cany on a
stick so often, and that we let. fall time and ugain
in order that we might return for more, and thus
keep from study longer. And out doors are the
woods and the old tree-’, where we used to play
“ 11 ■ it ■■ id Town,” “I! iso Halt,” “Wolf in I’en,”
and that grandest of ail school games, " Shindy,”
or ns vulgarly called, “ Driving the I’ig it)),”
because, like a pig, tin; ball was suppos' d to he
so contrary it never went the way you wi lied it.
Ah, I can see your familiar laces, hoys its you
stand round with your clubs in your holes wuleh
iog George I!, drive up the ball towards the ket
tle, while you hit elicit oilier and him sly digs on
the shins, ami declare you “ didn't in an to von
struck at the hall.” Vi-s, big Joe, ami lat. Hill,
valiant Dan, and spry Ned, I see your laughing
faces us you stand on tlnr corners, ready to plug
some unfortunate chum if lie don't keep HD eye
open. And there coiii'-s down the road old
“ Andrew Jack.” who is lnino, hut is nevertheless
always ready for a game of corner ball, pud is
one of the best shots in the crowd, and the best
imturcd hoy in school. Mow he came hy the
name old I know not, but Old Andrew he was
always culled, and he always came to call when
there was any Sport on hand. And there, on the
oilier side of aline, is the girls’ play-ground —
forbidden spot to us big buys —but bib by, II itlie,
Ada. till, I can yet see you in your stone and
brush play-houses as you raked your pieces of
china together with all the care of old house
wives, ami hid it in ono corner until next play
spi ll for fear some naughty girl or rude hoy
would hook it. lint ulus ! it is all changed, and
1 am here dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, when
1 ought to lie going home to dinner.
Once more, after the suns of Western wilds
had browned my cheek, and the cares id matt
hood wrinkled my blow, did I visit •' Wind Gap
Seminary.” Ilut alas ! how changed. The
house was there, the old whitewashed walls, the
old window shutters propped open hy a rail, ami
the desks, carved uml cut, remaiiieil. Hut where
wero the familiar luces ? All, all changed. In
the curly headed youngsters 1 could truce hy
family resemblance where some of them be
longed ; but not one could 1 call by name.—
And the old trees, oh, sacrilege and desecration,
the almighty dollar has prevailed 1 The woods
were needed for the all devouring iron horse, the
land for the all devoured wheat amt buckwheat
—'twas nil gone. The children wero now con
fined to a mere calf-pun, fenced oil' in front o( the
school-house, and the days of gat pevittc swings
and foraging expeditions tor chesnuts and hicko
ry nuts were gone tor ever, never to return. A
lew moments before and I had wished to he a
schoolboy again, but the .sight of barren fields
and torpid skies drove buck the thought, ami
from that moment 1 seemed severed from the old
familiar spot, even as the woodman's uxu had
severed the time honored trees.
It is torture to enemies to return their injuries
with kindness.

From (In' Sacramento Union of May RtU—a«l
vices to the 7tli :
Gen. Holler has occupied Mew Orleans, and
the restoration ot the old ting has been welcomed
with such demonstrations ot joy that there is no
fear of the I'uioti standard being again supplanted
In that quarter by the ensign of rebellion Tl«»
gunboat fleet went up the river immediately after
their guard over the captured city had been re
lieved, visited Huton Rouge the capital of Louis
iana, meeting with no opposition, and passed
Foil Adams, in Wilkinson county, Louisian;!,
opposite the lied River Landing. They arc not
likely to encounter the enemy until they reach
Vicksburg on the east bank of the river, I! Id mites
above New Orleans. Here there is a blolf 21>■ >
feet in hight, and the rebels are reported to have
I'ortllled the position. If the objects of McClellan
he attained, the termination of Ihe struggle in
Virginia will be virtually the end of tin 1 rebel
lion. We observe that M. Mercier, the French
Minister, has gone to Richmond to warn the rebels
that. France and England cannot countenance a
guerrilla warfare or a wholesale destruction of
crops. This is a clear intimation to tbo enemy
that having been fairly and completely beaten at
all points, they are expected to silOOtimb.
From the Union of May Huh—advices to the
