The Star Spangled Banner.
On. y can you see by the dawn'i early light,
Whntso proudly we hail'd at the twilight' last
gleam me.
Whose broad ttripet and bright itara thru' the
perilous fight,
O'er the ramparU we watched were ao gnljant-
ly streaming;
And the rocket' red glare, the bomb bursting
in air,
Gave proof through the night that our Bag wa
till there?
Oh! lay, doe that tar-pngled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave?
On the ahora dimly seen thro' the ruieu of the
deep,
Where the foe' haughty hot in dread silence
reposes.
What lathat which the breeae, o'er the tow'ring
steep
As it fitfully blows, half conceal, half dia
doner: Vow it catches the gleam of the morning's first
. iwam.
Id full glory reflected now chine on the stream,
Tia the star spangled banner! oh, long may it
ware.
O'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
And where is that band who ao vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's confu
sion, A home and a country, shall leave u no more?
Their blood has wanh'd out their foul footatepa'
pollution:
JTo refuge could aave the hireling and slave.
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the
grave.
And the star spangled banner in triumph doth
wave.
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the
brave.
OhI thu be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their lor d home, and the war's des
olatiou; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n res
cued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv
ed us a nation;
Then conquer we mnst, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto "In God is our trust."
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall
wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the
brave.
To the Fremont Troops who leave to-day
at call of the Government.
Brothers! the whole people of Fremont greet
you and give yon their parting blessing. Nobly

What They Think at the South.
of
to
Four New Orleans gentlemen passed
through tbe city on Saturday. They were
totally surprised at the military fever which
tbey found in all tbe Northern States.
They remarked that it was almost universal
ly believed in Louisiana that the whole
North could not raise over 75,000 men.
Tbey are fully convinced now of the fallacy
of this belief. Clevt. Leader,
The Cuban women have a trait of character
ao noble tbat Madame Le Vert declared she
could not refrain from mentioning it: "They
may never speak ill of each other, but always
find some palliation for the errors of their own
sex." This is a good trait in the fair Havanese.
Would that we could conscientiously say as
much of the lair Americauese.
