There's a gamepmuch in fashion—I think it's
called EUCHRE
(Thouffh I never have played it, for pleasure or
%cre.)
In which, when the cards are in certain condi
tions,
The players appear to have changed their posi
tions,
And one of them cries, in a confident tone,
I think I may venture to GO IT ALONE
While watching the game, 'tis a whim of the
bard's
A moral to draw from that skirmish of carda,
And to fancy he finds in the trivial strife
Some excellent hints for the battle of Life
Where-whetherthe prize be aribbon or throne
Tho winner is he who can go it alone
When prcat Galileo proclaimed that the world
In a regular orbit was ceaselessly whirled,
And got—not a con vert—for all of his pains,
But only derision and prison and chains,
It moves, FOR ALE THAT!" was his answering
tone,
For he knew, like tlje Earth, he could "go it
alone!"
When Kepler, with intellect piercing afar
Discovered the laws of each planet and star'
And doctors, who ought to have lauded his
name,
Derided his learning and blackened his fame,
an WAIT!" he replied, "till the truth you
shall own
For he felt in his heart he could "go it alone!"
Alas! for the player who idly depends,
In the struggle of life, upon kindred or friends
Whatever the value of blessings like these,
They can never atone for inglorious ease,
Nor comfort the coward who finds, with a groan,
Thathiscrutches have left him to "go it alone!"
There's something, no doubt, in the hand you
may hold
Health, family, culture, wit, beauty and gold,
Tho fortunate owner may fairly regard
As. each in its way, a most excellent card
Yet the game may be lost, with all these for
your own,
Unless you've the. oo .rage to
f:go
it alone
In '-attic or business, whatever the game,
In law or in !ovc, it is ever tho -ame
In the struggle for power, or the scramble for
pelf,
Let this be your motto—" RELY ON YOURSELF!"
For, whether the prize bo a ribbon or throne,
The victor is he who can "go it alone '."

Any Englishman who desires to
learn what extent of brutal bullying
may be tolerated and encouraged in a
moment of national passion, can do
nothing better than to read over, in a
calm moment, the leading cpJumris of
of the Times and the Mornint} Post,
for the past three or four weeks. W
think with shame, as English journal
ists, of the manner in which, day after
day, these two English newspapers
have been slandering, taunting, in
sulting the government and the people
of the United States. No*language
more foul and bitter could have been
employed by either journal if the very
name of American had been the ac
knowledged synonym of all that is
base, false and cowardly. People talk
here of the New York Herald in terms
of just contempt and detestation.
When has the New York Herald
written anything so coarse, so slander
ous, so vulgar, so false as the Times
and the Moruing Post have written of
the American Government and the
people day after day during the reeent
crisis, with a systematic infamy of lan
guage and baseness of purpose
Had all this been done to intimidate
the Federal Government, to force it
into yielding to our demand, it would
have been sufficiently mean and cow
ardly, but not, perhaps, wholly inex
cusable. It might have aeemed a sort
of brutal extravagance of zeal on be-gone
half of our national interest. But it
had not this excuse. It was not done
to induce the Americans to concede.
It was done with the deliberate pur
pose of goading on the proud and sen-over
sative people of the Northern States
into some passionate defiance of Eng
land, in order that England, being the
stronger, might crush and trample her
free offspring. All that the Times
and Morning Post could do by taunts,
by jeers, by vulgar insult of every
kind, was exhausted in tho effort-*)
provoke the North into a vehement
refusal. It was the hope and the ef
fort of those journals that at the very
least the Federal Government might
be forced into a collision with the peo
ple ot the United States, and the prin
ciple of Democracy be thus endanger
ed.

We, with pretty much all the rest
of the papers in the country, have pub
lished an article in effect that soldier
of the Nineteeth Indiana Hegiment
was tried for deserting his post, was
found guilty and sentenced to be shot.
That he was led forth to execution,
was blindfolded—twenty men stepped
forward with guns presented—the word

word nYe" a reprieve" was shouted
and the execution stayed. The ban

pense had done its worst, and the man

There is not a word of truth in the
I N ©"FF O A S I
The Hartford (Conn.) Press relates
how the opening of the artificial chan
nel known as "Wall's Cut," by means
of which our gunboats were enabled
to pass into Savannah river, between
Fort Pulaski and Savannah, was ac
complished. The Press receives the
fact from a participant
"Wall's Cut, one of the inland pas
sages to Savannah, was obstructed by
the rebels when our forces took Port
Royal, by the sinking of a brig, and
driving three rows of piles across the
passage. The delicacy of the opera
tion of removing the obstructions can
be imagined when we state that the
place was so far within the enemy's
lines that tfiey left it entirely uuguard
edr thinking .that our troops would
have neitfier the "temerity to approach
the channel, nor the ingenuity to re
move the obstructions.
But they did not know the Yankee
daring and skill. Sometime before the
middle of January, the three compa
nies of the Connecticut Seventh that
were left on Hilton Head were sent
down to the lower end of Danfnskie
Island to act as guard to a party of en
gineers who were to attempt to open
Wall's Cut. From the house, which
formed the headquarters of the party,
Savannah was plainly visible, at a dis
tance of eight miles, across the marsh
es and bayous. The line of the river
could also be traced, and the men seen
on the decks of the black little steam
ers that plied between Savannah and
Fort Pulaski, the port holes of which
could be counted.
During the daytime the party kept
concealed. At night strong guards of
soldiers were placed at favorable points
of observation, and the engineers with
muffled oars and hammers, silently
worked till daybreak. This was con
tinued five successive nights before the
work was accomplished. But the
piles were all removed and the old
sunken hulk moved to a position which
renders the passage of the gunboats
easy. So unsuspicious were the enemy
all this time, that our pickets captured
two innocent duck-shooters, who sup
posed they were rowing in rebel wa
ters. It is one of the cteverest achieve
ments of the war."
O N E I N E S O
A Norfolk correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch gives the follow
ing graphic picture of the difficulties
attending the present condition of Con
federate currency Leaning over the
counter, a puzzled volunteer was en
deavoring to add up the change just
paid out by the sleek-haired clerk.—
Before him lay a quantity of mutilated
bills, ragged and dirty pieces of paper,
bits ot card-board, printed checks, a
few copper pennies, milk tickets, post
age stamps, and other interesting spe
cimens of the present outrageous *coin
of the realm.' Over and over again the
puzzled volunteer essayed to count the
pile of villainous currency, and over
and over again he failed to find it sat
isfactory. It was loo much for his rus
tic arithmetic the problem was loo
difficult to solve upon only ten fingers.
The bystanders laughed. The money
was spread out upon the showcase, as
young ladies lay cards upon a table in
telling fortunes, and the soldier stood
before it, searchingly examining every
piece. Do you call this money he
asked, taking up a small yellow paral
lelogram looking very like the brass
card on the top"of a sardine box. 'Do
you call this money holding up an
advertisement of fine Havana cigars—
'and this ?'—a bill for fifteen cents, in
which some weak-minded printer had
raving mad in different varieties
of type. Good for one shave (read
ing slowly) Dick the barber—' 'Do you
call this money?' The sleek-haired
clerk was puzzled also. It'll pass all
town indeed it will, sir.' Once
more the soldier scrutinized the ragged
and incongruous pile, and grasping it
in one hand, soliloquized: So this is
money—money? ha! I call it stuff!
Why, a man might hold his hand full,
and then have but thirty-seven cents
in money.'"

In the early part of last week, a wo
man who resided on Milton street,
suddenly died, and in the absence of
her husband, who is a soldier in the
army, was placed by her friends in a
vault in the Cumminsviiie burying
ground. On Wednesday last the hus
band of the deceased returned home,
to be not only surprised, but severely
shocked by the melancholy news that
awaited hira. Anxious once more to
behold the beloved features of his de
parted wife before her remains were
deposited in the grave, he had the cof
fin opened in the presence of several
friends, when, what was his horror
and astonishment to find she bad

ings of the husband and friends can remaining in one position delight
readily be imagined at the exposure of
Fort Henry, the only fortification on
the Tennestee river of much indoor
tance, is'situated near the line of l£en?
tucky and Tennessee, on the east bank
of the stream. It standatin the bottom,
about the high water mark, fast below
the bend in the river, and at the head
of a straight stretch of about two
miles. It therefore commands the
river for that distance down the stream,
and very little else. The land around it
is little higher than the fort, and a ppr
tion of ft is covered *wjith timber. The
armament of the fort consists of ^ei^ht
32-pOunders, four Impounders, and two
6-ponnders. The 32 and 12-pounders
are heavy guns, apd the 6-pounders
light pieces. Tho Jamison of the fort
consists of two re§&«ents,: hgjtfcfea ifhe
artillerists, and*the whole rebel force
is estimated at 15,000. On the oppo
site side of the river are three hills,
which completely command the fort.
Recently some new fortifications were
commenced on these hilis, where it
was intended to mount some very
large guns and three rifle cannon.

CONNECTICUT DRAFTING.—The se-
lectmen of the various cities and towns
of Connecticut, commenced on the
27th to draft for members of the "ac
tive militia," pursuant to a recent en
actment of that State. By its pro
visions those drafted are liable at all
tims to be called into the service of
the State, "and, in case of war or

Governor, to complv with anv requisi

Tindall, in one of his recent lectures
on light, at the Roval Institution, Lon
don, stated that it had been proved by
computation that light traveled thro'gh
space at the rate of 1^,000 miles in a
second, and that it came to us from
the sun in seven minutes and a half,

THERE was a curious case on trial
at the Unted States District Court, in
Albany, last week. A man and his
Avife, living at the western part of the
State, had separated and lived apart
by mutual consent., During this pe
riod the husband opened a letter writ
ten to his wife. He was arrested for
this at her instigation, several months
since, and the trial took place last
week. Thejury brought him in guilty
The Judge sentenced him to twenty
four hours imprisonment in the county
jail, and a fine of $10.
A GOOD WHIL E TO RUN.—Jeff. Da-
vis has just issued a batch of five and
ten dollar notes, payable six months
after the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy by the United States.
The prospect of the redemption of
these notes is not very cheerful just
now but if Davis could be persuaded
to allow them to read, to be redeem
ed six months after I am hung," they
might find a market.
A SAILOR IX COMMAND.—The rou
tine of camp life is full of bright as well
as of stiff colors. A correspondent of
a paper writing from Cpmp Scott, re
lates that Capt. Mitchell, of the Union
Rifles, formerly Captain of a revenue
cutter, wished his men to file to the
right, and forgetting the regular order
sung out—
•Starboard, boys! I don't know
what in thunder1 you call it on land!'
The file leader being a sailor, the
command was duly obeyed.
