I'M A FLIRT—I'M \ FLIRT,
Air—"I'm Afloat, I'm Afloat."
Urn si flirt, I'm a flirt, hy no promise I'm lied.
The biill room's mv home, nnd the Polka',* my pride;
1 trip lightly by in [lie s<uil-b;ndin**j- dance,
I win with my smile, and I wound wilh my glance.
I heed not the prudes. let, them say what they will,
. A flirt I am new, and a flit t I'll be Btill;
I ne'er will resign tlie proud sway lhat I hold.
O'er talent and riches, tlie great and the bold.
I'm a flirt, I'm a flirt. I liave suitors in -shoals.
WboYe dying to have me. the poor sighing soul""-;
Uow they fret if I   frowu,   how  tbey  smile   if by
chance
They can just squeeze my band 'twixt their ow

There's De Spoon of the lilues, with ten  thousand
a year,
And dashing Lord Dwadle the young Fusileer,
A Duke or an Earl I eould easily get,
And wear on my forehead a proud coronet.
I should have my fine carriage for making mv
calls;
I should give too, my breakfasts, my routs, aud my
balls;
But no cavaliers nt my feet, then would fall
To hand me ray gloves or to put on my shawl.
Then away with the thought ofa dull wedded liie.
Its cares and its troubles, its slowness and strile;
There's nothing on earth but to roe's cheep asdirt,
Compared to the pleasure ot being a flirt.

Growth' of Timber.— It is a singular fact that I
what were vast treeless prairies in Illinois, twelve
years ago, are now covered with a dense growth
of thrifty young forest trees, comprising various
species of oak, hickory, cotton-wood, ash, &c; so
rapid lias been this change in many localities, that
where some of the early settlers located, twenty to j "
twenty-five years ago, without a tree around Ihem,
they can now cut and hew good building timber a

The following are portions of the fatuous Order
No. 8, referred to so prominently in the report of
the Congressional Committee on tlie Conduct of the

Bome means unknown it has found its way into

directly after the repulse at Fredericksburg, where
so many true patriots were sacrificed and butchered:

Pandora's   Box.—Pandora,   according   to   lhe
heathen mythology, was  the   first female created.
She was formed ofelay, hy Vulcan, at the   request,
o( Jupiter.    As soon as endowed   witb life, all the
gods are said to have vied with each oilier in presenting her   with gifts.    She received beauty and
tbe art of pleasing from Venus, the power ot captivating from tbe Graces ; Apollo taught her how j
to sing, Mercury instructed ber in eloquence, and
Minerva endowed her with wisdom. Hence she
was called Pandora from lbe Greek word pan, all,
and dorou, gift, intimating she w-s all-gifted.
Jupiter finally presented her wilh a box, filled wilh
evils, whicb she was desired to give lo the man who
married her. She was then couducted by Mercury to Promelbus; lie euspieious of deceit, would not
accept the present; but his brother, Epimeteus, less
j prudent, married ber. lie having accepted and
opened the box, there issued from it a multitude of
evils and distempers, which speedily dispersed
themselves all over the earth, and have neversince
ceased to afflict all mankind. He shut tbe box
again in ail baste, but all was gone. Hope alone,
which Jupiter bad compassionately inclosed in his
unhappy gilt, bad uo time to escape, and consequently remained as the one consolation of wretched mortals. Tbis has given rise to tho expression
"Hope lies at the bottom.''

In clearing out tlie remains af an old cliapel in
Warwickshire, En-gland, some time ago, several
bodies were found, which were buried more than
two hundred years ago. The coffin which contained the body ot Lady Audrey L'ei£h, buried in 1040,
w-is opened and the body found embalmed and in
entire preservation, her flesh fjuite plump, as if she
were alive, her face beautiful, her hands exceeding
ly amall and full. She was dressed in find linen,
trimmed all over with point lace, and two rowa o*^
lace were laid fiat on her forehead.    She looked ex-
authority ; for we could hardly believe lhat auy oi
our generals, more especially one with tbe reputa.
tion for modesty of Geueral Burnside, could have
penned such an order. But sure enough, that report we found to furnish evidence not only of the
probability, but of the almost absolute certainty,
that the document is an authentic one; in refer,
ence tothe operations ofthe army of the Rappahannock, the report contains the following curiou:
statement;

Who   are tbe   Peace Democrats ?    They are not
the men whose fanaticism   for the negro compelled
the South (o revolt; nor the suspenders ol the habeas corpus law ; nor tbe office-hunters of the day ;
nor the authors of the   ''conscriplion bill." wbicb is
downright  Ciesftrism ; nor tho elevators of incompetent, scurvy politicians, to place immensely above
their cap-jcity and their virtue in the Army,    in the
Navy, and in tbe State Departments ;  nor ine makers of liie statute by which three hundred thousand
blacks are   to be   made soldiers,  whieh is a lusting
disgrace to   the nation ; nor the contracttnn  of the
shoddy and bad food, who have interest iu tbe continuation   ofthe war;   nor  the intenneddlers   with
the   Army, who  liave taken   from it its  heart, and
spirit;   nor the abettors of further abolitionism as a
cure for rebellion ;   nor   the  besiegers of the well-
disposed President to do acts without any support in
the Constitution ; nor the fellows whose foitunc will
fail when the war is ended; and they are not those,
who,  with a thousand millions  of dollars have not;
effected   the restoration oftlie   Union.    The Peace ]
Democrats   cannot be classed with any of these descriptions  of person.     Who,   then, are  the Peace
Democrats?     They   are the citizens by ivhose advice the  rebellion could   have   been suppressed at
lhe   beginning; who when they found the  contest
opened, supported it in every just manner possible;
wbo, ns   long its  things appeared to be conducted
with   honor and  ability, gave   the Administration
every assistance  in their power;   who, during tbe
whole campaign, forgot not the entire Constitution.
*
who because hundreds of thousands of men have fat
en by disease and in battle, are indignant at the
loss; who, with independent tongues and pens, denounce tht speculation and corruption of tho faction
in authority ; who. are inccssanlly at work to have
all the principles of the Constitution that have been
violated, restored; who, in many instances, would
get place if they would change their coats ; who
are uot animated with tbe spirit of exterminating
the South, for the sake ol the negro ; who. by (heir
fearless patriotism keep abolition tyrnn v in abeyance;
and who, as thus far tho war has been a tremendous
failure, are now honestly convinced that Constitutional peaca alone can restore the Union, These
are the Peace Democrats. Call them Copperheads
—or any oilier ungentle ma niy term you like ; they
are tiie only true lepresentativts of republican freedom to day in this country, and time will vindicate

unjustifiable outrages committed by wicked and
thoughtless federal soldiers. At Beaufort, South
Carolina, tombs were violated. At Holly Springs,

The Looisvii__.f_ Journal o.v Military  Despot-
i.—-Speaking o( the   dispersion   of   the   recent
Deiuoeiatic Convention iu Kentucky,   the   Louisville Journal says: -'II this is the manner in which
we are to be governed, our elections are    &   fflerp
farce.    If a military officer is to be   judge   of   th'
io ten tic us of every public meeting, with the power
to disperse, the only choice tiie people can have  is
tbat of accepting whatever be may decree.     It   is
folly to discuss whether we sliall accept the eman-
oiputiousoheme of Lincoln or not. We had ae well
write and talk about the civil government   of   the
moon.    We are subjugated and crushed;  our Legislature is an empty vaporing ^debating   society;
our courts are mere mustang  courts,  without   the
fuu that enlivens tliem.    ll is   a   worse   condition
than to be an unlimited monarchy.    The  ruler  of
of a kingdom will Snd hia interest in that   of   his
people.    Such authority as Col. Gilbert has exercised baa no such restraint.    The prosperity of the
people of tbia State is nothing to him.     His   obedience to tbe will of his aapeciet is bia only   interest.    Tbe military officers are   in   tbe  position   of
the I'ereiau Satrap or Roman Prefect.    Tbey may
tyrannise, oppress, and enrich   themselves  at   the
expense ofthe provinces, as their predecessors did.
with lhe exception that there is no  tribunal, as  at
Rome to make them disgorge,    ft ia a policy fatal
to freedom, fatal to the Union."
