A FADIIVC.   FLOWER.
BT  MRS.  A.  M. Jil7Tn.UI .1,1.0.
PrifHng to death atnl never knowing—
Only the earth more lovely growing,
From dav to day ;
While Spring her rich.-, t gifts are bringing,
And wild birds there welcome singing,
JJ.ueath the sky of May.
The apple trees wilh pearly blooming,
With odor.- soft and sweet perfuming
Tho warm and balmy air :
The soft green leaves above her waving-,
The silver brook the pebbles laving,
Were never hull so  fair.
She sits without her vine clad dwelling,
A.ei deem : new li iu v. i thin her swelling,
As in the I '•■'   and 'lowers ;
lint yet each il,.y her cheek is whiter,
And though her eye grows clear and brighter,
'Tis with another lile than ours.
Or nn her con eh in Iruieed dreaming,
Aii waves ni Id i..   are o'er her streaming,
And .miles upon ber features play,
Shi> lletb : yet our hearts are aching,
We know from off her spirit breaking,
The fetters fall away.
Rhe wonders why the eyes of others.
Grow soft as were her gentle mother's,
Who died so long ago.
And why us all such Kindness render,
Their voices grow so strangely tender,
Vet joys they love her sq,
Drifting to death and „_«•<;_ it_.ri.iu_,—
Only more fair the earth is growing,
In all the Bel da and bowers.
It mat tern not—by man unshriven ;
Yet peace unto that soul is giveu,
By olher baud than ours.
And though onr fainting hearts must . hi ver,
As drifting down death's darksome river,
We Bee her glide away—
Yet when amid the angels -landing,
Who wait to greot her at tho landing,
She shall he e'en as they.
Newspaper Patmej-Tb.—Not a solitary subscribe, owes ua a dollar ; on tho contrary, we owe
them four more .Tournals ; hut we are urging a
plea for our exchanges, some of whom have stopped, others are in a deadly drag, and many more
must fall into the same condemnation, some of
them losing the products of tho labors of a lifetime; and all this because the men whom Ahoy
have done so much to amuse, and instruct and
gratify, withhold the pittance of a dollar or three,
which they could certainly pay, if they had but
the will. Shame, a burning shame, to all such!
The order of payment Is of great practical importance. It is a tenfold economy of happiness
and health to pay ten debts averaging a dollar
each, than to pay one of ten dollars ; for too pcr-
BOQB are gratified, ten holes are stopped, ten chances of being dunned are removed instead of one,
ten annoyances are got rid of instead of one ; for
what is a greater annoyance, a greater jar on a
sensitive mind than to be dunned for a dollar when
there is uot a peuny In the pocket? You feel
mean because you are bo poor, aud meaner still
from the consciousness that your neighbor has
found out that you cannot pay a contemptible dollar, while if yuu know that he really needs it, mortification and regret are added to the catalogue.—
The smallest debts should be paid first, on tho presumption that the smaller the debt, tbe poorer is
your creditor, tho  less his ability to borrow, in
tn calling on you.—Hall's Journal of Health.
Iv„m..uk.a!si.e CoixcniKNCK.—Some years ago, says
tho Pliicerville AfitM, a miner at Gold Hill being
about to leave thc district for a time, buried a purse
of gold at the root of a certain bush. After a
while, another person, with similar intentions, and
wholly ignorant of tho other's deposit, buried
another purse, withiu a few inchcB of thc one already hidden. A few months after, tho first de-
positor Came back, and commencing search for his
own, dug np find took away the other man's money,
believing it to be his own. Soon niter the second
depositor returned, and on examination, was amazed to find the '•bunk broken ;" but digging about,
he found a purso which he believed bis own.—
Neither said anything about the circumstances;
but afterwards, meeting iu lhe Ditch Company's
Olliee, one recognized his purse in the hands o( the
other; ho saw his name written on the inside ol
the purse, as it was turned inside out. A quarrel
ensued as implication of theft was involved. Mr.
Darker interfered, suggesting the possibility of
some misunderstanding, and subsequent explana
tions revealed the foregoing facts. I'm* oi the
purees had contained four ouncca moro than the
other; eueh had weighed his own, before burying
and also after recovery ; the one finding four ounces too much, und the other as much too littb ; but
boto concluded that a mistako had been made tn
tb-"prcvioiis weighing. In final adjustment ofthe
dillieulty, the lour extra ounces were returned to
tbe  owner, ami all  parties drank to friend-hip aud
Pbich of Justice in Russia.—It was eome time
before we were so far righted as to bo able to go
on, end [hen, when wo were making up lost time
and overtook ourfriends with tbeir sledges, numbering probably a hundred,   ill a  long line on   one
.solitary track, it became neeessary-to pass tbem if
we would not  be   kept   at a snail's pane for many
hour*.   But tbe passing was not easy.   Tiie whole
line must draw close to one side, and iu some eases
Into tbe poft snow, and this the men for a long timi
refused to do. It was a difficult job, involving risk:
t b Borne, and the road was theirs its well aa ours.—
The   Russian baron, who was one of us,  at  length
lust nil   temper  ami began to   swear as   only a Bus
sian can.   Being cold and hungry, exhausted and
much shaken, he was anxious to get some shelter,
especially as night was now closing. Oaths having no effect, he lost the last glimmer of polish,
and came out the born Tartar that lie was. Dragging the cudgel from my hand, he began belabor
lug with all his might, the men and horses, (hailing
blows right and left, and compelling the men to
draw up to one side as hist as we came up. For
an boor this lasted, before wc had passed all the
sledges.
'■ There, you canaille .'" he cried as he struck
"Take that! (live the road, you lazy vermin I
Make room you pigs! lama baron; don't you
see? A friend ofthe governor's! Sons of dogs!
Defilement ol the earth! 3_onr cno-ho-. «o bwB_wt*t
and so forth.
This was his gentlest style, while the blows felt
in a shower. Forty or fifty men submitted to all
this; but cowed; they to. It the blows and insults
of this one man as dogs take their master's kicks.
They wcie serfs; he was a baron.
After he had recovered his scat and his breath,
and had wiped the perspiration from his head, he
turned to mo and asked, with an air of national
pride, " What do you say to that, my lord ?"
" I aay tbat, had you struck thc poorest of my
countrymen in that manner, they would either
have boxed you into a jelly, or they would have
tied you to a sledge until they readied the first
town, and then given you up to a magistrate for an
assault."
" Oh, as to that, I should soon get away from a
magistrate.    A little  money would soon do that."
" Indeed ! I can tell you that your whole estate,
with a dozen like it, would not buy oue of our
magistrates."
This assertion only caused an Inctedulous laugh,
and a remark from the baron that he could buy
any couutry magistrate iu Russia for 50 kopecks

Titic Hanoim; Project of thk Rebels.— Col. A.
M. Wood, of the Fourteenth New York Regiment,
.cow a prisoner at Richmond, gives, in a private
letter, a thrilling account of the drawing for the
prisoners at Richmond, who are to stand as a set
off against the condemned pirates at New York
and Philadelphia. He had been at large on his
parole until the 10th of November, when he was
summoned to General Winder's quarters. Ou asking on what business he was wanted, Gen. Winder
answered that he had a very unpleasant duty to
perform, in fact the most unpleasant of his life—
and handed to Col. Wood a paper, which proved
to be Benjamin's order to Winder to draw lots
among Federal prisoners for a victim. The Colonel was escorted from the office to the prison,
in number, drawn up to await thc sad issue. The
names of the officers, on separate slips of paper,
having been put into a tin box, Gen. Winder requested the Hon. Alf. Ely to draw from the box-
one name who should be held in place of Smith,
sentenced at Philadelphia. Mr, Ely, with evident
emotion, drew the fatal stip, and, amid a deathlike stillness, announced the name of Cot. Corcoran. Thirteen other officers, including Col. Wood
himself, were sent to the common jail at Richmond
on thc C-llowiug day. Col. Wood says of the position of himself and his fellow patriots : " You may
rest assured that our fate depends upon that of
tho privatecrsuion. I trust that yon will do all
you can, consistent with your duty to the Government, to relieve those officers who went forth to
fight the battles of their conotry, from a position
of peril and distress.
nutual good fortune.
Thb Stoke Fleet.—Tbe New York Herald of ;
December 2d, says : The work commenced will be
continued until the water channels to all the se
board cities of the South shall have been closed
up. Thc vessels that will not be used at Savannah will be detached to other points, while otbei
smaller vessels, not comprised in the stone fleet
have already beeu used for a like purpose in Oe-
racoke Inlet, on the North Carolina coast. The
rebels will BOOO begin to realize that the wiping
out ofall their seaboard towns, the annihilation of _
all their commerce, and the general distress and
ruin which they have brought upon themseh
make their secession whistle altogether too expeu- ]

You ore going to marry my pretty relation,
My dovel'ke yoaag cousin, so soft in the eyes,
You are entering on life's Bet tied dissimulation,
Aud if you'd he happy, iu season bo wise.
Take my counsel.   The more that in church  you
are tempted
To yawn at fhe sermon, the more you'll attend.
The more you'd from milliner's bills be exempted,
The more on your wife's little   wishes you'll
spend.
You'll be sure every Christmas to send to the rector
A dozen of wine, and a hamper or two,
The more your wife plagues you the more you'll
respect her,
She'll   he   pleasing   your   friend   if she's not
plaguing you.
For women of course, like ourselves need emotion;
And happy  the husband whose failings anord

That she seeks no excitement save plaguing her
lord.
Above all, be csireftil that, nothing oll'end'-. loo,
Your wife's lady'-maid, though she givus herself aire,
With the friend of a friend it is well to be friends
too,
And especially so   when that   friend live3  up
stairs.
Under no provocation you'll ever avow yourself
A little put out when you're kept at the door.
And you   never, I scarcely  need   say. will allow
, vulgar old bore.
However she dresses you'll never suggest, to hor
That her taste as to colors could  scarcely he

Of the rooms in the house you will give up the
best to her,
fAtut you  never will ask for  the   carriage  of
course.
Bring a shawl with you home wheu you come fro:
the club, sir,
Or a ring, lest your wife, wheu you meet her,
should pout,
And don't tly iuto a rage and behave like a cub,
sir,
If you lied that the fire, like yourself has  gone
out.
In eleven good instances out ofa dozen,
'Tis the husband's a cur when the wife   is a cat,
Sbe is meekness itself, my   solt-eyed little cousin,
But a wife has her rights, aud I'd have you
kuow that.
Keep my counsel.    Lite's struggles arc brief lo be
borne, friend,
In Heaven there's no marriage nor giving in

When Death comw  think how  truly your widow
will mourn, friend,
And your worth not tbe best of your friends will
disparage.
The J.-Uci- of Mr. iiussiil.
The following is the correspondence of Mr. Baa-
Bell to the London Times, ol Oct. 31 :
iu the Cabinet. The attitude of foreign powers if
regarded with apprehension, but so thoroughly
determined is the Northern spirit in proseculin;
tliis war that I sincerely believe the men and
money of the States would be expended to the last
to resist intervention by force. It is, however
not the less certain that the President and nh
Cabinet are not indisposed to a peaceiul arbitration ; and, from what I hear, it is not unlikely at
(his moment the propriety of accepting or asking
for the intervention ofa great European potentate
may be under consideration. The conditions of
such a settlement will be difficult ; but, meantime,
success in warlike operations will give the North
a broader basis and a moro commanding attitude.
All the world sighs for such a peace as may se
cure acootiuuance of friendly relations and prosperity to both sections. May it come—qnodfelix
faustumque sit. But come as it may, or how it
may, the arbitrament can never reunite the fraj
ments of the shattered mirror in which the goddess
of American liberty loved to survey her charms.
A standing army, thc suspension of the habeas
carpus, the infringement of the liberty of the
press, confiscations, and proscriptions—these stand
between, and break the shining surface,
GEN. IH'CLKLLAN.
The former manager of the Central Illinois Railway has now taken his degree per saltum, and is
controller of tho vast levies of the Northern Republic. The increase of responsibilities thus assumed is large, as is the increase of his actual
place and pay, for it canuot ho longer intimated or
said that Gen. McClellan is thwarted or opposed
by his superior. At the same time, it becomes his
lot to resist the pressure of popular opinion, aud
to bear the brunt of popular indignation, should
his Fabian policy prove distasteful to thecountry
He asks for patience and confidence, and the de-

lastshe may have both ; but if the tub of the Dan-
aids runs dry he will he found drowned at the bottom. He has surrounded himself with an efficient
staff— devoted personal friends, attached to him
by family ties, or by old associations and connections— and be will b? well and faithfully served;
still, if he should meet with one repulse, or make
one false step In person, you will find hosts of detractors start up against him whom now all meu
delight to honor.
AMITUCAN .KNTI.MBNTS TOWARD KXOI.ANI1.
Let it he well understood that tbe mass of the
citizens of tbe States does appreciate and comprehend the justice and purity of the motives of our
position in this contest ; ami, if they are vindicated
by the end, the alliance between the two countries
will be placed on a broader and surer basis thau it
ever rested upon. It is unfortunate that no more
certain way of gaining the popular ear can be devised than abusing and raving agaiust Great Britain ; but that is in the nature of things. The
favor ofthe heir is readily obtained by the flatterers who accuse the reigning mooarch of harshness
and tyranny. It has been considered wise and
proper in limes past to train the children iu the
belief that England is an insidious and ever watch
ful enemy, and " British this and British that" are
stereotyped phrases in the alphabet of American
history.   They are always doiDg dreadful things,
and plain, honest gentlemen in red coats, white
periwigs, anil small clothes, are described as so
many bloodsucking Beelzebubs breathing fire and
slaughter against poor persecuted patriots, and
burning and killing for thc fun of the" thing, without a spark of honor or duty in the matter, very
much as" Lincoln's hordes''' nre described in the
Southern papers. OI as the "rebel mutilators of
the dead"' are painted by Northern artists.
LW-l/iSfi  IGKORA_fOB   OF AM-.RK..A.
I was amused the other day to see it sla'ed that
the 4th of July was a day abhorred En Great Britain, and that it was always rankling in the heart
of Albion, from infancy to extremes! old age. ft.
is a pity to say, but it is true, that ninety-nine out
of one hundred inhabitants of the Isles are in the
piolouiidcst ignorance of any particular event
connected with that day, as much so, perhaps, us
is Young America of the memories of the 5th of
N-v.mb_r. W.fc_w_»M r.hr.,,1 Rr_moQ8 than
wo do of Madison, and there are crowds Of respectable, well-informed Englishmen, not ignorant or
history, who could not, lor the lives of them, tell
who Alexander Hamilton—I do not allude to the
lato excellent representative of Trinity College-
was, or throw the smallest light on the career aud
actions of Edmund Randolph, and other shining
beacons of liberty, although they could discriminate nicely the characters of the two Gracchi, and
have sound views respecting the cause of tho fall
ol Sesauus. This ignorance is to be deplored, but
it will be removed as the muse of American history becomes matured, and smells more of the
lamp ; it may be ascribed to iudillerence, but it is
certainly not due to any prying, curious, meddling
spirit.       .
There is much to praise in the past and to ad
mire in the present of America. I Bpeak not of
material progress and prosperity, in which natu:
and all the world, as it were, have been giving
her a shove along, and lending helping bauds, but
of tho peculiar qualities developed by the institutions of the country ; and if the pot-house politicians and mouthing orators and elocutionists
could only be Lafayetted for a terra of years, or
restrained from blowing up the body politic with
pride, vain-glory, and bombastic vapors till it has
nigh lost all natural shape and color, the inherent
excellence of these qualities would become readily
apparent, and recommend itself to the good opinion
oi mankind. From this contest, painful and cruel
as it is, tho mass of the nation will probably
emerge purged of much dross and purified iu the
crucible of afiliciioii.
THE S1 -VAT-OS.
A blockade which owes its recognition to cour
tesy—an army held at bay by " rebels"—a capital
all but beleaguered, and cut off from supplies by
sea, where it is mistress of sailors and fleets-
Monroe doctrine nullified—these aro bitter
draughts for a people which, without offense, we
tlie race oi tne earm.   remaps mere are oiuer a
tions not less so, but they have uo way of making
it known. There arc signs ofa disposition growing every day to find victims among the Cabinet,
and to hold ihem responsible for Ibis slate of
things, and the forthcoming tession of Congress is
regarded with anxieiy, although the Unionist
ranks will present a front alniest unbroken, and
the massive form of Breckinridge has gone out
from among them. His,felt lhat honesty in th

At Sea, November 9tb,     j
Capt. Wilkes, U. S. A"., commanding San Ja
einto—Bra—We desire to commuicale to you, by
fins memorandum, the facts attending ODF ar.est
yesterday, on board the British mail steamer Trent,
by your order, and our transfer to this ship.
We, the undersigned, embarked at Havana on
the 7th instant, as passengers on board the Trent,
Capt. Moir, bound to the island of St. Thomas, the
Trent being one of the regolar mall aud passenger Hue of the British Royal Mail Steamship Com-
panv, running from Vera Crux via Havana, to St.
Thomas, and thence to Southampton, England.—
We paid our passage moo.y lor the whole route
from Havana to Southampton, to the British consul at Havana, who acts ub thc agent or representative of the Steamship Company. Mr, Slidell
being accompanied by his family, consisting of his
wife, four children aud a servant, and Mr. Eustis
by his wife and servants,
The Trent left the port of Havana about eight
0_-E
' of  th
pursued her voyage uninterrupted until intercepted by Ui. U. S. -teamer San Jacinto, under your
command, on the day following, (the 8th instant,)
in the manner now to be related.
Wheu the San Jacinto was first observed, several miles distant, the Trent was pursuing the
usual course of her voyage along the old Bahama
or Nicholas channel ; and was about 240 miles
from Havana, and in sight ol Ihe light house of
Foradou Grande, tbe San Jacinto theft lying stationary, or nearly so, about the middle of (be
Channel, and where it was some fifteen miles wide,
as slooe Bbowo us on the chart, the nationality ol
the ship being then unknown. When tlie Trent
bad approached near enough for her II ig to be dis
ttngalshed, it was hoisted at the peak and at the
n, aod bo remalued for a time. No flag was
shown by the San Jacinto.
When the Trent had approached within a mile
of the San Jacinto, still pursuing tbe due oour-e
of her voyage, a shotted gun was fired from the
latter ship acroBS the course of the Trent, and lhe
United States flag"at the same time displayed at
the peak. The British flag was again [mm _JI Italy hoisted, as before, and so remained. When fhe
Trent bad approached, Btill on her course, within
two or three hundred yards of the San Jacinto, a
second B-_>.ti _ gon waa Bred from your ship, again !
across thc bows of the   Trent.   When  the   Trent]
got within hailing distance, her Captain inquired
what was wanted'.' The reply was under, food to
be : " They would send a Imat." Both vessels
were then stationary, with sleam shut elf. A boat
very soon put off from your ship, followed Imme-
dfortely by two other boat., with full crews, and
armed with mu-k.-t. and Bide arm-. A Lieuienant
iu the naval uniloim of ihe United States Navy,
and with side arms, boarded the Trent, and in tho
presence of most of the passengers, then assembled
on the upper deck, said to Captain  Moir  that he
Came witli orders to demand his   passenger   li_t.—
The Captain rernaed to produce it, and formally
protested against any right to visit his ship lor
the purpose indicated.
After some conversation, imparting renewed
protests on the putt oi the Captain against the alleged object of the visit, and on the part of the officer of the San Jacinto that he had only to execute 'ds orders, the later said :" That two gentlemen, naming .Mr. Sliriotl ami Mason, wero Known
to be on board, as also two other gentlemen, naming
Mr. Eustis and MoFarland, and that his oiders
were to take and carry them OQ board the San
Jacinto." It should have been noted that, ou lirst
addressing the Captain, he announced hiin.eif as a
Li en le ii*n t of thc Uuited States steamer San Jacinto.   The four gentlemen thus named being pree*
ent, the Lieuteii'int addressed Mr. Slidell, aud afterwards Mr. Mason, repeating that Ma orders were
to take their, together with Eustis and MeFarlauil-
und carry them on board of his ship. Messrs. Slidell and Mason, in reply, protested in the presence
of the Captain of the Trent, bis olheers and passengers, against such threatened violation of their
persons and their rights, and informed the Lieutenant that they would not leavo the ship they
were in uuless compelled by the employment of
actual force greater thau they could resist, aud
Messrs. Eustis and Mct'.irland united with them in
expressing a like purpose.
That officer stated that ho hoped he would not
be compelled to resort to tho use ol force, but, if
it would become necessary to employ it, In order
to execute his orders, he was prepared to do so.—■
He was answered by the undersigned that they
would submit to such a force alone. The Lieutenant then went to the gangway where his boats
A-ere, the undersigned going at,the same lime (o
their staterooms on the deck next below, followed
by Captain Moir and by the other passengers.—
The Lieutenant returned with a party of his men,
a portion of whom were armed with sidearms, and
others, who appeared to be a squad of marines,
having muskets and bayonels. Mr. Slidell was in
tils stateroom, immediately by, and in full view.
The Lieutenant then said to Mr. Mason thai, having his force now present, he hoped to be relieved
from the necessity of calling it Into actual inc.
Ti)nt gentleman again answered that be would
only submit to actual force gr.eo.ter •hun ha oould
men hy Ins order.., look hold of him. and those
gentlemen at one. went into lhe boat. During
this scene many of the passengers became highly
exasperated, and gave vent to the Btrougest ex-
pres_ions of indignation, seeming to indicate a
purpose of resistance OO their part, when a squad
armed with muskets, with bayonets fl..ed, made
sensible advance of one or two paces, with their
arm3 at a charge. It must be added hen?, omitted
In the course of tho narration, that before the party left the upper deck an officer Ofthe Trent,
Darned Williams, in the naval uniform of Great
Britain, and known to lhe passenger, as having
charge of tho mails and accompanying them to
England, said to the Lieutenant that, as the only
person present representing his Government, ha
felt called upon. In language as strong aod emphatic as he could express, to denounce the whole
proceeding as a piratical act.
Mr. Slidell and Mi-. Mason, together with Mr.
Eustis and Mr. .Ich'arland, agaiust whom force in
like manner had been used, were taken to the. Ban
Jacinto as soon as they entered the boat. When
they reached your ship you received lliein near
the gangway, announcing yourself u.9 Captain
Wilkes, commander of the Bhip, and conducted
them to your cabin which you placed at their disposal.   When the undersigned cams aboard they
found the meu at the quarter., and the guns bearing on Lhe Trent. After some time occupied in
bringing on board our baggage and ellecls, tho
San Jacinto proceeded to tlin northward, through
the Southern Channel, the Trent having been detained from three to four hours.
The foregoing is believed to be a correct n ':rati ve. in substance, of the facte and circumstances
attending our arrest aud transfer (rom the British
lail steamer to the ship undet yourOOmmaod, and
hich, we doubt not, will be corroborated hy tho
