PICKING HOPS. On the hills of old Otsego, i'y her brightly gfeamio«E lake, Where ttfe Bound oi hunt and hunter Sylvan echoes love to wake, Where the wn._-.ih. of twining verdure Clamber to tbe sapling's tops, 1 sat beside sweet Minnie Wilder, l_ th - great Bel. picking hops. Then tbo clusters green and golden II oiling in her fiunny hair, II.df afraid, vet very earnest, Looking iu her face so fan- ; Speaking low, while Squire Von Lager Talked of past and coming crops, Said I. " Minnie, should a soldier Slay ut home here picking hops. " While the countrv, torn asunder, Calls IOC men like me to light, And the voice of patriots pleading Asks for hands to guard the right; White from hearts of heroes slaughtered Still lhe life-blood slowly drops, Can I—Khali I. slay beside you. Minnie, darling, picking hops V Very pale the cheek was growing, And the band 1 held was cold ; But ihe eye was bright and glowing, While my troubled thought was told; Yei her voice was clear and steady Without sighs, or tears, or stops, When she answered, speaking quickly, " 'Tis women's work, tbis picking hopa. " .Men should be where duty calls them, Women stay at home ami pray For lhe gallant absent soldier, *' Gravely spoken, darling Minnie !'' Then I biased hor golden locks, Breathed anew a soldier's promise, As we sat there picking hops. " Now I go away to-morrow. And I'll dare to do or die, Win a leader's straps and sword, lovo, Or 'mid fallen heroes He. Then, when all of earth is fading, And ihe fluttering life-pulse slops, Still 'mid thoughts of home and heaven, I'll remember picking hops." E. B. the citizen, only by law. In thie Republic no citizen cau be deprived of his life, hia liberty or his property, " without due process ut law." He may he made to part with all three by tbe power of tlie State, but that power must see it, that in ils exercise it does not overstep the limits in which it is appointed to move. It it does it becomes despotic, and then, among men who know their rights, resistance follows as naturally as light succeeds to duikue.s. If hy a single mandate of any Cabinet of- tlcer, iu a Slate loyal tothe Union as this has been, and when the courts of law arc open, you or I may without cause shown, aud alls of a Government the same mandate, only altered in it: sdlately to thi An O'ku True Picture.

Tho right to have our lives secure agaiust inteference without " dife process of law," is equally guaranteed in the same clause that protects our liberty and our property. Do you know, my friends, how old these privil- gc. are? They cau trace their lineage back to the days of the mailed clad Barons; and these feet have stood revereully upon the lawns of Run- nymede, where those privileges were born more Ihan six hundred years ago. They were extorted by the rebellious Barons, then and there, from the tyrant John, and uttered in glowing language of ages, is still sounding in our ears uh tbe sweetest noto that ever came from the clarion of freedom. Listen to its music, strong and sweet, ns it sounded in the solemn midnight, centuries ago " JVb freeman shall be seized or imprisoned, or deseized or outlawed, or in any way destroyed, nor will we go upon him or send upon him, except by the judgment of his peers or by the laws of the land." Our fathers caught the inspiring strain, and it was prolonged in those sonorous touea, sounding forth from our glorious Constitution : " JYo person shall be deprived of life, I liberty or property, without due process of law." i Cherish, my friends, these great rights thus guar- teed to you iu your Constitution ; uever surrender them ; never allow them to be compromised or gainsaid, ior they constitute the keystone to the arch of freedom. Once destroyed, and the sun ol liberty is extinguished in your sky, aud tin k and horrid night of despotism will wrap you in its gloomy embrace forever. We call that government Iree, which uot only shelters its subjects from the injustice of the many, but the tyrauy of the one or the few. We as a people, are free, because from au ancient time there came laws written as wilh the miger of lhe Highest—free, because to us. in this day, it was thought conscience and opinion were free. It is a great thought that the laws of the land recognize there is a pari about every man's affairs so sacred, that It mus uot lie crossed by inquisition or inquiry. Thi personal freedom of the citizen from all illegal ar reals; the freedom ofhis hearthstone Irom arbitrary Invasion, and the freedom ofhis conscience from all manner of restraint, these constitute the Urim and the Thutnim, the breast-plate of light tuid truth round the heart of the American citizan in the time of trial and danger ; and when he demands rights tbat have not beeu conceded to him, my part, come weal or come woe, will' demand at the hands ol the legal tribunals of my country, full redress for all tho wrongs and outrages that I have been made to Buffer. There afe dastardly wretches in your midst, who, I understand, have been Instrumental in this arrest, aud for whom I have no regard and utterly despise. Tbey will be sheltered by their owu insignificance; but there are others who shall be made to answer before th ^^^^^^^^^ tiou of all party- l'or the sake of the Union, makes the following S. remarks: ~i "Yon will find the trading politician at all | public gatherings, ready to preside or to make a speech.

J.) Herald. 1 Reception or Col. Jamw. W. Wall at llui- llngton. Tbe release of Col. Wall from Fort Lafayette and his reception on Friday night, when here- turned to his family, his home and numerous friends, produced a rejoicing exceeding everything ever before known in this city. Notwithstanding the disappointment ofa large number of people who had assembled at Mount Holly to come by railroad, and from the severity of a heavy storm which made it impossible for hundreds of others to leave Beverly, Bridgeborough, Rancocas, Columbus, Johnstown, Jacksonville and other villages in our county, and so with many others in Philadelphia and Bristol, and many hundredsof our own citize were thua prevented from attendance, there w no less than one thousand persous at tho depot awaiting his reception. Aa the Colonel stepped upou tbe platform, the dense mass greeted him in the fullness of their hearts. It was no strained effort on the part of family, for tbe cheers of welcome came long, loud. and free. He entered a carriage in waiting, preceded by alarge transparency bearing these words: •'James W. Walt, the defender of the Constitution. Welcome Home," with the American flag. The carriage was encircled by a large number oi three hundred men. As the procession moved along, Main street was filled with men, women and children, with almost continued cheering until arriving at his residence. Here be was received by thirty-four little girls, emblematic of the thirty-four StateB, dressed in white, bearing (lowers in profusion, forming two l'uiea from the carriage to the door ofhis house. As the Colonel reached his door, our Burlington Cor-1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ net Band poured forth its notes ol" Sweet Home." [tribunals lhe law has erected for the redress of After long cheers had subsided, be thus addressed the public : My heart ia full to-night—so full that I can scarce give adequate expression by the deep emotions that crowd upon me as I look upon this heart' felt demonstration. What a striking contrast to the melancholy scene, hardly a fortnight ago, when I was dragged ruthlessly from these steps, torn mercilessly from ths clinging embraces of the dear ones at home, and cousigned to the tender mercies of the brutal military despotism that rules within thc gloomy wa!l? of lhe American Bafitile- This enthusiastic reception, my friends ; these shonts of welcome ; these bright and happy faces ; the beautiful liowera strewn iu my pathway by such fair bands | the cheering light of those flaring torches, all unite to convince me how lovingly yon bear me in your hearts. Such a reception is the more gratelul to ine because it wears a doule signifi- caucy. It assures me, in the first place, tbat you. my neighbors and friends, among whom I have gone in and out lor many yeara, deeply sympathise wilh men in the wroftgs and outrages to which I have been subjected. Iu the second place it is a manifestation as strong as "'Holy Writ," that you believe I am wholy innocent of any charges of disloyalty or any imputations upon my fair fume as a constitution-loving citizen. Charges! ___._:___•> wi,. mv friends, would you believe through the long and tedious days of my imprisonment, up to this joyful moment when I look out, once more as a freeman, over these numerous kindly gladsome faces, now upturned to greet and iheer me, I have not been able to learn what those charges are '. I have in vain demanded of the Government the nature of the charges, and claimed the constitutional privilege of being informed of the nature and cause of thc accusation, and to Ire confronted with the witness against me. But up to this hour the grave could not bave been more silent. Great Huaven! is il | possible that such thiogs can be under a Constitution whose boast it bas been that it was for the protection of the inalienable rights of men agaiust all oppression. If this boast has been in vain then it has " but a name Sa live—an outer seeming lo beguile and deceive—a Sodom apple, a hectic Hush, painting the cheek upon which it preys.' The Liberty I claim under that Constitution, is not the liberty of Licentiousness—it. ie the liberty united wilh law, liberty sustained by law, liberty regulated by law ; and that kind of liberty is guaranteed to every man, high or low, proud or humble, rich or poor, under all exigencies, whether in peace or war, and whether that w_r is foreign, or the State bein the fearful throes of civil strife. If the obligations we enter into to part with a portion of onr absolute rights when we assume lhe bonds of civil . ociely, be not complied with, the State must enforce her remedies agaiust Volcanic Euuitios on tub Red Sea.—Mr. Chaa._Beke writes as follows in the London Times: " Iu tbo Times of June 20 and 21, you allowed me to give publicity to au accouut of an eruption of Djebel Dubbeb, a volcano near Edd, on the Red Sea. I have now to request that you will record iu like manner a few additional particulars furnished to Captain Flayfair by an officer who recently visited Edd. Tbe eruption of tbe 8th of May is said to bave destroyed 175 human beings, besides immense flocks and herds. The whole ground is covered witb a thick layer of volcanic ashes, which in most places completely cover up the pasturage. Neither stones nor lava—in fact, nothing but aabes seems to have been ejected.— The mouuiain is now quiescent. This eruption appears to resemble in character that of Vesuvius iu the year 70, when the elder Pliuy lost his life. 10 N 10 N 10 N 10 N 10 N 10 ^ 10 N 11 N 11 X 11 N 11 N 11 N 11 K 11 N 1-2 8 13 N 13 N 14 N us 16 N 10 Nr 17 N 17 N 18 N 18 N 18 H 19 N 10 x 11 x -2 X 2 X 2 X 2 X 3 X 3 X 3 N 3 X -juries, I kuow that there are many pseudo patriots in your midst whose selfish regard for their personal safety bas kept them closely at home to spit tbeir spite and venom upou other meu, and with whom, as Aristophanes describes tbe Athenians, " No matter what the offense, Be't great or small, Thc cry Is treason and conspiracy." These unprincipled politicians m-e waiting for chances when they can fasten like vampires on tho flanks of the government, and suck substan;:i from this war and not death. In order to iugrati ate themselves with the Administration, they spend their time, like noxious spiders, in sp webs, whose threads are spun from their own fabricating brains, with which to catch and en- angle the unwary-. Let tho Administration beware of these Johny Hooks, these shoddy patriots —they are enemies to thia Government. Remember that though liberty may be crushed to the earth for a time and wear the garments of heaviness, that the time must come when she shall assert her supremacy once agaiu, put on her glr> rious apparel, gird bur sword upou her thigh, and make oppression and disloyality take refuge in their dens. Have an abiding faith in the stern truth expreased in those glorious lines of Bryant : •'Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again— And dies among her worshippers." I bid you a most affectionate good night. At the close of Col. Wall's remarks, the vast crowd responded with hearty cheers, aud the band wilh appropriate music. A doctor relates an accouut of a gentleman in Barbadoes who waa in tbe h .bit of daily intoxica- aud bad constructed a tub, wilb a pillow to accommodate the head, and wheu in this state was placed therein, and the tub was tilled with cold water, iu whioh he reposed for two or three hours aud would then arise refreshed and invigorated. When Bia wife or family required him ihey would wake him up by taking out the plug and allow the wat to escape, when he would pleasantly complain of the " loss cf his bed clothes."

Col Peard, Garibaldi', Englishman,'' eported to have said ol rifle shooting in-war : ■'Mind, if ever you go rifle shooting, use your rifle scientific manner.

A Combat op Qijkkn- Bees.—Look, now, at th armies as Ihey approach to face one another, but not to fight. Single combat between the soverei is the order of the day, and the assembled armies arc merely interested spectator-, with their fore, legs drawn beneath the body. Thc rival sovereigns advance and lall upou tach other with ungovernable fury. They seize each other with their jaws by the neck, head aud legs. By rapid vibrations ol tbeir wings they endeavor to confound one another. They butt their heads together, they grasp tirmly with their legs, and seek, by every art and sleight to filing each other. They uusheath tbeir stings like swords, aud strive to reach the vulner able parts between the rings of the body, at the neck, or tbo constricted parts that connect the chest und the abdomen. This Is a mortal duel- deadly sword play. Not a spectator puts forth his leg. A general hum attests tbe excitement, or, perhaps, a general stillness. At length the fatal thrust 19 giveu ; the sword penetrates between the rings and enters the vital parts.

When thc Jenny Lind was in the zenith of its short-lived splendor, Fairchild, we b.lieve, was its scenic painter ; aud he lived lo sea many of the players who trod its boards at lhat time, and who subsequently "strutted their brief hour" at the 'Vldelphi," Eyerard's " Varieties," tbe old " Am. rican," the " San occupied in this Way for some lime, when the shark was observed to rise at some distance from them, still wilh the body of the hapless man in his mouth, shaking it, as is described, as a dog would a rat. The mute of the vessel armed himself with a boarding pike, and rowed toward the spot, and the shark was so much occupied with hit* victim that ho allowed himself to be stabbed several times before again disappearing. Thinking the animal had received his death wound, the boat returned to the ship, but scarcely had she arrived, alongside, when the shark reappeared as before. A harpoon was now taken into Lhe boat, and the Bhark again allowed himself to be approached sufliciently near lo be struck, when he agaiu disappeared. Line was now paid out, and tho boat was towed some distance, till assistance arriving, the monster WM killed by repeated .tabs of the lance. Most of thc contents of his maw were disgorged while being hauled iu, on being opened, some I'ragmenls which were unrecognizable, and an eight pound tin of preserved meat, were all that was lound. Tho Bhark was of the species known as the ground shark, and about ten feet in length.

AH those places of amusement, and many others, are among the things ol the past. They have been destroyed by fire, or re-eon^irucled. until nothing is left of tin m save the mimes of two and the foundations of a third. Tlie old "Adelphi," on Dupont street, between Clay and Washington, was burned many years age-,and the spot where it stood is a Chinese desolation. Under the management of Baker, in 1852-3, it was the most aristocratic place of amusement in thc city. Mrs R.feer, Mrs. Judah, Mrs. and Miss Pt-lbj, Thorn, n, Duly, Rand, Smith, Vinson and others of note, were ofthe permanent stock. Leaving the "Adeluhi," Baker leased the " American," and iu a few months laid the foundation of the snug little forlune he now possesses in the brick building near the corner of Clay and Montgomery street1"-. But the " American,1' and San Francisco Hall* gave way to more commodious structures, and the "Metropolitan*' crumbled beneath the brand ofthe incendiary.— In '50 and '51, Sacramento was the theatrical centre of California ; and fhere, on the boards of the old " Tehama," under the management of Mrs. Kirby, (uow Mrs. Stark,) Stark achieved his first substantial triumphs in the profession. II we mistake not, Fairchild was lhe scenic arlist ol the "Tehama" at that time. On the completion of the " American" and *'Metropolitan," the dramatic prestige ol Sacramento waned, and finally perished with the ''Tehama." leaving San Francisco the home and patron of the art in California. In fact, nothing could resist the competition of Mrs. Sinclair during her management of thc "Metropolitan" in 1853. Her career as lessee of lhat magnificent temple was bold, reckless and extravagant. She engaged, at almost fabulous prices, every attraction that nrcsented Eiaalf aaA tor weeks in succession gave, as a regular en fertaiment, the tragedies of Murdoch, the operas ofMadame Bishop, ai:d the ballets ofthe Rons- setls. We draw from memory, yet venture we are not far estray. But we are digressing terribly. When we speak of the theatrical doings of the past, memory is so active, that the pen is with diffiei-illy restrained. We commenced with the intention of making some mention of lhe old professional associates ol the departed painter, but must defer tbe (ask ; there is too muclTmatter iu it ior a local item.—Herald, murdered a young and handsome woman iu Sacramento in cold blood, because she would not listen lo his proposals, was sent by a .oft jury to the State Prison. He had played crazy there, was sent to the Asylum and escaped. It is about time this crazy convict business was played out. Fraud or Treachkry ''.— The Chijago Tribune publishes the following paragraph editorially : We have before us three cartridges brought to ua from Annapolis by a Iriend. They are a portion of the ammunilion for Enfield rifles served out tn Burnside's forces for the great expedition- To the eye they are alike in appearance, and the slight difference in weight could not instantly be detected. But lhe difference in weight is lhat one of the three contains not a particle of powder. A prominent officer of the expedition told our Informant that this was about tho proportion throughout tho entire Enfield cartridges—one third of them carefully put up without powder. Now there is a case for investigation. Was it fraud of treachery that seeks to palm off upon our brave troops, on the eve of an expedition, sham cartridges? Let us bave an explauatiou, Secretary Stanton. The New York correspondent of lhe Philadelphia Inquirer says .—" The two Oi leans Princes, while in towu, were almost nightly the guests of some prominent citizen or other up town. It is said lhat they have resigned the places they have recently held on General McClellau's staff, and are making preparations lor returning to Europe. I cannot ascertain that any reason is assigned for this proceeding, apart Irom the apprehension of the Prince de Joinville that the United States is about to be embroiled with foreign powers, and j that it is not desirable that his tienhew. __m*L3 >"■ in a position which might necessilale them, eveu In appeanuico, to take up arms against France, or an ally of France. This is a rather einj alar state ment for the Prince to make, uuder lhe circumstances, but I have tho best reasons for knowing that it is not more singular than true." J.nliji- from Mi'YK.t.

Los Angeles, Dec. 27th, 1861. Prospects of Kio Vista.— Rio Vista was once a very lively and flourishing settlement on the west bank of the river, at the mouth of the Sacramento. During tho late floods it was completely drowned out, every building in the settlement being carried away. Since then, some of its former residents have made a settlement about two miles below, where there are now erecting some twenty temporary dwellings. As the old site is virtually abandoned—the lots being offered at mere nominal prices and no takers — tho new locality will undoubtedly be the future Rio Vista. It will he, Decessartly, an important point as the enib-ircadero on the river for supplies to the country coutiiuous. The land being high at that point tho location is much better adapted for the purposes of trade than tbe lor mer Information has been received at Fortress Mon- oe, Irom New Orleans, that Mr. Jauu's F. Otis, one of the editors of the New Orl.anB Picayune, had been placed under arrest lor uttering seditious language. Mr. Oils is a native of Newburypnrt, Mass., and was connectid with ihe press oI New York anil Philadelphia for many years before going South. The First Saw Mill.—The old practice, in aking boards, was to split up the IogB wilh wedges, aiid, inconvenient as the practice was.it was no easy matter to persuade the world lhat tlie ihing could be done In a better way. Suw mills were first used in Europe in the fifteenth century ; but as lately as 1555, an English Ambas sador, having seen a saw mill in France, thought it a novelty which deserved a particular description. It is amusing to see bow the aversion to labor saving machinery has always agitated England The first saw mill was established by a Dutchman in 1.03, but the public outcry against the new faugled machine was so violent that the proprietor was forced to decamp with more haste than ever did a Dmcfiinan before. The evil was thus kept out of England for several years, or rather rratlons ; but in 1698, an unlucky timber merchant, hoping that alier so long a time, the public would be less watch Inl for il* interests, made . rash attempt to construct another mill. The guar- i of the public welfare, however, were on Ihe alert, and a conscientious mob at once collected, aud pulled lhe mill to pieces. One of the most striking evidences of the march ol commerce at Port Royal is seen iu the {Jolted Slates Post ORice. This institution is under tbe careful and efficient administration of Joseph II.

PICKING HOPS.
On the hills of old Otsego,
i'y her brightly gfeamio«E lake,
Where ttfe Bound oi hunt and hunter
Sylvan echoes love to wake,
Where the wn._-.ih. of twining verdure
Clamber to tbe sapling's tops,
1 sat beside sweet Minnie Wilder,
l_ th - great Bel. picking hops.
Then tbo clusters green and golden
II oiling in her fiunny hair,
II.df afraid, vet very earnest,
Looking iu her face so fan- ;
Speaking low, while Squire Von Lager
Talked of past and coming crops,
Said I. " Minnie, should a soldier
Slay ut home here picking hops.
" While the countrv, torn asunder,
Calls IOC men like me to light,
And the voice of patriots pleading
Asks for hands to guard the right;
White from hearts of heroes slaughtered
Still lhe life-blood slowly drops,
Can I—Khali I. slay beside you.
Minnie, darling, picking hops V
Very pale the cheek was growing,
And the band 1 held was cold ;
But ihe eye was bright and glowing,
While my troubled thought was told;
Yei her voice was clear and steady
Without sighs, or tears, or stops,
When she answered, speaking quickly,
" 'Tis women's work, tbis picking hopa.
" .Men should be where duty calls them,
Women stay at home ami pray
For lhe gallant absent soldier,
*' Gravely spoken, darling Minnie !''
Then I biased hor golden locks,
Breathed anew a soldier's promise,
As we sat there picking hops.
" Now I go away to-morrow.
And I'll dare to do or die,
Win a leader's straps and sword, lovo,
Or 'mid fallen heroes He.
Then, when all of earth is fading,
And ihe fluttering life-pulse slops,
Still 'mid thoughts of home and heaven,
I'll remember picking hops." E. B.

without " dife process of law," is equally guaranteed in the same clause that protects our liberty
and our property.
Do you know, my friends, how old these privil-
gc. are? They cau trace their lineage back to
the days of the mailed clad Barons; and these
feet have stood revereully upon the lawns of Run-
nymede, where those privileges were born more
Ihan six hundred years ago. They were extorted
by the rebellious Barons, then and there, from the
tyrant John, and uttered in glowing language
of ages, is still sounding in our ears uh tbe sweetest noto that ever came from the clarion of freedom. Listen to its music, strong and sweet, ns it
sounded in the solemn midnight, centuries ago
" JVb freeman shall be seized or imprisoned, or
deseized or outlawed, or in any way destroyed,
nor will we go upon him or send upon him, except by the judgment of his peers or by the laws
of the land." Our fathers caught the inspiring
strain, and it was prolonged in those sonorous
touea, sounding forth from our glorious Constitution : " JYo person shall be deprived of life,
I liberty or property, without due process of law."
i Cherish, my friends, these great rights thus guar-
teed to you iu your Constitution ; uever surrender them ; never allow them to be compromised
or gainsaid, ior they constitute the keystone to
the arch of freedom. Once destroyed, and the
sun ol liberty is extinguished in your sky, aud tin
k and horrid night of despotism will wrap you
in its gloomy embrace forever. We call that government Iree, which uot only shelters its subjects
from the injustice of the many, but the tyrauy of
the one or the few. We as a people, are free, because from au ancient time there came laws written as wilh the miger of lhe Highest—free, because to us. in this day, it was thought conscience
and opinion were free. It is a great thought that
the laws of the land recognize there is a pari
about every man's affairs so sacred, that It mus
uot lie crossed by inquisition or inquiry. Thi
personal freedom of the citizen from all illegal ar
reals; the freedom ofhis hearthstone Irom arbitrary
Invasion, and the freedom ofhis conscience from
all manner of restraint, these constitute the Urim
and the Thutnim, the breast-plate of light tuid
truth round the heart of the American citizan in
the time of trial and danger ; and when he demands rights tbat have not beeu conceded to him,
my part, come weal or come woe, will' demand at
the hands ol the legal tribunals of my country,
full redress for all tho wrongs and outrages that
I have been made to Buffer. There afe dastardly
wretches in your midst, who, I understand, have
been Instrumental in this arrest, aud for whom I
have no regard and utterly despise. Tbey will be

Reception or Col. Jamw. W. Wall at llui-
llngton.
Tbe release of Col. Wall from Fort Lafayette
and his reception on Friday night, when here-
turned to his family, his home and numerous
friends, produced a rejoicing exceeding everything
ever before known in this city. Notwithstanding
the disappointment ofa large number of people who
had assembled at Mount Holly to come by railroad, and from the severity of a heavy storm which
made it impossible for hundreds of others to leave
Beverly, Bridgeborough, Rancocas, Columbus,
Johnstown, Jacksonville and other villages in our
county, and so with many others in Philadelphia
and Bristol, and many hundredsof our own citize
were thua prevented from attendance, there w
no less than one thousand persous at tho depot
awaiting his reception.
Aa the Colonel stepped upou tbe platform, the
dense mass greeted him in the fullness of their
hearts. It was no strained effort on the part of
family, for tbe cheers of welcome came long, loud.
and free. He entered a carriage in waiting, preceded by alarge transparency bearing these words:
•'James W. Walt, the defender of the Constitution. Welcome Home," with the American flag.
The carriage was encircled by a large number oi
three hundred men.
As the procession moved along, Main street was
filled with men, women and children, with almost
continued cheering until arriving at his residence.
Here be was received by thirty-four little girls,
emblematic of the thirty-four StateB, dressed in
white, bearing (lowers in profusion, forming two
l'uiea from the carriage to the door ofhis house. As
the Colonel reached his door, our Burlington Cor-1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
net Band poured forth its notes ol" Sweet Home." [tribunals lhe law has erected for the redress of
After long cheers had subsided, be thus addressed
the public :
My heart ia full to-night—so full that I can
scarce give adequate expression by the deep emotions that crowd upon me as I look upon this heart'
felt demonstration. What a striking contrast to the
melancholy scene, hardly a fortnight ago, when I
was dragged ruthlessly from these steps, torn mercilessly from ths clinging embraces of the dear
ones at home, and cousigned to the tender mercies
of the brutal military despotism that rules within
thc gloomy wa!l? of lhe American Bafitile- This
enthusiastic reception, my friends ; these shonts of
welcome ; these bright and happy faces ; the beautiful liowera strewn iu my pathway by such fair
bands | the cheering light of those flaring torches,
all unite to convince me how lovingly yon bear me
in your hearts. Such a reception is the more
gratelul to ine because it wears a doule signifi-
caucy. It assures me, in the first place, tbat you.
my neighbors and friends, among whom I have
gone in and out lor many yeara, deeply sympathise wilh men in the wroftgs and outrages to
which I have been subjected. Iu the second place
it is a manifestation as strong as "'Holy Writ,"
that you believe I am wholy innocent of any charges of disloyalty or any imputations upon my fair
fume as a constitution-loving citizen. Charges!
___._:___•> wi,. mv friends, would you believe
through the long and tedious days of my imprisonment, up to this joyful moment when I look out,
once more as a freeman, over these numerous
kindly gladsome faces, now upturned to greet and
iheer me, I have not been able to learn what
those charges are '. I have in vain demanded of
the Government the nature of the charges, and
claimed the constitutional privilege of being
informed of the nature and cause of thc accusation, and to Ire confronted with the witness
against me. But up to this hour the grave could
not bave been more silent. Great Huaven! is il |
possible that such thiogs can be under a Constitution whose boast it bas been that it was for the
protection of the inalienable rights of men
agaiust all oppression. If this boast has been in
vain then it has " but a name Sa live—an outer
seeming lo beguile and deceive—a Sodom apple,
a hectic Hush, painting the cheek upon which it
preys.' The Liberty I claim under that Constitution, is not the liberty of Licentiousness—it. ie
the liberty united wilh law, liberty sustained by
law, liberty regulated by law ; and that kind of
liberty is guaranteed to every man, high or low,
proud or humble, rich or poor, under all exigencies, whether in peace or war, and whether that
w_r is foreign, or the State bein the fearful throes
of civil strife. If the obligations we enter into to
part with a portion of onr absolute rights when we
assume lhe bonds of civil . ociely, be not complied
with, the State must enforce her remedies agaiust
Volcanic Euuitios on tub Red Sea.—Mr.
Chaa._Beke writes as follows in the London Times:
" Iu tbo Times of June 20 and 21, you allowed me
to give publicity to au accouut of an eruption of
Djebel Dubbeb, a volcano near Edd, on the Red
Sea. I have now to request that you will record
iu like manner a few additional particulars furnished to Captain Flayfair by an officer who recently visited Edd. Tbe eruption of tbe 8th of
May is said to bave destroyed 175 human beings,
besides immense flocks and herds. The whole
ground is covered witb a thick layer of volcanic
ashes, which in most places completely cover up
the pasturage. Neither stones nor lava—in fact,
nothing but aabes seems to have been ejected.—
The mouuiain is now quiescent. This eruption
appears to resemble in character that of Vesuvius
iu the year 70, when the elder Pliuy lost his life.

-juries, I kuow that there are many pseudo
patriots in your midst whose selfish regard for
their personal safety bas kept them closely at
home to spit tbeir spite and venom upou other
meu, and with whom, as Aristophanes describes
tbe Athenians,
" No matter what the offense,
Be't great or small,
Thc cry Is treason and conspiracy."
These unprincipled politicians m-e waiting for
chances when they can fasten like vampires on
tho flanks of the government, and suck substan;:i
from this war and not death. In order to iugrati
ate themselves with the Administration, they
spend their time, like noxious spiders, in sp
webs, whose threads are spun from their own
fabricating brains, with which to catch and en-
angle the unwary-. Let tho Administration beware of these Johny Hooks, these shoddy patriots
—they are enemies to thia Government.
Remember that though liberty may be crushed
to the earth for a time and wear the garments of
heaviness, that the time must come when she shall
assert her supremacy once agaiu, put on her glr>
rious apparel, gird bur sword upou her thigh, and
make oppression and disloyality take refuge in
their dens. Have an abiding faith in the stern
truth expreased in those glorious lines of Bryant :
•'Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again—
And dies among her worshippers."
I bid you a most affectionate good night.
At the close of Col. Wall's remarks, the vast
crowd responded with hearty cheers, aud the band
wilh appropriate music.
A doctor relates an accouut of a gentleman in
Barbadoes who waa in tbe h .bit of daily intoxica-
aud bad constructed a tub, wilb a pillow to
accommodate the head, and wheu in this state was
placed therein, and the tub was tilled with cold water, iu whioh he reposed for two or three hours aud
would then arise refreshed and invigorated. When
Bia wife or family required him ihey would wake
him up by taking out the plug and allow the wat
to escape, when he would pleasantly complain of
the " loss cf his bed clothes."
Economical Shooting.—It seems that the killing of an enemy in battle is neither necessary nor
expedient. Col Peard, Garibaldi', Englishman,''
eported to have said ol rifle shooting in-war :
■'Mind, if ever you go rifle shooting, use your rifle
scientific manner. Recollect always not to
your man, but to wound him ; then it lakes
two men to carry him off, and those two men never
by any chance come back the same day. With a
