The Southern Confederacy appeared atthe window again, and says he :

Thia significant remark caused a sudden cessation of the bombard meat, and Samyule haBtily
called a council of war.

all hopes of future Union aad reconstruction may

A chap who was a democrat suddenly flamed up
at this, and saya he:
- The abolitionists caused this terrible war, and

Btitutionally. IfWfl irritate thia man no power

It Booms, my boy, that an intellectual member
of the Mackerel Brigade got tired of investing
York town, and wandered away in pursuit of ad-
vetiluro. Ab ho perigriuated in tho neighborhood
ofa rebel domicile, he beheld what he took for the
bird of our country, stalking out of the barn-yard,
and was making measures to confiscate it, wben
the proprietor made his appearance, and says he :
" Hessian, spare that goose."
Tho Mackerel chap gave ft tragic start, and aaya
be:
"Tib tho Eagle I would rescue, Horatio ; the bird
celebrated by my brother, tho Congressman, ia all
his speeches."
"Well," says the foul traitor, " il is undoubtedly what the Congressmen Ukes for the Eagle, rtn
I am aware that Congressmen generally treat tbe
American Eaglo as if it wero a goose ; but aa that
gander happens to belong to one of the very First
Families of Virginia, and cost mo four shillings, it
becomes my painful duly to resist your habeas
corpus act." And with that be drove tho beautiful bird into the barn-yard aud locked the gate.
Fired to fury by this intuit from oue of those
•whom our army had come to protect, the Mackerel
Chap went immediately back to quarters, and appealed to hie comrades for vengeance.
Tbat gifted officer, Samyule ^a-miLh, heard his
burning words, aud says be : "The cannon of the
Uuion shall speak in this matter. Let the Orange
County Howitzers got ready ior action and I will
lead them against the philistiues."
lostautly arose the notes of dreadful preparations; the guns were mobilized, six English gentlemen in the hosiery business were invited to view
the coming battle, and just as the moou arose above
tho trees, the artillery started for the rebel stronghold.
Arriving before the offending house, the Howitzers were placed in liue, and all got ready for the
bombardment. It was juet possible, my boy, that
two men might have marched into that house and
captured tho misguided Confederacy without
elaughter. You may be unable to Bee what use
there was in bringing out artillery and formii
in line of battle ; but you are very ignorant, my
boy; you know uothing about strategy and war.
*'Soldiers," says Samyule, "remember that the
eyes of the whole world aie upou you at this mo-
meut, and endeavor to hit the house as often as
possible. We will fire one round without ball,"
Bays Samyule, "to seo if the powder is first class."
Now it chanced tbat while the loadiug-up was
going on, the gallant Lieutenant Lemons got his
legs wonderfully entangled io the lanyard of his
piece, aud kept turning the howitzer around in a
manner strongly expressive of nervous agitation*
Suddenly he stepped across to where Samyule was
-standing, and whispered in his ear:
" 0, I see," saya Samyule, kindly, "you were
educated at West Point, and want to know whicb
cud of the cannon ought to be pointed to the enemy
Well/' says Samyule, instructively, "you'd better
point tbo end with the hole in it."
Everything being in readiness, ray boy, tbe com
blued battery launched its thunders on the air,
creating a great seusatiou in the neighboring
hen-rooats, and causing a large rooster to fall from
a branch in the midst of his refreshing slumbers.
" Now that the powder has sustained its reputation," Bays Samyule, impressively, "let the two-
inch balls bo hurled at the enemy's works."
Ah the house stood full teu yards off, this second
discharge failed to hit it; but it brought the
Southeru Confederacy to the window in his nightcap, and says ho :
"There's no use of my trying to Bleep, if you
chaps keep making such a noise down there.'
" Unhappy man," sayB Samyule, solemnly, "we
ccme hero to reduce you, and will listen to nothing
but unconditional surrender."
The Confederacy gaped, and says he : *' I'm
very sleepy, and can't talk to you now; but I'll
call in the morning." And he shut the window
and went bick lo bed, a frown was observed to
steal over the face or Samyule. He has a peculiar
countenance, tny boy, and a frown eflfeots [t
Btranirely. Take his mouth aud moustache together, and they remind you of a mouse Buuuing him-
Belf on the edge of his hole ; and when the frown
comes oo, the mouse acts as though he had a
stomach-ache.
■"Comrades,'-' saysSamytile, "the enemy requires
another round, and we must do it on the square.
Fire!"
Like four-and-twenty thunderstorms the Howitzers roared together, aud bad not the Orange
county veterans forgotten to put iu any bails, there
is reason to believe that eoine windows would have
been broken.   Auot-her discharge, however, was
consent to be borne agai
you heretofore?"
The Coufedcracy thought awhile, and then says
he:
•■ Consider me reconstructed."
Aa that waa al! the Constitution asked, of course
there was no mora to be done, and tbe Orange
County Howizera returned to their original position in the mire, the English gentlemen remarking
that the appearance aud discipline of our troops
were satisfactory to Albion.
Fighting according tothe Constitution, my boy.
is such an admirable way of preventing carnage,
that some doctor ought to take out a patent for it
as cheap inediciue.

following is an extract from a private letter :
The Prince was at Hebron while we were there.
He and his suite obtained permission to visit the
cave of Macphela, Abraham's burial ground. They
are the firBt Christians who bave been allowed to
enter it since the Crusades, nearly seven hundred
years ago. Dr. Stanley says everything is kept
in the most beautiful order, and uothing could be
more satisfactory than the state in which the
tombs are preserved. Abraham, Jacob, Joseph
Sarah, Rebecca and Leah are buried, there. Two
of the shieks were inclined to give anuoyance and
show their animosity at Christians being allowed
to enter tbo cave. The Governor of Hebron, bow-
ever, had them escorted out, or rather he escorted
tbem out himself, and the remainder were rather
complimentary to the Prince.
The telegraph cable was successfully laid, May
19th. across Chesapeake Bay, from Cherrystone to
Back River in Virginia, and the War Department is
snow iu telegraphic communication with Fortress
Monroe and Gen. McClcllan's headquarters.

A scampish fellow was talking of taking a trip
to France, when a companion meeting him in the
street, inquired—''Well Brown, my boy, wheu are

"To-morrow."
"Going to take your wife with you?"
' No ; it's a voyage of pleasure."
Mr. Tompkins," aaid a young lady who had

you that you occupy my upper story."
It is an old proverb, that "boys will be boys."
What a pity H isn't equally true that meu will be

Joe, wero you ever taxed for your watch ? No,

It is very possible to hu too witty to be earnest,

To tbe greater part of mankind is less dangerous
to do an injury thau much service.
Old age is a relentless tyrant; it forbids the

Envy is unquestionably a high compliment, but
a most ungracious one,

your virtues endure, use them continually.
A man cannot possess anything that is better

Could our enemies ouly know how much we

To know when to couceal our ability requires uo

The beginning of anger is foolishness, and its

TO THE  DESERT FLOWER.*
BT 8. B. ROCKWELL.
Flower of the desert place,
Born on thia dreary waste,
Breathing thy sweetness o'er heather and lea :
Emblem of happiness,
Strange is thy chosen place,
None to abide in the desert with thee.
Bright is thy roay face,
Beaming with modest grace,
Unfolding tby charms of scarlet and whitd :
Far from the city full,
Ne'er taught attioral school,
Blest in thy desert home—full of delight.
In thine arms holding up,
A bright goblet or cup,
Craving and courting, but sunshine aud air ;
Ne'er bleat with dew or rain,
Never known to complain,
Content without favor, affection or care.
Tell us how came thee here,
Tell, how maay n year,
Thou ba«t resided on this barren waste ;
Wilh no hand to dress thee,
No heart to caress thee,
No eye to admire thy beauty and grace !
Perhaps irom some highland,
Or fair (ropie. island,
Upborne by the wind's strong current along ;
Far back in the distance
Two or three centuries since,
Wer't brought to this place a captive of wrong.
Or may be the plover,
Or curlew, or roller,
ffiWith notions of stealth, or commerce, or greed ;
Concluded to treat thee,
To a ride o'er the sen,
Then cast thee off here, desert-eo\ indeed.
Strange Is thy history,
Stranger the mystery,
How thou dost flourish, the thing is so queer ;
On mere pebbleB and sand,
Yet apparelled so grand,
No dews to relieve—no water to cheer.
Sweet is thy breath of love,
Wafted to God above,
Else it were wasted or spent In the air ;
No soul here to Bhare it,
No heart to prepare it,
A welcome all worthy, a flower bo rare.
As stands the man of God,
Midst tbe vile wrangling horde,
Beaming with goodneB3—maintaining the right;
So mid the dreary waste,
In meek and modest grace,
Stands the lone desert flower—child of ihe ttgftl.
* While  crossing a barren   waste in Southern
California, under the burning rays of a summer
noon, with Dought to relieve the eye but patches
of sage-bush and grease-wood, ray vision was
cheered by a group of handsome flowers, standing
in silent grandeur, all bright and beautiful, exhaling " their sweetness on the desert air." Ah 1
thought I, here 5b renewed evidence of the beneficence of the Deity, who never rails to bestow soma
marked impressions of his love everywhere—even
in the most barren and chearless wastes, viBited by
the feet of wandering men. Surrounded by bu:
ning aands, deprived of rain and dew, it maintained a life full of grace and beauty quite myatcrous
to me. S. B. R.

Three Chances Tor a "Wife.
When a man has lliree chances for a wife it is
hard that he should fail—The following is a case
which might havo occurred "Down East/' but it is
doubtful if such an occurrence was ever known in
any other part of the world. A friend of ours
says:
I onoe courted a girl by the name of Deb Hawkins, and made it up to get married. Well, while
we were going to the deacon's I Btepped into a
mud-puddle, and spattered the mud all over Deb's
new gown, made out of her grandmother's old
chintz petticoat. When we got to the deacon's, he
asked Deb if she would be willing to take me for
her lawfully wedded husband.
"No," says she.
"Reason _" says I.
"Why" saya she, "I've taken a dialikin' to you."
Well it was all up then, but I gave her a string
of beads, a few kisses aod some otber notions, and
made it all up with her, so we went to tbe deacon's
a second time. I was bound to come up with her
this time, so when the deacon asked me if I would
take her for my wedded wife, says I—
"No I shan't do no such thing."
"Wby, Bays Deb, what ou earth is the matter?"
"Why," saya I, "I've taken adislikin' to you."
Well it was ali over again, but I gave her a few
trinkets, and a Lew apron, and we went up again
to get married. Ve expected that tbis time we
should be tied so fast that all nature couldn't eep-
n   n« ;    "hit    vihtin   to#>    n->!;..fl   the    deaCOll   if hfl
would marry us, he said—
"No, I shan't do auy such thing."
"Why, what ou earth's the reason 1" saya we.
"Why, I've taken a dialikin cf both of ye," anys
he.
Deb bust out cryin' the deacon bust cat scoldin,
and I bust out laughin,' aud such a set of busters
you never did see. But it all come out right in
the end.
A girl named Mary FilzalUn waa arrested a
short time since in Chicago, clothed in a volunteer's uniform and passing under the name of Harry Fitzallau. She ie a native of Kentucky, and
has served in the Twenty-third regiment of Union
volunteers from that State. She declined stating
her reason for enlisting, paid a fine ot twenty dollars which the magistrate imposed, and departed
from Court^

Great escitoment still exists in all the South
Pacific States in relation to European aggressions
on this continent. The "Society of the America"
at Lima have voted to opeu a subscription for the
purchase of 100,000 stand of arms, to be presented
to the first people who may need them in defense
of their soil from foreign foes.
Present anil Future at tlie Wnr.
A great people, common in their origin as the
vigorous emigration from the old countries of European Christendom on the soil of tbe New World
—common in the same fundamental traditions of
free-government—united in common interests,
bSnee the different regions they inhabited responded
to each other's needs, and profited by each other's
strength—have, for the past year been rallying
their powersto deal damaging blows on each other,
and for the destruction of what the united energies
of all had, for three quarters oT a century, been
engaged in building up. Atthe end of the year
we hear of fresh conscriptions, ami forced enlistments, in the weaker section. Iu the stronger, we
hear that the recruiting stations are again to be
opened for fresh levies to supply the fatal waste of
a bloody war. In the latter—the North—the required quota will be readily furnished—bo it for
fifty thousand, or for five hundred thousand
soldiers. It wili be furnished with equal
facility, whether or not Massachusetts or all New
Ejglnnd, abides by tho stipulations of Massachusetts Governor Andrews, and requires, as the con
dition of new supplies, that Mr, Lincoln's admin
istration Bhall declare clearly that the object of the
war is to be the aubversiou of tho constituted institutions of the Southern States. Throwing New
England out of the question, the fighting men,
North or South, are not nearly all drafted. If that,
on either side, bo the condition, we bave years of
glorious war before us.
Reason will yet return. The people will take
counsel from tbe wise—when pasBious have been
sufficiently chastened by aidictiou. In fact, this
war will not be settled by the processor mutual
exhaustion. Before exhaustion of the possible
military resources of either section of a country so
fresh and powerful as this, takes place, some one
of several remedies will bo applied. First and
best, honest meu, on each nide, will insist ou speaking out, and there will no where be a power longer
to smother their voices. Is it to be supposed that
the passions common to man with the brute wil1
perpetually dominate tbo minds of thoce whose action can prolong or terminate thia contest? No!
at the South words will be spoken—spoken not by
the pariahs of society, who hurry away from their
homes to make trafic by exhibiting their wounds
but by men standing ou their own honest hearth,
stone, where tbey aro respected aa well aa known
— words will be spoken that cannot pau unheeded.
Words will be spokeu that, were we, here ia New
York, to speak of tbe Southern revolution, would
create irritation and wrath. Lee wise men at the
South prepare, aud dare to Bpcuk them.
Words, loo, will be spoken at the North. Words
that will ring in the carB of meu of good sense,
and iu tbe earsof t'ao people—that will sink down
\u\o tne nearte and will spring up again iuto life
iu their actions.
We wiil be done forever—because, to be a great
people, we must be done—with the impudent,
shallow and dogmatical New Eoglandism that has
beeu our curse. Wo must teaoh these ignorant
meddlers better behavior, or put them iuto quarantine on theii-own barren hill—sides. We are
no advocate oi the proposition of ejecting New
England from the Uuion ; because their old Puritan stock, by well known causes, is fast dying out,
and a hardy, noble and virtuous generation—not
of Plyiuoutb Rock—is rooting out tho puritans
Let God and nature alone for New England ; but
the accursed ideas that have so long festered iu
that nook of the continent—the ideas of the fanatic Puritans—must be hunted by all good citizeue
with the "hue aud cry" with which the " brotbei
hoods ofthe peace" used to run down their inveterate and irreclaimable disturbers of good neighborhood of the Middle AgeB.
Wa may then return to the principles on which
the great men who formed the Constitution, aod
by it made tbe Union, reconciled conflicting sentiment-*-., and compromised lesser to the interests of
greater and leading ideaa. Oh men, oh patriots of
America, with the blood of our brave kindred slain
In tbis unhappy war, let us agree to wipe out alike
the fanatical conceits of Puritanism, and the preposterous aud exaggerated conceits of whieh Hue-
guenot South Carolina has been tbe nursery ! Put
prejudice and fanaticism—wbich do us uo good—
aside, aod not ouly we may bo, but we are withal,
ne people yet. Tbe heart of tbe American throbs
the same* in New York aud in Georgia, iu Illi uois
and in Texas. How can you find a natural line
that is to mark the difference between the Virginian or Marylauder andthe Peuusylvauian, born
withiu a etone's throw of each other—between the
Obian or Indlanau, and Kentuckian  across that
[Fr
ttie BOtaburgh SaHraanj
For shame, men of the Statet ao long and ao happily Uuited! "Ye are brethren! Why do ye
wrong one to another ?"
Unless wa meet together by our delegates lu a
convention of all the States, to adjust grievances
and to renew amity and fellowship, what is before
us? The finger iiaalready tracing the writing upon
the wall. Norfolk and New Orleans have yielded
tothe armed hand of Americana; but all alike,
Americans will be forced, some day, to yield—if
meantime we do Dot compose our differences—to
tho patronizing and imposed intervention of European monarchies. Is that to be for the benefit
of the South I or either sectiou '! Oh, Americans,
inheritors of tho "Monroe doctrine"—of tbe dec!a
ration that Europe shall not control ou tbis Western continent—have we come to this? Efortb and
South, by this? time, have learned the truth—that
neither ought to have doubted—that there is fierce
gallantry enough ou either Bide to fight when
fighting muBt be done. That ia a thing of course.
But now that we have fought, wby cannot wild
paaelon cease, and then dispositou be manifested
by the wise at least, to recur to that loftier human
attribute—reason—by which atone our disagreements ought to be, and alone rightly can be, settled.—.A*.  Y. Freeman's Journal.

The Fie.ich Merilnllon.
Private    information   from   Paris,   coinciding
with    certain signs   and    symptoms,  leads    to
the conviction  lh*t a strong   deaire to make an
effort towards some kind of interposition has long-
been eutertained by tho Emperor, and that, unless
some settlement shall have been reached or brought
wilhin sight a few weeks hence, he will scarcely
be restrained from the attempt.   If, when the advance of tho aeuBon renders military  movements
impracticuble in the Southern States, at least by
the Northern troops, tbe position of tbe belligerents shall be anything liko what it was at the last
advices, or if indeed the position is uot much moro
entirely altered than it would now be rational to
expect, the facts will bo regarded as insuring, in
the  absence of any new element, another year's
war.    Against such a »esu!t, it is nndirslood that
the French   Emperor is now  more  than ever in*
dined not only to protest but to act.   Moro than
probably, he will first propose to move iu concert
with Great Britain—but we may assume, at least
In passing,  that any such  proposal would bo declined by our Government.    TUo Emperor would,
in that case, go to work by himself.    He will, perhaps, begin by a mere friendly remonstrance, addressed oatensively to both parties, but prflOtlally
meant or needed only  for tho North—a remonstrance which there is desperately little chance of
producing an eflect beyond, at the best, a civil expression of resentment at foreign   intermeddling.
Thecouraeto which lhe Emperor would then resort
is believed to be this—he would throw out something quite capable of being interpreted as a threat
against whichever party should resume hostilities ;
and he would then formally propound an advice
that the whole matter should bo referred to his
favorite tribunal, "universal suffrage"—the vote
not to be taken en masse,  but each State to vote
separately, declaring   wholhor it desires reunion
under one Federal  orcentral  government, or ro-
construction under two or more such governments.
Whether or not the visit of the French Minister at
Washington to the Confederate Governmeut at
Richmond Ims any connection with tbose intentions,
is matter only of   uuassiated   conjecture ;    but
there is  more  than mere conjecture as to something like what has beeu indicated being ul present,
uot only the desire but Uio design of the French
Government.   The prospect is not a cheerful oue.
Though  the  proposal of referring   lhe: matter to
universal suffrage is ouo which, iu itself, it neither
is uulitting in France to make, nor would be unreasonable in the States to accept, it is, after all,
but a proposal to have done over again  what the
Confederate  States did in tho Spring of tbo last
year.   They did then, as they would again do now,
vote themselves out of tho Union—and that is just
the result against_which the North has been Ught-
iuy.     In a   wujiI,   Ior   tho   Nui th to  mjrodo to  tho
French proposal would just bo certainly, though
indirectly, to concede separation, ll. Is difficult to
conclude that tbat which tho North has refused and
resisted at such enormous cost, it would grant at
the request ormeuance ofFrance ; aud it is equally difficult to see what effective steps Franco could
lake, were sho denied and defied As to this country, there seems no course open to her but inaction
and almost silence. We have no right to venturo
beyond friendly advice; and the fact that our interests are deeply concerned in a speedy settlement
of tho American strifo, subjects to suspicion aud
aversion anything we Bay even tu the most friendly and respectful tone and form. A collation of
the recent accounts, public and private, regarding
the war, tend to strenghthen the conclusion that
the struggle will not be ended this campaign, and,
consequently, that th« state of things for which
the French Emperor is understood to wait will soon
arise.
Effects ov Auoution im Congress.—What ever
may bo said of tbo alleged policy of tho Administration iu the prosecution of tho war, however much
its followers may disclaim being Abolitionists, it
must bo admitted tbat most oftlie legislation of Congress, and the general tenor of the debates in the
National Legislature, have been exceedingly irritating and uufriendly to tho Border States. Indeed,
were it the avowed desire of tbo radical Republicans
to drive every Border Stato into tho embraco of tho
Southern Confederacy, a course better culculutcd to
produce this result, and to establish permanent disunion, could not have been resolved upon. It is a
noticable, fact that the Republicans have distracted
the Union scniiineut of Congress by introducing a
number of bills of a strictly partisan character,
while  the Democratic and  conservative tnembors
have not introduced ono.    While  nrofossinj. [0 discard party, they have lnllexittly  auhercd to   it, and
denounced every man
.vorjiiin nt their t-hniuv
traitor who  refuHcd to
-.Mountain Democrat.
Tlie Memphis Aati/aiirhc of the 2d says: Wo
understand from well informed sources Soutli that
the leaders of the Southern movement have determined on a uew programme. It is said now their
policy i3 to fight as long us possible to do so, but
wben tbey can do BO DO longer, insie-td Of surrendering and baving tlieir property conliscated, and
themselves disfranchised, the leaders will m»ke a
direct proposition to either France or England to
becomo a colony or appendage. It is further
stated, tbat the Southern leaders prefer, if tbe alternative is forced upon (.hem, to become subjects
of Napoleon, who is engngeil with colonizing
in Mexico. We give the above as the probable,
nay almost certain policy of the (Jonfederate leaders, if they should be driven to the wall. We have
good reaaan for the belief that it is their solemnly
declared policy in the emergency supposed.
