NOBODY'S   SONG.
BT HENRY CLA*PP,   SB.
I'm thinkin-z, just oow, of Nobody,
And ali tlivii Nobody's done;
For Yvfi a punt-don for Nobody
Tbat Nobody would own;
I bear tbe name of Nobody,
For from Nobody I sprung.
And I ping ibe praise ol Nobody,
Ab Nobody mine haa sung.
In life's young morning, Nobody
To me was tender and dear,
And my cradle wad rocked by Nobody,
And Nobody was near;
I was pelted and praised by Nobody,
And Nobody brought Dia up;
And when I was hungry. Nobody
Gave me to di*#midwip.
I went, to school to Nobody,
And Nobody made me rend;
I played in the streel with Nobody,
And Nobody gave heed.
j lojd my story to Nobody —
For Nobody was willing to hear—
My heart it oiling to Nobody,
Aud Nobody shed a tear.
And, when I grew older, Nobody
Gave me a helping turn.
Ami by the good aid ol  Nobody
I began my livin*. lo ■■■ini.
And hence I co.nrled Nobody,
And -said Nobody's IM he;
And ar-k-'d to many Nobody,
And Nobody married me.
Thus I trudged along with Ncbody,
And Nobodv cheers mv life,
And I have a love for Nobody,
Thut Nobody ha* lor his wife;
So. here's a health lo Nobodv '.
And Nobody'II drink with me.
For 1 have a passion   for Nobody,
Which Nobody can see.
General Jackson.
During General Jackson's last term, as Preside]
WAA.TZIMG,
The Atlantic Monthly for August, haa the follow
ing severe criticism on the above named popu.ai
luiniserueul:
•■Waltzing is a profane and vicious dance—al
-ways. When it is prosecuted in the centre ofa
great crowd, in a dusty hall, on a warm mid summer day, it is also a disgusting dance. Night is
ita only appropriate time. The blinding dazzling
gaslight throws a grateful g are over the salient
points of its indecency, and blends the whole into
a wild whirl that d zzl s and dazes one ; but the
uncompromising afternoon, pouring in through
manifold windows, tears away every illusion, and
reveals the coarseness and commonness and all the
repulsive details ot the most alien and unmaidenly
revel. The very pose of the dance ia profanity.
Attitudes wbich are the instinctive expression of
intimate emotions, glowing rosy-red in the auroral
time of tenderness, and justified in unbashed freedom only by a'lorig and faith fn! habitude
se'liir-h d-m.iimpure b<-ru 4.p*t*ly:A litrcraU-ty.aml
carelessly assumed by people § who have hut a
easual and partial society acquaintance. This I
reckon profanity. This is levity the most culpable.
This ia a guilty end wanton waste of delicacy.
That il is practised by good girl*, and tolerated by
good mothers does not prove that it is good. Cur
torn blunts the edge of many perceptions, A good
thing soiled may be redeemed by good people;
but waltz as many as you may, spotless maidens,
you will ouly smut yourselves and not cleanse the
maltz.    It is of itself unclean.
Thero is another thing which girls and tbeir
mothers do not consider. The present mode of
dreil renders wallzing almost as obj"cttonable in
a large room as the boldest featsof a French ballet
dancer. Not to put too fiue a point on it, I mean
that these girls'gyrations in tbe centre of tlieir
gyrating and centrifugal hoops make a most
operatic drapery display. I saw scores of public
waltzing girls last summer, and among them all I
saw but one who understood the art, of avoiding
an indecent exposure. In the .glare and glamor of
the gaslight, it is only flash aod clouds nnd indistinctness ; in the broad and hones1 day light, it is
not. Do I shock ears polite ; I trust so. If Aie
Baying ot shocking things might prevent the doing
of shocking things I will be content. Aad is il
an unpardonable sin for me to sit alone in iny owi:
room and write about what you go into a great
hall, before hundreds of strange meu aud women,
to do?
of the United States, the anti-slavery societies were j
veTy"!roubIesome.    Petition   alter  petition, asking
the abolishment  of slavery, was presented to Con- |
gress.     The mail8  wero deluged  wilh incendiary
publications, all   calculated to create illfeeling, and
provoke  servile Insurrection,    The people  of  the
Northern  States, however, did not, as a  body assist to  fan the flame  of discord, which the  commercial and manufacturing classes, foresaw would
if successful,   disrupt the   Union.    Jackson plainly
observed   lhat   there   was a disposition,   in   both
Northern and Southern   men, to undenata the value of the Uuion,    In 1835,  President Jacksou feeling solicitous (or the permanency ofthe Union, and
knowing   that   anti- slavery    perilled    its    safety_
addressed Congress in his  Message as follows :    '■!
must also invite  your attention   to the painful  excitement   produced   in   the Souih   by attempts to
circulate through  the mails inflammatory   appeals
addressed to  the passions  of the staves, iu prints'
and  iu various sorts  of publication, calculated   to
Stimulate   them to   insurrection,    and to   produd
all the horrors ofa servile war.    There is doubtless
no rcspectaole   portion ofour countrymen  who can
be wo far misled as to feel any other sentiment than
that of  ind.griant  regret at conduct so destructive
ofthe  harmony and  peace orthe country,   and so
repugnant to ihe piineip-es ofour national compact
and to ihe dictates  of humanity and religion.    Our
happiness and   prospeiity essentially depend  upon
peace wilhin our borders ;  and peace depends upon
a maintenance, iu good faith, of ihose  com promts*? s
of lhe Constitution upon which   the Union ia founded.      Il is fortunate for   the couutry that   the good
891183,   the generous    fueling  and the deep attachment Of the   popalaveholdiiig States*to  the Union
and  to    their   fellow citizens   of the same   blood
in the South,  have given so strong and impressive
a tone  to   the sentiments   entertained against the
proceedings  of  tho   misguided persons wbo   have
engaged in these   unconstitutional and  wicked attempts,  aud especially   against  the  emisarics from
foreign   parts, who have  dared to interfere  in this
matter,  as to   authorize tha  hope   that   those attempts will no longer be persisted in.    But if these
expressions of  the public  will,   shall not be sufficient to effect so desirable a result, not a doubt cmi
be entertained  that the non slaveholding States, so
(ar from  countenancing  the  slightest  interference
the Constitutional rights ol the  South, wiil be wilh
prompt   to exercise their  authority in suppressing
so far as in them lies, whatever is calculated to pio.

Jerked   Beef and Ment Sis-cult.
A Cargo of preserved beef has lately been forwarded to Scotland from Monte video, as an experiment, by a company established for the purpose ol iutroducing thia article into uew markets.
If'Ihis production suited tbe lastes of the "canny
Scots," other shipments were to follow. Il is thus
described:
Tbe beef consists of the finest grass-fed ox beef
from wbicb the bone ia separated before drying j
thus reducing lhe weight to about one half, I. e.'
very pound of dry represents two of fresh beef J
This food is in general use in Brazil at the tables
of both rich and poor."
It is nearly similar to tha dried beef so much
used iu the United States.. In all likelihood, \{
will not meet with much favor in Scotland; not
being prepared to suit the long established tastes
ofthe people of that country for "spiced beef,"
which is prepared by rubbing the meats with dry
salt, ground pepper and cloves, regularly _o» five
or six days beleie it is bung up to dry. The mixture used consists, of an ounce of pepper, aud half
an ounce ol cloves, lo each pound of best salt. II
American dried beef were prepared in this manner, it would be mbch improved, aud considerable
quantities might be exported to Europe at remunerative prices. Such spiced beef would undoubtedly be beneficial as part of ihe rations of our soldiers, if tubstituied for some of the pork uow supplied. We nre informed that the spices in such
meats tend lo prevent seorbtitive diseases. But
■superior to all these beef preparalioue^s a convenient article for long marches, is (_WpE«r den's
meat biscuit. TbUGonsistB ol aiiexWtt of the
beat beef, baked with flour, into bscuit. A few
ounces of it will afford noumh:i-ent to asoldieri'or
a whole day. The late General Sumner, while Colonel of Dragoons, iu Texas, used ji; four ounces
Blade into soup, being sufficient for his daily 'ood
iu field operations. At tliis rate, two pound* carried in the haversack of a soldier would sustain
him for tight days. What a great advantage it
would therefore be to supply ihis as part ol a sol-
ier's rations during long marches, iu place of salt
junk flld haid hu k.
Tu the leciures delivered in London by scientific
persotiagi-s, on articles in the Gr.-at Iixhit ition ot
1851, Dr J. Lindley, P. R. S-, Professor of Botany
iii University College, said ibis article was more
important than all other preserved lood substances
in the eiliib ton; and Dr. Play-fair to whom it
was referred for analysis said, "it eoutaiued *32 pe

Oo the 27th of April, 18C3, the . Union Legislature pnfaed an act to "provide bonds lor completing the Deaf, Dumb and BUnd Asylum." (See
Shinies 18(53, page 583.) The provision of this
net proposes lo issue State bonds for $75,000, at 7
per cent, par annum, payable within twenty yearn
alter the 1ft of July, 1864; interest payable hall
yearly. S700 to be paid to Lhe State Treasurer for
preparing bond*?.    Seclioo 6 rends as follows:
"SiiC 6. Fur the payment of the principal and
the interest of the "Asylum Bonds" authorized by
this Act, there shall be levied, on the first Monday
in March, A. D. 1S(H, and eacii year thereafter until the interest and principle of said bonds -shall be
paid, an annual taxrof three fourths uf one per
cent, on each one hundred dollars of value ot al'
the taxable property in this Slate, which lax shall
be assessed aud collected as other 3-aate taxes, and
by the Treasurer of State set apart iu a l? mi to
be designated the "Asylum Bond R .1 tnptton and
Interest Fund," to be applied et< iusively to the
payment of Lhe int c-s: t>l tb- * \-ylil > B'tud*-' aad
lor the redemption of the same; and lhe. faith of
tlie Stale of Calilornia is hereby pledged for the
payment, as herein provided, of the principal and
interest ot the said "Asylum Bonds."
The Act further provides hai if a POri Ins oo-
uur on the 1st of Janua J and July, on notice
given, bonds may be redeemed; aud so on until
he interest and principal is all paid.
Is this act a Iraudutent attempt lo raise $1,125,*
000 iu 1861, by an onerous tax for some clandestine iniquitous party purpose ? Or shall we attri
t to the igno nee of the do niti nt Republican party? Treasurer Asblej in his report, dated
December 15th, 1862. page 23, estimates the taxable prop-arty oi the Slate at SI50,000,000
round number*. (It will be more uext year.)
Tlie three-lourths of one per cent, lax levied by
Sec. G, above quoiod, will raise in 3864, the
enormous sum of $1.] 25,000.' The workings of
this law, should the people' by their vote, sustain
it, would be this: On the first of March, 1864 a
tax will be levied; on the 1st of July, I* i the
bonds are to issue.    The tax being collected under

George Smythe, the lale Lord Strangford. once
told me that, staying at Widmer Castle with the
Duke of Wellington, Lhe Duke informed him
looming at breakfast that be was obliged to go up
to London immediately, aa all his razors required
Betting, but he woujd be back to dinner. Lord
Strangford very naturally offered to land the Duke
his razor*, which, luckily for the Duke, he did nol
accept; tot Lord Strangford, who waa somewhat
careless about his personal appearance, shaved with
razors someihing like miniature «iwb, whicb made
one shudder to look at. Lord Strangford then offered to take tbe razors to Dover, but the Duke ra
plied : ''The man who always sharpens my razors
has sharpened them for many years ; I would not
trust tbem with any one elae. He lives in JVrmyn
street, and there they must (go. So you see, Strang
ford, every man has a weak pom, ai.d my weak

There have been Ku&fi strange rumor-a- in eircu-
latien within a day o" t*.vo, whicb I give yon only
aB rumors;
Another change has been made, according; to
these reports, in the Mexican programme. Mexico
is to be placed under a French protectorate^ or to
become a colony oi France, with a French Prince
for Governor.
The Coofederatea lime renounced ail idea ol
regaining the Mississippi river aud the tians Mississippi country without foreign aid. Slidell's
visits to tbe*Einperor and the foreign Secretary
lately are said to be in connection with this new
state of things on the Mississippi. Tliey
are concocting schemes for an alliance against tbe
United States, v.-iih a view of securing
the oue Mexico, and lhe othe*. the Mississippi valley. The fall of Vicksburg and
Port Hadeou, they say, will throw Jeff Davis aod
Napoleon into each other's arms, and will be the
final blow wnich will precipitate ao alliance that
only hangs fire because tbe question of the Missis
sippt muy, by some .hazard, turn contrary to present expectations. It is this, ll-ey say, which Dflakee
Napoleon so lukewarm on the subject of Poland.
It, is this which makes l.'un say that Mexico la the
big affair oftbe moment. It is tbis which has so
suddunly demanded such large reinforcements in
Mexico, for the whole divis oh ofBlnoy has been
ordered to prepare ii-elf for departure in the
month of September, aid several vessels—the
Ville de Lyon, the.John Bait, and the Wagrain—
are about to sail with reinforcements to the artillery, in men and materia!; and yet thc governmeut papers declar d, afier the fail o Foebla that
there were enougb meu uow Ju Mexico to finish the
campaign.
It is also ascertained, that, on all hands, the
Emperor is finding he cannot induce England to
join bim in hostile measures agaiust the Uoited
States, or, rather, perhaps, is not desirous that
Jog'.and should join him. aud yet. anxious to give
himsell ihe aid of anally, is uow treating with Spain
on the subject, and that Spain shows a willingness
lo second lbe Emperor's views. The ^umor adds
that Marshal O'Oonnell, who is uoiv heie, ai.d is
going north to Berlin, ostensibly for the purpose
of constilliug the famous oculist Grfeffe for his
eyes, is intact in treaty with the Emperor on the
question of arranging the affairs ot lha Mexican
Gulf for their mutual  benefit.

| From   the Chicago Time?.]
A  Sliarm-1?** CuntViixIoii.
The reader will, perhaps, recollect an account
cofnmunicated to the Times, by one ofthe captains
of tbe Chicago "Irish Legion,71 some lime since, ol
tbe interview of Adjutant General Thomas wi'h the
Legion^ during bia recent visit to the troops in the
country about Memphis and Vick-burc, aud of hi-
attcm-Jt to compel tbe Legion to hurrah for the
negro policies of the administration. As Adjutant
General Thomas has pnblidied h s own account, ol
the affair, it is only fair that we should reproduce
it.   Itis as fuilcvs ;
(,I was compelled to speak to the troops along tbe
route—speaking one day so the feveti or eight times.
During my tour I met With an Irish lagiment,
the nineieentb lllinnise, froni Chicago—men who
read tbe Chicago Times- After talking to tbem a
while. I proposed three cheers for the Prosident ol
the United States, Theae were given beariily*
Three cheers were then prop-Dreed for the Bettlcd
policy ofthe Uoited States with regard to tbe ["**?-
groes. This w_,s met with piles of 'No! N.i!' The
Colonel was absent, and tlie Lieutnant Colonel was
in command .1 inquired what such conduct meant.
■'Ih Lieutnant Colonel endyavored t> excuse
the men by sny \_t lhat tbey had no oppor unity to
think over the matter. I replied, 'You aro nol
telling tbe troth, Sir! I know that they have been
discussing tbis quesiion for a w*..'!_ past. I know
tho fact, il you do not.' The officer was cousidera
ble mortified. I ordered iho-e who were opposed
to tbis policy of the government to step forward,
and said I koew the regiment had seen considerable service and fought well j but I also knew that
there was bm little disci pi ine observed among them;
that I wauUd a distinct recogniiinn of this doctrine
— tbat was the point with me. Several stepped
forward. They were instantly seized aod seat lo
the guard bouse.
'T then left the ragiment, teiliog them I would
gite them a week 11 aonsider what tliey would do.
At tbe next station! met the Colonel of tbe regiment, who begged that I would leave the mailer
in his li; nds; aod he wm.ld see that tbe men were
taught the duty of eoldie-s I complied witli tbe
request, Wtien I reached Memphis I waB taken
sick. When I afterward got up to Louisville, I
was shown a long article fiom the Chicago Timet,
written by a captain ol the Nineiieth Illinois, wb0
was not on the ground at lha lime of their insubor
dinate -rilsconduet, but who saw fit to write a very
insubordinate article io reference to what be heard
I had said, and In which'he terribly distorted tha
facts.    He was, of course, dismissed from, lhe  ser-
Whether or not the Captain -■-terribly distorted
the laet^,'; the substantial facts stated by bim are
leiterated by the Adjutant General. These Sub
stantial facts ure that the Legion re^pouded heartily to the cal! for cheers lor the President of the
United State.0, but refused to the call tor cheers lor
the negro policy ofthe admu: .trutiou, and tbat
the Adjutant General wan very harsh wiih tbe Legion idr the refusal, sending many of the men to
the guardhouse, and severely lecturing ibe officers-
This admisstdn of these f-uhsUiuial (ttctsby the
Adjutant Grfneral ia precisely wbul we have wanted*
We have wanted a conf-j.-.-ion ol the fact that to.
administration seeks to compel the soldiers to appro-re, and to make outward demonstrations in ta*
vor of tbe negro poliiics. We have wanted such

country should know that the administration fed

But it is a confession tbat we hate riot expected
to bave. We have not, expected Lhat Adjutant
Geueral Thomas, Or anybody else on account of
the administration, would be so shameless as to
make it. Is it any wonder, tinder the confession^
that freemen should recoil from the diatt■? Is ii
any wonder tbat volunteering bas stopped ?
The Chicago Irish Legion volunteered to fight
for the Union ; tliey had scarcely entered the ser-
Tice when it was rJeaaoded of them that they
should hurrah for the negro policies of the admiu-
■jstratioo 7 Democrats at home see in this their own
ftittir* experience it they should volunteer or respond in their persons to the draft,.
In all this we have another instance of the criminal folly, or worse of the ailtninistration. We
only wish ihere waa the slightest ground of hope
that we might see the eud of *ucu folly before we
see the end ofthe administration.
Tsiixi-v! It's a FAiu-nti --The Green Lake Spectator, ono of lhe stiffest kind of R publican fleets

"For ourselves, we believe lhat the issping or
this order was worse to our cause than any defeat
in the field we have ever suftered, Hereaftar men
of political influence c.ixn talk what they please,
discourage enlistments ru any manner, damn the
Government and bless tbe rebels lo their hearts
content, with perfect impunity.—This Administra
tian is so weak, fickle, vacillating, tbat even its
friends find it difficult to help despising it. With
the cxcepiton of those wtto live on "greenbacks,'-
we don't believe there are enough men in the
country to form a regiment, who do nol believe the
Administration is a miserable,contemptible failure.
If we believed that tbe Democ'raiic party was as
patriotic as courageous, we should pray morning,
noon and night, lo all ihe powers above and beneath, to hurry up the next Presidential election
All this Administration seems lo think of is to
sin and repent. All it seems to be capable of doing is to issne "greenbacks' aud bury soldi-era."

Even the Sunday Mercury—a paper which is always sure for the administration—says :—-'Thera
are hut two possible ways of attaining peace. Ooa
is, the independence of the South and the existenca
of two rival confederacies; the other, the extinction
os slavery —the real cause of the war—by gradual
or immediate cmanclpaiion, and tho re-union of
free States. Ilie idea of a patchwork peace, that
would not hold together for a decade, is the coi-
Cfptioo of small minds, and is impossible ofre-
alizalion."
Every newspaper which Is, in the slightest degree, tinctured with B:ack Republicanism, proclaims that there must be no peace but with tho
carrying out of ihe Confiscation act and the Emancipation edict.
Itis not, therefore, a war for the Union, it is a
war for purely partisan purposes; an unconstitutional war, which is not to end even if the Soutli
sues lor peace, and calls for a restoration ofthe
Union as it was.

Por riot believing iu lhe present administration,

But this is not enough. Every trick is resorted
to in order to drite the democrats into the commission oi some unlawful act that the administration
may have an excuse for annihilating them with
grape and canister. Ben Butler and his admirers
are anxious to hang eve.y man Who dares to speak
in favor ol the Conslilution or ol American Liberty;
and die people have become so much accustomed
to these things thai thoy no longer marvel when
they htar democracy and treason hscd as synonymous terms, They no longer wonder when the
