37. the sentinel of the Seventy-first. by J. B. Bacon. In the midnight zenith gleam the stars. Swift as their rays my soul speeds on, Leaping the streams and the forest bars, On to the heights of Washington. There on the star-lit camp-guard's round, Footfalls I hear of a sentinel, Steps that I love, and the welcome sound Of a voice I know — it cries, “All's well!” “Well!” for our land and our starry flag; “Well I!” for the rights and the hopes of man, Echoes from plain and from mountain crag, “Well! all's well!” from the army's van. Sons of our homes! while the smiles ye love Prayerfully float round your banners of war, Look, 'mid the gleam of your bayonets, above! God holds the guerdon of Victory's star! --N. Y. Tribune,

with rage for war with England in 1812, with Mexico in 1846, and after a few weeks no more soldiers could be gotten out of it for either. The tremendous outburst of ferocity that we witness in the Northern States, is simply the repetition of one of the most common traits of their national character. It is the fashion of the day, the humbug of the hour, and it will cease as suddenly as it has commenced. Like straw on fire, the periodical sensations of the North make a great flame, but to sink to the ashes and the dust of indifference as swiftly as they sprang. It is easy, and to them amusing, to indulge their tastes of this sort in bloody talk about invading the South, in mobbing a few of them hitherto suspected of sympathy with us, in joining volunteer companies, running off to cities like Washington, by way of Annapolis, where no brickbats are on the road; but in three or four weeks the superfluous gas will be gone, and Yankees will be Yankees again.--Richmond Examiner, May 3.

New York, May 3.--The mate of the schooner D. B. Pitts, lately arrived from Charleston, says that there is no doubt that nearly 200 men were killed in the batteries during the engagement, and that most of them were buried on the beach. He says that on the nights of the 15th, 16th, and 17th instant, the steamboat which plied between the city and the batteries took down an aggregate of about 200 coffins. He was informed also by a gentleman who had a brother and brother-in-law in the garriso obtaining any answer, he finally received a note from one of the officers, stating that they had both been killed, and that their bodies could be sent for, which he was about to do. He learned from various sources that the number killed in Fort Moultrie was 39, but could not ascertain the number in the other batteries. He is positive as to the shipment of a large number of coffins on board the steamboat on the nights mentioned, having seen them taken on board himself.--N. Y. Tribune, May 3.

Charleston, May 3.--A Northern paper informs us that there is hardly a house (in Philadelphia) from which the triune colors are not floating, and woe betide the unfortunate householder whose colors are wanting when called for. When the Commonwealth of Rome was subverted, the people were compelled to worship the image of the despots whom the brute force of the mercenary soldiery had elevated to brief authority. So it seems the Black Republican mobs of the Northern cities compel the peopl city. It is also stated, that every window-shutter is tied with the inevitable red, white, and blue. Canary cages are trimmed with the national colors, and dogs perambulate the streets wrapped in the star-spangled banner. Oh, what a fall was there, my countrymen! The star-spangled banner has gone to the dogs. Babylon the great has fallen, and is become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. --Charleston News, May 3.

Albany, N. Y., May 3.--The Northern spirit is illustrated by the following incidents :--A few days since, a company from Ogdensburgh came without orders, the first knowledge of the existence of the company being their presence at Albany. They were inspected and mustered in. Next day, another company from the North Woods came in the same way. Next day, Frank Palmer's company, from Plattsburgh, telegraphed that they were coming, unless forbidden. They arrived, 95 men, immediately after. Yesterday the newspapers gave notice of the Depeyster company, Capt. Curtis, coming. It arrived today, giving the first notice of its existence to the Department. This evening, Capt. Bartlett's company, from Odgensburgh, came the same way. It will be inspected and mustered here. Three hundred and eighty companies are required for the 30,000. To-day there were 415 companies entered.--N. Y. Tribune, May 4.

so long upon our substance. We have made them great and prosperous I And they know not the source of their own prosperity! They crammed, and blasphemed their feeders. By tariffs, navigation laws, internal improvements, and infernal appropriations, they swallowed up all our revenues. In their vanity and pride of heart they mocked at God--forgot him — mocked at us — and now seek to destroy us! Shall God suffer the guilty, the presumptuous, the vain-glorious, the usurpative, the aggressive, to thrive, and triumph over those who have been only too submissive? No! Their insolence nears its end! They have reached the length of their tether! Henceforth, the South alone shall reap the large benefits and blessings of Southern culture and industry. May the great Father of the universe keep us, while enjoying the marvellous blessings of our own section, from any undue pride of heart! May He keep us always duly mindful of Him who is the great Source of all!--Charleston Mercury, May 3
