Scene—Williamson-square.
Time—Any evening since Christmas.
The shadows of night were coming down swift,
And the dazzling snow lay drift on drift,
As thro' "the Square" a figure did go,
Carrying a flag with this motto,
Yellow ho !
•

O'er a forehead pale came copious hair,
His nose retrousse, complexion fair;
O'er his tightish eye all auburn lash ;
His chin was close shaven, and no moustache.
Yellow ho

He stealthily looked "the Square all round,"
To ECC if " a peeler" was there to be found.
•At the big gas lamp he made a stop,
As if he meant placing the flag on the top.
Yellow ho

As upwards he clambered,' he thence did see
A number of families sitting at tea ;
lie eyed the dishes and plates very keen,
To see if his " Yellow" was there to be seen. '

" Oh! don't go up," said an old woman, " stop
It's freezing 'like blazes' up there on t top,
You'll tumble off on t'other side;"
But the spectacled stranger loud replied—
.....

" Yellow ho !"

Oh! please don't go up such a shocking night;
Come sleep on my box, said a cabbie bright ;
On his pallid cheek a tear-drop come,
But still he remarked, as he upward clomb,

Yellow ho !
Look out for the branch of that high cross-tree,
Dodge falling ice if any you see.
With that "the Party" went home to bed,
And a Einglar voice replied overhead,

Yellow ho !

At a quarter-past six that same afternoon,
An astronomer, taking a look at the moon,
Heard spoken above him, as often as twice, •
The very same words, in a very weak voice,
Yellow ho

When " the peeler" came round at a quarter past seven,
He was slow in "his beat," the road being uneven,
Found the stranger dead in the drifted snow,
Still clutching the flag with this motto—.

Yellow ho l

Yes! lifeless, defunct, without any doubt,
The "lamp of his being" decidedly out;
On the dreary flagstones " poor Kelly" was lying,
And 'twas no more use for him to be saying—

Just call at the ":Butter Place !"--look at his ghost
He sits us the window, and looks safe and sound,
And will sell you some " Yellow " at Bd. the pound. •

that he is under the netessity 'of announcing that,
oVVing to the tinfavoitratle state Of his Irealth, he
is 4liged to diSeentithie the pnblicatiati or this
Journal. It is some source of acOYtsotation, under
these circurnstAnCeS, that the,Proprietor has per-
sonally no reason to regret the efforts he has
unsparingly made to render this sheet a success-
ful and popular medium of advertising, as well
as a faithful dail record of the latest news.
Vieiving the matter as a commercial undertaking,
it is no small gratification for him to be able to
reflect that, under the present management, the
revenue of the paper has been nearly doubled.
The Daily Times has, under the present man-
agement, been steadily improving, and advancing
towards a degree of prosperity which would soon,
it is believed, place it second to none in the
kingdom. The Proprietor is now more confi-
dent than• ever that enterprising perseverance in
the course which he has'hitherto followed is alone
necessary to achieve that coveted position. There
is no obstacle that would, for one moment, have
deterred the Proprietor from following up his
past success except that above stated. Had he
been enabled to bestow upon the Daily Times that
continued attention and assiduous labour which
are essential to the conduct of an undertaking of
such importance, nothing could have afforded him
more pleasure, or have been more akin to his incli-
nation, than to have continued his exertions to
render that Journal in every respect worthy of
its position as the oldest provincial Daily Paper.

Since the unavoidable resolution of the Pro-
prietor to dispose of this property was made
known, many tenders have been made for the pur-
chase of the Copyright and Plant of the Paper;
and it is still possible that an arrangement may
be made for a suitable transference. The Pro-
prietor meanwhile feels it due to the friends and
supporters of the paper to announce that the
publication will be discontinued at the end of the
present month, unless some change of proprietor-
ship shall have been previously effected; and he
therefore thinks it proper to intimate that, should
the paper be discontinued, all subscribers and
advertisers who have paid in advance will be
waited upon without delay, and receive whatever
sum may be due to them. Those indebted
to the Daily pines will also please to cause their
accounts to be settled at their earliest convenience.

NEWS • OF THE DAY.

The New York and Philadelphia Company's
steamer Kangaroo, from New York on the 12th
instant, and which touched at Queenstown on
Thursday, arrived in the river yesterday morning,
bringing the following later intelligence from
New York :—The Star of the West had returned
to New York with troops, and with her bows
damaged by a shot. The South Carolina Secre-
taries of State and of War had visited Fort
Sumter under a flag of truce, but nothing had
transpired. Senator Seward made a grand con-
ciliatory speech on the 12th instant, in which he
said mutual recrimination and congressional
compromises are not likely to save the Union,
the constitution of the United States and the law
made in reference thereto are supreme. The
laws of the land are paramount to all
state legislation ; the Union can only be
dissolved by the voluntary consent of the people
of the United States in the manner prescribed by
the Constitution. The Congress ought, if it can,
to redress any real grievance of the offended
States, and should then supply the President with
the means necessary to maintain the authority of
the Union. Mr. Seward proceeded to point out
the numerous advantages of the Union, while a
dissolution, he said, will be perpetual civil war.
He concluded by saying that when the angry
excitement had subsided, and calmness had re-
sumed its sway, and not till then, would he advise
that a convention of the people be assembled to
consider what amendments in the organic national
law ought to be made.

We have given extracts from the leading
articles of two o the principal New York jour-
nals, in reference to the present state of affiiirs,
and how it ought to be dealt with.

A Foreign-office telegram from China was
received yesterday, but the only fact of import-
ance which it adds to the information contained
in that which we published yesterday through
Mr. Reuter's agency, is the circumstance of a
British steamer having ascended the Canton
waters with perfect safety.
The Daily News of yesterday has an exceed-
ingly severe article upon Sir Charles Wood,
whose course of policy towards India it condemns
in the strongest terms. The writer says that in
the most important matter ever submitted to his
judgment—the organisation of the army—Sir
Charles Wood not only contradicted himself, but
he ignored the opinion of every officer of emi-
nence in the Indian service, thereby increasing
the spirit of discontent already too prevalent in
the Indian military branch of the service, and
spreading corresponding alarm among the most
far-seeing of the Indian statesmen. The right
honourable gentleman is also complained of for
not having, long ere this, settled some defi-
nite plan for the permanent military occupa-
tion of the country, which still further adds
to the perplexity of the situation ; and lastly he
is most severely but most justly blamed for his
last act in presenting, against the remonstrance
of the Governor General, and it is said, without
consulting his council, £500,000 sterling, being half
the estimated amount of the odious income-tax,
to a wealthy descendant of one of the most violent
and troublesome enemies of the British Crown.
It is quite clear from this and other indications
that Sir Charles Wood will soon have to make
way for a successor, and the sooner that change
takes place the better for India.

It is 6.nnothiced that the Road murder case will
come before the Court of Queen's Bench next
Wednesday, when cause will be shown on behalf
of the Coroner against the rule obtained by the
Attorney-General, in reference to the appoint-
ment of a special Commission to re-investigate the
circumstances of the murder.

Another LiVerpool case of an extraordinary
character was brought before the Court of Pros
bate and Divorce on Thursday, being a suit to
set aside a marriage on the ground of fraud. The
petitioner was Margaret Lee Bevan, daughter of
a medical gentleman of this town) and the respon-
dent, James M'Alahou, an omnibu • i conductor,
also of this place. After a few intervr ,vs, a mar-
riage between the parties was solemnised by
license, on the conditions stipulated for by Miss
Bevan, that it was to be kept secret by the bride-
groom, and he was not to claim her as his wife for
two years. The ceremony having been performed
the parties separated at the church door and never
lived together. It was proved that certain false
statements had been made at the application for
a license, and for this reason it was argued that
the marriage was null and void. The lady her-
self, it appeared, had conceived a strong aversion
to M'Mahon very shortly after the marriage, and
refused to reside with him) or rather she seems
never to have intended to do so. Sir C. Cress-
Well considered the case so novel and important
that it was advisable to have it argued on the
other side, and ordered an adjournment for that
purpose.

It is said that the difficulties which beset the
volunteer movement have just received a formi-
dable accession. An order has just issued from
the War-office, declaring that in futtre all rifles
shall be kept, at the armoury, be taken thence
before drill, and deposited there immediately after
drill. A discretion is, indeed, given to command-
ing officers, with regard to the rifles used by
electives living in situations Which would make
the application of the rule in their case especially
nppressive or inoonvenient; but frequent returns
are required with regard to the cases in which
this discretion is exercised, and it is evident that
the object is so to limit and restrain it as to make
the instances of exemption exceedingly rare. The
pretext for this mischievous order is probably the
frequent misuse or neglect of rifles kept at home t
but the obvious remedy for this is greater strin-
gency in enforcing the regulation which makes
captains of companies personally responsible for
the proper use of the arms issued to their men.

AMERICA.

THE CRISIS.

By the Kangaroo, which arrived in the river
yesterday morning, we have files of the New
York journals down to the 12th, inclusive. The
leading features of the news were presented in
our telegraphic columns, yesterday, The follow-
ing observations on the present state of affairs
are taken from two New York papers, which
take opposite views of the way in which it should
be dealt with by the Federal Government.

(From New York Perald of January 12.)
THE PRESSURE OF THE REVOLUTION—THE
TIME TO SAVE THE UNION NOW OR NEVER.
Whether the Union can be saved even now is doubt-
ful ; but if not now, never. Its speedy dissolution is at
band, or a complete recognition of the guarantee of the
constitution, which is its only bond. Such is the alter-
native which cannot longer be evaded by human in-
genuity. Not only is revolution pending, but it is ac%
tually begun, and making such progress as nO revolution
ever made before. In six States the federal forts have been
seized by the State authorities. In one hostile guns have
been directed against the United States flag, and a ship
with its troops on beard, driven back by cannon balls.
This attitude of South Carolina has the sympathy, and
will have the support, of the vast majority of the Southern
people. Two or three States have already seceded.
Several others will be out of the confederacy in a very
few days, and the whole South will be cut off before
the 4th of March, and banded together in a Southern
Union, or in a position to be confederated very soon.
Yet, in the face of these alarming developments, what
are the republican party doing to arrest the triumphant
march of revolution ?! Nothing whatever, hut, on
the contrary, everything to stimulate it. Mr. Lin-
coln and the leaders are too busy in dividing
the spoils beforehand to pay much attention to
passing events. Mr. Trumbull, in Congress, supposed
to speak the sentiments of the President elect,
dismisses the question of revolution with the ludicrous
remark that "The secession movement of South
Carolina is, in his judgment, nothing "—an observation
which elicited laughter, but which was more a cause for
tears. If the question were merely one about the forts,
or the property of the federal government within the
limits of South Carolina it might be very easily settled.
But it is of far broader dimensions, embracing the
separation of fifteen States from the national confederacy ;
and whether they have a legal and constitutional right
to take the step or not is immaterial to the issue preci-
pitated upon the country.
What is the cause of this calamitous condition of
affairs ? The adoption by the republican party of the
Chicago platform, and a stern refusal to abandon the
ground that party have taken. The man who does not
see that the maintenance of the Chicago platform will
result in the dissolution of the Union, must be blind to
all the signs of the times. Whether or not, it will
also result in civil war, depends upon whether the
North, or a majority in Congress, will insist on coercing
the seceding States. The Union is now practically
dissolved, and unless the Chicago platform is aban-
doned, no power on earth can re-unite the
severed fragments. Instead of doing this, the republican
journals, including the Tribune, are urging preparations
for war. And so much exercised is our philosopher lest,
by any possibility, a satisfactory compromise should be
carried in Congress, and the impending danger banging
over us like a black thunder-cloud should be dissipated,
he urges upon all the fanatics throughout the country to
petition Congress against a peaceable settlement of the
national troubles.

The other party is founded upon principles which
abolish the constitution of the United States. The
sum and substance of the Chicago platform is that every
man, black as well as white, ought to be and must be
free in every part of the Union; that negro servitude
is incompatible with the free labour of white men,
and both kinds of civilisation cannot exist under
the same government ; and every negro in the United
States is entitled to freedom by a law higher than
the constitution. Here, then, is a revolutionary
party by its own confession. Out of its own

revolution, menacing the whole country from Maine
to Texas with civil war. The Chicago platform,
and the party standing upon the rotton struc-
ture, must, therefore, be demolished altogether.
Better that a thousand platforms and a thousand parties
should perish in succession than that the temple of
liberty erected by Washington and Madison and Jef-
ferson and Hamilton, and the other architects of the
confederacy, should be laid in ruins, and American eiti-
tens wage a bloody; fratricidal war against each other—
the end of which no man can foresee.

Time was when Greeley "spat upon the platform,"
and supported the election of the man, though that man
was a Botithetd 3614601(1er. He now spits upon the
man who created the platform, while he hugs the plat-
form itself, as a drunken man does a lamp-post. Greeley
and his party must abandon the platform, or they will
go down with it to political perdition:
The whole North must go back to the principles of
the constitution, as they were understood by those who
framed•the instrument, and by their contemporaries, for
Whom it A.M.§ Made: The North has broken the
cotenaiitt acid that is the sift of *hill it is guilty, and
which is bringing national calamity tilion us, . The Verb.
tan 'clergy hate been wonderfully zealoas in denouncing
negro servitude as the greatest of all sins, which is no
sin at all, but a beneficent Christian institution; while
they are silent about the crime of "covenant break-
ing," which is accursed of God and man. The
breach must be repaired, and the South must get what
is nominated in the bond. It asks nothing more, and
will not be totitetit with less: According to the con-
stitution; it is the duty of all the States, if there were

the early days of the confederacy. It is only in recent
years they have been denied. Their denial now is
plunging the country into revolution, and it may be into
a fruitless civil war, which could have no other effect
than ruining the whole country, North and South.

CALL TO ARMS.

The first shot has been fired by the rebels of South
Carolina; the appeal to arms has been made; the
assault has actually taken place; did in all human
probability, blood hai been spilt. But be this as it
may, the flag of the "Union has been Instated and oat-
raged by a nest of reckless and pestiferous traitors ;
and nothing now remains big to punish the rebels,
and to tindidate the laWs and the constitution.
The treason of South Carolina has never found
many sympathisers at the north; but there did
'elist A large class *he were apolOgists for mit& of hei
bad Conduct; and Who insisted that the iiotth, must
hold forth the Olive Branch; But there is no such clads
to be found now. There are now no sympathisers With
rebels and revolution—no party spirit even, which aims
to put its antagonists in the wrong. The North as one
man, is roused to action, and demands the punishment
of the traitors. The friends of compromise are obli-
terated and merged in friends of justice and defenders
of the Union ; and those who but recently were willing
to concede everything in the way of compromise, now
refuse to recognise the word. And woe to the Northern
men Who preach eMilpronlise Until the rebels of South
Carolina are punished for their treason.

The die is cast, and traitors everywhere, must be
dealt with as traitors ; and the very idea of compromise,
must of necessity, be abandoned, until such time as this
most unjustifiable rebellion is put down, and the pro-
perty of the nation recaptured. If Mr. Buchanan had
not been in league with the traitors, but had evinced a
commendable degree of patriotism and self espect—if he
had not 'egrecd to leave the forts aad arsenals at the South,
ih a defehdeless position, in Order that the traitor's might
seize them—or if; even aft'e'r his PaiticipatiOn in their
treason, he had refased to 'degrade anddisgracetbe Presi-
dency by receiving the traitors, but instead, had arrested
them for treason against the Government—the Rebellion
would never have reached its present dimensions or
extended into the adjoining States. One word in the
spirit of the Constitution in his Annual Message—the
slightest evidence that he porcee.eil the srnalleet particle
of the patriotism and firmness of Jackson, whose conduct
in 1833 we have frequently heard him extol as being
wise and patriotic—any intimation that, instead of
aiding and abetting treason, he was resolved to
put down rebellion and punish traitors; tvolild
for ever have eitingttished the gasoonade of South
Carolina and the rebellion of the South. Barking dogs
do not bite ; and it never was the intention of South
Carolina to rush into civil war. Bullying is the com-
mon resort of the Southern gascon ; and they hoped to
bully the whole North just as they had bullied the
childish old imbecile, at the head of the Government;
and one word from the Executive indicating that peace-
able accession was impossible, would have settled the
whole matter.

At all events, the arrest of Iverson and Wigfall when
they made their treasonable speeches weeks ago, and
the arrest of Toombs and Davis for smaller offences,
although it would not have saved the &its and arsenals
in South Carolina, would have prevented the seizure of
other forts and arsenals. Men who are traitors without
cause) in nine cases out of ten, are cowards also ; and it
was only necessary to prove to these men that there was
a halter in store for them, to have arrested the spread
of the rebellion, and confined it to South Carolina.
Could anything have been stronger than the case of the
traitors who not only participated in the open and
avowed treason of Carolina, but dared present themselves
at Washington and before the President as Commis-
sioners from the rebels ! They acknowledged and boasted
of their treason ; and glorifying in it, demanded to treat
with our Government ! Cobb, Floyd, and Buchanan have
actually succeeded in placing a dozen of our forts and Ar-
senals, and the major part of all our monitions of war, in
the haiids of the tkaitoirs and rebels who are in open
rebellion against the Government. And the future
historian will be compelled to admit that the treason of
1860 exceeds any thing known to the earlier history of
the country ; and the names of Benedict Arnold and
Aaron Burr will gradually sink into oblivion, and be
known only to the scholar and the historian, !because
in future treason will be described by other names—be
represented and embodied by more successful traitors.

But the past cannot be remedied. The present and
the future are to be dealt with. And thank God, the
madness) folly) and treason of the Rebels, have crushed
out all party spirit and left the whole ddniitry banded
together as one man determined to put down Rebellion
and punish Traitors. The blustering, bullying gas-
conade of the Chivalry, is now to be met by the
staid courage and quiet patriotism of the North.
Our fathers never boasted of what they could
accomplish; but by their acts, demonstrated their fear-
less devotion to principles of courage to endure and
to achieve. And so with their sons. They love
their country and its institutions; and when they say
this, it is equivalent to making proclamation, that when
necessary, all party considerations tease to existl and
that their lives and fortunes, are at the disposal of their
country. Patriotism with them is an inheritance ; love
for the Constitution and the Union is a part and parcel of
their natures, imbibed with the nourishment drawn from
their mothers' breast; animal courage is imparted to

rouse themseltes to the duty of preserving and perpetu-
ating an inheritance, won by the blood of their sires in
a seven years' struggle with the greatest power of the
earth, let no man doubt the result. Mr. Lincoln, like
General Jackson, says that the Union must and
shall be preserved, come what may. To this the peo-
ple respond amen. And as certain as we write, so
certain is it, that- the Union is in no danger. Civil
war exists; and traitors and rebels are to be put down
and punished. But it will not be a work of time, nor
will it necessarily inVolve much expenditure of blood
of treasure. The recapture of the public property is a
necessity. And as the arsenals of Charleston and Sa-
vannah have been taken by the rebels, the occupancy
and possible destruction of those cities in their recap-
ture, may become inevitable. But beyond this, no ag-
gressive act by the General Government, will be neces-
sary. We shall collect the revenue everywhere, and
satisfied with this, can and will, quietly let things take
their course. We have never yet seen the hour in which
we apprehended danger to the Union ; and least of all,
can there be danger from men who are so palpably in
the wrong, as are the gasconading and bullying rebels
of the Cotton States.
