TO THE REPLY OF THE GLOBE.

TO THE REPLY OF THE GLOBE.
The editor of "the Globe" in the second
number of its reply to Camllus," attempts to
prove that III the quotations which made
from the Annual Messages Of Gen. Jackson
in my first article, there is nothing incompati-
BILE with the principle of Mr.. Gordon's bill,
"That the whole revenue of the United States
derived from customs, lands and other sources,
shall be paid in the current coin of the United
States"-and that am in reality mistaken in
my deductions from these quotations, and not
the Globe in its assertion, that this was the
proposition which President Jackson was so
solicitous TO enforce as constitutional princi-
pie" To prove this error on my part, the
Globe alleges, that did not present, in my
communication, "a solitary line from any pa
per of the late President recommending the
banks as repositories, showing that he wished
their notes to be legalized as tender, as those
of the Bank of the United States had been"
This is true, nor was it necessary; for, when
these messages were delivered, the Govern
ment ,cds, and had been previous to, and ever
since. the act Of March, 1916, in the constant
practice of receiving the notes Of all specie
pairing banks in payment Of the public reye-
nue. !; duty which the act of 1916 enjoined,
and a practice which the late President upon
no occasion iniimated a wish to correct. If
he had regarded this practice as one Of the
errors Of the system, which he so warmly and
50 earnestly recommended to Congress, there
can be no doubt that he would have recon-
mended its correction but, not having done
SO upon any occasion, it is clearly manifest
that he had no such design. If Gen. Jackson
meant, that the receipts and disbursements of
the deposite banks should be confined TO specie
only what Interpretation is 10 be placed upon
the following language in the Annual Message
Of December, 1884: Those institutions

PASSAGE OF THE RED SEA.

We find in the " Incidents Of Travel" the
following description of the route of the Is
raelites, and the place where they crossed
the Red Sea:
Late in the afternoon, we landed on the
opposite side, on the most sacred spot con-
nected with the wanderngs Of the lsraelites,
where they rose from the dry bed of the sea,
and at the command OF Moses, the divided
waters rushed together overwhelming Pha-
raoh and his chariots, and the whole host Of
Egypt With the devotion of pious pilgrim,
| picked up shell and put it into my pocket
as memorial Of the place; and then Paul
and mounting the dromedaries which my
guide had brought down 10 the shore in readi-
ness rode to grove Of palm trees, shading a
fountain of bad water, called Ayoun Moussa,
or the fountain of Moses. was riding care
lessly along, looking behind me towards the
sea, and had almost reached the grove of palm
trees, when large flock Of crows few out,
and my dromedary frightened with a sudden
whizzing, started back and threw me twenty
feet over his head, completely clear OF his long
neck, and left me sprawling in the sand 1t
was mercy did not finish my wanderings
where the children of Israel began theirs !;
but saved my head at the expense of my
hands. which sunk in the loose soil TO the
wrist, and bore the marks for more than two
month atterward. seated myself where
fell; and as the sun was just dipping below
the horizon, told Paul to pitch the tent with
the door towards the place of the miraculous
passage. shall never forget that sunset
scene, and it is the last shall infict upon the
reader. was sitting on the sand, on the
very spot where the chosen people of God,
after walking over the dry bed of the sea,
stopped to behold the divided waters return
ing to their place, and swallowing up the host
of the pursuers. The mountains on the other
side looked dark and portentious, as if proud
and conscious witnesses of the mighty mira
Gle; while the sun descended slowly behind
them, long after it had disappeared, left a re-
flected brightness, which illuminated with an
almost supernatural light the dark surface of
the water.
But to return to the fountain Of Moses. ]
am aware that there is'some dispute as TO the
precise spot where Moses crossed ; but hav
ing no time for scepticism on such matters,
began my making up my mind that it was the
place, and then looked around to see whether
according to the account given in the Bible,
the face Of the country and the natural land
marks did not sustain my opinion. ! remem-
Der looked up to the head of the gulf; there
was a high range of mountains, which it would
be necessary to cross-an undertaking, which
it would be physically impossible for 100000
people, men, women and children, to accom-
plish with hostile army pursuing them. At
Suez, Moses could not have been hemmed in
as he was. he could go off into the Syrian de-
sert, or unless the sea has greatly changed
since that time, round the head of the gulf
But mere, directly opposite to where sat, was
an opening in the mountains, making clear
passage from the desert to the shore of the
sea-"

TO JOHN WATERS-oN HIS SYRINGE"

TO JOHN WATERS-oN HIS SYRINGE"
know thee well, John Waters tho thy spelling
Is quaint and old, like theirs thou ovst to praise
The bards of long past years, in purity exceling
Far tn artificial verse Of modern days.
Thy changing hair is not yet silvered over,
No change has chilled the feryor Of thy heart,
A happy husband long, but still thou lover
Thy song the flow of feeling, not Of art.
No "Cyra" read Of in olden sonnet,
Or tabled story Of the classic time;
IT'S sweet name, and yet, my life upon il,
But changed from one thatIeads not well in rhyme
What pity for thy songs her name IS not "Maryr
What pity for my songs the name Is not NINE
For can find no other rhyme than vary"
When would sing my love as thou dos, thine.
But wary" suits not except with never
Prehxed before it, to speak consistency;
IT'S not mere will that bids me love for ever,
Fondly and true, for love is life TO me.
happy man, am sure thou art, John Waters,
Singing thy Joy that pleasant I" syringe above;
And happy she among earths geutlest daughters,
The Cya OF thy heart and Nalad OF thy love-
God bless thee, and the wells prng Of thy gadness,s
Long may il gush sweet music and no trace
or sorrows tears, clouds OF gathr ring sadness,
Dim the calm beauty of its heayen-hke face.
love TO hear thee sing: sing on, John Waters,
Nor only sing OF thai sweet Syringe" thy pride;
For though she charm thou st have tho hers
Thou hast, know, full many a song beside

the subject of discussion. The editor of the
Globe says, "That his (tbe Presidcnt's) de-

recently represented it, is.manifcst from re-

Representatives, in support OF his PROPOSE

should be collected in specie, and not in pa

FIRST BIRD OF SUMMER.

The first bird Of Summer the woodlands IS cheering,
HIS songs and his carols the meadows repea,
While hich mid the boughs of the tall pine caieerhg
The herald of music has chosen his seat.
Behold him on high from this low earth reuring'
Sublime on his thronc his dominion the ar-
sweet raptures of music his bosom inspiring
No signs Of allllction his melody share
The breeze with the fragrance offlowrets Is blowing
And waiting around the rich perfumes spring;
All nature tribute on him is bestowing,
Rich treasures of incense the morning-dews bring
O. tina, l could Ay! with the songster forsaking
The cares and vexations that earth will impart;
With him soar on high, where the white clouds are
breaking
And feast on those pleasures which circle his heart!

Gen. SANTA ANNA.-From the fol-
lowing extract from the published Cor
.respondence ofthe New York Courier
and Enquirer, our impression is con-
iirmed of the incorrectness of the re-
port of the arrest of Gen. ST. ANNA by
order Of his Government:
New ORLEANS, May 25, 1897.
Brig .Anna Dorothea arrived yester-
day from Vera Cruz.
Every thing was quiet at Vera Cruz,
but serious apprehenSions were enter
tanned of war with the United States,
which the inhabitants Of that city felt
very anxious to avert, because the
blockade of the port by an American
naval force would soon reduce them to
ruin. SANTA ANNA was still positive
ly at Mango de Clavo on the 10th, and
therefore the rumor which was afloat
at Tampico, at the latest dates, that he
had been arrested and carried to the
city Of Mexico, is decidedly unfound-
ed. A friend of mine spoke with him
on the 9th, and found him in high
spirits.
