WAR AND IT'S VICTIMS.
Translated for The Tribune from the French of Madame

Translated for The Tribune from the French of Madame De
| Stao
Many years since read of a warllke monarch
who, after brilliant victory, wept most bitterly
when he beheld multitude of men deprived Of
their lives by premedltated design-by has stud,
! led wildly HIS express command.
Historians have learned, with admiration, that
there once existed prince SO sensitive and so hui
name. lie wept instead of rejoicing, at the sight
OF hostile army entirely destroyed-at viewing
half of his own more numerous followers slain, for
such matters are always the necessary consequent
ces which pay for brilliant victories, merit
of laurel, and deserve the ecstatic euoges of po
cts.
Ii is well known, that the tear Of prince, shed at
the appropriate time is sufficient to repair all raw
ages and atone for all murders OF campaign or,
even of his whole dynasty.
Nevertheless an old Captain, of a character
rarely found near the courts of eonquering heroes,
annroached his monarch, and, with stern serious.
ness, thus addressed him;
"One shudders when he beholds the bloody plain
covered with mangled corpses-the conquerors dis
armed by death, fallen upon the bosoms of those
whom they themselves might have slain. But the
sequel Of field of battle exhibits scenes a thousand
times more sad than this before us.
"At least, these brave warriors, lying confused
in the dust, will suffer no more they have quilted
the honors and the tyranny of sanguinary ambition
But who can tell, or even imagine, the walllngs
and grief of those who loved, and still survive them?
What would become of you, sire, if that innnmer-
able host of desolated beings should suddenly APP
pear before you? If the fathers, the mothers of
these unfortunates--if their widows and children,
overwhelming by their cries and malsdictions, the
trumphal songs of victory, should flock together,
surround you, and press about you with their horr
Bile tumult of reproach und lamentation--should
they demand Of you a reckoning for all the blood
you have spilled In what manner could you shun,
or stay their rago' Upon your carts OF Triumph?
You would recognize them no more-despair has
broken them down"
We are ignorant of the answer Of the monarch,
but it is most probable that he sent the old phioso
pher captain TO noralize at his leisure upon some
desohte island, far away from courts, kings and ne
roes

COME HITLER, BRIGHT BIRD


Come hiher bright bird, from thy wild native hover,
While high in tho Hill tops the sun rises clenr,

To pay for thy music, for thee It will give
The first errisg Breathing IL throws upon air.

Where lovciness wihors and beauty is vain,

THE BEAUTIEsOFG GUAM DIGGING

Boston Post reports a case now going
on before the United States District Court in
which James Smith and fifteen other seamen
bring action against the ship Brookline. The
action is for extra wages, and also for damages
for having been taken OF a voyage TO which
they had not agreed:
They shipped in the Brookline. of Salem.

ports eastward Of the Cape of Good Hope. or
to any other ports or places to which the mas
ter might see fit to proceed to for the purpose
of procuring a cargo, and back to the United
States So said the shipping articles which
the crew signed. The first intimation of their
real destination, they got at sea, by overhear-
ing a parley between their captain and the cap
tain of another ship, bound TO lcliaboe for gut
ano After the Brookline came to anchor in
the roads at lchaboe, Capt. Allyn called upon
the crew 10 help load the Euclid, an English
ship. At first they refused, but after all sorts
of threats had been uttered i'm vain, the captain
agreed to pay each man three-pcnce sterling q
ton for loading the Euclid, and the men wen,
TO work. They afterwards filled up the Brook
line, and the ship returned TO Boston with he
cargo: but the owners resused to pay the ex

From the testimony it appeared that tin
business OF procuring guano is peculiarly per
ilous. The island is surrounded with break
ers, the wind is generally high, and men ar
drowned every day. A great many are ais,
killed by the caving in of the sides of the pits
which are as as treacherous as quicksands. o
the crews from -four to six in every vessel ar
always disabled by sickness, either by catching
cold from the heavy dews i'm the tents ashore
or from the odor emitted from the cargo OF

While working in the hold, the men can hard

unpleasant in the odor of guano, and that h
usually carried a small piece of it around i
his vest pocket, because he liked the SMELL

their extensive establishments on Main and

by any others OF our observation-disclosures
We have seen such articles as the above in

THE DISMAL SWAMP

THE DISMAL SWAMP.-A friend in
forms US that the recent fire in the Swamp has
driven from their hiding places a large number
OF runaway slaves who have, in many cases,
been secreted for years. An old black woman,
being burnt out of her capacious home, sought
out and claimed her master; and, i'm addition
to this return of property, she brought with
her eleven children, all her own, serving as an
indemnity or remuneration for her long alb
sence. Any quantity of bears, foxes, and 9TH

all that a hungry man has to do is to HE TO the
smoking meats and satiate his appetite.
