The New York Herald is trying a second edition
of its hoax, in connexion with the Donaldson and
Greer correspondence, by publishing q call for a
Democratic National Conventon.-Bost Post.
That this call is hoax we have no doubt; nor
have any doubt that the correspondence, 80 far
as Greer and Donaldson were concerned, is hoax;
but the letter from Benjamin F. Hallett is genuine
in which he says that, in Massachusetts, "the De-
u,ocracy is about dsbanded and merged in Free soil
ism, but portion will be left who will affirm the
national principle, and, when this is done, the rest
will hypocriticaly pretend 10 be ioiM u.s." The let
ter from George H. Browne is genuine, in which he
says "MoNEY is the great element in Rhode Island,'
and in which he says that Governor Aliens own
reelection may be SO involved in the Presidential
contest to secure his "immense wealth and un-
surpassed obstinacy and lberality'' to the aid of
General Houston. The letter from Mr.. Giddngs
was genuine, and SO all the others, except
those from Greer and Donaldaon, by which the
others were called out.-Prooidence Journal

WHAT OTHERS SAy.-The Natchez Courier, in
noticing Senator Soule's recent speech at Opelou-
sas, has the following just and sensible remarks
''Thc gentleman from Bordeaux, who misrep-
resents Louisiana in the United States Senate
Senator Soule mean-has been making re-
markably gassy speech at Opelousas recently. 1t
is as rich specimen of incipient revolutionary de-
magoguism as any of A. g Browns choicest efforts,
and is fully as belicose any ever made by any
of the defunct representatives of State Rights ul-
traism.
''Mr. Soul6 remarked that he once thought the
South going to be true to herself but she had
yielded and given up the epoils, and had falsfed
herself by not redeeming her solemn pledges; that
she had been basely uniaithful to her own rights,
and that he not going to submit, even if Lou
isana die! 1t is strange that the gentleman from
Bordeaux consents any longer to represent State
which, in his opinion, has so dsgraced herself ~
If our Louisiana friends wish to know how to cure
Senator Sou6 of his utraism, give them an
infallible prescription Let the people once decide
at the polls for acquiesconcc, and no matter how
he may buster now, he will 'peaceably sccede' in
the ehorcst possible time from all his decamatory
arrogance. The remedy has been tried repeatedly
in Mississippi of late, in where the fever ran
fully as high in Soue's, and it quieted the pa
tient down in an incredibly short time The tiger
has not merely lain down with the lamb, but if one
could believe the voice, it has been transformed
entirely into that peaceful emblem of submission
Our Louisiana friends should try the remedy or
the gentleman from Bordeaux"

nlA fort


II Is saddening to witness the effects Of time upon
those old landmarks that connect us with former
days. AS they crumble into decay kind Of ro-
nance TO be spread around them, and we
walk amid their ruins investing them with thou
sand fancies. They seem moro endeared as their
harsh points soitened by distance and subducd
by the mist OF years. Numerous legends cling
around the ruins of old buildings long since de-
serted, giving them a peculiarly sorrowful infiu-
ence. We imag CINE their former inma tes the CAV

their names and features have long since been for
gotten.
Fort Armstrong; gradually becoming humbIcd
by time. The barracks that once resounded will,
the tread of sodery, echo back only the twill
terng of sparrows by day, and the gloomy boot Of
the "solitary bird" by night. The embrazurcs
that sheltered the "deep -mouthed cannon" are
cred with moss, and rank weeds creep over the
grey battlements
"Secure ARAoHNE spreads her slender tolls DER
the worn buckler,
Eating rust consumes the veDgefu swords, and
once far cleaning spears.
No more the II ump of war swelsis hoarse throat,
Or robs the eyclids of their genial slumber."
The fort for period of twenty years garri-
soned with United States soldiers-Scott, Taylor,
Gaines, Atkinson, and many others, whose cx-
PLOTS inscribed on the pages of our countrys
history, formerly its bosom friends. II has
sheltered Black Hawk, Keokuk and Neapope,
whose deeds OF daring were never surpassed, and
whose war paint was made OF the blood Of tber
foemen.
Their names are entwined around its ramparts
and long after the latter shall have become obte-
rated the hallowed recollection ofthese heroes will
survive as bright and glorious ever. It's former
consequence had departed, still in its loneliness it is
respected. Its present quiet contrasts strongly
with the martial cangor that was wont 10 pervade
it. We shall have to bid the old fort adieu.

soon be numbered with the "things that WERE"
