The Planter had the larboard side
OF her cabin and her chimneys blown
away. The portion OF the cabin

was the Planter struck by the storm
that her boilers, even, were thrown
a little out Of place. She broke her
mooring, and in this dismantled con.

The CLERGY ON THE LAwYERs.-
A Boston paper relates Of Mr.. Lee,
a Methodist clergyman noted for his
wit. that he was riding from Boston
TO Lynn, and on the road was over
taken by two Boston Lawyers. The
profession Of each was SOON known;
and in reply to q query II Mr.. Lee
ever made mistake in his preaching
and If so If he ever rectifed IL; MI.
Lee answered that he did make mis-.
takes sometimes, but, if they were tri-
vial, he did not stop to correct them.
"FoI instance" said the preacher, 81
went TO quote the text, 'alI liars shall
have their part in the lake that burn.
eth with fire and brimstone,' and by
mistake | said, 'all lalcyers,' and il
was so nearly true | did not think it
worth while to correct it." '-'."

THE DAY AFTER THE BATTLE

THE DAY AFTER THE BATTLE.c
On a surface Of two square miles
it was ascertained that fifty thousand
men and horses were lying. The
luxurious crop Of ripe grain which
had covered the field Of battle, was
reduced to a litter, and beaten in the
earth; and the surface trodden down
by the cavalry, and furrowed deeply
by the cannon wheels, strewn by ma,
ny relic Of the fight. ain1"n
Helmet and cutlasses, shattered
firearms and broken swords, all the
variety Of military ornaments; Ian
cers' caps and Highland bonuets; uni
forms of every color, plume and pen
non; musical instruments, the appa-
ratrs Of artillery, drums, bdgles; but

Mothers, wives, and children, for

Sober Thoughts.

We find in the Charleston Mercury of the 10TH. an
article OF unusal force Such points suit our views
we embrace below in very condensed FORM The
rst session OF the Congress just closed was one of
mitigated Federalism. Southern democrats presiding
over both branches, federalism and its attendant nro
hgacy attained sway never before reached in this
country The expenditures under the peace establish
ment OF previous administration were about tvent,,
i've million, and we find that they reached about fifty
million during the late and former session Congress-
Bills approprating about forty million of the peope's
money went through the Senate three OF four hours
The public lands from which we have raised revenue
OF three or four million annually have been suuander-
ed upon all sorts ofwid projects. One State got about
seven million acres and another bill appropriated about
ninety million more. The revenue from the public
lands must soon cease and is plain that the South
will have to supply twothirds of the deficit thus made
Then we have the compromise measures, fraud more
wicked in politics was practised on people
California pushed forward by Executive influence =
and the other measures providing no efficient protec
ton to slave property in the territories is urged on as
the best we could do are got through and are sane
toned by the President and we are told not TO ask for
our rights because the North may rip up the comnro-
mise, and drive the South out of the Union. This is
dasardly fear it is unworthy of men it is DISGRACE
to freemen.
The whole North combined to fasten unon ne
the chains of subservience and inferiorty and
southern men were found ready to act as the in
struments tor rivetng these degrading letters mon
their country. Time is all that they now ask to
crown this nefarlous policy with complete triumnb
The southern States hemmed in, they saw. have
only to I'LL up with their own increase. in order
to undermine slavery by making slave labor val
ueless.
The compromisers and their abolition allies
might well decide to rest upon these achievements
They have attained point, whence further ao-
erosion might endanger all their conquests. The
fruits OF these victories We're to be gathered upon
Inc mask OF peace and forbearance. If they could
only persuade the South to rest under the past mi
qutles to submit, no matter with what secret dis
content, to the condition of inferiority fixed upon
her by these measures, time would do the rest
and seal the supremacy of the North and the colo,
NAL subJugation of the South. Submission thew
