Captain w r. oaines,
81 The Boy. Defender of Ksntueky's Honor
He left the green hills meath his native sun cleaning,
Friends and kindred, ne babe them soldiers adIen.
And every loved being was swept from his view.
Oh his high noble brow shadow sleeping,
Nor for friends kindred a he weeping,
In thought OF his country alone his heart STEPPING
As noby to hgh, in her battles he flew
Aye, nobly he bore the brigh, emblem above him,
And vowd in his spirit to shield il or die;
With honor guide him. and woman TO love him,
He rushed with his siIken flag streaming on high,
He rushed with onward, where cannons deep kneing.
And musketry's Iaule, their thousands were telling
Where the tide OF destruction IN crimson was swelling,
And wildly the death shout OF comrades came by.
Unsheathcd was his sword and his banner still streaming
When foemen their numbers poured down on the plain
When wildly the wargod in red blood was gloatipg,
And every green spot had its dark .coitcd stain.
oh, thes, where the m sddest Of battle raging,
And soldiers with widne's the comba, were waging-
Oh fhsr, his bright steel with the ioemsn gsging,
And holly they pressed him TO yield, but 10 vain.
When in The struggle his comrades bending,
And focmen rushed mad, on the fag Of The Ps,t-
Then them the proud boy, the fair gut was defending.
Again the bright banner nniainted was waving,
Again the young heart the dark oem.n was Drawing
The boy had tece shielded the flag Of the Uet
That night, when hi, comrades lay wounded and ,eepog
Pale, weary and worn by the battles rude fray,

And guarded It's glory with pride all the day;
And then the loved banner his heart EMBEDDING,
And honor each moment his spirit moulding,
As silent he stood in the mdng ht beholdng
The ladies' fair tribute, with breezes AT play.

The THRAsHER MRETISG.-ln accordance
with the call the public meeting to express the
feeling of the people of New Orleans respecting
the treatment of John s. Thrasher by the Span
i-h authorities in Cuba, multitude assembled
last evening in Banks Arcade. The spacious
area of the place was crowded TO its utmost
capacity, and the several doorways were throng-
ed by those who cQNld not obtain admission.
The meeting was organized by the appointment
of the Hon. Joshua Baldwin for president A
number of our prominent citizens were appoint
ed vice presidents.
Several speeches were made, among which was
one of considerable spirit and eoquence by j.
l., Matthewson. A series of resolutions were
adopted setting forth the wrongs of Mr.. Thrash
err, and calling upon our government to demand
the unconditional surrender of his persen, and
enforce the demand, if necessary. At this state
of the proceedings resolution was proposed
by person in the crowd that the Spanish consul
lar flag should not be permitted to be raised in
New Orleans until Mr.. Thrasher be released.
This was received with cries of war, and much
excitement ensued, during which the resolution
was adopted but Col. Campbell, Col Pslfrey
and Others, addressed the meeting at some
length, declaring their adherence to the laws and
reliance on the ability and willingness of our
government to vindicate the national honor, and
the resolution was, on motion, reconsidered and
laid upon the table. The meeting then ad.
journed to meet at Union Hall, Lafayette, to-
morrow evenng.-N o. Picayune, 10Th inst

HE MEANS OF RUssIA.-Gov KossUTH, in
he course of his speech to the New York mill
tary, said:
The whole power of Russia, or what il can
raise, consists of 100000 men. That is the en-
tire power OF Russia. And you mt st consider
that II has an immense territory and territory
the population OF which is oppressed. The
tranquility and the order of the grave, and not
the order of contentment, can only be kept in
Russia itself by the armed power of the Gar.
Now, it is not much when | say that at least
two hundred or two hundred and fifty thousand
men are Indispensable to keep up tranquility in
the interior of Russia ITSELF 100000 men, at
least, il wants to guard its frontiers which ex-
tend from Siberia down to Turkey 100000
men it wants, at least, to keep down the ripe
spirit of oppressed Poland. Cheers Now,
take all these together and you will see that
Russia scarcely can, at the utmost, employ
100000 men tor foreign war. And really, in
any case, did she ever employ more? History
tells us that in the greatest struggles for life ior
existence, il was not able to dispose of more than
100000 men at most, for foreign war.
Now the million of Gil. en- soldiers of Hun
gary would not want TO be so brave as they are
to be match to those 100000 men. lGr.at
applause. And therefore The first effect of re
stored independence aud freedom of Hungary
would be, that, should the Gar of Russia--tat
arrogant mortal, but dust in the hands of God
once more have the pretension TO put his foot
upon the neck OF other meu-as he dared 10
boast he had the destiny TO oo--his power would
break upon the first barrier-upon hungary
Not only would it break, but Hungary would,
assaulted and attacked by Russia, carry nome the
danger 10 ITSELF And it would find mighly allies
in tire Russian empire Won know usnrl.nao
that even after the short war in Hungary, Rms
STA was obliged to raise loan in England W..
would hld IN our ally in Russia the oppression
of the nation. And, of course, steps would b.,
followed and accompanied by q liberation; and
we would hnd it 70 be our ally the Polish M
tionality, which Is not restricted TO Polapd-it ia
spread through the wide provinces of lathuani,.
Gaacia, &c.
This all proves that The might of Russia is not
so immense as to be intimidaIlng in lat cau.e
Hungary once free, Russia would never more
dare to threaten European liberty. Blu. if Rus
STA is reallyso weak this, why do ask vour
support aud your aid against Russian interven-
uonF The motive of my humble request is that
Russia is very near to Hungary. Only at thirty
hours one of its great armies stands prepared. To
move at whatever time, To crush down liberty
So being so near, these 100000 men of r ,ssia.
which II can employ for a foreign war, would
crush down Hungary before we had time TO or
ganize and develope our forces,

are out of the need of Mr. SHARKsy's interpo-
sition, and Mr.. SHARKEY relieved from the
trouble of soliciting in their behalf All this
time, British charges, consus, DULLES and buc
cancers are lording it over Central America
sowing dissentions between the different States

to resist them. la this way they will be brought

ally colonized and in future become a shorn in
the side of the United States.
Will not General SHIELDS call up, or renew
his call, for information on this subject at an
early day. It's of quite as much consequence,
should think, as the mode of receiving the
illusirious Hungarian exile, or the approval of a
compromise adopted not a twelve-month ago,
by the same body. The people of the United
States are neither bats nor owls. They cannot
exist in the dark. They want to know whether
by the two contending parties have or have not,
been reconced II the former, they want to
know on what basis; if the latter, they want to
know the why and the wherefore. They may
admire the Mysteries of Paris" but they don't
admire the mysteries of Washington. 1t is no
time to tell them what has been done, when
what is done is beyond remedy. As one of
them, respectfully invite the gallant General to
renew his call for information at an early day.

sW~ Mr.. MATTHEW, the British consul at
Charleston, has sent 10 the Governor of South
Carolina a communication touching the impris-
onment of colored slaves at that port. This
was sent 10 to the House on Saturday last. The
reading of the communication was ordered by
the House; but, on motion of Mr.. MEmmrNeER,

lature. After some debate az to the disposition
of the document, it was referred to the Com
mittee on Colored Population.
The ssme document, in the Senate, was unan-
imonsly laid on the table without debate.

rY- We find this item of intelligence float


ing among many of our exchanges:
"Gen. Foote, on his way to Washington,
passed through Montgomery, Ala and, at the
solicitation of many citizens, delivered a speech
in the representative chamber A correspondent
of the Tuscumbia Albanian, gives the follow
ing outline of his remarks;
He took decided ground against the reorgan-
ization of old parties, or the observance of old
party distinctions, and very pointedly enjoined
upon all Union men of both the Democratic and
Wing parties, to cooperate in fostering and
perpetuaiing our government as il is by driving
from the land all the dsatfection caused by abo-
lition and fanatical movements In the North,
and Southern Rights or disunion associations in
the South. He cautioned the Union party
against reposing con hdence in those heretofore
identified with these factions, until they bring
forth fruit meet for repentance. He thinks
t,oenty years penitence is Mtie enough 10 restore
them 10 fun confidence"

OUTWARD ApoRNINGs.-A New York CORES
pendent of the Oswego Advertiser gives the fol-
lowing statement as illustrating to what extent of
extravaganza those who wish to main tain conspic-
uous positions In external show, are driving each
other:
How much iewelry will good taste permit a
lady to wear in public, is question lately raised
among the ladies' fthe beau monde, by one of their
number appearing at the opera, bedecked with
some $50 900 worth of jewery. Her head was
covered with diamonds, so that it looked like
cluster of stars, and 1t quenched into ndstin-
guishable nothingness the pretenslons to toilets in
Its vicinity. OF course such thing has caused a
good deal of talk among our fashionable ladies'
and the agitation viii doubtless extend to the;
utmost bounds of W omandom, have taken pains
for the benefit OF your lady readers, to CLEAN some
interesting information jewelry in general from
the proprietors of one Of our largest ewery estab
ishments, and who may be considered good au-
thority on such matters. They inform me that
they sometimes sell jewelry worth SOS 900 Such
sales are rare. Sets worth SIS 900 or 800 900 are
more frequently sold; while from 50 900 to SIC 900
is often paid for necklace, bracelet breastpin nd
ear.lewes. | saw some beautiful 81 900 sets of
ewery, and some ladies' watches, for which the
modest sum Of $500 each was asked also ri, gs
and breaspns, at the low price of 81 500 each
Gold card cases set with diamonds were
TO be had at $500; and beautiful things they are
for lovers to present to their sweethearts Speak
ing of lovers and sweethearts reminds me that the
same gentlemen told me that they often sell from
FIVE to ten thousand dollars worth of bridal pres
ents per week. The honeymoon season is ever a
harvest time, and that is moon that for them, at
least, never Wanes."

SPECIAL ORDER.

FIRE ANNIHLAToR ExPERIMRNr.-An interes-
ting experiment with Phillips Fire Annhilator
took place this morning, just above 6lst street,
near the proposed new City Park, in the presence
of about thirty gentlemen. A pit, about six by
twelve feet, had been dug and filled with 500 gall
Ions Stockholm tara very inhamable substance.
A few uood shavings were scattered over its sur
face, and when the whole completely envel-
oped in flames, making very hot fire, and throw
ing off dense column of smoke, the Annihilator
was brought to bear upon it. In minute and a
halfit was altogether extinguished-the gas and
vapor issuing from the machine, seeming to de-
your the flames almost instantly, whenever
brought in contact with them. The experiment
was regarded proving the utility of the Annihi-
hilator extinguisher of fire in the early sta
ges OF its progress. Mr.. Philips briefly addressed
the spectators, stating that he had never proposed
to do'Gway with the use of water by his machine,
but to make the latter auxiliary to the former
He would have it in the possession of every fam
lily, that in of fire it could be speedily put
in requlsition, before, in ordinary cases, water
could be procured For localities where water
cannot be readily obtained, he contended that his
invention must prove invaluable.
The cottage which it had been intended to FIRE
was not in readiness, the excessive cold weather
having prevented it's completion. Ii is new and
well built structure, say 25 by 30 feet. 1t is pro-
posed to set it on fire at one o'clock to-morro "

~ kossUTH has made another speech in
New York to the militia, which produced great
sensation among the citizen soldiers The Her
aid sums up the proceedings thus
'The presentation of Kossuth to the first
division of the New York State militia, at Castle
Garden, last night, was a magnificent affair.
The uniforms Of the various companies showed
to the greatest advantage, and the whole arrange
ment, so far as the gorgeousness of spectacle is
concerned, has not probably been hitherto sur
passed on this continent. The speech of the
Magyar, in reply to General Sanford, as was
anticipated, was patriotic in the extreme, and
met with torrents of applause. 1t is on occa-
sions of this kind that the great Hungarian evil
IDENTIFY feels most at home-he sees around him
the strong arms and willing hearts for defence
against despotism, his features become animated
and he launches out into such oratory as but
few if any speakers ever equaled Toward
the conclusion, Kossuth remarked that he had
been presented with an American sword, which
he held in his hand, and made solemn vow that
it should be always faithful in the cause of free
dom--ever first in battle, and never polluted by
ambition or cowardice"
The Journal Of Commerce gives the following
additional particulars
4" The speech was frequently interrupted by
applause, and was received throughout with the
greatest enthusiasm. Afterits conclusion, Mai.
General Sanford offered the following resolu-
tons, which were carried by acclamaton:
RESOLVED, That this division sympathises most
deeply with the Hungarian nation, in it's struggle
to maintain its independence, against the CON-
bined powers of Austria and Russia; and deems
the Intervention of Russia in the affairs of Hun
gary, violation of the laws of nations, and an
outrage upon justice and humanity.
Resoiped, That we regard Hungary as having
entitled herself TO the position of an independ-
ent nation; and we respectfully urge her recog-
nj ion by our government at the earliest appro-
pirate season.
Resolued, That we hold the right of every
nation to regulate its own domestic concerns,
without the interference of any other power
principle of international law and that we will
urge the recognition of this principle by our
government in its intercourse with foreign ma
TONS
RESOLVED, That, for the purpose of aiding the
Governor of Hungary in his efforts to establish
the independence of his country, a committee
be appointed, consisting of the general officers,
and three officers from each regiment of this d.
vision, for the purpose of collecting subscrip.
tons from this division, and to unite with any
committee to be appointed by our fellow-citizens,
in aid of the Hungarian fund.
When the last one was read Captain French,
of the La Fayettee Fusiliers, proposed that the
money should he raised by company subscrip-
tons, and rendered on behalf of the company
under his command, the sum of 81 ,000
Gov, Kossuth then retired, and the meeting
dispersed in good order"
