wAR-s0NG OF THE MAGYARs.
BY GRACE GREENWOOD.


A battlo-shout for Hungary
Once more shall wake the day
A joyful summons to the brave 4.
To rally for the fray,
To grid her round. and with their swords
Make lightning on her way
The shout that each bravo Magyar heart
With wars fierce rapture fills
The shout that in the traitors veins
The coward-current chills,
Let it ring up from the valleys
And roll along the hills.
Let it sound amid the mOuntain-land,
That mighty gathering cry,
Go up from steep, and crag and cliff
Clear, terrible, and high,
Till the vultures and the eagles
Scream back their hoarse reply
Like the minglng of all fearful sounds
OF vengeance and of woe,
Like the rush of fire, the roar of foods
When wintry tempests blow,
Like tho thunder of the avalanche,
Let it sweep against the foe
God of the nations! Thou did st hear
Poor Hungsrys patient prayer,
From the prison of her anguish,
And the night of her despair,
When the groanings of her spirit
Were burdening all the air.
Thou did st fash upon her darkness
great and sudden light
Did st break her chains, and lead her forth,
And grid her for the fight,
With the weapons of thine anger,
And the arma of thy might.
Once more be thy victorious strength
On mortal hearts outpoured,
Take thou the blood guilt from our strife,
And sanctify the sword
That strikes for freedom For the right,
Make bare thine arm, Oh Lord
Bless thou our banners, till their folds
On freedoms ramparts wave,
And shade the patriots holy rest
Oh strengthen, guide, and save ~
Our PROPHET HERO TO the end
God of the struggling brave

WHITTIER CORRESPONDING EDITOR.
The National Era is an Anti-Slavery, Lite,
rary. and Political newspaper, published week
". at Washington, d. C., by e. Bailey. Its
character may be learned by the following
statement of principles
We believe
In the unity and common origin Of the hu-
man race
In the doctrine that God made of one blood
all the nations Of men, to dwell upon all the
face Of the earth:
In the golden rule" Do unto others as We
would that others should do unto voV
-.' , Law" Il, - Settes 70 obey
C,-'>hqp. tnnn
&. "a s5.7.q;- 2 'lo.Ss ,,ea,ol a,aab,f;,o %
Human Progress and Perfection:
In Law as the Defence, not Destroyer, Of
Liberty;
In Order as the result of Liberty established
and protected not subyerted, by Law
In the American Union, not as an end, but
as u means-a means to the establishment of
Liberty and Justice, worthy of support only 80
long as it shall answer these great ends
We hold these Truths to be Self Evident
THAT all men are created equal:
That they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights
That among these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit Of happiness:
That TO secure these rights Governments
are established among men, deriving their Just
powers from the consent of the governed
That whenever any form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends it is the right
Of the People to alter or TO abolish it, and to in
stitute new Government laying its founda-
ton on such principles and organizing its pow
ers in such form as to them shall seem most |
likely to effect their safety and happiness
We hold these Truths to be applicable at all |
times, to all men, Of whatever cline or complex |
ion and are therefore the uncompromising foe |
OF all forms of Slavery, personal. political |
spiritual whether ut home or abroad: and the |
advocate Of all laws and usages having ten |
dency to equalize the conditions of all men, to
secure to all equal opportunities for the enjoy
ment of liberty acquisition of property, and |
pursuit Of happiness.
These are the Principles that have controlled
and will continue to control us in conducting
the National Era, which is responsible for no
Party as no Party is responsible for it, owing
allegiance alone to God and Humanity.
The Literary Department of the Era speaks
for itself To the corps of contributors who
have heretofore enriched it, we shall add from
time to time as our means shall warrant.
Much attention will be devoted during the
ensuing Congress, to the preparation of con-
else, clear, and accurate reports of its proceed
ings and debates, with such explanations and
comments rs may be deemed necessary.
The terms of the paper are as follows

that he designed entering the city Of Guayaqui on

Ecuadorian force will not amount TO more thar
two or three hundred men capable of sustaining
any kind Of an attack, and that it was pretty well
conceded that, should Flores ask for equalization
before firing gun, it would be granted without
hesitation.
We have authority from private sources for soy

A vagrant named Joseph Elliott was yesterday
arrested in this city. having with him little boy
about seven years Of age, which he had stolen
from its mother, Mrs. johnson, about three weeks
since, taking it with him to Frederick, and from
thence to Washington and Georgetown, and back
to Baltimore, to assist him in his begging opera
tions by exciting the sympathy o. the people.
The distressed mother had followed in pursuit of
him the whole distance, and finally tracked him
back to Baltimore. The child had evidently
suffered greatly, in addition TO being clothed in
rags and filth-haviug been beaten and scourged
by the inhuman monster. The scene at the police
office, the meeting Of the child with its m other
was truly affecting. She could not restrain herself
from rushing franticaly at Elliott and infiicting
on him all the punishment that her limited
strength would admit of, the officers preventing
him from retaliating.
The death of Bishop Henshaw, of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. yesterday, at Frederick, Md,

The British mail steamship Lima, Captain Will
liams, reached this port on the morning Of the Sd
instant, bringing dates from Valparaiso to the 18th
June, and from Peru to the 2lst ult
From Chill, the leading item OF interest is the
President's message, contained in the Valparaiso
Reporter out of which we take the following items:
The late political changes that have taken place
in the Argentine republic have been productive of
favorable Influence in regard to our relations with
that country.
Neighb6ring States, connected by so many
ties, are destined to unite more closely the bonds
Of international intercourse.
A treaty between Chill and Peru 10 under con-
sideratio !, and may possibly be brought before
Congress during the present session.
Political events in the republic Of Ecuador, thus
far. enjoin strict neutrality on the part Of Chill.
A convention, expected to be entered into by
the Gillian Minister at Washington, would leave
the long pending claim Of the United States re-
specting the Macedonian to the arbitration Of a
friendly power. l.
Additional articles TO the treaty with France
could not as yet be arranged. A convention has
been initiated with Great Britain, for the purpose
of more efectually carrying out reciprocity
system" on shipping.
The President points out the necessity of re. es.
tablishing steam communication to the southern
provinces, and asks for authority to cell the debt
due to Chill by Peru for the purpose Of forwarding
the construction Of the railroad between Valparaiso
and Santiago; reports favoraby on immigration Of
Europeans 10 the province of Valdivia.
A penal settlement has been formed on the
Island OF Juan Fernandez.
Under the head Of "Ecclesias tcal Affairs and
Public Instruction." many interesting details arc
given as alec under those of Army and Navy
The number of troops is again reduced very near

OF 1851 still amounted to 81 ,427 279, being in
