THE ISSUE OF PEACE OR WAR WITH SPAIN.
The Unions article Of Saturday on this
subject, condensed sketch of which we
gave yesterday, Is sufficiently significant and
decided. The honor of our flag will be pro.
tected, and the right of search, if exercised
in sight of an American vessel of war,
will be exercised at the peril Of Spain
There Is very little danger that Spanish
ship, under such circumstances, will attempt
the exercise ofthat right.

A VETERAN GoNE.-Capt. Simeon Hicks,
the last of the Americans who were in the bat
tie of Bennington, died at the residence of his
grandson, Maynard Knight, in Sunderland, VT,
on Wednesday, the Oath inst, aged 90 years, S
months and days. He was born in Hobarth,
Ms, Aug. %, 1855, and was the eldest of %
children by his father, who was twice married.
Capt. Fl. served in the revolutionary army at
two or three different stages of the struggle
first under Washington, at Cambridge, and af.
forwards under Stark, in l777. He participa-
ted in all the struggles of the 10th of August,
at Bennington, (Hoosick) to the final and COM
plete discontinue of the British. During the
greater part of the day, he was in the front
ranks and in the hottest of the fight. At crit
ical moments Starks position was near his COM
pany. Many of his comrades were shot down,
among others his right hand man. He was
married in l778 to daughter of Capt Con-
slant Barney, of Concord, N. H., and after the
close of the war settled in Sunderland, w.
where for more than 60 years he maintained the
character of an industrious, honest and respect
able citizen. Capt. II. was remarkable man
physically; for 70 years he had no experience
of bodily ailment, and his death, from extreme
old age, was not attended with suffering or
pain. Vitality and consciousness gradually
left him, so that the moment of his final depar-
ture was hardly perceptible. His remains had
quiet burial among the Green Mountains.

An Old Book.

The oldest book 10 the United States, is said is
manuscript Bible, in the possession of Dr.. Wther.
spoon, Of Alabama, written over a thousand years
ago! He describes it as follows -" The book 10
strongly bound in boards Of the old English oak, and
with thongs, by which the leaves are also we'll bound
together. The leaves are entirely made Of parch-
ment. ola most superior quality, of fneness and
smoothness little inferior to the best SAITH. The
pages are all ruled with great accuracy, and written
with great uniformity and beauty, in the old German
text hand, and divided off into chapters and verses.
The FIRST chapter of every book in the Bible is
written with large capital Of nimitabe beauty, and
splendidIy illuminated with red, blue, and black ink,
still in vivid colors; and two Of the capital let
tiers in the book are precisely alike"

Personal Appearance of our Savior.

Jesus Christ is described by Lentulus, contempt.
rary. a tall, welLproportionsd man, straight in
stature, Of nearly six feet in height his hair was Of
the color of new wine from the roots to the ears and
from thence to the shoulders it curled and fell down
to the lowest part Of them; upon the crown of his
head it parted in two, after the manner of the Naza-
renes; his forehead fat and fair, his eyes were
gray, large and extremely lively; his nose and mouth
were we'll proportoned; his face was neither round
nor sharp, resembIed his mothers, and was adorned
with very graceful vermiion; his beard was thick
and forked, and of the color Of his hair, which he
wore long, the scissors having never been used upon
his head, nor had the hand Of any touched him,
except that Of his mother, when be was child; his
neck was not stiff, nor was his carriage proud; he
stopped little with his head; his hands were large
and spreading, and his arms were very beautiful;
there air Of serenity in his countenance which
attracted at the love and reverence of all behsd.
ers; in his reproofs he was terrible, but in his ex-
hortations amable and Courteous he was never seen
to laugh but often observed to weep gravity, pru.
dence, meekness and clemency, strongly depict
ed in his countenance, and he was considered the
handsomest man in existence.

The LONDON TIxEs.-As for the fierce On.
slaught upon Lord Raglan, common report ex-
plains it by saying that Mr.. Russell, the specia
correspondent Of the Times, received majors
ration, by order of Sir G. Trevylian - that
Lord Raglan, absurdly angry thereat, (having
q martinets usual horror Of the press,) wrote
to the Duke of Newcastle, to ask by whose au-
thority this was done-that, without waiting
for reply from London, his lordship stopped
the rations, and requested Mr.. Russell to leave
the camp-and that, thereon, "our special COR
respondent" mended his pen, added gall to his
ink, and incontinently did "walk into Lord
Raglan, who regrets by this time, I dare say,
that he meddled with the scribe.-London Cor

and for day or two got her usual reward -
but no egg being found on several occasions, it
was suspected that Mrs. Chuck was playing
false; and her usual feed being withheld, it

on the same day, she would repeat the dodge
of going and sitting for short time on her
nest, and then come forth chuckling as loud as
she could for her expected reward. - Poultry

The Ohio Editorial Convention.

AT the late Editorial Convention held at Zanes.
vile. Ohio, the following resolutions relative to Rail-
road courtesies adopted a. the sense of the ed
torial body.
That the Press had always labored to promote the
best interests Of State in doing which the weight
Of ts influence has in especial manner been thrown
the side Of railroad enterprises, not so much for
the personal benefit Of individual companies a. for
what have believed be for the general interests
Of the State.
That the courtesies which have bcen extended to
the Press by railroad companies we have never re-
garded a. especial favors to US, but as recognition
the part OF the corporations Of the support which
the Press has so literally given them.
That as the railroad corporations, by concert and
united action, having business operation deter
mined to withhold those coureses in the future we,
the editors Of Ohio from this time forth, will initiate
the example set US by the railroad corporations, and
do that which il is for our business interests to do
make with them our courtesies ga fair business
transaction," and recommend this course for the
adoption Of our breth' en- throughout the country.

Another Instance Of Legislative seoun-
0Felf0ns

Scarce has one of the many outrages
practiced by the last Legislature been
brought to light and exposed, than another
is developed still more Infamous than the
last. We are informed upon undoubted
authority that on the last day of the ses-
sion, the citizens of Hennepin county, hear
ing that designing men were at work to
get bill through the Legislature removing
their county seat, sent to NJ. c. BAKER,
ESQ.,, Assistant Secretary of the Council a
remonstrance signed by a large number Of
its citizens against the outrage. Mr.. BA-
KER placed these in his bureau drawer at
the American House; and on looking for
them before going to the night session Of
the Legislature found they had been stolen.
This fact he communicated to several
friends; and it was not until the bill remov-
ing the county seat of Hennepin county had
passed the House and had been brought to
the Council that it was fully known what
had become of the remonstrance On ex-
aiming the petition" that accompanied
the bill, however, it was discovered to con-
tain the identical names on the remonstrance
against the measure that had been pur-
Joined from Mr.. BAKER, and attached to a
"got up" petition in the hall of the House.
It is said by some who have seen the peti.
ton i'll question, that it is in the hand writ
ing Of a resident Of Minneapolis, near whose
property the bill proposed to move the
county seat We have conversed with a
large number of the persons whose names,
in their own hand writing, were stolen from
the remonstrance and placed upon the pc
tition; and as may be expected, they feel
justly indignant, and have resolved to bring
the whole matter before the Grand Jury of
Hennepin county, which convenes on the I'd
April, proximo. We trust the guilty party
may be identified, and that he may receive
that punishment his nefarious conduct
merits.

LOVED ONCE.


Earth. ,.nens:Si t. sound: .s1ds lie wsll.d.y.
The jarring yea and nay,
The fall of kisses unanswering clay,
The sobbed farewell the welcome mournfuller -
But all did leaven the air
With less bitter eaven Of sure despair,
Than these words-"l loved once !"
And who saith, 81 loved once ?"
Not angels, whose clear eyes, love, love, foreses
Love through eternity
Who by To Love, do apprehend To Be.
Not God, called Love, his noble crown name CASTING
A light too proud for blasting!
The Great God, changing not from everlasting,
Saith never, 81 loved once"
Nor ever the Loved once"
Dost thou say, Victim. Christ, misprized friend;
The cross and curse may rend;
But, having loved, thou lowest to the end
II il mans saying mans 4! Too weak to move
One sphered star above,
Man desecrates the eternal God-word, Love,
With his No More, and Once.
How say We, We loved once"
Hlasphemers! II your earth not cold snow,
Mourners, without that snow!
All, friends and would ye wrong each other 90
And could Y say ofsoms, whose lovsis Known
Whose tears have fallen for you, whose smiles have
shons,
Could We, "We loved her once"
Say calm of me, sweet friends, when out ofsight!
When hearts of better right
Stand In between me and your happy light
And when, ~ flowers kept too long in the shade,
Ye find my colors fade,
And all that IL not love in me, decay'd!
Such words-Ye loved me once!
Could ye, " We loved her once"
Gay cold Of me. when further put away
In earths sepulchral clay!
When mute the lips which deprecate to-day!-
Not so not then-least then when life 10 shriven,
And Deaths full Joy 10 given -
OF those who sit and love you up In Heaven
Say not, I" We loved them once"
Say never, ye loved once!
God 10 too near above, the grave below,
And all our moments 20
Too quickly past our souls, for saying SO
The mysteries Of Life and Death avenge
Affections light of range
There comes change to justify that change,
Whatever c0mes-L0ved once
And yet what word of " once"
| II humanity acceptive Kings have said,
Shaking discrowned head,

But love strikes one hour-Love. Those loved

Ny joys, my hopes, let Others share;
In grief I'd play the m,ser's part I;
Ny lips, my brow, should never bear
The index Of Q stricken heart.
Ifriches were consign'd to me,
No gripping hand would clutch the pelf;
For valueless the gold would be
Ifhoarded only for myself.
