Song of the Pilgrims.
By 7. C. UPHAA.

The breeze has swelled the whitening sail,
The blue waves curl beneath the gale,
And. bounding with the wave and wind,
We leave Old England's shores behind
Leave behind our native shore,
Homes, and 81 we loved before.
The deep may dash, the winds may blow,
The storm spread out its wings of woe,
Till sailors eyes can see shroud
Hung in the folds of every cloud;
Still, as long as life shall last,
From that shore we'll speed rs fast.
For We would rather never be,
Than dwell where mind cannot be free,
But bows beneath despotis rod,
Even where it seeks to worship God!
Blasts Of heaven onward sweep!
Bear US DER the troubled deep!
o, see what wonders meet our eyes.
Another land and other skies!
Columbian hills have met cur view,
Adieu, Old Engiand's shores, adieuI
Here, at length, our feet shall rest.
Hearts be free, and homes be blessed.
As long as yonder frs shall spread
Their green arms DER the mountains head;
AB long az yonder cliffs shall stand,
Where Join the ocean and the land
Shall those cliffs and mountains be
Proud retreats for liberty.
Nov to the King of kings we'll raise
The pecan loud Of sacred praise;
More loud than sounds the swelling breeze,
More loud than speak the rolling seas
Happier lands have met our view!
England's shores, adieui adieu!

Rules for Hard Times.

We copy the following excellent rules
from !" Life Illustrated :" s5 EfEf
Preserve your credit, at any sacrifice.
It will pay in the long run, dearly as it
may cost you now 49,. s..e ss-.
Yet be lenient to creditors. In hard
times there viii be honest men whose
promises to pay no sacrifices win enable
them to keep. Cherish, therefore, an
obliging, accommodating spirit.
Let not the strong be chary of their
help to the weak. 1t is the interest oi
the strong to keep the weak from falling,
because every faiiure is a new shock 70
public confidence, and makes the times
harder for everybody. s,,sa s-ss.- 5,
Next to preserving your credit, try and
keep men and women In employment
Do not dismissa sham" unless necessity
compels. Bear In mind that every one
WILL live that either as worker, or as
a pauPer, or as thief. every man MUST
be supported. ss4 1870
Economize--but economic Alright
Eat less sumptuous food, wear less costly
clothes, give fewer parties; but do not
starye the mind. Cheer your heart with

think, for one instant, that you can afford

special Message from the President.


Special Message from the President.
The following message from the Presi-
dent of the United States, with the ac-
companying letter from the. Secretary of
War, was sent to both houses of Con-
gress yesterday 49,
To tie Senate and House Of Representa-
tees: - Prs SD III
transmit herewith a letter from the
Secretary of War, upon the subject of
Indian hostilities. The employment of
volunteer troops, as suggested by the
Secretary, seems to afford the only prac-
ticable means of providing for the pres
ent emergency. There is much reason
to believe that other cases similar in char
acter to those particularly referred to in
the accompanying papers, will at an
early day require vigorous measures and
the exhibition of strong military force.
The proposed temporary provision to
meet special demand, SO far from obvi-
ating, in my judgment only serves to
illustrate the urgent necessity of an in
crease of the regular army, at least to the
extent recommended in my late annual
message. Unless, by the plan proposed,
or some other equally effective, force
can early be brought into the field ade-
quate to the suppression of existing hos
tilities, the combination of predatory
bands will be extended, and the difficulty
of restoring order and security greatly
magni6ed. On the other hand, without
a permanent military force of sufficient
strength to control the unfriendly In
dians, it may be expected that hostilities
will soon be renewed, and that years of
border warfare win aff1ict the country,
retarding the progress of settlement, ex-
posing emigrant trains to savage barbar-
tiles, and consuming millions of public
money.
The state of things made known in va
rious letters recently received at the
War Department, extracts from a portion
of which are herewith inelosed, is calcu-
lated to augmentthe deep solicitude which
this matter has for some time past awak-
ened, and which has been earnestly ex-
pressed in previous messages, and in the
annual reports of the Secretary of War.
l respectfully submit that the facts now
communicated urgently call for immedi-
ate action on the part of Congress.

sooner discharged.
Should the proposed increase of the
army be authorized during the present
session of Congress, it is hoped that the
two additional regiments of cavalry may
be organized, mounted, and put in posi-
ton to relieve the volunteers some time
during the summer or fal; and the two
regiments of infantry recruited and or
gsnized for service in the department ei
the Pacific, and on our extreme north
western frontier, where troops are greatly
needed. Very respectfully, your obe-
dent servant, fg s63
