THE INTELLIGENCER.


The Marscillaisc was inspired by genius, pa.
triotsm, youth, beauty and champagne. 10.
guet de Lise, was an officer Of the Garrison
Strasburg, and Native Of Mount Jura. He was
an unknown poet and composer. He had
peasant friend, named Dietrich, whose wife and
daughters were the critics and admirers Of the
soldiers poets song. One night he was at sup.
per with his friends family, and they had only
coarse bread and slices Of ham. Dietrick, look.
Ing sorrowfuIly at Dc Lisle, said "Plenty is not
our feast; have still one more bottle left in the
cclar-biing it, my daughter and let US drink
to liberty and our country"
The young girl brought the bottle; it was
soon exhausted, and De Lisle went staggering
to bed; he could not sleep for the cold but his
heart was warm and full Of the beating ofgenius
and patriotism. lie took small Clavicord and
tried to compose song; sometimes the words
composed iirSt-SomCti'ncs the mir. Directly
he fell asleep over the instrument, aud Mt day
light, wrote down what he had conceived in the
deIirium Of the night Then he walked the
family, and sang his production; at first, the
women turned pale, then they wept, then burst
forth into a cry Of enthusiasm. twas the song
Of the nation and Of terror.
Two months afterwards, Dictrick went to the
scalTold, listening to the selfsame music, cou'
posed under his own roof and by the inspiration
Of his last bottle Of wine. The people sang it
everywhere; it few from city to city, to every
public orchestra. Marseilles adopted the song
at the opening and closing Of its clubS--hCncc
the name, "IIymn of the MarsciniSc;' then it
sped all over France. They sung it in their
houses, in public assemblies, and in the stormy
street convocation, Dc Lisle's mother hCatd it
aud said to her son, "What is the revolutionary
hymn, sung by the bands Of ofbrigandS, and with
which yonr name is manglcd?" De Lisle heard
it and sluddercd rs it sounded through the
streets Of Paris, rung from the Alpine passes,
while he, royalist, fed from the infuriRtcd
people frcncicd by his own words. France was
a great amphithcatre of fanarchy and blood, and
Dc IiSIe's song was the battle cry.
There is no national air that will compare
with the MarsciIlaisc in subIimity and power; it
embraces the soft cadcnccs full Of tho peasants
home, and the stormy clangor Of silver aud
steel when mn empire is overthrow; it endears
the memory Of the vino dreSSer's cottage, and
makes the Frenchnnn, in his exile, cry LA
Belle France! forgctful Of the torch, and sword,
and guiIotinc, which have made his country u
spectre Of blood in the eyes Of nations. Nor
can tho foreigner listen to it, sung by u company
of exiles, or executed By band Of musicians,
without feeling that it is the pibroch Of battle
and war

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 9. Is

We see it stated that Mr.. Gilmer, know.nothing
member of Congress from North Carolina, is crcu-
lating speeches of L. d. Campbell, "a black repub
can member from Ohio) in this State. We hope
this is not so-cer:ainly John A. Gilmer has not so
far forgot himself to lend his aid distributing
the speeches of black republicans. The statement
has not been contradicted, as have seen, and we
fear it is too true. If any knows it to be fact
from personal knowledge we hope they will inform
US We feel almost certain that many of Mr.. Gil
mer's political friends would disapprove and con-
denim such conduct Western Democrat.
There can be no doubt, we presume. that Mr.. Gil
mer has been sending black Republican speeches
among his constituents. We have it from q friend
in Montgomery and from friend in Chatham. The
latter, under date May "a, says: "Mr. Gilmer has
flooded this county with abolition speeches, having
sent but one pro.savery speech here this session"
We learn that Mr.. G. has now and then sent dis
union speech by some Southern man, but he has
franked no conservative administration speech, SC
far as We know.

your speech which l considered susceptible Of an
offensive construction.
am precluded from considering the first para

your regret that persisted in asserting that which
you considered refuted by others. This regard as

used Therefore, your note is not satisfactory and
