TATTNALIS NOBLE ANSWER.
We find in Northern journal tho subioined
lines from the pen of the Rev. s. q. Bulfncb,
formerly of Washington:
Hear what the gallant Tsttnsll said
At the mouth Of the Chinese river,
When, through Asian balls and English dead,
He pressed on to deliver;
His starry flag. TO each English heart,
Flashed hope through that darkening slaughter,
And his words-as he played his manly part
We're, blood is thicker than water"
Land of our sires, the strife is Ger
That armed u against each other;
We give thee the homage Of sons no moro,
But the love of II free born brother.
We bid thee hail! as the noblest State
That bends to monarchs orders;
Prosperity dwell in thy palace gates
And peace be within thy borders!
Hear II. proud realm of the gray old past,
From our young land Of the present;
Let the words ring forth like 8 trumpet blast,
Our greeting to prince and peasant.
And if wrathfui thoughts again are stirred,
Ere We rush 10 iraternal slaughter,
Let the madness cease, at the homcly word,
That blood is thicker than water.

Convention in Tucson.

Pursuant to public notice, the citizens of Tue son and vicinity met in convention on the 3d of July 1859. for the purpose of nominating del egate to represent the interests of the Territory in the next Congress, and of hearing our late delegate, as to the reasons why Congress had neglected and refused to give us territorial organization.
 The meeting was called to order by G. w. Oury, Esq, and upon motion, Col John Walker was unanimously elected President, and J. How ard Wells was chosen Secretary
 The President upon taking the chair, re- turned his thanks for the honor conferred upon him, and explained the objects of the meeting in few appropriate remarks and introduced to the convention our late delegate, the Hon Sylvester Mowry, who made a brief address.
 Upon motion of Col Palatine Robinson, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the convention, who reported the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted by the convention:
 Whereas, Convention of the People of the eastern portion of Arizona duly organized, have nominated a delegate to Congress, and appon- ted the lst day of September next as the day of election: and whereas, the said convention have adopted resolutions expressive of the sense of the people of that section of the territory Therefore
 Be it resolved by the people of Tucson and vicinity-lst That we cordially join with our citizens of the Rio Grande in their movement to obtain a territorial organization for Arizona, and the protection of the laws of the U. States, of which we have so long been deprived.
 2d That we endorse with entire unanimity the course of our delegate to Congress, the Hon. Sylvester Mowry and having full confidence in his energy and ability and his knowledge of the territory and its necessities we cordially ratify his nomination as delegate to Congress from Arizona, and will give him our united support
 3l Resolved, That we will take no part in the territorial election for New Mexico
 4th. Resolved That the course of the "Ari- zonian in opposing the organization by the Congress of the United States of the territory of Arizona, is in direct opposition to the opin. ions and wishes of this community and richly deserves the generations of all persons desiring the good and welfare oftie country; that it is totally inconsistent with its previous course, and solely dictated by the failure of it's proprietors to make the people of the territory subServient to their wishes.
 5th Resolved That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Secretary and Presi- dent of the meetiag, and published in the San Francisco Herald, the New York Herald, the St. Louis Republican, the Arizonian, and Con stitution
 Upon motion, the thanks of the convention were returned to Col John Walker for the able manner with which he had presided over the deliberations.
 Upon motion, the convention adjourned sine die. JOHN WALKER, President

MOVEMENTS OF THE FRENCH MY.--The Mo- niteur, a leading French journal, of lst of June, says:
 A dispatch from the French Emperor received at the Tueleries, announced that at five o'clock in the morning the whole French army, one hundred and forty thousand men, headed by the Emperor as commanderin chief in the center, Baragay D Hillers on the right wing, and Mac mahon on the left was to make most deter. mined effort to cross the Pc near Placenza.- The day was passed in the greatest and most natural anxiety at the different Ministeries, and anxiety reflected on the Bourse in spite of the determined efforts to keep the suspense pro- found secret and affecting the funds without any apparent reason, excepting to the initiated At ter o'clock at night another dispatch arrived, containing few words not indicative of success, viz: "The cannon are still roaring, and nothing yet is done The enemy has appeared in such tremendous force on the opposite bank that ev- cry effort hitherto made to construct our brid. ges has been useless"

LoUIs NAPOLEON AND THE PREss-It has been announced in Paris that not a single newspaper correspondent will be permitted to enter the allied camps By exception, M Elm ile Augier, member of the French Academy, has obtained the permission to join the person mel of the Prince Napoleon, but not by any means in the capacity of journalist A letter from Paris says:
 "The Emperor will take with him, to be placed under the charge of Marshal Valiant, a printing service from the government office, which will furnish the bulletins it is deemed proper to give to the public. It the manner in which news has been served up to the present time is to be taken as a criterion for the future, the Austrians will know but little by way ot Paris or London of what is going on in tho French and Sardinian camps. $.

A DESTRUCTIVE AND EFFECTIVE WEAPoN.- The telegraph briefly announces that Captain Dahlgreen (of the Ordnance Department of the Navy, and inventor of the celebrated gun bear ing his name,) has reported in favor of adopting the Joslyn breech-lsading gun into the naval service. The following is an extract from Capt Dahlgreen's report:
 ORDNANCE OFFICE OF U s. NAVY YARD,
 Washington, June l; 1859 Capt Ingraham, Chief of Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography
 SIR: Conformably to your order have ex. amined and tested the breech-oading arm of Mr. B. F. Joslyn, as follows:
 May 30-Begun at III clock, and by 3, P. M fired ASA rounds continuously, and stopping when the gun became excessively hot; Carbine easy on the shoulder; service caps; firing stea- diy. At 3l3 rounds, fired 50 rounds in l2 minutes. At 472 rounds, fired rounds in mnute-then rounds with loose powder and bals making total of ASA rounds. The car bne was then put into the office, without remo- wing any of the foulness from firing. The re- cess of the stock which receives the closing le- ver was very foul with residium, but without the least influence on the movement Jr escape externally The mechanism worked smoothly throughout The next day-the 3lst--the piece, all soiled and uncleaned from the previous days firing, was fired l6 rounds, chiefly with loose powder and ball-making 500 rounds in all The small rings of the breech.plugs and the rest of tho parts in perfect order.
 This style of gun, therefore, commends itself to the tests of the service. The only objection is the shortness of barrel.

JEFFERSON AND CUBA.-Said Thomas Jefer. son: II candidy confess, ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States The control which with the Florida point this island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico, and the isthmuses bordering on it, as we'll as those whose waters flow into it, would fill up the measure ofour political being"
 We commend the above plank of the great Presidents platform to the favorable notice of that party which boasts of Jefferson as its mo. del and original-the party whose mission !" is return to the government of our forefath. CTS "--the party which claims the sage of Mon- tecello and the hero of the Hermitage as its po- litical ancestry To be consistent with ta1ir assumptions, we expect to see the above can did confession endorsed by the next State convention of the Republican party of Illinois. It can do nothing less to convey to the people an earnest of it's professed admiration and adop. ton of true "JetfersoDian doctrine" lift can stride across the abyss which separates the De- mocracy of Jefferson from the RepublicAnism of day, we may well have hope for the rich man in hell, who beheld Lazarus afar off across the great gulf, in the bosom of the patriarch Abra- ham, Quincy Herald

TIE RIFLED CANNoN.-The new ri6ed French cannon made their debut in smart encounter at Valenza, where an Austrian corps, keeping out of artillery range, as they thought were ut terly confouuded by volley sent bang into the midst of them, from a distance of seven thousand metres, dismounting their guns, and causing immense destruction of men.

CAMELs ON AN ALABAMA pLANTArIoN.-The Selma (Alabama) Sentinel of the 21th ultimo says; '" The camels purchased by MT. Woolsey, from Capt Mychado last week, seem to answer many useful purposes. The other day one of the animals with rider, brought twelve bushels of shelled corn to town to mill So one camel. in milling alone, will answer the purposes of a wagon and two mules, and will travel over the ground four times as quick as the mules. We understand that they have been tried in the plough, and answer the purpose admirably be. ing docie, and easily managed"
