Marked Men of the House.
The Washington correspondence .

The Washington correspondence of
the Ohio Statesman writes .bis
The marked men of the House are
soon recognized. John Quincy Adams
son is there. He sits quietly on back
seat near the middle door, bald headed
rather austere in look, but not quite SO
grabbed in demeanor as was his father.
He is said to be a fine debater, but as
vet has taken no part. AS an offset to
him and not unlike him-is Houston of
Alabama,-as he comes in, jolly enough
singing almost audibly to the galleries,
the song "Few days, few days." with
special reference to the coming and
continuing contest for Speaker. Then
are pointed ont the black headed, black
bearded, black ck-Republicanized Grow
of Pennsylvania then John Sherman,
with pale face, close firmly compressed
lips and anxious bearing; then Keitt
tearing around as usual, clever to all
and Keitt at all times, sobered some by
marriage. but evidently Keitt still then
old Thaddeus Stevens. with his unfor-
tunate lame or game foot, whig and
severe front, as if ready to ''cuss" Lo-
cofocos with whereas; then Corwin,
as mild and bland in his amiable de-
meanor, as if he had not forty orator
and hundred clown power in that swart
visage and on that ready tongue.

From the Independent
Brown of OssawattOmie.

John Brown of Ossawattomie
Spake on his dying day;
81 will not have to shrive my soul
A priest in slavery's pay.
But let some poor slave mother,
Whom have striven to free,
With her children from the gallows- stair
Put up prayer for me"
John Brown of Ossawatomie,
They led him out to die;
And 10 Ia poor slave mother
With her little child prest nigh.
Then the bold blue eye grew tender,
And the old harsh face grew mild,
And he stopped between the jearing ranks,
And kissed the negro's child!
The shadows of his stormy life
That moment fell apart;
Without the rash and bloody hand,
Within the loving heart
That kiss from all its guilty means
Redeemed the good intent,
And round the grisly fighters hair
The martyrs aureole bent!
Perish with him the folly
That seeks through evil good,
Long live the generous purpose
Unstained with human bloodI
Not the raid of midnight terror,
But the thought which underlies;
Not the outlaws pride of daring
But the Cristian's sacrlficeN
Oh? never may you blue-ridged hills
The Northern rifle hear,
Nor see the light of blazing homes
Flash on the negro's spear.
But let the free winged angel Truth
Their guarded passes scale,
To teach that right is more than might
And justice more than mail.
So vainly shall Virginia set
Her battle in array;
In vain her trampling squadrons knead
The winter snow with clay.
She may strike the pouncing eagle,
But she dares not harm the dove;
And every gate she bars to Hate
Shall open wide to Love. J. G. W.

The Pirate Yacht Wanderer in BostOn...
Adventure of an Incarnate DeviI.-.
Cruise of the Wanderer from the United
States TO Madeira and Back.
The famous yacht Wanderer made
her appearance at this port on Sunday,
in most unexpected and altogether
unparalleled manner. She left Savan-
nah on the 4th of October last, in def
ance, as has always been represented,
of the revenue authorities of that port,
for the purpose of making voyage to
Africa on slave trading expedition.
In going down the river, two cannon
on board were loaded with grape and
canister, and all the pistols and mus
kets were heavily loaded with balls !;
and the captain swore that every man
who did not assist in defending the
vessel in case she should be overhauled
by the revenue cutter, should be shot
through the head. After getting well
out to sea, the captain called the men aft
and told them that instead of going to
Matanzas, and Nassau, N. P. and back
to Savannah-where they had shipped
he was going direct to the coast of
Africa after a cargo of slaves, and
threatened the life of each man if he
did not carry out his orders to the let
ter. But history of the voyage is
best told by one who is well posted in
the affair, Mr.. Henry Welton, of Brit
ish North America, in whose charge
the yacht has been brought home. He
says.
On the Goth of October, at 9 P. NJ,
Lincoln Patten, under the assumed
name of David Martin, first having
succeeded in getting on board the
schooner about fifteen men to assist
him in getting stores and provisions,
came himself, accompanied by Edward
Talbot and Captain T. Black, shipping
agent for the vessel, and drawing re-
volver, swore he would shoot the first
man who refused his assistance, or Of
fered resistance in getting the vessel
to sea. He loaded both cannon with
grape shot, armed his crew, and made
every preparation to resist the United
States revenue cutter, if she interfered
in his progress down the river.
He compelled Edward Talbot to pi-
lot her down, in doing which she twice
run ashore and remained immovable
five hours. Having supplied the crew
copiously with liquor, he made sail and
proceeded to sea, carrying most of the
men away contrary to their wishes
Mr.. Talbot and Capt. Black he sent
back.
The voyage purported to be for Mat
anzas and Nassau, N. P. P.,.for fruit, and

Right from the jaws of Death
Rushed the mad section-ists-
Wretched dissectionists,
All out of breath.
Letting the fee go, down to the depot,
Rushed they-three hundred!
Medical sawbones all
Needless of jawbones all
Thinking of rawbones all
Course the North" was their cry
Theirs not to reason why,
But like youg colts to SHE,
Lest the grim ghost of Brown
Tumble the Union down!
Funny three hundred!
Duns to the right of them
Urging the fight of them!
Landlords to the left of them
Laundresses 'reft of them!
Debit-ties sundered!
Warrants pursuing them,
Sherifs undoing them
Thus rushed the secessionists,
Rabid processionists,
Funny three hundred.
Grinned the Professors phiz;
Pupils sole loss it is:
Paid was the entrance fee,
No more their gold they'd see,
Would the three hundred.
Disunion in College,
Confusion of knowledge,
Misusion of porridge
Was we'll for forage,
Had fathers not wondered
Flashed the parental damns
Senatorial kilograms
(Hintiug the youthful shams)
From Washington Thundered!
Yet since Ossawatomie
Northern Phlebotomy
Lures like 'jack-o' -ights,'
Over the border hogs!
So the pill Jacobites
Physiced the Quaker dogs
Doses-three hundred
Why have we wondered
That thus they blundered?
Three hundred burning
For Southern learning,
Thinking that black-letter
Was better, far better,

Which Northern Professors teach,
So the train thunderedl
North keeps the rich fund
They go to Richmond
