VII Il,

Sons of the brave! the time has come
To bow the naughty crest,
stand alone, despite the threats
Of North, or East, or Westl
The hour has come for manly deeds,
And not for pulling words.
The hoar has passed for platform prate-
1t is the time for swords
And by the fame of John Calhoun,
To honest truth be true,
And by old Jaoksons iron will,
Now do what ye can do!
By all ye love and all ye hope,
BE resolnte and proud,
And make your flag symbol high,
OF triumph-or u shroud

Men of the South Look up-behoId
The deep and sullen gloom
Which darkens Ger your sunny land
With thunder in its womb!
Are ye SO blind ye cannot see
The omens in the sky2
Are ye so deaf ye cannot hear
The tramp OF foemen nigh?
Are ye so dnil ye will endure
The whips and se0rus of men
Who hide the heart of Titus Oates
Beneath the words Of Penn
Are ye so base that foot to foot @
Ye will not gladly stand
For land and life, for child and wife,
With naked steel in hand?

A preacher to the pulpit comes,
And calls upon the crowd,
For Southern creeds and Southern hopes,
To weave bloody shroud
Beside the prayer-book on his desk
The bullet mould is seen,
And near the Bibles golden clasp
The dagger's steely sheen;
The simple tale of Bethlehem
No more is fondly told, ..-......

Too heavily with gold; =+. -.5zs.

They bind our hearts no more;
Down with the stately edifice
Cemented by their gore!
Forget the legends of our race

Out on the mere Caucasian blood

Must triumph over all ~

Within those halls to-day,
Which echoed erst the thunderburst

Mons. Blondin, the celebrated tight rope
performer, met with a serious accident night
before last during his exhibition at Chill
cothe. After dusk he gave performance of
trundhng wheelbarrow across a rope. and
to make the feat more terrific, he encircled
himself in blaze of fireworks, which were
Ignited simultaneously with his starting
Before be had accomplished half his task, one
of the pieces prematurely exploded, and set
FIRE to his clothing. The peril of his situa-
ton could not be seen by the thousands of
spectators below, in consequence of the con-
tinued emission of sparks, aud the adventur-
Gus Blondin had nothing to do but to walk
the rope and suffer the torture of being slow
ly roasted. Having accomplished the dis
tance, be- by his own efforts, succeeded IN ex-
tinguishing the flames, but not before his
back was very badly burned ra
The rope was stretched across a street. at a
distance of seVenty-fve feet from the ground.
and none save Blondin could have withstood
the pain that he must have suffered. We are
inclined to the opinion that the Mons. win
not attempt any. more tight rope perform
ances with pyrotechnic concomftants. Tt is
very well to hazard the surging waters of
Niagara, in hand baskets, coffee sacks, &C.,
but shrOuded in a sheet of flame, with
chance of burning to death, added to that Of
falling, smacks little too much of the dan
gerous to be much relished even by the in
trepid Blondin.-Cfn. Gazette.

nfors About The nIeteor..

The grest meteor Of July 2oth, seems to
have been but one of many lodging around
in the atmosphere about these days, though
according to the calculations of Prof. Bartlett
Of the West Point Military Academy, the
blazing July visitor passed out Of the earth's
atmosphere to pursue a modified path around
the sun, and to return again, perhaps, at some
future day. He thinks its hight could not
have been less than from sixty to seventy
miles above US; that its velocity, in reference
to the earth's centre, was at least seventeen
miles second, and its diameter at least half a
mile. -...
The evening of the I'd Of August. the great
Southern Meteor swept over the country with
a briIlianoe quite equal to the the Northern.
It was seen at various points from Charleston
to Illinois, passing from the Southeast to the
Northwest, and at nearly the same moment
at places thousand miles apart. At some
points a Kissing sound was heard, and at 9th
ers explosions like cannon, and so heavy as
to shake the earth. In Mississippi and Ten
nessee the meteor appeared to throw off stars
Of FIRE, which falling behind, created glow
ing train OF light, from ten to twelve degrees
in extent. The light was intensely brilliant,
paling the moon then at its full.
Several Meteors wereseen the EVENING" OF the
9th of Aug. One from New York city appeared
large as a cannon ball, passed rapidly from
south to north, at an elevation of about 2O0;
at Evansburgh, Pa, a meteor was seen which
threw out brilliant scinhllations, and left a
train of light; at Perth Amboy, n. J. me-
teor appeared in the West which emitted a
long and distinct train; al Mansfield, Tioga
county, Pa, a meteor appeared in the South
ern horizon, of great brilliancy, which at one
time appeared todivide and unite again; and
at Monticello, n. Y, meteor was seen which
seemed 70 consist of a bali four or FIVE inches
in diameter, closely followed and connected BY
a similar ball of smaller size. At Selwiclry
near Pittsburgh, meteor of such briIliancy
as to be distinctly visible in daylight, was
seen on the 7th, and also at Greeusburg, Pa.
MeteOrs are not the only phenomena Of the
sly in August, as appears by the following
paragraph:
FIVE HUNDRED AND SHTY-FTyE SHOOTING
STARS N ONE NIGHT-The New Haven
Palladium Of yesterday contains the following
communication tt".
Observations made here last night show
that the annual meteorie display of August
has not failed this year. Between 10 P M.
(9th) and A. n. lOth) foe hundred ana
si1ty.fUs shooting stars were seen -by CORPS of
observers stationed on the top Of bipb
building in this city Most Of the meteors
moved in paths which, if traced back, would
intersect in the constellation Perseus. Many
Of them were more brilliant than stars Of the
first magnitude, and left sparkling trains
After IL o'clock the light Of the moon in
terfered with the observations, and doubtless
rendered invisible many ofthe smaller me-
teors.

didate about 5000 votes, and Is probably
elected. For Congress all the Districts are
Democratic but two. Blair, Republican, is
elected In the ss, Louis, and Rollins, Union,
beats Henderson, Douglas in the second Dis
triet. The Democrats elected to Congress-
arc Reid Clarke, Norton, Phelps and NOEL.
The Democratic State ticket was nominat-
ed before the Baltimore Conventions were
held, aud VIXEN Senator Green returned TO
Missouri from Washipgsss be took the stump
for the Douglas candidate sar Governor and
warmly advocated his election and at the
same time denounced Donglas in every speech.
His crooked course Is attributed To trade
with jackson for aid, in getting back to the
Senate. The Douglas men, says the Missouri
Democrat supported the whole State ticket
headed by Jackson, although there were sew
eral avowed Breckenridge men on it, and
these two circumstances, unquestionably have
had a marked effect on the Breckenridge re-
volt which has by no means attained its full
dimensions yet" The Democrat adds:
We presume, no doubt, is now entertained
IN any quarter that neither Breckenridge nor
Douglas can carry Missouri in November, un-
ess, which is very improbable, the Brecken-
ridge section Of the Democracy throw down

died, and they then left to seek home in the

Mrs. DousIas in New RnfIand.

Mrs. Douglas did not accompany her hus-
band from Providence to Newport but came
on in the regular boat few hours after. A
Newport correspondent Of the Boston Journal
makes the following note Of the dress, ap-
pearance and conversation Of Mrs. D.;
Mrs. Douglas was dressed in the Die YER
non style-a jaunty school straw hat shaped
like an inverted milk pan, with a small veil
hanging on the edge, gave her a youthful and
school girl appearRnce-Yith dark meFino
habit half fitting and half loose, a cross be-
tween the riding habit and loose morning
gown-and her whole appearance was that
Of a young Miss who had thrown her books
aside for August, and had taken a run with
her mother to spend a month at Newport,
rather than the heir expectant lady Of
the White House. All the way from Provi-
dence to Newport she entertained her friends
withthe incidents Of her Journey since she
left Washington, some Of which were COM
ical enough. How at Concord men and wo-
men were found peeking through the blind,
when she supposed herself all alone. How
some ardent young men insigted on seeing
Mr.. Douglas wife, and got hold of fat old
motherly lady by mistake, and made her such
complimentary addresses. How she was told
that If Mr.. Douglas carried Rhode Island she
must love clans, and how hard she tried to
say they were good, and found them go de-
testable-and other matters How she would
run up to the upper story, and hear the ad-
dresses and look on the crowd that her hus-
Danu was addressing, and listen at the same
tiine % speeches made about herself, not in
Ienaed ior her own ears-all related with in
mite relish and good hunor, and with almost
childish glee
