o. ". Holmes has written for the num-
her magnificent - Army Hymn, - to
the tune of "Old Hundred, which can
be sung by the troops. James Russell
Lowell has prepared most scathing ar
ticlc on the jeff. Davis rebellion, show
ing the patriotic soldier what he is fight
ing against in this encounter between
civilization and barbarism. I. Went
worth Higginson has contributed a gra-
I phic account Of the Charleston Iusurrec-
ton ia 1872. L. II, Derby has written
a very complete paper on American Nav

1t appears that the rebels have for
some timc been occupied in putting up
offensive works at SewaIps Point, oppo.
site Fortress Monroe. Accounts vary
somewhat as to the manner and the de-
tails Of the attacl, upon the works, but
the most Trustworthy statement runs
thus: On Saturday afternoon the steam
er Star discovered battery at Sewall's
Point, mouutlug two guns. The Star
opened fire aud soon sIcncod one gun
| Shortly after, the Thomas Fracl0rn,
Capt. Cash, came on the grouad, and be
Ing Of lighter daught, at once upset the
rcmaiuing gun. The same vessel, seeing
a Ea4t Of Secessions;s standing together
near the djsmountcl battery, throg a
shot into the group, the members of
which scattered speedily. The engage
mcnt occupied three hours aud more, at
toe cDl # which time the offensive work
was thoroughly demolished.
The news from California is Of the
most cheering character On the Sth of
May, the commandment Of actual hos
tiIiues by the South was the all engross-
ing topic throughout the state, and we
are informed by Pony Express that the
sentiment in San Francisco is almost
universal to sustain and encourage the
administration in its present policy -
furthermore '" Union meetings continue
to be held in all parts Of the State, and
the complete loyaity Of CaLJornia seems

The Golden State thus nobly fulhls the
expectations we have entertained Stu
ated apart from the clamor and haste OF
til conflict now threatening the Union,
her citizens enjoy a clear, telescope
knowledge Of the inestimablo blessings
radiating from TIE federal compact
They remember at what cost that com
pact was formed, and maintained
through what historic trials it has reach
ed its modern grandeur; and the founda-
tions Of their own progress are built up
on intellect and enterprise drawn from
every quarter Of the Atlantic and CEN
tral regions. They will, therefore, have
no part in Che wild madness that would
disscver the ancient bond; but by their
loyal action are binding closer tie than
! ever between themselves and their pat
riotic brethren of the elder States.-7he
! World.
The Tallahassee SeatinI has just
learned how Mr.. Lincoln lives. 1t says:
Mr.. Lincoln keeps five men in bis room
to guard him by night, and Mrs Lincoln
two to guard her Old Abe, in order to
keep lis spirits and courage up, "pours
the spirits down." and is half drunk all
the time For fear of being poisoned,
Mrs. Lincoln has turned cook, and pre-
pares all the food they eat Some minis
ters Of the Gospel recently called to see
him to entreat him to desist from his
mad policy Of coercion, when the indig-
naut Abe cursed them away, sv caring
that the Southerners should wade knee
deep in blood before entering Washing
ton city.
The New Orleans Picnyune now
goes so far as to say that the North has
driven the South out of the Union. If
that be so, OF course it can drive it
back. It's poor rule don't work both
ways.
