1t is said that the regiment of roughs raised
by Billy Wilson, of New York, is composed of
the hardest of New York's humanity. A let
from New Yorker contains the following in
cident which is sufficiently illustrative of their
status:
Yesterday Methodist clergyman went
down to Staten Island to exhort them. Bill
Wilson drew his men up and called attention 7
The parson then gave them very edifyng and
appropriate discourse, to which in obedience
to the ColonePs commands, they listened atten-
lively When the parson had finished, Billy
gave his boys a short talk, somewhat in this
wise: Boys, want you to remember what
the minister has told you. 1t is all for your
good take his advice, and follow it; for there
is no knowing but what in less than six months
every d-d-of you will be in h-llF Here a
voice from the ranks called out, Three cheers

The parson astonishad and angry, asked what

INDIAN TRADITioN.-Among the Seminole
Indians there is a singular tradition regarding
the white mans origin and superiority. They
say that when the Great Spirit made the earth
he also made three men, all of whom were of
avery fair complexion, and that after making
them he led them to the margin of small
lake and bade them leap therein. One imme-
diately obeyed, and came out of the water
purer than before he bathed; the second did
not leap until the water became slightly Maud
dy, and when he bathed he came up copper
colored; the third did not leap in till the water
became black with mud, and he came up with
its own color. And then the Great Spirit
laid before them three packages of bark, and
bade them choose, and in pity for his misfor-
tune in color, he gave the black man his first
choice. He took hold of each Of the pack
ages, and having felt them, chose the heav-
lest; the copper colored man then chose the
ightest. When the packages were opened
the first was found to contain spades, hoes,
and all the implements of labor; the second
enwrapped hunting fishing and walking ap-
aratus; the third gave the white man pens,
ink and paper--the engines of the mnd-the
means of mental improyement---the social
links Of hHmanity-the foundations of the
white mans superiority.

nior Mr.. Guy Of the National Hotels at WASH
ington, bears quite likeness to Gen Cass,
and upon this the correspondent of the New
York Times tells the following story:
a stranger who supposed he knew mine
host very well, put up at the National the
other night, and for the first night was sent
to the upper floor to sleep. Coming down
stairs the next morning, a little cross, he
met Gen. Cass, who has a fine suite of rooms
there, in the hall; stepped up to him, and in
language more forcible and rapid, than ele-
CANT, said:
"Ill be id if stand 1T. You've put me
at the top of the house. Unjust have room
lower down."
General Cass interposing nervously-"Sir,
you are mistaken in the person you are ad-
dressing. l am Gen. Cass of Michigan"
Stranger, confusedly-"Beg your pardon
General Cass; thought it was nay old friend
Guy. Beg thousand pardons, sir. All a
mistake, all mistake, assure you, sir"
The General passed out of the house, but
soon returned; and as luck would have it, the
stranger met him fun in the face again, but
in q different position. This time he was
sure he had mine host, for the Senator from
Michigan he knew had just gone out. So
the stranger stepped boldly up, slapped the
General heartily and familiarly on the shoul-
der, and exclaimed:
"By heavens, Guy, I've got rich sell to
relate. l met old Cass up stairs just now;
thought it was yon,and began cursing him
about my ROOM"
General Cass, with empashis- young
man, you Ye metold Cass againt" Thestran-
ger sloped, and has not been heard of since.

LAY OF THE HENPECKED,


Oh, her hair is as dark as the midnight wave,
And her eye like the kindling fire,
And her voice is as sweet asthe spirits voice
That chords with the seraph's Tyre.
But her nails are as sharp as toasting fork,
And her arms are as strong as bears;
She pulled my hair, and she gouged my eye,
And she kicked me down the stairs.
She may shake her knuckles full in my face,
And put the lamp to mybeard,
And hold the hroomstick over my head
Tn not at all afeard.
For I've bound her over to keep the peace,
And I've bought me crabtree cane;
The sheriff will come and the constable, too,

And my eye month in the patch;

Singular Reasoning.

1t is amusing to see the shifts that some
of the Republican papers resort to, TO re-
lieve their party from the odium Of having
brought about dissolution of the Union
They cannot truthfully deny that the tri
umph of their principles has done the
mischief, but they say that because Demo,
Gratis predicted that they would dissolve the
Union when they got into power, therefore
the Democracy are the disunionists, and are
responsible for the secession movement
That is one way to fix the matter up. Per
haps they can make the people believe that
those who did their best to save the Union
and warned them not to believe the Repub-
licans, who told them "the South could not
be kicked out of the Union," are response
bic for the troubles. We suppose, upon the
same princi pie, if one man should caution
another against taking strychnine, and the
latter takes it Notwithstanding, the former
would be responsible for his death. Or if
Governor Downey should veto viainous
bill passed by the Legislature, and that body
was afterwards to pass it over his head, the
Governor would be responsible for it. Or
if the conservative people of the United
States beseech A. Lincoln not to plunge
the nation into civil war, and he does it,
they are, therefore, responsible for it.

for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister
States of the South. Gov. Jackson, of Mis-.
souri,, said the object Of the Presidents pro
clama,ion WAS inhuman and diabolicai, and
that his State would not furnish one man to
carry on the unholy crusade.
The banks in New York, Philadelphia
Boston, Baltimore, Chicago and other cities,
offer the Federal Government money.
The excitement at the North was increas-
ing hourly. Meetings were being held in
all the large towns, and men of all parties
were declaring to sustain the country.
At Washington an attack upon the city
was apprehended. All the public buildings,
avenues and roads which lead to the Capitol
are guarded, sentres are poste! everywhere,
and preparations are being made to defend
the city.
Major Anderson and command had arriv-
ed at New York. His men Indignantly de-
MED that he had been unfaithful.
The war spirit at the South was increasing.

Military companies were organizing in all
The seeded States. The Border States were
offering men and money to the Confederate
States. Gen. Pillow, of Tennessee, had offer

army at Pensacola, as soon as the Govern.
"ent at Montgomery declared war.
