Coffee: the fist skaters The nerves, and the

to the confessions of their advocates, more or

new. Gen. Scott says thai strong coffee de-
stroyed more of his men in Mexico than fell

WORTHY OF A PRINcE.-The southern edi-

noble and heroic sentiments occur. The letter
was written in reply to an inquiry of his cores
pondents, whether the rumor that he had of.
fered one million dollars to the government,
was true. He says :-"All that have of po
sition and wealth owe to the free institutions
of the United States, under which, in common
with all others north and south, protection to
life, liberty, and property, have been enjoyed
in the fullest manner. The government to
which these blessing are due calls upon her
citizens to protect the capital of the Union
from threatened assault; and although the Of

In DEATH THEY WERE NOT DIvIDED."-
The decease OF Mr.. and Mrs. Sylvanus Bar.
rows, OF this village, is recorded in our obitu-
AIRY list. The circumstances attending their
death were somewhat peculiar. Mr. Barrows
had been i'll for considerable time, and as he
drew near 10 his end, his wife remarked, as
she lay upon sick bed beside him. that she
"would be lonely after he was gone" "Oh,
shall take you Wih me, said the beloved hus.
band. And thus it proved. The aged couple
died the same day, the 18th inst. their fu-
neras were solemnized as one and the bodies
of each were committed to the grave at the
same time, to await the resurrection morning.
There is something indescribably affecting
and beautiful in a scene like this. The ven
cradle husband and vie had lived together, in
peace and harmony, for many years. In their
feelings, sentiments and sympathes they had
become as one. After having passed through
life, enjoying together its pleasures, and shar-
ing together its tolls and affection, they both
go hence together to the Better Land" How
appropriate to such a scene are the lines OF
Byron

Captain Pratt of the Light Infantry =
In CAMP ON FEDERAL HILL,
baltimore, May 10, 1861.
We left the Relay House camp day before
yesterday, at an hours notice, for this city,
without baggage, tents, Or anything But our
overcoats and blankets. A portion of the
Eighth of New York and section Of the Light
Artillery OF Boston came with us. We came
prepared for any reception Baltimore might
see fit to accord to us, and with the determine
ton, if attacked, to give them fight to their
hearts content. We were stronger and better
disciplined than when before we stood in these
streets, and we also knew that the guns Of
Fort McHenry, ready shotted and aimed,
would responsive TO the CALI open upon the
city
But to our pleasure we soon became salts
fled that no obstacles would be interposed TO
our progress. We were received with cheers,
where before we were welcomed with shot
city was one triumphal march and if men
ever marched with proud and defiant step,
you may rest assured the sixth did that night,
and as We swept through the streets, taking
precisely the room wanted, | honestly be.
lieve nine tenths of our men actually ached for
a fight. But secession is dead here, and is
fast being buried. We came direct to
this position, Federal HILL raised the stars
and stripes, saluied it with nine hearty cheers,
and thus took possession of Baltimore Our
entrance into Baltimore will long live in our
memories.
Since our arrival we have been busy clean.

This brilliant exploit will keep his memory
green for sometime yet. II is not becoming,
however, that so great genius should remain
in personal obscurity, while squads OF military
upstairs are preparing 10 gather the laurels Of
the conflict. Something of reward belongs to
the civilians who made the rebellion possible
as well as to the fighting cocks who are just
beginning to display their spurs and crests.
But Floyds part in the play is not quite end
ed. If the mountains and rocks do not fall on
him, he will be conspicuous in the closing act,
on stage which nature and the habits of his
life have fortunately fitted him to adorn. The
epitaph which will be cheerfully accorded to
him, after his brief suspense, will be an en-
blem of the last platform on which he appear
ed, and from which he dropped, inscribed
"THUs ALWAYS TO TRAIToRs."

FLOYD.

Some anxiety has been expressed concern
ing the safety of this precious scoundrel.
The events transporting in Virginia are SO well
adapted to the display of his various and Shin
ing talent, that it is difficult to explain his sad
den eclipse. But whatever his fate may be
his works continue TO praise him. The Rich
fame, parades the fact that under a single
order of the late secretary of war, during the
last year, one hundred and fifteen thousand
improved muskets and rifles were transferred
from the Springfield Armory, and Watervliet
Arsenal, to different stations at the south.
The precise destination that was reached by
all this plumber, is added on official authority
as follows
