disco yered that the wood was on fire. Being
very dry, the pile burnt like tinder. The
boat was at once run ashore, in order to keep
the burning pile to leeward. A good stream
of water was got on, and some of the wood
was thrown overheard. The damage was
trihing, and nobody hurt. She arrived here

Treason in the Now York Tribune.

The Republican papers delight in showing
the fact that some who supported Douglas
have become traitors. By way of returning
the compliment, we have hitherto stated that
there was strong element in the Republican
party last winter favorable to the recognition
Of the independence of the Davis Govern
ment. The New York Tribune openly de-
Tended secession and opposed coercion. To
show how strong Union spirit must govern
the Tribune, we publish the following. which
appeared in its columns in 1854. Earnest
Union men who read it, cannot give the
Tribune credit for very intense patriotism
HAIL TO THE STARS AND STRIPES.
All hail to the Haunting Lie!
The stars grow pale and dim
The stripes are bloody scars
A Lie the Wanting hymn
1t shields pirates deck
1t binds man in chains,
1t yokes the captive's neck,
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the Haunting Lie!
Halfmast the starry flag
Insult no sunny sky
With hates polluted rag;
Destroy it, We who can,
Deep sink it in the waves!
1t bears a fellow man
To groan with fellow slaves.
Furl the boasted Lie!
Till Freedom lives again,
To rule once more in truth
Among untrammeed men.
Roll up the starry sheen,
Conceal its bloody stains,
For in its folds are seen
The stamp of rusty chains.
In view of the above, Greely ought to be
required to take the oath to support the
Constitution.

wade, was n censor of morals much after the

published "a short and true Description of
the great Membranes and Damages that
City and Country is likely to sustain by Wo-
mans Grded tails, if It be not speedily pre-
vented, together with Dedication to those
that wear them" BY Girded tails he meant
skirts framed upon hoops of steel, Ike those
now in vogue. According to Robert Ker,
men "were put to difficulty how to walk the
streets, frofn the hazard Of breaking their shin
bones" against this metal eooperage, not to
speak of the certainty of being called ill-bred
besides "If Il man" says he, "were upon the
greatest express that can be, ifye shai! meet
them in any strait stair or entry, you cannot
pass them by without being stopped, and call
ed impertinent to boot" Many are "the
other confusions cumbranees, both in churches
and in coaches" He calls for alterations in
stair cases, and new lights to be broken out
IN dark entries to save men from unchancy

Of John Knox in our pulpits, he would not

But what need admonish about these things

The Peace Party.

During the war of the Revolution
there was a Peace Party in the United
States. The members thereof we're de-
nominated Tories. They insisted on the
iuadequacy of the wrongs suffered by the
colonists to justify resort to arms; in
sinuated that the colonists had provoked
the seventies of which they complained;
dissuaded their friends and neighbors
from joining the army of Washington
magnifed the difficulties to be encoun-
tered; gave aid and comfort to the ene-
my exulted in the secession of the loyal
arms, and felt gloomy and desponding
when the continentals achieved triumphs.
There was Peace Party during the
war of 1912. The members of it were
called Federalists. They acclaimed
against the horrors of battle fields ex-
aggerated the cost of armies and navies;
bewailed the destruction of commerce
and the currency amplifed dolorous
statements of taxation to be borne and
of ruin to be incurred. They comnuni-
Gated important intelligence to the foe ;
encouraged him to predicate hopes of
success on internal dissensions, burnt
blue lights to show him when and where
to strike; and paraly yzed the arm of the
Government to the utmost extent of their
ability. They held famous Peace meet
ing at Hartford. and the result was that
all the men who participated in that con-
vocation were consig ned to an immortal
ity of shame.
There is Peace party in the country
now. 1t is difficult to say what the men,
bers thereof will adopt as their cogno-
men. They have inherited all the vices
and none Of the virtues of both Tories
and Federalists. They have the jargon
of each of those old parties, and COM
pound the two into the most preposter-
Gus accusations against loyal men and
into the shallowest justifcations of them
selves. In remote school houses, in un-
frequented garrets, dismal dens they hold
local meetings, to aid the public enemy
and to weaken the National Government. |

A Patriotic Maryland Lady.

In making the surveys Of the en-
trenchments to be made on the Northern
and Eastern side Of Washington, the
engineer officers came to lovely spot
near Bladensburg. A pretty cottage
stood on the brow Of hill, surrounded
on all sides by shrubbery, grape vines,
orchards, shade trees, a superb lawn, .
beautiful flower garden. DC. It was,
indeed, little paradise. It is the resi-
dence of lady and her daughters, whose
husband is now away fighting in the
service Of his country. The line Of en-
trenchments, as surveyed. passed d.
rectly over this spot The hill COM
mands the surroundin country for miles.
and therefore it is proper spot for q
battery. But the officers saw at glance
that il battery was erected there, it
would be necessary to cut down every
tree in the orchard, to clear away all
the shrubbery, and to make the ditch
for the parapet in the midst Of the flower
garden. The officers made several sur
veys. in hope Of finding some way in
which to avoid the necessity of occupy
ing this property at all. But in vain.
There was no other hill in the neigh
borhood that possessed the necessary
military qualifications. Calling upon
the lady, therefore, the officers explained.
in the most delicate manner, the object
of their visit. and the military necessity
which doomed her beautiful grounds to
destruction. The lady listened in ST.
lence. Tears rose in her eyes. She
arose, walked to the open window, looked
for moment upoE the lovely scene, and
then turning to the officers, said: If
it must be so take it freely. hoped
to live here in peace and quiet, and
never to leave this sweet spot, which my
husband has beautifed for years past
But if my country demand it, take it
freely. You have my consent Then
Offering refreshments to the officers. she
said no more on the subject.

people are divided and under terrorism;
ours are perfectly at their usual case.
AS we have said, the parallel does not
exist in history to the spirit in which
these States have put two hundred and
fifty thousand men in arms, and are ad-
ding to this force five thousand men dai-
ly. Whatever the extent ofthe demand
the supply will go on in the same spirit,
and the loans and taxes necessary to
maintain them will be paid with equal
promptness and cheerfulness. The duty
of entering on great war for the pres
crvation of the nation was painful at first;
but now we have all become soldiers in
certain sense, and all are ready for our
turn of picket duty whenever it comes.
The soldiers spirit accepts anything that
falls to him. good fortune or i'll fortune,
with unrufflcd equanimity. Life itselfis
far less with him than his cause and his
duty, and that which the soldier in arms
accepts as his rule, whole people may
accept if they have the proper feeling
We undertake to say that the loyal peo-
pie OF the nation as whole are now one
vast body of enrolled soldiers in the dis
charge of the great duty which has fallen
to them, able and willing to do ANYTHING
that the exigency may devolve upon
them, whether that shall be losses in bus.
iness and estates, or loss of health or of
life.
Coming to this conclusion from the
highest and coolest considerations and
motives which can influence men, it will
be found that nothing can stand against
nation SO resolved. The doubtful time
has passed with US, and hereafter the
whole course of operations is clearly for
seen. We shall punish our enemies in
arms as traitors to government the most
benefcent the world has known, and shall
have clear field with those who have
forfeited all they have, their lives and
their property alike. Whatever they re-
tain will be through the clemcncy of the
restored Union, Union then powerful
enough to be able to show clemency in
all cases having mitigating features.
There is no passion or ma'ignity to blend
the future rulers of the restored country.
and the south generally will be in a con-
dltlon which might move the most obdu-
rate heart to pity. Whether this firm
purpose of the rightful government of
the country will have its proper effect on
the secessionists before they are broken
by military defeats is doubtful. but it GER
tainly will then impress them, and will
crush their whole fabric in a very little
time thereafter. -NorM american.
