ENGLAND AND THE MIssIssIPPI.-The
English papers claim a right to navigate
the Mississippi, which, they say, secess-

Paris, signed on the 3oth of November,
1882, it was stipulated that "the navi-
cation of the Mississippi, from its source
to the ocean, shall forever remain free aud
open to the subjects of Great Britain and
the citizens of the United States"

TOGETHER EVER.


Truce TO thy fond misgivings,
These fruitless tears give o'er,
No absence can divide us,
No parting part us more!
Mountains and seas may rise between,
To mock our baffled will
But heart in heart, and soul in soul,
We bide together still.
When stern Death shall work his worst,
And all our joys are done,
Fen by the mystery that unites
The dial with the sun
Though one exist in heavenly bliss,
One in this world of i'll,
Yet heart in heart, and soul in soul,
Wen bide together still.

River MovEMENTs.-The u. S. steamer
Pensacola got up steam this morning and
started down the river. 1t is rumored she
is to make trial trip as far as Indian Head
and then return to her mornings off this
city. Two schooners, one with hay, and the
other with grain for the United States, ar
rived up this morning, and report that they
passed the batteries last night in gale, and
we're not shot at. A vessel loaded with
wood also came up apparently somewhat
Injured and cast anchor in the stream The
brig Delaware which left here some days
since with load of coal, is at anchor off Fort
Washington, having returned, unwilling to
venture within range of the batteries.
The FUEL MARKET. The supply Of fuel
this week has not kept pace with the de-
mand, owing to the fact that the United
States has been large purchaser. Two
cargoes of anthracite coal arrived, all Of
which was purchased by the United States
at 80 per ton, except twenty-seven tons sold
to private consumers. Several cargoes Of
wood have arrived by the river, and consid-
cradle also by railroad and carts, but the
present appearance Of things upon the river
has stffened prices little. We quote rates
az follows:
CoAL.-Anthracite-N None in market. last
sales, SO per ton. Cumberland, lump, 81 go.
Run of mine, $3.50. NJ fine in market
WooD.-Oak. $5.5O@S7 .0O.-Pase--none

MAYoR's OFFrcE.-The only case up this
morning was that of lad charged with
breaking open the stall of Mr. Bassart in the
city Market and stealing therefrom some
$50 cents.
The evidence not proving conclusively the
com mission of the deed, and there being no
place for juvenile offenders. the lad was dis
charged, after an admonition.

IT'S uNBouNpED STRENGTH AND PATRIOT

IT'S UNBoUNpED STRENGTH AND PATRIOTISM
The Boston Transcript has the fol.
lowing very truthful article in refer
ence to the remarkable unanimity Of
the citizens of the Western States in
their endeayors to support the Gov
ernment in the present crisis:
We have boastcd of being a great
country now we see that we are
one. Especially do we see this when
we look toward the West. The growth
of the comparatively new States,
though we have heard of it and seen
it, has been so unprecedented, that we
have failed to realize it. Something
was wanted to give this mighty pow
er concentration and make it visi-
bic and tangible fact. This the pres
ent crisis has done and is doing.
On the Atlantic coast, keeping our
eyes so habitually scaward, or toward
New York and Washington, we hard.
ly comprehend the uprising west oi
the .Allcghanies. Commonwealths,
gigantic in population and resources,
have taken the place of wiidernesscs,
almost since treason at the South be-
gan its plottings for secession chief
ly moved thereto by seeing how the
Free States were outstripping the
Slave States in all that constitutes
greatness.
These commonwealth, the Oldest
and the youngest of them, lave come
forth at tho call of the country with a
patriotism, as ailluent in resources as
it is earnest in purpose. Ohio alone
could have furnished all the troops
asked for in the Presidents first proc
lamation, and at this moment, it would
seem, Indiana is ready to send more
regiments to the seat Of war than the
Government is disposed to accept OF
able TO arm. Then what good news
of energy and readiness comes from
the younger States of Iowa, Wiscon
lin and Minnesota

ance, has manifested its marvellous

OUR C0UNTRY'S PERIL,
BY MISS ELIZABETH j. COLE.

We stand upon a dizzy height
A yawning gulf beneath
Dark frowning clouds obscure the light
Our fathers did bcqueath.
The Southern foe-a clamorous host
Invade our heartlistoncs dear,
And many un oath, and vaunting boast
Fall ON the anxious ear.
Where is The ohivalry Of the South9
Where now their brave true men
Who fought cen ut the esinnons mouth
Our liberty 10 gain
One flag h.4gthen on they bore,
Ayenging all its wrongs,
Yes i'm those bloody scenes of yore.
United we were strong.
Now o'er them wave the serpenls coils
They seem themselves stransformcd
From the brave souls who won great spoil,
Where ragged wars iicrcest storm.
sour country" ever cherished land,
Whose SONS were truly brave,
Her affairs, may they firmly stand
While there's an arm To save.
Can this fair legacy he rcnt9
Dismcmhered this strong framcl
Our country to oblivion sent!
Or flourish but in nameg
All no ttc lIltS sill uDallt DC ours,
Pure blood as ever flowed
VIII deck the soil with brighter flowers
Than gentle hands c CT somed.
Armed warriors stand to-day where stood
The bountcous fruits of toll,
And bathed is many n form in blood
That peaceful titled the soil
The widowed heart weeps for her love,
The Drnhan matrrs his sire
And still this but drop will prove
OF sorrows deep and dire.
Member 'gainst kindred member strives,
Fieroely the work goes ON.
Madly our peaceful nation writhcs
Its mortal struggle on.
Great God to thee we humhly come,
In Thy strong arm we trust
To give lis still u peaceful home
Where sleeps our fathers dust.

strength with an equally marvellous
promptness. 1t seems TO have but
one mind and ono heart to move and
wicld its strong arm. In this there
is encouragement and hope. There
seems to be no faltcring any where
over that vast region, vast enough in
itself to pc a magnificent kingdom.
The determination Of the West cvi-
IDENTIFY is to maintain the integrity and
authority Of the nation against all OPP
poncnts. There the battle has been
fought with dircctness of aim and a
promptncss of action truly admirable: !:
and there, too, we may be confident, no
talk of peace will be tolerated which
is to dismcmber the Union or leave in
IN it those elements of disturbance
which have hitherto been its peril and
its plaugc.
