CUMBERLAND GAP.-Referring to the
Cumberland Gap, the Louisville Journal
says:
Much has been said about this point,
and in future the interest in that quarter is
likely to increase. 1t Is situated about ten
miles from Cumberland Ford, aud has been
celebrated, for century, asa great de-
preston in the mountain ridge, which trav-
erses the continent from New Hampshire
to Northern Alabama. Through this gap,
very similar In its appearance and charac-
teristics to the South Pass in the Rocky
Mountains, formerly the emigrants from
Virginia aud North Carolina passed on
their way to the virgin wilds of the West.
For half century, thousands upon thous-
Rnds poured through this natural gateway
into the Mississippi valley, from the Allan
tic slopes. Boone, Kenton, and their pio-
neer confreres first entered the land of"cane
aud turkey" over this pre-Adamite turn
pike. 1t really forms TO this hour, the best
and, in fact, only practicable road for the
transportation of troops and heavy muni-
tions Of war from East Tennessee into Ken
lucky.

FORNEY ON BUCHANAN.-J. W. Forney, In
q late number Of the Press gives ex-Presi'
dent Buchanan the following very deserved
scoring:
The idea of James Buchanan writiag
letter TO q Union meeting 10 this crisis IS
the subiimity Of imDudence, and II we did
not know with how much heartlessness he
contemplated and assisted in the ruin OF bis
country, we should be amazed at his temer-
ity in sending such hollow professions forth
among people who only permit bis pres
ence in tneir midst on account of his years.
Had the action of the ex-President been
prompt" and "energetc," we should not
now be divided and belligerent people.
Had he repelIed from his presehce the infa'
nous men who drove him into the Lecomp'
ton treachery; had he dismissed the cor
rupt ministers who robbed the national
treasury; had he tolerated differences among
independent Democrats upon great national
questions, his name would not now be
Kissing aud a scorn among the nations OF
the earth, One fact alone stamps James
Buchanan with the brand of immortal in
fanny, and that is the manner in which he
encouraged Jacob Thompson, his Secretary
of the Interior, after Mississippi had left the
Union. This Thompson retained his place
in Buchanan's Cabinet aud absolutely ac-
ted as commissioner from his own State
(Mississippi) TO the State of North Carolina
In order to seduce the latter to follow the
same example. When he returned he was
not only welcomed by the President, but,
after he had retired from the Cabinet on
account of the attempt to reinforce Fort
Sumter, Buchanan gave him great State
dinner, and wrote him an approving fare
we'll letter. Silence in these dark hours
was the proper course for the ex-Presldent
TO have pursued.

THE WREATH OF THE BRAVE.

fThe following noble and appropriate poem, HOE, Iroa
,be pen of the gifted and Amented Joseph koaman
I,rs Il has not until recently, been published ~
Is applicable to the present time ana WI, De ia
with much pleasure by the admirers OF the oeparleu
poet:
when the bright star of peace from my country was
Hone fondiy presaged II would soon reappear,
But stiI dark In gloom the horizon Is shrouded,
And the beacon OF war blazes dreadiuhy near
And Aed are the charms which the heart once de-
lighted; m
Forgot the enjoyments tranquility gave
Every Aow,ret Is wthered, each blossom is bhghted,
But the wreath which eDcireles the brow OF the
brave.
But sourncd be the soul to true feeling stranger
That refuses 70 yalor the need 1t has won;
,Tis A prize dearly earned amid peril and danger,
And shall bloom till eternity's march s begun.
BE the arm ever hallowed for freedom contending
where the star-adorned banners Of Liberty wave;
For the Heayen-blest cause which that arm Is de-
Tending,
Makes sacred the wrath which encrcles the brave.
Though delightful that wreath to the votary Of glory
who scars on the pinions Of Victory to fame;
Though each patriots bosom beats high at the story
That emblaEona with honor Americas name;
Yet 'tls only In blood that the laurel flourish,
'Tis Honor's red trophy tits pucked from the grave
And the tears of tine widow and orphan must nOursf
The wreath that encrcles the brow Of the brave.
Yet, blame not the bard that, with human aversion
He shuddering turns when the battle-storm lowers
And erults that the aim OF the patriots exertiOn,
Peace, sanctioned by Honor, long shall be ours
Then the warrior shall sheathe, with smile OF de
VOtion,
His sword that he welded his country to save,
And the wreath they have won on the field and tn
Immortal shall bloom on the brow Of the brave.

INDIA.

BY the arrival of the Bombay mail of November 26,
we have interesting details Of the teegaphic accounts
already published. The Bombay papers give unfa-
yorable picture of the state of India. Strong Demon
stratons had been made againt the income tax in var
ous places At Poona several thousand natives assem-
bled and publicly tore up the income-tax papers.
The Government of the Nizam had ceded TO the
British rich eotton-Towing country including BE-
har.
The papers contain the details Of the execution Of
private in the Fifth Bengal European Infantry, and
The subsequent disbandrnent of the Regiment on the
ground Of its general insubordnate and mltinous
duct. The general order was that more than tenth
OF the regiment bad been condemned by cours-maria
in q few weeks yet the insubordnation had continued
The disbandmeni followed Immediately after the mill
tary execution.
The prisoner marched round the square in rear Of his
cofn and was shot dead at the first volley. He ac
knowledged the justice of his sentence, and met his
death with manly resignation. Scarcely had this ter
rible scene been enacted when at an order from Brig
adler Welchman, the I'D Foot moved mp in front Of
the jth Europeans, the artillery loaded with grape
either side. The 9Th were then commanded to order
arms then TO pile arms. They obeyed, and were at
once marched some short distance clear Of the pile.
No sooner were they quite clear than two companies
Of the 3D. filing rapidly TO the spot, inervened be-
tween the 9TH and their arms to prevent the pos
sibility Of any rush to recover them.
When this had been accomplished, the Bigadier
read out an order pronouncing the doom OF The regi
men. 1t was struck ont of the army list all ITS
commissioned officers were reduced TO the ranks and
the men, divided into five equal portions, drafted
into the five remaining regiments of the Bengal army
Men with medals their breasts, who had fought
Eagands battles all the world, many of the old
soldiers who had been drafted from the old RenQa
and from Royal regiments, appeared 10 be utterly
heartbTokcn, and sobbed aloud.
