The HELstorY of a Traitor.

A Philadelphia paper gives the following in
cidents in the life of traitor, Ben. McCulloch
of Texas:
ain December, 1872 a small band of brave
men belonging to the then independent Repub-
lie of Texas, were ordered by that Government
to proceed to the border line of the State on the
Rio Grande, and there protect the citizens of the
Republic from the forays of the Mexicans, and
to retaliate for the injuries and insults so long
endured by them. The command was under
Gen. Somerville, and at the town of Leredo
numbered in all about 900 men. This town, al
though within and belonging to the Republic of
Texas, had for some time been in possession of
the Mexican troops Leredo was taken but
with trifling resistance. The command was then
divided and about 600 men marched upon and
captured the town of Guerrero, within the Re-
public of Mexico. A retreat was then ordered
and the detachment retired within the confines
of their own Republic, where the command was
again divided and about 300 men under Col.
Fisher, withdrew, and by special agreement
marched upon the town of Mier. The town was
captured and a contribution levied for the sup
port of the detachment. A day or two elapsed
before the contribution could be delivered, dur
ing which interval the Mexican army, number
ing 5000 men, under command of General Am
pudia, arrived, and prevented the delivery of
the contributions Detachments from the Texan
band made forays into the adjoining neighbor-
hood, and seized upon and recovered assessment
of horses, mules, &c, from the farmers. These
were needed for the defense and escape of the
band from the Mexican army. On the evening
of the 25th of December when the men were
formed for the purpose of marching the second
time upon the town of Mier, where the Mexican
army was then stationed, inquiry was made for
the parties who had secured the horses and mules
alluded to, and it was then discovered that these
men had deserted and taken with them all the
| horses and mules-nOw so necessary not only
for the defense but escape of the whole force
Notwithstanding, this little band braved the at
tack contemplated, and were taken prisoners
The principal in command of the few who de-
serted (and who took with them the last hope OF
escape) is now an important officer in command
of the army of the "SOuthern Confederate
States" and who connived and cooperated with
Gen. Twiggs in the late surrender ofthe United
States troops in Texas. We refer to Benjamin
McCulloch, for the second time traitor

A LITTLE LONGER.

A little longer yet, little longer,
Shall volets bloom for thee and sweet birds sing,
And the lime branches where soft winds are blowing
Shall murmur the sweet promise of the spring.
little longer yet, little longer,
Thou shalt behold the quiet of the morn.
While tender grasses and awakening flowers,
Send upa golden tint to greet the dawn.
little longer yet, little longer,
The tenderness OF twilight shall be thine
The rosy clouds that float oer dying daylight,
Nor fade till trembling stars begin to shine.
A little longer yet, little longer,
Shall starry night be beautiful for thee,
And the cold moon shall look thro the blue silence,
Flooding her silver path upon the sea.
A little longer yet, little longer,
The voices thou hast loved shall charm thine ear
And thy true heart that beats quick to hear them
little longer yet shall hold them dear
little longer, joy while thou mayest;
Love and rejoice, for time has nought In store
And soon the darkness of the grave shall bid thee
Love and rejoice, feel and know more.
A little longer stil-patience beloved
A little longer STILL e'er Heaven unroll
The glory and the brightness and the wonder
Eternal and divine, that waits the soul.
little longer ere life true immortal.
(Not this our shadowy life,) will be thine own,
And thou shalt stand where winged archangels worship
And trembling bow before the great white throne.
little longer still, and heaven awaits thee,
And fills thy spirit with great delight;
Then our pale joys win seem dream forgotten,
Our sun darkness, and our day night.
A IittIa 1onoor opd tby boo - ,olorod
Shall beat forever with joy divine:
And joy pure, so mighty, eternal,
No mortal knows, and lives shall then be thine.
A little longer yet, and angel voices
Shall sing in heavenly chant upon thine ear;
Angels and saints await thee and God needs thee;
Beloved, can we bid thee linger herei

TEIE SIGNAL STAR

'Come back, come back my childhood" LIE. L
I'd not recall my childhood,
with all its sweet delight,
Its simple bird-like gladness,
1t was not always bright.
Even morning had her tear drops,
And Spring her clouded sky,
And on the faircst cradle,
I've seen the shadows lie.
I'd not recall my childhood,
Though tender memories throng
Around its rosy portals,
Preclusive to life's song;
The full voice living chords
Are swelling round me now,
And roster light is resting
Upon my maiden brow.
have made a changeful journey,
Up the hill of life since morn,
have gathered flowers and blossoms,
I've been pierced by many a thorn,
But from out the core Of sorrow
have plucked a jewel rare,
The strength which mortals gather
In their ceaseless strife with care.
Now grasp life's burning beaker,
And howe'er the bubbles glow,
I'll pause not till I've tasted
The deepest wave below;
Though bitter dregs may mingle,
The crimson light shall roll
In full and fearless currents
Through the fountains Of my soul.
Mol I'd not go back to childhood,
From the radiant flush of noon,
And when evening closes round me,
Icrave one only boon;
Amid the valleys darkness,
It's dangers and its dread,
The signal star Of Judah
To shine above my head.

When Daniel s. Dickinson was Senator, he
was called upon to look over a pile of docu-
ments in the Department urging claims for ap-
pointment to Postofhce not far from Bingham

note in a lady 8 hand, and signed aNANoY came
to view, asking the place for herself, and giving
but single reference that of the honorable

on the back of the application, 81 go for Nancy.
Whereupon Nancy" who happened to be a
pretty youg widow, was appointed, aud accept
ably filled the office.
The telegraph states that the President has
determined to call an extra session of Congress
This measure appears to be rendered necessary
by the failure OF the last Congress TO arrange
some of the most important business connected
with the Administration of the government.

senator Chase's Letter of Resignation.
Below we publish Senator Chases letter Of
resignation to the Legislature of Ohio:
WAsHINeToN, March 9Th, 1861.


WASHINGTON, March 9th, 1861.
Sir: VIII you have the goodness to make
known to the General Assembly my resignation
of the Office of Senator of the United States
from the State of Ohio, of which l shall imme-
diately notify the President of the Senate? 1t
would be far more consonant with my wishes to
remain at the post to which the people of Ohio,
through the General Assembly, saw fit to call
me. Deeply indebted to their generosity for
repeated marks of confidence, profoundly CRATE
full for the indulgent consideration with which
my endeavors to promote their interests have
ever been regarded by them, it is impossible fol
me to prefer any other service to theirs.
But the President has thought fit to call me
to another sphere of duty, more laborious, more
arduous, and fuller by far of perplexing respon.
siblities. have sought to avoid it, and would
now gladly decline it if I might. find it
however impossible to do so without seeming
to shrink from cares and labors for the common
good which cannot be hororably Stunned.
shall accept, therefore, these duties, greatly
distrusting my own abilities, but humbly invok.
ing Divine aid and guidance. I shall hope that
my decision will meet the approval of the Gen.
eral Assembly and the people of Ohio, and shall
greatly rejoice, if by constant application ofmy
best powers in the service of the whole country
| shall succeed in contributing any thing to thai
common welfare in which Ohio has an interest
hardly inferior to that of any other of the States
of the Union. / have the honor to be with We
ry great respect
Yours truly,
S, P. CHASE.

the 'Dixie," whose praise is growing universal:
80, is not this happy land

Where Natures lessons may be read
In every babbliug brook;
Where bumblebees don't sting chap,
And muly don't hooki"

HEAVY Fnosr IN NoRrHERN A1ADAMA.-Th

HEAVY Frost IN NORTHERN ALABAMA.-The
Evansville journal says:
@We are informed by a gentlemen who has
Just returned from Northern Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, that on Friday night, March 18th, the
peach crop in that section of country was en-
tirely cut off. The trees were in full bloom
During the day there was considerable rain, and
in the evening the weather suddenly became
very cold, and in the night there was hard
freeze. About Florence, Tuscumbia, Eastpor
and Chickasaw, it was supposed the peaches
were entirely destroyed. How far South thu
freeze extended our informant did not ascertain.

WAS LINCOLN IN DANGER AT BALTIMoRE?-
A correspondent of the Macon [Ga.1 Telegraph,
writing from Baltimore, states that Mr. Lincoln
would have been egged beyond the shadow of a
doubt had he passed through that city accord
ing to the programme. The writer speaks of his
own knowledge, for he was in the crowd at the
depot, heard the threats Of those composing it,
saw the eggs, and, what is more to the purpose,
nasal proof of their bad quality as they were
prematurely crushed in the swaying of the
crowd

WHITE LABOR AT THE SoUTH.-It is Of
ten asserted that none but the colored race
can endure the heat Of the South. To this
il is replied:
"There is not one single rood of the
Southern States beneath tropical sun
Every acre Of our Slave States lies within
the temperate zone. The isothermal line
which passes through Savannah, Georgia,
Madrad and Rome, where no white man
dreams Of any incapacity to labor. "In the
extreme South" says Oassius NJ, Clay, sat
New Orleans, the lsboTing men, the steve
dores, and hackmen, on the levee, where
the heat is intensified BY the proximity Of
the red brick buildings, are all white men,
and they are in full enjoyment Of health." /"
',rhe steady heat Of our summers" says
Governor Hammond, of South Carolina, sis
not so pEostrAting as the Short but frequent
and sudden bursts of Northern summers"
"Here in New Orleans" says DIR. Cart
wright, "she large part Of tho drudgery
work requireiDg exposure 10 the sun, such
as railroad making, street paving, ditching
and building, is performed by white people"
Every well informed man knows that in
Texas, where the Germans viii not employ
slave labor, these hardy emigrants from the
North Of Europe, produce with their own
hands more cotton TO the acre than the
slAves."
