A Good Woman.

| account pure, beautiful, intelli-
gent, and wcll-bred woman, the most
attractive object of vision and con-
temptation in the world. AS mother,
sister, and wife, such a woman is an
angel Of grace and goodness, and
makes heaven of the home which is
sanctiiied and gloritied by her pres
ence. AS an element of society, she
invites into finest demonstrations all
that is good in the heart, and shames
into secresy and silence all that is un-
becoming and despicable. There may
be more of greatness and Of glory in
the higher developments of manhood,
but, surely, in womanhood God most
delights to show the beauty of the no.
illness and the sweetness of the love
of which he is the infinite source. 1t
is for this reason that a silly young
man or vicious old one makes me
sigh and shudder. 1t is for this rea-
son that pray that l may write wor-
thily of young women.-1imOthy TIT

Privateering.

In spite of the blind put forth in
the Southern press about the dctermi-
nation to commission no privateers till
after the meeting Of the Confederate
Congress, piratical ships are at
this moment anoat. Northern YES
sells are every day seized in South
ern ports and fitted up for the nefari-
Gus pursuit and those on their way
thither from all parts of the world,
will fall an easy prey to these wreck
ers " on a large scale. 1t is because
they hope to drive sharp business in
this line for the next fortnight that the
lying paragraph above referred to was
put in circulation. Now the North
can block that game at once, and for
good. We have an abundance of
strong, swift, light draft vessels lying
unemployed at the wharves, and we
can cover their decks, at a days no.

wide world for daring and endurance
All along the coast of Maine there is
population of this kind who have no
other way Of serving their country
and who only want permission to en-
gage in this. We have no doubt thai
the enterprising ship owners of Port
land, and the entire New England
Coast will, with alacrity, cooperate II

York will take hold of it in earnest

IOWA.
HER INDEBTEDNESS TO THE UNION.

HER INDEBTEDNESS TO THE UNION.
The loyalty Of Iowa to the United
States is clear and unquestionable,
and there is every reason that such
should be the case. Sixty years ago
our soil was in possession Of Spain.
Having been transferred to France, il
was purchased Of Napoleon, then First
Consul, by President Jefferson. His
agents in making the purchase, were
Robert X. Livingston, of New York,
and James Monroe, of Virginia. 1t
was purchased by the United States,
not by New York or Virginia. 1t was
paid for in money of the United States.
For a period of forty three years there
was no other jurisdiction upon this
soil than that Of the United States.
1t was the Uaited States that extin-
guished the title of the Indians to the
lands VIC now cultivate, and to the
sites of our fourishing cities. In
1905, Lieut.. Pike, an officer of the
General Government sailed up the
River along our shores, bearing the
Stars and Stripes" on tour of eX-
ploration. Lewis and Clark, under
the same authority, explored our West
ern boundary. Our lands were sur
veyed, and many of our towns were
laid ont by the United States. Bur,
lington owes it to the enlightened pol
icy of the General Government to.
ward US, that within the city limits
as originally laid out, under act OF
Congress, our streets have width OF
so feet, while in subsequent additions
to the city, private enterprise and
speculation has made streets only &C
and 40 feet wide.
From the United States we have re
ceivcd a section of land in every
township, and other liberal grants O
land, for the support of schools, 81
that nearly all our children receiv,
their education in alarge degree, from
the liberality of the Government som,
are now base enough to decry.
To the surveys and explorations o
Nicollet, Fremont, Owen and others
in the service of the United States
we are indebted for our earliest au
thentic information respecting the to
biography and resources Of our Con,
monwealth.

Men of Principle.

The man of principle needs not the
restriction Of seal or signature, or any
legal instrument. He deals in soli-
tude as in public, at midnight as in
the sunshine. His grasped hand is as
good as bond, and his promise as
sterling as gold. The complicated
interests of men, which so often jar
and conflict, are reconciled in him
with beautiful harmony. He is him
self the embodiment of justice, the
symbol of perfect society. His
charities are not the droppings Of a
formal pity, but the ointment Of a
yearning love. In his soul there is a
fountain of humor, and close by. a
fountain of tears. His spirit is an in
strument strung to every proper mood,
touched by the light graccs OF the
passing hour, or swept by solemn
thoughts that wander through etcrni-
tyr

" Down East /" Pluck.

The patriotic Spirit which now ami
mates the whole North is illustrated
in thousand ways by the men, wo-
men and children Of every city, town
and hamlet. One of the most striking
instances of the determined feeling
which everywhere pcrvades the popu
lar heart, is the following:
When the steamer State of Maine
arrived at Fort Monroe with the Mas
sachusctts troops, the Virginia resi-
dents around the Fort, who are all Sc
cesionists, were very much surprised,
enragcd and mortified. They collect,
cd around the captain of the steamer,
who is as cool and intrepid specimen
of Yankee as New England contains
and told him significantly that the
troops would never go back to Massa
chusetts. He replied that that was
the last thing they thought of ; that
the country was 50 fine they intended
to settle, and send for their friends,
and he was going back to New York
to get another load. Another set, be-
longing to an armed schooner cn
gagged in enforcing the local laws ot
Virginia, insolently claimed the right
of searching the State of Maine fol
negroes. The captain told them they
should not go aboard to take out any
body, black or white. They replied
that by the laws of Virginia, they haG
the right of search. lie retorted
that he knew nothing about the laws
of Virginia, but sailed by the laws
and under flag the of the United
States. He also assured them, if ther,
were any negroes there who were de
sirous of a voyage to New York, h,
should be very happy to accommodate,
them /; and closed the conversation b,
saying" You have been preaching
all your lives that the Yankees are
pack of misers and towards, VIII,
won't fight !; now you'll have a favor
able opportunity to test the accuracy
Of your opinions on that point"

Northern Enthusiasm.

The uprising of the North contin-
ues. The military excitement and en-
thusiasm do not abate. On the con.
trary, they grow with what they feed
on. Offers of money, of munitions,
clothing, subsistence, &C., pour in
from all quarters. The Herald, OF
Milwaukee, publishes a list of the con
tributions and appropriations already
made, in support of the Government,
from different States, Cities, Towns
Corporations, and individuals. They
already foot up the enormous amount
of t,centy-eigt millions of dollars in the
brief space of a fortnight and al
this no forced loan, no compelled sub.
scription, but free gift from a great
people to the government of theiI
choice. The history of the world af
fords no parallel to this spontaneou,
Offering of nations wealth in dc
fence of that nations honor.

Acting on the Defensive,

We trust that this misunderstanding
phrase will no longer be heard from
the lips of any man of common sense
and patriotism. When the secession
lists of Norfolk and Portsmouth ap-
piled to the Commander of the Navy
Yard to know wat he intended to do,
he told them that he should simply act
on the defensive. The result was the
destruction cf our ships and the sac
rifce Of public property worth mil,
lions. Acting on the defensive now
means nothing else than the sacrifice
of the strong and the true to the weak
and the faithlcss.

Keeping the Sabbath.

God IS revcrcd by the services
which multitudcs pay him, and delight
to pay him. on the Sabbath, as they
take an offering and come into his
courts. We look upon these Sabbath
gatherings over all the land, as the
evidence Of a deep.seatcd, far-reach-
ing piety, which clings to the arm OF
God as the nations only fortress and
refngc. They are the exponent of a
devotional sentiment which the world
cannot smother or reprcss. They are
a hopeful sign of good, present and
future, springing from the liberal hand
of Father who loves to pour bcne
factions down in answer to the adora
tions Of beseeching souls. And sc
long as the Sabbath is observed in its
integrity. we will not tremble for the
safety Of the ark either of our relig
ious or civil liberties.

The Feople and the Crisis.

In crisis like this the people are
impatient Of routine, and indignant at
every approach to rcd-tapeism. The
people, solemnly in earnest, do not
want any bargains-the trade of pol
iticians-carried on now, or to have a
moment occupied by the Administra-
ton in any other less important work
than the work of saving the Republic
and putting down treason. 1t does
not suit the temper of the people to
have consultations about a right of
way to the Capital going on between
the Cabinet at Washington and the
Governor of Maryland or the Mayor
of Baltimore. They have rushed to
arms at the first call. They are ready
to respond to any extent to demands
for men and money. All they ask
now is to have the Government COM
prchcnd the crisis and their willing
ness to meet it, and be up and doing.
The people are satisfied that time
enough has been given to rebellion for
repentance, that loss enough has been
incurred in trying conciliatory meas
ures. The patience of our country
has been exhausted by the fruitlcss
inaction, that has been waiting for
treason to convert itself. Trade and
commerce have suffered long enough.
The nation has been disgraccd and dis
turbed long enough. 1t desires now
to conquer peace, and retrieve the
disgrace of the past with the strong
arm of force. Let every free man in
the land-every press that supports
the Constitution and believes in the
enforcement Of the laws, speak out
from the North, the East, and the
West, and tell the Administration that
all the people ask now, is action,
prompt, rcsolute action, to make the
motto of the New York Ccrro Gordo
Legion a fact, and hoist "Me Stars
am Stripes from erery fog-stcF from
Maine TO Icras."

Northern Insanity.

Southern newspapers say: "Thc
North is mad" In one sense, it cer-
tainly is-somewhat angry it certain
ly is : but we have all around us, at
all hours of the day and night, cumu-
lativc evidence that there is a method
in this Northern madness. For luna
tics, we are getting on remarkably
well. From that eminent lunatic,
Winfield Scott, down, there is no
alarming evidence of insanity. North
crn theories Of liberty and human
equality seem to be hardening into
pretty substantial practice.
The tone Of the Southern newspa-
pers, in speaking of the wealthy, intel
ligent and patriotic North as one great
anarchy, and of the Northern people
as a goddess mob" of Puritans,
Freelovcrs, Abolitionists, Mormons,
Atheists, and Amalgamationists," has
given the gentlemen who have cast
away the slave-whip for the rife, quite
a mistaken notion of our resources as
we'll as our character. Consequently,
having said to US, in the elegant lam
guage of Marshal Ryndcrs, 1--WE don't
believe word of your id philan-
thropy," they consider that by saying
SO they have foored us. We beg
leave to announce to them, that they
will find no Free Love in our firearms,
no irreligion in our revolvcrs, no thco-
ries in our bombardments, no Nor
monism in our musketry, no cant in
our commissariat, and no niggard!i-
ness in our military chests. We are
not wild Indians-wc are not all mu-
lattoes--we arc not all mere shop
keepers we are not all misers-we
are not all mobocrats-some of us at
least are honest men, with no particu-
lar inclination to be beaten, but with
decided inclination, when we arc
trampled upon, to resist.

POPULAR SoNGs.-Thc national song
entitled "Thc star Spangled Banner
was suggested and partially written
by Francis S. Key, of Baltimore, while
he was detained in the British feet
during the bombardmcnt of Fort Nc

The song of " Hail Columbia was

son, of Philadelphia, to be sung at the
theatre for the benefit of an actor who
was his friend. 1t was composed at
a time Of great popular excitement,
when a war with Franco seemed in
evitablc. In his old age, Judge Hop.
kinson furnished DR.. X. w. Griswold
detailed history of the circumstances
under which the song was written.
He said "the object of the author was
to get up an Amerioan spirit which

A Traitor Scorned by his Wife.

Lieut.. Abner Smcad, of the First
Artillery, was sent, a few weeks since,
by Lieut.. Slemmer, to Washington, to
apprizc the Government of the abso-
lutte necessity Of supplies and rein
forccmcnts at Fort Pickens. Forgctfui
of all obligations of honor and duty,
Lieut.. Smead took Montgomery in his
way northward, and having submitted
his dispatches to the pcrusal of the
rebel authorities. proceeded to Wash
ington, whittier the news of his trca-
son having anticipated him, he was
not shot, as he deserved to be, but
simply struck from the roll of the
army. The wife and children of Lieut..
Smead, together with the families of
several officers Oh duty in the South,
were at Fortress Monroe The Lieu
tenant hastcned from Washington to
obtain his family, and remove them
southwark, but his movements were
not so rapid but that his crime had
been reported before him. When,
therefore, he presented himself at the
fort, he was refused admission, the
officer on duty declining to "admi,
a traitor" within a Federal post the
only favor conceded being that Ia,
might have an interview with Mrs
Smcad without the walls. That inter
view the unhappy miscrcant is mo-
likely to forget. Attended by few

LIES CONFLICTS.
BY MISS y. J. COLE.


My heart is sore pcrplexed and sal,
Earth has no charms to make me glad,
But when these conflicts all are Ger
Swcctly l. II rest on Canaan's shore
Here strong temptations do assail,
And often Ger my strength prevail;
But Satan did our Savior tempt,
Subjecting him to sore contempt
But never did His footsteps stray.
Though earthly good might lure away,
Ever the way to Life He trod,
The afflicted holy Son Of God'
He suffered pain, and shame. and loss,
And pcrishcd on the Jewish cross
But never did His courage fail,
Though death and hell did him assail.
Our Savior died but rose again
For us the precious Lamb was slain;
He died but lives forcvermore-
Praised be his name from shore to shore
Then let me never murmur more,
Or give the noble struggle Ger,
Tho cares surround and death alright,
Fearless I'll go in Jesus might.
No, let me follow where He trod,
The shining way that leads TO God,
Assured through Christ | III overcome,
And ever reign with Him at home.
