TnE Mobile Gala 1ferenry, the leading
organ of secession in Alabama, has an ar
ticlo headed-''Vigilance Needed and in
it it says this:
Cd. Slaves are constantly Hssociating
with Too lrhite people tVho are not sLGUe OlrH-
erS. Such people are dangerous to n COM
munity, AND SHOULD be MAIDS TO LEAvE
THE CITY.
This paragraph takes the eye of PEARSON
BrownlOw, of tue Tennessee Whig, and he
comments on it, thus;
This is the spirit Of secessionl All
white people who do not own negroes, are
slow white People'-they are dangerous
to any community, and ought to be made
leave the cities and towns and States
where they areI This accOrds with Rhett's
doctrine of allowing mono to vote but
those who own land or negroes. This

,JrpGE M LEAN S RELIGIOUS CHARACTER.-Dr.
Haven in an article on Judge nj Lean, concludes
thus " Judge M'Lean was devoted member
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church. During
all the time of his residence at Washington he
is said to have been a regular attendant upon
class meeting. He never allowed his duties as
a statesman and a jurist to interfere with his
obligations to Christianity and Methodsm. We
are not aware that envy or partisan rancor has
ever brought Il reproach or even suspicion upon
his private or his official character. AS long as
men appreciate Il sound Jurisprudence, unlm-
peachable integrity, and simple piety, SO long
will the name of John M'Lean be cherished in
the hearts of his brethren and fellow citizens -

Coming Years.

The events Of the future seem Of great inter-
est, especially to minds accustomed to calm
and rational thought. The mystery that
ever shrouds the unknown, the knowledge that
the secrets of years await the slow unfolding of
successive days, that no earthly power can an
ticipate the tempest or the calm which they
may announce, serves to augment, rather than
diminish, the interest which they possess.
From the past, we have learned that in this
world of wondrous beauty, We have no claim
to abiding happiness In place of our dearest
joys our well constructed schemes for gain, for
honor, or aggrandizement, Hope sits weeping
o'er a general wreck Therefore do we look
to the future with emotions OF joy and sadness,
awaiting the hour Of sunshine and of shadows
The feelings with which coming years are
anticipated by different minds, reveal themselves
in corresponding lives The one truth which
we possess creates an abiding pam in many !;

dangers with calnl, unfinchins courage. Death
has SO little respect for earthly dgnties and
ambitious schemes, tina. it approaches, unan.
nounced, and visits both Oh them and their orig
inators Il common obstruction. But the fear of
this inevitable blow furnishes no obstable to the
designs of the human will, in their variouslv
| developed forms. Ambition rises higher and
higher, while new and brilliant trophies reward
INSCRIPTIONS efforts. 4 conqueror's name
must be written upon the page of history;
throne built upon the sacrifice Of the true and
brave. Avarice labors unreAittingly in the
base lust Of gain, feeling bat one interest,
knowing but one worship. Other passions are
Implanted in the bosoms OF men, bringing forth
their legitimate lruits-dishonor. But not
ong shall the throbbings Of such hearts be felt
The forms which the grave cncloses are silent
and motionless.
But is is owect to know that noble influences
are also at work, which shall exist beyond The
brief period allotted to earthly life. Philan-
thropy crowns her brow with laurels which shall
bloom forever. Her praise ascends in earnest
grateful blessings, from hearts which her balm
has healed. Religion goes on, conquering and
to conquer. In this little beginning of exist
enc", Sne plndS up the SheaVes Wnch shall SlO-
rify both herself and Another when Life really
commences.
The cloud Of anxiety which envelopes us
while pondering on the mysteries of coming
years, is lifted by anticipatons Of a future be-

earthly weariness, we have felt such indescriba.

Our Country.
BY GERTRUDE NJ. WEST.

A dark cloud of midnight blackness is hang
ing over this our country. Happy home circles
are entered and chilled by its breath, loving
hearts are torn asunder, War, CHASTITY and
bloody, stares us in the face. What evil can
be imagined more horrid and repulsive than that
of cruel war in this our boasted land of free
dom? Men whose veins are nearly bursting
with passions unrestrained and unsubdued, are
striving to crush out liberty, are putting for
ward many mighty arm to enforce their evil
designs, wholly forgetlul of the words, Thou
shalt not kill Will they succeed? Forbid
it, our Father
Loved ones have parted-will they ever meet
again? Perhaps not on Garth, bat there will
be many happy reunion in that peaceful home
above. Mother, think not of your noble son
lying cold and CHASTITY on the battle field, with
no tender arm near, his poor heart slowly beat
ing it's dying tl,robs, but rather think IN what
a noble cause he has fallen. Sister, turn your
eyes from the mangled corpse of your graceful
brother, and remember it was in defence OF our
country's rights that he died Oh, wife, pray
for him who so lately left your encircling arms
of love, who SO lately felt your pure warm kiss
es upon his brow-pray for him that he may do
his whole duty.
Need we fear while so many true lovers ana
admirers of Washington are left US? Need our
hearts grow faint when SO many trusting, pow
erful arms Fgrasp the shining blade? Need we
tremble when right, justice, and the cries Of
fallen humanity are speaking for us and the
cause we love
Mothers, sisters, wives, let your treasures 60
If they are sacrificed, it will be upon the patri
OTIS altar-the altar of Liberty it will bf
in a lust cause, which will receive the smile;
of our Heavenly Father. AS long as cruel
blood thirsty men remain, who delight IL
bloody Deeds mothers will be obliged to give
up their darings, cherished and carefully
reared sisters will be torn from foud and loving
brothers wives will be compelled to offer no
bic husbands, with hearts faith ul and true, tc
the grim Mooch Of war. Oh war is terrible
When it comes to our own hearth-stoncs, and
takes away our household idols, and bears then
to the battlefield, away from love and home
( then, our hearts refuse to be comforted, ant
bitter, scalding tears flow from our eyes. W.
would shut out the truth, but it looks us in the
face. Disunion and rebellion are in our coun
try. Dissolve our Union? M! ! Never Whe
would wish to dissolve such happy Union a
this, to thwart the designs of our revcred fore
fathers No one, but wicked and unprncipeo
men.
Let us all be true to our country and her in
terest', in this her her need. May we not cher
ish disunion sentiments in our hearts, but eve
be loyal and firm for truth and right An(
NAV we, Oh! our Father, soon be brought int
the sweet sunshine of liberty, into the enjoy
ment of our national rights, and may Thy pow
erful arm be stretched forth and our countr,
be saved

Prayer.

Prayer.
There is an eye that never sleeps,
Beneath the wing of night;
There is an ear that never shuts,
When sink the beams of light.
There is an arm that never tires,
When human strength gives way;
There is a love that never fails,
When earthly loves decay.
That eye is fixed on seraph throngs
That ear is filled with angels songs
That arm upholds the world on high;
That love is thrown beyond the sky.
But there's power which man can yield
When mortal ai,l is vain .
That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
That listening ear to gain.
That power is prayer which scars on high!
And feeds on bliss beyond the sky!

Northern ports is also on the war programme
The London Observer, the more intimate mouth
piece of the Ministers. declares il would be not
only proper, but easy, 10 cause Mason and Sill
deI' to be delivered to British frigate, anchor
ed IN frqnt of Washington, with twelve other
royal men-ot-war attending as witnesses Of the
humjliating spectacle. The tone Of the Press
generally is violent and sncomprOmisng; and
little hope is expressed that the United States
will make concessions. The London Times,
indeed. declares a war to be sought by Mr.
Seward through this transaction and q remark
said to have been made by Gen. Scott since his
arrival at Paris, is cited as showing the insult
to have been deliberately planned by the Wash
ngtOn Cabinet.
The effect of the war policy of the Govern
ment upon the markets has been striking. The
funds have fallen three per cent; American
securities have fallen sig, and Canadian secu.
rites ten per cent The speculative demand
for cotton has also ceased, in view of the early
opening of the cotton ports resulting from hos
tiIiIies. while breadstuffs have advanced.
In France, the news of the San JGcinto's ak.
POiI has been received with profound sensa-
tlon. The Press is unanimous in its condem.
nation and its opinion is tha, the American
Government will be constrained to make Ispa-
ration. From the tone of articles in what are
understood to be semi-ofical journals, it is in
ferred that France is prepared TO make CON-
mon cause with England, and that the acknowl.
edgment of the South Confederacy, and for.
chile opening of the blockade will be at once
effected, upon the refusal of the American Gov
to make all proper amends. In the |
rumOr dscordant with these asser-
tions obtains currency, namely, that the Emps-
rOr Napoleon had offered his mediation in the
matter. As the moment for such an offer will |
only arrive with the refusal Ofthe United States
to cOneeds the requirements of England, the
rumor is probably premature.
