The Star Spangled Banner.

o say can you sec, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's
last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through
the pcrious fight,
Der the ramparts we watched, were so gal
lantly streaming
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting
in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was
still there;
0 say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet
wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
On that shore, dimly seen through the mists of
tae deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread 81
lence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, DER the tower
ing steep,
AS it fitfuly blows, now conceas, now dis
closes
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings first
beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream.
'Tis the Star Spangled Banner 0 long may it
wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
That the havoc OF war, and the battles con-
fusion,
A home and Il country should leave us no
more;
Their blood has washed out their foul foot
steps pollution
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the
grave;
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph doth
wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
O thus he it ever, when frecmen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the wars des-
olation
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-
rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and prescrv-
ed us II nation
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is
just,
And this be our motto, :" In God is our trust :"
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall
wave
Der the land Of the free and the home of tho
brave

the regular channel, where they arrived
at O'Clock in the morning.
When the boat touched her landing
Capt Stokes, fearing pursuit by two or
three of the secession military compan-
les, by which the city of ST. Louis is
disgraced, ran to the Market House and
rang the fre-bell. The citizens came
flocking pell NELL to the river in all sorts
of habiliments. Capt. Stokes informed
them Of the situation of things, and
pointed out the freight cars. Instantly
men women and children boarded the
steamer, seized the freight and Chamber
ed up the levee to the cars. Rich and
poor tugged together with might and
main for two hours, when the cargo was
all deposited in the cars, and the train
moved off amid their enthusiastic cheers
for Springfield.
When Capt. Stokes reached this city,
he was so exhausted by sixty hours of
incessant labor and excitement, that he
fell asleep while endeavoring to recount
his adventure to Judge Trumbull. Sc
cession has now received its fatal blow
not only in st. Louis, but throughout
Missouri
When it became known that the arms
were gone, the St. Louis Republican be-
gan to preach peace and neutrality, the
minute men ceased brawling for Jeff.
Davis in the streets, and Gov. Jackson
began to advise against calling the State
Convention together.
While Capt. Stokes was taking the
arms. the Secessionists were planning to
capture the Government powder house
about mile below. 1t is reported here
that they had seized it before they be-
came aware that the arsenal was empt-
led.

EDITOR OF GUARDIAN

EDITOR OF GUARDIAN:
Tarrying a day in your beautiful
thrifty city on business. attended the
meeting held at the Court House on
Wednesday night for the purpose of as.
certaining the feeling of the people in
regard to the organization of military
company. Many of the speeches made
were proper, and up to the times-or
as near as we should expect to find them
at point so remote from the exciting
centres. But with your permission, ]
would say word in reply to the remarks
made by Mr.. Moore
He thinks there is too much feeling in
the North against the South-too much
hatred; and intimates that the North is
unduly excited. He cloves the whole
country--the South as well as the
North" &c.
