When the tempest dies
Der the cloudy skies,
And from crag to erag the frantic thundeTs ride;
When the lightning stroke
Has destroyed the oak,
Safely down below the little viOlets hide.

When the proud are falling,
Little men can rest, or watch unheeded by;
Flow, ye storms Of Fate,
On the rich and great,
pm but little Nobody-NObody am l.
Pebbles on the shore

But the mighty ships, deep-laden In the hold,
With thousand men,

And the poor and lowly

Kings may wake 10 weep,
While their plowmen sleep;

HAAAAN
A Virginia Congressman writes
10 a friend in Cincinnati, that when
General Scott was asked in Cabinet
Council his opinion in relation to
the reinforcing Of Fort SUMTER, he
replied substantially rs foIIows:-
That it would take an army Of
from ten thousand to fifteen thou
sand men, with all the disposable
navy Of the United States. 1t would
inaugura;e,' he continued, ~ gen.
cral civil war OH u large scale, for
even if the Border Slave States did
not seccde, thousands oftheir young
and active men would join the army
of the Contederated States"
Before reinforcing Fort Sumter
it would be necessary, in his opin-
ion, to establish acampnear WASH
ington Of from twenty-five thou
sand to thirty thousand men, to
maintain possession Of it against
violence from the adjoining slave
States. lie was convinced that,
under the circumstances, it was
madness to think Of coercion. The
old hcro's counsel prevailed, and il
was determined to cvacuate Fort
Sumter. lie further expressed his
belief that the first year ofcivil wal
would cost y hundred million dol
lars, together with an army of one
hundred thousand men. How mel
