[ president Lincoln at Trenton.
Pilot, stand drml tho the storm rage around thee,
And the proud drive over the bark,
Tho breakers ahead, and darkness surround thee,
Let hope be the beacon, and truth be thy mark.
Pilot stand nrml Strong may thy nerve be,
Aud steady thy hand while graspng the wheel;
Look aof pilot, the that's above thee I
Shall strengthen thy heart IL clad all in steel.
Pilot, stand frm the good ship has weathered
Many stormy and bosterous sea;
Plant thy foot firmly, and before It has gathered
Strength to o'erwhelm--in the lrbor you'n be.
Pilot, stand frml true hearts are all round thee,
Ready to do whatsoer you demand;
Braving all danger so long as they see,
The pilot stand firm, and give the command.
Piloil thy voice midst the storms loudest peal,
Thrills millions of hearts looking out from she strand
For the proud Ship Of State with you at the wheel,
Holds all that is dear to our loved, native land.

And you the last potwe ever should know.

Aid and Comfor1 for .ho Enemy.

The manifest of vessel cleared at this
port for Charleston, presents curious ar
ray Of commodities, both useful and orna-
mental, for the people Of that truant city.
The quantity Of provisions is such as to re-
move all doubt of an immediate famine
among the secessionists, and their variety
would indicate determination on tho part
Of the chivalry to fare sumptuously every
day, regardless Of expense. The cargo in
question consists Of -four bacon, beef, and
pork, butter, apples, mscaroni, tea, sugar,
coffee, onions, potatoes, hams, pepper, and
other provisions, with prodigious list of
miscellaneous articles, such as road scrapers,
powder, brooms, soap, trunks, oil, starch,
glass, furniture, schnapps, cider, ale, nails,
leather, and one rockaway carriage, prob
Iably for Governor Piekens. We do not per-
ceive any consignment to Major Anderson,
Iyet it is not likely that the vessel will be
subject to the treatment shown the Star Of
the West. We hope such will not be the
case, and that the seeessionists may CON
tinue to practice the pleasant science Of
gastronomy to their stomachs' content, even
it they have to send to New York for edi-
bles. Our markets are laden with proyis-
ions Of every kind, and the prices cannot
dspease the most fastidious Southron.
We presume an unusual quantity Of sup
plies is now ordered by the South in view
of the tariff to be imposed by the "Confed-
crate States Of America" upon all Northern
goods sent to Southern ports on and after
the 4th Of March ensuing. Spoford, Tile
ston q CO., of the steamboat line, give no,
tice of the fact,--N Y. Post. FEB. 20.

Nations have sighed for thee,
Our sircs have died for thee,
Wen all be true to thee

Ride on in majesty glorious in power
Though fierce the blast may be,
No wreck shall shatter thee
Storms shall but bring to thee . ......

A correspondent of the N. Y. Time

A correspondent of the N. Y. Tines
writing from Canton, gives the following
account Of Chinese trials aud executions:
At Pun-yon chief magistrate was pre-
siding over court Of justice, and large
number of criminals were ARA gned before
it, for robbery, piracy, theft, ect. Several
were tried whilst we were there. The
criminal was obliged to knee in front of
this officer, on the stone floor, with his feet
and hands chained; if he refused to answer
any question, he was severely struck upon
the mouth with q piece OF board, 10y man
who was standing near b. for that purpose,
and if this failed to bring him to bis senses,
he was strung up by his pig-taiI, great toes,
and thumbs, his knees made to rest on iron
chains, and kept in this position till his
tongue hung out, aud his thumbs and toes
were black and blue. There was over a
dozen to be tied, but a sight Of two or three
was enough for us. Some of them was ex-
ecuted the following morning, by having
their heads cut off. The prisoner stands
with his hands tied behind him, and his
head bent little forward, just enough for
the eXccutioner to sever the head from the
body at one blow, when he kicks the head
into one corner and pitches the body into
another, streams of blood issuing from both,
as water from watcringcan, and by

Ethan spikes Plan Of Compromise.

Ethan Spike, the regular successor to
Major Downing, has issued his plan Of fconi-
promise, which he proposes to send TO
Washington by the Courier. The esential
items OF he plan are: "The removal ofthe
Missouri line as far North as the St. Law
renee river, all South Of that to be devoted
to slavery; declaration by the Rcpubli-
cans that they are sorry they elected Lin
coin and are willing to be forgiven; the
public burning of the Chicago platform, and
such portions of the Bible as seem to con-
fict with slavery; the removal Of Bunker
| Hill Monument to South Carolina; the i'm

Northern States; the perpetual banishment
of Garrison, Phillips, Abby Folsom, Daniel
Pratt, Mrs. Bloomer, and Caleb Cushing,tc

tuted; Howell Cobb to be proclaimed Pres
ident and Gov. Floyd Secretary Of the
Treasury; only two newspapers to be allow

Of Iverson, JEFF. Davis and Yancey, shall be
set up in the market places of the more re-
bellious Northern cities, and every person
refusing obedience shall have his nose flat
tened, painted black and sold into slavery.
If after this liberal offer our Southern breth-
ern shall continue eontumacious and insist
upon cutting our throats, then in the spirit
of '76, let us rouse in our strength and--run
away"

rFrom The Galveston Crexas) News.l

Ihe hHtRntS OF the OOiQeH Clrcies
This much talked of and little understood
institution, is purely southern. It is based
upon the principle that slavery was recog-
nized by divine authority; that it is fraught
with all the elements of social, and political
good to the negro; that it conduces to the
best interests of the South. Ii shows an
outlet of serviceable nature to the South
and to the free negroes, for the peaceful
migration and settlement Of the latter class
of our population.
1t holds that the star of empire is south
ward; it would preserve to the South from
abolitiomsm all lands that may be needed
for the spread of her system of labor; it
would anticipate black republicanism in the
amicable AUGMENTATION ofMexico and Cen
Itral Amcrica-aff ffiliating with their people,
and aiding them to throw off the oppression
and regulate the arnarchy that have stop
ped their legitimate progress.
To extend the southern social, moral and
political system over all the broad lands
that environ the Gulf of Mexico, and which
would give us the control of all that remains
of the cotton, sugar. tobacco, rice and coffee
soil of the continent, besides placing us in
possession of the worlds richest store-house
of mineral wealth-this is of itself an OBJ
lection worthy of every true southern mans
mature reflection.
It is a defensive policy, too, that events
are rapidly bringing mp for discussion and
adoption and an efficient, wide spread organ
ization that prepares the way for such a
policy will necessarily command the serious
consideration ofth South. Many of her
best men are participants in it, and they
will not be likely to prevert its patriotic
purposes.
