was to run after her; wouldn't l be
happier when l catclcd her than when

Twas fierce November weather:
But the ship had felt sucha storm before,
And her planks still held together.
And thus, though the bowling tempest SHOW cd
No signs of dmnution,
The passengers said "We'l trust our ship,
The staunch old Constitution -
The captain stood on the quartcr-dcck-
THE seas" he said - they batter us:
Twas my watch below in the former gale

The wind on the one side blows nc off,
The current sets me shorcward:
I'll just lay-to between them both,
And SEEM t, be going forward

% Hard up!' was the first mates oricr;
'She feels the yround-swel, the sscngcrs cried
And the seas already board her =
The forc-sail split in the angry gust;
In the hold tho ballast shifted:
An old tar soid "IfJackson stccrcd

But the captain cried "Ict 60 your hclm!'
And then he called to the DO swain
"pipe all hands to the quartcr-dcck,

The first mate hurled his trump ct down;
The old tars cursed together,
To see the good ship helpless roll
At the sport of wave and weather.

But better now than later, and if it
must come, let us meet it like men.
1t slavery has become too strong for
the Union and if freedom or the Union
must fall, then by all that is sacred let
the Union slide! We will have popu.
lation and territory left amply sufficient
to demonstrate the feasibility of free
institutions, whilst by the connections
that will ensue from secession, slavery
will be numbered with the things that
were, and if our scattered fragments do
not again reunite, we Will have two
happy and prosperous republics on
which the hopes of the patriot may J.:
pend for all coming time.

An Omissions.

The Leesburg Mirror adverts TO an omission in Gen.
Bsaurcgards report of the battle at Bull Run, which
does Injustice to brave company 1t is not presumed
that the injustice was designed. The papers may do
something to correct H. and therefore copy the fol-
10 wing remarks from the Mirror:
1--WE have been led to these observations by reading
the official reports Of Gsns Beauregard and Longstreet,
il regard to the battle Of Bull Run, on the 18th oil July
The report of the former is OF made up In part OF
that of the latter BOTH honorable mention 10 made
of the eaantry displayed that day by Capt aarye,
of the Alexandria Rifles. Far be from us to endeavor
to pluck from the brow Of Capt Msye one bud OF the
chapel thu, woven for him. We doubt not that IL was
we'll won and worthily bestowed Blu! why designate
Opt Mayo to the exclusion Of othersg Side by side
with the Alexandria Rifles In the charge where they won
the laurels SO gracefully acknowledged by the command
log Generals, we're the Loudouu Guard, Captain Head,
VINO, as we learn from those who participated in the
struggle were in the thckcst of the fight throughout
the day. The Loudcuu Guard and the Alexandra Rifles
were the only companies that that day crossed Bull Run
the Raes lost one mau killed. the Guard three severely
wounded; seven prisoners taken in the engage
ment the Guard captured five OF them These are given
facts connected with the work Of the lsh and
surely en,o the boys Of Lou3oun TO sem consi-
deraton- rsany do not the Inference Of the
official reports that they not there. Glory has been

Ro,encr.pz,. Movements.

A letter published In the New York HUald of the
9h and dated the I'd of September states that R,sen'
crsnz left Carksburg the 3lst, had advanced come
forty miles Southwest towards Suttonvile still twenty
miles distant with the intention Of proceeding to Sum-
mersvie, about thirty miles further, the capital Of
Nicholas Summersvie Is some ten miles from GAuley
River-but how far from Gen. Floyds camp not
advised
The Hrads correspondent does not give the force Of
the enemy nor does he expressly state that Roseucrapz
is in command-though such Is the inference. II this
account be true and If General Floyd as reported has
moved towards Summersvle the forces may come upon
each other and by SURPRISE If they are not advised OF
each otl 3 movements ~
In the same Herald of the 9th is the following tee.

General Roserc left previous camp yerterday,
and swept over the mountain in full force. The rebels
are reported as being strong few miles ahead Our
advance pickets fired upon at four miles beyond US
this morning. There will be fight soon. All the In
habitans are frightened and are running away.
P.S.-since the foregoing was written, We have re-

Tim, Constitutional Question

The Charleston Mercury continues the discussion Of
the Presidents proclamation recalling Congress and the
action of that Congress. We publish the Vsrcwys
article.
Il appears that much is involved in the matter
than We had suspected 1t is true Congress only reas
sembled to supply formal defect; but why was any
such bill necessary at s Tha. bill provided for con-
tnuing in force the appon TO Offices made by the
President until the next meeting of Congress That Is,
il is understood to suspend or annul that provision of
the Constitution which requires the advice and consent
of Congress to oil nominations and left the whole mat
ter at the discretion of the Executive. The Mercury
contends and with force that Congress had no cuthor-
ty thus to abdicae its own functions and set aside the
Constitution.
But why were the nominations Of the President
not made to Congress, or, If made, why were they
not acted uponeher conCurred in or rcectec' There
was delir cy somewhere Either the President was
romis or Congress was remiss If both had performed
their duties there would have been occasion whatever
for the bill which trenches the Constitution All the
officers of the Government could have been nominated
aud all nfr,asathe two conditions necessary to con-
stute them legal o6es, except in case of the recess
aud no empowering act of Congress would have been
required
The proceedings OF Congress being secret we know not
where the fault is, aud the Mercury does not lift the
veil, il
Tue Cff.ct Of this action and non-action is this II
the act Of Congress setting aside the Constitution be
null and void three legally no officers OF the army
and navy in the Confe1ate service except those whose
nominations have been confirmed by Congress II that
act be held to be law all the uncoEfrned apprentices OF
tie President occupy the anomalous position of being
bis mere tenants at wLhs creatures, subject to
removal his pleasure. This would be state of the
public service very far removed from the genius OF
fee Govenmert-and oneI none OF our statesmen,
we presume, has melated advised We have hatter-
ed ourselves that could make good our independence
OF the Yankees without sacrificing one ot or title OF
the form or substance OF free institutions We think
the people entitled to official explanation Of this
very curious state of things.

THIS place is Of much Importance to the rebels, and
should in Consequence, be held by Uncle Sam. If We
ony had one light drlught Steamers such az the
o. P,Gs Ycurg AmericI or Ceres, tug boats from
New York ana Which, believe, have been secured by
the Government the entire ialInd navigation OF North
Carolina could ~ stopped also the Quite; for Norfolk.
Toe capturing Of tbis place has struck terror into tho
surrounding ard batteries and all want nov Is
some lght crausht seamers for the inland navigation
This has proved blow in the right direction. On the
hight OF the Lar the enemy burned everything IN the
battery at Oregon inlet that they could not take away
and have gone Roanoke Island to strengthen that POI
s,o1 but light druught steamer would command their
channel and g6ner their fortf ons null On the night
Of the The fortfsaons Ocraeoke Inlet were de-
sroyed by the enemy, aud hsn they made tracks The
sinking OF hulks loaded with stones in the channel at
this place. and then abandoning it after destroying the
iors a., e., Is not, in ny opinion, good one; for
the fact il that the mouth OF the inlet il very wide
that should you stop up the present channel another
would be made, "a the water viii have passage.
This has been regular hotbed for privatecrs. They
would Law aside this inlet and anythng that along
they would run out and capture With steamer and in
few hou they would be safe inside the sound again.
and under the gins Of their battery.
