The stocking.

BY the fireside costly seated,
With spectacles riding her nose,
The lively old lady is knitting ~
A wonderful pair of hose.
She pities the shivering soldier
Who is out in the pelting storm, 9
And busily plies her needles ii
To keep him hearty and warm. sa
Her eyes are reading the embers,
But her heart is of to the war,
For she knows what those brave fellows
Are gallantly fighting for.
Her fingers as well as her fancy
Are cheering them on their way,
Who, under the good old banner,
Are saving their country to-day. rff
She ponders how in childhood
Her grandmother used to tell
The story of barefoot soldiers
Who fought so long and we'll;
And the men of the Revolution
Are nearer to her than us,
And that, perhaps, is the reason
why she IS tolling thus.
She cannot shoulder musket,
Nor ride with the cavalry crew,
But nevertheless she is ready
To work for the boys who do.
And yet in official dispatches
That come from the army or feet,
Her feats may have never a notice
Though ever so mighty the feet!
So prithee, proud owner of muscle,
Or purse-proud owner of stocks,
Don't sneer at the labors of women,
Or smile at her bundle of socks.
Her heart may be larger and braver
Than his who is tallest of all;
The work of her hands as important
As cash that buys powder aud ball.
And thus while her quiet performance
Is being recorded in rhyme,
The tools in her tremulous fingers
Are running a race with time.
Strange that four needles can form
A perfect triangular bound
And equally strange that their antics
Result in perfecting "t the round"
And now, while beginning ito narrow"
She thinks of the Maryland mud,
And wonders if ever the stocking
Will wade to the ankle in blood.
And now she is "shaping the heel,'
And now she is ready ''to bind"
And hopes, if the soldier is wounded,
1t never will be from behind.
And now she is /" raising the instep,"
Now narrowing off at the toe,"
And prays that this end of the worsted
May ever be turned to the foe.
She gathers" the last of the stitches,
As if new laurel was won,
And placing the ball in the basket
Announces the stocking as "done."
Ye men who are fighting our battles,
Away from the comforts of life,
Who thoughtfully muse, by your camp fires,
On sweetheart, or sister, or wife
just think of their elders a little,
And pray for their grandmothers, too,
Who, patiently sitting in corners,
Are knitting the stockings for you.

From ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Message.

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-The lower House of the Legis.
lature completed its organization this morning. by
re-electing all the old officers except Speaker pro
TEN. Harris being elected over Boyd. The Cover
nor's message delivered to both Houses this
morning, after which, the House went into secret
session. Governor Jackson says the President in
calling out troops to subdue the seeded States has
threatened civil war; and his act is unconstitutional
and Illegal and tending towards a consolidated
despotism, while he evidently justiies the
action of the Confederate States in seeding He
does not recommend immediate secession, but holds
the following language: Our interests and sympa-
thies are identical with those of the slaveholding
States and necessarily unite destiny with theirs.
The similarity of social and political institutions
industrial interests, sympathies, habits, our
common origin, and territorial contiguity, all con-
in pointing out duty in regard the separa-
ton taking place between the States of the old
Federal Union. He further adds. Missouri has at
this time no war to prosecute 1t is not her policy
to make a war of aggression on any State or peo-
ple but in the present state of the country she must
be faithless to her honor, recreant to her duty,
were she to hesitate moment in making the most
ample preparations for the protection of her peo-
pie against aggression from all assalants there
fore recommend an appropriation of a sufficient
sum of money to place the State at the earliest prac
tcable moment in 4 complete state of defence.
| In conclusion, the Governor says Permit me to
appeal to you and through you to the whole people
of the State TO whom we are all responsible to do
nothing imprudently or precipitately. We have a
most solemn duty TO perform. Let us then calmly
reason, with another. avoid all passion all ten
| dency to tumult and disorder obey implicitly the
| law and constituted authorities and endeavor to
unite all our citizens cordial cooperation for the
preservation of eur honor, the security of proper
ty and the performance of all those high duties inn
posed upon US by our obligations to our families,
| our country and our God"

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Frpm private information,
believed to be reliable, it is ascertaned that Vr-
gnia herself does not mediate an attack on Wash
ingon; that subject being for the consideration of
the Confederate States. The throwing of troops
into Virginia is said be in anticipation of decla-
ration OF by President Davis Congress, as it is
expected that the gathering in Washington is ulti-
mately intended to invade the South.
A despatch from Raleigh says the Legislature
met yesterday. The Governor has organic I'd camp
of instruction at Raleigh. He says the Northern
Government is now concentrating large force in
the District of Columbia, ostensbly to protect the
seat of Government, but such force cannot be
permitted to remain within the limits of MARYLAND
or the borders of Virginia without seriously en-
dsngering the liberty of the people of those States
If they be conquered and overrun, we will be the
next prey of the invaders. Policy, then, well as
sympathy and feeling of brotherhood enjoins as
well as a common interest requires u.s. to exert our
energies in defence of Maryland and Virginia. EV.
cry battle fought then will be battle fought in be-
half of North Carolina and there our troops should
be speedily sent.
An application has just been made by some of the
diplomatic corps at the State Department and the
following points were ascertained:
!. Vessels in the blockaded ports when the block
ade took effect will be allowed reasonable time to
depart.
2. Vessels bringing emigrants, though they had
no notice of the blockade at the time of their de-
parture will not be allowed to enter the blocksded
ports; that class of persons coming to the United
States chiefly to settle in the upper States of the
Mississippi liver, and it will be better for them to
enter an open port than encounter the dangers Incl
dent to the insurrectiOn.

GENTLEMEN: must confess that / cannot COM
mand language sufficient to express the gratitude OF
my heart for the honor this day conferred upon ne
by the devoted friends of Southern rights through
you their representative for the occs SION THIS me-
mento or token of your high regard, am admon-
ished is conferred upon me for my bold defence OF
our rights as citizens of the South, and for taking
an early stand and doing all that could do, in my
humble and feeble way, for Tennessee taxing her
natural position with her Southern sisters OF the
South, in the formation of Southern Confederacy.
Sirs when first unfurled my banner to the breeze
for the rights of Tennessee, there could only be
found in my county some eight or ten individuals
who, with myself openly defended the right of
revolution; but now, thanks to the Ruler of all
things, the little cloud which at first ap-
peared no larger than a mans hand,
has now swelled its proportions to for
midable party which bids defiance to ABRAHAM LIN
coin and his allies. The memento that you this day
have bestowed upon me, will be cherished to my
latest hour with the fondest recollection. And can
assure you, gentlemen, though am but an humble
citizen, acting in the capacity of editor, that
every stroke of my pen shall be in favor Of
stitutonal rights, and speedy dissolution from the
Abolition States of the North and for an immediate
admittance into the Southern Confederacy Believ-
ing that only last hope of perpetuating con-
stitutional liberty and independence, contem-
plated by the patriotic sres of the revolution, hangs
upon a united and determined resistance to the
armed myrmidons of the North, under the military
despotism of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the usurper, and
his sympathisers, again accept my thanks,
H. G. ROBERTSON.

FREDERICK Nd, May 5.-The following is an ex-
tract of the report of the Committee Federal Re-
latiOns to the Assembly on the subject Of cOmmu-
nication from the Mayor of Baltimore relative to
the restoration of railroad communication between
Baltimore and other points.
The committee conceded the interruption of travel
to be aggravated evil but if facilities for inva-
sisn offered to fanatic2l and excited multtudes
from the North who publicly threaten our destruc-
tion it could be hardly consistent with prudence TO
reopen their channels of intercourse with the North
ern States They cannot be efficiently re-establish-
ed without guarantees from some quarter for the
safety of the peace of Maryland. The report ami
madyerts upon the course of the Federal Govern
ment in stationing troops at Annapolis and Selling
the road to Washington and considers such course
as being treated conquered province, and it is
therefore the duty of the Legislature to ascertain
the position which the Federal Government is de-
termined to occupy towards this State.
The committee conclude with the following reso
luton:
That commissioners be appointed to confer with
President Lincoln with regard to the present and
any proposed military use and occupation of the
State by the General Government, and also to as
certain and report whether any arrangements are
practicable for the maintenance of the peace and
honor of Maryland. Adopted by both the Senate
and House.
