Signs of the Times,

On Monday last, The Black Republican ma.
jorty in the House OF Representatives refused,
by a vote of 50 TO rs, to suspend the rules for
the purpose of introducing the resolutions
adopted by the Border States Committee of
Conference. Immediately after, the same
House, by a vote of 1874 TO 50, suspended the
rules tor the admiss sion. of a resolution ap-
proving the "bold and patriotic" act of Maj
ANDERSON in occupying Fort Sumter, and
the resolution was adopted-ayes 124, nays Sc.
The universal firing Of guns in the Black
Republican cities over Major ANDERsoN's
movement is nother significant Circumstance.
Whilst Major ANDERSON is Ddoubtedly a
gallant and skillful officer, it is difficult to
find anything very brilliant or dashing in
transporting fifty troops at night from one
fort to another, in the same harbor, ard with
no enemy in possession to dispute the land
ing There was nothing to prevent his cap
turing Fort Sum ter, except that which had
prevented the Carolinians from attacking it
viz: the agreement of the two governments
that the military status of the harbor should
remain unchanged till negotiations were con-
cluded. Yet, as much exultation is manifest
ed over Major ANDBRsoN's walking into Fort
Sum ter as if it had been manned by power
full force, and he had taken it by storm. That
insidious Republican sheet, the New York
World, nomi mates him for the Presidency

OUR ORDERS.

Weave no more silks, We Lyons looms,
To deck our girls for gay delights;
The crimson flower Of battle blooms,
And solemn marches fill the nights.
Weave but the flag whose bars to-day
Dropped heavy o er our early dead,
And nonely garments. coarse and gray.
For orphans that must earn their bread
Keep back your tunes, We viols sweet.
That pour delight from other lands
Rouse there the dancer restless feet
The trumpet leads our warrior bands.
And ye that wage the war Of words
With mystic fame and subtle power,
Go chatter to the idle birds,
~ Or teach the lesson Of the hour!
Ye sihyl Arts, in one stern knot
Be all your ofSees confined!
Stand close, while Courage draws the lot,
The destiny of human Shsd!
And if that destiny could fail,
The sun should darken in the sky,
The eternal bloom o. nature pale,
And God, and Truth. and Freedom die,
