The following eloquen, tribute tn the
"Star Srangled Banner" was given by
the Hon. Joseph Holt, recently, :: y
speech delivered in Kentucky:
LIE: u. then Irvine each thread Of the
glorious tissue Of our countrys dag
about our heart-siriagA and hooking
upon our homes and catching the spir-
it that breathes upon us from the bat
tle-fieIis of our fathers, Let Us resolve
that come wea! or woe, We will, in life
and in death, now and forever. stand
by the Stan and Stripes. They have
noated over our cradles, let it be our
prayer aud struggle that they shall float
overour graves. They have been unfurl-
cd from thesnows Of Canada 10 the plains
o. New Orleans, and to the Halls of
the Montezumas, and amid the solitude
If every sea. and everw here, Is the lu
miuous symbol Of irresistible power.
they have led the brave to victory and
TO glory. 1t has been INV fortune to
look upon this flag in forei On lands,
and amid the gloom of an oriental des-
potism. aud right well do ] know by
contrast. how bright are its. stars. and
how sublime are its impressions. II
this banner. the emblem Of US. of all
that is Transporting in human hope. Is
to be sacrificed on the affairs of a Satan
ic ambition, and thus disappear forev-
or amid the night and tempest Of revo-
luton, then will / feel-and who shall
estimate the desolatiOn of that feeling
that the sun has indeed been stricken
from the sky of our lives, and that
hcncefortl we shall be but wanderers
and outcasts with nought bnt the bread
of SORROWS and of penury for our lips,
and with hands ever outstretchcd in
Sseblcness and supplication, on which,
in any hour, military tyrant may riv-
ct the letters of despairing bondage.
May God, in his infinite mercy, save You
and me, and the land we so much love,
from the doom ofsuch degradation.

the following:
A gentleman OF this city who left
New Orleans a week or two since, says
that he took passage for st. Louis in a
steamer full of passengers. At first
nothing was heard but secession senti-
ments, andone would have supposed that
the feeling was universal, but after a
portion Of those on board had been
landed at and below Memphis, the Un-
ion men, before silent, began to declare
their opinions, waxing louder and loud
.er as each degree of latitude was passed,
until at last, as the region Of Northern
Kentucky and the free State above was
reached, it swelled into such unanimity
as to exceed even the secession triumph
of the early period Of the trip, Itneeds
but lifting away of the reign of ter
ror to emancipate the South from the
rebels who now dOmineer over them.

YOUNG BoNApARrE.-The Paris corrc-
spondent, "MalakoE," of the New
York Times, some days since, stated
that the Southern Commissioners in
Paris had offered to make Capt. Bona
parte Dictator Of their Confederacy.
The following extract from a private
letter written by an American who has
resided in Paris for some years, which
is published in the Boston Transcript,
confirms the story:
Madame Bonapartc told me the
other day, that one day at dinner.
Faulkner, the American Minister, said
to her, Many ofu ardently wish to
see yonr grandson our Emperor.
Respect for the gentleman at whose ta-
BILE she was dining, alone prevented
her from saying aloud" Mr.. Faulkner,
although his family has seen
evil days, although one member of it
was bigamist, and another q rogue,
yet thank God, it has never yet had a
traitor!'"'. e1en.t.

Darlington. "Why, ma'am," replied
the doctor, "you perceive that when
the nocturnal hour is so far procrastina-
ted by a superabundant application of
oleagineous acidulous, piparine, mus

'crustaceo piscatory salad aud it's vinous
and alcoholic accidents, an undue ex-
pansion Of the stomachic integument
ensues, which in the progress of its
constipation influences, stigmatises the
cerebral functions, confi,ses the
nerve-optic systcm, and gives scope
to the horrors!''
