POWER OF THE SOUTH TO PROTECT HER.
SELF-IN MEN, POSITION, AND AGRICUL-
TURAL WEALTH.
What rejecting man can doubt the abundant
ability of the South to protect herself and to at
tain power which will cause her to be respected
among the foremost nations of the earth?
The eight seeding States alone, possess terrific
ry more than three times great as France, more
than sac times as large as Prussia, and nearly sic
times as large as England, Scotland and Ireland
put together; while the alliance of the other
Southern and border States, would increase the
territorial extent of the Southern Confederacy
more than one-third. Can a country like
this, occupied by a people who from their
childhood have been accustomed to the most
manly exercise, and the free use of freaams-bold,
hardy, restive under unlawful control-and num-
berng within its borders 1,s00, 900 men capable of
bearing arms, and who, with a few weeks warning,
could be marshalled at every assailabe point in
bands of 50,0 600 and 100, ,000-can, | saw, such a
country, and so peopled, be overcome by any for
eign foe? The idea is simply absurd.
Next: Consider her compactness within her
boundaries; her inexhaustbe resources in money,
and all other materials toward providing the ap-
piances of war; and her capacity, arising from
these circumstances, of resisting, or punishing if
necessary, all aggression upon her rights With
agricultural productions the most valuable in the
world, and which make them the objects of envy to
every manufacturing and commercial people, and
her friendship and alliance to be sought after by
every civilized nation, she holds in her hands the
very best bonds which they can give to "keep the
peace" with her.

HEALTH ACCORDING TO AN OLD AUTHoRITY.-You
that have health, and know not how to prize it, I'll
tell you what it is. Health is that which makes
your meat and your drink savory AID pleasant
Health is that which makes your bed easy, and
your sleep refreshing, revives your strength with
the rising sun and makes you cheerful at the light
OF another day. TITS that which makes your body
plump and comely and arrays you in natures rich
est attire adorning your face with its choicest col
or. lis that which makes exercise sport, and
walking abroad the enjoyment of your iiberty.-
It's that which makes fertile and increases the nat

which makes the soul take delight in her mansion,

It's that which makes pleasure to be pleasure and

A MocKING BIRD.-A circumstance has lately oc-
Cured in this city which for ''mockery" outdoes
all that before heard of one OF those famous
birds whose mellifuous notes pervade the groves
and mock all other songsters. One of these birds
Matched last year in the month of June, and there
fore well qualified to take up and carry on the
joeund song which ever celebrates the bright days
of the young summer, was sent from the South to
lady and gentleman in this city. In due time it
began to warble low melody which this spring
seemed about to burst forth in a great gush of
song, but few days ago it seemed rather unwell
and to the amazement of the lady and gentleman
who own it, laid down, not its life, but an egg
Everybody had supposed it to be a male, and even
now it Whistles just like young one of that gen.
der. This is the first time we have heard OF a
mocking- bird laying in cage; and had this young
thing had male with her, and proper materials
and conveniences for making a nest, she might,
perhaps, have bred in confinement The egg was
| pale blue, with thick cluster of reddish brown
specks on the larger end. Since this was written
the bird has laid another egg.-N. Y. Spirit.

About two O'Clock yesterday afternoon two men,
whose names we were unable to learn, were taken
in charge by the police officers, who had been
watching them for the past day or two, upon the
charge of being spies, it being supposed that they
were correspondents from one of the Northern ci-
ties. They were taken to the Middle station-house
and confined for several hours, when a gentleman
OF this city made his appearance and stated that
they were travelling through the city, and were
desirous of departing Immediately. Considerable
excitement was produced by the arrest among the
military, it being rumored that one of the individ-
uas was captain of company of the first body
of Pennsylvania volunteers who passed throu gh

Many reports have been circulated throughout
the city in relation to the reinforcement of Fort
McHenry with several hundred troops, but from
what we have been able to learn, there have been
but few, if any, soldiers thrown into the Fort. We
have conversed with gentleman who was in the
Fort on Sunday last, who states that large uuant-
ties of arms and ammunition are piled throughout
the buildings, but he did not see over 800 men
throughout the whole fortifcation.
A PRECAUTIONARY MOVEMENT.
Owing to the demonstrations made by some of
our people, who seemed determined to arm them
selves at all hazards, the Marshal yesterday issued
the following notice, which was posted throughout
the city:

The entire square on Holiday street, between
Saratoga and Lexington, as is well known, has
been guarded for the past three days by officers
and soldiers, number of cannon having been
placed in the street, and also large number of
smal-arms. In the office of the Marshal of Police
the most amusing scenes happen hourly. Crowds
OF citizens who are continually passing to and fro
not unfrequently become very indignant at the
idea of being stopped By the guards and compelled
to retire.
