GRAND jury ON THE UNION CRlsIs.-The
late Grand Jury, in the capacity Oft delibe-
rative body, called together by the judiciary
of our land for the purpose of investigating
and reporting crime in all its subtle forms,
feel themselves justified by the exigency of
the times, in stepping aside from their pecu-
liar province as a jury, and raising their
voice, feeble though it may be, against the
attempts that have been made and are now
being made, to tear assunder and destroy the
Government which our fathers made and de-
livered to us, sealed with their blood And
believing the presence of great events demand
the out-spoken sentiments of free and eD.
lightened people-therefore we most un-
qualiiiedly denounce all attempts to break
up, dismember or destroy the Union of these

THouGHTs FOR YOUNG MEN-Costly appa-
ratus and splendid cabinets have no magical
power to make scholars In all circumstances,
as a man is, under God, the master of his own
fortune, so is he the maker of his own mind.
The Creator has so constituted the human in
tellect that it can grow only 6y its own ac-
tion, and by its own action it must certainly
and necessarily grow. Every man must
therefore in an importont sense, educate him
self His books and teachers are but helps
the work is his. A man is not educated nm
til he Inns the ability to summon, in case of
emergency, all his mental power in vigorous
exercise to effect his proposed object. 1t is
not the man who has seen most or who has
read most, who can do this such an one is in
danger of being borne down, like beast OF
burden, by an overloaded mass Of other mems
thoughts Nor is it the man that can boast
merely of native vigor and capacity The
greatest of all warriors that went TO the
siege of Troy, had not the pre- eminence, be-
cause nature haG given him strength, and he
carried the largest bow, but because self
discipline had taught him how to use it.

L. STARR KING ON WAsnlNGroN.-This elo-
quent divine delivered a lecture, at San
Francisco, on the Life and character of
Washington" on the evening of Friday, a
portion of which was reported for the Union.
We give the following extract:
In the Whisky Rebellion in Pennsylvania,
Washington set an example of the mode of
dealing with notification and treason The
tax on whisky interfered with the domestic
institutions aud tastes of western Pennsvlva-
mia, and seven thousand nulfers rose in
arms. The United States officers were re-
sisted, and blood was shed. Even an attack
upon United States fort was projected, but
a fore-runner of Major Anderson was there,
and the attack was not made. Houses were
burned mails Were riHed, Government dis
patches were intercepted forced loans were
ievied, property was confscated, and all
these things happened seventy years ago.
pennsylvania said force must not be used, il
was too dangerous; that the central counties
would not allow troops to pass through them
that the rebellious counties were able to take
care OF themselves, and it was even animated
that The insurgents would send an envoy TO
England, and march upon the Federal Capi-
tai. Every letter OF this was history, seventy

IHE FBAG OF THE FREE.-Hon. Edward
Stanly opened his speech at the Union Meet
ing at San Francisco, with the observation
that the American flag was floating in the
breeze on every hand, and broke forth into
the apostrophe of the poet:
Flag of the free hearts only home
BY angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin DOME
And all thy hues were born in Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet,
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedom banner streaming Ger u.s."
Let US give the entire piece, that it may
stir our pulses, even in these degenerate days
1t was Drake who wrote it, few lines being
added by Halleek:
When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurl'd her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrc of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white,
With streakings from the morning light
Then, from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land
Majestic monarch of the cloud
Who rear'st aoft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumping loud
And see the lightning lances driven.
When strides the warrior Of the storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven
Child OF the sun to thee t is given
To guard the banner of the free
To hover in the lphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine aiar,
Like ranbows on the cloud of war;
The harbinger of victory!
Flag of the brave thy folds shall flv,
The sign of hope and triumph high
When speaks the signal-trumpet's tone
And the long line comes cleaning on;
Ere yet the hfe-blood warm and wet
Has dimmd the glistenng bayonet--
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn,
10 where thy meteor glories burn,
And as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance!
And when the cannon's mouthlngs loud,
Heave in wild wreaths the battle-shroud,
And CORY sabreS rise and fall,
Like shoots of flame on midnight pail
There shall thy victor glances glow,
And covering foes shall fall beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger Of death
Flag of the seas on oceans wave,
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave,
When death, careerng on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the swelling sail,
And irghted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack;
The dying wanderer Of the
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly,
In triumph Ger the closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts only home,
BY angel hands to valor given!
Thy stars have lit the welkln dome
And all thy hues were born in heaven!
For ever float that standard sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With freedoms soil beneath our feet
And freedoms banner streaming oer us

A SoUTHERNER ON SECESSION. .-Sherrard
Clemens of Virginia, said in his late speech
in Congress: I'VE are in the midst of great
events. We are making history. We may
be in the dying days of this Republic; and
should undo my deeds, should unknow my
knowledge, before would as the traveller in
the Alps utter, even in whisper, one word
which might bring down the avalanche upon
the quiet homes of my people | would speak
as Southern man, identified by birth, by
education, by residence, by interest, by prop.
erty, by Affection with her population. Sir,
on bayou of the Mississippi reposes now III
quiet the inheritance of my children-an in
heritance which, even in slaves, amounts to
one half of the whole number in all the elev-
en- counties which compose my Congressional
District in Virginia. | would speak as a
Western Nirgnian, and as the custodian of
the property of those children, who are not
old enough to know the peril to which it is
exposed 10y those who are riding on the very
crest of the popular wave, but who are yet
destined to sink in the very trough of the
sea, to a depth so unfathomable that bub-
ble will never rise to mark the spot where
they went so ignominiously down. Well
may those who have inaugurated the revolu-
tion which is now stalking over the land, cry
out, with uplifted hands, for peace, and de-
precate the etfusion of blood. It was the
inventor of the guilotine who was its first
unresising victim; and the day may not be
far off before we may find those among our
own people who will be compelled to rely
upon the magnanmity of the very popula-
tion they have outraged and deceived The
authors ofrevoution have often been their
victims"

Music OF THE CALLIopE.-An amusing Incl
dent occurred on board small river steamer
recently, in which one of our San Juaners ac-
ted part. The gentleman alluded to, hat
been to San Francisco, and was returning tc
his home at this place At Sacramento h,
took passage on the Star Of the West" fol
Marysvlle, where the steamer arrived in the
night Now, this steamer is provided with q
calliope, or musical organ, played by steam
The gentleman had retired to his state room
intending to remain on board till daylight
During his slumbers, which were crowded
with pleasant dreams of the Bay City and its
numerous places of social enjoyment, the
calliope was set in motion, which broke dis
cordantly in upon his somnambulic imagin-
ings. lie fancied himself set upon by the
hurdy-gurdy girls, and being partially a.
reused, called out to them in language more
forcible than polite, to desist, or he would
report them as a nuisance. AS no heed was
given to his request, he sprang out of bed
and ran into the cabin to enforce the order
when, 10 and behold he found himself on
board the steamer at the Marysyille landing,
instead of at San Francisco, according to the
tenor Of his delightful vision! What the
hurdy -gurdy girls had to do with the music
of the calliope, and how the gentleman came
to mingle them in his dreams, we leave for
others to imagine.-San Juan Press.
