OuR BRAVE CoMMoDoRE.-Commodore
Tattnall has, without intending it as such, set
the men of the South an example which all
should seek to initiate, viz: whether weak or
strong, meet the enemy at the very threshold
and show him that you are resolved to dis
putc every inch Of Southern ground, and
drive him back or perish in the attempt. The
commodore, with his little river feet, did not
wait for IN attack, but went out to meet the
enemy in all their pomp and power. He threw
his scornlull and defiant shot into the teeth
Of their vast expedition and when they met
him, not on equal terms, but with repeated
broadsidcs from their largest ships, he showed
his appreciation of their gallantry and man
hood by dipping his lag in irony, as much
rs to say, your achievement is worthy of hon,
or, and here you have it! 1t was terrible
sarcasm, ingeuiously yet forcibly expressed.
Let every Southern man, throughout this
war, initiate the conduct of our gallant COM
modore, and prove his devotion to the cause
by meeting the enemy at every step of his
progress, and if no better can be had, on his
own ierms.-Savannah Republican.

The Capture of our Commissioners.
OF the effect of this measure OF the Lin
coin Government, the Charleston Mercury

OF the effect Of this measure Of the Lin
coin Government, the Charleston Mercury
says:
With the seizure of Mason and Slidell, in
its relation to the neutral rights Of the Brit
ish Government. we have no direct concern.
There are, however, certain we'll established
principles of public law, to which the present
case will necessarily be referred, and from
these, we may anticipate the views of the
English jurists in regard to its merits.
The highest legal authorities unite in pro-
nouncing dispatches the worst kind of con-
traband." They consider the transmission Of
dispatch abroad as capable Of comforting
greater advantages upon belligeren than
the introduction of any cargo forbidden by
the laws of war. A distinction, however, is
drawn between dispatches coming to, and
those going from the bclligerent. The former
aredeemed to partake Of peaceful character
of the neutral nation from which they come;
the latter are presumed to be Of a warlike
import, and subject the neutral vessel carry
ing them to capture and condemnation. Such
being the law, the analogy between the con-
traband letter, or dispatch, and the person
bearing it, seems plain. The Embassador.
whether he carries his communication in
writing or in his memory, is the substitute
for the dispatch. and would seem to become,
like it, liable to capture.
But we arc not left to form this conclusion
from analogy alone. Strangely enough, al
though the present case is one quite novel in
its circumstances, distinguished English
Judge has given an opinion directly bearing
upon it. In the case of the Caroline eng
lish Admiralty Reportsl, Sir William Scott,
in defining the rights of belligerents in re-
spect to neutral vessels, says with singular
terseness, "You may stop the ambassador
of your enemy on his passage" Certainly,
nothing could be more distinct. or more di-
rectly applicable to the case of Messrs. Ma
SON and Slidell.
Disagreeahle as it is, we cannot resist the
inference, that the English Government will
decline any interference in behalf of our cap
tured commissioners. If SO: it is better that
our people should know the sober truth, at
once, than that, impressed with vague be-
lief in the protection afforded by foreign
flag, they should cling, week after week, e
expectations, which must end in disappoint,
ment aud bitter chagrin.

Thirty Years Ago.

I've wander'd in the village, Tom,
I've sat beneath the tree,
Upon the school house play ground,
Which sheltered you and me.
But none were thero to greet rue, Tom,
And few were left to know.
That played with us upon the green,'
Some thirty years ago.
The grass is just as green, Tom;
Barefooted boys Mt play,
Were sporting, just as we did then,
With spirits just as gay.
But the master" sleeps upon the hill,
Which coated DER with snow
Afor dod us sliding place,
Just thirty years ago.
The old school-house is altered some
The benches are replaced
By new ones, very like the same
Our penknives had defaced.
But the same old bricks are in the wall,
The bell swings to and fro
It's music just the same, dear Tom'
Twas thirty years ago.
The boys were playing some old game
Beneath that same old tree
I do forget the name just now
You've played the same with mo
On that same spot: twas played with knives
BY throwing SO and SO,
The loser had task to do
There, thirty years ago.
The rivers running, just as still.
The willows on its side
Are larger than they were, Tom'
The stream appears less wide
But the grape vine swing is ruined now,
Where once We played the beau,
And swung our swee,hsarts-." pretty girls
Full thirty years ago.
Near by the spring, upon an elm,
- iIssg know I cut your name,
Your swee,hxart's just beneath it, T"m,
anu you uiU lni''e 'So '
Some heartless wretch had peeled the bark
Twas dying sure but slow,
Just as tho one whose name you cut
Died thirty years ago.
NV lids have long been dry, Tom, :
But tears came in my eyes,
I thought of her loved SO woli'
Those early broken ties.
I visited the old church yurd
And took some flowers to strew
Upon the graves of those We loved
Some thirty years ago.
Some are in the church yard laid
Some sleep beneath the sen,
But few are left of our old class
Excepting you aad me.
And when our time is come, Tom,
And NC arc called to so,
hope they'll lay US where We played
Just thirty years ago.
