Typical at once of our Lord and our Land.
Upon the former we rely in humble conf.
dence to strengthen our arms to drive back
the invaders of the latter. -.He......, I'll
know not if you will publish this. You,
too, o, Brutus have been seized with the
madness of the hour, and seem bent upon
crushing an unofending people, whose only
crime is desire to part from you in peace,
because they can no longer live with you in
fraternity. You have chosen TO appeal to
the sword. We grieve that we must meet
former brethren in this wise. We had
hoped, that like Lot and Abraham, we
might part in peace. The Great Ruler has
decreed otherwise, and again requires bis
children to baptize their liberty in blood.
We bow in submission to His omnipotent
wisdom and grasp the sword with the stern
resolve to drive every hostile foot from our
borders, or like Leonidas and his three hun.
dred, to perish without leaving man to
wear the hated yoke. But we doubt not
the issue. Well may we quote the language
of Rolla to the Peruvians =" You, by a
by strange frenzy driven, fight tor power,
for plumber and extended rule; we, for our
affairs, our fires and our HOMES" In such a
war, who can doubt the result? The very
women and children will take up arms
against you. .--...... .-. ..,.
But your own prophecy treasures us.
Your eagle, overthrown by the lightnings
of war, shall fall from heaven dishonored.
But if the distinction between the white
and black races be preserved, those pre-
serving it shall be again united, and shall
become prosperous when the Southern Cross
appears among their stars. No one shall
see anger among them. Nullus iras inter
eos videba, with whom alba alba, ct nigra
nlanent. JOSEPH.

HOW THE NEWS WAS Observation-Disclosures
IsTICs OF AMERICAN TELEGRAPHING.
Correspondence of the New York Tribune. e.. "a.
= PARIS, Friday, April 20, 1861
: For four full days the European public
have had before them the two columns OF
extraordinary dispatches which the Charles
ton people sent North during the lombard
ment and fall of Fort Sumter and these
dispatches being the only history of that
event that we have received or can receive
before the arrival of another steamer, you
may Judge of the somewhat singular effect
they produced here. A dozen glowing
dispatches, each terminating" 1t is i'm
possible to describe the grandeur of the
scene !" or, "For fifty miles around the
scene is one of indescribable grandeur !" with
high wrought pictures of crumbling forti6ca
tions, exploding magazines, burning houses,
heavens obscured with the smoke of burst
ing shells, &C., was enough to prepare the
mind for the ultimate bill of mortality
known to military annals. But we are as
sured by Mr.. Miles, who has just returned
from the captured fort" that not life was
lost one it hers ide The European wipes
his glasses, and looks back again at the
paper with amazement to assure himself
that be is not mistaken; but the assertion
is repeated over and over again, and he
verynaturally exclaims '.ThOse wonderful
Yankees they have invented way of TAX
ing forts without hurting anybody p The
fall of SebastapOl was announced in three
lines, without one word on the grandeur
OF the scene, much less on the extent
of country over which the scene was
grand. The battle of SolferinO was an.
nounced in six lines, and without one word
of fanfarronade, and yet fifty thousand men
"bit the dust" in the short space of sixteen
hours. And while this great massacre was
going on, instead of "windows, house tops
ard church steeples crowded with well
dsessed ladies and gentlemen, watching the
scene through their glasses with deep emo
tion," the farmers were quietly cultivatiDg
their fields within hearing of the musketry,
and the housewife went on with her daily
occupations, as if the artificial earthquake
on the neighboring farms was a thing of
every day occurrence.
To European, then, who knew nothing
Of the animus oftbe fight, who knew moth.
ing of the diplomacy which lay hid behind
this apparent fury of arms, the two columns
of teegraphic bombast must have appeared
to the last degree ridiculous. In London a
word was invented on Friday, on Change,
for this event, which has bad great success
also at Paris. 1t was called uery civl aDar.

General Scott is in receipt of important
dispatches from Fort McHenry and from
Major Morris and Gen. Cadwallader. He
sent this morning full instructions to the
latter as to the policy he is to pursue at
Baltimore. Federal Hill is entirely deserted,
by order of General Cadwallader, who has
taken up position for his camp near Fort
McHenry The removal from Federal Hill,
which is the surest and most available
position commanding the city, is severely
censured by many military men, but is
generally liked by the people of that vicinity.
1t is said that Col. Jones, who led the
Massachusetts sixth regiment through Bal
timore on the 18th ult, will succeed Gen.
Butler as Brgadier General.
Extra Billy Smith had an interview with
Adjutant General Thomas yesterday, and
said the Administration is mistaken in
supposng Virginia has now or ever con-
templated attacking Washington, and that
such an attempt would never be made under
any circumstances. as it would involve an
utter destruction of everything in it. "All
we want is to be let alone. If you keep
your side of the Potomac, we will keep ours.
Virginia is determined to maintain the
ground she has TAKEN"
rhe Posts special dispatch says the capi.
tol building will be cleared of troops by the
first of June, and be renovated by the be.
ginning of the extra session of Congress.
The Michigan rife regiment has arrived at
Washington in fine condition, being the first
body OF western troops that has reached
Washington.
A general army order has been issued,
stating that there will be added to the gen.

There will be added to the medical depart

With shot and shrapnel, grape and she'll,
Well give them back the fire of hell;

Come like your grandsires stern and stout,
Though cotton be of kingly stock,
Yet royal heads may reach the block,
The Puritan taught it once in pain,
His sons shall teach it once again; ~

The blockade of the seeded States, not
only on the sea, but on land, promises to be
thorough and effective. No steamboats,
loaded with provisions, or supplies of any
kind, are allowed to pass Cairo, for the
South. Even Adams Express has been
interdicted. On the 18th Gen. M ANsFIELD,
in command of the troops at the Capital,
issued the following orders:
ordered, by telegraph, the agent of Adams
Express Company at New York, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore, that in the future no express
matter, inclusive of letters, will be permitted
to 60 south of this city into Virginia. Last
express matter, and stopped all contraband
goods, and allowed the rest to go forward.

Oh Columbia, the gem of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free,
The shrine OF each patriots devotion,
A world offers homage to thee.

When liberty's form stands in view,
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne 6y the red, white, and blue.
When borne by the red, white, and blue,
When borne by the red, white, and blue,
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,

And threaten'd our land to deform,
The ark then Of freedom s foundation,
Columbia rode safe through the storm.

When SO proudly she bore hei bold crew,
With her flag proudly floating before her,

And hold to their colors SO true,

This is most perfect preparation, and seldom

a constant household friend, giving and relief

aud it win save you many hours of pain and suf-
fering. There is hardly pain it will not case
There is hardly accident that viii occur where
it sill not be useful.
Should one Of your family get burned or scald-
ed cover the burned part with cloth of several
thicknesses wet with the "Master OF Pain,' and
keep the cloth saturated with it,. In short time
it will draw all the fire ont. 1t will prick
ling sensation-this is the fire coming out. Keep
it wet with the s4Master OF Pain" until the pain
aud prick ling ceases Let the wet cloth stay on
for six or eight hours, after which apply some
healing ointment sweet oil In nearly all cases
of Pain or Soreness Of the Chest, Throat, Side,
Back Spine, Limbs or Joints, it win give relief
Rub it on freely with the hand or with flannel
cloth until the skin becomes heated and burning.
For of the throat rub it on until 1t pro-
duces little soreness.
| For Group use it in connection with the Cough
Syrup, by rubbing it on the chest.
| For Rheumatism and all deep seated pains, if

For Pains in the Breast, Side or Back, the same
