81 Wish ] was in Dixie.''

So common has become the error that this
is n Southern song, and relates to Southern
institutions, that | must be pardoned if
break the enchan.ment and relate the facts
about it. | see, also, that Mr.. Albert Pike, of
Arkansas, has written song recently, in
which he suggests that we
advance the flag of Dixie,
Hurrah Hurrahl
For Dixe's land wall take our stand.
And live or die for Dixie W &c.
Now, do not wish to spoil pretty ilu-
sion, but the real truth is that Dixie" is an
Indigenous Northern negro refrain, as COM
mon to the writer hereof as the lamp poste in
New York city, seventy or seventy five years
ago 1t was one of the every day allusions
of boys, at that time, in all of their outdoor
sports And no one ever heard of Dxie's
land being other than Manhattan Island until
recently, when it has been erroneously sup
posed to refer to The South from its connec-
tiOn with pathetic negro allegory.
When slavery existed in New York, OH
'Dixy" owned large tract of land on Man
haitian Island, and large number of slaves
The increase of the slaves and the increase of
the abolition sentiment caused an emigration
of the slaves to more thorough and secure
slave sections and the negroes who were thus
sent OH lmany oelnS horn there) naturally
looked back to their old homes, where they
had lived in clover with feelings of regret,
as they could not imagine any place like
Dixy's. Hence it became synonymous with
an ideal locality combining ease, comfort and
material happiness of every description. In
those days negro singing and minstrelsy were
in their infancy and any subject that could be
wrought into ballad was eagerly picked up;
this was the case with Dixie" 1t origina
ted in New York, and assumed the propor-
tions of a song there. In its travels it has
been enlarged, and has gathered moss ;" it
has picked up note here and there a chorus
has been added to it, and from an indistinct
"chat" of two or three notes, it has become an
elaborate melody; but the fact that it is not
q Southern song Cannot be rubbed out" the
fallacy is so popular to the contrary that
have thus been at pains to state the real
origin of it.-New Orleans Delta.

low KENTUCKY STANDs.-A gentleman re-
Gently arrived from the South says that Zen.
lucky is more thoroughly hated among the
rebels than Massachusetts, because of her
loyalty to the Union. The editor of the
Memphis Avalanche, rabid Secession organ,
confirms this in the following editorial:
During recent visit to Kentucky, we
took considerable pains to ascertain the real
condition of Affairs in that State 1t is the
opinion of well-informed gentlemen of high
political standing in Kentucky that the peo-
pie of the State are about equally divided
into three classes the Lincolnites the Seces-
sionists, and the timid and time-serving, who,
chiefly concerned about their own safety. are
ready to Soin the stronger eide, although tn cir
sympathies are mostly with the South
There is undoubtedly powerful Lincoln
party in Kentucky at this time, led by Gar
rett Davis and majority of the politicians
of the Union party, actively cooperating
with Lincoln, and ready and determined to
take up arms in his unholy crusade against
the South. The members of this party are
the men who have induced thousands Of Lin.

Johnson in smuggling arms into East Ten

realty to the South, have sold themselves,

These vessels had complement exclusive
of officers and marines. of about 1900 men,
and nearly all of them were on foreign sta
tions. The home squadron consisted of 2
vessels, carrying IT'S guns and about 1000
men. OF this squadron, ouly four vessels,
carrying Is guns and about $50 men, were in
Northern ports.
With so few vessels in commission on our
coast, and our crews in distant seas, the de-
partment was very indifferently prepared to
meet the exigency that was rising. Every
movement was closely watched by the dis
affected, and threatened to precipitate meas
ures that the country seemed anxious to
avoid. Decentralization prevailed among the
officers many of whom, occupying the most
responsible positions, betrayed symptoms OF
that infidelity which has dishonored the ser
vice. But while SO many officers were un-
faithful, the crews-to their honor be it re-
corded-were true and reliable. and have
maintained, through every trial and under all
circumstances their devotion to the Union
and the flag. Unfortunately, however, few
comparatively of these gallant men were
within the call of the department at that
eventful period They, as well as the ships,
were abroad.

OUR ORDERS.

Weave no more silks, ye Lyons looms,
To deck our girls for gay delights
The crimson flower of battle blooms,
And solemn marches fill the nights.
Weave but the flag whose bars to-day
Dropped heavy Ger our early dead,
And homely garments, coarse and gray.
For orphans that must earn their bread
Keep back your times, We viols sweet
That pour delights from other lands!
Rouse there the dancers restless feet
The trumpet leads our warrior bands.
And We that wage the war of words
With mystic fame and subtile power,
Go, chatter to the idle birds,
Or teach the lesson of the hour.
Ye Sbyl Arts, in one stern knot
Be all your offices combined
Stand close, while Courage draws the lot,
The destiny of humankind
And if that destiny could fail.
The sun should darken in the sky,
The eternal bloom of Nature pale,
And God, and Truth, and Freedom die.

The ST. NICHOLAS PIRATE CAPTURED. The
career of Capt. Thomas, of st. Marys county
Nd, who planned the capture of the Balt-
more steamboat st. Nicholas, and whose ex-
plot in seizing that steamer while in the
Petuxet river, was so boastingly proclaimed
by the Secessonists as brilliant affair."
seems likely to come to short end, if not a
ropes end The gallant captain is in safe
custody at Fort McIIenry, and has been in
dcted by the United States Grand Jury of
Baltimore for piracy and robbery on the
high seas, and the proof against him is so
clear, and the defense not even showing let
ters of marque from Jeff. Davis, gallows
tree is the likely destination of the aforesaid
Capt. Thomas. The capture was cleverly
done. Lieutenant Thomas Il Carmichael,
of the Baltimore Middle District Police, and
officer John Hornor went down the bay en-
other business, but getting on board the
steamer Mary Washington, to return to the
C ty, they discovered that Capt. Thomas was
on loard with eight companions. AS soon
as satisfactory information on this point was
obtained, and each one ,of the party reeog-
nized beyend doubt, Lieutenaat Carmichael
directed Captain Mason L. Weems, the coa-
mander Of the Mary Washington, to proceed,
on reaching the harbor, to land the passen-
gers at Fort MclIenry. The direction was
given while the steamer was near Annapolis.
Shortly after, while Lieutenant Carmichael
and Mr. Horner We're in the ladies' cabin,
they were approached by Thomas, who de-
sired to know by what authority the order
had been given for the stearaer to touch at
Fort McHenry.
The Liutenant informed him that it was
Ah.n, taI ~
Kenly, Provost Marshal of Baltimore On
hearing this, Thomas drew his pistol, and
calling his men around him, threatened to
seize and throw Carmichael and Horner over
board. The latter drew their revolvers and
defed the other party to proceed to execute
their threats. The utmost confusion prevailed
in the cabin for short time, the female pas
sengers running out screaming, but the other
male passengers stood up With Carmichael
