The Act ooncern,ng Aliens.

The first section of the late Act OF the
Congress of the Confederate States "res-
pecting alien enemies" provides, among
otherthings, shat during the war, citi-
zens of tho United States residing within
the Confederate States with intent to be-
come citizens thereof, and who shall
make declaration of such intention in
due form. and acknowledging the author
ity OF the Government Of the same, shall
not become liable to the pains and PEN
alhes of the aforesaid Act.
As much doubt exists respecting the
proper judicial tribunal before which
this "declaration" must be made, we are
authorized to say that it must be made
in some court ofrecord. within forty days
from the date Of President Davis procia-
nation of the l4th of August.

We expect to visit Monroe county next
week, and hope to find portion Of our
friends ready to pay up. 1t is unpleasant
to us to ask any one for money, even in
ordinary times, and much more so now.
In order that We may be relieved from
the painful embarrassment, we hope de-
linquents will shell out at once, and not
wait to be invited out to one side for q
private interview. We must either make
collections or stop business. The case is
too plain to admit of argument.

The Quaker City Troubles.

We infer from various accounts which
have reached us recently, that the Broad
Brims about Philadelphia, are getting
shaky in the knees. Great trepidation
has seized upon the "courageous" deni-
gems of the city of "Brotherly Love- and
in every passing breeze they imagine that
they can scent the approach of powerful
Confederate army. Poor creatures they
have seen the handwriting upon the wall,
and no wonder that their cowardly legs
smite each other, and their teeth chatter
with fear and trembling. Under date of
August "a, we have the following unmis-
taxable indications of the CONSERVATION
and alarm which prevail in Philadelphia:
The committee on the safety and pro-
lection OF the city are moving energetic
ally In providing arms, ammunition, &C.,
for the proper protection of the city, IL
anything should occur requiring such
implements of warfare. Some time since
they ordered twelve of the Parrot rifled
cannons, IL and 20-pounders, and in a
few days they will be sent to this city,
with caissons, forge, harness for horses,
and everything requisite TO put them in
immediate service. There Is now in New
York fine steel cannon for the city,
made in Paris, present from Mr.. George
Mclienry, OF Liverpool, and three more
OF the same pattern are expected in a.
Few weeks. These were purchased bys
one OF the Swaims, and will be delivered
over to the city. ''''

Out through the darkness of the night,
They flash silent, pickering light.
They slnRe on vctory's distant track,
Whence none. alas! for me comes back:
They tet me bleed to death, Tonight
True sentry, on the field OF fight
flushed is the tumult of the fray,
Tile powder smoke is blown away;
Faint broken shouts fall on my ear;
My comrades all are far from here.
Yet, though my comrades all are far,
There CLEANS full many golden star,
And angel bands light up, on high,
The eternal watchtiIes OF the sky.
On, comrades brave, to victory!
Farewell, ye banners, high and free!
can no longer be with you;
AnOher camp is near in view!
White banners, in the moonlight spread,
Float through the heavens above inv head
Slow sinking now l see them wave
Aud hutter DER soldiers grave.
. loved one, Ills the thought OF thee
Alone weighs down this heart in me;
Yet weep not, love, be this thy pride,
That brayely at my post died
The Lord of Hosts, unseen, ON high
Leads out the armies OF the SKY;
Soon shall lie call my name out clear
And ], true sentry, answer: Here!
