Political parties are entirely ignored.
RICHMOND, IND, April l5.-There is tre-
mendous excitement here. A mass-meeting
of citizens, irrespective o&party, is being
held. Volunteer companies are parading
the streets. A prominent Democrat made a
speech, in which he promised to wade
| through seas of blood TO support the Ad-
ministration and the stars and stripes.
IKDIANAPoLIs, April l5.-The excitement
continues undated, and recruiting has been
brisk all day. The ranks of all the military
| companies are filed, and others are forming.
| A flying company was organized
tonight. The Governor is hourly receiving
offers of troops from all parts of the State.
PITTsBURG, April I5.-The war news has
created intense excitement here, and busi-
ness has been almost suspended since Satur-
| day. The Presidents proclamation has
thoroughly aroused the military spirit and
several companies have volunteered to suS-
tain the integrity of the Union.
| Tonight there is an immense gathering al
the City Hall, opened by the Mayor, who
introduced the venerable William wilkins
as President.

Mr.. Benjamin Of Louisiana, one of the
ablest Senators from the Slave States, de-
livered in the Senate yesterday what he
evidently regards as his final speech lie

min plainly admits that after having made
the issue before the people, The Govern
ment must be broken up because his par
ty was defeated in the Presidential cleo
ticn That IS the substance Of all Eat
part Of his speech 1t is the Mexican
doctrine cf revolution by the minority
La his view of the case, the Union must
be destroyed because the election has e5i
tabisbcd the non extension of Slavery
as the nolcy Of the nation Slavery re-
cures and indefinite field for expansion,
and because the Free States have voted
for Freedom in the Territories, they
have broken the compact, and the Gov--
erument accordingly falls to the ground:
Mr. Benjamin concluded his speech with
a piece of very great rhetoric, which drew
forth the loudest applause Of the CALLER
les, and led to the expulsion of the cheer
ing audience. The point of it was, that
war might be made upon the seeding
States, and the invaders might let loose
the horrors Of scrvilc atrocities, and they
might oyclpower Louisiana and the ether
States, bat thcy could never subduc
them. Slngularly enough Mr.. Benjamin
does not seem to think that such con-
fict could end otherwise than III the de-
feat of the revolutionary States In one
respect, however, he is like all his fellow
rcvoIutionists The idea that the Fed
eral Government will DO anything but
send down an army, never seems to enter
the head of these gentlemen. While
making business of treason, they do not
perceive that if war is made, it will be
made by themselves, and that unless it

BY ONE OF HER SISTERS.
Sister Carrie, my dear,
am sorry TO hear
That you are intending to leave us;
They say its a fact
That your trunk is all packed,
And you hope by such conduct to grieye u.s.
You have always been naughty,
And wiI}ful, aud naughty,
Like spoiled mink as you are;
So vain Of your beauty,
Forgctful ofGuty
You owe to indulgent papa.
am sure you can't say
You've not had your way
In each Of our family broils
While vow and declare
You've had your full share
Of each of the national spoils
Just wait for the season
And listen to reason,
Nor believe what your false lovers say;
For their prayers and their signs,
And their lattering lies,
VIII lead you to ruin some day.
Though they promise so fair,
Gay deceiverS they are,
From the one whom last evening you kissed
To Hammond and Rhett
And chivarous Keitt.
Orr; Mcmmingcr, Perkins, and Gist.
Some day. all rorlorn,
Bedraggled and torn,
Like the prodigal son in his need,
You viii knock at the door,
And come home once more,
Nor venture again to secede.
Now be warned of your fate
Before its too late;
Like dear little innocent lamb,
Come out Of your pet,
And do not forget
All the kindness Of good Uncle Sam.
The Palmetto tree
No shelter will be
When the dark clouds Of anarchy lower
You will long for the rest
OF your own Eagles nest,
And the strong arm Of Federal power.
Then dear little Sis,
Now give me a kiss,
To make up these family jars;
Secession shall never
Our Union discover

From BaIioa'S Dollar NoathB
Miss EGOG&Vd'S Farm, and ho w
She Managed il.
BY A. NJ. LOWERING.


Miss Fannie Leonard turned very pale,
and dropped the letter which she had
been reading, from her nerveless hands.
Looking the whole world over, at Just
that moment, one would scarcely have
found a more frightened or surprised per-
son than was this same Miss Fannie.
Her eycs-large and exceedingly blue
were distcnded half way from her head
her mouth-Quite broad, but very rosy
was wide apart; her curls-a brown, silk
en- cluster back cf either ear-trembling
as though they were at frolic with the
wind.
Miss Leonard bad fallen into possess
ion of a fortune, Not a large one, ac-
cording to the worlds reckoning, but to
her idea, one that was surprisingly vast.
The young lady had had a rough time of
it with life. BY this do not mean that
she had ever been street beegar; but at
an early age she Lad been left fatherless
and uothcless-to look out and shift for
herself in the world. Not being content.
ed to sink down with the ignorant masses,
and having quite an idea of educating
herself, she found she had something be-
sides play before her. At twenty-five
(for it takes time to work these changes, }
she was well informed and genteel ap-
pearing lady, and but for certain sharp
ness which comes from hard contact with
the world, and an occasional show Of bit
terness, which seldom finds its way into
the hearts of the home sheltered, one
would not have suspected that her walks
in lite had led her in any other than the
most refined circles.
But now Miss Leonard had a fortune
"a farm Of some forty acres but few
miles removed from the pretty inland city
of NJ, among the hills Of New Hamp-
shire. THAT farm" so wrote the legal
gentleman who had managed her eccen-
trio relatives affairs for years. "needs the
immediate care Of some one and it is my
advice that you should take up your res.
idence there at oGce."
Blessing her deceased uncle for his
kind memory of her, and dropping few
tears for something, she hardly knew
what, Miss Fannie went about gathering
up her little stock Of movables which
heretofore had included her whole stock
of worldly goods. This was no great
task. She had a box of books which
must be carefully paeked-a black silk
dress which must be folded SO that il
would not wrinkle-beyond this there
wasn't much to care for. In a navel
ously short space of time, she was on bel
way to NJ. feeling little lonely, per-
haps, but strangely independent.
Whether TO laugh or cry, she did moi
know, when the coachman set her doWl
at the door of her new home. She thought
she had never in her life before looked
upon SO comical a house-one patched VI

LEGISLATIVE WIT.-While Tom Corr
win was a member OF the General AS
sembly of the State of Ohio, he brought
in a bill for the abolition of public pun
ishment at the whipping post. He made
a speech thereon, to which an elderly
member replied as follows:
"Ihe gentleman is not as old as | am,
and has not seen so much cf the practical
operation Of the system of punishment
which lie desires to abolish. When [
lived in Connecticut, if fellow stole 4
horse or cut up any other rustics, We
used to tie him right up and give him q
real good thrashin', and he always clear
ed right out, and we never saw him any
more. It's the best way Of getting rid
Of rogues that ever was tried, and with
out any expense to The State"
Corwin rose and replied:
"Ar Speaker, have often been puz-
glcd to account for the fast emigration
from Connecticut to the West, but the
gentleman last up has explained it to my
entire satisfaction"
The bill was passed without further
discussion
