THE DIRGE OF THE PRIvATEER
What craft is that whose Haunting sail

What craft is that whose Haunting sail
We see along the shore,
The rebel ensign at her peak,
The black flag at her fore?
Say, dare these brigands of the land,
Beard US upon the seas?
Then, short the shrift and stout the cord
For braggarts such as these!
The flag that waves above the brave,
And wrestles with the blast,
Now falls before pirate crew,
Dishonored from the mast
And shall these carrion vultures prey
Upon our native seas?
No! short the shriit and stout the cord
For braggarts such as theSe
No spot on Freedoms sacred soil
Should hold the pirates tomb;
A nameless grave beneath the wave
Should be the outlaws doom;
Then hurl them down, unknelled, unwept,
Below the angry seas;
Short be the shrift and stout the cord
For mscreants such as these!

IN MEMORY OF GEN. LYON.

Unfurl our flag half-mast to-day,
In sorrow mid the clang of war,
Each crimson stripe is turned to gray,
To black each azure star.
The dropping breeze scarce stirs fold,
The birds complain with fettered breath
The clouds hang sullenly and cold,
For 10, a herO's death
From far Missouri's prairie plain
The echo of his battle cry
Sound and recedes. and sounds again,
His life-earned victory.
o, Lyon on thy martial bier
The tears of grateful millions flow,
And treason well may shrink and fear
Its fated overthrow.
For wheresoe'e 'er thy comrades stand,
To face the traitors, as of yOre,
Thy prescient spirit shall command,
And lea the charge once more.
Then fling our flag mast high to-day,
Triumphant mid the clang of war,
And death to him who shall betray
One single stripe or star

Washington, Oct. 8. The Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, Mr.. Dole has returned from an
official visit to the Indian tribes in Kansas and
Nebraska. He was received by them in glad
ness. They sought every opportunity to express
to him their frendlness to the United States.
He conversed with the returned Kansas officers
who took part in the battle at Springfield, and
who informed him thrt no separately organized
Indian forces were with the Rebels on that occa-
sion, but that few half-breeds only were in the
ranks of the enemy.
The efforts of the Rebels to array the Indians
against US, so far as the commissioner could
learn, was attended only with partial success.
The Indians as class are disposed to be friend
". but those IN hostility have been coerced to
this course by the Rebels No doubt is enter
tanned that it would require no persuasion to
raise a large force of Kansas and Nebraska In

request that it be communicated to some thirty
other tribes in the South and Southwest:
DELAWARE NATION, State of Kansas, }

Anderson Sarkoxie, head chief of the Della
wares, in the State of Kansas, and No-cou he
quin, second chief, and John Conner, third
chief, send 10 their grand children of other ma
tons their friendship and ask of them not to
quarrel and shed blood about the condition of
the country. Let none of the tribes war against
the government, but let all of them stand by
the Union. If there should be any division in
any nation, and any part of tribe attempt to
assail and war against the others, because they
are for the preservation of the Union, then we,
chiefs Of the Delawares, promise and obhgate
ourselves to lend the whole power of the nation
to aid and protect such tribes as may be invad-
ed. We say to our Creek friends, and to all
other nations that we will stand and die by the
Great Father, who is now using all his lawful
power to preserve the Union and we will per-
nit no other nation to war against the Union
with impunity.
