\ NOBLE SEETINEET-Some true heart las given ozprc sion to its generous nature in the following beautiful sentiment: Never desert friend whcn enemies gather round him. w hen sickness falls on the heart, when the world is dark and cheericss, is the time to try true friend. They who turn from . scene of distress betray their hypoc- risy, and prove that interest moves them. If you have a friend who loves you and studies your interest and happiness, be sure to sustain him in adyersity Let him feel that his former kindness is appreciated, and that his love is not thrown away. Real fidel- fly may be rare, but exists in the heart. Who has not seen and feltits powers? They deny its worth who never loved friend, or labored to make friend happy"

TO the Editor Of the Cincinnati Enquirer Upon
the Senate Journal of the first session of the thir-
ty-frst Congress, page l29, may be found the fol-
lowing scrap Of history;
"On the lst Of February 1850, Senator John P
Hale, of New Hampshire presented two petitions
from Isaac Jefffes and other citizens of Pennsylva-
MIA, and John F. Woodward and Others praying
that some plan might be devised for the dissolution o.

Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts, was unsparing
in his decunciations of the petitions Yet these Pc

ceived three votes to-wit Johl r, Hale, of New

in the North. Albeit the Secretaries of State, and
Of the Treasury may not be suspected of posseng
influence with the Administration.

THE BRTIsH WAR STEAMER MIRAMoN Nor EXACT
LY fANkEE.-lt appears that the steamer which
our correspondent over the lake saw coming up
through the Mississippi sound yesterday, was not,
as he supposed, Yankee blockader, but the steam
er Mramon, which has been lying at Mobile for the
past two months. On monday night, during the
blow, when the the blackading squadron had about
as much as they could attend to- taking care of
themselves, the Miramon raised steam and gave them
the slip.
She is now quietly anchored at the lake end OF
the Pontchartrain railroad, and though flying the
British flag at her peak, we can readily imagine
that the Confederate States will manage effect
change in that particular, and have "a sufficient
armament abroad TO keep the lake clear of the Mass
achusetts and such like craft. The Miramon, we
believe, was originally built for war steamer and
is emtnently adapted for our service being light
tdraught and very swift, with sufficient strength to
bear very heavy armament. So much for the pa

after harvest. Now that the summer crops are
laid by, many of thse are ready to volunteer and
we believe regiment may easily be raised. The
men called for are not to go into camp bu
must volunteer organise, equip, and drill in com

notice, to take the field. The heavy expense OF
maintaining the men in camp is thus avoided, ant
no man need leave home till his services actually
needed. ... .rrrr..-
