[Thc following ode, written some years since
by the learned S. Grinkc, one Of the most il!ustr
Gus sons of South Carolina, brcathcs a spirit
striking contrast to that now entertained by h
countrymcn.]
Who woald sever Freedoms shrine?
Who would draw the invldious line?
Though by birth one spo; be mine,
Dear is all the rest.
Dear to me is the South's fair land,
Dear the central mountain band,
Dear New Englands rocky strand,
Dear the prairicd west.
BY our altars pure and free,
BY our Laws deep rooted tree,
BY the past's dread memory,
By our Washington
by our common kindred tongue.
BY your hopes-bright, bnOyant, young
Bv the tie Of country strong,
We will still be one.
Fathers have yc blcd In vain?
Ages, must We droop again?
Maker. shall we rashly stain
Blessings sent by Thee?
No! receive our solemn vow,
While before Thy throne we bow,
Ever to remain MS now

BINDING.-An act was introduced in
the English Parliament, in 1870, "that
all women, ofwhatcver age, rank, pro-
fession, or degree, whether virgins,
maids or widows, that shall, from aud
after such an act, impose upon, scduce
and bctray into matrimony, any Of his
maicsty's malo subjects, by scents,
paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth,
false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays,
hoops, high-heeled shoes, or bolstered
hips, shall incur the penalty of the laws
now in force against witchcratt, sorcory,
and such like misdemcanors, aud that
the marriage, upon conviction, stand
null and void"

NLw IMPLEMENT OF WAR.-William
McCord, Of Sing Sing, has devoted the
last two or three years to the invention
and pertccting Of a gun to discharge
successive volleys without the neces.
sity of intcrmission for rcloadjng or
adjusting the parts, or for allowing tho
implement to cool. This result he
claims to have most successfully accom-
plished and a number of military and
scientific men who have witnessed its
performance, bear testimony to the
amazingly destructive powers Of the
new weapon. The piece is discharged
by the turning OF crank; the loaded
balls with percussion caps attached.
passing into the barrels from hopper;
so that the only labor of loading is to
shovel the balls, like grain, into the
hopper. 1t can be kept in action from
hour to hour or from day to day, like
any other piece of machinery, aud for
aught we sec mi ght be propelled by
steam. The sample which has been
constructed, is certified to fire 240 balls,
(weighing forty to the pound) per mir
ute; but the inventor is constructing
larger pieces, and expects to be able to
discharge cannon balls Of ample size,
though with less rapidity. There is
contrivance which, it is said effectually
prevents the barrels from heating.
McCord says he hopes there wilt hc
no call for his gun by either Of the par
ties in our national disscnsions, which
he trusts will be speedily allayed; but
after peace is restored, he anticipates a
demand at the South, one piece being
sufficient, in his estimation, to remove
all fear of successful servile insurrec.

been taken to patent the invention in
the various European countries.

Particulars Of the Inauguration,

Mr.. Lincoln read his address in loud;
firm voice. He delivered it with much
effect and was loudly applauded at in:
tervals.
Only one copy of the address was
made, and that was for the Associated
Press, from original slips printed at the
Springfield Journal office, with inter.
linations made in accordance with new
developments after the first draft.
Gen. Scott was not III tho procession;
as was generally bel eyed, but remained
at the War Department all day, in Or
der that he might receive early notice
of any disturbance fthe peace, and is
sue the necessary orders. Sentinels
taken f'om the regular troops, were
placed on the top Of prominent build
ings, with previously arranged signals
to communicate with different stations
in case Of an outbreak.
Four batteries of artillery were drawn
up in front Of the City Hall all day,
with men standingready at a moments
notice, to repair to any scene of action:
During the delivery Of the inaugural;
while at Willard's, and in the process
sion, Mr.. Lincoln maintained a calm.
ness and dignity which was evidently
not studied for the occasion, but was
so natural and graceful as to elicitespe-
cial remark.
lie was escorted to the Presidents
House by the Senate Committee, and
in passing along the avenue, was sur.
rounded by the Presidents mounted
guard-a fine local company of horse
men.
There was but few people at the Ex-
ecutivc mansion on the Presidents ar
rival. The Committc remained few
moments, and then left the President
in retirement with his family.
The procession was delayed on ac-
count OF Mr.. Duchanan's absence. He
remained at the Capitol signing bills till
ten minutes to II O'clock. 1t is UNDER
stood that many foreign Ministers who
listened to the inaugural of Mr.. Lin-
coin, are much pleased, and expressed
themselves to the effect that after all
we have Government.
In taking the oath, Mr.. Lincoln
placed his hand on the Bible, and the
usual form, put by the venerable chief
Justice, was repeated hy him in firm
decided tone. At the conclusion, he
bowed revcrcntly and kissed the book;

ferent sections of the Union came in
conflict, was in 1920, under the Admin
istration of President Monroe. and oc.
Cured on the question of the admission
of Missouri into the Union.

BulWer as an Orator.

=
reserves himself for great occasions.
When the Senate is deeply stirred upon
some question, u runlor runs round the
benches that "Bulwer Lytton will adj
dress the house." Every seat is filled,
and the listeners resign themselves to
what is, aftcrall, however, only check
cred enjoyment. The orators seat, in
opposition or in office, is on the front
bench. usually next to Mr.. DIsraeli.
The stranger in the gallery sees tall,
thin attcnuatcd figure come to the table.
The face is pale, the eye speaking and
intelligent, the hair abundant on the
head, lip and chin, but neither artisti-
cally arranged nor carefully tended !;
the attire careless, not to say shabby.
The features are cmincntlv aristocratic
and intellectual. The hearty cheer that
grccts him is succeeded by respectful
silence and strained attention, the rea-
son for which is soon seen. Nature. so
bountiful to him in oratorcal gifts, has
denied him the faculty of clear and dis
tinct uttcrancc. Now YOU miss word,
then sentence. Sometimes those
around him catch a happy allusion,
which is scarcely understood by those
at whom the shaft is aimed, but who
are separated from him by the speaker S
table. Whether the defect be one of
the palate, or tongue, or lips, it would
not be easy to say; but those who have
sat opposite to him at public dinners,
when he has harangucd large audiences,
have found it impossible to follow him
throuy yhout. although sitting in front OF
him at a distance Of only five or six
feet. To listen to Bulwcr Lytton is
therefore is one of the most tantalizing
of oratorical cnjoymcnts. All that is
heard sharpchs the zcst to hear more.
OF so carefully considered and highly
elevated an Grafton you would not viii
lingly miss one word. In moments OF
vcXation, with which admiration is
largely intcrminglcd, you ask yourself
whether u Dcmosthehic regiment OF
pebbles and scaslorc ought not to have
been prescribed for the young politi-
clan? 1fany is heard, why not all !
The singer who bites Lis words is made
to practice with a cork between his
lips. Why are inarticuatc sounds So
provokingly mixed up by this orator
v,ih audible words of weight a:":;, wis
dom which give us no pause" even
when they do not carry conviction.
Ills gestures confirm you in the belief
that this versatile genius never thought
il worth his while to go through the
drudgery of preparation for parliament
airy and political life. lie often gcstic-
ulatcs with his spine, makes low sa-
laams to the door, and will neither
learn grace from D1sr1cli, nor dignity
from Gladstone. Yet, all these defects
are swallowed up and lost in the pleas.
urcs which his brilliant sallies and
pointed apotlcgms produce.

From the KnnnMhnRerlon.

From all We can learn from KanaWha,
the rebels have between fifteen and eigh-
tSeu hundred troops there. Private infor-
nation tells US that they are poorly clad
andindiRereutly armed. Their commissariat
department, too, is poor. They are not
thought to he at all in an effective cond;-
tiOn for fight, aud 1t seems to be thought
that unless they are better supplied they
viii soon have plenty of discomfort among
them. How trae any or all OF this
information is We cannot say. Probably
Itis,in the main correct. We suppose their
condition is somewhat similar 20 that of
Porter6elds command at Phillippi, when
he Was there.
% Judge Summers is reported 10 be gone
over, 70 all inteuts and purposes, to these
rebels: to be in full fellowship aud Gospel

lieve from his late manifesto. That docu-
ment was, at least, a moral, if not an
actual abandonment of all that he had
protested in former times. But, as we
said In our comments on his manifesto,
Judge Summers is NO man TO lead: is no
