Joseph FRYE and Gen. Jackson.

Joseph Frye was large man, nearly six
feet in hight, with a strong and muscular
frame, rather round shoulders, and little in
clined to stoop. He had all iiely formed face,
a brilliant eye, that served to illuminate his
whole expression, light complexion and brown
hair and his general appearance was much
more than ordinarily attractive His man
ners, which were faithful exponent of his
natural disposition, were genial and amiable,
and Sufficiently cultivated withal to render
him acceptable to the most polished circles.
His intellect was decidedly above the common
order; it had been improved, not, indeed by
a collegiate education, but by diligeDt use
of such opportunities as were within his
reach.
cannot forbaar here to relate an incident
illustrative of his remarkable power III this
regard, OF which was myself witness. 1t
occurred in the Foundry Church in WASH
iugtou, while the Baltimore Conference was
in session, and during the administration Of
General Jackson. Joseph Frye was the
preacher, and the General was one Of his au-
dience. The discourse was founded on the
incident in the evangelical history touching
the Syrophenican woman. He threw himself
into his subject--itself one of great beauty
and tenderness-with such deep feeling and
mighty power, that the effect was quite ire
sistibe. The President sat so near me that
| was able to watch the movements Of his
great and susceptible heart, as the preacher
advanced; and it really seemed as if the old
mans spirit was stirred to its lowest depths.
The tears ran down his face like a river; and
indeed, in this respect he only showed himself
like almost every ybody around him. When
the service was closed he moved up towards
the alter with bis usual air OF dignity AID
earnestness, and requested an Introduction to
the preacher. MIR. Frye stepped down to re-
ceiye the hand of the ilustrious Chief Mag
fstratc but the General, instead of merely
giving him his hand threw his arms around
his neck, and, 10 no measured terms Of graft.
tude and admiration, thanked him for his ex'
cellent discourse. The next day an invita-
ton came to the whole Conference to pay q
visit to the White House, and it was CRATE
fully accepted, and the General received the
members in the most respectful and cor
dial manner. After passing "ery pleasant
hour with him, they were about to retire
when he proposed that they should not sepa
rate without devotional exercises. The frs
sang, and then one of the Conference led il
prayer The General fell upon his knee
with the rest, and, the prayer being a some
what lively one, he shouted out his loud ant
hearty amen at the close Of almost ever,
sentence. 1t was a scene which none VIII
witnessed it would be likely ever to forget

Southern Exodus.

a remarkable feature of the present bel
ligerent controversy between the North and
South is, that the helpless wives and children,
and the property of the beliigerents are sent
over to their eucmies for protection This
is a movement heretofore unheard Of among
fighting parties, and is now confined entirely
TO the South. We hear Of no wives and
children Or families " fleeing from the free
to the slave States for safety The tide oI
w1ite fugitives is pouring into the towns and
cities all along the border. Of the arrivals
at Cincinnati, the WlStern Christian Id
u0cate says:
There were thirty nine arrivals at the
hotels 10 Cincinnati, of persons and families
from various parts of the South-some from
South Carolina, others from Georgia and
Alabama, and others yet from Florida and
Louisiana-on Monday, June Sd. Through
the remaining days of the week, there were
seventy additional arrivals from the same re-
gion We do not pretend to say why these
persons and families flee from the South to
the North, achihe there are none that are tee-
iuq from the North to the South Somebody
knows the reason why. The reign OF terror
at the South is becoming fearful.
A lady relative in note to this office,
dated Columbia, Ark, May 10th, says that
several negroes and white men had been hung
8 for cause in that vicinity, and that 1t was
certain death to a man to say he was in favor
of the American flag Tarring and feather
ing, shooting and hanging are current pas
times of the South, and the leading men
there know this to be true; and they know
another thing, that no man has been tarre-'
or feathered or hung in the North Tor any
utteranccs either for Or against the Govern
ment. Such is the difference between the
two sections. The talk in the South by Doc
tors of Divinity. and preachers, and polltl-
clans generally, is that in this conflict the
North seeks only booty and beauty. F'H
they tell as hosv it is that they, being at 1oa7'
against US, should send TO as their helpless
vomen ind children for projection p

man.
His knapsack was brought to him, and as
he took it his eye cleaned with pleasure, and
his face was covered all over with smile, as
he brought out from it his hid treasures,
There, said he, that is a Bible from my
mother And Washington's farewell
addrcss-is the gift from my father. And
this, his voice failed.
The nurse looked down to see what it was,
and there was the face Of beautiful maiden.
Now said the dying young soldier, |

She did as he requested, and the poor young
soldier laid him down on them to die, re-
questing that they should be sent to his
parents when he was gone Calm and JOY
ful was he in dying. 1t was only going from
night to endless day from death to eternal
glory, So the young soldier died.

FLIRrArIoNs OF MARRIED WoMEN.-The

FLIRrAr1oNs OF MARRIED WoMES.-The
innocent firtations of married women are one
of the denominations of society. Even de-
sire for promiscuous admiration is wrong in
a young wife. The love of one and his ap-
proval should be all that she ought to desire.
Let her be ever so beautiful, it is a disgust
ing and appalling sight to see her decorating
that beauty for public gaze to see her seek
inc the attention of senselcss fops around,
and rejoicing in the admiration Of other eyes
than those Of her husband. Her beauty
should be for him alone, and not for the gaze
of the fools that futter around her. There
is always among the sedate and wise sensa-
ton Of disgust when a married lady attempts
to ensnarc or entrap young men by protuso
display Of her charms, or an unlicensed out
Law of her smiles. Such charms and such
smiles are loathsome to the Indifferent behol-
der: and the trail of the serpent is ovor them

PRAYBR.--Prayer is ever profitable; at
night it is our covering; in the morning it is
our armor. Prayer should be the key of the
day, and the lock of the night. Prayer
sanctifes all our actions. He is listed in Gods
service and protection, who makes it his first
work to be enrolled by prayer under the
standard Of the Almighty. He carries an
assistant angel with him for his help, who
begs his bencdiction from above ;and without
it he is lame and unarmed.-Fe!thdm.

add to the blockading squadron 200 guns and q
500 men. Twenty three gunboats have been
contracted for. each of 500 tons burden, besides
several larger and aeeter vessels.
Eight sloops- of-war are also now being con

4th of March. 2j9 officers of the navy have re-
signed or been dismissed. To some extent the
deficiency has been supplied by reapponting
former officers who bad retired to civil lite. The

rapidity SO that the vessels have been manned
as fast MS they could be prepared, armed and
equipped. The marine corps has also been in
