A MINNESOTA MAN on SEcEssIoN.-A letter
writer in Minnesota proposes to take advantage
of the fact that the origin OF the Mississippi
and the Red River of the north arc very near
together, in this terrible fashion:
Out of our bowels Of compassion we permit
the mighty Mississippi to flow, that they may
have something to drink and to float about
upon. Now, if they don't desist in their re-
bellous and crazy raid against the govern
ment, we propose trenching the highlands
of Minnesota, dam the Missouri and ditch
the Rocky Mountains, thus turning the faith
or and mother of waters to flow into the Pa
cific at Puget's sound. Or what will be
much easier; we can, by ditching very
short distance from the fountain spring north.
ward, turn the limpid stream into the ted
River Of the north, thus gaining, by superio:
navigating facilities, the good will and union
of the British possessions and the Canadas,
leaving aristocracy and slavery out in the
desert of its own folly. Ranting, restless,

ELOQUENT.

The following, the peoration Of the message
Of Governor RANDALL, of Wisconsin, read at
the recent annual assembling of the Leg'sla-
ture of that State, is remarkably fine, and will
commend itself to the hearts of all Union
loving citizens: ls..
"The hopes of civilization and Christiani-
ty are suspended now upon the answer to
this question of dissolution. The capacity
for, as we'll as the right Of self government is
to pass its ordeal, and speculation to become
certainty. Other systems have been tried and
have failed, and all along, the skeletons OF
nations have been strewn, as warnings ana
landmarks upon the great highway OF histor-
ic government. Wisconsin is true, and her
people steadfast. She will not destroy the
Union nor consent that it shall be DONE
Devised by great, and wise, and good men, in
DAVIS of sore trial, it must stand. Like some
bold mountain, at whose base the great seas
break their angry floods, and around whose
summit the thunders of thousand hurricanes
have ratified, strong, unmoved, immovable-
so may our Union be, while treason surges at
its base, and passions rage around it, unmov-
cd immoyable-here let it stand forever"

T;,urlow Weed on Compromise.

Mr.. WEED still advocates with unwearied
diligence the adoption Of some scheme Of
Cancellation and compromise. In recen,
number of the Albany Erening Journal he
had the following:
1t is not thai VIC hope or care for any
change Of views or course, from disunionists
that we ask for Cancellation, but that by
unit:ng and strengthening Union men, we
may be better enabled to resist and punish
treason. And is not such union and strength
necdeds Why, but that the right spirit is
not aroused, are traitors allowed to stalk
through the national capital? Why, but that
the public scnsibility is dulled, do traitors
come and 60 with IMMUNITY? Why, but that
the government is cankcrcd, are not men
who openly advise the seizure Qualifications,
dealt with as traitors? AL this results from
a failure to adjust differences between those
who might be and aught to be friends. When
Congress is brough ito an agreement. upon
some onc OF the various pending propositions,
the whole question will assume brighter as
poets
In the border slave States there arc tens of
thousands Of anxious, devoted, Union men
who ask only that we should throw them a
plank which promises chance Of safety
In standing by the Union they do and dare
much more than is required Of us. Maryland
has been, and is now. withheld from the
whirling vortex of disunion, by the iirmness
and fidelity of its governor. If Virginia does
not plunge in recklessly, it will be from the
restraining influence Of her governor. Ten
nessee i,nplores the North to throw out an
anchor to which she can make fast. Gov
Gimcr, of North Carolina, Mr.. Ether;dge, of
Tennessee, Mr.. Davis, Of Maryland, and a
few other members of Congress, are better
Union men than we are and deserve far more
credit for courage and patriotism than is due
to representatives backed by Union constitu-
cncics.

A New IpEA.-JoHN w. FoRNEY Of the
Philadelphia Press, gives the secession States
of Mississippi, Florida and Alabama, some
thing new for their contemplation. As these
States were not included in the original thir-
teen, he wishes to know, if they, in absolv-
ing themselves from the Union, do not be-
come Territorial property ofthe United States,
and whether it is not the duty of the Chief
Magistrate to provide them with Territorial
officers? If there is any such thing as
State seeding from the Union, why this idea
of FoRsEy's is certainly plausible.

DOUGLAS LAST APPEARANCE IN THE SEN
ATE-The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune recalls the following pleas
ant reminiscence of the late eminent Sena-
tor:
seemed, when in the Senate Chamber
yesterday, to see and hear him again, and as
looked up and around on the Capitol, and
saw the heavy folds of the hahilimepta, ps
mourning, could hardly make it seem real
that it was all for him l had so lately heard
raise general laugh in these halls.
The occason was this: Mr.. Foster was in
the chair, and business was stayed for the
want of quorum. I" No quorum" repeated
Mr.. Foster Mr.. Douglas, who saw every
thing, rose, and pointing to Senator Foote,
good humoredly said, 'sMr. President, the
Quorum has come in!" These, l think,
were his last words in the Senate. He had
Just been wrestling with Breckinridge, that
dark, iron man Of destiny, and had foored
him on the question of withdrawing the troops
from all the seeded States, and this little
jeu d. esprit. coming in at such time, was
most happy. Now Breckinridge has more
manifestly gone to the traitors. Douglas, too,
has gone but who had not rather have the
fame of the latter in his grave, transmitted
ty his later patriotism, than the infamy Of
the ex-vice President, living.

Seigel made retreating movement, keeping
up the firing all the time, and ordering the

tried to cut of his communication with Car

THE BELLS.
BIZ EDGAR A. POE.

Hear the sledges with the bells
Silver bells!
What world of merriment their melody foretells !
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens seem to twinkle "a
With crystalline delight; g.
Keeping 1iilie, tiIhs, time,
In sort of Runic rhyme,
To the Standardization that musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
Hear the mellow wedding BELLS
Golden bells
What world of happiness ther-melody foretells
Through the balmy air OF night
How they ring out their delight =
From the molten golden notes,
All in tune,
What liquid ditty floats,
To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats
On the moon
Oh, from out the sounding cells,
What gush of euphony voluminously swells!
How it swells!
How it dwels
On the future how it tells
Of the rapture that impels
To the swinging and the ringing
OF the bells, bells, BELLS
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, BELLS
To the rhyming and the Ginning Of the bells !
Hear the loud alarum bells
What a tale of terror now their turbulency tells!
In the startled of night
How they out their alright!
Too much horrifed to speak,
They can only shrek, shrek,
Ont of time.
In camorous appealing to the mercy OF the hre,
In mad exposuation with the deaf and frantic hre,
Leaping higher, higher, higher,
With desperate desire,
And resolute endeavor,
Now-now to sit never,
By the side of the pale-faced moon,
Oh, the bells, bells, bells.
What tale their terror tells
OF despair
How they clash, and clang. and roar!
What horror they outpour
On the bosom of the palpitating air :!
Yet the ear, it fully knows,
By the twanging
And the changing,
How the danger ebbs and flows;
Yet the distinctly tells,
In the jangling
And the wrangling,
How the danger sinks and swells, bells,
By the sinking the swelling in the anger Of the
0fthe bells
OF the bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells
In the clamor and the clangor of the bells
Hear the tolling of the bells
Iron bells lpels
What world of solemn thonght their monody com
In the silence of the night,
How We shiver with alright
AT the melancholy menace of their tone!
For every sound that floats
From the rust within their throats
Is groan.
And the people, ah, the people
They that dwell up in the stceplc,
All alone,
And who, tolling, tolling,
In that mufled monotone,
Feel glory in SO rolling
On the human heart stone
They ale neither man nor woman
They are neither brute nor human
They are Ghouls-
And their king it is who tolls -
And he rolls, rolls, rolls,
paan from the bells
And his merry bosom swells
With the p&an of the bells
And he dances and he yells;
Keeping time, time, TINA,
In a sort of Runic rhyme;
To the psean of the bells
Of the BELLS
Keeping time. time. time,
In q sort of Runic rhyme,
To the sobbing of the bells:
