LIEUTENANT BRAINE.-Amongst the most bril-
liant achievements Of our officers in the cam
paign thus far, the conduct Of Lieutenant
Brainc. in the recent affair at Hatteras Inlet oc-
cupies foremost place. To the judgment,
skill and promptness which he displayed in the
management OF his vessel is owing the preser-
vation of the Twentieth Indiana regiment,
which must have been cut off by the rebels but
for his timely aid II is to be regretted that
the rules Of the service, which only allow pro-
motion by seniority, will not permit the Depart
ment to confer on Lieutenant Braine some sub
stantial mark Of its appreciation. In the army
conduct like his would be rewarded by brevct
rank; but in the navy that mode Of pro-
motion is not recognized. We have 10
doubt that Lieutenant Braine is satisfied hy
the glory which he has won by his gal
lantry; but the country would be better pleased
if il were in the power of the Department to
give him immediate promotion to another
grade. We trust that, in view Of the important
and dangerous duties in which our navy will be
henccforth constantly employed, Congress will
lake steps 10 remedy this inequality in the re-
wards of NJ two services, Amongst the first

The Two Watcnwords.

A cry from the South, - Secession sedition,
Scream of Fury to startle the night,
Ruthless contention, and reckless ambition,
Hatred of rule, and destruction of right
Tyrannous pride, and lust of oppression,
Wicked defiance of reassn and law
This, o fal Sc Southerner this is Secession, y
Yilest of treasons the world ever saw
A voice from the North, long suffering in sad
ness,
The grief of an angel to darken the day;
Calmly rebukipg the popular madness,
Slowly determined that hydra to slay
Order, and pesee, and social communion,
Law had in honor, obedience to rule;
This is the NortheTner's watchwcrd of Union. =
Noblest oflessons in loyalty's school!
Which ofthese twain should an Englishman IA
Yor,
Cosmos or chaos. the right or the wrong
Slavery's curse, o foul of i'll SAVIOR,
Or blessed Freedom, that bird Of sweet song I?
Which of these twain will Providence, guiding
Lead to the haven of national might
Joy to thee, Northerner, justly confding
Woe to the Southerner, ruin'd outright

SELECTED POETRY.
The Human Heart.

The human heart-no mortal eve
Hath seen its strings lay bare,
A beauty and a mystery
Is all that resteth there.
In love, how silently twill brood
Ger feelings ur coEfessed-
A bird that feeds in solitude
The younglings Of its nest!
Its hate is like volcanic fire
We reck not of its wrath,
Till bursts the lava of its ire
Around its scorching path
It's friendship! oh, the blessed seeds
1t strews in times dark bowers,
That spring through misery's bitter weeds,
To crown life's cup with flowers
The hearts despair what simile
Portrays its gloom Alright J?
1t is The hell of memory
UnutterIble night!
Its holiness-a tree whilome
Eternity supplies,
And flocking to its branches come
The birds of Paradise
In every human change the hrart
Is but living Tyre,
Where each fixed passion plays its part
Upon separate wire
But harsh and wild the tone will be
While passion round them clings;
1t never breathcs true melody
Till God has touched the strings!

TIE rejecting men of England are con-
centrating their thoughts on the American
question; all classes discuss it, and it is
the general theme of conversation wherev-
er men gather together. Each newspaper
has its leaders, and each member of Par
lament has his fling at the bubble burst

given by Henry Wood, Esq the large an

head at the Westminster Palace Hotel,
this all-absorbing subject, the American
question, was the feature Of the entertain

eloquent speech. Mr.. Bel, the builder of
the Warrior, Mr.. Gladstone. and a distin-
euished gentleman from Georgia, who re-
Gently left that State for his Union senti-
ments, and several other gentlemen joined
in the animated debate between the En-
| clish, the Scotch, and the Americans. Mr..
! George Francis Train, whose strong Union
sentiments have so often been recorded in
these columns, created some excitement by
his attack on England's unmanly course in
! this rebellion, and some of his structures
were emphatically denied by some of the
gentlemen present-the chairman espec-
| ially-who asserted that he knew there
was the most friendly feeling in this coun-
! try towards America.
Some extracts from Mr.. Trains speech
will show the warmth of this debate.
