SECESSION POETRY. "A Richmond paper of
late date contains a frantic poem, the last verse
being
Hurrah! Hurrah he CLEANS in sight,
It fires the brain TO see
How the proud spoler flashes bright
In wars CAV panoply!E
We'll show him that our fathers brands
For rust nor time can stay,
With tramp and shouts bold hearts and hands,
Up, freemen, and away! -, rs
The Wheeling Intelligencer says the last line
was probably sung when they got up and busted
various other places It is based on that line OF
the poet which reads: "W no would be free
himself must keep out Of danger"

A NJ e r &c AN WATCH E S
FOR AMERICANS!
No More English or French Rubbish, made
to sell, but not to keep time.

Why should an American buy q foreign Watch,
when he can get better and cheaper one at home!
Why should an American needlessly enrich
foreign Watch manufactures at the expense of our
own artisans!
Why should an American senG gold 10 Eng land
and France, our covert but bitter enemies, when
gold is so much needed at home?
Why should an American buy an imported
Watch, which, In nine cases out of ten, Will cost
more TO keep order for ne year. than Its origi-
nal price, and which was never intended to keep
time under any circumstances?
Why should Americans not patronize more
generally American manufactures, aud thus eman-
crpate themselves from the thraldom of English
capital, French fashions, and Continental gev-
gewz?
The Amencsn Watch Company's Watches are
particularly adapted for soldiers uss, being most
substantially made, and not liable to get out of
order, eather In marching, riding, or fighting.

A COntraban nd i'm wall street.

Yesterday afternoon very black individual
belonging TO that class of beings commonly des-
ignated "contrabands," made his appearance at
an Office in Wall street, and told woiul tale
about his troubles. He confessed that he was
from Wilmington, n. c., which place he had
been induced to leave, and subsequently was in
duced. by plausible stories, to visit the North.
a paradise of freedom, where work was to be had
in abundance, and fabulous sums would be given
for labor. He made his way to this city in a Gov
eminent vessel or otherwise but instead of find
ing plenty and freedom. he was encountered with
cool indifference wherever he applied for assist
ance. He professed to be cooper by trade. and
said that he could find no employment here, end
weary seeking for aid and comfort. The
"bosses" told him that they dare not give him
work, because all their white hands would in
stantly leave them in disgust. Coming to the
conclusion that Northern freedom and equality
are all CANNON, he only asked for little assist
ance to get back to Wilmington once more, where
he expected at least to get enough to eat and
drink-N. Y. Herald.

sharp speculation-auick Instinct.

The New Englanders are provcrbial for keen
noses-never lose sight of the main chance. The
almighty dollar to their eve CLEANS through the
black clouds of the public calamity The Boston
Trareler, a good, old fashioned tariff for \ ew
England protection paper, devises a wondrOus Sc
ductive plan for paying the interest on our ma
tional debt:
The goods of the rebels ought to suffice to
pay the interest on the public debt for ten years
TO come; and at the end OF that time the indirect
revenue of the country, derived from fair tariff
OF duties on imports would suffice to meet nearly
all our expenditures We should make the men
who have created the debt pay at least the half OF
it, and so we shall do unless the country has lost
Its senses.
The meaning of this Is, that the present enor-
nous tariff shall remain, whereby the West il
20 pay nearly all our national expenditures,
and at the same time both free New England OF
auy tax at all and sustain her manufactures a;
our own cost. This is very happy Yankee
thought
Now, we propose something perfectly fair As
Massachusetts, aud her immediate sisters brought
on the war. and as Illinois and her immediate
sisters are fighting it for them is it not plainly
fair that we should be relieved of nearly all the
expenditure" which We pay through the tariff and
which they do not share in, only 10 be enriched
by it. and that they should pay tax 'lor ten
years while we paw no tariff This is a fu
more liberal proposition than the 7rGUeller's foI
ne proposes TO make Us pay all the Government
expenses perpetuaily. besides supporting New
England by tariff exactiOn. Besides, il come:
precisely up 10 his iIea in this. that 1--WE should
make the men pay who have created the debt. -

for courage ever since. He impaired il little
at Bull Run, where he made the fastest time re-
corded. He ran towards Washington against a
crazy bullock that had broken loose from herd
and beat the bullock by several hides If he
don't thrash vallandigham now, Ben will lose his
reputation for bravery entirely. He has an ad.
versary whose fighting qualities are of high or

trouble, but it must be done, else Benjamin
