ENGLAND AND THE SOUTHERN BLoCKADE.-A
Paris letter. in the New York Commercial says {:
"Iou arc publishing in the United States Il
statement, or the repetition of a statement. to
the effect that up to near the time when the
Emperor Napoleon delivered his speech at the
opening OF the Chambers, the French govern
ment was disposed to declare the blockade of the
Southern ports inefficient, and urged upon the
English government q combined action to that
effect, bu' that thc English government opposed
such course, and at the asst moment prevailed
upon The Emperor to support in his speech the
doctrine OF non-irteryentlon. There is every
reason TO believe that there is not one word of
truth in this statement. and that it was manu-
featured in England for the benefit of the Eng
lish government. A consultation took place be-
tween the two governments previous to the open
ing Of the French Chambers and the English
Parliament, to see what we're the views of each
government on the subject, so as no, if possible
to utter conflicting doctrines; and it appears
that the views OF both governments exactly co.
NEEDED, and that there was no discussion at ALL !"

..I,m Union, but mo Abolitionist.,


The st. Louis Ercaiag Ne,cs, which
has to deal ia its locality with rebels,
as we'll as sympathizers with rebels, talks
as follows to both classes:
Pin a covert rebel to the wall, he will
try to escape by exclaiming-"I' m
Union, but no Abolitionist. Such
cant is all balderdash. You are rebel,
sir, and you know it, but too cowardly
Z to avow what you conceal in your heart.
No one has accused you Of being an
Abolitionist, unless rebel and abolition
are Synonymous terms, but you are ac-
cused of being a traitor, and to escape
that odium you plead not guilty to
another and very different accusations
It is high time that men of intellie
gence should drop this species Of special
pleading, and offer some more tangible
excuse-for it is nothing but an excuse
for their disloyalty. When you re-
sort to such subterfuge, it is evident the
treason is in you. An honest confess
ION is not only good for the soul, but
under all circumstances, better than a
lie. To attempt thus to play off on
Union men only excites .heir contempt
of your duplicity. In word, you are
as bad as the Pharisee who rested his
claims, not. upon his own merits, but
upon the. fact that he was net assbad as
somebody else. Far better confess
your sin, like the Publican, and ask to
be,forgiyen- ON your own merits, than
! to base your claim upon the eowardly
hypothesis that Abelitlonists are worse
than you.

EN-. Nelson Made to mark Time.

Gen. Nelson Made to Mark Time.
Occasionally some of the shrewd pri-
Yates get and use IN opportunity to cut
the feathers of pompous officers which
always affords merriment to the whole
camp. In fact, officers who clothe them
selves with unapproachable dignity, and
say either by word OF action, l am Cen
eral, or l am Colonel, or when "slightly
riled,' by God, I'll let you know 1 am
Captain of Company A, or B, or G, be-
come targets for rear rank victims. I
cannot better illustrate this than by tell
ing an anecdote which happened at
Camp 10. Holt. | tell it as it was told
to me. The camp guards after night
are instructed to allow no one to pass in
or out without giving a countersigu, and
to retain as prisoners those who come
from outside to the lines without it.
General Nelson came to one of the
guards, one evening, just after the coun
tersign had been given out, and held
something like the following:
Guard-Halt, who comes there?
| General-I am Gen. Nelson, COM
manding this army.
| Guard don't care a damn; mark
! time, march. Corporal of the guard,
No. l, Cooking his piece.)
Gen.-(Commencing to mark time
slowly) You God damn fool, I'll have
you punished like hell.
| Guard-I don't care a damn; if Nc
Clellan was here without the counter
sign, he should mark time till the COR
poral comes Quick time, march.
Gen.-(Swearing and sweating.) Let
me rest.
Guard-No stree, mark time.
By this time the news had spread like
wild6re through the camp, that one of
the guards had General Nelson out at
post No. l, marking time, and half of
the regiment was collected on the side,
enjoying the joke hugely. The Corpo-
raj was very slow in coming, and every
time Nelson would slacken speed the
guard would cock his gun, aud COM
mand him to mark time.
By the arrival of the Corporal the
Generals rage had so far subsidized, that
he, too, began to enjoy the humorous
side of the joke.

"MISSING."
By ELEANOR c. DoNNEKLY.


In the cool, sweet hush of wooded nook,
Where the May buds sprinkle the green old
- = ground, 90
And the wind and the birds, and the limpid
Ffs brook
Murmur their dreams with drowsy sound:
Who lies so still in the plushy moss,
With his pale cheek pressed to breezy pill
low,
Couched where the light and shadows cross
Through the fickeriag fringe of the willow!
Who lies, alasl
50 stiu, so chill, in the whispering grass?
A soldier clad in the Zouave Dress
A bright haired man, with his lips apart
One hand thrown up DER his frank, dead face,
And the other clutching his pulseless heart
Lies there il. the shadows, cool and dim,
His musket brushed by a trailing bough;
With a careless grace in his quiet limbs,
And o wound on his manly brow;
A wound, alas;
Whence the warm blood drips on the pleasant
grass.
The violets peer from their dusky beds,
With a fearful dew in their great pure eyes
The lilies culver their shining heads;
Their pale lips full of a sad surprise;
And the lizard darts through the glist ming fern
And thesquirrel rustles the branches hoary
Strange birds fly out with cry, to bathe
.sega Their wings in the sunset glory;
While the shadows pass
Ger the quiet face on the dewy grass.
God pity the bride who waits at home,
. With her lily cheeks and her violet eyes,
Dreaming the sweet, old dream of love,
While the lover is walking in Paradise;
God strengthen the heart as the days 60 by,
And the long, dreary nights Of her vigil fol-
low;
Nor bird, nor moon, nor whispering wind
May brea the the tale of the hollow
Alas. alas!
The secret is safe with the woodland grass!
