Presentation to the President
WASHINGTON, April I, 1862.

ASHING1ON, ApTll - 1CO4'
Representative Mcpherson will to-
morrow present cane to the President,
made BY John Hawkes., an ingenius me-
chanic of Scranton, Pa.
The cane was originally a cedar stick,
with a crooked top and number of
branches. The top has been converted
into an American eagle, with life-llke
bill. Under Its throat is the national
shield, with the words inscribed thereon,
Union forever" The eagle grasps ID
his talons JEFF. Davis by the seat of the
breeches. Below him on each side, is a
cannon-the arbuer of our national diff
culties. On the other side is lion in
full spring, with rattleSnake near by
Below the lion comes a goat, in the act of
leaping; and a buck and doe, at full
speed, follow him. A fox is springing
between them and then comes an eagle,
grasping a winged serpent with human
head. The serpent of the rebellion, with
five tails, human headed, is next in order;
then a gold finch; yellow bird with
blue tail large turtle; sua!l alliga-
Tor, anu an adder. Next is an owl grfsp-
ing a snake, followed BY another alliga-
ter. Then comes a Union dragoon,
mounted, and in the act OF charging on
the enemies of his country. By his side
is goat, rampant a monkey with tail
twisted around limb, next appears,
holding JEFF. Davis by the hair Of MS
head with one claw, and grasping the
Union flag staff with the other, thus
showing that, dumb brute as lie Is, he
knows enough to hold up the stars and
stripes, and in the meanwhile punish a
traitor Uncle Sam, with eagle face and
cap surmounted by stars and stripes,
grapples John Bull by the horn, who in
turn is pinchipg MS lions tail to excite
his rage, but the lion takes it quite cool,
ly on bis launches. Next is a grizzly
bear ''sqpatted on his hunkers ;" then a
cur, a blue bird, and rabbit in full
bound. On the side opposite the latter
is the final figure, an American sailor,
holding a musket on one side, while he
grasps the stars and stripes in the other,
and stands erect on the crushed Serpeat
of Rebellion
This cane has most of the figures on it
not only carved, but painted to the life
the body of the stick being black. It
is the product of the leisure hours of

Scranton, Pa, who is noted for his me-
chanical ingenuity,

The Old Flag.

1t will crafty many to learn that the
Stars and Stripes again float over the
tomb of the old hero who so emphatically
declared that "the Union must and shall
be preserved" An army correspondent
of the Indianapolis Journal writes from
camp Andrew Jackson, few days since,
as follows
"Y Yesterday Gen. Nelson made a recon
nOisSauce in force towards Lebanon He
took with him the second Calvary, three
batteries of artillery and five regiments OF
infantry. Our regiment led the advance
guard. We were obliged to leave two
batteries about four miles from camp, in
consequence of the bridges being too
riekety to risk their going over in safety
We went as far as the Hermitage" the
former residence of Andrew Jackson AS
we approached the sacred spot, the band
of the Thlrly-Sixth Indiana played Ma
tional air. Gen. Nelson halted the column
and the Stars and Stripes were planted
over the tomb of Jackson. and the Harris
battery fred a salute of sixteen guns. To
comment on the ceremonies of the occa-
sion would be useless, as all who know
the history of the "hero of New Orleans
can readily imagine the feelings of the
troops while standing before the tomb of
Jackson. Gen. Nelson and staff were H.
vited into the mansion, aud remained
some time"

Pilleu and Floyd have mutually swoFD
vengeance, and are now very careful to
keep apart. When they seem about to
meet, one sheers of one way, and the
other the opposite way. They cut each
other with pair of sheers.
The Richmond Rebels are sending
away their whisky and tobacco. They
will follow soon, of course.
They rebels have fed from Skidaway
Island, near SavanDah-glad to scpd away
from Skidaway.

GIRLS IDEAS OF MEN-At sixteen +
girl considers no man good enough to be
her husband. She must have a real, live
archangel, with "humid CRIBS, ''marblc
brow" ou which "cluster wavy tresses,
black as the ravens wing" moustachs
of silken softness, aud ebony hue; in 3
word, no human being of flesh and blood
qualities, but an altogether sweet and
lovely and ideal creation, in purple and
linen, and no small vices. Unfortunate,
ly, no such person exists. He is pleas
ant myth of the butter thunder school of
romance, and has no material form in this
world of corner lots, dry goods and gag
bills. At eighteen, the girl discovers
that unwhoiesome truth, and changes her
view accordingly. She is probably m
love by that time, with some decent look
ing aud sensible young fellow, who though
hardly an arehangel, does very wen TO
idealize. Then it must be a great man.
a Judge Of the Supreme Cout; great
general would be very acceptable Che.
President Of the United States would be
just the thing; or foreign prince or
Count might find welcome if geuuine.-
But Tom or Harry Utterly refuses to be-
come either q judge, a general, prssi-
dent, or foreign uobleman. He remains
good looking, penDiless, and clever, and
the aspiring young lady loves him as
mach as ever.
Finally, when the affair is settled, she
veds him at twenty, settles down into an
excellent matron, and enjoys her life; or
breaks her heart, and marries & tallow-
chandler, bald, but wealthy, at twenty-five,
and regrets il at her leisure Such is>the
general history of nlaidens who set forth
with an idea of marrying nothing short of
a novelesque hero.

THE BATTLE.
By SCHILLER.

Heavy and solumn,
A cloudy column,
Thro' the green plain they marching came!
Measureless spread, like table dread,
For the wild grim dice of the iron game.
The looks are bent on the shaking ground,
And the heart beats loud with kuelling sound;
Swift by the breasts that must bear the brunt,
Gallops the Major along the front
Halt ~
And fettered they stand at the stark command,
And the warriors, silent, halt
Proud in the blush ofmorning glowing,
What on the hilltop shines in flowing
See you the foeman's banners waving ~
Z" We see the foeman's banners wavingW
- God be with ye-children and wife -
Hark to the musc-the trump and the fife,
How they ringthro the ranks which they rouse
10 the strife
Thrilling they sound with their glorious tone,
Thrilling they 90 thro the marrow and boue
Brothers, God grant aohea this life is DER,
In the life to come that lce meet once more!
See the smoke how the lightning is cleaving
assunder
Hark the guns, peal on peal, how they boom
in their thunder!
From host to host with kindling sound,
The shouting signal circles round,
Ave, shout it forth TO life or death
Freer already breathes the breath
The war is raging, slaughter raging,
And heavy through the reeking pail,
The iron death dice fail!
Nearer they cIose-foes upon foes
Il. Dc, L. to I
Down on the knee they sank,
And the fire comes sharptrOm the foremost rank
Many a man to the earth is sent,
Many gap by the balls is rent
O'er the corpse before springs the hinder man,
That the line may not fail to the fearless van.
To the right, to the left, and around and around
Gods sunlight is quenched in the fiery fight
Over the host falls a brooding night
Brothers, God grant lchsFa this life is DER,
In tie life TO come that sre meet once more2
The dead men lie bathed in the weltering blood
And the feet, as they reelihg and sliding 20,
Stumble still on the corpses that sleep below.
What, Francis! - give Charlotte my las
farewell"
As the dyingman murmurs, the thunderS swell
"TlI give-O God! are the guns so near?

I'll give thy Charlotte thy last farewell
Sleep soft when death thickest descendett
in vain,
The friend thou forsakest thy side shallregain!'
/ Observation-Disclosures reels the fight,
. Dark and more darkly day glooms into night
! Brothtrs, God grant arhea this life is DER,
/ IN the lire TO come that ace meet once more
Hark to the hoofs that gaIloping go!
/ The Adjutants flying
The horsemen press hard on the painting foe
/ Their thunder hooms in dying
Victory!
| The terror has seized on the daStards all,
| And their colOrs fall
Victory
/ Closed in the brunt of the glorisus fight,
And the day, like conqueror bursts ON tht
night.
Trumpet and fife swelling choral along,
The triumph already sweeps marching in song
Fare,ceH, fallen brothers, fteugA this life be o'er
There's another IN 1chich sre actH meet you one

New BRIDGE AT NIAGARA FALLS

New BRIDGE AT NIAGARA FALLS
A new bridge is to be built on the Amer
lean side, leading to Goat Island. A draft
of he bridge is already completed, plans
aud specifications have already been
drawn, and the work is to be commenced
at the earliest practicable moment. The
question of title to the island in the river,
claimed as belonging to the Porter estate,
IS IN dispute. 1t is asserted that all the
islands which have never been surveyed,
in the river near to Goat Island, belong
to the Government.
The rebels having failed to lay in any
other crop, propose to lay their cities in
ashes.
