The NATIONAL SANITARY COMMISSION TO SAN

heir own story of the wonderment that took
possession of the National Sanitary Committee

The REBEL ARMY AND NAvY.-Tbe Richmond
Inquirer of late date thinks II provdentia that
the rebel Congress should have met just when it
did. That journal says:
"It is confronted at the threshold of its pro-
ceeding by no less fact than the rapid recruiting
of six hundred thousand troops by the public
enemy. to be used in addition to those already
invading the country. avowedly for its impover-
ishment and subugation and enslavement. To
repel this formidable power, II has in the field
less than three hundred thousand effective men /;
and measures must at once be taken to meet this
exigent state of affairs"
Speaking Of naval matters II says;
We are now, so far as the public Interests
will allow to be revealed even to Congress, with
out anything except that notable Secretary, Mr..
Mallory, a Navy Department. Navy Bureau
aud swarms of navy clerks, which the vast estab'
ishment of Great Britain would scarcely suffice
to keep employed. 1t has been proposed, through

What Constitutes a State D.?

The following poem was written by Sir William
Jones, a native of Lcndon, in l7S1. He was one OF
the most accomplished and remarkable men of his
age, and would have distinguished any era. As a
statesman, urst, philosopher and poet he was Justly
celebrated and his taste for bellies letters gave enthu
siasm to all his literary pursuits His prose was far
more elegant than any specimen of the Addisoniar
school, and everything from his pen gave evidences
of the most profound research. He at once an
earnest advocate of reforms, and stckler for law
and order. He stood up boldly for the rights of the
people, aud at time lost caste with the British
Government for his defence of the American. The
sentiment of the annexed ode was taken from frag.
nent attributed to Alceus, which prefaced the poem
when first published
What constitutes a State?
Not high raised battlement or labor'd mound,
Thick wall or motted gate;
Not cities proud, with spires and turrets crownd
Not bays and broad-armed ports,
Where, laughing at the storm. rich navies ride
Not starr'd and spangled courts,
Where IOwbrOwed business watts perfume to pride
No Men, high minded men,
With powers as far above dumb brutes endued
As beasts excel cold rocks and bramble rude;
hen who their duties know,
But know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain
Prevent the long .and blow,
And ccus, the tyrant, while they rend the chain;
THESE Constitute State,
And sovereign law, that Safes collected will,
Der thrones and globes elatc
Sits empires, cruwning good repres,ing i'll,
Snit by her sacred fIown
The fend, Di,sension, like a vapor sinks,
And cen the alldazzing crown
HIDES his FAINT rays, and at her bidding shrinks.
SIch was this heaven. loved isle,
Than Lesbos fairer than the Crctan shore!
No more shall freedom smile?
Shall BTt"ns languish nor be men no movs1
Since all must life resign,
Those sweet rewards which decorate the brave
'Tis folly TO decline.
Ahd steal inglorious to the silent grave.

never at fault, are the least he will except
at all events, this is his standard whilst the
present party remains in power.
Our secession sympathizers fear, too, that
our financial system is deplorably bad, and
that commercial ruin is sure to follow. He
ignores the fact that the Government stocks
are mostly above the par of bank currency,
and that even military reverses seem to
shake them but slightly. He would have a
gold currency instead but he forgets that
his own party, when in power, fastened on
us a commercial policy which sent our gold
to Europe, and which only now is in the
course of reformation which is to remedy
this defect
But, all this time, while this dubious pa
triot is discanting on the shortcomings of
the legal Government, you may observe
that he is extremely tender-footed when he
discourses Of the rebels. He has little or
40 censure for their crimes, their blundcrs
or their dishonesty. He cannot see their
fraudful doing at Richmond, where hungry
contractors swarm to rob even that misera-
BILE treasury which issues paper never to be
redeemed, where drunkenness and riot 90
unchecked and unpuniShed, and where the
worst men usurp the highest places. The
sympathizer cannot see the blunders and
reverses Of rebel officers. He likes to dwell
OH Manassas and Balls Bluff, but seldom
refers to Spring Mills, Donelson, Shiloh,
Port Royal, Memphis, or New Orleans
And yet, in the long catalogue of faults
or crimes which the sympathizer is pleased
to attribute to the loyal North, he Overlook>
one reproachful fact which is plainly percept-
ible to every candid observer, and that is,
that these free States should harbor in their
own bosom any man so stupid and so wick
ed as to justify, even by implication, re-
bellion so foul that even its friends admit it
had no provOcation, but was begun to ex-
tend and perpetuate the crime of human

MISCELLANEOUS.
Sympathy with Rebellion.

We have amongst us sympathizers with
rebellion. 1t would be strange if it were
not so. There were tories in our Revolu-
ton, and traitors in the last war with Bri-
tain, who supplied the enemies feet with
provisions from the shores of Maryland and
Nrginia-the sons of the latter being now,
perhaps, in Stuart's cavalry. 1t is not won
derful, that there should be such among us
now, doing their little best for the horrible
crime of revolt, without a cause, against
Gov .rnment better than any that ever be-
fore shed blessings on mankind.
But although it was to be expected that
such would be the case, we cannot but mar
vel at the extent of that moral obloquv
which shuts their ewes to the true character
OF the contest, and induces them to decry
the noble efforts which the loyal States are
putting forth to suppress the insurrection.
With this view they dwell with JUNCTION
upon various errors, deficiencies or misdo-
lngs, which they discern in the conduct of
the war. Their discourse infers that each
OF our generals should have the genius of
Hannibal or Napoleon, and each regiment
OF our levies should be of itself invincible.
Our rulers should also have not only per-
feet wid0m, but prcscience itself, so as to
render single campaign decisive against
whatever odds, and close a mighty war at
single blow. Unless these ends be sud
denly accomplished, your sympathizer III
slsts that the Government is derelict to its
duties, and should resign in favor of a Ger.
tain party he knows of, who would guide
the country safely through the perilous con
md
and harmony.
Our secession symrathizer is also rnucl
distressed by the prevalence of corruption
and venality among our public men, anC

versatlon with the venerable Gen Cass.
which we append:
vi told Gen. Cass that I had always ad-
mired and supported him as a Democrat.
but perhaps he would not regard me as a
Democrat now, as had pledged my sup
port to the present officers of the Govern
ment, and to all the war measures. He re-
piled, you are right The Government IS
right You young men must sustain il. ,
Invited thus to continue the conversation,

proclamation, and all The old patriot res
ponded promptly, so do l. After few
minutes spent in general conversation, he
came back to the proclamation again He
observed that whether or not the President
had the constitutional right to declare the
slaves free, the Presidents friends did not
strengthen the measure by claiming it to be
constitutional. Il do not deny, he said.
that there is that in the Constitution to
Justify the act but the circumstances of the
country clearly justify it. He did not fear
its effect in the South; he only hoped ii
would prove effectual He could not un
derstand how any old Democrat could have
any sympathy with the South, and he hoped
that If there are any persons in the North
who would ever consent to separation
they would not be permitted to have any
position or influence"
