Scotch Argument ON Mdrriase.

Jenny is poor, and l am poor,
Yet we will wed-so say no more;
And should the barnies to us come,
As few that wed, but do have some,
No doubt but heaven will stand our friend,
And bread, as well as children send.
So fears the hen in farmers yard,
To live alone she finds it hard;
Pre known her weary every claw.
In search of corn among the straw,
But when in search of nicer food,
She clucks among her chirping brood,
With joy we see the selfsame hen
That scratched for once, could scratch for ten.
These are the thoughts that make me willing
To take my girl without shilling;
And for the self same cause. you see,
Jenny resolved to marry me.

The Cottage by the Sea.

Childhood's days now pass before me,
Forms and scenes of long ago,
Like dream they hover Ger me,
Calm and bright as evenings glow;
Days that knew no shade of sorrow,
When my young heart, pure and free,
Joyfully hailed each coming morrow,
In the cottage by the sea.
Fancy sees the rose-trees twining
Round the old and rustic door,
And, below, the white beach shining,
Where l gathered shells Of yore: -
Hears my mothers gentle warning,
As she took me on her knee;
And feel again life's morning,
In the cottage by the sea.
What though years have rolled above me,
Though mid fairer scenes l roam,
Yet l ne'er shall cease to love thee,
Childhood's dear and happy homei
And when life's long day is closing,
Oh, how pleasant it would be,
On some faithful breast reposing,
In the cottage by the sea!

The shades of night were falling fast.
As through Southern village passed
A youth, who bore, not over nice,
A banner with the gay device,

His hair was red his toes beneath
Peeped, like an acorn from its sheath,
While with frightened voice be sung
a burden strange to Yankee tongue,

Might warm his tod or hominy;
Beyond the Cordilleras stone,
And from his lips escaped groan,

At break of day, as several boys
From Maine, New York and Illinois,
Were moving Southwark, in the air,
They heard these accents of despair,

A bottle showing how he died,
Still grasping in his hand of ice,
That banner with the strange device,

Considerably played out he lay;
And through the vapor, gray and thick.

What the Rebel Papers Say.

The Richmond papers of September 13
and IA, are jubiant at the idea of the in-
vasion of Maryland, and indulge in all sorts
OF speculation on that subject. They look
upon the occupation of Baltimore and upon
an inroad into Pennsylvania as a probable
fact, and place an entire reliance upon the
loyalty of Maryland. The Richmond H.
lsstrated Neaos says that Frederick county
has already supplied the Confederate army
with brigade and one hundred and fifty
cavalry men, and that the adjoining coun-
ties are ready to do as much. The MAJORS
ty of the rebel Press look upon Gen. LEES
plan as calculated not only to bring the
North to its senses, by retaliating upon
Northerners the deeds which have been
perpetrated upon Virginia soil by the Fed.
erals, but as means of providing the Con-
federate army with men, ammunitions of
war, and clothing, Of which they have the
greatest need.

Washingt0n's Opinion of Northern
and Southern Soldiers.

The following is an extract from an un.
published letter from General Washington
to Mr.. Lund Washington, dated at New
York, June 18th, 1776:
We have lately had general review, and
1 am much pleased in informing you that we
made better appearance and went through
our exercises more like soldiers than I had
expected.
The Southern STATES are rash and blam-
able in the judgment they form of their
brethren OF the four New England States.
| do assure you, with all my partiality for
my own countrymen and prejudices against
them, cannot but consider them as the
flower OF the American army. They are a
strong, vigorous and hardy people, Injured to
labor and toll, which our people seldom are /;
and though our bot and eager spirits may
suit better in a sudden and desperate enter
prise, yet in the way in which wars are now
carried on, you must look for permanent adj
vantages only from that patient and perse.
vering temper which is the result of labor.
The New Englanders are cool, consider
ate and e:lsible, while we are all fire and
fury. Like their climate, they maintain an
equal temperature, whereas we cannot shine
bat We burn. They have uniformity and
q stability of character to which the people
of no other State have any pretensions !;
hence, they must and will always preserve
their influence in this great empire. Were
it not for the drawbacks and disadvantages
which the influence tf their popular opinion
on the subject of government have on their
army, they soon might, and probably would,
give law to it.

Gen. McClellan's Entrance into Frederick

A correspondent of The World who witt
messed it, thus describes the reception OF
Gen. Nc Clellan by the army upon his en-
trance into Frederick City:
The column had halted moment to rest
before entering the city of Frederick. The
wide turnpike was filed with soldiers, and
another colu mn was moving through the
fields upon the side of the road. Presently
pike, above which large American flag
was seen waving. The soldiers knew is
significance, and at once the name Of Gen
eral Mcclellan was in every mans mouth =.
Quietly and eagerly each Man seized his
musket, and the Middle OF the wide turn
pike was cleared to give passage to their
favorite general. Presently be commences
to ride rapidly through the open ranks with
his head uncovered, when such shout and
yell is raised as l never heard before. i
was no ordinary shout, but one so sponta~
neous, so irrepressibe. so pregnant with
feeling, that am sure | never heard the
ike before. Every fibre in every man
seemed to tiDgle With admiration. Every
soldier seemed devotee, a hero worshipper,
and General Mcclellan was their hero.
They were for the time all Frenchmen, and
never, l believe did the "Vive PEmpereur p
rise with such an animated enthusiasm as
did the shouts of the army OF the Potomac
when their leader passed to the front, about
to enter the town of Frederick. Never
have | witnessed admiration and confidence
so manifest, SO all pervadirg. He was an
admiration which might almost seem like
alteration.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-Capt. David,
of General Bufords staff, arrived to-lay
from Frederick, and says he never saw SO
heartfelt reception rendered to General
Mcclellan, as he entered that city. Over
Eve thou1 and citizens welcomed him, and
hailed him as their deliverer. Even seces.
sionists, disgusted by their experience of the
rebel army, expressed but one fear, and
that was that the federa'1 might not posi-
bly be able to hold the city. When the
general arrived at the crossing of Main
and Patrick streets, he was forcibly taken
from his horse by number of ladies, and
by them carried short distance, so over-
joyed were they to see him, and with an
army for their protection from the rebel
hordes. There exists strong Union senti-
ment in Maryland, and Captain David says
there can be no doubt of it. After the
rebel army had lett, and the federal army
bad entered the city, farmers came in vol
unfairly from all sections of the country
around and gave information as to the
whereabouts of the codfederates. That
was more to the point, end the best evil
dence that could be given of their Union.
ism, they told the truth in every instance.
Capt. Davids statement was corroborated
by one of the correspondents OF the press,
who was present.
