THE ORPHAN BOY.

Stay, lady, stay, for mercy's sake,

I'm sure my looks must pity wake.
'T'is grief that makes ne look so pale;

And my poor fathers hope and JOY.
But in the Niles proud fight he died,
And left me poor orphan boy.

Wnen news OF Nelson's victory came,
Along the crowded streets to fly,
And see the lighted windows fame;
To force me home my mother sought,
She could not bear to see my JOY,
For with my fathers blood twas bought,
And left me poor orphan boy
The peoples shouts were long and loud,

Rejoice Rejoice" !" hurraed the crowd,
Nv mother answered with her tears.
"Ah why do tears steal down your cheek?'
Cried l. ''while others shout for Joy :"
She kissed me, and in accents weak
She called me her poor orphan boy.
What is ap orphaa boy ?" said.
When suddenly she gasped for breath;
When her eyes closed, flew for aid;
Alas they closed in death.

But know no more a parents joy;

"Monday."
"Then on Monday morning wewlll come,

With many flourish, amidst the gay
est Jokes, George wrote out solemn con
tract, by which they bound themselves to
ask no service of any kind at womap's

Minnie went into the library for smoke,
to prepare them for the Herculean task
before them.
"See, we are SAFE" said George, pro-

friends Of Slavery can eA,ort from il lIe as
suranco lhat ut present, Mr. Lmco n has no pur-
pose Of interfering B ih the mater d renqth Of
rebellion SO far as that strength is derived from
Slavery. II he had compressed his letter untoa
single sentence, aud said that so far as Slavery
was concerned be had done, ana should do,
what, on the whole he deemed best, the letter
would have been just as explicit as, and no more
dubious than, it now is
The President may be entirely right in relu-
sing to strike any more decisive blows against
slavery than he has yet done, and all those who
argue that the support, origin and main stay of
treason should be assaied directly may be all
wrong, but we submit it would have beenmuch
more to the purpose to have given some reason
why he did one thing and RETAINED from doing
another, other than his ogn Judgment in the
premises. There are some facts which we sup
pose have influenced Mr. Lincoln, and what the
public would be glad to know is what these
facts are II these facts make it clear that sla-
very should not be ntcrlered with, they ought
to be known, and would furnish the highest
justification for letting it alone, and suffering
events to shape themselves and the best answer
to Mr.. Greeey's complaints would have been
these facts. Mr.. Lincoln, however does n rest
upon facts at all for his Justification, but writes
apparently only with the purpose Of informing
Mr.. Greeley that he shall do just as he pleases,
and means to act honestly
If Mr. Lincoln suppo.es that any such die
tum as this will stop any further discussion of
the questions of emancipation and the enforce
ment Of the confiscation law Of last session, he
will doubtless soon see his mistake. The peo-
pie are getting in earnest about prosecuting the
war against treason IN the most vigorous way
possible, and are becoming united in the opn-
ion that slavery has hitherto been dealt with
much too tcnderly. And they have not such
unlimited confidence in any man as to accept
his ipse dixt as final, and as shutting the door
upon all further discussion, They Will be heard
until the press shall be muzzled and the gag
placed upon the right Of petition, and we don t
believe there is any danger that such an order
will be issued Just yet.

Negi rs Fighting for Freedom.

corresII lent Of She New York Hrald,
writing from V Orleans on the 5th inst, says
" Yesterdl morning we had lltte skirmish
with some III armed negroes who were seek
ing their ire BON. they came from the plauta-
lions Of Med Morgan and Walker, about
thirty miles swn the coast. They arrived in
the city at ~ IN the morning. and as they
were marchiag up the leyee, when near the
French MARIO they were ordered by four po-
lcemen to hl and on refusing to do 50 the
policemen Attempted to arrest them and called
for aid A lumber Of other policemen soon ar
rived, and nanellately serious fight ensued,
the negroes bslg armed with sugar cane knives
They were gAmg the best Of the policemen
when four soldiers Of the 10Th Maine regiment
came to their id. when, after a struggle, in
which the neeves fought desperately, the po
licemen and suiers were victorious.
One negro kls killed, nine wounded and six
taken prisonta. Five Of the police were pretty
badly woundei The negroes said they were
armed only to ysst any attempt on the road to
return them slavery.
There can bno question but that the police
men did thet ioty in arresting any band of
armed men, whether black or white but if GUS
tom had not nade it "a law in this State for
planter tolpat twenty-five dollars for every run
away negro arrested by policeman, | doubt il
they would have been 50 Jealous in performing
their duty "
New Orlean., to all ntents and purposes, IS
now as much Federal city as Washington. 1t
is under the military authorities of the United
States, and is governed by Gen. Butler in viz
tue of the United States lorces that he has I'M
der his commanl Such an act, then. as the
one mentioned by this correspondent, is the act
Of the United States army in fact, however by
nice casuistry itmay be attempted to be shown
that it is anything different The military au-
thorty in the ely Of New Orleans is thus en-
gagged IN the violent purpose OF restoring to
Slavery persons seeking their freedom. Is the
time never coming in this war when men North
and South, white and black, are to be treated
only AS war groups them, and to be divided
only into two great classes, those who are striv-
ing 10 tear down the flag Of our Nationality,
and those who are not And must the Go ern
ment continue 10 waite its strength in attempts
to preserve Slavery? When the Government
concludes to 20 ahead in this war with the sin
gle purpose Of putting down rebellion in the
shortest posslbl, time, it will learn that trait
ors have hithertl gained immense strength from
the undisurbed use OF slaves thus far in the
