The Rebellion.

A year ago the War had bat just CON-
menced. We bad been e~mphatically a
pesce-lOving people. We were less pre-
pared for War than any other nation
We had no great standing army; 70 arms
puitable for carrying on a warfare accord
ing to The modern system; no munitions.
Our navy was scattered in all the a
We had few officers possessing sufficient
military knowledge and experience 10
successfully plan a campaign, or TO man
age a large army on the battle-feld.-
The rebels had been secretly preparing
for The coming struggle for years. They
had t~wo-thIrds of the Government arms
sent to the extreme South. When the
rebellion was precipitated on the country,
government officers lreacherOusly surren-
dered nearly all the forts, arsenals, and
custom- houses in the South. The conse-
quence was that for six months we made
no apparent progress. Reverses met our
armies both in the East and West
Many almost began to despair as to the
power of a Republican form Of Govern
menl to maintain its existence.
But during the summer, fall and winter
the government was sceumulating vast
quantities of munitions Of war; our foun-
deries we're going night and day manu-.
featuring ordinance; thousands of the
best cannon were brought from Europe
clothing, provisions, and means for rams
portation for an army of half a million Of
soldiers were provided : our soldiers were
subjected 10 a drill and discipline that
converted them from a mere mob into the
finest army in the world. We now be-
gin 10 see the results. We have retaken
nearly half the forts that were surreD-
dsred a year ago. The cOnfederates
have been driven from Missouri, Ken
lucky, and half of Arkansas, Tennessee,
Virginia and North Carolina; we have
possession Of half the coast from Chesa-
peak Bay to the mouth Of the Mississippi;
the Mississippi River has been opened
with The exception of a few forts in the
vicinity of Memphis. Tie rebel papers
are beginning to raise a moan of dispair.
They advise their patrons to invest their
Confederate scrip in real estate before
it becomes entirely worthless. They
have almost entirely ceased their bOast-
ing; they charge their defeats first on to
one General and then on to another
Some Of them openly admit that their
case is almost hopeless. A week ago
they were going to risk everything on
the two great baules-one at Yorktown.
the other at Corinth. Now, however,
they have abandoned Yorktown, a point
of more strategetical Importance than any
we have obtained since the War CON-
menced ; and, if the fears of the Mem
phis papers should prove true, Beauregard
is hesitating whether 10 evacuate COrinth,
or 10 risk the loss Of the Mississippi Val
ley by a hopeless battle with Halleck
against a greatly superior force.

THE BEACON, OR LIGHTHOUSE
Tho scene was more beautiful far to my eye,
Than If day in its pride had array'dit
The land breeze blew mild, end the azure archd sky
Look'd pure as the spirit that made it.
The murmur rose soft as silently gaz'd
On the shadowy waves playful motion,
From the dim distant isle, til the beaconfre baz'd
Like star in the midst of the ocean.
No longer the JOY of the sailor boy'sbreast,
washeard in his wildly breath'd numbers;
The sea bird had flown to her wave e-grdle nestj
The fisherman sunk to his slumbers:
One moment look d from the hills gentle slope,
(All hush'd was the billows' commotion)
And thought that beacon look'd lovely as hope,
That star of life's tremulous ocean.
The time is long past, and the scene is afar;
Yet, when my head rests on its pillow,
Will memory sometimes rekindle the star
That blazed on the breast Of the billow
In lifes closing hour when the trembling soul flies
And death stills the hearts last emotion;
o.! then may the scraph of mercy arise.
Like star on eternity's ocean

We have heard a good story, told by
son Of Erin's Isle, which is worth re-.
peatng:
Some two years ago there was quite a
struggle between two certain prominent
Democrats of Weaverville, as to which
should go as delegate to the State Con.
vention. The evening prior to holding
the County Convention, Judge NJ
and Squire J., each had ballots
printed, with the names of their friends
upon them. The Judges delegates were
beaten, and before retiring he consoled
himself by loading his hat with bricks
Next morning, in good season; acting up
on the principle that "a hair of the dog
is good for the bite" just as he called
for the decoction, Billy McBlarney step
ped into the saloon and saluted the Judge,
when the following dialogue cnsued:
"The top O. the morning to ye Judge.
And the murtherin' thaves bate US in.

GOOD moring, Billy. Yes the Squire
was rather heavy. But | say, Billy, !
