Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson Past and
- Present Position

From an able communication signed GA
Southern Union Man" we extract the following
seathing remarks -
The gentleman whose name heads this article
was q candidate before the Charleston and Bal
timore Convention for the nomination for the
Presidency.
He had some friends in the South, with whom
he correspondent on this subject. The writer of
this has had the honor to read some of those
letters. The honorable gentleman asked the
votes of the Southern delegation on the ground
OF his firm adhesion to the constitutional rights
of the South, and his uncompromising opposi-
tion to the abolitionists (Should this letter
chance to fall into the hands of Mr.. Dickinson,
wish to say to him, as an apology for its pub
lication, ftH is .for, the good Of t4ecounty.')
He wrote letters to the Hon. Andrew Ewing,
j. S. Billings and others Of Nashville, Tenn,
avowing his earnest support of the Constitution
and all its guarantees. Mr. Dickinson calcula-
ted largely upon the vote of Southern Democrats
isfrm friend, Hon. Andrew Ewing, was chair
man of the Tennessee delegation. At Baltimore
the out-cropping of secession was too plain to
be misunderstood. Mr.. Dickinson saw no
chance to defeat the great and patriotic Doug
las before that convention. The delegation was
ioei'attie5, WHcl MI. IWlnS EcCelNeu u lelter
from Mr.. Dickinson, in which he said:-".Se-
cede from the Coace,,tioa and TwM 90 ,cith you."
The seeding delegation did not nominate Mr..
Dickinson. Ewing and other delegates went
home and proclaimed that dickinson advised
the secession"
In March, after the Inauguration, Mr.. Ewing
was asked to join the Union men, in meeting
in Nashville, He replied, II rant the North
tose that ice intend TO ght-Dchtnson is nth as.
will have nothing to do with Union meet
ihg'"' Notice the expression; "DIcKINsoN is
WITH us!" do not pretend to say that Dick
ihson was secessionist in March, 1861, but
he had left the impression that he was. Wheth-
or he was or not, he exerted strong influence
in favor of secession. There IS no telling scLat
a disappointed, ambitious c6Sce-secher ,eW do
This was his position. What is it now? He
now assumes new position. He has thrown
off the Democratic shackles of the Constitution
which be once said was the supreme law Of the
land. He ignores that instrument, and takes
strong ground for the 'higher lawism" of the
Abolitionists. He is no longer a Democrat, but

The Boy that fell in the Ranks of the Foe.

from inc L0tasr7tte journal.
The Boy that fell in the Ranks Of the Foe
He fell among my foes-O! God!
How blows like this will tell
And |! thought that they might spare
Whose cause loved so we'll
He's slain, my young and gallant boy,
In all his flush Of pride,
And woe is me the hand that smote
2 His father may not chide!
The blood they shed, alas, was mine
On those red battle plains! e
Ah more than priceless grown to me
within my boys young veins.
All me !Sthe sounding Of his step
never more shall hear, =
Nor his eye answer mine, nor yet
One tone relieve my tear. ua
What evil genius urged thee, boy,
Ito mingle in this strife? r5e
To offer ON Day foeman's fame
The incense of thy life?
All me! to know in thy death hour
What were thy thoughts'of me!
.fIwould, have died a thousand times,
My boy, to ransom thee!"
oh since the fearful tidings came
=, Old memories clamor round,
And sting the woe that else were dumb
To vent itself in sound.
Yet in'my country's virgin gold
fl1 am no dark alloy, i'}
Nor love thee, my country, less,
+! Because mourn my boy.

THE STONE BLOCKADE.


The London Times charactsrizss the obstruo-
lion of Oh harleston harbor q ian atrocious
crime but has not - yet given It's opinion on
rha, worldwide outrage by the rebels, in de.
Sroying the lighthouses on the coast. A
greater public crime than this was never COM
mitted by any civilized community, and the
numerous recent wrecks Of foreign vessels on
the Southern coast bear solemn and emphatic
testimony to this vanton act of warfare
against the whole world" The rebels assert
that the stone blockade of Charleston harbor
Is but temporary, and will 10 due time be re-
s,luysd by natural causes. Whether 20 or not,
II bears no analogy to the atrocity Of destroy
ing lighthouses on the coast. The following
memorable deed OF Louis XIV, King Of France,
is spropos here, and may furnish . text for the
London Times:
There being . war between France and
England, French privateer took the opportu-
nifty Of one day seizing the men employed upon
lie rock In the construction Of the celebrated
Eddystone Lighthouse, ard carrying them of
prisoners to France. But the capture coming
to The ears Of the King he Immediately ordered
nat the prisoners should be released and sent
back to their work, with presents, declaring
shat though he was at war with England, he
sas not at war with mankind" (Smeaton'a
Narrative, p. 2S.)
