remaining quietly in bis seat for some time,
he arose and asked leave to make an expla-
nation to the House concerning bis absence.
Leave being granted, he went on to say
that when the Union forces commenced ar
resting suspected persons be got alarmed
and fled to Arlington, Virginia, where he
renamed for some time, after which he
went to Tennessee, where he has been ever
since, until the evacuation of Bowling
Green opened the way for his return home.

the coast Of lower California, while an infant,
was washed ashore in the basket il which ne

"grissley" and by her suckeled until he was
twenty. one years of age. While with his bear
mother, being a close observer, he saw what
herbs ard roots the "grissley's" resorted to
when they felt u1well and thus the Eruka Was
found. After the inventor became OF age he
took up his abode among the Flat Head In

mense cave, in which he put up his labratOry
and is now engaged in compOunding these

The National IL ejoicing.

The thrilling events of this crisis-the
light breaking through the gloom of civil
war-the sounds of joy and victory now
ringing through the land-seem almost
prefgured by the glowing language Of
Scott:
20 who that shared them ever shall forget
The emotions of that spirit-rousing time
When breathless in the mart tie courers met
Early and late at evening and at prime
When the loud cannon and merry chime
HAIL'D NEWS ON NEWS, AS FIELD ON FIELD WAS
WON
When Hope. long doubtful, soar'd at length
sublime,
And our glad eyes, awake as day begun,
Watch'd joys broad banner rise, to meet the
rising sun?
o! those were hours when thrilling joy repaid
long, long course of darkness, doubts and
fears
The heart sick faintness of the hope delay'd-
The waste, the woe, the bloodshed, and the
tears
That wash'd with terror twenty rolling years.
All was forgot in that blithe jubee!
Her downcast eye even pale Affection rears
TO sigh thankful prayer amid the glee
That hail'd the despot's fall, and Peace and
Liberty"
