And the bayonet lightnings play,
Pail the heavy iron heilstones,
Gushes rain Of blood to-day.
But the sunlight Of Gods favor
Sets the rainbow token high;
Freedoms arch, to shine forever
In our cOuntry's purer sky.

PEsTILENCE ADDED TO FAMINE.-Fever 81
added to the famine in the Lancashire district.
The London Lancet, good medical authority,
says:
"The true spotted typhus, the formidable
famine fever the dire pestilential concomit-
ant of widespread and prolonged dearth-is
slowly but most surely extending its ravages
amongst the population of the town. Within
the past fortnight the number of cases of the
malady has been doubled and the history of
the outbreak through, so far as we have as yet
ascertained the particulars, is most significant
of the future. In July, one or two instances
of true typhus were recorded. In August,
eight cases occurred. In September, upwards
OF forty were registered; in October, fifty one.
Now the number has reached (if not exceeded)
l40. 1t is evident from the figures that the
activity of the disesce is steadily becoming
greater and lis sphere of action wider; and
sooner or later the time must come, if human
help be powerless or too long delayed to stave
off the disaster, when, from the sure results of
inanition, the famine stricken population will
become as apt to receive and propagate the
deadly infection as finder to receive and propa-
gate fame.n

DEBATE ON THE ARREsTs.--The debate
evoked by Senator Saulsbury's resolution of
inquiry touching the arrests of two citizens of
Delaware was continued on Thursday with
much animation on both sides. The two SEN

Kentucky, assailed the government with ar
gument and invective, diverging also to other
general topics They were answered by Sen
ator Wright of Indiana, and both the Senators
from Maine. "a
Mr. FessendeR made one of his excellent
speeches, IN which he argued that the Presi-

is still in danger to inquire whether the Presi-
dent has in all respects and in every case pro-

Contributions to the Sanitary Commits
sion.

At meeting in New York, night before
last, held under the auspices of the Woman's
Central Association of Relief, in aid of the
United Stotes Sanitary Commission, Rev. DR..
Bellows said: ~ s@
The Commission had opportunities to sup
plement the Medical Department, and had op-
portunities to aid the sick and wounded, which
no other organization could have. There were
no less than 10000 packages in the express
Offices Of Washington, which were rotting and
wasting because they could not be sent to their
destinations But if those packages had been
sent through the Sanitary Commission, thew
would have reached their destination. That Of
the 10000 bundles sent through the Sanitary
Commission, only SO. had not yet been deliver
ed. The speaker explained the hospital record
kept by the Commsson--the records which
now show where any sick man in the Was h.
ington hospitals can be found, and which will
soon show where any sick man in the United
States can be found.
DIR. Bellows created some sensation in the
audience by uncovering the table-load of gold
and silver which graced the centre of the stage.
There were eight heavy chunks of bullion of
various sizes, and some of them quite as heavy
as man would care to lift
These lngots were parts of the contribution
of the State of California, valued at about
S25 900, and forming part of the 100000
given by that great State to the funds of the
Sanitary Commission.
He gave the following list of contributions,
