For married DANES, much, gayer than they

Had long been friends, and SO attached at heart
That they indeed were seldom seen apart.
At length it chanced-by some imprudent act
From which suspicion guessed naughty fact
One came to grief; for busy scandal rung
The cruel rumOr with relentless tongue.
Her late companion (such her friendships proofD
Hearing the tale, directly kept aloof; .,l &
Until, by chance as other people meet
When thus the angry dame expressed her

The Thirst for Blood.

The New York World, in rebuking the
radicals, some of whom exclaim against the
feeling in. Minnesota that three hundred
Indians should be slain, says saa ahnf
Most emphatically let not those under
take, to play the, censor in this business,
who are really responsible for the nursing
in all the land Of a public temper which
differs from the actual temper Of Mime
sofa only in the degree, not in the nature
of its inflammation. For now nearly two
years the extreme radical presses of the
North have been bowling for just such ven-
geance upon the rebels of the South as
these prairiemsn demand upon the Indians
Of the West. Not the suppression of war
against the Government only not the re-
establishment only of constituted authority
in all its benefcent might over q reunited
national domain; but the most ferocious
chastisement of the citizens, the most bar
barrie and vandalic vengeance upon the
cities Of the seeded South, has been the
cry of men who now profess to be shocked
that Americans of the West should impre-
cate upon the t0rturers and murderers of
their wives and their children the compare
lively merciful penalty Of death. Whole
sale confscation, beggaring thousands Of
families; servile instruction, re-enacting
on q thousand separate stages all that
sickens the heart and fires the blood in the
piteous story Of Minnesota these have
been the constant invocation, the passion
ately pursued policy, the prayer and hope
and purdose Of men calling themselves
Christians and Americans against men and
women and children of their own race,
worshiping God id one sweet mother
tongue. Shall not the very stones Of the
streets cry out in scorn upon the hypocrites
when such 40 these affect to ahudder at the
sight Of blood, and to find fop the red say

THE PIRATE ALABAMA.
EXCITEMENT AT THE NAVY YARD
.,. FLEET AFTER THE ALABAMA u o.

From the New York Tribune, 10Th .,,-4.
10 Yesterday afternoon the Brooklyn Navy
Yard presented a scene Of great excite
ment. News came over that the San ia
cinto had been hoodwinked by the Alaba-
ma, and naval officers were so much ''exer-
cised'' by the intelligence that the thou
sands who obtained admittance to the
yard, Thursday being the regular visiting
day, mistook the cause of the lfurore, and
thronged to the wharf, where Capt. Wor-
den Of the Monitor was working hard to
get off his new iron-clad, the Montauk.
~ = A FLEET AFTER THE ALABAMA. 9qh
1t is not worth while to conceal the fact
that whole fleet of steamers are after the.
Alabama. The Vanderbilt sailed yester-
day from the Lights" direct to Fayal,
and runs fair chance of falling in with
the pirate on the way She is supposed
to meet there two United States steam
men-of-war, detached from a foreign
squadron, and the three will then take.
different course. The names of the steam
ers cannot be given. At the Brooklyn Ma
w Yard at present there are two splendid
regular navy steam frigates, and one Stem
knot steamer" all of which will be off in a
few days. At Boston another fast steam
er is ready to leave. One left Philadel-
adelphia ON Thursday, another started
from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on
Monday, and five have taken their depar-
ture from this and other ports within few
days. Of them all, however, only one,
the Stettin, prize steamer, built expressly
to run the blockade, and subsequently, cap
tured by our ships, is probably fast enough
to catch the Alabama.
