THE LoEDoE TINES on BUrLER-The London
Times dsvetes an article to Butler, the tyrant that is now
ruling New Orleans with a rod Of iron. It is polated and
pungeAt, and contains many truths From K We take
the annexed paragraph
Netting Is e'sArer In law and ethics than that an saith
extored By unlawful coercion in void. Nothiag b % IS
ssntiRl to the sacred charity Of an cath than that this
should be thoroughly and universally understood, ether
wise an oath would cease to be the bead Of society, and
would become the instrument Of thieves and briysndL
But il ia q horrible outrage for q wretch like this Butler,
who has pEbsbly never in his life done one act OF man
hood, to drive up = whole population, uAdsr muzzlss Of
cannon, sed under threats Of being utterly deEPoiled, 10
commit a ssTt Of white perjury. These people had al,
no doubt. taken the oath OF allegiance to the govern
ment Of their choice, ana they haEs now swallowed by
force of an cath Of allegiance 70 a government that hey
hate. Even Butler sA1not suppose that an oGth thus can
give him any further right, moral or legal, over these
people. It's = sensaless humiliation and a useless insult
mo mere. 1t Is not only an act Of tyranny BIT an act
OF tyranny without aa advantage. The Eorthsrn peo-
pie ought to be Ashamed Of themselves for keeping this
stupid ruHan IN such 5 post. While this
creature is N oonmGnd,aFgsw Orleans can
serve for no other use but az a warning % sl Southern
cities, what submission to the North involves.

respectfully dedicated to those friends who
brought me flowers while prostraetd by dis
ease +; long shall remember their kindness
and .he odors of their offerings;
They brought me fresh flowers from their beds,
Dsiscs and dahliss and white roses.
And a rare collection Of poesics,
In a fragrant boquet, pure and ehaste
Selected with the "graccs of taste.
And they shed perfume that we'd.
Friends put them in water filled vases,
And their petals lit up with smile.
And my room caught their sweets for awhile;
And thought they'd leave INC. all never
They'd linger and charm me forever.
But my faneies were sick and ran races.
But they're faded their blossomed leaves fail
While the dahhas first lost their bright hue
The dsises and poeses turned blue
Whispering ssdly-"passiug Away
The rose mildly said-"all must decay
And thought-'tis the fate Of ~ all.

fred about half past 7 o'clock. The citi-
zens of the town were gathered together
at different points, and, of course, had to
endure the modification Of being passive
spectators of the scene. Some few strag-
Cling soldiers were in the town at the
time the rebels entered, but either re-
manned concealed or made good their es-
cape toward Hagerstown or Harrisburg,
After leaving town the rebels proceeded
down the Baltimore road in the direction
OF Gettysburg.
About thirty of the rebels are reported
to have been captured by the lst Maine
aud other cavalry regiments, as they were
crossing into Virginia at Nolan's ford
The rebels all rode the sleekest kind of
horses, e, identity stolen from Pennsylvania
farmers.
EscArE INTO VIRGINIA.
The following despatch from Frederick,
Md, dated on the 18th inst, gives an ac-
count Of the final escape Of Stuart's cav
airy across the Potomac The impunity
with which they got away, if the represen-
tation is fact, seems a little Singular
We quote from the New York Herald:-
The Termination of the rebel cavalry
rail did not result in their capture, or
any considerable portion of them, as had
been hopel.
The cavalry force under Gen. Pleasan-
ton, which passed through this city at day
ieht on Sunday morning, reached the VI
cinity Of Pooiesyilic 4 short time before
the uain boly Of the rebels. Both men
and horse, had had a iaunt the men hay-
IN been in the saddle and GA the road
almost constantly from the time the fact
ct the rebel, having crossed the river be-
came known. consequently neither Of them
were in condition to render as efficient
service as they otherwise might.
The rebels soon made their appearance
and posted one gun on a hill, so placed as
to cover their passage. Our battery was
placed in position and sn attempt made
to silence this gun. The firing was kept
M at intervals for about three hours,
without, As far as Is known doing any
damage t. either side.
It is said that no attempt was made TO
fire upon the cryalry while they were
crossing the river, which might easily
have been done, neither was there any at
tempt made 10 chartc upcn them by our
.aFalry and repnlse them. This can only
accounted for apon the 'upposition that
the horses were too much excited to war

The Rebel Cavalry Raid.


The cavalry, about three thousand in
number, { although accounts differ as to
their strength, some parties insisting there
were no more than seven hundred OF them }
and six pieces Of artillery, crossed the
Potomac at Hancock or Clear Spring on
Friday morning, and proceeded at once to
Mcrcersburg, without committing any
deprcdations or in the least degree inter
ferinc withthe inhabitants along the route,
it evidently being their intention, at the
outset, to spare the persons and property
cf private citizens, horses excepted.
ENTRANCE INTO -MEGcERsBURG.
They entered Mercersburg about noon,
to the great astonishncnt ofgthe citizens
who at first thought they were a body OF
Union troops. No damage was done at
MerceFaburg, with the exception OF press
ins number Of horses, there being no
railroad depot, public workshops, or GOV,
ctnmcnt store in the town. They passed
through the town, and took the Pittsburg
pike for Chambersbure, arriving near the
town iaSt before dark. One of their
first acts was to plant three pieces OF ar
ti5lcrv on a hill back of the town; after
which detachment of fifteen men were
,eut into town bearing a flag Of truce,
and requesting to see tao chief person
ages or authorities, stating that they had
an ample force at hand, and that the town
must be surrendered Or shelle. at the
same time stating that guas were in pos

Treatment Of House Plants.

Water, heat, air, and light are the four
essential stimulants to plants they should
therefore, with regard to the latter re-
quisite, be placed as near the windows as
possible the windows should have a
south exposure, and should be az seldom
rs possible shaded with blinds. The heat
Of ordinary dwelling-houses is quite
enough for such plants as we would rec
ommend for general culture in rooms !;
only in very cold weather the plants should
be removed little further from the win
dows. The blinds aud shuttcrA are usu-
ally protection during the night. If
the air is too close, opening the doors an
windows produces change but on open
ing the windows of warm room IN cold
weather, care should be taken not to chill
the plants by leaving them in the cold
current Spring and autumn are the
times of the year at which w.ndow-plants
require the greatest attention, When
plants get slightly injured by frost, cold
water should be sprinkled on them before
the sun reaches them, and this sprinkling
ought to be continued rs long as any ap-
pearancc of frost remains on the foliage;
Water is often very lnludlelousl y applied
to plants in rooms, and the evil arises
from falling into the opposite extremes OF
too much or too llLtle they should DC
frequently syrlnged. ln winter this should
be done in mild weather only. Plants
which have large and leathery leaves
such as oranges P'ttosp0rums' camelias'
aud myrtIes, may be "asneo WIN

DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.


Three locomotive, and the same mum
Der Of passenger cars belonging to the
Cumberland Valley Railroad were then
utterly destroyed; the buildings stated
above we're fired and totally consumed.
They waited long enough to see that the
destruction would be complete, and at )
O'Clock in the morning the whole party
left the town, each man and horse had
small sized clothing establishment.
EXPLOSION OF a POWDER MAGAZINE.
The noise oecasioned by the explosion
of the powder magazine was so great 'hat
it was heard at the distance OF several
miles down the valley, aud gave rise to
report, that spread in that direction, that
caanouading was going on at Chambers
burg Tho walls Of the warehouse being
very strong did not tall down after the ex-
plosion, which fortunate circumstances
prevented mitch damage to surrounding
