MUSIC

RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED TO MIS- NJ. w*t*s.
Thine is the hand who's magic touch can wake
The echoiug sweetness Of true melody,
And thine the voice whose gentle tone calls up
Within the soul each noble aspiration,
Now deep and thrilling as vesper hymn
Mid evenings sacred silence it recalls
The blissfl PAST
And sweetly it invokes the weary soul
To wander once again within that Eden lost -,
The shadowy-lim and beautiful.
What patriot soldier of the sunny South
Will e'er forget his proud -throbbings
AS his raptured sense
Heard thy sweet voice emtalm in song
The soldiers triumph and the soldiers death.
Such spi, h-music is a requiem fit
For those proud spirits who went down like
Sun
Yet leTt-even upon the misty mountain tops
Of DeGh
4 light that made them lovelyi
But when to gentler strain thy lutte attLned
And love becomes lis theme--'tis then
That lutte and voice blend in that mystic tone
The soul and source Of music
Which makes known eternal harmony
And Sheds a charm
Like to the fahled Cytherea's zone
Binding ali things with beauty.
And when the corls have ceased their sweet
vibrations
Aud when thy voice and lutte are hushed and
still
And when the last and sweetest note
Has fingered into sience-even then
The tone still lives, an echo sweet in memory

it to go to one dollar per pound
The concocted purpose Of the partie,
was TO fix The market price for the

The Indianapolis journal of latt
date has very long article exposing
the conduct of the Knights Of tht
Golden Circle, who have organized
Lodges in various parts of the State
for the open and avcwed purpose o.
resisting the conscriplion act, and the
return Of deserters. 1t quotes the
following from letter from subscri-
ber in Clinton county in that State
"Nearly the entire Democratic par
ty have gone into it, One of their
leaders boasted the other day that be
Initiated eighty in one night. They
are armiDg themselves as fast as pos

[. is extremely fortunate, in this
emergency, that Indiana is presided
over by the ablrst Executive in the

more than a mere local

BROADsIDRs Or TUERETs.

There is no question debated with greater In
,erest in naval circles, n, present. both In
this country and Europe. than the relative
merits Of the turrct and the Lroadsidc in iron
clad ehips.of.war On Friday or Saturday
two weeks ago, the New Ironsidef, q broad
side ship. was brought into action o.
Charleston. while the Wcelawlen was
aground. ard all correspondents agree
in stating that hor batteries filcncod every
Rebel wJrk within range including Sumter and
Moultr.e. Tho inference drawn by our city
Journals from this fact is, that tic Ironsides u
the best type Of ships, and that tho monitors are
of no Use at all, since not one Of them has crcn.
ted 50 much oonstcrnatvn among the enemy
Tbis il not % be wondered n, since II single
monitor has only two guns. while the
New Iron5dcs has twenty, thur enabling
her 20 use three times a. many at
one broadside a. the smaller vessels. The
New Irons.dos is, no doubt, a very good
model after which 30 build several iron-clad
men .of-war; but so are the monitors. We want
both. They are ~ distinct and different N
their spheres of action as can well be- imagined.
In harbors, or whcro there is not plenty Of sea-
room, the New Ironiides, and all vessels oi
her magnitude, must be comparatively un-
manageable. When, in tho very thick oi
the fight during Du Points attack. and
when it seemed that the issue OF the
day would be turned by the slightest contingcn-
cy, this great frigate became as useless as log
Of wood, and had to be anchored ont Of range
Of any prcgnablo battery.
This difficulty detracts from the value OF the
bfoadSdc vessel in tho only place where her
merits are superior TO those of turreted ships.
In attacking4orts or land batteries a broadslde
vessel if she is easily handled il undoubtedly
the best, because the fort or the land battery
must remain where it is, and cannot shift an
inch TO face the bow or stcm Of the vessel, as
an cncmy's ship can do. Nelson, to his dying
day. held II as a maxim, that good captain
need never let a man .of.war bring to bear upon
him more than two or three guns, because he
should be able TO mOyo out Of rOnge OF his an
tagonist's broadside as quickly as ho could
move the other way. At sea, fighting men'oi
war. the value Of the broadside would, there
fore, dcpond on tho skill Of tho caDtain OF th'
