Instructions in Charleston Harbor

One of the Catskills boats, while
on picket lately, cut away four of the
barrel buoys which support the first
line of rebel distinctions in the chan
mel, between Sumpter and Moultrie.
They are large, heavy casks, thickly
tarred, and anchored i'm groups of three
or four together, at intervals across
the channel. They support a heavy
hawser, to which is suspended substan-
tial nets, designed to foul the propel-
lers of the Monitors. Not mutch i'm
portancc is attached to these obstruc-
tons by our navy, and the rebels do
not themselves probably depend upon
them. Those further up the harbor,
across the Middle Ground channel,
are OF a more serious character.
Another exchange says -"The recent
high tides have swept out of Charles
ton harbor the muCh-feared and talked
ot oDStructIons.' These last float up
nigh and dry OH the beaches of Morris
and Folly Islands, and are instantly
seized by the men and converted into
irewood and tent frames. Four full |
sized pine trees, 80 feet long, are lash
I'd tranSvcrsely with spars, at distan-
res of IA feet apart. These RATS were !
together, and marked in Sc
les by upright poles across the north
channel of Charleston harbor. At
,ached to them were torpcdoes, made
'f lager beer kegs, fitted with conf
al ends of wood, and filled with pow
Ter, into which wire was inserted. |
Behind these were linked railroad bars,
some of which, entangled with the
aft, have also been driven ashore.

From the Philadelphia City Item,
NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!

" may be asked, as I have been asked
when am for the dissolution of the Union
answer, never, never, ."-Hq,rv Clan
You ask ME when I d rend the scroll
Our fathers names are written DER
When would see our flag unroll
lts mingled stars and stripes no more
When, with worse than felon's hand,
Or felon' counsels, / would sever
The Union of this glorious land
i answer never never never!
When we can find the lawless might
Where carnage treads its crimson wav,
Where burning cities gild the night,
And cannon smoke obscures the dav:
In towns deserted, fields of ground
Abandoned by the faithful plow,
Security, hope, peace profound,
The blessings Heaven vouchsafes you now
Think We that | could brook to see
The emblem have loved so long,
Borne peaceful DER the distant sea-
Torn. tramped by frenzied thronc
Divided, measured, parcelled out,
Tameiy surrendered up forever,
To crafty lawless rout
OF traitors Never never never!
On yonder lone and lovely steep,
The sculptor $ art, the builder power,
The landmark DER the soldiers sleep,
Have reared a lofty funeral tower.
There it shall stand until the river
That rolls beneath shall cease TO flow,
Aye, till the Hill itself shall quiver
With natures last convulsive throe.
Upon that column S marble base,
Its shafts, that soar into the sky,
There still is room enough to trace
The list of millions yet to die.
And would cover all its height
And breadth before the hour of shame,
Till space should even fail to write
Even the initials of a name.
Nay. would haste to swell the ranks,
Direct the fire, or lead the way,
While battle swept the rifted ranks
And bore the serried lines away;
Fall, bleeding, in the doubtful strife
Beneath the motto of my sires.
And draw the latest breath of life
Before that Union flag expires.
Dissolve the Union nay, remove
The last asylum that is known,
Where patriots find a brothers love.
And truth may shelter from a throne!
Give up the hopes of high renown,
The legacy our fathers willed,
Tear our victorious eagles down
Before their mission is fulfilled.

The Mail Has Come +!
RY SARAH A. DYER.

The Office il open--the capaci cious doors
Are flung wide 10 the n-day air
And in, the throns expectant pours,
With a tremulous, half breathed prayer.
Pale-faced women, silent and calm,
Old men, and maidcns gay,
Ask, ia voices swee, as a paintive psalm,
'.What news from our boys to-day? ,"
/" Any news from the boysY" Sweet Marions face
Grows white with the sudden pain. .-
Brave Private Willie, in strength and grace,
Lies low on the battle plain.
It will still her heart when this pang is DER,
To know that he hrayely fell,
That he foated away from the earthly shore,
To the sentinel cry, " Alps well /"
What news ," The old mans eyes are bright,
And reads through mist Of tears.
His boy prisoner since the fight,
How desolate life appears.
A note from his Colonel of tender regret,
And hint Of promotion to come.
Let the fathers sorrow be bravely met
Frove worthy so noble a son.
There are letters Of sorrow, and letters Of glee,
From the white camps nestled afar,
Where the blue hills slope down To the whispering sea
And ring with the echoes of war.
And many a heart is made happy or sad,
Ponderng its destiny,
BY low reply TO the question glad,
Any news from our boys to-day -
Fall River, Wis, Nov. 90 1868.

The Iowa City Press says that DR.,
Murray and Mr.. NJ w. Davis, of that
