CAPT. SwIFT.-The New Orleans Era reports
speech of Capt. Swift, made sort OF gIor-
6cation meeting in that city. The Captain is quite
too swift-altogether ahead of the times. The follow
ing is an extract
Just after the return of the troops from Port Hudson
asked by the what did Gen Banks

by this time that Gen. Banks back from Port Hudson

The nine thousand one hundred and four men that
Banks lost in his Teche expedition are quite ignored

From the North Carolina Presbyterian.
The Death Of Jackson.
LUoLA.

A shout of triumph loud and clear,
From field to camp exultabt ran
Was echoed back from Mary e's heights,
And 'l0ng the banks of Eapidan.
Shrill cIarion's blasts and buge's notes
And trumpet's peal at set of sun,
Tell by the RsppEhannock's waves
Df Yet another victory won
All! so ex1ltant was that shout.
1t seemed as though it could not die;
Bot VIII ding DER the mountain heights,
Scared on werd-apT ard to the sky.
Eut bark what means this sudden calm
This stiffness on the quivering air?
As if some mighty power had caught
That rising sheus and held it there.
SIX OF the soldier ON the field
tr sentinel upon hii beat,
ask not the chieftain of the host,
Their lips could not the tale repeat.
With throbbing heart and down cast eye
+ ch would in silence turn away;
To weep the price for victory paid,
The cost of this triumphant day.
But read it ia a nations tears,
And on it's droopipg banners apread,

Tie Hero CT the South is dead!
That mighty intellect s stilled.-
That powerful arm al nerveless lies,-
That noble heart no longer thrills,
Or CLOVIS with generous 8! mpathes
All me it is as to eome star
In heaven which burned with glorious light
When every eye was on it turned,
That instant dropped in shades OF right
Love, such as once Napoleon shared,
Did Jackson's followers to MIN yield,
Ten thousand bosoms would have barred.
That noble heart from death to shield
Few are the chieftains who have climbed
The rugged. dizzy heights of fame,
But what ambition, pride or power
Have left some spot upon their name.
Put here is one,-our Jackson brave
With Havelo:k's be his me intwined-
And in each christian pati It's heart,

No stain is on their garments left
No wi herring blight upon their name,
No act of tyranny or wrong
To dim the brightness of their fame
Come, crown your Heros tomb with bay;
Come, garland's Irvine of laurel leaves;

To rise upon the Land of Peace,
And shine upon the stream Of Life.
