WARSAw.--Thc most remarkable feature in
this contest is. perhaps. the power which the
secret National Government exercises IN War
saw. Under the very eyes al General de
Berg. it prints its prpcl;tlmators, collects its
taxes. AMI executes It's sentences. The chief
al the city. Il few days since. issued an order
Of the day, in which he announced that the
decree OF the National Government had been
executed upon the person Of j. Miniszcwski
i;ssaSsinatcl as he WIS leaving his home
in the morningy. condemned as a traitor to the
country By the public voice; denounced every
person collecting taxes Tor the Muscovte
Government as Il traitor, ami required
the citizens to dcnouncc him, that the Ma
tional Government might take measures TO
execute sentence upon him. The position of
the public iunctonaries in Warsaw has thus
bccolac Il very painful one. On the one hand,
if they do not do their duty they may be shot
or depdrtrd On the other hand, if they do it
they arc sure TO he asslssinatcd. So great is
the terror which the National Government in
spires that the wife Of Miniszcwski dared not
even attend his funeral. or accept Il pension
from the Government she was warned that
if she did the ialc Of her husband would be
hers 1t is said that. thanks Ia this system,
the National Government collects taxes with
great facility, whilst the ltus.Ians can get
nothing.

The enrolling officers for Carroll and Trim

A second batch were appointed, and they, too,

the district, has just made his third appoint

thinks he has hit upon men this time who will

We entered this Stats, and received, as
| expected, an extremely cold reception
These people, have not felt, so fur, any of the
dcsolation of this war. do not think that
ever saw q more beautiful country than that
through which our army has marched for the
last few days. Every foot Of ground is under a
high state of cultivation, and the houses, &c.,
are in neat, good order. The people. mostly Of
the second class, livery few showing marks of
high cultivation seem to be perfectly indiffcr-
ent as to the result of the war, or which party
occupies their country SO that their property is
left untouched. l hope that they may be
made to feel what war is before our army leaves
the State
The army is in splendid spirits, and in IN
excellent state of discipline, competent to cope
with any force which can possibly be brought
against it, Notwithstanding that Mcclellan is
IN command, as is currently reported. A few
shell, however, judiciousiy thrown, will dis
perse all the militia which they may bring to-
gether.

THE LAND OF THE GREEN.

Ere the last rosy tint from the sky has depart,
| Which bears our last glance with the fall Of

While the future remains unrevealed, unim-

While the field Of Antie;an is swept with a
cheer;
While the march of our legion is onward to
glory,
While victory presides where their emblems
have been,
And while freedoms enrolling th cir names in

That the hills of old Erin have beauty the bright
That her waters are clear, that her skies are
serene,
That her i-breatlipg zephyr is sweetest and

That paradise reigns in the Land of the Green !:
That the f ct of her maids are Hne lawns on the
mouutiias,
the scene,
When midnight is seen in the depths of her
fountains,
Are truths that endure in the Land Of the
Green.
With the harpstrings of ages her voice is re-
sounding,
Through The tempest Of conflict her standard
is seen,
And lie heart that most wildly tumultuous i.

Is the heart OF old Erin, the land of the Green );
She pours all her streams into Freedoms wide
