Yankee Rage and vengeance.

The capture of the Ariel has aroused the
cengeatce of the Yankees against the Two
Hundred and Ninety. The Herald, in speak
ing of tfe9capture, says:
The gold of California therefore-the pro-
duet Of our wcalthiest State--is no longer
safe in vessels sailing under the flag of this
republic, to our shame be it told. That por-
ton of our carrying trade also, we suppose,
must b. entrusted to British vessels, as the
American navy will not be permitted to pro-
tect IT, Is this disgraceful state of things to
continue? For the honor of the nation we
trust nor. Are our coasts to be swept by hos
tile vessels? Is our flag to be dishonoured,
and a great maritime country like ours to be
dependent upon foreign ships for the trans
pnrtati.,n of it's own treasure, while our har-
bours are teeming with armed vessels of as
fine navy as the world can show? These
facts mestbe as patent to Mr.. Livcoln as they
are to the whole public, and we hope that he
will iusisS.upon some speedy measures being
taken to remove this disgrace. For the re-
putation of his administration, for thessafety
Of the commerce and the prosperity of The re-
public, the President should see to it that the
seas are cleared Of this pirate ship.

POETRY.
Shall we know each other There !?

When we hear the music ringing.
Through bright celestial dome,
When sweet angel voices singing,
Gladly bid US welcome home,
To the land of ancient story,
Where the spirit knows no care
In the land of light and glory
Shall we know each other there?
When the holy angels meet:us,
As we go to join their band,
Shall we know the friends that greet US
:, In the glorious spirit land
Shall we See their dark eyes shining
On US, as in days Of yore
Shall we feel their loved arms twining
Fondly round us as before?
Yes, my earth-worn soul rejoices,
And MY weary heart grows light,
For the thrilling angel voices,
And the angel faces bright,
That shall welcome us in Heaven,
Are the'loved of long ago, 49,
And to them It's kindly given
Thus their mortal friends to know.
O! We weary ones and lost ones,
Droop not, faint not BY the way;
!. Ye shall join the loved and lost ones
In the land Of perfect day.
Harp strings, touched by angel fingers,
Murmur in my raptured car
Evermore their sweet tone fingers
We shall know each other there.
