extravaganza OF the city government by
saying that "should a determination to
attack Buffalo ever again be made mani

of an appropriate flag of truce, that if
they capture Buffalo they must pay its

No longer tempest tossed!
AT Somerset and Bowling Green,
They fought, conquered and died
AT Donelson their graves are seen,
And by the rolling tide. 81.

At New Orleans treasure and blood,
Flowed i'm one rushing tide.

Before proud Richmond's walls

Where no sad tear-drop falls.

Where Mississippi's billows ride, .a.

But, sec ! the naughty Southrons yield,
In wild confusion fed.
But while ye shout, tread lightly now
Behold your brothers slain !

But, nay where sleep they not
No marble CLEANS above their brow,

tion of cotton, or the educational OF

All accounts represent the feeling
at Washington, both upon the part OF
the Government and among all the
supporters Of the war, to be buoyent
and confident. 1t is regarded as al.
most certain that We are about to en-
ter upon path Of splendid successes,
which will settle the speedy fate of
the rebellion. The prevalence Of such
feeling at the national capital is an
excellent sign. Certainly nowhere
else is there SO good a knowledge of
our own resources and preparations,
and Of the present means and condi,
ton of the rebels. If we are to look
for correct forecast anywhere, it
should certainly be at the national
headquarters. A great deal Of the
depression which has existed in this
city and elsewhere through the north,
has rested upon no definite data what.

discomfort with some particular poll
cy Of the Government, or with the
treatment Of some particular general,
rather than any substantial facts
bearing upon the vital elements Of the
war.-N. y Times.

A Valuable Cargo.

The cargo of the prize steame,

has been all taken out except some
machinery. As the cases have not
yet been opened, it is not known what
number of small arms she had on
board. But two heavy pieces of orda.

ers. A large quantity of steel
pointed, conical shot, such as Beau.
regard used upon our iron-clads from
Fort McAllister, has also been found.
There are some hundreds of cylindri-
cal bars of the same kind of metal,
ready for casting into shot. The ma
chinery and everything is of the best
description. The drugs include large
lots of quinine. and expensive articles,
whose price in the market has now
nearly or more than doubled, and in
some cases quadrupled. The csti-
mated value Of the cargo is million
Of dollars. The early discharge of
the cargo is to facilitate the delivery
Of the vessel to the Navy Department
at her apprised value. As she is rep
resented to be very fast, it is believed
that she can be at once made availa.
ble as one of the blockading feet.
One of the owners of the Princess
Royal, is, Tor was, for Uncle Sam owns
her now, Mr.. Lindsay, who, last
year as member of Parliment, was
very anxious the blockade should he
raised by England because of it's in
efficiency. Perhaps he sees the mat
ter in different light by this time.

y,,c Cert,im Em.e Of slavery

In a speech sgainst secession in the South
Carolina Legislature, three years, Mr.. Boyce,
of that State, uttered these emphatic and pro-
phetic words
II object, in as strong terms as l can, to the
secession of South Carolina. Such is the in
tensity of my conviction upon the subjsct,that
if secession should take piace-of which have
no idea-for | cannot believe in the existence
of such a stupendous madness-I shall consid-
er the institution Of slavery as doomed, and that
the Great God, in our blindness, has made us
the instruments of it's destruction
The Baltimore american quotes the language
of Mr.. Boyce, and concludes an able article Oh
the subject as follows
"There may be those yat who will still fiat
ter themselves that slavery is TO snrvlVe these
formidable assaults and complications and ii
there should be such, we would once more re-
mind them that slavery was e1tlngulshed IN
Mexico by what were termed unconssltutlona
DEGREES -decrees born OF a period OF revolution
like this. And although vigorous protests were
made, and even compensation provided tor,
revolution and civil war, persisted in, gave the
finishing blow to slavery without compehsaiiohi
a lesson which ought not TO be- thrown away
upon those competent to read the signs OF the
times in our case"
