The soldier steps bravely,to battle f.
The woodman lays axe TO tree
They ore each OF the breed Of the heroes,
The manhood attempted in strife
Strong hands that go lightly 10 labor,
True hearts that take comfort in life.
In each is The Feed 10 replepish
The world with the vigor it needs
The centre Of honest, affections
The impulse TO generous deeds.
But The shark drinks the blood of the fisher
The sailor is dropped in the sea
The soldier lies cold by his cannon
The woodmnn is crushed by his tree.
Each prodigal life that is wasted
In manly achievement unseen,
But lengthens the day OF the coward,
And strengthen the crafty and mean.
The blood Of the noblest is lnvshed

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.
The steamship North Star, from Aspinwall
18th, has arrived. She has $230,000 in treas
ury on board.
Our Panama letter of the 9th ult. contains
the following:
"Quito dates of Oct. 81, state that war be-
tween Ecuador and New Granada is inevitS
Bile. The Eeuadorian Congress has authorized
declaration of war against Mosquera. 1t is
rumored that hostilities have already COM
menced between Flores, who is on the Ecau-
dorian frontier with 5000 men, and Mosquera."
The American steamer Salvador arrived at
Panama on the 10Th inst. from Central Ameri
ca. Her advices are important. On the 10Th
ult., Barrios suddenly and without notice evac-
uated Salvador, accompanied by 1900 men and
a large number of women and children. Car
rera- occupied the city Immediately. Four of
the prominent men of Borrios' Cabinet were
caught and shot. Steps were taken to estab-
lish a Provisional Government under Dueras,
former President. All of Barrios aids and
suit had been captured. Thus ends the war
in Salvador.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.-A woman and her
two children were recently murdered in
public cab in the streets of London. From
the testimony in the Boston Journal, it ap-
peared that man with his wife and two chill
dren engaged the cab, and the driver started
rected to stop at the Green Dragon tavern,
when the man in the cab sent him in for pot
of beerj The beer was got and drank by the
inmates ofthe cab, the man on passing the pot
turned it mouth downwards, spilling whatev-
er was left OF its contents upon the pavement
The driver then went on to Holborn, where
the man got out and paying the fare, with
sixpence extra, directed him to go to the roy
al Oak, where he arrived only to find that his
cab contained only three corpses During two
days no traces of the murderer could be dis
covered, but on the night Of the second day
he was. detected and arrested. He proved to
drug establishment. whose departure from
home with his family and return without
them, aud description of the murdered per-
sons, had excited the suspicious of his neigh
bors. He had fastened himself into his house
and when he heard the police demanding adj
mission took poison, from which he died soon
after they gained entrance and arrested him,
He lived unhappily with his wife, and to get
rid of her poisoned his whole family, by pois-
oning the beer which the cab driver brought
him.

A Common Argument well Turned.

respondent cnforces his views ia this wise:

The writer ofthe above having demanded an
explanation for the alleged inconsistency, the
editor of the Witness lets him have it 10 the
following forcible style:

From shtngton-Rnt,orcd Rebel Pepfdy
WASHINGTON, Nov. 70.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says a
large amount OF cotton, amounting, it is be-
lieved, 10 upwards of 100000 bales, is re-
ported to have been accumulated at Atlanta
Ga, belonging to the people aud the rebel
government. 1t is expected that Gen. Grant
intends making rapid movement on that
point, and it will be difficult to remove any
considerable portion Of this cotton in time to
save it from capture.
The Times, Washington dispatch says the
foreign diplomats here consider the occupation
of Brownsville by Gen. Banks as one of the
most important successes of the war, and cal
culated 10 lead to most important cousc-
quepces in our foreign as well as our domestic
relations. 1t is considered as certain to bring
the new French professions on this continent
to a head
Gen. Meredith arrived here to-day from
Fortress Monroe for further instructions from
the War Department in regard to the forward
ing of provisions and clothing to our men at
Richmond. He declares that he is satisfied
that our prisoners do not receive articles sent
them, although $4,000 fations were forwarded
TO Richmond a few days ago. The released
prisoners state that none had been yet distri-
buted among them by the rebel authorities,
and that they had not received any meat Tor
four days. 5000 outfits of clothing have been
sent, but no evidence of their distribution has
been received at Fortress Monroe.
Gen. Meredith has 1900 rations ready to
forward, but declines to ship them unless adj
vised of the safe arrival and distribution OF
those sent.
1t is feared that the clothing and provisions
sent by our government to the naked and fam
ishing officers and soldiers Of the Union incar-
cerated in Richmond, have never reached theii
destination, but have been directed to Cor
louisville for the use of Lees army.
One who saw the prisoners-some 1900 in
all-on their way to Danville, whittier they
have recently been sent by the rebel authori-
ties. says that not blanket was to be had
among them, and that they were extremely
ragged and inevitably filthy. Gen. Meredith
and those to whom he has communicated the
facts in his possession, believed the rebels have
inhumanly broken faith with our government
in this matter.

Coal coming down.

At the regular monthly sale of coal in New
York on Wednesday last, says the Tribune, a
large number were present representing the
coal trade in New York city and vicinity.
The bidding was not very spirited, and there
was not as much anxiety to purchase as was
manifested last month, when it was anticipa-
ted that the present month would show a
great scarcity in the coal market The first
lot put up was $500 tuns Lump Coal which
was started at 81 and knocked down at 81 %,
the buyer contenting himself with only 100
tuns. The remainder of the lot was put up,
when 1900 tuns were knocked down at 81.
$500 tuns at So So, aud 200 tuns at So %.
At the last sale of the Company this class of
coal brought 81 45as7 IS. $500 tuns of Steam
boat Coal was next put up and sold for So 30,
decrease of 81 25 on the last sale. $500
tuns of Crate Coal was knocked down at So 35
aud SO 60; price at last sale IS 60aS9 10.
$500 tuns of Egg Coal sold at IS IS; an adj
vance Of Al cents on previous prices. This
lot was sold in small parcels, and ELECTED more
competition than any of the other lots. 1880
tuns of Stove Coal was started at IS IS and
mp quickly to SO 81, at which small
quantity was taken; the balance was knocked
down at 80 %. At the October sale this class
Of coal brought 50 60 and 80 10 under the
hammer. $500 tuns of Chestnut Coal brought
AZ 20 and- ill., ..4---; i--' .a.v iv., f,oeC tuns

knocked down for 90 So at the last sale. The

A Patriotic Archbishop.

Archbishop PURCELL, OF Cincinnati, of the
Catholic Church, at the recent election in
Ohio, as well as Bishop Rosecrans and nearly
all the Catholic Priests OF the city, voted the
Union ticket, for which they were grossly as
sailed by portion Of the Copperhead press.
So uncalled for, false and malignant have
been these assaults, that Archbishop p. has
seen fit to act on the defensive. We find the
following report of his remarks:
Archbishop Purcell modestly, yet pointedly,
swered his accusers, and with open and manly can
science dictated He followed the defense with an
unreseryed declaration of his opposition 90 the d.
vision OF the country under any circumstac and
closed BY recording his belief that slavery
christian evil opposed to the just freedom of
Kind, and to the growth and glory of a republican
country.
because he desired to wound the Democrats Of his
acquaintance, because he desired to propitiate
their opponents. but because the attempted with
drawal Of Ohio soldiers in the field with RosecTans
would ensue, and that the State OF Ohio would be
tossed with revolutionary opposition to the war
policy. He feared that raids would be invited, the
parallel of which might be found in Quantrels bar
barous and inhuman invasion of Kansas. This may
all have been fancy" said the speaker, but it was
my honest opinion, and who, In Gods name jud
ask to east my vote for the Inauguration of such
anarchy and atrocity."
We cannot have divided empire. Mr.. Pugh said
to him the other day, that the Southern eople would
consent to permit steamboats, to traverse the
Mississippi River, but that they would never trade
with us, and it would be vain for TO endeayor to
make thea strike hands with us as of old. He
tArchbishop p could see no argument In this. The
question was one of right. not of expediency, and
for one, he determined to work for and pray the
right until with Gods blessing, It established
ia all its benefcence.
He had heard that there was a dread among many
iaboring men, that If slaves were liberated they
would como to Northern cities and dispace
thousands of honest. Woodworking white men. For
himself he did not anticipate any such result. We
had always wished to every man, no matter what
his color, free. The Catholic Church has been
the friend Of human freedom II was Christ's mis-
sion to set men free and Christian people disregard
his precepts and example, when they seek to uphold
or perpetuate human seryitude.

ANoTHEs VIcuM.-The Kenebec Journal
says that on Tuesday morning the dead body
of man having no clothing on but an under
shirt. was found in pasture on the farm of
Mr.. Randall, about four miles from Augusta
on the "river" road. The clothing of soldier
was found scattered about. A jury was en-
panellad and Inquest held. The body was
Identified as that of John Bowles of Portland,
Co. goth, Regiment. From the testemony of
his brother, a member of the same company, it
appears that deceased had been in the habit
of excessive drinking for some months past.
He procured liquor in this city previous to 60
ing to Augusta and on the day of his arrival
was greatly intoxicated. His brother thinks
he had not drank any since his arrival there
as he was in state OF delerium most of the
time. He left the camp on Saturday morning
the l4th, and was not seen again until his boz
dy was found as we have descpibed. The yir-
die was to the effect that the deceased came
to his death by delirium tremens.

From Richmond.

NEW YORK, Nov. n.
Richmond papers of the oath deprecate the
advocacy Of peace by one or two papers in
Georgia as well as in North Carolina, and say
that the sole policy of the South is war.
A plot to lberate the Union prisoners in
Richmond and burn that detestable place, is
alleged by the Richmond Examiner to have
been discovered. 1t is also asserted that the
conspirators were to receive very material aid
from persons in Richmond.
Twenty-eight hundred Union prisoners have
been sent to Danville, and a large prison is be-
ing constructed for Union prisoners.
