sion to what was probably the last production

Of John Hampden's refusal to pay the twenty
nine shilling tax, for ship money, and spoke
of it as the beginning Of that resistance to the
royal authority which ended in civil war and
brought Charles the first to tho block. He
characterized Charles as weak, amiable mon
arch, whose notions Of prerc gative made him
false to his country, to bis private word, and
a liar whom England could well spare.

And shake the orange tree;
Tonight leave the cotton looms
Tonight shall be free.

The Tiger roams the plain
The Indian wears his coral beds,
The Black Man wears his chains.

They bear my child away;
But, /, alas the white mas'n slave,
must not stop opray.
Toll on Toll on they bid me still
But bark the cannons boom

Those treading millions come;
see their camp-fires cleaning bright,
They beekon now to me;
/ leave Old Masters chains tonight;
Tonight Ishall be free.

THE DISASTER NEAR FRANK
pa h' .''A LIN. ""
Black Rebel Regiments I'm the
w Fight.

From the Nashville Union. 9TH.
A gentleman who came in from Franklin
yesterday evening, brings the following par
iiculas Of on engagement which took place
near Franklin, on Tuesday, about which oil
kinds of rumors have been circulating for the
last twenty-four hours. He states that Gene
ry Gilbert sent out three regiments Of infaBt.
ry aud battery, on certain expedition, with
instructions not TO bring on fight, but to
keep up skirmishipg if they encountered the
enemy, The designs was, we believe, to ef-
feet junction with another force. a few
miles out they fell in with small force Of the
rebel cavalry, aud attsekiug them, drove them
back in the vicinity of the Columbia pike,
near West Harpeth, some four miles from
franklin, when lhey were suddenly fianked
by an overwhelming force of Van Dorn's cav
airy, with mounted infantry aud artillery. A
fierce engagement cnsued, during which oul
forces, being assailed by at least four times
their own number, were driven back. Dur
ing the fight the battery in charge of the s5tl
Indiana was attacked by two rebel negro regi
ments. Our artllerists double shotted thei
guns and cut the back rebels to pieces, anf
brought their battery safely of.
Tie fight began with skirmishing at abou
nine o'clock in the morning, and lasted until
three in the afternoon. Our forces retreatct
into Franklin.
The firing was decidedly heard at Franklin
during the day. Why Gen. Gilbert sent n
renforcements cut from the large force station
ed at franklin we are unablc1to amagine.-
1t appears passing strange that an army whic
could have crushed the rebel force to piece
was kept idle while the thunder OF uatti
raging not four miles off, was sounding fd
six hours in their ears. .tayl mo lomtnl :.
1t has been stated repeatedly, for two weel
past, that large number, perhaps one-fourt
of Van Dorn's force were negro soldiers, an
I the statement is fully confirmed by this III
fortunate engagement. The Southern rcbe
forced their negroes to take up arms to de-
! troy this Government, and enslaye US and OF

Blessed NTartyrism Played Out.

Not tho least important Of the acts passed
by the late Congress was one by which the
Copperheads will be deprived of the political
capital they have made out of the cry OF un-
constitutional and arbitrary arrests. The right
of The general Government in cases OF invasion
and rebellion 10 suspend the writ OF hd6eds
corpus is undoubtel, it being given in express
terms in the Constitution itself. Tho only
question has been whether tho President had
the ri,ht to do this Of his sole volition, or
must first receive the authority Of Congress.
On this point there are among able jursts
differences of opinion, but the weight OF au,
,horiy iuclnes decidedly to the belief that At
least during the time that Congress is not IN
session the President may rightfully exercise
this powor. Congress, at its late session, to
prevent all cavil, passed an act by which the
President is expressly authorized to suspend
the writ whenever be may deem it necessary
in futuer. The first section of the act relating
to the ha6eas corpus. and regulating Judicia
proceeding in certain cases, provides that du
ring the present rebellion, the President o
the United States, whenever in his judgment
the public safety may require it, is authorized
to suspend the privileges Of the writ Of ha6ea'
corpus in any case throughout the United
States or parts thereof. And Whenever ant
wherever the said privilege shall be suspended
as aforesaid no military or other officer sha J
be compelled, in answer to any writ OF habsa
corpus to return tho body OF any person o
persons detained by him BY authority of tb'
President, but upon certificate under oath
of the officer having charg' Of any ono 50 de
tanned, that such person is detained 10y him
prisoner, under authority Of the President
farther proceedings under tho writ Of habea'
corpus shall be suspended by tho Judge o
Court having issued the said writ 50 long q
said .suspen ion by tho President shall renal
in force and said rebellion continue"
Gentlemen desirous Of assuming the chat

. ana practice, to provoke arrest, thinking to r'
: turn home after brief Incarceration and r.

role Is played out, aud that those who ma
be hereafter arrested for sufficient cause wi
