BLOODY HCcCfier.

Henry Ward Beecher, in his recent fra
ternity lecture in Boston, said:
"We need mole martyrs; we deed m ore
bloodshed. Bloodshel is the wine of ne
tons. God feeds them on blood"
Now, says the Newburyport Herald, q
leading Republican paper of Massachu'
setts, why does not this man make o
martyr of himself? Why does he not
shed c little of his own blood? In no
way could he do his country more service
for his utterances for years have tended
to bring us to our present posltion.--
Good care does he take to keep himsel
out of danger, while he talks so bravely,
so devilishly. in the Plymouth Churcl
and the fremont Temple. Ask the wifi
who has lost her husband and parents
who mourn sons; they cannot talk Sc
flippantly Of blood as this minister OF the
"meek and lowly Jesus" If his God i
one who "feeds the nations with blood, y
it explains much Of his preaching

royal leaguers. headed by Morton Mo
Michael and Mayor Gilpin. had arrived
in Washington, and that Senator Wade
and Chandler and Mr.. Chandler are their
invited guests. The object of the visit
and the caucus is to organize forces for
the breaking mp of all political organiza-
tions in the loyal States hostile to the Re-
publican party, and for the suppression
of every sentiment that is not in strict
accordance with the ideas OF the radicals.
! The new movement is to begin at Phils-
delpha; but it is to be soon extended to
other cities and localities. 1t is evident
that the design OF the Abolitionists is to
create an insurrection in the North, IN or
der to obtain an excuse for making peace
with tho South. With the Generals aud
the means they are employing they arc
unable to put down the Southern rebel
lion which was produced by the anti-sla-
very question, as was stated few days
ago by George Downing. the negro oys-
terman, at tbe Abolition Convention in
this city, and tacitly admitted by Garri.

the leaders present. And now they pro-
pose to foment another rebellion at the
North by the suppression of free speech.
But let them beware, lest, like Franken-
stein, they raise another monster they
cannot quell.

FLIGHT OF TIME.

Time speeds way-away-away,
Another hour-anothcr day
Another month--auothcr year
Drop from us like the leaflets scar;
The rose bloom from the cheek departs
The tresses from the temples fall,
The eye grows dim and strange to all.
Time speeds away--nwoy- away.
Like torrents in n stormy day,
lie undcrmines the stately tower,
Uproots the tree and snaps the flower,
And sweeps from our distracted heart
The friends thai lov'd, the friends that blessed
Aud leaves rs weeping on the shore,
To which they can return no more.
Time speeds away--away-away;
No eagle through the skies Of day,
No wind along the hills can fee,
SO swiftly or smoothly ps he,
Like fiery stcei from stage to stage,
Then plunges in the fearless sea,
of fathomless ctcrnty!'

Equal Rights to All--Exclusive Priv-

BY HENRY.
No motto for Americans
More comprehensive seems
Than this, inscribed upon our flag,
That in the sunlight CLEANS.
This pr nciplc Of Liberty
With her shall rise or fall,
Exclusive privilege to none,
But equal rights to all
The lordly srstocracy
Repulse its light with scorn;
But Tyranny's monopoly
or all its power is shorn
When men. in Gods own image, rise
And, at their country's call,
Assert and will defend the cause
OF Equal Rights to ALL"
Nor birth, nor wealth, nor pride, have place
Within the hallowed dome,
Where Liberty her laurel wears
Aud Frccmen find their home.
For brightly glcam the characters
Etched on our cherished scroll,
'Exclusiye privilege to none,
But Equal Rights to ALL"
The poor man, honest in his toll,
The rich with plenty blest,
Shall each hold Freedoms heritage.
had Heaven shall grant the rest
Wen cherish, then, our motto pure,
Freed IN OF Mind and Soul,--
"Exclusive privilege to none,
But Equal Rights to all ~

The Rirnfe Alabama.

New YORK, Feb. ia few days before the
steamer North Star sailed from Key West, a
communication was received BY Rear Admiral
Bailey from cur Consul General IL Havana, in
which he stated that he had just received ole,
graphic dispatch from the II 5 Cnsul ut
Trinidad de Cuba, saying that al English brig
had arrived from Kingston, Jamaica, with in
formation that The Alabama reached hat port
on the Goth ult and landed the officers and
crew Ifthe United States steamer Hatteras,
which was sunk off Gslyestoh-over one hun
dred in number. 1t was further reported that
the Alabama had suffered severely in the fight
with the Hatteras; that she had five shots iS
her hull. one of which, through her stern-post,
was a very bad one. She put into Kingston TO
repair damages, and expected to be ready for
sea in four days. Immediately upon this news
being received in Havana, the United States

ed to do with his own unalded hands. o"We,

from his dwelling to be conveyed hlther with

other and another, TO the end Of his labor. When
his stack became too high for him to place his
