THE COPPERHEAD

There Is peace in the swamp where the Copperhead
sleeps,
Where the waters are stagnaut-the white vapor
creeps,
Where the musk Of Mangolia hangs thick In the air
And the lilies phylacteries broaden in prayer,
There is peace In the swamp,-though the quiet y
death
Though the mist is mIasma-tho Upas trees breath
Though no echo awakes the soft cooling OF doves
There is peace-yes, the peace that the oopperhead
loves.
Go seek him-he coils In the ooze and the drip
Like thong idly flung from the slave drivers whip
Beware the false footstep-the stumble that brings
A deadlier lash than the overseer swings
Never arrow 30 true-neverbullet SO dread
As The straight steady stroke Of that hammer shaped
bead,
Whether slave, or proud planter, who braves that
dull crest.
Woe to him who shall trouble the Copperhead',
rest
Then why waste your labors brave hearts and strong
In tracking trail to the Copperhead's den?
Lay your axe to the cypress-hew open the shade
To the free sky. and sunshine Jehovah has made;
Let the breeze ofthe North sweep the vapors away,
Tin the stagnant lake rpplethe freed play,
And then to your heel You may righteously doom
The Copperhead born Of its shadow and gloom

To the Editors Of the Press:
An article in the Press with the above head
ing, states that the can buoy ON this ledge
which is the outer ledge on the starboard hand
in entering our harbor, was reported adritt by
Mr.. Moody, the keeper of the Marine Observ-
atory. The Light House Tender at once pro-
ceeded TO replaceit." reported to Mr.. Hinkley
in thu Light House Office on Feb. It'll. that the
buoy had drifted in the gale OF the 5th or 9th,
two miles northeast from the ledge, and in
formed him that vessels leaving the buoy on
the starboard hand, and hauling up for Port
land Light, would bring up on the Ledge. He
said he would attend to it, but the buoy vessel
was away and he was looking for her in.
suggested employing the steam tug. which
could do it promptly. The buoy was not re-
placed until Tuesday, the 18th. 1t could have
been set on the Sth as well as in ten days az
forwards. The extra cost of employing the
tug is trihing, compared with the risk Of prop
erty and life.
The article further stated, as it took till
nearly dark to raise it, the Tender had to
stand in to the Roads and anchor over night"
Mr.. Moody informed me that the buoy was
taken up in the forenoon. BY the help Of the
tug the schooner could have been towed in
one hour to the spot from which the buoy
drifted.
The writer states that the British steamer
North American came in early and could not
find the buoy" The steamer came in late in
the afternoon.
When Capt Green was in the Light House
Office, Mr.. Moody and myself reported to him
one Sunday at noon, that the Bulwark Ledge
buoy was one mile west OF its place, and at
O'Clock p. NJ, the schooner Vigilant, Captain
Riley, with the crew of schooner Frank Pierce
on board in tow of steam tug Uncle Sam,
started for the ledge, and at 4 O'Clock p. NJ,
the buoy was set. II was showing hard when
we left Franklin wharf, and while towing the
schooner vigilant parted her hawser twice on
account of the heavy sea, and we We're obliged
to use the tugs large hawser.
The writer says there are from ''1S to 20 feet
on it at low water" There are but ~ feet at
low water.
Buoys on dangerous shoals cannot be too
strictly attended to.
