The FLoBIDA's CRUIsE.-The spirited bal
lad on the fourth page this morning, is copied
from the diary already described in the Press
as captured on board the confederate prize
schooner Archer. The ballad gives a lively
and perfectly veracious account Of the cruise,
from the 10Th of January, when the Florida
ran out of Mobile bay, to the capture of the
NJ. j. Colcord, April 18th. The diarist was
soon after transferred TO the Clarence, or Flor
ida No. ?, thence to the Tacony, IL . ice t. the
Archer, and lastly to Fort Preble. The fol-
lowing extract from the statement made BY
Lieutenant Reed, commanding the Tacony, to
the Agent ofthe Associated Press will explain
the illusions Of the poem and at the same time
illustrate its historical character:
On the 10th of January we left Mobile bay.
with steam and every sail set TO the topmost
studding-sail, making fourteen and a half knots
10Th, b urned the brig Estelle; early on the
morning of the 23d left HAVANA, and steamed
TO the eastward; burned the brig Windward,
letting her crew 60 in small boat off Car
denas Light burned the Corris Ann-she Drift
ed into Cardenas harbor; 31st chased BY ma
tional gunboat had the heels of her: Februa-
ny 18th captured the clipper-ship Jacob Bell,
burned her Both March 9th captured the ship
Star of Peace, burned her 4 p NJ March 18th
captured the bark Lapwing; the Lapwnig
was afterwards burned 59th March captured
the bark NJ. j. Colcord and burned her 15th'

The original is in possession of gentleman

up to read as follows:
Arthur st Clair Major General do ac,x-
nowledge the United States of America to no
Free, Independent, and Sovereign states ami
declare the people thereof owe no alIeg,ance

Great Britain, and renounce, refuse and An

The Articles Of Confederation were adopted
in TIT. St. Clair was member OF Congress
in 1876, and the next year was chosen presi-
dent of that body. The National Constitution
Is dated 18th September, 1887, and the first
President was elected under its provision in
1850. st. Clair was appointed Governor of
the Northwestern Territory in 1883 and held
that Office till Ohio became State in 1902.

bridge for the free passage of its citizens over
it, was illegal. 1t has likewise been held,
under similar statutes in other States, that a
town has no right to raise money for the ceie-
bration of any great national event,-as the
capture of CORVALLIS, or the Declaration of
Independence So it was decided in Energ
.. Hooper, IA Maine r., 375, in the very clear
and conclusive opinion of Mr. Chief Justice
Shepley, that town has no authority to raise
money for the purpose of redstributing it
among its citizens. Much more, then. towns
have no authority to raise money to give as a
mere gratuity to one or more citizens, to ena-
BILE them to escape the performance of services
which every citizen should cheerfully render,
as due to the government, upon the prosperity
and perpetuity of which the future hopes of
humanity must rest.
Were town to raise money to be distribut-
ed to favored individuals, the tax assessed for
such purpose could not for moment be up
held. Still less can it be, when the obvious
and inevitable tendency of it would be, to de-
feat the object for which the act of Congress
before referred to was passed, That was an
act TO raise soldiers, not to raise moneu
Its primary and special purpose was to sup
press instruction by means ofan armed force,
to be raised in pursuance of its provision. If
one town may assess taxes to pay the commu-
tation money of those who may be drafted, so
may all; and the government would be left
without a soldier for its protection, and the
nation surrendered into the power of those
who are warning for its overthrow. BY such
a course the wealth and taxable property of
the community would be diverted from the
defence of the government, and the resources
of the State would be turned to its destruc-
ton, by depriying it of the means necessary
for its preservation.
We therefore answer each of the interroga-
tories in the negative.

Congratulations, and a Hint.
WASHINGTON, June 2

WASHINGTON, June Goth, 1868.
Tothe Editor Of the Press.
As native of Maine / am rejoiced that
you have some pluck in Portland! / tell you
that the same spirit with which an unarmed
steamer retook the Caleb Cushing from the
hands Of the pirates, would clean Pennsyl-
vania of every marauder within her borders.
This is the opinion of many in this city, the
praise of the Collector aud the military and
all who acted with such promptitude and de-
termination in the affair in your harbor, is on
every loyal tongue in this Capital. What bet
ter excuse for hanging back could be needed
Suppose the gallant captains ofthe Chesapeake
and Forest City had brooded in cowardly
conclave over the fact that "Our steamers are
not properly armed! we must have thirty
twos or sixty-fours to meet the shot of the
stolen vessel~ What would have been the
result? Another pirate at sea and the whole
coast of Maine subject to ravagel On the
contrary they "put their steamer head on" and
the result was such as gallant and manly
bearing usually brings.
When this rebel raid into PENNSYLVANIA be-
gan, a determined front would have sent the
the small band of plunderers bowling back.
But the uninterrupted progress of those devils
who went first, invited those behind, and now
there are probably not less than 5000 marau-
ders travelling at large over the rich Cumber-
land valley, with robust men fleeing, white
Tipped and feather-footed before them.
Cheers tor Portland. Let her put her gal
liant captains of the Chesapeake and Forest
City in charge of pirate let them
scour the coast and putting their brave crafts
"head on" sink our modern Kids to the cav
ems of the ocean. Let their charge be like
