NThe encounter hetween the tur-

HT The encounter between the tur-
ret iron-clad Montank and Fort Meal
lister on the 0geechee seems to have
shown both the steamer and the Fort to
be impregnsble. The heaviest steel
pointed balls from the Fort glanced of
from the boat or rebsunded from it,
and the tremendous missiles from the
boat could not penetrate the Fort. its
earth-works being about thirty feet in
thickness. But the events of the con-
flict may well be warning to Charles
ton, Savannah, Mobile, and other
Southern ports. They seem to show
that our iron-elads, such as the Mon
tauk, can, in defiance Of Forts and bat
teries. pass into any city-hsrbor and
either destroy the city or compel its sur
render.
Still the actual experiment, the only
test of truth, is yet to be made. We
think that it will be made soon. We
believe that terrific fight will very
soon take place at Charleston, result
ing either in the destruction Of the city
or the destruction or repulse Of the
great iron-clads in front of it. Evident.
ly the iron-clads cannot be disabled ex-
cept by the merest accident. but "sccci.
dents will happen. Lou. Jour.

GRATUIToUs PRIETIEG.-There is no
class of people more imposed upon in
the shape Of gratuitous printing, than
the publishers Of newspapers. There
are persons who expect almost every
species Of notice published gratuitously;
and. if hint is given that a notice
should be paid for. it gives offense.
This is but gross injustice. Not a sin
gle paragraph goes into a newspaper.
but the publisher has to pay for il. Just
as much so as the blacksmith pays for
iron, the shoemaker for leather, the
cabinet maker for lumber, &C., &c. We
are glad to see that many publishers
are reforming this matter, and have de-
termined to charge for publishing no.
tices Of all meetings. public, religious,
or otherwise; also. marriage notices,
deaths, &c. This is perfectly right,
and ought to be adopted by every pub

seeans arrived in this city last night

away through fear of the application O.

fourteen and fifty-fve. Indeed, no one

THE DEMOCRATS REBUKE.

"WE Sroor TO CosoUER."- This insulting
motto, which was borne so triumphantly in
the British Wing Convention, at Baltimore,
called forth from the pen Of private cores
pondent the following indignant rebuke.-
Let it be preserved and read.-fer Era.
You "Stoop to Conquerr"-curse the thought;
The lipt spoke-the hand that peDned it,
Our country never shall be bought,
Nor conquered, while we can defend it;
As cleaves the storm-the mountain rock,
As eleaves the eloud-the eagles pinion,
Well meet oppression's battle shock
And triumph o'er expressions minion.
You ''Stoop to Conquer," Who are you,
That from your mountain height descending,
Break fashions cobweb barriers through,
And with the sons Of freedom blending,
With golden bribe and treacherous smile,
Sow the vile seeds Of rank pollution,
And with your reptile slime defile
The temple of the Constitution!
You "lStOcp to ConquerI" stoop from what
High pinnacles or lofty stations7
What proud -eminence is that
Which We descend TO conquer nations7
Poor houselings of the Federal stye,
Fed on the husks of aristocracy,
Ye quail in fear beneath the eye
OF natures tried and true democracy.
You "Stoop 10 Conquer "'-whom7 the free
Inheritors of glorys banner,
Who never yet have boKed the knee,
Nor sung oppression loud hosannah-
Children Of sires whose valor tore
From tyrants brow the diadem,
And in the march Of nations bore
The first prsud trophy won from them7
"We Stoop to Conquer" May the name
OF him who bore that banner, linger
Forever on the roll of shame,
A mark of scorn's undyIng finger
May they who hailed that banner when
Its dark folds to the sir were given,
Traitors alike to God and men,
From Freedoms home in scorn be driven.
Back to your dens poor drveling fools
Born eOrruptiOn's darkest regions,
Fit only for the servile tools
OF tyranny's accursed legions.
The hearts of freemen while they keep
Watch o'er the thoughts their sires bequeath
them,
Shall blast with curses loud and deep
The words We breathe and lips that breathe
them!

BAyE FAITH IN THE FUTURE.
81 rIsIrr JOHNSON.


Have faith in the future,
Though thorns strew your path,
Though the heavens should frown
In darkness and wrath;
Though hopes that are brightest
The soonest decay,
Yet remember '6s darkest
The nearer to day.
Have faith in the future,
Though fortune may frown
And tyrants should trample-
Thy liberties down;
Though trials surround thee
Cast aside al1 fear
Far when darkness is deepest
The daylight is near.
Have faith in the future,
Though hopes have all fled,
Though friends who were truest
Repose with the dead;
Though pain, grief and sorrow
Should in triumph prevail,
Mourn not, or upbfaid not,
Nor let your heart fail.
The waves which are sparkling
IN beauty so bright,
RoIl'd o'er the dark pillows
And rayed them in light;
Hopes sun is uprising,
The night is nigh gone.
Have faith in the future,
The daylight win dawn.

In A TIGHT PLAcE.-When Colonel
Lee, of New York, was collecting sub

statue OF Washington, now standing as
monument Of patriotism and art, in
the Union park. he had occasion to
visit an old curmudgeon in the neigh

ton paper, requested him to add his
name to the list; but old Lucre declined
respectfully.
al do not see," he said, "wbat bene-
fit this statue will be to me; and $500
is a great deal Of money to pay for the

BENEFIT you?" replied the Colonel,
"why. it will benefit you rore than
anybody else. The statue can be seen
from every window OF your house, Sir;
it will be an ornament, ard add dignity
to the whole neighborhood, Sir; and,
Sir, it will perpetuaHy remind you OF

"Ah, Colonel. " answered old Lucre,
81 don't require statue to remind me

and he placed his hand upon his breast.
"Then let me tell you, SIR" replied
Colonel Lee, ''if that's SO, you have

YUBA DAM.
A SIDE SPLITTING STORY FROM HARPEK's
MONTHLY.

MONTHLY.
In the northern part Of California is
a stream called Yuba RIVER. Across it
some enterprisiBg individual built =
bridge. and on the banks somebody
else built three or four houses. The in
habitants called the place Yuba DAM
Three bars were instantly erected and
the town increased rapidly. About
noon one cool day traveller and so-
journer in the land passed this flourish
ing locality, and seeing long legged
specimen of humanity in red shirt,
smoking before one OF the bars, thus
addressed him:
"Hellol"
"Hellol" replied the shirt with Vigor,
removing his pipe from his mouth.
"What place is this?" demanded the
traveller whose name was Thompson.
The answer of the shirt was unex-
pected. a,seft
"Yuba Dami'' G
There was about fifty yards between
them, and the wind was blowing. Mr..
Thompson thought he had been mis-
taken. o
"What did you say?" he asked.
"Yuba Dam," replied the stranger
cbeerfully.
"wbat place is this?" roared Mr..
Thompson.
"Yuba DAM" said the shirt in a
slightly elevated tone Of voice.
''Lookee here;" yelled the irate
Thompson; 81 asked you politely what
place this was; why in thunder don't
you answer"
The shirt became excited. He rose
and replied with the voice OF an eighty
FOUNDER:
"YA-BA-DAMI You hear that?"
In minute Thompson. burning with
the wrath Of the righteous, jumped off
bis horse, and advanced on the stranger
with look that was not to be mistaken.
The shirt arose and assumed a posture
OF offense and defense.
Arrived within yard of him, Thomp-
son said.
81 ask you for the last time, What
place is this?"
Putting his hands to his mouth his
opponent roared, ssB
"YU-BA DAM" a
The next minute they were at it,
First Thompson was down; then the
shirt; then it was a dog fall-that is,
both were down. They rolled about
kicking up tremendous dust. They
squirmed around so energeticaIly that
you'd have thought they had a dozen
legs instead Of four. II looked like a
prize fight between two pugilistic cent?
pedes. Finally they both rolled off the
bank and into the river. The water
cooled them. They went down to-
gether and came up separate, and put
out for the shore. Both reached it
about the same time, and Thompson
scrambled up the bank, mounted his
war like steed, and made tracks, lesv-
ing his foe gouging the mud out of one
Of his eyes.
Having left the business part Of the
town, that is to say, the corner where
the three bars were kept, be struck
house in the suburbs, before which a
little girl about four years Of age was
playing.
"Wbat place is this, sissy" he
asked.
The little girl. frightened at the
drowIed rat figure which the stranger
cut, sreaked it for the house. Having
reached the house, she stopped, turned
and squesled,. '
"Ou-bee Daml'
"Good Heavens!" said Thompson,
digging bis heels between his horses
ribs-"Good Heavens! let me get out
of this horrid place, where not only
the men, but the very babes and suck
lings swear at inoffensive travellers"
