Old Times and New.

When was young crime was crime-it had no
other name.
And when twas proved against man. he had to
bear the the blame.
The called the man who stole, thief-they
wasted no fine feeling;
What folks call petty larceny in my day was
called stealing.
They did not make reprobate the theme of song
and story,
AS if the bloodier were his hands, the brighter
was his glory.
And when murder had been done, could they
the murderer find,
They hung him as they would crow, terror to
mankind.
But nowadays it seems to me, whenever blood
is split,
The murderer has his sympathy proportional to
And when the law has proved man to be sec
ond Cain,
A dozen Jurors will be found to bring him in
insane.
And then petitions will be signed, and texts of
of scripture twisted,
And every effort will be made TO have the law
resisted,
Until the man who proved to be as bloodthirsty
as Nero,
Will walk abroad like other men, only greater
hero.
When ] was young if a man had failed, he shut
up house and ali,
And never ventured out at night if he ventured
out at all.
And his wife sold all her China plates, and his son
came home from college,
And his girls left school, and learned to wash
and bake and such like knowledge.
They gave up cakes and pumpkin pies, and had
the plainest eating,
And never asked folks home to tea, and scarcely
went to meeting;
The man that was bankrupt called was rather
Stunned of men,
And hardly dared to show his head among his
townsfolk then;
But now. a-days when merchant fails, they say
he makes penny
His wife don't have gown the less, and his
daughters Just as many;
His sons do smoke their choice cigars, and drink
their costly wine,
His wife goes to the opera, and he has folks to
to dine.
He walks the street, he drives his9gig, ,smen show
him all civilities,
And what in my day were called debts, are now
called liabilities,
They call the man unfortunate who ruins half the
city.
In my day twas the creditors to whom we gave
| the pity.

New MODE OF BLoqKADE RUNNING.
"A rebel letter says the Federals have
adopted new mode of running the block
ade-tbat is, instead of taking in a cargo
in boat, they set barrels of provisions
adrift, and allow them float past the batter
les at Vicksburg, when they are fshed out
by the feet The trick has been discov-
cred by the Confederates, and their men
have gone to fishing, and the result, so far
has been the catching of number of bar
rels Of salt mackerel, pork, &C., perhaps
the first time that salt fish we're ever caught
in the Mississippi.

Nuncio in Paris I'M. Veuillot," writes a
Paris correspondent, "dmanded his papers /;
some were restored to him, but the greater
part to the address of the Nuncio, retained.
He went off instantly to the Nuncio, and
informed him of what had happened. His
Excellency was greatly excited; he went
straight to the Foreign Office, demanded
explanations, and declared that if his papers
were not given up he should there and
then break off all diplomatic relations with
the French Government, demand his pass
ports and quit Paris"
1t was explained that the seizure of the
papers was in consequence of information
being given that M. Veuillotwas made the
channel of communication between the cler-
gy and the Court of Rome, wTb view to
certain manifestations on, cs part of the
clergy in the matter Of t'aO oaliS-of exooln-
munication. The Nuncio's demand ives,
however, complied with, and the papers Civ
en- up. The Nuncio was so far weak that
M. Yeuillot had forgotten or neglected to
have himself described in his passports as a
courier or as bearer of dispatches to the
Pope's Ambas sador in Paris. There was
no seal on the papers, and otherwise moth
ing official about them /; and, moreover, it
was an inlraction of the Post Office regula-
tions to bring letters or dispatches as pri-
vate person. The Nuncio has got his pa
pers, M. Veuillot has got those that belong
ed to him, and will doubtless take care not
to be too intimate with the plausible persons
he may happen to meet in railwry carriage
when next he goes to Rome

arysville Appeal, of June 9th says:
Mr.. Elliott, the Engineer of the Oregon
Railroad, will probably perfect his arrange
ments to-day, 50 as to leave by tomorrow
for the commencement of the survey The
expedition gVill consist of about twelve per-
sons. A four-horse wagon will carry all
the furniture and stores needed to be-
gin with. The party will have one wall
tent 32xl2 feet, two wall-tents l2xS feet.
a cooking stove, extension table, camp
stools, pulu mattresses and blankets. The
tents are set up in Hudson's lumber yard.
and were made by Martin of this city
The blankets are of California manufac-
ture, and said to be twice as warm and du-
rable as Eastern made, of the same price
The line Of survey up the valley to Shasta
will lie mostly over level country and
can be run very rapidly. At Shasta par
ty of four or five will join the expedition
from Oregon, headed by Mr.. Belden,
competent engineer, whse familiarity with
the topography of that State will be of
great service to Mr.. Elliott.

SOUTHERN UNITY The Richmond
Enquirer of May 30th, admits that there
is large number of persons in the Con-
lederacy whose fidelity to the rebel cause
depends entirely upon rebel successes, and
who, anticipating the fall of Yicksburg, be-
gin already to talk of peace and compro-
mise, and of overtures to the Northwest
That paper says:
If it be fated that, in spite of all human
valor and devotion can do, Vicksburg and
its brave defenders should become the prey
of our enemy, then indeed will come the
tug of wal Then, also, will come the po-
litical crisis Whatever of imbecility and
faint-heartedness and downright latent to-
tryism and treason exist in this Confede-
racy will receive a new accession of weak
ness, many will begin again to cry out for
an honorable peace" as they will call it,
by means of submission to one section of
our invading foes who are now wsfaging over
our country with fire and sword The doc
trine of the necessary unity of the Missis-
sippi Valley from Lake Itasca to the Gulf,
will be again revived by political geogra-
pliers of feeble knees-as if the Mississip-
pi river were different from all other rivers;
as If there was any more unity or continu-
ity in its shores than the shores of the sea;
as if the Great West had a right to our
country because the water flows from their
lands into ours; all this sad nonsense,
which is nothing but cloak for treason
and an excuse for cowardice, would be
echoed and reverberated over the land
again.
