THE SENTINEL

Avery striking picture of cooness and comparison 0c
ours in Hoods Waterloo ballad:
.'Oh prithee, tell, good sentinel,
Whereabouts he lies
Iwant corpse with reddish hair,
And very sweet blue eys."

Appeared to deeply strike;

And pick out which you like.

with the army of the Potomac furnishes the fol-
lowing amusing incident; sAlong our extreme
left wing the rebels had latterly made themselves
troublesome, and one or two attempts had been
made by them to throw across the river, from be-
low Fredericksburg, portion Of their cavalry for
reconnoitering purposes, or a raid probably. o.
ders went forth to push our picket line further
down in that direction, to look out for the marau-
ders: and few hundred men marched, with three
days. rations in haversacks to perform this duty.
An accomplished contraband cook IN one of the
messes went along with this expedition. Strict
orders were given to perform the service quietly,
and keen out of sight By daylight, while private
property and live stock was not to be disturbed.
~And mind now boys" said the commander
of the guard, ercely, sno marauding, no foraging,
no robbery, but permit nothing and nobody to
pass the lines that can't give the countersgn."
Just after midnight, Sambp and his comrade, on
picket duty, heard soft step near them suddenly.
"Halt! !" shouted the picket
wWho 90 dar - added the darkey cook.
But no. answer came from the intruder.
"Halt!' repeated the guard.
"Vapce, an give de countcrsign," insisted
Sambo.
On came the party addressed, but without re-
spending amidst the darkness, when the contra
band cook suddenly discovered the visitor to be a
fine yearling calf-astray. The amin al was just
passing the lines witsout giving the countersign,
when two bayonets were quietly passed through
his lungs. and he became Sambo's prize.
The officers and men had a very nice veal break
fast off that capture, and the "calf head and
pluck, as served up for our by the black cook,
was the daintiest dish I ever put tooth into.

whilst the miserable renters cheated out O
almost all their incomes BY the

in utter despair; supporting mis-.

mad Abolition policy now ruling the hour

OLD TIMES.

Does any one of our readers recolect
having seen some ten years ago-nay, only
five years ago-the following petition in
circulation in this State? We do. Every
year, for many years, this petition went the
rounds, and was signed by all, or nearly all,
the leading abolitonists Of New England.
Such men as Garrison and Phillips headed
the list of signers. We know many Of those
who signed it in this city, and all of them
are now supporters of the radical policy of
Lincoln's Administration. They call them
selves unconditional Unonists, and denounce
all Democrats as Copperheads and traitors.
We do not know that Abraham Lincoln
ever signed one of these petitions; but we do
remember his declaration: "That house
divided against itself cannot stand" and
that the Union "could not exist part slave
and part Free" Here is the petition we
allude to-
To the Senate and House Of the United
States: The undersigned, citizens and in.
habtants OF -, respectfully submit to
Congress that, in the nature of things, an.
tagonistic institutions can never unite.
That an experience of more than three
| SCoIo ycdIS IdS uclIIoHSIIdlcu Judt tlltT6 can
be no real Union between the North and
South. We therefore believe that the time
has come for new arrangement of elements
so hostile, of interests 80 irreconcilable, of
institutions so ineongruous and we earnestly
request Congress, at its present session, to
take such initatory measures for the speedy,
peaceful and equitable dissolution of the
existing Union, as the exigencies of the
case require, leaving the South to depend
upon her own resources, and to take all the
responsibility in the maintenance Of her
existing slave system, and the North to
organize an Independent government in ac'
cordance with her own ideas of Justice and
the rights of man.
Accompanying this document WAS the
following:
N. B.-The person to whom this document
is submitted is earnestly requested to circu-
late it for the signature of men and women,
and see that it is speedily sent to either
Senators Wade, Wilson, Hale, Seward and
Fessenden, or to any other suitable Repre-
sentatsve in Congress-
Wade, Wilson, Hale and Fessenden are
still u. S. Senators, and Seward is LincoIn's
"Premer." All of them are distinguished
leaders Of the present unconditional Union
loyal party" Providence Post.

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN-Socrates, at
an extreme age, leared to play musical i'm
struments, for the purpose of resisting the
influences of old age.
Cato, at eighty years began to learn the
Greek language.
Plutarch, when between seventy and eigh.
ty, commenced the study of Latin.
Boccaccio was thirty years of age when he
commenced his studies in polite literature.
yet he became one Of the three great masters
of the Tuscan dialect. Dante and Petrarch
being the other two.
Sir Henry Spemau neglected the sciences
in his youth, but commenced the study Of
them when be was between fifty and sixty
years of age. After this age he became a
most learned antiquarian and lawyer.
Colbert. the famous French minister, at
sixty years of age returned to bis Latin and

ENGLISH TAVERN SIoNs.-The London corr
respondent of the Boston Commonwealth,
in his many walks about the great city, no.
tices great many curious things. He says:
Her are anachronisms in brick and stone,
which are quaint and striking. Here are
old names and words which are droll and
historical. The old inns especially are Of
this character. Over the door of one Of
these we see large bull carved, and below
it large mouth, stretched from ear to ear

THE OLD COUPLE.

The old man sits with folded arms
In his easy chair to-day;
His happy wife, with crossed palms,
HUNS snatchcs from the olden psalms,
In cheerful kind of way.
'Tis sweet to see this aged pair
Who have loved so long and we'll.
Each others joys so fondly share,
And every little grief and care
Alike each bosom swell.
'Tis fifty years since they were wed,
Just fifty years to- day.
They have outlived the early dead
But age has bowed each silvery head;
They soon will pass away.
Well may their dim and faded eyes
Fill up with pearly tears,
AS visions of their youth arise,
And memory on its mission flies
Back to those sinless years.
Again they tread the village green
Where infancy they played,
O'erjoycd at the familiar scene,
Until a shadow comes between,
And joyous visions fade.
Then comes q gleam Of later years,
OF friends so tried and true,
Who sympathsed in all their fears,
And wiped away their bitter tears,
And made their sorrows few.
"Where are they now?' the old man cries,
"The cherished friends of yore;"
And pointing to the archng skies,
The goodwife tearfully replies
"They arc all gone before;
And soon our march will ended be,
We've nearly reached the shore;
We've sailed upon lfe's stormy sea
For nearly tourscore years and three;
Our journeys almost o'er."

THE SUMNER DoCTRINE,-Senator Sumner
assumes that the rebel States, by their act Of
secession and resistance to the United States
authority vacated their State Governments,
forfeited them, and that the territory of said
States is now in condition of "clean
slate" upon which the United States Gov
ernment could write such rules for Gov
ernment as it might adopt His position is
that the rebel State Governments were alb
rogated by the act of treason they commit
ted, and that it is not only the right but the
duty Of Congress to declars them Territories,
and proceed to furnish them Governments
as Territories.

Another Straw from England.

The uprising Of the people Of England
in favor Of the American Union, and
their approval of the determination Of
the loyal States TO put down the Rebell-
ion, no matter at what cost, may explain
some recent movements on the part of
the British Government, and some chang
es in even the most rabid Of the British
press. The withdrawal Of the consul
from Charleston, the order Of the Ala
bama out Of two West India ports with
in a few weeks past, the universal con-
demnaton of the Lord Mayor Of Lon
don for inviting refugee rebel to an OIL
cial feast, are straws, perhaps, but they
show which way the wind is now set
ting. The following extract from the
London Tines is another straw worth
noting:
Between the North and South there is
at this moment raging a controversy
which goes as deep as any controversy
can into the elementary principles Of hu-
man nature, and the sympsthies and an
tipathies which in so many men supply
the place of reason and reflection. The
North is for freedom of discussion, the
South represses freedom of discussion
with the tar-brush aud the pine fsgot.
The South has become enamOred Of her
shame. Free labor Is denounced as de-
grading and disgraceful; the honest tri-
umphs of the poor man who works his
way TO independence arc treated with
scorn and contempt.
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1863-03-18
PROSPECTUS
or THE
NASHVILLE UNION.

The NASHVILLE UNION was commenced last spring,
for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern Con
ederacy and OF advocating the restoration Of Federal
authority, without any abatement over all the States
which have attempted TO secede. It's object was to
proclaim tho doctrines Of Liberty and Union, as they
we're once expounded by the fathers Of the Republic,
but which for more than one ycsr-the long and
dreary carnival Of tresson--had been unspokon and
unwrtten in the Capital Of the State Of ANDREW
JACKSON and were treasured up only in the hearts Of
tho faithful. We believed that the rpht way to
duct loyal Journal in city like Nashville at such
time as this, was to raise tho wavering a1d timd
up to the true standard of patriotism, and not TO
lower the standard Of patriotism, after the manner Of
ohor Journals to suit the deprayed tastes Of the
semi.loyal and sympsthizers with the Richmond dy-
nasty.
The UNION, therefore, has held friends all who
support and foes all who oppose, the Union Of the
States. It's watchword Is FREEDoM AND NATIONALITY.
with rebels and traitors it has no compromise to
make. II contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made in pursuance thereof as the SUPREME
LAW OF THE LAND, anything in the Constitution and
Laws Of any of the States to the contrary notwith
standing
1t contends for the Union Of the States, because
without It the preservation Of liberties and ius,
tutlons and the organization Of society Itself are
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands IN
the way Of crushing the rebellion and restoring
the Union must perish, matter by what name 1t
be called.
When thousands Of our citizen soldiers lay down
their lives upon the altar Of thsr country, sacri
Zee above all earthly price, and precious in the sight
of Heaven, God forbid that any ignoble motive Of
solfnteresl should make any man wayer In his 10y
atty, II there be any such, Let them look at the
blood Of Shiloh, Fort Donelson, Murfreesboro and
fredericksburg, and blush at their wicSedness and
folly. Love for our country should now oyershadow
every other feeling and he Is no patriot who loves
his houses lands or negroes with 1.-THE Of the deyo'
ton which he feels for his country Even prudent
selshness should compel TO be patriots, for who
can hopo to save bis own from the wreck ef
a ruined and dismembered UnioE2
We want to see the land once moro blessed with the
enduring sunshine Of honorable peace based upon
the complete and unconditional submission Of the
rebels now in arms, and not lit up with the decefu
glow Of peace based upon emasoulate loyalty, and
concessions to traitors-the glow Of meteor which
would SHINE only TO betray, and going out would
leave US in darkness tonfod more gloomy than that
which prevailed before.
These are tho sentiments and views which the
UNION will continue 10 advocate through whatever
Of storm or sunshine may await IL in the future aud
we ask the support OF all who boove it to be import
ant that a thoroughly and vigorously loyal newspaper
| should be published In Nashville.

A war letter relates that the men Of
the 26th New Jersey regiment had repeat
edly stolen the fresh meat from the I'd
Vermont regiment, in the night, and ap-
propriated it to their use, Some of the
Vermont boys thereupon killed a dog
dressed it neatly, and hung up the quar-

The Jerseys, mistaking it for mutton,
stole, as usual, and bore it of in triumph
The Nermonters were on the watch, and
ascertained that it was served up next
day upon the table of some of the Jersey
officers. The joke soon became public,
and the Jerseys are greeted when they
visit the camps of the Vermonters, with
a "bow-wOw-wow" by way Of friendly
salutation.
