The Hoosier S Nest.
KY JOHN FINLEY, ESQ

I'm toii in riding somewhere West,
4 stranger foGni = Hoosieg's Sest.
In other words Backeye Cabin.
Jus; big enoash 70 hold oaeea Nab in;
It's situation low. bit siry,
Was oG the bo7iers OF prairie.
And fearing he might be benisl;ed.
He hailed the house, and then 44ghied.
The Hoosier met hin Al the door,
Their situations soon were Ger;
He took the strangers horse aside,
And to a sturdy sap..ng tied
Then. having stripped the saddle OF,
He fed him 4 a sugar trough.
The stranger stopped to enter il.
The entrance closing with a pins
And manifested strong desire
To sit by the log-heaP fire,
Where hsi:-a-dozen Hoos;eroous.
With mCsh and milk. tia.caps and spoons,
White heads, bare feet and dirty faces.
Seemed much inclined to keep their places;
But madam. anxious to display
Her rough and undisputed sway,
Her offspring 70 the ladder led
And cufei the youngsters Up 10 bed.
Invited shortly 10 partake
OF veuison. milk and Johnay-cake.
The stranger made hearty meal,
And glances round the room would steal;
One side was lined with divers garments,
The other spread with skins OF varmipts;
Dried pumpkins over head were strung,
Where venison hams in plenty hung;
Two rifles placed above tile door.
Three dogs lay stretched upon the floor
IN short, the domici. was riie
With specimens OF Hoosier life.
The host. who cen;ered bis affections
On game, and range, and quarter. sections,
Diseoursed his weary guest for hours.
TIL Somnus' all-eomposing powers
OF sublunary cares bereft en-;
And then-No matter how the story ended,
The application | intended
Is from the famons Scottish poet,
Who seemed TO feel as well as know It,
That bugly chiels and clever hizzies
are bred in sic 4 way as this IS.

IN this way my entire satisfaction with what
you have done up to this time, so far as IN

wish not to obtrude any restraints or constrants
upon you While am anxious that any great
disaster or the capture OF our men in great
numbers shall be avoided, know these points
are less likely to escape your attention than
they would nine. If there be anything wanting
within my power to give. do not fail to let me

We now, as we always have done, scont the

Lincolns war is osteusibly for the Union, but
practically for the negro. For our part we
care but little about the distinction. There
are many who support Mcclellan because they
think be will. if necessary, carry on the war
constitutionally for the Union. We will not

REBEL CoNsIsTENcy.-TheS South is fighting
for the right of Secession. That right was
expressly recognized in the Constitution of the
Coufederacy. Having lesalized this principle
so far as in their power, and having fought in
favor of it for three years one would think that
the rebels would live up to it. Bat 10. North
Carolina talked of seeding from Secession, as
the Confederate Constitution gave her the
right to, but she was told that she wouid not
be allowed TO go. Troops were stationed
throughout the State to coerce North Carolina
to remain in the Southern CoBiederacy. Thus,
while in Virginia rebel soldiers were lighting
for the rIgh, Of secession, soldiers in North
Carolina. commanded by the same chief were
fighting against that night. Could anything
more plainly demonstrate the utter absurdi,y
of the political dogma in behalf Of which the
South commenced war ?-Bee

SPEECH OF GENERAL WooI-The citizen
soldiers of Troy entertained their military
brethren of Albany lately, and General Wool
made the following neat little speech:
No persons are more welcome TO NE at all
times than those who have defended their
country. They have place in the hearts Of
their fellow citizens who regard soldiers as the
most noble ornaments of the State, and deem
traitors as the greatest curse TO The nation.
You have been defending the Government. 1t
is a coed Government it is the best Of all
Governments it is the poor mans Government
In ii the poor man can walk forth as proudly
as the rich and before this rebellion the same
privilege existed in every one OF its States. All
had the privilege of free speech, free suffrage
and tie right TO bear arms. Nan might walk
abroad in his majesty To this attribute the
great prosperity of this nation, from North 10
South, from the Atlantic TO he Pacific. ln
this prosperity, before the war. none shared to
so great an extent as the South. BY their
wicked rebellion they have thrown away all
their bright prospects and plunged the nation
into war But their efforts to subvert the
Government are uIeuccessiul-and | repeat
that this is the poot mans Government. The
rich can take care 81 themselves. but the laws
must be so framed as TO prevent the poor from
being oppressed. Such is the spirit of our in
sttutons. and long may they be perpetuated,
in spite of Southern rebels and traitors. Gen

say, God bless the Union; God speed its
