No "CoMpRoMIsE PossIBLE-Even the En-
glish friends of the Confederacy are beginning to
wake up to the radical and "irrepressible char
acter of the conflict now going on in this coun-
try. AS the war goes on-as they perceive more
clearly the great question at issue, and the ire
mendous passions that have been called into &C
tivity, they recognize the undoubted fact that no
compromise is possible, and that the war must
go on until the spirit and resources of the one
party or the other is exhausted. A late issue OF
the London Saturday Rericw says
u The Fort Pillow atrocities will prove the i'm
possibility of making any compromise with
slavery. 1t gives rise to passions that must be
curbed at any cost, and to an insolent contempt
for humanity and the rights of others that must
be trampled under foot by power stronger than
its own. Whether the North wishes it or not,
it must persevere to the end Free society ana
slave society can never again live side by side,
and so long as the resources of the Confederacy
hold out, the Federals must submit to the sacIi-
fees necessary for carrying on the war; NOM
ing but exhaustion on the one side or tne otner
can stop the conflict, and they are rash prophets
who venture to affirm that the free society VIII
be the first to collapse.

NUMBER %.


Some fellow, Copperhead, probably, has said
that the poets of America, like their compeers,
the novelists, have all gone crazy over the war,
and can think and write of nothing else. Here
is production in the shape of parody upon
the good old song "No One to Love" which
conclusively proves that there is yet something
of the Bobby Burns and George Byron cast OF
insanity" influencing the mind and animating
the buzzum of one of these ETHEREAL writingers.-
We publish it for the especial benefit of a bach
elor friend at Douglas City who is partial to the
old song:
No to hug-I am undres't,
Sleeping alone in my bachelor nest;
Cold are my feet, warmth Is unknown;
For I'm bachelor, sleeping alone
No gentle voice, no loving kiss
Makes me rejoice in rapturous bliss.
No to hug am undres't,
Sleeping alone in my bachelor nest
Cold are my feet warmth is unknown: -.
For I'm bachelor, sleeping alone.
In dreams alone loved ones see
And well-known voices then whisper to me
Signing. Wakefield like a Sheep
To find Pve only been fooled in my sleep.
Oh, dreadful thought what would stay
Unmarried, uncaught, from woman away!
No one to hug &c.
No one to hug-I am undrest-
No to share my bachelor nest.
Trusting wait like lone dore,
For dear mate to share in my love.
Oh, bliss in store OH joy mine own,
Then I'll sleep alone.
No hug &C.

Remarkable Masonic Incident.

The hrst Masonic funeral that ever took place
IN California occurred in ls49 and was performed
over the body of a brother found drowned in the
bay of San Francisco. An account of the cere-
monies states that on the body of the deceased
was found silver mark of Mason, upon which
were engraved the initials of his NAME little
further investigation revealed to the beholders
the most singular exhibition of Masonic emblems
that were ever drawn by the ingenuity of man
upon the hnman skin. There is nothing in the
history or traditions of Freemasonry equal to it.
Beautifully dotted on the left arm in red or blue
ink, which time could not efface, appeared all
the emblems of the Entered Apprentice. There
were the Holy Bible, the Square and Compass,
the "a inch Guage and the Common Gavil.-
There was also the Mosaic Pavement representing
the ground floor of King Solomon's Temple,
the indented TRUSTEE which surrounds it, and
the Blazing Star in the center. On his right
arm, and artistically executed in the same indel-
ble liquids, were the emblems pertaining to the
Fellow Craft degree, viz the Plumb, the Square
and the Level. There were also the five columns
representing the five Orders of Architecture-the
Tuscan, Doric, Ionic Cornthian, Composite.
In removing the garments from his body, the
Trowel presented ITSELF with all the other work.
ing tools of operative Masonry, besides all the
emblems peculiar to the degree of Master Mason.
Conspicuously on his breast were the great Lights
of Masonry Over his heart was the Pot OF In
cense. On the other parts of his body were the
Beehive, the Book of Constitutions guarded by
the Tyler's Sword the Sword pointing to
naked heart, the Al-seeing Eye; the Anchor
and Ark, the Hour Glass, the Scythe, the Forty
Seventh problem in Euclid the Sun, Moon,
Stars and Comet the three Steps, mathematical
of Youth, Manhood and Age. Admirably exc
cuted was the weeping Virgin, reclining on
broken column, upon which lay the Book OF Con-
situations. In her left hand she held the Pot of
Incense, the Masonic emblem of a pure heart,
and in her uplifted hand Sprig of Acacia, an
emblem of the immortality of the soul. lmme-
diately beneath her, stood winged Time with
his scythe by his side which cuts the brittle
thread of life, and the Hour-Glass at his feet,
which is ever reminding us that our lives are
coming to a close. The whithered and attenua-
ted fingers of the Destroyer were delcately
placed amid the long and greatfully flowing
ringlets of the disconsolate mourner. Thus
were the striking emblems of mortality and i'm
mortality and Immortality beautifully blended in
one pictorial representation 1t was spectacle
such as Masons saw before, and in all
probability such the fraternity will never wit
ness again. The brothers name was never
known.

Germany Threatens England.

The following fierce talk from Germany to En-
gland is from the Vienna paper, Die Presse:
The infamous storm of applause with which
the representatives of the people and the press
of England greeted the supposed naval victory
of the Danes at Helgoland, would furnish a
fresh proof if it were necessary, that public
opinion in the British Isles is straying from all
the sound traditions of English policy, and has
lost all consciousness, not only of the rights of
others, but of the interests of Great Britain
England requires Austria in the East, where
France is her rival and never will be her ally,
England requires Prussia and the German Con-
federation, for on the day when the three groups
of Germany to understanding to give
Antwerp and Holland to French policy, the po-
siton of England as naval power will receive
greater blow than if Schleswg-Holstein were
incorporated with Germany and Kiel gave shelter
to a splendid German feet And what is it.
makes the English think themselves so sure in
this respect? Is it then so impossible that the
German Governments may one day lose all pa
thence, and begin to think whether the friend
ship of Continental France-which in the end,
has peace to ofer,-or the friendship:
of that insulter England, who offers Germany,
nothing but insult, humiliation, and brutal
haughtness and selfshness, be most advanta-
geous? Whichever way Germany turns, she
sees England allied with her enemies. In the
Schleswig- IIolstein question she goes hand in .
hand with Russia, Denmark and Sweden in the
Italian question she fraternizes with those who
would detach Trieste and South Tyrol from Ger-i
many and how often have miserable English:
scribblers threatened for weeks past that En-
gland would certainly make no resistance if-Sa--
poleon Ill extends the frontier of his empire al
the cost of Germany? Wherever a people as.
serts right to insult the honor of Germany. TO
rob German territory, and trample ON German
rights, it is to meet with the warmest ap-
plause and sympathy Of both the high and low :
mob in England. What reason, then, has Ger !.
many what reason has Austria to have any re-
gard for England In fact would be excusabie
if policy to be adopted, which, at the :
cost of some sacrifice even, would bride this
English arrogance The Napoleonc policy only
waits for the opportunity, which Germany offers
it, to show England how little weight she will
henceforth have in Europe. Germany will never
forget the 9th of May. She will engrave that
day on her memory, which has carried outrage
to its highest point The English haze now sue
ceeded in lighting up fame of hatred from one
end of Gerany to the other. They would have
it let their wish be accomplished day will /,
come when she will settle accounts with her ar
rogant neghbors across the sea.

DURING General Birney's recent raid through
Florida, bright little girl was found alone at
one house, the parents having skedaddled. She
was rather non-committal, for she did not know
whether the troops were Union or rebel. Two

informed one of her questioners that their names
were Gilmore and Beauregard. g Which il the

York got himself into trouble by marrying Two
wives.
A western editor replies by assuring his CO.
temporary that good many men in that section
have done the same thing by marrying one.
A Northern editor retorts that quite number
of his acquaintance found trouble enough by
barely promising TO marry, without going any
further.
A Southern editor says that friend of his
was bothered sufficiently, when simply found in
company with another mans wife.

The UNION WE WANT.-Captious demagogues
and fault-hnding newspapers are lnsultlnSly ln-
quiring of loyal men, devoted to the Union OF
these States, what kind of Union they want.
We think that we can answer for all true-hearted
Union men.
We do not want Union distracted by Sec
tional hates and jealousies and struggles for SUI
premacy We do not want a Union characterized
by South Carolina notifications, by Mississippi
populations, Alabama lynchngs, Virginia ideas
of State Rights Lecompton Constitutions, Kan
sas highway robberies, House of Representatives
fstcufs, Senate Chamber cudgelings, Border
State wars or John Brown raids We do not
want Union that is incompatible with liberty
of speech and thought. We do not want Union
in portion of which man, resident or travel
ing, cannot speak, nor even privately cherish an
opinion for against slavery, or any moral or
social question that has arisen or may arise,
without being exposed to imprisonment or a
violent death, as has been the case in the South.
We do not want Union in which man S birth
place, either North or South of given line, dis
qualities him for Office of high trust. We do
not want Union in which portion OF the peo-
pie shall be laying up arms and drilling sol
diery, in evident and express preparation for the
battles of disunion Rather, if it please the
curious and inquisitve, we want Union as 1t
was during the first half century of our ma
tional existence, when every man was allowed to
quietly own and peaceably dispose of what he
might hold under the Constitution. We want a
Union in which, when one party is beaten at the
ballot-box fairly and under the forms of law all
parties will gracefully bow to the will of the
majority, and if wronged in the selection of
rulers, seek their remedy at the ballot-box in
future contests. In word, we want Union in
which we shall have the harmony and uniformi-
ty of other days-a uniformity based upon the
great prin cipes of the Constitution.
This is the Union we fighting for, and we
intend to have it, or exterminate every rebel
South, and every Copperhead North.-Pdrson

BITTER ON JOHN BULL.-Commenting upon
the fact that the Alabama was an English vessel,
manned with an English crew, and had nothing
American about her except her officers, the Stock
ton Independent gives John Bull the following
cruel wipe:
:" The truth is, modern Englshmen are, as a
mass, not equal to American in any but egotism
in that they can beat the entire world
We have overcome them in every equal encoun-
ter by sea or land, in peace or war, and at this
very moment American steamers and American
merchants are monopolizing the interior trade of
China, and driving out British competition from
regions which they conquered for themselves
The vast quantities OF beer and beef which they
consume make them stupid and slow. An Amer
lean sailor would load and fire his gun before an
Engishman could get ready to work, and that
hardness of action and mechanical routine is
probably the reason why the Kearsarge had the
alabama in a sinking condition before she re-
ceived any damage herself. We advise the rebels
when next they float pirate craft to mann her
with more active sort of cattle. Semmes is an
efficient officer no doubt and well up in Ameri-
can naval tactics but,what can an officer do with
inferior men ?"
