What the Rebel E'rfvateers Have Don
to American Shipping


Now that attention has been so gene
rally directed to the destruction Of the
Alabama, the work already done by the
rebel pirates tits important to consider.
After the war began, it was necessary to
transfer American shipping to other flags.
A half dozen pirates were committing
such havoc upon the sea, that it was no
longer safe to use an American bottom.
Since 1860, as has been determined by
British authorities, no less than COS
vessels, with an aggregate of 32s,665
tons, estimated at s42, ,2se, $50. have been
transferred to British owners. In addition
to this, al least three hundred, with an ag-
gregnte of 15O, 900 tons, valued at S22, ,5Oo,-
OOO, are sailing under Brazilian, Spanish,
italian, or French colors.
From our five millions of tons in 1860,
exclusive of whaling and coasting tonnage,
the loss by sale and by the rebel pirates
been so great that we now have an aggre-
gate of I,6745l6 tons. Besides all this,
hundreds Of American vessels are rotting
at the wbarves Of New York and in the
East Indies Not an American steamer
crosses the ocean at the present time.
England, France, Bremen and Hamburg
monopolize the carrying Of the mails and
passengers.
1t is certainly very mortifying to any
man who takes pride in the extent and
glory of American commerce, to reflect
that half dnznn pirate -l.;~E.- ats-a e,ss
in English ports, should be able to inflict
so heavy losses on our shipping The
country naturally asks whether Father
Wells is doing all that is possible to check
these brigands ofthe sea. If not, let him
give way to a better man.

Fin the Army.

The work Of recruiting has already be-
gun with considerable briskness in this
city. Now that tits definitely settled that
there can be no commutation in case of a
draft, the people are beginning to think of
filing up their quota under any new call
that may be made.
The large government bounty offered is
already attracting the attention of many,
and by the aid of a small additional local
bounty, recruits are already being muster
ed into the service.
A number of recruiting agents are al
ready in the city, working in quiet way
and by offering a much smaller bounty
than will be paid after while, are filing
up their quotas.
Now is the time to take hold. Get your
ioney ready, either by general contribu-
tons or by assessing a tax according to
the provisions of the Bounty Bill passed
last winter by the State Legislature. In
a few days instructions will be issued from
Washington in regard to the system of re-
cruiting in the rebellious states.
Townships and wards who wish to avail
themselves Of the new plan of recruiting,
should get everything in readiness and go
to work Immediately.
The advantages of going to work now
are apparent. There are but few that are
recruiting now. Many will fail to wake
up until the appearance of another draft
when it will be too late to raise volunteers
except at greatly advanced bounties.
We say therefore, go to work now
Get the machinery for recruiting in order
Get your local bounties ready and be pre-

English Neutrality.

The escape of Captain Semmes and a
large portion of his crew by the assistance
of the English yacht, Deerhound, is an
other example of -' Albion's perfdy." 1t
is now stated that the yacht belonged to
rebel agents in Liverpool, and that its pre-
sence during the engagement between the
Alabama and the Kearsarge was no acci-
dental circumstance.
There certainly seems to be a clear case
of violation of international law in the
manner in which the pirate Semmes was
hurried oft to Southampton, on tho other
side Of the English channel.
Those pirates, drowning Or alive, were
the legitimate prey of Captain Winslow.
The Deerhound, though requested to
assist IN picking up the men in the water,
run of with the prisoners of Captain Win
slow. BE did not pursue the yacht, as he
did not believe it capable Of so great per
Ady.
If this does not constitute case in which
a demand should be made for Semmes and
his crew, then we cannot understand
wherein the justice of surrendering Mason
and Shdell consisted.
But it is also declared now that another
pirate ship is ready for the rebels As
the Alabama was an English vessel,
built, manned, armed, and sailed by Eng
Hshmen, it would be quite consistent with
her previous career if England should al
low another pirate ship to go forth to
ravage our commerce. If this be true,
popular indignation in this country can no
longer be controlled.
The patience of the American people
with this English neutrality viii be
thoroughly exhausted War must and
will be declared against England, if the
system of making and arming piratical
craft is to be continued. If war comes,
English commerce must pay the penalty
of English perfdy.

From the Evening Post.l
JANEEs S. WADsWORTH.


As in the very August of his life,
Full of rich verdure and half golden fruit
He falls, another offering in this strife
Whose cost and worth no numbers may
compute
This contest ofthe Godlike with the brutel
With many noble purpose unfulflled;
With garlands gained in many high
pursuit;
A fame accomplished, which 90 have but
willed
Had swelled herald's scroll and breasts Of
sages thrilled.
Oh, take him to thy bosom, mother earth,
Another of thy beautiful and good,
Another Of thy martyrs at whose birth
No omens rare such glorious course fore
showed.
Whose friends and fellows never under
stood
His aim and action till in death he lay
In dark Virginia's tangled underwood.
What wealth should mark that haryesfs
crowning day
Which drops such golden ears Profusely by
the way!
Farewell, thou true ensample for our age ;
Though summoned to the Presence thou
shalt be
Our comrade still, as year by year we wage
. This war which bids hemisphere be
Aye, in the battle we will think on thee,
Our path with Immortality bestrown,
White from afar thy beckon we may see
With Milton and the Mitchell near the
Throne,
Waiting some high emprise fit for great
souls alone H. O.

Genernl Can't PosItion.

The quiet which has reigned in front Of
~Petersburg for some days, by the unrehect-
ing may be considered as indicating a great
check to the further progress of Grant
With an unreasoning impatience
that is characteristic of us as q
people, we are unwilling to trust
in General Grant, with anything like
the sublime confidence which marks the
army under him. In that faith, so Won
derful in the midst Of such fierce trials,
there is reason. The present position of
both armies, and the necessities imposed
upon each, by virtue Of the present cir
eumstances, point unmistakably to the ul-
timste triumph of our arms. Grant is no
longer compelled to act on the offensive
but by remaining in his present position
may compel Lee to assume theofensive-
With all his communications cut of, the
rebel army and the immense number of
refugees in Petersburg and Richmond, can
no more live than can an army without
air. The very condition of holding Rich
mond is that supplies may be brought to
it from the South and Southwest. That it
viii be impossible to keep the lines of COM
munication intact is evident from the ex-
Periences the rebels have already under
gone. Twenty thousand cavalry can keep
the lines Of railroad constantly interrupted
and prevent the sending ofreinforcements
from point to point.
Time is the chief essential in the sue
cessful ending Of the war. a little of the
sublime heroism Of the army, little of the
spirit Of sacrifice which marks its career,
are alone needed by the people The army
will give US victory.

ANew statement OF the Prob1enn.

The refnements of sophistry are most
frequently witnessed in the effort to main
tain an essentially bad cause. Certain
wise men of the democratic persuasion, are
endesvoring to prove the constitution to
be, not only the supreme law, but the
guardian Of a species of state rights which
protects rebels from all the consequences
Of war.
The democratic party, in the coming
campaign, viii again attempt to carry the
carcass Of slavery. No poor gally slave
ever had more unwelcome task.

NATURE OF THE WORK.
Battlefield work differs in some respects
essentially from army work. Care for the
body is first on the battlefield, while in
the army the great aim is to save the soul,
On the battlefield, life saving and the re-
lief of hunger, thirst, and pain, strain every
nerve and muscle. In the army, talent,
energy, and enterprise are tasked IN public
preaching, private teaching, social meet
ings, and the distribution OF printed truth
Army work affords rare opportunities
for promoting correspondence between the
soldiers and their friends at home, Of beno-
fitting them in health and spirits, and un-
paraileled advantages for preaching the
Gospel to them, and winning them to the
Saviour. It is arranged as follows:
The general field agent selects various
army centres convenient both as positions
from which to reach surrounding sections
of the army, and as places of assembly for
the soldiers who may desire to attend re-
ligious services. Six, eight, or more of
these stations may be established in each
army while at rest, and at each station,
store, subsistence and chapel tents are set
up supplied, and manned. Il
AT these stations daily religious services
are held AT some of them, two snrrinaia a
day, one social and the other preaching
and from them Bibles, Testaments, and re
ligions publications are supplied to chap
lains, and other good men, in such regi-
ments as have those who will take the
pains to come in for them, and make the
proper distribution. And from these sta
tions also, delegates go out canvassing,
supplying, cheering, benefting the soldiers,
regiment by regiment, and hospital by
hospital, through all the army.
In all regiments and hospitals having
chaplains, and offer them such reading
matter for distribution as they may have
at command, and render such service in
aid of the chaplains if desired, as they
may have time to render. "In all cases
the ehaplains are to be strengthened, not
weakened, and assisted, not hindered, in
meeting the responsibilities of their posi-
tiOn.

After waiting six long hours,
And with hunger almost dead,
News came that the track was mended
And the train soon went ahead. i-
Soon We passed place called Johnstown
Filled with iron foundries,
Where the people all working
Like a lot Of busy bees.
Then we came to q great tunnel
Near me sat pretty miss,
And when all was dark as midnight
Quick from her / stole a kiss.
'Oh1 she cried, the people shouted,
Ami, before We reached the light,
was peering through the window,
In my seat again al right.
After passing the great tunnel
To place we quickly came
Upon the highest mountain top,
And Cresson Is its name;
Many people ih the summer
To this pleasant spot repair, cid If
To enjoy its cooling waters
And its pure, fresh mountain air.
At Altoona we took breakfast,
IL was o'clock or more;
Such a lot of hungry mOrtals
ne'er laid eyes on before; o.

In short time did disappear; -..-. .
