PRESENTING Arms to the Duke.


One Of the heaviest of the heavy German SOL
aiera had the duty of mounting guard at one OF
the ducai hunting-seats; and, not TO perplex
he poor fellow, ono single notion, and no more,
was ranaled into his noddle-namely, that he
must present arms to the Duke, should his high
ness pass that way. He was then left to his
sogitations, which, we need hardly say, were
II that class described by Dibden in his song
who, we are told, was thinking of nothing at
I'LL. Tired of his trancendental monotony, the
man had recourse to the universal German So
aee--his sausage and his schnaps. The better
to enjoy these, he laid his frelock on the grass,
and lolling against tree, discussed his creature
comforts with due voracity. While thus en-
jagged, he saw an unpretending person approach,
dressed in the common German hunting dress,
s sort of green smock frock, feathers, and con-
mutations.

These may be called the positive, comparative
and superlative degrees Of German sausage.

sausage; pray, who are your

The Duke always related this anecdote with
indnite glee.

The Gold Panic.

The Chicago Journal says it was the
result of a regular conspiracy among
copperhead politicians. A private let
ter from New York fnancier says:
"The rebel sympathizing politicians
have formed plot for rushing up the
price of gold, in order to make polit-
ical capital against Mr.. Lincoln's Ad-
ministration. The whole crew deserve
hanging as richly as does JEFF. Davis
and his rebel ministers They are in
juring the country and affecting the in
terests of the people more than the reb-
els have been able to do
The effect of this conspiracy has
been TO run gold at one time up to 90
cts, or depreciation of 55 cents on
the dollar of paper, gold being the
basis.
When the panic was near its height
with the prospect of advancing to 10C
per cent. or two for one, Secretary
Chase put stop to matters by paying
out in New York some eight millions
in gold, when it dropped down again te
60 cents. The consequence has been
that number of gold spectators have
failed and gone by the board. Verdict

The Fort Pillow Massacre.


Mr.. Daniel Newhall, of Milwaukee,
has just arrived from New Orleans. He
came up the river and was on board the
first boat that reached Fort Pillow after
the massacre. The Wisconsin says:
"He represents that the horrid de-
tails of that great butchery have not
been half told. Some of the Tennes-
see officers were literally crucifed, their
hands and feet being drawn out in a
horizontal direction, and then nailed up
in that condition, and thus made to die
A great many of the wounded negroes
were burned alive, they being thrown
upon the fire and left to die, after they
had been wounded by gunshot and bay
onet stabs Some of them had pieces
of flesh cut from their bodies. Some
were shot and bayoneted through the
hands as they lifted them to plead for
mercy. No mercy was shown to either
white or black, but fendishness dis.
played fully equal if not far in excess
of the horrid massacre in Minnesota by
the Sioux Indians. 1t seems impossi
BILE that human beings-white men
could thus come down to the level O.

Remains Of Hon. Fl. Clay.

The remains of Kentuckys gallant
statesman, after an interment of twelve
years, were removed upon the death Of
his wife, and placed side by side with
hers, beneath the beautiful monument,
erected to his memory in the Lexington
cemetery. Connected with this event I
may be permitted to allude to a single
fact. A wreath Of immortelles, placed
upon his coffin by his friend, the gifted
poetess, Mrs. Ann S. Stevens, prior to
the removal of his body from Washing
ton, was found to be in an almost per-

The War in Europe -Repulse of the
Germans at Duppel.

Our latest advices from Europe, says
the N. r Herald, state that the Ger
mans have vainly endeavored to capture
Duppel, the Danish stronghold. The
Prussian batteries were deemed very
formidable, and their cannon are rifed,
and those of the Danes are the old fash
Toned smooth bore, it was considered a
matter of certainty that when general
attack was made the Danes would have
to abandon their defences. The result
has proved that these conjectures were
erroneous. The Prussians bombarded
Duppel and made grand attack upon
it. penetrating into the second line
of trenches. They were, however, re-
pulsed, and were forced, after FIVE hours
of hard fighting, to give up the attack,
retreating with considerable loss. This
disaster to the allied forces, added to their
unsuccessful attack upon Frederick and
the repulse of their men-ofwar by the
Danish vessels, will doubtless cause them
to be more willing to grant the armistice
desired by the Danes ere they will accept
conference. We may state here that
the courage eyinced by the Danish sol
diers has won even the admiration
of their enemies, with this inscription
"Here lie twenty-five brave Danes, who
fell heroically on the Itch of March, in
the combat of Duppel." This act re-
fleets credit upon both parties.
1t is asserted in Berlin, in extenuation
of the defeat of the Prussians, that the
attack made by them was against the
orders of the King, who desired that in
no case should any be made except when
positively required by strategical motives
which, in this instance, did not exist
the Prussian officers having made the
attack on the Kings birthday, from an
excess of obsequiousness. AS England,
Austria md Prussia have agreed to
confcrence-evens should Denmark not
be represented thereat-it is likely that
the recent successes of the Danes will
make their enemies more yielding. and
pave the way for more speedy settle
ment of the troubles existing between
them. A peace would save Europe from
those dangerous complications which now
threaten her and, in view of this, the
German Powers will doubtless be strong
ly urged to offer such conditions as the
Danes may accept. Should this course
not be pursued, a general war in Europe
seems almost inevitable, as the Danes
are evidently determined to make des-
perate resistance, which, prolonged,
would drag into the question England
and France.

John C., RiyeS.

This old and distinguished citizen
of Washington. and editor of the Globe.
died on the morning Of the 10th inst,
in the Goth year of his age. We cut
the following paragraps from his obituary
notice in the Globe of the l1th. We
would commend it to the earnest con-
sideration Ct the rising generation
Mr.. Rives was selfmade man. With
out the means to obtain education in
schools, he became well versed in the bust
ness of the world by his aptness for observa-
ton and readiness in applying his faculties.
He was skillful and successful in the vari
Gus pursuits to which he devoted his useful
and laborious life
In the conduct of his affairs. he was a
! perfect, not protested, man of honor
| He never forfeited his word, never per-
mitted convenience to stand IN the way
of his duty. He has sacrificed thousands
on the 70; ced sale of means to cancel engage
ments for which he committed himself for
others, but he was never known to exact
similar sacrifices from those indebted to
| him. He took to himself the rule, s'Do
unto others as you would they should do
unto you," and he bettered the instruction.
/ He allowed none to be as generous to him
as he would willingly be to them. He ex-
pended more in charities than any who
ever lived in this city, though he earned
the means by incessant, well-directed la
Dor, beginning at first by turning the wheel
that moved the Globe presses by his own
strong arm, before steam was applied to
| them
He made no ostentation Of largeness, but
his books show that in single year he paid
out SIT, 900 to support the wives of soldiers
enlisted in the District, besides innumerable
aids in smaller amounts to individuals. He
was devotee in his friendships gratitude
was religion with him land in all the
relations of social life he INDUCED those
around him with the most atfectionate kind
ness, everlasting no one but himself, and
parting with none worn down in the ser
vice of his establishment, but making them
its pensioners when no longer suited to ar
duous exertion. Hewould not even dispose
of an old horse incapacitated for use, but
has had as many as five at one time on his
hands kept in good condition as incapables
for what they had done when able. With
a bosom full of tender affections, he was
so averse to pretension that none but those
in most intimate relations with him could
see through the disgc Use his blunt manners
and sturdy exterior put over him.

N. Y. Sanitary Fair.

The grand Metropolitan Fair, says
the N. Y. Herald of the 10th inst !,
has now been opened one week. and
has produced in our city an excitement
almost unparalleled. Over half million
dollars have been received, thus proving
that the original estimate of one million
as the receipts will be attained, if not
surpassed. The immense success of this
great charitable undertaking is the best
answer that the people can give 70 the
silly speeches made in Congress by Har-
ris and Long. None other need be tried
