THE FREED1IEN,@ SONGS.
The Original Negro minstre1sy Of the
War;


War.
The war has brought into publicity new
and quaint Apeeles Of literature, heretofore
almost wholly unknown. We have now q
curious collection of genuine negro songs,
composed, get to music, and sung by the ne
gro himself In their plaintiye and mourn
fnl sweetness. their tnsariable spirit Of de!o-
ton, and their wild and ir1egullr melody,
they are improvements upon those composed
for our white "nesro minstrels." The lat
ter no doubt surpoes these originals In mean
Ing and In wit, but it will be noticed that
the most popular Of the so-ca1led negro
melodies are thus popular because they pos.
fees come Of the peculiar characteNstics OF
those that correspondents and educated
Northern men, penetrating to the dwellings
Of the Southern negroes, within the last tWo
Tears, hMye noted for the amusement OF loyal
readers. Whittier caught the spirit and tried
to infnse it into bis own composition IN his
song OF the negro boatman ut Port Royal,
beautifully pretacing it.; -.

lMeMrtda correspondence n. !. TEbNne.1
There is story in circulation amoug the
staut communication, by une means, or an
other, with the country outside Of our lines,
that an attempt WIS made to take Forests
life by one Of bis own men, while pursuing
Bturgis to CollteTavflle. II secms that, for
the purpose Of keeping his men up to their
work, he has issued peremptory orders to all
his officers to shoot or cut down every man
who shows !. disposition to run, or in any
way ehirk danger, and that lie has set IN ex.
ample himself By killing seEeral Of Ills men
whoee conduct under fire did not indicate
the existence Of that measure Of courage that
he conceiyes should be possessed by chival-
ric Confederate. During the fight on the 10th
he Disco. cd man falling to the rear, md
dashing up to him, without 9 word, hestruck
a furious blow ut him with his
sabre. The man parried the blow With.
his gun, bnt its force was sufficient
to knock him from bis horse. Forrest
then, with much abneive language, ordered
he did. 1ater in the day, while the Unionists
were retreahng, and the rebels in hot pursuit,
man rode up to Forrest {who, it seems, was
not Immediately accompanied BY bis ataff)

twice in his face. Forrest seized the pistol,
when an officer rode up, and, by heavy blow
with the back of his sabre, knocked him
senscless to the ground. Upon examination
he Was found to be the Same man with whom
Forrest had had the encounter In the morn
ing. Strange as it may seem, the man was
not killed at once, hut was sent to the rear
under guard. He has q family-Muiand by
name--Tesiding in this city, who are of course
in deep, distress at the incvltablo ,fate he
has brought upon himself. From tue way
the story reaches me, have no doubt of its
truth. = -

Somebody's Darling.

Into n ward of the whitewashed walls.
Where the dead and dying lay
Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls,
Somebody's darling was borne one day
Somebody's darling, so young and so brave,
Wearing yet on his pale, sweet face,
Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave,
The lingering light of his boyhood grace.
Matted and damp are the curls of gold,
Kissing the snow Of that fair young brow,
Pale are the lips of delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue-Vsined brow
Brush the wandering waves Of gold;
Cross his hands on his bosom now
Somebody's darling sstill and Geld.
Kiss him once for some body's sake,
Murmur prayer, soft and low;
One bright curl from its fair mates take
They were somebody's pride, you know.
Somebody's hand hath rested there
Was it a mothers soft and white
And have the lips of a sister fair
Been baptized in their waves Of golden light
God knows.bestgl tgl-he was somebody's love
Somebody's heart enshrined him. thors-
Somebody waited his name above
Night and morn on the wings OF prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched.aWsy,
Looking 80 handsome, brave and grand
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody IS waiting and wat ch ing for; him,
Yssrning toshold him again to their heart;
And there he lies with his blu eyes dim,
And the smiling childlike lips apart.
Tenderly buTy6the fair young dead,
Pauging 10 drop on his gr ave tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at his head,
"Somebody's darling slumbers here"

BACKWOODs ELOQUnNCE.-A man on his trial
for murder having been found guilty by the ev-
ldence is supposed to have been successfully
defended by his counsel in the following speech:
"Thou shalt not kill" Now if you hang my
client you transgress the command as slick as
grease, and as plump as O g00se's egg in a loaf
ers face. Gentlemen5 murder is MURDER
whether committed by twelve jurymen OF an
humble individual like my client. Gentlemen,
do not deny the fact of my client having killed
a man No such thing, gentlemen. Ye may
bring the prisoner in "guilty," the hangman
may do his duty, but will that exonerate you
No such thing. In that case you will be MUIR
derers. Who among you is prepared for the
brand of Cain to be stamped upon his brow to-
day? Who, freemen? Who, in this land of
liberty and light2 Gentlemen, l will pledge my
word not one of you has a bowie knife. No,
gentlemen, your pockets are odOriferous with
the fumes Of cigar cases and tobacco. You can
smoke the tobacco of rectitude in the pipe of a
peaceful conscience; but, hang my unfortunate
client, and the scaly alligators Of remorse will
gallop through the internal principles of your
animal viscera, until the spinal vertebrse of your
anatomical construction is turned into a rail-
road for the grim and CORY gOblins of despair.
Gentlemen, beware Of committing murder
Beware, l say, Of meddling with the eterual pre-
rogativel Gentlemen, Iadjureyou by the manu-
mitted ghost Of temporary sanctity, to do no
murder adJure you, by the name of woman,
the main spring of the tickling timepiece Of
times theoretical transmigraton to do no mur-
der l adjure you by the love you have for the
esculent and continental gusto of your native
pumpkin, to do no murder / adjure you, by
the American eagle that whipped the universal
game cock Of creation, and is now roosting on
the magnetic telegraph of times illustrious
transmigration, to do no murder And lastly,
if you expect to wear store-made coats; if you
ever expect free dogs not to bark at you; if you
ever expect to wear boots made of the free hide
Of the Rocky Mountain buffalo and, to sum up
all, if you ever expect to be anything but sneak
ing, low-Aung, rascally, braided small ends of

WHAT IS AsTRAKAN.-Many women have lately
worn Astrakan without thinking what is. As
trakan as its name indicates is an Asiatic inyen-
ton They couple blackewe with blackram,
and before the dam gives birth to the young, she
is killed and the lamb taken from her womb
The wool of these lambs are jet black and Of ex-
treme ineness. 1t costs very dear. There are
Parisans whose Astrakan bonnets are worth 500
francs ($lOO) piece. This statement is worthy
of notice by ladies who have false Astrakan, the
wool of which is long and dyed.

Queen Victoria has peculiar notions of her
rights as Queen, and has endeaVored TO control
her frst-born son, after his marriage, as much
as she did before that event. 1t would seem
very prepOsterous for Victoria TO regulate, by
telegraph, the motions of the Prince of Wales, :
now a husband and father; to tell him, over the
wires, from Osborne or Windsor with whom he
shall dine, or whom he shall invite to his table,
on each day. Yet tits said that this has been
constantly done, until it became so intolerable
that the Prince and his wife to put and end to il
suddenly quilted London, in the midst Of theses
son, and betook themselves to their country seat
in the county of Norfolk, where they were re-
moved from the interference and dictation of
their exacting parent The Prince is said to
be a negative character, who will never set the
Thames on fire, but the Princess had the reputa-
tion of being shrewd, thoughtful, and possessed
of a strong mind, without belonging to those hu-
man hybrids, the strong-minded women. No
doubt her good sense has prevented rupture
between the Prince and his mother Besides the
young lady-beautiful, accomplished, and with
very winning manners-has become extremely
popular, and it has been whispered, (sotto voce,
of course,) that Queen Victoria is not little
jealous Of her handsome daughter-in-law.

THE FATHER.-He is the appointed head of the
family. Hemay yruleby love butit.is his right and
duty to rule; and to him, as the monarch of that
little state, must be the last appeal. Hence he
appears before his children invested with au-
thority-the divinely appointed representative of
law; and if he worthily sways the sceptre over
his little realm, he develops in his children some
Of the most desirable traits ofcharacter. If flove
is one Of the elements Of family happiness, order
is another; and it is his, in the last appeal, to
support order. If the sympathies and affections
of children should be developed, so should their
spirits Of obedience to rightful authority. 1t is
undoubtedly desirable to raise the mothers au-
thority to the highest degree; and when the faith
er is what he shonld be, and does what he should
do, she stands invested in the eyes Of her chill
dren, with power combining an indirect rever-
ence for the father, who appears only to sustain
the maternal rule, with direct obedience to her
own gentleness.

How TECUMsEH WAS KmLED.-The Western
Christian Advocate of last week contains an OBJ
ituary notice of Isaac Hamblin, Sen. who died
at his residence, near bloomfield, Ind, a few
months since aged about eighty-six years. Mr..
Hamblin was a man of deep piety and unques-
tionable veracity He was in the battle of the
Thames, and the writer gives the following as
his statement in regard to the manner in which
Tecumseh was killed:
He says he was standing but a few feet from
Col. Johnson when he fell, and in full view and
saw the whole of that part of the battle. He
was well acquainted with Tecumseh, having
seen him before the war; and having been pris-
Oner seventeen days and received many a ours
ing from him.
He thinks that Tecumseh thought johnson
was Harrison, as he often heard the chief swear
he would have Harrison's scalp, and seemed to
have a special hatred toward him. Johnsons
horse fell under him, himself being also deeply
wounded; in the fall he lost his sword, his large
pistols were empty, andhe was entangled with
his horse on the ground Tecumseh had fred
his rife at him, and when he saw him fall he
threw his gun down and bounded forward like a
tiger, sure of his prey. johnson had only side
pistol ready for use. He aimed at the chief over
the head of the horse, and shot near the center
of his fOrhead When the ball struck, it seemed
to him that the Indian jumped full fifteen feet
into the air AS soon as he struck the ground
little Frenchman ran his bayOnet into him and
pinned him fast to the ground.
