Two lawyers lived In Western town,
Lawyers they were of some reRown-
To Congress each did wish to 60,
But how to do il they did not know.
At writing speeches one did jump,

The other to Washin gton did 60;
But why he went, no one did know.
At last the day for stumping came;
They were to stump in towns the same,
At the same time. all through the State
To stump, to drink, discuss, debate.
Number one the contest did commence;
he talked right smart, and talked with sense;
But his clothes so awkwardly did fit,
Some thought him clown, and some a wit.
Number two began. The people they
At all he said would yell HoOray !"
He was dressed % well, the effect was such,
They believed all he said and twice as much.

LATER FROM HAvANA-The steamship Gulf CITY,
which arrived here yesterday, from Havana, has
brought late Havana files, from which we make
some extracts.
We translate from the Diario de Ia Marina
the following account Of an engagement between
the Spanish and Chilian-Peruvian squsdrons,
which account is copied by them from Valparaiso
papers,
Her Majesty's frigates Blanca and Villa de Ma
drid have returned from their Southern expedition,
having, the 7th instant, had an engagement with
the Chilian- Peruvian squadron, which was united
and composed, go far as has been ascertainod, OF
the frigates Apurimac, Covadonga, America, MalPu
and Lersundi. with some reserve steamers carry
ing each sinsle gun. InasmuGh as our frigatos @
had to contend in unequal combat against these
combined forces, besides being exposed to the
fire of land batteries, mounted by the enemy with
the guns taken from the Amazonas, they OF course
received much injury. Our ships were struck
several times, but the damage was speedily reme-
died. One man was wounded in the Blanca and
seven in the Villa dc Madrid. The Blanca fired
389 shots, the Villa de Madrid $50. The news OF
the loss Of the Peruvian frigate Amazonas and OF
the steamer Tumbes has been confirmed.

In Germany and other countries inhabited by
nations Of the Teutonic family, Easter eggs form
noted feature Of the second day of this season.
The ingenuity Of schoolboys and their indulgent
msmmas is taxed to the utmost to devise varie-
ty Of pretty tints for their eggs. Every child (up
to the age of IS or H. when he is confirmed, and
ceases to be child), goes to his godfather and
godmother, where q substantial present of cake
and dyed eggs is in readiness for him. The chill
dren all have now clothes on Easter Sunday, and
whom they are seen walking through tho streets
with thoir snowy napkins Full Of sponsorial good
things, their faces fairly shine with happiness.
This is u time me-honored custom, in high repute
among the children, and long looked forward to
with the most glowing anticipations.
Easter Sunday is a holy day, whls Easter Mon
day lie holiday, usually devoted to pic-nics, aud
various rural sports. Easter being the beginning
OF the ecclesiastical year, Monday is generally the
day for transacting the secular business of eccle
siastical bodies: churches elect their vestries,
wsrdens, etc.
The derivation of the term Easter is involved in
obscuri:y; various roots having been sugge" FOR
the word. The one now most generally ac".p:etl,
We believe, is The Anglo Saxon J.t, Storm, The
time of Easter being subjected to the continual
recurrence OF tompcstuors weather. We cannot
say that we accept this as tho true etymology.
Eostre, an imaginary goddess of light and spring,
worshipped by the Anglo Saxons, is by some con-
sidered the true origin of the term. Some Of the
Germans derive it from AufsrStehung tResurrec-
tion). The true meaning is mystery yet; che
word will probably be found cognate with Esther,
star, Astarte, Astraea, and others, of Persian
origin--denoting beauty.

MILITARY ARRESTS. the Edge6eld Aduer-
kser, of WednesdaY, we take the following:


hser, of Wednesday, wo take the following:
On Friday morning last detachment OF cavalry
arrived in our village from Augusta, bringing
with them Mr.. Wilson L. Coleman OF this District,
who had been arrested some ten days previous,
and Mr; Powell, from near Hamburg, also under de r
Fair Ground, near the village, and since then
they have arrested Gen. NJ ". Gary, s: r. arifMSl, lin
Julius Day and son. James Day, Capt. James
-ditcheu and Mr.. David Strother.
All Of the above mentioned gentlemen, we un-
derstsnd, with the exception of the four latter,
left here for Columbia, under guard, on Sunday
night last. Why they were arrested is beyond our
conjecture, for they are all we'll known citizens,
and have ever been esteemed honorable gentle;
men-men incapable Of intentionally doing aught
that would blemish the character OF in the least
effect the true dignity Of the good citizen and per-
feet gentlemen. Feeling satisfied that these gen
tlemen will be able speedily to exoulpate them
selves from the charges, whatever they are, under
which they were arrested, we hope very soon to
welcome them all home again.
A son of Mr.. Y. A Herlong was also arrested
one day last week and sent TO Columbia.
