THE MARCH OF THE spo1LER.

One BY one the leaves are shaken
From the tree;
Ohe by one our best are taken;
And our hopes fall, hope torsaken,
When, 0 God! wilt thou a~ AIKEN!
When, o Liberty!
Sinks the moon behind the forest,
Lost in cloud;
Darkly thou thy way explorest,
So, e'cn when our need is sorest
Freedom thou our trust ignOrcSt,
In thy bloody shroud.
One by one our best are taken;
Hasten we!
BY our swift curse overtakcn,
Dcspots' might shall yet be shaken;
Yet the Avenger shall awaken
Murdered Liberty.

The Miner.

The eastern sky is bluShing red,
The distant hill tops glowing,
The river DER its rocky bed
In idle frolics flowing;
'Tis time the pick-axc and the spade
Against the rocks are ringing,
And with ourselves; the mountain stream
A song of labor singing.
The mountain air is fresh and cold,
Uncloudcd skies bend FER us:
Banks, rich in hidden dust Of gold.
Lie temptingly before us.
We need no Midar' magic wand,
Nor wizard-rod divining;
The pick-aXe, spade, and brawny hand
Are sorcer ers in mining.
When labor closes with the day,
TO simple fare returning.
We while the evening hours away
Around our camp fires burning;
Stretched round the fading Pickering light,
We watch the stars above us;
Then bid the world and care good night,
And dream of those who love US.

ore, that the Democratic newspapers Of Ohio
deserve an earnest and liberal support" This
is good resolution, worthy Of adoption and
immediate action in New York and in every
other State, as we'll as in Ohio. 1t is worthy
of notice, not only by conventions, but by
Democratic Committees in every city, town
aud village in the Union. Our opponents
apare 20 pains or expense in disseminating
their political organs and opinions, and they
boast, with reason, too, that by these means
they succeed in carrying whole counties and
sven States. To successfully compete with
them requires only corresponding vigil lance
and energy on the Democratic side. The
Toledo( (Ohio) Racord says trulhfulIy: There
is probably no more effective engine iu revo.
luiiopizing or educating public sentiment
than a newspaper-a truth Of which our OPP
ponents are well aware, and Of which they
have made effective use. 1t is the failure on
the part of the Democracy to appreciate the
advantage Of a thorough circulation Of their
principles that las kept them in the minor

against General Butler plaintiff Honeywell
accuses Butler Of compelling him t, charter
the steamer Carlota 10 his brothers partner
at $50 per diem; and that the vessel was then
chartered to the government at 1850 per di.
EN-; that subsequently, she was run in private
voyage 10y Butler, after which he compelled
the plaintiff TO take $2,8 800 for the vesssl,
though she was worth $40, 900, and his broth
er and partner received $40,0 900 for her from
the government. The other plaintiff, Kearuy
Of New Orleans, alleges Butler compelled
him to give his brother $4,000 worth Of ma
val stores. which was paid in confederate
notes of 81 900 only, but which notes Butler
himself had previously prohibited from being
put in circulation. After the stores were de-
Iiversd Buffers brother consigned them to
Boston, where they were sold and tue pro
