CASTLE AND COTTAGE.

There stands castle by the sea,
With an ancient Feep and turrets three,
And in it dwells a lady rare,
Rich and lovely, with golden hair,
By the wild wave FLASHING YEARLY.
In dwelIs baron bold,
Gallant and young, with store of gold,
Store of all that man can crave
To cheer his pathway to the grave
By the wild waves FLASHING YEARLY.
III.
The lady bright is kind and good,
The paragon of womanhood;
And Ter welded lord is leal and sure,
Beloved alike of rich and poor,
By the wild waves FLASHING wearily.
".
There dwells fisher on the strand,
IN a little cot with rood of land,
With his bonnie wife and girls and boys
That climb to his knee with a pleasant noise,
By the wild waves FLASHING cheerily.
And the lady of the castle sighs
When she meets the fisherwife's gladdening
eyes,
And wishes that Heaven to bless her life
Had made her mother as well as wife,
By the wild waves FLASHING cheerily.
The lord of the castle, riding home
Der the hard sea sand whel e the breakers foam
Oft sees the fisher, his labor done,
Sit with hi wife in the CLINT Of the sun,
By the wild waves plashing cheerily.
VII.
Sit with his wife and his boys and girls,
Dandling the youngest with golden curls,
And turns his envious eyes aside,
And well-nigh weeps for ell his pride,
By the wild waves p!ashing wearily.
"Td give, quoth he, ''my rank and state,
My wealth that poor men call so great,
Could but have that fsherman's joys,
His happy home and his girls and boys,
By the wild waves FLASHING cheerily.

A RED HOT DEBATE.
Correspondence Between GEN. Brtsbin
and Pirate Semmes.
BRIsBIN's FIRST LETTER.

BRIsBIN's FIRST LETTER.
LEXINGTON, Ky, July IS.
Rapheaz Senanaes, Editor Bulletin, Pirate,
Traitor, de-:
SIR Some one has sent me copy of
your paper, in which you devote nearly
whole column to my late speech in Lex
ington, Kentucky. You think me Gin
cendiary, wicked, bad, and a party man
on the Fourth of July" What right
have you, a vile wretch, living by the
grace of God and the mercy of too hu-
name government, to take loyal man to
task for what he may see fit to say? Have
you so soon forgotten your crimes, or are
you insane enough to believe that they
are forgotten among men, ard that treas.
on, after all, is not to be punished For
the sake of your soul, beg you not to
forget the past, nor be unmindful of the
future, for the day is coming when you
aud Forrest will both be called to a Just
account for your misdeeds. Pirates and
butchers of innocent men cannot long live
in America unhung. Be constantly pre-
pared, tor you know not the day nor the
hour when the righteous Judge will come
to do justice. Being christian man,
when your trouble is great, and deep trib-
ulation is upon you, send for me, and l.
will come and do all can to prepare you
for your end; though tell you frankly,
| believe no earthly iutercession can save
you from the hottest he'll in damnation.
You fear "such men" as am will "rise
to power on the shoulders of the blacks.
When you recollect your awful guilt,
and that by the laws of nations you are an
outlaw, we'll may your coward conscience
fear such an event. You say such men
as instigate the negroes to do la wless
acts. You, pirate and traitor, are a
pretty fellow to talk about instigators of
lawless acts. The devil rebuking sin
would be mild comparison. I have al
ways advised the negroes to be law-abid-
ing, quiet, sober, industrious and peaceful,
and shall continue to do so. They have
no occasion to take the law into their own
hand, and when they do, I shall condemn
them as | do you. We, who are their
friends, by the help of God and a radical
Congress, will, in good time, in legal
way, properly punish you and all their
enemies and the enemies of the republic,
and in the meantime the negroes will be
quiet, orderly and industrious citizens
Yours truly,
