THE PIPES OFLUCKNOW.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.


BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
This historical incident, upon which the:
are written occurred during II
Sepoy rebellion in the East Indies. The ga
ison at Lucknow was surrounded by owe
whelming numbers Of Sepoys and was n
duced TO the point of starvation and almo
10 despair, when Scotch lasie heard thepip'
of Highland regiment coming TO their r.
lief:l
Pipes of the misty moorland,
Voice of the glen and hill,
The drone of highland torrent,
The song of lowland rill;
Not the braes Of broom and heather,
Nor the mountains dark with rain,
Nor maiden's bower nor border tower,
Have heard your sweetest strain
Dear to the lowland reaper,
And plaided mountaineer,
To the cottage and castle
The Scottish pipes are dear,
Sweet sound the ancient pibroch.
Der mountain, loch and glade;
But sweetest Of all music
The pipes of Lucknow played.
Day by day the Indian tiger
Louder yelled and nearer crept;
Round and round the jungle serpent
Nearer and nearer circles swept,
Pray for rescue wives ,and mothers,
Pray to-day, "the soldier said,
For tomorrow deaths between us,
And the wrong and shame we dread"
Oh, they listened, looked and waited,
Till their hope became despair, =
And the sobs of low bewailing
Filled the pauses Of their prayer,
Then up spake the Scottish maiden,
With her ear upon the ground:
Dinna ye hear it, dinna ye hear it,
The pipes Of Havelock sou"d."
flushed the wounded man his groaning;
flushed the wife her little ones;
Alone they heard the drum roll,
And the roar Of the Sepoy's guns,
Blu, to sounds ofhome and childhood
The Highland ear was true;
Dinna ye hear,-'tis the slogan;
Will ye no believe it noo."
Like the march OF soundless music,
Through the vision of the seer,
More of feeling than of hearing,
0fthe heart than Of The ear.
She knows the droning pibroch,
She knew the Campbell's call:
Hark, hear ye moo McGregor's-
The grandest O. them all.
Oh, they listened, dumb and breathless,
And they caught the sound at last;
Faint, and beyond the Goomtee,
Rose and fell the piper's blast;
Then burst the wild thanksgiving,
Mingled woman's voice and mans:
"God be praised-the march of Havelocl
IT'S the piping of the clans"
Louder, nearer, fierce as vengeance,
Sharp and shrill as swords at strife.
Came the wild McGregor's clan CALI
Singing all the air to life.
But when the far off dust cloud
To plaided legions grew,
Full tenderly, bli,hsomely
The pipes ofrescue blew.
Round the silver domes Of Lucknow,
Round Red Dowlah's golden shrine
Breathed the air 10 Briton's dearest,
The ear Of Auld Lang Syne.
Ger the cruel roll Of war drums,
Rose that sweet and homelike strain,
And the tartan Glove the urban,
As the Goomtee cleayes The plain.
Dear to the lowland reaper
And the plaided mountaineer,
To the cottage and the castle
The pipers song is dear.
Sweet sounds the Gallo pibroch,
Der mountain, glen and glade.
But sweetest of all music,
Tbp nines of Lucknow pIayed.

THE MANIA FOR COTTON

MUscoaEE Co., GA, Jan. %, 1869.
Ar. Editor Anotheryear has dawn
ed upon farmers, bringing in its train
varied duties; trials of temper and of
patience have to be met and overcome.
It is indeed difficult matter for our
old farmers and planters to become ac-
customed to the new order of things !;
to throw aside those old habits in which
they have grown gray is like extracting
the very marrow from their bones. l
freely sympathize with them in their
distress; and by way of relief to their
CALLED feelings, would suggest that they
turn over their farming interest to their
sons. Youth can adapt itself to cir
cumstances better than old age.
Here and hereabouts, farmers have
buckied on their armour for the coming
fray between themselves and mother
earth, and earth's numerous progeny.
Freedmen-those of them that are pleas
antly located, and have kind and gen.

(overseers have, by common consent,
been tabooed on plantations )-have COM

On every side ofme the cry is cotton.

THE GREAT vITALIZEB.

This title may be fairly given to . restorative
which has taken precedence Of all other tonic and
Alternative preparations for q period Of nearly
twenty years. During that long interval Hos
letters Stomach Bitters may be truly said to have
enjoyed unrivalled popularity. Many prepare
fions have been got up TO compete with it, but
they have all fallen into its wake sunk into OBJ
livion for lack Of patronage. From the first, this
now world-renowned Vegetable Tonic has been
both incidentally and financially succe ssful.
Every year has added TO the number of It's friends
and the demand for it, based solely upon the ex-
perimental proofs of its excellence as preventive
and curative, seems TO have no assgnabie hnit'

cines to whieE i. belongs, the admitted, undis-
puted sovereign tonic of the age. The statistics
OF the United States Revenue department viii
verify the statement that it stands alone and uI-
approached in the magnitude of its sales as com
pared with those of any other pr oprietory remedy
advertised on this side of the Atlantic.
The explain alton Of this fact may be comprised
in a few words. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters i,

average Of more than 100000 per an

due to repayments from the United

nary burdens imposed upon the people by
the late Hoods, we question whether it is
not best to resort 10 new bonds, ut least
for portion of the large amount which

We heartily commend the Governor
views on common schools, and especially
the suggestion for more stringent requisi-
tions for the attendance of scholars.
That an eminent Adjutant General and
staunch advocate for the militia should
eonten. himself with less than dozen
lines on that subject is really surprise
to us, and we have no doubt it was to the
General Assembly also. Such moderation
commends the sole suggestion of annual
regimental parades.
We hardly know what to say as to the
suggestions on the rate of interest. 1t is
lamentable fact that the law is a dead
letter, but IT all agreements as to interest
cetween borrower and lender are to be
legai.zed, we are afraid that the needy
will be ,smentably fleeced and business
enterprises depressed. The remarks Of
the Governor on this subject, in connec.
with those on better development of the
resources of the State, present matters
worthy of careful study. =
The exhsrtation to NEEDLE with the

the Capitol at Montpelier, to the monu-
ment at Burlington, for which it was
originally designed; and to construct a
substantial and ornamental enclosure
around said monument, which its proper
protection requires.
The committee, conscious of no local
influence or bias in this matter, have
spoken plainly and directly, and the more
so, from a conviction, that the people will
welcome aud ratify the acceptance of a
proposition, thus, at length, to complete a

ue,ublicnnism In spain.

The Republicans of Spain are strug-
Cling for recognition of the principle
of government by the people, but with
very meagrc prospect of present success.
They have a few leaders, like CASTELAR,,
of brilliant ability and earnest purpose,
and the most of them belong to the best
martial classes of the warlike Spanish
people. With fair chance for organizer
ton at home, and the non-interference of
any foreign power, the Republicans
of Spain might win a triumph over
the monarchists, and renew in the
nineteenth century, the spirit that once
predominated in the Iberian peninsula.
But the difficulty in the way of the ex-
pertinent of a Spanish republic is of a
two-fold mature. The masses of the peo-
pie are ignorant, and accustomed to be
governed, rather than be their own law
makers and law administrators their
idea of Republican liberty is too much
that of license or lawlessness, and it will
be very difficult for any leaders, however
skilled and honest, to make these follow
ers comprehend that obedience to law is
even more necessary in government OF
the people than in a monarchy. The vio-
lent outbreaks and armed movements OF
isolated and divided bodies of the Span
ish Republicans show plainly that, though
they have an idea of what they wish to
accomplish, they do not know how to do
it. Their attempts to force the provis-
ional government to adopt their Republi-
eau theories by making insurrectlonary
movements at various points, and without
concert of action with each other, result.
ing only in defeat, show that the Repub-
lican movement is a mere agitation, hav-
ing no organized force to sustain it. In
subordination among revolutionists is as
fatal to their designs as it is to the eff
cheney of a regular army The other
great obstacle in the way of Republican
success at the present time is the fact
that all the organized force now in the
country, Is under the control of Prim and
Serrano, both of whom are soldiers, who
belive that the only way to govern the
people is by the use of the bayonet and
cannon; and these, as the events of the
past few days show, they are determined
to use unsparingly. Reason and persua-
sion have no place among the agencies
which these men employ. They will be
ready to discuss the situation with the
Republicans after they have crushed their
movement, and not before. They have
the power and the purpose to crush it
hence the prospect for Republican gov
ernment in Spain must be considered du-
bious in the extreme.

a FOREIGN LoAN.-It j. said that
Gen. Grant, and Mr.. Boutwell, both deny
that there has been any correspondence
between them and Rothschild or their
agent, about an European loan. The
story, even if it is false, has called out a
very general expression in favor of public
loan for a long time at a low rate of in
terest. We think Enropcln loan would
be preferable to loan in this coun-
try. We doubt whether four per
cent. loan would be taken in this country.
Our capitalists are familiar with higher
rate. At any rate a low rate abroad is
better than high rate at home.

particle OF verdure. On attempting to
remove the injured man, LamoEtaine, he
said, "Lay me down; you hurt me-" In
fifteen minutes he expired. Search was
made for the remains Of the two other
men, Lamontaine, brother Of the deceased,
and McDuff, brother-in-law but only the
scalp and portion of the skull attached,
of Lamontaine, with few fractured
bones, and portions Of clothing could be dis

tiers. The clothing found was torn
into shreds, but not apparently burnt.

sion 513 pounds of nitro-glycerine had
been delivered from the west end into the
magazine, and at that time it was esti-
mated there was about two or three days

the shock, and found wide open 1t con-

for, as he observed, 1--WE are late,

tunately or unfortunately, the man
feeling tired, refused. 1t is known that
McDuff felt not the slightest uneasiness
in handling nitro-glycerine, and the La
montaines were influenced by his views.
| Indeed, McDuff's efforts to convince his
fellow miners of the perfect safety of
nitro-glycerine, frequently elected eau
tionary remarks from them. 1t may be
possible, that being LATE hurrying, and
the nitro-glycerine being thoroughly fro
zen and a nonconductor, a fact not sufii-
GENTLY appreciated by McDuf, he may
have neglected the precaution necessary,
in thawing out, and paid the penalty of
his life in consequence. The above acct
dent with nitro-glycerine is the first that
has occurred at the Hoosac tunnel, where
upwards of ten thousand pounds has been
used in charges varying from four ounces
to pound and half each. Over fifteen
thousand charges have been fred, with

4 CALIFORNIA PRACTICAL JOKE
A California paper relates the following.
1t is a curious specimen of the sort of
jokes relished in that region
About two weeks since gentleman
of jacksonville, who is noted as prac-
teal joker, went to the Gilroy Hot
Springs, situated about fifteen miles from
Gilroy. After remaining a few days he
got aboard tho stage to return to Gilroy,
having an outside seat. The stage had
not proceeded more than five miles before
tones Of distress Were heard proceeding
from within. The driver hauled up,
when Mrs. --, who WAS passenger,
and who made herself rather obnoxious
to the visitors at the springs by certain
airy ways, informed the driver that she
must have an outside seat, as she was get
ting sick. jacksonville friend gave
up his seat to the lady. As he was get.
ting inside the lady informed him that
she had two bottles of spring water on
the seat she had just left, which she was
taking to her husband in San Francisco,
and begged s. to take good care OF
them. All right said $, and
away went the stage again.
Our friend true to his proclivities pro-
cured bottle of whiskey, and. taking the
corks from the bottles containing the
spring water, poured half of the water
from each bottle, and filed them up again
with whiskey, while the passengers were
convulsed with laughter. In due time
the following letter was received by the
proprietors OF the springs from the lady
husband:
