whine came from Washington, August o.,
that We have no defenses on our coasts.
Brother Blaine says, like a true American, We
may rest assured no nation desires 10 attack us.
Say, freemen, have ye heard the cry
Our native lands In danger,
There stands no wall deep, strong and high,
To ward the warning stranger.
But, LOOK ye, freemen, brothers all,
While souls like ours neer fail her,
The brayest foe could ne'er appall
Even did they dare assail herr
No ramparts shall surround her
Save hearts like yours ana mlne-
No battlements shall bound her
Save Neptune's rolling brine.
She needs no walls her shores along
doubtful strength to lend her,
Bold hearts, brave arms-these columns strong
or freemen, shall defend herl
The mighty seas that guard each shore
Three thousand miles asunder,
These symbolic, as loud they roar,
Her freemen's voice Of thunderl
No ramparts shall surround hor
Save hearts like yours aud mine
No battlements shall bound her
Save Neptune's rolling brine

John Fltzhugh, the colored man who was
taken from Rappahannock County (va) jail
on Friday night last by body OF men and
hanged for attempted outrage upon lady
some days before, was stalwhrt mulatto,
somewhat simple.minded, but OF violent
temper, and had been for some time separated
from his wife on that account. HIS summary
execution was doubtless rendered Inevitable
by the attempt OF another colored man, an ex-
convict, some time ago TO assault young lady,
and his subsequent escape from an clubhouse
In which he had been locked up for temporary
cafe keeping.
