Kim, of Philadelphia, accompanying q
specimen of the songs in YOgs among
the negroes Of Port Royal Miss MKim
accompanied her father thither on a recent
visit, and writes as follows:


at is difficult to express the entire
character of these negro ballads by mere
musical notes and signs. The odd turns
made in the throat, and the curious
rythmic effect produced by single voices
Ginning in at different irregular intervals
almost us impossible to place on score as
the singing of birds or the tones Of an
KOlian harp. Tho airs, however, can be
reached. They are too decided not to be
easily understood, and their striking
originality would catch the ear of any
musician. Besides this, they are valua-
bic as an expression of the character and
life of the race which is playing such a
conspicuous part in our history. The
wild, sad strains tell as the sufferers
themselves never could, of crushed hopes
keen sorrow, and q dull daily misery
which covered them as hopeless as the
fog from the rice sWamps. On the other
hand, the words breathe trusting faith
in rest for the future-in 'Canan's fair
and happy land.' to which their eyes seem
constantly turned.


"a complaint might be made against
these songs on the score of monotony 1t

NORTHERN AID AND CoMFoRr TO RSDsLLloS.-
The persons in the North who are now giving
aid and comfort to the rebels are those fanati
cal members of Congress who, like Senator
Sumner, introduce acts in regard to slaves and
slavery. and who, like Lovejoy, declaim in fa'
vor of universal emancipation Thus far the
war has been conducted, if we except the Bull
run advance, upon conservative principles,
and tho result Is series Of most brilliant VIC
tories. Does any one suppose that we should
have had such good news from the Department
of Missouri il the abolitionists had remained in
power there! Does any one suppose that Ken.
lucky and Tennessee would have remained 50
consistently loyal, in spite of rebel despotism,
if the schemes of the aboitionists had been car
ried into efects Everywhere we find that abo-
lition plans have ended in rebel victories and
conservative plans have achieved rebel defeats.
1t is thus demonstrated that the fanatical aboli-
tionsts are the abettors of treason, and they
should be treated as such. AS for the slavery
question, the Southern States will settle that
for themselves when they are brought back into
the Union Those fanatics who attempt to med
die with it by overriding the constitution are
the worst enemies of the country. Nothing
could sooner change the present despair Of the
rebels into wild desperation than the passage
of any such measures as those proposed by the
abOlitionists.


POPULAR ENrHUsIASM-The news Of the sue
cesses of the Burnside expedition and the pro-
bable capture of Fort Donelson caused great
rejoicing throughout the country yesterday.
The city was gay with flags, and the sound Of
cannon here and there doomed upon the ear.
The whole population exchanged congratular
tions upon the exploits of the gallant defenders
of the Union and gener.' confidence was felt
that the backbone of the rebellion was broken.
and that the integrity of the republic would be
restored within a very short time. The spirits
of our people were buoyant and full Of hope
for the future. This is good sign, snd We
doubt not that it will not be long before We
have fresh cause for rejoicing in the universal
collapse and return to the Union of the confo-
deracy under JEFF Davis. The sooner the bet
ter for all parties, and the South especially.


DESPERATE GAMH OF THE AB0LTI0NIsTs m
CoNGREss.-Finding that they cannot move tho
President from his stern purpose to stand BY
the constitution he is sworn to defend, and that
the military plans of General Mcclellan are
likely soon to be crowned with complete sue
cess, the abolitionists in Congress are becoming
terribly exasperated, and are resorting to q
most desperate game. 1t is nothing less than
an infamous attempt to break up the domestic
relations of the President, and to SOW the seeds
of future misery in his family This has been
developed by the evidence in the case of tho
arrest of Mr.. Wikoff and it shows that SO trucu-
lent are those fanatical demons, baffled in their
designs, that they will stop at nothing. They
are like so many she bears robbed of their
whelps, and they arc making Washington
hideous with their roars, as they prowl around
seeking whom they may devour.

The SAN FRANCISCO GossIPs, at last dates,


were greatly exercised over certain peculiar


circumstances attending upon the rather sud-


den departure of the we'll known actress Miss


joey Gougenheim, for Australia. A CORES


pondent Of the Times tells the stery thus: Her


last engagement was not very profitable, and


the consequence was she got in debt-that is,


her agent Mr.. Eddy, did, all the same-and


his creditors learning that he intended to give


them the slip, got out warrants for his arrest,


but being too old a bird to be caught in that


way, little plan was laid to frustrate their
kind intentions, which was as follows: Miss


Joey embarked on board Dutch ship bound
to Australia, to sail next morning. Mr.. Eddy,
with all the baggage and funds secreted him
self on board the clipper ship Carrier Dove,
alse bound cut next morning for COrk-the
Captain Of which was to put Eddy aboard the
Dutch ship outside the Bar Both ships sailed
with the ebb tide, but on getting outside the
ships stood on different tacks, and were sepa-
rated some miles. The Captain of the Carrier


Dove, old sailor like, thought more of a mile
gained to windward than all the actors and ac-
trssses he ever saw, and instead Of putting Mr.
Eddy on board the Dutch ship squared away
with cracking breeze, which proc seding at
Fret produced look of wonder and open
mouthed astonlshment on ths part Of Mr.
Eddy, who demanded a compliance with the
terms OF the agreement, to which he received


short answer, and il was not till he became
convinced that he was not in very fair way
to see Miss Joey, that he gave away to rage
indignation and despair. He stormed up and
down deck, swearing entreating and raving.
but it was useless to Cork and a market 7"


was the only alternative, and to Cork he has
gone sure. On the deck of the Dutch ship a
| similar sceDo was being enacted. When Miss
| joey saw the state Of affairs, and the truth
flushed upon her that her wardrobe her money
| and her manager were heading for Cork and
| she for Australia, size let herself loose and


went of into touch beyond anything she had
ever given the public on the stage. She rayed
| and stormed, and tore her beautiful hair,
screamed and cried and offered unheard of
| sums to be put on board the Carrier Dove, but
| the Captain smoked his short Dutch pipe very
complacently, and when the pilot left the deck
Miss joey had gone of in tragic faint in the
