the multitude, they rushed at them amain, And a great storm of missiles came pouring like a rain. Amid a thunderous clamor, such as mortal seldom hears, They tried to cross the city, did the Yankee Volunteers. The murderous storm of missiles laid many a soldier low, Yet still these gallant hearts forbore to give the answering blow, Till all the miscreants shouted, “They're nearly dead with fears; We'll hurry up and finish these Yankee Volunteers.” But, lo! the guns are levelled, and loud the volleys roar, And, inch by inch, they fight their way through the streets of Baltimore; Before them shrunk the traitors, above them rise the cheers, As through the throng, a myriad strong, march on the Volunteers. Hurrah, then, for the old Bay State that stood so well at bay! Hurrah, for those who shed their blood, and gave their lives away! For grand old Massachusetts, boys, let's give three rousing cheers!-- Three times three and a ti-ger for the Yankee Volunteers! --N. Y. Tribune, May 4

Old Abe has his intermediate legs in perfect readiness to run. He has not passed a night in the White House for two weeks, but goes into the barracks to sleep with his armed hirelings all around him. He does not so much as take off his boots, that he may be ready to run at a second's warning.--Petersburg (Va.) Express, May 4.

ame to a piece of woods, but had not proceeded far before he heard the tramp of horses and the voices of men. He had barely time to conceal himself in a heap of underbrush, before they came up and halted near him. From their conversation he learned that the Seventh Regiment had moved toward Washington — a fact which he was most desirous of knowing. The horsemen directly moved away after hunting about the woods, when Mr. P. left his retreat, and safely reached his hotel again, where he overheard a conversation relative to the destruction of a bridge, over which the train containing the Seventh had to pass. The nuts had been taken off the bolts in the bridge, and had the train passed over it, all on board would have been killed. Mr. P. and his companions again got under way, and taking measures to prevent such a calamity, returned to Washington. Mr. Patton drove eighty miles, and walked thirty miles within thirty hours, in order to accomplish all this.--Cor. N. Y. Tribune, May 4.

rd, is one of the most curious and incomprehensible things that ever occurred in the history of the world. If the case were reversed — if it were the North which had seceded from the Union, and set up a Government for itself, the South, so far from objecting, would have hailed it as an immeasurable blessing and relief. They would have said to the North, If you want to go, go in peace, and Heaven speed you. When we propose to go, however, it is all different. The North wishes to keep us, unwilling and reluctant though we be, in a Union which we have repudiated, and to compel allegiance and tribute from a people known to be galled and almost maddened by the association. There is no justice in this, no liberty, no humanity, no Christianity, no sense. It is the silliest and most ridiculous enterprise ever undertaken by a Government professing to be founded on the consent of the governed. It is not only senseless, but wicked, cruel, inhuman, and barbarous.--N. O. Crescent, May 4.

is admirably adapted to firing up! The entire road was in the hands of men from that company. After the war, railroad corporations will know where to look for employes. One exploit by members of the Newburyport company has not found its way into the papers. For two days they had nothing to eat but poor pork and a little hard bread. In their ranks are two butchers from this city--Messrs. Merrill and Cilley. They took a tramp into the pastures, and were shortly seen driving an ox to a part of the railroad where the men were at work. A sturdy blow upon the head brought the animal down; the body was strung up to a tree and flayed, and in a little while the whole gang were feasting from the best cut of beef-steak. The manner in which the men of the Eighth Regiment have turned their hands to all kinds of employment, will render them famous throughout the world, and for all time. Some of them could even keep a hotel, which every man cannot do.--Newburyport (Mass.) Herald, May 4.

Albany, N. Y., May 3.--The Northern spirit is illustrated by the following incidents :--A few days since, a company from Ogdensburgh came without orders, the first knowledge of the existence of the company being their presence at Albany. They were inspected and mustered in. Next day, another company from the North Woods came in the same way. Next day, Frank Palmer's company, from Plattsburgh, telegraphed that they were coming, unless forbidden. They arrived, 95 men, immediately after. Yesterday the newspapers gave notice of the Depeyster company, Capt. Curtis, coming. It arrived today, giving the first notice of its existence to the Department. This evening, Capt. Bartlett's company, from Odgensburgh, came the same way. It will be inspected and mustered here. Three hundred and eighty companies are required for the 30,000. To-day there were 415 companies entered.--N. Y. Tribune, May 4.

Hog and Hominy.--A Lady of Richmond writes to the N. Y. Daily News of the sensation created in the Southern churches when the chapter Blow ye the trumpet of Zion, from the Book of Joel, was read. This chapter contains the Lord's promise to send to the people corn, and wine, and oil. Thus the lady gives that promise:--Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people. Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send ye corn, and swine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith. Swine to the congregation! This was addressed first to the ancient Jews, the lady says. No doubt the porky part of this must be considered as Scripture adapted to the latitude of Dixey.--Springfield Banner, May 4.

apolis, April 26.--Gen. Beauregard was discovered in the White House rear-yard last night at 26 minutes past 6, armed with three large howitzers and a portable sledstake. He went away after reconnoitring pretty numerously. Philadelphia, April 26.--I learn on excellent authority that Gen. Beauregard was in Charleston at 22 minutes past 6 yesterday, and had no intention of leaving. He was repairing Fort Sumter. The people of Bangor, Maine, and of Cape Cod, Mass., report that Gen. Beauregard has lately been seen prowling around those places. I learn that Gen. Beauregard is within five miles of Washington. The report in some of your contemporaries, that Gen. Beauregard is within five miles of Washington, is utterly without foundation. Sensation despatches in times like these cannot be too strongly deprecated. The public will invariably find my despatches reliable, and can always find out all about Gen. Beauregard by buying vanity Fair. Price 6 cents.--Vanity Fair, May 4.

at the rate of about sixteen hundred times a minute. The balls are let into the barrel through a valve at will, and every time the barrel comes round to a certain point, another valve, self-operated, lets out a ball, which is propelled solely by the velocity of the barrel in revolving. It will discharge a two-ounce ball three hundred times a minute. The range is accurate up and down, but the balls are liable to hit wide of the mark on one side or the other. The barrel revolves inside of a drum, made of boiler iron, between five and six feet in circumference, with an opening where the balls are discharged. Its range is not over one hundred yards at best, and the gun can be worked so as to discharge in any direction. The whole thing weighs 6,700 pounds, and is about the size of a steam fire-engine. It is the opinion of our informant, that the gun does not warrant the expectations of the inventor, and that it is not likely to be of much service.--N. Y. Tribune, (Weekly,) May 4.

despotic and fanatical hosts of the North. Nor must it be imagined that these losses and sacrifices will be confined to us. The North cannot live without Southern trade, and this is gone from her forever. She cannot put immense armies on a war footing and maintain them save at a fearful expense, which will tax all her resources to meet. Every blow she aims at us will recoil with terrible force upon itself. In striving to conquer us, the North is exhausting her wealth, her strength, and her productive energies, and will feel the pernicious consequences of her folly and iniquity for countless years. Her people, in the paroxysm of insanity under which they labor, fail to perceive the desperate act of suicide they are committing; but when it will have been irretrievably consummated, they will be haunted by vain regrets for the ruin and impoverishment they have brought upon themselves — and all this, too, without accomplishing the wicked object they have at heart.--N. O. Bee, May 4.
