back again and be cheek by jowl, as I was before, with South Carolina, if I can help it. [Cheers. You're right. ] Mark me now; let no man misunderstand me; and I repeat, lest I may be misunderstood (for there are none so difficult to understand as those that don't want to)--mark me again, I say, I do not mean to give up a single inch of the soil of South Carolina. If I had been living at that time, and had the position, the will, and the ability, I would have dealt with South Carolina as Jackson did, and kept her in the Union at all hazards; but now she has gone out, I will take care that when she comes in again she will come in better behaved; that she shall no longer be the firebrand of the Union, ay, that she shall enjoy what her people never yet enjoyed, the blessings of a republican form of government. [Applause.] And, therefore, in that view I am not for the reconstruction of the Union as it was. I have spent treasure and blood enough upon it, in conjunction with my fellow-c

e had also been accustomed for many years to give that degree to the President who should visit Massachusetts during his term of office, and it was given to every one without question until it became a matter of discussion in the case of President Andrew Jackson; and while the degree was conferred upon him in due form, one of the students in the senior class addressed the President in behalf of the class in Latin, of which of course he understood not a word. The opposition made much of this and among the jokes, Major Jack Downing, the humorous letter writer who accompanied Jackson, describing the scene, asserts that at Downingville where the President was received and made a speech, some one called out: You must give us some Latin, Doctor, whereupon the President off with his hat again and said: Fellow-citizens, e pluribus unum, sina qua non. The college still continues its habit of conferring this degree upon the President. The whole performance is a cheap, convenient mode of ad

he other Abou-Ben-Adhem. --The following ingenious and witty parody of a poem universally known, is from a feminine pen. The tart and somewhat malicious allusions to Rye refer, we suppose, to President Buchanan's letter to some Western friends, acknowledging, with thanks, the receipt of some excellent rye whiskey: James B-Uchanan, may his tribe decrease, Awoke one night from a strange dream of peace, And saw, within the curtains of his bed, Making his t'other eye to squint with dread-- Old Jackson, writing in a book of gold. Exceeding Rye had made Buchanan bold, And to the stern Ex-President he said: “Wha — what writ'st thou?” The spirit shook his head, The while he answered, with the voice of old: “The names of those who ne'er their country sold!” And is mine one? asked J. B. “Vary!” cried The General, with a frown. Buchanan sighed, And groaned, and turned himself upon his bed, And took another “nip” of “rye,” then said: “Well, ere thou lay thy record on the sh

A gentleman from Washington reports that the following is the language of Mr. Lincoln to the Baltimore Committee:-- Gentlemen: You have come here to ask for peace on any terms. Such a desire, on such terms, is not like the course of Washington or Jackson. They — the rebels — attacked Fort Sumter, and you attack the troops sent to the Federal Government for the protection of the same, and for the defence of the lives and the property of the inhabitants of this city. My intention was never to attack Maryland, but to have those troops, as I said before, for the protection of Washington. Now, gentlemen, go home and tell your people, that if they will not attack us, we will not attack them; but if they do attack us, we will return it, and that severely. Those troops must come to Washington, and that through Maryland. They can neither go under it nor can they fly over it, and they shall come through it.--Philadelphia Press April 2

rt Pickens, then commanded by Lieutenant Slemmer. That officer returned them to the rebel troops, by whom they were given up to their owners, by whom they were mercilessly punished for the attempt to gain their liberty. At the time of their surrender, Fort Pickens was greatly in need of men to defend it, and down to this moment there has been no day when these negroes would not have been of great use in the various labors about the fort. Just such laborers have since been carried thither at a great expense to the Government. Their fidelity was guarantied by every circumstance, and was beyond question. When General Jackson defended New Orleans, he pressed every thing that had any fighting quality about it,--Barataria pirates, free negroes, whatever came to hand, into the service. One of the Secessionists is reported to have said, that if Lieutenant Slemmer had not returned these men, a nigger would not have been left in all that part of Florida. --N. Y. Evening Post, May 6.

Philadelphia, May 8.--A gentleman who has just made his escape from Memphis, Tenn., gives the following account of a solemn ceremony which took place in that city a day or two before he quitted it. He says that he was an eye-witness to the whole of the proceedings, and as he is a man of the greatest respectability, his statement may be relied on. In the one solitary square which Memphis possesses, stands a statue of Andrew Jackson. By the side of this statue a large pit was dug, and on the day in question our informant, who was standing near the place, saw a body of about five hundred men slowly approaching, headed by a band of music performing the Dead march. After the band came eight men bearing the dead body which was to be consigned to the pit; this corpse was no more nor less than a large standard of the Stars and Stripes, which was solemnly lowered into its final resting-place, the company assisting in respectful silence. The earth was then thrown upon it--ashes to ashes,

lorious Plymouth Rocks, Our reverence for a Higher Law, our godly pulpit rant, With all the talent which in Yankee land are now extant, A generalissimo, like me, would find it no great thing To gallop through the South, and whip the Chivalry, by Jing!” He said, the hero whose chief joy was hearing bullets whiz, And drew a red bandana forth, and wiped his warlike phiz; Around the room a stifled buzz of admiration went, When on his trembling knees arose the doughty President. “Now, by old Andrew Jackson's shade, and by the oaths he swore, And by his hickory stick, and by the thunder of his snore, And by the proud contempt he showed for Carolina gents, And English grammar,” quoth Old Abe, “them's jist my sentiments. Great Seward shall gull the Southrons, like a wily diplomat, With promises and flummery, with ‘tother, this and that; And I will launch a squadron forth, in secret, on the seas, And reinforce Fort Sumter with old horse, and bread and cheese.

The Montgomery (Ala.) Weekly Post contains the following:-- too good to be: lost.--A countryman was in the town of Lumpkin, Ga., last week, and some one asked him how he liked the war news. He replied, Very well. Are you to go? he was asked. Yes, he replied. Are you not afraid? No. If I should see a Yankee with his gun levelled and looking right at me, I would draw out my pocketbook, and ask him what he would take for his gun, and right there the fight would end. Yes, the Yankee would probably sell him his gun, if the Lumpkiner had enough money to buy it; but as the load would still belong to the Yankee, he would probably deliver that before he did the gun.--Jackson (Ia.)

e; Shine in my face like a bright golden star, And muster the surge of the battle's tide. Mantle my heart with the garb of strength! Justice, and Honor, and Truth, awake! Nerve on to conquest, until at length The dawn of our noble peace shall break. Sons of the South! the grass is green, The shadows are full, and the shade is strong; The graves of our manly fathers are seen, And their courage and honor can fill our song. The dead of the South drops its tears on the grave Where Washington, Jackson, and Clay repose; As fresh as the dew-drop, the honest and brave Will carry their virtues, or scatter their foes; The land of their love — of our hearts — is our pride, And we will stand by it and cherish its sod, Though we pour to protect it our hearts' crimson tide, And dying, will beg its protection from God. Mantle my heart with thy stern garb, War! Thrill through my veins with thy clarion tone! Like a “pillar of cloud,” and a bright blazing star, Is the flag of our bold and our new na
