POETICAL.

H FI.T7RIBTJS UN UM. BY CAPT. O. W. CUTTER. Though many and bright are the stars that appear, In thit fl;i b- our country unfurl'd ; Ami the stripes that are swelling in majesty there, Like a rainbow adorning the world ; Their lights are unsullied as those in the sky, By a deed that our Fathers have done ; And they're leagued in as true and a holy a tie, In their motto of "Many in One." From the hour when those patriot3 fearlessly Sung, That banner of starlight abroad ; Ever true to themselves, to that motto they clug, As they clung to the promise of God ; By the bayonet traced" at the midnight of war, On the field where our glory was won ; Oh ! perish the heart, or the hand that wouid mar. Our motto of "Many in One." Mid the smoke of the contest the cannon's deep roar How oft it had gather'd renown ! While those 5tars were reflected in livers of gore, When the cross and the lion went down ; And though few were their lights iu the gloom of that hour, Vet the hearts that were striking below Had God for their bulwark and truth for their pow'r, And they stopp'd not to number the foe. From where our green mountain tops blend with the sky, And the sriant St. Lawrence is roll'd, To the waves where the balmy Hesperideslie, Like the dream of some prophet of old ; They conquer'd and dying, bequeathed to our c i re, Not this boundless dominion alone, But that banner, whose loveliness hallows the air, And their motto of "Many in One." We are many in one, while there glitters a star In the blue of the heavens ahove ; And tyrsnts shall quail mid their dungeors afar, When they gaze on that motro of I ove. It shall gleam o'er the sea, mid the bolts of the ; storm, Over tempest, and battle, and wreck ; And flame where our guns with t.'ieir thunder grow warm, 'Neath the blood on the slippery deck. 1 he oppress'd of the earth to that standard shall fly. Wherever its folds shall be spread ; And the exile shall feel 'tis his own nitive sky, Where its stars shall flj.it over his head. And those stars shall increase till the fulness of time Its millions of cycles has run Till the world shall have welcomed its mission sublime, And the nations of eirth shall be one. Though the oM Allegheny may to vor t Heaven, And the Father of waters divide, Ths links of our destiny eunnot b? riven While the truth of these words shall abide. Then oh! let them glow on each helmet and brand, j Thoug'i our bloo 1, like our rivers, shall run ; j Divide as we m iv , in our own native l.tr.J, To the rest of the world we are one. Then, up with our rl ig lot it stream 0:1 the air j Though our fathers are col J in their graves ; They had hands that could strike, they ha 1 souls that could dare, And their sons were not horn to be slaves. Up, up with that bamr. r, where'er it may call, Oar millions shall rally around ; A nation of freemen that moment shall fall When its stars shall be trail d on Hie ground. A LITTLS WHILE. BV MRS. R. B. ErSO. Only a little while, darlingOnly a day or a year ; The golden hours are slipping past, The web to the end U ravelling fast, Th twilight is drawing near. Only a little time at bestBut a little time to love; The fairy hours with winged feet, row swift, and solemn, and strangely sweet, Ai they near the home ahove. I dreanicd of ange'd yesternight:, And this was the sou I heard : "Lite is too fleet cn its arrowy wing, Iove U too sacred and holv- a thin For ever an angry word." '1 is but a little while, darling, Maybe but a d.iy or year ; The loving and tender, the leal and true, Arc fading from sight and slipping from view, And the nightfall is getting near.

The Public and Private Character of

Judge Dougla3. The editor of the Chicago Post, James W. Siieahan, Esq. i the devot od friend and biogra pherof the late Jtuige Douglas, thus eulogizes his public and private character and social qualities : When nearly twenty years ngo John Q. Adams declared that if Douglas lived and continued ten year3 more in public life, he unquestionably wouid be the most popular orator the country ever knew, he but uiiticipated a history which has been writ ten by universal consent Shall we speak of his courage ? That too, is a part of his history which is so famdi.ir. There never was a crisis in which Douglas flinched. There never was an hour when he hesitated or douMt-d. There never w.s a moment when Douglas "did not know what to do," and never, never, did he fail to do what his mind directed should be done. Once assured of what ought tobe done, he never asked who opposed or who followed him, he met tiie issue boldly, and to his honor and his renown let it be said, he nctsr failed! if failure did come, it was not through him. We might mention incidents wherein his peculiar courage thone foi th most lustrously, but over hiicofliu is not the place to speak of the conflicts in w hich others sustained an ignominious defeat. Bat there is one point in his history and cha"ac- , tcr of which the occasion will permit us to speak without reserve, and that is his private history. Mr. Douglas was eminently social. He had rare social qualities. His conversational powers were truely extraordinary. He was generous in the extreme. He was free from selfishness. He was benevolent in the true sense of the term. He never J sought to make money for money's sake. With what he had he w cs bountiful to all. He was ambitious, but who is not ? lie was ambitious, but honorably so. When a boy, working in the cabi net workshop, in the little Vermont village, his ambition was to become the best workman in the State. When at school, he was ambitious to be at the head of his c ass, and to pass all rivals. When reading law, he was ambitious to be in the first rank of his profession- Whin a teacher, he was ambitious of leaving a memory of usefulness to the pupils unde- his charge. When he entered tne leal profession his ambition was to overtake those who had the start of him ; as a prosecutor he was ambitious to be known as a man lit for the oflice. As a legislator ho w.is ambitious of the credit of opposing viU that he foresaw, and of adopting a policy that would result iu good to Ida rotate As a judge he was ambitious of a name unstained with the suspicion of turpitude, and honorable from the ' distinction he give iu the olficc. As a representative he was ambitious of being identified with his couHtry's :lory. As a Senator he was ambitious of that excellence w hich w ould justify him in exclaim- j ing with f-.-rvor equal to that of the Sjracusan " 1 ama Senator in the Senate House." His ambition never led him to depart from fixed primiplcs. We know personally th it the Presidency had no extravagant charms in his eves. His official ambition was satisfied with a seat in th.J Senate a senate in which he was without peer. The Presidency he knew and hasol'ien assured 1,9 in lhe P'Vl"7 of confidential intercourse w ould uot a,,1 a line to his renown as astitesmen. If he allowed his name to lie used for that oflice, it was for the gratification of friends to whom he was j so devotedly attached and not from any personal lesirc. His was an ambition to be useful to Lis j country, to become part of its hisior,, to TivrHiete-! after in the records of her glory, her distinction and her renown. Bat to appreciate the excellence of Mr. Dougj fas, it was necessary to see him when the Senator, j the Statesmen, ihe public servant, were forgotton, j and he stood befor j you at his own fireside in the ctr.racter of husband, father, neighbor and friend. Than the true excellence of the man shone forth in all its purity ; then he was neither orator or statesmen, but the w hole-soled genial friend, tue incomparable- companion, the confiding host, the f. euerous man, the afectiouate parent. No one whobas ever been admitted to that inner circle of life, ever departed without confessing tliat Stephen A. Douglas, tin: Statesmen, Orator, and Senator, was but a poor rival compared with Stej hen A. Douglas, th-i friend, companion, father und bus band. And now, on this third day of June, we are call id upon to make the sad announcement that the man whose deeds In ve filled the pages of his country's history, is no more. In d-.'ath helm couriered hu enemies. In the general woi-, i.i thy universal lamentation, there is no word of unkm hiess. The bitter conflicts of the past, the horrid imprecations, the fierce invectives, the sc m laloiM libels which have attended his pro gross through life, are hearJ no more. 'Ihey arc forgotten, and we trust will never be recalled. In the grave let all enmities be buried, and over his tomb let there be nothing but evergreens, and flowers of the most fragrant odors. Let it be renumbered that at the tomb of Douglas there will be no in re sincere mourner, no oi.e more stric ken with pri(f, thin his. oil rival and competitor Abraham Lincoln! How to Pike a Gvs, A very good story istotd which has not yet found its w ay into the Charleston p ipers : The lir;ht boat which was captured has been anchored m the mouth of the crock which leads to Stony river. I wo Kut.3 have been placed on ! loanl. The one aiming down the creek is kept I kept loaded with shot, while th 2 one pointing toward the city is un-d for firing a morning and evening salute. Not long si-.i-e, when the sun-rise gun was fired, a twelve pound hall ripped through a negroe's shinty, and lodged in a hotel, greatly tothe consternation of a negro and several hoarders. The crew of the light bo it did not discover that the. boat had turned with the tide during the night. Dubuque, June 7. The three companies lately 'jiiarteied here, numbering W men, left this city last evening for Keokuk. Said Bill to Ben, "Pray lend me a V, or what is belter. Just make it ten, and I'll be eterrally your debtor. "Ik now you would," said Ban, "and ain't it funny? Jpst for that reason you can't have tho inonev." 9 Tobacco chewing men and finuCT-taking women should never bo allowed to kiss anybody but each othT.

Judge Douglas' Last Spaeeh. At such a time as this, when the public mind is centered wholy upon our fallen statesmen, wo cannot do belter than to give to the world onco more his last speech an effect by which ho placed himself boldly and unconciously on the side of the right, and won to himself the heart of the people. It was delivered on the firs day of May, 1G61, at National Hall, in ibe city of Chicago. Judge Douglas said : Mr. Chairman : I thank you for the kind term9 with which you have been pleased to welcome me; I thank the committee, and I thank the ci;iz?n& of Chicago for this grand and imposing reception. But I beg you to believe that I do not do you the injustice to consider '.his ovation a personal one, but rather that I rejoice in

the knowledge that it is an expression of your devotion to the Constitution and the laws of our country. I will not conceal my gratification at the unccntiovertible testimony which this vast audience presents, that whatever differences of opinion may have heretofore divided us, the conviction now exists in your mind that in danger my loyaity to my country may be relied upon. That danger is imminent, none can conceal from themselves, no matter how they may desire to avert the evil ; but if war mum be if the bayonet must crush social order and liberty, then, before God. I feel my conscience clear. I have s truffled as Ions' as there was hope, and even after hope had almost disappeared, for a peaceful solution of the trouble. I have not only tendered full satisfaction and ample justice, but have proffered conciliation even to the extent of magnanimity and generosity. The return which we receive is war on our government, the march of armies on our cap ital, the obstruction of our trade, the issue of letters of marque authorizing lawless piia es to prey upon ouro wn commerce, in short, a concentrated movement to blot the United States from the map of the world. The simple question is whether we are to maintain the government, or allow it to bo stricken out of existence bv those who no longer acknowledge its authoritv, and seek onl to destroy it. What excuse can the disunionists mve for breaking up the best government the sun ever shed its light upon ? They .ate dissatisfied with the result of the last Presidential election. Were they never beaten before? Are we to tolerate the l le i that the defeated party is to resort to i : o i .... i i :. ... t.- r.. my anuiu ; j. unuei si.iiui 11 i oe l lutldanieiital principle that the voice of the people must command obedience. They assume that in the election of a party candidate their rights are not fate. What evi(leiu 0 have we of it ? I defy any man to show a fact that will subsrancute it. What one art has been omitted which they can complain of? So far as the rights of the Sou tli are concerned the rights of slaveholders no net has been omitted of ' which thev can complain. There has ! ,1Vfr beputhe day Mnce the hour of ! Washington's inauguration down to this m,Mne''1' w,10n t,ie ",,ts of ,he S"1' hnve stood firmer under the laws of the land. There never was tho time when they had not quite as good cause for dis union as now. What specific grievance can thev assign from the davs of Washington to ih is moment? If they refer to ihe territorial question, it is an extraordinary fact that there is now no acton our statute books limiting slvery iu any manner. If to the enforcement of the laws, the only complaint in that too much has been done that we have bjen too eaor to enforce the fugitivo slave law. Then I ask what xcu-c has ihe South for the scheme which they have concocted to wind up the Union ? The slavery question b :t mero excuse. The election of Lincoln is hut a pretext. The present secession movement is iho result of an enor mous conspiracy which was matured a year ago. This conspirooy was framed by the leaders of the secession movement twelve months ago, and they have used every means to urgo it on. They have caused a man to be elected by a sectional vote, to demonstrate- that the Union was divided ; and when the history of the country, from ihe time of iho Locompton Constitution to the date of Lincoln's election, ia written, it will appear that a scheme was maturing meantime- which was for no end except to bieak up the Union. They desired to break it up, and thy used the slavery quePtion as a means. They desired to create a purely sectional vote, to demonstrate that tho two ecu lion-, could not Jivo together. The disunion card dictated that th South was to carry its own election, and thai the North was to elect Lincoln. Then a united South was to assail a divided North, and fc-m an easy victory. IIUS BCIiemo was Mal! 'V iho oveilhrov oi ndidatea" " Kentucky. T Virginia. Still the grand c f tho disunion ennessee and onspiracv ox ist.d, and the disuunn movement was the result of it. But I have no time to enter into details. Annies are raised, and war has been levied. There ara but two sides to the question, and every m ui mutt be on the side of the United States or Plains! it. 1 here can bo none but patriot or traitors. I hank God, IllinoH is not to be doubted on that question. They conspi red to prodtii'H a civil war among tho Republicans and Democrats, expecting to step in and accomplish an easy victory. Their scheme will involve ciil war and bloodshed In the United States, and ihe calamity i only to be averted by united action. I repeat that so long as theru was a possibility of settling ihe trouble pf-nce-tully, every saernfica was made and proposed, and now, when the question is to be transferred from tho cotton States to the cornfields of Illinois, I say the further off tho better. War is a sad thing but civil war must now bo ii cognized as existing in the United States. Wo can no j longer close our eyes to the solemn fact.

In this exigency the government must be maintained, and the more slupei.dous and overwhelming are oar preparations, the 6hoiter will b the struggle. But, my countrymen, we must remember that cer tain restrictions are to be observed. We must not forget that we are Christians, and that war must be waged in a Christian spiiit not against the rights of a people not against the rights of women and children. Say that you will sanction no war on rights, and say that never w'dl you lay dewn your arms until those which you claim as your own are recognized. We were burn under the Constitution of the Utiit-d States, and i:s provision are our birthi iglit. Then be prepared to enfirce the inalienable rights which it confers. We have peculiar reasons why we cannot recognize the right to secede and break up the Unton. Once recognize it and you not only destroy the Government, but annihilate order, and inaugurate anarchy such as disgraced the history of the wotst days of the French Revolution. My friends, you have a solemn Jiry to perfotm. Use all your power to inaintain i he Constitution and the Government which our fithers jave us. 1 he greater the unanimity the 1-ss the loss of life and property, and the sooner the establishment of peace. I am aware that we have some prejudice to encounter, but that does not surprise me. It is but a few short months fcince we passed through a stormy election, and it takes some lif.le lime to diive out the party contentions and substitute patriotism ;and yet he who would not sacrifice political differences does not deserve the support of his country. How then are we to present a united front ? Cease to discuss, cease to criminate and recriminate. Indulge in no taunts as to who caused the trouble, but unite manfully now, and when the flig waves over every inch of our

country, arue tho point of authorship. When we shall have a government fjr our children to live under, it will bo time enough to discuss its difficulties, but now, let him be marked an untrue patriot who distrusts our cause and .shows dissension. I have said more than I intended. It is a sad task, but sad as it is, bloody as it will be, I believe m ihe justice of our cause, and earnestly hope to see every patriot rally around the flag of his country in the hour of its peril. I renew to vou my grateful acknowledgements for tho imposing reception which you hav given me. I acknowledge it on behalf of the Government, and the flag of our country. You have demonstrated that you preler to lay aside party feeling, and unite to a man in the councils of the nation, in the field and everywhere that men can make themselves useful and patriotic. Illinois occupies a proud posiiion before the nation, and let hr sons unite in tho determined revolve never to permit this Government to be disf lverl . Washington, June 5. 1CG1. The Sliirai this afternoon pavs : We have information from two gentle : m(MI lf i.r-,.tpr. ,vim, 8Pnmail,; tv!,b j the cause of the Union we know to be entirely reliable, one of whom is just from Manassas Junction, and the other in the immediate vicinity of Leesburg The former assures us that on Monday last G--n. Beauregard arrived certainly at the Junction. If so, vc tnke it for granted that he has assumed command of the disunion troops in ihat quarter. Thi gentlemen further says that there is an aggregate force of 20,000 troops at Manassas .hineuor, Centerville, Fairfax Station and Fairfax Court House. This information, though differing widely from that received by the government here, comes to us under circumstances ihat cause us to place somo reliauce in it. Our informant from Leesburg assures us that on Sunday mc ruing last duiiii"- divine sei vice, an officer rode up to the Quaker meeting-house at Waierford, London county, seven miles from Leesdiur., and ordered tl e people there assembled to be at Harper's Ferry on the next Monday morning, (last) with all their wagona and teams, to move the materials of the troopj then 'here. On that day, we believe, 2,000 of those troops moved up ihe Potomac to a point opposite Willi amsport. The troops at Harper's Ferry w i know to be almost entirely deficient in army trai. spol iation, having arrived there in cotinartivcly small bodies, by railroad, and having but suflicent of other transportation to carry baggage of pmall parties over thetwclv miles of wagon road between the northern termini! of the Manas?n? railroad and Winchester, the western terminus of the Winchester and Harper's Ferry railroad. A Ciiiti5TiAN Hkcimext. We learn that arrangements are being mado in this citv to raise a regiment which shall he composed of members of the various city churches without distinction of sect or creed. The design of ibe projectors of the movement is to enroll a body of men who will enter tlio battlefield under a deep eonvictioa that they light from pinciple and for the sole purpose of maintaing right. In furtherance of this design a notice detailing the plan and objects of the organization will be und from tho desks of a number of the city churches next Sunday morning, al which time tho place chosen for ihe headquarters of tho command will be announced. The leaders in the movement are 1 lor are Webster, L. L. D.. of iho Free Academy, who is a graduate of West Point, and was formerly an officer in ihe United States Army, and Edward Beyard. M. I)., a well known physician of this city, who has had some military experience, he. having at one limo held a colonel's commission in the State milita. These gentlemen will probably be the colone l and lieutenant colonel of the regiment. A number of recruits have already enlisted, and for two wreks past have been under drill. X Ihrahl, Qth in if.

Servile Insurrections. Governor Andrew of Massachusetts, in a letter to Gen. Butler took occasion to censure the latter for tendering his aid to Gov. Hicks of Maryland, to suppress servile inreetiohs. He remarks: If I rightly understand the telegraph dispatch, I think that your action in tendering to Gov. Hicks the assistance of our Massachusetts troops to suppress a threatened servile insurrection anion:; the hos tile people of Maryland, was unnecesarv. I hope that the ful'er dispatches, which are on iheir way from you, may show reasons why I should modify my opinion concerning that particular instance; but in general I think that ihe maUe of servile insurrection among a community in arms against the Federal Unicn, is no Ioniser to be regarded by our troops in a political, but solely in a military point of view, and is to be contemplated as one of ihe inherent weaknesses of the enemy, from the disasterens operations of which wa are under no obligations of a military character to gmrd them, in order that they may be enabled to improve the security which our armies would afford, so as to prouecute with moie energy their traitorous attacks upon the Federal Government and Capitol. The mode, iu which ueh on breaks are to be considered should depend entirely upon the loyalty or disloyalty of the comunuv in which they occur, and in the vicinity of Anapolis, I can on this occasion perceive no reason of militaiy policy why a force cummond to the defense of the Federal Government, at this moment of all others, should be offered to be diverted from its immediate duty, to hold rebels, who stand with arms in their hands, obstructing its progress towards the civ of Washington." In reponse. Gen, Butler dispatched to Gov. Andrew iho following admirable reply. It contains sentiments not onlyjust in themselves but they will go far to disarm tha prejudices of the Soutnern against the Northern people, and to restore that feeling of amity which existed iu ihe early days of the Republic, and satisfy the former that there is no disposition on the part of ihe great body of the ooner-

vative citizen Northern States to trespass on any of their constitutional rights or interfere with their domestic institution. Gen. Butler says: The telegraph, with more than usunl accuracy, had rightly informed your Excellency that I had offered the services of the Massachusetts iroops under my command, to aid the authorises of Maryland iu suppressing a threatened slave insurrection. Fortunately f, r us all, the rumor of such au outbreak was without substanlinl foundation. Assuming, as your Excellency does in your dispatch, that I was carrying on military operations in an enemy's country when a war I'outrance was to be waged, my act might be a matter of discussion. And i'l that view, acting iu the light id the Baltimore murders and ihe apparently hostile position of Maryland, yoiir Excellency might, without manne reflection, have come to the conclusion of disap probation expressed in your dispatch. But the fads, espetitlly as now aided by their results, will entirely justify my net and reinstate me in Excellency's good opinion. True, I landed on the soil of Maryland j against the foi mal protest of its Governor, and of the corporate authorities of Annapolis but without any armed oposition on t hoi r paif, and expecting opposition only from insurgents assembled in liotous contempt or the laws of thi o Bel ore my letter and at the lime of landing, by personal interview, I had informed Gov. Hicks thai soldiers of the Union, under my command, were armed only against the insurgents and disturbers of ihe peace of Maryland and the United Stales. I received from Governor 1'icks assurances of the loyalty of the State to the union, assurances which (subsequent events have tully juitilied. The Mayor of Annapolis also in form me that the city authorities would in no wise oppose me, but that I was in groat danger from tho excited and riotous mob of Baltimore pouring down upon mo. and in numbers beyond tho cotrol of his police. 1 assured both tho Governor and Mayor tint 1 had no fear of a Baltimore or other mob, and that supported by the authorities of the S'ate and city. 1 should repress all hostil demon stations', the laws of Maryland and the Uuited Slates, and that I would protect both myself and the city of Annapolis from any disorderly person whatever. On the niorninir following my landing I was informed that the city of Annapolis and envious were in danger from an insurrection of the slave population in defiance of the laws of the Slate. What was I to do? I had promised to put down a white mob and to preserve and enforce ;he laws against that. Oiitfht 1 to allow a black one any preferanco in a breaeh of the laws? I understood that I; was armed against all infractions of ihe laws, whether by white or black, and upon that undestandinii I acted, certainly wnh promptness and efficiency. Your Excellency's shadow of disapprobation aiiRcn from a misunderstanding of the facts, his caused all the regret I have had fur that action. TI13 question se'Miied to mo to be neither military or political, and was not to bo so tioated. It was simply a questio.i of good faith anil honesty of purpose. The benign effect of my course waa in. fitantly eee-i. The good but timid people of Annapolis, who had fh'd fn-m their houses at our approaeh, immediately returned; business resumed its accustomed channels, quiet and order prevailed iu tu city; confidence took iho place of distrust, friendship of enmity, brotherly kindness of sectional hate, and I believe today there is no city in tho Union more loyal than ti e ity of Annapolis. I think, there fori. I may safely pint to the result for my justification.
