"ANNALS OF THE POOR."
THE IVNTEIt'S BATTLE.
Some months ago we found our way up into
the fourth story of a house on one of the principal
streets of. the lower end of the city, and after
gently knocking upon the door *ere invited to
" come in;" a seat being banded us, we drew near
to the half-warmed stove and entered into conver
sation with Mrs. D—. Her story, which we
have since learned is true, was the plain, simple
narrative which could be told by so many hun
dreds of our population. Some years ago, when
first married, her husband was a comparatively
sober and industrious man; he had the trade of
a shoemaker, on the earnings of which they lived
in comparative ease; but as their family increased,
and he should have grown firmer and firmer in
his support of their little ones, - he, on the con
trary, gradually undermined his health with ardent
spirits, and finally during the fall of last year, so
overturned his reason that from morn until night
he would sit at his window, and drop one after
another of his tools and materials into the street
below. He was removed to a fitting asylum.
Thus a mother, for no fault of her own, with
her three helpless little ones was left alone upon
this sea of life to battle against the waves of ad
versity—perhaps to be buffeted, tossed, and finally
to sink, or, mayhap, to battle bravely on. The
prospect ahead looked dark and gloomy; a winter,
cold and cheerless, was slowly coming on; already
the autumn loaves were fast falling—sure pre
cursors of the coming blast, and where would be the
welcome tread of the father, bringing home his
weekly earnings to supply the food, and necessary
raiment, and fuel? Truly there is a Father in
heaven who counts the hairs of our heads, and
permits not a sparrow to fall to the ground with
out his knowledge, and he will also care for these
little ones; but this mother's heart is not consoled
by this; little has she learned of God. Nay, her
arms were strong, her health was good, and she
would enter the battle bravely.
Earnestly did she seek for work, but the panic
Caine, and what work she bad and could get, was
diminished until her weekly earnings were but
seventy•flve cents, with which she must pay Pity
cents for rent, and the remnant of twenty-five
cents she divides among four hungry mouths,
giving to each one a loaf of bread to last for a
week, without fuel or clothing, Thus, with what
little assistance they could procure, the winter
was spent, and spring, with its bright sun, was
breaking its way past the hardships of winter,
when the loud-sounding notes of WAR unsettled
our affairs still worse, and this poor family are
now entirely without work. What must be in
the end?

OUR OWN ONITROH.
Duty of the Ministry in the War. The
Presbytery of Niagara, at their recent meeting,
passed the following:--
Resolved, That, in the opinion of this body, it is
the duty of the ministry to hold up before the people
of their Revel al charges the importance of doing
'ihnt they can for the support of our Government in
its present crisis, as being ordained of God.
A New Chnrolt has been organized in Michigan
in the settlement at the mouth of the Chocolate
river, which empties into Lake Superior from its
southern bank.
Installation at Jacksonville, Ills.—Rev. D. g.
Hamilton, late of New Haven, was installed pastor
of the Westminster Church, at the above place, on
the 7th inst. A correspondent of the Evangelist thus.
speaks of the sermon preached on the occasion and
of the new pastor:—
"Dr. Nelson's sermon was on 'Our Chnrch's idea
of the Ministry and its mode of realizing it,' and
was received with universal favor. It would make
a capital tract for our Publication Committee.
"It will be a joy to parents, in our churches in all
Central and Southern Illinois, to learn that the sons
and daughters, who are sent to Illinois College and
to the Jacksonville Female Academy, can be under
the ministry of such a man as Brother Hamilton.
In ministerial gifts, in depth and grasp, and mascu
line energy of thought, he has among us few equals,
and perhaps no superior."
Clerical Calls, Chan :gee, &e.--litay. EDGAR W.
CLARK has been released from his pastoral charge a

NEWS OF TEE STRUGGLE.
A Great Difference.—The intolerance of the
Southern people towards those who differed' from
them in opinion, was always noteritius, and their
violent treatment of Northern men for no other of
fence than the free expression of their sentiments,
was one of the standing grievances, which was never
remedied, nor even mentioned, in any of the compro
mises which have been patched up between us. The
North, on the contrary, has freely tolerated the most
insulting defamation of her people and their peculiari
ties on the part of such Southerners as chose to ex
press themselves in such a manner in our midst.
And now, precisely the same difference's of temper
are manifest in the two sections. While innocent
and peaceable men at the South, whose only crime
is a Northern origin and Northern attachments, are
compelled to take up arms, or publicly avow alle
giance to the rebel government, or fly with scarce a
moment's warning, and are actually coming. North
by hundreds and thousands, it is utterly impossible to
point to any corresponding acts on the part of th e North
towards persons of Southern preferences, who simply
mind their own business among us. No one thinks
of the inhuman measure of compelling them to bear
arms against former neighbors and relations. Our
own volunteers are so numerous that we are unable
to muster them into service or to equip them with de
sirable rapidity; we have no occasion, therefore, if
we had the wish, to press these people into service.
The vigilance of the police, and the wrath of the peo
ple are directed only to such as, on adequate grounds,
are suspected of actively, espousing the cause of the
enemy. Senator Bayard, of Delaware, who has been
prominent, ever since the Democratic Convention in
Charleston, as an ultra pro-Southern politician, and
whose absence in the far South until recently, on a
visit, it was believed to Montgomery has excited a
. i :al of interhre
e soon aware o t it, and
some disposition to interfere with Mr. Bayard was
exhibited. To secure protection he allowed himself
to be arrested by the police. lie was conveyed to
the Central Station where he was kindly cared for,
and Lieut. Henderson and his men took pains to
show him the various curious insignia of the Police
Head-quarters, among which are a number of slip
nooses' labelled, "Death to Traitors."
The Senator looked upon all with a troubled air,
until he was relieved by the arrival of his Honor,
Mayor Henry, who placed the Honorable gentleman
in a carriage, after a whispering conversation. The
carriage rolled rapidly away, and nothing was heard
of his whereabouts, save in ; ,the way
~of surmises.
This is the worst that has been done in , the North to
any prominent man, believed , to be.in full sympathy
with the plans of the traitors.- Contrast with it such
statements as the following, (and similar ones are ap
.
peering every day:) .
A week or two since seven hundred free citizens were
driven from Memphis, and afterwards eight hundred
more in a single day. Also with 'the perils of a

delphia on Wednesday morning, the Bth of May.
Two Ohio regiments arrived in this city the same
day,
DESERTIONS FROM' TUE VOLUNTEER Raxxs.—Very
few desertions have taken place in the Pennsylvania
line up to this time. The proportion is not as one
to ten of the desertions which took place from the
two regiments which marched to Mexico in 1846.
The desertions up to this time do not average one to.
each company after being sworn in. Probably one
hundred have ran away, whiCh, in an, army of twelve
thousand volunteers, is unparalleled in the annals of
history. In the late war with Great Britain, whole
companies deserted after being fully cognizant of the
hardships of camp life, and in the Meiican war :
some companies lost a third of their men before they
left New Orleans.
THE WEST TO THE SUPPORT OF GOVERN'VENT.—The
offers of troops from the West are astonishing. The
goverment, it is said, has already received proffers of:
service from two hundred and fifty thousand men, all
west of the Alleghenies. This immense multitude
is ready for instant and aetiye service, and each regi
ment is made up of hardy troops. The men of the.

TIM MAINE SHIP4IIIIIDERS.-AtiCIISTA, may S.—
At a meeting of the leading ship owners and com
mercial men of the State, a resolution was adopted
tendering their services to the Government, and
pledging their ability to furnish thirty steam vessels
in sixty or ninety days. A committee has been ap
pointed to proceed to Washington and urge vigorous
action in the premises.
Ouzo is proceeding to organize a first reserve corps
of 100,000 men, and is dividing her whole popula
tion, capable of bearing arms, 300,000 in number,
into classes, in view of possible contingencies. .
Hort, Joule A. Dix, of New York, whose brief and
patriotic career as Secretary of the Treasury almost
redeemed the concluding months of Mr. Buchanan's
administration from overwhelming disgrace ,
and
whose orders, intercepted by the rebels, to shoot any
man on the spot who attempted to haul down the Ame
rican flag, went like electricity through the despond
ing heart of the people, has been appointed Major
General of the volunteer forces of. New York State.
The World says:
It is well; it is beoomiog; deans et decorum est, he
who issued that order should receive the highest
command which his State has to bestow among the
defenders of that flag, the sacred inviolability of
which ho was so prompt and determined to main

THP AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.—This antiquated
and obstinately conservative institution hoe caught
the spirit of loyalty now abroad in the land, and its
last anniversary meeting overflowed with a spirit
which, no doubt, surprises the peace-loving editor of
the Christian Observer, and all other conditional pa
triots. The N. Y. World says of the meeting:
We undertake to say that there has been no ga
thering, political or of any other kind whatever,
since this rebellion began, which has glowed with in
tenser patriotism and more determined resolution to
sustain the government to the last extremity, than
this meeting of the society which, of all others, was
thought to be most thoroughly wedded to the policy
of quiescence.
WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.—Tbe N.
Y. Courier and Inquirer , of a recent date, speaking
of the great rapidity oirecent military movements
at the North, says:
There is not on record any similar gathering of
soldiers from the walks of civil life; and not only do
all concerned merit the greatest credit for what has
been achieved, but it is not too much to say, thitt we
are the only people on the globe who could have done
as much, and so efficiently, in the same period of
time. Pending the Crimean War, Lord Ellesmere
delivered a lecture at Manchestei, lb which he de=

cently done; and could his Lordship have lived to
witness what the last two weeks has accomplished
even he would have had cause to exclaim that it has
exceeded what was deemed practicable.
PRINCETON IN THE
. CRISIB.—The students in this
venerable and conservative Institution have become
fully aroused to the dangers which threaten the
country, and show an enthusiastic and intelligent
patriotism. In this feeling we are pleased to see that
tbe faculty fully participate. The Newark Sentinel
has the following:
Dr. McGill, a few days ago, in response to calls for
a speech, said "he wished he was like them, a young
man, to enlist In the service of our country." Prof.
Stephen Alexander said, "He would Tither have his
tongue out out and his right arm cut off, than the
Union should be destroyed. Another Professor, "a
Breckinridge Democrat," remarked that he would
rather one-half of the North should be launched into
eternity, and he among the number, than have the
right of secession acknowledged. These are strong
expressions, but uttered by calm, deliberate and
Christian men, and such as should be expected in so
reasonable and holy a cause.
A NEW LIGHT, says "OccaMoat" in the Press, has
beamed upon our people. We have• discovered that
our public opinion Is not weakened, but rather
strengthened, by an admixture of the martial spirit;
and we are now realizing that, if this Government of
ours is to succeed, it will only be when the edicts of
the people, fairly expressed, are backed up by the
strong arm of the Government, sided by a powerful
army and navy.
PUNISHMENT OF THE SOUTH.—The N. Y. Courier
and Inquirer; on this topic, expresses itself as fol
lows:
Such is the punishment which Jeff. Davis and his
associate rebels nre bringing upon the South. Just as
certainly
, as ,they.l:B,9ue

them pot this in their pipes and smoke it. Persons
living in glass houses, should never commence the
amusement of throwing stones at their . neighbors;
and the game threatened by the rebels will be only
another Cause:for their utter annihilation.' ' The tithe
fo - r temporizing with traitors is past. They have in
augurated a war, and made proclamStion as to the
manner in which it is to be waged; and they may
rest assured that they shall have war with all its con-,
sequences to their hearts' content. -
The South.—Vlnanfu. has been formally'admit
ted into the councils of the rebels. Two of her mem
bers of Congfess were sworn in on Tueiday, the - 7th.
The Tennessee Legislature last week passed air ordi
nance of secession and alliance with the Confederated
States, subject to a vote of the people on the Bth of
June. A military bill was passed, calling for 55,000
troops, and appropriating $2.000.000 unconditionally
for war purposes, and $3.000.000 conditionally.
Loutsvuxs, May 7tlf.---A 'reliable private despatch
says that the Arkansas State Convention yesterday
passed the 'secession ordinance, by a vote of 69 yeas
to 1 nay.
THE REBEL' CONORBSB has passed an act recognising
the existence of war with the United States, and con
cerning lettere of marque and reprisals, and providing
for the disposition of prize goods. The preamble
recites the acts of Mr. Lincoln and his proclamation,
and declares that it is necessary forth Confederate
States to accept the war , thus cotnmeneetrb3r,hitn.

tucky.
REPUDIATION.-All parties in Georgia are, by pro
clamation of the Governor, forbid paying anything
to Northern creditors. Letters have been received
in the South from the banks of that State acknow
ledging the collection of debts for Northern houses,
the proceeds of which had been plabed to the credit
of the State of Georgia. "Of course (says the Press)
this mill cause much distress among - those in the
North who are engaged in Southern trade, or have
investments in the South. It is the duty of the Ge
neral Government to see that their interests are pro
tected and their grievances redressed. The Govern
ment should compel the payment of every dollar
these people owe to our people, with interest upon
the same, and we have no doubt that before this con
test is , at an end,•such a policy will be carried into
effect."
Maryland.—By way of Harrisburg, we learn that
on the Bth of May-all the bridges that had been de
stroyed on-the route from that city to Baltimore bad
been rebuilt.
GOVERNOR RICKS, in reply to the resolution of in
quiry by the Legislature, asking whether heconsented
to or authorized the burning of 'the bridges on the
Northern, Central, and Philadelphia roads, says he
neither authorized nor consented to the destruction
of the said bridges, but leftthe whole matter in the
hands of the Mayor of Baltimore, with the declara
tion that he had no authority in the premises, and
that he was a lover of law and order, and could not
participate in such proceedings.
The City Council of Baltimore made an appropria
tion to rebuild thebridge at Canton on the Philadelphia
road. The recruiting for the U. S. army is actively pro
gressing in that'city. The whole four regiments de
manded of Maryland by the National Government
will soon be filled up. „

THE SECESSIONISTS have organized two companies

DICKINSON'S PATENT STEAM GUN, manufactured by
Rosa Winans, of Baltimore, for the use of the rioters
of that city, (as was said,) was captured on the 6th by
the United States forces at the Relay House, while on
its way to the rebel troops at Harper's Ferry. Dick
inson, himself, who was with it, was taken prisoner,
and orders are said to have been issued for the ap
prehension of Ross Winans himself, the great iron
manufacturer'and millionaire of Baltimore.
Western Virginia.—WIIEELING—A Convention
of delegates from Western Virginia was opened in
Wheeling on Monday. About thirty counties are
said to have appointed delegates. It is proposed
to separate from the Eastern portion of they State at
once, and to take measures for establishingau inde

Legislature to make an appropriation for arming
Kentucky under the direction of a military commis

Legiilature to-day adopted resolutions calling for the'
correspondence between Governor Magoffin and the
Confederate States' authorities; also, inquiring whe
ther the Confederate States had made any requisition
on Kentucky for troops, and
.the Governor's reply
thereto. Governor Magoffin's message is altogether
in sympathy. with- secession,. though he does not di
reetly recommend it. Several counties have given
very heavy Union majorities in the election of min
didatee for a Border State Convention.
Blissonri.—Civil war has broken oat in this State
between the national forcei who have volunteered
from among her loyal citizens ; and the secessionists
under the bidding of the Governor of the State, as
appears from the following dispatch:
ST. LOUIS, May 10.--General Frost's brigade of
Missouri militia, encamped at Camp Jackson, on
the western outskirts of the• city, surrendered, uncon
ditionally, this afternoon, on the demand of Captain
Lyon, commander of the United States forces in this
city.
Captain Lyons marched on Camp Jackson with
some thousand volunteers, surrounded it, and having
planted eight field-pieces on the adjoining eminence,
summoned them to surrender at a half hour's notice.
Afterwards the mob threw stones and fired on the
national troops.
One'shot took effect in the leg of Captain Blanlow
sky, and, as he fell, he gave the word to fire, which
was obeyed by some two or three companies, result
ing in the death of upwards of twenty persons, in
cluding two women and several children, and badly
wounding several others.
The North.—TROOPS OFFERED TO GOVERNMENT:
Upon the authority of the Washington Star, the
at:dement ie made that up to this time the total num
ber of troops whose services have been accepted by
and offered to the GovernMent, for the present emer
gency, amounts to the extraordinary number of
three hundred thousand.
English Opinion.—By the Great Eastern, which
reached .New York on Saturday, we learn that the
Commissioners of the Southern Confederacy had
reached England.
Mr. Gregory's motion in the House of Commons
relative to the recognition of the Southern Confede-
racy, had been postponed two weeks. in answer to
a question in the House of Lords, on the 29th ult.,
Lord Woodhouse stated that the Government recog
nized no right or obligation to interfere in the con
flict unhappily commenced in the United States--
either diplomatically or otherwise.
The English papers continue to discuss American
affairs, the entire London press, except the Times,
sympathizing warmly with the loyal States, and an
ticipating an early triumph for the Government.
The London Times fears that there will be serious
conflicts if the North is determined to enforce obe
dience.

of a practical Chemist and Mining Engineer.
The School is in session during the Summer months,

The marked, and ever extending, popularity of
SINGFK'S SEWING• MACHINES, both in America
and Europe, is such as bed to establish their superiority
over all others in the market. Sewing machines (so
called) may be bought, it is true, for a smaller amount
