144 e fazilg Our Defenders. The following noble poem of Thomas Buchanan Read, which stirs the heart like the blast of a trum pet, and which is equal in effect to Tennyson 's " Charg9 of Balaklavit," has recently been twice 'recited in Pittsburg,by Mr. Murdoch, and more Read, by the author himself. By permission of Mr. Read, we, for the first time, publish it in print. It was written for the Americans of Rome, and was first read to them in the ruins of Titus' s'Baths, _as they were gathered to celebrate last Fourth of July. We would like to see the words set to music : OUR flag on the land, and our flag on the ocean, An Angel of Peace wheresoever it goes,— Nobly sustained by Columbia's devotion, The Angel of Death it shall be to our foes. True to our native sky, Still shall our eagle fly, Casting his sentinel glance afar— Though bearing the olive branch, Still in his talons staunch, Grasping the bolts of the thunders of War 1 Hark to the sound, there's a foe on our border, A foe striding on to the gulf of his doom; Free men are rising, and marching in order, . Leaving the plough, and anvil, and loom Rust dims the harvest sheen 01 scythe and of sickle keen. The axe sleeps_ in peace by the tree it would mar, Veteran and youth are out, Swelling the battle shout, Grasping the bolts of the thunders of War Our bravo mountain eagles swoop from their eyrie Our lithe panthers leap from forest and plain, Out of the West flash the flames of the prairie, Out of the East roll the waves of the main I Down from their Northern shores, Loud as Niagara pours, They march and their tread wakes the earth with its jar, Tinder the Stripes and Stars, Each with the soul of Mars, Grasping the bolts of the thunders of War Spite of the sword or assassin's stiletto, While throbs a heart in the breast of the brave, The oak of the North or the Southern palmetto Shall shelter no foe except in his grave While the Gulf billow breaks, 'Echoing the Northern lakes, And ocean 'replies unto ocean afar, Yield we no inch of land, While there's a patriot hand Grasping the bolts of the thunders of War Pittsburg Chronicle. THE GOVERNOR'S ESCAPE. WHEN the British and Tories attacked New London, Connecticut, in 17—, and set a price on the head of Governor Griswold, the latter fled to the town of L—, where his cousin, Mrs. Marvin, hid him, for some days, in a secluded farm-house. But at length the subtle foe discovered his retreat ; and one sunny afternoon in May, he was routed from his hiding place, by the tidings that a band of horsemen were approaching to cap ture him. His only chance of escape was to reach the mouth of a little creek, which emptied itself into the Connecticut river, just above the entrance of the latter into Long Island Sound. There he had a boat stationed, with two faithful. attendants, hidden beneath the high banks of the creek. The distance from the farm-house to the boat was two miles by the usual traveled road. But a little sheep path across the farmer's orchards would bring him to the road, only a mile from the - btvl, ) -- zma—earrv-o—trmbrter!e--len-s-fl--of---}ris-fegtr=- ful run fox life. Just where the narrow path from the orchard opened into the road, Hetty Martin sat, with her dog Towser, tending the bleach ing of the household linen. The long web of forty yards, or more, which was diligently spun and woven during the long winter months, was whitened in May, and thus made ready for use. This business of bleaching was well economized, being usually done by the younger daughters of the family, who were not old enough to spin, or strong enough enough for the heavier work of the kitchen and dairy. The roll of linen was taken by the farmer or his stout "help " to a grassy plat, beside a spring or meadow brook. There it was thoroughly , wetted and spread upon the green turf, to take the heat of the sun . by day, and the dew at night. The little maiden who tended it would sit near it during the day, with her knitting or her book, and as fast as the sun dried its folds she would sprinkle the water over it with her gourd-shell dipper, and make it wet again. Thus sat Hetty Martin, the ycung daughter of Gov. Griswold's cousin, when her hunted friend sprang past her into the road to escape from his pursuers. Hefty was a timid child of about twelve years yet thoughtful and wise beyond many of her elders. She was frightened by the headlong haste with which the Governor rushed across the meadow. But she quickly comprehended the scene, and instantly quieted her faithful Towser, who, though a friend of the family guest, thought -it becoming to bark loudly at his hurried steps. Her wise forethought arrested the Gover nor's notice, and suggested a scheme to de lude his pursuers. "Hetty," he said, earn estly, "I am flying for my life, and unless I can reach my boat before I am overtaken, I am a lost man. You see the road forks here. New I want to run down this way to the river. But you must tell the rascals who are chasing me that -I have gone up the road to catch the mail wagon, which will soon be along, you know. Then they will turn off the other day." "Oh, cousin !" said the little girl in an agony of distress, " I cannot tell a lie • in deed, I cannot. Why did you tell me which way you wore going _Hefty, dear child, surelyr you would not betray me to my death I ,Hark they are coming—l hear the click of their horses' Amt. Oh, Hetty, tell them that I have gone ttp the road instead of down, and Heaven will bless you 1" " Heaven never blesses those who speak falsely, cousin. But I will not tell them which way you go, even if they kill me ; so run as quickly as possible." "It's of no use ; unless I can deceive them am a dead man." "Cousin, cousin, hide under my web of cloth; they'd never think of looking here for you. Come, get down as swift as you can, and I'll. cover you, and stand sprinkling my linen." "It's my only chance, child; I'll get down as you say." And suiting the action to the word the Governor was soon hidden under the ample folds of the cloth. Angry that their expected prey had escaped from the house where they hoped to secure hinl, the six mounted tories, headed by a British officer, dashed along the road in swift pursuit. At sight of the little girl in the meadow the leader of the party paused. "Child," he said, sternly, "have you seen a man running away hereabouts?" "Yes, sir," replied Hetty, trembling and flushing. " Which way did he go ?" "I promised not to tell, sir." "But you must, or take the consequences." "I said I wouldn't tell if you killed me," sobbed the frightened girl. " I'll have it out of her," exclaimed the furious officer, with an oath. "Let me speak to her," said the Tory guide, "I know the child, I believe. Isn't your name lletty Martin ?" he asked plea santly. "Yes, sir." "And this man who ran by you a few minutes ago was your mother's cousin, wasn't he ?" "Yes sir, he was." " Weil—we are friends of his—what did he say to you when he came along ?" " He—he told me—that he was flying for his life." "Just so, Hetty ; that was very true. I hope he won't have to fly far. Where was he going to try to hide ? you see I could help him if I knew his plans." Now Hetty was not a whit deceived by this smooth speech. But she was willing to tell as much of the truth as would consist with his safety, and she wisely judged that her frankness would serve her kinsman better than her silence. So she answered her ques tioner candidly. "My cousin said that he was going down this way to the river, where he had a boat; and he wanted me to tell the men that were chasing him that he had gone the other way, to catch the mail-wagon. - "Why didn't you do as he bid you then, when I asked where he had gone ?" thundered the officer fiercely. "I could not tell a lie, sir," was the tear ful answer. cc Hetty," again began the smooth-tongued Tory, "you are a nice child. Everybody knows you are a girl of truth. What did your cousin say when you told him you couldn't tell a falsehood?" "He said he shouldn't think I'd betray him to his death." "And - then you promised him that you wouldn't tell which way he went if you was killed for it?" "Yes, sir." "That was a brave speech; and so, I sup pose he thanked you for it, and ran down the road as quick as possible." "I promised mit to tell where he went, sir." "Oh, yes, I forgot. Well, tell us his last words, and we won't trouble you any more." "His last words were, It's my only chance, child, and I'll get down as you say.' And overcome by the fright, and the sense of her kinsman's danger, should they rightly interpret the language which she had re ported, she sobbed aloud and hid .her face from sight. Her tormentors did not stay longer to soothe or question her. They bad got, as "hey supposed, the information which they wanted, and pushei rapidly on down to the river. Now the Governor had. arranged a signal with his boatmen, that a white cloth by day, or a light in the night, displayed from the attic window of his hiding place, which was just visible at the mouth of the creek, should inform them if he were in trouble, and put them upon the alert to help him. As soon, therefore, as he started from his cousin's, the signal oated from the win dow to warn them. And when they saw the • •I - mycsarty dash-madly down• the road to the river, and recognized the British uniform of the leader, they pulled swiftly out to sea. The horsemen reached the shore only in season to see the boat, with two men in it, nearly out of sight, and supposing their des tined prey, had escaped, relinquished the pur suit. Meanwhile the hunted victim lay safe and quiet where the simple shrewdness-of his little cousin had hidden him, until the time came for her return to the house for supper. Then he bade her go as usual to her home ; telling her to ask her mother to place the signal lamp, as soon as it grew dark, in the window for the boatmen, and to send him there some supper, with his valise, which in the hurry of departure, he had left behind. The signal recalled the boat, which after twilight had ventured in sight of the shore and the farm-house, and the Governor quietly made his way to the river in safety. When he rejoined his family in a secure home, he named the infant daughter which had been born in his absence, "lietty Marvin," that he might be daily reminded of the little cousin whose truth and shrewdness had saved his life.---Student and Schoolmate.

' After a few moments' pause, a bright-eyed little fellow, about six years old, replied, Speak ing a word to God for us, sir."' irocttlantoito. THE - INEBRIATE'S ROME, We do not yield to the claims of mate rialists by admitting that man is part matter and part spirit. We 'may safely concede that many forms of vice present a material, as well in a spiritual side, to the labors of law-makers and philanthropists ; and that, in . the treatment of such a vice as drunken ness, common prudence would suggest the use of every appliance, physical and moral, within our reach, for its mitigation. Not as antagonistic to moral reform, therefore, but as co-operative, do•we regard and welcome the efforts now making for the cure of drunk enness as a disease in the " Inebriates' Homes" in this and other countries. Of the Home at Binghampton, N. Y., the Methodist says : " Nearly twenty years since Dr. J. Edward Turner, a native of New England, conceived the idea of establishing an asylum for ine briates, where, removed by restraint from temptation, and surrounded by wholesome influences, they should recover their man hood and self-control. Intemperance was fast sapping the foundations of society. Phi lanthropists who came to the rescue were baffled on every hand, and the public mind was fast coming to the belief, that like the leper, the common drunkard was beyond hope. His experience with this unfortunate class had led Dr. Turner to a different con clusion. Intemperance he believed to be a disease, and, as such, capable of effectual Ini tt iran frtobtfetian and 11,entott Ttirangtliot. cure. He embarked for Europe to learn more of the malady as it existed in other countries. Many years were spent in study ing it in all its various forms, collecting sta tistics, and maturing his plans. He visited all the principal cities of Great Britain, France, Prussia, Germany, and, recrossing the ocean, those of the Cana(las and his own country. All his investigations confirmed his original opinion, and he at once decided on putting his scheme into operation. He chose the State of New York for the field of operations. Those who had a personal know ledge of the success with which he had treated several cases before deemed as hopeless, a few brother physicians, and several Christian philanthropists, welcomed the enterprise ; but from the mass of people it met with all the opposition which reforms generally en counter. In vain was the subject pressed upon the Legislature at Albany. His plan of reformation was opposed by one as being coercive, and by another as ridiculous. Un daunted, however, by the poor encourage ment which he received, Dr. Turner brought to the work all that native energy which has characterized him from boyhood, and after spending eight or nine winters at Albany, he succeeded in securing the passage of an act incorporating "The New York State In ebriate Asylum." Public attention had be come more interested in the subject, and by personal appeals he succeeded in procuring one hundred thousand dollars as a building fund. Binghampton, the county seat of Broome county, was chosen as the place for locating this institution. Two miles and a half from the town, on-a beautiful hill over looking 'the city, and close by the' bank of the romantic Susquehanna, the corner stone of this noble institution was laid, September, 24th, 1858, amid eloquent appeals uttered by the lamented Dr. John W. Francis, Ben jamin F. Butler, and by Messis. Bellows, Daniel S. Dickinson, who resides at Bing hampton, and Hon. Edward Everett. The main building •is one of the finest specimens of architecture in this country, being of Gothic style, three hundred and seventy-five feet in length, and three stories in height. Each patient will be fUrnished with meals at his own room, " thus avoiding that forced contact of anomalous cases, and that unge nial companionship which is so revolting to self-respect." Warm and cold. baths will be provided. In the centre of the edifice is the chapel, forty feet high and eighty-two feet broad. The library room is sixty by thirty feet in area. The grounds - , which comprise two hundred and fifty acres, include a beautiful grove and lawn, a large garden and wide grain and meadow fields, which will afford recreative employment to the patients. In accordance with the charter granted by the Legislature, any person proven to be an 'in ebriate can be arrested and taken to this retreat; but the confinement is rather intend ed to be voluntary : to afford a protection to those who cannot resist the temptation to strong drink. It is also designed to remove as.much as possible from the institution the idea of charity. The patients are expected to defray their expenses in part by labor, and those who are able will pay their quar terly dues the same as at any retreat. The Methodist also quotes Henry F. Tuck erman, in the North American Review, as saying among other things : "If the inebriate asylum achieved no other social good than to affor 7 d — aiire — r - eirea7rVir the victims of intemperance, where they are out of the way of terAptation, and provided with the essential comforts' of life, it would prove an institution of incalculable worth both to society and' to the individual. But these are but its negative advantages. Its scope is far wider, its object higher ; its ,possible and probable results such as will not only meet a great social need, but work a vast social reformation, for its object is curative as well as protective. Removed, as he is, from the familiar scenes of conscious degradation, environed by the serene beauty and freshness of nature, subjected to a wise hygiene, and furnished with the means of salubrious recreation and genial culture, an opportunity is secured to cast off the thral dom, to heal the disease, to recuperate the exhausted powers ; and, if too late for this, at least for the retirement and repose, the alle vation, and the moral support wherewith the 'good physician - ministers to declining na ture." Dr. Turner is:now about forty-five years of age, of gentlemanly and courteous bearing, and much respected by those who have been brought in contact with him. The people of Binghampton heartily co-operate with him in this enterprise, contributing in various ways to its • completion. Having made the subject a life-study, he is especially fitted to take charge of the asylum. Though able to receive but four hundred patients, he has already received applications from forty seven hundred men, besides numerous women who have sought admiesion—a striking com ment upon the need of such a retreat." One of our Western exchanges, comment ing on these arrangements, declares its con fidence in the enterprise so far as concerns the drunkard, but adds the following in re gard to the deeper root of the evil : "If some philanthropists could build and endow an institution where distillers and venders of intoxicating drinks could be cured of their lust far : the unholy gain their traffic brings, and Wileie the eyes.Of ourlaii-makers could be opened to see the eternal woe and misery they license, how soon would our country be redeemed from the curse of drunkenness." CAPTAIN ERICSSON THE EMINENT EN GINEER. Tun inventor of the floating-battery Mon itor has lived to reap a triumph which few men enjoy. Long years of penury and toil are rewarded by the praise and gratitude of an entire nation. - In years past he has ori ginated inventions Which would satisfy the aspirations of most men ; but, not content with these achievements, lie has pressed on in the path of discovery, and has now added his name on the list of illustrions patriots who have' devoted their energies, to the salvation of their adopted country. _ JOHN ERICSSON was born in Wertneland, Sweden, in 1803. His father being an en gineer, the son's earliest impressions were derived - from'engines and machinery. When only eleven years of age, he attracted the attention of the eminent Count Platin, the intimate friend of Bernadotte, through whose influence he obtained the position of Engineer Cadet His' first employment was that of laying out the work for more than six hundred men to perform on the great ship Canal. When seventeen years of age he en tered the Swiss army, and was soon promot ed from an ensignship to a lieutenant's posi tion. Accompanying his regiment to the northern highlands, he there . made valuable surveys, maps of which are to be seen to this day in the archives of Sweden. He soon in vented a flame -engine, and obtaining leave of absence, visited England for the purpose of introducing it there. It did not, however, meet his expectations, besides involving him in heavy expenditures. He soon resigned his commission, and &rioted himself exclu sively to mechanical :pursuits. His next in vention was a steam 4k*"...: on the principal of artificial draft. Ars discovery effected a great saving of fuel, and-in 1829 was applied to locomotives on the Liverpool and Man. - chester Railroad. The managers of this road had offered a prize for, the best locomotive engine, and in seven' weeks the diligent Ericsson planned and executed the drawings of an engine and cotapleted the machine. 1 Under `his guidance it easily made fifty miles an hour. This principle of artificial draft is retained to this day in the construction of railroad engines, though owing to the 'dis covery of a cheaper mode of procuring it, which was shortly afterwards found out, Eriession has been butllittle benefited by his invention. For a similar engine afterward constructed for the Efing of Prussia, he re ceived the prize medillof the Mechanics' In stitute of New-York.t r. Lardner and Pro fessor Faraday were slighted with it, and Dr. Andrew :Ure wexik so far as to say that the invention Would draw the name of his great countryn ; kan J lies Watt, into the shade. We next4e 9 t - our hero as devot g ing himself to havi 4on, inventing a pro i peller and a new arrangement of the steam machinery in ship of war. The English gov ernment gave him but ttle encouragement to carry on his inyestiga ens ; but through the influence of Commod re Stockton he was brought to the notice f the Government.at Washington, and amp' funds furnished him. 1n.1839 he came to t "s city, and in 1841 was employed to build the U. S. ship-of-war t l im Princeton according to 's new theory. This was the first steam , shi ever built with the propelling machinery under the water-line and out of the reach o shot. It was also furnish, ehanical novelties, am rest-acting steam-engi . a sliding telescope citiarney, (now used on the Monitor,) and gun- car •iages with machinery for checing the recol of the gun. From this time forward griCsson , appears :to have ri c become thoroughly A ericanized in his feel ings, placing }n-the. , nited-States division Diti of the great doty . tibition of 1851, an instrument for measui*g distances at sea, a hydrostatic guage for q ineasuring the volume of fluidsunder pressure, a reciprocating, luid meter for measuring the quantity. of water which passes through ,pipes during definite periods, an alarm, barbmeter, kyrOnteter,'in tended as a standard Measure of temperature from the freezing-poi 4 of water, up to the melting-point of iron ;la rotary fluid-meter, the principle of which,is the measurement of fluids by the velocity , with which they pass through apertures of definite dimensions ; and a sea-lead, contrived far taking soundings at sea without rounding the vessel to the wind, and independently of the length of the lead line. In 1852 the King of Sweden made him a knight, of the 0 - rder of Vasa. The same year he completed the celebrated cal oric engine, which.at once gave him a wide reputation. He aimed in this caloric or air engine, to transfornitheat into power, 'by means of air. After constrnctingilleveral machines, he I • . .9 9 te-:- N - 037 -yEt e r stezim hi yr .tx after himself,. which he furnished with the calorie extgilms...—lveyvk maatbs from`-the time the keel - was itwit 'the steamer was a float. In the latter wart of February, 1853, it made its trial trip froM thin city to Alexan dria. The engines *ere in operation for seventy-three hours without being stopped for a moment, and only five tons of coal were consumed per day. 4 The President-elect, heads of the various departments, and - other distinguished persons ' visited tlinEricsson at Alexandria, and the Secretary of the Navy, in a. special message, 'recommended the ap propriation of $500,000 for the purpose of building a frigate on . the caloric principle. Owing, however, to the fact that the speed of the caloric steamer was not as great as that attained by stead, Government did not approve of building the frigate. The caloric engines of the - Eriessma were afterwards dis placed by the steam,egines. By no means discouraged, howevet l 7 3 griesson has contin ued to perfect his hii ntiop until it is now applied to purposes ",f pumping, printing, hoisting, grinding, salting, turning machine ry of various kinds, w9rking telegraphic in s truments and sewing ,machines and propel ling boats. Between two and three hundred of them are in successfid operation. In July, 1855, and April, 1850, he received patents for additional improvanents in air-engines. Thoroughly imbued with that spirit of pa triotism which has characterized our adopted citizens in this crisis, Captain Ericsson pro posed to the War Department last fall to build a formidable iron battery. The idea was no new one with ' him but the result of twenty-five years' study directed to the mak ing of an invulnerable siege battery. Dur ing the Crimean warohe had proposed the building of a similar Structure to Louis Na poleon, who expressed; himself much pleased with the design, but &dined to carry it in to— it execution. - The authorities at,',Washington approved his project, and .9A • -501 of last October he signed a contract r the construction of . the battery. On thelst of - December, be ing exactly two moat * and eight days, her steam machinery and propeller were put into operation,. and on the tout hundred and first working day, after cOmmencing the - work, she was launched, The Monitor is long, wide, and flat-bot tomed, with vertical sides and pointed ends, floats in very shallow - water, carries two large guns, and is so low in the water as to afford no target for'art: enemy's guns. The upper vessel is one hundred and seventy-two feet in length. Capt. Ericsson- resides in this city, and is now busiily engaged on plans for a still more formidable vessel than the Monitor. He •labors diligently nearly sixteen hours every day, and will, ere long, undoubtedly astound the world with some discovery far surpassing his present achieve- I ment.—Neto York llirothodist. et Schools and the 1. 3 :7 . ; :-,ln. the rest of Ger many, the scheot anA, > : :e, press.appear to be filling more and moie nto the hands of the party opposed to vital, tallness.

So rapid was the progress of the flames, before we could reach the store, - the whole interior was one mass of fire. 'The Ejafe - beng in the back part of the , store, and surrounded by than:test combustible materials, was exposed to great heat. It fell with the walls of that part of the building- into the cellar, and remained im bedded in the ruins for more than thirty hours. The Safe was opened this morning in the presence of a number of gentlemen, and the contents, comprising our books, bills, receivable money, and a large amount of valuable papers, are all safe; not tithing was touched by fire. Respectfully, yours, THEO. H. PETERS k CO. The above Safe can be seen at our store, where the public are invited to call and examine it. FARREL,HERRING & CO. No. 629 CHESTNUT Sr. (Jayne'. Hall.)
