The Earth is Fall of Thy Blehcs.
BY W, C. BRYANT.
Almighty! hear us, while we raise
Our hymn of thankfulness and praise,
That thou hast given the human race
Ho bright, so fair a dwelling-place;
That when this orb of sea and land
Was moulded in thy forming hand,
Thy calm, benignant smile impressed
A beam of Leaven upon its breast.
Then towered the hills, and, bioad and green,
The vale’s deep pathway sank between;
Then stretched the plain to where the sky
Stoops and shuts in the exploring eye;
And stately groves, beneath thy smile,
Arose on continent and isle;
And fruits came forth, and blossoms glowed,
And fountains gushed, and rivers flowed:
Thy hand outspread the billowy plains
Of ocean —nurse of genial rains;
Hung high the glorious sun, and set
Night's cressets in her arch of jet.
lord, teach us, while the unsated gaze,
Delighted, on thy works delays,
To deem the forms of beauty here
But shadows of a brighter sphere.

A CONCERTO-BEGINNING AT 3 A. M.
There is no one thing that I know of,
which birds do as people would , do it ■ and
so their concerts are just as different from
ours as they well can be. Let us look at the
concert-room first. Now ours is all ablaze
with lights, and often there ,are white pil
lars, and cushioned seats, and gilding,; and
red curtains. But in the ; concert-room of
the birds, there are tall tree-stems for pillars;
and the cushions are all iof moss, and lie on
the ground. And instead of being light, it
is dusky enough ; with only a few stars shi
ning down, and the faint, faint coming of the
dawn. Then our instruments are stiff, wood
en things, with Wires and- 'strings and keys;
but all the instrument a bird has, is his own
soft little throat, all covered With feathers on
the outside, while from within comes wonder
ful music. And here are no elbows stuck out,
no wide-stretched mouths: the bird just opens
his bill far enough to be pretty, and out
comes the song. ■
Our concerts are generally over about bed
time —but the birds have theirs when they
first get up ; and as soon as it'is ended they
have breakfast and go to work-rr-while we
undress and go to bed. And our musicians
are paid for their music,—but the birds sing
for nothing but a heart full of joy, and the
morning star, and the summer wind.
Don’t you think the birds have the best of
it ?—I do.
Come with me to one of their concerts
you shall have a free ticket, and need go no
further than my window. To be sure, it is
vory early in the morning, but for once you
will not mind that.. And just because so few
people are astir at this time, it is the fairest,
least earthly time, of all the day. But 0,
w hat hearers the birds have sometimes had !
When the Lord Jesus rose up in the morn
ing, “ a great while before day, and depart
ed into a solitary place, and there prayed
ns the day came on, the air must have been
full of songs, for the birds delight in those
solitudes. ’ And doubtless, he “at whose
command the eaglemounteth up,andmaketh
her nest on high,” was well pleased With the
joy of those his lesser creatures. But once,
X think the birds had a hearer who would
not hear; for when “in the end of the Sab
bath, as it began to dawn towards the first
day of the week,” Mary Magdalene went to
the sepulchre, if she noticed the birds at all,
it must have been only to wonder that they
could.sing, She .knew not yet that Jesus
was risen, and all her heart lay in his tomb.
Look out of my window now. Do you
feel the sweet summer morning air ? It is
only just now astir, for I really think the
breeze often goes to sleep at night, like the
rest of the world. It is very dark, and there,
are stars yet overhead, but they are growing
fainter and fainter every minute, and off in
the east. th'ere is a soft, soft light which says
the day will be here by and by. You can
just see the dark pine trees which stand a
little way from my window, and they are the
beginning of the woods. There, is where
the birds have slept all night, getting rested
for their concert; for if you think birds do
not do enough to get tired, you are very
much mistaken. How would you like to be
all day bringing heavy, sticks of timber, as
thick as your ankle, up to the top of a tall
tree; and then to put them in place, and
fetch coarse ropes just big enough to tie them
together ? Or what would you think of fly
ing far and wide over the baeadow, and catch
ing five hundred flies and caterpillars, and
carrying them to your young ones down the
chimney ? Indeed birds know how to work;
and it’s no-wonder they go to ,sleep*so early,
each with his head tucked under his wing;
though how they know when to wake up,with
their eyes hid away in that style, is more
than I can imagine.
Hark! did you hear that low twitter?
that was a song sparrow, singing half in his
sleep I do believe, and trying if his instru
ment were in tune. Twitter, twitter, chirp !
——that is what the birds have for the scra
ping of fiddlestrings and turning of screws.
Twitter, twitter, chirp! And.finding it all
right, he forthwith breaks out into full song —
Those are the words of his song, as translated
by somebody; but who little Joe is, and why
he is so fond of Judy, are matters quite be
yond my ken.
“ See, see, see, see!
** RAR? Jo®i Little Joe, Little Joe,
Kissing Judy, kissing Judy, kissing Judy,
See, see, sea, see. sec! ”
Now comes the thrush ; with a voice like
the clear ringing of silver bells, and. here
unci there & tew soft flute notes thrown in.
But his is a “ song without words,”—you
feel what he means, down in the depths of
your heart, but as he does not put it in words
neither can you.
. “ Reto-way ! Peto-way! Peto-way!” that
IS the wood pewee; and his cousin, the pewit
flycatcher, sings with him—“pe-wee, pewit
titee, pe-wee !” while the hooded flycatcher
contents himself with, “twee, twee, twitchie!”
Gentle, modest voices, all of them. The
• “ ac “- bunting begins his song with
great deliberation, and ends in a great hur
ry—“ Chip-ehip-che, che, che !” and my lit
tlo ohye-tmted pet, the Tennessee warbler,
calls Ba-by ! till you begin to think some
naughty boy must have robbed its nest
Nobody will ever call the cat-birds modest
yet how delicious their song is in all its varie
ties, except indeed the cat cry; and that just
sets off the rest. There is a cat-bird that
sings in the cedar to the east of the house,
who I really think must have been at the
South, taking lessons of the mocking birds.
Far off in the woods you can still hear the
whip-poor-will now and then. He is not
tired, though he has been singing all night.
And who is that queer little bird, that keeps
saying very fast at the top of his voice (and
of a cedar tree too) “ teo, teo, tco-tee! teo
squa!” Ido not even know him by sight.
Now comes on the day ; the night hawk
has gone home, the whip-poor-will is silent,
and all the “ fowls of the heaven which sing
among the branches” are in full chorus, with
very short pause and opportunity for solos
now and then. What a concert! The robins
and orioles whistle, the blue jay acts as trum
peter, and down in the meadow they say the
boh-o-link plays the piano. As the sun comes
up, the yellow birds assemble in some tree to
catch the first bright rays, and how they
twitter and sing I can’t tell you ! Ask your
canary how he would, at large in his native
country. To be sure, he has the cultivation,
but they have the merry heart. And that
is a wonderful help to a voice. The song of
a free canary, is said to be ravishing.
The sun is climbing higher and higher
in the sky, and peering down into the vallies,
and already the birds are dispersing for the
business of the day. Breakfast first —-then
work ; so while one searches for seeds, ano
ther captures a spider, and a third regales
himself with an earth-worm aiinaturel. And
we shall not forget for one day at least, that
“ the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
the flowers appear on the earth; ana the
time of the singing of birds is come!”—Lit
tle American.
THE POLISH STRUGGLE—A HEROIC AND
DESPERATE ACTION.
A paper just published by the National
Government of Lithuania states that a de
tachment of 300 insurgents, under the com
mand of Yineent Koziell. had for the last
four weeks, scoured the drtnet ot Yileika,
proclaiming everywhere the decree, of the
National Government which-secures to the
peasants the lands cultivated by them. The
peasants gave n enthusiastic reception to
the insurgents. The Russians, dreading the
effect of ihi prop ganda, resolve Ito extei
minate Koziell s small troops at any cost.
Strong detachments of troop were con e
quently sent against it from Minsk, Yileika,
and Bouslaw. The insurgents happened to
be between the river Ilia and the brenkwa
ter of Stayewo, constructed by. the Grand
Army in 1812, when, on the 18th of May,
they were suddenly, surrounded on all sides.
The detachments sent from Vileika and Bous
law were drawn up in echelon along the
breakwater, and that from' Minsk occupied
the left bank.of the: Ilia. .There remained
for the insurgents only a nanow passage by
crossing the river in the direction of the
great forest which could be seen at a dis
tance. In order to reaeh the forest it became
necessary to direct the attention of the ene
my to another point. Koziell idopted a
desperate course, “Brother,” said he, some
of us must devote ourselves to save the re
remainder.; J demand 40 generous hearts
ready to die with me.” He was instantly
surrounded by 80 young men who asked to
be permitted to share Ms fate Then, giving
the chief command to a brother officer, he
made his detachment take the road to the
forest, while he with his eighty companions
waited to meet the attack of'.the enemy.
Two hours after the departuie of the detach
ment he crossed the river and, meeting a
Russian corps of 370 men ne~r the village of.
Yiadyki, he commenced . a furious attack.
The volleys of musketry brought the Rus
sians to the place from every direction. Af
ter an which lasted five hours,
forty of his companions alone-remained alive-
He attempted to cross the Ilia a second time,
in order, that, the Russians should lose all
trace of the detachment, but ho was shot
down by. a musket ball.; The remainder died
with him, but his object was accomplished,
and the greater part of the detachment was
saved. ■” - ■

Executive Mansion, Washington, .
, , . June 12,1863.
Hon. Euastus Corning, and others :
Gentleman : Your letter of May 19th, inclosing
the resolutions of a public meeting held at Albany,
N. Y., on the 10th of the dame month, was receiv
ed several days ago: ; *
The resolutions, as I understand them, are re
solvable into two, propositions,. First, the expres
sion of a purpose to sustain' the cause of the
Union, to secure-peace through victory, and to
support the Adminstrataon in every constitution
al and lawful measure to suppress the rebellion •
and secondly, a declaration of censure upon the
Administration for supposed unconstitutional ac
tion, such as the makingof military arrests. And
from .the- two propositions, a third is deduced’
which is.that the gentlemen composing the meet
ing are resolved on doing 'their part to maintain
our common government .and country, despite the
folly or wickedness, as-they may conceive, Of any
Administration. This'position is eminently pa
triotic, and as such I thank ,&e meeting and con
gratulate the nation for it. My own purpose is
the same: so that the meeting and myself have
a common object, and can have no difference ex
cept in the choice of means or measures for effect
ing that object.
And here l ought to close this paper, and would
elose.it,. if there were no apprehension that more
injurious consequences than any merely personal
to myself might follow the censures systematically
cast upon me for doing what,' in my view of duty
I could not forbear. The resolutions promise to
support me in every constitutional and lawful
measure to suppress the rebellion; and I have
not knowingly employed, nor shall knowingly em
ploy, any other. But the meeting, by their reso
lutions, assert and argue - that certain military
arrests, and proceedings following them, for which
I am ultimately responsible, are unconstitutional.
I think they are not. The resolutions quote from
the Constitution the definition of treason, and also
the hunting 1 safeguards and guarantees therein
provided dor the citizen on trial for treason, and
on his being held to answer for capital or other
wise infamous crimes, .and, in criminal prpsecu*
tions, his rights to a speedy and public trial by an
impartial jury. They; proceed to resolve, “ that
these safeguards of the rights of the citizen against
the pretensions of arbitrary power were intended
more especially for his protection in times ot civil
commotion." And, apparently to demonstrate the
proposition, the resolutions proceed: " They were
secured substantially to the English people after
gUmjcati wd (Sinusfie (s» ittplisi.
years of protracted civil war, and were adopted
into our Constitution at the dose ot the tievolu
tion.” Would not the demonstration have been
better if it could have been truly said that these
safeguards had been adopted and applied duvitiffthQ
civil wars and during our Revolution, instead of
after the one and at the dose of the other? I, too,
am devotedly for them after civil war, and before
civil war, and at all times, “ except when, m
cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety
may require" their suspension. The resolutions
proceed to tell us that these safeguards “have
stood the test of seventy-six years of trial, under
our republican system, under circumstances which
show that, while they constitute the foundation of
all free government, they are the elements of the
enduring stability of the Republic.” No one de
nies that they have so stood the test up to the be
ginning of the present rebellion, if we except a cer
tain occurrence at New Orleans; nor does any one
question that they will stand the same test much
longer after the rebellion closes. But these provi
sions of the Constitution have no application to the
case we have in hand, because the arrests complain
ed of were not made for treason defined in the Con
stitution, and upon conviction of which the punish
ment is death —not yet were they made to hold
persons to answer for any capital or otherwise infa
mous crimes ; nor were the proceedings following,
in any constitutional or legal sense, “criminal pro
secutions.” The arrests were made on totally
different grounds, and the proceedings following
accorded with the grounds of? the arrests, ;Let us
consider the real case with which we are dealing,
and apply to it the parts of the Constitution plainly
made for such cases.
Pripr to myinstallationhere, it had been incul
cated that any State had a lawful right to secede
from the national Union,, and that it would-be expe
dient to exercise the right, whenever the devotees
of the doctrine should fail to elect aiPresident to
their own liking. I was elected contrary to their
liking: and, accordingly, so far as it was legally
possible, they had taken seven States out of the
Union, had seized many of the United States forts,
and had fired upon the United Statesflag, all before
1 was inaugurated, and, of course, before I had
done, any official act whatever. The. rebellion
thus; began soon ran into the present civil war**
and, in certain respects, it began on very unequal
terms between the parties. Ihe insurgents had
been preparing for it for more than thirty vehis,
while the Government had taken no steps to 1 resist
them. The former had carefully considered all
the mean which could be turned to thur aceount.
It undoubtedly was a well-pondered reliance with
them that., in their own unrestricted efforts to
dc-trnj Union, Constitution and Law, all together,
the Government would, in great degree, be re
strained by the same Constitution and law from
arresting then progicss Their sv mpathisers per
vaded all. departments of the Government, and
nearly all communities of the people., From this
material, under cover ot “hbeity ot peed lib
erty of the press,’ and habeas corpus, hoped,
to keep on foot among us a most .< fitment corp of
spies, informers, suppliers, and aider and betto
of their cause iu> a thousand ways. They knew
that in times such as they were inaugurating by
the Constitution itself, the “habeas corpus” might
be suspended ; but.they also knew they had friends
whd would make a question asto- who was to sus
pend it; meanwhile their spies and others might
remain at large to help on their cause. Or, if, as
has happened, the Executive should suspend the
writ, without ruinous waste of time, instances of
arresting innocent persons might occur, as are al
ways likely to occur in such cases; and then a
clamor could be raised in regard to this, which
might he. at least, of some service to the insurgent
cause. It needed no very keen perception to dis
cover this part of the eoemv s programme, so soon
as, by open hostilities, then- machinery was fairly
put m motion Yet thoioughly imbued with a
reverence for the guaranteed lights of individuals
I was slow to adopt, the strong measures which
by dcgiees I have been foiced to regard as being
with n tl e exceptions of the Constitution, and as
indispensable to the public safety. Nothing, is
better known to history than that courts of
justice are utterly incompetent to such cases.
Civil courts are organized chiefly for trials, of in
dividuals, or, at most, a few individuals acting m
concert; and this m quiet times, and on charges
of crimes well defined in the law. Even in times
of pe ice bands of horse thieves and robbers fre
; quently grow too numerous and powerful for
the ordinary courts of justice. But what com
parison, m numbers, 'have such bands ever borne
to the insurgent sympathizers even m manv of
the loyal btates l Again: a jury too frequently
has at least one-member more ready to hang the
panel than to hang the traitor. And yet again,
, lie who dissuades one man from volunteering, or
induces one soldier to desert* weakens the Union
cause as. much as he who kills a Union soldier in
bittle let this dissuasion or inducement may he
so conducted as to be no defined crime of which any
cm! court would take cognizance 1
Uurs is a case ot rebellion—so called by the reso
lutions before me—in-fact, a clear, flagrant, and gi
gantic ease ot rebellion, and the provision ot the
Constitution that ; the; privilege of the writ of ha
beas corpus shall not be.suspended. unless when, m
ca<-es of rebellion or inv ision the public safety.umy
require it, is the provision which specially applies
to ooi present case This provision plainly attests
tne understanding of those who made the Oonstitu
turn, that ordinary courts of justice are inadequate
to cases of rebellion”—attests their purpose that,
m such cases, men may be held in -custody- whom
the courts, acting on ordinary rules, 'would dis
charge Habeas corpus does not discharge men
who are proved to be guilty of defined crime ; and
its suspension is allowed by the Constitution on
purpose that men may be arrested and held who
cannot be proved to he. guilty r -of, defined'crime,
“ when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public
safety may require it." This is precisely our pre
sent case—a case; of rebellion* wherein; the; public
safety does require the suspension. Indeed, arrests

most, will uc eed oi 1 d in i great length of

much 1 o ever the Con ritutaon it elf mah s
no such distinction, I am unable to believe th»t
there iy ucl constitutional distinction. 1 con
cede that the class of arrests complained of cn be
constitutional only when, m cases of rebellion o'-
invasion, the, public safety may require them: and
I insist that in siieh cases they are constitution"!
■ wherever the public' safety docs require themas
well in places to which they n > prev nt the rebel
lion extending as in those where it may be already
prevailing; as well where they may restrain mis
chievous interference with the, raising and
ing df armies to ' suppress the rebellion,' as where
the rebellion may actually be; as well where they
may restrain the enticing men out of the army, as
where they would prevent mutiny in the army; 1
equally constitutional at all places where they will
conduce rebellion or invasion. Take the particular
ease mentioned by the meeting. It is asserted, in
substance, that Mr. Yallandignam was, by a mili
tary commander, seized and tried “for no other
reason than words addressed to a public meeting,,
in criticism*of the course of the Administration,
and in condemnation ot the military orders of the
General. Now, if there be no mistake about
this; if this assertion is the truth and the whole .
truth if there was no other reason for the arrest, :
then I concede that the arrest was wrong. But
the arrest, as I understand, was made for a very
different reasons. Mr. Yallandigham . avows his
hostility to the war on the part of the Union; and
his arrest was made because he was laboring,
with some effect, to prevent the raising of troops;
to encourage desertions from the army; ana to
leave the rebellion without an adequate military
force to suppress it He was not arrested because
he was damaging the political prospects of the
Administration, of the .personal interests ,of the
commanding general, but because he was damag
ing the army, upon the existence and vigor of
which the life oi the nation depends. He was
warring upon the militarjr, and this-gave the mil
itary constitutional jurisdiction to lay hands .upon
him. If Mr. Vallandigham Was not damaging
the military power of the country, then his .arrest
was made on mistake of fact, which I would be
glad to correct on reasonably satisfactory evidence.
I understand the meeting, .whose resolutions I
am considering, to be infayor.of suppressing the
rebellion By military forcd—by' armies. Long
experience has shown that armies cannot be main
tained unless desertions shall be punished by the
severe penalty of death- . The case requires, and
the hi# and the Constitution sanction, this
ment. .Must I shoot a simple minded soldier-boy
who deserts, while ,1 jnust : not touch a hair of a
wily agitator who induce^;him to desert? shis
is not the less injurious When effected by getting 1
a father, or brother or friend, into a public meet
ing, and there working upon his feelings till he is
persuaded to write tne sojc!ier-boy that he is fight
ing in a bad cause, for a wicked Administration of
a,., contemptible .Government, too weak to arrest
and punish'hint if be sKall desert. I think that in
sueh a base to silence the : agitator : and save the
boy is, not only constitutional, .but withal a great
mercy. , : ‘ i
If I be wrong on this qbestion of constitutional
power, my error lies in bejievwg that ceitain pro
ceedings are constitutional when, m cases or re
bellion or invasion, the public safety requires
them, which would not be constitutional when,
in the absence of; rebellion or,invasion, the public
safety does not require: them; m other words, that
the Constitution is not, in its application, in all
respects the same, m cases of rebellion or invasion
involving the public safety,as it is in- time of
profound peace and public security The Consti
tution'itself makes the distinction ; and I can n 6
more be persuaded that the Government can con
stitutionally tako no: ’Strong measures m time of
rebellion, because it can ,be shown that the same
could not be lawfully taken m time of peace than
I Lan be persuaded that a particular drug is not
good medicine for a sick man, because it can be
shown not to be good food for a well one. Nor
am I able to appreciate the danger appiehended
by the meeting that the American people will, by
means of, military arrests during the rebellion.
lo«e the light of public discussion, the liberty of
speech and the: press,- the law pf evidence, trial
by jury, and habeas corpus, throughout the in
definite peaceful future which I trust lies before
them, any more' than I am able to believe that a
man could contract -so strong an appetite- for
emetics during temporary illness as to per ist in
feeding upon them during the remainder of hri
healthful life. 1 >■ "
In giving the resolutions that earnest consideia
tion which you request of me, I cannotoverlook the
1 ict that the meeting speak as “Democrats
i Nor can I. with tull respect for their known intelli
gence- and the fairly pre un ed deliberation with
I which thev prepared then resolutions be permitted
|to suppose that this occurred,by accident, or many
rway other than that they preferred to designate
i themselves “ Democrats nthei than American
| citizens. " In this time of national peril, I would
' have'preferred to meet you upon a level one step
higher than any party platfoim, because lam sme
[ that from such more elevated position we could do
i better battle for the country we all love than we
i possibly can from those lower ones where, from the
| force of habit, the preiudices of the past, and selfish
I bopes of the future, we are sure to expend much of
l our ingenuity and strength in finding fault with,
I and aiming blows at. each other. But, since you
i have denied me this. I will yet he thankful, for
the countrj s «ake that not all Democrats have
i done so. He on whose discretionary judgment
i JVIr-' Vallandigham was arrested and tried is a
Democrat, having no old party affinity with me,
and the judge who rejected the constitutional view
expressed in these- resolutions, by refusing to dis
charge Mr Vallandigham on habeas corpus is a
Democrat, of better 1 days than 1 these,; having re
ceived his judicial mantle at the hands of Presi
dent Jackson. And. still more, of all those Demo
crats who are nobly; exposing, their lives and.
shedding their - blood on the battle-field,-1 have
learned that many approve the course taken with
Mr- Vallandigham. while I have not heard ot a
single one condemning it. I cannot assert that
theic are none such And the r ame of President
Jackson recalls an instance of percent history,;.
After-the battle of New Orleans, and while
the fact that the treaty of peace had been
concluded, was well kqown in the. city, but
before official knowledge of- it had -arrived,•
Gen. Jackson still maintained martial or military
law- Now that-it could be said the war was
over: the clamor against- martial law, which had
existed from'the first, grew more furious. Among
other things, a Mr: Xiotnallier-published a denun
ciator newspaper article Gen Jackson arre ted
him. A lawyer bv the name of Morel procured
the United States Judge Hall to issue a writ, of
habeas corpus to relieve Mr. Louialher. General
Jackson arrested both the lawyer and the judge,
A Mr. Hollander ventured to say of Borne part of
the matter that tt was a duty tuck General
Jackson arrested him. When the officer under
took to serve the writ of habeas corpus. General
Jackson took it from him. and sent him away with
a copy. Holding the judge in custody a few
davs. the General sent hiyi beyond the limits of■
his encampment, and set him at liberty, with an
order to remain till the,ratification of peace should
be regularly announced, or until the British
should, have left the Southern coast., A day or
two more elapsed! the ratification: of a treaty,of
ppace was regularly announced, and the judge
and others were fully liberaied. A- few days;
more, and the; judge called General Jackson into
court and fined him- $lOOO for having arrested
him and. the others named. The General- paid
the fine, and there the matter rested for nearly
thirty years, when Congress refunded principal
and interest. The late Senator Douglas, then in
the House of Representatives, took a leading part
in the debates in which the constitutional ques
tion was much discussed. I am not prepared to
say whom the journals would show to have voted
for the measure.
It may be remarked: First, that we had ..the
same Constitution then as now; secondly, that we
then had a ease of invasion, and now we have
a case of rebellion; and, thirdly,, that the .perma
nent.right of the People- to Public Diseussion. the
Liberty of Speech and of the Press, the Trial by
Jury, the Law of .Evidence, and the Habeas Cor
pus, suffered no detriment whatever by that con
duce of Gen.-Jackson, or its subsequent approval
by the American Congress.
And yet, let nje say that, in my own discretion;
I do not know whether I would have ordered the
arrestof Mr. Vallandigham. While I cannot shift
the responsibility from myself, I hold that, as a
general rule, the commander in the field is the bet
ter judge of the necessity in any particular case.
Of course I must practice-a general directory and
revisory power in the matter.
One ot the resolutions expresses the opinion of
the meeting that arbitrary arrests will have the
effect to divide and distract those who should be
united m suppressing the rebellion, and I am specie
filly c lied on to discharge Mr. Vallandigham. I
regard this as at least a fair appeal, to me on the
expediency of exercising a constitutional, power
which I think exists. In response to such appeal,
1 have ,to say it gave me pain when I learned that
Mr. Vallandigham had been arrested—that is, I
was pained that there should have seemedto be a ne
cessary for arresting him —and that it will afford me
gie t pie ure to discharge him so soon as I can,-by
any means.-believe, thje public safety.;,will i not: suffer
b t I lurthcr say that, as the war progresses,- it
ppo t me. opinion and action, which were in
great confusion at first, take shape, and fall into
moie re" lar channels, so > time the necessity, for:
strong dealing with them gradually, decreases. I
have every reason to desire that: it should cease
altogether : and far from the least is my regard .for
the opinions and wishes pf those who, like the
meeting at Albany, declare their purpose to sustain
the. Government in every constitutional and lawful
measure to suppress the rebellion. . Still, I must
continue to do so much as may seem to be required
by the public safety. A. Lincoln.
The Budhists of Ceylon are forming village
associations for the defence of their system,
and the annoyance of those who continue to
profess Christianity. Two meetings have
been held in Galle, in relation to questions
arising from this contest, at which there was
much unfairness upon the part, of the -hea
then. In one of the courts of justice, some
professing Christians have been fined for a
foolish assatilt upon the priests. The warfare
is conducted with vigor by both parties, by
means of the press; on the one side the ar
guments are overwhelming, and on the other
the abuse. But the defenders; of the truth
are confident of victory, and. rejoice in the
evidences thus presented, that-the other side
of the cause is supposed to be in danger.
f, peculiar taintor int'ec- •
which we call Scrof-,

fluced by an enfeebled,
lated state of the blood,
irein that fluid becomes
ibhipfetent to sustain the

ion, imdileayes the sys
to fall into disorder :
decay. The scrofulous'
ltamination is variously
lused by mercurial dis
, ... jiiving, . .‘red digestion i'rpm un
healthy food, impure air, filth and,filthy habits,
the depressing vices, and, above ally hy ihje vene
real infectiori. Whatever be .its origin, itis hered
itary in the constitution, descending “ from parents .
to children unto the third and fourth generation; ” V
indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, “ I '
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their
children.” 'The diseases it originates take vhridus
names, according'to the organs it attacks. In the ;,
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally
Consumption; in the glands, swellings which sup
purate and become ulcerous sores; in. the stomach ;
and .bowels, derangements which product indi
gestion, dyspepsia, ant liver complaints; on the ,
skin, eruptive and. cutaneous affections. These, ,
all having the same origin, require "the same i-ernr
edy, viz., purification and inyigoration of the
blood. Purify tlie‘T)lood| and these dangerous dis
tempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted ’;
blood, you cannot have health; with that “life of
the flesh” healthy, you' cannot have scrofulous 1

is compounded frbm the most effectual antidotes
that medical'science lias discovered for this afflict-' }
ing distemper, 1 and : for thetiure of the disorders it !
entails. • That it is far: superior to any ■ other
remedy yet devised, is known by all who have ;
given it.a trial. That it does combine virtues truly
extraordinary in,their effect upon this class of ,
complaints, is indisputably prpyen by‘the great' :
multitude of publicly known anil remarkable cures ' * ;
; it has made of the' following diseases: King’S 1 * •
