COME, RUSH TO THts RESCUE,
BY DATIT> PAUL BROWN,
Come, rush to the rescue! the Union’s in danger!
The rebels and traitors arc thirsting for blood! -
The* homo of bur youth is the spoil of the stranger,
And carnage exults.where our alters once stood.
Then rush to the rescue! arouse from your slumbers!
Tin; shadesof your lathers appeal for.your aid;
Let the traitors advance with their rash levied numbers—
True patriots and freemen are never dismayed.
The foe is before us: march onward to greet them;
Let them boast as they may, they but dig their own
graves^
The brave and the just are still eager to.meet.them.
And tench them tho (liilereiicc‘twist freemen ami slaves.
Let them scourge their poor bondsmen and talk of their
glory— ; v '
Inhuman, remorseless, conceited and vain! - - '
When they grapple with heroes, ihoy'll soon learn the
story
That themselves aretho objects of scorn and disdain!
Come oni then, your tattered palmetto displaying.
Your golden pretensions will soon change to brass;
We know' that your roaring is nothing but braying;
That the skin of the lion disguises che ass.
You have palsied the arm often j-aiaod to defend you—
Invaded the Union you've sw4»rn to maintain;
You’ve outraged tho laws that were made to befriend you.
And wounded the bosom that yearned to sustain.
What, then, are the evils.that move your displeasure? .
What plea Can you ur£e for this fratricide strife?
Have we captpred your forU? Have wo squandered your
.treasure?
Have we plotted your death, or embittered your life? -
Oh! search your dark thoughts ! and you’ll find that the
- spirit
Of haired, pevcnge.-low.ambition and pride
Impels you to sacrifice i-ll you iuherit—
All your brave sires lived for.'n£id fur which they died'

AN EXAMPLE FOR LANDLORDS.
TO' WHICH IS APPENDED SOME EXCELLENT AD
VICE TO HCBBANDS AND IAIIIEP.S.
BY 3XCS. E. B. DO’FEY.
. “ Well Mary,” said Mr Early to his
wife, as he camc in one cold blustering aff
ternoon in; last 'December, and drew near
the ruddy coal fire ; well Mary," not such
a bad day inthe way of business after-all.’:'
and he threw off Kis snow sprinkled over
coat, laying it down on‘ : looking
lounge his wife had drawn before the fire
for his own accommodation, while the
snowy particles fell itra shower Over the
warm cushion. ■
“ How, John?” replied his wife, as she
looked up with 1 a : cheery smile.
“ This is rent-day, you know, and collec
ting rent is not always a prosperous busi
ness. It’s like pulling a tooth to get mon
ey from some people. Now there’s ola
Ruggles, he gives the money as grudging-
as though he wasn’t able to pay three
times the amount, which I know ho is.—
And Joe I suppose he did have a
hard time to raise it, but he made quite as x
hard a job of paying it.”
“ 0 never mind, husband, I hope you
weren’t hard on him;'work is dull, you
know, and money difficult to get.” ;
“ I acknowledge the truth .of the con
cluding portion of your remark; money is
difficult to get, Oven when it is honestly
due; and so I found it to-day' But I suc
ceeded tolbyably,after all. Even the wid
ow Webb; paid |o the last cent and that
was more than ! hoped for.
“ Oh, John?” said bis wife in a depre
catory tone. - j _
Mr. Early seemed to wince a little un
der the implied Reproof, and so said, appa
rently in self-justification. ;
“ Why Mary, you know business is bus
iness, and why shouldn’t she pay her rent
as well as any person else?
Now, Mr Early was not, by any means,
naturally a hard hearted man. Yet for
tune had .placed? him in the position of
landlord; and between tenants that couldn’t
pay, and tenants that wouldn’t pay, he had
filially teen drilled into an outward seem*
ing of hardness. ■ Whenever he anticipa
ted an uncommon difficulty in the dis
charge of Lis duties, he repeated to him
self the old maxiin that “ business is busi
ness,” and thrnt steeled himsolf to his
task. ■
Yet his wife knew that within this tough
ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1861
shell, there was a soft kernel of a heart,
for she had more than once found it; and
so, after a short time of silence and reflec
tion on her part, she resolved to try if she
could not reach it again.
“ John,” said she, “ how much was her
rent?”
“ Boh! nothing; don’t trouble yourself
about that. Why it wasn’t as much as
.that last new silk of yours cost, and you
know you teased me into buying that, say
ing the sum was such a trifle.
“Well how much was it?” persisted
Mrs Early. :
“ If you must know, the quarters rent
amounted to fifteen dollars; and she paid
it too, without a word of grumbling.”
“It is a small sum to you and to me, I
know; but do you not think she must have
struggled hard to raise it?
“ Business is business, you know, and
it is not in my way to think how the'inou
ey is raised, so that it is raised.”
“Oh, John!” again repeated his wife.
There was a kind of magic in these words.
They possessed a power over him which
she was not a warp of, and he felt.
“Well, never mind Mary, don't trouble
yourself about it. It's all over now and
can't be helped. Only if you say so I
won’t be quite so hard next time.”
“I do say so John,” said she, rising
with a woman-like instinct,-and seating
herself beside him, feeling that if she
wished to gain her point (and she had, in
the few moments of reflection, resolved
upon one,) she must make use of a wife’s
best arguments.
“ There,” said sho, as she wound her
fingers caressingly in his hair. “I know
you didn’t mean to be exacting, but you
were so, after all. I heard only a day or
two ago, that Mrs Webb and her daughter
had had a hard time to get along this fall.
Their only dependence for support is their
needle, and you know that is a very slen
der one. Now they have both overworked
themselves to raise this very money that
you have received to-day, and Kate has
been sick, and fears are entertained that
she will go into a decline.” ' ;
“So bad as that! I did not? know it.”
“ I know you didn’t. For I am sure
you have too good a heart to drive a poor
.girl into her grave, and leave a widowed
mother friendless and alone in the world,
just for the sake of a few dollars, which
you would never miss if you did not have.
Now do you not think you ought to make
amends in some way for your thoughtless
act of'cruelty?”
“ Why yes, if I only knew how. If
you choose you can take the money back
again, and tell them I wouldn’t havd been
in such a hurry about the rent, if I had
known just how the case stood.
- “Well, give it to me. My! how full
jour pocket-book is!” she exclaimed in af
fected wonder, as he unrolled the ponder
ous portefucillc, stuffed and crammed with
notes and silver. “ Thank you. But so
long as you have your money out, you
may as well give me a little more at once;
it will save me the trouble of asking; you
again. There don’t scowl so. It’s only a
trifle I want. Not so much as those furs
will cost that you are going to buy me for
a Christmas present.”'
“ Furs ! Whew! I hadn’t heard of them
before!” :
“ Oh I know ypu havn’t yet,” she re
plied coaxingly, “ but you will between
now and Christmas—unless you give me
what money I want now. Let me see; the
furs you are going to buy me .will cost
seventy-five dollars; but I’ll let you off
until next winter if you will give mo"Uhl
don’t stare so —thirty-live dollars now.”
“ Thirty-five dollars ! what in ”
“Never mind the exclamations now,”
said ,she, with a roguish smile, laying her
hand (and a pretty one it was too) over
his mouth. “ Count out the money first
and I’ll give you leave to express your as
tonishment afterwards.”
“Tell me first what you want it for,”
said Hr.. Early as soon as his speech was
restored to, him, taking advantage of a
husband’s prerogative,, a right established
by precedent at least, of questioning in
such matters. ,
“ Tell you what I want it for ? Oh of
course I wifi. lam going,to invest it for
you. It will bring you in a hundred per
cent., and more too, just as long as Mrs.
Webb is a tenant ofyours.”
~ “How—what do you mean ?”
“ Why, don’t you see, there’s two tens
there in that roll, and plenty of fives ?”
holding out the same pretty hand that had
so unceremoniously dammed up., the river
of speech flowing from her husband’s
mouth but a moment bgfbre—only thirty
five dollars, you know, which, with the
fifteen I’ve got, will make fifty in all;
and l am goiqg to provide Mrs. Webb and
Catharine tlio means of paying their rent
easily every quarter, as soon as it is due..
To be serious—l have told you that they
depend'on sewing for a now
that sewing-machines have thrown seam

it is very hard for two poor women with
delicate health, to scrape together sixty
dollars every year to pay their rent-yith,
and provide themselves the pccessaiies of
life besides—so lam going to buy them
such an article as that,” said she, pointing
tp a splendid sewing-machine that made a
[independent in evektxhinq.]
•onspicuous article of room furniture—
“which'some kind friend—(not you, of
course; was it really you, though? I
never suspected anything half so sensible
of me last New Year, and a
more acceptable present ! never received;
and somebody never did and never will
make a better investment of his money
than that—unless he thinks fit to give me
the thirty-five dollars I want now. Don’t
you see, how with that in the house, I
have already saved you : more than it cost,
and I still have found plenty of time to
fold my hands besides ? And with such
a machine, Mrs. Webb and Kate could
soon make themselves comparatively inde
pendent.”
“ Well, well, Mary, when a man is de
feated by his own wife, he doesn’t exactly
like, for his dignity’s sake to acknowledge
it. It’s equivalent to letting her wear the
—you know what.”
“Oh ! never mind your dignity. I was
never particularly impressed by it; and
as for wearing the articles of which you
speak, any smart wife manages to do that
anyhow, just as I do now when you give
me that—ten and ten are twenty, and five
are twenty-five, and ten are thirty-five,
and fifteen I have already makes fifty.—
That’s all right, and' jou are a dear good
husband.
The pretty, delicate hand closed over
the coveted treasure, and the full, rosy
lips performed their appropriate office,
and it was hard to tell which seemed to
be best satisfied—husband or wife.
Before many days went by, there was a
joyful surprise at the unpretending dwel
ling of the Widow Webb and her daugh
ter. Catharine, a delicate girl of eighteen
or thereabouts, seemed.pale and emaciated
Irom recent illness, but at the sight of the
splendid Wheeler & Wilson sewing-ma
chine —that at-first she could not believe
but had been loft there by mistake, until
she had re-read more than once the accom
panying card, with her own name in full
and the number of her residence upon it—
the blood danced joyfully from her heart
up to her cheeks, and tingled in her very
finger-ends at the prospect of better days
in store for them.
At first they could obtain no clue to
their kind" benefactors ; but the truth fi
nally leaked out. And if ever gratitude
swelled the hearts of human beings, it did
theirs towards their landlord, whom they
had hitherto considered so harsh and un
relenting, and to his pretty, kind-hearted
wife. '
When next rent-day came, Mr. Early
had not to call upon Mrs. Webb for bis
money. It was promptly brought to him,
and was paid so cheerfully , that he jocosely
remarked to his wife that he had half a
mind to try the effect of a “Wheeler &
Wilson” on each of his tenants, to see if
it would have an equally good effect. —
“ Only, Othello-like,” said he, “ I should
find my occupation gone, and would have
nothing to do but sit over the firg—”
“And make love to me,” interposed his
wife.
“And wait for the money to come to
me,” contined Mr. Early, “ while I lose
my pusiness habits entirely.” —Catholic

THE FIBIKttAT FOBTS CLABK
AND HATTEBA3..
From a graphic and thrilling account
of tho Fort Hatteraa bombardment, we
quote as follows
At 10 o’clock thp. Wabash fired the first
gUn, the eleven-inch shell striking near
the battery, and bursting with tremendous
force. The battery, which was of sand,
covered with turf, and mounting five long
thirty-two’s, instantly returned the fire,
but the shot fell short, j The Minnesota”
and immediately opened
and rained nine and eleven-inch shells in
and about it. The fife was terrific, and
soon the battery’s responses were few and
far between, save; when tho frigates sus
pended fire to get a new position'; and then
the enemy’s fire was most spirited. No
damage was sustained by our ships, and
when they again; took their position the
cannonading was intensely hot, the shells
dropping in the enemy’s works, or fulling
on the ramparts, exploding in death-deal
ing fragments and carrying death and de
struction with them. The small wooden
structures about the forts were torn and
perforated with flying shells.
At 11 o’clock the immense flag-staff was
shot away, and tliq rebel flag came down,
but their fire was still continued. At 12
o clock the Susquehanna steamed in, and,
dropping her boats astern, opened an ef
fective fire. The : cannonading on our
part was incessant, and the air was alive
with the hum and explosion of flying
shells; but the enemy did not return the
fire with any regularity, the battery being
too hot for them, from the explosion of
shells that dropped at the rate of above
half a dozen a minute.
The enemy ceased firing a little before i
two, and, after a few more shells had been ■
thrown in) the Commodore signalized to !
cease firing. The troops had meantime i
advanced ’to within a short distance of the :
fort, and, before we ceased firing some of ;
our men got in and raised the Stars and
Stripes. The place was too hot for the
men, but the flag.was;left waving. Cox
swain Benjamin Sweares, of the Pawnee’s :
first cutter, stood for some time on the ■
ramparts waving the flag amid a flight of
shells. When the fifing ceased,' the fort
was occupied in force, and held afterwards.
• The. “ Monticello” had proceeded ahead
of the land force, to protect them, and
had reached the inlet,; when a large fort,
of an octagon shape, to the rear and right
of the small battery, Counting ten thirty
twos and four eight-inch gnns, which had
til! then been; silent, opened on her with
eight guns, at short range. At the same
instant she got agrofind and stuck fast,
the enemy pouring in a fire hot and heavy,
to which the “ Monticello” replied sharply
with shell. For fifty minutes she held, her
own, and finally getting off the ground she
came out, having been shot through and
through by seven eight-inch shell, one
going below the water-line. She fired
fifty-five shell ip fifty minutes, and par
tial ly silenced the battery. At dusk she
withdrew for repairs, with one or two men
slightly bruised, bat hone killed or other
wise injured.
The escape of the vessel and crew was
miraculous. Until this time supposed
the day was ours, hut the unexpected
opening of the large battery rather changed
the aspect of affairs. Things did not look
cheerful at dark. We had men ashore
who were probably in need of provisions,
and in case of a night attack no assistance
could be sent them from the “ Harriet
Lane.” As we lay close in shore we saw
the bright 'bivouac-fires on the beach,
with groups of men about them. The
night passed without air alarm, the enemy,
as we have since learned, lying on their
arms all night, expecting an attack.
At early daybreak on Thursday the
men went to quarters in the fleet, and at
a quarter past eight, the vessels having
borne down nearet than the previous day’s
position, the action began, the “Susque
hanna” opening the day’s work by a shell
from one of the eleven-inch guns. The
“Minnesota” and “Wabash” joined in
immediately, and again! the hum’of shell
and their explosion Were heard. They
fired nearly half an hoiir before the bat
tery responded, when it answered briskly.
Our fire was mor<W correct than on the
previous day. The range had been ob
tained, and nearly; every shot went into
the battery, throwing; up blonds of sand
and exploding with terrific effect.
At twenty-five! minutes past ten the
“ Harriet Lane”- opened fire, and soon
after the “ Cumbcrland”jMunc in from tile
offing and joined id the attack. The
“ Harriet Lane,” with her rifled guns, did
good execution—several projectiles from
the eight inch shell going into the battery
and one going directly through the ram
parts. The fire was so hot that all of the
enemy that could ’do so got into, a bomb
proof in the middle of the battery.
Finally, at five minutes past eleven, A.
M., an eleven-inch shell having pierced
the bqmb-prool throdgh a ventilator and
exploded inside, near, the magazine, the
enemy gave pip the fight and raised over
the white flag. We immedi
ately ceased firing. Gen. Butler’ went
{into the Inlet and landed at the fort and
t demanded an unconditional surrender. -
EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
Chui Bents —A good story is toki in
Chicago about rents. A party leased a
fine house to a merchant in good business
at $1,200 a year. The panic and war
came on. Tenant informs landlord ho
cannot pay snoh a rent. “ What can yott
afiord to pay ?” “Not over half that
sum.?’ “Very well you shall have it for
$600.” Towards the end of the quarter,
tenant informs the landlord that ho cannot
pay that. “ "What can you pay now
“ Nothing, I am doing no business.”—
“Very well, I want my house taken cara
of; and you may stay without tent.” A
short time after, in passing by the house,
ho found the tenant moving his furniture
and asked what that was for ? “ Why
you don’t think I am such a fool as to stay
in that house, when I found a much bet
ter one for nothing.
Congressman Ely. —Tho Richmond
correspondent of tho Mobile iVetes sends
the following to that paper: -
One old rascal here, Ely, has the im
pudence to send his cards out tosome if
our Congressmen and others, whom ho
used to know in better days, and to re
quest them to visit him; but I believe
they do not know his honor at this time !
This fellow stepped up to a gentleman
who visited the prison the "other day, and
put out his hand for a friendly grasp and
recognition, but he was disappointed. “ I
knew you once, sir; but I do not know
you now, nor recognise you as a gentle
man.”
Unmarried Ladies, —Tho single state
is no diminution of tho beauties and the
utilities of the female character; on the
contrary; our present life would lose many
of tho comforts, and much likewise, of
what is absolutely essential to the well
being of every part of society, and even
of the private home, without the unmar
ried female. The single woman is as
important an element of social and private
happingss as the married woman. The
utilities of each are different; hut it is
vulgar nonsense, unworthy of manly feel
ing and discreditable to every just one,, to
depreciate the unmarried condition.
