A PRAYER FOR PEACE Give us peace in our time, 0 Lord, From the desolating sword, Fr. .m the devastating fire— From wicked men's desire! Passionate, senseless, proud, The teachers of the crowd Disturb the sorrowful air, Crying Strike ! and do not spare !' The preachers of Thy word, Untrue to the trust conferred, Defile Thy temple gate With the blasphemies of hate. The eyes of our young men glow As the wild war trumpets blow, And their hands deep crimson rain With the blood of their brethren slain " More blood!" the old men urge, As the tides of battle surge{. 'Tis sweet for our country to die, "More blood !"—the women cry. And they go, the brave and strong, For a right that may be wrong, To feed the greedy tomb With their beauty and their bloom ; To redden the rolling flood, To (e'en the earth with blood, And poison the air's pure breath With the charnel reek of death! From the mountains to the sea, Floats up, 0 Lord, to Thee— To the footstool of Thy throne, Tho long, low, trembling moan— Of aiohildless multitude, Tender, and fair, and good; or mothers forlorri—i-furlorn, Who weep for their early born— And of widows forlorn as they Whose hope, whose prop, whose stay Lie low in the shallow grave Of the unforgotten brave. Give us peace, 0 Lord, in our time, From all this wrong and crime; From all thin sorrow and shame— Peace peace ! in Thy holy name ! For the sake of the perishing realm That our passions overwhelm; For the sotto of the outraged laws, And of Liberty's sacred cause— Stay, stay Thy lifted hand On our decimated land ! Hold back the avenging rod ! Peace! peace ! 0 Lord, our God ! THOMAS SEYMOUR When freedom rung her first appeal For trampled truth, it found him A champion for the common weal, With honor's arm round him ; And like the Roman sage and bold, He's found where danger rages— Peer of the classic names of old That ring through all the ages. What though destruction sweep the land, Nor may his efforts save her, Still there are truths, however banned, That men must hold forever. Ay,.though corruption like a flood May surge our mountains over, , Though we should wade as deep in blood, Those rights we must recover. traitors make the land a stiike, In waging war for niggers, Oar shaft a loftier aim must take, qiainst clans and penal rigors ; Though every rood of every State, Where now destruction gathers, Should go, we must emancipate The Charter of the Fathers. Nor longer rave, like whining dupes, But seize time as it posses, Nor talk like bibbers o'er their cups, But stern, in ordered masses, Leave plaint and sentimental staves, And fancy, to the dreamer, Leave tyrant chains to willing slaves, And act Iike—THOMAS SErmona. [Metropolitan Record A MUSTARD POULTICE AND ITS CONSE QUENCES.—The following story, whieh we do not remember to have seen in print, is now circulating on Change. It may be old, but is received as new and true. At a famous watering place, within the mem ory of man, a gentleman was severely af flicted with a pain in the stomach, which neither gin cocktails nor other cordials could remove. It was night, and he was in bed. His loving wife, unwilling to ' wake the domestics descended to the kitchen, and prepared a mustard poultice, which she spread on her own handkerchief, =and proceeded with it to her distressed lord. Before leaving him, she left a light dimly burning in his apartment ; but deeply impressed with anxiety, she was not as careful as she might have been in noting the number of her room. Guided by a light which she saw shining in a chamber, and which she supposed was the ono she had left, she entered, and gen tly raising the bed-clothes, etc., laid the warm poultice upon a stomach, but not the stomach of her lord Hallo, there ! What the are you about V shouted a voice of thunder, and the body and sleeves, whence it issued, sprang out of bed. The lady screamed and ran ; her hus band rushed to the rescue from the next room ; the waiters joined, and a small scene ensued— much to the amusement of all concerned. The poulticed gentleman had indiscreetly left a light in" his room, and this lured the lady from her path. Her husband was so amused and excited by the mistake that he quite forgot his pains, but early next morning, with his wife and trunks, left for parts unknown. The poulticed man still retains the hand kerchief—a beautiful cambric, with the lady's name on it—which he considers of rare value.-7raveller. A sailor was called upon the stand as a witness.

DAWSON, In reply to Mr. Moorhead, of Pa., dn Congress, .aril 29, 1864. Mr. Dawson. Mr. Speaker this is the earliest moment that I have been able to get the floor, to say that the gentleman who represents the district of Pittsburg [Mr. Moorhead] has seen proper to make my speech of the 24th of February the subject of one delivered by himself on the 26th ultimo. I regret that I cannot char acterize the gentleman's effort as an argu ment. There is, indeed, very little in it that rises to that level s I had scarcely supposed it necessary to notice it on this floor. It is profuse in denunciations of disloyalty and of alleged sympathizers with the rebellion. They constitute, in deed, the staple of his speech. While to me he disavows any intention of giving them a personal bearing, yet by implica tion they are regarded ,as personal, and his friends, at least, have made the appli cation. In his opening remark, in the declara tion that I had stated with great frankness and clearness the grounds of my opposi tion to the war, he has been guilty of a gross mistatement. In common with the party with which I have the honor to act, from its first outbreak I accepted the war as a necessity, and, while I have fearless ly condemned the policy which governs it, have never hesitated-to support it within what i deemed the constitutional limits. The Democratic party have acted through out these trying troubles with a magna nimity and greatness of purpose that no other political organization ever exhibited. They did try to avoid the war. War is the greatest of all national misfortunes ; a civil war is the worst of wars, and this promised to be the most gigantic of civil wars. They opposed abolitionism because they knew it would bring war and desola tion in its train. They tried their utmost to bring all difficulties between the North and the South to a peaceful and an honor able settlement ; and they failed not for want of will but want of power. , When the war came, when die vindictive stub bornness of abolitionists and secessionists left no choice bat support of the Govern ment by arms or submiskion to a rupture of the Union, the Democracy offered their blood and money for the Union freely, without stint, without reservation, without measure. All they asked in return was that the party in power should conduct it honestly and fairly, for the purpose of re storing the Union and saving the Consti tution. My colleague falls readily into the trite and well-worn style of reply which his party leaders have taught him. If any Democrat objects to an act of the Admin istration, he raises the cry of disloyalty, and insists that we should employ our time solely in denouncing secession. If we see the money of ,the nation squan dered, the Constitution trampled upon, -Lire laws disregarded, public liberty endanger ed, the right of suffrage taken away, the freedom of speech and of the press re stricted and punished, the Union for which we are bleeding laughed at as a thing of the past, we must, according to my col leagu's code of political morals, find no fault with those who /o those wrongs, ask for no reform, seek no change. The re spect I have for my colleague forbids me to say that this is the mere twaddle of the demagogue. Such abject submission is only fit for a slave, wholly unfit for a free man. • He pronounces a eulogy upon General Cass. That great old man will be filled with grief if he hears that an avowed and open abolitionist has spoken of him in such terms. It was heartless cruelty to. vex the evening of that venerable patriot's life by praise which implies that his whole public career has been a false one. What has General Case done to deserve such a eulogy from him ? He claims the right to speak of him because " he and I once and again, but vainly, labored " to make him President. It is true that while my col league professed to be a Democrat ho also professed to be a Cass man. After the battle of Buena Vista, however, he de serted his friend Cap and went over to General Taylor. The Whigs of that day were not willing that " Rough and Ready" should be so unceremoniously appropri ated, and my colleague early in 1848 came back to General Cass with professions of loud devotion, quite as loud as they are now for Abraham Lincoln. After the October elections of that year which indi cated that General Taylor was to be the lucky candidate, my colleague's zeal sud denly evaporated, and at the presidential election which followed he failed to vote for General Cass: My colleague has repeated what he al leges was said to him by General Case. It is not in good taste, nor is it by any means a safe pi actice, to repeat private conversa tions. The old-fashioned notions of society which regulated intercourse between well bred people always discountenanced the practice. I know my colleague with a manly bearing condemned the Stone breakers for their private revelations in the memorable contest, in 1838, when tied and I joined hands:for the elevation of David R. Porter to the chief magistracy I of Pennsylvania. Bat having assumed the responsibility to repeat, he has no right to report him in a way which would make the General seem falke to the faith of his fathers. I tell my', colleague that that great man for more than twenty years had warned the country that the Union would be destroyed if a sectional President should be elected upon a platform which ignored the Constitution.- After the elec tions of 1860 had shown that all his efforts to avoid such a result had failed, well might we have said, "We are lost and destroyed." And my colleague quotes the language in which the patriot mourned over the triumph of abolitionism as evi dence that the patriot himself - was an apostate to the unsullied record and noble example of his life., If . the retirement of General Cass from office in the winter of 1861 be construed as just condemnation, how shall we con strue that of `Mr. Holt, who remained it. his palace as Secretary of War until the 4th of March, and gave his most earnest support to the Buchanan Administration, and at the close of it expresseu.l4 most oordiaLapprobation of all the Presiaent liad,,ckne, as well as , all he had forborne to do.—.ln his letter of-the .12nd Marc/11;- 1861, filed in the: Ate , Periartznent, fer signing-the'offiaci - W§Otetatt of - W*Sat the 0°04'40/5kP44144i/A4/ lk tetide; i attestation Cl'63 .

Mr. bolt has the confidence sof President Lincoln, and holds by his appointmeneat this time the responsible office of Judge Advocate General. General Dix, Secretary of the Treasury in the Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan, now a major general in the Army, ap pointed by Mr. Lincoln, in his address on retiring from the Cabinet and referring to Mr. Buchanan, declared himself , g im pressed with the purity of his motives, his conscientiousness, his thorough acquain tance with the business of the Government in its most complex details, and his anxious desire that the unhappy questions which distract the country may have a peaceful solution." not uncommon in struggles like. the pre sent, when the country is in the throes of revolution. The tenor of his speech is the same which pervades a thousand speeches since these troubles commenced.. Notwith standing the evils which civil wars bring to the masses, there are always some dashing patriots who scout the magnitude of the trouble, and flourish in the general ruin, like the storm bit d which careers in the tempest which is devastating the fosse of nature. Those parties are ever ready to impeach such as have the courage to ex pose corrlffitTiOn, and labor in a spirit of true patriotism for the welfare of their country. My colleague would like to make the country believe that he is especially devo ted to the preservation of the Union, and to the prosecution of the war for that end. How sincere he is in his professions ap pears from his course on the following res olutions, which I had the honor to intro duce on the 18th day of January last: " Whereas a great civil war like that which now afflicts the United States is the moat grievous of all national calamities, producing, as it does, spoliation, bloodshed, anarohy, public debt, official corruption, and private immorality; and whereas the Amerioan Government cannot rightfully wage such a war upon any portion of its people except for the sole purpose of vindicating the Constitution and laws and resto ring both to their just supremacy ; and whereas this House, on the 22d day of July, 1861, speaking in the name of the American people, in the face of the world, solemnly and truly declared that it was waged for no purpose of conquest or oppression, but solely to restore the Union with all the rights of the peo ple and of the States unimpaired ; and whereas in every war, especially in every war of invasion, and most particularly if it be a civil war between por tions of the same country, the object of it ought to be clearly defined, and the terms distinctly stated upon which hostilities will cease, and the advancing armies of the Government should carry the Consti tution and laws in one hand, while they hold the sword in the other, so that the invaded party may have its choice between the two : Therefore "Resolved, That the President be required to make known, by public proclamation or otherwise, to all the country that whenever any State now in insurrection shall submit herself to the authority of the Federal Government as defined in the Con stitution, all hostilities against her shall cease, and such State shall be protected from all external in terference with her local laws and institutions, and her people shall be guarantied in the full enjoyment of all those rights which the Federal Constitution gave them.

"So the preamble and resolution were laid upon the table.'' It is thus seen that, under the lead of the chairman Of Ways and Means, my col league [Mr. Moorhead] voted to lay the se resolutions upon the table. By that vote he has declared that the war should not terminate though the people/of the South should lay down their arms and submit to the authority of the Government. Al though the war has lasted for nearly three years, and has spread death and desolation in its path, though it has broken up our industry, burdened us with mighty debts, shingled us with taxation, and demoralized our people ; though it threatens the over throw of our republican system and the substitution of a despotism in its place, yet he refuses by his vote to adopt the only basis upon which peace and order and stability can be again secured. His pol icy means abolition, subjugation, and ex termination. Fresh hecatombs must be offered to appease his insatiable appetite for blood. It is my solemn conviction that it is only upon the basis of those resolutions that this struggle can be brought to a peaceful -1 and successful termination. To this con- . elusion we must come at last. Fanaticism and evil men may delay this result, and the country may have to be exhausted by 1 the fires of civil war ere it becomes a reali -1 ty.

A . cannot forget, and if ne does frefir eitrsinnip 2 and oatholios of their religions It is surprising that my colleague, in his assault upon the Administration of Mr. Buchanan, repeats here in his place the stale charge that Floyd, the Secretary of War, stole a large portion of the pub lic arms and transferred them to southern arsenals. The allegation is of little im portance, except as far as it misrepresents a Democratic Administration. My col league `was a member of the 'Thirty-Sixth Congress, and should have known that a committee constituted by the House, of which Mr. Stanton, a leading Republican, was chairman, and of which a majority were Republicans, reported on the 18th day of February, 1861, that the southern States received in 1860 less, instead of more, than the quota of arms to which they were entitled by law ; and that three of them, North Carolina, Mississippi and Kentucky, received no arms whatever, and this simply because they did not ask for them. I refer my colleague to the report, which will be found in the second volume of Reports of Committees of the House for 1860-61. It is stranger still that my colleague has repeated that the Administration were derelict in not arresting the progress of the rebellion in its early stages. I re assert what I stated in my remarks of the 24th of February, that the law of the 28th of February, 1795, did not confer upon the President sufficient power to employ mili tary force to execute the laws and protect the public property, and that Mr. Bu chanan, in his message to Congress on tho Bth of January,. 1861, asked for such au thority. Congress failed to grant it. My colleague was a member of that Congress. It is a sad commentary on the degeneracy of the times that he should stand up here in the broad light of the heavens to revile the then President for omitting to do what he,a along others who constituted a majority in Congress, failed to grant him the power to do. This is a gross abuse of our pa tience, to which the boldness of Cataline would scarcely have been equal, and if he had been blessed with Cataline's sagacity he would have seen that it was useless. The gentleman asserts that our financial success has become the wonder of the world. I agree with him that it is a won der. On the Ist of January, 1861, prior to the commencement of hostilities, the entire circulation of all the banks, North and South, was but a fraction over $202,- 000,000, while on the Ist of January, 1863, in the States known as the loyal States, the circulation exceeded $238,500,- 000. Add to this the United St tes Treasury notes, interest-bearing Treasury notes, fractional currency, and certificates of indebtedness, all of which circulate as currency, and it amounts' to over $779,- 000,000. Put to that the issue of the new national banks, which in the aggregate 'well the volume:of circulation to more than $1,000,000,000, and he will learn the magnitude of the Government issues. The legitimate business of the entire country before the war could be transacted upon a circulation of a fraction over $202,000,000. Now, with a divided country and with commercial intercourse comparatively re stricted, the circulation is increased to More than $1,000,000,000, deranging the measure of all values, one dollar in gold, the constitutional currency, commanding $l.Bl in greenbacks. Well may it be pronounced a wonder. Prior to 1861, the average daily clearances in the clearing house of the city of New York were only about $22,000,000, while of late they have averaged over $115,000,000, and, have even run up as high as $146,000,000 in one day. My colleague should read much and relict more before venturing to become a public instructor. But notwithstanding the freedom with which the gentleman impeaches the mo tives of classes as well as individuals, I look over his speech in vain for any cop demnation of the usurpations of those in authority, and especially for the slightest reflection upon the miserable crowd of sappers and miners—the contractors who have fattened themselves on the blood and tears and distress of the nation— whose howl is ever fiercest for the war, whose policy it is to prolong it, and who denounce without measure all. who seek to give it a proper direction or a speedy ter mination. We in Pennsylvania have seen these harpies feeding on the life-blood of the State, and my colleague knows—none knows better than he--the paralyzing and consuming power of the frauds on which he chooses to preserve a silence so profoundly loyal. As a faithful sentinel on the watchtower of the nation, why has he never given notice that this same class of persons are gnawing its foundations away It was Madame Roland who, when the cauldron of the Rev( ltition was boiling over in France, weeping over the degradation of society and the frauds that were everywhere apparent, exclaimed : " 0 Liberty !"—and I might add, 0 loy alty !—"what crimes are committed in thy him to the remarks whioh I had the honor to submit on the I7th of February, the occasion on which I offered a proposition to increase the soldiers' pay and declared that they had performed their duty with noble fidelity and ze and that Antietam, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and Chattanooga were monuments of their bravery and patriotism that would bear their fame to a a distant and admiring future, and were at least entitled to our justice: I may further say that on that oceasion I deolared that wherever any part of that great Army had moved on the water or upon the land its ranks had been filled with thousands of gallant Democrats, many of whom now sleep in soldiers' graves. But, Mr. Speaker, snob exhibitions are liberties. The Germans, too, he aimed to make the victims of his vengeance. But the countrymen of Emmett and Curran and, Grattan still live, and* are marching in thousands by the side of the hardy German, carrying the flag of the Union through blood and fire to defend for him, that home from which he would have excluded them. My colleague for the greater part of his life has been a Democrat, at least in pro fession. In those days abolitionism was powerless and he was opposed to it. It comes with an ill grace from him now, in deed. It is a slander to say that the Dem ocratic party has sympathy with the rebel lion. It is a slander repeated by the low est as well as those favored with position. It has been conceded by members of the Democratic party that there was provoca tion for the rebellion but no justification. In my remarks of the 24th of February, I characterized secession as treason. I en deavored to show that, as a legitimate re sult of the State rights doctrine, secession and nullification have no warrant in the Constitution. Yet my colleague, with great facility of conclusion, pro nounces this the doctrine of John C. Cal houn. He has sadly changed since the days when he" was a Democrat and claims to have been the friend of General Cass ; the days when.he prbspered on the patro nage of that great organization whose pol icy and patriotism upheld this Government for three quarters of a century, and which is still willing to shield it and save it or perish in the effort. Then he believed that if ever abolitionism got the Govern ment in its hands the country would rush headlong to ruin. Now he gloats over the fulfilment of the prophecy. Now he votes to give this Ball for a British enemy of the Union to lecture in, and assists to de grade the nation by approving a eulogy on John Brown, the traitor and the murderer. When he bows down in homage to George Thompson, the man who for thirty years has been plotting the destruction of this Republic., he should be careful how he ap plies the word disloyal and make no refer ence to General Cass, the patriot who gave his . days and nights during all that time to the safety of the nation. Mr. Speaker, the motives of the Demo cratic party require no defense. It has ever been the party of freedom and of pro gress, ever the defender of the Constitu tion, the laws, and the Union of the States. At the present moment that great old party covered all over with truth, like the armor of Achilles, may well say, "Thrice, is he armed who loath his quarrel just." That great party clings to the Constitution, and does not change its principles nor its inde pendence for the favor of a President who is but temporarily in power. The one it regards merely as a man, the sun of whose official life is fast going down, and soon there will be an end of his power and im portance. The other, the Constitution, is the Magna Charts of their liberties, in which is stored the hopes of the present and of millions to come after us, and in the preservation of which is centered the interests of the people of every clime. A New Speculation. The stock reporter of the Philadelphia Sunday Times, a humorous and ready writer, thus hits off the mania for specula tion in all sorts of foolish enterprises now so prevalent throughout the country: For the benefit 'of our hot-headed read ers, who are anxious to get in, and doubly anxious to get out, we give below a pros pectus of a new Company about being opened. The books will be opened on the 7th Monday of April, S. E. by N. W. corner of Fourth and Dock streets, at the hour when it is hard to tell which is t'other or which. We will not endorse it or guarantee its truthfulness, but at the same time believe it to be about as valua ble as some of the stocks now being engi neered. We leave it with our readers to examine and determine upon. The Orinzabeeze Mining, Manufacturing, Railroad, Coal, Iron, Zinc and Oil Com pany. Capital $100,000,000,000. 1,000,- 000,000 shares of $lOO each. This Com pany is organized under special charter from several of the States and' Territories. The charter is entirely free from liabilities of all kinds, and is of unusual scope, em bracing Mining, Railroad, Manufacturing, Digging, Boring, Hauling, Buying, Sell ing, and Steamship privileges of the most extensive character. The object of the Company is the prosecution of operations on the lands which it owns, under certain grants whioh it holds from the Great Tycoon of Japan, covering mineral rights to 4000 square miles of land, with an ocean front of 300 miles, and embraces valuable franchises for Mining, Naviga tion, Railroad, Boring, Buying, Selling, Fishing, and the general development of all the interests of the Company. Ex aminations whioh have recently been made by a large Scientific and Mining Corps, sent out for that purpose, having proven beyond the possibility of a doubt, that this region is the riohest, not only where it is situated, but in the whole world, or any other place of which we have any definite information. These examinations have developed the existence of Copper to an extent that has surprised even the most sanguine, and it may be safely put down that the yield from this source alone will reach the sum of $100,000,000 per an num. It is not alone in Copper, however, that the great wealth of the land consists, but Silver and Gold' have been found in Such quantities as almost to stagger the explorers themselves the latter precious metal having been found cropping out in pure solid blocks, similar in form and size to those of the great "Giant's Causeway," in Ireland. The existence of gold has been long known to the aboriginal party residing on the premises, from the fact that in a small lake in the neighborhood, to which there are several inlets, but no outlet, the only fish found-there are gold fish, and the surrounding country swarms "with gold bugs. With .reference to the silver, the following analysis, which has been carefully made, will show the won derful richness of the ores on this property: Silicia, - - - 120 Carbonic Acid Gas, - 5 10 Oxide Zino, - - 35 25 Silver, - - - 51 40 Lime,- - - - 1 70 Sulphur, - - - 305 Lead, Iron, Oil, Water and Soft Soap, - - 230 . 100 parts. It will.be -seen.. by the :Rhine, that not only in its mineral wealth does its 'value -BIJOHANAB. consist, but the existence of CarboilioAcid Gas,, offers fine indneiernents, Soda Wa ter Manufacturers; 'arid Lucifer- matches can be i readily" made from the sulphur on the premises.. Many of the specimens of ore brought home - by the exploring party, have, however, been much richer than the above, yielding in the proportion of, two tons: of pure silver to the ton of ore. An other, and. perhaps not less astonnding dis covery,-has been made on our property ; id holing for liquids, after the , auger had penetrated' the solid root to the depth of 400,0001eet t , a rein' of fine sugar house molasses qvas strut*, which runs 2,000 hogsheads per day ; and in another district the exploring party discovered a mine of fine brown sugar, that has been worked by the natives for over 3,000 years, and ap pears to be inexhaustible , and from indi cations, in many of the tracts examined, our scientific corps are confident of being able to assure the stockholders that they will shortly , open an egg mine of unusual yield, and in a tract S. twenty-two degrees W. of the shaft sunk for the above pur pose, were discovered most' positive -indi cations of butter which can be mined at a trifling expense',- and, from calculations, will yield about 20,000 lbs. a day, which, at the present price of 55 or 60 cents, will produce a handsome revenue to the Com pany. We might mention other valuable interests connected with this Company, but enough has already been said to prove that this is, without doubt, the most valuable, and, at the same time, the most desirable enterprise that any of our citizens can in vest whatever capital they have left from investment in other companies. DON JOSE Y. FTGUARIO, Presidents 0. BALDERDASH SMITH, IMPORTANT REQUISITES IN A WIPE.- A knowledge of domestic duties is beyond all price to a woman ; every one of the sex ought to know how to sew, and knit, and mend, and cook, and superintend a house hold. In every situation in life, high or low, this sort of knowledge is of great ad vantage. There is no necessity that the gaining of such information should inter fere with intellectual acquirement or even elegant accomplishment. A well-regulated mind can- find time to •attend to all. When a girl is nine or ten years old, she should be accustomed to take some regular share in the household duties, and to feel respon sible for the •manner in which her part is performed—such as her own mending, washing the cups and putting them in place, cleaning silver, or dusting and arranging the parlor. This should be done occasionally, and not neglected when ever she finds it convenient ; she should consider it her department.— When older than twelve, girls should be gin to take turns in superintending the household ; making puddings, pies, cakes, &c. To learn effectually, they should actually do these things themselves, and not stand by see others do them . Many a husband has been ruined for want of these domestic qualities in a wife—and many v husband has been saved from ruin by his wife being able to manage well the household concerns.
