•The Natural Will out of Harmony with
the Divine Will ; Suggested by the
Track of the storm.
A CAR'iOON, BY' THOMAS MORAN.
Dreadful indeed; is the desolation which
marks the course of those natural phe
nomena manifested in the tornado, the
earthquake, and the avalanche. Mournfully
sad are the sequences of the fatal pestilence,
visiting the hearth-stones of a continent ;
andgrievous truly are the ravages of the
merciless inundation andfire-breathing vol
cano. The electric storm-cloud, discharging
its thunder-bolts, and the boisterous tem- (
• pest stirring the ocean to tumultuous con
flict, the sirocco and typhoon--all leave
pitiable traces of their power. But they
• move on spending their might, and gaining
new strength, obedient to the primeval laws
ofereation. And reason-gifted, "the word"
, possessing man battles dutifully with the
'mindless elements, to convert them to his
goad, or in catastrophe unavoidable, he
seeks the lesson they would teach, feeling
that the Creator, in his better wisdom, fash
ioned the cradle of the , avalanche among
.•
the barriers of mountain heights ; and in
his omniseence gave the little rivulet to ir
rigate our plains, yearly glad with the
golden grain of harvest. Bat then the sun
beams that may help to ripen the nodding
beads of barley and of wheat, are working
changes in that sea of ice, brilli: nt with sap
:. shire blue, emerald green, and opalescent
gigantic jewel, on the
index finger of the earth. The people behold
it from afar with admiration. Suddenly a
loud report, like a distant thunder boom:
the icesjewel is split, and loosened from its
' 'setting. The mountain trembles beneath
the fragments, as they scour their way into
• the sea, that claims the frozen waters as its
' own. There the ghostlymonsters surge in
the darkness,of night, when the good ship
freighted with human souls is crushed in
-"' their collision.
Again, the suns rays are fiercely bright:
'the mountain tops are bare; the narrowed
rivulets! tell of drought, and the winds that
may have strengthened the grain stalks,
now bear along the dark swarm of noxidus
insects that infect the,', air, and blight the
precious grain. Dire and grievous are the
occurrences; but man, true to himself, or
dained to -be the high priest of God in
nature, in his reason perceives that they
are the natural-fulfilment of Heaven estab
lished laws; or in more solemn reverence,
lie feels in their results the hand of an all
wise Providence; and struggling rightfully
with nature's laws man, in his true dignity,
brings his lower will into harmony with
the divine will, and murmurs not.
But the most terrible, the most disas
terous calamity to a people is the curse of
civil war. Brothers in arms against each
other! Verily the wicked spirit of Cain
breakingout anew. Fathers invoking ruin
upon their own children; mothers at enmi
ty with- their nurtured offspring; a people
divided, a nation at variance with itself.
Civil war. Oh, wpeful hours fraught with
darkest misery, when the dread cause was
unwittingly instituted. War among breth
ren. Has diplomacy lost its power? "Is
there not a wise man among you?" Conflict
is inevitable. Then duty when the cry is
forward. Must chilling animosity supplant
the nobler charity? Shall the advantages of
civilized life, the ennobling acquirements of
intellectual culture, degenerate and merge
into a period of barbarism?i God forbid.
Civil war in a country so favored with vast
ranges of - mountains, useful and sublime,
. stored with mineral wealth, abounding with
rluxuriant prairies, and traversed by tin
!..--t'xittnabered streams. Shall a people, sur
, rounded by free institutions of learning and
• by sanctuaries where every sect may wor
- shipin liberty, be launched into civil strife?
Already the faces of stalwart men are fixed
and pale, not with fear, but resolute deter
mination. Each aide claims right.- Each
side dares to pray. All is confusion. Armed
men hurl" to and fro. Congregations are
consigning to the furnace bells that were
wont to invite to worship, to be moulded
into missiles to drain a brother's blood.
Elsewhere the tender hands of maidens
are shredding finely the linen cloth
• to quench the gory wound.
Business, haste, turmoil everywhere. All
night the invalids' rest is disturbed by the
rumbling of artillery. And the minutes of
darkness are counted by the measured tread
of miles of marching infantry. The hour
approaches. Peace is broken—the cannon's
roar has come from the sea—the first breach
is made ; a mighty nation, in a vast country,
immersed in civil war ! Old routine aban
doned—roads destroyed—bridges broken—
ties disregarded—homes forsaken—women
weeping—women toiling—men hnzzahing,
marching, bivouacing, nightly marching—
the long-roll of the drum—then the conflict
and the 'bloody:strife. Quondam advocates of
Christian charity, urging frenzied men into
the fray. Sabres flashing, bayonets clash
ing, the prayers of expiring heroes and the
blasphemy of the recreant ascending toge
ther: whizzing rifle balls. A noble ensign
falls. Through the din, amidst the smoke,
again the colors float o'er the rampart, o'er
the mast. Infuriatedhorses plunging in the
charge ; beneath their iron tramp are
wounded men—friend and foe. Pity—not
now ; forward to the breach. The dykes
with dead are filled; the riders and their
steeds a tangled ,heap—strong nerve and
muscle—boys and old men—alas! wo
men in the habiliments, of fighting
men. Those, for old habits and
• local rights, andi these for right. And when
the full price is paid; when the last material
fetter is broken, and the poor bondsman re
. cognizes' no earthly master, will mankind
- embrace a wider and nobler charity ? Will
yon go out with the lamp of knowledge and
make him free? Let us hope. How long
shall the pendulum oscillate? Now duty
calls. Still the din of musketry, and can
nons roar. All are resolute. Here the line
wavers, and there the file is broken. They
retreat. Death and destruction are doing
Iheit'work. The imposing town—the trea
anof a century's wealth—yesterday the
'worthy pride of man, now lies, by shell and
fire, by to humanity, a desolate
ruin in the track of the storm—the humili
ating result of civil war, where the natural
will is out of harmony with.the Divine will.
It is the lamentable consequences of such
:warfare that Mr. Thomas Moran has de
picted..with CO much feeling, in his grand
.0
„cartoon, " The Track of the Storm."
,itis a picture-poem of the highest order,
replete with passages of the saddest melan!
choly—passages already graven with steel,
on many noble forms—graven with woe on
many tender hearts. It is for us, I
mean, my countrymen, monumental
'to our pitiful remorse. It is for the world
tq , 11, posterity—a beacon in admonition
. the direful ravages of civil'strife. It is of
belie of the sequence of the gigantic atrlZ
glEr ea great people, grappling with a
• rgplevetis and overgrown evil. To the phi
tlanth.ropic throughout the earth it is %cora
meinotative of the death of that demoral
iziNg evil which shall have no resurrection.
Hppe is immortal. What has the picture of
the hopes of bettar,„things for the weary and
depressed?- Verily it speaketh in a hea
venlylangnage, harmoniously, even of pro
mise, with golden notes in bars of light;
tkte_snnbeams, the scattering clouds, the
athectrturt, high in the empyrean. There i s
the sun; there is the old light. To those who
vslero offfeeble faith, the new light. But I
'will agree with the artist and write the old
light; only it is more apparent now. The
tuulhaurtecl light of the old republic, beam
ing with beneficence for all, even for those
who, in their, blindness,tAlieved themselves
its enemies. Let.it celebrate the new life--
he invigorated Union. May its light of
we penetrate to those of the, golden shore
.nd of the Southern Gulf—to those beyond
he head waters of the great river and among
the forests of the •far North. The rising
olouds, in majestic forms, bear the sem-
Hance of the bird we love—the bird
our fathers placed above the flag of free
dom; in fancy or sweeter faith,l see it rising
higher l ever .higher, in triumphant mood,
heralding in its wings the light. Is it to
you the light of truth? It is typical of lib
erty. It is the absenbe of darkness.
The artist has wisely availed himself of
the grandest natural features of our coun
try's resources; the mountain robed in state
liness, the wide and flowing river, the ever
green forest, and the far-reaching fertile
valley, with gorgeous clouds and light re
ilendent.
Then, beside all this glorious pageantry
of nature, before a rising sun, in summer
time,_ amidst dancing cascades, laughing
rivulets, and gay wild flowers with dew
drops sparkling in their chalices; amidst
this freshness of nature, he depicts a town
deserted; of late the favored abode of a busy
people, a centre of trade, and a fund of
wealth; now, the blackened and mutilated
wreck of its former greatness. Deserted!
Noliuman life in it, its people scattered by
the strife of civil war. Void! Like a worn
out fabric lost in the track of the storm.
The ancient archway is demolished, and
trees, felled by human hands, interrupt the
highways, indicating that all neighborly in
tercourse has been cut off.
The school houses are vacant, no
instructor, no youths no lisping tongues,
no growing minds tot e trained, that might
on occasion, by the eloquence of their rea
son, set aside a rising storm of civil strife:
The court house is in ruins and the station
qfjustice is broken, it matters little if only
the emblem be injured so that the principle
be held sacred; the house of industry is
hushed, the mill and its ponderous wheel
lay waste, the forge is despoiled and • cold
where the good keel was fashioned into
scythe-blades. When shall its fire be re
kindled and the-smith beat out the imple
ments of peace again ? Commerce is aban
doned, the canal holds no treasure laden
boats, the iron railways and the massive
bridge of stone are destroyed, the prickly
thistles and broken fetters are not without
their meaning; a green vine sweet emblems
of charity, is twined over a battered cais
son; the spiked cannon and exploded shell,
show the intensity of the struggle. The
only animal life is a poor raven, funeral
clad, like a winged pall hovering over the
gloom; but around all that confusion and
turmoil—this desolation and woe, ex
ternal nature, strong and majestic,
serene and beautiful, moves undis
turbed in all its course. Surely
the indifference of nature is sometimes more
sublime than its sympathy.
Go alone among the rude graves of the
slain—alone before the quiet mountain,
time-enduring type of the perpetual—alone,
when the elements are hushed—where the
din of war is done, and not an infant's voice
is there to break the stillness of the sleeping
hills, go alone to meditate on the transient
ness of man's handiwork, and amidst the
wreck of his hopes, learn from its silent elo
quence the sad message of "the track of the
storm."
The technical qualifies of, this imposing
picture are worthy of earnest comment, but
here I purposely omit any special notice of
them, regarding the work chiefly in an in
tellectual aspect. What need I say in com
mendation of the artist? Is not his own
production a monument to his fame? Let
the thought it has awakened in me be my
..tribute to his praise. It is the sad vision of
a melancholy event, conceived from stern
reality, and mirrored with truth and pro
found reverence from the sanctity of the
painter's mind. It is the tender commemo
ration of the frailty of man, and the needful
admission of his might, expressed by the
sympathy and the power of genius.
Gloomy as the scene is, it is not without a
gleam of encouragement. Already in the
distance may be traced the return of human
life. Man has begun his labor of renewal
with fresh zeal and energy indomitable.
Even now the vapor of his fires is ascend
ing heavenward, and the light is full of
hope. It is the light of the material universe
driving out foul vapors from a forsa
ken town. 'lt is the light of the republic
dispelling the mists of error from the minds
of men, and the bruised snake, typical of
evil, is seeking a hiding place from its efful
gence ? What a wealth of pathos does the
artist convey in remembering those simple
memorials erected o'er the warriors' waiting
place by hands that in the battle toiled.
How consoling the thought that charity is
not extinct.
But the centre of the picture is the glory
of the poem. Here the jewel is safe though
the setting be broken. It iathe altar of the
living God radiant with light ! Amidst all
the devastation of war unscathed and per
fect. The unresounding streets lead to it.
The solemn hills slope to it. It is the
Church of Christ, glorious in light, that with
its indEx spire points ever upward, where
there is no war, and the spirits of those who
have fought the good fight swell the seraph
anthem of praise. Behold in the light of
the new day an emblem of eternal day; and
standing alone, humbly, yet in the full dig
nity of your priesthood, resolve to dedicate
your best efforts to bring the natural will
into harmony with the Divine will. This
is the word—the import and the moral of
the track of the storm.

POLICE AFFAIRS. —The organization of
the present Police Department of Camden,
is the most thorough and efficient ever
known .in that city, in proportion to the
number employed. The complete safety of
the city, and security of property against
bberies and incendiaries, require a large
iorce of policemen, but the promptitude
and vigor with which the officers now on
uty discharge their duties, show how much
an be accomplished by a few live and
active men. The citizens of Camden truly
owe them a debt of 'gratitude, and have ex
hibited their preference for them by the re
nomination of Mayor Budd and Marshal
Campbell, whose sagacity in selecting po
licemen has resulted in so.much good to
the city.
Tan Comp SNAP.—The cold weather now
prevailing has again crowded the station
house in Camden with lodgers every night,
aid caused great distress among the needy
in all sections of the city. Here is addi
tional work for the philanthropic, :and it is
gratifying to see with what zeal the humane
set about discharging their duties. During
the wintec many worthy families have been
kindly provided with such aid as is neces
sary to shield them from cold and hunger,
and this good work of benevolence is still
going on.l
CHILD BURNED.—Yesterday, about noon,
a small child, aged ten 3 , ears, daughter of
Mr. Snyder, Fourth and Federal streets,
came near losing her life, by her clothes
taking fire from a bonfire which had been
kindled near the Catholic school-house.
Fortunately, however, the flames were put
out before she was badly injured, although
her clothes were burned almost up.
FIRE AT HIGHSTOWN.—It was reported in
Camden, this morning, that a serious fire
occurred, yesterday afternoon, in Eights
town, on the line of tire Camden and Am
boy Railroad, by which a number of dwell
ing houses and stores, together with other
property, were destroyed.
ACCIDENT TO A GT/INAST.—Says the New
Orleans Bee: Master Nino Eddie, the
wonderful boy gymnast at the Academy of
Music, met,with an accident last night by
failing from the trapa!e, while in the drum
act, for a distance of not less than thirty
feet to the stage. The force of the fall was
slightly broken by a blanket, but it is
feared, notwithstanding the daring little
fellow came before the curtain to assure the
audience that he was alive, that he may
have received serious injury from the
shock.
THE Bangor Whig says; •'A letter was
mailed in one of our post offices, the other
day, that had no podtage stamp on it, but In
place of the stamp had the following writtea
m one corner of the envelope: 'Mr. Post
master, don't charge no postage on this; the
stamp wouldn't stick, so I tore the thing
up."
