SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1861
Remarkable Old-Worll Prophecy;
Ever eine the discovery of America by
Columbus, it has been popularly believed that
Seneca and Plato had plainly predicted that
event, so important to the interests of hu
manity. In Bacon's Essays' there is one en
titled "Of Prophecies," which refets, among
other examples, to portions of the writings of
Seneca and Plato, which, in his time, (and,
we may add, since,) were considered as espe
cially bearing upon this instance. Seneca's
lines are as follows
Venient ant&
Ftnoula serie, quibus °mantis
Vinonla mum laxit, et ingene
Patent Tonne, Tiploys:que TIOVOS
Detegat orbes ; neo Ent torrie
Ultima Thule.
The literal translation is : cc After the lapse
of years, ages will come in which Ocean shall
relax: his chains around the world, and a vast
continent shall appear, and Tiphys shall ex
plore new _ regions, and
,Thule shall be no
longer the utmost verge of the earth." As
Ultima Thule is understood to have been the
Faroe Islands, in the Roman estimation, the
above indicates that the new continent was to
appear in the West.
Before Seneca's lines were written, Plato
had narrated the Egyptian legend that, en
gulphed in the Ocean, but sometimes still
visible, was the Island of Atalantis—supposed
to mean the Western World.
Bacon, although he says that all kinds of
predictions should be discredited, enumerates
a great many which actually were fulfllled—as
if, with the credulity of his age, he believed
them, but, au a grave philes9pher, woo bound
to deny them.
A learned friend, whose, signature is V. W.
X. Y. Z., and who need not here be named, has
sent us a remarkable prophecy, said to have
been written centuries ago, which seems cu
riously and emphatically to refer to the present
condition of affairs in this country. He pre
faces the original and translation, with this in
troduption
The following Monkish-Latin verses (of which I
have attempted a translation, with what /MOM
others shall judge) are, indeed, to say the least of
them, wonderful as deeoribing so accurately and
minutely some of the events transpiring in our
own day and country. The structure of the origi
nal Latin is such (I need not tell you) as was fre
quently practiced in the middle ages, more par
ticularly, and in the religions houses of Conti
nental Europe, and many parts of Great Britain
and Ireland. Indeed, snob Leonine or Monkish-
Latin verses were much in fashion front a very
early period of the Christian era until the revival
of olassioal literature. To what particular age
or ocuntry the Leonine now under considera
tion belong, it would be difficult to eoniseture.
They would am, however, to be assignable to
a period somewhat prior to that when the Latin
language lost much of its idiomatic beauty and
conciseness of expression. The elision of the
vowels (the terminating vowel of one word before
the succeeding beginning vowel in another word)
is oleassly observed la the present versei.
' In the sixth line, the word "ejus" is to be pro
nounced as though the j were absent, and some
what like the English noun "use :" the no of
lg.:Jew/li," in the same line, is, of course, elided in
rending, as it is, moat generally "ante vocalem."
As the verses have never hitherto been pub
lished, (existing, as they do, only in manuscript,)
I know of no better medium for bringing them
into the light of day than the columns of The
Press. They may, perhaps, thereby obtain as
wide a dissemination among the other journals of
the country as their literary merits arid prophetic
accuracy entitle them to.
The Latin verses, rough enough to be old,
are as follows
Antequam Tres Deoemque Genjuneti
Trip=ant sink parte perfumed,
Aquila, belli felgure strata,
Dooidet stele &decimals.
Qaum Sexaginta flatus aril
linusque loeum ejus oeoupaverit,
din= fratreo, fra.tribno sneeenfi,
Mnitnm tribuent =Timm egotism.
Sad si alba alba, et nigra nigra manent,
Conjuneti, iteram, fanatique olarent.
Quando inter Oast Gras apparebit,
Nun= tins inter Gas videbit.
Oar friend's translation, accurate as well as
flowing, we now subjoin:
TRANSLATION
Before *Thirteen United
Shall be thrice what they are,
The Eagle shall be blighted
By the lightningi of war.
When fSlxty is ended
And One takes its place,
Then, brothers, offended,
Shall deal mutual disgrace.
If t white remain white,
And black be still black,
Onea moss they'll unite,
And bring happiness back
But whenever the §Cross
Stands aloft 'mong the stars,
They shall gain by their loss,
And thus end all their wars.
He has appended a few Notes, which may
fitly close his very curious •communication ;
* This undoubtedly refers to the thirteen origi
nal United States of America.
Tay mast moan when the year 1580 tenni
'mire, and 1801 begins.
$ Tho meaning of this may be, as certainly as
white is white, and as certainly as black is black,
once more a Union feeling will prevail, and con
sequent happinooo bo tho result; or oho it ay
possibly convoy, under its mystic meaning, an al
lusion to the propriety of letting the " nigger"
alone, and leaving the white man to attend to his
own affairs ; or, perhaps, of making a discrimina
tion between the two races, . 6 the white and the
block."
This, most assuredly. means, if the Banner of
the. Cross stands aide by side with the " Star-
Spangled Banner; " or, in other words, if the
masses of the peope become Christianized, then,
and then only, shall they become a united a vie
torious, and happy people.
The force of the allusions must be evident
to all. They would have startled Francis
Bacon.

Godey's Lady's Book and Peterson's Lathes'
Magazine have reached us together, and both
show their proprietors' reaper/live f Impose of de
serving the immense popularity which has intro
duced them Into general circulation throughout all
parts of the, country. Godey gives a very pretty
frontispiece, entitled " Buttercups and Daisies,"
which is a little more to our taste than " Heart
Confessions," in Peterson's. Godey's doable plate
of fashions is striking, (the pea-green riding-habit
is outré In color,) but, on the other hand, Peter
son's Parisian fashions, though occupying less
space, are quite artietical. The face of the girl on
the balmy, in this plate, is quite a study for those
who like to watch the effects of light and shade.
Both Magazines have numerous other engravings,
which female readers will be pleased with, and
also original mnsio and readable letterpress. Mr.
Godey, we notice, still follows the example of Jel

no farther than Africa, but he travels all the way

that there is no destitution of soul or body nearer

upon the raising of the Stars and Stripes. Our
pretty little village, usually so busy and sober, is

strong determination prevails that the Little

About one o'Clook to-day a beautiful flag was
seen ascending the handsome pole over the Henry

in the propitious breeze ? 'displayed sixteen feet of
length, and thirteen stripes and thirty-four stare,
a ready cannon belched forth its joy in thirty.fonr

RE.LIGTOIT
A. Time to Pray and a Time to Act.
BY GILIY/IZARD.
We do not mean, by this caption, that sincere
prayer to the Sov . ereiga Ruler of the Universe le
not always proper, in the way of secret cum
amnion, (there is a sense in which the believer is
to " pray without ceasing,") but there are momenta
—when other duties supersede its outward mani
festations. Suoh a time was reaohed by the chil
dren of Israel in the hour of their greatest peril,
when, led forth from their bondage In Egypt, by
the hand of Jehovah, under the leadership of
MOM, they stood upon the margin of the Red
Bea, hemmed In by an impassable barrier upon
either hand, and the rustling host of Pharoah in
the rear. In this hoar of perplexity and fear,
instead of advising a prayer-meeting OH the spot,
Moles le expressly commanded to refrain from any
such demonstration " And the Lord said unto
Moses, Wherefore orient_ thon unto me ? Speak
unto the ohildren of Israel, that they go forward."
Tne result of obeying this injunction we need not
dwell upon. The lesson to be drawn from this is,
that the present juncture with us Is one of action,
and that while all may not be allowed the privi
lege of engaging personally in the contest before
as, there is a• sacred • duty deilohang upon all
good citizens to be performed towards "the
powers that be," and that this, loyalty should be
manifested in some practical way. There is no
one living under tne flag of our . eountry today, be
he matt or sinner, who hes not, In some degree,
sheared the benefits of our Government, which is
nowjeopardized. While; therefore, disloyalty is a
Crime, ingratitude is a reproach. Every , one can
'do something, either 'direotly for his 'coitiiiiy,'or
for the loved ones of those who are going forth, it
may be to be immolated upon its altar, in defence I
of our liberties This, then, is a time for action!
One of the moat thrilling reminiscences in the
=trials of the Anienioan Revolution is related of
General Peter Mulilenberg, whose (whet' repose in ,
the burying ground of " The Old Trappe Church,"
in Montgomery 'county, this State. When the I
war broke out, Muhlenberg was the rector of a
Protestant Episcopal Church in Dunmore county,
Oo a Stinday rooming he administered
the communion of the Lord's Supper to his charge,
stating that in the afternoon of that day he would
preach a sermon on " The duties men owe to their
country." At the appointed time the building
were orowiled with anxious listeners The dis
course, if we remember correctly, was founded
upon the text from Solomon—" There is a time for
every purpose and for every work." The sermon
burned with patriotic Ora ; every sentence and
intonation told the speaker's deep earnestness in
what he was saying. Pausing a moment at the
close of his discourse, he repeated the words cf
his text, and then, in tones of thunder, exclaimed:
" The time to preach as past; THE TIME TO FIGHT
HAS COME! and, suiting the action to the word, he
threw from his shoulders his episcopal robes and
stood before his congregation arrayed in military
uniform. Drumming for recruits was commenced
on the spot, and it is said that almost every male
of suitable age in the congregation enliated foith-
It would, of course, be improper to assume tbet
ministers, or even laymen, were in all cases bound
to imitate this chivalric hero of the olden time;
on, the contrary, due respect should be paid to
conscientious scruples, where they honestly exist.
The Society of Friends, in the Revolution, although
loyal in feeling, were, by their principles, re
strained from entering the army ; yet Waehington
was too wise to recommend their coercion. Since
then, however, (we judge from the sentiments of
individual members,) Quakerism has gradually
grown more militant, More than year ago, the
writer hoard one of their number, who etands high
in the Hiokeite tchool, expreas herself publicly,
that "her Quaker principles were of the Boanergea
order, and that the day for unsheathing the sword
was near at hand," That "order" will hardly
hesitate " for conscience sake" now about entering
the contest before us; yet it Should not be over
looked that there are those, and that among our
best and most loyal citisene, who do. It is rot
probable, however, that any regulation upon
such, except for contributions, will be made, while
there are thousands more standing ready to re
spond to their oountry's , eall than are likely to be
required.
For months peel, the troubles of our country
have been a sort of stan-:ing theme in our pulpits,
and in not a few, mutt ingenious, but evidently
mistaken, Bible logic has been employed to prove
that, however imminent war Peened to be, that
dire consummation was certain to be overruled by
Providence. But the issue is now upon us. From
the fact that the news of the attack upon Sumpter
did not roach us until &Midas , morning, and WOO
even then by many discredited, the War question
was not extensively referred to by the clergy on
last Sunday. To-morrow, however, the Gospel
battertee will no doubt be universally opened on
this all-absorbing subjoot, and it is to be hoped
that the trumpet of these " watchmen on the walls
of Zion," from the greatest to the least, will give
forth no uncertain sound.
TORE OF TEE RELIEIOI7B PRESS
The American Presbyterian T. e.), in an edi.
tcrial, discussing the causes and fads of the war,
says:
There is henceforth room but for one course of
action : our Government must be Sustained; outgo
'ons of party or of private opinion must be laid
aside; all party lines most be obliterated, for all
questions are now reduced to this : Shall our Go
vernment be sustained ? Bhall the power given
under the Constitution and laws of the land,
which, under God, assure us a peaceable and galet
life at home, and respect and immunity abroad,. be
upheld in this emergency, or shall. civil and social
order be broken up, and mob-law or military dic
tatorship be suffered to take its place? Shall ihe
majesty of law, in a land where the restraints of
law are retreat and lightest, mid, therefore, moat
needful to be maintained, be vindicated or be
sacrificed? We thank God for the unanimous and
mighty response our fellow-citizens, of every shade
of opinion, are giving to these questions."
The following we clip from the current number
of The Independent :
" The war is begun—such a war as we have
never had since that in which Washington led our
armies. It is not, like our laat, a war of corquint
and acquisition. It is a war to defend the life of
oar nationality, the sacredness of our Constitution,
the permanence of our Union, and the being of our
Government. The principle is to be established
, for ever that arbitrary and armed secession is
neither a constitutional proceeding nor a peaceful
one; that the obligations or the Union, and of the
Constitution by which it was compacted and de
fined, are not to be thrown off at pleasure; that the
violent subversion of a peaceful and righteous Go
vernment is a game too costly for ordinary demo•
gogues to play at ; that the luxury of treason must
be dearly paid for ; that the lawful property of our
Government, wherever situated, is as altered as any
other property, and that the men who seize it, by
stealth or by force, under whatever pretence of
authority from revolutionary committees or eon
venlione, are nothing else than thieveis and robbers,
and - are to be dealt with accordingly."
The Boston Paot (Oath°lio) has the following
" The unhappy condition of our noble country is
now expressed in action. Booming cannon end
exploding . shell bare taken up the disoussion,
which originated in the triumph of a political
party, pledged by all its antecedents to attempt to
control the industry and enterprise of the South,
and to exclude the venturous portion of its people
from the common territorial of the nation. For
fourteen years it was a war of words, written or
spoken, but it has culminated in bloodshed, and
the end must be the disintegration of the nation.
The slave States will all go together, with Wash
ington for the capital of the new Confederacy ; but,
on the other hand, it is very doubtful whether all
the free btates will adhere together, for the New
England States have interesteeeparate and distinct
from those of the West."
The New York Ultastian, Citrons* says :
" There Is but one feeling now through the
North It is for vigorous, energetic, and deoisive
measures, not for aggressive warfare, for no one
here contempletes or deeirea it, but because the
best peace measure now is the exhibition of such
strength on the part of the Government as will
pzevent further aggressive measures on the part of
the South. Deeply as every patriotic feeling has
been outraged by the unprovoked attack upon
Port Sumpter, we have none but sentiments of the
Most profound pity for the misguided people who
have been led by unprincipled party men into
open' rebellion.'
The Christian Chronsela of this city (Baptist)
prefaces the bill passed by our Legielateire for the
punishment of traitors with this comment: " We
earnestly hope that it may be carried out in all its
provisions and penalties to the very letter. We
have about us at every step many who are indis
creetly, and some perhaps unintentionally, by
their conversation in public, places, giving counte
nance and support to treason. We hope that
they.and others more guilty will take heed to their
ways."
