The American Tyrtaeus.
Tyrteeus, it will be remembered, was the crippled
poet whom the god* granted to the Lacedocmoni
ace, when they bad lost successive engagements-in
battling with their neighbors. They applied to
their, ovepthe-way friends, the Athenians, who
being in very natural perplexityaa to what should
be done, and. having no’ good general whom’ they
were willing or able to . send, picked out a man of
letters, and despatched him as the representative .of.
the nation’s valor. The poet-general must have'
found his position distracting in the extreme, Had
his. strategic measures only equalled his rythmical
ones, he might at the very first, perhaps, have con
gratulated himself upon his verses, and felt thankful
that'the lines had fallen unto him in pleasant
places. But he was a poet as well as a general, and
the number of his enemy placed hors dc combat must
have somewhat depended upon the number of hi*
hexameters, and the duration of the campaigning
season upon the length or his'syllables,
That unlucky Tyrtteus, whom we may imagine
sitting dishevelled in his tent, in the distracted atti
tude of a frenzied poet generalissimo, in all the
miserable knowledge of having had greatness thrust
upon him, was not at first successful. Perhaps he
gave more attention to distiches than to despatches.
At any rate, lie must have taxed Mb own faith in
himself as severely as he taxed the faith of the
Athenians agd Lacedaemonian* in the Delphic
oracle.
Now, we have plenty or lame poets at the present
day—lame enough in all conscience, to say nothing
of prose writers. We have squib writers knook
kneed and bandy-legged; anonymouses with
. clubbed feet (without reference to those fore-and
aft appendices which are oommonly considered not
incompatible with this distinction)conservative
pamphleteers with nodding heads and palsied
arms ; caucuses, pitted against each other, which,
just when it was most needed, have lost their
fight hand; unsuccessful candidates who, from
stooping to ask a favor perhaps, hare grown
hump-backed; and even a few political para
phrasists-with their noses out of joint. But we
have no Tyriaeus to marshal hosts to victory
and swell our numbers as he swells'his own. We
do not want any, and when we do, we shall pick one
out from somewhere up North, bid him remember
Gettysburg, and entreat the muse to remember him.
The poet of'the war, like the historian of the war,
has notyet arisen. Hisouehss not yet been spoken.
Hisstar is not-yet visible among the many little
twinklings now in the heavens. Perhaps it is not
yet time for him to sing his strain, and perhaps, if,
like Tyrtieus, he should be the humble means of se
curing us one more magnificent victory, the shock
would prove too much' for poetic sensibilities, and
he would wilt and wither away. There are plenty
of military men with poetic feeling, and plenty of
rhymsters with military, as well as militia, ardor,
but there are very few who wield equally well the
sword and the pen, and who shed ink and blood with
like advantage. The late Col. Baker was- a fine in-'
stance of a man who could do both.
The need of some Tyrtmus would seem to apply
exclusively to the South. If the so-called Southern
Confederacy cannot gain victories in any other way,
why in heaven’s nam6 do they not persuade their
British metrical champions to come out yet more
boldly on their side. A border minstrelsy would
thus spring up, which would beoome a Bource of in
conceivable entertainment a hundred yeaTS from
nbw. This really is a dnty which grows the heavier
with delay, a debt which is owing to posterity.
We are inclined to believe that our eminent poets
are holding back for reasons best known to them
selves. Perhaps they will not do the handsome
thing because they do not choose to descend from
their pedestals to mingle with the motley herd of
poetasters. Perhaps they fear the wings of their
Pegasus may get battered and broken by such coarse
contact. Perhaps they are waiting for great events,
while great events which they do not see are every
day before their eyes. The old saw says, that no
poet can at once give perfect expression to his feel
ings amid the wonders by which he it impressed.
This may be true, but our poetical brethren have
had ample opportunity to open their eyes to their
widest extension; also, to shut them again, and'it
is now time they should wake up for good.
A New Ladies 1 Magazine.—Messrs. Deacon &
Peterson have just placed before the public the first
number of a new magazine, called The Lady's Friend,
It ia evidently very well edited, by Mrs. Henry- Pe*
terson; is well printed and handsomely Illustrated,
and is full of excellent original reading. Amonglta
contributors are Miss Eleanor O. Donnelly, whose
excellent little sketch called “Gabrielle Wilkie’s
Return,” ‘ appears with a steel engraving in this
number; Miss Eugenia Mott, Mrs. Peterson, MUe
Virginia Townsend, Marion Harland, and many
others.; “AMediseval Poem,” by Mrs. Randolph,,
probably contains the best thoughts of the number:

Tlie Revival of the Grade of Lieutenant
General.
The following is the bill which Mr. Washburns,
pf Illinois, will introduce into the House, it is
designed to apply to G-eneral Grant :
Be it enacted by Vie Senate and House of Representor
lives in Congress That the grade of Lieu
tenant .General be, and the same is hereby, revived
in the army of the United States, and the President
is hereby authorized, whenever he shall deem expe
dient, to appoint, by and with the advice and consent.
of the Senate, a Commander of the Army, to be
selected during the war from among those officers
not below the grade of Major Generahof the regular
army and of volunteers, most distinguished by
courage, skill, and genius in their profession, and
who, being commissioned as? Lieutenant General,,
may be authorized to command the armies-of the
United States. The Lieutenant General, appointed
as hereinbefore provided, shall be entitled to- the
pay, allowances, and staff specified in the fifth section,
of the act approved May 28th, V79S; and also to the
allowances described in the sixth section ofi the act
approved August 23d, 1842, granting additional ra
tions to certain officers. ' ■

General Field Orders, No. 33i—The brilliant
events of the 29th instant, so successful to our arms,
seem to present a fitting occasion for the command- .
ing general to thank this army for their conduct
through-the severe experiences of the past seven
teen days, to assure them of the important bearing
it has had on the campaign in the West, and *to
give them the news of the great victory gained by
G eneral Grant, toward which- their fortitude and
their bravery have in a high degree contributed.
;3n every fight in which thay have been engaged,
and recently in those near Knoxville,, afr Loudon,
at Campbell’s Station, and finally around the de
fences’ on' both Bides of the river, while' on the
march, and in cold and in hunger, they have every
. where shown a spirit whioh hasrgivsa to the Army 5
of the Ohio a name second to none.
By holding in check a powerful body of the ene
my, they have seriously weakened the Rebel army
under • Bragg, which has been completely defeated
by-General Grant, and at the latest accounts was in
full retreat for Dalton, closely pursued by him, with
the loss of 6,000 prisoners, 62,pieces of artillery, and
12 stands of colors. • ' •
For this great and practical result, -toward which
the Army of the Ohio haa. done so much, the com
manding general congratulateS 'them, and with the
fullest reliance on their patienoe and courage in the
dangers they may yet have to meeti looks forward
with confidence, under the blessing of Almighty
God* to a successful close of the campaign.

Colorado Territory.
Govarnor John Evans, of Colorado,.now in this
city, makes some interesting statements.respecting ,
the affairs of that Territory. He has made an im
portant treaty with''the Ute Indians, by whioh they
cede all the mineral* lands in their possession. Go
vernor Evans* is endeavoring to procure a ratifi
cation of that treaty. ' ‘ ,
Colorado contains a population equal to that of
California when she .was admitted as a State—fifty
thousand. The immigration this year w-as over «f

great improvements have heen made within the iait
year. The gold quartz mines in the Territory are
the richest yet discovered, and capital for developing
the precious metal is flowing freely into Colorado.
"We may look for a wonderful increase In the product
of gold from that region. The Legislature has a
two-thirds majority of unconditional Union, mem
bejs its last session the United States Senate
passed an enabling act for the admission of Colo
rado, but it failed in the House for want of-time;
The present Congress will undoubtedly pass a simi
lar act promptly, and the new State will thus take
part In the next Presidential election.'
- Governor Evans was formerly of Chicsgo, and
still has a large property there. He was one of the
professors of Rush'Medical College in that city, and
is a man of ability. He is, of course, Interested in
pushing forward the Pacific Railroad. It is con
fidently asserted that the mineral wealth of Colo
rado exceeds that of California, and tfiat her gold is
sufficient to pay off the national debt.— Washington

THE 9F.EA.T CONFL.fI.9RiTI.ON.
As a general rule our winter Seasons ere ushered
in by conflagrations of greater or. IeBB extent; and
in this xcepect the cold term of 1863 in nowise falls
-behind that of preceding years forthe past quarter
of ft century, Between Monday and Thursday pro
perly to the estimated amount of . nearly six hun
dred thousand dollars has been destroyed by
On Monday night the ship St. Louis, running hence
to New Orleans, waa partially consumed with’her
cargo. At the same time one of the splendid build
ings in & central portion of Broadway was litotally
destroyed, the disaster involving a loss of nearly one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars ; and on''Wed
.nesdaythe crowning conflagration took plftce, de
stroying three hundred thousand dollars* worth in
addition. This last firehad wellnigh swelled the story
of disaster beyond even the point of speculation.: It
originated in ft barge at one of the Hudson-river
piers, and in almost breathingtlme enveloped twelve
piers in flames. Along certain portions of the river
fronts stationary barges answer instead of buildings.
Along the East river these are mostly, devoted to
the sale of fiahea, oysters, etc. On the. Hudson;
however, they are employed as storehouses for' ice
and hay. The Cora Campbell, upon which the Are
originated, waa a hay barge; the inflammable cargo
being stored upon the deck. A few sparks, from the
stovepipe falling upon the bales induced the confla
gration. The day was raw and gusty, and the sharp
winds blowing down the harbor carried the flames
across the pier. In an instant the forest of masts
blazed up. From pier to pier the flames leaped
bodily, as though impelled by Borne hateful impulse.
The yellow, suffocating smoke drove up the narrow
streets, and hung in stagnant foldß along the low
buildings of the contracted, tortuous ways. All day
the city was choked with the strangling vapors. At
one time the buildings along the river front blazed.
Flaming bits blew from, the riggings, and spun off
upon the winds, like pyrotechnics. The Beene pre.
rented* when the fire was at its height, had all the
adjuncts of a terrible beauty. Agaimit the sombre
background of smoke the masts stood up like co
lumns of fretted gold, or the staffs of censers, of
which the (( tops” served as bodies. Beneath, every
hull glowed like a furnace. - Here, the flames leaped
against some new object, and ran up the rigging like
serpents. There, some tall mast reeled in the wind
and tumbled; or consumed, as it were, in an instant,
by the intolerable heat of the blaze, sank down in
ashes. ’
Had the wind increased, or had it veered toward
the city, the very heart of the metropolis might
have been involved in conflagration. As it was, the
danger seemed moat imminent. From tune to time,
the roofs and window, sashes, 1 literally eharred by
the heat, would burst into minute flames'*, but the
firemen, by prompt measures, prevented the spread
of the fire cityward, From a dist&noe, the sight is
said to have resembled a burning of prairies. Some
thirty craft were destroyed before nightfall, and two
men perished in the flames.. Had the disaster oc
curred at night, the loss, both of property and life,
must have been much greater." .
JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.
The lawless spirit of the rabble of this city has
just received a new and characteristic exemplifica
tion, which, fortunately for the ultimate cause of
law and order, resulted in a manner whioh but few
will feel inclined to regret, except upon ethical
grounds. The brutal intolerance exhibited towardß
our negro population by the 11 white Republicans ’’
has been frequently alluded to in these letters, as
also the fact that in mere self-defence the blacks
were taking a defensive stand. On Saturday after
noon, a rowdy named Kane made an attack on one
Little, a colored man, and after chasing him to the
house, commenced abusing the family. Not satis
fied with felling Little to the floor, he knocked down
a female who was endeavoring to summon aid from
the street.. Still unsatiated, he rushed from the
house, p-nd dashed in the windows with paving
' stones, then hurried in again, and again felied'the
poor negro to the ground. Seeing;himself power
less to defend his own life, or the lives of his family,
without a resort to more potent measures, he
-stabbed his assailant to the heart, I.ittle is now in
oustody, but will doubtless receive his acquittal as
soon as judicial action is taken in the case.
This ruffianly assault upon an innocent man at
mid-day and in his own house is only one of the
legitimate results or the pernicious teachings of the
' Copperhead presses in our midst. Day by day they
bowl their diatribes against thenegro in the ears of
the debauched and miserable creatures who drag out
their existences in the purlieus of the city, and
whose ideas of manhood and dignity are compre
hended tw a fanatical hatred of the unoffending
blacks. Yet these men control our functionaries.
Our Common Council, which could not spare an in
significant amount for the redemption of a Presby
terian Church from a burden of debt, whioh hesi
tated to act upon the rebuilding of the colored or
phan asylum which was destroyed by their friends
and supporters during the July riots, gave, in', obe
dience to their demands,' large sums for the endow
ment of their peculiar olerioal institutions. . The
city is hopelessly in their toils.. They send a swin
dler, a lottery dealer, and a disreputable Copper
head editor to represent us at Washington; they
elevate to the j'udgeship a vulgar fellow who was
expelled the army in disgrace; they slay, and rob,
’ and devastate with fire, and yet they rule! If ever
there, existed apolitical Sodom that city is builded
on Manhattan Island.
THE RESULT OF THE “CHESAPEAKE’
PIRACY,
p-Jf Portlier'
needed. it can be found in the of traitora l
our jnidftt. The seizure of the steamer Chesapeake
has cal**' 3 yutsne swarms of pirates
And ©ut*throatß who; encouraged by the reign of
their political affinities, are making New York their
headquarters. At least one. Confederate offioer
walks our streets daily, and frequents our theatres,
in full uniform, without molestation or any prac
tical espionage. At least one of . our great hotelsia
notorious as a resort of the vilest creatures of trea
son, and the proprietor openly exults in the disre
putable character of his house. A score of our well
known boarding-houses bear a similar repute; and
on evtery side the loyal ear is offended by open ex
pressions of treasonable sympathy. It has been pre
viously mentioned that, the political complexion of
the city has improved of late, that proper reforms
have been inaugurated, and that some of the politi
cal vampyres, who have for so long fed upon us,
have been hurled from power. But this improve
ment is only initiatory and circumscribed. The
Chesapeake affair seems to have aroused our autho
rities to some apprehension of the danger which
threatens us from the fire-brands in our midst. The
police and detective forces are urged to keep a vigi
lant eye upon these, disreputable characters, and to
arrest all against whom the proper evidence can be
obtained. How this espionage will result remains
to be seen. Of course, the Woods, McCanns, and
Brookses will augment their dismal bowlings over
arbitraiy anestß and encroaching despotism ; and,
perhaps, for a time there will be no repetitions of
piracy consummated upon vessels sailing from this
port. But these sudden fevers of vigilance seldom
outlast a fortnight. Metropolitan propriety iB noto
riously short-lived.
A few hours of eminently inferior skating have
repaid the feverish anticipations of the lovers of
that exhilarating exercise. “The ball” went up,
and incontinently came down again, passing the
; thermometer en route for. higher quotations. The
brief period vouchsafed the community, was. im
proved by fabulous numbers of our citizens, and
the pond at Central Park, and in the private en
closures, presented & genuine “ Dutch exterior.” -
Effective measures are being taken. by public
spirited citizens for the relief of families of volun
teers during the present winter. In connection
with the subject 4t may be mentioned that a rather
singular project, which is now on foot, has been em
bodied in a resolution offered by one of the City
Fathers. It appropriates a suitable sum for the
erection of a public monument, in honor of the
Catholic soldiers who - have fallen during the war.
Our' City Fathers are evincing a most fervent zeal
in behalf ofthe Romish Church, to the utter exclu
sion of the Protestant. Perhaps Philadelphia,
Which has had a strange experience in matters
relevant to the subject, can inform us of theultimate
objects of this religious enthusiasm.

proprietor of the Wax Figures,” seemed to have en

withoutawaiting calls from agents or leoture com

There was a period .writers were

the States, drained the experimental drugs, however;
flourished and died, partially because the people be

explicit directions that the .Wandering Jew be in

Vla>i to Raise the Quota.
To the Editor of The Preset
. t with to proposes plan for raising our quota
from this city, that, I think, if adopted, will not
fail to raise it in a very short time. The amount of
bounty offered by the city and Government, I .think,
iB sufficient, but what U'wanted is something to stir
up the people and to set every one to work to fry
and get some one to go. In order to effect this, I
would suggest that Councils pass a bill paying ten
dollars to any person who brings an acceptable re
cruit immediately upon his being sworn in * if ten
dollars be not sufficient make it twenty.or twenty
five, and I will guarantee it will set a large force to
work at recruiting, which will raise our quota in a
very Bhoit time. Yours, D

w GE.EAT DTTsTJER’ AT THE LIBBT. '
[From' the Richmond Examiner, December 8.1
The Yankee officers at the Libby Prison will, wa
understand, celebrate their captivity, the present
week, by a splendid dinner, served up on the table
ti’hdte of the prison, and embracing a bill of fare un
equalled in Richmond or the South- since this cruel
WAr commenced. The viands for this recherche “re
union ” have been put up iq. the North, expressly
for the great occasion, and are now being redelved by
every flag-of-truce steamer. New York,. Phila
delphia, and Baltimore, are vicing with each other
in their lavish of money,’and the richness and ex
tent of their gastronomic contributions* The Con
federate authorities 1 have kindly seconded the gene
rous movement, and will act as chief cook and bot
tle washer on the stupendous occasion. A few out
side invitations have been extended to the “lean
and hungry” Richmond officials, not including the
Commissioner of Exchange, the commandant of the
Libby Prison post, the President, members of Cofr
greas, and the Cabinet.
Brigadier General Neal Dow will preside at the
head, and Colonel Straight at the foot of the table.
After the “removal of the cloth,” toasts, wit, and
sentiment—all at the expense of the Confederacy—
will be the order of the day.
We have been favored with a glance of an advance
proof of the bill of fare, and print its items, notwitk*
standing we are sure it will aggravate the feelings of
our soldiers inthe field, and the feelings of Confede
rate prisoners North, when they compare this sump
tuous living with their own poor and scanty fare.
Among the epicurian viands named in the bill to
sugar-cured ham, spiced beef, round of beef, beef
tongue; chickens, oysters in cans, pickled
ditto tomatoes, peaches, marmalade, soda crackers,
cheese, potatoes, “unions,** lemons,
extract coffee, condensed milk, chocolate, apples,
preserved peaches, preserved quinces, pound
fruitcake, wine, cordials, and a variety of entrees,
side dishes, etc.
Each consignment from the North and designed
for the feast, is put up a la Fulton, Btamped with hto
signet seal, “C. C. F.,” and distinctly marked
“From the Office of the Baltimore American.” So
there can be no mistake as to whom we hre in
debted, if any of the crumbs of the feast should fal
to our,lot. ~
We understand the fragments of the feast, if
ere left, have been generously tendered to the poor
of Richmond, who are Buffering from the effects of
the ligid blockade enforced by the Lincoln Govern*
ment. This is exceedingly generous in our prf
'fioner-guests, for which we are profoundly grateful*

from the Ohio Penitentiary. He stormed about the
Libby Prison floor among his little covey of brother ■*

cursing Morgan, Jeff Davis, and the Southern Coe
federacy, He declared that if the millenium was
coming next week God would put it off until the
North had crushed the South and trampied .it andL
