CHOICE POETRY.
MACAULAY AND THE WAR.
In these times of war, tho martial ring of Macau
lay'e battle-songa ebiiuo in well with tho tread of
serried rnnks and the crash of battle. They contain
lines not inapplicable to our own ttrugglc For in
stance, to the evade re of tho draft :
fcbfunc on the false Etrmenn
U bo lingers in hit homo,
When l'oraena of CIuhiuia
Ih uu the march tg home.
And tho remit of the call :
And now hath every eity
Sent up her tale of nn-n,
Tho loot aro fuur-score thousand,
The horse arc thousands ten.
Aud hero is what many a volunteer thinks rh he
goes to thenar to flyht tho hordes of our "ltil;c Sex
.us," riio Misisijippi Repudiate :
hen out spake bravo lioatiu,
'1 ho eaptaiu of the gate :
To every umn upon thi earth
I'eath eometh won or lute ;
And huweunuian die b-tter
Than faring IVat ful odd
For tho ashes ol hi fathers
Aud the temples of hid god 1
And for the tender mother
Who dandled him to reit,
And for the wife who liursca
jliphabyon her breast.
And tor the ludy luuidrtH
Who feed the itornal flame,
To suve tliein fmm false Situs
Thai wrought the d 1 of shame.''
Perhaps the historian of our war will in the next
renlury b able to recrd Ub. of the people of the
North :
Then Viotio wns fir a party ;
Thvn all w fur thef-tale ;
Tlien the great man helped the poor,
And the poor man led the great.
Then land were fairly pnrtinued ;
Then apoil were tuirly wild :
The Romans were like brutherrf
In tho brave day of old.
And the party politician- who still lingr around
our legi.-lative hall slenild remember that
An we wax hot in faethm,
Iu battle we na v 1
And here, hy the way. it n deeription w hudi prnves
that if the alieient Honian?1 were not bridge-burnt rs,
they were at least udepta nt bridge-breaking :
Now. with a era.h like thunder
Fell every loosened beam.
And, like a dam, the mighty wre-k
Lay right athwiirt the stream ;
And a long r-hout of triumph
ose from the wall ol liome,
A-to the hihect turret tops
Was tfpluhed the yellow foam. (
And. liko a horse unbroken i
When tirst he feeU the rein, j
The furioiM river struggled hard.
And tossed his tawny inane.
And hur-t the curb and bounded,
Kejoicimr to be free.
And whirling down, in fierec career,
ltattleiuent. and plank, and pier
1'uhhed headlong to the n-a.

of the river, half a mile in lireiullh. und of
iinlctinito length, and covi pal with six
inches of impalpable, dust, under rover of.
which sonic one hundred and fifty sutlers, !
sonic two thousand white men. live hundred
uailo (cams, and ten thousand neorocs move '
mistily nliout, hiding their deeds of dark- 1
new. There, aro a few scattered houses,
mostly of wood, till constructed w ith a due
regard to the circulation of air and dust, j
The dust takes H very niH'entleinanlv advan- :
tatre. of the opportunity, and forces its un
welcome prest nee into the most sacred
shrine. When the noklicM fust came, and
some tire no better now, they were fearfully
ra trued, but dust and perspiration made a
very e;ood substitute tor rlotliiu. Kvcry
thiiifr, is literally iainteil w ith dust. Nobody
Jirctends to try to keep clean. .Not a breath
of fresh air is to be had for love or money.
THK HOTLL.
Yes, my friends, there is a hotel in Helena.
It is a two-slory house, just behind the dus
tiest part ol tiro levee, anil lias one cool
p'.u.-o about it the open hull from front to
rear of the house, in the second story. The
dining-room is a low, hot, rickctty old
kitchen. The fare consists of roast pork,
boiled hum, tome very good vegetables,
since they ate not cookid in cistern water,
in which you can perceive, with the naked
eye, a large aud well selected assortment of
bugs, mostly of a brilliant red color, und
innumerable legs ; a drink, said to lie coll'ee,
but which I should call a decoction of tan
bark aud dish-water, and flies ttd lilitoii.
Tho landlord is Major somebody, very largo
and fat, and is always swearing ut niggers.
He is a rank Secessionist, and has a "muff
tah on his face." His daughters would be
pretty, but that they dip suulf, chew tobac
co, und bang from morning to night on a
wheezy, snorting old piutio of thu year one,
and tuned last ut the foundation of Home.
The old lady is as tut as her lord and mus
ter, talks like a yes, liko tiro nigger
wenches, and can lie like a Jew. For ull
this entertainment you pay two dollars und
hall' a day. There is no other hotel in the
place, which i surely a mercy, if they were
all like the Commercial.

tlieir life or their funds to find out choice
dunces to buy cotton for almost nothing.
They hire negroes to steal from their mus

and from each other. 1 renlly believe that
among those harpies Ihc rule of honesty
among thieves docs not hold, for thev skiii
each other without incrcy. They swarm out
on the roads leading into the country, and
meet wa;;ons earn ing cotton to the' levee.
There they cajole the drivers with whi-kcy
or money, and get them to cany it to some
other place than the one to which it was

not been sy.iti mat i.eil and kept under the
control of our oilieers, as it ought to have

been to make the army a set of robbers.
Soldiers will steal everything. 1 remember
ii good story of u Colonel of one of the
Ohio regiments in the areiv before Corinth.
A re-idi'iit of the country came into
his 1

The soldiers of this army, having hail
more experience than the ifencralily of
soldiers in the thieving ait, have uciiuired
tho greatest paion fur the amusement of
appropriating other people' goods. It is
not salt to have a horse without watching
for a -ingle moment. It' a soldier want u

and the la-t sad re-u!t of the vicious as-oci-miou-of
the steamboat men is .-ecu in the
follow im.; fact, w hich i have ju-t learned
from thebi-t aiilliorily : From Memphis,
to llehna the steamboats will, as a '.cry
great favor, carry sutlers' good-, but they
will not give bill- of lading for thein. nor
will they be rcspon-ililc. for loss. They
usually make the trip from Memphis in the
niu'ht, and after dark they go about among
the sutlers' goods lVraging. They break
open boxes ot wine and take out from one
to live boxes. They take halves of chee-e
and a heavy discount of the gingerbread,
crackers, bulter, f, and every manner of
eatable and drinkable that can be made
usi'lul on board a steamboat. Thus they
supply tlnmsclves without co.-t, and as they
have given no bills of lading, and are not
responsible for lo-s, they nr. "all light." and
charge it to the long account. Our delight
ful landlord makes the day hideous with
eomphii'.its of Ihc soldiers. They steal his
knives and folks, his tumblers, his snap and

When the officers of (iciurtil Steele's stall'

Memoir.
Mr. William Allen Butler, of this city,
contributes to the fmlririi'cnl some interest
ing reminiscences of Martin Van lUiren.
We, copy n few passages :
JACKSON AM) VAX IIVHKS.
"Just here, General Jackson's first impres
sions of Mr. Van Hurcti are in place. They
met in H'2't, at Washington, as senators of
the tailed States. The Tennessee senator
soon formed his opinion about the Xew
York senator. I will give his own narrative
as 1 listened to it under the porch of tin:
Hermitage in ls. . 'I had heard n great
deal about Mr. Van nuren,' said the General
'especially about his noit-imunitti'V.-on. 1
made tip my mind that I would lake an
early opportunity to hear him ttnd judge for
myself. One day an important Ftilijeet was
under debate in the Senate. I noticed that
-Mr. Van lluren was taking notes w hile one
of the senators was speaking. I judged
from this that he intended to reply, anil I
determined to be in my seat when he spoke.
His turn came, and he rose and made a clear
straightforward argument, which, to my
mind, disposed of tho whole subject. I
turned to my colleague, Major Kalon. who
sat next me: 'Major,' said 1, 'is there any
thing non-committal nliout that ;' 'No sir.'
said he. This decision of Jackson's head
was never reversed bv his heart."'
Mil. VAN lit lUCN S. PKUsONAi, 'Ht.HTS.
'After nil. it is not the law ver nor
the
i statesman, but the man, of w hom we must
; take the final account. Mr. Van Huron, in
'his personal traits, was marked by a rare
i individuality. lie was a gentleman, and
; he cultivated the society of oent leinen. He
i never had any a-soeiates who Were vulgar
'or vicious, lie affected the companionship
of men of letters, though I think his eouclu
I .-.ii im was that they are apt to make poor
'politicians and not the bc-t ol friend,
j Where he acquired that, peculiar nealne-s
and poii.-h manners which he wore so lightly,
and which served every turn of domestic,
, social and public intercourse, I do not know.
As far as my early recollections go it was not
! inilioonious in the social circles of Kinder
i hook. 1 do not think it was essentially
. Dutch. It could hardly be called natural,
' although it Seemed so natural in him. If.
! was not put on. for it never was put oil". As
' you, saw him once yon saw him always
always punrtilous, always polite, always
cheerful, always sclf-po-scssed. It seemed
i to any one who studied thi phase of his
character as if. in some early moment of
destiny, his whole nature had been bathed
in a cool, clear and unruffled depth, from
which it drew his life-lonir serenity and
self-control. Il was another of the ch
irgi s
against linn that he was no democrat. He
di'es-iil too well, he livid too Weil, the
company he kept was too good, his tastes
were to i leliued. hi tone was too elegant.
So far a- ih-moera' y is supposed to have an
elective al'.iuilj IV T dirt. Uiis was all trite :
he v no deiuoer.it, in taste or feeling, and
lie never pretended t' be. The only Presi
dent who ever betrayed the American people
i the only one of whom I remember lo have
seen it chronicled in the newspapers, as a
proof of hi democracy, that lie made a
parade of getting out of a -tage-coach in the
course of a hot journey and washing his
face iu a tin ba.-in and drying it on a tavern
towel. The people thought no better of
him for that Lit of deception, which d..cei
v ed no! an y.
"Mr. Van ISurcu never played sin h t.ieks
as these. As to ihc elements of tin- widc-t
populai ity. t hey were not in him. lie never
iii-pi"id eutiiu-i.i.-iii ii Jael;on did. or
Henry ("lay. 'Ihc ma-.-e- accepted him a a
leader, but thev never worshipped hiiu us a
hero. He I no! canonized in their affections,
; The day of his birth will not be l onnm nio
! rated in di.-tant cities or in remote periods
.of time. His name w'.il never lea wat h-
word. Vet he had many devoted fraud-,
' nnionof men who never v, anted olliee, and
i who drew cln-cr to him iu hi retirement
j than w hen he wilts in power. This much 1
icati testify, that on the part of one man,
I than whom no purer or nobler ever lived,
! he was the object of an ailection so true and
steadfast, o faithful through good report
and evil n 'port, so lo al to hi own high
i sense of duly, .-o tend' r and so gem Ton
that it could never cease to command my
admiration, if it had not long ago claimed
nivlilial reverence. Seen through a medium
so pure and trampiil, the traits of the char
acter 1 have attempted to draw arc all
tinged with it mellow light and glow wiih
it- genial warmth, and the faults or failings
which another and perhaps a ju.-tcr -enmity
might disclose fade out of sight.

"Mr. Viin Huron has left memoirs, partly
finished. If his reminiscences can be given
to tiie world a he was in the habit of giv ing
them to hi friends in all the freshness of
familiar intcreouc. tin y will bo mo-t
attractive. There was a charm about his
conversation w hen it turned on the incidents
of his personal experience which could hardly
be transferred to the printed page, so much
of its interest depended on manner ami
exprcs-ion. Mr. Van liuteii had no wit,
but he had humor, and a keen sense for the
humorous, and he could reproduce, with
rare tidclitv, wlnitever in the actions or the
character of men he had thought worth
remembering. It is to be hoped that out
of the material he litis left for such a work,
we may have one which shall represent to
us something of the real activities and
interior lives of those of whom we know so
little beyond their names and title, so that
they may seem to us more like living men
and les like mummies. At this present
moment we could hardly stop to lead such
a book, no matter how vivid and life-like,
lint after the storm and the carthnuake are
oyer, and we have learned to value the
republic by what it has co-t us in brave
lives, we, or eyes younger than ours, will
turn with new interest and delight to
whatever in literature or iu art slmll be
commemorative of those w ho have served it
best.

ABOUT COOKINa POTATOES
Potatoes Boiled,
AVa-h Iheni, but do not pare or cut them,
nnles they are very large. Fill a sauce-pan !
half full of potatoes of cipial size, or the t
small ones will be done to pieces before Ihc ,
large ones are boiled enough, (or make them i
-o by di iding' the larger one. ) put tothom
as much cold water as will coverthem abm:t -:in
inch ; they are sooner boiled, and more,
savory, than when drowned in water. M-,t
boiled things aie -poihd by having too lit- .
tie water, but potatoes nre often spoiled by
too much ; they must merely be covered,
and a little allowed for wa.-te in boiling,
so that they may bo just covered al tic
finish. Set them on a moderate lire till thev boil, .
then take them i ll', and put them by the
side of the lire to simmer slowly till they are
-oft enough to admit a fork, (place no de
pendence on the usual test of lheir skin
cracking, which, if they are boiled fast, will
happen to some potatoes when they are not
half done, and the in.-ides iplite hard.) Then
pour tlio water oil, (it you let tlio potatoes
remain iu the wilier a moment al'tct they are '
done enough, they will become vmixv and
watery, I uncover the sauce p in, and set it at '
such a distance from the tire as will secure
it fri 111 burning; their superfluous moisture
will evaporate, and tho potatoes will heptr- ,
fectly dry and mealy. 1
You may afterward place a napkin, folded
ti)) to the size of tho sauce-pan's diameter,
over the potatoos, to keep thi ui hot and
mealy till wanted.
This method of managing potatoes is in
every respect equal to steaming them ; and
they are dressed iu half the time.
There are such an infinite variety of tnnts
and siz.es of potatoes, that it is impossible to
say how long they will takodoing ; the be-t
way is to try them with u fork. Modcratc
srzed potatoes will generally be done enough
in fifteen or twenty minute. 0rmir,tk
