him from applying to those who, from education and re

appearance, affecting the head, throat, nose, fain, arc.,
progressing on with frightful rapidity, till death puts a

Das Alt Sohul-Haus an der Krick,
The following poem is writen in what is gen
erally called "Pennsylvania German." This is
a peculiar dialect, created by a strange mixture
of all the European German dialects, with a
large sprinkling of English words and pronun
ciations. It is passing away before the victo
rious progress of the English, and must ulti
mately become extinct. It will, however, al
ways remain as a curiosity in literature. This
poem, written by a Pennsylvania pastor, is here
inserted at the request of literary friends who
saw it in manuscript. It has, we believe, the
ring of the true vernacular.
Heit ishts exactly zwanzig Yohr,

Important, Captures in the Gulf.
From the National Intelligencer.
Capt. James Alden, of the steamer South
Carolina, reports two captures in the Gulf. One
was the schooner Ezilda, taken on the 30th
ultimo, and the Joseph H. Toone, which was
taken after a hot chase, at the entrance of Bar
rataria bay.
The Ezilda was cleared for Matanzas by Capt.
T. 0. Sullivan, of Cork, Ireland, but after she
sailed was commanded by William Anderson
Hicks, of Missippi, who resigned from the naval
academy in March, and was an officer on board
the pirate Sumter when she left New Orleans.
He had carried into Cienfuegos several prizes
taken by the Sumter, and when taken he was
on his way home via Havana.
The Joseph U. Taone was owned by William
H. Aymer, of New Orleans. Thomas Lewis,
late of the United states army, was a passenger
on board, and hcith have been sent to New
York as prisoners of war. Both vessels were
condemned as prizes.
The Ezilda was loaded with coffee, fish, peas,
eleven uses of muskets, six casks of mercury,
twenty-five loose muskets, and bayonets, and
one case of sabres. The Joseph H. Toone had
on board the following :
Two packages tobacco, 2 case cigars, 1 case
conserves, 5 cases guns, 17 cases guns, 38 cases
guns, 1 case percussion caps, 2 cases guns, 7
packages du., 68, R1.'1)01.111(18 of lead, 900 pounds
bags cuiteo, 1 e, 0 cigars, 12
bbls. patA,,h,ea du., I case paper, 1 do.
conserves, 1 ao. Immo:4J, 1,71 u pigs lead, 12
Bottles quicksilver, 200 kegs powder, 18 cases
merchandise, 1,208 blankets, 65 packages paper,
2,000 pairs blankets, 22 revolvers, 1 box 5,000
percussion caps, 1,557 guns, 20,000 percussion
caps, 203 guns, 100 bags coffee.
Commander Alden, in his communication ac
companying the official reports estimates the
number of arms captured at from 4,000 to 5,000
stand. Many of them are old flint-locks, and
some are entirely useless from age and rust.
The South Carolina has captured sixteen
prizes within three months.
THE "HEMS" OF RIOELMOND.—The city of
Richmond, the Ex/nu/ter says, is full of the
vilest licentiousness. Among all the loathsome
vices imported into it by the har r ies who pr,y
upon the army, that of gambling has become
so prominent and brazen as to defy public de
cency as well as law, intruding its allurements
on the most frequented parts of the roost puulic
decency appears to be easily winked at in the
license and corruption or the times, to which au
inefficient police dues all in its power to con
tribute. The painted dens of 6an I , '.lanciso and
"hal" of the old Federal city were not a whit
more diabolical than the ••saloons" on Main
street, Richmond. These resorts are presided
over by elegant gambling adventurers who may
be seen any day on the sti eet corners in the
dainty affectation of semi-military costume,
staring ladies out of countenance, or enticing
young men into their company. There is saw
to be now iu that city a sulta d ent number in
gamblers to form a regiment. It would be au
excellent idea to impress these - "soldiers of for
tune," giving them the alternative, of the wai
or the penitentiary.
THE Preussiscne fultr4a, a quarterly periocli--
cal, published at Berlin, s .ys the revolt of the
Bouthern people against the American Union
differs from every other revolt in history, anti
proceeds upon principles altogether unknown in
Europe. It is not a rebellion of the people
against an unrighteous and oppressive authori
ty, but of a dissatisfied class against the people.
It is a conflict between a stagnant conversation
and a genuine progress, between despotism and
liberty, between materialism, looking to its
private ends, and idealism looking to the good
of the race, between a relic of feudal barbarism
and the inspirations of the nineteenth century.
THE Farm= Srave.--One of the officers of
the Massachusetts Twentieth, who was in the
battle at Ball's Bluff from early morning until
late at night, states that he did not leave the
Virginia shore until nine P. M., when he found
a friendly negro, who in the hours of darkness

RELIC oa " OPILIR ."—An ancient skillet made
out of lava, and probably used in the mines
several thousand years ago, was washed out of
a hydraulic claim in California a few weeks
ago. It is circular, has a spout, the bowl is an
inch deep, and has three feet underneath two
and a half inches long, with a neatly-finished
oval-shaped bottom.

Art ELOPEMENT.—The Towa . nda Reporter gives
the following account of an elopement which
occurred in that county:--"One day last week,
an officer 'of the law,' from the eastern part of
the county, brought to this place a young man
to consign to . durauce vile,' charged with elop
ing with another man's wife. The case seems
to be a complicated one, notwithstanding the
'pale were lomat together ill the viciaity of
Uurniug, N. Y., under a petitions name were
passing as brother and sister. The lady is rep
resented as lair and intelligent, and of very
respectable parents, and .-as married several
ears ago, lunch against her will, and is mother
to two or three children, which she thoughtful
ly lett behind to give rc,oul to more 'valuable
Luggage,' when sue took her departure. As
the man with whom she was found had not
ueen lately seen in the neighborhood where sire
formerly resided, it puzzles the 'doctors' to ac
count for the •singular coincidence' of their
being found m the same place, under such pe
culla( circumstances. As the case will proba
ury be tried next term, and 'all things reveal
ed," we withhold the names Of the parties.
the young man was released upon giving bail
for his appearance
Rrcir Wrmoux MONEY.—Many a man is rich
without money. Thvfisands of men with noth
ing iu the pocket, and thousands without even
a pocket., are rich. A man born with a good
sound constitution, a good stomach, a good
hart, and good limbs, anti a pretty good head
piece, is rich. Good bone• are better than
gold—tough muscles, than silver and nerves
chat flash fire and carry energy to every func
tion, are better than houses and lands.
It is better than a landed estate to have the
right kind of father and mother. Good breeds
and bad breeds exist among men as ready as
among herds and horses. Education may do
much to check evil tendencies, or to develop
good ones ; but it is a great thing to inherit the
right proportion of faculties to start with.
That man is rich who has a good disposition—
who is naturally kind, patient, cheerful, hope
ful, and who has a flavor of wit and fun in his
composition. The hardest thing to get Along
with in this life is a man's own self. A cross,
selfish fellow—a timid, care-burdened man—
these are all deformed on the inside. Their
feet may not limp, but their thoughts do.
A FOUNTAIN OF FIRE.—On Wednesnay of last
week a big fountain well was opened on the
Blood farm, some five miles from the mouth of
Oil Creek, Venango county. The oil spouted
some seventy feet or more into the air. The
fire in the engine not being extinguished soon
enough, the whole mass burst into flame, burn
ing four or five men badly but not fatally. It
continued thus a magnificent fountain of fire
until Saturday. The ascending stream of oil
was only four inches in diameter, but falling
back seventy or eighty feet it made a column
some eight or ten feet through, and is described
by those who saw it in the night as the grandest
sight imaginable. All efforts to extinguish it
were fruitless until Saturday when a man took
the job for $l,OOO and succeeded. • •He dug a
ditch which he kept covered with plank, to the
main pipe to which he attached a crooked con
ductor and turned the oil away.
