The South Wind.
Balmy and soft as woman's sigh,
How gently steals the South wind by,
With incense on its wings ;
The trembling leaves it softly wreaths,
And to the listening forest breathes,
In sweet-toned w hisperings.
Like plantive music to the ear,
'Tis sweet yet ever sad to hear
That low wind's echoing moans;
It brings upon the heart a spell
A voice speaks in each rushing swell,
In tender melting tones.
That zephyr bears a million sighs,
And dews from ever flowing eyes
Arc wafted with its breath,
And mingle?! with the wind's low chimo
Come wailings from that far-off clime
Of Avoe, and pain, and death.
Blow on, soft breeze, a Northern gale
Shall ere long answer to thy wail,
And sweep Columbia's plains ;
And ever onward shall it bear
The voice of peace and freedom's air,
Where demon terror reigns.

THE FIRST OFFICER S STORY.
About two years ago I left tlic service.
I was tired of it ; and as I wanted some
more exciting employment, I joined a
whaler. We were unlucky somehow, I
bring no luck anywhere and we were
nearly empty. We were cruising up here
to the north, and thinking of making for
home, as the weather had changed ; and
the ice forms precious quick in those lati
tudes when it once begins. The captain
naturally wanted to hang on to the last
for the chance of another haul.
One bright afternoon, just after eight
bells, I made up the log and took it to the
captain's cabin. I knocked at the door,
and as nobody answered I walked in. I
thought it odd that the captain hadn't
answered me, for there he was, sitting at
his desk, with his back to me, writing.
I told him I had brought the log, laid it
down on the table behind him, and as he
made no answer, I walked out. I went
on dock, and the first person I met was
the captain. I was puzzled I could not
make out how he had got there before me.
"How did you get up here?" I said;
"I ju.t left you writing in your cabin."
4kI have not been in my cabin for the
last half hour," the captain answered, but
I thought he was chaining, and' I didn't
like it.
"There was some one writing at your
desk just now," I said; "and if it wasn't
you, you hid better go and see who it
is. The log is made up. I have left it
in your cabin, sir," and with that I walked
away.
"Mr. Brown," said the Captain, "you
must have been mistaken, lay desk is
locked. But come we'll go down and
sec about it."
I followed the captain into the cabin.
The log was on the tabic, the desk was
closed, and the cabin was empty. The
captain tried the desk it was locked.
"You see, Air. Brown," he said, laugh
ing, "you must have been mistaken the
desk is locked."
.1 was positive.
"Somebody may' have picked the lock,"
I said.
"But they couldn't have closed it again,"
the captain suggested; "However, to
satisfy you, I will open it and see if the
contents are safe, though there is not
much here to tempt a thief."
He opened the desk, and there
stretched riht across it was a sheet of
paper, with the words "Steer N. W."
written in an odd cramped hand.
The captain looked at the paper, and
then handed it to me.
"You arc right, Mr. Brown; somebody
has been here. This is some hoax."
We sat there some time talking, and
trying to guess what could be the object
oi such a joke, it joke it was meant to be.
I tried to identify the back of the man I
had seen at the desk with that of .any of
tho crew. I could not do it. It is true
I had at first taken the man for the cap
tain, but now points of difference sugges
ted themselves. I had not looked very
attentively at the figure, but still I was
under the impression that the coat it had
on was brown, and the hair which appear
ed under the cap seemed, as I remembered,
to have been longer and whiter than the
captain's. There was only one man on
board who resembled in the least the fig
ure I had seen. I suggested to the cap
tain that it might have been old Shicl,
the boatswain. lie did not like to suspect
the old man, who was a great favorite ;
besides, what motive could he, or indeed
EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE
any one else, have had in trying to change
the course of the vessel ?
Not to appear to suspect any one in par
ticular, the captain determined to have up
all the crew. We had them up, one by
one. We examined them, and made all
those who could write, write "Steer N.
W.," but we gained no clue. One thing
was very clear it could not have been
old Shiel, who wa3 proven to have been
forward at the time I was in the captain's
cabin. The mystery remained unsolved.
lhat evening 1 sat dnnkin
mv rrmcr
with the captain in his cabin
We were
neither of us inclined to be talkative. I
tried to think of home, and the pleasure
it would be to see old England again, but
still my thoughts wandered back to that
mysterious writing. I tried to read, but
I caught myself furtively peeping at the
desk expecting to see the figure sitting
there. y
The captain had not spoken for some
time, and was sitting with his face buried
in his hands. At last he suddenly looked
up and said :
"Suppose we alter her course to north
west, 31 r. Brown '"
I don't know what it was; I cannot
hope to make you understand the feeling
in my mind that followed those words ;
but it was a sense of relief as from a hor
rible nightmare. I was ashamed of the
childish pleasure I felt, but I could not
help answering eagerly, "Certainly ; shall
I give the orier V
I waited no longer, but hurried on deck
and altered the course of the vessel. '
It was a clear, frosty night, and as I
looked at the compass before going below
I felt strangely pleased, and caught myself
chuckling and rubbing my hands at
what I cannot say I didn't know then,
but a great weight had been taken, off my
mind.
I went down to the cabin, and found
the captain pacing up and down the small
space. He stopped as I came in, and
looking up, said abruptly
"It can do no harm, Mr. Brown."
"If this breeze continues," I answered,
"we can hold on for thirty hours or so,
but then I should think "
"But then we shall find ice. How's
the wind V
"Steady, north by east."
We sat down and finished our grog.
I had the morning watch to keep next
day. I was too restless to sleep after it,
so I kept on deck the whole of the day.
Even that did not satisfy me. I was con
tinually running into the top with my
glass, but every time I came down disap
pointed. The captain was as unquiet as
myself. Something we expected to hap
pen, but what it was to be we could form
no idea. The second officer, I
thought us both crazy; indeed,
believe,
I often
was in.
wondered, myself, at the state I
The night was bright, and the
captain
determined to carry on under easy sail till
morning.
Morning came; and with the first gray
l:ght I was on deck. It was bitterly cold.
Those only who have seen them can form
an idea of the delicate tints of a morning
sky in those northern seas. But I was in
no humor to appreciate the beauties of
natuie. There was a mist low down on
the horizon ; I waited impatiently for it
to lift. It lifted soon, and I could not be
mistaken beyond it I could see the
shimmer of ice. I sent down to tell the
captain, who came on deck directly.
"It is no use, Mr. Brown," he said,
"you must put her about."
f Wait' one moment," I said, "wait one
moment, the mist is lifting more; it will
be quite clear directly."
The mist was indeed lifting rapidly.
Far to the north, and west we could see
the ice stretching away in one unbroken
field. I was trying to see whether there
appeared any break in the ice toward the
west, when the captain, seizing my arm
with one hand, and pointing straight
ahead with the other, exclaimed :
"My God! there is a ship there."
The mist had risen like a curtain, and
there, sure enough, about three miles
ahead, was a ship seemingly firmly packed
in the ice. We stood looking at it in si
lence. There was some meaning after all
iu that mysterious warning, was the first
thought that suggested itself to me.
"She's nipped hard, sir," said old Sheil,
who, with the rest of the crew, was anx
iously watching our new discovery. J
was trying to make her out with the glass,
when the flash of a gun, quickly followed
by a report, proved that she had seen us.
Up went the flag, Union downwards.
We needed no signal to know her distress,
The captain ordered tho second officer off
into the boat. 1 watched hini as tie maue
his way over the ice with a few of the
men towards the ship. They soon returned
with eijrht ol the ships crew, it was a
dismal account they gave of their situation.
They might have sawed their way out oi
the ice, but the ship was so injured that
she could not have floated an hour. The
rgest of their boats were stove in, the
others were hardly seaworthy. Tliey were
preparing, however, to take to them as a
last resource, when our welcome arrival
out an end to their fears. Another de
tachment was soon brought off, and the
captain with the remainder of his crew
was to follow immediately.
I went down to my cabin, and tried to
think over the singular fate which had
made us the preservers of this ship's crew.
I could not divest myself of the idea that
some supernatural agency was connected
with that paper in the desk, and 1 trem
bled at the thought of what might have
been the consequence if we had neglected
the warning. The boat coming alongside
interrupted my reverie. In a few seconds
I was on deck. .
I found the captain talking to a fino old
sailor-like lookinsr old man, whom he in
troduced to me as Captain Squires. Cap
tain Squires shook hands with me, and
we remained talking some time. . I could
not keep my eyes off his face ; I had a
conviction that I had seen him somewhere,
where I could not tell. Every now and
then T seemed to catch at some clue, but
which vanished as soon as touched. At
last he turned to speak to one of his men.
I could not be mistaken there was the
long white hair, the brown coat. He was
the man I had seen writing in the captain's
cabin !
' That evening I and the captain told the
story of the paper to Captain Squires, who
crravely and in silence listened to our con-
jecturcs. He was too thanklul tor his
escape out of such imminent peril to
question the means by which it had been
brought about. At the captain's request
he wrote "Steer N. W.," and we compared
it with the original writing. There coul 1
be no doubt of it. It was in the same
odd, cramped hand.
Can any one solve the mystery?
The Position of a. Soldier.
He should stand with his heels close
together on the same line, the feet form
ing something less than a right angle, toes
turned out. The knees straight, without
restraint or stiffness ; the body erect on
the hips, the upper part inclining forward,
the shoulders squat e, not one up and the
other down ; arms hanging easy, little fin
ger on stripe of pantaloons. The elbows
should be held close, but not stiffly to the
body. Tho face should bo well to the
front, the chin drawn in, but not con
strained, the eyes looking to a point of
ground at a distance of eighteen paces.
Once get a man in this position, cause
him to throw out his left foot well and
firmly in marching, the pointed down
ball of the foot touches the ground, and
in four hours Tou have him m the move
of a soldier which he will never forget.
Keep him at this without carrying arms,
and mark time him.
Another point for the recruit, rarely
given, and essential at all times, particu
larly now that the warm weather is upon
us, is to have your hair cut close to your
head and your beard well trimmed. Ev
ery man should have his beard and hair
cut as much like the other as possible.
Men should be uniform in every appear
ance, and. should be sized in rank.
The men once in the- position given
above, the movements can easily be ac
complished, if done slowly at first, and
then in the proper time after. -
The most important drill now is the
loading and firing. Let that be done in
squads, and sec , that the rear rank men
attend.
One thing we do not want, and that is
"fancy drill." Avoid it. The present
Napoleon, one of the best artilleryso ldiers
known, says : "First give the recruit the
position of a soldier, next give him the
why and the wherefore of this position,
and then command clearly and concisely,
but avoid superfluity.
A leading mercantile nouso in

Colonel Kilswortli.
From the narrisburg Telegraph.
Col. Ellsworth was born in Saratoga
county, New York, in the year 1837, and
was therefore in his twenty-fourth year
when he fell. He was a student at West
Point Academy, and after leaving that in
stitution he removed to Chicago, where,
eight years ago, he arrived almost friend
less and penniless. His innate integrity,
with the force and energy of his character.
soon won him hoss of friends, until he
gradually rose to respect and position.
The exciting exploits of the French Zou
aves at Sebastopol led him to investigate
this description of drill. Coming to the
decision that the Zouave tactics were the
most efficient yet studied, he set to work
to organize a company of this character in
Chicago, by the title of "The Chicago
Zouaves After a practice of about a
year, a tour to the East was proposed.
Ihe novelty of their drill, their fantastic
dress, the precision of their evolutions,
attracted general attention, not only from
military men, but from the general pub
lic, and Colonel Ellsworth became known
all over the country as the originator of
the Zouave drill in the United States.
Col. Ellsworth at one time studied law
with Mr. Lincoln, and after Mr. Lincoln's
election to the Presidency, it was gener
ally understood that Colonel Ellsworth
would be attached to h:s person. It was
expected that he would be placed in some
important position in the War Depart
ment, but it is not probable that such a
position would have been in accordance
with his desires. Immediately upon the
outbreak of the war he sought active ser
vice, and came forward to New York and
commenced the organization of a Zouave
ltegiment from members of the Fire De
partment. The freedom and dash of the
Zouave drill exactly suited the spirit of
the firemen, and in an incredibly short
time a full regiment was obtained.
Colonel Ellsworth was exceedingly be
loved wherever he was intimately known.
The impression was sometimes entertained
by strangers that there was a degree of
affectation in his deportment, but those
that knew him best were his warmest and
most devoted friends.
The most melancholy reflection connec
ted with this sad and horrible murder,
aside from the loss which the country and
the service have suffered in Col. Ellsworth,
is the impenetrable grief in which it has
enshrouded the heart of one who had en
shrined the living hero in a glory known
only to a young heart's love, and to whom
he was affianced for the last three years.
The lady, who is spoken of as highly ac
complished, is the daughter of Charles E.
Spafl'ord, of llockford, Illinois. Of course
the sympathies of the world would only be
so many intrusions could they reach the
ears of the stricken lady, in the bereave
ment of her young love, and yet the coun
try will follow her with its condolence, if
only in the silent offerings of its sympa
thies and respect.
We can offer no more elegant tribute to
the memory of Ellsworth than by quoting
the following lines from the pen of John
W. Forney, which originally appeared in
the Washington Sunday Morning Chron
icle :
So young, so brave, so early called,
We mourn above his laurelled bier
nia name cn every heart enrolled,
To friends, and home, and country dear.
Struck by the traitor's reckless hand,
Falling without a chance to raise
His sinewy arm with flashing brand ;
And in the morning of his days,
Entering upon the eternal land.
He goes his waiting God to meet,
Without a sin, without a fear ;
And as he walks the golden street,
Of yon fair far and wondrous sphere,
The angels all their harps will bring,
And hymn their hoi' welcoming.
Southern Forts. The forts South
of Mason & Dixon's line, now in posses

States at the South number Icurteen,cost

The Proclamation of the Queen
of England.
The following is the proclamation of
Queen Victoria in relation to the Ameri
can war :
Whereas, we are happily'at peace with
all the sovereign Powers and States; and
whereas, hostilities have unhappily com
menced between the Government of the
United States and certain States Etyling
themselves the Confederate States of
America ; and whereas, we being at neaco
with the Government of the United States,
have declared our royal determination to
maintain a strict and impartial neutrality
between the said contending parties, wo
therefore have thought fit, by and with
the advice of our Privy Council, to issuo
our royal proclamation; and we hereby
warn all our loving subjects, and all per
sons whatever entitled to our protection,
that if any of them shall presume, in con
tempt tt this proclamation and of our
high displeasure, to do any act in deroga
tion of this duty, as subjects of a neutral
sovereign in said contest, or in violation
or contravention of the law of nations, and
more especially by entering the military
service of either ot the contending parties,
as
commissioned or non-commissioned
officers or soldiers, or by serving as officers
sailors or marines on board of any ship, or
vessel-of-war, or transport of, or in the
service of either of the contending par
ties, or by engaging to or going to any
place beyond the seas, with the intent to
enlist or engage in any such service, or
by procuring or attempting to procure,
within her Majesty's dominions at homo
or abroad,- others to do so ; or by fitting
out, arming or equipping any ship or ves
sel, to be employed a3 a ship-of-war or
privateer, or transport, by either of tho
contending parties, or by breaking, or en
deavoring to break any blockade, lawfully
and actually established by or on behalf
of either of the said contending parties, or
by carrying officers, soldiers, despatches,
arms, military stores or materials, or any
article considered and deemed to be con
traband of war, according to law, or the
modern usage of nations, for the use of
either of the said contending parties, all
parties so offending will incur and be lia

sequences by the said statute, or by the
law of nations, in that behalf imposed.
And we do hereby declare that all our
subjects, and persons entitled to our pro
tection, who may misconduct themselves
in the premises, will do so at their peril
and of their own wrong, and they will in
nowise obtain any protection from us

displeasure by such misconduct.

Secretary Seward on Treason.
The following letter from Secretary
Seward defines the law of treason in very
simple and forcible language :
Department of State, ")
Washington, May 1G, 1861. j
Str: I have received your letter of
yesterday's date, asking me to give you
in writing, my reasons for considering an
acceptance on your part of Governor Letch
er's proposition to purchase the steamship
Yorktown and Jamestown, recently siczed
by his orders and now in his possession,
jin act of treason. With this request I
readily comply. An insurrection has bro
ken out in several of the States of this
Union, including Virginia, designed to
overthrow the Government of the United
States. The executive authorities of Stato
are parties to that insurrection, and so arc
public enemies. Their action in seizing
or buying vessels to be employed in exe
cuting that design is not merely without
authority of law, but is treason. It is
treason for any person to give aid and com
fort to public enemies. To sell vessels to
them, which -It is their purpose to use as
shipa-of-war, is to give them aid and com
fort. To receive money from them in
payment for vessels which they seized for
the.e purposes would be to convert the
unlawful seizure into a sale, and would
subject the party so offending to the pains
and penalties of treason, and the Govern
ment would not hesitate to bring the offen
der to punishment. I am, sir, your obe
dient servaut. Wm. II. Seward.
