11Y J. V. ENGLE.
I'll ne'er again my sword unsheath ;
No' while I live niI while I breathe,
I'll kevku draw it more!
The ruin, shame and deep despare ;
The groans that swell the tainted air f
The seas of human gore,
That glare on man with visasre grim,
And call for vengeance up to IJim
ror nature s L-ieeuuy eiore.
The murder on the least pretence ;
Th anguish wrung from innocence,
The insults of the base,
All follow war's exulting blast
Nor heed the lessons of the past.
And daily prayers for grace.
Oh! cruel war thy bloody h-iad.
Brought, if. all quarters of our laud,
The blush to virtue's face.
Ambitious men uuveil the art
liich strikes a nation to the heart,
And makes dishonor bold.
What care they for the human race ?
They only seek for pow'r and place,
As tyrants did of old
They'd have a scepter and a crowa
To uow conti.iing peopiu down,
And hoard ill-yotten y-ld.
But human tongue can never tell
Low Christians (?) oft aspire to hell,
Though p!tns vhey appear
One hard will clasp the 15ook of God,
The other wield the Iron Hid ;
Yet tiiky ne'er" shake the spear"
For such the people dare and die.
When battle's smoke obscures the sky.
And shrouds a scene most drear.
If e'er I draw the shining sword
To battle for that heartless horde,
May vengeance nn me pour ;
Oa! sever shall Istrike again,
And help to cause so much of pain
No.never.KEVF.it more!
Down. Down my blade, tlie scabbard' thine,
You'll ne'er aain form battle's line, ,
Nor t.iste of human gore!
Parson Brownlow in Proper Company.
I'arson lhownlow lias found las level
at last. He is now traveling with a ne
gro and speaking from the same platform.
The darkey is a professional man, a Dr.
lfaudolph, from New Orleans. They are
both members of the Committee appoint
ed by the Mulatto Convention, to which
John V. (Jeary was a regularly accredi
ted delegate, for the. purpose of following
in the track of President Johnson and ef
facing the deep impression mado on the
minds of the masses by his speeches.
We want it understood that we do not
mean that IJrownlow has in any way let
himself down by thus associating with a
negro. If Dr. Randolph is a respectab'.e
darkey, be ought to feel degraded by inti-
mate association with the Ihimstone par-
60 They both spoke at Boston a day
or two since, and the speech of the negro
teas more decent than that of the white
blackguard who preceded him.
A Ye would suggest to the Republican
State Central Committee the propriety of
their employing this Sable Dr. Randolph
to take the stump for (Jeary. He is not
one whit more in favor of negro equality
than are Tliad. Stevens, John XV. Forney,
and the rest of the men whose pliant tool
John XV. Geary is. I5y all means let us
have a lew speeches from one of the negro
race for whose benefit the Radicals are
laboring so zealously. Let us hear what
the negro has to say in his own behalf.
It is not fjtir to keep him in the back
ground. Lot then trot out a few repre
sentatives of the "race that bears the
palm." We do not want to see the negro
member? of the Committee kept in the
Uaekgrouni when it visits Pennsylvania.
If they are good enough orators for an au
dience of Massachusetts Radicals they
ought to be good enough to address any
Republican Mass Meeting in the Keystone
State. Intelligencer.
Infamous.
Forney's iVcau of last wrek tries to
make political capital out of the terrible
accident at Johnstown. It publishes a
letter from a correspondent at that placo
reflecting severely upon President John
son, and abusing him because the train
was not delayed in its departure. It
mattered not to this, infamous .slanderer
that a schedule o a railroad has to be
promptly carried out to prevent collissions.
Of course, he knew that. But" here was
a chance to vilify and abuse the chief
magistrate, and it wa promptly seized
upon. There is no journal except the
I'ress sufficiently lost to decency to do
such a thing or we have seen none at
least. No man not utterly lost to self
respect would permit the publication of
such an iufauious article.
DISTRIBUTED ALIKE, UPON THE
The Radical Riot at Indianopolis.
The outrageous abuse of President
Johnson f.om the pens and tongues of the
radicals ' lias at last culminated in fomc
thiog laorsefiouffji The - people of Indi
anopolis have disgraced themselves and
the country by preventing the 1 'resident
from speaking, and by getting up a mur
derous riot before his very face. Instiga-
ted by the radical leaders, a band of !
rowdies and ruffians made an attack upon
the processiMn who had turned out to
receive the President ; smashed the torch- i
es, tore up the banners and hissed and
hooted Mr. Johnson when he attempted
to express his thanks for the welcome ex-
tendod to him. These rowdyish proceed-
ings being resisted, a general tight ensued
in the" square which the President over
looked, and clup?, knives and pistols were
freely used. At least two persons were
killed and several dangerously wounded.
Of course the radicals will endeavor to
extenuate this shameful affair on the
ground that Mr. Johnson has provoked
hostility by political speeches. But in
point of fact there is not the slightest cx
cuse'lo be offered for the authors of this
riot. Wo arc r.o sticklers for that divini
ty which doth hedge a king; but certainly
:he office of President of the United States
is entitled to respect, aud this respect, in
form at least, extends tn the individual
who holds the office. If tho President
desires to speak, it is the duty of every
good citizen to either listen respectfully or
walk away quietly. This much is due to
the olltce which is the highest, as it ought
to be lhe most honored in the whole world.
Rut besides this the ordinary courtesies of
life and the sacred rites of hospitality
ought to have protected the President
froin personal insult during his tour.
When Mr. Lincoln traveled from Spring
field to Washington he was comparatively
unknown to the masses of the people, and
ninny emflfcrats- hatad and despised him
most bitterly ; but nobody thought of
hooting him down when he endeavored to
speak. At Indianopolis, as Mr. Johnson
was permitted to say nothing, the radicals
cannot claim that tho disturbance was
excited by any remarks of his. Much as
they affect to deride his utterance?, they
are afraid to let the people hear him, and
all through his tour, at every place in
which they had a majority of the popula
tion, they have interrupted and annoyed
liitu. Other means of silencing him have
failed, they now have recourse to a riot
and tire pistols at those who assemble to
cheer him.
We confesi that we should not have
been surprised if one of the pistol shots
tired during the Indianopolis riot had
killed President Johnson. This is what
the radicals have been threatening to do,
and what they will d : if they can muster
up courage. Their incendiary rantings
aud ravings will end iu assassination, un
less they find some less dangerous mode
of getting rid of the man who stands
boldly between them and the accomplish
ment of their revolutionary schemes
We warned the 1 'reeident to be upon his
guard 'when he lirst started upon this
tour, and the pistol shots at Indianop.jlis
now emphasize our warning. lielbre
long, if the present crusade against Mr.
Johnson continues, we shall see some
radical Booth eager to distinguish himself
in the same infamous and cowardly man
ner. " The danger is more imminent than
most persons imagine. We shall breathe
more freely when the President is once
more sate at Washington. IBs loss to
the nation at such a crisis as this would
be incalculable. We caunot realize the
situation in which his death would leave
the country. Let us, therefore, beg the
Presiden to take care of himself and his
suit to take care of him. We do not in
tend to excite unnecessary alarm ; but
their is really room for the gravest appre
hensions. Those radicals who threaten
murder so savagely are none too good to
do it, and those rutliaus who shoot down
the President's supporters will not long
hesitate to fire at the President himself.

HIGH AND THE LOW, THE RICH AND
INDIA.
A Fearful Picture of Suffering.
A correspondent of the London 'Times,
writing from Calcutta on July GI," give a
fearful picture of the suffering caused by
the famine-in India. He says:
I started for Midnapcre, a civil station
about 70 miles southwest of the capital,
on the morning of the -Gih of June, and
had hardly proceeded some seven miles
when commenced the painful sights which,
i varying only in intensity, continued until
; I again returned to this place. Pain had
j fallen heavily during the night, and the
I palki men were trudging slowly through
j tle mud, when a little after day-break I
saw two bodies under a tree
there
seemeu to oe a sugnt motion in
i
one, I
alighted, and on going up to it found,
covered under an old cloth, with just a
spark of life left in him, an old man slow
ly djing from hunger. He appeard as if
he had a thin piece of transparent India
rubber tightly drawn over his skeleton
frame, so enianciated had he become. I
gave him some beer, and he slowly faltered
out his tale of woe. He said thatheand his
companion had left their homes, after
seeing their families die from the effects
of cholera or famine, and had got thus
far-on their journey toward Midnapore,
hoping to get relief there, when one,
struck by damp and hunger, dies on the
road under a tree, and the other wakes to
find his friend a corpse, and himself, ex
hausted and drenched by the heavy rains
that had fallen during the night, unuLle
to move. The dogs and jackals feast off
the body, while this living skeleton but a
few paces off is unable to prevent them
lie faintly begs from the passer-by, but in
vain. Hunger is gnawing their vitals
also. They all turn a deaf ear to his cry.
The beer seemed to revhe him, and 1
went to my palki to get seme biscuits,
but returned to find the poor sufferer in a
state of coma, and in a lew minutes he
was dead. The half-picked body of his
companion attested his tale. I continued
.ray journey, passing at intervals the dead,
as they lay unburied and in every Etage
of decomposition on the side of the road.
Sometimes I would sec a cluster together.
In one place there were twenty-two bodies
within the space of half a mile; in an
other six close together, all more or less
mangled and torn by the jackals, dogs and
vultures. Pushing my way through the
jungle and over paddy fields, often obliged
to swim sundry streams swollen "hy the
late floods, in one of which my palki wus
upset, 1 traversed one hundred and twenty
miles of country, when I reached the
house of a Mr. Falls, an assistant in
Messrs. Watson ccco's indigo concern
here. That gentleman informed me that
a woman had died by the roadside, and
that a living child was said to be at her
brcaft. lie sent out his servants,' who
returned saving that thev had found the
corpse and the child, but the mother's arm
clasped the latter so tight that iu bending
it back, stiiF and cold, it broke. They
say that the living and the dead had been
thus linked together for two days; it any
rate, the poor little infant, exhausted by
exposure and want, -died as it was being
released. The above gentleman aud my
self were traveling through a dense jun
gle. Miles away from any human habi
tation we perceived a famished native of
the Sonthal tribe, lying on the ground, he
had thrown himself down to meet a cer
tain death ; but a little brandy rekindles
the vital spark, and, loth to leave him to
be a prey for the jackal and leopard, we
had him placed on the roof of a palki.
The palki bearers, however, refused to
budge an inch, salving that their - caste
would be gone, 'tiuavihr in jio.o," is
tried, but ' no go ;" "jbrtihr iu re " then
came into play. They murmered, looked
at the palki, asked for a bottle of grog,
and then trudged along with their tipsy
burden. The brandy had been too strong
for him- I am glad to add that in twenty-four
hours after this the burden was
walking about. The misery entailed by
the famine has I rought out all the worst
qualities of the lower dasr of native s. As
a rule, affectionate and fond of their
homes, they have ki too u;any instances
fled, leaving their wives and families to
starve ; but as nu eye witness iu two
where nobler feelings held their sway, I
here record them : A woman with her
three young chilJren, crawls up to a plan
ter's house just as luncheon was being
carried from the table'; the begs for the
remainder of tho curry and rice, w hich
are at once taken out into the veranda
and placed before her. Without attempt
ing to eat, the quietly sets the threo chil
dren round the dish, who in a few minutes
demolish its contents, and although the
mother is wasted to a skeleton, yet, num-
THE POOR.

LT;!ig her thanks, she turns away grateful
that her ot'spring have been led, eeu
while she, herself, still hungercth. In
another ilhtge we met a little girl and
her mother, lying under a mango tree.
Both wvto faint from hunger ; they had
been trying to keep life together by feeding
on snails picked out of ponds, berries and
lizards, whero they could obtain them,
but daily feeling weaker they had sunk
down under a tree awaiting a linerin"
death. We got some boiled rice and put
it before them. The young-iris the stron
ger, the mother is too weak to raise her
self. Although the child's big eyes flashed
with a hungry gleaui, j et her little hands,
well filled first seek the mothers mou'.h.
and not until half the rice is thus gone
docs she herself cat. It is impossible o
judge of the numbers that have died.froni
actual want, as no returns are kept ; but
taking the three districts of Balasore,
Cut tack and Midnaporej I should say
quite 1,200 a day. In Balusore large
plague pits have had to be dug near the
towns to receive the bodies of those found
dead near their precincts, but iu too
many instances the bodies are left to rot
on the roadside.
A Snare, Cuaume:i Bittdx. Tha
Bufl'.do Jlrpress says : On Tuesday night
last, Costello, the well known Snake
Charmer," gave an exhibition of his sin
gular power over these dangerous reptiles
on the stage of the American Theatre.
He handled carelessly, but with the ut
most impunity, a large number of freshly
caught and venomous rattlesnakes, of a
very large size, twisting them around his
body, placing a number of them iu his,
bosom and around his neck, mid giving
undoubted evidence thfit they were under
certain circumstances perfectly at his com
mand. The performance being over,
Costello was descending the sfairs leading
from the theatre to the saloon, with a
number of snakes inside his shirt and
around his person, being pressed upon
and jostled by the crowd, some of whom,
it is to be hoped thoughtlessly struck the
snakes which were around him. This
excited their ire, as he suddenly cried out
that he was bitten, and entering the sa
loon took oft his shirt, when it was dis
covered that the venom of the make had
taken effect in his right shoulder, which
in a few moments sweljed to a frightful
