REBELLION muss.
The Battle of Pittsburg Landing.
BY DAVID CIOSUBN:

The shouts of bold freemen on Tennessee i s shore
While Beauregard's hosts, in battle stray,
The rag of the traitor and tyrant display.

•They stand tty the fLig o'er their fathers that we*
And fight fa the land those heroes hatt.eaYett,..„.
No true to their standard, they danger will dare;
The carnage of battle so fedriessly share,
That shows to the world that we will elnfee
And blot from ctn. Laud foul Treason's disgrace.
.itut strong were our five that thronged o'er the
field—
That sought by their numbers to force Us id yield,
While o'er the ground the liesim or the slain
Lay mangled and tteding—rill deer the thrift.

Suktrendis o'er the field the cannon's dread sound.
From evening till morn; our meh iii array
Cross over the river to join in the fray;
The sleep from their eye-lids is driven 4sMyt
They rest on their arhis till break of the day,
Then Buell ant& Grant. with Wallace and Bruce,
By the fire of example, ou r soldiers induce
To deeds of true courage, as heroes diqptuyed,
And ne'et froth their brows those laurels shall fade
Though thousande were slain, and carnage was

And the minions of Beauregard haste to retreat.

There was once a poor widow Woulati's
eon that was going td look for sdriice, and
one winter's evennig lid came to farmer's
strong house, and this house was very near
an old castle. 'God save all here,' says he
when he got inside the door: 'God sate
you kindly,' says the-farmcr. 'dente to the
fits. 'Could you give me a nights lodging?
Says the boy. 'That we will, and welcome,
if you will only sleep in a comfortable room
in the old castle abovd there, add you must
have a fire and a candle-light and whatever
soil lid to drink; and if you're alive iu the
'morning, I'll give you ten guineas.'
" • 'Sure I'll be live enough if you send no
OW to kill me.' I'll send no one to kill
you, you may depend. The place is haun
ted ever since my tether died, and three or
four people that slept in the same room .were
found dead next morning If you can ban
ish the spirits give you a gooi limn and
my daughter, so that you can like one anoth
er wali enough to be Married. Ne'er say' t
twice. I've a middling safe conscience, and
don't fear an evil spirit that ever smelled of
brimstone.

with a roaring tire in the grate, and a table,
With a bottle and glass toothier on it and the
kettle ready on the hub. They bade him
good night, and God speed, and went off as
if thejdn't think their heels were- half
swift enough.

A Otitious Hog Story.
The correspondent of The eineinnalge.
Thrum with Gen. Mitchell's command is re
sponsible for the thllowing yarn.
The hogs in this part of the country are
musically inclined, and all come up to break
fast to the trine or "Pixie." On every plan
tation, the oldest •darke?' has the honor of
',Lying music to the hops for about an hour
every morning: and from • the very moment
when he commences, till the end of the piece
the shrill, piercing notes of the hogs are
heard coining from all directions, and blen
ding With the music of the darkey, from the
full grown sow to the smallest of the litter ;
these notes are audible a mile distant. I
can never ftwget When I first witnessed - the
scene. and for the life of me I could not tell
or make omit what it meant.
"I asked him what tune he liked best and
played most to rally the hogs ?" he respon

can it be possible that the Southern chivalry
and Southern hogs march to the same tune ?

Largest city in the World,
A very .eironemis idea is indulged in by
many people in relation"to the hugest eityin
the world, many coufidently , „asserting that.
London, or, us it is frequently torttrod, the
Great Metropolis, is far superior, both in
size and the number of its inhabitants. But
such is not the ease. Jeddo, the capital of
Japan, is, without exception, the largest and
most populous city in the world.
It contains the Vas . t number of 1,500,000
dwellings, and 5,000,000 of httneui souls.—
Many of the streets are nineteen Japaneser
ies in length, which is equivalent to twenty
two English miles.
The eotnincret of Jeddo far exceeds that
of any other city in world, and the sett along
its coast is constantly white with the sails of
ships. Their vessels sail to the Southern
portion of the empire, where they are laden
with rice, tea, sea coal, tobacco, silk, cotton
and tropical fttiits i 'fill of Which can find e

not require wealth, or position, or fame; on

spires. Given child a chance to love to
`play; to exercise his itnaginations and affec

conditions of health, simple food, air, exer
cise, and a little variety in his occupations,
and he will be happy, and ovuld iu happi

There #s a pretty Persia.) apologne on the
difference between mental and corporeal
suffering. A king and his minister wore

but not seize the lamb, and put food also be
