YE SECESSER--•HIS SOLILOQUY
BY ADRIAN T. GORHAM
hamlet's fanius sfi'v z$ 7hus nicr.ity paro
dud by the Vermont pod.
To run or not to run, that is the question :.
Whether 'tis better to stand firm, and face
them,
These Yankee cowards, nigger•stealers, mud
sills ;
Or, trusting to my legs, well-tried and nimble,
Turn and scratch gravel homeward? To fall—
• to die—
Dreadful!—and lie upon the blood-stained
field, •
With pallid vissage, horrid, gaping wounds, .
Cold and inanimate—'tis a final ending
Becomes - not Southern birth. To fight—to
f ight—
Yes, to FIGHT !—perhaps get licked—ay!
there's the pinch !
Forof Pm a prisoner ta'en, these Lincolnites
Will treat me to a hempen cnil that
Can't shuffle off— a barbarous way
To rob a valiant Southron of his life ;
For who of noble blood could bear the jeers,
The vulgar scorn, the ear appalling shouts,.
The insolence of rustics, sad the spurns
Of greasy Northern farmers and mechanics,
While he a ceiminal's quietus takes
Upon the gibbet? Who, of southern birth,
Would grunt, and sweat, and drill, from morn
tilt night,
But that the thought of long and athlete limbs
To bear him swiftly froth the battle-field
In case the hireling lammed him, cheered his
mind?
And I, for one, had rather fly my foes
Than fight 'gainst numbers that I know not of;
For Lincoln's hosts make coirards of us all,
And sabre-bayonets shake resolution
That else were firm but far the dreadful thought
Of death, pierced through and through with
•
gleaming blades— •
Of Northern dungeons—abolition mobs
Clamoring for blood—the gallows and the
grave :
0 wofui !—woful picture ! See ! they come--
The cussed Yankees! Lie there, old fusee!
Here goes to save my bacon !

HOG STRATEGY.—The feeding of sot
diers on pork, seems to hai-e 'a philoso
phy in it. It is the meat of the best
tactician among brute animals.
Silli
man's Journal gives the following . cori
ens illustration of this : "A gentleman,
while traveling some years ago, through
the wilds of Vermont, perceived at a
littla distance before him a herd of swine,
and his attention was arrested by the
aOtation ihey exhibited. He quickly j
perceived a number of feint pigs in
the centre of the herd, and that the hogs I
were arranged about them a conical
form, having their heads all turned out-
Ward. At the apex of this singular tone
a hugh boar had placed hiniielf, Who
from his size, seemed to be the master of
the herd. The traveler now observed
that a famished wolf was attempting, by
various' manceuvres, to, to seize on the
pigs iu 'the middle ; but, Wherever he.
made an attack, the huge boar at the a.:
pes of the cone presented himself—the
hogs desterduSly arranged themselves :
on each side of him, so as to preserve .
the position Of defense just mentioned.
'I he attention' or the traveler was for a
itiothent withdrawn; and upon 'turning .
to view the combatants, lie Was surpris
ed to lied the lierd of sine diSPers'ed,
and the Weir no longer to be Seen. On
riding up to the spot, the Weir Was dis-
Miv,red dead on the ground, a rent :
be
ing rinideln morn thah a foot in
length—the boar, no doubt, having'seiz
ed a favorable opportunity, and with a
Sudden`pleage diSpritehed hiS ii&erSary
With h 6 l'orml'able tusks. It is a lit
tie reMark;Lide that the haeient RomatiS,
among the various methods they devis 7
ed for ilrawin up their armieslti battle,
had one exactly resembling thb posture
assumed by the swine above mentioned.

facturer has lately commenced the erec

workmen engaged in digging, the founda
tions, a few days since, exhumed a hu
man skeleton—evidently that of a sol
dier, as the traces of military uniform
still clung to the whitened bOues. But
a must singular corroboration of this
supposition was in the fact that a small
bullet hole was found to have been
pierced through the frontal sinus„ and
in moving the figure the bullet was
heard to rattle in the c ivity of the skull.
The remains were car,fully remoVed and

Strong, of IlartfOrd, Whnse name i s siill
a praise in the churchei, bad an Un
fortunate habit. of saying amusing things
when he,tneant it .not so. As when he
was presiding in a meeting of ministers,
and wishing to call on one of them to
come forward and offer , prayer, he said;
" Brother Colton,
Of Bolton, .
.you step this way
And:pray ?" . ,
To which Mr. Colton • immediately
answered, without
.intending .to perpe
trate anything of the same sort ;
" My dear brother Strong,
You do very , wrong,
To be•makiug a rhyme.,_,
At this solemn time."
And then Dr. Strong added
" I'm very sorry to see .. •
That you're just, like me." ,
The good men would not, for the
world, have made jests on such an oc
caston hitt they could plead the same
excuse for their rhymes that the-boy
did for whistling . in 'school : I didn't
whistle, sir, it Whistled itself!"
TIN HOLY LAND.-It is said thatihe
Sultan of 'Turkey is" encouraging 'the
emigration of the Jews to Palestine, and
he offered to sell them as much land as
they choose'. to .buy ; and that he even
hints at a willingness to dispose 'of the
Mosque of Omar, which stands second
Only to Maces as a sacred shrine.
All this seems almost incredible, but
his majesty is hartrtip, and is willing ,to
Part with anything that, he has for the
ready cash. 1.1 e has led a Particular fast,
life, and he has been thoroughly plucked
by his favorites of every deicription.
Whilst lie and other oppressors of the
chosen pe,)ple have been, growing poor,
the children 'of Threal have, been be
coming rich. They hold 'the purse
strings of Europe, and are able to buy
all Jerusalem 'whenever the owners are
disposed to sell. Can it be .possible
that the'. Turk` will sell out, and that
men of this generation will liVe to see
the Restoration of Isreat, to the Holy
Land ? •
AFA TII ; ER ' S v 2.—The Temps
publishes the following extraordinary
statement , , ,
Much has been said for thelast two
days of a drama of which an aristrocrat
ic religious bearding-school in. the Fa
bourg St. Germain was the theatre.—
Two young ladieS were playing during
the hours of recreation, when one Struck

GLEANING iN FaANTIC. , --An affecting
and beautiful law of kimiciess to the
poor has . ju'at, been decided by the Cimrt
of higliest jurisdiction itrFrance. It is
this. In the entire country no farmer
has a, right to drive his sheep or cattle
into any field that he' has reaped—or
vineyard that be has gleaned—until at
least two days after the crops hat%e been
taken off; and durivg, thislime the poor
are to be allowed to go 'in and gather
up the leavings. In order, too, that they
may have a full chance of obtaining good
in this way, he is never allowed t'o let
out, the privilege 'of gleaning from his.
fields for payment, but is to leave them
Open for all.

TOE NEW FRENCH UNIFORMS —A. cor
respondent of one of our cotemporaries,
writing froin tVashington, thus alludes
to the "new Zouave uniforms, recently

with Erie boys, ,•coming 0ut..,t0 show
their new uniforms:brought from France

The breeches are about three feet across

large cape down to the knees, with • a
hood fastened on to the back 'of' it ;
tight cloth skull cap, With a'tassel, and
a dreis 'parade 'eat,, 'which `very much
resembles our Old patent' leather mip.—
This cap has aidnine of red, White and
blue feathers. Theie was great compel
tition for these uuiforms and equipments.
Col. Black and Col, McLane were the
victors. The hrie boys got theirs one
day sooner than . Col 13Iack, The con
sequence was they were
,nearly crazy
with joy. If you would ask them any
thing, they would say, " Everybody
thinks Ws a big thing." lam sure it is
the ugliest garment on the banks of the
Potomac. All day Sunday, Col. Black's
men were busy gettin'g, up their new
tents, which came with the uniforms.—
The tents are pure linen, •circular; seine
eighteen feet in diameter, and will
accommodate sigteen men ; they have
a pole iu the centre, around which is a
complete rack kir guns; &c."
