SONG OF 'THE CAmP.
,. n.ve us a song,” the soldier eried,
* Tbe outer trenches guarding,
iffhen the heated guns of the camp allied
aW vreary of bombarding. .
ke dark Redan in silent scoff
f iV&rim and threatening under,.
And tW tawny mound of the Maiakofl
■^jlo longer belched its thunder.
fhere was a pause—a guardsman said,
11 \Ve storm the forts to-morrow;
iine while we may, another day
8 Will bring enough of sorrow.’
ten lay along the battery side
Relow the smoking cannon,
grave hearts from Severn and from Clyde,
^ And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, but not of fame ;
Forgot was Britain’s glory :
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang “Annie Laurie.”
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
gese like an anthem quick and strong,
Their battle-eve confession.
pear girl, her name he dared not speak,
Yet as the song grew louder.
Something upon the soldier’s cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunset’s embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire of Hell
Rained from the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot and burst of shell,
And bellowing of mortars.
And Irish Nora’s eyes are dim—
For a singer grim and gory,
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of Annie Laurie.
Go, soldiers, to your honored rest,
Your truth and valor bearing—
The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring.
A correspondent of the Mobile Register
sends that paper the beautiful verses given
lb0Ve, and wants to know who wrote them.
They were written during the Crimean war
Bayard Taylor, present minister of the
United States to Germany. As the Register
/died ‘to give the information, we thought
tre would.

A BOLD ATTEMPT.
In reply to a note from Captain
J. B. Eads, asking for the facts in
the case, General McLellan, acting
levee agent of the New Orleans
Tow-boat association, states that J.
W. Black, then acting as manager
of the association, did direct him to
instruct Captain Kiddle to ground
two ships in South Pass, in towing
them out. He says that he declined
to give such instructions. Mr. Black
then sent for Captain Riddle, who
also states in a card that Mr. Black
told him that he was determined to
block the channel, and gave him in-
structions which he, in conjunction
with Captain Flynn, declined to
obey. !
The ostensible object of grounding 1
these ships in the South Pass was to j
retaliate upon the contractors at the j 0rricEKS_M
jetties,’for using one of their boats;
in towing vessels; but the purpose j c.Y™,, -i»« w»tu«.
was evidently to destroy navigation j Georg** Jackson, M. B. Loyd, C. 11. Ligbee,
, r " . . . . , J II). C. Bennettf J. Q. Sandiiige.
m South Pass, which has been made
navigable by the jetty system.
The Picayune in referring to this
correspondence, vouches lor the
standing and reputation of the gen-
tlemen who made the charge. This
is one of the boldest and most auda-
cious attempts to injure a great na-
tional work, merely for the purpose
of perpetuating a monopoly, that
we have ever heard of. Commerce
has always been subjected to onerous
burdens, owing to the extortionate
charges of the tow-boads. This as-
sociation is willing to destroy the
prosperity of New Orleans and the
entire west and south, provided it
i can hold commerce tributary to it.
i Mr. J. VY. Black, in a letter to
j Capt. Eads, which is published, de-
nies the charge so far as it applies
to himself, but states that he was in-
structed, as acting manager of one
of the companies, at a meeting of
the old companies, to use his best
ondeavors to block the jetty bar,but
that he refused to do so.
The Londan Times recently pub-
lished a telegram from Queensland
stating that “ Lady Kennedy (wife
of the governor) had given birth to
twins, the eldest being a son. Some
days later it was called upon to
make a retraction. Reuter’s Tele-
gram Company explained that the
message received from Australia
con tainted the words “ twins—first
son,” but being informed that Sir
Arthur Kennedy was unmarried, a
telegraphic repetition was deman-
ded. It was then learned that the
words really telegraphed from
Queensland were : “ Governor [of]
Queensland turns first sod,” alluding
to the opening of a new railway. This
is one of .the) most remarkable of
neswpaper errors on record.
A wife that won’t job her sharp
elbow into her husband’s sides at
least twice during the night and
warn hint that burglars are around
is not half the consolation that a
spring gun w'ould be.—[Detroit
