TIIE E\T0KT10i\EK.
Of all the various beasts of prey
That thirst for bloody gore,
That seek and prowl, relentless slav,
"Whoso constant cry is more,
There's none like him whose craving maw,
"Would till his coffers by this war.
No heart of which wo ever read,
Would prey upon his like ;
"Whoso craven heart, to feeling dead,
"Would 'gainst his species strike,
'Tis left to man, man's high estate,
To do the deed he'd execrate.
Aye, can it he?alas! 'tis so?
All "Shvloeks" are not dead?
There's those who wring the heart with woe,
That take the orphan's hrcad,
"Whoso moneyed might the poor oppress,
"Who should relieve, but make distress.
Now is the time we all should strivo
To do all good we can ;
Not by our neighbors' sulVcrings thrive,
But help our fellow man ;
And in a measure thus requite,
Our being absent from the ' light."
But rest assured, the heartless man,
The meaner than the beast,
"Who speculates 011 what he can,
"While others starve, to feast?
Mark what 1 sav. believe it well?
Ho'll surely die and to li?11.
Goon for tiie Thirsty Soldier. ?Extreme
thirst is one of the most severe trials the active
sohlier has to encounter. During a long
march and on the lield of a long and hotly
contested battle, he is often almost overcome
with fatigue and thirst. An old frontiersman,
who had much experience on the W estern borders
and on the plains, suggests to us the following,
as the best remedy and preventative of
thirst that has ever been discovered:?After a
meal, take the coll'ee grounds, boil them over
again, and pour it oil" into your canteen, and
let it cool for your next march. It is not only
nutrativc and stimulative, but it will quench
tlie thirst more effectually than water. It will
go two or three \iines as far as water. Also
take the coffee grounds, after being thus used,
dry them, and put them in your pocket, and
chew them at intervals 011 the inarch, or during
any arduous service, and they will repress thirst
and satiate greatly the cravings of hunger.?
This course has been tried with the most gratifying
results, and is worthy of a trial by every
soldier in the service.
jfct?" A lady of 1 h'lllas, Texas, has received a
letter from her brother, who was taken prisoner
by the Yankees at Manassas, and who after
wards made Ins escape, from which we make
the following extract:
They came very near killing me on the spoti
but they carried me to the rear about one
mile, and there the rout commenced. They
took me on to Arlington Heights, a distance of
about dO or 40 miles, made me go at a trot all
the way. 1 arrived at Arlington about 10
o'clock Monday, and there was placed in an
old stable, and tied hands and feet ; kept me
there two days, and only gave me one piece of
bread and some water.
From there we went over to Washington,
O '
where we were mobbed by the drunken sol.
dicrs and little boys. Brickbats came as thick
around inc as the halls at Jiull Kun. Several
of those who were with 111c were hurt very
badly. We lived 011 bread, water and salt
pork for three weeks after wc arrived in Washington.
After that wc lived first rate; the so*
cession ladies and gentlemen of Washington
and Baltimore made up a purse of $1,900 for
our comfort, which they put into a gentleman's
hands in Washington, who provided us with
sugar and coffee, beef and clothing, cots, mattresses,
blankets, and also hired a negro to
help us cook.
The London Daily News says that the
reports that the Emperor Napoleon contem- <
plates a recognition ot the Southern Cont'ed- i
eracy are from trustworthy sources, the want ;
of cotton being severely folk i
Lincol's Cabinet and the Slavery- Quesnon.?The
Continental Monthly, a new Abolition
magazine just started in the Nortli^
makes lie following assertion :
Five of the present Cabinet, with Secretary
Cameron at their head have expressed themselves
fairly and fully in favor of emancipation
?foreseeing its inevitable realization, and, we
presume, the necessity of "managing" it betimes.
Only Messrs. Seward and Bates hang
timidly behind, waiting for stronger manifestations,
ere they hang out their tings. Mean
winU\ from the rural districts of the East and
West conic thousand-fold indications that the
great "working majority" of Northern freemen
?the same who elected Lincoln and urged on
the war in thunder tones and lightning acts?
o o
are stirnh determined to press the great mca^
sure, and purify this country for once and forever
of its great bitterness. It is a foregone
conclusion.
Burying a Man Alive.?Singular Circumstance.?'Jdie
Baltimore Clipper of the Oth tells
the following:
On Thursday last an unusual occurrence
transpired at the camp of the Wisconsin Fourth
regiment, now encamped at Patterson Park.
Peter Moore, one of the privates,, had been ill
for several weeks, lie to all appearances, died.
A certificate of his death was handed to Maj..
Bclger, who ordered a collin for the defunct.
On Thursday morning Moore was placed in
the colli in, and, just as the lid was being nailed
down, lie greatly frightened the bystanders by
sitting up in bis collin and exclaimed that it
was a shame to bury a man before ho was
dead. Of course lie was removed from the
box and once more placed under the care of
.1 1 . \! 1 i 1 1 1
iiie uocior. .uooienau miu one aav ana a
night as if dead, and came very near being
buiricd before his time. Ilis companions declare
that, as he refused to be buried whenhfs
funeral was ordered by the Col., he has
disobeyed orders, and that when he recovers
he shall be court martialed.
Second Outrage Against the British
Flag.?The following is the Northern account
of an affair very similar to the San JacintoTrcnt
outrage, and to which allusion has already
been made in our dispatches from New
Orleans :
The U. S. steamer Santiago de Cuba, on theOth
inst., boarded a schooner in the Gulf, bound!
from Havana to Brazos, and took seven passengers,
among whom was Jas. W. Zacharic,.a
wealthy anil prominent citizen of New Orleans,,
who has been of late materially assisting Jeff.
Davis in prosecuting the war of the Confederacy.
Mr. Zacharie was placed, on the arrival
of the Santiago dc Cuba, in the hands of Maj.
Hill, commander of Fort Taylor, who has carefullyvguardod
him. until he transfercd him to
the steamship Baltic for transportation to New
York.
Ci rk for Love.?Take twelve ouncos of
dislike, one pound of resolution, two ounces
of the powder of experience,, a long sprig of
time, fourteen drachms of the quiet of dishonor,
and one quart of the cooling waters of consideration.
Set them over a gentle fire of
love, sweaten it with the sugar of forgetfulness,,
skim it with the spoon of melancholy, and
put it into the bottom of your heart. Then

and you will truly find caso and be restored to
your right senses again. These things arc to

Understanding, next door to Reason, Prudent
street, in the parish of Contentment.
McClKLLAN and THE lincoln CoNORE&S. It
is currently reported that a movement is on
loot in the Washington Congress to supercede
lien. McCJellan by the Massachusetts lawyer,
Nathaniel P. Banks. They Complain that
McClellan is too slow, and they want a Commander
who will respond to the popular clamor
for an onward movement. The Yankees
