The Twin Brothers?A
True Story of the Siege
of Port Hudson.
It is said-tirat fact is stronger than
liction. How true? this is, is exemplified
in tho following irue story of two
brothers, twins, which occurred during
the memorable ?sioge of Port Hudson.
1 Missing one day through the streets of
that little town, we noticed two corpses
lying upon the gallery of tho carpenter's
shop, awaiting their turn for the
boxes dignified with the title of. coffins,
to consign them to their last vesting
place.T They were*bodies of tall statue,
strong and well-built, betokening the
hardy backwoodsmen of the Southwest.
Over the face of each was thrown
a cloth, through which the biood was
oozing, showing that they had received
their death wounds through the head.
It was no uncommon sight during
the siege to see death in every form,
from tho body pierced bv the single
bullet to the one shattered to atoms by
the cannon hall or fearful mortal shell.
Yet there was something in the appearance
of those bodies which riveted our
attention and induced tho inauirv as
to who tltey were. A rough, grizzly,
weather-beaten Confederafowae sitting
by their side, whose arm,* tied up,
. fdiowed that for tho present ho was unlit
for active service. The tears vrere
trickling down jhis cheeks as he gazed
mournfully upon the dead before hiin,
while his quivering lip told better than
words that they had been more to Kim
than simple comrades of the tent and
field.
He related their story in a few
words: "They were my sons," said
lie, "and were twins." "One of them
joined -at the .same time I did. We
came here with General llcale, and
have done our duty to the best of our
knowledge, and I believe to the satisfaction
of our officers.
"This morning, sir, while at the
breastworks, one of my boys, in order
to get goodlspim at tho sharp-shooters

too high, when a rifle ball pierced his
brainKund ho fell dead at iny feet.
His brother seeing him fall, sprang
forward to pick him lip, but in. so doing,
exposed liimself above the line of
defenses, when ho, .too, received a ball
through the brain, and he fell dead
. upon the still quivering fornx of his
brother. As they came intodhe world,
so they went out of it?together. In
removing their bodies from$he> breastworks,
I got this wound, which shattered
my arm. "Would that I had
died with them, sir, for I have no one
to love upon this earth."
"And their mother?your wife ?"
"Died, sir, in giving them birth."
One coffin received the remains of
the twins, and a few days after, while
sitting in front of his tent, an exploding
shell gave a death-wound to the heartbroken
father.? West Baton Rouge Su-1

Thieving in New York.
Tbc clever New York correspondent
of the Springfield, Republican says in a
recent letter: I
Now think wbat'an easy way of amass*
ing a fortune ! You take a fancy to a
portublo biyidle of considerate value,
jmd, sore ,/hf not being detected, you
Wttlk off with it. The next day you pay
four cents for a newspaper, and read the
following: -i'Beward?beventy-five dollars
will be pajd, and no questions asked,
for tho return entire of a package of
goods tak^n from a cart in Leonard
street, near Broadway, about 5 o'clock
on Saturday-evening. Address, stating |
::. how the goods may be obtained, ind the
money paid, drc." From an investment j
of. four ceitr$odrT<Mli%';"'6cventy?.fivc
dollars; and; then-. people talk'about hon?
esty being tbe . best policy ! - But this is
& triflo-^-mcrely an afternoon's aniuttuient.
In the evening, at about 8 o'clock,
you walk into a bouse in Madison
Avenue, and while the family are listen
ing to a performance of slight-of-hand on
the piano, yon, by another species of legerdemain,
walk out with a tin box containing
securities and bonds to the
amount of $160,000. Several days later,
you take up the paper, and among the
"personals" you see what follows: "The
party who carried off" (not stole, mark
yoo well,) "the box of securities and
other valuables from Madison Avenue,
on the evening of the 28d, is invited"
(could anything be inoro delicately put?)
"to addrew'H.T. M., &o., with a view to
matrimony" (no, I beg your pardon, my
eyo skipped a line.) /'with a view to uj*
gotiating their return." Is not this pav
ing a fiue premium for rascality ? The
day of detectives is at an end, and Now
York may be called the rogue's paradise.

The aspoct and condition of affairs
at Washington present anomalies and
incongruities hitherto unknown in this
Government. The antagonism between
the Radicals and the President has a
two-fold nature. In the ono caso it is
avowed and gloried in'by the faction
hounded.cn by Somnee and Stevens.
In the other it is silent, timerous and
too,decided to force a rupture with its
| stalwort ally. However much tho latter
ignores the fanatical aggressiveness
| of tho former, they are not unprepared
| to come t6 a direct issue or severance
J with them. Neither wing is satisfied
| wiih the President. The one hates
| him?the other respect, and would bo
his friend, but there is a hitch which
prevents. It is the indisposition to
dissolve tho party, for fear of losing
their power. Several of the latter vote
for obnoxous measures in conjunction
j with the former, but when the veto
is exorcised, they back dowry and repuI
diato. Tho President plays his game
with remarkable skill and courage^?
Elocted by the party as a war man, in
a great crisis, never having acted with
it before tho revolution, and on a platform
which pledged him only to prose:
cute tho war and preserve the Union,
he has no antecedents in common with
it. He made no pledges which bound
him to their views in &uch issues as are
now before the country. Consequently,
he is free to select his own policy and
abide by it. This he has done. Tko
party decry him as a traitor to thorn.
They have caught a Tartar. Re has
shown no dispositAn to antagonize).?
They claim the right to suggest his
policy and to control him and tho country.
Ho denies it, and acts outside of
, them. He is accused of playing the
[ part of Jour Ijxeb. There is no par
allel between the two cases, b.'ccept in
iltc boldness, disinterestedness and patriotism
of the two men, who have
dared, in spite of party* lines and restrictions,
to administer the Constitution.
IiLrespcct to differences of laws,
circumstances of election, party organizations
and peculiar exigencies tho parallel
bears no relation whatever. Trim's
administration was the beginning
of tho downfall of the Whig party.?
Let us hope Andkf.w Jon n son is the
besom of destruction to the Black Boj
publican.
Two serious questions, however, present
themselves. Does Congress or the
President represent tho spirit of the
North ? ^Can any remedy be applied
potent enough to revive tho vitality of
the American system, as understood
4-Ur?f on/I infl I
*Wi iUv.l it J UJ tilUb IVUV4 V4UWVU1VVA
iu the Constitution?' With reference
to the first, it is a great mistake to attribute
the struggle now in progress as
the result of mere trickery or party
spirit. Congress represents the characteristics
of the Northern miiul -which
were in tho process of development
boforo tho war?actuated there during
it, and are now progressing, developing
and seeking a culmination. The legislative
body of every people is the bost
thermometer of their political temperature.
Duty is only the emanation and
exponent?-never the inaugurator of
principles. Coming out from aitiongst
the people, partaking of their nature*
and feelings, studying their condition
and dependent on their favor, tho public
men of a country are, nine-tenths of
them, only weather-cocks who indicate
the direction of the wind, and set their
sails accordingly, boos .not tho Coi*-'
gross of tho United States show this ?
Its action is iu exact accordance with
tho spirit of the Northern people.?
They arc true types of ail revolutionary
epochs. They are for progression?not
retrogression. They arc wafting along
with that stream which is in quest of
tho strict logical1 deduction and conclusion
of those principles by which they
! k a* i T?
iUllglil' UUVl rtUll luu uiLiu. xvvtuiuuuao
* ?
are always logical in thoir denoument.
Andukw Jouxsox seeks to turn back
ibis torrent?to stay its flood. lie
wishes to return to the bulwarks of
3800?to remand the Government to
an observance of the rights of the States
and obligations of the Constitution.?
He is a consorvatist amid a host of progressionists.
Uiiibrtunately paradoxes
and inconsistencies confront him at
uvorv turn. Cananvremedy bo applibd
to hfial the present deplorable condition
of the oountov'? "Is there no balm
in Gilead" to soothe the passions and
allay the hot blood ? Is the country
to be deluged vita ihe woes and crimes
of social and civil revolution ? ()ur
country is a Mid commentary on the
boasted power of our political institutions.
(.'ouUl the men who framod a
constitution to meet the necessities of
that country 1 hey liberated by sacrifices
of blood and treasure, behold it torn,
mutilated and bleeding?a Mead letter
and a mocking jest, they would shirt
back with af right at the ghost-like vestige
of its termor grandour and power. To
return to. a- strict observance of it is
impossible. The times have outrun
much of its capacity and adaptability.
Mo one denies tile necessity for tho application
of the amending power to direct
the present exigency. But as a
ground-work it can never bo ignored,
unless the pooplo of the North are determined
to be a law unto themselves,
J., i-A

govern them. Wo givo the massesand
a few public men among them
crodit for an . attachment to it still. At
the samo time the former are 60 biassed
by tho indoctrinations of their radical
leaders, teachers and preachers that
they would abandon it forever rather
than suffer thoi# adherence to it to militate
with "what they call the spirit
of the ago. It strikes us, in view
of these facts, that the only remedy for
the country is to be found in tho double
conception of entertaining their a? tachment
for the constitution, with cer+i>;?
nf fl-mir -nof nn+.inns foot too rank
?such as universal suffrage) into a common
party 'platfonn. Compromises
will have to bo made. There may bo
a half-way ground which will meet the
requirement of the present hour, without
impairing fundamental principles.
One thing is sure, no success can bo
expected 60 long as no party is organized
adverse to the Radical party.
Whether tone and power can be imparted
to another based on a common
platform suitable to all sections, is the
question. Something, however, mtisl
be done, or the Radicals will, at an easy ;
gallop?and worse than all, will acquire
such speed and endurance as to distance
all new entries for years. Then

H
wliat of ttho' country ? Anxiously. aw
wo looking to tho President and Bit
conservative friends to stir in the matter.
If it is worth time lot them have ah
abundaneo of i'c. They know the occasion.
AVe believe something of this
nature is on the tapis. It has been
suggested to call it the (Constitutional
Union party. We wish it every suecess.
Peace, security, and stability are
our pressing wants. Let Axdbew

Sewaud its Ulyses. - There may be
hope, then, of a new and better regime.

It is desired to effect this objoct with
the leaat possible delay, so that the
transference of the remains may lie accomplished
before the heat of Summer
shall interpose to hinder their removal;
and this eommitioo has already instituted
such inquiries as it is hoped and

execution of the purpose contemplated

There is scarcely a Sou hern State

than our own people, in the^^^H^

have done and are doing what
they can; and we therefore feel at libp
crty to ask that others, who may participate
in the feelings and motives
which have prompted this labor of mingled
gratitude arid love, will aid in its
accomplishment by 6uch contributions
as they may be able and willing to
make. But it is important that whatever
may be done in this way should be
done speedily.

' We received frdfeo. a cb'rrespondent
in Shrithyille, the fallowing tacts
. relative to the Whale, wffich'lwe think
may perhaps prove , interesting to our
readers*, as a full account hds not yet
been published. ,1The
.Whale recently captdred, is of
the large tin back species, and was
i first Been about sunrise on Tuesday,
d March 20, and soon after grounded on
an oyster rock. near Smithville.He
got clear however, and started up the
channel, agitating the water more than
an ordintry steamboat. Ho shortly
afterwards run aground again, this
time'opposite the residence of Mrs.
Stuart. Mr. 'Warren, a gentleman in
Smithville, fired at him while in this
position, but he appeared perfectly regardless
of the shot, and extricating
?. _u. * . a. i..a j.i.? i
mniseu ugtun, swnuu up cue uiuuuei.
A small schooner, named the Planet,
then started in pursuit, and found him
stuclc on Snow's marsh, opposite Fort
Fisher, but on coming up with him
was discovered that Ifc hud again succeeded
in extricating himself, and was
making directly for the Schooner. This
movement on tho part of the Whale
caused a great deal of consternation
among the crew of the vessel, which
W9.8 immediately faced about,' and all
haste was mdde from the scene of action
; but on proceeding a short distance,
they observed that the Whale,
who was probably as badly S frightened
as the crew, Fad also changed his course,
and wa$ in a short time seen to run
ashore near the place where he had
j us tu gotten off.
A small bo'at was sent to reeonoitre
his position; finding him fast aground,
and the, tide falliug, the Schooner pro
ceeded to Smith ville to get the assistance
of the Sloop Flash, and. also to
obtain the services of a gentleman residing
in Smith ville, who hod several
years experieuee in the Whale business.
' . '
On their return, the tide hayjng
fallen considerably, the huge moiister
was discovered to be t almost entirely
' out of the water. Tke> first objecjjwas
to kill him, accordingly a hole was . cut
in his side, and tho old whaler run a
sword in, uutil his arm was almost
entirely imbedded in his body. His
heart was eventually pierced, but even
then it was nearly two hours before -lie
had ceased to breathe. In his fury he
could throw a stream of water six
inches, in diainoter, fully a hundred
feet high. His dimensions were ascertained
to be as follows; 50 feet long
and 27 feet in circumference. Tho
neau is aoout ono-tiura the entire
length. _ The jaws are 16 feet long on
either side, and 9 feet wide ' across the
throat. The tail is about 12 feet wide,
ancL serves him as a weapon. ' He is
only about half grown, and weighs 36
tons or .72,00U pounds. i
To give some idea of his immense
weight, it is stated that ev< after the
upper jaw and skull were cut away it
whs impossible, owing to the immense
weight, to getj the under jaw on the
deck of the schooner, so it must.reniain
in the water until the flesh decays, before
tho boiie can bo saved..
The carcass would have, made 60
barrels of oil if facilities could have
been obtained for cutting and .trying
up the blubber. As it is, only about
25 barrels; or S00 . gallons have -been
saved.? Wilmington Journal, 30th nil.

"we have passed, to;day, through d/ \
locality of undying memories. Apfcd- j
mattox Court House will be remembered
when Petersburg and*-Raleigh- jtre,s
forgotton. The whole couutry shows, c
most impressively, that the storm of way'
has passed over it.?- The debris of a
ruined army of heroic men brings 'sa'd-.
ness to the soul. Over all this -field of
the death-struggle, the farmers -are'
ploughing, new fences have beep, erected,
and the budding vegetation is ju6t
now awaking to the Wooing of spring,-,
but tbese signs of life, generally so.welf
come, seem discordant here. It seems 1
to the sad soul and the tearfufc eye that
these old shoes, theses broken guns,,
these fragments of wagons, wrecks of
cars, pieces of ohhhats, bleaching bones'
of horses, and nameless graves of many
a Southern boy, ought to be in a
desert. ' ' "
"As we loot upon the forsaken batteries
ifad immense hospitals of Faym-'
ville, ox* the stricken fields of Appomat- '
tox, we Jfeel that the plough ought not
to turn this soil, that the trees ought
to die, and that no bird ought ever to
sing here again. No Union man, however
tyue and loyal to the United States,if
he ta a man, could walk over this desperate
field unmoved and untouched.
Here .a brave army surrendered, gave
up its arms, and laid its banners in the',
dust. Here lie thef remains of - a son
and brother, for whom a mother mourns
and a sister weeps, and there is_ none
to comfort them. Aere lie the half uncovered
bonds t?f a father, whose little
children still ask, 'when will father
