For the Yorkville Enquirer. ABRAHAM,"THE KING. It vras in the year one thousand eiglr hundred and sixty one, and in th< fourth month of the reign of Lincoln, th< King, who reigned over the States call ed Lnited States; and as the King sai in the White House in the City callec Washington, that a messenger came unto the King and bowed down and said. "0, great and mighty King, eleven oi the tribes have revolted in the land lying south of the river called Potomac, even unto the nations which lie Soutl and West of the Rio Grande, and bori-_r ii. li.j uermg on uie great sea eaiieu Atlantic, and even unto the river called Ohio.' Then the King looked mighty wrath and issued a proclamation calling on al his great men and chief counsellors, anc soothsayers, fornicators and adulterers, to assemble themselves together in the City called Washingtoa. And when the;y had assembled themselves in the greal Sanhedrim, and the King had sat himself on the throne, he called William, whose surname is Seward, to take a seat on his right hand, for the King was well pleased with William, and delighted to look upon him, for he was a great counselor and a cunning man, and one in whom he delighted. Then he called Winfield, whose surname is Scott, to take a seat on the left of the throne, for he is a great warrior and a mighty man withal. Then the King called Bates, his cup bearer, to bring him some whisky ; and when it was brought, Cameron, his taster, for the King had a taster to taste all that he ate and drank, so that he might live long ar.d not be destroyed by his enemies?then Cameron pronounced it good and fit for the King to drink ; then the King took a drink and rubbed his hands and wiped his mouth, and was well pleased, and asked them all to take a smile; and they all drank and were merry and so was the King! Then the King arose and "Opened his mouth and spoke like a man' and said, am ' not King of the eleven tribes, whicti have revolted ?" And they all bowed their heads to the ground and said it is so. Then the King said, "What shall be done with the eleven tribes ? Shall we not go down into the land and possess it, and slaughter the young men and the old men, and wives, and daughters, and take their man servants and maid servants unto us, and dwell with them and them with us, and we shall be one people, for I. the King, hath said it?" And they all bowed . v 1 .1. _ _ .1 _ 1 1 - a. \ A. 1. _ ."! 1 ineir neaas ana saiu ici n oe uui.? Then Winfield arose and asked, '-What shall be done with the tribe which is called Palmettos?they being the most stiff-necked and rebellious of all the tribes which have revolted ?" Then when the Palmettos were mentioned, the King was sorely troubled, and again called for his cup bearer, and they all took a drink and felt more warlike and ready to obey the commands of the King. ''Then the King being merry, and well pleased with himself, said if any one ask anything of me, even unto the half of my kingdom, I will gi>? it him." Then Chase said, "Get me the head of Jefferson Davis." Then the King was sorely troubled in his mind, on account of the promise he had made; but to relieve himself, told Chase to "go and get it." Then Chase said, "he did not think he could go, but would get Winfield, as he was well acquainted with him." Whether Winfield went, deponent knoweth not. Then the King said, "Let us go out and see our mighty men who are encamped about the City," and as they were about to go out, the King said, "let us liquor," and they all drank and "smiled." 1)IXIE.

Dear Sur, Jr., <jv.:?Last weak sum ov 'em hear thought I was the 1 writin 2 u, and what signed "Sniffles," but dont kno what they think this weak. I concluded, theird, to write 2 u on my own "ape," and then give way to "Sandy" I long thought ov writin 2 somebody about things, but never thought I would ever B guilty ov writin 2 u. This "big kounti'y" ov hours is in a terrible "fix rtnrnv 1 i-l ein/^n flin Triorunc 1 oft I n ?lic_ cussiri ''things" alluded 2 above, I will first take up the subject that's nearest yore hart, and that is the subject of slavery ; and next thing the subject of Revenue, which is the next nearest yore hart. * First, then, as to slavery. Now Abe, "honey muHicauluswhich, u kno, in Congo dialeck menes all mus dye. But u kant kill out slavery. When 1 say "honny multicaulus," 1 kno u understand, for I here u understand all the furin languages as spoken on the coast of Afriker. Yes, sur-ee, u yourself, like Abraham Arnold, must dye ; and dvin is the debt all have to pay for the privilege of livin. B content A be, for, like Arnold, that's yore fate sure. Now in certain localities, on spots ov this earth, death and taxes are tolerable sure ; but death evrvwhere. As 2 slavery proper, u yourself ''horrible dictu" like Arnold, are subject 2 the same catastrofee !? an u kno Arnold was a great hand on catastrofees !! And as Moncher Frank would sa, "vot u tink uv dat, eh?"? The word ''eh" in furin language, on the coast of Afriker means "say faiick'!" In short, the less u say about slavery the better. As to freein niggers, I hope u will use all the might and power in u vested (by your proclamation concernin liberty) first to make thein that's already free, to earn their livin. I know J u'l do that, unless you approve ov stealin. Now as to the subject ov revenue. I hear u ar comin through old Virginity, with all your might as the 1st step towards collectin Revenue. In this we learnt, on Saturday u took the little town of Alexandria ; on yesterday utook the little town of Hampton, and 2 day we hear u took 25,000 ov our troops, hickin 20fore thousand, 9 hundred andTOfive! Now with this success, no doubt u feel exultant. We expect soon 2 hear ov you marching on to a Duck's nest; try- j ing 2 take the ? of Virginity to pay for this ear's Revenue. Or do u hope first to envade Virginity, then North and South Carolina, and then the rest? As 2 comin here, it might take u ? cars 2 1 get here, provided Bonham did'nt put 1 u out ov that notion in Virginny. As to goin through Virginny, dont u kno : Napoleon only got to Moscow ! I dont speak to under-rate Napoleon, for Europe once combined 2 put France on the t ground, but the world could not make j hercrall. Cant u take lessons from furt in language, "eh," (say quick). Dont - u kno that the ghost of Washington t will set the world against u ? U underl stand. If not, then go to language still morefurin, and read what a respec, table gemman of old thought, in regard f 2 the sentence, "mene tekel upharsin" - ?which, in the furin language, as spo, ken on the coast of Afriker, means?a t la Arnold?"tea kittles is hard up!" - Judgin from your proclamation, u know, ed that. As to invadin the South, there4?a , la Moscow?2 collect friends 2 pay your I revenue, I'm a thinking u r makin a I friendly mistake. Howsomever, u may , try it intentially. I think some other ; plan would suit your consti2tion better. Speakin of revenue, I'm sorry leant ; give u any account of the progress of the war in this vicinity, on the score of , revenue. All I kan sa at present, in the hurrv of the moment is. that vour ' ?/ # ^ I chance ov colJectin much revenue here, i for your immediate necessities, is quite scase indeed, Abe. If I hear ov any 1 revenue collected here on your B|, I'l [ let u kno ! Until your wishes r further known, it will B deposited in Bank to your credit, if u have any. All our banks here, are safe for keepinany thing that B-longs 2 u. In general, our banks have so ids, and r perfectly incorporated. Soe u need have no fears ov safe keepin of your revenue, tho' they ma individually not invite u yourself in their Houses out ov a shower ov rane. The kasion ov it is, your proclamation has made u awful unpopulous! I tell them, howsomever, not 2 mind what u sa, for proclamations dont hurt any body. Now understand me on the subject ov Revenue. I mean to say I dont wish to flatter u, but if u dont hear from m< before next week again, u may consider O 1 * that your chance for Revenue continues scase. But, should you in the m mii time hear from me, I will signify tin intelligence ov Revenue, by certain pin hole marks on the envelope. A pinhole at the upper corner will signify the word "glorious,"?another at the oppositekorner will signify "news." 2 more pin-holes anywhere on the letter will signify "great Revenue!" 2 kum 2 the pint at onest, a heap ov your friends here condole with u about Revenue, but 1 konsolation they have is, that, as far as branes is concerned, u r naturly rich ! Mind, they dont kuse u, but, 2 I? kanded, they despise 2 c somebody or other with so little branes, putting his friends evry where, 2 so much -?D t T ...:n U UUUIU IV KUUCUt iVv* UliUC -L Will Ofl out collect in for u this after-noon, and let u kno 2 nite in the klose ov this letter, B4 mailin. I hope I'l succeed, and if I dont kollect any Revenue for u why u must not blame me. U kno when 1 does the best he kan, hekan do no more; and nobody kan blame any body for doin dat much but hesef! 2 nite, 8 o'clock. Well I've just re| turned, and narry red for Revenue ! I was put entirely out ov sorts with all I met and asked for Revenue for u. I see no reason why u should'nt issue another proclamation. They dont seem to mind your first 1. But what I would B minded, I would kontinue to issue several proclamations, when it is all for the sake of Revenue. They say when ' I axed them for Revenue for u, that they aint whipped yet, to give you as much 1 as tribute, and as for my kollectin Rev- 1 enue for u in the Southern Confederacy : for your Yankee Doodle Government, i it will be a race between it and the Mil- 1 lennium. I tell you what it is, its no i go at this time. To ax em for Reve- ] nue now without another proclamation i or so, is like singin sams 2 adefunt animal ov the equine race, 2 the tune ov ' Rock the Doodle Dixie. 1 When they commence singin "Dixie," I raily dont kno who to tfust this side 1 of the grave exsep tis the Lord ov host! < JLhey all think here, that a Revenue 1 Collector aint much. They think that an application ov the 5 digits ov the human pedestal to the arrearage ova collector, in this age ov progress, will readily turn him in2a revenue cutter, as far as fast travcllin is concerned ! I cant think of collectin for u at this rate. 11 only undertook the job ov tryin to c ! ! lect from good feelin 2 u, for if u ' ..on hie your books, I got no pintmen; the business. But, judgin from success I've met with, I hope I ainti intrudin ! Soe if u have any idea of pintin me. Jowt u, and u wont, if u have any respect for me: Your oii'Y chance ov collectin at pres- ' cnt is 2 issue more proclamations. It 1 stems 2 me enough t v em is just what i is needed for your purpose just now!? 1 Your next best plan for raisin Revenue, would B to 1-evate a sand Bur over the < mouth ov the Mississippi, and charge all 1 the fish in the c 10 sense a drink. You i < will thus have the wealth of the e at{? your command, and after fillin all the 1 Banks with Revenue, u kan pile up the balance in the Missis-slippery bottom! i If u have any intention in this way, u t had better stick 2 it. If you shouldh waver and find u kant stick, I am told ] that 1 bottle ov Spalding's Glue will save 10 times its value annually; and only cost 25 cts (!) It is certainly cheap ' at 25 cts. If u aint got that much Revenue buy u, I suppose a Dozen wooden nutmegs will do. ' O ^ I must now konklude, as the nite v linniTs lin-vvilv nn mv line T vnrvont it for all, u need not expect the Revenew. They all say that G. S. A. means Corn Sum Abe.

Incidents of the Battle of Fort Sumter. In a recent paper, it is mentioned that Maj. Anderson stated that his large flag had been injured by the wind, and that he had to fight under a smaller one, and not that which had long been the flag of the fort. This is true, and he deserves credit for giving this much ol truth, while he encourages the idea that there were many killed in the battle.? He does not, however, state the facts as they were. On Thursday, April 11th, the United States flag flying over Fort Sumter was, by the wind, 'rent in twain,' just below the union, and taken down to be replaced by the storm flag under which the battle was fought. The citizens of Charleston, who had long been watching the fort, and looking for its surrender, when they observed the flag hauled down, many of them thought that it was about to be made; but soon they saw the storm flag raised, and in the course of the afternoon the cause of the change was known. It was spoken of as an omen of interest, which has been verified by results, "The God of Heaven and of Battles" not only disunited it before the fight, but in his wisdom could not permit any flag used in such j a cause to descend but in the blood oi its upholders shed by themselves. During the fight no one was killed, and few wounded, but the attempt to salute the flag which had been disunited was followed by the casaulty which prostrated seven men, two fatally, and five with njurv?"one for each of the Confederacy." On the night before the action, an "Ticor - ii duty at Morris' Island who was taking ids rounds, was struck with .he L w of a fine palmetto in the distance, ind looking up at the moon in its first quarter immediately above it, found the crescent arranged s in our State flag, and the plciades close by. On the morning after the fight, a large white-headed eagle was scent cling around the Morris' Island batte-1 O # I ries for sometime, confining his circle to them, until a rilleman atone of them struck a feather from his tail, when he passed away towards the North. When the battie was fiercely going on, a few hours after daylight, the SurgeonGeneral placed a note on the bulletin boards of the Courier and Mercury, asking persons willing to receive wounded soldiers into their houses, to report immediately to him. The call was soon responded to and applicants for permission to receive sucli poured in from all directions?for two, four, six. ten, fifteen, &c.?and a note from a lady stated that her whole house, with her own and her daughters' services, were cheerfully tendered. Persons in the humblest class, as well as those more able, came freely to offer assistance, and vacant rooms, where they had not the means to furnish them. Numerous tenders by ladies, old and young, were made to serve as nurses or cooks for wounded patriots. Personal applications were frequent, and showed the true and intense teeling that tilled tlu heart of woman for the perils of the brave soldier; and never will the occasion be forgotten which brought it out o o in such bold relief. U hat a contrast to the conduct of Anderson, a gallant and brave soldier, for whom such appreciation was shown by the magnanimity of Beauregard, as to allow him the privilege of saluting a flag which he had nobly defended. He has never acknowledged the courtsey, but, on the other hand, has insinuated everything of his evacuation of thefort with flying colors, kc, in the face of the noble generosity of his conqueror. When the Surgeon-General tendered him assistance and the use of a hospital if he needed it, Anderson was informed that no one was killed, or wounded seriously; he replied, "Thank God! it shows there is a Providence ruling over us"?vet, he now, since his head has " nod by Northern adulation, en. :he belief that there were many ' Vdint would that Northern pubd i.a of their hero, were they to oi his seeking an interview with Governor Pickens, to thank him for his continual kindness to him, and to compliment him on the wisdom and propriety of his course in lation to Fort Sumtci?telling him that posterity would do him justice for his acts fur which he had been so unjustly blamed ? What would they think of their brave defender, who said "lie feared the fleet would have at'enipted to come in and ! complicated the difficulty of his surrenler, which he knew the day before would occur, if they could be kept out." let tins nero claimed to go on witn liy- ' ng colors, without giving any credit to die liberal and generous permission of 111 enemy who was brave, and could ap preciate a gallant resistance! ' How the Kentuckians Handle a < Hiflk.?An intelligent correspondent ivho lately left Baltimore for Harper's 1 Ferry and other points in Virginia, jives the following account of his observation in a private letter: At Harper's Ferry, a Kentuckian challenged a Virginian to shoot with ? die rifle. The distance was a hundred I md fifty yards. OldKentuky covered ' lis six bullet holes with a half dollar, 1 ind Old Virginia was obliged to get a small tin cup to cover his ; buthe claimed the victory, on the ground that his j jullets were twice the size of his adver- 3 >ary*s. Twenty-eight men shot in the i same day, at three hundred yards, at a og the size of a man, and twenty-two )ullets pierced it. These shots were . ill off hand.

THE Legislature having, at its late session, authorized the Issue of Bonds to the amount of .?675,000, bearing an interest of seven per cent., for the purpose of providing the funds required to sustain toe 3tate in the act of resuming her rights of sovereignty, this Bank is now prepared to dispose of the Bonds. They arc issued in sums of $50,.?100 and .?500. An opportunity is thus afforded every citizen to make a secure and profitable investment, while contributing aid to the cause in which the State is engaged. With the view of enabling citizens in any part of the State to share in the Loan, the Clerks of the Courts of the several districts have been required to open books of subscription for the Stock. Suitable arrangements will be made for furnishing the Bonds on the receipt of the money, ai an eariy uay aucr cacu kuumjuuuuh mu u.rt-u made.

The intelligence of a people is ever estimated by the character oftheir literature. We have intellects which will pale before none!
