formed a brilliant ami impressive pic-,

be described iu the cold language of

the mind of every one who was present,
as actor or observer.

utmost borders with such an assemblage
as is rarely seen anywhere. Every coun

throng. The dwellers in the city, who
.seemed, indeed, to have come together
from every side in obedience toSi oom-

Serenely took his way.

To the envenomed heart of hate.
He bore the odium of reproach
While liattling ior the right;

Foretold the coming night
When bans would sot o’er fields of blood,
And stars shine o’er the same,
When War’s dread torched, hot and red.
O’er Southern homes would flame.
