THE STAR SPANGLED BANNEK.
Oh ! say, can yon see bv tho dawn's early light,
What so proudlv we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through tho peril
ous tight.
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming
Amid the rocket's red glare, the homo's bursting m the air,
Gave proof through the uight that our Hag was still there?
Oh ! say, does thut star spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the laud of the free, and the home ot the brave ?
On the shore dimly seen, thro' the mist of the deep,
Where the foe's haughtv host iu dreud silence reposes,
What is that which the 'breeze, o'er the towering steep,
' As it titfully blows, half conceals, half discloses.
'ow it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
Its full glory reflected now shines on the stream?
"Tib the star spangled banner ! oh, long may it wave
O'er the laud of the free, and tho home of the brave !
And where is the band who so Tauntingly swore,
'Mid the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country they'd leave us no more '
Their blood has washed out their foul footstep s pollution '.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave.
And the star spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the laud of the free, and the home of the brave !
Oh I thus he it ever when freemen shall stand,
lletween their lov'd homo and war's desolation,
Hlctt wilh viet'ry and peace, may the heaven rescued band
I'ruise the power that has niado and preserved us auution !
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just !
And this be our motto, 44 In Cod is our trust."
And the star spangled banner iu triumph shall wave
O'er the land of tlio free and the home of the bravo !

Tho Confederate coat-tails at this time belong

Tho rebel generals are groat in strategy, but
in learning their strategic movements, they must
have gone to school to a crab.
Tho rebels likened the Monitor to a cheese
box. It proved itself, however, to bo more like
some cheese strong and mitey. As might be
supposed, therefore, its modo of warfare is an
offensive one.
If some politicians were burned, they might
possibly rise, like the Phusnix, from their own

tho experiment.

There comes up a fierce hissing from the South
like the hisses of myriads of adders. It is not

Though the rebels are said to be poor, they are

A music teacher once wrote that " the art of
playing tho violin required tho nicest perception
and tho most sensibility of any art in the known

Old Abe has sometimes a dry way of putting
the question. Par example A clergyman re
cently gave the President his views of conduct
ing the war, and after talking five miuutes, drew
up to hear what tho President had to say. " Per
haps you had better try to run the machine a
week," quietly remarked Old Abo. Another
gentleman after pouring out the vials of his wrath
upon a Government officer, was surprised to hear
tho President quietly remark : " Now you're
just the man I have been looking for ; I want
you to give me your advice and tell me, if you
were in my place, and heard all you've beeu tell
ing, and didn't believe a word ot it, what would
you do V It was a poser.
Tho S. F. Journal says that " recent occurren
ces at Yorktown prove that the secessionists still
keep the run of rebellion. They will soon get
tho hang of it, if they keep on their present
course." Tho Journal probably means that the
rebels are about to suspend. We have always
contended that the fellows would get into a place
where they couldn't " tetch bottom." They
have about reached tho end of t-eir rope, and
the " noose" of their exit will be hailed with joy
by all loyal citizens. Red Bluff Independent.
Tub Ironsides. The New York Tribune of
May 4th, has tho following in regard to this ves
sel :
Wednesday next, May 7th, is tho day fixed
for the launch of the Ironsides, at the yard of
Cramp & Son, Philadelphia. Circumstances,
may, however, delay tho event till a few days
later. The first " streak" or band of iron plat
ing is now laid on, and the second one started.
Tliesestreaksare twenty-eight inches broad. They
commence four feet below the water line. On
the bows and stern the plating will be three
streaks or seven feet broad. These are laid on
at the rate of one in fourteen days. The launch
however, will not be delayed for this. The ram
consists of a continuation ot the two lowest
streaks, meeting from the two sides of tho bow,
bolted together and projecting beyond it four
feet ten inches, lhe dimensions are thus : night,
50 inches ; thicknes, S) inches ; length, 4:10 inch
es. There are three hundred and sixty men now
engaged upon her. This vessel, when launched,
will be tho largest aimed Government vessel
afloat. She has a larger tonnage than the ship-
of-the-lme Pennsylvania, fehe will draw fifteen
feet of water, with ten days fuel and her full ar
mament on board. Her beam is much greater
than the usual proportion iu war vessels, While
having the capability of a sea going vessel, sho
is more especially adapted for coast and harbor
defense. One half of the iron plating is being
manufactured in JJnstoI, Pa., and the other halt
in Pittsburg. The aggregate weight of the plates
will be seven hundred and fifty tons.
A Mbrk Tkifls. Captain Rodman, having
successfully cast a 20 inch gun, and tho test
showing it to be safe and strong as smaller can
non, is now at work on a pocket piece for the
President, the ball of which is to weigh 3,000
pounds, to have a range of six or seven miles,
of two feet and a half diameter, while the gun
itself will weigh somewhere in the neighborhood
of 200 tons. It is supposed if the Warrior or
any other English ship should be struck by one
of the pills from this little joker, it would be
difficult for the future historian to tell the precise
spot where the English vessel was last seen, or
at precisely what instant she disappeared from
mortal view. Captain Rodman is now mushing
six 15 inch toys for the now Monitors, three or
four 20 inch playthings, besides Old Abe's pock
et piece, the 30 inch joker. The story that a
guard is set over this gun every night to keep it
from being picked up and carried off by some
thief, is pronounced a canard. JY. V. lnbune.
Confiscation. The Government is now en
forcing a law confiscating rebel property, and
strange to say, there are individuals claiming to
be Union men, who desire loyal men to repudi
ate that doctrine. Why, the next move will bo
to desire us to repudiate tho idea of couliscating
the life of a traitor in fighting. Unconditional
support of the Government will prevail, and
political demagoges canuuot avert it. The loyal
men are taxed to pay the expenses, their lives
and property subject to destruction by rebels,
and must we, forsooth, protect theirs. No ! the
time is past ; the rebels are foreign to us, until
they acknowledge the supremacy of the Gov
ernment. Yreka Journal.

The Richmond Examiner says this is " a guilty
war on the part of the United States." " Then
let us proxecule it," replies a New York exchange
Th Richmond Examiner states that tho war
has already cost Virginia some 10,000,000, and
considers the price a heavy one for making itself
the "chopping block of tho North and South
and cock-pit of contending nations the Fland
ers of America."

Washington, June 7. It appears that about a
hundred and seventy prizes have been taken by
our cruisers. Iu consequence of tho delay of
Government officers in condemning tho rebel
vessels and cargoes captured, it is yet impossible
to estimate the value of tho prizes, which must
be enormous. Some idea, however, may be
formed of tho total by tho singlo case of tho
Circassian, which arrived at New York a few
days since. This vessel and cargo are Valued at
a million and a half of dollars. Tho sailors of
the crew that captured her will probably receive
thirteen hundred dollars apiece. It is said there
are somo fifteen vessels equally valuable now
trying to run the blockade. It is stated that the
English speculators in arms have shipped 20,000
Enfield rifles lo Nssau, where they dispose of
