A BONO FOR THE VOLUNTEERS. A man stands upon the floor of the House of Delegates of Virginia. He turns an eye of fire around him—be tremblM whh some mighty emotion. That emotion, reader, was the first breath of new born liberty. She started into life at this inspiration, and the days of tyranny were numbered. The grandeur of that scene cannot be compassed at one glance. He stood amid a grave and prudent body of men, conscious, indeed, of tbe wrongs of their country, but relying upon the modest petition for redress. They had never let their imaginations ramble into visions of upright and fearless independence. A thousand things forbade the idea. Thair habits of thought and action, their pitiable weekness as a country, their disgust for war on account of recent and exhausting con. flicts, all tended to indispose them to free, dom. They were, besides, legislating beneath the jealous eyes of royal deputies, who would not fail to call treason by its name. They sat as it were under the glimmerings of the diadem. Who would dare, if so inclined, to stalk forth from their midst and throw down the gauntlet to the mightiest empire of the world—to principles as old as the great globe itself, interwoven with every page of past history, sanctioned by venerable ages, and prond and awful as the heavens ? Who would dare to leap on the moss-grown and frowning ramparts of monarohy, and plnok its blood red flag ? Who would rush from the security of submission, and Sampson like, grasp the lion by the mane ? It waa the grandest moment of that timo, but God had reared up one to fill it. That man waa Patrick Henry. He opened his lips. His heart, bie with the destinies of the World, struggled for a moment with doubt—but no longer. The electric appeal shot forth, drifted on—flash, ing fiercer and brighter, and growing in overwhelming majesty, until the last worda —"Give me Liberty or give me Death |" —filled up their measure of terrible might; and the last link of the chain that had entirely bound the former was riven. He had finished his sublime task. The revoD lution was a fact. XT Or FORD HOUSE, PITTSTON, PA.— HENRY HUFFOBD, Proprietor. Jan. 1, i486.  GEO. W. BRA.1NBRD * CO., Mantuamaking.

We went bumping about in stage coaches on long leather springs, nine inside, and four or five outside, with four or six horses, and thought ten miles an hour something wonderful. Yet a day's ride inside such a coach, through a fine country, and with a pleasant company, was not the worst evil of this mortal life; and I have thought sometimes when lumbering along a western railway, fifteen miles an hour, in a close unventilated car, filled with filthy, tobacco chewing fellow citizens, that I would cheerfully go back to the coach and four.

General Lyon landed four miles below Booneville and opened a heavy cannonade against the rebels, who retreated and dispersed into the adjacent wood, whence, hidden by brashes and trees, they opened a brisk fire on oar troops. General Lyon then ordered a hasty retreat to the boats, and the Rebels, encouraged by this movement, rallied, and followed the troops into a wheat field. General Lyon halted, faced his troops about, and bringing the whole foroe of hia artillery to bear, opened a murderous fire on the Rebels, 300 of whom were killed, and the balance fled in all directions, tearing their arms on the field.

There was the long, slender, elegant packet, with its row of windows on each side, where you could lounge, play whist, read, walk, or sleep. At the breakfast, dinner, or supper hours, the tables were set, and it was wonderful what excellent repasts came out of the little cupboardlike kitchens. In fine weather we could walk on the long narrow deck, or sit on the trunks and enjoy the scenery. The canal winds along the kanks of small rivers, and through the villages which have sprung up beside it. There was a time when thousands of passengers were conveved from A lbany to Buffalo, through the Erie canal, in gaily painted packet boats, each drawn by three or four handaomi horses, at the rate of one hundred and twenty miles in twenty four hours—not very rapid but pleasant, and tolerable safe. I landed on the dock at Buffalo, from that loud old, high preasure steamer Constitution, Captain Applebee; and taking my carpet bag in my hand, to the disgust of runners, porters, and Jehus, made my unassisted way to the old City Hotel, and the canal basin, where lay one of the Red Bird line of packets, with steam up—horses harnessed, I mean—and boys mounted, ready to start at the minute, and make connections with all the stage lines along the IMPORTERS k WHOLESALE DEALERS IN VM.

Washington, June 19,1861. Some time since an application was made to the Secretary of War to obtain the admission, duty free, of linen drilling imported for the use of the United States Military Academy, and was refused by him on the ground that the policy of the Government should at all times be to prefer domestic manufactures in all instances of purchases for the public service, and to resort to foreign markets for such articles only as cannot be obtained in this country. By the following it will be seen that the Secretary of War has pursued the same course in referenoe to a recommendation of the engineers department for the admission, duty free, oi two hundred and fifty tons of gas cooking coal and seventy-three tons of cannel coal imported for the use of the Military Academy: "The Secretary of War oannot countenance this importation of coal, by approving of this rooommendation. A better article of ooal of all kinds oan be seonred in this country than can be brought from Europe, and it is deemed due to the great industrial interests of the oonntry that the Government -should foster and epcourag* its own resources instead of those of foreign countries."

A pebble on the walk was my introduction to one of the loveliest and most brilliant of women. We had been on the paoket an hour before I knew that sho had been on a visit to Buffalo, and was summoned home to Rochester by the siokness of her mother. And it was less than that time before her dark eyes, her voice of passionate music, her form of singular grace, and her charming ingeniousness had thrown a spell around me, which seemed to change the whole current of my life.
