SEPTEMBER 1, 1805. "Burn, sink and Destroy." One of the shipmasters, recently arrived from the Arctic ocean, in order to prevent the burning of his vessel, endeavored to reason the question with Capt. Waddell, but the discussion was very abruptly brought, to a close, by the remark, "My orders are to ' burn, sink and destroy/ We are not surprised at such an orWr. It is fit and becoming that the so-called Confederacy should have sent forth armed vessels, to cruise under such instructions. It harmonizes with the policy of a set of men, who did not blush to publish to the world that they were founding a Government with " negro chattel slavery as the corner-stone." It is also in keeping with the policy of the rebel leaders for Captain Waddell to express his ready assent to the report of President Lincoln's assassination, but to be incredulous respecting the surrender of Lee, the fall of Richmond, and the collapse of the so-called Confederacy. The conduct of the commander of th% Shenandoah harmonizes with the policy of a Government which could approve of the Fort Pillow massacre and the starvation of Union prisoners held as prisoners of war. No wonder, while executing such an order, he was unwilling to look his captive skippers in the face. As this is an age of retributive justice, or, as some style it, of poetical justice—in other " {®l&StriK, *)01.2i. 65 words, a fast age—we may expect soon to hear that the Shenandoah has been " spoken" by some American or English war-ship. Justice does not nowadays travel at a snail's pace. Davis is safely lodged in Fortress Monroe, Stephens in Fort Warren, and about thirty of the rebel leaders have been indicted for high treason, while Lieutenant Maury, so long the pet of the Government at Washington, after spending four years in England abusing his native counWe did not try, is now begging a pardon think that such men as Commodore Tatnall and Lieutenant Maury would ever beg that they might be allo.ved to take the oath of allegiance. Verily, Southern chivalry is at a discount. No, it has not quite expired. One more spark flashes out amid the burning and sinking wrecks of the helpless whalemen in the Arctic Ocean. Captain Waddell declines to " bum, sink and destroy" the James Maury, because Mrs. Gray, wife of the late master, is on board. On first hearing this report, we felt that Capt. Waddell was really one of those chivalric sons of the South we have read of; but, oh, what a come-down, when we learned that he had bonded" the vessel for about forty thousand dollars. Let no Southerner, after this act of meanness, talk about the Yankees' love of the almighty dollar. He knew that a few ships must be spared, but to select the James Maury as one, and then say that he did it out of respect to the late captain's wife, by no means elevates his character in our estimation., If Capt. W. had been the gentleman he claims to be, he would have said nothing about the " bond." Waddell, like Shylock, would exact a " bond," but we fancy that when he would collect the "bond," he will find himself in a worse dilemma than was Shylock, who claimed his pound of flesh," but barely escaped with " a halter gratis, nothing else." Not only was the Janus Maury " bonded," but compelled to take on board near two ! " " hundred of the crews of other ships, besides supplying another of the "bonded" ships with thirty barrels of provisions. We think, however, Capt. Waddell's generosity, humanity and chivalry culminated in that beautiful quotation from the lingo of a Feegean cannibal. When the master of one of the "bonded" vessels remonstrated, saying that there were not sufficient provisions on board to supply the ships company until the vessel should arrive at San Francisco, Capt. Waddell bluntly and gruffly blurted out the remark, Eat a kanaka." It must " have been some members of the Waddell family, we opine, who were in command of Andersonville, Libby, Castle Thuffer, Belle Island, and other noted Southern prisons. "Magnifique, Excellent, Pretty Fair !" On beholding Weed's large photographic views of scenery on Maui and ofHonolulu, we involuntarily exclaimed in the above language of the Frenchman, whose astonishment on a certain occasion well-nigh overcame him. The age of wonders and art has not passed away. Knowing the difficulties attending the ascent of Haleakala, we are more than astonished to learn that he succeeded so well in taking views of the largest crater in the world. In a double sense the old Latin phrase, " Res magna est," will apply, to which phrase our late jocose President Lincoln is reported to have furnished the following apt translation : "Itis a big thing." A letter dated Bankok, Siam, April 29, 1865, and written by the Rev. Dr. Dean, of the American Baptist Mission, has been received, informing the editor that a sealed tin box, containing rare and valuable seeds, has been sent to his address. The letter was received by the Onieard's mail, but the box has not come to hand. Any person in San Francisco, or any shipmaster, having said box in possession, will confer a great favor by forwarding the same, and all expenses will be paid. �1H E ¥KIE M U 66 Wreck of the 'Brother Jonathan.'

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. The steamship Brother Jonathan, had the engines which were in tbe steamship Atlantic, which dragged her anchors, drifted on shore anil was wrecked at Fisher's Island, Long Island Sound, on Thanksgiving night, November, 1848. She was cut down and rebuilt under the supervision of Capt. Aaron M. Bums, in this city, two yoars since, and was considered one of the Btauncbest vessels afloat in the wtters of tho Paoifio. The Brother Jonathan was owned by the California Steam Navigation Company. She left here on Friday last, at 10 a. m , under command of Capt 8. J. DeWolf. Wo learn that tho only staff offioer whosswent up with General Wright was Lieutenant E. his Adjutant. Mrs. Wright accompanied her husband. The Oeneral, as has heretofore been announced through the columns of this journal, was en route to Fort Vancouver, to take command of the Department of the Columbia, to whioh he had lately been assigned by the General Government.

Tho Brother Jonathan had six boats on board, three of which were Francis' Patent Life Boats, and the others common ships' surf boats, of capacity to carry 260 people, which is more than the whole number on board. Capt. Connor, of the Sierra Nevada, who arrived from the North on Monday, reports that ho paused tho reported scene of the wreck, at 11 A. M , on Sunduy, and expected to meet the Brother Jonathan near that point, to exchango papers, but saw nothing of her. There was a strong wind and heavy sea ut the time, lie thinks that she foundered about 26 miles to tho north of Cresoent City. There are two places a few miles apart in the vicinity, at which boats could land, and be thinks it possible that some of the passengers may have landed in the other boats, at a poiut eight miles from Chetkoe Harbor, where those reported saved came ashore. Captaiu Jackson, of the Del JVorte, thinks tho Brother Jonathan may have foundered at a point ten miles above Crescent City, in which case some of the boats may have run down to that point. It is to be regretted, in view of the ravages of the pirate Shenandoah, and this great public calamity, that not u Government vessel of any description is now here, except tho revenue cutter Jus Lane, either to protect our commerce or render assistance in recovering the bodies of the victims of the disaster, and ascertaining whether any not yet reported have survived. Mr. Nesbit, of the Evening hulldin, was on a trip to Oregon, Washington Territory and British Columbia, and started with the intention of being absent four or five weeks. He was unmarried, and leaves no relatives in this country. Mr. I'. iohards was of the firm of Richards •& McCraken, well known merchants of this city. Victor Smith, formerly Collector at Port Angelos, Puget Sound, was wrecked ou the Golden Rule, on Ronoador Reef, last month, and the illness which he that time was the cause contracted from of his remaining here when the lost steamer sailed. James R. Richards waa a member of the wellknown Front Btreet firm of Richard 9& McCraken. He was on his way to Victoria to meet his wife, who was en route from Honolulu to Viotoria, on one of the vessels to the firm. He leaves several children here. J. S. Geddes was of the firm of Bosworth & Geddes, another prominent Front street firm. Major Eddy, was going North as Paymaster at Fort Vanoouver, at his own request, in place of Major Fay, first designated for the post. Joseph A. Lord, (brother of Charles Lord, of the firm Of Nudd, Low & C0.,) supposed to havo been lost in the Brother Johnathan, was thirty-six years of age, and a native of Woodstock, Vermont; leaves a wile and one obild. He has been an express messenger for Messrs. Wells, Fargo & Co., on the Northern Coast, since 1868, and was one of the mo9t faithful, capable and amiable of men, unflinching in the discharge of his duties, kind and courteous to all.

News from the "Shenandoah." Wholesale Destruction of American Whalers. From the San Francisco Bulletin. The correctness of the speculations in yesterday'o Bulletin aa to tho whereabouts and probable operations of tho rebel pirate Shenandoah has been only too speedily verified. The arrival of the whaling bark Alilo, Capt. llawes, in our harbor, this morning, brings us news of the most extensive and wholesale destruction of American shipping yet committed by any rebel pirate sinco the beginning of the war. We will commence the story by u Chronological Account, as near as can be ascertained, of the operations of the Shenandoah. The pirate boarded a Hawsiiau schooner on Ihe 30th of March, in lat. I 63 N, lon. 167 W, which was the last news we had respecting her. He inquired of the captain of the schooner the location of our whaling fleet, and, it appears, imnit diately steered in that direction. '1 wo days after wards, on the Ist of April, the pirate reached Aa cension Island, where she found lying at anchor the Kan Francisco whaler Kdward Carey, Capt. Baker, with 275 bbls sperm oil ; the Hawaiian bark Hat ■ vest, Capt. Eldridge, with 300 bbls; the American bark Pearl, Capt. Thompson, empty, (sailed from Honolulu,) and the ship Hector, Capt. Chase, with 276 bbls. All of these vessels were burned, and their officers aod crews, with the exception of those men who joined the pirate, were left on Ascension Island. The Shenandoah then set sail for the Oohotsk Sea, where, on the 27th of May, she captured the whaleship Abigail, Capt. Nye, with 30 bbls sperm oil. After remaining alongside the Abigail one day, and taking from her such clothing, small-arms and liquors as were wauled, she was committed to the flames, nnd, with the Abigail's crew on board, the pirate set sail for the Arotic Ocean. Soon after the crew of the Abigail went on board the Shenandoah, 1. S. Manning, who had been her second officer, John A. Dowdcn, boatstccrer, and thirteen men, mostly Sandwich Islauders, joined the piiates, and are probably still with them. Manning, it may be well to state, was last year third officer of the ship Hill man, from this port. He has a wife living in New York city, lie joined the Shenandoah as pilot, and not only steered (be pilot towards our whaling fleet, but gave the rebel commander the first information as to where it lay. The Shenandoah arrived off Cape Thaddeus, at the entrance'to tbe Arctic Ocean, on the 20th of June. Here she encountered the Euphrates, Capt. Hatha way, with two whales, which was burned on the 21st of June. The nexf dajAshe fell in with and burned the ship William Thompson, Capt. Tucker, ami tho Jireh Swift, Capt. Williams, having four whales c-.ch. Three of the crew of tbe William Thompson, all Englishmen, forthwith joined the pirate. A day or two after, she captured the Milo, Capt. Huwes, with two whales. The captives had by this time become so numerous that Capt. Waddell, the commander of the rebel cruiser, concluded to bond the Alilo instead of burning her, which he accordingly did,in the sum of $46,000, and, putting all his prisoners, who had not deserted their flag, on board of her, gave her a clearance for San Francisco. Just before the Milo set sail for this port, (June 28) the Shenandoah had captured the Susan Abigail, Capt. Redfield, of San Francisco—a trading brig— nnd was lying alongside of her taking in booty when the Milo left. The Milo has been 27 days on her passage to this port, and brings Captains Tucker. Williams, Smith and Hathaway, and about 180 officers and men of the captured Teasels. A Large Fleet of Whalers Near By. Near to where the Shenandoah was last seen was a large fleet of whalers, comprising about sixty Teasels, mostly ice-bound, and it is the opinion of the officers who arrived by the Milo that they have all ere this fallen a prey to the pirate. The evening before the Milo left, Capt. Nye, one of the captains who bad been put on board of her to be sent to this port, left her in a boat, under cover of a dense fog, with the design of going to tbe fleet of whalers and giving them warning. Whether he reached the fleet or not is unknown, but even if he did, it is thought to be very doubtful whether the vessels would be enabled to escape from the pirate. It is believed that the commander of tho Shenandoah dc- �THE I I. iL N signed to fit out one or two of the captured vessels ss privateers, with whioh to destroy tho vessels above tpoken of, and also all other American ships that may be found in these waters. He did not wish to rick the Shenandoah by running ber into the fields iuduoe of ice. Capt. Waddell was very anxious to the men be captured to enlist under his flag, probanew bly for the purpose of getting crews to man tbe few pirstes that he designed fitting out. Vory Americans, however, were persuaded to join bim. How the Shenandoah is Manned and Equipped. From one of the captains, who was 27 days a prisoner on board the pirate, wo learn the following particulars about the rebel craft: She has six guns—two rifled guns at tho bow, two heavy guns amidships and two small guns aft. Sho is a fullrigged ship, with iron frame, iron masts, and iron She is lower yards. Her length is about 260 feet. slight built, and could be easily destroyed by the poorest of Uncle Sam's naval vessels, provided she lew could be got in range, but she is very fast, and vessels in our navy or any other would be able to catch her in a fair chase. Her crew consists of about 160 men, mostly English and Irish. She has a large amount of shot, shell, &c, sufficient to fit out two or three more cruisers like herself. Tbe following is a list of her officers Captain, James I. Waddell, formerly lieutenant in the U. S. Navy ; First Lieutenant Whipple, also formerly of the U. S. Navy; Second Lieutenant, Schells; Third Lieutenant, Lee a nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee; Fourth : Lieutenant, Scales; Fifth Lieutenant, Miner, for- merly secoud officer of the bark Alice, of Cold .Spring, Long Island. This Miner acted as pilot of the Shenandoah in the Ochotsk Sea. Where She Uetn Her Coal. During bis stay on board the Shenandoah, Mr. labor, the mate of the Abigail, became quite intimate with several of the officers and men, and, in conversation, he learned that tbe Shenandoah was to be kept supplied with coal by the English at Melbourne. As confirmatory of this information, it is a noteworihy fact that, on the 18th of June, the schooner Willttm Gifford spoke a large merchantman which refused to answer the hail, and it is believed that this was the coal supply ship on her way to the pirate from Melbourne. iipt. Waddell Thought of the WksVl « Rebellion. On the arrival of the Shenandoah at Cape Thaddeaa, where she captured tho Euphrates and other vessels meutioncd above, Capt Waddell was infoimed of the fact that Lee had surrendered, Richmond was taken, and President Lincoln had been assassinated. Ho replied that he was prepared to hear of the assassination of Okl Abe, for be had expected it, hut decliued to put credence in the statement of the suricoder of Lee and the capture of Richmond. On being assured that such was the fact, he Btill pretended to disbelieve it, and proceeded to destroy the vessels as though the Confederacy" was still a power in the canh, and he was one of its gallant" navil heroes. Treatment of the Captives. The offioerß and crews of the vessels captured by the pirate were generally well treated while on board the Shenandoah, that is to say, they were not put la irons, or otherwise ill-used, hut all their money was laken from ibem; aud, although tbey were told that lliey could keep their olothiug and private property, jet when they took an inventory of the same they fouDd that it had all been overhauled by the pirates sod everything of value stolen. We subjoin the following statements, which will jrivc such further details of interest to the publio as mull he gathered from the officers who arrived by the Milo : Statement of dipt. Ilawes. On the 22d of June, while off Cape Thaddeus, observed a large ship, which we at first took for a whaleship, but, on coming up with her, discovered her to be a stcamev. Upon coming withing speaking distance, her character was apparent, and it was then plain to all that she was a Confederate pirate. The captain of the pirate came on the quarter deck of his ship, and called out iv a sharp, peremptory " manner: " " Ship ahoy ! come aboard and bring your papers." Captain Hawes—" What ship is that.'" Answer—" Never mind. Come aboard aod bring ycur papers, and bear a hand about it, too." l». SEPTEMBER, Upon that, Capt. Hawes went on board the Shenandoah, and was received at the after gangway by a lieutenant, who ushered him into the csbin and in IS6 5. 67 a sort of grayish blue, and very similar to those of our own navy.

Four years ago the world was astonished the uprising of a great people, and the mustering of immense armies. The wiseacres, however, predicted that trouble would come when the war closed and the immense armies were disbanded. How happily have such predictions all failed! Including the rebel armies, not less than 500,000 have been or will be disbanded. The New York Herald thus speaks of the dissolving of the Union armies : Over 120,000 soldiers have been disband- at ed within three weeks, and 80,000 have, since the Ist of June, passed over the railroads from Washington. But a short time ago, the thought of this disbandment, and of the return of these soldiers to their Northern homes, filled many persons with alarm. It was feared that these men, used to the rough life of camp, habituated to the use of deadly weapons and to scenes of blood, would be a wild and reckless element in our society ; that our streets would teem with scenes of violence, and that murders and robberies would become frightfully frequent. These were fears justified to some extent by the experience of other countries, that had suddenly disbanded large armies. But our experience has been very different from that ot any other country in this respect, and all these fears have proved entirely groundless. It would not be possible to bring into our cities any equally large number of men with so few scenes of violence or so little disturbance of public order as has been occasioned by these soldiers. We see the soldiers everywhere. They march up our streets and stack arms, and indulge in a thousand antics of delight. They scatter out in all directions and buy. They are honest, hardy fellows, ragged enough, and happy " as troutiets in a pool." They are bronzed with the suns of fifty Austerlitzes. They have rporc vim and humor than you can find in all the theatres the winter through, but withal they are the most orderly of men. Here and there one, under the influence of rum, may be a little noisy and pugnacious, but even this is not so frequent as one might naturally expect it; and its rarity culls attention only the more strongly to the vast number of returned soldiers that do not outrage public propriety even in that way. The vast majority of these returned soldiers are intent only on going home, seeing home, seeing their families and friends, and finding once more the places in society that they left to serve their country. Personal.— Letters have been received from the Rev. L. Smith and family. They were visiting among friends in New England, and were expecting to be at Williams College, to attend Commencement exercises, about the Ist of August. Mr. Smith is a graduate of that College.

[Communicated.J honor and gratitude of our countrymen. If, the praise due our marine, both domestic and foreign, it is not our intention to reduce them into retirement under the foliage of well-earned laurels ; on the contrary, we wish to encourage them, by a full appreciation of their past services, to renewed exertions on this subject. We are persuaded that there are few cuptains, regularly visiting our ports, who could not earn an ever-green memory by the importation of some useful plant or animal from other countries. No one could do this so well, as they have facilities for transport and the care of such objects which cannot be commanded by mere passengers. For instance, deer, the whole host of insectiverous birds, the edible frog, swans, besides other animals of which I hey may become acquainted, to say nothing of seeds and plants. Both China and California are uncommonly rich in things of this kind, and, as our mariners have not been behindhand on former occasions, they will not, we feel sure, be behindhand in continuing that frood reputation which their former good deeds have so richly merited. Now, here is a chance for distinction, really worth more than cuff-bands or epaulettes to our marine officers, both of national and merchant services, and if they miss immortality it is not our fault. Introduce but one new and useful plant or animal into these Islands and the thing is done. The fountain of perpetual youth was a mere fable, that never immortalized any one; but our receipt is a good one, and we earnestly hope that it will induce many among our mariner friends to lay hold of the matter, that our future history may hand down a long list of benefactors that nourished in the early days of Kamehameha V, all of whom were worthy of following in the footsteps of Outre Pali. Cook and Vancouver. The Sandwich Islands Indebted to Mariners. however, we award We know of no class of men to whom the world is more indebted for its material prosperity than that body rendered illustrious by I the names of Vancouver, Cabot, Kane, Koss, Franklin, and a host of others. Especially is this true of these Islands. Captain Cook $ was our Columbus, and his name is identified with our history, while that of Vancouver, " the good," will last as long as that of Kamehameha the First, the. earliest hero name of our written history. Obliged by our position to be u maritime people, it is fitting that we should be under obligations to great sea-captains, and that we should appreciate the blessings they have conferred upon us. Perhaps a short review of the past may enable us to do so justly. According to native traditions, swine were first introduced here from a foreign ship, the officers of which "wore uniforms, cocked hats and swords." In 1778, Captain Cook introduced, for the first time, sheep and swine of British breed, besides the melon, pumpkin and onion. Shortly after, Captain Colnet introduced sheep upon the Island of Kauai. To Captain Vancouver we are indebted for goats, sheep, cattle, the orangetree, geese, nnd a variety of other precious objects. To Captain J. Manghan belongs, we believe, the honor of having first introduced the Irish potato. To Capt. Cleveland, an American, commander of the Lelia Byrd, belongs the honor of having introduced horses, in 1802 or 1803. They were sent as a present to the " famous King Kamehameha," by the " good old Padre of San Borgia, Mariano Apolonario," of California. Nor have we by any means exhausted the list of those noble-hearted mariners who have been at great pains and expense to enrich these Islands by valuable acquisitions of useful animals and plants; but we have said enough to prove that the former race of sea-captains were not a whit behind those of our own times in public spirit and an unselfish desire of benefiting others. As for the miserable accusation that they also introduced diseases, not the worst of which was the small-pox, they might as well be accused of being wingless ! Writers about the Islands are almost sure to tell us of such ■' merderies" (pardon an energetic word of Rabelais) as the place where and the time when mosquitoes and fleas were introduced,* but when it comes to be a matter of real information, lo! they are off on the interminable theme of their own contemptible exploits, nicely seasoned with reflections upon their betters, who, by the introduction of foreign plants and animals, have won the lasting * " Sandwich Islands. Hv a Hants" " "Vrsivi." 07 H Msl- Change in the Tone of English Newspapers. It is quite amusing to read the recent English newspapers, nnd comthem with the tone of their remarks pare during the early period of the great American civil war. Some of these papers have only "hauled" a point or so, to use a nautical term, while others have " wore ship," and come quite around on the Federal side. The London Patriot says, " We have blundered in our estimate of Lincoln's character, and we cannot afford to make an equal blunder in regard to Johnson." The London Spectator says,"The English ruling class have made one great blunder about the power and temper of the United States;" while the Times, " with tome preliminary vibrations, is coming slowly round." But no one has so gracefully dropped into the Union ranks as Punch. Referring to the assassination, that paper says : comments of Uesids this corpse, that bears for winding-sheet The stars and stripes he lived lo rear anew, Between the mourners at bis head and fact.

SUndsrd. Andrew Johnson and Jefferson Davis. In December, of 1860, while the traitors in Congress were deliberately preparing to destroy the Republic, and when they had finally resolved to steal the forts, and navyyards, and arsenals, to carry off the public treasure, to violate oaths—in a word, to use all the materials and means of the Government which had sheltered and protected them, to consummate its overthrow—there was only one Southern man bold and brave enough to defy them ; only one to exnose their treason ; only one to admonish them of their guilt, and to declare his sacred limits of the Union. That man was Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. He began his conflict with the traitors on the 18th of December, 1860, and continued it until the session in March, 1861. We have more than once in these columns referred to that memorable period. He was, beyond all question, the most conspicuous character in it, as well because of his courage and ability as on account of the solitary and splendid position he maintained, towering high above the crowd of traitors. Thousands will remember those days, but none can forget the hauteur, the insolence, the indignation, and the attempts to brow-beat Governor Johnson on the part of the conspirators, as they were forced to submit to his continued und fearless chastisement. When it was first intimated that he intended to take issue with them, they resorted to cajolery, promises, and at last to the most humiliating entreaties. He was threatened in secret at the start, but finally, when, in utter defiance and contempt alike of their bribes and their intimidations, he spoke out, the whole pack was let loose upon him. Davis, Benjamin, Toombs, Mason, Wigfall, Slidell, and poor Joe Lane, having trained themselves for the struggle, determined to bully and brain the daring man who had audaciously spoken of them in that high presence, and in the hearing of the men and women they had summoned to what they had resolved to be, and what really was, fhe first scene of the rebellion. But in vain. Proudly through all he bore himself, and heawl their taunts, their jibes, their aiiuse, with calm and even unruffled temper, as one conscious of fhe rectitude of his course, and reckless of all consequences personal to himself. Where are these same braggarts now ? Davis is a prisoner at Fortress Monroe; Toombs an outlaw by proclamation of the President ; Mason and Slidell a pair of gentleman vagabonds in Paris, looking vainly to see the shores which fhey left in the hope of returning despotically to rule. All—whether those caught or running, whether those confined in prisons or waiting to fly to foreign lands, or living away from their own homes—all these tyrannical traitors, all, all of them are now at the mercy of that single Senator, who, in 1861, denounced their treason and predicted their overthrow. At the present moment, when the whole civilized world is watching the new phase of the close of the rebellion presented in the capture of Jefferson Davis, and he himself is enclosed in the strong walls of FortresMonroe, the words addressed to him by An, drew Johnson, on the 6th of February, 1861, �70 THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER,. 1865. in the United States Senate, may be appro- priately and profitably reproduced. They are as follows: "I was speaking of the proposition to raise fifteen regiments in my own State, which has been brought forward. Sir, as far back as the battle of King's Mountain, and in every war in which the Tights of the people have been invaded, Tennessee—God bless her—has stood by that glorious flag, which was carried by Washington and followed by the gallant patriots and soldiers of the revolution, even as the blood trickled from their feet as they passed over the ice and snow ; and under tbat flag, not only at home, but abroad, her sons have acquired honor and distinction, in connection with citizens of other States of the Union. She is not prepared to band with outlaws, and make war upon that flag under which she won her laurels. Whom are we going to fight ? Who « invading Tennessee ? Conventions are got up; a reign of terror is inaugurated ; and if, by the influence of a subsidized and mendacious press, an ordinance taking the State out of the Confederacy can be extorted, those who make such propositions expect to have an army ready, to have their bands equipped, to have their praetorian divisions ; then they will tell the people that they must carry the ordinance into effect, and join a Southern Confederacy whether they will or not; they shall be lashed on to the car of South Carolina, who entertains no respect for them, but threatens their institution of slavery unless they comply with her terms. Will Tennessee take such a position as that? I cannot believe it; I never will believe it; and if an ordinance of Secession should be passed by that State under those circumstances, and an attempt made to force the people out of the Union, as has been done in some other States, J tell the Senate and the American people that there are many in Tennessee whose dead bodies will have to be trampled over before it can be consummated. [Applause in the galleries.] The Senator from Mississippi [Jefferson Davis] referred to the flag of his country; and I will read what he said, so that I may not be accused of misrepresenting him: ' It may be pardoned to me, sir, who, in my" boyhood was given to the military service, and who have followed that flag under tropical suns and over Northern snows, if 1 here express the deep sorrow which always overwhelms me when I think of turning from the flag I have followed so long, for which I have suffered in ways it does not become me to speak of, feeling that henceforth it is not to be the banner I will hail with the rising sun and greet as the sun goes down; the banner which, by day and night, I am ready to follow. But God, who knows the hearts of men, will judge between you and us, at whose door lies the responsibility of this.' " There is no one in the United States who is more willing to do justice to the distinguished Senator from Mississippi than myself, and when I consider his early education, when I look at his gallant services, finding him first in the Military School of the United States, educated by his Government, taught the science of war at the expense of his country. tsilrrhf in \nvt> thr Constitution, afterwards entering its service, fighting beneath the stars and stripes to which he has so handsomely alluded, winning laurels that are green nnd imperishable, and bearing upon his person scars that are honorable, some of which have been won at home, others of which have been won in a foreign clime and upon other fields, I would be the last man to pluck a feather from his cap or a single gem from the chaplet that encircles his illustrious brow. But when I consider his early associations, when 1 remember that he was nurtured by this Government, that he fought for this Government, that he won Iwiwrs under the flag of this Government, I cannot understand flow he can be willing to /tail another banner, and desert the one of his country, under which he has won laurels and received honors. This is a matter of taste, however ; but it seems to me that, if I could not unshcath my sword in vindication of the flag of my country, its glorious stars and stripes, I would return the sword to its scabbard ; I would never sheath it in the bosom of my mother ; never ! never! Sir, my own feelings in reference to that flag arc such as must have filled the heart of that noble son of South Carolina, Joel R. Poinsett, when, nearly thirty years ago, in an address to the people of Charleston, lie ators who have attacked me, in vindication of myself. I have been attacked on all hands, by some five or six, and may be attacked ajrain. All that I ask is that, in making these attacks, they meet my positions, answer my arguments, refute my facts. I care not for the number that may have attacked me, I care not how many may come hereafter. Feeling that I am right—that argument, that fact, that truth are on my side—l place them all nt defiance. Come one, come all; for I feel, in the words of the great dmmntic poet, " ' . Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel jusl Andhe but nuked, though lucked up in steel. Whose, conscience with seccs-lon ii corrupted.* " I have been told, and I have heard it repeated, that this Union is gone. It has been said in this Chamber that it is in the cold sweat of death ; that, in fact, it is really dead, and merely lying in state waiting for the funeral obsequies to be performed. If this be so, and the war that has been made upon me in consequence of advocating the Constitution and the Union is to result in my overthrow and in my destruction, and that flag, that glorious flag, the emblem of the Union, which was borne by Washington through a seven years' struggle, shall be struck from (he Capitol and trailed in the dust, when this Union is interred I want no declared : more honorable winding-sheet than that have been, I have been brave old flag, and no more glorious grave "' Wherever aI citizen of this Republic, than to be interred in the tomb of the proud of being and to the remotest corners of the earth Union.
