The Defence of Lucknow.
3! ALT!!!) TENNYSON-
I.
Bmfi of England, not for a season, 0 ban-
ner of Britain, hast thou .
Floated in conquering battle or flapt to the
battle—cry!
Never with mightier glory than when we had
reared thee on high »
Flying at top of the roofs in the ghastly siege
of Lucknow-—
Shot thro’ the staff or the halyard. but ever
we raised thee anew,
And ever upon the topmost roof our banner
of England blew.
ii.
Frail were the works that defended the hold
that We held with our lives——
Women and children among us, God help
them, our children and wives!
Hold it we might—and for fifteen days or for
twenty at most.
‘ ‘Never surrender, I charge you, but every
man die at his post ! "
Voice of the dead whom we loved, our Law-
renee, the best of brave:
Cold were his brows when we kissed him——
we laid him that night in his grave.
"Every man die at his post I” and there hail'd
on on ses and balls
Death fro their rifle bullets, and death
from their cannon-balls,
' Death in our ii nermost chamber, and death
' at our slight barricade, -
Death while we stood with the musket, and
death while we stoopt to the spade,
Death to the dying, and wounds to the wound-
ed, for often there fell
Striking the hospital walls, crashing thro’ it,
, their shot and their shell,
Death—for their spies were among us, their
marksmen were told of our best,
So that the brute bullet broke thro’ the brain
that could think for the rest;
Bullets would sing by our foreheads, and bul-
lets would rain at our feet—
Fire from ten thousand at once of the rebels
that girdled us round—
Dcath at the glimpse of a finger from over
the breadth of a street,
Death from the heights of the mosque and the
palace, and death in the ground 1’
Mine? yes, a mine! Counterminei down,
doWnl and Creep thro’ the hole!
Keep the revolver in hand! You can hear
him—the murderous mole.
Quiet, ah! quiet—wait till the point. of the
pickax be thro’!
Click with the pick, _coming nearer and near-
e‘ragain than before— ‘
Now let it"speak, and you fire, and the dark
pioneer is no more; -
And ever upon the topmost roof our banner
of England blew.
Ay, but the foe sprang his mine many times,
and it chanced on a day
Soon as the blast of that underground thun-
derciap echo'd away,
Dark thro' the smoke and the sulphur like so
many fiends in their hell—
Cannon-shot, musket-shot, volley on volley,
and yell upon yell—
Fiercely on all the defences our myriad
enemy r311. . .
What have they done ? where is it? Out yon-
der. Guard the Redan _!
Storm at the Water-gate! storm at the Bail—
ey-gatet storm, and it ran
Surging and swaying all around us, as ocean
on every side
Plunges and heaves at a bank that is daily
drown’d by the tide—-
So many thousands that ifthey be bold enough
who shall escape ?
Kill or be kiil’d, live or die, they shall know
we are soldiers and men!
Ready! take aim at their leaders—their
masses aré gapp’d with our grape—
Backward they reel like ~ the wave, like the
wave flinging forward again,
Flying and foil’d at the last by the handful
they could not subdue;
And ever upon the topmost roof our banner
of England blew.
IV. ‘
at
Handful of men as we were, we were En-
glish in heart and in' limb,
Strong with the strength of the race to com—
mand,.to obey, to endure,
Each of us fought as if hope for the garrison
hung buton him;
Still—could we watch at all points? we were
every day fewer-"and fewer.
There was a whisper among us, but
whisper that past: -
“Children, and wives—if the tigers leap into
the fold unawares-‘-
Every man die at his post—and the fee may
outlive us at last—
Better to fall by the hands that they love,
than to fall into theirs! " ‘
Roar upon roar in a moment two 'mines
by the enemy sprung
Clove into perilous chasms our walls and our
poor paiisades.
Rifiemen, true is your heart, but be sure that
your hand he as true 1
Sharp is the fire of assault, better alm'd are
your flank fusillades— ‘
Twice do we hurl them to earth from the
ladders to which they had clung,
Twice from the ditch where they shelter we
drive them with hand-grenades;
And ever upon the topmost roof our banner
of England blew.

v.
Then on another wild morning another wild
earthquake out-tore
Clean from our lines of defence ten or twelve
good paces or more. _ " ‘
Riflemen, high on thereof, hidden there from
the light of the sun-—
One has leapt up. on the breach, crying out :
“Follow me, follow me! "—
Mark him—hefalls! then another, and him
too, and down goes he.
Had they been'bold enough then, who can
on but the traitors had won ?
Boardings and rafters and doors—an embra—
aure! make’way for the gun!
Now double-charge it with grape!
charged and we fire, and they run.
Praise to our Indian brothers, and let the
dark face have his due!
Thanks to the kindly dark faces who fought
. with us, faithful and few,
Fought with the bravest among us, and drove
them, and smote them, and slew.
That ever upon the topmost roof our banner
in India blew.
Vi.
Men will forget what we suffer and not what
we do. We can fight;
But to the soldier all day and be sentinel all
through the night.—
Ever the mine and assault, our. sallies, their
lying alarms.
Eagles and drums inthe darkness, and shout-
ings and soundings to arms,
Ever the labor of fifty that had to be done by
five, .
Ever the marvel among us that one should be
left alive, ‘ _
Ever the day with its traitorous death from
the loopholes around,
Ever the night with its cofiinless corpse tobe
laid in the ground,
II like the mouth of hell, or a deluge of
cataract skies, -
Stench of old offal decaying, and infinite
tomcat of flies, .
Thoughts of the breezes of May blowing over
an English field,
Cholera, scurvy, and fever, the wound that
would not be healed,
It is
Lapping away of the limb by the pitiful
pitiless knife,—
Torture and trouble in vain,-—t’or it never
could save us a life, . '
Valor of delicate women who tended .the
' hospital bed.-
Borror of weinen in travail among the dying
and dead.
Grief for our perishing clildren, and never a
moment for giiif,
T011 and ineifable wearincss, faltering hopes
of relief, -
Havelock baflied, or butchered for all that
we knew—-
Then day and night, day and night, coming
flown on the still—shattered walls
Millions of musket-bullets, and thousands of
cannon-balls—
But ever upon the topmost roof our banner
of England blew.
vii.
Hark cannondadc, fusilladc! isit true what
was told by the scout?
Outram and Havelock breaking their way
through the fell mutinccrs! .
Surely the pibroch of Europe is ringing again
in our ears! ,
All on a sudden the garrison utter a jubilant
shout,
Havclock's glorious Highlanders answer with
conquering cheers, .
Forth from their,holes and their hidings our
women and children came out,
Blessing the wholesome white faces of IIavc-
lock’s good fusilccrs,
Kissing the war—hardened hand of the High-
lander wct with their tears! _
Dance to the pibroch !—saved! we are saved!
—is it you P is it you ?
Saved by the valor of Havclock, saved by the
blessing of Heaven 1
“Hold it for fifteen days!”
for eighty-seven!
And over aloft on the palace roof the old ban-
ner of England blew.

The First Steamboat.
A CERTIFICATE FROM WASHINGTON—WHERE
FULTON PICKED UP THE IDEA.
Several years ago, when at Berkeley
Springs, W. Va., I was favored with a sight
of, and the privilege of copying some valua-
ble records,establishing conclusively the facts
with regard to the invention of the steamboat,
and knowing the taste many readers of the
Herald have for antiquarian researches, I Will
publish some extracts. In June, 1784, James
Rumsey and Robert Throckmorton opened a
boarding house at Berkeley Springs, for, as
they expressed it, in a published notice, “the
residence of ladies and gentlemen who may
honor the bath at the sign of the liberty pole
and flag.” This same Rumsey was in advance
of Fulton in inventing a model of a boat
propelled by steam. Sir John’s Run, a sta-
tion known to all travellers on the Balti-
more and Ohio road, and the stopping place
of those who propose going to Berkeley
Springs, is named from a little creek near by,
which bears the name of Captain Sir John
Sinclair, chief quartermaster of Braddoek’s
army, who passed through this section With
his men on their ill-fated journey to Fort
Duquesne. Sir J ohn’s Run, at the pomt
where it empties into the Potomacdias or had
a secluded little harbor, which has the honor
of having been the first American waters to
bear a steamboat, as tradition and written
récord both aflirm. It was a rude model that
Rumsey, who see have been fully aware
of its value, first ex ibited there to a select
company of visitors to Berkeley Springs in
the year 1784. N 0 less a person than George
Washington, paler pate-us, was one of the
favored few who witnessed the successful
launch of the little boat, and testified to the
value of the discovery. Fearful of his in-
vention being stolen, Ramsey appcavs
to have sworn all who witnessed the experi-
ment to secrecy, for the certificate as to its
probable importance, given him by General
Washington, and meant for publication, is so
carefully worded as to avoid using the word
steam. It reads:
I have seen the model of Mr. Ramsey’s boat
constructed to work a ainst the stream ; examin-
ed the powers nponw _ich it acts; been eye Wit-
ness to an actual experiment in running. waters
of some rapidity, and give it as my opinion (al-
though I had little faith before) that he has dis-
covcrcd the art of working boots by mechanism
and small manual assistance against rapid cur-
, route; that the discovery is of vast importance.
may be of the greatest usefulness, in our inland
navigation ; and it it succeeds,“ which I have no
doubt, that the value of it is greatly enhanced by
‘thcslmplicity of the work, which when explain-
ed. may be executed by the most common inc-
chanic. Given under my hand and seal. in the
town of Bath. County of Berkeley. in the State of‘
Virginia, this 71h of September. 1784.

Later, Rumsey gave a more public exhibi—
tion on the river at Shepherdstown, Va., and
afterward, encouraged by his success. sailed
for England, but thought it necessary first to
destroy his precious model. He hoped. in
that older and richer country to perfect his
work and realize both fame and fortune. He
was doomed to bitter disappomtment, for,af-
tor a long and harrassing struggle, he died
before completing and satisfactorily demon-
strating the principles of.a new model.
A gentleman of my acquaintance told me
he had until not many years ago in his pos-
session letters written by Rumsey while in
London, which made mention of receiving
frequent visits there from a young American
studying engineering, who showed a sympa-
thetic and intelligent interest in Rumsey’s
labors. This was no other than Robert Ful-
ton, who nineteen years after Rumsey's death,
gave the world a successful steamboat.
-—Mz‘ss Grundy in Boston. Herald.
oonnxcriox.
Miss Grundy has but revived a controversy
which was carried on in pamphlet form be-
tween J 01m FITCH of Connecticut—(a lineal
ancestor of the older Norwnlk Fitch family)
and James Ramsey, in which it is clearly de-
monstrated that our Connecticut inventor an-
tedatcd Rumscy’s steam-boat by at least two
years. Fitch, in his pamphlets, printed in
1778;anl which may be found in the Con—
gressional Library, thus‘quotes from Rumsev
himself : “I should certainly have quitted
my steam. engines though in great forward-
ness, and have produced the boat for which I
has? obtained the certificate, div.” '(That of
Washington, as above) had not a Mr. Fitch
come out at this critical minute with his
steamboat, die. “Had I exhibited my first
boat it would have been construed into an
acknowledgement of Mr. Fitch’s assertion, by
producing a boat with which steam haOtothinf/
to do; these considerations compelled me to
pursue the perfecting of my steam engines
with increased ardor.” “Thus.” continues
Fitch in his pamphlet, “I have a proof from
himself, that the certificates from Gen. Wash-
ington, £30., had no reference to steam. I am
confident that he never conceived me to be a
rival in navigating boats, until he found his
Own plan (that of water wheels and paddles
turned by cranks by man-power) hopeless and
mine likely to succeed.”
Architect Clark, having caused a picture of
Fulton and his steam—boat to be painted over
the door of the Senate Committee-room on
Patents. his attention was called by your cor-
respondent to the injustice of thus perpetrat-
ing a historical deception or misconception,
inasmuch as both Fitch and Rumscy had ap-
plied steam for the propulsion of boats——
(Fitch thirty, and Rumsey, probably about
twenty-eight years) before Fulton’s attempt.
This led Mr. Clark to a careful examination
of the subject and a positive conclusion that;
to J onN Fircu of Connecticut, belonged the
honor of being the first man in the world,
within the knowledge of liistory,-to put afloat
and propel a boat by steam power. As a re-
sult, he immediately had con5picuously paint-
ed on a near panel, an ideal portrait of Con-
necticut’s clock maker, geographer and first
steamboat builder, JOHN FITCH, to the end
and for the purpose that the "truths of his-
tory might be vindicated.” ‘

The Party of' Revolution Dis-
mayed.
A party that has undertaken to begin a
revolution should have for leverage a popu-
lar and deeply-seated sense of. wrong and a
clearly expressed, popular determination to
obtain redress. ' Stoppagc of supplies is sug-
gestive of ferment among the people; thi
men who propozejt, evei as a contingency,
should be reasonably sure that the people
will sustain there action. In the present
instance not one of these conditions exists.
The Democratic party out of doors gave no
intrigues of managers who desire to cope
ture in advance the outerworks of the Pros-
idency. So far, the popular effect has been
the opposite for that hoped for. The Demo-
crats arc puzzled and dismayed; the Re-
publicans are united, alert. and resolute.
The Democrats see that their leaders have
chosena position which does not admit of
defense. 'The Republicans feel that they-
are in the presence of an old enemy under
a new flag, and thathaving saved the Union,
the countryle stand by them in their
fight for the Government. '* The anxiety of
Southern Senators to explain shows that they
comprehend the drift of events.»~New York

The Colored. Man’s Winning»
~ Card.‘
In an editorial headed “It cannot be
Denied". the New Orleans Times warns the
people of Louisiana that something must be,
done and that immediately, about the exodus
of color“ labor from that State. It is evi-
dently alarmed at the prospect and has ar-
rived at the conclusion that it will not pay to
deny or ignore the facts and that-the sooner
they are met and grappled with the better.
It says:-
The sensation of the day is, of course, the
stampede of the ncgroes from the cotton
region of the State. The effects of this ex-
odus are already being felt; they are very
serious in their nature and must be seriously
regarded. It is no use for journals in this
city to cry “poppycock” and _ “gammon.
Would it were; The .negrocs, like a flock of
frightened sheep, or a drove of insane swmc,
are making head first to the river, and noth-
ing but the most determined efforts Will
prevent the depopulation of the upper coun-
try. The causes of this fright have already
been described and, when the character of
the negro is considered, these causes appear
sufiicicntly reasonable. An additional 1n-
ccntive to action on their part comes from
the favorable report. made of the prospects
of the ncgroes who have already left for
Kansas. It is well shown that the colored
churches in St. Louis have banded together
and are furnishing the needed ass1sstcncc.
In this work the local committees are
aided by the AntieSlavcry Boeicty of New
York.
0f the result of this movement it speaks
in' feeling tones and deplores the consequen-
ces, citing for example the following cases in
point:—
Not a week ago came an extensive planter
to this city to arrange for advances on his
coming crop. He make satisfactory ar-
rangements and w s on the point of return-
ing home when t ere arrived a telegram
telling him his hands had left. In consc-
quencc, his arrangements had to be cancelled
and he is a ruined man. Every day the same
scene is enacted in this city. The cotton
planter wishes advances; the commission
merchants ask what -are the prospects.
What, indeed. are his prospects under the
present condition of things ? There seems
to be‘ hardly any remedy except perhaps
'where some of the men who have interesls at
the stake were to go into the parishes and
persuade the ncgroes into a better frame of
mind; even this plan might fail,_liowevcr,.
as there are now men in these parishes who
have an ear‘ of the ncgroes and are domg
all they can to persuade them to leave. As
a last resource, however, something must be
done to persuade the ncgroes tomovc into
the sugar region, where tranquility reigns
and the laborer not only gains but achivcs,
his hire.
Advices from Mississippi show that the
same movement is going on there and the
planters are taking alarm thercat. Some of
these have so far recovered their senSes as
to declare that political considerations must
give way to the necessities of the situation
and that the ncgroes must be allowed to
think and vote, as they please—and have
their votes fairly counted, an admission
which is important! Other planters have
petitioned the Governor to convene the
Legislature that laws may be enacted re-
straining the colored laborers from leaving
the State. Again others are attributing the
exodus to the work of northern agents who
are classed with the abolistionists of former
times, and are threatened with like treat-_
ment if caught. _ We are glad to see that
the southern people are being stirred up to
a sense of the risk they run, through their
own foolish and suicidal policy of denying
the colored citizen his legal rights, and the
latter now having the game in his own
hands, we trust he will play it out to the
last card and drive the lazy, bulldozing
murdering element in the south, into its last
ditch and there starve it out. The New
Orleans Times, a very fair and reasonable
paper, has the honesty and good sense to
make the following statement to its readers
on this important subject :—
“It is understood that .an organization is
being made to keep the ncgroes from on-
tirely quitting the State, for it is conceded
by the wise that the ncgroes are the. best
field workers in existence, and that this
State will go to the dogs without them,
This is the truth, although it hurts the pride
of the average country politician to admit it.
This great change in the population of this
State is going on now and there is no time
to lose if a good result is to be obtained.
The danger is one of the present momcit
and the remedy must be applied at once or
not at all. At such a moment as this the
people of Louisiana must not ask to be call-
cd twice to look after their interests; 111::
case has been clearly and honestly stated-—
the next thing is action.”
The Approaching Crisis.
The “Revolution” advances step by step.
It is now seriously and very pcrtinaciously
contended that the President has no right
to veto a measure that the majority of Con-
gress determine to put through for partisan
purposes. This is substantially denying
the power clearly granted by the Constitu-
tion, for whatever power is conferred by the
Constitution carries with it the right to ex-
ercise that power. This is another step in
the direction .of revolutionizing the Consti-
tution itself by destroying its powers through
Democraticlegislation. This is a Wide step.
Now let us take :1 reckoning as to the pro—
gress of this “revolution.” The first step
is in the direction of removing from a law
the power of its own enforcement, which
is equivalent. to an overturn of the consti—
tutional rights of citizenship. This isa bold
and somewhat alarming step. The next
step is an assault upon the constitutional
power and right of exercising the prcroga—-
tive of the veto on any measure under tlzc
dictates of his own judgment and sense
of duty. This comes but alittlc short of
rcpudialing the Constitution outright. It'
is :1 gradual approach in that dizcct'on.
For the purpose of intimidating the Pres-
ident’s from a fearless exercise 6f his
his powers in this crisis. hints are given
out in speech on the floor of Congress by
Democratic statesmen that the President's
title to the chair he now occupies is very
questionable, and the tenure of his offices
as fixed by the Constitution, is very doubt~
ful.
Allthcsc things have a meaning. They
are not the vaporings and froth of pas-
sionate impulse. They have a deeper and
more important meaning than the effer-
vesence of mere party feeling and passion.
They have a purpose which aims at the
Constitution and laws of the United States
upon which hang the protection of the
rights of citizenship; the peace and pros—
perity of the country, and the perpetuity
of .thc Republic. There is now but one
short stop between the position occupied by'
the Democrats in Congress and the overturn
of the Constitution and the unscating of
the President by force. The country has
nogunmntocs that that step will not soon
be lzilicll, while the signs of the limos point
too strongly in that direction not to excite
attention if not alarm. Much as the Dem-
ocrats attempt to disguise it, it is becoming
too apparent to go unhcedcd, that ‘a con-
spiracy is fast ripening which has for its
purpose to destroy the safeguards that now.
environ the dearest rights of the citizen by
abrogating law and right; to overturn and
trample the Constitution in the dirt, peace-l

Mister Sport and ’Lcery chasin’ ther shados
or ther shados chasin’ ’em—I don’t kno wich
- —for aparcel of man'acs to set an’ lafii at.
This ’cre world’s bin ni onto 19 hundred
years turnin’ over an’ twistin’ roun’, an’ pee-
pel wa’kin an’ runnin' all the while, but kno
one knowd it till jest a few months ago. An’
now peepel go an’ pay tcw see a fool wriggle
his legs an’ feet ’roun’ a sawdus' beep. It
makes me indigent, it due, jes’ tew see what
fools ther air what don’t knowd nothin’.
There’s ’em boys chawin’ my new barn fioor
inter slivers with ther feet, jes’ tew see
who’l ware out the most 'shoe leather an’
scoop in the most laps, (that's wat they call
’em). I’ll scoop ’cm in my lap before they
kno what’s what. Guess they’ll git ’nough
‘laps’ then.
“I’ve jest him from tlict burn, an’ when I
arriv ther in the door, wat do yew think I
seed ? Why, mercy onine, J edediah’s clothes
were all off—ceptin’ his pants,‘—an' on his
back waz draw’d, in wagin greeze, mind yu,
in grate big letters, ‘Lecry.’ But when I
seed my grate big. son, Hezikiah, n rushin'
’roun thct barn with nothin’ on but a pair of
hiz little sisters’ torn pantletts, an’ one of
her yello hed ribbins tide ontew ’em. an’ put
over one shoulder to keep ’em on, an' one of
my best napkins wipin’ on the swet off, I
thort I’d gone clean out of my bed. An’ I
hollered out tew see if it pare me. For ni
ontew ten minits'I chew’d my gums (I ain’t
got any teeth so I fallback ontew my gums),
faster than a 49 horse power could trot, an’
then I woke up out ontew my sumanbulism
an’ wen? to work. First, I calmly put my
knittin’ needles an’ stockin’ intew my pockit
an’ laid my spektikles on top of my bed ,
tnrncd up my dress so as not to get it all
mud, as they had spred dust on the floor a
set-in as how they couldn’t find any sawdus,
an’ they a swettin so,made it muddy fur com-
fortable walkin’, after which proceedins I
sailed intew, pretty suddint, the one whose
back was marked, with wagin greeze,‘Sport’.

I, in mvmind. Well, they were jest spinnin
’round'thet mud ring like mad. When Hez-
ikiah kim ’round ther next time I jes’ landed
onto him‘ for they hadn’t nether on em seed
me yit, an’ I took him by them air pantlettes
of his sisters an’ the hair of the bed an' bro’t
him over ontew my knee. ‘Dang yew,’ says
he, ‘I ain’t made that lap, yet.’ ‘Yes yer
hev’, says I, ‘yewv made one lap what’ll
bring you sorrow, my son,’ I sed, as I dusted
thet torn spot in them pantlettcs. I guess his
brother J eddy, seein’ him ,gettin’ so many
s—laps ahed thort he’d better git out, for he'd
gone when I turned ’round. An’ when I got
back intew the house I found the chickens
hed held a settin’ match. But my mind is
all in a stew on account on’t, an'll hev to

A Lawyer Nonplussed.
We recall a story of Mayor Waller's which
he used to tell with an unlimited relish of the
humor of it, although it fell upon himself.
He had been retained by a female petitioner
in a divorce suit, had prepared the case and
had it specially set down for trial. Just be-
fore the case was called the woman inter-
viewed him and said:
“I want you to stop that case.”
“Cannot do it, ma’am,” replied the Mayor
urbanely, “the witnesses are all here and the
court in readiness.”
“I Want you to stop it," repeated the W0-
man.
“I cannot do it,” again replied the Mayor.
“But you must,” declared the woman.
“But I shall not,” replied the Mayor.
“Yes, you will,” said the Woman.
“Why P” inquired the Mayor.
"Because,” answered the woman, “my bus-
band has just been drowned in the Metis."
The case was stopped.
