When "Jacob, weary, desolate, The object of a brother's hate, Was exiled from his home; He lingered at the setting sun Ihe day's sad task of travel done And rested 'ueath Heaven's starry dome, At Bethel. Alone, yet not aline, was he, Exposed, but still from danger free, Cast dowu, yet undismayed; With gathered stones" beneath his head, And God's all-watchful care o'erspread, He slept as on a downy bed, At Bethel. And as he slept, and as he dreamed, "A ladder set on earth" there seemed, Whose top reached info Heaven;" While on its rounr1?, with active feet, Ascending and de6cending" meet, 'Angels" of God, bright vision given, At Bethel. And lo! the Lord above it stood, And spoke him promises of good, Ilia promises and His keeping; Then taught him when he woke to kneel, And reverential awe t- feel For him who watched him sleeping At Bethel. Methinks a ladder since was set, And God looked down and angels met, rlhe missile's course to guide; Where nobly stood nur gallant band, Loved Jacob's of this Southern land, Aud tought fur. freedom, side by side, At Bethel. Ye Southrons now, like Jacob, kneel, Your altar rnihe, like Jacob feel, '1 urn, turn ynur hearts to Uraven; "I was not by numbers nor by power, He taved you in the perilled hour Give II mi the praise for vict'ry giTen At Bethel. Go on, protected by His care, You need no brother's hate to fear, Nor thrust of deadly tteel; A righteous cause 'tis yours to know, ' Then htrong in conscious duty go 7 rust Him who guarded you for weal At Bethel.

An Incident. After the Vienna battle last week, a South Carolina soldier, who had been out. on it scout, was arrested ly three of the retreating Yankees, who. alter dinnming him, fit out for the Federal camp, 'calculatin ' largely, no doubt on the welcome plaudits that awaited them for their heroic exploit. But all things fair are doomed to fade. After marching some distance the party came to a halt stacked arms, which wer topped with the sword bayonet, and two of them went in pursuit of water, leaving the Carolina captive in charge of the Yankee captor. The former watch ed his time,, and when the watering party was out of sight, seized a bayonet, and at a single stroke almost severed the head" from the body of his companion, after which he quietly took possession of the arms, and marched to the camp of his friends.

The United States' steamer Harriet Lane, from iortres"? Monroe, arrived at - New York onTuea 1 'day. with six invalids from the flag-ship Minnesota ! the master. Byers, and ihree seamen pf the prixe brig Hattie Jackson, and the officers arid nine of the crew of fhe privateer Savannah. The follow ing particulars we copy from the Evening Post: The Harriet Lane comes toihe Brooklyn Navy Yard to replace her present armancnt with more ! effective ordnance.' She is now armed with three 32's, four 24 'a, ' and 'one I2;-potmd guni' A long range rifle gun. eight inch, capable of throwing an ; elongated shell of one hundred and twenty poundi, j and whose range is said to be five miles, has been j prepared for the Harriet Lane, and will be ptit on board. Ihe gun is now at Governors Island With this gun forward, and, as Capt. Faunce d sires, four rifled 24's or 32's aft, the Harriet Lane will become one of the most serviceable vessels in our Navy. TIIE OFFICERS AND CREW OF THK TRIVATEER x SAVANNAH. . . The news that th Harriet Lape had brought portiou of the crew of the privateer Savannah attracted a considerable number of visitors to the Navy Yard' this morning. The vessel, however, lay in fhe stream near the buoy, and access to the vessel was somewhat difficult. By the courtesy of Captain baunce one of our reporters went on board, and had an interview, with the prisoner. The officers were on the deck aft, sittiug inside of a temporary shelter formed from a mainsail, and were Having a good time. i iiey were uncon- fincd. -The crew were on the starboard eidaof fhe upper deck, sitting on a long bench by the side t)f tlio w heel-house. J hey were all hand-cuffed, but wore no other iron. . , TUE OFFICERS. - . The captain of the privateer. Sayannah call himself Harrison Baker. He says he was' born in Jrhiladeiplua, and is now thirty-seven years old He is a tall, full-bearded, by no means repulsive looking man, and was neatly dressed in a suit of blue flannel. He has lived in Charleston for a long time, and has ' followed the sea" more or less for the past fifteen years. He is great on prece dents. Everything that he har done has beeu, to use his own language, "as privateers usually do, thus: He took out his letter, and intended to tuake a short cruise, say thirty days, after the usual cu.-tom of paivateers; the men were to share ac cording to the proceeds of prizes captured, (" as privateers," &c ,) and the prises taken were to be sent into the nearest port and delivered to " the Confederate Prize Commissioners," who would decide as to their disposal. His crew were generally shipped by an agent and sent on board. He knew a few of the men, and fhe- best of them were sent in with the first and only priie captured the brig Joseph, from Cardenas. Our reporter noted with some. sur prise the frankness with which Capt Baker spoke of his affairs, particularly with regard to the prize Joseph. It will be remembered that the Perry brought one of the crew, who is supposed to be disposed to turn State's evidence, aud . it is upon his testimony mainly, with regard to the Joseph, that the District Attorney look's for a conviction of the prisoners. There will be no difficulty in obtaining a sufficiency of evidence, as all the offi cers a tid crew speak of the capture as aa ordinary business transaction according to " the usual custom of '.privateers." - The captain was yery envious to know what " the people of New York thought. of him." He says that he is not over and above anxious about his present condition as a prisoner. . He his done nothing more than "is usual," fcc. "If we had the right sort of a crew, wo should have got, away from the Terry. II is vessel was .able to get away from any sailing ship, and he meaut to keep clear of the steamers, and indeed of United States vc-sst ls generally.. , . - 1 he prisoner, "Geo Knickerbocker, brought by the' Perry, claims to be a New Yorker, and to have been impressed. Baker says he shipped with him aa George Livingston, and received. 20 as an ad vance at the time of his shipment. .John IlarlestoD is the first, officer. He is a South Carolina man, 23 years old, and,ays h is not a sailor; nor does he look like one. but ap- pears, as he says, like a man brought up in busi ness a delicate-handed, rather gentlemanly-looking man. The sailing master, Henry C. Howland, is a North Carolina man, 28 years old, and a sailor. The purser of the-Savatinah, C. S. Passailaigue, is a young South Carolinian, "only 19 years old," a decidedly good-looking, well behaved young fellow, who ha been a mailing clerk and assistant book keeper in the Charleston : Mercury office. This is his first cruise as purser of a privateer. ' The general oppearanre of these four tnen whs favorable. They had nothing of the desperate or even rowdy look that would naturally attach to men in their profession. The officer of the Lane spoke of them as quiet and well-behaved, and the prisoners desired to return their grateful thanks for the kindness extended to them by the officers both of the Perry and Harriet Lane. When they were transferred from the Perry to the Minnesota they were strictly confined, and were not allowed to converse with any cneon board. On the Lane the officers were merely re stricted to their quarters aft, and a single sentinel kept guard over them. Their communication with each "other was unrestrained, and tbey were well fed and kindly treated "as prisoners of war." The following description of the landing of the crew of the above vessel is taken from the New York Tribune: - At 2 o'clock p. m.f the marshal and his party went down to the Castle Garden pier, where they embarked on the tog boat S. A. Stephens, and proceeded to the Harriet Lane. The marshal, on ) gapping on board, was met at the gangway-by j First Lieut. Constable, to whom he presented his warrant. The lieutenant 'conducted the marshal aft, to an enclosure made of an old sail, and ther formally introduced hiuu tb the "officers of the pirate craft. 1 ' 'x: ' " 1 The marshal, although apparently surprised at the distinguished consideration with which these pirates were presented, politely shook" the hand of - Capt. Baker, -rlacmg some ot his men aoont as a guard, he went upon the bridge, where the erew fl V 0 LU II E---N ftf B E U 412. of tht pirate were stationed, handcuffed, and ia charge of an armed guard. The handcuffs which they had worn were now removed, and, by means of others which- the marshal bad brought, the men wer-s handcuffed together in pain aid transferred to tho." steamboat,; thir , baggage bejag; carried aboard after them by th crew, of the Harriet Lane. The officers not yet. ironed wer . next ordered aboard, and the pirate captain,, cordially shaking hands with Lieut. ConatabU, said, vGood bye, sir! . I.' hope we may- meet., gaior . under , r4caarjeircuTnataBe8.,',- t,-i When the boat landed at the foot, of Chambers street, the prisoners, in pairs, proceeded .bytheir officers, and guarded pa each side by armed marsh als and policemen, marched,. p to the marshal's office. The melancholy 'procession--, for. it waa sad to see thirteen . men marohiuR, strajgkj to their doom attracted some notice from.passers bt and by the time that Broadway. was reached, , not only was there a tolerably large scouting and .skirmish ing party of ragamuffins, but also no lack of; those miserable harpievtho .shyster-lawyers'" who at tempted to get into eonverautkm -with the prison ers, but were repulsed by , tbei guard,.,''. The three pirate officers seemed to feel keenly . tho. jdegrcda tion of their position. As they walked together, they pulled their ooat cuffs over their mauaclos to hide them from view and hung their .heajs'o, us to escape the curious scrutiny pf the people. . At the wharf, they begged the marshal to permit them to go in a carriage; but why they should Shrink from observation, unless conscious that,' with "all their stars and bars, and letters of marque, they had been in a dirty business, is cot easily explained. AT THE TOMBS. . Arrived at the Tombs, their hand-cuffs' wore re jTioved and as each answered to his name,, he was sent into the cells. . " 1 A thorough search of .their persons was then made, but as a similar operation had -been pre viously performed, no dangerous weapons ; wero disoovered. Passailague, the purser, was fur from pleased with the interior arrangement - of tho Tombs. An intimation that Hicks, the -pirate, had condescended to occupy tho same quarters, and been satisfactorily disposed of, at last silenced any further grumbling. v ;? It-is the intention of the District Attorney to present them for trial to-day or to-morrow and thus bring the matter before the court immediately. ., SOME OP THEIR LEADERS. ' The ruffian horde gathered trout the bar-rooms and gutters of the North, and about to be precipita ted upon our homes and firesides. are very appropri ately officered. No other eiviiiaud country in fhe world would admit lutoits armies as. Genera w and Colouels such characters as those wo. nama .bel.r-v. The fact shows to what an extent the North 1 is demoralised and how little honor, character, and decencyjs prised by the peoplo w!k have, elected vulgar ignoramus as then Chief Magistrate.
