I will fly to the mountains, Where dark woods are waving, Where the gush of the fountains Wild flower-wreaths is laving, Where streamlets are springing To meet the caresses Os the wind-spirit, winging To bathe their bright tresses. Through the depths of the forest I will wander, still lonely, And the spirit thou implorest Shall be my guide only. The star ot thy bower, In bright, beauty gleaming, Through Might’s silent hour Shall illumine my dreaming. And still will I bless thee, Star of my youth’s heaven ! Though another caress thee, And sing thee at even, When sunset is dying, Strains sweeter, not fonder* Than his, who now sighing, Still loveless must wander. An Bnigrmn. BY LORD NUGENT. The moon rose high in her majesty. Oyer glittering earth, and through deep blue sky, Reigning in bright tranquillity. One soft beam looked on a woodland glade— Two lovers strayed Down its close arcade ; An 1 ’twas thus that the youth be poke the maid. '•Dearest, I give my heart to thee, Truth, love and changeless constancy, All, all; —Yet more thou shall give to me. Oh, give me what never yet was thine, Nor is Yet ’tis thou who must make it mine. No woman hath that which from thee I crave, Or had; No. nor ever could wish to have. Nor, when given, albeit I pledge thee now> A true and an everlasting vow, Life, fortunes, all, with thee, whate’ef Is, or ever henceforth may be mine to share, Canst thou ever share with me That which now I am craving and claiming from tbee.” SOLUTION. They were words of the fondest and firmest truth— And ’twas thus the maiden bespoke the youth— “ Yes. I take thy true heart and its fealty, Thy love, and its changeless constancy ; And yet thou demandest more from me? Then take it. I give what Ido not crave, Nor e’er had, no, nor ever could wish to have. I give thee, unshared, and ungrudged, through life, A Wife.” [From the Savannah Georgian, 3d inst. ] Tfcc only objection to Mr. Towns. It must be very gratifying to the friends of Mr. Towns to learn, that the only vulnerable point which the Whigs can detect in his char acter, is tho fact that he can out speak Gen. Clinch —and that the columns of their papers ore filled, not with arguments against his prin ciples. nor with proofs of his incapacity to fill the gubernatorial chair, but with long disser tations upon the fruitfulness of our age and country in public speakers, and melancholy homilies upon the fact that all who mount the *tump are not equal to Demosthenes —in other words, to “Toombs, Crawford, and Berrien!” They urge that it is a highly improper thing for a candidate for the chief magistracy of the State to address the people, because the result of such a practice will be to throw the guber natorial office into the hands of lawyers alone; —-and forthwith follows an elaborate effort to excite popular prejudice against the legal pro fession. This argument comes but poorly from Whig mouths. While they are disposed at the present time to snarl at the lawyers, we would simply ask, who have been their own candi dates for many years past: —ever since they have owned a party name? If General Clinch had not been preferred by the Convention on account of the gunpowder smell which was supposed to hang around his name—would not Dawson or Jenkins have been the nominee? and are not both of these gentlemen distin guished lawyers? Is not His Excellency, him self, who has grown of late to be the Samson of Georgia Whiggery, a lawyers Is not the freat “Tantvlized” of Clark county, Judge Jougherty, ho has been taken more frequent ly into sight of the promised land of office, and bas more distinct ideas upon the old adage — “There is many a slip Between the cup and the lip!” thau any man in Georgia—is not he also a law yer? And why were all of these lawyers nomi nated by the Whigs: Was it not because their talents were known to the people? And how did their talents become known to the people? Was it not because they had been in the habit of addressing public assemblages? And we are at a loss to discover what material difference can exist between a speech pronounced at one time or another, before tir after a nomination, if the effect is the same upon the final election. Now, we are sorry to see that our friends, the Whigs, arc disposed, as the schoolboys would say, “to take all under hold of us.” They have nominated a candidate who has a military handle to his name, upon the ground that by means of this they can lift him so hand somely into office. Might we not argue, that thU is a highly improper thing, because the result will be that only Generals will be eligi ble to the office of Governor? But we are will ing that the two candates should go before the people upon their respective merits; —we do not object to Gen. Clinch’s gunpowder j smell, nor do we think that this of itself is any disqualification, but at the same time we claim for our candidate the right of wielding his sword —we mean his tongue—whenever he or his friends may think that it will do him ser vice. We are greatly amused to discover, that while the Whigs unhesitatingly place him be low eight of the fraternity in Columbus in the use of this bloodless weapon, and unquestion ably far below the great Orators of the State, | ♦'Toombs, Stevens, and Berrien .” they never theless display an exceeding amount of ner vousness when they learn that he has mounted the stump. Hard to Ploaso. Mr, McAllister, in 1845, travelled through a portion of the up-country of Georgia, so as to make acquaintance with many of his fellow ci tizens, and renew an acquaintance with old friends, yet neither speaking on the stump or elsewhere, and those who were disappoint! 2d in the hope of misrepresenting his remarks, abused his personal appearance, his equipage, &c ♦‘Swelled head”and“Broken Topped Barouche” were the weapons of his opponents, not to speak of the secret slanders uttered and some time whispered against him. Mr; Towns, on the contrary, has yielded to the solicitations of his political friends in Dooly, and made them a speech; For this Mr. Towns has had opened upon him the artillery of the whole Whig press. We wonder if Judge Dawson had been no minated by the Whigs, whether, the Whigs would have objected to his smooth and facile tongue being used in addresssing his fellow ci tizens of the Whig party. No, that would have been very different. It would have been all right for “Cos Dawson,” he can talk, “and is fond of hearing himself speak.” But for | Towns to presume to address his Dooly friends, i it is wrong. Judge Dawson, if a candidate, might have travelled hundreds of miles by railroad to this or that Whig gathering,and he would have been praised in the Whig columns for his grandi loquence and able illustrations of W hig prin ciples, now unneccessary to be “reiterated.” Every village in Cherokee and Central Georgia might have been crowded with listen ! ers to hear the Whig lawyer who would have decried a patriotic administration, and sought ! on the back of “Old Hough and Ready” to have ridden, booted and spurred, into the • Government House, at Miledgeville, where lots I of Madeira wine would be visible, ready to | pour out their contents, for rejoicing friends, ; and it would have been all right. The people —the Whigs then would have | contended, desired discussion, and were pleas- } ed at judging for themselves of the intellectu- ; i al calibre of those who were before their suf- , frages. But Dawson was thrust aside for a more I convenient season. And as the Whigs have | put Dawson on the shelf, it is wrong—very i wrong for lawyer Towns, a Democrat, to visit his plain fellow Democrats of Dooly and, face | to face, explain that like themselves, he is a : straight forward Democrat, and sustains the I administration in a just war, and in all those measures which conduce to the good of the country and the welfare of all. I From the Columbus Times, 211 k tdf.J G-corge W. Towns. We learn from the Albany Patriot, that this gentleman being at Dooly court last week, ad dressed a large auditory of the people assem bled under the shade trees near Mr. R. B. Da vis’s house, there being no room large enough to hold the audience. Tie paid his competitor, General Clinch, (says the Patriot) “many high compliments, and then proceeded to explain the leading principles of the Democratic faith, i He ably and successfully defended the Ad : ministration of Mr. Polk from all blame in ; commencing and carrying on the Mexican, war. He showed that the war had been forced upon ! the country by the Mexicans; that it had been ! recognised and adopted by Congress with but j fourteen dissenting voices; that Congress had j voted the men and money for prosecuting the ; war, and made it the imperative duty of the President to carry it forward. This he had done with unexampled vigor and success. He contrasted the situation of the country under I the high protective tariff of 1842, and under the present democratic tariff of 1846, and asked 1 the people to choose between them. The Col. then made some happy remarks ! upon the resolution passed at the Whig Con vention in Millcdgeville, which declared in j substance, that “Whig principles were so well i known as to need no repetition of them in that place,” and asked if any one present knew I what Whig principles were at this time? No one answering, he went on to explain what he believed whig principles once Were, but ac ; knowledged that he did not kriow what they * were at present. He then warned the people ! of the South of the danger which threatened their institutions from the combination of poli tics and fanaticism, and urged upon them the necessity of a strict adherence to the letter and spirit of the Constitution. Col. Towns was frequently cheered by tbc audience,and concluded amidst repeated shouts of approbation from the multitude. If we do not greatly mistake the signs of the times, Dooly will give him next October the largest majority that any candidate for Governor eVcr received in that countv.” We suppose all this will be very distasteful to the whig papers, as they have taken up a violent dislike to speaking candidates of late— that is, ever since they determined to trust their fortunes for tho fall elections to the “grace of gun powder,” and nominated Gen. Clinch, who does not speak. We suppose, too, that they hold a speaking talent, as entirely superfluous, at present, inasmuch as their con vention declared that Whig principles were so well understood that they required no itera tion. An expression by the way, which we always interpreted to mean, that Whig princi ples were so tangled up with Nortlircn notions, and so floored by experience under a Demo cratic administration, that it was worse than useless to try to straighten them out, or “resur rect” them. Hence a dumb candidate was the very thing for the occasion—one who is in no danger of committal or entanglement, even without a committee to keep him. It is a cun ning game, and the Whigs deserve credit for their sagacity. Pleased with tha Nomination of General Clinch. A writer in the Journal &; Messenger, who signs his name Etowah, says :—'“He has just returned from a trip through the counties of Northwestern Georgia, and no where has he found the people more pleased with the nomi nation of Gen. Clinch than in those counties.” We have no doubt of that, these northwest ern counties are strongly democratic, and the democrats are every where pleased with the nomination of Gen. Clinch. They think it will be easy to beat him, and they are there fore pleased with his nomination. It is just so down in the Wire Grass. We are pleased that old Withlacoochee is nominated. We believe we can beat him and not half try. — The whig* are the only persons who appear to be chagrined at his nomination. They hang down their heads and appear chop-fallen. We think Etowah will find that in the whig dis tricts of the State the people are not half so well pleased with the nomination of General Clinch as in the democratic. We do n»»t know a single democrat but what is pleased with it. Had Dawson or Jenkins been nomi nated Mr. Etowah would not have found the people in the democratic parts of the State so WELL pleased. —Albany Patriot. [From the Vermont Patriot .] Censurcrs of Taylor. Never seemed retribution to follow closer the commission of a political blunder, than in the case of the traducers of General Taylor. That vote of censure adheres to the sinners like the poisoned shirt of Ness us. No expurga tion will clear them from their wilful attempt to outrage alike the national gratitude and manifest truth; repentance cannot save them from the swift punishment that awaits them.— N. Y. Tribune, July sth. Who the revilers of General Taylor and his brave associates arc, may be seen from the fol lowing quotations from Senator Corwin’s speech, as reported by tho Tribune. After de manding what the triumphs are for which the American public utter such thanksgivings, the Senator says:— “Far gaining three victories in three battles j with the Republic of Mexico, who, in the year 1836, ■was conquered and bereft of a territory as large as the ichole empire of France, by seven hundred men ! under the command of the honorable Senator from I Texas, coming from about ten thousand peo | pic, gathered from all quarters of the Union, i who had a few months before set themselves i down in the Republic of Texas I I expect this will be a very glorious chapter in your history — won’t it? [A laugh.] “Why, sir, must not this melancholy affair excite the RIDICULE, nay, it must excite the CONTEMPT of every man acquainted with the history of the wars of thd world.” Kir. Clay and the War. “Mr. Clay, in reply to a letter from some gentlemen in Maine, who had sent him a pres ent of some scythes, and referred in their letter to the Mexican war, says: ‘Yes ! gentlemen. I I j certainly concur with you in deprecating the ; I Mexican war, the causes which brought it a- | i bout, and the manner of its commencement, j I I sincerely wish that every bayonet arid sword | employed in its prosecution, by both bellige rents, * were converted into scythes, plough shares and axes, and dedicated to their rcspec- j tive uses in the innocent and peaceful arts of ! ; life ’ Tribune. Mr. Clay at New Orleans, said he “felt in clined to ask for some little nook or corner in the army in which I might serve in avenging the wrongs of my country —I have thought I might yet be able to capture or slay a Mexi- | can.” “Innocent and peaceful arts of life!

Taylor. He is the fortunate ! soldier of their nurture. They gave him the brilliant opportunities which he has so bril liantly improved. They have followed his | i banner with straining eyes and beating breasts | at every step of his victorious progress. When gloom for a season hung around his path, it was the Democrats, who refused to give way to dark presages of defeat and boldly maintain ed their con tidence that the gallant leader with his gallant men would yet pluck victory from seeming disaster, and hew his way through | surrounding foes. When triumph followed his eagles from held to field, it was the Demo crats who most fervently rejoiced, as Americans, j —in the glory of the success of a just cause, | and as party men, —that the soldier of their 1 appointment had vindicated the judgment of I the President and justified the expectations of the country# Everything, indeed, conspired to cause the hearts of American Democrats to | i leap towards Gen. Taylor.” — Times, 1 3thult. Yet, says the Times, two whig papers, the Augusta and the Macon (Ala.) Repuh- I Ucan bounced it as something monstrously 1 heretical and incredible: It is one of the Whig articles of Creed to be | maintained at all hazards, that the Whigs, and the Whigs alone, arc the admirers and friends I of Gen. Taylor. No miserable Loeofoco' is to be allowed to indulge in the Itixury of an eri- | thUsiasm fir this victorious American General, i Nobody but the party that Tom Corwin be- j longs to, the party whose presses have de- j nounced him as a “skillful throat-cutter, and | skull-breaker” and the leader of a “damnable ! President’s war,” is to dare to have or express ! any emotions of regard, gratitude or admira tion for Gen. Taylor. And whys Because, their lordships the Whigs, oilr privileged par- | ty in America, have chosen to appropriate Gen. Taylor, his glories and his popularity to their uses, and to prostitute his noble charac ter to the ignoble purpose of imposing unpop ; ular and pernicious measures of policy upon | the American people# ■ ’The Times might have added that this is the same party that the whigs of Massachu- ; setts belong to, who voted in their legislature I against a resolution of thanks,to General Tay- I lor for his gallant and patriotic services in Mexico. It is the same party whose members ; | in the New Hampshire and Connecticut legis- : latures did the same thing. It is the same I f party whose presses and prominent men, one of whom is a conspicuous candidate for the Presidency, have reviled this war in which General Taylor has won his imperishable lau rels, as unholy, unjust, unprovoked, and those engaged in it, little better than a band of rob bers. It is the same party from whose ranks the cry has already gone forth, “stop the sup | plies —refuse all aid to the administration for the prosecution of this abominable war—com pel the President to call back our armies and | abandon the contest.” It is the same party which contends that Mexico is the injured party, and opposes the exaction of indemnity : from her for this war. It is the same party ! with whom the Senators from Georgia, to be ; elected by a whig legislature, if the whigs car ry the election in October next, will vote in j the next Congress. The Times goes on and gives the whigs a castigation, as well laid on as it is deserved, in the following style: But will the “Chronicle & Sentinel” and the “Republican” be so good as to tell us, what the Whig party has ever done, to enhance the fame of Geu. Taylor, or to entitle itself to the arro gated claims of being his especial friends? Did I they move a finger to help him until after the I President had placed him in a position to win I the brightest laurels,that ever, with two or three 1 exceptions,graced the brow of an American sol dier? When overwhelmed with superior num j hers, before the sun of the Bth and 9th of May went down over his victorious fields, did they cheer him with confidence in his unequalled re sources to beat back the fearful odds and extri- j cate himself from unusual difficulties? No: : The hoar se murmurs that rose from their press es during those gloomy days, showed that they were gloating over the prospects of defeat, and watching the hour that should proclaim it, as“ a signal for turning it to the account of wrath ‘ and vengeance against the administration —of producing a Democratic defeat, which the whole history of this war proves to be dearer to their hearts, than a Mexican defeat. Fol low the Whig party (we speak of it now as a party, entirely disconnected from those gallant Whigs who have separated themselves from the sympathies of that party, and by their words and writings, as well as by their deeds in the field have exhibited a patriotism supe rior to its traitorismj and the successful Gen eral through the war—and point if you can, to one instance in which he has received their sympathy or support, except in the hour of glory or victory, when his great fame and magnificent successes were found useful to prop up the waning fortunes of exploded prin ciples and an unpopular cause. They were ; “sunshine friends” always —standing ever rea- ; dy to.damn the administration, and if neces- j sary, himself, wlicii he should fail, and to ap propriate all the honor and profit, if he should j succeed. What moral comfort and support has Gen. Tayldr ever received from the Whig party, to strengthen his hands and cheer his | spirits, during the ardiiotis years of his ser vice in the field? Have they told him, your cause is just—our hearts are with you—if you fail we will console you with oitr confidence that you have done all that man could do; if you triumph, we will rejoice in your victories? Nothing of the kind. On the contrary, it has been thundered in his ears, by day and by night, that his cause was an unholy one, that he was a God-defying throat-cutter; that the war was waged without cause, was atrocious ' 1 and unjust in its origin, cruel and abominable ; in its prosecution. I It is the Democrats, as a party, and many : I patriotic individual Whigs, segregated from i ; their party, who have cheered Gen. Taylor on j 1 to victory, sustained him in his trials, and tri i umphed with him in his brilliant successes. It was the Democrats in Congress, and the 1 Democratic press, out of Congress, who repro bated the delay, interposed to the ten Regi ment bill, by a discussion of the three million ; appropriation, and the Wilmot proviso—a de lay which has retarded the movements of both j Scott and Taylor, nearly four months; and i which, (their own act,) is now charged back ! upon the administration. Gen. Taylor has himself admitted that the administration had, | he believed, done all in its power, with the ' limited means in its hands, and thwarted and I restricted, as we know, by a factious party in | and out of Congress, to furnish him with sup plies and re-inforcements. And if the secret emotions of the old hero’s heart could be read, who doubts, but that an echo of scorn and contempt would be found to all that the Whig party has done, to advance his fame and what he holds dearer, the glory and honor of his countrVi That party has stood by, either giv- : ing a cold shoulder to the cause, but more fre i quently breaking out in open sympathy for I the enemies side, and when, success has crown ed the administration and its General with glory, they coolly step forward to grasp the I plumes from the cap of those who won them, and to claim them as their legitimate spoils. Blit neither Gen. Taylor nor the country, will submit to such impudent misappropria- i lion of honor and fable. Like a true-hearted man, as he is, he has told the Whigs that he j will yield His name aild fame to no such { “schemes;” thereby giving them to under stand that he despises their tardy and selfish friendship, and scorns to be the tool of any party, that is false to His country; Volunteers Ho-Enlisting 1 * In spite of the terrible stories of the sitffcr ; ings of the volunteers, many Os those* who have returned to their homos are re-enlisting. I Lieut. Col. Irvin, of the 2d Ohio Regiment, calls upon the officers and men to volunteer , again for the war, and the Ohio Statesman | says: “As far as we can learn, there will be j hut little difficulty in re-organizing the 2d Ohio Regiment, under Col. Irvin. The re j turned volunteers, very generally, are highly pleased with their camping in Mexico,- and j feel a pride in seeing the war out.” A Bank Officer Defaulted. The Richmond En juircr learns that one of ; the officers of the Branch Bank of Virginia, at Lynchburg, has absconded, carrying off some 13,000 dollars of the funds of the bank. He i is said to be a man of high standing in the I community, and has hitherto borne an irre proachable character. i A letter from Columbia, to the editors of the Charleston Courier dated 2d instant, says: “Rain has fallen almost incessantly since Satur i day, and the Congaree has risen, from last | night, twelve feet, and is now rising ten inches I per hour; and many fears are entertained that much damage will occur to the crops below j this.” [communicated.] Ninth Senatorial District.

[Transmitted for the American.] Philadelphia, August 2, 11 P. M. The wires between Boston and Worcester have been repaired, and the Telegraph is again j | in operation to the former city, I am therefore enabled to forward you the following addition | al news by the Hibernia. | At Liverpool at the date of the Hibernia’s ' sailing, the Times says, the weather was fine ! for the growing crops, and indeed for the pre vious ten days it had been uninterruptedly good; arid each day stfeiigthens the expect a - tious entertained of an abundant harvest of ; grain throughout the British Islands arid all I Europe* The prospects of still receiving large supplies from the United States and byway of i the Mediterranean, added to the fine weather j which prevails ill all quarters, flic markets , have become depressed, and they now present j every aspect of a further downward movement* I The potatoe crop is represented to be free from j danger arid contributed not a little to affect | prices. During the' past week, however, the markets have been mtich firmer. The’ prices ; of the 12th became current arid we're maintain ed throughout the week, and on the 19th, in Mark Lane, a further decline of one shilling in Flour took place. The trade in Indian Corn was, however, quite paralized and Flour, in bbls., was quite neglected. The heavy decline in Cotton which took place at the begining of the month has been j checked, and the market has been steady since the 10th. The sales have been pretty large with a considerable demand. THE NEWS AND THE MARKETS. FROM NEW YORK. By Magnetic Telegraph. [Transmitted for the American.] New York, August 2, 6 P. M. The Hibernia’s news was received here at 10 o’deck this morning, and has caused quiet i an excitement in the market for Breakstufis.— Flour was firm, before the receipt of the news, | at $6 a 6.12 i for Genesee, but it has since de clined considerably, and sales of 5000 bbls. have taken place at $5 25 a $5 50. In Wheat, and other descriptions of Bread sutffs little or nothing has been done to indi | cates prices under the news, and the market i will not become settled until after the private letters have come to hand. Secretary Walker, we sec it stated, intends despatching, by the Boston steamer, Charles Welden, Esq., as an agent to collect facts in relation to the operation of the foreign warc | houses. [From the N. O.

Scott or with Mr. Trist at St. Martin de Tesmelucan, but I am able to inform you that by late letters from the capital, nothing of this kind had taken place; on the contrary, it is believed that the government will continue the I war with vigor. This is confirmed by the pre parations which are making to resist the at tacks of Gen. Scott upon the capital. “Nothing more is heard of the assembling of Congress, which will doubtless not occur, be cause it would be against the interests of Santa Anna. Persons who know the movements of the President, say that he works with assidui ty to prevent any re-assembling of Congress; and in the event that Scott does not attack the capital, Santa Anna, by means of one of those manifestos in which he is so well skilled, will make it appear that in view of the impossibili ty of assembling the national Congress against all the efforis made for this object, and consid ering that the safety or ruin of the nation de pends upon it, he will require a convocation of notables, who are in his interest. This body | wall occupy itself with the last mission of the * cabinet of Washington, and will respond to | the wishes of Santa Anna. But before this hap | pens, it appears to me probable that Gen. Scott will have forced the Mexicans to peace at the point of the bayonet. “Letters received from Puebla announce to | us that Gexieral Scott was preparing to march I for the capital about the 15 th, leaving at Pue bla two points fortified with small garrisons. I To-day it is stated that the advance posts have i pushed on to Ayotla, distant not more than | eight leagues from the capital. If tins it true, and it seems sufficiently probable, adieu the convocation of Congress! the assembly of nota bles! and for the plans of the campaign and the cries of war: “In looking over the journals which accom pany my letter, you will see what preparations arc made by Colonel TV ilson.the coxmixandant at this place.' They believe here that Yera Cruz is menaced with an attack by 2000 or 3000 guerillas, but it is probable that these forces are more disposed to attack the train which departed a few days ago under the camnxand of General Pierce, with more than 3000 men. “Be assured that the Mexicans are incapable of accomplishing axxy enterprize like that of the siege of Yera Cruz.” Dr. Samuel Henry Dickson. —We regret to state that our talented townsman, Dr. Samuel Henry Dickson, is about to exchange his situ ation as Professor of the Ixistitues and Prac tice of Medicine in the Medical College of the State of Soxitli Carolina, for the professorial chair in the same department, in the Medical College of New York. On the scientific abili ty and literary attainments of Dr. Dickson it i is unnecessary for us to enlarge, or to recall to I the recollection of our readers the fact that I his name has been associated with many of the public enterprises which have been matured or I projected for some years within the bosom of Our city. The departure from among us of one who combined, in an eminent degree, in tellectual gifts -with social virtues, will long continue among our most poignant recollec tions.— Evening Nem, ith inst. Specie-. —The ship Birmingham, which ar rived from Liverpool this day, brought $121,- 1 000 in specie, in addition to a very valuable assorted cargo of merchandize* It is a remark - , able fact, as evidence of iilcrease in the com merce? of Charleston, which has not ricctirred for some years, that an assorted cargo of mer chandize shoxild have arrived at this port so early as the 2nd of August: The ship James ■ Calder is on her way with a similar cargo.—76; More Rain. —On Sunday we bad two Heavy showers. In the afternoon it did not rain—it | poured. At night it cleared off beautifully, | the moon thx-owing her silver rays, alter ten 1 o’clock, over the surface of saturated streets and dripping roofs. But yesterday morning j clouds upon clouds again poured their liquid ’ contents upon our city, checked o'xily b‘y tlid high puffs of wind, which dispersed them fax ! a brief period.— Savannah Georgian , 2d inst. Army Worm. —Our friend, Mr. Edmund Whaley, showed us yesterday a specimen of a reptile which has made its appe;iranee in the cotton, axxd is comxxxitting alarming ravages. It was sent by one of his correspondents from Madison county, and he writes that it is there in some parts sweeping every green thing, ! bolls, leaves and buds froxn the fields. I The worm showed us was not the army worm of last season, and is not a catterpillar —or at least does not hang by a web w r hen shaken off ! the leaf, as catterpxllars do. It seems a genuine [ cut-worm, of some of the grasshopper tribe, thoxxgh to first view, it very much resembles ; the army worm. Whether army worxxx or not however, it eats cotton, as we had occular de monstration, and if it comes in axxy numbers i will perhaps do as much damage by one xxanxe {as another. The destruction will be immemo if thus early, and in the state the recent rains ; have left the cotton plant, its great enemy now | appears upon it. — A'icJisburg , (1/b) Sentinel, 271 h j ult. ■ Bfvtal and Rash. —An insignificant fellow by j the name of Eton, or Eaton, exhibited a pla i card in front of his store, at Worcester. Mass., ; as the funeral of the gallant Lincoln neared his place, upOri which were the words, “No homage to murderers.” The chief marshal of the day. Hon. Isaac Davis# happexied to own the building, and he promptly caused this ignoramtis to put the placard out of sight. The fact that this fellow belongs to the Peace Society should not militate against the high aims of that body. It is but an additional in stance of the bigotry and blind indiscretion by which some persons, attaching themselves to a good cause, wholly pervert the salutary ef forts of others they pretend to act with. Singular Con session Troy Whig says: —“Possibly one reason why Gen* Taylor de clixies to run as a partx' candidate, is that he docs not wish to be harrassed by such a flock of office-seeking cormorants, as that which hovered roxxnd General Harrison from the time of his election to the hour of his death.” Old Rough and Ready, who never retreated before a foe. recoiling at the bare idea of those unmerciful Racheros, the whig office seeking cormorants! We put some faith in Ibis; and we cannot but think that in repudiating the whig party, Gen. T. has made a retreat as masterly as any of his victories. —Albany Atlas. i If your sister, while tenderly engaged in a tcxxder conversation with her tender sweetheart, tenderly asks you to bring a class of water fronx an adjoining room, you need not return, i You will not be missed, that’s certain—we’ve | seen it tried.
