A song on the projjosition to surrender to Mexican barbarity and tyranny th» hind between the Nueces and the Rio Grande — the battle-fields of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. It may not be ! Forbid it, God ! Forbid it, ail that patriots prize : That land has tasted freemen’s blood ; Their dust within its besom lies. Twere madness to resign the so;! On which our conquering feet hare trod 3 Battling our way with glorious toil 5 It may not be—forbid it, God ! Can we relinquish lands where now The striped and starry banners wave I No, never ! We engrave our vow On every brother’s grave. They could not sleep, (the slaughtered brave Who in their beds of glory rest.) And feel the footstep of the slave Pollute the soil above their breast. Resign the field where Ringgold fell! The spot where gallant Stevens lies ! Where Cochran felt his bosom swell Triumphant in death’s agonies ? Where brave and virtuous hearts pour’d out The life so dear to hope and Jove, Invoking with their dying shout Our country —and our God above ? No ! By our country and our God, We will not yield that dear-bought soil! We still have hearts with generous blood, And souls to dare the conqueror’s toil. On ! To the rescue ! Hearts of steel— On ! To the rescue ! Son.s of fire— Let kindred blood inflame our zeal To conquer—triumph—or expire. Huzza! Press on where Taylor stands Invincible in conquering might; W e must prevail where he commands. And God sustains our sacred right. Ask Taylor to retrace his way, And leave his conquest to the foe ! And this broad land, from sea to sea, Shall echo his emphatic No! ! No, never! This is holy ground, Bought and baptised with patriot blood; See! with her fetters half unbound. She lifts her hands to Freedom’s God ! By Freedom’s God, she shall be f ee ! Huzza! brave hearts press boldly 011; Strike home, nor pause till victory Shall put her olive garland on — ’Till o’er that land to utmost parts Our Eagle’s sheltering wings are spread; And Taylor throned on freemen’s hearts Enjoys his laurels in their shade. [From the N. O. Mercury .] Roony Calag-hnn in Mexico. We received the following from Jimmy Walsh: Hales or Montezuma, Oct. 6, 1847. From Roony Callaghan to Jimmy Walsh : Jimmy, ma honchal, I promised to write to you whin an opportunity offered, and I take hould of one now in the shape of a Mi.xican who is a goin’ to drive a team to Very Cross, to-morrow. Byrne sowl, Jimmy, but ’tisthis is the purty place intircly, an’ if the Giniral divides the land betune us as the boj-s says he will. ;>o as to keep possession of the counthrv, th'i divil a back any of us, will ever go, but stay here and take possession of some of their purty wimin or Hug Nora's as they call thim here. But wait a minit an’ ile tell'you about my one, and how I made up wud her;—Last Monday momin’ was a week I wint on top of the steeple of the big church on the Plaza to see the city altogether in a heap, and a lovely sight it was. The square tops of the houses where the bcautifulcst flowers you ever saw growing, looked like the beds of a garden riz iu the air and laid as regular and as even as a regimint of soldiers on a paxade day ; and the houses that props thim up likechiny flower pots, they arc painted so garish and lightsome like. An’ thin, when I looked out beyond the city, throth I thought I was in fairy-land, for there was beautiful lakes and running streams shinin’ through the brown and green leaves on the trees like pieces of tin cut in diftirint shapes, an’ thin the purticst blue sky you iver saw came so near, an’ kind a rested upon the mountains that are around the city and looks like a heap of blue clouds rolled up together. The Sun was risin’ an’ its light was thrown full upon the snowy tops of the volcano moun tains right foruinst it an’ made thim look like great giants jist got up, with their white night caps on. Iliglit before me, on the other side of the Square, was the Musayum and the na ffest market-house you iver saw, jist like a cage chock full of all kinds of min, wimin, birds, bastes and flowers. Thin, nearly to my right, is the place where all kinds of goods is sould, called the Parian, an’ round it all the carriage rain are staudin’; thin to my left is the great palace with our fine flag.— God bless it, flyin' on the top, an’ our of ficers and soldiers sauntering about below, an’ ftorae on horseback gallopin’ right straight from the palace through the Arcades where differ int kinds of things is sold, an’ crowds are al ways a staudiu’ an’ talking,’ jist as they do on the corners of the street in New Orleans.— Whin I was cornin’ down from the top of the Church, they wur all cornin’ from mass, an’ jist as a bcautyful Hugnora wes leavin’ the* door along with an old praste, I saw a huge Pokin’ thief followin’ thim, snap her purse, an’ whin he put it under his blanket thryed to rin off in the crowd; but, faith, he had Loony Callaghan at his hales, an’ in a minit he av:is fitched back by the scruff o’ the neck, and whin I made him shell out the purse I give him sich a doudonnclly over the smeller that I sint him dare a cross the square. The lady looked at —och! my heart an’ sowl, what a look, it Avint right through mo an’ sittlcd in ray bosom, where it has been a burning’ iver since- Troth, I was in love all out, an’ watched to see where she wint. Nixt momin’ I give twenty-five tints to one of the ould fellows who set on the streets for the some purposc,to write her a love lethur forme, an’ axin her to meet me in the evening near the fouutin in the Alxneda, a bit of ground about tin acres, all planted wid bcautyful trees all walled in. I wint at the time appointed, an’ Lord, how ray heart bate v h : n I saw her, for sure enough she d-d come; , but divil a word she could understand, an’ all my blarney was thrown away; but I thought to make signs to her, so as to be near enough I got a carnage at the western gate of the Alxneda and drove right out the Palco Nuevo, a x’, holy nelly, how charmixr’ ivery thing look ed—the sun again’ dawn behind the volcanoes, ami the moon arisin’ in-the sky— not the pale , j looking moon you have in New Orianes, but 1 one all ixx a blaze of bright ness, air’ the stars a burxxin’ all about it like the eyes of the Hug noras. On the right was Chapullepec, where —but you know all about it—an’ thin there was the Ingins a singin’, all dressed with flow ers, in their little boats on tire canals, as thev wur agoiu’ from the market to their homes in the woods. I was a sighin’ all the time, an’ Aliva Castros (that’s her name) begun to sigli too, an’ I thought I would pop the question at once. So as I could xxot spake to her, I held out xxxy hand. She pointed to xxxy sword an’ made signs that it killed her people. Oh Lord, how I wanted to tell her that we wur so much bethur than the fellows we killed, an’ jist as I I was agoin’ to make sigxis, she relinted an’ i put her hand in mine. A Veil, Jimmy, we are agoin’ to be married whin the giniral divides ; the land; an’ may bo I wud bring Mrs. Calla- I ghan some fine day to see yees in New Orianes, j whin the war is over an’ this fine city belongs to the States. Yours, true as a brick, LOONY CALLAGHAN. I [From the Savannah Georgian .] A Georgia Hearth- Who that has lived ixx Georgia does xxot feel j his heart beat faster at the mention of a Gear- ] gia Hearth I What visions does it not conj urc xxp before him of peace, hope and happiness, of merry jest and story;—of a world of inno cent enjoyment in the long evenings of winter? | Let him who may perfer his own especial va- | rioty of stove, from the mathematical irxvcn- ; tioir of Professor Olmstead, down to the hum ble piece of mechanism, which keeps as close as it possibly can to the floor, and sends up its pipe like a comet’s tail, through the wall, or the window-sash; we deprecate “idomnegenus,” if for nothing else in the world, for the sixxx- i pie fact that they “hide their light xxnder,” i not a “bushel,” it is true, but a repulsive coat ! of iron. The Scriptures arc full of practical wisdom, and not a figure do they use which docs not appeal to strong common-sense with the power of truth. Neither man nor fire place should hide it's light I Who docs not like to see the flashing flames, or the glimcr ixxg embers ? Who has xxot kindled into en thusiasm under the influence of the one, or been soothed into a calm, quiet melancholy by the other r Who has not felt the inspira tion of poetry, and read the teaching of phi losophy, in the various hues axxd changes of the tire-light ? What a selfish, purely animal mechanism, then, is that,which, while it warms ; the body, is indisposed to give warmth to the mind r What an unnatural principle lies in | its construction ! How utterly repugnaxxt to the principle of the Sux, which at once gives light and warmth, life and beauty to all crea tion! We abhor a stove, nor have we much more love for a grate. A grate at best is a narrow,con- ' tracted,selfish thing. It is true, you sec the fire, but there isn o enthusiasm iu it. A grate could xxever supply a figxxre in poetry, and had the world been wanned by grates alone, Long fellow could neverhave coined the following ex quisite verse: ‘‘Friends, my soul with joy remembers, How like quivering Games they start. When I fan the living embers On the hearth-stone of my heart!” Yes ! it is the hearth-stone niter all, to which the heart clings, and no one would think of introducing into his heart a stove with a hun dred feet of pipe, or a grate which requires a blotccr to kindle it up ? It is the hearth-stone, we love, and surely a genuirie, Georgia Heart stone is large enough, and broad enough, and liberal exxough to claim a world of affection. If there’s a generous thing on earth It is an ample Georgia hearth, At close ol Winter days;— It sets the heart all in a glow. And feeling has a generous flow Beside the generous blazei What Georgia boy can e’er forget The jovial band that oft hath met Around the noble fire— While louder yet the laughter grew. And wit, in brighter sparkles, flew, As blazed the pine-knot higher? ’Twas fun to spend the live long day. With gun and fish-hook,Tar away in search of various game; But sweeter fur, when night had come, To hasten from the forest home. And gather round the flame 1 What Georgia girl, with glowing cheek, And sparkling eyes, whose glances speak Os peace without alloy, Shall ever find a spot on earth By half so full of harmless mirth, Os love, and hope, and joy 1 And cunning Cupid well may know It is the place to bend his bow, And wing his quivering dart; Sure as he sends the missile forth, Beside a broad, old Georgia hearth It strikes some gentle heart! Then let the winds blow loud and chill ! The souls within grow warmer still, The flame still brighter curls! Os all the blessed spots on earth, The dearest is a Georgia hearth To Georgia boys and girls! And scorn it not, thou city' “blade! ” ’Tis true for thee it was not made; Go! seek the narrow grate! Perhaps, in selfish pride thou’lt find It more congenial to thy mind To set and freeze in state. Vet scorn it not! for Georgia hence Has drawn her proudest eloquence, Her chiefest, purest fame! Beside, a broad old Georgia hearth A Crawford’s spirit had its birth, And kindled into flame! Then cast the pine knot on the blaze! It has a magic for the gaze. Hove the glorious fire! Would 1 could better sing thy warmth. Thou generous, broad-backed Geoi’gia hearth, Upon a prouder lyre. [From the N. O. Picayune, 20th ult.] From Gen- Wool’s Headquarters- Headquarters, Buena Vista, Oct. 2,1817. Flooded with such glorious newe as you are from the other quarter, you can scarcely wish for much froixi this— at least I hope so,' for if ; you ever expect to got anything more of any ■ consequence or importance, I am fearful you will be most cgx-cgiously disappointed. Stagna tion is the order of the day, and how to kill time is the sole study of all upon this column; and permit mo to assure you, that he is a pretty tough old gentleman to put down, a regular slashing sort of a customer, who cuts a broad swath, and gets over the ground slowly but surely,and, as he swings his keen-edged scythe, gives many admonitions to “look out for shins.” Since my last we have received news from Mexico of the splendid victories of Gen. Scott’s army, which must make a great noise at home and a powerful sensation abroad among the crowned nohe of Europe. We have a rumor that Herrera lias been proclaimed President, which it is argued will be one point gained to ward peace. I cannot believe that the fate of their capital city will induce the vain, gascona ding nation of Mexico to xxiake peafce, but with such a people speculations are absurd. Hea ven only knows what they wi 1 do. A sad accident occurcd day before yesterday i m Saltillo, which resulted in the death of Mr. lisdale, a clex-k of the Mississippi sutler’s. He j ) vas tooling with a man named Cook, a private in the Messissippi Regiment, in the store of Mr. Carr, and Cook snatched xxp a pistol, and, supposing it was not loaded, snapped it at Tis dale aud inflicted a mortal wound upon him, from which be died soon after. The deceased , belonging to the fraternity of Free and Accept- I 1 ed Masons, and was buried yesterday with masonic honor. A Mexican trader came in camp day before yesterday and complained to Gen Wool that while at La Ventura, a small hacienda or vil . lage on the route from here to San Luis, about two days journey from here, he was robbed of his cargas and mules to the value of live hundred dollars or thereabouts. In conse j quence of the promise made to protect the j Mexicans who remain neutral, and ; the assurances that robbers and those assisting j them shall be punished, Gen. Wool has order ed Capt. Taylor’s company of Texan Hangers to repair to the rancho or hacienda, retake the goods if they arc there, or if they are not to j seize a sufficient number of the cattle and | horses belonging to the place to make up for the loss of the Mexican, and if those who had a ; hand in the robbery can be pointed out, to ! seize them and bring them in as prisoners. The | expedition started this morning, and before j they get back will probably go to the hacienda ! Potosk Since the guerrilleros confine their ex- i ertions exclusively to robbing Mexicans, I do j not know that wo have any great reason to complain. Mr. (’oilin':, better know in Missouri as j Squire Collins, who acted as interpreter to Doniphan’s command and participated in the battles of Sacramento and Bra/.ito, and who has since been employed as interpreter in the Quartermaster's Department, left here last week with a party of a dozen for Santa Fc, via Monclova an 1 the Preside through the Indian country. The squir eis an old Santa Fe trader and has been in many a little “skrimmage” in that country. It is expected that this party j may meet both guerrilla parties and Indians | on the route, but though few in numbers j they arc prepared to make a stout resistance, j The squire has promised to furnish me with j an account of the trip and its incidents, upon his arrival at Santa Fc, if he should get there safe, and it cannot fail to be of interest. Another party left yesterday morning for San. Antonio, Texas, via Monclova, about fifteen strong. Among them was Mr. Thomas 11. O’S. Ad dicks, Gen. Wool’s interpreter, a most cxccl lelieut, intelligent and talented fellow, lie has been, in this country or Texas many years, and been an actor in many stirring scenes with the Mexicans and lud ans, and among the latter, the Lipans, has spent a considerable time, and, I believe, was made a chief by them. At the j battle of Buena Vista ha rendered himself con ; spicuous by his coolness and gallantry, and was i complimented therefor, lie holds the office | of county clerk in San Antonio. This party, i it is reported, are to be attacked by guerrillas between here and Monclova, by a band who are in waiting for them. I hardly credit the report, but if it is the case, they will receive an j ample quid jirn quo , and perhaps more than their money’s worth. The trip from here to Mon clova is generally made in about three days and from thence to San Antonio in seventeen or eighteen days. The Mexicans who were charg ed with the murder of Haynes and Patterson have not yet been convicted. The board which was in session when I wrote you last had merely examining powers. A regular com mission, ordered by Gen. Taylor, commenced its session this morning for the trial of the ac cused. The accused stand a poor chance for their nocks, for the evidence is very strong against them. I hear nothing new or spicy from Monterey and imagine they ar? quite as dull as wc are here. It is very difficult to tell ( what wc shall come to, but I am airaid we | shall be compelled to resort to good old Eng lish rural games, such as running in sacks, chasing pigs with well greased tails, climbing a greased pole,and “various games of that sort,” to while away the time.

Dear Sir: —I do not know that I can furn ish you by the mail that takes this, with a let ter for publication. Nothing of great moment has transpired since I wrote this morning. The Inauguration went off in fine style.— The crowd was immense. The ladies formed two or three rows on each side of the aisle loading from the bar up to the clerk’s desk, and there was a dense mass behind and around them. Towns spoke very well and his Inau gural was well received. He was applauded two or three times while speaking, and at the close he had a pretty noisy demonstration of approval. The two houses adjourned without doing much, except that the Senate passed a resolution to go into the election of judges, and solicitors. The House did not concur, but will to-morrow. The democrats held a caucus to night. It was a caucus only of the members of the Legislature. They resolved to ballott for candidates, and that the man who received the highest vote should be run by the party and adhered to throughout. Not being present, I cannot give you the names of those nominated. The whigs held a caucus also, but I do not know what they have done. I think they will elect all their candidates. Nisbct will have no opposition for the Supreme Court bench. NOVEMBER 4tk, 1847. The democratic caucus last night nominated candidates for Judges, Attorney General and Solicitors, and also a candidate for Supreme ; Court. Col. Henry G. Lamar was, to his com- j plete surprise, nominated by acclamation the candidate of the Supreme Court. He was not | an aspirant for that, or any other office. It was a voluntary tribute of respect and attachment paid by his party to an old favorite and a very wort hy and intelligent gentleman. E, Starnes, Esq., was nominated for thp office of Judge of the Middle Circuit, John Hhinizy Jr., Esq., ! was nominated for Attorney General. The whigs at their caucus nominated can didates for Judges. Judge Nesbit was nomi- | nated without opposition, for the Supreme I Court; Judge Holt was nominated for the Mid- 1 die Circuit. The other nominations were Judges ; Warren and Hill tor their respective circuits.— 1 he whigs concluded not to nominate for So licitors, but left each candidate to run on his : own hook. Election Returns- We give in another column, as a matter of reference, the official vote for Governor at the recent election. We are indebted to the Mil- | ledgeville Federal Union for a slip containing it. New York Election- We give in another column all the returns | wc have from the recent election held in New York, and as wc expected, the noble-hearted j Democracy of that State, who stuck to their i principles and the Constitution, have been de j seated by the so-called Wilmot Proviso Dem ocrats, assisted by the Whigs and Abolition- I ists. W e are sorry for their defeat; but glory | ! to them for their bold and decided stand in j | support of Democratic Doctrines. They fell i | like men,battling for principle; and so far as the South and her institutions arc concerned, have ! given the best evidence of their friendship,— I . they arc the men who prefer defeat rather than to cringe to any party or faction wbo> i to gain a brief power, would sacrifice the Con stitution of their country and endeavor to en croach on the rights of their -Southern Breth ren. We hope no whig editor in the South wl 1 rejoice at their fall. The question that di- | vided the parties, was the Wilmot Proviso.— The defeated democrats fell by exposing it they could not nor would not support it in word or deed. The Theatre- The crowded state of our columns and the . multiplicity of our avocations must be an apo- ! logy for not noticing the performances of the | present corps, as it has deserved at our hands, i Wc have only room now, in as few words as ! possible to say, that the Manager this season has brought before the Augusta audience, a company whose general merits have never surpassel here, and are excelled by few in any other city. We were present on Thurs day evening when the performance was “Lon don Assurance.” Barring the imperfect study of one or two, which we were sorry to see, the performance was most commendable. Our old favorites, Mr. and Mrs. Forbes and Fuller, were, as they always arc, excellent. The Lady Gay of Miss Ellis was a most spirited per formance. Dazzle, by Mr. Crisp, although laboring under a severe cold, was such a per sonation as the talents which he is admitted to possess, and the reputation which has pre ceded him led us to anticipate. The easy impudence and cool impertinences of the character were admirably brought out, and sustained from the first act to the last. We ought not here to omit Mr. Ward whose Med dle was a decided hit. “We have very little hesitation in saying and we say it boldly too,” that he is “bound to be” a favorite. We have been gratified to see the Theatre, tmmgh not as crowded as it might be, always respectably attended. With the novelties promised, we think wc perceive a splendid season before ns. Mr. Forbes deserves all commendation, for his efforts to render the drama respectable and at tractive, and wc mistake the citizens of Au gusta if they do not appreciate and reward his exertions accordingly. By reference to the advertisement, it will he perceived that the capital Farce of “liaising the Wind,” will be repeated this evening, with Mr. Crisp as Jeremy Diddler, and Don Caesar de Bazann, one of the most popular pi-oduc tions of the day, with Miss Ellis as Maritana, and Mr. Crisp as the Don.

"\\ c have seen a private letter from a member ol C 01. Easton’s battalion; dated on the 24th of August. The whole of Col. Easton’s battalion had arrived. It is said that the evils under which the volunteers who preceded them had suffered, from indulgence in dissipation and gambling’, and the disregard of military order, would bo immediately remedied, as they “wore under right discipline." The writer says: “We have a rumor hero that tire Mexicans have murdered all the Americans in Chihuahua, but it has not been continue !; and a Mexican from El Passo says that they had not heard of it at that place.” [COM Ml' NICA TED.] Editors- You can always tell an editor, wherever you see him at the post-office, by his enormous bundle ot papers—in a crowd, by the deference paid to him—and generally, by a “ready-for a-squabble air, and an inquiring look, as if in search of something whereon to build a para graph. Perhaps no man in the community wields such an influence us the editor. Take the proprietor of some village paper, for in stance; see with what avidity the honest burghers read his remarks ! How they laugh at his wit! How apt to agree with him in opinion ! r lhe pen of an editor is like a good mirror, which so faithfully reflects somo*cha * ractcr in the community, as to make him known without giving his name ; or like a bad one, it so distorts and colors a transaction as to make it appear entirely new and different from the original. Like a stage actor who apjicars upon the boar ds, in all the pomp ami splendor of royalty in the first scene, andthenties his subject's shoes behind the curtain, editors often appear to great advantage in their columns, but are often compelled to stoop to the most menial office* in that very sanctum of which they talk so much. To-day, clothed in all the dignity of his pural title “ tee," he castigates his enemy “ with fierce phillippic, and with satire keen puffs some new invention, slashes up some lo ver of the muses, or sends out his dogmas into the world with as much assurance as did the philosophers of yore impart thoir knowledge to their disciples; to-morrow, up to his knees in paste and papers—he clips, and folds, and writes, till his arms ache, in order to be in time for the mail; to-day, like an angry lion, which leaps furiously against tho bars of his cage— the editor foams, and begs to be “ let at him, ” threatens his enemy with a caning on first sight, but to-morrow, awed into humble sub mission by the ferocious looks of the man ho has abused, he is gentle as a lamb, and more polite than a Frenchman; he re tracts all he has said, makes every apologv, and shakes hands most cordially with “ burn ing brand of the social circle," as he in yester day's paper styled his adversary. The editor is in himself a multitude, and though generally known to the public by one name alone, he rejoices in a hundred others of all kinds, embraced under the general name of correspondents. The favorite name which he takes is, “ A Constant Reader,” and he is sure in these pieces to mention the “ valuable paper,” or “ the interesting columns,” always beginning with “Mr. Editor.” and winding up with “ your obedient servant.” The editor possesses an infinite stock of ingenuity, and is constantly exercising it, in filling up and mak ing his columns interesting when news is scarce, and nothing of interest going on. A favorite device is, that of publishing the ad ventures and wonders that travellers have met with in other lands; these are compiled from old books, and by changing the dates and mak ing some other alterations, they answer all the purposes of bran-new articles. Indeed, ws don’t know but they are better, for in making the necessary alterations, the editor insert* adventures that never did, and are never like ly to happen, which are far more interesting than the dull proscy accounts which some travellers give us of their travels. The pub lic may recognise the pieces to which we al lude under the head of “ Foreign Correspon dence,” Editors are expected to know everything, but they are often put to their wits end by the inquiries of some lazy fellow who, prompt ed by an impertinent curiosity, is forever pry ing into the secrets of antiquity, and is alway* propounding some difficult question about tho manners and laws of the ancient Goths, or the precise day on which Julius Caesar was born. Some of these questions are so very tough, that they can only be answered by re ferring the inquirer to some old history which, between us and the public, would be more dif ficult to find than an answer to the question, and w hich it is highly probable was never in existence. Editors arc great collectors of curiosities; if Nature in the waywardness of her fancy gives to some mortal an advantage over his brethren by bestow ing upon him an additional toe or finger, the event is recorded in a conspicuous place, and set off with a shower of inteijec tions and exclamation points, while two hands point directly at the “ Wonderful Affair” in order to attract attention. If some crusty old miser, with one foot in the grave, gives hi* hoarded wealth to a college or church, we find it in the paper under the head of “Unparal lelled Generosity,” or “ Magnanimous Disin terestedness.” If a bunch of grapes ripen be fore its time, if a tomato swell to an uncom mon size, or two potatoes, through proximity to each other, should be joined into one, or a cow that formerly gave but a pint of milk now gives a pint and a half, the wonderful event* are given to the world in a flaming article headed “ Beat this who can f” As a judge, the editor passes sentence of condemnation upon the effusions of his cor respondents —as a General, he arranges his co lumns to defend the rectitude of his prim’ 1 * pics, the freedom of his country, tho excel lence of his paper or the “ Liberty of Press” —as a novelist, he deals largely in c * tion, under which head may be classed P r ° T spectuses, and articles setting forth the claim* * , » L» of papers to public patronage— as a .critic, »
