PURE ORE.
Msw poetry is very littl * noticed in these days, but the
following are a few marked passages fioin a poem re
cently published:
“ Earths are men,
Like to the ynvng moon with a regg d edge,
Still in their .mperfeclioui beautiful —
Whose weakness are love ya- then strength,
Like the white, uebulon- matter between stars,
Which, if not light at least is likel light—
Men whom wehuild our love round, like an arch
Os triumph, as they pass us on their way
To gl ..ry atitl to immortality—
Mon whose great thoughts possess us. like a passion
Through every limb and the whole heart, whose words
Haunt us, as words would from a big her sphere—
Who play upon the heart as on a harp
And raakoour eyes bright as we speak of them."
** Poets are all who love—* Ito feel greattrn'h*
And tell them; and the truth of truths is love.
Imagination is the air of mind—
Passion its fire. I was at home in Heaven.
Oh.locreate within the mind, is bliss!
Thera was a tune—oh I remember well—
When, like as a shell, w i h iUse.-boru strain,
My soul aye range with music of my lyte.
And shed its words os leaves distil their dew,
J huney-dew and throve on what it shed,
Then I began tile toil divine of verse,
Till.liy degrees from wrestling with my soul,
I gather'd strength to keep the fleet thoughts fust ,
And made them bless me."
“ Ay, every thought
And look oflovc which thou hast lent mo,
i omss daily through my memory as stars.
Wear through the dark.''
When 1 forget that the stars that shine in air—
WheU I forgetthat beauty is in stars—
\vlicn I forgot that love is all my life—
Will I fonte thee;—till I hen, all things else..
Thv love to me, was perfect from tlie first,
E'en as the rainbow in its native skies.
It did not grow: — Let meaner tilings mature !"
11 I’ve seen him when he had
A letter from his lov’d one, and he bless’cl
The paper that her hand had travel’d over,
And her eye look’d on; and would think he saw
Gleams of that light site lavish’d from her eyes,
WamlVing amid the words of love there traced.
Like glow-worms among beds of flowers. He teem'd
To bear with being but because she lov'd him."
" We shall lack nothing, having love, and we,
We shall be happy every w here—wc two!"
*' And Hope
Promised to search the world for me, and bring
Its joys distill’d, ns’t were, in one sweet flower,
And lay it to be pluck’d, before my IVet—
Aod now t feel that flower contain’d thyse’f,
The drop within its nectary, thy soul I"
"The mind, in ripening,grow*
fio fait, it fails ; and then its stretch is more
Than its strength ; hut if we love, love fills it,
Till, for the time, we well nigii grow all love —
And never live again, without one heart
Tulove what’s well, and 10 forgive what's ill
) a us. And for that heart wc risk the world.''
“ ’ nd Jove is hearen.
Pise why doth mind, the bright, stur-trarel'd stronger
Who here soj .ur.net!i only for an hour,
Risk all the riches of his life to come,
Entranc'd in the forgetfulness of love.”
'•We’ll meet with night about us, and let love
Light up the eye, like morning the east.
Making amends for the long, wasted nights
That pass'd ere either knew the other lov'd."
" Love makes two beings each other clear
At one glauce, as two drops of rain in air
Might look into each other, had they l<fe.
l.ove does away disguise.”
"Ohl would fling asi ’r thy wavy locks
And feed m n*; eyes on thy wh te brow, and look
D-*ep i thine eyes, till I feel mine hav drank
Full of that soft tret flre which floats in tk ve —
Eyes which I ne’er would leave, \et when most near
Then most astray—and oh to lay ray cheek
Upon thy sweet ami swelling bosom, deanet.
And name thee, make thee, but one moment mine."
"Thy sweet words drop upon tha ear as soft
As rose leaves on a well ; and f could listen
As tho’ th’ immortal melody 1 f heaven
Were wrought into one wo;/ —'.hat word a whisper—
That whisper all 1 want from all 1 lor c.”
” My life is one long loving thought of thee.
If any ask ms what 1 do, 1 s y
I levs, and that is all.”

ENGLISH REPUDIATION.
We are sick and tired of the continual
tirades against the honor and character of
our Government and nation in which cer
tain papers delight so much to indulge.
We were inoitified to read in the Bulletin
of Monday a labored effort 10 show, what
even the facts.stated by the writer utterly
disproved, that the credit of our nation
stood low in the market of the world, and
that it was ascribahlo to the repudiation
of one or of several of the Slates. To
show that ihe Bulletin’s model Govern
ment in this respect, old England, has
been guilty of repudiation in a form far
worse than any that has over disgraced
the history of any one of our Stales, we
quote the following extract from a letter
published in the Boston Traveller:
“A singular case of British injustice
has terminated in the stir.den death of the
oppressed victim. This ca’-e is the claim
of the recently deceased Baron de Bode
on the British Government, amounting to
half a million sterling. Through vexa
lions opposition and legal quibbling, vast
sums of money have been expended du
ring the last thirty years by ihe Baron de
Bode, for the purpose ot obtaining his
just demands. The Baron’s case may he
briefly slated, llis father was a German
nobleman, possessing a large estate in
the district of Alsace, which was under
the French dominion —it is now under
the sway of Ausliia. The Baron died,
leaving this property to his son, the re
cently deceased Baron, who was horn in
England, and consequently entitled to
the rights of a British subject. The
French Revolution annihilated feudal and
seignoriul privileges, and deprived all
English holders of property of their
French possessions. Baron de Bride was
of this number. When Louis the XVIII
"as restored to the throne in 1811, the
French Government sent lo England
seven millions sterling as indemnification
to British subjects wl o had lost their pro.
peny by the revolution. The Baron de
Bode claimed half a million sterling.—
This claim was rejected, on the ground
that the Baron had not pioved that he
was a British subject. After tedious de
lays and numeiuus hearings, involving
enormous expenses, the claim was a se
cond time rejected. The Baron then pe
titioned the House of Commons, but ihe
case was always disposed of by “count
ing out” the House. The Baron then
look his case to the Court of Chancery,
and ihe result a trial at bar in 1844, when
a verdict was found hij a special jury in
favor of ike Baron for <£3054,256 with in
terest from 1819. Did the'Government
1 lien and immediately draw a cheque for
ihe amount? It did nothing of the kind.
What step was taken to dodge the debt?
The crown was made lo defend itself hy
pleading tho <latute of limitation! What
an In nos! old gentleman is John Bull !
Let hint forever hold his yeace repealing
his worthy daughter, Pennsylvania.—
Though the Baron’s claims were fully
admitted by a BriiLh jury, the law per
milled the British crown to dodge behind
the slateute of limitations! Anoiher trial
look place in 1845, in the Queen’s Bench
when Lord Denman pronounced against
the Baron, on the ground that he had not
shown that his property had been unduly
confiscated. A writ of error was allowed.
The case was to have been argued before
Judges of the Common Pleas and the
Barons of the Exchequer in the ensuing
term.
“Death has, however, relieved tho Ba
ron of further trouble in this case.”
Not Quite Sure. —'Lite whigs are not
quite so sure as many of their journals
pretend to he, of having a majority in the
next House of Representatives of the
United States. One evidence of this, as
well as of llie desperate efforts that will
he made to secure such a majoiity, is
furnished in an infamous suggestion of
the National Intelligencer that the Legis
lature of North Carolina, being whig,
should at its present session, redistrict that
state for membersof Congress! We should
not have much fear of the result, even if
this shameful suggestion wete carried out
—for we do not believe there is even a
wbicr slata in the Union that would not
n
rebuke at the polls such measureless po
litical rascality. The whig party of North
Carolina would overwhelm ail partici
pants in such piratical warfare, and the
workers of the iniquity would have “the
shame without the game!”— York, Penn

| PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE COMPARED.
Some friend has been kind enough to
send us a pamphlet with this title, printed
;at Salem. It is, of course, an effort to
( depreciate free trade and the ad valorem
Tariffof 1846. We have notread much
of it, for we see that it is little else than a
| repetition of the old twaddle about Arne
-1 rican industry, the cunning of England,
! and such like tilings. Since it is a fact
i clear as the sun at noon, that Free Trade
| affords the highest possible remuneration
i for industry, and that protection i« but a
i soft and deceptive name for the oppres
i sion of labor, we do not care to spend
I lime in listening to such delusive sophistry,
| especially as we see the sophistry so
clearly that we are sure to get no benefit
from if. But we have another reason for
reading little and writing little on the
subject now. The great argument is soon
to be, nay is already, transferred from
theory to practical facts. The people
are to see by the working of Free Trade
j in the country, and the world L to see by
! its operation in the two chief commercial
nations of the globe, what is its real effect.
Our farmers and mechanics are to have
the truth proved to demonstration, by the
fuels as they pass before them- If the
i predictions of the Tariff men are fulfilled,
i in universal ruin devastating our country
1“ J
under the Tariff of 1846, then let the ban
j of eternal outlawry be written upon it.
i But if on the contrary, all these prnguos
-1 tications of evil shall lie proved to be gross
| falsehoods.—if prosperity, higher and
| richer than was ever before enjoyed, is
I spread over the nation, then let the ca
i lumnialors of liberty lake the place of
shame which is due to deceivers. The
issue is fairly joined. Both sides have
declaied what is in the futuie. The fu
ture will determine all things, and bring
in its true ami faithful verdict. The wise
men of the East must now submit to the
decision of facts. The world will see and
know whether the repeal of the British
corn laws is a benefit, or a damage, to
Great Britain and to us. All men will
see whether our industry, of all occupa
tions, is better or worse paid, under the
Tariffol 5 46. All men will know, whether
under this Tariff, the country is drained
of its coin to pay for excessive importa
tions of foreign goods, or is enriched with
coin brought from foreign countries in
payment for excessive exports. We shall
see and know the facts; and the people
will have discernment enough to compre
hend their true character. 'The free trade
men have promised the country great
i prosperity, under the new order of things,
i 'The protectionists have predicted distress
1 and ruin. Let the polemics lay down
i their pens and await the decision of events.
■ We rest for that decision.
Com. Moore. —lt was slated, a few days
I ago, in speaking of Alvarado, that Com.
, Moore, of the Texas navy, had once taken
i it with two Baltimore built schooners.
I This was an error. It was Tabasco that
i Com. Moore too, and levied the sum of
I $26,000. His force was one ship oft wenty
guns, one brig of nine guns, one schooner
of seven guns, and one steam ship of eight
guns. The steamship was a powerful one,
with double engines of 42 inch cylinders.
The vessels had to be towed against a
strong current, and the water one foot
less in depth than on Alvarado bar.

Hogs! Hogs!! Hogs!!! —Look out you
folks of the low country, especially those
who aredesirous of purchasing pork. In
the last month no less than 30,000 hogs
have passed through this place, and on the
Tennessee road three miles east of the
j town. We understand that there is thou
i sands more on the vioad, of the finest qual
! ity. We hoped to see many drovers send
ing their hogs per Rail Road, but they say
they can diive as cheap, if not cheaper
than they can freight. Be this as it may,
we still incline to the opinion, that sending
them per Rail Road is die cheapest in the
long run. It is supposed, that not less
iban 60,000 hogs will he drove the pres
ent season.— CassviUe Pioneer, Nov. 27.
Corn. —We were informed by Col.
Edmonson of Spring Place, last week,
that he intended to freight 20,000 bush
els of corn to Savannah, during the pres
ent Winter. We were at Col. E’s Mills,
where he was shelling from three to four
hundred bushels per day. sacking, and
preparing it ready f»r market. Murray
will send 60,000 bushels of corn to mar
ket this year, to assist in feeding the Irish,
Scotch, &c. — CassviUe Pioneer, Nov. 27.
India Rubber a Cure for Tooth-acne. —A
small piece of India Rubber is tied by a
thread and lit at a candle, and when melted
the flame is blown out, and it is pressed while
vet warm into the hollow tooth, whereupon
the pain disappears immediately. It is best
to dry the cavity of the tooth with a piece
of cotton beforehand, a? the India Rubber
is then -firmly applied, and the air is entirely
excluded from the nerves of the tooth. Dr.
Rollfjj has also used it frequently for the last
year, and in every case with immediate suc
cess. It does not, to be sure, always pre
vent the return of the pain, but can easily

o*our regular Carrier for the first and

evening, and we could not supply his place
in lime for the delivery of our Sunday morn
ing paper, to subscribers in that portion of
the city. Should any omissions occur this
morning, we hope onrsubscribers will excuse
them, as the new carrier is but partially ac
quainted with the route.
0“ This community has met with a sad
bereavement, in the loss of one of its most
valued and esteemed citizens, Thomas J.
Parmelee is no more. He died of apoplexy
about seven o’clock yesterday morning, alter
a few hours illness. He had been the day
before in his usual fine health—had'occupied
his accustomed seal in the Episcopal Churc! ,
and had spent the evening in the family Cir
cle of a friend. He had just returned to his
house from ibis visit, when feeling suddenly
unwell, he called for assistance. The sum
mons was promptly obeyed, but he was
speechless before assistance could reach him,
and lie never spoke afterwards. His family
were absent; but all that medical skill
could accomplish, and all that ti?b kindest
friendship could offer to mitigate suffering,
and to sooth his last moments, w r cre render
ed on the melancholy occasion.
For many years the deceased had been
distinguished in our midst as one among our
most intelligent and successful merchants,
and was noted for his kind and benevolent
disposition. “His hand was open as the day
to melting charity,” and in all the hospital
ities of life, he stood among the foremost.
His loss will be long lamented hy a wide
circle of friends who were strongly attached
to him by his many estimable qualities.
37*We have the pleasure ot acknowledg
ing the receipt from a friend in the up-coun
try, of a barrel of remarkably fine Irish Pota
toes, which were produced this year,, upon
the plantation of Col. Jos. Walters, of Floyd
county. They are of a size and quality so
fine as to do ample justice to the established
reputation of CM. W., as one of the most
skillful and enterprising planters in upper
Georgia. They demonstrate also, that the
soil and climate of the Cherokee region are
well adapted for this valuable article of food.
Having tried a portion of them at dinner
yesterday, wo can testify that the flavor is
in every respect unexceptionable.
O’ We return our acknovvledgmants to
the publisher, Mr. James McCafferty, of this
city, for the December No. of tire Southern
Medical and Surgical Journal. It is distin
guished by its usual neat typographical exe
cution. The contents, both original and se
lected, are varied and interesting. Some ar
ticles would interest even the unprofessional,
and we have snatched from our absorbing
diurnal engagements, a portion of time to
read some of its most interesting articles.
O’Tiie Lt, Governor elect of New York, I
Mr. Gardiner, who was the Democratic no- !
minee, cannot be identified in any way with
Anti-rcnlism. He is free from that foul j
taint. He relieved himself from all suspi- |
cion of a leaning that way by declining em
phatically the nomination of the Anti-rent
Convention. He accepted the nomination ot
the Democratic party, and was elected as
their avowed candidate. It is true many
thousand Anti-renters voted for him. This
they had the right to do. But if placed Mr.
Gardiner under no obligations to them. He
is under no pledges directly or indirectly to
sustain their lawless views.
The same cannot be said of the Whig i
Governor elect, John Young, who accepted :
the nomination of the Anti-renter*, ran as j
their avowed candidate, and made p’edges to
them with a view to securing their support, i
which it will he disgraceful for him to re
deem, and which if he violates must lose for
Ins party the future support of their worthy \
allies, thus worthily obtained.

Gun Cotton Superceded. —Mr. George j
Turner, of Leeds, England, has discovered
an explosive compound cheaper than that
from cotton. Instead of cotton he uses saw
dust or any fibrous vegetable matter, which
he immerses from eight to ten minutes in
equal measures of nitric acid, specific gravi
ty one and a half, and of common oil of vit
riol. A slight increase of the latter increases
the rapidity of combustion. With this pre- *
pared saw dust, Mr. Turner discharged a j
pocket pistol, loaded with hall, -with force |
equal to that of gunpowder. Weight for j
weight, he thinks the saw dust will prove the
better projectile. — Salt. Clipper,

Foco) of the 14th instant says—
‘•We have not yet been able to procure the

tained in our paper of last week. The de

Paper. —The first paper mill in England,
was erected in the year 1588 by a German ■
who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, being
258 years ago. About 140 years from that
time, a paper-mill was erected in New-Eng
land, in the town of Milton, Mass., on a side
adjoining tie Neponset river, near the lower
bridge. An act to encourage the manufac
ture of paper in New-England, was passed ■
by the general court of Massachusetts, on
the 13th of September, 1728, and a patent |
was granted to Daniel Henchman and others, |
for the sole manufacture of paper for ten
years, on the following conditions, viz:—
During the first 15 months to make 140
reams of brown paper, and 60 reams ol print
ing paper. The second year to makeso
reams of writing paper, in addition to the
first mentioned quantity, and so on, that the
total annual produce of the various quanli
ties may not be less than 500 reams per year, i
j Such is the origin ofthejfrs/ paper-mill bui t
in New England, and probably the first in
America. And such was the commencement
of that now valuable and extensive branch
of New England productive industry, on
which so many thousands depend for support.

AMERICAN \ND BRiTiSH SOLDIERS COMPARED.
CIUDAD RODRIGO AND MONTEREY.
lu the Della of Sunday vve noticed the
: communication published in the New
■ York Albion, with expressions of the holy
i horror of the English editor, in which
charges of improper and unsoldier-like
conduct are made against our Volunteer
forces in Mexico. We said that these
charges, even if true, were of a petty and
frivolious nature—that, compared with
the deeds of the English soldiers in Spain,
! during ’.he Peninsular war, lln*v were
| r» *
i mere peccadilloes* venial peccadilloes,
which none but the microscopic eye of
I jealousy could ever discover. Byway of
. proof and illustration of our rern nk, vve
1 give an extract from the English histo
| nan, Alison, showing what followed that
! renowned exploit of British valor, the
; stormingoFCincJad Rodiigo. En passant.
we would sav, that those v\ h > cimpure
the taking of Monterey with that of Ciu
dad Rodrigo, do great injustice to our gal
lant army. Though undeniably a bril
liant exhibition of Biitisb courage, i*
should be borne in mind that in ibis at
tack the English were to the force within
the town as twenty to one. There were
in fact but eighteen hundred French in
Ciudad Rodrigo, opposed to more than
fort v thousand British. A not her fact also
should be borne in mind, that tfie British
were assisted by more than one hundred
cannon, of the heaviest calibre, whilst.,
by an omission which some persons con
sider a blunder of our General, the at
tack on Monterey was made without any
heavy artillery. But to our extract. —
After describing the attack and capture
of Ciudad Rodrigo, Alison proceeds to
sa v:
j “ A frightful scene of plunder, intoxication and
| vi )lence immediately ensued. The firm", which
| ceased for a moment when the tumult at the
breaches subsided,was now renewed in the irregu
lar way which denoted the commencement ot
riot and disorder, and shouts and screams uii all
sides, fearfully intermingled with the groans
of the wounded. The churches were ransacked,
the wine and spirit cellars pillaged, and brutal in
toxication spread in every direction. Soon the
flames were seen bursting forth in several quarters,
i Some houses were burned to the ground, others
i already ignited; and it was only hy the intre
pidity of a few ofTic rs and soldiers, whose cool
ness deservesthe highest praise, that a fire, won
| tonly lighted in the midst of the great pov\dei-.naga
-1 zine, was extinguished.”
Now turn to the capture of Monterey
; by the Regulars and ‘Mumultary soldiery
; of the Mississippi Vallery,” and view a
scene of unparalleled moderation and
I good conduct in a victorious army? With
| everything to a rouse thei r passions against
| a cruel and treacherous enemy,whose val
orous lances were directed against the
breasts of our wounded and mutilated
; soldiers —after a severe, protracted, and
to us, destructive resistance, onr conquer
ing force entered to captive city w ith the
regular discipline of a parade day, and
j demeaned themselves there more like
i guests partaking of the hospitality of the
j citv, than a victorious enemy taking pos
j sesion of their hard-earned trophy.

OCpDr. Wis tars Balsam of Wild
CHERRY.— The extraordinary success attending
the use of this ra alicine in diseases of the lungs,
and the many singular cures it has effected, hav
ing naturally attracted the attention of many phy
sicians, as well as the w hole fraternity of quacks,
various conjectures and surmises have arisen re
specting iis composition; some physicians have
supposed it to contain iodine, other ignorant pre
tenders say it must contain mercury, and to some
such substance they each attribute its singular
efficacy. As such opinions are altogether erro
neous, and calculated to prejudice many person*
against it, we PLEDGE OUR HONOR that it
contains nothing of this kind, or anything the
least injurious; on the contrary, it is composed of
the most simple substances, the principal of which
are the extracts of tar and wild cherry bark, and
the whole secret of its efficacy consists in the mode
by which they are prepared.
