From the Lady's Font:. The Two (iraves. Leaves have their time to fall. And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, • And stars to set —but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh ! Death. Mrs. Hemans. To the pensive and thoughtful there is a mel ancholy charm about the quiet resting places of the dead. When harrassod hy the cares of life, or pained hy its sorrows, here are they soothed and strengthened hy the thought, that tiie hour will soon eomo when their wearied frames will repose lieneath the grassy sod, and their glad spi rits wing their way to Him who gave thorn. I have ever loved to tread these peopled solitudes— the last earthly home# of the departed, whether they he among the ranges of marble lonihs in the city ccmeliy, in the green village church-yard, or the sequestered family burial ground, kept sacred from the intruding footsteps of strangers, where those who have loved in life are clustered in one little hand, apart from the rest of the world. When those who are sleeping in the earth arc unknown to me, still they are human beings and I love to .muse on the history recorded on their grave-stones. Hut when I am standing beside the mouldering remains of those whom I knew and loved, oh ! how vividly does memory bring back their recol lection I I see them again in their own homes, around their own fire-sides, until the fond dream of fancy becomes plainfully distinct ill its imagin ings. Whenever there has been a wish expressed re specting the last earthly dwelling place, it seldom needs the sculptured line to tell the character of its inmate, for it can sometimes lie more forcibly read by this rhoiee thanliy any laboured inscription. Travelling in a distant section of the country, through a lonely part of the village, road, 1 saw a solitary grave in the centre of an extensive mea dow. 'There was a gentle rise at the farther ex tremity of the field that gave the whole expanse at once to the eye. It was covered with soft green herbage, without a tree to shade its sunni ness, save the two that bent over the tomb. It seemed as if he who chose the spot, hud wished that his grave should he the only object upon which the glance of the passer-by might rest. Upon making inquiry respecting it, I was told that the meadow had been purchased hy the man who was buried there, that he might have a grave apart from others. They could tell me nothing more of his history than this; hut here much was revealed in this one, simple wish. How often have 1 thought of that insulated tomb, and of him who slept beneath it, and have imagined the ma ny reasons that might have induced so singular a choice. During a temporary sojourn in the vilage, near which I saw this lonely burial place, I visited two graves, with which were connected many sad and interesting associations. One was (hat of a young mother, who died soon after the birth of her first child, and they sleeping together in the same tomb. She had been intimate in the fami ly where I resided, and I heard her so frequently i poken of, that it seemed as if I, too, had known uni loved her. Her rare beauty, her intelligence, her graceful accomplishments, were themes upon which all were delighted to dwell. She hud been •v n a visit in the neighborhood, when her combi ned attractions won the heart of a gentlomrn who uid been thought insensible to female rhurms. A few months after her return to her distant homo, he came hack to the village, a bride, and liecume one of the brightest ornaments of its society. Her fascinating manners made her a general ’favour ite ; and lb ought it a pity that one so fit ted to adorn the highest circle of a city, should he buried in the obscurity of a country residence. Bui she thought not so ; for the love of her hus band and his family, and the esteem and friend ship of his acquaintance, fully contented her, and site wished for no wider sphere. She was a bright, joyful creature, with a heart filled with happiness and affection, and, for a short period, her life was blissful as a fairy dream. The village, though a pleasant residence during part of the year, was subject to annual returns of a (all epidemic. The husband of this lovely wo man, fearing to incur the risk of her remaining there while uaaeelimated, had determined to take her on an early visit to her parents, where she was to continue until the healthful autumnal frosts had purified the air from every taint of miasma. Hut during that summer, the sickly season made Us appearance a month sooner than usual, and with unwonted virulence. Among the first who were stricken by it was this blooming wife, who was laid ou a bod of suffering for a few months alter her marriage. The most devoted nursing saved her through a long and dangerous indispo sition ; hut she had scarcely begun to recover her strength, when she was again taken extremely ill, It was thus that she lingered on through that long, ■dreary summer, passing from one relapse into an other, until she had gone through every disease peculiar to the climate. It was during the ensuing winter, that a rela tive came to visit her and brought her infant. 1 liis lady frequently spoke of the pleasure the ehihl allorded the lovely, patient invalid, !She would take it beside her on the bed, caress it, and nestle it in her arms as fondly as if she was its mother. On the days when she was well enough to sit up, she would he busy with her needle, in prepa ring little articles of clothing for her own expert »’' nurseling, and no employment seemed so de lightful to her. She would thus sit, hour after hour, with a quiet smile irradiating her pale face, and a dreamy express on of happiness in her dark eye, as if anticipating the bliss in store for her the bliss of maternity. The anxiously expected hour came at last, and she lay for some time ns if sinking away into •death. Every now ami then, some one would softly steal to the bed-side and bond down their ear towards the exhausted sulferer, that they might bear her almost inaudible breathing. To look on her, all would have thought her a corpse—so pale, so still. There was much of death ami nothing like life in the painful sight At last she roused ami asked for her babe. Perceiving the agitated whispering together of those who were with her, she faintly said. “It is dead!” A short convul sive soli heaved her bosom ; a few tears trickled through the slender fingers that covered her eyes, and again she sank into that fearful state of ex haustation. One ol her attendants went to her immediately to administer a restorative ; hut the spirit of the young mother had gone to her child. It was several years after her death, when I "food hy her tomb; but I felt as if the events of her life were of yesterday. Her body was mould ered into dust; hut her memory was yet green in the hearts ot those who loved her. And her des olate parents still were mourning for their idolized slaughter, who was buried in a southern grave, far, tar away from her kindred and the home of her youth. • • • • A few weeks after my visit to the grave of the young mother, 1 attended the funeral sermoiTof a young lady who had died a short lime before. She was the only child; and her father had been a widower from the hour of Iter birth. She was the idol and his only solace; and for her sake he bad given up ail employment that obliged him to entrust her education to others, and was about to settle upon his paternal estate, that hr might de rvl o' ’ Ume lK ‘ r * ,l!itruc ti°u. He left her at a Stem akTJ , I ntC " l ’ pJ ttl 'd proceed that he mi i, ? " ra 'W"*ut of his business, that he might Ik? nettled in bis home U-fore the him of her .-i l"' i '’ U * ' c,u ‘ r appri he house just as the funeral hail passed out of sight; ami when his beloved daughter came not to welcome him, ns he had been fondly expecting, he asked for her and learned the dreadful truth— dial she was lost to him forever! Oh ! how my heart felt for the stricken father, as I saw him sitting with bowed head, while the minister was speaking of the virtues and the hap py deuth-bed scene of his young and idolized child. He heaved no sigh, he shed no tear, but there was an expression of settled melancholy up on his countenance, that was softened by the calm resignation of the Christian. After the service was over, he went to her grave, and standing 1«- side it, lifted up a silent prayer for strength to help him in his hour of need. As soon as I saw him take his sad farewell of the last earthly home of her whom he had so fondly loved, I went to the grave-yard and remained there while waiting for the carriage that was to return for me. It was the family burial place, and was beautifully situ ated on the shore of a calm sheet of water. I sat down on one of the tombs beside the newly made grave of her who had died in her youth, and thought that in such a spot as tills, would I like to ehose my own place of rest. The western breeze blew freshly across my brow, and gently rustled the foliage of the overarching trees, while the waves came softly plashing against the pebbly beach, both producing that rushing, whispering sound so peculiar to the winds and the waters.— Thi beautiful cove lay like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky on its bosom, and occasional ripples on its surface were seen as the fish darted upward to view with their silvery scales gleaming irr the sunshine. There was a hush —ll holy quiet about the scene, suited for the homo of the dead, and the only sound that broke harshly upon its still ness, was the wild scream of the seagull as it rose from the water and flew upward, and away, until it disappeared from our sight among the fleecy clouds of the summer sky. Mas. G. Baltimore, Md., Fear Not. BY JUSIAII CONur.lt. “Fair nut—l have thckeijn of the grave and of death." ilev. i. 17, 18. Oh! cling not, trembler, to life’s fragile bark i It fills —it soon must sink ! Look nut below, where all is chill and dark; ’Tis agony to think Os that wild waste. Jlut, look ! Oh, look above ! And sec the outstretched arm of love .' Cling not to this poor life. Unlock thy clasp Os (U-eting, vapoury air j The world, receding, soon will mock thy grasp; Jlut let the wings of prayer Take heaven’s own blessed breeze and upward flee, And life from Clod shall enter thee. Oh ! fear not Him who walks the stormy wave ; 'Tis not a spectre, but the Lord ! Trust thou to Him who overcame the grave, Who holds in captive-ward The powers ol death. Heed not the monster grim, Not fear to go through death to Him. Look not so fondly back on this false earth; Let hope not linger here; Say, would the worm forego ils second birth. Or the transition fear, That gives its wings to try a world unknown, Although it wakes and mounts alone i Hut thou art not alone ; on cither side The portal, frieds stand guard; And the kind spirits wait, thy course to guide. Why, why should it he hard To trust our Maker with the soul he gave. Or Him who died, that oul to save ?

Oh ! give Him love for love, and sweetly fall Into His hands who is thy all. Illinois.- —The Whigs and Conservatives of the tliird district of Illinois, celebrated on the 2!Hh tilt, at Springfield, their victory, in the elec tion of their candidate for Congress and the de feat ol Locofocoism. The Sangamon Journal ' states that 2,000 citizens were present and par- 1 took of a sumptuous llarbacuc. i In reply to an invitation to (ho festival, Gov. i Duncan addressed to their committee an hide- , pendent and characteristic letter, from which we make the following extract: “ I commenced my political career a Democrat, and continued to claim that name so long ns that party acted upon the principles with which they set out; hut since they abandoned them, I am ready to join any parly, careless of its name, ad vocating true democratic republican principles, such as I have altered to. When I learned my principles of democracy, that party was in favor ot a cheap and economical Government, and wo turned Mr. Adams out for expending $ 11.},000,000I 1 .},000,000 per annum. Mr. Van Huron, the leader of the present dominant party, has increased the ex penses of Government from 1 ft,000,000 to 39,. 000,000 per annum. It was then considered dangerous and anti-republican for public officers to interfere with elections. It is now made a part of their duty, and the present democratic Chief Magistrate has the glory of having been elected by the jicrsonal influence and official dictation of the highest officer in the Government. When 1 belonged to that party, every public offi cer was a freeman—could vole, speak, and act in dependently—mid was considered a servant of the Public, governed by and acting under the autho rity ot law, which made every one a cheek upon the others, from the highest to the lowest, and all guardians of the People's rights; but now, they are regarded ns mere dependants of Government, to the bidding of the President, and are required to act us a unit, or be dismissed, disgraced, and denounced as refractory subordinates; which po licy has removed all those checks and balances that have heretofore so eft'eelually secured the public interest. Such policy must soon reduce the public officer to the condition of an abject palace slave. The law and Constitution, as con strued by the courts,'was then held sacred by all, and considered, by the Democrats especially, to In- the main bulwark of our liberties, and their strict observance as the best protection of the weak and poor from the oppression of the arbi trary and the rich. 'The President claiming to be the great head of the Democratic party, has advised and fully sanctioned the doctrine of his predecessor, in administering the laws according to Ids own judgment, and violates them and the Constitution whenever they stand in the way of his ambitious grasp after power. The freedom of Congress and the freedom of the press were then considered by that party ns the great palladiums ot our lilh-rty. Its leaders do not now hesitate to bribe and corrupt both by the most shameful and barefaced bestow meat of high public offices upon Members ol Congress and editors of newspapers, to an extent never known before in our country, for the manifest purposes of rewarding their ser vility in obtaining supjrort for the party. The Lexington, Ky. Intelligencer mentions the perpetration of a highway robbery and mur der, committed on the 2<Jlh ult. on the body of a Mr. Kennedy, ofdinton county, Ky. It apm-ara that Mr. K. on the same day had been in hexing, ton, and hud drawn money for Pensioners to th amount of* 150, and was returning home, when 1 ’ it is supposed, he was knocked down, robbed o f what money lie bad about him, and then dragge 1 ' into the woods where his body was found. Three young men, the oldest of whom is but 22 years of age. are suspected of being the murderers.* CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. AUGUSTA. THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 15.

And whereas in consequenccof said line being run as the true line between the State of Georgia and the Cherokee tribe, many of our citizens were induced to settle on the lands lying South of said line, as on ihc lands of the State of Georgia, and after having planted crops of corn and cultivated the same to maturity, had the same destroyed by a detach ment of United States troops, under the command of United States officers.

P nojKCTr.il IxsvnuECTiox or Slaves. —We cop- r the following narrative from the Evansville, In. Journal of Wednesday, the 24th of October! —A fe have no reason to doubt a statement given w ill ,so much minuteness and through so respcc tabl j a medium; but is it not rather singular that the scenes of all the projected servile insurrections in ] [entucky for so many years past have been laid in Henderson county 1 Why do not our He> iderson friends send their negroes down the rivi rand stock their farms with a new set Liu tn-. lie Journal. Great excitement has prevailed for a week cr two past, in Henderson county, Ky. in conse quent c of the discovery of a plan of insurrection of the slaves. Mr. Aikin, who lives on the op posite side of the river, a few miles from this place, discovered, a week ago last Sunday, that his horses had been ridden during the night, which, added to the fad that his slaves had of late been absent more frequently thafi usual, eli cited his suspicions. He separated three of his negro men who had been absent, and flogged each one into a confession of they had been and what was their object. The similarity of their confessions, separated as they were, placed the truth of them almost beyond a doubt. They stated that they had been a number of times to a meeting, at Race Creek, a few miles above this place, on the Kentucky side, attending the preaching of a white man by the name of Cummings, who told them they might gain their freedom and that he would provide them with arms and ammunition. The time for rising was to have been fixed upon last Saturday night; but the plot Iteing discovered, and Cummings getting wind of it, cleared out. It is said that Col. Mc- Lain was to be the first victim,—There is but little doubt that this Cummings is one of a band of villains whose object is plunder. It is known that Col. McLain and n number of his neighbors generally keep considerable money by them. A week ago last Saturday night the citizens, being alarmed, patrolled the streets, and made a general examination of the town; when only one negro man, out of two hundred, was to be found. Report says that a gang of villains had divided a great portion of the Slate into districts and were planning a general and simultaneous insurrection of the slaves, Cummings is represented as a very thick set, stout, athletic man. From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. Important from Canada. A Battle.— Our advices from Montreal arc up to Wednesday morning, 9 o’clock, and from the frontier to 5 P. M. of that day. On Wednesday morning early the steamboat Burlington, Commodore Sherman, stopped, as usual, at Champlain, when the engineer was in formed by the celebrated Dr. Cote that he had come to the determination to stop the intercourse between the United States and Canada, and for th?.t purpose the Burlington could not proceed farther—that he had under his control a force suffi cient to carry his purposes into effect. This in formation was immediately communicated to the commodore, who went on shore and had ah in terview with Cote; the result of which was, that the Burlington was permitted to proceed. We arc informed that Cote declared that this should be the last boat permitted to pass, and that he would brin-g down a field piece and fire it into any boat should attempt to pass, either way, after | hejng warned of his intention. Battle at Odutows. —lt being known at Odjetown that an attack was to be made on that place on Tuesday night, the militia were ordered under arms—and having received information that a parly of the rebels were approaching, they went out under cover of a dark night and fell in with them a short distance from the town—a battle ensued, which resulted in the death of eight of the insurgents, and the capture of a piece of ar tillery and two hundred stand of arms. It was not the intention, we aie informed, of the militia to be troubled with prisoners at this juncture. A sloop laden with munitions of war—among which was a large number of muskets—has been seized on Lake Champlain, by Mr. Crooks, one of the officers of the customs. It was the prevailing opinion at Montreal that tranquility would soon be restored. The admin istrator was making use of every means at his disposal to check the spirit of insurrection that had manifested itself. The object of the rebels appeared to be to make hostages, for which purpose they were making prisoners of women and children—prefering in all cases the ladies of respectable families. The Governor and Council, having granted' permission to the banks to suspend specie pay ments, they have all availed themselves of the privilege, except that of the People’s Bank—it was required of that institution that before th ey suspend the payment of specie, they should ma ke an exhibit of the state of their affairs—this th ey had not yet done. We mentioned that on Sunday night fig: fits were placed in the windows of the several dwel lings in Montreal; this was also done on Monday, and was to be continued until further orders. The name of Wolford Nelson, noticed yes tcr day, should have been Robert: Wolford waa onc of those sent to Bermuda. The 71st regiment, under the command of Col. Grey, left Montreal for Chumbly and St. Charles on Wednesday—they reached St. J( >hns at 11 o’clock, and immediately proceeded to ( heir places of destination. No intelligence had been received of the fate of Mr. Ellis and his family. Tho insurgent) s had made prisoners of Mrs. Odle and her famil; f of Naperville, and taken them away. Two dwelling houses in the village directly opposite St. Johns were set on fire on Wcdm >sday morning and burned down; the fire was pu t out with the aid of the troops stationed at St. J ohns. This probably led to the report that St. John s was seen in flames. The river is not wide, a ad a person at a short distance might readily have mistaken tho one for the other. Some fears were still felt for the safety o f the rail road, but a large military force is static ned at the principal points, which will exercise a v igilant watchfulness.
