BRVNSWZCH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORKXKG, FEBRUARY 1, £338. POETRY. From the New York Mirror. FRAGMENT OF AN INDIAN SKETCH. BY GEORGE P. MORRIS. They come ! —Be firm—in silence rally ! The spoilers our retreat have found ! Hark ! their tramp is in the valley, And they hem the forest round ! The burtliencd boughs with pale scouts quiver, The echoing hills tumultuous ring, While across the eddying river, Their barks, like foaming war-steeds, spring! The blood-hounds darken land and water — They come—like buffaloes for slaughter ! Sec their glittering files advancing, See upon the free winds dancing Pennon proud and gaudy plume : The stranger comes in evil hour, In pomp and panoply and power, To plant a weed where bloomed a flower, Where sunshine broke to spread a shower, And e’en our manly hearts to cower, And trample in the tomb ! Right he forgets while strength he lcels ; Our life he drains, our land he steals ; And, when the vanquished Indian kneels, He spurns him from his sight ! Be set forever in disgrace The glory of the red-man’s race, If from the foe he turns his face, To save himself in flight ! They come ! —up and upon them, braves ! Fight for your altars and your graves ! Drive back the stern, invading slaves,' In fight till now victorious ! Like lightning from storm-clouds on high, The hurtling death-winged arrows fly, And wind-rows of pale warriors die ! Oh ! never has the sun’s bright eye Looked from his hill-tops in the sky, Upon afield so glorious ! They're gone—again the red men rally, With dance and song the woods resound ; The hatchet's buried in the vally ; No foe profanes our hunting ground ! The green leaves on the blithe boughs quiver, The verdant hills with song-birds ring, While our bark-canoes, the river Skim like swallows on the wing, Mirth pervades the land and water, Free from famine, sword and slaughter ! Let us, by this gentle river, Blunt the axe and break the quiver, While, as leaves upon the spray, Peaceful flow our years away ! Yet, alas ! the hour is brief, Left for either joy or grief ! All on earth that we inherit From the hands of the Great Spirit, Wigwam, hill, plain, lake and field, To the white-man must we yield ; For, like sun-down on the waves, We are sinking to our graves ! From this wilderness of wo Like a caravan we go, Leaving all our groves and streams For the far-off land of dreams. There are prairies waving high, Boundless as the sheeted sky, Where our father's spirits roam, And the red-man has a home. Let tradition tell our story As we fade in cloudless glory, As we seek the land of rest Beyond the borders of the west, No eye but ours may look upon— We are the children of the sun ! .11 ISC E L LA ]\ Y. From the Boston Mercantile Journal. VICTORIA, OR TIIE DIFFERENCE IN OPINION. “It is really amusing,” said I to my friend, “to read the many fulsome paragraphs, flood ing every column of a newspaper and maga zine, respecting the Queen Victoria of Eng land, and then bring our mind to the reality of what Victoria is; —no more or less than a plain, homely girl, of between eighteen and nine teen Summers. Were she the angelic crea ture,the earthly paragon, which she has been represented to be, every bachelor’s heart would leap with delight that she was free to marry whom she pleased.” My friend made no reply to this long exor dium, and I resumed :—“Few bachelors how ever, who are sure of their bread and cheese for a twelvemonth, would care for the heart or hand of the youthful Victoria ; for though young and a queen, 6he is nevertheless as ug ly as our pussy-cat.” Our friend started with astonishment—“Pon honor this is no fable,’ we continued, “for we have-had a squint at her three different times, when she was a careless girl sauntering about London, seeing the lions.” She and her mother, the Duchess of Kent, were taking an airing in Hyde Park one Sab bath afternoon, apd all eyes were turned to- wards the carriage. “Whocan that be ?”’ said , I to my friend, who had a touch of “Dond \ street” about him. “Victoria,” said he. “Victoria!” “Aye—heir apparent to the British throne.” “Fudge—that girl—that ugly—” “Whist—she’s an angel—she’s a paragon she’s a— “Nonsense,” said I ; —and wo went on,' squinting at N. P. W., as large as life, with ! his new claret, high boots, white kids, etc. etc., till we were lost in the crowd ofamiablcs, fashionables, etc. * * # # 4 Again—wc dropped in at Drury Lane—there sat the Duchess of Kent, and the youthful Victoria at her side, as plain as a pipe stem. \ Now my lovely, thought I, I’ll have another : squint at you ; and I put my quizzers on, and she magnified horribly. Oh, what a complex ion ! What features ! What thick lips! O thought I, you don’t catch me to marry that girl for her beau!;/ ; and then I turned my eyes to witness the inimitable performance ofllie peer less Ellen Tree, (for she was in London at that time) and soon forgot all about the youthful the smiling—the happy Victoria. # # # * # Again—l strolled into Kensington Gar dens. It was a Yankee forenoon as to time, but a London midnight—smoke and fog—as to appearance. I had my “sprig” with me. “What old house is that yonder,” said I. “ That ?—that is Kensington Palace,” said he sharply. “Kensington Palace! —is that a palace?— who lives there ?” “The Duchess of Kent, and her daughter Victoria, said he, with a long sigh, as lie cast his eyes towards the ancient domain. “Victoria !” said I, astonished. “Aye—England’s flower—the lily of the vale.” “Pshaw !” “Whist! There—there—look yonder— look for yourself,” said he, raising his cane in the direction of her window. I looked eargerly, and there stood, sure o nough, the youthful—the smiling Victoria, as homely as ever, in her night cap! Sketch of Loro Brougham. From a work lately published in London, entitled “The Bench and Bar.” Asa barrister, and as a member of the House of Commons, the name of Henry Brougham was as familiar to the public car and eye as that of Lord Brougham now is or ever can bo. Ilis practice at the bar was ex tensive; it was very lucrative also. lam con fident that, for ten or twelve years previous to his elevation to the bench, it could not have averaged less than £15,000 per annum. He was retained in almost all important cases. It was only in these, indeed, that he appeared to advantage. No two men could be more un like each other than was Henry Brougham in a case of limited interest and in one of com manding importance. I know some barristers of great distinction and of first-rate talon*, that can throw their whole soul into matters of the most trifling kind. T know, for example, instances of the most trivia! assaults, in which the counsel for the plaintiff Ims entered with as much energy into the case as if the defend ant had been a second Guy Fawkes, who had been detected in the act of setting a match to a train which would end in blowing three or four hundred unoffending human beings into the air. I have, too, seen counsel, in cases where the result of the conviction of their client would only subject the party to a fine of a few pounds, as vehement in their ge.-dirilla tion, and as fervid in their eloquence as if his life had been at stake. Mr. Brougham was not a man of this kind. Thera was in all such cases a coldness in his manner and a lan | guar in his eye which plainly showed, notwith | standing that lie would now and then make jan effort to rouse himself, that his spirit was j not in the task lie had undertaken. He was like the schoolboy, who has certain exercises which he knows he must go through, however reluctantly, and he accordingly does get thro’ them the best way lie can. To cases of an unimportant kind he never could apply his | mind. How striking the contrast when he ! appeared in ail important case, especially if it was one involving any great principle of civil or religious liberty! On such occasions Brougham far exceeded, in the talent and en ergy lie displayed, any man who has practised at the bar for the last quarter of a century. Ho usually rose in a calm and collected man ner, enunciated a few sentences in a subdued tone, expressive of the sense lie entertained of the importance of the task lie had under taken, and solicited the indulgence of the ju ry, while he trespassed on their attention for a short time. He then proceeded, in slow ac cents and in measured sentences, to dcvelopc the generalities of the case, gradually rising in animation of manner and increasing in the loudness of his voice and the rapidity of his utterance, until he arrived at the most import ant part of liis subject. The first indication he usually gave ot having reached those points in his speech to w hich he meant to ap ply all the energies of his mind, was that of pulling his gown further up on his shoulders, and putting his tall gaunt figure into as erect and commanding a posture as he could as sume without endangering his equilibrium. Then came his vehement gesticulation, the rapid movement of his right arm, with an oc casional wullurc of the left hand, and the turn ing and twisting of his body into every varie ty of form. Ilk; eye, which before was desti tute of fire, and his features, which were com posed and placid as those of a marble statue, were now pressed as auxiliaries into the serv ice of his client. His eye flashed with the fire of one whose bosom heaved with tumultu ous emotion;;, and the whole expression of his face w as that of a man whose mind was work ed up to the utmost intensity of feeling. And thisjvas really the case with Brougham, w her ever the interests of his client were identified witli some great principle. 11 is principles, un like those of barristers in general, were really a part of his nature. In vindicating or as serting them, therefore, in the person of his client, lie was, in point of fact, repelling some outrage, which had been offered to himself. The military Duke of Cumberland, When at the head of the army in Germany, he was particularly struck with the ability and valor displayed by a sergeant belonging to his own regiment. Having often noticed his gal lantry, and made inquiries into the private character of the man, his Royal Highness took occasion, on an exploit performed by him, to give him a lieutenancy. Some time after wards, this person so favored, entreated his Royal patron to take back the commission, and restore him to his former station. Surprised at so extraordinary a request, the Duke de manded the reason, and was told by the appli cant that he was now separated from his old companions by his elevation, and could not gain admittance into the society of his broth er officers, who considered themselves as de graded by his appointment. “Oh! is that the case?” said the Prince; “let the matter rest, and I will soon find a way to give you satis faction.” The next morning his Royal High ness went on parade, where he was received by a circle of officers. While in conversa tion, ho perceived the lieutenant walking by himsclf. On this the duke said, “Pray gen tlemen, what has that officer done that lie should be drummed out of your coun cils?” Without deigning to wait for an answer, ho went up and took the lieutenant by the arm, and in that posture of familiarity walked up and down the lines, followed with all humility by the whole staff, much to their 1 own mortification, and the amusement of the privates. When flic parade was over, Lord Ligonier respectfully requested his Royal , Highness would honor the mess with his : presence that day. “Willi ail my heart,” re plied the Duke, “provided I bring my friend j with me.” 11 is lord; hip bowed and said, “J hope so.” After this, no one presumed to I treat the duke’s friend wiiii contempt, but on the contrary, all seemed eager to seek bis ac quaintance. He rose to the rank of General; and wit!i more gratitude than taste, erected the gilded equestrian statue of his patron which stands in Cavendish Square. [London Paper. A singular Adventure. Once upon a j time a traveller slept into a post coach. He j was a young Minn, just starting in life. lie ■ found six passengers about him, all of them 1 "-ray headed aml extremely ngcil men. The j youngest appeared to have .-eon at least eigh ty winters. Our young traveller was struck j with the mild and singularly happy aspect ! which distinguished nil his fellow passengers, 1 uic! determined to ascertain the seen * of long file ami the art of making old age comfortable. He first, addressed the one who was apparent ly the oldest, who told him tint he had al ' ways led a regular and abstemious life, eating vegetables and drinking water. The young I man was rather daunted at this, inasmuch as ; he liked the good things of this life. He ad dressed the second, who astounded him by ! saying, that he had always cat roast beef and ; gone to bed regularly fuddled for seventy years —adding that all depended on regularity. — The third had prolonged bio days by never seeking or accepting office—.the fourth by res olutely abstaining from political and religious controversies, and the fflh by going to bed at sunset and rising at dawn. The sirth was ap parently much younger than the other five— his hair was less gray and there was more of it—a placid smile denoting a jicrfectly ea3y conscience mantled his face, and his voice was jocund and strong. They were all surprised to learn that he was by ten years the oldest man in the coach. “How,” exclaimed our young traveller, “how is it that you have thus preserved the freshness of life—where there is one wrinkle on your brow, there arc fifty on that of each and every of your juniors—tell me, I pray, your secret of long life!” “It is no great mystery,” said th n old man, “1 have drunk water and l have drunk wine—l have ate meat and vegetables—l have held public offices —I have dabbled in politics and written religious pamphlets—l have sometimes gone tp bed at sunset and sometimes at* midnight, got up at sunrise and at noon—Qbr’but I al ways PAID PROMPTLY FOR MY NEWSPAPERS!’ [Craftsman. A beatiful Anecdote. Curran, the cel ebrated Irish barrister, used to relate that he owed his education, to a benevolent individual who was a perfect stranger to him. When a hoy, said he, I was one morning playing at marbles in the village ball-alley, with a light heart and a lighter pocket. The jibe and the jest went gaily round, when suddenly amongst us appeared a stranger, of a very remarkable and very cheerful aspect; his intrusion was not tiic least restraint upon our merry little as semblage. He was a benevolent creature, and the days of infancy (after all, the happiest we shall ever see,) rose upon his memory. God bless him! I see his fine form, at the distance half a century, just as he stood before mein the little ball-alley in the days of my child hood. Ilis name was Bcysc; he was the Rec tor of Newmarket. To me ho took a particu lar fancy. Some sweetmeats easily bribed me home with him. I learned from poor Boyse my alphabet and my grammar, and the rudi ments of the classics. He taught me all lie could, and then sent me to school at Middle ton. In short lie made a man of me. I recol lect it was about five and thirty years after wards, when I had risen to some eminence at the bar, and when I had a scat in Parliament, on my return one day from Court, I found an old gentleman seated alone in my drawing room; his feet familiarly placed on each side of the Italian chimney-piece, his whole air bespeaking the consciousncsss of one quite at home. lle turned around—it was my friend of the ball-alley. I rushed instinctively into his arms, and burst into tears. Words cannot describe the scene which followed. “You arc right, sir; you are right, sir; you are right. The chimney-piece is yours—the pictures are yours—the house is yours—You gave me all I have—my friend—my father—my benefac tor!” He dined with me: and in the evening, I caught the tear glistening in his fine blue eye, when ho saw the poor little Jack, the creature of his bounty, rising in the House of Commons to reply to u right Honorable. Quack Medicines. The advertisements of various quack medicines which are now in vogue, are well hit off in the following ex tract from a puff in a late Cincinnati paper: “One single pill, worn in each pocket, will in stantly give ease and elasticity to the tightest pantaloons. A like quantity will create an appetite in the most delicate stomach, or phys ic a horse. They trill also be found to give rich flavor to apple dumplings, and a peculiar zest to pickled oysters; they will thicken soup, reduce corpulent persons, and are excellent hait for mouse imps. One pill dissolved in a bucket of rain water, will be found a perfectly water-proof lining for canal embankments; placed in steamboat boilers, they will effectu ally prevent their bursting, and greatly in crease the speed of the boats. As for their medicinal qualities, they are justly entitled to be called ‘■■.Medimmcnlwn Gracia P rub atm. m,” id. < si, n remedy approved by grace—for they effectually cool St. Anthony’s Fire, and stop St. Vitus's Dance; they purify the pimples in the small pox, and radiate the red gum in teething; they reduce while swellings, and cure the black jaundice, blue devils, yellow, scarlet,-or any other colored fevers; they cure 1 also the thrash in children and the pip in hens,! the staggers in horses and the nightmare in j owls. But further enumeration is unnecessary; suffice it to say, that this medicine is a com bination upon now principles, discovered by the present proprietor’s immortal grandmother, j and are an exception to all the rules of sci ence, common sense and experience, so that while they are the most powerful agent in na ture, revolutionizing the whole animal econo my, and eradicating the most incurable disea ses, they arc at the same time a perfectly in nocent preparation, and may be taken with en tire safety by tiie nursing infant—all powerful, all harmless!'’ N. B. It is confidently believed, t! .at one of the above pills, placed in the vault of every bank in the country, would cause an immedi ate resumption of specie payments. The Pleasure of Planting. You can have no idea of the exquisite delight of a plan ter; lie is like a painter lyingon iiis colors —at every moment he sees his effects coming on. There is no art or occupation comparable to this; it is full of past, present, and future en joyment. I look back to the time when there was not a tree here, only bare heath; I look round and see thousands of trees growing up, all of which I may say, almost each of wliich, NUMBER 35. have received my personal attention. I re member five years ago looking forward, with she most delighted expectation, to this very hour, and as each year has passed, the ex pectation has gone on increasing. I do the same now; I anticipate what this plantation and that one will presently bo, if only taken care of, and there is not a spot of which Ido not watch the progress. Unlike building, or even painting, or indeed any other kind of pursuit, this has no end, and is never interrupt ed, but goes on from day to day, from year to year, with a perpetually augmenting interest Farming I hate. What have Ito do with fat tening and killing beasts, or raising com only to cut it down, and to bo constantly at the mercy of the scasoas? There can be no such disappointments or annoyances in planting trees. [Life of Sir Walter Scott Molly Pitcher. We find in the New Brunswick (N. J.) Times, an interesting ac count of this courageous woman, and of her daring exploits during the revolutionary war. At the commencement of the battle of Mon mouth, she contributed her aid by carrying water from a spring to a battery, where her husband was employed, as cannonier, in load ing and firing a heavy piece of artillery. He was at length shot dead in her presence, as she was leaving the spring—whereupon she flew to the spot, found her husband lifeless, and at the moment, heard an officer, who rode up, order off the gun “for want of a man suffi ciently dauntless to supply his place.” Indig nant at this order, and stung by the remark, she promptly opposed it —demanded the post of her slain husband, to avenge his death— flew to the gun, and, to the admiration and as tonishment of all who saw her, assumed and ably discharged the duties of the thus vacated post of cannonier, to the end of the battle!— For this sterling demonstration of genuine Whig spirit, Washington gave her a Lieuten ant’s commission upon the spot, which Con gress afterwards ratified, and granted her a sword, and ar. epaulette, and half pay, as a Lieutenant for life! She wore the epaulette, received the pay, and was called “Captain Molly” ever afterwards. Anew Specimen of Yankee Ingenui ty. A gentleman residing at Troy, a frontier town in Vermont, writes his friend in Boston: “A curious method has been adopted to smug gle arms into Canada, for the use of the patriots. It is well known that a number of girls from the northern section of Vermont, os well as the contiguous part of Lo wer Canada,find em ployment in the factories at Lowell. Mass. It lias sometimes been the case, when a death has occurred amongst their number, that the body has been sent to the friends of the de ceased for burial. During the past summer it was observed that an unusual number of cof fins had passed along, frequently accompanied by mourners. Two or three had sometimes passed at a time, which occasioned reports that some terrible malady was raging at Low ell. Since the present difficulties occurred in Canada, someone, having the fear of her Maj esty before his eyes, suspected that these cof fins contained other arms than those of a fe male corpse, and lie assumed the responsibility of opening one, when, behold, rifles, guns, pistols, and swords, “ looking daggers” at him, ns a voice seemed to thunder in liis ear “ shut pan!” and lie fled for protection behind the bayonets of British soldiers. “Them Sassinger.?.”—We are told in the New Haven Herald that a person took a sau sage to the editor for examination of its im proved feature, a part of which the purchaser I liad been in vain attempting to eatfor his break fast. On duo examination it was found that | the principal ingredient in their fabrication j was brown paper! This is almost equal to I red flannel and ’tutors.— When will Yankee j ingenuity have an end ?— Another part of the i joke is that they were bought at a shilling(l6 1-3 cents) a pound, as very superior. It ap pears to us that this kind of sausages at least ought to be sold “at the old price.” The manufacture of iron promises to become one of the most important resources of Penn sylvania. The Clearfield Banner states, that the Furnace erected by Peter Ritner, Esq., at Kathaus, to manufacture iron by coke, has gone into successful operation. The manu facture of iron with coke is represented as be ing done with great saving of expense ; but we understand it 'is intended to manufacture iron from the bituminons coal without cooking* at Farransville, at still less expense. Should this experiment prove successful, it must su persede the coking process. A man seeing an oyster vender pan by, called out, “ Give me a pound of oytera.” sell oysters by measure, not by weight,” repli ed the other. “Well,” said be, “give me $ yard of than.”
