FLOWERS.
Sweet flowers! how much they brighten earth.
How glad they make oar way!
They gem the ground so variedly,
With all their fair array—
They speak with lips of eloquence
Of His majestic power,
Whoever stoops to show his skill
In penciling a flower!
Bright flowers! so pure and innocent
Their forms to ns are given;
I often wonder if they bud
Within the bower of Heaven.
For oh ! if they are lovely heir.
Where storms and tempests rise.
What must they be, when blossoming,
I Tnfaded in tlie skies!
There they would never droop their heads.
Or ceaso their scented breath;
Their tender veins would not bo chilled
Beneath the frosts of death.
An immortality of bloom
Would to tlieir brows be given,
The faintest rose-tint could not fade—
There is rut death in Ilea ten !

"I the important doctrines contained in
some leading case, so ns they may be
furnished with plenty of law, both new
and old, when they enter the nrenn where
jusliie is not trampled under foot, hut
judiciously administered, might perhaps
result Ix'iiiTieiully. The facts of the case
are as followsA. B. traded horses
with C. D., eras dash. It afterwards ap
peared that the former had got “badly
tuck in” in the trade, (or lie had “the
tariff laid on him” in the shape of a horse
blind in one eye. Here was a wrong fir
which there must lie a remedy, and to
learn what was this remedy, A. R., as a
matter nf course seeks out a Justice of
the Peace who would give him the “law
knowledge.” The Squire of the Peace
put on his spectacles, nnd with much
gravity, proceeded to examine the “Geor
gy Juslico.” nnd afterwards reported to
A. U„ the plaintiff, that he could not find
any law that would “exactly fit the case,”
but he had no doubt there was plenty of
law for it in “ Chittie’s Pleadons” which
he would borrow from n lawyer, examine
and give him an opinion. Before the
next return day lie had satisfied himself
from n perusal of “Chittie’s Pleudcns”
that there was “ ’bundancc of law to fit
the case,” and so informed the plaintiff.
Ho then advised the plaintiff “ to fetch an
action in debt” against C. D., the defen
dant, lor the value of the horses’ eye,
which he would always say was worth at
least as high as a Justice Court could
fetch suit for, to wit: thirty dollars
principal, and there wan’t a lawyer io
the country could change his opinion, and
withal lie said be was jes the roan for
these little upstart lawyers. They make
a great fuss about “Black’s Commissa
ries” und the “Slatits of Jeophilos,” and
don't know the first principles of the Con
stitution. The Constitution was good
enough for any man; if it war*nt, then no
man need have a case in Justices Coart.
If the Constitution don’t lit the case ex
actly, the “Georgia Justice” would be
mighty apt to do it, and if these failed he
knew “Chit tens Plcadens" would pin the
haslcrt. If these little lawyers didn’t fob
lew the law 'eordin to his notion he would
•hot’em up in the beginning of the suit, for
they slwnys go for law and lies, and it
was Vmst his principles to go Jbr any
thing but jestiee and Emupsitu. As direct

Mimms, in Baldwin county, Ala., a most
sanguinary battle, and full of romantic in
cident.
According to the Washington corres
pondent of tho Journal of Commerce,
Red Eagle was a Creek and a half breed.
His father was a Scotchman named
Wem ofsight MO yc»rs, but the stem man-
he went by name of Weatherford. Red I „ r ?’L.,„„_„ c.™.t

the Indian army, and exhibited all the
sanguinary ferocity of a madman, sparing
none, and drenching his arms in blood
wherever he went. From the dale
of this liattle he commanded the'entire
Creek army, and fought in all the battle
fields of Alabama. The opening and
closing scenes of battle were in strange
contrast. The battle of the Horse-Shoe
terminated the contest. Of twelve hun
dred warriors not more than twenty escap
ed, and nearly 600 were left d?2d on the
field. This was an awful retaliation.—
During the war, four thousand Indians
were killed. It is a little surprising that
though great inducements were offered
by our army under command of General
Jackson, for the capture of Red Eagle, he
always contrived to csctqic detection;
and when at last taken, he Imd voluntari
ly and alone entered he camp of the com.
mander to ask for peace. His speech
on that occasion was one of the most elo
quent io the history of oratory—no mat
ter what nation we refer to. There is
not a trope or metaphor in the whole of it
—it is all one bold aud fervid burst of
feeling, in which arc uppermost sentiments
of the purest patriotism, nf noble inde
pendence, ami a deep love of his people.
“Once,” remarked Red Eagle, “I
could animate my warriors to the battle.
But I cannot nnimnle the dead. My
warriors no longer hear my voice. Their
bones are at Talladega, Tallalchce, Eih-
ukfaw and Tohopcka

CORN BREAD.
Sotceliody has sent the editor of the
London Times, a specimen of com bread.
The Times-man examines it very criti
cally, tastes of it, and then states that al
though it is very sallow in its complexion,
it is extremely light, and of good quality
and flavor; and if not equal to the very
best bread, infinitely superior to such
“ manufactured from the damaged wheal
of the late harvest.” Henceforth, wc
hope that com bread will figure conspicu
ously among the eatables nf the English
people, endorsed as it is by the greatest
papei of the kingdom. Heretofore, it has
been the policy of the agriculturist of that
country to represent Indian com as unfit
for human food and only (o bo used in
fattening bogs. The laboring classes be
lieve it implicitly, and probably do yet;
and while they are regaling themselves
upon the luxuries of oat meal, they shed
a tear sympathetically over the vciy
thought of eating wholesome corn bread.
Plenty to eat is one of the liberal princi
ples of this country, and as our principles
are prrwressive, we have, no doubt, that
well filled capons will keep peace with
other republican notions, and - that corn
bread and equal rights will advance in
England side by side. The improvement

ital of the conflict, where proud self- con
fidence on the one hand, and desperation
on the other, inspired tho battle.

hundred nnd fifty thousand inhabitants,
enclosed in a very narrow space, ond is
one of the most densely populated cities
in the world. There was nn average ol
forty inhabitants to each house. One
house wns occupied by four hundred ten-
nuts, and yielded an annual rental of thir
ty thousand dollars. Such was the city
before which Napoleon plnntcd his terri
ble batteries, ond upon which for ten hours
lie rained down a shower of bomb shells
at the rate of five a minute. It was not
easy to imagine, and it is impossible to
describe, the terrors of this night. Amid
the rush und the uproar of contending ar
mies. there was nn incessant explosion of
artillery keeping up one continuous roar,
louder than heaven’s loudest ihundcts.
The midnight sky was streaked with the
fiery glare of bomb shells, falling upon
every part of the city, breaking through
the roofs of the houses, exploding at the
fireside, where terrified mothers and chil
dren were gathered together, and even
in the very cradle of the icfnnt, nnd bury
ing mangled families in the ruins of their
own dwellings. Conflagrations were
bursting forth in every quartet. Dismay
and death were everywhere. The shouts
of the combatants, the shrieks of the terri
fied, the groans of the dying, the mangled
corpses sire wed over the slrcets and thro’
the dwellings, the explosions of artillery,
the glare of bombs and red-hot balls, anil
tho wasting conflagrations, conspired to
create a scene which has had bat few
parallels, even in this warring world.
The young I’riocess Maria Louisa, the
iubsequent bride of Napoleon, wns at that
time sick in the imperial palace, and in
capable of being removed to a place of
safety. Tho palace was directly oppo
site the French batteries. “It wns,” says
Allison, “by the thunders ofarlillciy, and
the flaming light of bombs across the sky
that Napoleon’s first nddresscs to the
Archduchess Maria Louisa were made.”
Such were the characteristic billet damx
with which the conqueror of Enrof e woo
ed his bride. Napoleon being informed
of the dangerous siiunliu;: or the noble
captive, ordered the direction of the pieces
to lie changed.' Thus, while destruction
and death were rained down upon every
part of the city, the future Empress of
France reposed upon her sick bed, secur
ed and anfiarmcd. Napoleon soon silenc
ed all opposition, and taking possession,
with his victorious troops, of the riddled
and blazing city, sought repose from big
own fatigue, in the magnificent chambers
of the Austrian Emperor.. The emperor
of Aturria; and tm'sppuse had foflld safe-.
noxious to have the English (!) come and
settle among them. Tilts testimony, par
ticularly that of Harry, settles the fate of
the people nnd country in question.—
John’s Christian benevolence is all on fire.
Bishops preach—tho hearts of praying
women are opened, and some admiral is
despatched to pick a quarrel with tho dis
tant cannibals, for a ouarrcl is absolotely
necessary to justify tuc first step in the
process of annexation. A few months roll
away, and suddenly il is announced
ill rough the English press that Admiral
Lord Carbuncle, commanding II. M, ship
Warwhip, while on a cruise in Australia,-
touched at the island of Tout! for wood
and water; that while taking in those ar
ticles a British snilor was murdered by a
party of the natives; whereupon liis lord-
ship demanded that .the murderers lie
immediately given up, which demand not
being complied with, tho town of Pekco
was bombarded, and a landing effected,
See., &c. Parliament immediately sane-'
tions the whole proceeding, sends out a
j few troops to keep possession of the Island
and enters it on Tier records as ono ofher
Australian appendages. To secure tho
approbation of the world, and as if to cheat
heaven into a belief of her good intentions,
a missionary is despatched In' the new
colony, nnd under a pretence of civilizing
and christianizing the natives, a war of
extermination is commenced, which only
ends with the life of the Inst remaining
aboriginal. This is John Bull’s mode of
nnnncxation, and tho whole details may bo
found by referring to the article already
pointed out. — , , ,
We wish every peace orator, oil sympa
thetic, universally licnevolcnl females,
and the whole catalogue of believers in
English philanthropy would read the nr-
iticle. Il will show them that annexation
is practised elsewhere besides in the Uni
ted States. It will do more—it will con
vince them, if any thing can do so, of
the systematic hypocrisy of England in
pretending, as a nationj to great piety,
while she is annihilating whole nations on
the opposite side of the globe, for no rea
son or, earth, except there arc lands there’
in the peaceful possession of others which,
in Iter rapacity, she wishes to make her
own. But what is most humiliatiag is
the fact that among us arc men ond state-
men everlastingly shouting the praises or
England, notwithstanding this same Eng
land is cyery yeaf enroaching on the rights
and territory of others, who only know
her through her acts of oppression and
bloodshed. If this were confined to be
nevolent old ladies and one idea fanatics,
if would hardly be worth notice; but
when those who make our laws nnd give
tone to public sentiment join in the mock
ery and adulation, we feci humbled arid'
degraded in the eyes of the rest of tho
world. To our readers we say, peruse
the article on N. Zealand in the last num
ber of the Westminster Review.
Since the above wus in type our cy®
lias glanced upou the following paragraph
in the London Examiner or April 4th, rel
ative to the contest with the Sikhs, which
vcriGcs our remarks fully ;
. “A® lo .® r Henry Hnnlinge’s modera
tion, it will create a smile on the lips of
all those acquainted with onr gnidonl and
covert mode of absorbing Indian princes
having'tasted “Johnny ctAc."—Tropic, jty hy flightinto thewilds of Hungary
and empires, allying with them one day,
protecting them the next, merely fot' the
purpose of swallowing them with more
facility the third. In fact, Indian princes
pass through three processes in our po-
littcal mill ere they arc completely and
definitc.y ground to powder. . Dulccp
Mngh is now only goifig through the first
«]ucczo, poor little fellow ; but he is not
Vneless between the millstones. Sir Hen
ry Hardinge does his spiriting gently ns
Sir Charles Napier did the sartiC roughly.
Y et we will be bound to say that tho treat
ment ol the two will come to pretty much
tbe samc rcsolt in liinc.” ■ -
