TI1E SPAllTAN MARCH.
The Spartaus used not the trumpet ip their
march to battle, says Thucydides, because they
wished'nut to excite the rage of their warriors.
1’lieir charge was made to the sound of the Do
rian flute and soft recorders. The valor of a
Spartan was too highly tempered-' to require a
stunning or a rousing iinpulso. Ilis spirit vstu,
like his steed, too proud for a spur.
’Ttvas morn upon the Grecian hills,
Where peasants dressed their vines;
Suqlightwai on Cithteron’s rills,
Arcadia's rocks and pines.
And brightly through his reeds and flowers
Eurotits wandered by;
When a sound arose from Sparta’s towers,'
Of solemn harmony.
Was it the hunter’s choral strain,
To the woodland goddess pour'd?
Din virgin haud3 tit Pallas’ fano ' • ;
Strike the fall sounding chord ?
But helms were glancing on the stream,
Spears ranged in close array;
And shields flung back a glorious beam
To the morn of fearful day.
The mountain echoos of the land,
Swelled through the deep blue sky;
While, in soft strains, moved forth a band
Of men who moved to die.
They march’d not with, the trumpet’s blast,
Nor bade the horn (teal out:
And tho laurel groves, as ou they pass’d
. Rung with no battle shout.
They wished no clarion’s voice to firo
Their soul9 with iinpulso high ;
But the Dorian reed aud tho Spartan lyro,
For tlie sons of liberty.
And still sweet flutes, their path around,
Sent forth iEoliau. breath,
They needed not a sterner sound ?
To marshal them for deuth* ...
So moved they calmly to tho field, ., _ . ’'
Thence never fo return,
Save hearing hack tin: Spartan shield,
Or on it proudly borne. ,

Calvin Edson, the living skeleton, is at present
exhibiting his “raw beau and bloody^ bones” in
this city. An arrow and tho hour glass—and the
figure would be cottapleto. It looks for all tho
world as if tho ’atomy of some dissecting room
had taken it iuto his bead to travel, and loft his
appropriate functions to be discharged by proxy;
By the way, we heard n good mol of Edson
the other day, or rather ono of which ho wits tiio
occasion. . A gentleman was questioning him a-
bout bis visit to Europe, nud, nuioiig other
things, remarked to him, “You did not tell the
Loudonors that you fought against them during
the last war?” “Yes, I did,” said Edson, “I tohl
them that wo drove thorn well.” “And what did
they say to that?" “Why, thoy made mo a pret
ty good answer. One of them, says lie, “well,

Old Storace (the father of the celebrated com
poser) had nearly lost all his teoth at rather an
early period of his life. This to one who was de
cidedly a high liver, was a great annoyance. A
dentist of emincuco undertook to supply the de
fect! lie drew thu few teeth which remained and
fitted the pi/Jent with an entire tlow set, which
acted by means of springs, aud were removable
at pleasure. Tho operation was so skilfully per-
formud, aud the resemblance so good, that Storace
flattoru! himself tbaf jio one could discover tho
deception. Being oue dayjn company with Fos
ter (a performer iu the Drury Lane orchestra, aud
one celebrated among his companions for qiuiint-
ness and hifinour,) ho said, “Foster, I’ll show
you fomething you never could Imvo guessed.”
So saying, Jie took out tho ivory teeth am! ex
claimed in triumph, -‘there, what do you thiitk
of that?” ' “Poh! nonsense! surprise ine,” re
ified Foster, “ I knew perfectly well they were
also." “How the devil could y on U.ioW that?”
said Storace. “Why," rejoined Foster, “I never
knew anything (rue come out of smite mouth!"
Curran.—Four times was the intrepid spirit of
Curran Jared to the field in a duel; but even
there he could not refrain from indulging, his
wonted humor. Oil one of these occasions, when
bo fought Mr. St. Lcgcr, the other demanding
which was to fire first, Curran answered, “that
he came as a guest merely—it Was for St.-Legi
liimself to open the ball j since he gave the iuvita
tioil.” Next, seeing that Jit. Leg'er presented tho
pistol wide of the mark, Curran gave hini tho
word of command to fire, which tho other obeyed
without any mischief of course, when Curran (fis
charging his pistol iu tho air, the affair emied
Another duel which lie had with the Lord Chan
cellor Clare was equally unproductive of incident.'
For, as he Used to tell the story himself, “ though
liutb the combatants discharged two very long
cases of pbtols at each other, neither of them were
killed, wounded, satisfied, crfi'ccoiicilud; nor did
either qf tlicm wish to prolong the engagement.”
In his last illness, his physician having remarked
early one morning that be coughed with'munch
difficulty—‘‘That is rather .urprisiug,” nnswered
Curran, “since I havebceu practising all night.”
And not long before, having received a slight apo
plectic shock, und his physician idling him not
to mind it, it would pass away—■'“•I am to under
stand it then,” said Curran, “outyas a boyish
runaway knock at the door, eh?"
However familiarized wo may be with the
geueral result*, it is impossible to reflect upon tho
growth and prosperity of tho several .‘states lying
iu the valley ol tho Missfe/uppi, as compared with
tlie other section*of the Union, without istMish-
ment. The mureh of empire ir certainly west
ward; and we are confident that we indulge iu
no extravagance in saying, that within half acen-
tury the metropolis of the Union will be on the
banks of tho Ohio. We have been led to theso
reflections by an examination of the last census;

The Water Witch.—Wo were present on Mon
day evening nt tho Tretnout, ami Witnessed with
extreme satisfaction the first appearanco'of the
Water Witch. With those play-gocri wito nro
most pleased with tint class of performances
whose chief merit-consists in action, this play will
be an especial favorite. Tlie dialoguo is of but
minor importance, and barely serve* to connoct
together its astounding incidents, skirmidp-s, es
capes, battles and deaths. Never before did we
hear such an uproar of artillery, rHjtlo of musket
ry, and cracking of pistols, with the excepliou
perhaps of the last great militia field day ou tin
common. The bottle scene at night between tho
English and French frigates, in which thu “Skim
mer” aud his picaroons took an active mil most
clamorous shire, was especially awful, deife niug,
and suffoctuior. The whole ordnance depart
ment of the Theatre seems to have been called
into requisition for tlie occasion, from tho big
swivel down to tlie vnricet popgun of the drama.
First, tlie big guns on the deck ol the Eng Li:
frigate opened their clamorous throats, and rent
tho theatrical welkin with, their noise. Thcu
cutno the marines with their msskets, ambitions
for glory nod thirsting lor carnage; and finally
in the; very van of the battle wars transpicuous

this action, litfle was seen of the stage, as tho
smoke of battle persisted in resting upon it; hiv

Tho actors, however, completed their task #i
reasonable propriety, considering the sliding at-
mosphoro that surroundod them.
Wo were promised in tho hills a grand explo
sion of the ship at'tho termination of the battle
scene. Whether litis took place or uot wo arc
unable to say, hut nothing lc»* than hlowiug up
the wjtolestage would hive been uoticoahlc after
the general confusion of tho bitlic itvclf. None- on our

A Military Hunting Excursion.—“In the for

deer, wild hofirs, wolves and foxes. To that
forest wo madu several excursions, taking with
us some of our best marksmen, mid sleeping tho
night before hi the small walled town of Uuguiia,
which is ou tho borders of tho forest. Several
fine red deer were killed, one of which, a very
largo :tig, 1 was so fortunate as to bring down
with a bid. Although neither wolves nor wild

some shots at them. 1 looK tuck .on those excur

Below, wo present a cony of the reply of La
fayette to the totter from the corps of Cadets ac
companying their contributions to tho Poles. It
is like all that proceeds from the pen of that groat
and good man, wonderfully known, that iu wri

ways uses their language; so that the following
letter is just as ho wrote it:
Copy of a Utter from General Lafayette to th*
Corps of Cadets, dated
Paris, Nor. 9tb, 1831.
My Dear Yopng Friends:—While every op
portunity cheers my heart w ith new testimonies
ol what you call filial atlectiou, it is on my part
with patriotic pridb ami fraternal love that I have
received your donation in behalf of heroic and
now unhappy Poland.
Sad news from that illustrious part of Europe
will have reached you not long ufteryour sympa
thetic letter was ou its way to us. But it is now
more than over, that tiie vanquished, although not
subdued I’olcs, ate in need of tricndly assistance;
thousands of them had rather perish on a foriigu
land, than acknowledge their patriotism as guilt,
und submit to the yoke of a Russian despot. In
no Instance, uot even during the struggle, could
he sc well employed, thu contribution* of the
friends of true glory; that, which is founded on
tlie basis of independence und freedom.
An American committee lias ut my request
been formed at Paris, to assist in discharging tho.
duty conferred upon them by donors iu the V. 8,-
We keep up an understanding with the National
Polish committee that has lately been formed in
i
this city, aud with the French committee, ia order
that the distribution be us judicious ns possible.
It is from rite mmiumeftt w hich your ptedeees-
pirs had raised to Kosciusko on your classical
ground of Wcslpoint, that the first successor* of
his countrymen have crossed the Atlantic, let us
hope for lite day wbyu ou that same toouuiucut
the resurrection of Polimd shall be celebrated.
Receive, my dear young friends, the parental
affection and blessing of tile American veteran,
