THE OLD CLOCK ON THE STAIRS.
BY a. W. LONGFELLOW.
“L’etern ite est un pendule, dont lebalancier dit et
redit sans cesse ces deux mots seulemeut, dans !e
silence des toinbeaux. ‘Tonjours! jamais! Janra
is ! tonjours !”—[Jacques Bridainc,
Somewhat back from the village street
Stands the old fashioned country seat,
Across its antique portico
Tall poplar trees their shadows throw ;
And from its station in the hall
An ancient time-piece says to all,—
Forever —never !
Never—forever !*’
Halfway up she stairs it stands,
And points and beckons with Us lifendej
From its case of massive oak.
I.ike a monk, who under
Crosses himself, and sighs, alas!
With sorrowful voice to all who pass.—
“Forever—never !
Never—forever? *
By day its voice is low and light
But m I lit silent dead of night,
Distinct as a passing footstep’s fall
It echoes aioug the vacant hall.
Along the ceiung, along the floor.
And seems to say at each chamber door,
“Forever—never !
Never—forever 1”
In that mansion used to be
Free hearted Hospitality ;
Hts great fires up the chimney roared,
‘I he stranger feasted at his board ;
Bui like the skeleton at the feast,
That warning time-piece never ceased,—
*• Forever — never !
Never—forever!
There groups of merry children played,
There youth and maidens dreaming strayed,
Oh, precious hours ! O, golden prime
And affluence ofiove and time 1
Even as a miser counts his gold.
Those hours the ancient time-piece told,—
“Forever —never !
Never—forever!”
From that chamber, clothed In white,
The bride came forth on her weddmg night,
There, in that eilent room below,
The dead lay in Ins shroud of snow ;
And in the hush that followed the prayer
Was heaid the old clock, on ihe stair,—
•■Forever—never. I
Never—forever !**
All are scattered now and fled,
Some are married, some are dead ;
And when 1 ask, with throbs of pain;
“Ah, when shftll they ail meet again
As in the davs, long since gone by,”
The ancient time piece ntake3 reply,—
“ Forever—never!
Never—forever !’*
Never here, forever there,
Where all parting, pain and care,
And death, and time shall disappear,—
Forever there, but never here 1
The horologe of Eternity
Bayeth this incessantly,—
“Forever—never !
Never—forever 1”

will be celebrated in Louisiana, by every
grateful and patriotic heart. It was a day
which covered the American arms with
glory, saved one ol the fairest cities on the
continent from spoliation, and the sisters,
wives and mothers of our people from the
rude assaults of brutal soldiery. We feel
(hat we could not better use our columns
on such a day, than by giving a brief sketch
of the battle—new, perhaps, to some of our
readers; iultiesting, we are convinced, to
all.
After the engagements on the 231 of De
cember, Gen. Jackson retired to the
side of the canal, the remains of which* a
half filled np ditch, slii! marks the position
of the battle ground. A bank was thrown
up, and batteries established at suitable in
tervals —the right.of the works resting upon
the levee, &. the left exlending some distance
in the swamp: The works were, in-roalltyv
from the haste with which they had been
thrown up, a slight and weak defence.—r
They were maimed on the right by th*r 7th
regiment, under the command of Maj. Peire,
by Piaucho’s and Lacoste’e battallions, by
Daqnin’s battallion of colored troops, and
the 44th regiment of the line—on the left by
Carroll’s and Coffee’s brigades of volunteers.
On the 2S(h < f December, and again on the
Ist of januarVj the enemy made assaults up
on the lines, but in both cases they were re
pulsed with severe loss. Iu the meantime
heavy guns and reinforcements iiad arrived
fur the British from their shipping, and a
considerable addition had been made to the
American strength, by the arrival of the
Kentucky troops and various detachments
of the militia from this State and Mississippi
but so poorly were these provided with arms,
that although they added to the numbers,
they brpugbt but little addition to the effective
strength.
We quote the language of General Ea
ton :
•‘The Bth of January at length arrived. The day
dawned; and the signals, intended to produce con
cert in the enemy’s movements, were descried. On
the left, near the* swamp, a sky-rocket was perceiv
ed rising in the air; and presently another ascended
from the right, next the river. They announced to
chch other, that alt was prepared and ready, to pro
ceed and carry by storm, a defence which had twice
Ibihied their uimost efforts. Instantly the charge
was made, and with such rapidity, that our soldiers,
at the o <t - posts, wiih difficulty fled in.
“The British batteries, which had been demolish
ed on the Ist of the month, had been re-established
during the preceding night; and heavy pieces of can
non mounted, to aid in their intended operations.—
These now opened and showers oi bombs and balls
were poured upon our line; while the air w s lighted
With their Congreve rockets. The two tiivi.-ions,
commanded by Sir Edward Pakenham in person,
and supported by Generals Keane and Gibbs, press
ed forward; the right against the centre of Gen. Car
roll’s command —the left against our redoubt on the
levee. A thick fbg, that obscured the morning, en
abled them to approuch within a short distance of
onr entrenchment, before they were discovereed.—
They were now perceived advancing, w*ith firm,
quick and steady pace, in column, With a front ol
sixty or seventy deep. Our troops, who had for
some tune,ben in readiness, & waiting their appear
ance, gave tliree cheers, and instantly the w*hole line
was lighted with the blaze of their fire. A burst of
artillery and small arms, pouring with destructive
aim upon them, mowed down their front, and arres
ted their advance. Jnour musketry, there was not
a moment’s intermission; as one party discharged
rtieir pieces, another succeeded; alternately loading
and appearing, no pause could be percefVed—it was
one continued volley. Tlie’cofutnns already per
ceived their dangerous and exposed situation. Bat
tery No. 7, on the left, was ably served by Lieut.
Spotts. and gall ed them with an ince: 3ani destruc
tive; fire. Butteries Nos. 6 and 8 were no less ac
tively employed, and ro less successful, in telling
them to the ground. Notwithstanding the severity
of our fire, which few troops could for a moment
have withstood, some of those brave men pressed on,
and succeded in gaining the ditch, in front of our
woiks, where they remained during the action, and
were aft* rwards made p-t-oners. The horror before,
them was too great to be withstood; and already they
were seen wavering in their determination, and re
ceding from the coiraict. At this moment, Sir Ed
ward P. keiiham, hastening to tlte front, endeavored
to encourage and inspire them with renewed zeai.—
His example was of short continuance; he soon fell,
mortally wounded, inthe arms of his aid-de-camp,
not far from oui line. General Gibbs and Keane al
so fell, and were borne from the field, dangerously
wounded. At this moment, Gen. Lambert, who was
advancing at a small distance in the rear, with the
reserve, met the columns precipitately retreating,,
and in great concision. His efforts to stop them
were -unavailing—they continued re treating until
they ‘reached a dilch, at the distance of four hundred
yards, where a momentary safely being found, they
were ra'lied, and halted.
“The field before them, over which they had ad
vanced, was strewed with the dead & dying. Danger
hovered still around; )c, urged and encouraged by
their officers, who feared their own disgrace involved
in the failure, they again moved to the charse.—,
They were already war enough to deploy, and were
endeavoring to do so; but the same constant and ‘un
remitted resistance, that, caused their first retreat,
continued yet unabated. Our batteries liad‘ never
ceased their fire; their constant discharges of grape
and ‘canister, and the fatal aifti of our musketiy,
mowed down the front of the columns, as fast as they
could be formed. Satisfied nothing could be
done, and that certain destruction awaited all further
attempts, they forsook the contest and the field in
disorder, leaving it almost entirely covered with the.
dead and wounded. It was in vain thtir officers en
deavored to animate them to further resistance, and
equally vain to attempt coercion. The panic pro
duced from the dreadful repulse they had experienc
ed: the plain, on which they had acted being Cover
ed with inirtrterahle bodies oft hair countrymen; while
with th< ir most zealous exertions, they had been un
able to obtain the slightest advantage, were circum
stances well calculated to make even the most sub
missive soldier oppose the authority that would have
controlled him.
‘•The light companies offusileers, the forty-tbird
ard ninety-third regiments, and one hundred men
from the West India regiment, led on by Col. Ren
nie, were ordered to proceed, under cover df some
chimneys, standing tn the field, until having cleared
them, to oblique to ihe river, and advance, protected
by the levee, against onr redoubt on the right. This
work, having been but lately commenced, was in an
unfinished s.ate. It was not iaptvl the 4th, that Gen.
Jackson, much agairst his own opinion, bad yielded
to the suggestions of others, and. its pro
jection; and, considering the plan on which it had
been sketched, had not yet received that strength
necessary 10 its safe deferred. The detachment, or
dered against this place, formed the lefthof General
Keane’s command. Rennie executed -bis orders
with great bravery; and, urging forward/ arrived at
the di’ch. His advance was greatly annoyed by
Com. Patterson’s bravery on the left bank, and the
cannon mounted on the redoubt; but, reaching cur
works, and passing the ditch Rennie, sword in hand
leaped on the wall, and calling to <hls troops, bade
them follow; he Jjad scarcely spoken, When he’fell,
by the fatal aim of our riflemen. Pressed by tbfc im
petuosity of superior numbers, who were mounting
the wait, and entering at the embrasures, our troops
had retired to the line, in rear of the redoubt. A
momentary pause ensued. Capt. Beal, with the
city fifletn*-tr, cod and self possessed, perceiving the
enemy in his front, opened upon them, and at every
discharge brought the object to ihe ground. To ad
vance, or maintain the point gained, was equally im
practicable for the enemy: to retreht or surrender
was the only alternative; for they already perceived
the division on the right thrown inro confusion, and
hastily leaving the field.
“Gen, Jackcon, being inforihed of the success of
the eneany on right, and of their being in possession
of the redoubt, pressed forward a reinforcement, to
regain it. Previously to its arrival, they had aban
doned the atiempt, and were retiring. They wsre
severely galled by such ol our guDg aa could be
brought to bear. The levee affotded them consider
able protection; yet, by Commodore Palterson’s re
doubt, oh the bank, ‘hey suffered greatly. Enfiladed
by this, on their advance, they had been greatly an
-no> ed, and now, in Weir retreat, were no less severe
ly assailed. Numbers found a grave >fi the ditch, be

not one; it is believed escaped ; —they were shot

When vye look through the centuries
which swfept over the world before the art of

proach to a calculation of the works on

thrown, which have been forever lost on ac

they were committed—-when we know that
the names of so many benefactors of onr race

whose glorious countenances are Veiled—
we sigh over the loss, and regret the tardy

thought,gives it a ‘‘local habitation,” and
leaves it as a generation’s most precious lega

absence of a cheap, durable and expeditious
vehicle for the transmission of thought, in the
early ages of the world, we may reap some
advantages. The difficulties under which
the elder writers struggled, affords us a no

ideas to a record, must have caused a deep
condensity of thought, mißUte circumspection

THE VETTURINI OF ITALY.
The Vetturini are a sort of private coach
proprietor and coachman, bound by no abso
lute law, either as to the direction of their
journeys or the time they make in performing
them. They abound in most of the large
Italian towns; and, as they are always on
the lookout for travellers, the stranger has
nodifficulty in discovering them. The man
ner in which life agreement is made and per
formed is peculiar. It is usually agreed be
tween the contracting parties ; first, on the
side of the Veiiurint, that he shall carry-you
tothe distinationyou require, within a certain
number of days, and that he provide you
upon the journey with dinner and bed, then,
on your side, that he shall be entitled to re
caive a certain sum at the end, and not the
.beginning of the journey. The only disad
vantage attending this method of travelling is
applieable alone to those who are in haste ;
for, as you do not change horsesduring the
journey, you cannot, usually, make above
thirty miles a day. But you h&ve the advan
tage of sleeping in bed at night, instead of
carriage as by diligence, and of avoiding the
imposition of innkeepers to whicn foreigners,
and especially the English, are too subject in
Italy, and, also of seeing the country to great
er advantage ; and add to this, that the ex
pense does not usually much exceed half
that by'mail poet. No manner of travelling,
in fact, can be more agreeable, when the
passengers happen to be in accord, and I
have neveT experienced any inconvenience
through any disagreement on the journey.
The custom of the Vetturini is to wait until
they have one or two applications, after which
the drivers or piopnetors exert themselves to
make ample number, to secure a cer
tain profit, at a price they can safely demand.
Some times the parties are brought together
by the Vetturini, and they come to an agree
ment as towbat they, wilt offer; and, as
custom hasJagfe its usual influence, a bar
gain is.ealßlfiwttade. At other limes the
parties do not know each other till they
meet; but every one ib certain that he
will not be alone. In this case, however,
there is this inconvenience* that every one
does not know what the others pay, and,
where the Vitturini are less civil and honest
than it has always been my good fortune to
find them, you may discover at the end of the
johrney, that you have to pay a dollar or tvVo
more than any one of your fellow uavellers.
A little trouble therefore, should be taken
about the matter ; or, perhaps, more correct
ly speaking, the traveller should spend an
hour or two in business that had otherwise
been less profitably occupied.
DEATH OP AN ARTIST.
Henry Inman, the painter, died at 18
o’clock; this day,* in the forty-fifth year of his
age. His health for some years past has
been far fronvgood, owing to a confirmed
asthma, but the disease which carried him
off, we are told, was an affection of the heart.
Inman was an artist of fine powers, prin
cipally exercised in the department of por
trait painting. He wrought with astonish
ing despatch and precision, with a peculiar
freedom and grace of pencil. Many of his
portraits are, in themselves; without refer
ence to their originals, delightful pictures.
Some occasional attempts in other depart
ments of his art, show that he Would have
risen to high excellence in these, it he had
made theiii the object of study. He was
exceedingly amiable in private life, and a
most delightful companion. You could not
be in his society a moment without perceiv
ing that you were in company with a man
of genius.
At the time of his death lie was President
ol the National Academy of the Arts of
Design, to which he was elected a year or
two since- —New York Post.
Who aims at excellence will b 8 above
mediocrity; who aims at mediocrity will fall
short of it.
Serenity of mind is nothing worth; un
less it has been earned; a man should be
susceptible of passions, and able to subdue
them.
DIPLOMATIC.
OREGON CORRESPONDENCE.
ABSTRACT OF documents ACCOMPANYING th
president’s message*
{ Correspondence of the Department of State.]
(R. t\)
Washington 29ih July 18-15.
Notwithstanding the prolix discussion whih
the subject has alveary undergone, the under
signed, her Britanic Majesty’s envoy extraor
dinary knd minister plenipotentiary, feels
obliged to place on record a few observations
in reply to the statement (marked J. B.)
which he had the honor to receive, on the 10th
of this month from the ham’s of the Secreta
ry of S*atc of the United States, terminating
with a proposition on the part of the United
States for the settlement of the Oregon ques-
Jn this paper it is stated, that “the title ot

?2d February, to.
States all her rights, cia...,
to any territories west of the Roc.., r
and north of the 42d parallel of lafiftni*..
‘‘We contend,” says the Secretary of Stated
“that at the date of this conventiou,f*nain had
a good title, as against Great Britain, to the
whole Oregon territory : and, if this be estab
lished, the question is then decided in favor
ofthe Uniten States,” the convention between
Great Britain and Spain signed at the Es
curial, on the 23th October, 1790, notwith
standing.
“If,” says the American plenipotentiary, “i t
should appear: hat this treaty was transient
in its very nature; that it conferred uport
Great Britain no right but tlmt of merely
trading with the Indians', whilst the country
should remain unsettled, and making the ne
cessary establishments for this purpose; t‘hat
it did not interfere with the ultimate sover
eignty of Spain overjhe territory; and. At- 4 -*-
all, that ft was by the war between
Spain and Great Britain, in 1796; and lit. 6
never sine# been renewed by the parties, then
the British claim to any portion of the ter
ritory will prove to be destitute of founda
tion.”
The undersigned will endeavor to 6how,
not only that when Spain concluded with
the United States the treaty of 1819, cOnj
monly called the Florida treaty, the conven
tion concluded between the from power
and Great Britain in 1799, was considered by
the parties to it to be still in force ; but even
that if no such treaty had everexisted, Great
Britain would stand, with reference to a Claim
to the Oregon territory, in a position at least
as favorable as the United States.
The treaty of 1790 is not appealed to by
the British Government, as the American
plenipotentiary seems to suppose, as their
“main reliance” in the pressent discussion ;
it is appealed to to show that by the treaty of
1819, by which “Spain ceded to the United
States, ai! her rights, claims and pretensions
to any territories west of the Rocky moun
tains. and north of the 42d® parallel of lati
tude,” the United States acquired no right to
exclusive dominion over any part ofthe Ore
gon territory. r
The treaty of 1790 embraced, in fact, a va
riety of objects, it partook in some ot its
stipulations‘6f the nature of a comrrfercial
convention ; in other respects, it must be con
sidered as an acknowledgement of existing
rights—an admission of certa.n principles of
international law, not to be revoked at the
pleasure of the parly, or to be set aside by
a, cessation* of friendly relations between
them.
Viewed in the former light, its stipulation*
might have been considered as cancelled in
consequence of the war which subsequently
took place between the contracting parties,
were it not that by the treaty concluded at
Madrid, on the 28ih August, 1814, it was de
clared that all the treaties of commerce which
subsisted between the two nations, (Great
Britain and Spain) in 1769 were thereby rati
fied and confirmed.
In the latter point of view, the restoration
of a stale of peace was of itself sufficienl to
restore the admissions contained in the con
vention of 1790 to their full original force and
vigor.
There are, besides, very positive reasons
for concluding that Spain did not consider the
stipulations of the Nootka convention to
have been revoked by the war of 1799, so as
to require, in order to be binding on her that
they should have been expressly revived or
renewed on the restoration of peace between
the tfvo countries. Had Spain considepaW”
that convention to have been anhulpljiiythe
War; in other words, had slid considered her
self restored to the former position and pre
tensions with respect to the exclusive domo
- over the unoccupied parts of the North
American continent, it is not to bo Imagined
that she would have passively submitted td
eae the contending claims of Great Britain
and the United States to a portion of
territory, the subject o f fnegottal on and formal
diplomatic transactions between those two na
tions.
it is,on the contrary, from her silence with
respect to the continued occupation, by the
British, oftheir settlements in the Columbia
territory, subsequently to the convention of
1814, and when as yet there had nd
transfer of her rights, claims; or pretensions
to the United States; and from her silence
also while*important negotiations respecting
the Colombia territory, incompatible altogeth
, er with her ancient claim to exclusive domin
ion, were in progress between Great Britain
and the United States, fairly t’o be inferred
that Spain considered the bfipnlatigrts of tjie
Noo’kaconvention, and the principles thereto
laid down, to be still in force.
But the American plenipotentiary goes sd
far ks to say that the British government it
self had no idea, in 1818 that the Nootka
Sound convention was then in force, because
no reference was made to it {on the part of
England during the negotiation of that year,
on the Oregon question.
In reply to this argument, it will be suffi
cient for the undersigned to remind the A
merican plenipotentiaoy that in the year 1818
no claim, as derived from Spain, was or could
be put forth by the United States, seeing that
it was not until the following year (the year
1819) that the treaty was concluded by which
Spain transferred to the United States her
rights claims, and pretensions to any territo
ries west of the Rocky mountains, and north
Os the 42d .parallel of latitude.
Hence, it is obvious that in the year 1818
no occasion had arisen for appealing to! the
qualified nature of the rights, claims andpre
tensionsso transferred—a qualification impos
ed; or at least recognised, by the convention
of Nootka.
• The title of the United States Id the valley
of the Columbia, the American plenipotentia
ry observes, is older than the Florida treaty
of February, 1819, and exists independently
of its provisions. Even supposing, then, that
the British construction of the Nootka Sound
convention was correct, it could not apply to
this portion of the territory in dispute.
The undersigned must be permited respect
fully to inquire, upon what principle, unless
it be upon the principle which forms the foun
dation of the Nootka convention; could the
United States have acquired a title to any
part of the Oregon territory, previously tothe
treaty of 1819, and independently of its pro
visions ? By discovery, exploration, seUle->
ment, will be the answer;
But, says the American plenipotentiary, ic
