THE AMERICAN FLAG.
BY J. RODMAN DRAKK
When Freedom, from her mountain height
Unfurled her Standard to the air,
She tore the azure rots of night,
And set the stars of glory thertj,-
She mingled w ith ihe gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And stripped its pute cele: tial while,
With streakings of the morning lipht;
Then, from his mansion in ihe sun”
She called her eagle beater down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen lard.
Majectic monarch of the cloud,
W ho rear’st aloft thy regal fotrn,
To hear the tempest trumping loud,
And see the lightning lances driven, 1
W hen stride the vvaniors of the storm
And rolls ihe, thunder drumof heaven, —
Child of the Sun. to ihee ’tis given,
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blending shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbinger of victory.
Flag of the brave, thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope end fi-iuqiph, nigii.
When speaas the signal iiunipei-t.me,
And the brig fine romes gleaming on,
(Ere jet the iite blood warn and wet,
Has dimmed the glisi’ning bayonet-,)
Each soldier’s eye shall brightly turn
To where thy master-glories burn,
Anil, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance,
And when the cannot: moutlungs loud \ r!
Heave, in wild wreaths, the battle shroud,
And glory,—sabres rise and fall,
Likejshoots ol flame on midnight’s pall!
There shall thy victor-giances glow,
A td cowering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seas, on ocean’s wave ‘ -
Thy stars shall glitter o’er the biave,
“W hep death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail, ‘*
And (Tightened waves rush wildly hack,
Before the b oad-side’s reeling rack ;
The dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile toisee thy splendors fly,
In triumph, o’er his closing eyes.
Flag of the free heart’s only horns,
By angel-hands to valor given.
Thy stars have lit the welkin dosie,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard’ sheet!
Where breathes the foe, but falls before us
With Freedom’s soil beueathour feet,
And Freedom’s banner streaming o’er us ?
THE SILK WORM’S WILL.
On a plain bush hurdled, a silk worm lay, ‘
When a proud yoc.ng princess came that way;
The haughty child of a human king
Threw a side-long glance at the humble thing,
That took with si eni gratitude,
From the mu berry leaf, its simple food,
And shrunk, half scorn and half cisgust,
Away from her sister child of dmt—
Declaring she never y et could see,
Why a reptile foim like ibis should be;
Wondering she had the nerves so lirm,
As calmly to stand by a crawling worm.
With mute forbearance, the silk worm took
The tanning word, arid the spurning look—
Alike a stranger to self and pride,
She had no disgust from aught beside;
But lived of a meekness and peace possessed,
Which ihtse debar from the human breast.
She only <visLed for ihe harsh abuse,
To find some way to become of use
To ihe haughty daughter ol lordly nain,
And thus did sbt Dy a noble plan—
To teach her wisdom, and make it plain
That the humble worm was not made in vuin.
A plan so generous, tbe deed so high,
That to carry it out, site must e'en die*-
‘•No more,” cried she,‘‘will I drink or eat,
I’ll spin and weave me a winding sheet—
To wrap me up from ihe sun’s dear light,
And hide me from her wounded sight.
In secret then, till my end dratvs nigh,
I’ll Joii for her, and when I die
I’ll leave behind, as a farewell boon,.
To the proud you eg princess, my whole cocoon—
To be reeled and wove to shining lace,
And hung in a veil o’er her scornful faco,
And when she calmly dras her bieaih, ‘
Through ihe very threads that have caused biy death,
When she flnds at length she was even so firm
As to were a shroud of a crawling worm—
May she bear in mind that she walks v ith pride,
In the winding sheet where the s-i k worm died.”
From the Daldanega Wa'chnian. i
THE DIAMOND MINES OF SINCURIA,
BRAZIL.
VVe take the following extract o's the pro
ilucts cf the recenily discovered diamond
mines, from the “Western Coni incut” of the
3d ins'ant. That paper, alter giving a short
history ol the discovery of those mines, which
is somewhat romantic, says :
“The diamonds- found at Paraguassti, are for the
most part of a dtia coh*r, and very irregular conform
ation. Those of Laucoes are white, or light green,
and nearly transparent us they coma from the mine.
They are octoedral, and die most prized of any. It
is often necessary to penetrate to the depth of three
or four yards belore coining to the Diamonds stratum.
Diamonds are gathered, too, m the stony ravtn.es at
die botloui of die Paroguassu itseilj ami of us tribu
tary stream. The diamonds of this mind are worth
fiotn one hundred and thirty to two hundred and sixty
dollars. The ‘ yield” is most profuse. Stone to the
value of more than a million and a halt of dol
lars were exported to England in May and June
last-. The mines has since produced about 1,450 ca
rats a day. During ‘ho ten months it lias been Work
ed, it is es imuted o have yielded 400,000 Portuguese
carats —worth three millions, six hundred thousand
dollars, three fifths of which have been carried lo
England, one-fifth lo France and Hamburgh, and ihe
remain ng fit h wails for purtha; ers at 1\ io Janeiro
and Bahia. r

MISCELLANY.
“ BOTHERATION OF WOMEN”
A new correspondent, “Joe Miller, Jr.”
discourses lo some purpose upon “7’/ie Both
erations / Women albeit he has rather
over-elaborated his exordium, as well as a
few of his illustrations. He contends that
there is no man, Bachelor or Benedict, an-’
cient or juvenile, who can lay “tis baud on his
heart and say, that since he wore his first
long-tailed coat, ‘the whole 6cx, from ihe
•help’ in his mother’s kitchen lo the girls at
meeting, and from them up to the young
ladies who play the piano,’ have not been
a constantly-going-on, a never-ending and
out-and-out Botheration. VVe are presented
with a ‘sample’ of our sex, as ?n embodied
and ‘fixed fict’ in this regard. While shav
ing in the morning, his thoughts .dwelling
the while upon the young -ltyly with whom
he flirted last evening, he ela-ws (and cuts a
gash in his cheek ) at sight of a beautiful dam
sel at an opposite window, who is watering
‘flowers ; ‘now bending down to piejk out a
decayed leaf, and now lifting her sweet'face
blooming with health, t 6 look after some stray
‘morning gioiy’ which her small while hand
would‘tram up in the way it should go.’
Breakfast over, lie hurries down Broadway
to the marts of trade, and scuds like a busi
ness-man through crowded streets, on
•change, and in all publio-places, his thoughts
disti acted and his calculations spoiled by (he
apparition of some daughter of Eve, who has
chanced to trip past him in all the witchery
of loveliness ; - beautiful alike in face and
figure ; her elegant dress swelling round,
her person after the latest fashion ; with one
hand deposited in a side pocket, her face cast
down, innocently and gracelully sucking the
knob on the end of her sun-shade, or biting,
wilh her 9mall white teeth its ivory ring.
Who could resist attractions like these ? In.
an instant his thoughts 6teal from art to na
ture. Notes, discounts, purchases and sales,
flee from bis excited brain.. AH the joys of a
happy home rise before hitn—a fond wife
and merry children. And Dow Fancy runs
over a space of twenty years; & m 10 mind’s
eye he tees a long train of beautiful’ daugh
ters, ail walking the streets, sucking the
knobs of future patasols in the same grace
ful manner as the beauty who has just passed
hint. ‘lt is a curious fact,’says Mr. Miller,
jr., ‘that although the whole sex have con
spired together for one object, they have yet
various methods of operation, all tending to
the same grand result—botheration. There.
are some cf the softer sex, of an amiable turn
of mind, who think that the •quiet system is
tl* best, and they prefer to gam their objects
by wheedling. Others, having great confi--
dence in the assumption of authority, prefer
to adopt a commanding manner, and trust to
their powers of compulsion. While a third
class piefer a constant and well directed
course of leazing, believing that continual
dropping wears away the hardest stone. i
The sex may be divided into three grand
classes ; namely : Coaxurs, Drivers, and
Worriers. Let us glance a*, them for a
moment ia their order. A ‘ >:
And first: when did women ever cease
coaxing ! when will they cease 7 Coaz 1
why, they coax from the cradle io the.grave ;
it comes as natural to them as smiling. In
early life, or mature years'; it is all the same. 1
It we are children, it is ‘Auh! do now % if
you don’t,’pon my word, I’ll never speak to
you again! Ah, I think you might; 1 think
you’re mean if you don’t,’ If we are ‘chil
dren ol a larger growth,’ it is:-‘Dear Wil
liam, went you, lor my sake now—only once!
I'm sure you can’t refuse this one time ;’and
they languish at you -with their sparkling
eyes, and pout out their ruby lips so prettily,
for tho soul of you you - can’t refuse ; and
before vou know it, you are completely bam
boozled out of your independence and firm
ness. When Ccno’an'us threatened lo de-’
stroy Home, who was it coaxed him to so ego
his intention, and spare the ciiy 1 Why, the
women. And when Governor Dorr under
took his last revolution, who was it furnished
recruits for his vaiiant army ? The Yankee
girls. Just-look at the superiorily of female
tactics in every branch of this ‘elegant ac
complishment.’ Suppose (understand, I say
‘suppose,’) a lady wishes you to kiss her. Now
if a man wanted sucli a thing, the probability
is lhat he would ask for it ‘right out,* or it
may be, proceed to snatch one without asking
at all; but.if a damsel desires one oflhe
‘long, long’ salutes, of wbich Byren speaks,
how much more finished is her plan of oper
ations ! She has some ‘great secet’ to tell
her lover, and gets behind his chair to whis
per it softly in his ear; her long curls sweep
‘ovci his faco ; her balmy breath spreads in
cense around him ; and her ’secret, 5 by rea
son of her agitation, is murmured so low that
he can’t distinguish a word of it; and most
naturally, he turns his face around to catch
her meaning from her eyes ; and in doing so,
his lips (accidentally, of c-ourse,) meet hers ;
and then oh ! ‘fluked sweetness long
dr-awn out,’ isrjU { a touch to it;’ and the most
brilliant exploits of military strategy aire com
pletely dimmed by this specimen of female
mai.ceuvering--which a lawyer wou'd pro
nounce to be a clear case of ‘obtaining a kiss
under false pretences. This is just the way
they coax, bewilder, and bother ; and if they
can’t succeed in this manner, they make
their next attempt as ‘Drivers.’
Sam Slick says, ‘The men hold the reins
but the women tell them how to drive ;’ and
theoralically and practically, such is the
fact. A woman will coax, entreat and lan
guish, as long as he can, and men show a
disposi'ioii. to comply ; but let these weapons
foil, and ‘presto, change !’ She comes out a
perfect tyrant; 6colds and berates us, if we
are only ‘courting;’ boxes our ears, or smacks
our mouths, if we are ‘engaged;’ and lec
tures, scratches and thumps us if we’re ‘mar
ried.’ One who is a good subject for ‘driv
ing,’stands no chance at all.* Evety eflort
which he makes to extricate himself only
plunges him ‘ deeper in the difficulty; and
finally at one start he finishes the matter
forever, and we see him safely secured, like
a big cat fish with a siring through his gi Is.,

see occasionally in the newspapers accounts
of marriages which take place ‘after fifty
years’ courtship,’ and every one is shocked
to think of the great a aste of time whfeh has
taken place, when an expeditious ‘driver’
would have brought the wooer up to the pop
ping-point ‘immediately, if not sooner*’ The
ihatter is very simple. Five or six hints Os

softness of voice, and a sort of ‘Don’t speak

it is though hardly necessary todiscus9 the
matter here ; yet those who wish to study
this branch of the science, are referred for*

the patient and long suffering Job Caudle.
But to change the sad picture, suppose-that
‘in conclusion’ we say a word or two tof
‘Worriers.’ -
When a man can’t be led, he must be
driven ; and when he Yah’t be driven he
must be worried. There’s a smile when he’s
willing, a frown when he’s sullen, and a
scolding when he’s stubborn. The fact has
been long ascertained, -that teazing is the
mos 1 ! delightful thing Ayhich a woman can do;
it is so easy, so pleasant, and puts her in
such an amiable state of mind. lust let her

SPEECH OF MR. COLQUITT,
OF GEORGIA, j

Mr. Colquitt, who held the floor friar,
yesterday, then proceeded to address the
Senate, and said : i do not profess to ha vie
myself any knowledge of ({te views which the
Preside.it'has not given to the world, which
go to support his recommendation# on the
subject of Oregon,’ Relying wirlr the utmost
confidence.on his honesty, integrity, and firm
ness, I am quite ready to act upon these re
commendations. It has been very properly

All that he has said; and all that be has done,
and all that he has offered to do, has met a
favorable response from the public. It would
be a libel epon'his character to say that now
he considers what he has done, or what be
h*s offered to do, as not the be&t that might
orfcouldihave been done fbr the best interests
and happiness of thepeople. lam not witling
that his political adversaries should assert or,
his political friends insinuate that he is
ly endeavoring to plunge this country into a
war,' whilst all his public communications
breathe the language of peace. 1 am not
willing that t|ie public should consider that
there are gentlemen in the halls of Congress
that havethe private ear of the President, and
are his especial mouth-pieces, whilst he pos
sesses daily means of communication with
both houses of (fjbnu&ess. If war comes, thb
fault will not be oirlns bead. In what he
has already done, and m what he has offered
to do, we have a public guarantee of what lie
is still willing to do, and the sacrifices lie is
‘still prepared to make in order to preserve
at once the peace and hohor of the nation,—

ingg here and ejsewhere, that while his cum-’
rmmications aldd his recommendations ‘to
Congress are all peaceful, there is a secret
hostility to any ‘negotiation on the part of thcr
Executive’; .and’ the inflamatory speeches
made in thd halls of Congress by some gen*\
demon have strengthened the conviction
and given some alarm; bu: in vindication of
the Preside*#, permit rue to say that when
ever the people shall find that his public and
private acts are.conflicting with each other
-4-that lie acts with disguise and dissimula
tion—that'he is weak and and vaciiating, and
to be driven from'his dignified and peaceful
purpose by inflammatory ‘speeches made in
Congress, it Will’then be time enough to con--
vert public applause into public reprobation.
The spirit, feeling, and character of the mes
sage have been all well calculated to make
us all consider not only the question itself, but
the probable result of our final action upon it.
The ardent and uA'comprtnising, stimulated,

pretensions of ‘ten ambitious nation. The
prudent and the cautious, actuated by the

or fettered by the fears and apprehensions of
the other, to ccmsideV this question in the
spirit,of calmness and prudence. Is Oregon,’
in truth on principles of justice, a territo y of
the United States? Is our title to the 54th
parallel of latitude unquestionable and unen
cumbered. Is there any d.fllculty about it?
If you answer Ihereis none, then, thereis left
for ins,but one course, ‘the maintenance of
those rights/peaceably if we may, forcibly if
we must,- It has been the business of some
to give ha very glowing descriptions of the

the assertion of uncompromising right tollin’
