ZACIIAllV TAl’LOIl.
On Texas* plains, and Mexico’s heights,
What are those sounds? That flash of sudden light?
What mean those flaming arms and foaming steeds ?
Alas! *tis War—a friend, a brother bleeds!
Around the foe a feeble band unites,
To guard their country’s honor and sacred rights.
What form is that, that strides along the line ?
Is it a mortal—or some power divine ?
Some guardian angel of a nation’s peace,
Some seraph, sent to bid the slaughter cease ?
No! *tis America’s Son—the heir of fame,
America’s Hero! Taylor his name.
. Then strike the harp, yc favored 6ons of song!
Already has youT music slept too long.
' The immortal Taylor asks no marble bust,
No sculptured urn to consecrate his dust:
If but one sweet Bard consents to write his name,
He’ll sleep in peace, contented with his fame.
Ah! yes—the days will come, when smothered truth
shall tell
The undecaying honors he deserves so well,
Tills name—“ Taylor” shall millions boast,
And that name be forever blest,
America’s latest sons shall bless the skies.
And tell the stranger where Z. Taylor lies.

ROUGH AND READY.
THE soldier’s story.
’Twas in tho trench at Vera Cruz,
A group of soldiers lay,
Weary and worn with working
At the guns the live long day.
Their faces were begrimed with sand
And soot from shot and shell
Exploding in the crumbling earth,
r fast the misnilcs fell.
Yet cheerily they chatted,
For their hearts with hope beat high,
‘ they knew the hour of victory
;urely drawing nigh,
line a war-worn soldier,
mingle with the rest—
bade him welcome to their cheer
gave him of tho best.

Saw.ucc’, mountain.
Next toihe lamed “Rock Mountain** in
De Kalb county, there is not, I think, in
the State of Georgia a more singular and
remarkable curiosity, of its kind, than
Saw-nec'* mountain, in Forsyth county.
This mountain is located about two
and a half miles north, north-west , from
the village of Cumming, near the termin
us of that chain of ridges, or, (geograph
ically speaking) hillocks, which extends
from north-east to south-west, pretty
much through the extent of the county,
and known throughout their length as
“ the coal Mountains/
The precise altitude of this mountain
has nol been definitely ascertained, hut it
is, I should suppose, about eight hundred
feet above the mean level of the country
surrounding it. Its circumference,
should also suppose, at its base, is two
and a half or three miles. The summit
is approached from the south-west side,
and is accessible for foot-men and horse
men, without difficulty; and by the ex
penditure of a small amount of labor,
the path-way leading to the top of the
mountain could he rendered sufficiently
smooth and passable to admit carriages
and even wagons. The ascent on the
south and east sides is gradual, but rough
and abrupt in many places; yet persons
on foot not unfrequenlly walk to the top
through the woods and shrubbery* with
out trouble or inconvenience. The north
and north-west side is extremely rugged
and precipitous, the descents sudden,
ami in some places, nearly perpendicu
lar for twenty', thirty, and forty feet, mak-
’d served with Gen. Taylor,
And they asked him of ihe man
Who first and Inst had led tho way
' To victory in the van;
On the winding Rio Grande,
On the 8th and 9th of May,
Through Buena, Vista’s carnage
And tho storm of Monterey.
“I know him first,” the soldier said,
“ Among the Everglades,
When wo gave the savage red-skins
Our bayonets and our blades.
I think 1 hear his cheerful voice: „
••On! column! Steady !steady!”
So hardy and so prompt was he +
We called him Rough and Ready.
“ He rode upon an old white horso,
And woro a brown surtout—
But oltuncr, when the ground waa deep,
IJe trudged with u .
The man *roin whoso canteen he drank,
Waa envied and thought lucky ;
•* By wounds outworn, I left the field;
“By wc
But when a new campaigu
Against another foe commenced,
1 joined the ranks again.
’Twas fun alive, boys, once' again
To hear the sabre’s clank.
Tosco old Rough and Ready ride
His white horso on our flank.
“ At Palo Alto, comrades, there
He gave us work to do,
l nrl T -
And o’er La Palma’s sulphury smoke*
His flag triumphant flew.
When from the tire his aid-de-camp
Would have .the chief retire,
the country, anti evidently for the pur
pose of defence. In the sudden and
fierce invasions and conflicts of neighbor
ing tribes or clans of Indians, one of the
belligerent parties would no doubt eager
ly select a position at once so inaccessible,
and so admirably formed by nature for
defence, and fortify it, in this way, that
they might be enabled the more easily t<5
resist the otherwise overpowering assaults
of their fierce assailants. This inference,
as to the purpose for which this wall or
breast-work was constructed, and by
whom built, is a rational, and, I doubt
not, a correct one.
On the north-east slope, about half way
down, a sn«Ag"^>Lmi|d7um]i»d^^ater
gushes fortn—cool,'sweet, and refreshing
—from trap side of tfce^mountain. ■/he
mountaiiiis covered over iliiU^Dine^post-
oak, blackjack, shrubs of vtious .Kinds,
grass, SccT’^tdLof ,hinder«J, stunted
growth. On thenortlSwfeSlside are huge
rocks, cragged and precipitous, be
tween and in the crevices Of these, buz
zards carry^etTlheir work of incubation,
and of reajring theiryoung. I do not re-
collectihat I ever have visited the moun
tain without seeing many of these useful
birds, dying below and over bead.
The mountain received its present ap
pellation, from an Iudiau (Cherokee) C^ef,
of some distinction, and who I have been
informed, did good service forthe United
States as the Captain of a band of friend
ly Indians, under Gen. Jackson, in the
war of 1812. For many years subse
quent to the close of this war. Saw-nee
resided in the neighborhood of this moun
tain, and after the purchase and cession
by the Indians of this part of the State,
he was removed, with bis people* west of
“ the father of waters.’*
This Mountain I am informed is
owned by Gen. Hansell, of .Marietta;

direction, altogether impracticable fori and if be,

call him ‘Rough and Ready,* when he
shall flee before the face of the enemy.—

spake Brock, the son of Brock6n, saying,
“ Fear ye not Winfield, the chief captain;
Behold the people of the land of Florida
daubed pitch upon his image and burned
it with fire.”
And when James, the king, heard
these things, his soul was mightily lifted
up yvithin him, and he said, “ Bring hith
er the goblets of gold and of silver, and
let yis drink to ihe utter confusion of all
the \Vhigs before the people; yea, let r.ot

CHAPTER IX.
Now, there was among all.the counsel
lors of the land of Jonathan,'one Thom
as surnamed*“ the Humbug.” And the
same was a mighty man, by reason of
fatness—lor he measured round about five
ubits, and his countenance was like unto
brass, and his voice as the roaring of the
hulls of Bashan. And the same went un
to the Kingj saying—“ Long live the King,
tind may his enemies be scattered—may
Zachariah be as a scarecrow in a garden
of cucumbers, and may the soup of Win
field, the chief captain, be as poison unto
him. Hath my Lord, the King consider

reason thereof ? Then ihe King answer-

In the streets of Monterey—
When the cannon swept the plaza,
How he sternly stood at bay.

And fire his element.

ing “solitary and alone,” isolated from
every other object, in all its grandeur
and majesty. The Tower itself, as.seen
from the summit of Saw-nee, has very
much the appearance and proportions ol
a common-size bee-gum—perhaps a little
taller. The town of Gainesville, twenty-
four miles distant, with ils snow-white
bouses, is distinctly visible, in an unob
scured atmosphere; and the little village
of Cutnming, three miles from the. sum
mit, with its Court House, public square,
dwellings, inhabitants passing to and fro,
gardens, shrubbery, &c., lies-spread out
in the distance below—the whole, ap
pearing about the size of a large hand
kerchief. The surrounding country, too,
dotted over with its countless residences,
its farm houses, its cultivated fields and
grazing cattle, adds to and eminently
heightens the enlivening picturesqueness
I aud enrapturing beauty of the scene.
About .one “hundred yards from the
. summit, extending round the south sid<
| of this mountain, in the form of a half
l moon, arc the remains of *what is suppos-
1 ed to be a wall, or kind of breast-work,
built, apparently, chiefly of rock; hut at
what lime, by whom, or for what purpose
erected, is not, and of course, cannot now
be. known. The summit of the moun
tain being approachable by an enemy
from the west and north-west sides, and
this wall or breast-work constructed on
Worth makes the southern slope, ihe only conceivable
n to make a supposition is that it was erected by the
‘ancient inhabitants—the aborigines of

as he stooped to reach up the money, the
sun shining, he saw a shadow on the'
ground which^caused him to look up,
when he perceived the arm of ..the beggar
elevated over his head, and his hand
grasping a short iron bar. He arrested
the blow in its descent, and seizing the
robber, carried him to his cart* into which
having thrown him, he drove off to the
next town, which was very near, arid
brought his prisoner before a magistrate.
On searching him, a whistle was found, itt
his pocket, which naturally induced a
“ spicion that he had accomplices in the
ed and spake saying, “Whence contest wood ; the magistrate, therefore, instant-
