I loved thee ouce —but 1 have learned To banish hence that thought To check the heart which vainly burned With love that was unsought; The flame which lit my spirit first. In youth’s bright dreamy hour— Which I awhile so fondly nursed. Hath lost its former power. I loved thee—but that love Iwe on Was to thee all unkuow n : By thee unheeded and unseen, I thought of thee alone. How oft amid the throng I’ve wept For one glance from thine eye ; There by me thou hast often stepp’d Unconscious I was nigh. 1 loved the once—oft have I gaied Upon thy beaming brow. Till thence methought a radiance blaze'i Too bright for ought below ; And 1 have listened to thy song, And viewed thy smiling face. Till it seemed borne on wings along. Thro’ heaven’s a 1 rial space. I loved thee once—but tears no' more Shall dim mine eyes for thee ; In other ears thy flattery pour, ’Tis nothing now lo me. Nor will thy memory cause a smart, For the last tie is riven, And I possess once more the hoart So idly to thee given. *• a. Bullet county, Ky., 1861. Another sweet and simple lyrie from Alice Cabby : THK SHEPHERDESS. BT ALICE CARBT. Sat we on the mossy rocks In the twilight long ago, I and Ulna, keeping flocks— Flocks w.th fleeces white as su*w. Beauty smiled along the sky ; Beauty shone along the sea; “Ulna, Ulna,” whispered I, “This is all for you and me !” Brushing back my heavy locks, Said he, not alas ! in glee, “Art content in keeping flocks With a sheperd boy like me ?” Shone the moon so softly white Down upon the mossy rocks. Covering sweetly with her light Me and Ulna, and our flocks. Running wild about our feet Were the Mushing summer flowers— “ Ulna,” said I, “what is sweet In this world, that is not ours ?” Thrice he kissed my cheek and sighed, “These are the dreary rocks and cold — Oh, the world is very wide, And I weary of my fold !” Now a thousand oxen stray That are Ulna’s, down the moor, And great ships their anchors weigh. Freighted with his priceless ore. But my tears will sometimes flow, Thinking of the mossy rocks Where we sat, eo long ago, I and Ulna, keeping flocks. • From, the Liverpool Times. The Late Thomas Moore. The illustrious brotherhood of poets which forms pueh a conspicuous glory of the past age is now’ nearly all disbanded. Keats, the youngest, was • the first to die, and Rogers, the oldest, who pub lished ton years before Keats was born, is still liv ing, thirty* years after the death of his youthful contemporary. Keats, in the full flush of youth, with all his glorious faculties immature and nas cent, was first cut off; then Shelley, just verging from the rocks and shoals of youthful passion and experience into the calm, sunny, fathomless ex panse of intellectual manhood, was suddenly drowned; then Byron, in the prime of his man hood, “Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita,” with the passions of his youth rushing through his ma turity like the waters of the St. Lawrence, far into the Atlantic ocean, just as the current was abating in its fury, and. heaven and ocean seemed propi tious, suddenly vanished from the horizon. A few years subsequent, Sir Walter Scott, after making and losing a princely fortune, just when the autumnal touches showed the ripeness of ago, from prodigious overworking of his powers, died ■with his mind a melancholy ulauk.—Shortly after wards, Coleridge, “the rapt one with the godlike forehead,” with the intellect of a superior being and scarcely rho moral purpose of a child, after years of languishing, produced by the tyranny of opium, found rest. Then Southey, with his pow ers exhausted like Sir Walter Scott’s, died with his mind in sane; then Campbell, scarcely past the time when a man is in the vigor of his faculties, became tatuous and expired an imbecile ; and now last week. Tort Moore, the bard of Lis native Erin, the poet who p ossessed and exercised a more ac tive fancy than any of his contemporaries, whose wit, raillery, powers of image musical expres sions are unrivalled, although he had only just passed the boundaries of the three score years and ten, departed to the unknown world, with all his brilliant faculties dimmed by premature decay, dy ing as it were like an old man asleep), in the misty inaction of a childish dream. Sad conclusions*. Keats dead before his manhood, Shelly on the threshold, Byron at its prime; and Scott, Southey, Campbell, and Moure, like a tropical afternoon du ring a sudden storm passed as it were, at one stride, from day to darkness—from the pride of power to the humiliation of second childhood. The great exception is Wordsworth; he died fall of years full of glory, and full of intellect; he sank like the sun through t. cloudless sky in the ocean, showing his subdued splendors along the deep further and further till he sets, and all is night. The causes of this “falling off” of groat men in their declining vears would be an though sad inquiry, but would occupy too much ol our space, and we now revert to the groat poet who has just departed, and now in the gorgeous cloudlaud of poetry has left a ‘ gap i’th’ clouds.” Tom Moore, besides his great political genius, possessed social talents which made him, as Byron lias described him in the dedication*)!' the Corsair, the idol of every circle in which he moved. It was never our happiness to meet him, but we have heard a highly-cultivated gentleman, residing among us, give many graphic accounts of evenings spent with him, when ne-shone pre-eminent among a circle of wits, from the readiness and perfect good humor of his repartee, the shrewdness of his ob servation, the unction of humor, and the exquisite taste and talent of his Binging. He was pre-eminently a fascinating man, not like Lord Byron, by theatrical mysteriousness and em pirical ropulsivencss, butfromanative benevolence of manner, and that plastic sympathy which adapts itaclfto the peculiarities of every listener, Moore, more than any other poet of the age, has left the impress of his social genialities upon the memories of his successors : as to his genius, it re quires merely to bo sketched, es it lias been de lineated in such a masterly manner by more than one of our metropolitan contemporaries. There never was a poet who possessed such fa cility.ef imagery, of such buoyancy of temper. lie is more genial than even his favorite Anacreon; and if he have not the suavity, and shrewd obser vation of Horace, he has a fur more playful and ebullient wit, and a fancy bevond comparison more brilliant, copious, ana rapid. His fancy was too active and projectile for calm and deep emotion, hence, even in the “Loves of the Angels,” there is uo intensity of passion, but in its place plenty of amatory sentiment. Lnlla Kookh is unique. Its fidelity to eastern manners and scenery is marvellous, but still more marvellous is the rapid and untiring succession of comparisons, flashing out one after another in glorious disorder, like tVe«h images of the sun on the ripples of a riv er, from everv breath of wind. As a song writer be is immortal, and Burns is the only British lyrist to contest the palm with him. He has not the passion, energy, and con centrated expression of the Scottish bard, but his intellectual resources arc more extended, his sub jects more diversified, his versification more musi cal, and h’.s embellishments more lavish. He is the poet of sentiment —Burns of passion. He is never swept on by his theme; the fiercer feelings are unsown to him, and his mind, in its interest efforts never moved from its place, but merely swayed to and fro like the broad-leaved branches • of a sycamore in a summer tempest, while its roots are sleeping in the soil. Rich and Poor. —lt is too much the habit of the rich and powerful to depreciate the service and value of laboring men. In this they evince little regard for the teachings of history. The ranks of wealth make a poor show when contrasted with the ranks of poverty, in the world’s annals. AY here wealth has produced one great man, poverty has adorned the earth with a hundred. Look out at our own country, for instance. The unequalled philosopher, Franklin, was a poor journeyman printer. The great orator of the revolution,* Pat rick Henry, was nursed i n anything but a lap of wealth. The poor shoemaker of England, Roger Sherman, earned a world-wide fame, and we might multiply instances until wo filled our paper, with out enumerating all. And to come down to our own time, we have only to point to Clay, Douglas, and other illustrious men, to whom poverty stood both god-father and god-mother, but who have fought their way up to proud and glorious distinc tions, as the mightiest among the sons of men, to JJluatrate the truth of our proportion Exchange, 8 O I TII EII * C I LT I V A TO It . Opinions of the Press. . The Southern Cultivator for May, opens with i jan article on t lie science of Plowing. Following) > this is an essay on the time for cutting timber, a much mooted point. The writer decides, (for the most of trees,) nbgut or before the middle of Au gust —or after the growth of the present season has been obtained, and before Inc deposit of matter for the next year’s growth has taken place. Experience has proven that the durability of timber is materially affected by the time selected for cutting, and this must, of course, vary in differ ent latitudes, When is the proper time in Florida is a very important question to all classes. A chap ter on the improvement of vegetable races, by Dr. Lee is very interesting and valuable. The horti cultural department is unusually full. Following this wo have a letter from Arkansas. Wonderful are the stories of cotton-growing in Arkansas; but this writer does not draw very heavily on onr stock of faith. He says: “When proper skill is employed, and with a favorable season, upon our best lands, the planter may safely calculate on ten bales of 500 pounds, to the band, besides a suffi ciency of corn and vegetables.” Southern Im provement in Agriculture. Succeeding this, is a brief notice of the results of manuring in the Old North State, the lands of which do not bear the reputation of uncommon fatness. One farm, in Edgecomb, uncommonly poor, produced last year an average of 1200 pounds seed cotton per acre; another an average of a 400 pound bale in a crop of7o. Another made 50 bags in 1849, 60 in ’SO and 98 in 1851. All were manured with the pro ducts of the stable and ash-heap.'•The Poultry Yard, the Farm Yard and Miscellaneous Depart ments are worthy of special notice, but our space is limited. \ We have often taken occasion to speak in high terms of the Southern Cultivator. We class it in the first rank of Agricultural Journals, North, South or any where; and when we consider that the small sura of one dollar per annum will open its rich stores of scientific, practical and profitable knowledge to the planter, it must be admitted that the agriculturist who fails to take and read it, does himself an iuiury. Published monthly bv W. S. Jones, Augusta, Georgia. —Florida Sentinel. The May number of the Southern Cultivator is on our table. It is filled as usual, with the most instructive and interesting ma'tter, treating upon agriculture, &c., and is certainly one of the best papers of its kind we know of. Every farmer who wishes to succeed well should not be w ithout the Cultivator. It is published at Augusta, Ga., at the very low price of one dollar a year in advance.— Weekly Picayune. A Lusus Naturae.—Wo saw last week in the pos session of Mr. Hampton Huntly, of Union county, a strange phenomenon in the human form. It was born of a negro woman, the slave of a Mrs. Bar rett, who lives on Jones’ Creek, in Anson county, is a male, fourteen years of age—is thirty-seven and a half inches iu height, is more than propor tionate totbesizv,of his body and limbs. His head is small in proportirn to his face, and recede®" a Eoint, much after the manner of a small ended egg. e has no intelligence more than what is common to the brute creation —cannot speak a word, yet will recognise the call of his name, which is “Bquire.” Walks on his bands and feet like a quadruped, and sits like a tailor, and when he sleeps sits in this position with his head in his lap. lie lives on the ordinary human diet, but has to be fed like a child, lie is upon ihe whole a remarka ble curiosity. His owner intends exhibiting him iu the Southern and Western States. He will then sell him to Barnum. —Forth Carolina Whig. We have seen this wonderful curiosity, and re gard the above about as correct a description as can be given of it. At times it displays almost super human agility ; and, as a shot/’, it is far more a mat ter of interest to the curious than nine-tenths of the exhibitions to which public attention is called. It would boa mine of wealth to Barnum.— C. KepoMican. LINES'. BY WILLIAM CULLES BRTAST. !

From the Charleston < 'onrief, qsaL Presbyterian General Assembly. ■ i Monday Morning, May 24. — An invitation was received from the Commissioners of the Orphan House, to visit that Asylum—accepted with thanks for Saturday next, at 4 o’clock, P. M. An invita tion was received from the Charleston Library So ciety, to visit that Institution, and tendering the. use of their books—accepted with thanks. The election for Trustees of tin*. Wcstern Theological Seminary made the second order of the day for i Tuesday. The report of the Board of Foreign : Missions was taken up and read. On the motion to adopt the report, the Rev. Mr. Wright, from one of the Indian missions, addressed the Assembly, gave an account of the flourishing condition of the Choctaw Mission. There v.ere 12 churches among i the Choctaws and 1800 members of the Preshvte ; rian Church, besides large numbers of Baptists and ! Methodists. They value education and are rapidly j advancing in knowledge and civilization ; have a j good system of laws and well regulated social j state, and have the New Testament ami Catechisms } in their own language and flourishing schools for both sexes. Mr. Dickey spoke on the subject of the Missions in Africa. Mr. Eankon, a tnissonary from India, spoke on the subject of the East India missions. He stated that within a disirict of millions of inhabitants, near Fntteghur, there is not one missionary. He said there was a Church of colored people in this city, whose members con tribute $8 cacli to the cau»e of missions—to which the Church at large T*y no means came up*. The Rev. John C. Lowric stated that there are 7 mis sions among the Indian tribes, with schools for children, and that lay assistants were greatly need ed. that the subject of missions to California and other Western Districts was under I consideration of the Board, and mentioned that the King of Siam (a field which a year ago, it was thought must be abandoned) was now inviting the missionary into his country and into his own fami ly. He offered up an impressive prayer on the subject. Mr.Duban called attention to the statis ts- ' tables, and lamented that some Churches had contributed nothing and others so little. The Report was adopted. The election for Directors of the Board of Mis sions was made the order of the day for Tuesday, The annual report of the Princeton Theological Seminary was presented, showing the attendance of 188 ...indents, during the past year, and the flourishing '‘ondit’ •. of the institution. Forty young men had comp’eted their course within the ye.,r and received their certificates—the largest class ever graduated. The death of the Rev, Dr. Alexander was announced with a feelingtribute t© his memory. The report of the Treasurer of the Seminary was also read. These reports were ra te red to a committee. The ease of Mr. Davis against the Synod of Memphis w.*s referred to the judicial committee. The Reverend Stuart Ro binson was appointed to preach the sermon on Domestic Missions, before the next General Assembly—the Rev. S. B. Jones, Alternate. Over ture No. 8, from Steubenville Presbytery was pre sented, requesting the publication of certain works at a cheaper rate. After much discussion, the Re port of the Committee on Bills and Overtures on the subject was adopted, referring the mat ter to the serious consideration of the Board of Pub- | lication. Overture No. 9, a memorial from Dr. i Doak, was adopted. Afternoon Session. —The Assembly proceeded to hear reports from the delegates of ‘correspond ing bodies. The Rev. Mr. Converse, from the Gen eral Convention ot ermont, gave a detailed ac count of the ecclestiastieal organization of that State, of which the large majority arc Congregation - alist; the next largest body was the Baptists, the next the Methodists—and then a few Episcopalian Churshes ! The intellectual, moral and religions condition of the State is highly favorable, abd it scuds out more missionaries, both foreign and domestic, than any other State iu proportion to its .population. The*General Conference of Maine . was represented by the Rev. Mr. Fiske. The Con vocation consists of 225 Churches with about 17- GOO members. Extensive revivals have been in progress. The Baptist and Methodist Churches are also prosperous. There are about 65,000 church members in the State. On the other hand there are 100,000 children in the State, without Sabbath School instruction. Emigration and the division of sects prevent systematized efforts. The effect of the Maine Liquor Law is salutarv. Mr. Fair, from the Association of Rhode Island,* report ed that the membership of the Congregational Churches is about 3000. Brown University, the ©ulv college in the State, is a religious institution under the care of the Baptist Church. The next subject that came up was the appoint ment for the preaching of the annual sermon against popery, After discussion the matter was, by vote immediately postponed. The Committee on Devotional Exercises reported the following arrangement of exercises for the week, in Glebe street Church, which was adopted. Tuesday Night, Rev. Adam Torrence.

' WKD.VKSDAY MOR.MN6 MAY 26, 1852. Savannah and Philadelphia Steamers. ! It affords us great pleasure to call the attention of the travelling public to the advertisement of the ‘ Philadelphia and Savannah Sham Navigation Company," announcing the regular triy>s of the splendid new Steamship “ State of Georgia.,” between those two ports. This steamer, descrip tions of which we have already published, is said to be one of the most superb, in all her appoint ments, engaged in the coasting trade. We are as sured that her accommodations and finish arc on a scale of elegance unsurpassed, and altogether so complete as to render her a floating palace, offer- I mg every desirable inducement to the traveller, .. mother he consults his comforts or dispatch. Let Georgians see to it that this enterprise does not suffer for the want of a liberal support. Eve ry man in the State is to a greater or less extent in terested in its success, because it cannot fail to ex ercise an important influence upon the commerce and prosperity of Georgia ami her people. The Madison Springs.—lt affords us great plea sure to cay the attention of the public to the adver tisement of Col. John D. Watkins, announcing that this long established and popular watering place, will bn open for the reception of visitors on the first of June next. From our knowledge of the proprietor, wo feel confident visitors may congratulate themselves that “Mine Host” of the Madison Springs is so familiar with the courtesies and proprieties of re fined and elegant society, ns to afford the best pos sible guarantee that their wants and themselves will be properly oared for. Among the othyr attractions at this delightful resort, is a spring, recently discovered, combining, we are assured, rare and valuable medicinal proper ties, which in addition to the other springs, amuse ments, &e., will present strong inducements, as well to the invalid us the votary of pleasure, to spend weeks or months there. “ While Mr. John M.Bottshas kindly furnished a programme of Gen. Scott's conduct as a candi date, Mr. Henry A. Wise has been good enough 1 to furnish a platform for the Democratic nominee to stand upon. 1 “ Mr. Wise's resolution, being in Accomack lingo, cannot be understood—and that is probably ’ rll the better for the purpose of the mover. It is 1 j believed, howe% - cr, that the object and effect of the ! resolutions will be to defeat the nomination of ■ | General Cass, by taking ultra Southern State-rights ! ground. So far as I can understand the resolu tions, they are intended to condemn the aeqnies -1 ceuee in those parts of the compromise which have 1 ■ been executed, and to insist upon the rigid enforce ment of tiie fugitive slave act. Nothing could be - devised of a more v npalatablc nature for the North i ern Democracy. The last resolution instructs the delegates of the eleventh district to offer these resolutions in the Democratic national convention, f ■ Mr. Wise is himself one of the delegates, and will . of course, himself offer and advocate the rcsolu . tions. It will bo entertaining to see the adminis tration of this Accommaek bolus to the Northern Democrats. If they do not pronounce it worm wood, I am much mistaken.” Wk clip the above from the Washington cofTcs- I pondenee of the New York Commercial Adverti ser, and, in giving it a place, cannot forego the pleasure of congratulating our readers upon the fact, that Mr. Wise has determined to present the question of enforcing the execution of the Fugitive Slave law, to the consideration of the convention. The opportunity will not therefore be afforded them, of giving the question the go by, as had j been fondly anticipated by most of the. delegates, and especially by those who were such prominent actors in the secession ranks a few months ago. Although wo have no confidence in Mr. Wise as a politician, and no respect for his opinions, yet he is the man, above all others, for the occasion. He has an indomitable, obstinate will, that will not yield t© the dictation or persuasion of those who would pass over so grave a question in silence. Besides, as he desires to see the national Democ racy purged of its freesoil alliances, and as he be longs to the “rue or rain ” class of politicians, we feel assured there will bo no quieting him, and that the question will certainly be brought before the convention in a broad and comprehensive form, “ The Union of the Democracy.” Under this head, the Columbus (Ga.,) 11 Sentinel' one of the democratic Secession organs in this State, and the only one that has had the honesty to stand by its teachings during the lata canvass, makes the following comments. However, men 1 may differ from the secession notions of the Senti nel, its present course cannot fail to command their ! respect —while that of its late coadjutors can but ■ i excite the commiseration, if not contempt, of every j patriot. But a few months since they were equal ly as bold in their denunciations of the Northern demeeracy for unsoundness, ns the Sentinel. Now, however, a wonderful change has come over the spirit of thei* dreams. While the Sentinel ad heres to and still proclaims its opinions—they, in their hunger and thirst after tho-spoils, have repu diated their own counsels, and are seeking an open alliance with those whose association they, but a few months since, declared would defile any South- i cm man. If they asserted the truth then, and . nothing has since transpired to disprove their as- • sertion, they now occupy a position “disgraceful” I to themselves, and “treasonable to the South”— | otherwise they are guilty of having attempted to deceive and mislead the Southern people by the j proclamation of a known untruth. Let them take either horn of the dilemma, from one of which i they cannot escape, and they are by their own showing unworthy of the confidence of the South ern people. “Toe Union or the Democracy.”—We arc in debted to a member of Congress for a pamphlet speech of Hon. N. S. Townsend, of Ohio, deliver ed in the House of Representatives on the 17th March last, upon this very interesting subject. Ho makes some startling disclosures which ought to interest our readers. He denounces the Fugitive Slave Law of 1703 as I unconstitutional. The jicts of Congress upon the j subject of slavery in the District of Columbia share I the same fate. The act of Congress accepting the cessions of territory from North Carolina and Georgia to the United States, in which it was pro a Ved that Congress should never abolish slavery there—the failure of Congress to give freedom to all slaves in Florida and the Missouri Territory— and the lately passed Fugitive Slave Law—are all regarded as so many infractions of the Constitu tion, and must be repealed, in .the opinion of the honorable gentleman, before the South can expect the North to cease the agitation of the slavery question. Nay, more ; Congress must abolish slavery in the District of Columbia—the coastwise sla e trade must be stopped—the intcr-Stato slave trade prohibited—and then the South may have | peace, but not till then. I Ho treats with contempt the threat of Georgia to 1 secede from the Union if the Fugitive Bill is re pealed : j “I have beard it said, that if the fugitive slave bill is repealed, or slavery abolished in this Dis trict, the South will dissolve the Union ; but, gen tlemen, that cry has been heard too often to make much impression upon the North. Coming from that quarter, it is simply nonsense ; for who does not know that the Union is infinitely more impo tant to the slaveholders, than the slaveholders are to the Union? I think of this cry of dissolving the Union as I do of the boy’s threat, who, be cause his mother would not suffer him to pinch the cat’s tail when he pleased, declared he would go to the neighbors where they had the measles, and catch the disease, and die, to spite her.'’ [Laugh ter.] In conclusion, we are informed that if any sec tional test is imposed upon the Baltimore Conven tion the electoral vote of Ohio will not be given to its nominee; and ho backs up his prophecy with the significant fact that the Democratic members who voted for the fugitive slave bill w r ere left at home by their constituents, wnd arc not members of the present Congress. This, then, is the price of peace. We must con sent to the repeal of all laws of Congress designed to protect the institution of slavery in all the now States of the confederacy—and to the abolition of the trade in slaves between the States ; and in re turn the South will have extended her the baud of fellowship by the Democracy. Is such a union de sirable '{ Arc these men our friends ? Can wo af filiate with them ? We can do so, but not without dishonor, anS at the imminent hazard of our dear est interests. Until such men as Townsend are driven out of the Democratic party, no lover of the South ought to co-operate with it. There is treason in the co al itiop. » Mr. Hulsemann’s Valedictory. The reader is .already familiar with the rumor, that Austrian Minister, Hclsemann, had ad dressed an impertinent note to Mr. Webster, announcing his purpose to close his intercourse with the State department, while tilled by him. The New York Herald furnishes the follow ing translation of the note together with the reply of the department. How they were obtained, we know not, and give them for what they are worth ; premising they arc, probably, correct copies. Copy of a Note addressed hy AT. Hulsemeinn to Mr. Webster, dated at Washington, April 25, 1852. - On my recent return from Havana, L found that the moment had arrived to fulfil the intentions of my Government relative to my official connections with the Government of the United States. The Secretary of State has not judged fit to re ply to the note which 1 considered it my duty to address to him, dated the 13th of December, in relation to the reception and the military honors rendered to Kossuth by the federal authorities. The Secretary of State had led me to hope that my interviews with him, in the State Department, would bo no longer commented upon, and accom panied by derisive remarks, in certain jour nals of Baltimore and Philadelphia. These as surances, which were even given to me in writing, have been immediately burlesqued in the same journils, and have only led to more virulent attacks, which were continued in one widely circulated journal of New Orleans. And on my passage through that city, 1 have been the object of very disagreeable demonstrations. I considered it my duty at that time—2lst of No vember—to inform the President of these annoy ances, so singularly patronized; and thereupon the Secretary ofState declared to me —28th November —that thenceforth his relations with mo should bo had only in writing. On the 7th of January, the Secretary of State judged fit to pronounce publicly, and in the pre sence of Kossuth, a revolutionary speech, in which be strenously encounragcd Hungary to a new re bellion, and formally proposed a sentiment to the speedy emancipation of that kingdom. This de monstration was of such a strange character—was so contrary to the simplest international courtesy, as well as to the positive promises which you had given me in the Department of State—that 1 con sidered it my duty to address myself to the highest authority of the republic, to be' assured whether this discourse was the expression of t he sentiments of the Government of the U. States. 1 esteem it a happiness to be enabled to say that the Imperial Government, approving my course, has rendered justice to the declaration which the I President considered it proper to make to me on j the 12th of January, with the design of maintaining* ; the good conn'ctions existing between Austria unci I the United States. Tueso verbal assurances have not given place since to any proceeding of the Secretary of State, to corroborate officially the declaration of the Pre sident, and to produce a satisfactory reconcilia tion. After having determined, with much delibera tion, as to the hostile proceedings of the Secretary of State—and after having experienced the false and ; disagreeable position which had resulted therefrom, ! I believed it to be my duty to declare, for very evi dent motives of propriety, that my Government I would no longer permit me to remain here, and 1 | continue official relations with the principal pro i moter of the Kossuth episode, so very much to be | regretted. I profit by this occasion to express to the Presi | dent my respectful thanks for Ids invariably obli- I ging conduct toward me. Mr. A. Belmont, consul general of Austria at ! New York, will continue his functions until fur | tber orders. Receive, Mr. Sccretaray ofState, the expression | of my high consideration. Answer of the Secretary of State to Mr. Hulsemnnn.

In reply, I have the honor to inform you that as Mr. Belmont is well known to the Secretary of State as a gentleman of much respectability, any communication which it may bo proper for him to address to the Department in his official character, will be received with entire respect. 1 avail myself of this occasion to offer you, Sir, the assurance of my high consideration.

The New York Herald is of opinion that hence forth there need bo no apprehension of glutting the Cotton Market, inasmuch as before another year is over there is a probability that Japan, China, Australia, and all the Southeastern shores of Asia, will need a large supply of cotton goods. The Editors of the N. Y. Herald have seen pri vate letters from the celebrated Madame Hcnrietto Sontag, written in Germany' of a late date, in which she states that she intends to sail for New York and the New World about the middle* of August. The Library of Congress is being rapidly repair ed. It is said that the general arrangements will be such ns to secure safety from the ravages of fire, and the rooms fitted in accordance with a well ma tured plan of architecture, combining convenience with strength and elegapee. Since the late confla gration from three to four thousand volumes of standard works have been added to the catalogue. The Releigh (N. C.)

Official. —Pension Office, May 21, 1852.—The subjoined circular has been prepared in reply to the many inquiries addressed to this office on‘the subject referred to. J. E. Heath, Commissioner. Sir—ln reply to your letter of inquiry, you are informed that where a partv dies before the issue of his land warrant, under the act of 28th September, 1850, the right to it dies with him, unless there be a widow, or children who were minors at the time of the passage of the act. If he left a widow, the application may be renewed in her name; or if none, then in the names of such minor children. If there bo neither widow nor minor children, no right vests in any one. The act of 22d March, 1552, is silent as to the right of the widow or cliil dren to reiiOAv the application, if the party dies before obtaining the warrant. If the claimant dies after the issue of the war rant, the title thereto rests in the heirs in the same manner as real estate, and can be assigned only by those who could convey a tract of land descended from the ancestor. Very respectfully, vour obedient «ervant ? J. E. Heath, Commissioner, m— 1 Ir ———— l Items. Comparing Beauty.—ln the eastern part of Del- j ewarc co., in New York State there resides a man j named B , now a Justice of the Peace and a very sensible man, but, by common consent, the ugliest looking individual in the whole county, be ing long, gaunt, sallow and awry, with a gait like a kangaroo. One day, he was out hunting and on one of the mountain roads he met a man on foot and alone, who was longer, gaunter, uglier, by all odds, than himself. He could give the “Square” ‘•fifty and beat him.” "Without saying a word B raised his gun and deliberately levelled it at the stranger. “For God’s sake, don’t shoot 1” shouted the man, in great alarm. “Stranger re plied B ,“I swore ten years ago, that if I ever met a man uglier than I was, I’d shoot him ; and you are the fust one I’ve seen.” The stranger, after taking a careful survey of his “rival.” replied ; “AYal, captain, if I look any worse than yon chi, shvte ! I dont wpnt to live no longer.” Upon the arrival at AA'est Brookfield, the other day, of the express train from Boston, a chap 1-5 or 16 years old, was discovered snugly hid under one of the passenger curs, lying upon the narrow beam of the truck, having rede in that position from AA'orcester, a distance of 25 miles. He had no money, and the conductor stowed him into the baggage car, and brought him on to Springfield. It would hardly bo worth while for any one else t® try this game, for it is possible they might npt get safely through. The Messrs Griswold of New York have put up one of their India packets for Port Philip in Aus tralia, to leave on the 25th present month, with elegant cabin and ample steerage acommodations for gold adventurers.

Gazette states that the late fine weather has had the effect of forwarding the growth of the wheat, which now begins to look very well and promising. But the effect on the tobacco plants has been injurious, vast numbers of the fly having made their appearance. Unless the weather be soon more propitious the plants will be so seriously injured that the crop will be a scant one. The steamboat men of St. Louis have held a public meeting, at which they suggested the neces sary measures to prevent a recurrence of the terrible steamboat disasters on the A\ estern waters , ex pressing their candid anxiety for the adoption of restrictive cogent laws for the better protection of life and property, only asking that they may not be subject to useless and uncalled for expenditures and restrictions. The AYbig Committee for East Tennessee have issued a call for District Conventions to be hold on the 17th inst., to complete the organization for the ensuing canvass. They assume that the AA T hig Presidential and A T ice Presidential candidates “will be true to the Constitution and its compro mises—faithful friends of the adjustment measures of the last Congress in their finality and ‘totali ty.’ ” I The Bridgeport (Ct.)

Kossuth in Albany. —AV e perceive that the au dience assembled to hear Kossuth in Albany on I Thursday afternoon was a very slim one. About 500 tickets were sold, and when the “ bond hold ers” were in and seated, the doors of the church were thrown open, and soras 50 more “outsiders” about the door were admitted gratis. His voice was | very weak, aud could not be heard twenty feet from him. His speech was written in the morning, and j it appeared in the papers long before he concluded , speaking. Ills secretary and himself manifested 1 much indignation, and remarked that the prin j ters had betrayed his confidence, as they promised him not to circulate it until delivered. He left Albany on Friday morning, by the express train, direct for Niagara Falls. He received at Albany only $1,500.

O. Pie. Memphis and Louisville Railroad—Arrival ©f the Engineers. — Mr. Rogers arrived yesterday with a party of Engineers, from Louisville, and has al ready commenced the examination and survey of the route of the Louisville and Memphis Railroad. The survey will be pushed with all vigor until com pleted, and it behooves our friends on the line to bestir themselves, so ns to furnish the party with , reliable guides in their examination of the country j through which it is proposed to be run. The road cannot of course, pass by every man’s door. The route is the one that every friend of the enterprise should desire to see adopted. Its benefits are too diffusive for a few miles, more or less, to make any sensible difference to private interests. We trust, therefore, that our friends all along the route, will bo prepared to give to the surveying party all necessary-information in regard to the country, and thereby facilitate their opera tions. Mr. Robinson, the Chief of the Survey, is not with this party, but is expected to be over the entire route before long. —Memphis Eagle.

Tribute of Respect. Augusta Division, No. 7, Sow or Temperance. The Committee appointed pt the last meeting to draft suitable resolutions, in honor to the memory of our late Brother Hawkins Huff, have discharg ed that duty, and beg leave to report the following: The hour that separates friends for a time who I have been long associated together, awakens strong and solemn emotions. But when the ties of friend ship have been sanctified by the pure, and holy obligations of brotherhood, and are severed by the irrevocable decree of death, the heart under a pro - per conviction of its condition, and conception of the future, should be subdued and humbled, and keenly feel its own poverty and helplessness, and should record as a cherished memento ever-green in its recollections, the life and associations of him, who has been thus takan away. We have discharged the duty of paying the last tribute of respect to our esteemed Brother, Haw kins llcff; and, although compelled to part with his earthly remains at the grave, yet we would be recreant both to duty and inclination, il we per mitted that solemn occasion to end his associa tion with us. Although Ids seat is vacant at our meetings, and his voice«is no more heard in our councils, his name must still remain first upon the charter under which we claim our existence as a Division. He was uur first W, I’., who presided over and conselled us in the infancy of our asso ciation, and the first D. D. G. W. F. to whom waa confided the guardianship and welfare of the whole Order in this part of the State. In all these honorable and responsible station* he endeared himself to all by his kind and bro therly demeanor, and manifested those qualities of heart and mind, that both guarded and sustained the interest of the Order, and erected a monument in the-Rilcctious of his brethren that no misfortune can destroy or lapse of years obliterate. Remlved, Therefor e. That in the decease of Bro ! ther Hawkins Huff, the Order of the Sons of Tern ! poronce has lost a worthy and esteemed Brother, his relations and associates a kind and stedfust friend, and the community a valuable and exem plary member. Resolved, That we deeply sympathise with his bareaved relations, and extend to them the conso lations afforded by his exemplary life, gentlemanly bearing, unsullied integrity, and also by the fact that his name is recorded among the Archives of the Division, and will be treasured and perpetuated while Temperance shall have an advocate, or tiffe Order of the Sons of Temperance a friend. Resolved , That the Charter, and other furniture of the Division be clothed in mourning during the present quarter. L. D. I. AXLERSTEI)T , i Isaac S. T. Parish, > Committee, Geo. H.

Courier & Enquirer learns that Senor Larrainzar, the Minister of the Republic of Mexico, near this Government, was to have been presented to the president on Saturday, and that the publish ed letter purporting to be from President Arista, i* not a correct copy of that presented by Signor La Vego, Secretary of the Mexican Legation, previous to the arrival of Senor Larrainzar. President Arista, in his communication, declares that Mexico will never consent to the opening of the Tehauntepec route by a foreign company. If the work is executed at all, says the Minister, it must bo by the Mexican Government. In taking this position, Mexico contemplates the contingency of war, but relies upon the aid of the English’ Gov ernment to maintain her declarations. New York Money Market, May 22.—The stock market was languid and feeble, this morning, and closed with a downward feeling. The sound and stable securities are firm. Virginia coupon 6s were in demand at 1113*2, an< l could not be* bought at that price. 112% was asked, and they were not offered at a less price.
