FROM THE CONNF.CTiCtTT PATRIOT.
THE SOLDIER’S FUNERAL
BY MISS RANDOM.
And the muffled drum rolled on the air;
Warriors with stately step were there :
On ovory arm was Muck crape bound,
Every carbine was turned to the ground ;
Solemn the sound of their measured tread,
As silent and slow they followed the dead.
The rideles horse was led in the rear,
There were white plumes waving o’er the bier,
Helmet and sword were laid on the pall,
For it was a soldier’s funeral
The soldier had stood on the battle plain,
Where every step was over the slain,
Bet the brand and ball had passed him lyy,
And he came to his native land to die.
•’Twas hard ro conic to that native land,
And not clasp some farmiliar hand!
’Twns hard to be numbered umid the dead,
Ere he could hear his welcome said!
But ’twas something to see its cliffs once more,
And to lay his bones on his own loved shore;
To think that the friends of his youth might
weep
,0’er the greCn grass turf of the rvldier’s sleep.
The bugle ceased the willing sound
As the coffin was lowered into the ground;
A volley was fired, a blessing said—
One moment’s pause—aud they left the dead !
I saw a poor and aged man,
His steps were feeble, his lip was Wunl
He knelt him down on the new raised mound,
His face was bowed on the cold damp ground,
He raised his head, his tears were done—
The father bad prayed o’er his only son.
THE DISTANT SHIP.
BV FELICIA HEMANS.
^he sea bird’s wing o’er ocean’s breast,
Shoots like a glancing star,
While the red radiance ot the west,
Spreads,kindling fast and far;
And yet that splendei wins tliee hot—
Ttiy still and thoughtful eye
Dwells but on one da k, and distant spot,
Of ail the main and sky.
Look round thee !—o’er the slumbering deep
A solemn glory broods ;
Afire bus touched the beacon steep,
Aud all the golden woods;
_A thousand geurgeous clouds on high
Burn with the amber light.
What spell trom the rich pageantry,
Chains down the gazing sight?
A chastening thought of human cares,
A feeling linked to earth !
Is not yon speck a bark, which bears
The loved of many a hearth?
O! do not hope and grief and fear,
Crowd her frail world even now,
And manhood’s prayer, and woman’s tear
Fellow her venturous prow ?
Bright are the floating clouds above,
The glittering seas btdow;
But we are bound by cords of love,
To kindred, weal and vo !
Therefore, amidst this wi le array,
Of glorious things and fair,
My soul is on the bark's lone way,
For human hearts are there.
Thc Pulse■—A case was lately admitted into
St. Thomas’ Hospital, London, which points out
the necessity of examiningthe pulse in both wrists.
The patient, (a man.) had received a severe con
tusion on the left side of the abdomen. The sur
geon finding the pulse of the left wTist so small
and weak as scarcely to be distinguishable.
Supposed that an internal bleedinsr had taken place
and cordials were in consequence freely exhibited
to keep up the vital functions. On the following
dav.the left pulse was in the same state, and o!>-
servino- symptoms indicative of increased action
ofthe head, fulness of the sanguifeious system
he examined the pulse in the right wrist, which
he found to be full, and beat with sueh foice.that
he lost no time in abstracting Mood. The left
3>nlse was not effected by the loss of blood, and
hontinaed very feeble when he had nearly recov
ered.
Anecdote founded on fact.—[n a small vilage in
the State of Georgia, a quarrel recently occurred
between two Frenchmen, one, a meagie little
physician, who looked as if he lived on his own
drugs—the other, a sturdy grocer, who. as a can
nibal. could have taken the liitle M. D. at a meal.
In the progres- of thedispute. the doctor, wrought
up to the sticking point amt as warm as a cata
plasm, exclaimed vehemently,“/will be dam if 1
no kill you''—to which the grocer replied, with a
non-chalance of the most ludicrous contrast. “No
Doctaire, I bo darn if you do,forl shall not em
ploy yon,"
Object of the Drama.—*The following
observations on the dramatic art, are
from the Edinburgh Review :
The real object of the drama is the ex
hibition of the human character. This,
we conceive, is no arbitrary eanon, ori
ginating in local and temporary associa
tions, like those which regulate the num
ber of acts in a play, or of syllables in a
line. It is the very essence of a species
of composition, in which every idea is
coloured by passing through the medium
oi'an imaginative mind. To this fundamen
tal law every other regulation is subordi
nate. The situations which most signal
ly (level ope character, form the best plot.
The mother-tongue of the passions is the
best style.
This principle, rightly understood, does
not debar the poet from any grace of com
position. There is no style in which some
man may not, under some circumstances,
express himself. There is therefore no
style which the drama rejects, none which
it does not occasionally require. It is in
the discernment of place, of time, and of
person, that-the inferior artists fail. The
brilliant rhodomontade of Mercutio, the
■’Jaborate declamation of Antony, are,
yherc Shakspeare has placed them, natu-
jal and pleasing. But Dryden would have
hade Mercutio challenge Tybalt, in hy-
lei boles as fanciful as those in which he
lescribes the chariot of Mab. Corneille
vould have represented Antony as scold-
ng and coaxing Cleopatra with all the
neasured rhetoric of a funeral oration
No writers have injured the Comedy
>f England so deeply as Congreve and
irteridan. Both were men of splendid
vit and polished taste. Unhappily they
yade all their characters in their own like
ness. Their works bear the same rela
tion to a legitimate drama which a trans
parency bears to a painting; no delicate
touches;—no hues imperceptibly fading
into each other;—the whole is lighted up
with an universal glare. Outlines and
tints are forgotten in the common blaze
which illuminates all. The flowers and
fruits of the intellect abound; but it is the
ahnudance of a jungle, not of a garden—
unwholesome, bewildering, unprofitable
from its very plenty, rank from its very
fragrance. Every fop, every boor, every
valpt, is a man of wit. The very butts
and dupes, Tattle, Urkwould, Puff, Acres
outshine the whole Hotel de Rambouillet.
To prove the whole system of this school
absurd, it is only necessary to apply the
test which dissolved the enehan'ed Flori-
m el!—to place the true by the false Thal
ia, to contrast the most celebrated char
acters which have been drawn by tbe wai
ters of whom we speak, with the Bastard
in King John, or the Nurse in Romeo and
Juliet. It was not surely from want of
wit that Shakspeare adopted so different a
manner. Benedick and Beatrice hrow
Mirabel and Millament into die shade.—
All the good sayings of the facetious hours
of Absolute and Surface might have been
clipped from the single character of F di
staff without being missed. It would have
bpen easy for that fertile mind tr -,
given Bartl-lpU and Shallow as much wH
as Prince Hal, and to have made Dog
berry ami Verges retort on each other in
sparkling epigrams. But he knew, to use
his own admirable language, that stub in
discriminate prodigality was from the pur
pose of playing, whose end, both at the
first and now, was, and's, to hold, as it
were, the mirror up to Nature,’
From the United States Gazette.
NEWSPAPERS.
In the hands of able independent, and
impartial conductors, they are a public
blessing. In the possession ot factious
politicians, cringing office hunters, and
p, ejudiced editors, they are a curse upon
the Country.
How many falsehoods are propagated,
through the medium of newspapers, inju
rious to the reputation of individuals, and
society I How many libels are hurled at
the heads of good and honest men, from
sheer resentment, and political rancor?
How .nany happy fire-sides, have been
disturbed;—how many domestic circles,
distressed, by the misrepresentations, and
calumnies of newspapers? Is the wretch
who stabs in the dark, with a pr'ess at his
command, more honorable, or less infa-
mous, than a midnight, or a highway rob
ber, with a pisiol at your brest, demanding
your purse?—The one, may take your
life—the other may rob you ol that, more
dear than life itself! ?
Newspapers circulate extensively in
many districts of the country, where pec
pie swallow their contents with avidity, on
the bare assertion of edito r s, or their coi-
respondents, having no means cf detect
ing falsehood,thus insidiously promulgated.
Party feeling, political animosities, and
ambitious designs, arc carried to such ex
tremes ef excitement, even at this calm
period of our national existence, as u
sicken and disguest the man of honor and
refinement. I would rather ponder over
a musty file of old newspapers, magazines
and port folio’s that I have read again,
and again, than be compelled to take up,
and read, the political vituperations,
and disgusting libels, circulated in some
of the newspapers of the present day, than
be compelled to travel over the crooked
path of defamation, or march in the ranks
of a military corps, to the tune ot office,

A press—one that distributes such food
to the publici as tends to nourish> aud in

and improve the taste, is a blessing that
ought to be countenanced, and supported,

PAMPAS OF BUENOS AYRES.
Tbe great plain of Pampas, over which
Captain Head travelled, reaches from
Buenos Avres to the Andes, 'covering a
space of about nine hundred miles. This
plain is intersected with rivers and streams,
which have their sources among the per
petual snows of the Andes, and empty
themselves into lakes in the interior, or
find thoir wav into the ocean through the
"real rivers Parana and R io do La Plata.
The regions of the Pampas arc inhabited
lay a scattered papulation of wild and war
like Indians in the Son'll, and of Gaocb s
a people of Spanish decent, in 'te nedd'e
and Nor'h. These plains are fertile, and
linger good agricultural management,

long grass, and low trees and shrubs. The
clover and riis'los commence '' Buenos
Avres, and pvtend one hundred and eigh
ty nvles: then succeeds 'lie long grass,
which preva’lsfour hundred and fifty nvles

cessively from a rich soil, grow to maturi
ty, wi’her, and decay.
There are two modes of travelling a-
cross »be Pampas, one in carriages of a
strong heavv construction, and the other
on horseback. A carriage is taken at
Buenos Ayres for the whole route, and
relays of horses are obtained on the wav
at post houses kept for the purpose by the
Gaucbos. These horses are commonly
ild and restive, but six or eight of them
are attached to the carriage, and each one
is ridden by a peon with enormous spurs,
goading the sides of tbe poor animal.—
They are thus all hurried forward at a
quick gallop, and the traveller is carried
apidly along from Buenos Ayres to Men
doza. The post houses are usually at a
suitable distance for exchanging, but in
some instances they are thirty, and never
fiftv miles apart. In these cases, the
Ganelins accompany the carriage with a
drove of horses, which are often changed
on the way. Capt. Head considers the
mod9 of travelling on horseback much the
more independent and expeditions, where
the traveller has strenght to endure ihe fa-

and is as follows—Not. hit.
GEN IRAL JACKSON’S STATEMENT.
Truth is mighty and shall prevail. Intrigue
and management, incapable of blind-folding the
virtuous yeomanry of my country, will fail ot
their ends; nor can they impose any other task on
me than that of defending myself" against their
imputations, whenever the authors choose to un
mask themselves—a task w hich I am always rea

“The case you allude to, might as well be as
cribed to the President of the United States, as

facts, I send them in a concise form.
“ In the year 1814, Col. Pipkin, at the head of
his drafted militia, was charged with the defence
of Fort Jackson, in tbe heart ofthe Creek nation
and within my Military District \\ liilst thus in

head of this mutiny, was a Mr. Harris, a Preach
er, and as my memory now serves me, ofthe Bap

stores, knocked out the heads of the flour barrels,
taking what he wanted, and destroying what he
pleased—proceeded then to the bake-house, and
set it on fire and marched offin open defiance ot
the Colonel, leaving the garrison without provis
ions, and so weakened by desertion, that it might
have fallen a sacrifice to the Indi ins. I was then
at Mobile. Informed of this mutiny and outrage
by express, l ordered the mntin ers and deser

head, after some time, were apprehended and
brought to Mobile in irons, after I had left there
for New-Orleans, and had charged General Win

country. Thev were tried by a court martial,
and condemned to die—five were shot, and the
