A banner from its flashing spear Flung out o’er many a fight; A war-cry ringing far and clear, And strong to turn the flight ; An arm that bravely bore the lance, On, for the holy shrine, A haughty heart and kingly glance— Chief! were not these things thine? A lofly place where leaders state Around the council board ; In festive halls a chair ofstate, When the blood red wine was pour'd ; A name that drew a prouder tone From herald, harp, and bard ; Surely these things were all thine own, 1 So hadst thou thy reward !

He woo'd a bright and burning star ! Thine was the void, the gloom, The straining eye that follow'd far His oft-receding plunte ; The heart sick listening while his steed Sent echoes on the breeze ; The pang—but when did fame take heed Os griefs obscure as these ? Thy silent and secluded hours, Through many a lonely day, While bending o’er tliv broider’d flowers, With spirit far away ; Thy weeping midnight prayers for him Who fought on Syrian plains ; Thy watchings till the torch grew dim, — These fill no minstrel strains.

Correspondence of the Alabama Journal. CAPTAIN McSPADDES, The Irisli Gentleman in Search of a Scliule. La Fayette, Ala., April 28, 1849. Gentlemen —ln the absence of every' thing to gossip about, I will endeavor to chalk out for your readers, a rough sketch of Captain Me- Spadden, an Irish gentlemau who visited our town, not long since, while on a pedestrian tour through the piney woods, in search of a location for a “bit ofa schule.” We were not looking for Captain McSpadden, lie came among us, unexpected, unannounced. Living fish sometimes drop from the clouds; and there is no particular reason why McSpadden might not have his entry in the same manner— for he was an odd sish —except that the weather was quite fair at the time : no vapor at all compe tent to the transportation of an Irishman weigh ing a hundred and odd pounds, havingbeen seeu for several days previously’, it was therefore presumed, (in the absence of the possession of any quadrupedal chattel by Mac,) that he was as aforesaid, on a pedestrian tour for amusement or business. Be this as it might, when first observ ed, the Captain was leaning against a tree at one corner of the public square. He had easier one arm, a pair of corduroy breeches ; under the other, an invalided boot. Mac himself was a thin “bit ova yathur,’’ with a light gray eye, white eye brows pnd deligate fair features. The restlessness of his glances and the convulsive twitches of his facial nerves, showed that the poor fellow was suffering from incipient delirium tremens. As old Tom Martin would say, he had “swullovitcd some monkey eggs, all along vvid his bithers, and they had hatched a brood of live ly young divils to kape him in company.” Mac's drapery was unique. He had on a mar vellously duty and ragged shirt, over which was a coat evidently cut for an individual much smaller than himself; the tvaist was just under his arms, while the extremity oftlie tail fell but a few inches below the small of the wearer’s hack. His pantaloons, mud-colorcd, were long waisted and short legged. On his left foot was the mate of the hoot under bis arm , his right foot was bare, and as red a* a licet. His silk hat had a turn up of the rim behind, and a mash-in of the crown hell.re, and the absence of all gloss and many indentations showed that it had been a hat of many sorrows. Still it had a jaunty, impudent air, that showed that Mac considered himself “one of ’em”—and as it perched itself over its ow ner's left eye, any one could see that it was a hat of “considerable character.” One of the Captain’s conceits was, that he was pursued by a woman who claimed to ho a rela tive, and demanded a provision for her support. With this distressing idea in his mind, Mac. leaned against a tree, as I have said, and address- MACOX, (GA.) SATLBDAY MOBXIKG, JLNL 23, 1549. ed, alternately a group of little boys that were standing around him, and his imaginary female persecutor. “Whist! —aisy now ! —be aisy ! —I tell ye,’’ he said, addressing the apnrition ; divil fly away wid the thing I have to give ye—for be the same token, its me oicn breakfast that I haven’t tasted the shmell ov yet, this blessed bright mornin'.” “Arrali, boys ! ’ this was to the youngsters ; “I II form ye into a nate little class, for sport, ye see. Come now, stand up there ! Be the Saints, I'd a jolly little schule, down below hcie Heads up ! an I'll flog the whole class for a musemenf, and niveracent for your allek-liun ate parints to pay.” The boys laughed, shouted, and broke ranks at this announcement ;*and Mac, scowling over his shoulder, again spoke to his feminine tormen tor as if in reply : “\Y ud I give ye a dollar to buy a dacint gown wid ?—ye say ! Be me sowl, an’its a nice word that dhropg so swato from yer mouth ! YVud I give ye a dollar ?—an’ wud a dog shaik hi* that had niver a stump to wag, at all, at all • “Avaunt and quit me sight— Thy bones are marrowless—thy blood is cold ! 1 There is no speculation in those eies Which thou dost glare with”—and,d-n ye be off! Just at this time, a huge, cross bull dog, (who no donbt felt an interest in remarks so personal to his species,) walked up to Mac, and nosed him most impertinently. The Captain squirmed round the tree, looking thunderbolts all the while and the bull dog followed, with still inquiring nose, and bristles all erect. “Begone ! ye baste ! It's Captain Bland Mc- Spadden, of the Royal Irish Greys, that’s now willing to tache a dozen or so ov young gentle men, arithmetic and manners, at two dollars the year—begone ! “Danger knows full well McSpadden is more dangerous than he. We were two lions, (by St. Pathrick it’s thrue ?) lithered ill one day, And I the cider and more terrible !” But the dog was merciful ; and on concluding his examination, merely held up one hind leg significantly—as much as to say “ that for you !” arid walked away. “Captain McSpadden,” said a bystander, as Mac vainly assayed to set himself properly upon his legs, “haven’t you been crowding drinks, mightily, of late—rather pressing the figure— ~ I. I»> Bland looked around, and his eye fell on a full, handsome, judicial-looking personage : “Did I understand,” replied Mac— ''did I un derstand yer Honor to say, wud / tali a glass of whiskey wid ye ?" “By ho means," was the reply ; “but here’s a dime to buy yourself something to eat.” “To ate, yer Honor ? an’ me a dyin’ wid the cholery ? Bedad, it’s the physic I'm afther, to dri the bloody faaml out ov me system wid !” ••Did you ever have the cholera, Mac ?” “Ilu ! ha !” laughed Mac—“did iver I have the cholery ? Did a fish swim ?

Mac threw himself into a tragic attitude, and drawing down his white eye-brows, until they overhung the tip of his little red nose, he ex claimed, “Hath a dog monies > Is it possible that a cur can lend threwthousand ducats? Holy fathers! I’ve but a bit ova kine (coin) here, but the phy sic I must have, to be sure ! Wud ye tell me whare I cud get a bit ova schule to tache as thronomy and Shaikspair and manners, all for two dollars a quarther ?” “D—n your duckets and your ‘schule’ too,” replied Tap ; “hand over a picayune.” Mac handed over the money, and drank his whiskey ; and just as he was replacing the tum bler on the board, the female spectre peered over bis shoulder, and he dropped the glass aud broke it. “Shadders avaunt!” shouted the Captain— “Trny, Blanche and Sweetheart, little dogs and all”—sick ’em boys ! Hoot, aw ay, ye ugly fa male witch ! I’ve the cholery, I tell ye, an'it’s ketchin’ enthirely !” “You’ve broken my tumbler,’’ said Tap, com plainingly. “Shake not thy gaury locks at me; thou canst BOtsay / did it,’’ replied the Captain ; “it was the sha divil that’s lazin' the soul out ov me body.” “Did you ever teach school >” asked Mr. Tap, as McSpadden floundered into a chair. “Did liter? Did the blessed Saint iver kill shnakes? Why, man, I’d a delightful little schule below here—fifteen or twenty’s as many boys as a wakely crathur, like mesi If, can do his duty by the Hoggin’ ov, and *lic to hale the big hoys wid a stout shillaly—an’ 1 was (achin' ’em illigint : and ye may kiss the cross the lit tle darlints loved me inthirely ; but it got broke up be an exident, be gorra.” “How came that ?” “Ye’ll take notice, I was dozin’ in me chair one swate afihernoon, dhramin’ away all about nothin’, an’ the little darlints that loved me as moiher’s milk—for I tachcd ’em arethmetic an’ nsthronomv an’ manners nil, illigint—the little darlints, ye see, put a quill full ov snuffinto me nosthril, all for the fun. Holy Pathrick ! but I was in thruhble wid the snazin’ an’ cryin’ an’ sputterin ; an’ the little darlints all so tickled wid the sport. So, as sunc as me eyes come to, I tak the biggest ov the hoys by the heels, in thirely, and I flogged the whole schule wid his heqd an’ shoulders an’ arms. Be gorra, they roared, an’ we kept up the sport an’ the fun, till divil the sound head was in the schule, barrin’ me own, an’ that was full ov snuff.” “Then the parents dtove you off?" 1 “Fnlx! They bate me away,” said Mac sor rowfully ; “the ign'rant spalpeens, that cauldri’t understhand a joke !” “But,” he continued, “the divil’s been in it, iver since I lost my commisshun in the Royal Greys ” “Let s bear ’boutthat,” said an honest enqui rer after timth, ns he sat lazily back, in his chair, with bis broad-brimmed bat between iiis knees —“let’s hear about that.” “I'll tell ye in a mmit,” replied Mac, —“I'm monsthrous dry.” «• 1 his objection to the narration having been re moved by a halftumbler of “corn corjil,” Mac proceeded as follows, Broadbrim resting his face on bis bands, in an attitude of deep attention : “Ye’ll notice, quoth the Captain, “I’d a com pany in the Royal Greys—ye’ve heard of the Royal Greys, belikes ?no ?—thin I’ll tell ye, ’twits the clanest, natest, gintailest coor in the kingdom, an’ its moself was the aquil ov the best in it. So one day, we’d a grate ravu, an’ the Quane wasout, an’ Prince Albert(may his sowl rest in purgathory, amen !) in her carriage to see it” “Did you ever see the Queen of England ?” asked Broadbrim, as in doubt. “Did / iver see the Quane ? Did you ever put a petatie in the ugly hole in yer face ? So the Quane was out, as fine as q flower, to see the ravu. By an’ by, the Juke of Willi nton conies to me, an’ ses lie, “Mac, the Quane has kitcht a sight ov yer good looks, and wants ye to present yesclf before her. Tliair’s luck for ye, me boy’ —and ihe Juke slapped rue on ihe shouldhers.” “Was it the great Duke of Wellington, you’re talking about ? Did you know him ?” “No less, he the cross ! The Juke an* me was as inthimit as brothers; so we went to where the royal carliz was, an' thair was her majesty, in the royal carriage, as lively as bricks and full ov lun. Ses she, ‘Captain McSpadden ye’ve n fine company !' ‘Yer most grnshus and airnyable majesty !’ Ses I, gettin’ upon me knaas.” “W udn’tye like a hit ov promoshun, Captain McSpadden?” says her majesty, “Yer most adorable'majesty has guessed the sacrit of me heart, ses I.” “Its the best-lookin’ Itfd, ye are, Captain,” said her majesty, “I’ve seen this season.” “I shall be at charges for a lookin’ glass, yer most heavenly majesty, since yer majesty ses so ; but its little the advantage I have ov vnr most grnshus majesty, in regard of looks,-cs I.” “That last shot did the his’ness for the Quane, hut tne Prince, ye'll notice, was as savidge as a tiger, judgin’ be his looks.

' KI’JIBEII 30. THE CONQX'EST OP PERI'. The following graphic description of sn inte resting event in history is from the pen of Mr. William H. Prescott. It will no doubt be read with interest, at the present time. It was not long before sun set, when the van of the royal procession entered the gates of the city. First came some hundreds of the employed to clear the path from every obstacle, and singing songs of triumphs as they came, “which in our ears,” says one ofthe conquerors, “Bounded liko the songs of hell !” Then followed other bodies of different ranks, and dressed in different liveries. Some woro a showy stuff, checkered, white and red, like the squares of a chess-board. Others were clad in pure white, bearing hammers or tnaces of silver or copper ; and the guards, together with lliose in immediate attendance on the Prince, were distinguished by a rich nzure livery, and a pro fusion of gay ornaments, while the largo pen dants attached to the cars indicated the Peruvi an noble. Elevated high above his vassal* came the Inca Atahuallpa, borne on a sedan or open litter, on which was a sort of throne made of massive gold, of inestimable value. The palanquin was lined with the richly colored plumes of tropical birds, and studded with shining plates of gold and sil ver. The monarch's attiro was much richer than on the preceding evening. Round his neck was suspended a collar of emeralds of un common size and brilliancy. His short hair was decorated with golden ornaments, and the imperial borla encircled his temples. The bear ing ofthe Inca was sedate and dignified : and from bis lofty station lie looked down on the multitudes below with an air of composure, like one accustomed to command. As the leading files of tiie procession entered the great square, larger, says an old chronicler, than any square in Spain, they opened to the right and left for the royal retinue to pass. The monarch was permitted to traverse the plaza in silence, and not a Spaniard was to be seen’.— When some five or six thousand of his people had entered the place, Atahuallpa halted, and turning round with an inquiring look, demand ed— • “Where are the strangers?” Atthis moment, Fray Nicfente tie Valverde, a Dominican friar, Pizarro’s chaplain, and after ward Bishop of Cuzco, came forward with his breviary, or, as other accounts say, a Bible, in one hand, and a crucifix in the other, and ap proaching the Inca, told him that he came by order of his commander, to expound to him the doctrines of the true faith, for which purpose the Spaniards had come from a great distance to his country. The friar then explained, as clearly as he could, the mysterious doctrine of the Trinity, and, ascending high in iiis account, began with the creation ofman, tiience passed to his subse quent redemption hy Jesus Christ, to the cruci fixion, ami the ascension, when the Savior left the Apostle as his Vicegerent upon earth. This power had been transmitted.to the suc cessors of the Apostle, good and wise men, who, under the title of Popes, held authority over all powers and potentates on earth. One of the last of these Popes hud commissioned the Spanish Emperor, the most mighty monarch in the world, to conquer and convert the natives in this Western hemisphere ; and his General, Francisco Pizarro, had now come to execute this imporrant mission. Tho friar concluded with beseeching the Peru vian monarch to receive him kindly ; to abjure the errors of his own faith, and embrace that of the Christians row proffered to him, the only one by which he could hope for salvation ; and furthermore, to acknowledge himself a tributary, oftlie Emperor Charles the Fifth, who, in that event, would aid and protect him as bis loyal vassal. Whether Ataliuallpa possessed himself of ev ery link in the curious chain of argument by which the monk connected Pizarro with St. Pe ter, may be doubted. It is certain, however, that he must have had very incorrect notions of the Trinity, if, as Garcilasso states, the inter preter Feiipillo explained it by saying, that the “Christians believed in three Gods and one God, and that made four.” But there is no j doubt he perfectly comprehended that the drift of the discourse was to persuade him to resign his sceptre and acknowledge the supremacy of another. \ The eyes of the Indian monarch fltfshed fire, and his dark brow grew darker as he replied— “l will be no man's tributary. I am greater than any prince upon earth. Your emperor may be a great prince ; Ido not doubt it, when I see that he has sent his subjects so far across the wa ters, and I am willing to hold him as a brother. As for tho Pope of whom you talk, he must bo crazy to spoak of giving away countries which do not belong to him. For my faith,” lie con" tinued, “I will not change it. Your own God, as you say, was put to death by the very men lie created. But mine,” lie concluded, pointing to his Deity—then, alas! sinking in glory be hind the mountains, —“my God still lives in the heavens, and looks down on his children.” He then demanded of Valverde by what au thority he had said tnese things. The friar poin.ed to the hook which he held as his author ity. Ataliuallpa, taking it, turned over the pa ges a moment, then, as the insult he had re ceived, probably flashed across his ntind, he threw it down with vehemence, and exclaimed, “Tell your comrades that they shall give me an account of their doings in my land. I will not got from here till they have full satisfaction for alf the wrongs they havecnin mitted.''

The friar, greatly scandalized by the indigoi. ty offered to the sacred volume, stayed only to pick it up, and hastening to Pizarro, informed bin. of what had been done, exclaiming— “Do yon not see, that while we stand here wasting our breath in talking with this dog, full of pride as be is, the field are filling with In dians ? Set on, at once : I absolve you.” Pizarro saw that the hour had come. lie waved a white scarf in the air*, the appointed signal. Tire fatal gun was fired from the for tress. Then, springing into the square, the Spanish captain and his followers shouted the old war-cry of “St. Jago and at them." It was answered by the battle-cry of every Spaniard in the city, as rushing from the ave nues of the great hall* in which they were con cealed, they peuved into the plaza, horse and foot, each in his own dark column, and threw themselves into the midst ofthe Indian crowd. The latter, taken by surprise, stunned by the report of artillery and muskets, the echoes of which reverberated like thunder from the sur rounding buildings, and blinded by the smoke which rolled in sulphurous volumes along the Fquare, were seized with a panic. They knew not whither to fly for refuge from the coming ruin. Nobles and commoners—all were tram pled down under the fierce charge of the caval ry, who dealt their blows right and left, without sparing; while their swords, flashing through the thick gloom, carried dismay into the heart* ofthe wretched natives, who now, for the first l ime, saw the horse and his rider in all their terrors. They made no resistance, as, indeed, they had no weapons with which to make it. Every avenue of escape was closed, for the entrance to the square was choked up with the dead bodies of men who had perished in vain efforts to fly ; and such was the agony of the survivors under the terrible pressure of their assailants, that a , large body of Indians, by their convulsive strag gles, burst through the wail of stone and dried clay which formed part of the boundary of the plaza. It fell, leaving an opening of more than a hundred paces, through which multitudes now found their way into the country, still hotly pursued by the cavalry, who, leaping the fallen rubbish, hung on the rear of the fugitives, stri king them down in all directions. Meanwhile the fight, or rather massacre, con tinued hot around the Inca, whose person was the great object ofthe assault. His faithful no bles, rallying about him, threw themselves in the way of the assailants, and strove, by tear ing them from their saddles, or, at least, by of fering their own bosotn as a mark of their ven geance, to shield their beloyed master. It is said by some authorities, that they car ried weapons concealed under their clothes. If so, it availed them little, as it is not pretended that they used them. But the most timid ani mal will defend itself when at bay. That thoy did not so in the present instance, is proof that they had no weapons to use. Y'etthey still con tinned to force back the cavaliers, clinging to their horses with dying grasp, and as one was cut down, nnother taking the place of his fallen comrade with a loyally truly affecting. The Indian monarch, stunned and bewilder ed, saw his faithful subjects falling around him without fully comprehending his situation. The litter on which he rode moved to and fro, as the mighty press swayed backwards and for wards ; and he gazed on the overwhelming ru in, like some forlorn mariner, who, tossed about in his bark by the furious elements, sees the lightning s flash and hears the thunder bursting around him with the consciousness that he can do nothing to avert his fate. At length weary with the work of destruction, the Spaniards, as the shades of evening grew deeper, felt afraid that the royal prize might, af ter all, elude them; and some of the cavaliers made a desperale attempt to end the affray at once, by taking Atahuallpa's life. But Pizarro who was nearest his person, called out with stentorian voice, “Let no one, who values his life, strike at ths Inca - ’’ And stretching out liis arm to shield him, re ceived a wound on the hand from one of hi* own men, the only wound received by a Span iard in the action. The struggle now became fiercer than eyer round the royal litter. It reeled more and more, and at length several ofthe nobles who support ed it having been slain, it was overturned, and the Indian Prince would have come with vio lence to the ground, had not his fall been bro ken by the efforts of Pizarro and some other of the cavaliers, who caught him in their arms.— The imperial borla was instantly snatched from his temples by a soldier named Estete, and the unhappy monarch, strongly secured, was re moved to a neighboring building, where he wts carefully guarded. All attempt at resistance now ceased. The fate of the Inoa soon spread over town and coun try. The charm that might have held the Pe ruvians together was dissolved. Every man thought only of his own safety. Even the sol diery encamped on the adjacent fields took the alarm, and learning the fatal tidings, were seen flying in every direction before their pursuers, who, in the heat of triumph, showed no touch of mercy. At length night more pitiful than man, threw her friendly mantle over the fugitives, and the scattered troops of Pizarro rallied once more at the sound ofthe trumpet in the bloody square of Caxamalca. The number of slain is reported, as usual, with great discrepancy. Pizarro’s secretary says two thousand natives fell. A descendant ofthe Incas—a safer authority than Garcilasso —sweP* the number to ten thousand.
