By Miss Alice Cary. Vainly, vainly, memory seeks Round our father’s knee, Laughing oyos and rosy cheeks ’ Where they used to be; Of the circle once so wide, Three are wanderers, three have died Golden-haired and dewy-eyed, Brattling all the day, Wus the baby, first that died; O ’twas hard to lay Dimpled hand and cheek of snow In the gra ve so dark and low! Smiling back on all who smiled, Ne’er by sorrow thralled, Half a woman, half a child, Was the next God called! .Then a gravo more deep and wide Made they by tho baby’s side. When or where the other died Only heaven can tell; Treading manhood’s path of pride Was he when he fell; Haply thistles, blue and red. Bloom about his lonesome bed. I am for the living three Only left to pray; T wo are on the stormy sea. Farther still than they, Wanders one, hisyoung heart dim, Oftenest, most, I pray for him. Whatsoe'er they do or dare, Wheresoe’er they roam, Have them, Father, in thy care, Guidffthem safely home; Home, O Father in the sk.y, Where none wander, and none die, 77ie Fatal Secret.—An aged man, without an enemy in the world, in his own house, and in his own bed, is made the victim of a butcherly murder, for mere pay. Deep-sleep had fallen on the des tined victim, and on all beneath his roof. A healthful old man, to whom sleep was sweet, the first sound slumbers of the dight held him in their soft but strong embrace. The assassin enters, through the window already prepared, into an unoccupied department. With noiseless foot he paces the lonely ball, halt lighted by the moon; he winds up the ascent of the- stairs, and reaches the door of the cham ber. Of this, he moves the lock, by soft and continued pressure, till it turns on its hinges without noise; and he enters, and *3re in^hTndgrbTurhood duTing die great law of heaven by shedding man’s blood, seldom succeed in avoiding dis covery. Especially, in a case exciting so much attention as this, discovery must come and'wfll come sooner or later, A thousand eyes turned at once to explore every thing, every circumstance, connec ted with the time and place; a thousand ears catch every whisper; a thousand excited minds intensely dwell on the scepe shedding all their light, and ready to kindle the slighest circumstance into a blaze of discovery. Meantime, the guil ty soul cannot keep its own secret. It is false to itself; or rather it feels an irresisti ble impulse of conscience to be true to it self. It labors under its guilty possession and knows not what to do with it. The human heart was not made for the residence of such an inhabitant. It finds itself preyed on by a torment which it dares not acknowledge tb God or man. A villture is devouring it, and.it can ask no sympathy or assistance, either from heaven or earth. The secret which the murderer possesses soon comes to pos sess him; and. like the evil spirits of which we read, it overcomes him, and leads him whithersoever it will. He feels it beating at his heart, rising to his throat and demanding disclosure. He thinks the whole world sees it in his face, reads it in his eyes, and almost hears its working in the very silence of his thoughts. It has become his master. It betrays his discretion, it breaks down his courage, it conquers his prudence. When suspi cion from without begins to embarrass him, the fatal secret struggles with still greater violence to burst forth. It must be confessed, it will be confessed; and there is no refuge from confession bu t suicide, and suicide is confession.—Dan_ iel Webster. ■ From the Houston (Texas) Telegraph. The Wild Woman cf the Navidad. About a year since an account was published Jn the Victoria Advocate res pecting a strange creature, whose tracks had -been-digeovered on the banks of the Navidad, near Texana. The footmarks of this creature resembled those of a wo man, and a report was circulated to the effect that a wild woman had made her retreat in the forests of the Navidad. Within a few weeks several attempts have been nutde’to capture this singular being. Mr. Glascock pursued it for several days with dogs,and at onetime approached so near it as to cast a lasso upon its shoul ders. It, however, with great adroitness eluded the snare, and fled to a dense thicket, where it could not be traced. Mr. Glascock states that he was near a small prairie enclosed by the border forests of the river; when the creature emerged from the woods, and ran across the prairie in full view. It was about five feet high, resembling a human being, but covered with hair of reddish brown color. It its hand it held a stick about six feet long, which it flourished from side to side, as if to regulate its motions, and aid it when running at full speed. Its head and neck are covered with very long hair, which streamed backward in the wind. It ran with the speed of a deer, and was soon out of sight. The dogs pursued it, and came so close upon it at small creek, that it was compelled to drop*its stick, which was taken by its pursuers. This stick is about six feet long straight and smooth as if polished with glass, Several other persons have re peatedly seen the creature, and they all concur in representing it as a human be ing, but so covered with shaggy hair as to resemble an ourang outang. It has frequently approached the houses of the The Winnebago Indians,—This tribe is said to be returning to Wisconsin, whence they were removed a short time eince. The Prairie du Chien Patriot, of the 16Lh January, says :— “Several citizens from Black River, Prairie la Cross and Mount Trunipolo, called upon us on Saturday last, and represented that at the pr.esent time over 1,000 Winebago Indians are on- Black River and vicinity, in tho north-, ern part of this county, having left their de signated homo on the Crow Wing. ’. “They have actually starved out, and have returned to Wisconsin in pursuit of game. Their appearance and conduct is in every way hostile to tho whites, and they declare they will kill every white man in the country be fore they will leave their old favorite hunting grounds. Tho famous chief ‘Dandy,’ and his band, are among the number ; and ho together with ‘Littlp Hill,’ tho noted orator of the tribe, are daily haranguing their warriors with war speeches, and stimulating them to resist, witli the tomahawk and gun, any attempt that may be made to disturb them.” An intelligent gentleman fiom California es timates the amount of gold shipriBl at the mines at $30,000,000 for the yoar l B49. Ho supposes that not more than one tim'd of the amount dug finds its way to the United States, Oregon receives a great, deal which is sent back there by her laboring people. Chili also receives vast sums, and England^ also. A great quanity of gold also remains injthe coun- This calculation does not includd the gold shipped since the' 1st of January, find if we add only the amount that has arrived at New Orleans and New York by the late arrivals, we swell tho sum to nearly $33,000,000. The California staple is almost as valuable as that of the South.

This preparation is a highly Concentrated Ex tract, containing all the Active Medicinal Prop erties of the Conyza, (commonly known as Black Root,) and the Stillingia, oi Queen’s Delight. These plants have been long since used among our Southern Negroes and in empyrical practice, with the happiest results, in cuses of Chornic Rheumatism, Ulcers of long standing, and Sec ondary Syphilis. It is much superior to nny pre parations of Sarsuparilln as an alterative, being more active and prompt in its ’operation on the system. These factB have induced tho subscrib ers to present to the attention of Physicians a preparation prepared according to strict Chemi- eul and Parmaceutical science, devoid of all the feculent and inert parts of the roots, not doubt ing that it will supersede the unscientific and crude preparations hitherto used.

The face of the innocent sleeper was turned from the murderer, and the beams of the moon, resting on the gray locks of his aged temple, showed him where to strike. The fatal blow is given! and the victim passes, without a struggle or motion, from the repose of sleep to the repose of death! It is the assassin’s pur pose to make supe work; and he yet plies the dagger, though it was obvious that, life had been destroyed by the blow ol the bludgeon. He even raised the aged arm, -that he may not fail in his aim at the heart, and replaces it again over the wounds of the poniard! To finish the picture, he explores the wrist for the pulse! He ieeis*for it, and ascertains that it beats no longer 1 It is accomplished. T he deed is done. He retreats, retraces his steps to the window, passes out through it as he came in, and escapes. He has done the murder—no eye has seen him, no ear has heard him. The secretes his own, and it is safe ! Ah! gentlemen, that was a dreadful mistake. Such a secret can be safe fto where. The whole creation of God has neither nook nor corner, where the guilty can bestow it, and say it is safe. Not to “Peak of that eye which glances through jl. I disguises, and beholds every thing, as $|Sin the splendor of noon, such secrets of *weuilt are never safe from detection, even ® en ’ True it is, generally speaking, [mat murder will out.” True it is, that I ^ rovj dence has so ordained, and doth 90 j govern things, that those who break the night, and stole various articles; among other things it carried off a quantity of towel, one or two books, and has also taken several pigs. One of its nests was found in the forest, in which were severals napkins, folded up just as they were taken. A bill for washing was al so enclosed in the Bible. The footmarks of this strange being have often been traced in the bottom oT the Navidad, but it has eluded all attempts to capture it. The old settlers in that section say that these loot-marks have been noticed for ten or twelve years, and that several years ago there -were other foot-marks, indicating that three of these creatures were in company. Within the last year the foot-marks of only one have been no ticed. Mr. Glascock intends to collect a pack of good hounds and resume the pursuit, and he is confident that he will succeed in capturing it. Strike of the St. Louis Moulders.—On the 23d ult., the moulders of St. Louis turned out, to the number of one hundred and fifty, and matched in a procession through the city with a display of banners and flags, and preceded by a hand of music. On one of the banners was inscribed the following words:—-‘No reduction in prices. Moulders in St. Louis never sur render. In union there is strength.” They are resisting an attempt to reduce their wages. Texas Sugar.—The wboje amount of suzars received a7 New Origans from Texas, from the first of September lost to the 12th uU-, wax 734 hogsheads, and of molasses 1,243 barrels, which is said to be not one half the crop. ment in 1824, is. 4663. The whole number in the House on tho first day of January, 1849, was 355 ; there was received during the year, 308; Making a total in 1849, 653;. the number remaining on the 1st of January, 1850, is 338; leaving the number disposed of during the year 1849, 320. * The receipts during the year w*s $25,117- 11—ballanco due at the close of the previous year, $362,02. The disbursements wore $24,- 527 80; leaving a balance dub. tho society on the 2d of Jan. last, $951 33. The United States Armories.—We learn from an official document that the total expen diture for the support of the Armories during last fiscal year, was as follows : Springfield Armory - - • - $261,475 15 Harper’s Ferry 237,227 56 The expense for improvement in the armo ries were $115,495 66, and for lands purchas ed $14 958 87. The cost of altering flint locks to percus sion was $14,057 16. The arms manufactured were as follows : At Harper’s Ferry-rifles, 1,920, muskets, 8,305; At Springfield—muskets, 15,215. Machine Reporting.—The Scientific Ame rican says that Mr. Fail-bank, of Cattaraugus co., New Ybrk, has invented a machine for re porting and printing speeches by characters representing sounds or words, by changes wrought upon moveable types. The machine is constructed with finger keys, upon which the operator ploys in the maimer of striking the keys of a Piano forte, whereby the char acters designed to express the given sound are impressed upon the moveable sheet of paper. Thfe paper is moved on a carriage worked by the foot, while the hands are moving the keys’ We sawin Baltimore a Somewhat Similar ma chine which had been invented by Mr. Eddy of thatcity. By the aid of this machine, the oper ator is enabled to print a letter with ordinary type in much less time than it could be written. The printing when executed looked very like ordinary letter press printing. Growth of Western Cities.—It is esti mated that Cincinnati will show a population of 125,000, and St. Louis one of 70,000, by the census of 1850. The suburbs of either city, which practically form a part of it, are not in cluded. BERNARD MARLON. References.—Rev. J. T. Robert; Rev. H. O.Wyer. PROSPECTUS OF THE DAILY MORNING NEWS, An Independent Commercial and News Paper., Ml be Published in the City of Savannah. BY JOHN M CObPER, EDITED BY W. T. THOMPSON, Author of “ Mbjor Jones’ Courtship" “Chronicles of PinevUle*• Sketches of Travel " 4*0- fyc. Experience has proven both the practicability and usefulness of the penny Press. Within the few years past all the Northern and Eastern cities, as well as most of those South and West of us, have been sup plied with papers of this description, whose small di mensions enable their publishers tb issue them at a price so low as to place them within the reach uf alt, and thus to make them the bestmediums for the gen eral diffusion of information on ^all subjects bearing upon the interests of community. By cheapening the Press, all have been participants in its benefits, while the nublishers and conductors, by a greatly increased patron age, have been made amply remunerated i or their expenditure of capital and labdr. Believing that the growing prosperity of Savannah authorizes, and that her interests demand the estab lishment of a cheap commercial^ud news medium, we have determined to publish, the Daily Mornfiig News as nearly as possible upon the plan of the penny Press of the Northern cities. The Morning News will be emphatically a Com mercial Naospapcr, devoted to the diffusion of useful information op all subjects of popular interest, and to the advancement of City and State interests, gener ally ; preserving at all times a strictly neutral and independent position in regard to Politics and Parties. Arrangements have been made for giving the paper all the facilities enjoyed by the best Daily Papers, and no pains will bp spared to make it satisfactory in all its departments, and to give it the character of a res pectable, useful, and reliable Journal. In view of tli? 9 eat advantages which must result to the citizens ana businessman from the establishment of such a paper in Savannah, we feel that we m^y ask and safely count upon a liberal support.
