On a green mossy knoll, by tiie banka of the brook Thai ao l6ng and ao often baa watered his flock, The old farmer recta In his long and last aloep, While the wnteru a low, lapsing lullaby keep; He haa plowed bla last furrow, baa reaped his last grai n ; No morn shall awake him to labor again. The blue bird sings sweet on the gay maple bough Its warbling oft cheered him while holding the plow; And the robin above him hop light on tho mould. For be'fed them with crumbs when tho season wna cold; Ifc has plowed his Inst furrow, has reaped his last grain ; No mom shall awake him to labor again. Yon tree that with fragrance is filling the air, Ho rich with its blossoms, so thrifty and fair, lly his own bnnd was pianti d, and well did he say, Jt would live When its planter had mouldered away; He has plowed his last furrow, lias reaped his last grain; No morn shall awake liim to laber again. There's the well that be dug, with its water so cold, With its wet dripping bucket, ao mossy and old. No more from its depths by the patriarchs drawn, For the “ pitcher is broken"—tho old man is gone I He hnB plowed his last furrow, has reaped his last grain ; No morn shall awako him to labor again. And the reat where he eat by his own cottage door, In the still summer eves, when hie labors were o’er, With his eye on the moon, and his pipe in hishand Dispensing his truth like a sage ot the land, A lie has plowed his last furrow, has reaped his last grain; No morn shall awake him to labor again. 'Twns n gloom-giving day when the old farmer died: Tho stout hearted mourned, the affectionate cried : And the prayers ofthe just tor his rest did ascend, For they nil lost h brother, a man, and a friend; He hus plowed bis last furrow, has reaped his last grain ;. No mom shall awake him to labor again. For upright and lioucst the old farmer was ; His God Ho revered, he respected the laws ; Though tameless he lived, he has gone where his worth Will outshine, like pure gold, nil the dross of this earth ; He lias plowed bis last furrow, has reaped his last grain; No mom shall awake him to labor again. Gill, Mass. j, d, c. CongreHaional Proceeding's. The House of Representatives, on Tuesday, took up and passed the bill abolishing the slave trade in tho District of Columbia, without discussion, by the decisive vote of 124 yens, to 47 nays.

A motion to lay the bill oil the Tuble was also rejected—yeas 50 nays 120. The fol lowing are the ayes and noes on the final vote.

The bill granting land to Illinois, Mississippi, and Alabama, to aid in the construction «fa railroad from Chicago to Mobile, was tinullypass- ed and sent to the Senate. Mr. Harris, of Illinois, mode a movement to intro duce Ahnon A. Babbitt as a delegate from Utah; but, on the motion of Mr.Asbmun, the whole subject was laid upon the tuble. On motion of Mr. Bayly. the House resolved itself IntoCommitte ofthe whole, and entered upon the consideration ofthe bill providing for the further ex ecution ofthe treaty with Mexico, by making an ap propriation of $3,3<i0,000 to pnythe instalment due to that government on the 31st May, 1850, which after u protracted debate was liually passed—yeas 128— nays 30. Among the ayes will be found a goodly number of southern border votes, but no votes from north of Mn son and Dixon's Line are to be found among the noes. The bill appropriating a large body of laud to the Illinois and Alabama Railroad, was also passed. In tho Senate, the bill granting land in Oregon to actual settlers was passed to a third rending, A Washington letter writer speaking of this bill, and the discussion which took place upon it, says: Among its provisions is ono granting 640 acres of land to the settlers in the Territory previous to the passage of this act, and 320 acres to such as shall set tle within three years thereafter. The main discus sion was on an amendment proposing to restrict the benefits of the latter provision to American citizens. After a long debate, the amendment wub negatived, and the bill ordered to a third reading. Thus every clais and condition of foreigners, Europeans, Chi nese, Mexicans, &c„ arc invited to settle in our Ter ritories, with their goods and chattels, and induce ments hold out to them by donations of large tracts of the public lands, while the citizens of tho Southern States, by whose blood and treasure they were acquir ed, are absolutely and perpetually excluded there from. In the Senate on Wednesday. Mr. Chase introduc ed his bill to provide for the prohibition of slavery in tbe Territories of tho United States. Me. Clay deprecated the renewal of the agitation of this subject ot a time when the country was be coming calm. ' Sir. Hale said the agitation would never cease, and had not been checked. Mr. Chase justified his course, but withdrew tho bill for the present. - Mr Pratt’9 bill to punish the abduction of slaves from this District, and subject the free- colored pop ulation of the District to legal restraints, was taken up. Mr. Hale moved to commit it, with instructions to wneud it tie as to provide for abolishing slavery in Chit District. After wrap debate, this motion was lost—yess8, nays41—as folloi.s: “■-Yea-*—Baldwin, Chase, Davis, of Mass., Dodge,of Wi*., Ewing, Hale, Hamlin,Seward, Winthrop—9. •■.Journalism in Washington.

Melancholly Infanticide.—A most melancholly oc currence transpired some seven mile* from tills place on the evening of Monday, the 2d inst. A married lady, «ome 24 years of ago, and the mother of four children, had boon the subject ofill-health more or lesi, for several months previously; and upon the dBy referred to, after having prepared the dinnerlbr the family as usual, she was seized with violent ma nia, and as is usual in such cases, perpetrated many wild and incoherent extravagances, which we have no time now to detail, nor is it necessary, as we are promised an account of the whole affair by the med ical gentleman whofe attendance was invited on the occasion. Suffice it to iay. that the unfortunate mo ther found opporlunity to get hold of her third child, a fine boy, about two and a half years old, and by eomo means or other not yet knowu, but without in flicting any external wound, succeeded in tearing from Ilia body, between five and six feet, or about one third ot the intestinal tube, which she deposited under the bed clothes upon a bed in the room, where it was nfterwurds found. In this awful condition tho child was found, some half hour afterwards. It lin gered in great agony until the next day, when us we understand, death released it from its terrible condi tion. We have not learned precisely whnt number of hours it survived the injury—but it must have been some sixteen or more. The lady was attended after the dreadful occur rence bad transpired, by our townsman. Dr. G. W. Foute, and wearehappy to learn through his indefati gable exertions and skill, reason was restord by the next morning. Whether her happy restoration will remain permanentor n-t remains to lie seen. She wns at our last advices saneand awfully sensible of the hor rid deed the had perpetrated. Her condition is truly pitiable.—Grctncille (Tenn.) Spy, 5th inst. 31 on do y Morning, .September 23, 1850. Largest Circulatiou in the City!! The Union, Past and Future—How it works and how to save it—By a citizen of Virginia—A few copies of this pamphlet have been left at this office for gratuitous distribution. It is a truly able pro duction, and should he read by every true friend of the union and the South. Death of a Citizen. We regret to announce the death of Dominick O’Bybne, Esq., which took place at his residence in this city, on Saturday eveuing last. Mr. O’Bvbne lias been a resident of Savannah for upwards «f forty years, and during thnt period has always maintained a high character as a worthy citi zen, and an upright man. He has frequently served the city in the capacity of Alderman, and whs a mem ber of the present Board. This is thefirst instance m our city for a period of upwards of twenty-five years, of an Alderman dying while holding office. His disease was consumption, and it is but a few wepks since that he returned from the North, whither he had gone intbellopeof recovering his health. But the destroyer had fixed its hold too firmly upon him, no medical skill could arrest the progress of his dis ease, and lie wns only permitted to return to this city to die nmong his kindred and friends, of whom he leaves n large eircle to lament his loss. His funeral took place yesterduy afternoon, nnd was attended by the city officers, the Hibernian So ciety, of which he was a member, and an unusually large concourse of citizens. [ yr 1 ' Owing to the industry of our compositors, and the crowded state of our columns with adver tisements, various articles of interesting miscellany, in type, are necessarily laid over. Return of Missionaries. The Rev. J, G. Bin- ney and Indy from Mauimnin, came passengers in the ship Arab from Calcutta which left thnt port mi the 13th April and reached Boston on Tuesday. Mr. Binney was formerly pastor of the First Bap tist Church in this city. tT-T 1 Jenny Lind is expected to sing in Bnlti. more oil the nights of the 27tn and 30th. A dispatch from Baiinum had bpen received authorizing his agent to engago the Front Street Theatre for three "York; “ 1_ ' ” — Jenny Lind’s Third Concert There seems to be no abatement of the Jenny Lind excitement in N. York. Tile Express saya thnt the third concert on Tuesday night was no doubt attended by a greater number of people than ever gathered under a roof in Americn. When the Funeral Solemnities of Men delssohn were celebrated in the same place, it wns thought to be an estimate within the bounds thnttcn thousand people were present. The editor is of opinion that there were more at Jenny Linde third concert than at the Mondelssohn Obsequies. The en tire body of the house was crammed, the galleries were jummed, end the outside balcony, overlooking the water, was crowded. Nor was that all. Thereof of tho balcony wns crowded with people, who look ed in at the skylights, enjoying the performances ap parently as well as the rest. Boats filled with listen- ers clustered around the pnrapet of the Castle, and there was an uncommonly good attendance at tho ad joining baths. The bill was an uncommonly rich one. Mile. Jenny Lind wns great: greater than ever. The Calhoun Statue, The persons engaged in rttempting to recover the statue of Mr. Calhoun from the wreck of the Elizabeth, are constructing it coffer dam, to obviate the difficulty at present expe. rienced from tile washing of the sand, at the place where the box had been discovered. Sanguine hopes are entertained that the Statue will be recovered. From the African Squadron.—A loiter receiv. ed at Norfolk, from on board the U. 8. brig Perry, dated St. Paul de Loando, June 12th states the start- ling fact that the ship Martha of New York,sent home as a prize to the Perry under the command of 1st Lieut. Rush, was. when captured, completely fitted for the slave trade, and wns standing in direct for a slave station. In less than twenty-four hours she would have been on her passage to South America with tiro thousand slaves on board. Washington Irving at Home.—A writer in the- Boston Transcript says :—1 had the pleasure of cu • countering my old friend Washington Irving, at Put nam’s literary head quarters yesterday. The author of the Sketch Book looks younger than he did ten years ago. The new edition of his works is having a great sale, and he is still busy with his pen. In the quiet shades of Tarry town, on the very edge of the waters of the Hudson, lie divides his time between his friends of the past and of the present—between books and visitors. Long may be live to continue the pleasant companionship! Philadelphia Consolidation Meeting, At Philadelphia, on Monday evening, a grent mass meet ing was held in the county courtroom, at which the Hon. Wm. M. Meredith, late Secretary ot the Trea sury, presided, assisted by about eighty vice presi dents, the object ot which was to procure a union of the city and districts under one municipal govern ment with the hope of putting a stop to the disgrace- ful and bloody riots that have become of almost every day occurrence in the districts A series of resolu tions were adopted urging on the legislature un early action in the matter. Correspondence of the Dai Morning Hews. New-Yik, 8cpl- 16, 1850. The arrlvnl of a real Turk, b causal some liltlv ditersouof public attention Irolhegnat topic ot the day—the talents and virtues f Jen'iy Lind; but neither a veritable Turk, even ere lif accompanied by his Harem—nor even a liveord jl'or Lord Elgin arrived here on Saturday,) cn excje mucli more than a passing remark. The tith isfthat the people begin to discover the secret ofennfs extraordina ry popularity, why every class ooknpon her with admuration, and even Royalty quit her friendship. It is’nt that she sings as no othetwflnnn ever sang, but that she possesses qualities nidi no other vocal ist ever possessed. She seems tefnsider her pecu liar talent as entrusted to her fa tie benefit of her fellow creatures; indeed, we wild almost be led to believe that she was sent to cnii on a divine mis sion, for like the great teacherd Christians, she is "continually going about doinjood." Amin Bey. the Turkish Env< referred to above, is a fine looking man, in the pne of life—the only real Turkish article of dress wares, is tile turbuii —the coat and pnntalons are < European cut; being of the naval fashion—he in cnptuiu in the Tur kish imvy.

Democracy has patched tl rent that existed in the body, but I don’t think it vl stand long, nor do I believe they have the least lance of electing their candidates, for free-soilism.bolition, Van Huron and ilunkerism cannot amnlgiinte. Though "Prince John" was admitted into ih convention, and partial ly controlled its pr®eedin| it will exert no influ- ence upon it great portion (the party ; nnd have no binding effect. There is ndoubt that if the strength of the democratic party boolled, they have elwuys a majority in the ciiy ol Nv York und in the state, and they are foolish nuto unite to ensure suc cess, but it is a faetthahe name of Van Buren isjbateful to a large nutier, und the truckling to "John” in the conventiunhns but served to increuse their disgust.

Late accounts from California state that a serious riot had occurred in Sacramento City, in which Mayor Bigelow was badly wounded. Tbe City Assessor killed, and many others killed and wounded on both sides. A despatch had been sent to San Francisco for troops. The cause of tho dispute was the im prisonment of some squatters, when sixty of their comrades combined together and went to the prison ships and released them. The assailant* afterwards swelled to eight hundred. They threatened to burn tlie city, which it is said they did. The Governor had proclaimed martial law. The riot was subse quently quelled. We think a year or two of territorial tutelage would not have tmm hurtful te such population. We learn from the Augusta Republic thnt an unfortunate occurrence took place in Lincoln coun ty, aboutseven miles below the court house, on Sat urday the 14th inst. Dr. John W. Wightman, (tor- merly resident of Augusta) had on that day attended court in Park’s district, and was returning home in company witli one or two others, when he was vio lently assaulted, and received a stab in the left side just below the ribs, from one of the assailing party The purty was composed of Buck Jeter, and his four sons, Austin, Ezekiel,William, and Oliver: the last named inflicted the wound. Thefirst four were immediately arrested; Oliver returned to Carolina, but was captured and brought back on last Monday The Jeters hud all been arrested and committed to jail. Dr. Wightman was lying very low, but hopes where entertained of his recovering. The diflicul ty wns in consequence of a law suit whicli Dr. Wightman had gained against the elder Jeter. gr . appears to have become rather popular. The crops have been nearly alj harvested nnd it is now confidently asserted that there will lie at least an average crop of grain and thnt the potato crop is much sounder than wns anticipated.

Ireland.—The Repeal ngitution has been ngnm re vived by O'Connell, hut the attempt proves almost all abortion. The Irish Tenant League, for the en forcement of tenant rights, is beginning to attract considerable attention in both England and Ireland and all parties are fully imbressed with the necessi ty of plucing the law of Ismilord and tenunt on a more equitable footing than it hus been. Results of the" Harvest. As the gathering of the crops progresses—it is notv nearly completed in sever al southern and midland counties, and in the vicinity of Dublin—the accounts are becoming much more satisfactory, even in regard to wheat, which had been described ns un extremely deficient crop, espe cially in the greut wheat growing districts nf Carlow, Kilkenny, and Louth. From Rosstrevor, Ballycastle, Coleraine, and other places in the north ; nnd trom iiaudon, Cork, and Clonmel ill the aouth, accounts very nearly as satisfactory have been received. The result of all the accounts is, tbut an abundant harvest may now he reckoned upon. The Sea Serpent Again. Tee sea serpent lias made his appearance off Cork. A Mr. Travers, who was out yachting, saw hi in rubbing his scales against the bencon on the Barrel rocks, and fired at him with a rifle, when he leaped 30 fathoms out of the water, and instantly disappeared The scales whiehhe left upon the beacon are preserved, and may be seen at the Horse-ruck-coaat-guard station. His eyes ware ob served to be of immense size, about nine inches a- cross the ball. All the fish ill Courtmnslierry Bay had been driven ashore by him for some duys previ ously.

India and China. «Col. King, of the 14th Light In fantry, had commited suicide in consequence of the cominnnder-iii-chief having pnrdoned one of the men of the Colonel's regiment who accused him of being a coward. Considerable activity prevailed in the cotton mar ket at Bombay. Trade was improving in both Canton and Hong- Kong. The Texas Honda. The passage of the Texas Bill, giving Texas ten millions of dollars, renders the state of her debt at the present moment an interesting question. The following is the latest nnd most authentic statement, which we glean from the Philadelphia Evening Bui- Tho laws of Texas authorize three loans. The first law ot the 18th November, 1836, of $5,000,000 on a pledge of the public faith and the proceeds ofthe P“b!ic lands. The second by an net of the 16tliMay, 1838, for $5,000,000, at ldper cent on a pledge of the public faith. The third by an act of the 22d Jan. 1839, of $1,000,000, at 8 per cent, on a pledge of the customs and duties on imports for the payment of the principal and interest. In June, 1837, Texas passed an act to consolidate the debt, and then found its amount $8,000,000 This act pledges the revenue from imports and direct tax ation for the prompt payment of tile interest. A report showing the state of tho public debt was published under the authority ofthe Legislature of 1 e-raa, the let ol January, 1848. By this statement her domestic debt on that day stood thus: Audited drafts $267384 40 1 reasury notes 2,553,941 00 Eight per cent bonds 809,800 00 Funded debt... 1,675.800 00 Interest on liabilities 2 539 221 *>1 Unaudited claims " l’,060,000 00 PASSENGERS Per steamer Gen-Clinch, Cnm ra, „ ton—Miss Clarke, Mrs Martin m "' frr ’™ Kinsey, Mia* Martin, Master Kin.,,,!'* i ner, Groom, Eighles, CUke, <> E jM? ‘ri, Or Hill, Bezn, S M Fltishman, T 1 ” 0B ’ CL, pby,,Jno Iluhni'd, T Wofolks and m' grues.Guilinurtin Burnham, Solom,“N % Donnald, A Auger, J Dennard, C C Am «t * 24 (iji deck. crr l raidludj Per atenmer Ivanhoe, from Palatk.

A Washington correspon dent of the N. Y. Herald, says— Already we nre satisfied that tho free soil fuction will rally upon:— 1. The abolition of slavery in this District. 2. The proviso for the territories. 3. And tlie repeal ot the Fugitive Slave bill. Shackling ns this platform may appear, it will an swer their purposes of agiution; and of controlling many ol the Northern elections; especially with the land reform movement ot Mr. Walker, ns a mnke-weight, and with the further addition of tlie war upon South Carolina for the imprisonment of Northern colored seamen entering her ports. This agitation will very probably run ‘along to the next Presidential election, and dividu the North in the canvass Again, with the present democratic major ity in the Sena e, increased by two votes witli the ad mission of California, we sec no prospect of a mod ideation ot the Tariff Act of ’-16, this side of the next Presidential campaign, which postponement will bring the tariff actively into the canvass. But, again, there is every reason to believe that tlie acqui sition ot Cuba as a elave stute will become the lead ing question of 1852. if some sudden relation docs not anticipate the making it a political element in the election. Among all these issues, there is a lair held tor a scrub race for the next Presidency. JF 3 At a meeting of the citizens of Charleston to adoptmeansfor promoting the purity of elections, held un tho 18th inst., a resolution embracing tlie following pledge was adopted : "The undersigned will vote for no candidate for any oflice of honor, profit, or trust, who shall, di rectly or indirectly, bargain, trade, or canvass for votes, by the gilt of money, meat, or drink, or who snail contribute, or give countenance by any other means, to the corruption ot the elective franchise.” The example is worthy of imitation every where, The Hem Cuban Movement. The Norfolk Herald 01 Mondny, pays : “A rumor is in circulation upon our streets to-day, apparently not without foundation, to the effect that vnuttier Cuban Expedition is on the tapis, more ex- tensive in its organization and appointments than any ol its illustrious predecessors. Seven thousand men it is said,are already .enlisted in the cause, with tlie means and appliances, That our Government is al ready on the yui vive.nnd that orders have been dis patched to Boston.
