Now Ship I, nunc lied.
We tako peculiar pleasure in noticing tho
launch of tho lino ship E. Z., launched on Satur
day afternoon last from tho ship yard of Messrs.
Barclay & Townsend, at Hoboken,
Mr. Barclay is well known in this community
as the son of Anthony Barclay, Esq., II. B. M.
Consul at New York. Disregarding the tempta
tions which too often surround those young men
who, from birth and fortune.look upon the life of
a mechanic as inferior to their station, Air. Bar
clay voluntarily bocamo apprenticed to Air. Webb,
of New York, and having Bcrvod his term with
honor,can now with tho indopeiidontsinileofa skil
ful mechanic, repel the silly taunts of those early
companions who may havo snued at his determi
nation to bo an Atnorican mechanic, and to earn
a name for himself, while ho contributed to tho
commercial prosperity of the laud of his birth.
We are pleased to know that Air. Bar
clay is not tho only nativo youth of our city
who ho9 put oil tho armour of a personal inde
pendence, and while too many sock tlio doubtful
paths of professional lifo, crowded by anxious as
pirants, living on hopo deferred, has embarked in
a calling which will muko him more respected, in
asmuch as ho will by bis industry contribute to the
public good.
Wo have ill our eye two more at least of our
Savannah hoys, mow young men, who have turn
ed aside from the medical office and tiie counting
house, the pursuits of their respective pnronts,
and seized tho axe with which to carvo out thu
beautiful ships of their country’s marine, and
achiovo, us btiicrs before them, thu fume of ac
complished shipbuilders.
Two others of our young men, brothers, de
termined to bo proficients in thu science of machi
nery, have bcon acquiring that knowledge which
would qualify them to bo hailed ns accomplished
machinists. Thu heart sympathizes with tho be-
rcuved parents, at tlio recent intelligence thut
one of these youths, flushed with tho pride of an
intelligent mind, and filial devotion, has been ar
rested ill his independent enruor, by that deadly
fever, which too ofton crushes the hopes of the
parent and tho child,while man less worthy live to
repine thut theirs is not the aspiration of a per
sonal independence wrought out by unwearied
application.
Man, but thoy arc growing loss in number, are
too apt to sneer at tho mechanic, os if man can
blush at a calling which tho great AIeciianic of tho
Universe stamped with especial favor.
His own—his divine son was not only clothed
with the garb of humanity, blit he was even an
humble carpenter. And yet a mechanic is by
somo deemed unworthy of association with the
1 magnates of the land.
What individual possessing the Sonins of an
Eckford or a Rhodes would cxchanga it for the
tinsullcd glories of a rent-roll, which lend to the
idle dissipations of fashionaldu life, or to be the
ephemeral flower around which sport the butter
flies of tho earth. Every youth, in our opinion,
should he taught somo trade, for without such
knowledge, he is more or less dependant upon
the freaks of fortune. “Riches havo wings" is an
adage as trite as it is truc,nud with the cxporicncc
oflifobeforons, who would not, when the flood
of misfortune ortho firo of adversity sweeps away
human hopes, wish, sincerely wish that he too
were a mechanic. The progress of our country
in the scale of nations—tlio march of mind on the
laud ntid on the water, is hastened by the improve
ments developed in the mechanic arts. Who can
gaze upon the magnificent Washington on tlm
water, or upon her mutu or coadjutor—the Her
man, first upon for stocks,and thou by the magic of
the mechanic art, gliding from her sent upon the
laud to her home upon tlio waters-—who cun
look upon, with curious eye, the power of
mechanism to raise tlio ocean steamer from her
cloment, and conquering tho conqueror of the
sens, to repair her shattered frame and restore her
anew to the oceuu ware, made uguiu secure ainl
seaworthy for her freight of living men, without
admiring thoso who arc proud of being the me
chanics of our day.
Who can observe the power of the steam en
gine, not only impelling the massy vessel with
speed through the waters, hut successfully com
batting the mountuin wave and the furious gale,
without being lost in wonder at that intelligent
mind which lias wrought out machinery so com
plicated, yet so perfectly simple, as by obeying
the power of steam, to annihilate space, and rd-
veal to the eye of commerce, nations and people
Imt little known. Look too ut tho benefit to the
human race conferred by machinery in manufac
tures, in preparing tho tree of the forest for tho
ship-wright and house-carpenter, and in all those
uses to which it is applied, and the glory of tlio
Bar eclipses not tho glory of the Mechanic, who
has contributed to these results.
We speak not hero of the Press, without which
tho mind would bn clipped of those wings, ena
bling it to take its eagle (light, audio soar beyond
those confines, from which the Art of Printing re
leased it. .
. Us prison house has been demolished and
the light df science, like the light of Uie solar
system, pierces into the hovels of the poor man,
as it irradiates the palaces of the wealthy.
A writer has truthfully observed:—"Mechan
ics are the palace-builders of the world; not a stick
is hewn, not a stone shaped, in all tho lordly dwol-
ingsof the rich,that does not owe its beauty and fit
ness to the mechanic's skil!;the towering spires that
raise their giddy heights among the clouds, depend
upon tho mechanic’s art for their strength and
symmetry. Not an edifice for devotion, for
business, or comfort,but boars tho impress ofthoir
handiwork. Ilow exalted is their railing—how sub-
From tho Now Orleans DotU of tho 17th IniL
From Ilnvnim.
By the brig Titi, Capt. Allison, which arrivod
yesterday, wo havo rccoivod our regular files of
Havana papers, which contain somo interes
ting intelligence.
In tlio Diario De la Marina of tho 2dth ult, wo
find Inter nows from Venozueln,Ne\vGronada and
Ecuador. Tho ulato of VouozUola, which had
lately bcon the llicatro of revolutionary disturb
ances, has boon comparatively tranquilizcd, al
though tho fires of insurrection are not yot entirely
extinguished. Tho Prosidont Gen. Mouagas
had given considerable dissatisfaction by some un
popular appointments. Somo considerable |ex-
citouiont had been caused by the discovery ofa de
falcation of$18,500 in thoLagunyracustomhouse.
Now Granada appoars to bo in a vory flourish
ing condition. Its Prosidont General Mosqucra
loft Bogota on tho last of July, ou a visit to tho
Southern Proviuccs, in order, by his prenonce,
to uncotirugo tlio different companies formed in
that section for intornal improvement. His tour
was to occupy five months. It is said, by El Lib
eral, of Carnccas, that no President of any South
Americon Republic ever enjoyed grontor popu
larity, or labored more zealously to introduce use
ful reforms, than Gen. Alosqitora. In tlio sumo
paper, (El Liberal), wo find republished an order
admitting into I'uorto Espatia, Island of Trinidad,
nil foreign morcliaiidiHO, at tho niodoriito duty of
throe percent. Tho city of Pumpatar and the
Venezuelan ports in tho islands of tho Bocasdel
Toro, and the territory of San Amlrns, are do-
clurod freo ports. Thoso are striking instances of
the progress of freo trade principles.
Tho news from Ecuador is less satisfactory. El
Liberal remarks thut evonts scorn to indicate a
speedy revolution; adding, that tho family of Goti.
Floros is reduced to extremo distress. Tho in
surrectionary movement is in favor of the lust
named person.
On the 22d of June, the government issued a
dccroo, ordering precautionary measures against
those persons expelled the country, and who had
assembled ill large numbers in the Provinco of
Tuqucrros. Tho property of the said disaffected
persons was commanded to be suquestruted, in
order to supply funds to meet the extraordinary
expenses of government.
In respect to Aloxicati affairs, wo find nothing
later in the Havana papers than has previously
been received horo. In a letter from the city of
Alcxico, in the Diario dc la Hubanu, we find tlio
following paragraphs, which seem to confirm the
suspicion entertained by Gen. Scott in one of
his gcnornl orders:
“The Mexicans, before leaving, had liberated
and distributed arms to about 101)9 criminals, bo-
tween whom and the Americans there immediate
ly commenced a conflict, which continued until
the IGth, and during which mnny ou both sides
wore killed and wounded. Tho greater part of
the houses situatod in the suburbs were sacked.-—
It is also certain thut Gou. Herrera has marched-
Gen. Santa Anna has gone to Oujuca, probably
with thu intention uf proceeding to Gautcmulu,
with tho infantry to Q.ucretarn, in order to collect
at thut placo tho troops which are stationed ut
Sau Luis, Durango. Zacatocsis, and Guadalajara.
During tho month of September there had oc
curred iu the city of Havunu, 59 cases of yellow
fever, of which not ono terminated fatally. For
tho same time in 1840, thoro were 808 coses, anil
43 deaths. Throughout tho island, tho whole
number of cases was, for tho same time 285.
The following is tho result of the last drawing
of the Havana Lottery, on tho 2dinst.:
No. 8337, $30,000; No. 22,079, $10,000; No.
5596, $12,000; No. 5510, $0000; Nos. 851,0853,
10201, 24522, each $2000; Nos. 9871, 10950,
15018, 24100, 21910, 28823, 29970, 33045, each
$1000.
Launch—Tho Charleston Courier of tho 21st.
hist, says;—A barque ofubottt2Q0 tons burthen,
was launched, yesterday afternoon, from tho ship
yard ofAIessrs. Kirkwood &Knox, on Gadsden’s
wharf. A large concourse of pursous assembled
to witness the spcctucle. She was built for Alussrs.
Iludloy & Street, is culled tlio Harriet &
AInrtha, and is, we understand, to be commanded
by Cupt. Charles Leslie, who was long and favor
ably known astliu gentlemanly commander of the
brig .Magnolia, another vessel belonging to this
house.
The Epidemic.—The New Orleans Delta of 17lh
inst. says;—The yollow fever still lingers among
us. Though daily dragging its victims to the
grave, it is gradually liecoming less fatal, ns a com-
parLun of tho list of interments for tho week just
past with that of tho one preceding it will show.
The decrease is considerable, being seventeen.
It is to be hoped that it will shortly altogether dis
appear. Until it does wo should consider it
highly imprudent for persons who are uuaccli-
mated to come to the city. Experience tenches
us that nothing but a frost can extirpate the dis
ease; until we have ouo, the dictates of prudence
admonish all who have not undergone the process
ofucclimation to keep away from tho city.

} uoqupi4r*vAgiyqfctito; 1 following account of
tliq operations at And about CUapultopeo, ou tho
12tltaitti 13ffi^ to tho Minister or War:
Excellent J}ir -rHavlng to givq you, and tho na
tion an aepbunt of the occurrence <2 tho fortross
ofChapultopdc. Which wu under mychnrgo.l
am under tho painful necessity Of doing it in tho
present note, which, as you will see, hi ohly roln*
tivo to the unfortunate days of thd 12th and 13th
instant, during which time I had tlio exeluslvo
command—as -yoinvoU know all tho operations
t iroyious to thut tjmo were diroctod by lus Excel-
enoy tlio President, General-in-Chief, Don Air
tomo Lopez do Santa Anna.
Ou tlio oftonioon of tlio lltli tho enomy took
possession of tlio house called Aloliuo del Roy,
which borders tlio woods of Chapultcnoc, on the
wostsido, which movement plainly inaicatod tlioir
intention ofattacking in that quarter, as it was
natural to suppose. thoy could liavo no other in
ro-taking possession of tho points thoy abandon
ed in thu aftoniouu of the 8th. This indicated
likewise Uie necessity, on our pUrt, of unending
to tho dofonco of the wood, ns on tlio preserva
tion of it depended that of tho fortress, for without
it the garrison would have boon deprived of all
assistance, and would even 'have boon in need of
water, which was obtained from there.
Tho forces which I had under my command on
tho morning of tho 12th amounted, according to
tho onclosod account, to 832 man, distributed in
the manner therein stated, mid ton pieces of artil
lery, throe of heavy calibre, fivo smaller, aud two
mountain howitzers, alt sunpliod with fuU ammu
nition and artillery won. Oftho said forces thoro
woro 367 men to keep tho lower points and roads
of tlio hill, and tlio -rest keep tlio highest. The
fortifications ofllw building had hardly commenc
ed, and tlio. fort protected by wood-work, was too
feeblo torosist tho artillery oftho enemy. In this
state of nflairs, the enemy commenced firing on us
at hnlfpast 6 o’clock ou tlio morning of tlm 12th,
tiireo batteries,situated, ono at the hacienda defroin,
la Condosn, another near tho Ar/obis pudo dc
Tacubayn, and tho third un the hills of Alolinodul
Roy. Tlioir firo continued without intermission
until half-past 7 nt night. Thoir diflurent projec
tiles, superior to ours, did not cause much dam
age at first, owing to tho badness of thoir aim-
hut on rectifying their aim, the edifice Buffered
much und the garrison considerably lessened iu
killed, wounded mid hurt. Among the latter was
tlio esteemed and faithful Gun. Don Nicolas Sal
dana. This firing was only answered by throe
of our largo pieces, tlio carriage for u fourth not
having been scut from the citadel as hud been re
quested by mo.
During this day, two aid-de-campR from his Ex
cellency thu President, mid one from your Excel
lency, woro soiit to mo to know and to ascertain
if I needed any assistance in defending tho for
tress. Aly only answer to his Excellency was,
dial one or two bnttalious should ho Rent to me,
io he stationed ill thu wood to support thu small
f tree scattered about in it. The active battalion
of San Bins, under tho command ofits Crl. Xico-
toncatl, was sent, but was recalled in tho even
ing by his Excellency, the President, without giv
ing mo,or tho chiufpho had chnrgo oftho position
any notico whatever. Uctweun o und 7 at night,
another message from tho President wus received,
which induced mu to go down to the gate ofRas-
trillo, and see him in person. IIu tliere told me
thut lie had already recalled a battalion of Sun
Bias, and gave mo orders to withdraw tlio small
force they had supported, as his Excellency was
determined to ahundon that position, aud defend
tho height alone. Your Excellency is aware of
the observations I made in opposition to that reso
lution, and that tho olfnct they had induced tho
President to concur with me that it was necessary
to keep the woods at every risk, lie then offered
to solid mo another battalion that very night, in
order to maintain the position iu tlio wood, and
reinforce tho garrison should they need it. I in
sisted on tho necessity ofits being promptly done,
slating to his Excellency that, with the troops then
there, it was, impossible to puss it, us the battalion
from Toluca hail nearly all deserted, ami tiiat the
sinnll force remaining had lost ull moral courage,
from the effects oftho tiring on that day. But tlio
President concluded by stating tiiat he would not
send them immediately, as lie did not wish to con
centrate too large a body of troops in tho fortress,
and thus presont n greater body to the power of
tho enoifiy’s projectiles—assuring mo, ho 1
that we wouiu bo succored in time.
Tlio battalion offered was not seut; atul this
obliged me to dismembor tho force I had guard
ing tho heights to augment with 100 men that
which was sustaining tlio point below, und with
162 tho outer works of the fortress, with orders
to return to thu fortress in case of attack by a su
perior force. By this means, the forco that was
stationed in tho woods was composed of21o men;
374 kept thu advance or outer works, und 243 the
fortress.
During tho night the desertions confined,though
in less number. The garrison of the outer works
likewise diminished, and of ull the battalion from
Tolncy, which, when I received it, amounted to
450 men, there only remained 27 men and thu
officers, D. Isiuro Cardenas, D. Juliana Alolinu
D. Manuel Jimenez, D. Jose Alaria Romero, 1)
Juan Estrada, D. Jose Alaria Cortes, and D. An
gel Colina; tliurofqro, at daylight on the 18th I
only counted a little over 200 men iu tho princi
pal part of the fortress to resist the ussuult of
three of tho enemy’s columns, 3500 to 4000
strong; and even many of thoso few were so
demoralized by the fatal uxamplc of thoir compan
ions and that of some of the officers, that they at
tempted light in such a degree as to make it
necessary to fire upon Anverul of them who were
seen letting themselves down from the top of tlio
building.
In view of this difficult position, and knowing
that the enemy would’ commence tho assault im
mediately, judging by tho activity ofthoir (ires,
which they recommenced nt Imli-past 5 ill the
morning, 1 directed you, one hour nllor my note
oftho 13th, in which I stated the .direction of the
troop and tho absoluto necessity of my being re
inforced with a dilforunl kind of soldiers, or oth
erwise it would be impossible to defend the fort
ress, and that my responsibility would cense from
that moment. Tho Aid-de-Camp who took this
note returned to the fortress and told me that he
Imd delivered tho note into your hands, having
found you with his Excellency, the President,
who also road tho note,'at tho house of Alfaro.
Seeing that tho time was passing on, that tho
enemy had commenced moving his columns nud
tho help required did not arrive-*-in spite of my
fourth note of that morning,and the repeated of
fers of thu President to soud two thousand men
to tho fortross in time of need—aud knowing that
Gen. Rangel’s hrigadu was near the fort—1 scut

To his oxaellcncy the Minister df Wur ahd Ma

A, Frost.—'Tho N. O. Picayune of tho 17th inst
says:—-With great pleasure we announce to our
distant readers tlio advent of cooler weather.
The night of Wednesday last there was n slight
frost iu the country round about the city. Thurs
day night scorned yet cooler, but in consequence
oftho prevalence ofn high wind no frost was per
ceived. Friday night a decided white frost cov
ered the country in tho neighborhood oftho city,
and wo lmd tho coldest weather of the soason.
As wo write, the night again promises !o bo cool.
This succession of cool weather wo are iu great
oopos will diminish essentially the ravages of the
yellow fever. Wo Irnvo not a gdoubt that our
friends in tho North by the time this paragraph
reaches them, may push on home ns fust ns they
please with impunity. We understand thnt tlio
Board of Health, which meets to-morrow, will
havo a proposition submitted to it recommending
friends at a distance to return at once. Occasional
cases of yellow fever will occur probably till Jan
uary, but n succession of such weather as that
which now blesses us will effectually arrest an
epidemic.
A Washington lettor in the N. Y. Herald states
that all file eighteen million loan is paid in except
about $1,000,000, which, added to $2,000,000 in
tho treasury, will give Air. Walker $6,000,000 for
the current expenses to December, iu addition to
current receipts.
The steamship Hibernia, Capt. Ryric, sailed
from Bonton Saturday noon, lur Liverpool, via
I!alifrx,with80pap«eng«r* for the former and 10
forthe latter port. 8he carried out $50,927 in
specie.
At 9 iu the morning tho columns of the enemy,
protected by un active fire from the artillery, com
menced entering the woods ou tho side of Aloliuo
del Roy, and advancing by tho Tucubaya road.
The weakness of the force* that covered the abun
dant trenches towards the wood—forces that had
been diminished by desertions the night beftrejet
the uueiny advance with slight obstacles and take
possession of tlio outer works—it being proper to
observe hero tiiat the troops who imd been beaten
at these points did not full buck on the fortress
ordered.
The hill being completely fiirrounded by the
enemy, they charged their greatest forco on tho
west sido, which is the easiest of access, and for
which reason wc imd propnred some minus, the
scent of which was possessed by the Engineer, D.
Alanuel Aleman, who had been instructed to blow
them up when ordered; but this officer, although
he lmd been particularly charged not to leavo the
place whore lie was to receive my orders on any
account whatever, did net comply* and when he
was sought for at the critical moment could not
be found, und hence thu prepured mines were uf
no uvuil.and the enemy lmd this great obstacle out
of the way. This circumstanco, on the ono hand
and t)ie large uiunber of the enemy on tlio other,
and the want of all'help aud the fulling back of
the troops that defended the outer works, spread
terror amount.the ,artillery men who hau not
been wounded, aud.they lied from their guns, and
confusion shortly'domumhicuted to the few sol
diers who lmd repiuined so that no earthly effort
could contain them uud make the ene»«v ! -
triumph dourer to him.
The enemy, however, sustained a proportion
ate loss to tho resistance that was made, and thro'
it, and tlio rememberaiico, without doubt, of thnt
thoy experienced in the action of tho 8th—the re
sult of which had considerably disheartened his
troops—he was seen to vacillate in the assault,
notwithstanding the smallness of our fires uml
the advantages lie had gained. Therefore it can
be assured, thut with a nttlo more help in the way
of reinforcements, with which wo could have pro
longed the defence for somo titno, tho oiiomy,
bcaton, would hayo returned to his camp iu Tu-
cubayn to put in execution tho retreat which a
few days heroic it was reported had been deter
mined upon.
More Troops,—Somo eight or ton companies of
tho new Kentucky volunteers Woro mustored into
service at tho encampment near Louisville, on tho
4th irtst., by Capt. Whiting, U. 8. A. AH tlio
companies of the two regiments were iu camp!
excopt two which rendezvous nt Siuithlnnd. The
troops arc to leave in twenty days from file titno
thoy are mustered in.
Tho Cincinnati Commercial, of a Iato date,
states tiiat upwards of six hundred troops wore
thou at Nowport barracks, and several detach-
inouts wore cxpocted from Zanusville, Lancaster
and oilier places.

The 8*vnmmh Bible Society.
Mr. Editor :—l trust it wHl uot bo deuitldci an
intrusion for mo to employ your paper as tlio rno-
dium (br colling tlio attention oftho religions por
tion of this community to tlio ubovo named soci
ety. Tho question has of late hoen asked—Is
tho Savannah Biblo Society still in existence,
nnd no ono scorns prepared to return a satisfac
tory answer! If I am correctly informed but ono
regular meeting has been held of this Society
Within tlio last eighteen mtinths. The Rev. Dr.
Pierce (who has bcon actively engaged in ostub-
lisliing auxiliary societies in tbo Stato) bus twice
visited the city for the special purpose of commu
nicating with tlio parent Society but was disap
pointed in his expectations. When lost here a
meeting was indeed culled but so few of thu mem
bers responded to tlio cnll that nothing could be
dortt*. I ednttot blit regard it us disreputable that
iu a community liko this, where tliero are to be
foil ud such a large nuinbar of professing Christians,
so little interest is manifested in so holy a cause.
Surely if we realty value the Bible—if wc regard
it as the source of religious light and liberty—
and if \ve profess to have experienced its hallow
ing influences, we ought to be moro activo iu its
circulation. The Biblo is tho text book of tho
Uhristinn, and if we desire to seo ottr fellow citi
zens throughout tho State, virtuous as well us
prosperous, we must endeavor to place this pre
cious volume iu the hands of those who ure desti
tute of it. I trust therefore that immediate steps
will bo taken to rovivo tho Society. Wo may
shortly expect another visit from Dr. Piorco, ami
let us bo prepared to receive him. Lot it not he
said that whilst the auxiliary Societies are active
ly employed, we’ lmvc "a name to live, but are
dead.” A.

From tlm Now York Evening Poatof the IFih inst.
• Launch at Hoboken.—On Saturday afternoon,
atlmlf past one o’clock, the time appointed, the
fine ship E. Z. was launched from the ship yard,
of Alcssrs Barclay & Townsend, at Hoboken.—
Tho novelty ofa launch at this place, and the in
terest felt in this community for the success of this
young and enterprising firm, drew together a ve
ry largocoucoursc ofpoople, both from New Jer
sey and this city. All tho shore in tho vicinity of
tho yard was lined with spectators to witness the
scene, nor were they disappointed, for a more
easy, nnd graceful launch of a ship into its des-
lined element wo have never soon. The ship be
ing full rigged with the exception of her lower
yards, made nil imposing appearance, and when
floating iu the stream she seemed as buoyant as
n thing of life. The E. Z. is 14*Hcct in length,
32 ill breadth and 22 in depth, nnd measures about
800 tons. Although built for the carrying trudu,
her proportions arc very graceful, and if wo are
deceived she will prove n fust sailor, for few
not deceived she will prove a fast sailor, for
vessels have a finer run than this ship. She is
owned by Messrs. Zcrega & Co., aud will be
commanded by Captain Hartshorn, formerly of
the Victoria.
So well satisfied arc tlio owners with tho model
nnd workmanship of this vessel, that they have
contracted with Messrs. Barclay & Townsend to
build another exactly liko it. They have now on
the stocks another ship designed for the Alediter-
rniienu trade, which will lie finished this autumn.
Thoy havo made an auspicious commencement,
and we have no doubt Imt their exertions will be
crowned with success. B. B.
German Theatricals in New York.—This even
ing the first of a scries of twolve performances in
tho Gorman Language, will be presented by u
newly urrived German Company, at Gothic Hull,
in Broadwuy, The object of tlicsu performers
is to give tho public a sample of tho capacity of
the performers, with a view of renting a large
theatre hero for histrunic entertainments in Ger
man.
The play to ho performed this evening is Doc
tor Wespo ; tlio uctors of both sexes aro said to
comprise persons of talent and experience in the
profession.—iV. F. Ev. Post, 18th inst.
Anecdote of Stephen Girard.—Tlio following
capital anecdote, illustrative of the late Stephen
Girurd, of i'liiludulphia, is from the New Bedford
Mercury:
Air. G. had a favorite clerk, one who every way
ploased him, aud who, when nt thu age of 21
yenrs, expected Air. G. to say something to him
of his futuro prospects, nnd perhaps lend him a
helping hnml iu starting him iu the world. But
Air. G. said nothing, carcfitily avoiding tlio sub
ject of his escupu from minority. At length, after
the lapse of some weeks, tliu clerk mustered
courage enough to address Mr. G. upon tho sub
ject.
'I suppose, sir," said the clerk, “I am free, aud
lit I would say something to you as to my
think 1 had better
I thong
future course. What do you
do?"
"Yes, yes, I know you are,’’ said Air. G., “and
iny advice to you is, that you go und learn a
cooper’s trade.
This uuuouncnnient well nigh threw tho clerk
off the track; but recovering Ins eqiiillibriuni, lie
said if Air G. was in earnest, ho would do ho.
“I am in earnest"—and the clerk rather hesi
tatingly soughtt one of tho best coopers, nnd
agreed with Turn upon the terms of apprentice
ship, nud wont at it in good earnest, nud in course
of time made us good a barrel os any one. Ho went
ami told Air. G. that he had graduated with all the
honors of the craft, und was ready to 6ct up his
liusiucss, nt which the old mail seemed gratified,
and told him to make three oftho best barrels he
could. The young cooper selected the best ma
terials, and soon put into shape and finished three
of the best barrels, and wheeled them up to tiro
old man’s counting room. Air. G. said tlio bar
rels were first rate, nnd demanded the price.
“One dollar," said tho clerk, “is as low us I can
live by."
"Cheap enough,"said bis employer, "moke out
your bill and presentitr"
And now comes tbo cream of tho wholo. Mr.
G. drown check for twenty thousand dollars, and
liaiided it to the clerk, closing with these words:
[YOU THE OKOIIOIAN.]
Huzza! Our Country’s flag doth wave.
O’er Montezuma's halls;
The banner uf tho free aud brave,
Floats o’er the lofty walls;
Iu vain the foe by numbers .sought,
To chock our little baud;
Thro’ fields liy blood aud valor bought,
They’ve won the long sought land!
What tlio’ n thousand noble hearts,
Shall throb ou earth no more.
For hurled down by thu foemeii's darts,
Their dream of lifo is o’er!
They came at duty’s trumpet call,
With high resolve they came,
Where better could a soldier full?
Where leave a prouder name /
And is thoro one within our laud,

And shall we far from fear and harm,

Of those, who 'mid flic war’s alarm,

Huzza! A thousand hearty cheers,
For all our gallant men ;
With shouts of joy, and burning tears,
