When the rapid rise in every species of labor,

From such data its the above facts present, the
militia of the states from which the returns are
wanting, may be estimated nt 150,000 ; which,
with thc returns that are received, will make the
total upwards of 800,000. We are quite sure, if
the returns were as precise as they might be, that
the numbers enrolled in the militia would he found
considerably to exceed a million.—Nat. Int.
We are requested by the Adjutant-General
to state, that a copy of the Militia Law of the stite
of Georgia, was forwarded from the Executive of
fice some time last spring to thc Adjutant and In
spector General’s office at Washington City. In
conformity with the resolution of Senate, the An
nual Return of the Militia has also been forwarded
as early as was practicable, with a second copy of
the Militia Law.
We are informed by the Adjutant-General, that
the strength of the militia of this state is 28,401.
A very satisfactory statement from the secre
tary of the treasury was communicated to the
Senate yesterday, on the subject of the collection
of the revenue. The statement furnished a com
parative view of the amount of revenue accru
ing on imports and tonnage in the two first quar
ters of the years 18ir and 1818—furnishing, in
the language of the secretary, presumptive evi
dence that the act of last session, supplementa
ry to the collection laws, has had the happiest ef
fects in the prevention of frauds on the revenue.
The facts from which the conclusion is drawn,
are that the duties secured during the latter pe
riod, (under the present act) exceed those of the
former period, nearly two millions of dollars 5
that this increase is exclusively confined to arti
cles paying ad valorem dutieg; ami that, while
the duties upon imports have greatly increased,
the duty on the tonnage engaged in the importa
tion of foreign merchandize has more consider
ably diminished.—Nat. lutelligenctr.
THE PARTING.
“ Te. dulcis conjux, te solo in litfore secum
Tc. veniente die, te dccedentc cane bat."
ADIEU my sweet Wtf'etill this heart of affection,
No more in deep anguish shall roll;
Till death shall congeal this tide of reflection,
And grief be effaced from my soul.
Adieu till yonder bright concave be broken,
Hv Emanuel's dazzling array;
When vanishing Heavens to earth shall betoken
. The approach of nature's last day.
You leave me a mourner in life’s cheerless vale,
You leatc me in sorrow to bleed,
You leave men bitter bereavement to wail,
And pangs of deep sadness to. feed.
You leave me whilst yet thc wattn blood of affection
Encircles my grief-throbbing heart»
■Fromhope'.j brightest summit, ah! sudden dejection \
Dread order that calls us to part!
But why, my sweet songster, so soon from the grove.
Will you urge u precipitate flight ?
Why brightens thy plumage where nought is butlov
Why soar in sucli haste fratn my sight f
L.ke a dream which is fed by the slumbers of night,
My sweet love fin ever has flown ;
With rapture she drinks the pure spirit of light,
And calls the blessed mansions her own.
Long time have I seen thee expanding for flight,
The pinions of holy desire;
Oft viewing sublimely the climes of delight,
All glowing with seraphic fire.
Let not my fond heart at thy bliss now repine,
Nor breathe a sad murmuring thought;
Tar otherwise blessed than when thou wort mine,
Thy spirit with glory is fraught.
Thy attractions secured the love of my youth,
And threw round my life a soft charm ;
Thc dreams of bright fiction in thee were but truth,
And pleasure devoid of alarm.
Now stript of my solace, bereft of my guide,
1 wander a pilgrim below ;
Kind sympathy’s hand is withdrawn horn my side,
Unshared is my measure of woe.
Ye who with deep trembling read sorrow’s dark roll,
A volume which each one must see;
“ Whoe'er lost an angel’’’ in sweetness, in soul,
Will feci a soft pity for me.

VILLA COLUMBIANA.
The scile is high : an union of seven hills,
Around whose base the living nymph distil* ;
Springs pur** and sweet like those which travellers ace
Mid the deep hills in western Tennessee ;
Bold fountains such as cv’ry where gush forth,
From Allegany toward thc distant north;
Or such n«, ooring from the Blue Ridge, pour
Their chrystal wavelets in the Shemndoro.
Thc scitc is lofty: constant breezes here,
Fan the hot bosom of the rultry year;
Young health abides, whilst pale diseases sow
Their plagues around Avernian Mexico :
Maizcna, full before our ryes, hath spread,
For Naiad slumbering*, her rocky bed ;
Atlanta sees, her Nereids before,
Thc queen of ocean move along her shore.
Twelve years ago, thc pine, the sturdy oak,
On this same ground, first felt die axe’s stroke ;
Lo ! industry draws near, thc wilds give way—
A desert yesterday, a town to-day :
Where now ascends thc lofty dome, with 8pire%
Lie the warm ashes of thc Red Man’s fires ;
The savage panther yesterday howl’d o’er
Hie spot where now proud science heaps her lore.
Sucli is our home, with such wevnvy not,
Contented with our own, Europa’s lot;
Our Pennsylvania copious plenty yield* ;
Vermont has fir-green hills and grass-gre£n fields ;
New-York, resplendent, boasts her foreign stores ;
Connecticut, flowery meads and rocky shores;
Virginian groves and maize plantations please ;
And Georgia’s islets glow with oranges ; *
Ohio’s deserts cv’ry day retire,
Before the axe and all-devouring fire ;
Lo ! wcstwardly, civilization bent,
Sweeps, like a flood, across our continent;
But, on our union, sunnier glories rest,
freedom and peace combine, and ull are blest;
' From his wild rock thc bird of liberty springs,
And o’er a shouting nation spreads his wings.

JiRITiSII POETS.
P ROPOSALS by Mitchel, Ames U White, for publish
ing by subscription, an edition of thc British Poets,
in fifty volumes, ornamented and illustrated with upwards
of fifty engravings. The publishers have here undertaken
the expensive and arduous task of supplying what, they
believe, lias long been a desideratum in American litera
ture. We have had editions of the British Classics iu
prose ; but no person has yet attempted to furnish their
counterpart, by a complete publication of the British Po
ots. Borne of the most celebrated have, indeed, been re
printed on this side of the water; but, when it is remem
bered, that, exclusive of our own age, there are upward*
of one hundred and twenty English authors who have left
imperishable poetry behind them, with how small a part
of thc whole number do these few American republications
enable us to become^icquainted! And yet, without such
acijuaintnnce, who can say he has tasted the sweets of
English literature, or realized the strength and affluence of
the English language ?
What has received the stamp of approbation from an
enlightened community in England, can certainly derive
no additional value from the recommendation of an A me*
rican Editor* We have only to say, therefore, that the
works which we design to publish are such as have sur
vived the fluctuations of ephemeral celebrity ; and that,
considered either as models of imitation, or as sources of
amusement, no works seem to be more really wanted in
thc United States. The busy could snatch a volume to fill
up the interstices of their time : the idle would have orte
more resort for a change of occupation ; and surely no spe
cies of leading is better fitted to atford relief of business,
or variety to pleasure.
The American publishers intend to supply the c arlier an
thers ; to add a select number of those of our mi n age; to
insert them all, as nearly as possible, iu the order of time ;
and to accompany each wiih a summary biographical nor
tico. As the publishers do not think it safe to extend the
undertaking beyond 50 volumes, they can only reprint th*5
complete w'orks of the most celebrated poets, and select
|K)cm3 from thc most obscure.
CONDITIONS.
1. The work will tie comprised in fifty volumes 18ni6
contain earh, u[>on an average, 400 pages.
2. It shall be delivered to subscribers at the rate of one

3. The publishers pledge themselves, that the execution
shall in every re3ptct, be equal with that of thc volume
