TAYLOR AND MONTEREY.
BY F. A. DURIVAGE.
The trumpet of war hath hushed iifc note,
Mute is the dreadlui cannon’s throat,
No more, wliere lrostile banners fioat,
Our iron batteries play ;
Y et memory paints those scenes again,
The deadly striteof desperate men,
Tile shouts th**t sent the welkin, when
Our Taylr charged at Monterey.
Huzza ! huzza ! for freedom's right,
For freedom’s might that won the day,
For freedom’s sons that faced the guns
When Taylor charged at Monterey.
Ah ! fierce the conflict in that hour,
lucessam fell the leaden shower,
But not a man was seen to cower,
On that eventful day ;
And through the streets with life blood wet,
Where many a heart its death doom met,
Swept on tiie northern bayonet,
Bv Taylor led at Monterey.
Huzza ! huzza ! etc.
With sinning laurels on liis brow,
Achieved—ask every soldier how—
The chief returns in triumph now,
From toil and battle fray ;
His sword has found a welcome sheath,
Ills footsteps seek his native heath,
And we ll bestow a civic wreath
On him who charged at Monterey.
Huzza l huzza ! etc. ,
Killing The Uuffalo.
No animal requires so much killing as buff
aloes. Unless shot through the lungs or spine,
they invariably escape ; and even when thus
mortally wounded, er even struck through the
very heart, they will frequenly run a consid
erable distance before falling to the ground,
particularly if they see the hunter after the
wound is given. If however, he keeps him
self concealed after firing, the animal will re
main still if it does not immediately fall. It is
a most paialul sight to witness the dying strug
gles of the huge beast. The buffalo invaria
bly evinces the greatest repugnauce to lie
down when mortally wounded, apparently
conscious that when once touching mother
earth there is no hope left him. A bull shot
through the heart or lungs, with blood stream
ing from bis mouth, and protruding tongue,
his eyes rolling, bloodshot., and glazed with
death, braces himself on his legs, swaying from
side to side, stamps impatiently at his growing
weakness or lifts his rugged and matted head
and helplessly bellows out his conscious impo
tence To the last however, he stands upright,
and plants his limbs further apart, but to no
purpose. As the body rolls, like a ship at sea,
his head slowly turns from side to side, looking
aboutjas it were for the unseen and treacherous
enemy who has brought him, the lord of ihe
plains, to such a pass. Drops of purple blood
spill from bis mouth and nostrils, and gradually
the foiling limbs refuse longer to support the
ponderous carcass; more heavily rolls the body
from side to side, until suddenly for a brief in
stant it becomes rigid and still; a convulsive tre
mor seixes it, and with a low, sobbing gasp, the
huge animal falls over on his side, the limbs
extended etark and stiff, and the mountain of
flesh without life or motion.
Notwithstanding the great and wanton de
struction of the Buffalo, many years must
elapse before this lordly animal becomes ex
tinct. In spite of their numerous enemies, they
will exist in countless numbers, and could any
steps be taken to protect them, as is done in
respect to other game, they would ever remain
the life and ornament)of the boundless prairies,
and afford ample and never-failing provision to
the travellers over these otherwise desert
plains.— Ruxton's Mexico and the Rucky
Mourn ains.
This Life.
Life is beautifully compared to a fountain
fed by a thousand streams, that perish if one
be dried. It is a silver cord, twisted with a
tliouoortvl ftrin that part acunJvi JfGt lbrv. Li uK
en. Frail and thoughtless mortals are sur
rounded by innumerable dangers, which make
it much more strange that they escape so long,
than that they sometimes perish suddenly at
last. We are encompassed with accidents
every day, to crush the mouldering tenements
which we inhabit. The seeds of disease are
planted in our constitution by nature. The
earth and atmosphere whence we draw the
breath of life, are impregnated with death —
health is made to operate its own destruction.
The food that nourishes, contains the elements

Honor thy Father ami .Mother.
Gen. Geo. Washington, when quite young,
vv about to go to sea as a midshipman; every
tiring was arranged, the vessel lay opposite his
father’s house, the little boat had come on shore
to take him off. and his whole heart was bent
on going. After his trunk had been carried
down to the boat, he went to bid his mother
farewelt, and saw the tears bursting from her
eyes. However, lie said nothing to her, but
he saw r that his mother would be distressed if
he went, and perhaps never be happy again.
He just turned round to the servant and said,
Go and tell them to fetch my trunk hack.—l
will not go away to break my mother’s heart.”
His mother was struck with his decision, and
she said to him,“George, God has promised to
Idess the children that honor their parents, and
I believe he will bless you.”— Prescott.
The Inevitable Doom.
Human life is like a road which terminates
in a frightful precipice: we are warned of it
from the first step ; but the law is gone forth :
we must constantly advance. I would wish to
retrace my steps ; on, on, forward ; we must
unceasingly advance towards the precipice.
A thousand vexations, a thousand troubles, fa
tigue and distress usou ihe road ; but if I could
only avoid that frightful precipice ! No, no, we
must advance, we must even run. such is the
rapidity of years. We console ourselves, how
ever, because from time to time we meet with
objects which amuse us—running waters,
passing flowers. We would wish to pause ;
on, on! And yet we see all that we have
passed falling into ruins behind us—frightful
crash, inevitable destruction ! We console
ourselves, because we have carried off some
flowers, gathered by the way side, which fade
in our hands ere the evening approaches;
some fruits, which we lose in tasting —enchant-
ment, illusion ! Still hurried on. thou approach
est the gulf: already every thing begins to pass
away ; the gardens are less flowery, the mead
ows less brilliant, the streams less pure ; all
fade, all pass away; the shadow of death ap
pears ; we begin to feel the approach of the fatal
gulf. But. w r e must advance to the brink,
another step. Already horror has seized upon
the stnses: the head grows dizzy, the eyes
wander —on. on. I would retrace my steps;
impossible: all has fallen, all has vanished, all
is lost.
I need not tell you that this road is Life ;
this gulf is Death. — Uosgucl •

A C onsreys on Horseback.
“Iremeus” of the New York Observer, writing
trom White Plains, mentions that the Provin
cial Congress of the state of New York ad
journed in the city to meet there two days be
fore the Declaration of Independence. The
members performed the journey from New

Wine iu Australia.
There is every reason to believe that
western Australia will one day become a great
wine country, its vineyards are becoming
more numerous and extensive every year, and
the wine produced in them is of a quality to lead
us to believe that when the artol preparing it is
better understood, it will be found of very
superior quality. It will, however, be anew
kind of wine, and therefore, before it will be
prized in Europe, prejudices in favor of older
wines have to be overcome. Soil and climate
combined give to different wines their peculiar
flavor. The vines which iri Madeira produce
the wine of that name, when brought to an
other country, even in a corresponding latitude
and planted in soil that chemically approaches
as closely as possible to that which they have
left, will produce a wine materially different
trom that called Madeira. So with the vines of
Xeres and Oporto, or Tenerifle, or Conetantia.
Different countries preduce wines peculiar to
themselves; and the winesof Western Austra
lia will be found to be entirely snigeneris. All
that I have tasted, though made from the poor
est ot grapes, the common sweet water, have
one peculiarity. A good draught . instead of af
fecting the head or flushing the face, causes a
mosrdeiightful glow to pervade the stomach,
and it is of so comforting a nature, that the
laborers in harvest prefer the home-made
colonial wine to any other beverage. Every
farm settler is now adding a vineyard to his
estate.— Landai’s Bushma.
The Floating Gardens of Mexico.
A correspondent of the New York Courier,
writing from Mexico under date of May 23,
1848, thus speaks of the celebrated “ Floating
Gardens” near that city :
A party of us, with Colonel H as our
cicerone, started from my quarters last Sun
day. with baskets well laden with the creature
comforts, for the canal. A walk of three
quarters of a mile brought us to the Chaleo ca
nal, at a point where commences that most de
lightful resort of the citizens, the Passeo dela
Vega.
This canal, taking its rise at Lake Chaleo,
is the grand artery through which flows the
products of the basin of Mexico to the capi
tal. It existed before the conquest, is about
forty feet broad, on an average, three feet deep,
and, in its various ramifications until it readies
Tezuco is some sixty miles in length. About
five miles from the city you reach the old In
dian village of Ixtacalco, in existence before
the conquest,and the residence of one of their
nn/MP.nt kin/v Wfi hnrlwl and t.httn we.nl
work in earnest to examine these said to be
floating islands.
Casting your eye over this immense flat
region of country, you see what appears to be
a continuous grove of willow trees, which
grow quite tall and straight, and look like pop
lar. Upon examination you will find this ex
tensive flat cut up hy small canals, running in
every direction, and between each of these are
beds of rich black soil, from 10 to 15 feet broad,
by 100 and more in length. These beds
are richly cultivated with all the vegetables
common to this climate, and others are planted
with a wilderness of flowers. From these beds
the vegetable market of the city is chiefly, if
not wholly, supplied. They are construe led
by placing at the botrom a layer of brush, then
one of earth and another of brush, and so on,
until the height ot the bed is some two leet
above the water; then willow trees are
planted along the edge, which having a top
root, take srtong hold of the ground, and hold
the bed in its place. These are the floating
gardens (!) and the manner of their construc
tion.
These are the very kind of gardens as de
scribctl in Prescott, and are no doubt, some ol
them the identical gardens in cultvation be
fore the conquest, and are now cultivated by
descendants of those same old gardeners. Our
inimitable historian, Prescott, was too easy ot
faith, when he believed that these islands were
floated about and anchored at different places.
Equestiiaus.
The beautiful and invigorating exercise of
riding on horseback is now getting to be quite
in the fashion in this city, ana for once in her life
that imperative and insatiate goddess is doing
some good. There is no recreation more
healthful and invigorating than riding on
horseback. Avery little experience will ena
ble a lady to ride gracefully, elegantly and
with confidence, and what sight is more charm
ing than a lady, neatly attired, well mounted
and riding with a firm seat ? The fascinating
elegancies of the boudior or drawing room, the
refinement and polish of the ball-room, with the
soft and ravishing looks exchanged in the gid
dy mazes of the whirling waltz, are as nothing
to it. In this country, the habit of using
equestrian exercise by ladies, has never been
much in vogue until of late years, but now it is
gradually becoming fashionable and we hope
to see all American ladies elegant horsewomen.
Our ladies are in the habit of confining them
selves too much to the house and depriving
themselves ol exercise so necessary to the
strengthening of their constitutions ; they walk
but little, ride seldom, and transform them
selves into mere hot house exotics, and gradu
ally weakening their constitutions, leave be
hind them in their children a still more feeble
generation. Young gills are confined too
much for tear of embrowning their complexions
by exposure to the sun and air, or rendering
t heir frames large and undented. Lacing and
bad air do their work, as the thin, flat chest,
curved spines, unnatural waists and weak and
fragile constitutions attest by scores. An
abundance of exercise, riding or walking, and
plenty of the fresh, pure air of heaven, taken
in large doses, from early youth up, would
make American woman the ’fairest of the fair.

The South Strangled.
What vve have all along predicted has come
to pass. We stated long since that tiie South
would be beaten, and by those too who were
harassing us every day with their professions
of loyalty to her —who were ever charging oth
ers with open or secret treachery to h -r rights.
The Wilmot Proviso is now tiie law of the land,
by the votes of Southern Democrats, and the
President, their lawful head and representa
tive. Let it not be forgotten, that those who
charged the Whigs with deserting the South,
hitched onto and passed the Wilmot Proviso to
the Oregon Territorial Bili.iuid he who appro
ved that Bill was, according to their idea, tlieir
President. Now let there be no deception
and fraud in tins matter. The fact is on record,
signed, sealed and delivered, to he perpetuated
while the English language shall survive.
Let there be now no mistake.
The President’s declaration that he would
not now approve a hill with the Wilmot Proviso
attached to it for the government of New Mex
ico and the C’alifornias is the veriest folly and
nonsense. The precedent has heen set by his
own act and his party, that the North has the
right to exclude the South as equal partners in
these territories. Next winter, the North liave
the majority in the Senate as well as in the
House. The lowa Senators give her this pow
er; and the two Senators from Delaware, who
are instructed to vote for the Wilmot Proviso,
takes away from us every vestige of hope.—
The North have the principle of the Wilmot
Proviso admitted by both Houses and the Pres
ident and they will apply it hereatler to all ter
ritories to be admitted. They are not so green
as to yield their advantage of this admission.
Let no man be mistaken. Mr. Calhoun says
truly.when he declares that the North will bow
insist on this right We say that the South
has been strangled. —Richmond Southerner.
Runaways Abusing Taylor.
The Auburn(N. Y. ) Advertiser states that
Fred. Douglass, a runaway slave, denounced
Taylor in a recent speech in Auburn as a hired
assassin ! The wfrite orators who denounce
Old Zach as a knave and traitor must feel com
plimented by tlie company in which they fight.
If Fillmore be an abolitionist, and Taylor lit
tle better, why are the abolitionists and free
negroes ol the North, every wliere opposing,
reviling and defaming them ?

New Dressing for Wounds.
The Philadelphia Ledger states that gun
cotton, useless for artillery purposes; is said to
be an excellent styptic lor dressing cuts and
wounds. “ Dissolved in ether, and applied
to the severest cat, it forms an adhesive
covering of singular closeness; so that the
process of healing is carried on speedily and
effectually. Dr. Simpson of Edinburgh, has
This mixture, in a liquid condition, at about the
consistence of fine honey, is simply poured upon
the wound; the chloroform instantly evaporates
and the gutta percha remains a perfect, flexible
second skin over the injured part, preserving it
for weeks, if necessary without the need of
dressing, bandages. &
To Remove Rust from Polished Steel.
Rub the spots with any kind of soft animal fat,
and lay the articles hy. wrapped in thick paper
for two or three days; then, after cleaning off
the grease with apiece of soft flannel, rub the
spots well with powdered rotten stone and
sweet oil after which the polish may be restored
by rubbing with powdered emery on a soft
leather ; and the process may be finished with
finely powdered chalk or magnesia.
A Newspaper.
A man eats up a pound of sugar, and the pleasure
he has enjoyed is ended ; but the information he gets
from a newspaper is treasured up in the mind, to be en

ot the past ages too.
A family without a newspaper is always half an age
behind the time in general information, besides they
never think much, or find much lo talk about. And
then there are little ones growing up in ignorance with
out any taste tor reading.
Besides all these evils, there’s the wife, who, when

Advertising—A Word to the Wise.
The Boston Chronotype of a late date says ;— ■“ In
conversation, yesterday, with a gentleman of our ac
quaintance, he assured us that it was his firm belief
thai advertising in the daily papers prevented his utter
failure in business. He stated that some months ago
he was very much pressed for funds to meet his pay
ments, and what was worse, his business, instead of
improving, was rather retrograding, so that his pros
pects sot tiie future, were anything but ffaitering. He
had never advertised his place at all, and hy way ot
experiment, ami as a last resort, determined to appro
priate a certain amount tor that purpose, and conse
quently commenced advertising in the most extensive
ly circulated dailies in this city, and our own among
the rest. To his great surprise he soon toumi tiiat m w
customers appeared daily, and, in a very short time lie
was able to make his payments prompot, a.id his busi
ness has continued to increase rapidly ever since.
The Fittsburg Gazette copies the foregoing and re
marks:—“ Remember this—the man whose business
has a lair proportion of capital ai its foundation, who
never engages in uncertain speculation, and who ad
vertises judiciously and freely, never fails.’ The w'ant
ol these requisites will endanger his situation, but the
want of advertising is the greatest of the three. A ju
diciousinan with little or no capital, a free use ol ad
vertising, may prosper and create capital, while the
man with capital, who neglects advertising, will find
his business gradually declining and tns capital dimin
ishing year by year. These statements are verified by
the experience of thousands. “ Fifty dollars a year
spent in advertising, isot more value to a business man
(halt three thousand dollars additional capital.

Taylor movement in Carolina.
The Taylor Democrats in Charleston had an over
whelming gathering on the night of the 14th. Among
the speakers was the Hon. Isaac E. Holmes, mem
ber of Congress from the District, who (according to
the Courier) was received! by the audience with loud
and long continued demonstrations ot applause, and
spoke as follows:
“He returned his thanks for the reception, and ex
pressed his gratification at being again in the home of
Ids affections after the late laborious and long protract
ed Session of Congress. He then proceeded to dis
cuss the momentous questions which had been before
the National Legislature, showed from the debates up
on the various Territorial Bills, that the Democratic
party of the North had gradually fallen off from our
support until upon the final vote they utterly abandon
ed us; and exhorted hi fellow citizens to believe that
front the pervading sentiment of the North, there was
nothing for us to expect from a Northern Candidate or
a Northern Party upon the great subject of our rights.
In relation to Gen. Cass, he prononneed his doctrine as
stated in the Nicholson letter to be destructive of our
rights, and said that Mr. Rhett to his able and elo
quent speech in Congress had proved, unanswerably,
that that doctrine was more insidious, more offensive
and more humiliating to the South than the WiJmot
Proviso itself. It was better that our rights should be
submitted to the legislation of Congress, where we
were represented and had an opportunity ol battling for
our principles, than that they should be wrested from
us by the present inhabitants of the new Territories,
who were negroes, mulattoes and mongrels. He said
that Gen. Cass’ organs in the Northwest contended that
he (Gen. Cass) wag a better free soil man than Martly
Van Blren, and that their objects could be best ac
complished by means of the regular organization of
their party. Mr. Holmes expressed his decided pre
ference tor Gen. Taylor, who had every sympathy

firmness of character and the strength ot will to insist
that the rights of the South should be respected. He
exhorted his fellow citizens, in conclusion, to be firm,
but without passion, in their support of Gen. Taylor,
and at allevents, and in whatever result, to hold them
selves ready to meet the great crisis whicli he believed
was approaching with a sure and inevitable progress.”
