The following melodious and touching poem is fiom the pen of the late lamented Willis Gaylord Clark, and was written by him for an early number of The Knickerbocker Magazine: A Song of May. The Spring’s scented buds all around me are swelling— There are songs in the stream, there is health in the gale; A sense of delight in each bosom is dwelling, As float the pure day-beams o’er mountain and vale; The desolate reign of Old Winter is broken— The verdure is fresh upon every tree ; Os Nature’s revival the charm, and a token Oflove, oh thou Spirit of Beauty ! to thee; The sun looketh forth from the halls of the morning, And flushes the clouds that begirt his career; He welcomes the gladness and glory, returning To rest on the promise and hope of the year ; He fills with rich light all the balm-breathing flowers— lie mounts to the zenith, and laughs on the wave ; He wakes into music the green forest-bowers, And gilds the gay plains which the broad rivers lave. The young bird is out on his delicate pinion— lie timidly sails in the infinite sky ; A greeting to May, and her fairy dominion, lie pours on the west-wind’s fragrant sigh ; Around, above, there arc peace and pleasure— The woodlands are singing—the heaven is bright ; The fields are unfolding their emerald treasure, And man’s genial spirit is soaring in light. Alas, for my weary and care-haunted bosom ! The spells of the spring-time arouse it no more ; The song in the wild-wood—the sheen of the blossom— The fresh-welling fountain—their magic is o’er ! When I list to the streams—when 1 look on the flowers, ‘1 hey tell of the Past, with so mournful a tone, That I call up the throngs of my long-vanished hours, And sigli that their transports are over and gone. From the wide-spreading earth —from the limitless heaven, There have vanished an eloquent glory ami gleam ; To my veil’d mind no more, is the influence given, Which coloreth life with the hues of a dream ; The bloom-purpled landscape its loveliness keeocth — 1 deem that a light, as of old, gilds the wave; But the eye ol my spirit in heaviness sleepeth, Or sees but my youth, and the visions it gave. Yet it is not that age on my years hath descended— 'Tis not thut its snow-wreaths encircle my brow ; But the newness and sweetness of Being are ended— -1 feel not their love kindling witchery now ! The shadows of Death o’er my patli have been sweeping— There are those who have loved me, debarred from the day ; The green turf is bright, where in peace they are sleeping, j And on wings of remembrance my soul is away, i It is shut to the glow of this present existence— It hears, from the Past, a funeral strain ; And it eagerly turns to the high-seeming distance, Where the lost blooms of earth will be garnered again ; Where no mildew the soft, damask-rose cheek shall nour ish ; Where Grief bears no longer the poisonous sting ; Where pitiless Death no dark scepter can flourish, Or stain with his blight the luxuriant spring. It is thus that the hopes which to others are given Fall cold on my heart in this rich month of May ; I hear the clear anthems that ring through the heaven ; I drink the bland airs that enliven the day ; And if gentle Nature, her festival keeping, Delights not my bosom, ah ! do not condemn ; O’er the lost and the lovely my spirit is weeping, For my heart’s fondest raptures are buried with them ! Three Words. There are three lessons I would write— Three words—as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light, Upon the hearts of men. Hare Hope ! The clouds environ now, And gladness hides her face with scorn, Put thou the shadows from thy brow No night but hath its morn. Hare Faith ! Where’er thy bark is driven — The calm’s disport—the teinpest’s niitth — Know this—God rules the hosts ol heaven, Th’ inhabitants of earth. Have Love ! Not love for one, But man,as man, thy brother call, — And scatter, like the circling sun, Thy chariticl on all. Thus grave these lessons on thy soul— Hope, Faith, and Love—and thou shall find Strength, when life’s surges wildest roll, — Light, when thou else wort blind! The Boy and the B: ick. A boy hearing his father sav, “twas a poor rule that would not work both ways ”Jf father applies this rule about his work, 1 will test it in my play.” So setting up a row of bricks, three or four inches a part,lu?tipped over the first, which, strik ing the second, caused it to fall on the third, which overturned the fourth, and so on through the whole course, until all the bricks lay prostrate. “Well,” said the boy, “each brick has knocked down his neighbor, which stood next to him; I only tipped one. Now I will raise one, and see if he will raise his neighbor. I will see if raising one will raise all the rest.*’ He looked in vain to see them rise. “Here father,” said he “is a poor rule ; ‘twill not work both ways. They knocked each other down, but will not raise each other up.” “.M v son,"said his father,“bricks and mankind are alike, made of clay, active in knocking each other down, but not disposed to help each other up,” “It is too often the case that when men fall, they’ love company; but when they rise they love to stand alone, like yonder brick, and see others ! prostrate and below them.’* Equivocate , —The French excel all nations in studied equivoque, but give us a Yankee for the unintentional kind.

A paper published at Rouse’s Point, New York, has for a motto, at its editorial head, a well known couplet, lengthened out in the sec ond line to suit the measure of its poetic aspira tions, thus: “No pent-up Utica contracts cur powers, The wole unbounded North American continent shall ‘be ours . ; {Vixudlaimm. Judge Warner. We find in the Savannah Courier a sketch oi the life of Hon. Hiram Warner, of this State, from which we make the following extracts: There are some incidents connected with Judge Warner’s administration of the laws, which have not generally been known, and a recital of which we believe will be interesting to our readers. Judge Warner presided at the first court, held at Marietta, Cobb county. The population, like that of the greater part of newly settled countries, was composed of many rough and lawless persons, which rendered decided and summary action necessary on the part of the presiding officer, to maintain the authority of the court, and the supremacy of the law; there was no jail, and nothing but a small log cabin erected for the administration of justice, and just in the rear of which, there was a small enclosure about twelve raifhigh intended for a horse lot. During the session of court, a man somewhat intoxicated, or pretending to be so, became very boisterous, disturbing the business of the court. The Judge ordered the sheriff to take him away, and requesting his friends to keep him away, but in a few moments he return ed more vociferous than ever, cursing the court and its officers, telling the Judge to put him in jail and bed and. The Judge hesitated for a moment, and then very deliberately ordered the sheriff to take the disturber of the public busi ness and place bis head under the horse Jot fence, until he became sober. The sheriff promptly executed the order, and shortly after wards, when he was wanted in court, he could not be found, and it was ascertained that, in obedience to what he considered the order of the Judge, after putting the man’s neck between the heavy rails oftlie fence, about two feet from the ground, his body ou one side, and his head on the other, lie had taken his seat on the top rail of the fence above his prisoner, that he might be securely kept. The prisoner, howev er, soon reported himself sober, and was releas ed. The next morning lie met the Judge, and after thanking him for his imprisonment, said that he had made a sober man of him during life. This decided conduct on the part of Judge Warner prevented any further disturbance of the court. Soon after the organization of Murray county, there were two parties, called the Bishop and the Anti-Bishop parties, among which there was great excitement. Owing to some preju dice that existed, Bishop and his friends were unwilling that the then presiding Judge of the Cherokee Circuit should hold the Court for the trial of the cases in which they were interes ted, and therefore the Judge of that circuit pro posed to exchange Courts with Judge Warner, so that the latter might preside at the trials in Murray. An eye-witness says: “Judge Warner arrived at Spring Place, the county site, early in the morning of the day the Court was to lie held, and found the little village nearly surrounded by a company of United States soldiers. The Judge having ordered breakfast, was shaving, when a communication in writing; was handed to him by the late General Steelman. Upon opening the letter ho found it to bo from Capt. Buffington, oftlie army, informing him that by order of Colonel Lindsey, oftlie United Status army, stationed in Tennessee, lie had repaired to Spring Place for the purpose of enabling tiie Judge of the Superior Court to execute the laws of Georgia, and tendering him his own services and that of his command. The Judge imme diately calling for pen, ink and paper, icplied to Captain Buffington’s communication, assuring him that however highly he might appreciate the motives which induced Colonel Lindsey to order Capt. Buffington and his command to that place, to enable the Judge of the Superior Court to execute the laws of Georgia, that lie was not aware that there existed any necessity for his services, or that of lus command ; that Georgia was abundantly able to execute her own laws, and that so far as that duty devolved upon him on that occasion he expected to have no difficulty in doing it without his assistance. In less than thirty minutes after the receipt of the communication the soldiers’ tents were struck, and Capt. Buffington and his command were on their march to their quarters in Ten nessee, Several of the Anti-Bishop party im plored the Judge not to send the soldiers away, the women cried, and said they would all be killed, the Court could not be held, &,o. When the time arrived for opening the Court, the Sheriff was reluctant to go to the Court House, saying that he was certain he would he killed before the trials were over. The Judge assured him that lie should he protected—- took him by the arm, walked to the Court House, opened Court,and, during the term, tried Bishop and other important criminal causes growing out of the Murray difficulties, without the least disturbance. Judge Warner’s conduct on this occasion was the theme of admiration. Os Judge Warner’s legal qualifications it is scarcely necessary to speak, as the evidences of their high order have been already developed in the positions to which lie had been so repeated ly elevated. The characteristic feature of his mind is its remarkable logical force. His efforts at the har, and liis decisions on the bench, alike disclose this feature. His style is free from ornament, and with an unusual directness he approaches and discusses the question, controlling every case. Not one redundant word, not one of repe tition, and yet complete. His language, with perfect accuracy, conveys precisely the idea in tended. A capital pun was made by an Irishman in the course of a discussion touching the superior natural productions of various countries. “You may talk,’’ said he, “as you plaze about it; but, be jabbers, Scotland is the finest connthry in the wurruld for natural productions.’’ “How so cries one. “Impossible !” exclaims anoth er. “Give us your reason,’’ demands a third. “YVhy, gc-ntleinen,’’ said he, “don't you see that Scotland has got a whole river of Tay running through it !’’ Hastings, of the Albany Knickerbocker, must be a queer fellow. He says in his paper:— “How any one can look at the human foot, composed of 144 bones—any quantity of elas tic cartiilage—a gill and a half of lubricating oil, and ten thousand other arrangements for first class kicking, and still believe it’s a duty to receive an insult without making a man smell of leather, is one of those eccentricities connected with the human mind which we nev er could fathom.’’ A minister approaching a mischievousurchin, about twelve years old, and laying his hand upon his shoulder, thus addressed him : “My son, I believe the devil has got hold of you.” “1 believe lie lias, too,” was the significant re ply of the urchin. Life in the West. “From time to time we come to fresh clear ings; all these places are alike: 1 shall de scribe the one at which we have halted to-night, for it will serve to remind me of all the others. “The bell which the pior.eers hang round the necks of their cattle, in order to find them again in the woods, announced our approach to a clearing, when we were yet a long way off; and we soon afterward heard the stroke of the hatchet hewing down the trees of the for est. As we came nearer, traces of destruction marked the presence of civilized man; the road was strewn with shattered houghs ; trunks of trees, half consumed by lire, or cleft by the wedge, were still standing in the track we were following. We continued to proceed till we reached a wood in which all the trees seemed to have been suddenly struck dead ; in the height of summer tlieir boughs were as leafless as in winter ; and upon closer examin ation, we found that a deep circle had been cut round the bark, which, by stopping the circula tion of the sap, soon kills the tree. We were informed that this is commonly the fitst thing a pioneer does ; as ho cannot, in the first year, cut down all the trees which cover his new parcel of land, he sows Indian corn under their branches, and puts the trees to death in order to prevent them from injuring his crop. Beyond this field, at present imperfectly traced out, we suddenly came upon the cabin of its owner, sit uated in the centre of a plot of ground more carefully cultivated than the rest, but where man was still waging unequal warfare with the forest; there were trees cut down, but their roots were not removed, and the trunks still en cumbered the ground which they so recently shaded. Around these dry blocks, wheat, suck ers of trees, and plants of every kind grow and intertwine, all the luxuriance of in wild untuto red nature. Amid this vigorous and various veg etation stands tho house of the pioneer, or, as they call it, the log-house. Like the ground about it, this rustic dwelling bore marks of re cent and hasty labor; its length seemed not to exceed thirty feet, its height fifteen ; the walls as well as the roof were formed of rough trunks of trees, between which a little moss and clay had been inserted to keep out the cold and rain. “As night was coming on, we determined to ask tho master of the log-house for a lodging. At the sound of our footsteps, tho children who were playing among the branches sprang up and rail toward the house, as if they were fright ened at the sight of man ; while two large dogs, almost wild, with ears erect and outstretched nose, came growling out of their hut, to cover the retreat of their young masters. The pion eer himself made his appearance at the door of his dwelling ; he looked at us with a rapid and inquisitive glance, made a sign to the dogs to go into the house, and set them tho example, without betraying either curiosity or apprehen sion at our arrival. “We entered the log-house: the inside is quite unlike that of the cottages of the peas antry of Europe: it contains more that is su perfluous, less that is necessary. A single win flow with a muslin blind ; on a hearth of trod den clay .-in immense fire, which lights the whole structure ; above the hearth a good ri fle, a deer’s skin, and plumes of eagle’s feath ers 1 on the right hand of the chimney a map of the United States, raised and shaken by the wind through the crannies in the wall; near the map, upon a shelf formed of a roughly hewn plank, a few volumes of hooks—a bible, the six first books of Milton, and two of Shaks peare’s pbtys ; along the wall, trunks instead of closets ; in the centre of the room a rude table with legs of green wood, and with the hark still upon them, looking as if (hey grew out of the ground on which they stood ; but on this table a teapot of British ware, silver spoons, cracked teacups, and some newspapers. “The master of this dwelling has the strong angular features and lank limbs peculiar to the native of New England. It is evident that this man was not born in the solitude in which we have met with him : his physical constitution suffices *to show that his earlier years were spent in the midst of civilized society, and that he belongs to that restless, calculating and ad venturous race of men, who do with the utmost coolness things only to be accounted for by the ardor of the passions, and who endure the life of savages for a time, in order to conquer and civilize the hack-woods. “When the pioneer perceived that wo were crossing his threshhold. he came to meet us and shake hands, as is their custom; but his face was quite unmoved ; he opened the conversa tion by asking what was going on in the world ; and when his curiosity was satisfied, he held his peace, as if he were tired by the noise and importunity of mankind. When we questioned him iu our turn, he gave us all the information we required ; he then attended sedulously, but without eagerness, to our personal wants. While he was engaged in providing thus kindly for us, how came it that in spite of ourselves we felt our gratitude die upon our lips ‘( it is, that our host, while he performs the duties of hospitality, seems to be obeying an irksome necessity of his condition: lie treats it as a duty imposed upon him by his situation, not as a pleasure. “By the side of the hearth sits a woman with a baby on her lap; she nods to us, without dis turbing herself. Like the pioneer, this woman is in the prime of life ; her appearance would seem superior to her condition, and her apparel even betrays a lingering taste for dress ; but her delicate limbs appear shrunken, her features are drawn in, her eye is mild and melancholy ; her whole physiognomy bears marks of a degree of religious resignation, a deep quiet of all pas sions, and some sort of natural and tranquil firmness, r&idy to meet all the ills of life, with out fearing and without braving them. “Her children cluster about her, full of health, turbulence and energy : they are true children of the wilderness ; their mother watch es them from time to time with mingled melan choly and joy : to look at tlieir strength and her languor, one might imagine that the life she has given them had exhausted her own, and still she regrets not what they have cost her. “The house inhabited bv these emigrants has no internal partition or loft. In the one cham ber of which it consists the whole family is gathered for the night. The dwelling is itself a little world—an ark of civilization amid an ocean of foliage ; a hundred steps beyond it the primeval forest spreads its shades, and soli tude resumes its sway.” An Irishman comparing bis watch with the town clock, burst into a fit of laughter. Being laughed at he replied, “And how can I help it? Here is my little watch that was made by Pad dy O’Flaherty, on Orniand Quay, and which only cost me five guineas, has beat that big clock there a full hour and a quarter since yes terday morning.” ET Rev J. P. Revel, representative of the Waldensieu churches of Italy, arrived at New York last week. Plutarch Pictures.—No. 70. Colonel Pietce M. Butler. The Palmetto Regiment formed a portion of the force that invested Vera Cruz, but it was detached to the south during the siege, and before it rejoined lhe main column, the battle of Cerro Gordo had been fought. The next actions of note were the conflicts at Contreras, Cherubuseo, and Molino del Rey, Os these the most important was the bloody drama of Cherubuseo, and here it was that Col. Butler fell, and the Palmetto Regiment won imper ishable renown. But let us briefly describe the battle. Tho village of Portales was occupied by the Mexicans, and the causeway in front of the bam was blocked tip with dense masses of his troops, the cavalry numbering 3,000, the infantry 4,000. — To assail ihetn, General Shields ordered 300 men of his own brigade, 300 New Yorkers and 300 Pal mettos—including Reno’s howitzer battery of two pieces, and 1000 men of Pierce’s brigade, to advance, lie began his march by rnakitg a delcur of a mile ; ihe ground was difficult ; the 15th infantry, and four companies of the 12th, led the advance, follow ed by ihe New Yorkers, the Palmettos and the bat tery of the 9th infantry. The advance on approach ing tho barn, received a heavy fire from the enemy, and were directed to sholter themselves ; the New Y’orkers coming up, were formed in line and front ing the esuse-way. The Palmetto regiment was ordered to lake position on the left of the New Yorkers, it being Shields’design to cut off the Mexi cans by extending his line to the left; but the ene my defeated his object,and ‘lie Now York regiment became at once engaged in the sanguinary struggle. The cavalry approached the left of the line, and poured into it their fatal escopette fire; Colonel Burnett fell, and the New Yorkers dismayed by the death of tlieir commander, now broke and fled, tak ing shelter behind a wall. The Palmetto regiment completed their formation, and moved forward firing in order, without support—3oo men opposed to 7000/ But these gallant men moved forward to their pro bable doom with the steadiness ol veterans, and with a determination fixed and unalterable, conquer or die. Shields sent to Scott for reinforcements.— Without a rally to attack, the battle might be lost. His own reckless daring in the field had not incited all of the regiments ; the 9:h infantry protected it self behind a burn, as the New Yorkers had done behind a wall, leaving tho Palmetto’s to brave the battle and the storm. The blood oftlie young gen eral was roused. He harangued the regiments that had ahondoned the field, appealing to their Ameri can courage, and their sense of shame, hut the effect did not correspond with his hopes. There was no response ! Mortified and indignant, lie turned to the Carolina regiment, which he had ordered to withdraw until reinforced, and “the flag was still there.” Colonel Butler took ofl his eap’and Waivingit amid the storm, exclaimed, “the Palmetto’s are ready ! every South Carolinian here will follow you to the dealli “Onward !” cried the general, “this gal lant regiment,” lie said subsequently, “moved for ward firmly, and rapidly, under a tire of musketry, as terrible, perhaps, as any which soldiers ever faced.” This movement turned the tide of foriune and secured the victory, At one hundred yards the Palmetto regiment halted, to open fire on the Mexi cans, who were conceal ruling tlieir Hoops. Now came the heat of the conflict: our ranks were ra pidly thinned, but their place was supplied by the infantry of other regiments, that now, animated by the gallantry of the Carolinians, came to their sup port ; and amid the storm, the stir, the bloody strife, Col. Butler tell fighting bravely at ihe head of his heroes, being shot through the head from a cavalry escopette. •‘Revenge the death of your Colonel !” exclaimed Gen. Shield-, and ordered ihe famous charge. The regiment obeyed the call —they rustled forward, the officers bearing tho col ors of tlieir companies. The regimental staff hearer was shot down. Lieut. Cnl. Dickinson, seized the regimental flag, ami whilst waving it, he was shot down Major Gladden took the flag, and the place of Dickinson, and waved that glorious banner throughout the lerribl conflict Y’onng Adams fell with ihe colors of the Edgefield company, and Mo range, seizing the banner from the hands of thedying hero, bore it proudly through the fight,—and thus was the battle of Chernluisco fought and won ! * * See the. description of the baltle of Cherubuseo by General James Hammond.

Washington, April 25, 1853. Having some time since notified you of the character of the change in the diplomatic poli cy of this government which I believed the pre sent administration have determined on you will hardly be surprised at the selection of the Hon. Solon Borland to supply the vacancy in the Central American Mission caused by the declension of the Hon. John Slidell. He, more than any other democratic public man, known to me at least, is emphatically the man for the discharge of the duties about to be re quired of him. His Senatorial reputation is not equal to his deserts, as the sharp points of his character render him very unpopular with the men of the press here, who make or un make all the public men of the day. The very characteristic of his nature which seems most to prevent them from writing kindly of him, as a general thing, is, after all a rich and rare vir tue in any gentleman in his position. That is, it is notin him to appear all things to all men. He is really almost the only man in Congress who would not turn over his hand to earn a newspaper puff. This is well nigh a bar against all favorable “notices” of him, 1 am sorry to have to write you. As what he does and says in the Senate is for the most part only to be learned through the official reports, of course not one person in one hundred thousand has obtained any thing like a correct idea of the large amount of Se natorial labor which he has performed, of the extent of his legislative acquirements, of the vast general information which he possesses, or of the now very remarkable, never-faltering in tegrity of purpose which has characterized bis Senatorial career. On tho whole, the Hon. Solon Borland is the “singed cat” of the United States Senate, hav ing had all his good deeds kept from the public knowledge, as it were, while his bad ones have been blazoned forth with more industry than those of any other gentleman who has been in public life for the last twenty-five years.— There never was a man more proverbially ready for any emergency—for smashing a nose up to making, on the spur of the moment, an ar gument on the most intricate question, so filled with knock down facts and figures, as to carry his point over the heaviest array of newspaper made reputation, which can he brought to act in concert in the Senate Chamber. The Gov ernment of the United States want a represen tative in Central America who shall be compe tent to play over the diplomacy of the famous “man with the white hat,” of tho days of the annexation of Texas struggle, throwing in, now and then, a smart sprinkling of the activity and management of the never-to-be-forgotten Mr. Chatfield, without any of that gentleman’s per sonal blackguardism, however, for it is due to Borland to write, that the councils of the na tion never embraced a gentleman more strictly correct in his personal bearing under all cir cumstances. tie speaks the Spanish like a na tive, and will prove competent to wrestle, suc cessfully, with any one Britain may send to that quarter, as well as with any Central American Minister. The New Mexican Diffloulty. The New York Post gives the following ab stract of tho publication of Mr. Bartlett, late Commissioner oftlie United States to mark the boundary with Mexico. It is in reply to the statements in the warlike proclamation of Gov. Lane. First, he denies that New Mexico ever ex ercised jurisdiction over the Mecilla valley as alleged, asserting that, on the contrary, ever since 1825, Chihuahua has claimed and exer cised the jurisdiction of the territory. Second ly, he says that there are only 700, not 2,000 inhabitants in the disputed country, who are so far from desiring to be annexed to the Uni ted States, that when it was known the bounda ry determined by the commissioners included them in Mexico, they hailed the event with sal vos ofcaunon and every kind of rejoicing. Third 13', he remarks, that no force has ever been used by the State of Chihuahua to retain possession of her territory, although it is true that she has failed to “protect the inhabitants or the territo ry in question” “against border Indian depre dations,’’ in the same manner that Texas and New Mexico have failed to protect their people from similar depredations. So with re gard to the protection of the “inhabitants of the territory (in dispute) in their rights of per son and property the Mexican authorities have doubtless been lax in the administration of justice in the Mecilla valley, hut our author ities should say as little as possible about the protection of the inhabitants along the Rio Grande in their rights of property ; for a pite ous tale could he told of outrages committed by Americans on the Mexican population on our side of the Rio Grande which compelled them to abandon their homes in 1850, to seek an asylum within Mexican territory and found a colony’ in the Mecilla valley. Mr. Bartlett adds, that in regard to the state ment that “a large portion of the inhabitants now claim the protection of the United States, and solicit the re annexation of their territory to New Mexico,” ho can assert, on authority ob tained by him in New Mexico and Chihuahua, that the whole population of the Mecilla valley consists chiefly of people from New Mexico and Texas, of Spanish descent, who, failing to receive protection from our authorities after the late war with Mexico, colonized that place.” It is somewhat curious that these positions of the United States Commissioner correspond almost exactly with the reply to Gov. Lane made by Gov. Trias of Chihuahua. The fol lowing abstract of his reply is furnished by the New Orleans papers: “Governor Trias’ reply to Gov. Lane takes the ground that, the northern boundary from Chihuahua had formerly been much further north than at present ; that the treaty of Guad alupe Hidalgo had removed it much further south ; that, even if the territory claimed was disputed territory.it had been always in peace ful possession of Mexico ; that the argument that the respective Governments are not bound by the proceedings of the Boundary Commis sion is fallacious; and that, besides having been for time immemorial in possession of Mexico, it is now inhabited by people who em igrated there from New Mexico because they wished to continue Mexicans. He says, further, that even if some of the people did wish to change the sovereignty of the soil, they had no right to do it; and that, so far as protection from the Indians is concerned, the Mexican Government has done at least as much as the United States. Gov. Trias concludes by ask ing Gov. Lane if he has power to declare war.” The steamship America, which sailed from Boston for Liverpool yesterday, took out over one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in golden ingots. Number 20.
