POETRY.
The Horse and the Locomotive.
“Ila! ha !” said the horse, and he capered with glee
Hound the meadow that skirted the way,
“There’ll be very little more use now for me
To be harnessed to carriages—heigh 1
tVhat a curious creature they 've got to that train —
What a puflling and snorting he makes '
And ’tissaid that he eats neither fodder nor grain—
Wood and water are all that he takes.
His stomach is stronger than that of a horse,
To manage such horrible stufl
’Tis just as if I should eat fence rails, or worse,
And yet he has never enough !
And then what a spirit the fellow retains !
So tireless —his bottom is good ;
And he never turns tail to the winds or the rains,
And all must get out of his road!
And the old horse laughed loudly, “He ! he ! he ! he'
Let them drive on as fast as they please—
A fig for the railways—the meadows for me,
To ramble or rest at my case 1
And the horse capered on a spree of delight,
And I’ve nothing further to tell,
Tor I scarcely had time, ere we were out of sight,
To hid the old follow farewell.
The Season.
BY T. 1 iOOD.
Summer’s gone and over 1
Togs are falling down ;
And with russet tinges,
Autumn’s doing brown.
Boughs are daily rifled
By the. gusty thieves,
And the Book of Nature,
Getteth short of leaves.
Round the tops of houses,
•Swallows, as they flit,
Give like yearly tenants,
Notices to quit.
Skies, of fickle temper,
Weep by turns and laugh—
Night and Day together,
Taking half-and-half.
So September endeth—
Cold and most perverse—
But the months that follow,
Sure will pinch us worse.

From the New Mirror.
Byron's Death-Love and Warning.
[Told t» the writer by a lady who had been Byron's
intimate friend.]
It was getting; towards midnight when
a party of young noblemen came out from
one of the clubs of St. James street. The
servant of each, as he stepped upon the
pavement, threw up the wooden apron
of the cabriolet, and sprang to the head
of the horse ; but, as to the destination of
the equipages for the evening, there
seemed to be some dissensions among
the noble matters. Betwixt the line of
the coronctted vehicles, stood a hackney
coach, and a person in the attitude of ex
. pectancy pressed as near the exhilirated
group as lie could without exciting im
mediate attention.
“Which way!” said he, whose vehi
cle was nearest, standing with his foot
on the step.
“All together, of course,” said another,
“Let’s make a night of it.”
“Pardon me,” said the clear sweet
voice of the last out of the club ; “I se
cede tor one. Go your ways, gentle
men !”
“Now, what the deuce is afoot ?” said
the foremost, again stepping back oh the
sidewalk. “Don’t let him off, Fitz! Is
your cab here, Byron, or will you let me
drive you ? By Jove, you shan’t leave
us!”
“But you shall leave me, and so you
are not lorsworn, my friend ! In plain
phrase, 1 won't go with you ! And I
don’t know where I shall go; so spare
your curiosity the trouble of asking. 1
have a presentiment that I am wanted
by devil or angel—
“ I see a hand you cannot see.”
“And a very pretty hand it is, I dare
swear,” said the former speaker, jumping
into his cab and starting off with a spring
of his blood horse, followed by all the
vehicles at the club-door, save one.
Byron stood looking after them a mo
ment, and raised his hat and pressed his
hand hard on his forehead. The un
known person who had been lurking
near, sermed willing to leave him for a
moment to his thoughts, or was embar
rassed at approaching a stranger. As
Byron turned with his' halting step to de
scend the steps, however, he came sud
denly to his side.
“My lord !” he said, and was silent, as
if waiting permission to go on.
“Well,” replied Byron, turning to him
without the least surprise, and looking
closely into his face by the light ol the
street-lamp.
“I am come to you with an errand
whith perhaps ”
“A strange one, I am sure; but I am
prepared for it—l have been forewarned
of it. What do you require of me ? for i
am ready!”
“This is strange!” exclaimed the man.
“lias another messenger, then ”
“None except a spirit—for my heart
alone told me that I should be wanted at
this hour. Speak at once.”
“My lord, a dying girl has sent for
you !”
“Do I know her ?”
“She has never seen you. Will you
come at once—and on the way I will
explain to you what I can of this singu
lar errand; though, indeed, when it is
told you, you know all that i cornprc
itend.” 1
They were at the door of the hackney
coach, and Byron entered it without ma
king any further remark.
“Back again !” said the stranger, as the
coachntaft closed the door, and drive for
dear life, for we shall scarce be in time,
1 fear !”
The heavy longue of St. Paul’s church
struck twelve ns the lonely' vehicle hur
ried on through the now lonely street,
and though so far from the place from
whence they started, neither ol the two
occupants had spoken. Byron sat with
hare head and folded arms in the corner
of the coach ; and the stranger, with his
hat crowded over his eyes, seemed re
pressing some violent emotion ; and it
was only when they stopped before a
low door in a strreet close upon the river,
that the latter found utterance.
“Is she alive ?” lie hurriedly asked of
a woman who came out at the sound of
the carriage wheels.
“She was—a moment since—but be
quick!”
Byron followed quickly on the heels
of his companion, and passing through a
dimly lighted entry to the door of a back
room, they' entered. A lamp, shaded by
a curtain of spotless purity, threw a faint
light upon a bed, upon which lay a girl,
watched by' a physician and a nurse,—
The physician had just re'moved a small
mirror from her lips, and holding it to
the light, he whispered that' she still
breathed. As Byron passed the edge of
the curtain, however, the dying girl mo
ved the fingers of the hand lying on the
coverlet, and slowly opened on him her
languid eyes—eyes of inexorable depth
and lustre. No one had spoken.
“Here he is,” she murrnered. “Raise
me, mother, while 1 have time to speak
to him.”
Byron looked around the small cham
ber, trying in vain to break* the spell of
awe which the scence threw over him.
An apparition from the other world could j
not have checked more fearfully and
completely the worldly and scornful un
der current of his nature. He stood with
his heart beating almost-audibly, and his
knees trembled beneath him, awaiting
what lie prophetically felt to be a warn
ing from the very gate of Heaven.
Propped with pillows, and left by her
attendants, the. dying girl turned her
head towards the proud, noble poet,
standing by her bed side, and a slight
blush overspread her features, while a
smile of angelic beauty stole through her
lips. In that smile the face re-awakened
to its former loveliness, and seldom had
he who now gazed breathlessly upon
her, looked on such spiritual and incom
parable beauty. The spacious forehead
and noble cantour, still visible, of the
emaciated lips, bespoke genius impressed
upon a tablet all feminine ’in its lan
guage ; and in the motion of her hand,
and even in the slight movement of her
graceful neck, there was something that
still breathed of surpassing elegance, It
was the shadowy wreck of no ordinary
mortal passing away, humble as were the
surroundings, and strange as had been
his summons to her bedside.
“And this is Byron !” she said at last,
in a voice bewilderingsweeteven through
its weakness.
“My lord ! I could not die without
seeing you—without relieving my soul
of a mission with which it lias long been
burthened. Come nearer—for 1 have no
time kft for ceremony, and I must say
what I have to say—and die ! Beatiful,”
she said, “beautiful as the dream of him
which has so long haunted me ! the in
tellect and the person of a spirit of light!
Pardon me, my lord, that a moment so
important to yourself, the remembrance
of an earthly feeling has been bctrftyed
in expression.”
She paused a moment, and the bright
color that had shot through her cheek
and brow faded, and her countenance re
sumed its heavenly serenity.
“1 am near enough to death,” she re
sumed—“near enough to point you id
most to Heaven from where 1 am ; and
it is on my heart like the one errand of
my life—like the bidding of God—to im
plore you to prepare for judgment. Oh,
my lord! witii your glorious powers,
with your wondrous gilts, be not lost!
Do not, for the poor pleasures of a world
like this, lose an eternity in which your
great mind will outstrip the intelligence
ol angels. Measure this thought—scan
the worth of angelic bliss with the intel
lect which has ranged so gloriously'
through the universe ; do not, on this
one momentous suLject ol human inter
est —<?n this alone be not short-sighted.”
“What shall 1 do?” suddenly" burst
Irom Byron s lips in a tone of agony',
lint with an effort, as if struggling"\vith
a death-pang, he again drew up Ins form
and resumed the marble calmness of his
countenance.
The dying girl, meanlime, seemed to
have 4fe|t herself in prayer. With her
wastetWands clasped on her bosom, and
her eyes turned upwards, the slight mo
tion ol her lips betrayed to those around
her that she was pleading at the throne
ol mercy. '1 he physician crept close to
her bedside, but with his hand in his
breast, and liis head bowed, he seemed
but watching lor the moment when the
soul should take liight.
She suddenly raided herself on the pil
low. Her long brown tresses fell over
her shoulders, and a brightness unnatu
ral and almost fearful kindled in her
eyes. She seemed endeavoring to speak
and gazed steadfastly at Byron. Slowly,
then and tranquilly she sank back again
upon her pillow, and as her hands fell
apart, and her eyelids dropped, she mur
mured. “Corne to heaven !” and the still
ness of death was in the room.—The
spirit had lied. J\. P. W.

As the most direct and effective mode of securing

THE GAZETTE.
The time has arrived, when, it has become neces
sary for the Friends of Free Trade to unite in sus
taining their cause.
The commercial community and agricultural pop
ulation of the country, have been subjected to the
operation of an unequai and unjust Tariff Law. A
law, admitted by its framers and advocates, to have
been hastily devised and hurriedly acted on, forced
through Congress at the close of an extrasession,
and adopted by a single casting vote. A law, which
makes forced loans from importers, in the way of
cash duties, amounting ou an average to 30 per cent,
of their capital. A law, which by heavily taxing ma
terials used in ship building, being equal to 85 per
ton, which, on a vessel of 600 tons, amounts to the
enormous sum of 33,500 is driving our ships from the
foreign carrying trade. Foreign and cheaper built
vessels monopolize to a great extent, the business
which was formerly done by our ships.
The friends of Free Trade, contend that justice to
the Merchants, Ship Builders, and Ship Owners, and
to the Farmers of the country, demands an immedi
ate modification of this oppressiv%Tariff Law. They
contend, that, the Agriculturaf and Commercial in
terests of the United Slates are indissolubly united.
That, the prosperity and extension of trade and com
merce, necessarily promotes the extension and pros
perity of agriculture.
They believe the power granted to Congress by
the Constitution, to regulate commerce, was not in
tended to be used for its destruction.
They believe it bad policy for the government, in
.time of profound peace, under pretence of passing a
revenue bill, to pass a bill destroying revenue, and
then borrow money with which to carry on the gov
ernment, and at the same time laying the foundation
of a large public debt.
They believe a crisis has been reached in the af
fairs of the country, when these measures must be
met, resisted and overcome, by the united and effi
cient action of the friends of free trade.
From the signs of the times, should the advocates
of commercial restriction and unequal taxation, suc
ceed in electing their candidate for the Presidency,
the disastrous result will be, that we shall have the
’severe grievances of which we justly complain, fas
tened upon us as the permanent policy of il*c*couu
try-
To avoid an event fraught with such evil conse
quences, it behooves us to unite with others in the
support of a Free Trade Candidate for the Presiden
cy. The time for action is short. In a few more
mouths, an individual maybe selected, as President,
whose opinions, power and influence, might be fear
fully exerted against us. Or one, whose views, feel
ings and opinions coincide with our own.
Something should bo done. At the present time,
the Press of this city occupies a position unfavorable
to the success of our cause. The necessity for a
new paper is evident, from the fact that at present,
none of the papers of this city advocate to the full
extent, and with sufficient energy and zeal, the pnn
ciples for w’hich « e contend.
A paper of this character seems at the presen
juncture indispensable. It should he in its ends and
aims, essentially a Free Trade paper; andat the s4ine
time, advocate the claims to office, of men in whose
undisguised principles, we might place the most in>
plicit confidence.
A Committee of Free Trade Gentlemen, have
been urbanized to solicit subscriptions from persons
disposed to contribute means, towards starting in this
city, as soon as practicable, anew Comercial and
Free Trade paper, with the intention, at the same
time of lending its honest and fair support for the
Presidency, to the candidate whose opinions are well
known to be favorable to a liberal Commercial policy.
Writers of acknowledged ability, zeal and indus
try, will have charge of the Editorial columns.
Talents of the highest order will be engaged to
take charge of the respective Departments of the
paper.
Tlie state of the Money Market, with Reports of
Banks, Incorporated Joint Stock Companies, Procee
dings of Congress, and of State Legislatures, in re
lation to all financial affairs, with regular tables of
Exchange Domestic and Foreign, combined with
geneva! groupings of all monetary movements taking
place in all parts of the civilized world, will form a
permanent feature of the paper.
Another department of the paper will be devoted
to information concerning the stnte of the principal
Markets of the tvorld for Agricultural products. Cor
respondence will also be established with the farm
ing and planting districts of the interior, in order to
obtain the latest news of the extent and prospects of
the growing crops.
Your aid in promoting the objects expressed in
the above circular, is respectfully solicited, with that
of your friends, which can he remitted by mail, in
the way of subscribers, or other contributions, to the
address of I. F. Hutton, 47 1-2 Wall street, or to E.

PROPOSALS.—{t is proposed to publish a paper
that in connection with the objects above expressed,
shall also support the claims of the Hon. JOHN C.
CALHOUN, for the Presidency of the United Slates,
subject to the decision of a National Convention of
Delegates, sent directly from the People.

THE PETERSBURG REPUBLICAN.
Bf.lieving the present to he a crisis too important to
the interests of the Democratic party to allow any press
devoted to its cause to sink for want of support, the
subscriber has, at the instance of many friends, con
sented to assume the editorial guidance of the Peters
burg Republican.
Recognizing in the late temporary defeat of Democ
racy the necessity of recurrence for future success to
the fundamental principles of Slates’ Rights, and their
strict application to all Federal issues. The Republi
can wilt neither in itself exhibit laxity of political faith,
nor tolerate its indulgence in others, but will undevia
ttngly adhere to the noble principles, as admirably em
bodied by one of our distinguished Statesmen —“Free
trade ; low duties ;no debt; seperation from Banks ;
economy; retrenchment; and strict adherance to the
Constitution.”
The successful maintenance’ and permanent estab
lishment of this wise and just system of measures must
greatly depend on the judicious selection of the Demo
cratic candidate for the next Presidency, and believing
the ninplest guarantee of these important ends to be
afforded by the eminent abilities and unsullied faith of
JOHN C. CALHOUN, the Republican will advocate
Ins claims to the nomination of the National Conven
tion. These claims will be enforced with due respect
to tiic preferences of others, and the cordial support of
this press will he given fto the Nominee of a Conven
tion so assembled as to be general, and so constituted
as to give a clear expression to the will of the majority.
The Petersburg Republican will, as heretofore, he
published three tunes a week, at live Dollars per an
num, aiways payable in advance.

Monday in June, until which time ail communications
will he addressed to him (post paid; Richmond.

PROSPECTUS
OP THE
CHEROKEE ADVOCATE.
TIIE undersigned, nt the solicitation of many friends
proposes to publish, in the village of Marietta, Cobb
County Georgia, a weekly newspsper under the abovel
title. He is assured that a well conducted newspaper
is much wanted in this region, and so far as his humble
efforts will go, should he meet with encouragement,
the Advocate shall add to the reputation of the Chero
kee Country, affording as it does, the most salubrious
clime, with a fertile and productive soil, not surpassed
in the Union.
The Advocate will be decided in its poli ics, while at
the same lime due respect will be paid to the opinions
of those who may diff r with us. Believing in a strict
construction of the Constitution, as the only sure guar
antee to the Institutions of the South, and of the two
great parties now before the country, that the Demo
cratic Party, with John C. Calhoun at its head, is the
one on which to look for the carrying out those princi
pies, the Advocate will support the principles of that
Party, and the man, whoever he may be, selected by
the National Convention to carry out its principles.
Agriculture —thatmost impertant branch of industry,
will not be neglected in the pages of the Advocate.
To this branch we shall devote much attention, and in
addition, to such selected articles, as may be of interest
to this section, we will endeaver to procure the assis
tance of the formers in Western Georgia, who, by giv
ing their own experience and mode of cultute, wil
bring forward others, and thus all reap a benefit.
The Advocate may also be looked to for such items
of news as we may receive from different sections of
the country, and a portion of its pages will be devoted
to light reading. It will be an object of the undersigned
to make the Advocate such a paper as every subscriber
will feel a pleasure in perusing himself, and in placing
before his family, and when his year expires, renew his
subscription with a smile on his countenance.
The Advocate will be printed on an Imperial sheet
with new type, press, &c. at Three Dollars per an
num, in advance—no subscription will be taken for
less than a year- Advertisements will be inserted at
One Dollar per square of twelve lines for the first inser

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.
This work has now been a year before the public,
during which period its reputation has been so suc
cessfully established, and its circulation so widely
extended, as to justify the hope and belief that it will
long continue to be one of the principal organa of
Southeru Political Interests, and one of the chief or
naments of Southern Literature. The brilliant
character of the late Southern Review shed around
Charleston and the South, a halo which will not soon
be forgotten ” the Southern (Quarterly has risen, af
ter many toilsome efforts, from its ashes, and it is
trusted that it will prove itself a worthy successor of
the glory of the former. Nothing more is now re
quisite to ensure its permanence than the continued
and cordial support of the inhabitants of the South
ern portions of the Union; and an appeal is confi
dently made to the generous and patriotic feelings
of all Southerners, not to suffer the present Review
to languish from the want of that sustenance which
they can so well afford.
In its political character this Review will be Dem
ocratic, and while avoiding carefully schims merely
local in their nature, it will strenuously uphold South
ern Interests, and advocate all questions of national
importance with boldness and freedom. It is not in
tended, however, absolutely to exclude all articles
maintaining principles different from our own; but if
otherwise worthy of admission, they will be inserted
with a notice that the Editors do not hold themselves
responsible for the doctrines alleged. All religious
discussions of a sectarian nature will be seduously
eschewed, and the Review will preserve a perfect
impartiality towards all religious denominations.
The work will be printed on the best paper, and
with the best type, and every exertion will be made
to render it worthy of the patronatre of the public
generally. It will be issued quarterly from Charles
ton, in Jauuary, April, July and October; and arrange
ments have been made, since its romobal to this city,
to insure the regular and punctual delivery of every
number a3 it appears, so that no disappointment may
hareafter arise from any failure in this respect.
Mr. Ritchie having withdrawn from the work, the
Subscrber, in order that more time and attention
rnay he devoted to its improvement, and to the accu
racy and excellence of eac number, has associated
with himself in the Editorial rganagement of the
Review, that distinguished scholar, G. Frederick
Holmes, Esq. of Oransreburg, and every effort will
he made on the part of both to give every satisfaction
to its patrons.
In consequence of the removal of the Southern
Review to Charleston, nnd the reduction in the ex
penses of printingand publishing attendant thereon,
the price of the wo k will henceforward be reduced
from Ten Dollars to Five Dollars, payable annually
in advance. Ihe fifth number, which will corn-
L-nce anotlm year, w;Jt appear early in January,
1 43, for wlnc.i abundant material have been already
procured. Many of the best writers and most pro
•ou'nd scholars of the country have already pledged
themselves to furnish articles for the ensuing year,
and the list of contributors is daily ncreaoing in
talent, in respectability and in number;
General Agents for the work —Sila s Howe, Esq.,
for Charleston; Win. Maybin, Esq., for olumhia and
the upper districts of South Carolina and John C.
Walker, Esq., for New Orleans and the South-Wes
tern States. The names of other agens upon the
cover of the Review.
All communications may he addressed, post paid,
