POETRY. m - STANZA3.-By TV. O Eaton. In the troubled hour* of a wintry night There coate* to my spirit a deep delight, Whose generous thrill in mv bosom glows, As welcome there as the sun to the rose, On a dreary day when the winds are chill And the glistering frost is on the hill. The bee gleaneth honey where thorns arise; On the desolate waste the sunlight Ties; The green vines grow o’er the mouldering tower And an odor breathes from the dying (lower; On consumption's cheek there’s a heavenly bloom; A beautiful light in her languid eye, And the glories round and beyond the tomb Steal the stings of death and the Par to die. There is not an ill in this world of ours That leadeth us not unto wisdom's bowers; The stormiest wave unbosoms a treasure — There is not a sorrow unn.rngled with pleasure; A moral is taught by the darkest crime, — E'en the features of wo have a grace sublime, — For the soul is bowed by her magic tod, And her finger points to the realms of God! Oh! when the wild winds, in reinless career, Bound o’er the white earth like the hunted deer, Impetuous whirl through the snow-veiled sky, Those steeds of the storm as along they fly, Pervade the wide air wherever they prowl With a lively whistle or mournful howl, Or a music known to themselves alone, Taught by the storm on his cloud-circled throno, Where th*. lightning-flashes of heaven float, And the thunder applauds each new-born note. To hear their harmony breathing so free, Those motley murmurs of sorrow or glee, To the strieken heart is a nameless balm As it holds with them a communion calm. In the hush of night 1 hark to their voice By the blaze of the hearth when none are nigh, And the lonely post of my spirit’s choice Is hallowed by rapture, —who knows not why 1 The whispering sweet which the winds repeat In a tongue though foreign, to me is known, Anil the throbs of my heart responsive beat To the social flow of each mellow tone. THE ELF-KlNG.— Goethe. Who rideth so late through storm and night 1 A father it is with a burden light; He safely carries a boy on his arm— He presses him firmly—he keeps him warm. “ My son, thou hidest thy face in fear !” •‘O father! seest not thou the elf-king near? See’st not thou the elf-king with sceptre and crown 7” “ My son, ’tis a shadow upon the down.” “ Thou lovely child, come go with me, For the beautiful spurts will 1 [day with thee; With my pretty garden flowers thou’lt live, And glittering clothes will my mother give.” u My father, my father, and dost thou not hear What the elf king whispers so low in my ear?” “ Be quiet, be quiet, my darling child, ’Tis the dry leaves rustling in the wild.” " 0 beautiful boy with me go ? My daughters shall all their treasures show; My daughters shall round thee their night watch kerp And rock thee, ane dance thee, and sing thee to sleep,” u My father, my father, and sce’st not thou there The elf-king’s daughters with long black hair?” “ My son, my son, I see well enow— ’Tis the old grey willow with weeping bough.” “I love thee, I joy in thy countenance bright, And if thou’rt not willing, I'll use my might.” “My father,my father, I’m hurt! 1 trow The elf king's hand is laid on me now!” Now swift rules the father, with terror’*alarms, He holds tire horror-struck boy in his arms; He reaches his court yard with labor and dread— In his father's arms the boy was dead! Ncio Orleans Courier. Literary (Jem*.” The following beautiful extracts are from the works of Miss F. Bremer: The Spirit of I,ovc. Meanwhile the spring appeared. With an expression of God’s love, the sun smiled down upon the earth ; she felt it, awoke from her sleep, and breathed out . her morning prayer, in the silent but de licious fragrance of the fresh flowers. I would gladly know what goes on within yon, O Earth, when thy birds began to sing, thy waves to dance, when thou nr rayest thyself in so beautiful a garment, that, even under the shadows of night, the stars of heaven and the eyes of men look upon thee with love, when millions of small winged beings arise from thy flower-beds, and fill the air with the harmonious murmur of their gay exist ence, when a thrill of joy goes through their veins, when the whole inspired na ture is a look of love and a hymn of glad ness; I would gladly know, if thou feel est the gladness which goes out from thee, the infinite delight which thou causest. What Iktiow is, that thou giv est new life to the heart of man ; to his blood a quicker circulation ; that thou deliverest his spirit from the oppressive gray winter of life, that, resting on the bosom of Nature, he can teel a joy inde pendent of all things else, a pure feeling of love of life, a love of living. O ! that 1 could leed out whoever is sick, in body or mind, on a spring morning; lay him among the young flowers; let him look up to the dark "blue sky, and on the blight and living splendor of the earth about him ; let him feel the warmth of the sun-beams, healing coolness of the air. all the sweet influences of life and of nature, which speaks to the heart like the voice of a friend, like a smile from God. Certainly, the unhappy man would here forget for a time the ungrateful one who has injured him ; forget the cares which are wasting away the threads of his life ; even remorse would here lie still ed, believing in forgiveness; the often de ceived Would hope anew ; certainly the child sorrow would, before, his death, have a few hours of undisturbed falicity; when the evening comes, -he could still look back upon this spring morning and say: “[ too have been happy upon the earth.” • ? * ' Fame and Immortality. “The consequences which the actions of men bring after them commonly lie out of their power to complete. A small seed may grow up to a great tree, a bla zing lire may be smothered in ashes. — Whether the victories of heroes have done more for humanity, than the unob trusive life of love of an unknown man, is only seen by the Allseeing Eye above us. Let each one do the good that is in his path and in his calling, and his work shall remain, even if it seem to pass a way, and will bear fruit in its time.— Honorable fame, my best Edla,” he con tinued, turning towards her a full and affectionate glance, “must not be con founded with immortality on earth.— A name may be repeated by millions through centuries of years—that is fame. The good which yon think and do. the spirit which goes from you, and which lives and perpetuates itself through end less generations, this is true immortality upon the earth.” Children, And children children Oh! ye small, lovely, beautiful, innocent beings, darlings of God and man, the spring seems made for you, and you for the spring, when I see you among the flowers the brilliant butterflies hovering around you, I know not what more beautiful a higher world can give. Love. The genius of love comes into lift- be fore that of art.—There are men who perform noble deeds, others who sing and immortalize their actions. Without a deep powerful love, which causes rela tions and friends to act and suffer for each other, without actions which show that ‘love is stronger than death,” pencil and chisel would not have brought tears to her eyes, and music w ould have been bnt-a plaything. It is the inspiring glance of love which gives words of fire to the artist’s lips—they can utter no thing beautiful which that has not first dictated,” The Martyrs for truth. “It is good lo read of the noble hearts which have beat, —which have bled for eternal truths. One feels one’s self near this ocean of power and love, as a drop, a little drop. Humbly to know one’s self is good. If the drop suffers, what is that to the great whole? Canons bleed; the lives of heroes pass away in fetters; —droop, complain not!” Admiration. “Admiration, —rich source of enjoy ment! Why art thou not more sought? Thy pure streams will never scorch the thirsting; now upon this little earth he can be refreshed bv thee; after thousands and thousands of years, in a higher un folding of God’s infinite creation, shall he drink of thy ever young, thy ever fresh waters. The pleasure which thou givest is pure, and followed by no pain. Happy those who early learn to admire what is worthy of admiration!” Love and Reconciliation. It is a glorious thing,—and those who truly love know well how glorious it is— after moments of misunderstanding, even of reciprocal trausgression, to rest again, heart, to heart and to feel, deeply feel, that there is a certainty in the world, in spite of nil the powers of hell, a certainty which is heaven upon earth, —that they love each other, that belong to each other, that nothing, in the world shall separate them, who have found each other again in true, in perfect love.—O! this is a certainty, the most beautified (hat there is on earth, —a certainty, which is the foundation and security for every other. He felt it truly, the man, who, when about to leave the stage of life, laid his hands upon his heart and said: “llove, therefore, 1 am immortal!” John Mazeppa, a Polish gentleman, born in the palatinate of PoJo it, was ed ucated as the page of John Cassimir, and, at his court, became acquainted with let ters. An intrigue in his youth with the wife of a Polish gentleman, caused him to be bound, naked, to the back of a wild horse. “‘Bring forth the horse’’—the horse was brought; In truth he was a noble steed, A Tartar of the Ukraine breed; Who looked as though the speed of thought Were in his lim! s ; but he was wild, Wild as the wild deer, and untaught; With spur and bridle undefiled 'Twas but a day he had been caught; And snorting, with erected mane, And struggling lieicely, but in vain. In the full fount of wrath and dread, To him tile desert born was led.’ : —Byron. On being loosed, the horse, which was of the Ukraine, returned thither, bearing Mazeppa, who arrived, half dead with hunger and fatigue. Some peasants of f-red him succor; he remained a long time among them, signalizing himself in many exertions against the Tartars. The superiority of his understanding acquired him the respect of the Cossacks, and, in consequence of his increasing reputation, the czar was constrained to make him Prince of the Ukraine. He, however, joined Charles XII, and fougilt for him at the fatal battle of Pultawa. In some parts of Germany, during the feudal times, an infringement of the for est-laws, was punished by chaining the offender to the hack of a wild stap, which hounded away with him, through thorny thickets, and wild passes, until death re lieved him of his sufferings. Anti-Corn Law League. A glorious war for the liberty of trade is now going on in England, and will speedily sweep away every vestige of the old uud decaying system of protection. A gentleman who recently visited the vast establishment of the League in Lon don, says they send out from it every month a ton of pamphlets. The count the result as already certain. It is a no ble movement. Musical Idea. —A young musician, on liis first appearance before the public, said hetrembled so that lie could'nt shake M. S.

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 amt hurriedly acted on, forced through Congress at the close of an extra session, and adopted by a single casting vote. A law, which makes forced loans from importers, in the way of cash duties, amounting on 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 lo the enormous sum of 83,500 is driving cur 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 oppressive Tariff Law. They contend, that, the Agricultural and Commercial in terests of the United States arc 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 regulaie commerce, was not in tended to be used for its destruction. They believe it bad policy for the government, in time of profound peace, tinder 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 bclirve a crisis has been reached in the af fairs of the country, when these measures must be met, resisted and ove/come, 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 the coun try. To avoid an event fraught wdth 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 months, an individual may be selected, as President, whose opinions, power and influence, might he fear fully exerted against us. Or one, whose views, feel ings and opinions coincide with our own. Something should be done. At the present time, the Press of this city occupies a position unfavorable to tiie 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 ptin ciples for which we 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; and at the same time, advocate the claims to office, of men in whose undisguised principles, we might place the most ii»‘ plicit confidence. A Committee of Free Trade Gentlemen, have been organized to solicit subscriptions from persons disposed to contribute means, towards starting in this city, as soon as practicable, anew Comercia! and Free Trade paper, with the intention, at the same time of lending its honest and fair support for the Presidency, to the candidate v hose opinions are well known to he favorablo to a liberal Commercial policy. Writers of acknowledged ability, zeal and indus try, will have charge of the F.ditorial columns. Talents of the highest order will be engaged to take charge of the respective Departments of the paper. The 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 tallies of Exchange Domestic and Foreign, combined with general groupings of all monetary movements taking plate 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 state of the principal Markets of the world for Agricultural products. Cor respondence will also be established w ith 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 triends, which can be 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. B. Hart, 18 Wall street, New Y'ork. PROPOSALS.—It 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 States, subject to the decision of a National Convention of Delegates, sent directly from the People. A Daily and Weekly paper, will be issued, of the full ordinary size, printed on good paper and with en tire new type. The price for the Daily will be 86 00 and for the Weekly, 83 00 per annum, payable in all cases, in advance. Single copies of the Daily will be two cents, and and of the Weekly, six cents each. Postmasters are authorised by a law of Congress to remit funds or subscriptions for newspapers free of expense. Mew York, September, 1343. THE PETERSBURG REPUBLICAN. Believing the present to be a crisis too important to (be interests of the Democratic party to allow any press devoted toils cause to sink for want of support, (he subscriber has, at the instance ol 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 States’ Rights, and iheir strict application to all Federal issues. The Republi can wili neither in itself exhibit laxity of political fault, nor tolerate its indulgence in others, but will undevia tingly 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; re trenchment; and strict adherence to the Constitution.” The Successful maintenance''and permanent estnb bailment ol this w ise and just system of measures must greatly depend on the judicious selection of the Demo cratic candidate for the next Presidency, and believing the amplest guarantee of these important tnds to be afforded by the eminent abilities and unsullied faith of JO! IN C. CALHOUN, the Republican will advocate his claims to ihe noaination of the National Conven tion. The sc claims wth be enforced with due respect to the preferences of others, and the cordinl support of this press will be given to the Nominee of a Conven tion so assembled as to be general, ar.d so constituted as to give a clear expression to the w ill of the majority. The Petersburg Republican will, as heretofore, In published three Lines a week, at Five Dollars per an num, tijways payable in advance.

Rwhisiegd, Diet Mu*. «w PROSPECTUS * OP TIIE CHEROKEE ADVOCATE. THE undersigned, at the solicitation of many friends proposes to publish, in the village of Marietta, Cobb County Georgia, a weekly newspaper under tne uhovet title. He is assured that a weil conducted newspaper is much wanted in this region, and so lar as his humble erturia will go, should he meet with encouragement, the Advocate shall add to the re|>utation of the Chero kee Country, affording as it does,'die most ea übrtuus clime, w ith a fertile and productive soil, not surpassed in tiie Union. The Advocate will be decided in its poll ics, while at the same time due res reel will he paid to the opinions of those who may diff r with us. Believing in a stricl 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 . Cai.ho"N at its head, is the one on which to look for the carrying out those princi pies, the Advocate will support ihe principles ot that Party, and the man, whoever he may be, selected by the National Convention to carry out its principles. Agriculture —that most impt riant 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 he of interest to this section, we will rndeaverto procure the assis tance of the larmersin Weste-n Georgia, who, by giv ing their own experience and mode of culture, will bring forward others,and thus all reap a benefit.
