It is n blessed hour. * he star Of ev< niitg lights the sleeping wave, And blossoms in its purple heme, A liiiy on the dewy grave Of purled t. i'ighi. Its soft beam C .-mes purely du*n o’er hill and stream, As «f it bore to sinners here Sweet tidings from a holier sphere. OV r yon blue rocks the lonely tree# In shadowy groups recline, Like pensive Nuns at evening bowed Around their holy shrine; An ' through their leaves the night winds blow S'i calm and still; their music low Seems the mv^terioqs voice of prayer Faint echoed cn the evening air. The mists go up from lake and stream, Like incense to a God beloved, And o’er the glowing waters move, As first the Holy Spirit moved— The tcrrenl’s voice, the wave’s low hymn, S* '"to the fair songs of Seraphim, And clearer glows yon veil of blue, As Eden's light were breaking through. There is a dream of blessedness In every bee of earth and heaven, And the calm farce of nature w-°ars The sweet look of a saint forgiven: Oh v» ho oil such an eve can feel Heaven’s purest influence o’er him steal, And snustr upon the glories there— Nat kneel with nature’s self in prayer! FROM THE KNOXVILLE REGISTER. GREECE. Freedom’s flag again is streaming, O’er her native, classic land ; Fre d« m’s star again is bcuminp, Thousands ri3C at her command. See the light of Heaven descending ! The Gud cf war in terror speaks ; Minerva o’er her allars bending, Proclaims,—deliverance to the Greeks! See the Turk in terror flying! Greece no longer bears a slave; Tyranny is prostrate lying ; Freedom triumphs o’er hi* grave. Poets, orator*, and cages, Again shall charm the captive throng: The muse, whose lyre has slept for ages, Shall wave her long forgotten song. Land of arts and classic story! Columbia greet thee with applause ; Exults in all thy deeds of glory. And shares with thee the sacred cause. VOW H ATT AN. When this pursuit takes place at night, and near the ship, the flying fish, like ail its finny tribe, is strongly attached by light, flies toward :t. perhap3 for protection, and entersffny part of the vessel, where it may he placed. Lan terns are sometimes set out for this purpose on the chains; and another caught there woe »f terwards brought to me. It vras the light be tween decks, gleaming through the port-holes, that attracted the fish to the boy’s hummock, when the little-creature accidently took refuge in the lad s bosom. Had such an incident oc curred in the days of Ovidjno doubt he would have invented some mythological metamorpho sis to account for it, and would have made a pretty tale ol the loves of the sailor boy and the flying fish. msCEXiliANY. .iXD C02CUEXS9ICN BUSKfSSS. rDilE undersign -u gratefully acknowledge ir e iio.-tal ■ patronage with which tiny have, been lavu'c.d in the above line, and resp. clfully inform the public aril they continue its transaction in the City, unit that tiicrr faith* kul and undivided attention will be devoted to the busi ness of Uieir patrons.

August 38 8 4m THE FLYING FISH. Dr. Walsh, in his work on Brazil, gives (he annexed description of this singular inhabitant of ihe deep. The flying fish t* distinguished by its im mense tins, situated immediately behind the gills, which it uees as wings when it wishes lo change its element. Thi y generally flow for ty or fifty yards, when they met a wave, and olunging into the hosom of it, disappeared — A few rose over the crest, and, apparently br.lhmg their wings in the spray, pursued their flight with renovated powers. 1 know no ob- jf-ct of natural history more interesting than a flock of stormy pettrels sirorting among a shoal •jf flying fish, and ternating with each other’s elements, the little bird descending into the depths of the sea, and becoming an inhabitant of the water, and the fish ascending to the heights of the atmosphere, and becoming an inhabitant of the air. It is one of those ex quisitely curious and beautiful links in the great chain of creation, by which we suppose spiritu al. aL>d we know corporeal beings are connect ed; forming a regular and insensible gradatioi of existences, from the ministering angels be low God’s throne, to he lowest mass of unor ganized matter. A singular occurence took place in the evening: About 8 o’clock, a bov had got into a hammock, w hich w’as swung on the main deck, opposite a port. He was sud denly startled from his sleep by some living thing exceedingly cold, fluttering about his breast, and finally nestling in his bosom, lie started out of bed in affright, and, searching his hammock, he found a large flying fish pant ing and gasping under the cloti es. It was im ei'jd’ntcfy brought to me as a curiosity, and I examined and sketched it It was 9 inches long, blue and mottled on the back like a mack erel, tiie head scaly, and the mouth toothless; the belly was white, flat, tnd angular; the tail was unequal, the lower division being longer thaD the upper; the wings wore too membra> neons fins, of a triangular shape, about 4 inch es long, consisting of eleven strong ribs branch ing ofl from a point, dividing and sub dividing with great regularity-as they expanded, and connected by a transparent and very beautiful membrane, which presented a considerable surface to the air. They were attached to the shoulders cf the fish, between the gills, at the apex oi* the angle, by muscles uncommonly strong, and of a solidity and tenacity very diffe* rent from the substance of the body. 1 ate part of the fish broiled, and found it very good, exceeding a herring in firmness and flavour.— The roc. however, was very strong, and to a certain degree pungent and caustic. A rare and beautiful species or a variety, of this fish is sometimes found in the Mediterranean, hav ing four wings, or long fins, inserted behind the gills; the body is a bright violet colour, co vered with scales which easily come off; the head flat and smooth, and the frontal bone so transparent that the brain is seen through it. The apparent motive which induces this fish to leave its proper element, is to avoid the pursuit of its numerous enemies which every where persecute it—bonitos, albicores, but particularly dolphins. These last we constant ly saw bounding after them, and frequently out of the water, their bright green backs and sil ver bellies presenting very beautiful objects. From Malcom's Sketches. - ARAB HORSE DEALERS. “Hyder, the elchee’s master of the chase, was the person who imparted knowledge to me on all subjects relating to Arabian horses. He would descant by the hour on the qualities ol a colt that was yet untried, but which he concluded must possess all the perfection of its sire and dam with whose histories, aud that of ihoir progenitors, he was well acquainted Hyder had shares in five or six famous blood mares; & he told me a mare vras sometimes divi ded among ten or twelve Arabs, which accoun ted for the groups of half nacked fellows whom I saw watching wilh anxiety, the pro gress made by their managing partner in a bar gain made for one of the produce; They often display on these occasions no small violence of temper; and I have more than once observed a party leading off their ragged colt iu a per fect fury, at the blood of DagheeorShumehtec or some renowned sire or grand sire, being de preciated by an inadequate offer, from ao igno rant Indian or European. "The Arabs still place more value on their mares than on their horses, but even the latter are sornt>mes esteemed beyond all price.-— When the envoy, returning from his mission was encamped near Bagdad, an Arab rodtf a a bright bay horse of extraordinary beauty be - fore his tent, till he attracted his notice: On being asked if he would sell him—What will you give me 1 ? said he ‘It depends upon his age; I suppose he is past fivel’ ’Guess again’ was the repiy. ‘Four.’ ’Look at his mouiL said the Arab with a smile. On examination he was found rising three; this, from his size and perfect symmetry, greatly enhanced hi. 5 value. The envoy said, T will give you fifty tomans.’* ‘A little more if you please,’ said the fi How, apparently entertained. Eighty! —a hundred!’ He shook his head and smiled. The offer came at last to two hundred tomans ! ’Well’ said the Arab, seemingly quite satisfied, you need not tempt me any fart her-it is of no use; you are a fine elchee; you have fine horses, camels and mules, and I am told you have loads of silver and gold; ‘now,’ adiied he, ‘you want my colt, but you shall not have him for all you have got.’ So saying, he rode off to the des ert, whence he had come, and where he, no doubt, amused his brethren with an account of what had passed between him and the Eu ropean envoy. “Inquiry was made ef some officers of the Pasha of Bagdad, respecting this young man; they did not know him, but conjectured that, uotwitnstanding his homely appearance, he was the son or brother of a chief, or perhaps himself the head of a family, and such Arabs, they said, wnen in comparative affluence, no money could bribe to sell u horse like the one described. “I was one day relating the story to Abdul la Aga, the former Governor of Bussorab, who was ut Ahusheber, having been obliged to fly from Turkey. He told me that when in au thorily, he several times had great trouble in adjusting disputes among Arab tribes, regard if g a horse or mare which had been carried off by one of them from another; not on account of the value of the animal, that having been often offered them but from jealousy of their neighbors becoming possessed of a breed ot horses which they desired to remain exclu sjvely in their own tribe An Arab shaikh or ctdefhe told me, who lived within fifty miles ofBussoruh, had a lavorite breed of horses.— He lost one of his best mares, and could not for a long time discover whether she was stolen or had strayed. Some time afterwards, young man of a different tribe, who had long wished to marry his daughter, but had always been rejected by the shaikh, obtained the la dy’s consent and eloped with her. The shaikh and his followers pursued; but the lover and his mistress, mounted on the same horse, made a wonderful march and escaped. The old chief s wore that the fellow was either moun ted or the devil or the favorite he had lost. After his return he found, on enquiry, that the latter was the case; that the lover was the thief of his mare as well as of his daughter, and that he had stolen the one for the purpose of carrying of the other. He was quitegrati- fied to think he had not been beaten by a horse of another breed, and was easily reconciled to the young man, in order that he ought recover the mare, which appeared an object for which he was more solicitous than his daughter.” Lavaletie’s Dream when in prison under sen tence of death. The following striking relation is from the Foreign Literary Gazette, iu a review of La vaUette’s Memoirs;— “One night,” says M Lavalette, “I had sunk ioto a torpid slumber; the clock struck the hour of midnight, and the slow, monotonous sound awoke me. I distinctly heard the iron gate open, and the heavy tread of the sentry advancing to relieve his comrade from his pqst. I fell asleep a second time. In my sleep I had a dream. I thought myself in the* Rue St. Ho- nore, Yiear the Rue de 1’Echbelle; the scene was enveloped in profound and dismal obscu rity; all was still, save that from time to time a low, inarticulate sound was heard. All at once, from the bottom of the street, a troop of fleshless men and horses approached me.— The riders were armed with flambeaus, whose light glared redly c:i their bleeding sinews, their sunken eyes rolled in their large orbits, Iheir mouths opening from ear to ear, and hel- me1s of flesh hanging from their hideous heads. The horses dragged their hides after them in the kennel, which overflowed with blood to the houses on each side, at the windows of which appeared fora moment, and then disap peared, ;t band of pale dishevelled females, all sifout a* th« crave. Low inarticulate moan- ings were heard in the air. I was the only liv ing being iu the street, where I remained mo tionless with terror, without even strength to seek safety in flight. The fleshless troop pushed on at full gallop; and as they passed, other riders succeeded and petrified me with their appalling gaze. For upwards of five hours they filed past. At last they disap peared, and, were succeeded by a quantity of artillery waggons laden with mangled, palpita ting corpses; an infectious odour poisoning the air. On a sudden, the iron gate was shut with violence and I awoke. I struck my re peating watch—it was no more (ban twelve! Consequently, the horrid phantasmagoria scene had lasted only two or three minutes—the time necessary for relieving the centrics and closing the gate. The night wa9 pierciDg cold.* tho sentinels were quick in pnssincr the watchword; and, besides, the jailor next mor ning confirmed my calculation. However, there is no incident of my life, the duration ot which 1 can recollect with more certainty, or the details of which are more deeply engraved on my memory." oooooooo:— Dissuasives against self-murder.—If you are distressed in mind, live-, serenity and joy may yet dawn upon your soul.

The mau who, under such circumstances, can think only of his duty, is a hero, and whether a com mon sailor or an admiral, deserves to have kb name placed upon record. John Powers was an irishman, about 25 years oI age. it was not likely that his conduct should pass unno ticed; and, on bis Captain’s representing it. he obtained for him the object of bis ambition, a cook's warrant. He was in the Drake, sloop of war, when that vessel was wricked on the coast of Newfoundland; and, though but with one leg, was among the eleven men who were saved.”—Marshall's Naval Biography. Catching a Porpoise—During the late warm weather some of our friends visited ihe coast, and amused themselves by making excursions* upon the "vasty deep.” Though perhaps in* ferior to the Nantucket men in skill, they have shown themselves their equals in temerrly, or* several ocr.*«ions, in waging war upon the fin ny tribe. We have heard of several laugha ble occurrences originating io the inexperience of our landsmen. An individual who had al ways considered himself a match for any thing of equal weight, either quadruped or biped, discovered a shoal of Porpoises; he did not doubt, therefore, the issue of a contest with.a fish. He accordingly equipped himself with a harpoon, and having fastened the cord, attach ed to it, to his own person, he stood deliberate ly waiting an opportunity to capture one ofth® monsters. At length one of remarkable viz® approached the boat, puffing and blowing like a steamer, and our hero, who had.furnished himself with less of line, perhaps, than a regu lar Whaleman would have used, hurled his in., strument of death with fatal precision. 7’he Porpoise darted off like lightning bearing thro' the waves, harpoon »nd harpooner! Luckily the cord at length gave way and released him of the harpoon from the necessity of continuing his unpleasant ride. He asserts that he will never again be caught fastened to the same rope with a Porpoise. He even begins to doubt his ability to cope with ‘‘Old Joe” a pat riarchal Alligator, well known on the coast by this sobriquet, which he has long been endeav oring to catch, in order to exhibit him as 3 trophy to his friends.—Floridian and Advocate. tation of a country whose institutions were founded in hostility to kings. The late Judge Thatcher, then a representative from Massachusetts, in reply, proposed a goose, which he said was an humble and republican bird, and would in other respects prove ad vantageous, inasmuch as the goslins would be convenient to pat on the ten cent pieces , &c.

It may seem a matter of no extraordinary difficulty to give a plain answer to a plain question: and yet it is an art which evidently requires some trouble to learn. In all half ci vilized nations, the inquirer for the most sim ple thing is met by an enigma for an answer; and, among the peasantry of Scotland and Ire land, civilized as the general communities may be, the system often socms to be a studied eva sion.

A good deal of speculation and disputation and contradiction appears in the newspapers as to who has gained or lost the majority tho present year. It is at least evident the con test has been close, and that it is sufficient to sat isfy all persons well {acquainted in Kentoc? Uy, that the vote of the State is for General Jackson; for it is well known, that General Jackson is 8 or 10,000 stronger than hi., po litical friends—by this 1 mean, go into each and every county m the State, and select iho most popular Jackson man in each for the le gislature: let then Jackson bs run for Presi dent, and he will receive 8 or 10,000 roles more than the whole of them. It will only bo necessary to refer to the votes given in 1828 to prove this. The editor of the Argus at Frankfort, and Advertiser, Louisville, have tho votes given in August and November of that year, which if published will be satisfac tory proof. The fact is Jackson is stronger than his friends, ano Clay not as strongas his. Any citizen of Kentucky knows why it is so. A KENTUCKIAN. VICTORY IN THE WEST CONKTRMEO.
