CARRIER'S ADDRESS OF THE FEBEK.H, I’SIOV, 1S.»S. ’Tis the first of“NEW Year,” and as it’s a fash ion, I’ve come to greet friends and put some of their cash iu My two empty pockets, which have felt, to be civil. The want of that stuff called the ‘‘root of all evil.” And if I am short in relating my story. Remember, I seek not for Honor or Glory. My task through the year has been to diffuse Not my cares or wants,but only the News. Through sunshine and storm, through heat and through cold, My task lias been run—and am I too bold To ask you my friends a tribute of thine, To feather a nest so needy as mine’ Kind readers, did ever you see such times? The Banks all suspended, and even tint dimes Are not tube seen!—such a terrible strain On the sinews of Trade, may we ne’er see again. At the North tho fierce storm broke suddenly forth, And crash after crash, notwithstanding the oath Of Directors and Presidents, went through the land. And business of all kinds came to a stand. The Farmer, of all, most dreaded the sound— For Cotton was up to sixteen cents a pound, And still on the rise, when the crasii came along, Prostrating the weak and crippling the strong. The political doctors to Milledgeville came, To hunt for a remedy as well as the blame. But when they had talked the whole matter over, There was nothing to do that they could discover. And as the Dutch Governor, who, when in great doubt, In the smoke of liis pipe tried to clear the case out; So these Legislators finding speeches all vain, Hid Banks and their troubles in fumes of Cham pagne. Wise doctors, and learned! the people give thanks That you have suspended as well as the Banks! Tiie crisis seems over, and long be the day, Ere another shall come, just like it, I say. Let Banks now be liberal—the people have been— Let money be plenty and credit go lean— Let the Farmer and Planter come forward and sell, Pay the Merchants their dues and all will be well; And he sure to remember now that its Winter, The “Devil’s to pay,” ifyou don’t “pay the Prin ter.” Congres has met, and poor “bleeding Kansas” Is foremost in every political stanzas. The Giant, called Dougias the little, swears high, That Kansas shall shriek if she wants to, or die— While “Buck” tells Congress to shut up its jaws, And the people of Kansas will make their own laws, Submit Constitution in part or the whole, Free from Congressional, or Federal control. Oid Buck’s in the right, and the South will de cide That Douglas may go, if Buchanan abide. But enough of this theme—my strain must be free From Religion and Politics, vicey terser. I carry my paper to all sorts of men, And whether they voted for “Joe” or for “Ben” Is a question not proper to put iu my rhymes— A Know Nothing’s as sweet as a Democrat’s dimes! nere’s a health to all lassies—God bless ’em I say; I hope they'll have husbands by next New Year Day. And may all have a sparkling and bright New Year, As the toam on the top of John Dufner’s good Beer. "wmo nm From Graham’s Magazine. THE GIFT OF A ROSE. RV G. D. PRENTICE. I send thee, Mary, a sweet young rose, That bri glit with the hues of the sunset glows; Its beauty, alas! is frail aud brief, It will come to thee with a withered leaf; But the fervent kiss that my earnest lips Have left for thee on its crimson tips Will not from the fading flower depart. But come all fresh to thy lips and heart For oh! ‘tis a breath of the love and trust That will live when our lips and our hearts are dust. Mary, dear Mary, pray love this flower, Let it have for thy heart a spell of power; For I plucked it fresh irom its lovely stalk, On the blooming edge of that garden walk Where we strayed together, so deeply blest, When the sun was low in the golden west And murmured our loves in burning words, With none to hear but the flowers and birds; And lingered long on the dear sweet spot, While our warm hearts kissed, though our lips did not. Mary, dear Mary, my thoughts still cleave To each memory sweet of that blessed eve, To each tone mure dear that the sweetest lute, To each vow,we breathed when our lips were mute, To tho wild, deep thrill through each trembling frame, From fingers warmed with a pulse of flame. To each gentle tear, to each gentle sub, To each sigh that told of the heart’s deep throb: Ay, these memories dwell in this soul of mine— Oh! Mary dear, do they live in thine? Mary, dear Mary, I pray thee say, Do the roses bloom where thy steps now stray? Du they look as morn on the sky’s soft blue, Through the trembling tears of the early dow? When I eoino to thee, will they smile to greet Thy lover’s steps with their fragrance sweet? Will they list at eve to onr tender vows? Will they weave their wreaths for our gentle brows? And when .it last we arc doomed to part, Will they breath a sigh for each breaking heart? Mary, dear Mary, I fain would know, Do thy heart’s sweet flowers keep their fresh young glow? Are their eyes yet turned on the skies above? l)o they glitter still with the dews of love? Has no blighting frost, has no bitter blast, Cold, cold o’er their buds and their blossoms past? If my name is said, are their leaves yet stirred To the olden thrill at the cherished word? And say, oh, say, will those dear heart-flowers Still bloom for me in Eden bowers? CIR BABY. DIED OCTOBER 20TH, 1857. To-day wo cut the fragrant sod, With trembling hands, asunder, And lay this well beloved of God, Our dear dead baby, under, Oh, hearts that ache, and ache afresh ! Oh, tears too blindly raining ! Our hearts arc weak, yet, being flesh, Too strong for our restraining! Sleep, darling, sleep ! Cold rains shall steep Thy little turf made dwelling; Thou wilt not know—so far below— What winds or storms are swelling, And birds shall sing, in tho warm spring, And flowers bloom about thee: Thou wilt not heed them, love, and oh, The loneliness without thee ! Father, we will be comforted ! Thou wast the gracious giver: We yield her up—not dead, not dead— To dwell with Thee for ever! Take Thou our child! Ours for a day, Thine, while the ages blossom ! This little shiniug head we lay In the Redeemer’s bosom! Califcraia Cirruiaiing Rhymes. When from my room I chanced to stray, to spend an hour at close of day, I ever tind a place most dear, where some friend treats to lager beer. Sacrumcnto Age. Ah! yes, ray friend of city life, sure such a treat cures such a strife, but better than such a dose by far, arc the pleasures of a fine segar. Placer Herald. Such pleasures may suit baser minds, but with the the good no favor finds; we think the purest joy in life, is making love to one's own wife. Voir a no Ledger. Most wise your choice, my worthy friend, in Hymen's joys your cares to end; but we, though tired of single life, can’t boast of having our own wife, and so, when ’neatli our cares we faint, we fly to kiss some gal that ain’t—yet —Napa Report er. That “lager beer” will bilo provoke, while “fine Havannas” end in smoke To court one's wife is better far, than lager beer or vile cigar; kisses the dew of life’s young mom, break on the lips as soon as born. These all arc naught to that greatest joy— the first born boy.—Evening Ledger. ’Tis true a hoy’s a wished for blessing, but then suppose the first’s a girl? a dear, sweet child, with ways carressing, with pouting lips and flaxen curl, with dimpled cheeks and laughing eye, to come and bid “papa” good bye! So whethor boy or whether t’other, embrace the babe and then the mother.—San Francisco Globe. Love is like a cigar—the longer it barns the less it grows. Terrible Scene In a Theatre. A writer from Europe gives the follow ing description of the scene at Leghorn, where, in an agony of causeless alarm, one hundred men, of a crowd, were trampl ed to death, and five hundred wounded: “The house was crowded—the play, ‘The Taking of Sevastopol.’ The first acts went oft well; battery after battery exploded, and the thrilling spectacle made the theatre ring with applause. 4 AU eyes were turned to see them tako the Malakoff. At last ’twas stormed. The soldiers rush ed in then the explosion amid the wildest cheers. At that moment a spark caught the scenes—they blazed—the audience thought it a part of the play, and cheered the louder, the scene was so natural. Alas! it was perfect. Another moment they saw their mistake—a wild cry of misery drowned the applause- Higher and higher it rose, maddening the spectators with fright. Five minutes more and the fire was extinguished, but the spectators, like • heard of buffaloes, like apanic-strickeu, army, like a flock of sheep before wolves, like passengers from a sinking ship, los ing all thought but of self-preservation, ruehed from their seats. The shrieks of women, the shrill cry of children, the hoarse voices of men, all struggling for life, presented a scene not describable.— Some threw themselves from the boxes into the pit, killing themselves and crush- ing those beneath them. No judgment— no forethought; out of the windows—over the lodges—stamping each other to death. The sentinels were ordered to stop the passage with bayonets. They planted, and those in the front ranks were run through and through, and the soldiers, with therest, were mutilaed with the feet of hundreds. Rising in the Would.—You should bear constantly in mind that nine-tenths of us arc, from the very nature and neces. sities of the world, born to gain our liveli hood by the sweat of our brow. What reason have we, then, to presume that our children are not to do the same? If they be, as uovr and then one will be, endowed with extraordinary powers of mind, those powers may have an opportunity of devel oping themselves: and if they never have that oportunity, are always to he laborers, the harm is not very great to us or to them. Nor does it hence follow that they are the descendants of laborers. The path upwards is steep rind long, to be sure. Industry, care, skill, excellency in the present parent, lay the foundation of a rise, under more favorable circumstances, for the children. The children of these take another rise, and by-and-by the descendants of the pre sent laborer become gentlemen. This is the progress. It is by attempting to reach the top at a single leap that so much misery is produced iu t lie world: and the propensity to make such an attempt has been cherished and encouraged by the strange projects that we have witnessed of late years for making the laborers virtuous and happy by giving them what is called education. The education which I speak of consists in bringing children up to lapor with steadiness, with care, and with skill; to show them how to do all in the best manner; to set them an example in indus try, sobriety, cleanliness and neatness; to make all these habitual to them, so that they never shall be liable to fall in to the contrary; to let them always see a good living preceding from labor, and thus to remove from them the temtations to get at the goods of others by violent or fraudu lent means. f William CobbetA Santa Claus Stopped Payment.—The Schenectady Star mentions a sad and really painful rumor, and which, for the sake of “Young America”—God bless’em all, say we—it is earnestly hoped is false. Says the Star; “It is said that Santa Claus—the jolly old fellow whom we used to love so well has, with a large portion of the business world, failed—failed! His carriage, his tiny reindeer that we heard every once a year, all through the short apron period, even his short pipe, ha\e been taken by his unfeeling creditors, and of his trinkets there are scarcely any left. Poor Santa! we wonder if adversity has robbed his cheek of the flush of health, or destroyed the rotundity of his little round belly. We wonder how ho will climb upon the roof on Christmas night, and how he will carry the dolls for the girls and the whistles and what-nots for the boys, without breaking them. He cannot go the usual rounds without his usual steed, that is certain, and we hope those who arc disappointed will not think of themselves, but pity poor Santa Claus, and blame Hard Times only. There will be many stockings hung up in vain this year, and sorrow will drop from eyes that have been bright with gladness on many a Christmas morning. May Sauta .Claus do his best to serve all who are look ing for him, and we believe he will.” A Miser Burnt Out.—The Portland Advertiser says that during the recent burning of t he house of Mr. Brookings of Gardiner, great excitement was created by the circumstance of a large sum of mon ey being hoarded in the house. Mr. Brookings was an old man of miserly hab its, and had $600 in bills and $3000 iu sil ver and gold stowed away under the cham ber floor. After the fire the melted gold and silver was sifted from the ashes, and filled a large milk pan holding ten quarts. The poor old miser called frantically upon the bystanders to shoot him. He has been in the habit of hiding his money in stone heaps and walls on the farm where he lives, and a long stocking full of silver coin was found in a stone heap, by his brother, a short time ago. A Bnsk Business.—At a husking frolic “down East” lately, two hundred bushels of golden yellow corn were husked, forty- eight girls kissed, one couple married, aud seven more “engaged,” all in one evening. Talk of stagnation in business! Recoiling Anecdote.—A wretch of a husband coming home at one in the morn ing, found his angel wife sitting up reading an old novel. With a coarseness almost amounting to cruelty, he took the book from her hand and placed before her a pair of her childs socks, which happened to have holes in them, disgustingly observ ing: “Ifyou will fatigue yourself my love, with any work at such an hour, I would suggest it is never too late to mend.” Steam Carriage.—It is stated that a steam carriage made its appearance in the streets of Manchester, near Pittsburg, a few days ago. It ran over the streets like a thing of life, turning corners and dodg ing ruts. The driver ot an omnibus, soeing inovation in this experiment, put whip to l*is horses and tried to outrun the steam carriage, hut the latter left his coach so far behind, that the omnibus driver was laugh ed at by the spectators. The steam car riage went at the rate of nine miles an hour with a pressure of sixty pounds. Why is praising children like opinm T Because it’s laudanum f The Utah Army. Brigham Young's Unsuccessful! Ad vances to the Shoshonec Indians—Suf fering of the Expedition. A letter to the New Orleans Picayune, from the Utah Expedition camp on the Sweetwarter, furnishes some interesting details. The writer says: “Brigham Young has been very anx ious to secure the aid and co-operation of the Indian tribes of Utah and its vicinity in his present treasonable and rebellious opposition to the Government of the Uni ted States. I have it from the best authority that he spared no efforts to in duce Wah-sa-keo, the Chief of the great Shoshonee or Snake tribe, to become his confederate, promising any amount of flour, provisions, &c., for himself and tribe, if be would only side with the Mormons in the approaching contest. But old Wah-sa-kee, who, for one of his race, is a very intelligent and wise man, was neither to be cajoled nor inveigled by tho sainily Brigham or bribed by his flour and bran, into any such league with him. His reply to Brigham I have from one perfectly familiar with the Shnshonco language, and who was present and heard it. ‘The skin of the Mormons is white, that of the blue-coats is also white. My skin is dark. I will war with none of tho white race; if a white man strikes me, I will not return the blow. If the Mormons will fight the blue-coats, Wah-sa-kee will stand upon a hill and look on, but will take no part. His skin is dark, and he will not fight with the white men. The skin of the Crow and the Sioux are dark like his own, and if they trespass upon his hunting grounds with them he will fight.” When the armed bands of Mormon marauders made their appearance on Green River and the Sandy, Wah-sa-keo and his people withdrew from there aud pitched their lodges on the north of tho Wind River mountains. As the Shoshonee are a pawerful and numerous tribe, and as the scene of the operations of the army would to a great extent be in their county, it was deemed advisable by Col. Jhonson to have an interview with Wali-sa-kce to confirm him in his good intentions and to assure him that his people would not be molested or interfered with so long as they pursued the wise and prudent course he had de termined upon. A runner was consequent ly dispatched after the Chief, and tho next evening lie made his appearance, with three or four of his tribe, at our camp, and Col. Johnson, and lie had a grand pow-wow. which, I believe, was highly satisfactory to both sides. Old Wah-sa- *kee is a splendid specimen of his race,' with a most expressive and intelligent face. One thing I was surprised to learn with regard to this mountain tribe, whose country is most on the Pacific slope, and that is that the Shoshonee or Snake language is identical with that of tho Camanches of Texas. An intelligent Frenchman, who has resided a long time on Green River, and had much intercourse with the Shoshoneos, informs me that there is a traditirn among them that many years ago a portion of the Shoshonees seperated from the tribe and wandered off to the plains of the South East and there became a nation more numerous than those who remained behind in the mountains. The weather is so extremely cold iliat it would be utterly out of the question for any one to attemp to write without a fire. I have fabricated a stove out of an old camp kettle- As it could not be used at all in a wall tent, I am occupying a cpm- mon tent; one of the bell pattern now in use in the army, with an aperture on the top for ventilation which may he opened or closed at will. By making this serve as a chimney, my camp kettle stove works admirably as Ion "■ as I can manage to keep the fire in bright blaze, but as soon as it goes down the thing smokes worse than a tar-kiln, so that I am kept in a delightful state of oscillation between death by freezing and death by suffocation. This little explanation may account for any incoherency of style / or illegibility of manuscript which may be noticed in this letter, for it is written most emphatically under difficulties. ——mmn French Losses in the Crimea. Dr. Scrive, who actuil as Rhysidan-Gcneral to the French army during the last war with Russia, has just published a book which contains a pain ful account of tho losses and sufferings endured by the French troops landed in the East, but particu larly by those engaged in the seige of Sebastopol. Of 309,278 officers and men sent from France du ring that short war, 290,000 entered the hospitals and were treated professionally,50.000 for wounds received in action, and 150,000 for diseases of vari ous kinds contracted during the campaign. The first troops which embarked in France were attack ed with cholera, which followed them to Athens, Gallipoli, Yarns, and the Dobrudstoha. That scourge appeared to suspend its attack fora brief period, while the French in conjunction with their British allies gained the victory at the Alma. (>n their arrival before Sebastopol the cholera again at tacked them, and the receptions in tho military hospitals during tho mouth of Jan. 1855, amount ed to nine thousand. They were chiefly treated for cholera, scurvy, frost-bites, and wound- of every description. Typus fever shortly after set in, but was quickly checked by the energetic treatment adopted by the French physicians. The health of the army was better during the spring of 1855, but the* cholera reappeared in July and placed 4,500 men Iwrs de combat. Typus fever set in again and added to the mortality. On the 8 th of Sep tember Sebastopol was taken by the allied armies, but, nevertheless, between the 1st of September, 1855, and the 1st of April, 1856. of 145,120 French troops under arms in the Crimea, 48,000 entered hospitals Dr. Scrive says that the scurvy pre vailed at this period, the constitutions of the men being impaired through fatigue and privations. The Doctor further adds that the most disastrous period of the campaign, in a medical point of view, was during the months of February and March, 1856. A violent typus. engendered by the infec tion of the heaps of refuse in the camp, struck down more than 19,000 soldiers at the end of the campaign, notwithstanding the precautions adopt ed by the medical staff. It is said that the number of sick in hospital in proportion to the force under arms was never so great in any former campaign. Of the medical staff, 83 physicians or surgeons fell victims to their devotedness—“an enormous fig ure,” observes the author, “when one reflects on the small number employed." The French fleet likewise suffered serious losses from sickness. The Mormon Capital—Great Salt Lake City is laid out on a magnificent scale. It is four miles in length, by three in breadth, the streets running at right angles, and 132 feet wide, with sidewalks 20 feet in width. Each building lot contains an acre and a half of land of which there are eight In each block, and a stream of pure water running through the city is made by an ingenious plan, to flow on the side of every street, and to irrigate every lot. Cure for Cramp Colic.—A friend and subscriber, residing iu Oglethorpe county, informs us that tea made of cotton seed is a never-failing and almost instantaneous cure for cramp colic. He assures u.s he has known it tried in many cases, and does not remember a single failure. As the remedy is simple aud always at hand, it would be well to give it a trial.—Athens Watchman. —wm♦— tVe do not often come across a more fragrant sporting item than this, from the Hartford Times: “Henry Hendrick, the well known trapper, of Plainville, took 14 skunks ont of one hole, last Saturday. It was a feat that will not soon be equalled, probably.” Interesting to Gamblers.—A bill to punish pro fessional gamblers by whipping has passed the lower house of the South Carolina legislature. It provides that in addition to the punishment already provided by law, that the guilty party shall receive jiot to exceed thirty-nine lashes The papers do not state whether stock gamblers are included in the beneficent provisions of this bill An honest old lady, when told of her husband s death, exclaimed—“Well, I do declare, onr troub les never come alone! It ain't a week since I lost my best hen, and now Mr Hooper has gone too poor man!” If we could read the secret history of our ene- we should find in each man s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all our hostility.— Ex change
