In these days of "trash Poetry,” such a gem as this is worth reading.— Try it, reader, and our Word Ter ft, pon Vfll be pleated; Bingen on the riiinE. A soldier oftho Legion toy dying at Algiers, There was took of woman's nursing, there was dearth of woman’s tears ; Bat a comrade stood bosido him while his life blood ebbed asra>, And bent wifopilttyfcig glances’to hear What he miAt say— The dying soldier filtered as ho took that com rade’s band, And said, “I never more shall see my own, my native land: Take n message and a token to some distant friends of mine. For I eras born at Blngete, ZWdct Bingcfh on foe Rhine) Tell my brothers and companions when they moot and crowd around To hear my mournful story in the pleasant vintage ground. That we fought foe battle bravoty, and when foe fighVwas done, Full many a corpse toy ghastly, beneath foe sitting son: And ’midst the dead and dying were ZOme grown old in Ware—. The death wound on foelr* gallant breasts the last ottaany scare; Bat some were youtag, ana suddenly beheld life’s noon decline, And oxs had coma from Bingen, quiet htti&en on foe Rhine. to Tell my mother that heY other sons shall Com fort her old age, . And I was still a tenant bird that thought his home a cage, For my father was a soldier; ana even as child My heart leaped forth to hear him tell of strug gles fierce and wild: And'when he died and left ns to divide his scanty hoard, I lot them take whafer they wonld, and kept my father’s sword, And with a boyish lore, I hang it where the bright light used to shine On foe cottage wall at Bingen, fair Bingen on the Rhine 1 Tell my sister not to mourn for me, nor sob with drooping bead, When foe troops are marching borne again with light and gallant tread ; Bnt to look upon them proudly ! with a calm and steadfast eye, -For ber brother was a soldier, And did not fear to die! Anffif a comrade seek her love, I ask her in toy name, To listen to him camly without regret or shame. And to hung foe old sword in its place—my father’s sword and mine— For foe honor of dear old Bingen, dear Bingen on tiie Rhine! There’s another, mot a sister. In happy days gone by. You'd bare known her by foe merriment that sparkled tn her eye, Too innooent for coquetry, too fond for idle seorning: Oh ! Friend. I fear foe lightest heart makes sometimes heaviest mourning— Tell her the last night of my life, (for ere the noon be risen. My body will be oat of pain, my soul be ont of prison) I dreamed T stood with her and saw foe yellow snn-ligbt shine On foe vine-clad bills of Bingen, sweet Bingen on foe Rhine ! I saw foe bine Rhine sweep along ; I beared or teemed to bear. The German song we usid to sing in chorns sweet and clear— And down the pleasant river and np foe slant ing bill. The echoing chorns sounded in notes most clear and shrill, And her glad bine eye was on me, as We passed in friendly talk Down many a path beloved of yore and well remembered walk. And her little hand toy lightly and confinding- ly in mine— Bnt well meet no more at Bingen, dear Bingen on foe Rhine.” Bis voice grew faint and hoarse, his grasp was childish week, His eye put on a dying look, he sighed and ceased to speak ; His comrade bent to lift him, bnt foe spark of life had fled— The soldier of fob Legion, in a foreign land lay dead ; And the soft moon rose np slowly, and calmly she looked down, On the red sand of that battle-field, with bloody corpses strewn— And calmly on that dreadful scene, her pale light seemed to shine, As it shone on distant Blngeta, fair Bingen on foe Rhine 1 Cholera at New Orleans.—We learn from private letters and verbal information tbat foe eholera is prevailing as an epidemic in New Orleans. The following from foe Delta of the 31st nit., is foe first notice of the fact we have seen in foe papers of that city : Owing to foe evtraordinary and protracted drontb, foe atmosphere of oar city has become insalubrious, and a tendency to cholera baa been manifested among onr citizens for some days past. Tne deaths have been quite nu merous. Under these circumstances, foe Board ofHealfo have deemed it their duty to an nounce foe prevailence of foe disease and re commend foe neecssary pYeeantions. This Is doubtless foe proper course. We have no donbt that when a change occurs in foe atmos phere, the health of foe city will improve and foe cholera disappear. It is an unusual period of foe year for cholera to prevail. The few drops of nun that fell yesterday produced a ve ry perceptible effect on foe atmosphere. England and America have occasionally a fanny simoltoneonstoess. The last and foe oldest is the designating a certain portion or j»rtp of foe nation by a proper name. Every one knows what political party is desgnated in onr country by foe word "Sam,” for instance. In England, correspondingly, the "Smith fam ily’' is now foe slang term for foe democracy. The war npon foe aristocracy which has been lately waged so botlv, has. for its principal champion, Mr. Layard, of the Honse of Com mons. In a leading article of a late number of foe London-Morning Advertiser, this passage occurs:— "Let noi great Smi\ of Peel, or lies’ may taunt him as foe relatives of the Vic tims of the Borgia did tbat Italian dame who slew them with real poison, not whieh imputed •lander. Injured aristocrats may pop np like the hammers of a piano, played on by the mas ter-hands of diplomacy aba State craft. He may be tabooed In foe House, groaned at, conn* ted ont, ‘Petor-Dicked,’ and even challenged. Let bim not be dismayed—his cause is good; and the nation ie with him" A Stump gpcfecti The following specimens of quaint humor Wo find in one of our oxchanges under foe 'head of “California Correspondence.” They purport to have been delivered by a stump candidate at San Franetoco: Ftllow-Repuldicttot and fellow-suffeters: I am a plain and honest man, borp at a Very .eat ly period of my existence—which occurred at home one night when my mother was oqt I have struggled from foe obscurity to which an unlucky s^ar had doomed me, till I have risen like a bright exhalation in foe evening, tp foe very summit of human greatness and grandqur. Gentlemen, I profess no principles—unfortu nately I have none. Ob the unhappy occasion of my birth, a dismal and melancholy man, clothed in the sombre hues of mourning, swap ped me away for another baby, and subsequent ty lost me ait a raffle. Sad {Vent! bnt who can control his fate ? We are foe creatures of destiny. "There’s a divinity that shkpes onr ends, rough hew them as we will.” I was intended by nature for a great states man. Had I lived in foe days of Hannibal, I should have beaten the greatest chieftain in crossing the Alps, and it is a dead certain thing * I a crossing the Alps, and it it a dead certain tmng that I should have distanced Cortes in crossing foe Isthmus: he never performed foe feats did; he never catae np the Chargres river in i, with a deaf and dnmb hombre, without »ra eh bange of. summer apparel.— canoe, a red cent, ora change "Bat a light heart and a thin .pair of breeches go merrily through foe world.” Sir, evejry man who baa come here is a Co lumbus. He comes to discover new diggins. I am a Columbus ! I was dead broke at home, as Columbus was, and I have oome here to strike a new vein. Bnt T am not going to foe 'mines. Oh, no! Yon don’t catch me np to my waist in ice water, with V Juvenile pick-axe and an incipient crow-bar,, laboring, under, a heat of 100 degrees in foe shade to dig ont foe filthy lucre. No, Sir! Iam not on tbat lay —I hate labor—it was an invention to vex mankind. I prefer an office—one that is lucra tive, and not laborons ; what yon call a sine cure. And if I can’t get one myself. I will go in for any man who will divide on a dead leVel, and no splits. Sir, where will yon find a'cdftntry like this ? Talk not of the oriental gorgeonsness of east ern countries. Tell ub not of foe Fairy scenery which poets who revel ift the gre*t warm path of heavenly imagination paint with golden pens on leaves of satin. The description of this glorious country should be written with foe golden wing of an angel dipped in foe softest rays of the snnbeam upon the blushing surface of rose leaf. Excuse me. gentlemen. I expect the rainy season, and foe time when foe dost flies. * We love our native land—we honor her flag, and wo wonld not rob the custom-house, if we had a fair show. But Congress must not pat on any airs, or we will take charge of the ens- tom-house and the post-office, and makea muss generally. These are my sentiments, gentle men : if they don’t admit ns into the Union we will burst open tbe custom bouse, and admit allliqnor free of doty. And now, with apaY- ting blessing on tbe girls we left behind ns, and foe boys who are coming after Us, we will ad journ and take a drink. Money is like a hedgehog—very difficult to bold.

Mount Vesuvius to said to be noir in a state gf rjolfftt volcopjc action, Testimony of Great Hein. Washtmgtox has said: "Against the insfdions wiles of foreign influ ence, (I conjore yon to believe me fellow-citiz ens,) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; sIPce history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of our republican government.” Jon* Adams, In bis letter to Christopher Gadsden, (gives expression to the following sentiments: "Americans will find that their own ex perience of all other nations, and foreigners const be received with caution, or they trill des troy all confidence in government.” JeffersoX, the father of Democracy, said : *•1 hope we may find some meanfc in future of shielding ourselves from Foreign Influence— political, commercial, or in whatever form at tempted* I can scarcely withhold myself from joining in foe wish of Silas Deam, tbat there were an ocean of fire between this and foe old world.’ In a letter Written to Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina, Speaker at the time of Repre sentatives, dated foe 14tbofMay, 1810, just ten weeks after be went into the Presidential Chair, Mr. Jefferson said; ‘‘A very early recommendation had been given eo the Poet Matter General to employ no foreig ner ot revolutionary tory, tn any of hit offi ce* !* MadIsok declared that— "Foreign Influence is trntya Grecian Bouse to tbe Republic, exclude its entrance.” A Kb re W JacRson declared in his emphatic way— “It is time We should become a little more Americanized; and instead of feeding the pau pers and laborers of England, feed onr own; or we shall soon become paupers ourselves.' And Daxiel Webster, foe mental giant of a century, has con-oborated the pfeCeeding tes timony, by declaring. ‘There is an imperative, necessity for refor ming foe Naturalisation Laws of foe United States.’ A—^ Spinal Affection. Dr.W. B. Sloan, Sir :—I had been severely afflicted with a Rhenmatie and Spinal affection, and bad used many kinds of medicines, without obtaining any lasting benefit from them. My complaint kept increasing in Strength and ob stinacy, many times rendering it impossible to move or tarn myself in bed for weeks in succes sion. I procured Sloan’s Family Ointment and applied it faithfully, according to the directions and experienced immediate relief. By j eraeveringly applying it, in a short time I was perfectly cared. I consider it the host external remedy and Family Ointment in use, and shall use my best endeavors to make its value more generally known, for the benefit of the afflicted. RICHARD FREER.

LerSOH Learxt if a Glass House.—"I re member," says Mr. Wbiiefield, "some years ago, when I was at Shields, I went into a glass honse, and standing looking very attentively, I saw several masses of hnrning glass of various forms. The workman took a piece of glass, and put it into a second, and then in o a third. I said to him, ‘Why do yon put it through so many fires F Be answered, ‘oh, sir, the first was not hot enough, nor the second; therefore We put it in to a third, and that wiil make it transparent.’ ” This furnished Mr. Whitcfiold with auseful hint, that we mnst be tried, and exercised with many -fires, until onr dross bo purged aWay, and We are made fit for the Owner’s use.

About 3 o’clock in the afternoon, a small whirlwind arose in the plantation of Esq.

The ground over which foe whirlwind passed looked as if it bad been brushed over with a large brush, as in pulveri zing wheat land. The leaves of vegatatinn were scorched so bad, that in taking bold of them they wonld crumble to dust Several of the ne groes were so badly frightened and excited tbat they threw down their tools and made for home, about a mile off.

About this time a new party appeared npon the political hfaxizon, bearing a new and fan- fastfc name. It was invisible, and intangi hie, hut It anon showed that it bad tbe capacity of'making itself felt Its first triumphs were achieved in municipal elections, bnt by degrees it entered on a wider sphere of action. I watched its progress with curiosity, that gradu ally deepened into interest I saw it take up as Governor of Massachusetts, Gardner, a man who bad volunteered as a private in foe ranks to sustain tbe fugitive slave law. I saw it in dicate its purpose to defeat Seward; I siW it prepared to support Clark who had been Regar ded as a conservative. 4n’d nominated Sa sdeh by Whigs; bnt when Clark accepted ‘{.net nomi nation of foe Abolitionists, ft dese.rte^ ofth and took up Ullmap,, the intimate friend pf Fill- rowPLttfld Hvho I kpow lo pe a National man.

Mr. Stnart hero quoted from a Cleveland Abolition paper, which states that tbe third degree of the order compels the man who takes it to bo pro-slavery.—This is not so, bnt as Mr. Stnart understood, it re bukes all agitations tending to tbe disrnption of this glorious Union. Intimately connected with this grand feature, were two other great reforms, which this organ ization determined to effect, viz: to check for eign influence, and rebuke foe intermedling in onr political affairs by foe snbjects of a for eign power, who acknowledge a higher allegi ance to the Pope of Rome than they owe to the Commonwealth or the Union, with these principles npon their banner the nete party has gone on, conqneriqg and to conquer, Ahd I teust is destined to crush sectionalism, to re store a national sentiment to the Country ahd to Save the Union.

In the. early settlement of foe country it was natural that the policy of foe government should be t6 Acquire 'population. But even at foat eArly day, Sagaelotts toen like Thomas Jefferson foresaw the danger foat might flow from it. At first, {migration was not sufficient to give any impress to public sen timent. Mr. Stuart hero read statistics, show- ing tho Immense increase ol itaigration Ahd 'Continued:—“Tnusyon will perceive tbat eve ry year there are foreigners enough coming here to jprm a state As large as Maryland, and every two years to form one as large as Virjgin • to.. The men be'Come citizens in Jive years and in some States in six months.
