O wake that plaintive air again.
Breathe out in eadonco sweet ouoe more,
And let its sorrow-soothing strain
Recall the scenes in days of yore;
Wake itagaiu, each well lov’d tone
Speaks of”tho joys my youth hath known.
Sing on—to rrifc there's music there,
Each note hath sooth'd my childhood’s days,
O more 1 love that mellow air
Than all high sounding minstrel lays.
Whose echoing peals can ne'er impart
Remember'd pleasures to the heart.
Sing on—that strain so sweet—so wild—
|?en now can charm my sadden'd breast,
like as it charm’d it when a cluld,
And softly lull’d it into rest,
When at the sport-puss’J day's calm close
ATy wearied eyelids sought repose.
Sing on—the visions of die past
In fancied drapery appear—
Some magic spell scorns round me cast
As fall the accents on my car,
For childhood’s friends seem thronging round,
And narljr joys rise with each souud.
Long years have pass’d since last I heard
That dear—that mem’ry-waking strain,
Which hath my hidden feelings ntirr’d,
Like as the tempest stirs the main:
Long years hare pass’d—yet iu their space.
No such glad moments can 1 trace.
O joyous strains—and vision blest!
1 would tlmt ye might ever fling
Your spell-hound raptures o’er my breast—
For loudly mcm’ry loves to cling
Tt* ev'ry token that mav tell
Of scenes my childhood lov'd so well.
Hush not that cadence of my choice,
Which can my sorrowing thoughts control—
l'or half 1 deem my mother’s voice
Again outpours it o’er uty soul,
lake as it oit before hath done;
Wreak not the charm—sing on—sing on.

DALL ROOM TACTICS.
It is really surprising that in these march of intellect
times, when uselul information is ofl'ered, propounded _
ami promulgated in a thousand shapes, no one hair important trial, which was to take place at Tarachc, on
thought of opening a school for the acquisition of a
most valuable brunch of human knowledge, which for
want of a belter name, 1 have denominated as above.
Every one knows, or ought to kjlow, that a ball room
is a bona Jute mart for the disposal of that valuable
commodity, woman; that a knowledge of the goods
is first acquired there, and that many a bargain is struck
alter the whirling of a waltz or the trotting of a gullo-
jiade. The boil room is indeed a hwaii.y of far higher
moment than the country at large is apt"to imagine.—
To simple country folks-, a ball retain is nothing more
Ilian a bail room; and a dance is merely a.uaiicc, and
. so forih: preposterous error! To the bull room three-
.Fourths of the guests repair with certain, settled views,
and plans of operation iu their wise noddles. TJic o-
tiier remaining fourth may be divided into the martyrs
ami tlic i.'ttsu tines.
The martyrs arc Those w ho go because they cannot
help themselves—they must go,'and so they go.
The dcssunvrca, oifidlers, are those who simply go
oHcill time, and became they have nothing else to do.
Few persons attend a hall room for the mere sake of
passing a few hours in social intercourse. The mo
tives for giving d.mcing parties arc tiie following: Far
ties are given tor the sake of vanity and ostentation
should no other very imperative interest counsel such
a course.
The danring party, world may be divided into tlic
party given and party peers; both ore .influenced by
much the saute ..... tves, interest and *aui‘.y, We sub
join a correct list of both classes

Nota lici.e. Now reader, do not fall into a mistake
with repaid to the words good and desirable, which,
for obvious reasons, wo have italicised. Iu the ball

whose sterling worth of character is calculated to in

y inventions which have, for the last half century,
•u recorded in the archives of our patent oflice, to ti-
lUstrate and establish the pre-eminent claims of our
countrymen to genius of a high order, it would be that
which forms the particular subject of otir remarks.
Mr. Cochran’s father was a lawyer, and afterwards a
merchant of eminence in Enfield, N. H.; and the son,
John Wcbste Cochran, was born there, and has invent
ed the species of fire arms in question, was brought up
to no particular business. At the veiy early age, how.
ever, of Id, he discovered a strong taste an<f passion for
mechanical experiments, and was constantly occupied
in the construction of machinery, -which his father ap
proving of, nnlike many other fathers, encouraged, and
to further the wishes of his sou, expended several thou
sand dollars in bis behalf, in the cast of the different
kinds of apparatus required.
When only Id, lie made the discovery in question,
but did uot perfect it until three years alter. He then
went to France and England, and exhibited bis model
counon to Louis l'hillipc and William the IV. While
at 1'aris iu 1833~’34, he was requested by the Turkish
Ambassador to explain it to the Turkish Minister at
London, and accordingly went to Woolwich, and per
formed a series of experiments before the latter persons
age, which gave so much satisfaction that he urged Air.
C\ to visit the Sultan at Constantinople, and lor that
purpose provided liitn with ii:t> ZZOst flattering recom
mendations to the Court of the Sublime « 9 rte - Mr.
Cochran arrived at Constantinople Feb. 11, 1830,
received with great distinction, and introduced to the
Sultan by the Grand Vizier. Ilis Turkish majesty was
highly pleased with the experiments made with the
model, told Mr. lie was satisfied it would bo gener
ally adopted, and requested him to cast twelve pound
ers on the same principle. He was provided with ele
gant apartments in Pera, raised 0 the dignity of Mas
ter of Camion, and furnished with as many workmen
as lie required for the accomplishment of his task. The
treatment in fact, which he received, was equivalent to
that c>f the rank of an ambassador.
Mr Cochran, however, finding there was no good
foundry or mechanics, was obliged to undertake the
work with !‘is own hands; and though uot brought up
to the business of making machinery of any kind, by
dint of much labor and perseverance, made himself nil
the necessary implements, tiie augun and the wooden
apparatus for boring with horse power, and the prep
arations required for procuring me proper castings.—
By good fortune lie sncccdcd entirely to his wishes,
and enst and bored three cannon, 2 of one pound each,
and tlic !hird a tirclre pounder, which last was finished
in a style os perfect as Jie could have desired. On the
14th September following, he proved this last piece to
Ins entire satisfaction, in !ke presence of all tiie chief
officers of the Turkish goveni’netit,yvho were delight
ed with its execution, and made a highly flattering re
port to the Sultan. He fired it ofT iu n l .‘ e presence of
those officers, to their niter astonishment, lo? times in
fifteen minutes. The Sultan, when he heard df )*>
would scarcely believe it, and directed Mr. C. to per
form the same experiments in his presence. The most
extensive preparations were accordingly made for this

VERY LATE FROM SPAIN.
Captain Brown, ol barque Ganges, arrived at Bos
ton, from Malaga, Oct. 10, informs Messrs. Topliff,
that 6000 men of tiie Carlist ar y were within one
daysmarch ofMalaga when ho sailed, and great con
sternation pervaded all rnnkB in that city. The ship-
S ing in harbor'was crowded with men women and chil-
ren, for protection. As the progress of the Carlist has
been marked by every excess, and as tliev wreaked
their vengpance more particularly upon those places
which had proclaimed the constitution or were in fa
vor of it, the inhabitants ofMalaga had-every reason to
fear tho worst consequences, should the-Carlist enter
the city. Every preparation was making to defend
the place. AboutoOOO militia were enrolled, but had
lio leaders in wli'oin they had confidence; consequent
ly, great alarm existed, and business was at a stand.
The U. S. ship Potonjac was in port, also a British
and a French frigate.
VERY LATE FROM EUROPE.
The Packet ship Silvie dc Grasse, Capt. Wieder-
Jjolt, arrived last evoning from Havre, whence she
sailed on tlic }2th October. Our Paris advices are of

• MEXICO
The New York Contier and Enquirer opines that
Mr. Gorostiza had a more urgent reason f >r his depar
ture from Washington city than tho infringement of
Gen. Gaines upon the supposed rights of his country
He remarks that,
“It may be the Minister has assigned this as a rea
son for Ins quitting Washing on but those who know
any thing of the manner in which matters are conduc
ted in Mexico will be inclined to think that his return
is occasioned by the apprehension that remittances from
his country will fail him.—When thitigs were some
what more settled there, titan they are now, a Mexican
Ambassador oil leaving home took with him his first
year’s salary, but wo betide him if he remained in n
foteign country after it was expended and had no other
resources to depend upon. As second year’s appoint
ment he could never get. As to the salaries of the
.Mexican Ministers in foreign countries being now
paid by tho government, it is out of the question in tiie
present distracted state of that country.”

No leas than 3000 troops were assembled at this spot.
The Sultan, at tbc hour appointed, came over from his
summer residence ou the Asiatic shore, rowed in one
of liis splendid caiques, and preceded bv a long line of
other boats of tiie same description. The one which
announced the approach of the .Sultan Whs manned by
40 oursinen, and came with even tuorc lightuing speed
than that in which his august itighuess himself was
seated. As the latter was seen nearing tlic wharf. Mr.
Cochran, at the suggestion of Halil Pacini, the Sultan’s
son-in-law, and coniuinnder-in-cliiefof the land forces,
tired oft - a salute of 21 guns (the customary number)
with tlic experimental cannon, which consumed less
than two minutes and struck the assembled multitude
with tlic utmost amazement.
As the Sultan at this moment stepped on the wharf.
I fnlil, accompanied by the Grand * tzier, and other dig
nitaries, ran to his majesty, and the former, making the
usuul salaam of kissing tlic Sultan’s foot, announced to
him with feelings of exultation that could scarcely lie
repressed, the wonderful success of the machine can
non, as they appropriately named it. The Sultan ar
rived at his tent, then sent for the master of the cannon
the title which was given to Mr. Cochran, and after a
short conference with him, in which Mr. C. conversed
chiefly in the Turkish language, which he had partial
ly acquired, the Sultan, renewing his expressions of
kindness, requested him to perforin the cx|>eriineut in
his presence. His Majesty placed himself within a lew
feet of the piece, and Mr.’Cochran commencing rather
sooner than was anticipated, tiie Sultan, then with his
linrk towards the cannon, was somewhat startled at
hearing the cxpTosions suddenly succeeding each other
with such inconceivable rapidity. The cannon was
fired 100 times as before iu 15 minutes, during which
the barrel acquired 050 degrees of heat, while die re
volving cylinder which coutnined the charges was com
paratively cool, being only 250 degrees of tempera
ture. The Sultan’s exclamation expressive of his de
light, was “ God save the Americans—if such boys as
you (Mr. C. being then but 21) can invent such tilings,
what can your men do!”
lie then asked him tor the bill of expenses, and be
ing told by Mr. C. it was left to his own pleasure, he
went flic next day, at the request of the Sultan, to visit
him at his palace. The bag of gold he there received
was truly an imperial present, and enough to make his
fortune. The amount would scarcely be believed
should we name it, and we do not feel ourselves au
thorized to specify the sum more distinctly than may
be inferred from what we have said.
Mr. Cocltran soon after returned to America, with
ail understanding that he should have a contract for
supplying n large number of cannon of the pattern ex
hibited, whenever it could be agreeable to him to exe
cute it.
These adventures of Mr.Coe!iran,yet a youth, sock
ing in a foreign land that patronage andjencourage-
ment which were tiie proper measure and appreciation
justly due to his pre-eminent talents, and which it is la
mentable to be (diliged to confess, bis own countrymen
would not have bestowed upon* him, recall the similar
examples of West, Fulton, Perkins, and others, and
areTalculated to reflect discredit upon ottr national re
putation, inasmuch as Americans ought to be the tirst
to reward those inventive powers which arc so emphat
ically characteristic of, os well as honorable to the ge
nius of our people.
As nn evidence of tho accuracy and effectiveness of
this rifle, Mr. Cochran related n’jbear hunt, in which
he took part a few days since, on the Moose Mountains
iu his nutive State of New Hampshire. He fired at the
animal with tlio rifle now at the Exhibition, and lodged
nine balls in his brain, while lie was under full wav, at
the distance of some four or five rods from him. The*

Sweden,—Rumours are afloat, of a project said to be
entertained by very many influential parsons in Swe
den, Denmark and Norw ay, for a union of these three
kingdoms under one crown; to take place on the dem
ise of Charles John,the present king of Sweden. The
great object is to oppose a stronger conservative front
against the increasing power of Russia.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
No river on the globe has so crocked u channel os

merable bends which obstruct the direct navigation
arc not shortened by an artificial chaimel across the

favorable to steam navigation, as they diminished the
current and enabled the 'boats, to stem. This was
some years since and before the improvements in steam
engines were nude. Tlic opinion was erroneous. It
h is been said that to e.ut off the bonds would swgll
the river much higher, and cause its inundations to

For upwards of two mouths, although not entirely
free from the barbarous and cruel attacks of the Apa
ches, we have at least been permitted to travel with
some degree of security—the present, however, has
been ushered in under far different auspices.
The enemy raising anew ids standard of annihila
ting dcstruclioii, has commenced the accustomed ca
reer of robbery - and murder. The Apaches have ap
peared iu considerable force at different places, dealing
death to the helpless traveller, and causing every cvU
taught by natural barbarity, aud innate desire of utter
extermination.
The accounts inserted iu continuation, paint in sad
colors the state of this most unhappy department ol
Chihuahua, a state eventually resulting in their total
ruin, if an immediate stop be not put to threatening
evil.
To expect aid from Mexico, is_ to-believe in impossi
bilities; to hope for liberation from shipwreck by Gen
eral Calvo, is to demand miracles, Ilf* indefatigable
zeal may, it is true, advise prompt, welbdiractcd aiid
efficacious measures to avert evil, and att i-n so desira
ble an object, but he is icithout resources. Palpable to
all, is tlic deplorable condition of the troops. If pro
vided with arms, they are uuinouutcd; if with shoes,
they lock shirts, nnd in short, they are dcstiluto of every
requisite for useful and active services. But suppo
sing them to be iu a c nditiou lor actual service, tncy
could not pursue the savages to the interior. They
should endeavor to cut them off in their ingress (or
egress) at frontier • points, where detachments ought
necessarily to be placed, to impede their entrance,
operate against them in tiiuir territory, when n favora
ble opportunity presented; as, also, to resist foreign
invasion; which, judging from Ilia a-pact of Texas, is
not wny remote. Ttie inference presented is that jf
the Chihuahuains do not endeavor to preserve their
I territory, and punish this horde of savages, by ltcciiui-
w stands. Hence I nr i’ or l K ‘ r ? ona ) service, sooner or late we shall all be-

From Malura and Gibraltar.—The brig Washing-
ten's Barge, Capt Perry, arrived at this port yesterday,
from Malaga via Gibraltar, having sailed from the for
mer port off the 3d, and the lutter nn the 15th ult.
We are indebted to the kindness of Caf t Perry for
files of papers to the latest dates from both the above
mentioned places
We learn front Capt. Perry, that there was great
excitement in Malaga^- on account of the Carlist
parly being within twenty leagues rf tha: place, and
the shipping had been detained two days from loading
on account of all the men, horses, carts, &c- being
pressed to put the city in defence against the enemy.—
An English man of war brig bad arrived to protect the
English property—thecaptain of her had ordered all
English vessels to he ready to get under way at a mo
ment’s warning. A11 American frigate bad left Gib al
tar for Malaga to protect the American shipping in that
port.
for his delay in reaching Fort Orane. Gov. Cull will
probably meet him iu the nation.
’ There is said to be a large supply of provisions on
tiie Withlacoochce and at Tampa Bay. There are
nearly 1000 Regulars, 1250 1 ennesseeans, 600 or 700
Floridians, and 600 or 800 friendly Indians iu the coun
try,
Tho activity and efficiency of Capt. Smith’s compa
ny of Black Creek Voluntee s, is much to be com
mended. To his company are we indebted for secu
rity from tiie visits of that strolling gang of the ene
my, whose late visit was attended with such heart-ren
ding circumstances. Twice has Capt. S. fallen in
with tiiis murdering band, and stopped their progress.
We have received the following particulars of one
of his scouting parties. Ho seems a favored man to
find the enemy so frequently. Friday last, 4th inst.
accompanied by Lt. Prevatt and 16 of his men, Capt.
S. proceeded to New River, and scoured the country
for 20 or 30 miles. On the 6th, they espied at a dis
tance three Indians. The Indians, having discovered
them, were fleeing. Tlic advanced guard attempted
to cut them off from the New River Swamp. Brit on
scouring another swamp of a few acres in extent, they
could find one of the enemy only, the others lim ing
reached the large swamp.
The Indian, upon whom they came, was shot. lie
probably was among tiie wounded in some previous
engagement, as they found on the lower part of his
baek, a scar, a short distance from which they cur. out
a buljet. There were thirty-fire and a half dollars iu
Mexican coin, found about him. This is supposed to
be part of the money taken from the house of-Mr,
Julius a few weeks since, that being the same coin.
Capt. Smith, with his men, returned 011 tlic 7tii, af
ter having been out four days. Capt. S. will probably
induce this predatory party to abandon their intention
of making other levies of scalps, money and horses in
this vicinity.
Gen. Eustis, we understand, is ordered to Florida
Col. Bankhead, we also understand, arrived at Black
Creek a few days since.

JUDGE WHITE’S PRETENDED CONQ.UEST
OVER THE SEM[.VOLES.
Among the impudent and infamous fabrications of
the Georgia handbill, to which we alluded yesterday,
is the following:
“Judge White also went to Florida, with Colonel
Williams aud Geueral Cocke, as volunteers, to fight
the Scininoles, at the close of tli3 last war, aud there
successfully subdued, that resiles and murderous tribe,
and consequently afforded protection to the women
and children of the frontier.”
Every particle of this is unalloyed falsehood. Judge
White never made a campaign agiust the Scmiiiolcs
in his life—probably never saw one. His Indian his
tory is confined to liis transaction with John Ross,
whose consul he was, and by whose advice, in con
junction with Clay’s, Ross undertook to set up a separ
ate and independent Government ife tiie heart of Geor
gia- . . .
Nothing signalizes White’s talent for deception so
much as the adroitness with winch lie contriyed toiicr-
snade the people of Georgia that lie was fighting their
battle, os chairman of the Indian Commjttc of tho Sen
ate, to relieve the State of-£i oss and his Cherokee ad
herents, while he was in fact Ross's attorney and coun
sellor, and actually had the first treaty for the emigra
tion of the Cherokc’os rejected in the Senate for his
benefit. To keep out of view his intrigues with Ross,
the handbill in question is filled with false statements
upon the subject, anJ White's fabulous Indian achieve
ments arc concluded by his conquest of the Scininoles
extracted above.
But the new-born wings north and south work al
together by shameless inventions. If they ennnot sue
coed by trick, deception, corruption, panic, &c. they
have 110 hope. They are gambling for tho Presiden

ELECTION RETURNS.
Thursday, Nov. 10, 1836.—<)*t Tuesday eveiiin
the federal wliigs of our goodly city were almost fran
tic with joy, iu consesquence of some exaggerated
statemeuts of the result of the Pennsylvania elceti 11,
which they had put in circulation. These returns, we
percieve, were conveyed to New York, iu advance of
the mail, by a delegation of federal whfgs front this
city, and endorsed by our respectable contemporaries
of the United Stales Gazette and the Pennsylvania In
quirer. .11 order to produce an effect on the'clcction hi
that Stale - . Cannon were fired in tho streets iq,
honor ol the victory, and it is said that such shaking
of hands aud embracing a* took place at tlic Exchange
never before occurred.- United States Bank sleek
rose from 110 to 119, at which price a very large a-
mount changed hands But. alas! in the space of a
few-brief hours, a chilling frost came;' and (he bright
hopes of our federal friends were suddenly blighted!
Tho northern mail which arrived daring the night cut
down their majorities in one oftheir strong holds, tn
creased the democratic majorities in one or two coun
ties, and threw a doubt on their whole statement,
which on inquirv. could not lie traced to any responsible
source. The consequence was. that bank stock yes
terday meriting fall from • 19 to 115, and the counten
ances of the wliigs fell still more. The southern and
western mails of last evening brought ftriher contra
diction of the federal statciueht, wliich they ill vain at
tempted tu sustain by a sec md Dixon express. It was
now the turn of the democrats to rejoice; and altlio'
they did not imitate the example of the friends ofgood
order bv discharging urtillervJn the streets at night, 10

boys of the Northern Liberties took possession of the

of the State, and oilier causes, which must he obvious
to every intoilige-t mail, which have had the effect
of reducing our majority, the democratic ticket has
undoubtedly succeeded. OF tiiis, ive repeat, we have
not the slightest doubt.
Or neighbor of the Commercial Herald yesterday
complained that he was •‘absolutely fatigued with an-
nouncing’whig victories !" Pennsylvania v,a« regen-,
etraped and that was “glory enough for one day.”—
Judging from the looks of the wliigs yesterday after

heartilly sick and tired of-ttch victories, and are ready
to exclaim, “Bring us no’more reports'.”'
