Land of the South ! —imperial land!— How proud thy mountains rise,— H<»w sweet thy scenes on every baud,— How fair thy covering skies ! But not tor this—oh, not for thee, I’love thy fields to roam.- Thou hast a dearertpeil to me, Thou art my native home! Thy rivers roll their liquid wealth, Cneqnulled to the sea, — Thy hillsand valleys bloom with health, And green with vardurc be ’. But not for thy proud ocean streams, Nor for thine azure dome— Sweet sunny South —lcang to thee,— Thou art my native home: I’ve stood beneath Italia’s dime, Beloved of tale and song,— On Hclvyn’s hills, proud and sublime, 'YVif 0 wonders throng; By Tdtnpc’s classic sunlit streams, . Where Gods, of old, did roam, — But ne’er have toiitv I so fair a land As thou—my native home! And thou hast prouder glories too, Than Nature ever gave,— Peace sheds o’er thee her genial dew, And freedom’s pinions wave— Fair science flings her pearls around, Religion lifts her dome, These, these endcar thee to my heart,— My own loved native home '• And “ Heaven’s best gift to man” is thine— God bless thy rosy girls!— Like sylvan flowers, they sweetly shine, — Their hearts are pure as pearls ! And grace and goodness circle them, Whure’r their footsteps roam, H<»w ran I then, whilst loving them, Not love my native home ! Land of the South ! —imperial land '. — Then here’s a health to thee, — Long as thy mountain barrier stand, Mayst thou be blessed and free! Mav dark dissention’s banner ne’er Wave o’er thy fertile loam, — But should it come, there’s one will die, To save his native home ! \vT [BY AUTHORITY.] BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE U. STATES OF AMERICA.

M. VAN BUREN. By the President: JOHN FORSYTH, Secretary of State. STONY POINT— by rev. j. n. maffit. Stony Point is about forty miles above New York, and ten or fourteen miles below West Point, It is a rounds gravelly bill, of small extent, jutting into the stream, and connected with the main and by the Morass which is par tially overflowed with the tide waters. It was fortified in the revolutionary w’ar, and, occupied by a small force, might have been considered as a remote outpost ttf the strong fortress of West Point, It was captured by th* British in the year 1778, and strongly repaired and garri sotted by more than six hundred soldiers, commanded by tiie brave Lt. Col. Johnson. .< ?\ t A few days before the sixteenth of July, in the same year, a tall, commanding personage mounted on a strong charger, was seen oh the eminences above Stony Poinb lie bad a glass in his hand, and appeared to study the character of the defences with an intensity of interest! John,on who was returning the gaze of the horseman, with his spyglass, turned to one of his staff, and remarked, that the apparition on the hill portended no good. Rumors were afloat about the entrenchments that the same tall fig ure had been seen across the river on the heights opposite ‘ the eminence the day before, like a horseman painted a gaintt the sky. P. a cow-boy,said that this figure was the apparition ot Washington, and that never was seen exepting. just before a battle or a thunderstorm. But while thesti, idle rumors floated atottnd the atmosphere of the caVnp,lh* real Washington, from observations made with his own eyes, was concerting a soldier like plan for its surprise. On the night of the 16th of July, by the twinkling light of the stars that broke over and through the clouds, two columns of soldiers might have been seen under the brow of the eminence in the rear of the fort. They were stent men—the silent, thoughtful men of New England. The eagle-eyed Wayne was at their head, and his heart was like that of the lion. The regiments of the Febigez and Meigs, with their youthful Major Hull’s detachment fram ed the right column ; Buller’s regiment, with two compa nies under Major Murphy, formed the left. The van of ' the right waS formed of one hundred and fifty volunteers, I at whose head stood the btave Fleury: one hundred vol unteers, under llewait, composed the van of the left.—* And still further advanced, the noblest post of all, stood two •’ forlorn hopes” of twenty men each—and command* ed by Lieut. Gibbins, and the other by Lieut Knox.*-* • Wayne stepped from man to man through the vanguards saw them take their flints from their pieces and fix the <!< ath-bayonet. At twenty minutes past eleven the two columns moved to the bloody work before them, one going to the left and the other to the right to make their attack . on opposite sides. 'l'he inhabitants on the eastern side es the river first heard a sharp crashing as the forlorn hope on either aider broke in the double row of abattis : the muskets of the sentinels flashed suddenly amidst the darkness, and in » moment the fortress vomited put flame and tbitrider, u if
