Toccoa. in Cherokee, the beautiful, is a very different
sptt from TaLLUI.su, the terrible. To see tlie iormer in
your mind's eye, imagine a sheer precipice of gray mid
rugged rock, one hundred and eighty six feet high, with a
little quiet lake at its base, surrounded by sloping tnssscs of
granite and tall shadowy* trees. From the overhanging lips
of this cliff, aloft, between your upturned eyes and the sky,
comes a softly-flowing stream: This making it soft joyous
leap at first, breaks into a shower of heavy spray, nnd scat,
ters its drops more and more widely nnd minute, until, in lit-
lie more than a drizzling mist, it saturates the smooth moss
covered stone, lying immediately beneath. All the way up
jhe sides too, of this precipice, cling, wherever space is af
forded. little mf s of moss, and delicate freshly-grccn vine,
and creepers, trickling through the black fissures in the
granite.
There is no stunt ing noise of boisterous falling waters,
but only a dripping, pattering, plashing in the margin of the
little lake; a murmuring sound above all others grateful du
ring the noontide beat of a summer's day. There comes al
so a soft cool breeze, constantly from the foot of the preci_
pice, caused by tlie falling shower, and this ripples tlie pia.
cid surface of the peol, and stirs the leaves around and over'
bead ever so gently. After all, Tallulah is a place to be
admired,Toccoa lobe loved*

Can I forget that happiest day
That happiest day of all the year,
When on tlie sloping rock I lay,
Toccoa dripping near.
Tlie lifted wonder of thy eyes.
The marvel of thy soul confessed.
Aloft I saw the clouded skies,
Below, thy heaving breast.
On wings of mist. In robes of spray,
Long trailed and flowing white and wide,
Adown the mountain steep and gray*,
We saw Too oa glide.
Her garments sweeping through the vale,
Began the whispering leares to wake,
Atpl wafted like a tiny sail,
A loaf across the lake.
The tnurtr.ur of the falling shower.
Which did the solitude increase,
We heardt the cool and happy hour
Filled our young hearts with peace.
Thou sat’st with meek and maiden grace.
Thou saw’st the rugged rocks and hoary.
As with a half-uplifted face
Thou licard'&t the forest story,

How many of the banished race.
Those old red warriors of the bow,
Have slumbered in this shadowy place.
Have watched Toccoa flow.
Perchance, where now we sit. they laid.
Their arms and raised a boastful chauut.
While through the gorgeous autumn shade
The sunshine shot aslant.
V.
One night, a hideous howling night.
The black boughs heaving overhead.
Three braves all painted, w*ar bedight,
A false Pe ro-kali* lad.
Rright were her glances, bright her smiles,
Wond'rous her waving length of hair;
(Ye wliodesceLd through slippery wiles,
A maiden's eyes bew*arc.)
Tf.
Wbat saw these swarthy Cherokres,
In the deep darkness, on the brink7
They saw a red fire through the trees,
Through the tossed branches wave and winkt
They saw pale faces, white and dreaming:
Clutched their keen knives and held their breath;
(All this was but a cheating seeming;
For them, not for the phantom's death.)
Tit.
Spoke then the temptress (maid or devil;)
Let the pale sleepers sleep no more.
Whoop!—three good bounds o’er solid rock,
Then vacant blackness for a floor.
Yelled the fierce braves with rage and fright;
With fright their bristling plumes arorc*
On these, down fluttering, did ihe nighl
Her jaw's sepulchral close.
viii.
These rocks tall lifted, rent apart.
This Indian legend old.
To thee, enchantress oslhou art,
A wanting truth unfold.
Who love, mid midnight dangers statid,
To them false fires too often wink;

That beckons to the brink !

gazing at tlie march of the
It well deserves the name. It is the mightiest
mass of power ever combined under one head;
half a million of men. The armies of Persia
were gatherings of clowns compared to this in
comparable display of soldiership ; the armies
of Alaric nnd Altiln were hordes of savages in
comparison ; the armies of ancient Kome alone
approached it in point of discipline, but the
niost powerful Roman army never reached a
fifth of its number. I see at this moment be
fore me the conquerors of the continent, the
brigades which have swept Italy, the bayonets
and cannons which have broken down Austria,
and extinguished Prussia. The eagles arc now
on the wing for a mightier prey.
This prediction was like the prayers ol the
Homerc heroes—
*• One half the gods dispersed in einpiy air.”
Poland was not to be liberated ; the crisis was
superb, but tlie weapon was not equal to ihe
blow. It was the first instance in which the
French Emperor was found inferior to his for
tune. With incomparable force of intellect,
Napoleon wanted grandeur of mind. It has
become the custom of later years to deny him
even superiority of intellect; hut the man who,
in a contest open to all, goes before all—who
converts a republ c, witfi all its ardor, haughti
ness, and jiassion, into a monarchy at once as
rigid and as magnificent as an oriental despo
tism—who, in a country of warriors, makes
himself the leading warrior—who, among the
circle wiiliin circle of ihe subilest political in
trigues, baffles all intrigues, converts them into
tlie material of bis own ascendancy, and makes
the subtlest and ihe boldest spirits his instru
ments and slaves—has given sufficient evi.
dencc of the superiority of his talents. The
conqueror who beat down in succession all
ihe great military names of Europe, must have
been a soldier; the negotiator who vanquished
all existing diplomacy, and the statesman who
remodeled the laws, curbed the fiery temper,
and reduced to discipline the fierce insubordina
tion of a people, whose first victory had crush
ed the State, and heaped the mins of tlin
thione on the sepulchre of their king—must !
have been a negotiator and a statesman of the
first rank. Or, if those were not the achieve
ments of intellect, by what were they done?
If thev were done without it, of what value is
intellect ? Napoleon had then only found the
stili superior secret of success ; and we deny
his intellect, simply to give him attributes high
er than belong to human nature. No man be-
(ore him dreamed of stich success; no man in
bis day rivaled it; no m.m since his day has
attempted its renewal. ‘\IJut lie was fortu
nate !” What can he mote childish than to
attempt the solution of the problem by fortune?
Fortune is n phantom. Circumstances may
arise beyond the conception of man ; but when
the feebler miiul yields to circumstances, the
stronger one shapes, controls, and guides them.
This man \vu3 scot lor a great purpose of
justice, and he was gifted with tlie (acuities for
its execution. An act of imperial guilt had
been committed, of which Europe was to he
purged by penalty alone. The fall of Poland
was to be made a moral to tlie government of
the earth ; and Napoleon was to be the fiery
brand thut was to imprint the sentence upon
the foreheads of the gittai criminals. It is in
contemplations bkc these, that the spirit of his
tory ministers to the wisdom of mankind.—
Whatever may be the retribution for individu
als beyond the grave, justice on natious must
be done in this worlJ ; and here it will be
done.
The partition of Poland was the most com
prehensive and audacious crime of the modern
world. It was a deliberate insult, at once to
laws of nations, and to ihe majesty of the great
Di*poscr of nations. And never fell ven
geance more immediate, more distinct, or more
characteristic. The capital of Austria twice
entered over the bodies of its gallant soldiery ;
Russia tavagedand Moscow burnt; the Prus
sian army extinguished by the massacre of
Jena, and Prussia in a day lettered for years—
were the summary and solemn retribution of
Heaven. But, when the penalty was paid, the
fate of the executioner instantly followed.—
Guilt had punished guilt, and justice was to
be alike done upon all. Napoleon and his
empire vanished, us the powder vanished that
explodes thb thine. The ground Was broken
up; the structures of royalty on its surface
wero deeply fractured ; the havoc was com
plete ; but the fiery deposit which had effected
Hie havoc, was itself scattered into air.
His re-establishtnent of Poland would have
been an act of grandeur. It would have
shewn that new spirit which had gone forth
summoning the world to regeneration, was it
self regeneration ; that it was not a tempter,
but a restorer; that all conquest was not self
ish, and all protestation not meant to deceive.
If Napoleon lutd given Poland tl diadem, and
placed it on the brow of Kosciusko, he would
in that act, have placed on his own brow a dia
dem which no chance of the field could have
plucked away ; an imperishable and dazzling
answer to all the calumnies of his age, and all
tlie doubts of posterity. He might even have
built, in the restoration of the fallen kingdom,
a citadel for his own security in all the casual
ties of empire; but, in all events, lie would
have fixed in the political heaven a star which,
to the last recollection of mankind, would have
thrown light on his sepulchre, and borne his

Tlie United States is the phenomenon of ihe

true principles, to change its nature, to restrict

distort its natural beauty, disturb the harmony
of its action, enervate its power and deprive it
of the main elements of perpetuity. It was the
boast ofa favourite noet, “slaves cannot breathe
in England;” it should be our boast here; that i
the son of a foreign soil should have no cause j
to feel that he is a foreigner himself. Having J

The Folly of Pride.—After all, take some
quiet, sober moment of life, and add together
the two ideas of pride and of man; behold lum,
creature of a span high, stalking through infin
ite space, in ail tlie grandeur of littleness.—
Perched on a speck of tlie universe, every wind
of heaven strikes into his blood the coldness of
death; his soul floats from his body like melody
from the string; day and night, as dost on the
wheel, he is rolled along the heavens, though
a labyrinth of worlds, and all the creations ol
God arc flaming above and beneath. Is this a
ctcature to make himself a crown of glory, to
deny bis own flesh, and to mock at bis follow,
sprutis from that dust to which both soon re
turn? Docs the proud man not err? l>oes lie
ihH die? XVlien he reasons, is lie never stop-
b right reality.

ccnt annexation of the Republic of Texas to

of offence lo any other nation. It has been
effected not by the sword but a simple cove
