ON MY MOTHER’S GRAVE,

OI soft be her slumber, and calm be her sleep.
And sweet and unbroken the peace of her breait;.
And bright be the dew drops which even shall weep
O ertne turf-covered place where ihey’ve laid her to rest.
When the last rays oFsunset are fitfully dealing
O'er the earth which shall soon be o'ersbadow'd with
gloom, ,
And their lingering stay is in brightness revealing,
O! may they, retiring, glance bright on her tomb.
And when Eve’s brighi'slar through the twillghtiashining.
And casliugits beams on the murmuring wave.
May it glance wheie the wild flowers are sweetly entwin
ing
Their foliage bright to o’ershadow her grave. ' J

CAPTAIN FREEMQNT IN CALIFORNIA;
The operations of this gallant officei* in Cal-
ifiirnia have been but ioiperfpcHv know n in the
United States, while i« Mexico they have been
grossly misrepresented, It appears that 'Cas
tro, the Mexican Governor jii California made „ • „ . „ . .,,, - r .
— . , reemn tbe same ns the middle of winter,
an official communication to the (*» neral Gov- m, . .. . .
I liese were the difficulties and dangers in
While awaiting in hisfoiliSed position with
butsixlystwo men the expected attack of Cas
tro, the offers of assistance from American set
tlers in the country were refused byCapt. Fre
mont, as hedid not wish to compromise ihem
with the authorities. The subsequent events
which caused a change in Fremont’s plans and
determinations, before be bad beard ofthe war
between the United Slates and Mexico, are so
graphically narrated by Mr. Benton that we
quote ttie'Senator’s words:—
v “At the middle of May, Cnpt. Fremont, in
pursuance of his design to reach Oregon, and
return by the Columbia and Missouri through
the Northern Pass in the Rocky Mountains,
had arrived at the great Tlnmaili' Lake, in the
edge of the,Oregon territory, when he f*uud
his further progress complelely barred by the
double obslarle of hostile Indians, which C 'Stro
had excited against him, and the lofty moun
tains, coveied wiih deep and (ailing snows,
which made the middle of i\lay in that elevated
ernmeut in April last, charging Fremont with
having came into California at the head of a
body of Uniied State troops, under the pretext
of a Scientific expedition, but in reality to ex
cite the Americans settled in that province to
an insurrec'ion against the Mexican Govern-
m» nt. This communication was published in
the city of Mexico, on the 10th of May last.
The accusation officially made by Gov. Cas
tro being of a very grave character and seri
ously implicating the honor and good fuilh of
our Government, a statement has been made
by Mr. Senator Benton to the President of the
United States, in the absence of official reports
front. Behind, and on the north bank of the
San Fraicisco Bay, at the military postofSo-
noma, was Gen. Castro, assembling troops with
the avowed inteniinnofaitackingboth Fremont*
party, and all the American settlers, against
whom the Indians had been already excited.
Thus, his passage barred in front by impas
sable snows and mountains—hemmed in by
savage Indians, who were tliinniug the ranks of
his little party—menaced by a general at the
head of ten-fold forces of all arms—the Ameri-
forter. Henry was of tremendous bulk; and
it was remarked by those who were present at
the coronalion t that the crown had never before,
rested on such a very broad basin. He was
fond of athletic spans j and it is said by one of
the chroniclers tlvit lie used to. go out “a may-,
ing” in white satin, his courtiers being all dress
ed In whitesarsnet. This practice, commenced,
by a king, was eventually banded down to the
sweeps, with whom it slill prevails to a limited
extent; though few even ol them go a-maying
in the present day in satin.nt\d sarsnet, like.
IL-nry the Eighth and his courtiers, Henry,
was a bit of an author, and wrote a book against
Luther, which hung a good deal or hand, unti^
the Pope helped it on by granting indulgence
to every oiie who would Tend it. This caused
a very fair edition to be got rid of; but the
circulation was never very extensive. Henry
had ulready married Catharine of Arragou ; but
he took a dislike to her, as some say, on account
of her arrogance. This brings ns to that part
of ou r hero’s career which has rendered him
famous as the Blue Beard of British history.
He fell in love with Anne Bolyn, a \oung
lady whp had just come over from a French
hoarding school, arid was possibly called Anne
fiom Boulogne, which soon got corrupted iuto
Anne Bullong, and eventually Anne Bullin.
1 His majesty soon put away Catharine, or, as
he used coarsely to term her, his “old ’oman”
who was upwards of forty, while Miss Bullio
was only twenty. The king married her, but,
soon growing tired of her, fixed his eyes upon
one Jane, surnameJ Seymour, from u clumsy
nd ur.leeling joke of the tyrant, that he could
can settlers in California marked out for des
truction on a false accusation of meditating a res j see- more to admire in Jane than he did in Anne;
volt under his instigation—Ins men and horse- • ?o lie beheaded one aqd married the other,
suffering from fu'igue, cold and famme—and af-1 Her majesty Queen Seymour died a natural

looking, and Henry himself was very plaia-.
spoken; so that they were always having rows,
which ended in a divorce, that was really the
best thing that could happen for both parlies.
He afterwards married Miss Kale Howard,
the niece ofthe Duke of Norfolk. Her behead
ing followed, as a matter of course; for Henry
was famous fordoing tremendous execution a-
mong ihe fair sex. He was, however, always
either married ora person about to marry; and
he soon entered the slate of matrimony with
Catharine Pur, a middle-aged widow. This
lady escaped the block, as Henry died at fifty-
six. He was, when young, a generous, good-
natured fellow; but in after life he got very ill
tempered, and very corpulent; so that it took a
long time to get round him when he was once
out of temper.

The Governor’s courtesy, if real at uny t.me
was of brief duration. Scarcely had Gaptam
Freemont arrived in the valley befoie informa
tion came to hinj from all qua t iers that Castro
was raising the province against him and ad
vancing with atrougforces. 'TheConsul sent a
special messenger to warn him of his' danger, to
which Fremont returned the heroic answer al
ready published in the newspapers. ‘‘I am
making myself,” said he, iu his bri- f note writ
ten in pencil, which wus fur some time theon-
dependenco was immediately decl*red, and
the war proclaime I. A few days afterwards
an officer from Commodore Sloat brought in
telligence that the American flag was hoisted
al Monterey—an example which was immedi
ately followed, wherever the news flew. The
pursuit and defeat of Cattro was then the only
remaining enterprise. He had fled south to
wards Iht numerous Mexican towns and settle
ments beyond Monterey, with his four of five
hundred men; and Capt. Fremont, leaving
some fifty men in garrisons, set out with one
huudred and sixty mounted riff-men in the pur
suit, when he receiyed instructions from Coni

hit, would bound witli tremendous force, with
out striking the ground, for two or three hum

immense exertion was manifested on both sides,
so that it was not til> jate in Ifie afternoon that
the game was decided in favor of ihp fndianst
of the Presido. Many of the Jndjups retired
afterwards to the enjoyment of their Tcmescal
or hot-air baths, which is their usual resort af

roof for ihe e»cape of the smoke, and one at the
side, for eiffratjce. As many persons as it can
conveniently hold, enter, and make a fire close
to the door on the inside. They continue tq
add fuel to the flame till they can no longer bear
the intense heat, which throws them jnto a pro

crawl forth from the hut, and plunge themselves
headlong into the nearest stream. I have fre?
