Dear K«tr,l do nol swear and ran',
Or sigh avrrl things, ax many can;
But though my lip ne’er (daya the slave,
My heart will nol disgrace the man,
1 prize thee—aye, my honnie Kale,
Hu firmly fond thin hrraal ran lie,
That I would hriHik the alernral fair,
If it but left me health and thee.
I do not promise that our life
Shall know no xhadc on heart or brow,
I For human life and mortal alrifc
~ Would mock the falsehood* of such tow.
But when the clouds ol pain and care
Shall leach ua wr are nol divine,
My deepest sorrows thou shall share,
And I will strive to lighten thine.
We love each other, but, perchance,
The murmurs ol dissent may rise :
Fierce words may chasu the lender glance,
And angry Hashes light our ryes,
Bui we must leant to check Ihe frown,
To reason rather than to blame;
The wisest have their faults to own,
And you aud I, girl, have the same.
You mual not like me less, my Kale,
Fur such sn honest strain as this,
I love thee dearly, hull hale
The puling thymes of ‘kiss’ and ‘hliss,’
There’s faith tn all I’ve said nr sung;
I woo thee as a man should woo;
And though I lack a honeyed longue,
Thou’lt never ftnd a breast more true.
May Morning.
Wake! it is morning! Beauty wake!
Moonlight is fainting on the lake;
Come from your chambers, gentle maids;
Ere the last pala ray of slarligltl fades.
Wake with the dawning, Beauty, wake!
Morning is corning o’er hill and lake.
Hark lo the* cadence >n (he hill ?
’Til* the lasi dull note of the whip, poor-will;
Hhe has sung all night from her dewy bower,
To gladoert the visions of slumber’s hour.
Wake with the dawning. Beauty, wake!
Morning is coming o’er hill attd lake.
The lark is singing his early hymn,
Add far in the west the mountain looks dim;
THeVe’s hut one lone s'ar in the night’s pale /.one,
Add the bright sutt is corning to mount his th.nne.
Wake with the dawning, Beauty, wake !

Kktiiuit of tiik Captivk.—Our citizen*,
yesterday morning, wore introduced lo the
acquaintance ol John Wood, n man whoso
tafo of sorrow could not fail of interesting the
heart, however callous, or however prone lo
incredulity. A meagre sketch can only be
givcqi now. The ample history of his misf'or
luries umy hereafter be presented to the world
tl given by a master hand, will command
(Its interest, end enlist the sympathy of the
public, when the mawkish productions of lie*
lion, which now cumber our bookstores and
insult our taste, shall have been despised and
forgotten.
In the war of 1812, John Wood, now filly
yCSM old, was a young and industrious far
mer in Bracken aounty, Kentucky. He was
the husband of a young and interesting wo
man, and the father of two infant children.
He was living in happiness on a farm which
he had earned hy Ins industry, when the gal-
Jant ( apt Butler (who afterward fell ni ihe
ctftmtfe of the British batteries at Fort Meigs)
raised hie (lag, and solicited the hardy Ken
tuckians of Bracken county to enroll them
selves among the defenders of their country.
JohA Wood was one of the number. He suf
'W 11 Jne privations to which the Army of
the,North West was exposed, during the dis
asUous campaign which resulted in U.o do
te||t of Wmchester at the River Raisin. By
gtfpd fortune he escaped the tomahawk of the
savstfe allies ol Orest Britain, and was sent
a prisoner of warlo Quebec.
He was next, with other American prison
er*, despatched in a transport to Plymouth,
in England. From Plymouth, accompanied
by ■ crowd of fellow prisoners, lie was about
to be transferred to Dartmoor, when lie found
a •opportunity to elude Ins guards and make
Ins escape. He wandered through the coun
try,’stealing through by-ways, until he found
himself al Bristol. Hunger compelled him lo
enter a grocery, the head quarters ol a press
gang. Here he was pressed, and despite Ins
protestations that he was a citizen of the Uni
ted Elates, and a fugitive prisoner of war,
fiVCts which might have been easily proved by
reference lo the military authorities at Piy
rtdtrth, he was put on board. Him Majesty’s
Bjgttt.Sea Horse, then the ling ship ol the
c Sir Peter Parker, and compelled lo
bWMttins against hia countrymen.
'gn.,board the Sea Horse were several oth
tt Americans, who, like Wood, had (alien vie
lima to the British system of impressment.
They determined on desertion; and, when ly
the port ol St John, they succeeded m
atjppnng a boat in an extremely dark night,
•ijll attempted lo reach the Eastern coast of
% Slate ol Maine. They were instantly
pIMWW. and were obliged to desert their
the shore ol New Brunswick, and
seak slieltcr n thw woods. Alior wandering
about fur two days, exhausted with cold anti
huagor ami fatigue, they were apprehended
bjt>t -parly ol British soldiers, and again trails
fesredito the Ees Horse. The pnirshmciU
that fallowed tins act of deserl on, was mllic>.
tei with all ingenious refinement of cruelty
fnvwjnch the British navy is so celebrated.
■The Sea Horse, attached to the squadron
under Admiral Cockburn, was shortly ordered
into the Chesapeake, and look an active part
in'the robbing, burning, and murdering of the
defenceless inhabitants ot the coast. Mr.
Wbod and the impressed Americans were
■Wfer permitted to leave their vessel. He
wkspff board on the night when Sir Peter
Phrltet met his fate on shore. A few days
edbsiijnent to this event, he, in company with
seven other impressed Americans, attempted

It is JtowiWvemy six years since he left hi* |

sen all the pride of a Kentuckian, and sent
him on Ins way in the stage to Wellsvillc,
from which town lie intends to embark in a

Finsr Atlantic Steamer. —We find in the
New London (Lon.) (Jazclle, the following par
ticular* of the first sleam navigation of the Allan
lie. They were communicated to the (Janette
hy Capt. Stephen Rodgers, of (Jraton, who was
sailing master of the ship Savannah, of which
Moses Rodgers, of Croton, was ihe commander.
She was seen from the telegraph station, at
(Jape Clear, on the southern coa»t of Ireland,
and rvporled aa a ship on fire. The ad i mil who
lay in the Cove of Cork, despatched one of the
King’s cutlers to her relief. But great was their
astonishment, at their inability with all sail in a
fast vessel, lo come up with a ship under Imre
poles. After several shot* were tired from the
cutter, the engine was stopped, and (he surprise
of her crew at the mistake they had made, as well
as (heir curiosity to see the singular Yankee
craft, can he easily imagined. They asked per.
mission io go on hoard, and were much gratified
liy the inspection of this naval novelty. On ap
proaching Liverpool, hundreds of people came off
in boats to see her. She was compelled lo lay
outside the har, till the tide should serve for her
to go in. Luring this time she had her colors all
(lying, when a huat from a British sloopiof-war
came along side and hailed. The sailing-master
was on deck at the lime, and answered. The of.
licet ot Iho boat asked him—“ Where is your
master ?”—to which he gave the laconic reply—
“l have no master, Sir.” “Where’s your Cups
lain, then !” “He's below—do you wish to see
him?’ 1 do, Sir,” —Tire Captain, who was then
below, on being called, asked what he wanted—
to which he answered—“ Why do you wear that
pcirant. Sir.” Because tny country allows me
to, Mir.” My commander thinks it was done to
insult him, and it you don’t tske it down, ho will
send a force that will do it.” Capt. Rodgers
then exclaimed to (he Engineer—“CJel tire hot
water engine ready.” Although there was no
such machine on hoard lire vessel, it hud ‘.he de
sired effect, and John Bull was glad lo paddle off
as lout ns possible. On approaching the city,
the shipping, piers and roofs of houses were
thronged with persons cheering the adventurous
crull. Several naval officers, noblemen, and
merchants from London, came down lo visit her,
ami were vcryjmrious to ascertain her speed, tlos>
tiuation, Arc. As it was soon after Jerome Bona
parte had offered a large reward lo any one who
would succeed in taking his brother Napolean
from Ml Helena, it was suspected that that was
ihe object of the Mavunnah. After remaining 25
days in Liverpool during which she was visited
by thousands ol people of all rank, and her officers
were treated wilh marked attention, she left for
Copenhagen, at which place alio arrived in safety,
where she excited similar curiosity. Sho pro
ceodod"thence lo (Stockholm, in Mwccdcn where
she was visited by the Royal family, the foreign
ministers, naval officers, nobility and others, who
by invitation ol Mr. Hughes, the American min
ister, dined on hoard, and took an excursion
among the neighboring islands with which they
were much delighted.
Lord Lyndoch, of England who was then on
a tour through the North of Europe, by invila- |
lion of our minister, look passage on hoard of
the Savannah, for St Petersburg!), which place
she reached in due time. Here she was visited 1
by the invitation of our minister at the court, by 1
several noblemen, militay and naval officers, who
also tested her superior qualities by a trip lo
Cronsladt. Her officers received several valua.
bio presents of plate, Ate. Ate., and we hove now
before us a superb gold snuff box, presented to
her sailing master, Capt, Stevens Rodgers, by
Lord Lyndoch. She sailed from St. Petersburg!)
lo Copenhagen, and thence to Arendal, in Nor
way, whence she returned to Savannah, where,
alter n passage of about 35 days, she arrived in
safety—being the first steam vessel that ever cross
ed the Atlantic—and after performing a voyage
highly credible to American ingenuity and en.
terprisc.
She used Liverpool coal for fuel, of which she
took seventy-five tons ; as well aa 25 cords of
woods for kindling. She had no freight, and only
used her engines when not able to go at the talc
of four knots wilh her sails. By the great fire in
Savannah her owners were compelled to sell her,
and she was purchased le run as a packet be.
tween that place and New Y'ork, whither she was
hound, under charge of Captain Nathaniel Hol
dredge—now maslcr of the Liverpool packet ship
United Stales,—when she was lost on the south
side of Long Island.

“We regret to hear that the U. 8. Steam Frigate
Fulton new at tho Navy yard in Washington, is
considered a complete failure." This is con fir.
matory of a statement published some weeks ago
in the Fredericksburg Arena, which declared the
Fulton to be a decided failure. We are sincerely
sorry for it, inasmuch as the circumstance is like
ly to impair public confidence in steam vessels as
a moj ns of coast and harbor defence, when, in
fact, there ought te be and need bone suck mis.

ness of the Fulton, like that of some of the tea

Fibk Phoof Csbext—The French cement
for the roofs of houses, to preserve the wood
and protect it from tire, is made in the follow
ing manner :
Take as much lime as is usual in making a
pot full of white wash, and let it be mixed in
a pail full of water ; in this pul 2$ lbs. of
brown sugar, and 3 lbs. offint salt ;* mix them
well together, and the cement is completed.
A little lampblack, yellow ochre, or other col
oring commodity, may be introduced to change
the color of the cement, to please the fancy of
those who prefer it. It has been used with
great success, and been recommended partic.
ularly as a protection against fire.
Small sparks of fire, that frequently lodge i
on the roofs of houses, are prevented' by this i
cement from burning the shingles. So cheap ,
and valuable a precaution against tbe destruc- I
live elatnent, ought not to pass untried.—
Those who wish to be better aatiaiied of ita 1
utility can easily make the experiment, by t
using it on a small temporary building ; or it '
may be tried by shingles put together for the <
purpose, and then exposed to the fire. >
*lf one pound of alum be added it will greatly im- 1
prove the cement.

This morning about 11 o’clock, a fire broke eat
in a building situated on the corner of the Bowery
and Fifteenth street, which wa« soon destroyed,
and two men out of four, who were at work on
the premises, were burned to death. The buil
ding waa used as a manufactory for making fire
works; and so combustible were the materials,
and so rapid the flames, that the two workmen
bad net time to escape.
P. •. Since the above was in type, we have
learned that a third person has been taken from

Inaonaitci Csss.—The following case has
lately been tried before the Supreme Court of
. Boston. The Commonwealth Insurance Com
pany insured the brig Sterling of Wiscasset for
$4OOO, on condition that they should not be li
able for any loss unless it amounted to 50 per
cent. In February, 1834, the brig got ashore
on Lynnhaven bar, and waa abandoned by the
assured to the underwriters, who refused to
accept the abandonment, but sent an agent
to the place. He got her off", had her repair
ed and brought to Boston, where she was at
tached by the plaintiffs, (the Insurance C 0.,)
but was afterwards given up to the defendants
on a bond. This suit was brought by the
Company to recover the amount expended by
them, #1626 77. The jury found a verdict in
their favor, which was sustained by the Judge
who considered that the defendants had no
right to abandon, unless the loss amounted to
50 per cent ; and that the plaintiffs were com
pelled by their conduct to undergo this ex
pense, in order to ascertain whether they were
themselves liable. The expense, therefore,
was justly chargeable on the defendants, and
judgement was given on the verdict.—Balti

From th« beginning, the Government papers
have teemed with statements respecting the pro
ceedings in the House of Representatives on the
Duelling subject, calculated, and indeed obviously
intended, to mislead the mind of those who read
them, as to the course of Members concerning
the matter, and give a party coloring and bearing
to the whole. The malignant intention of the
official paper of this city is particularly transpa
rent in its notice of tho proceedings in the House
on Thursday, when the subject was laid on the
table. The Government editor would make out,
if he could, that the ‘'Opposition,” as he etylea
the independent Republicans in Congress, are to
blame for having forced upon the attention of the
House the subject which has occupied it in a
‘•twenty days’ struggle,” and that this “struggle”
has arisen out of a detire, on Ike part of thia
Opposition, to defeat a full investigation and elu
cidation of this manor.
This is all the teversa of fact.
Some of the Republicans in the House were,
indeed, originally opposed to the investigation,
foreaeeing (exactly what has come to pass) that
it would be attempted to be made a party ques
tion of, and that no good, but much waste of
time and public money, would result from it.
But, once begun, the very same persons were for
seeing out the play; and a comparison of the yeas
and nays upon the question of raising the com.
mitlee, and the yeas and nays on laying the sub
ject on the table, will show that four fifths at least
of those who voted to lay the subject on the ta
ble were gentlemen by whose votes the House
first determined to raise a committee upon it. We
do not stale this circumstance for the purpose of
srraigning them here for inconsistency, but for
the put pose of calling the attention of the reader
to the fact that nearly all those who voted against
laying the reports upon the table, and who desi
red an early conclusion upon them, are members
included under the Government classification as
“the Opposition.”
The whole of the twenty days’ struggle, of
which the Globe speaks, has been, in fset, a strug
gle on the part of the originators of the investi.
gation to avoid coming to a direct question by
postponing, Sec. and of the “Opposition” gene
rally to prevent delay and postponement, and
come to a decision immediately upon the merits

the banks have kept up their line of discounts,
and saved their merchants. Here a most extraor
dinary curtailment of discounts, and a withdraw

A French sloop of war, and a brig of 22 guns,
were already at Buenos Ayres. On the 12th of
March all foreign merchant vessels were to re
ceive notice to quit the port within 14 days, with
such cargoes as they might previously obtain.
The French Consul wav to go on board one of
the French men of war on the 13th. It was ge
nerally believed at Buenos Ayres-that the disa
greement would be settled soon. M S ship Fair
field was at Rio, aad daily expected at Buenos
Ayres.
From the N, Y. Commercial Adv. May 17.
Treasdrt Notes.—#soo of six, per cents,
were sold this morning at par.
United Buies Bank note* are purchased in
Wall street today at a1 j per cent discount.
The business done at the board this morning
was very large, and, as will be seen by the nota
tions, in some instances, at higher price* than the
sales of yesterdsy.
A Good Rstort.— Lyne Stephens was wend
ing his way a short time ago, through some nar
row passage, when he met a pretty modest girl.
“Pray my dear,” said he, “what do you call
this passage 1”
“Balaam’s passage,” replied the girl.
•‘Ah, then,” continued the puppy, “I am like
Balaam—stopped by an angel.
_ “And I,” rejoined the girl, as she pushed past
him, “am like the angel stopped by an ass.”
Phsctical Abolition.—A curious story is
related of an Abolitionist in the West. Boon
after putting up at a tavern kept by a wag, he
commenced preaching his abolition doctrines.—
He endeavored to make black Bill, the hostle,
belive that he was "equal” to a white man. It
docs not appear that Bill fully understood how
that could be; but his master getting wind of it,
caused the negro to dress himself up like a gen
tleman, and at nigh; to occupy one of the
best beds in one of the best rooms in the house.—
When the Abolitionist expressed a desire to
retire to rest, the landlord conducted him to
Bill’s apaitment, and told him that the bed which
the negro occupied was the one in which he would
have to sleep for the night. He drew back with
aghast at the sight of the curly headed negro, and
gave vent to hi, indignation! It all would nut
do, however; the landlord gave him to understand
that it was the only bed in the house, and that,
as it was a favorite theory with him that negroes
were as good as white people, he could hove no
objection to his bed follow. He was compelled
to bundle with the negro; but, it is said, not
before charging Bill at his peril, to remove his
black carcass to the other side as far as possible!
Bill told his master next morning, that the
Abolitionist did not close his eyes during the
night, but abused him for a dirty black negro,
from the time he laid down till he got up!

The late elections in this State have had a
singular effect upon every body. All parties
seem to be pleased . The Conservatives are
gratified at the signal defeat of their late Sub-
Treasury associates, even though they lose
their leader—the Subservients arc deligh'cd
at the prostration of Rives, and are already
holding out lures to a prominent Whig, to
avow himself for their scheme-ami the Whig*
are cheered by the certainty that they have
laid out forever the whole crew of charlatans
who have been cajoling and plundering the
people. —Richmond Whig.

“RICHMOND AND FETERSBURGII '
RAIL-ROAD.
. —m~i mn -
yTPffVf Ell t -I
The completion of this Rail-Road, (from Peterv
burgh to Manchester, opposite Richmond,) makes
the chain of rail-roads through the state of Virgi
nia continuous, with the exception of only nine
miles, and adds important advantages to the inland
route for Northern and Southern travelling.
There are established on it two daily trains, one
of which is in connection with the North and South
Mail Line; and a tri weekly tram connecting with
the “ Hnlilax, Wilmington, apd Charleston Rail
Road. Stage and Steamboat Line.”
Passengers from the South by the daily “ Metro
politan Mail Line,” w ill arrive in Richmond . n tho
evening after that on which they leave Raleigh
and having the night for rest, are yet enabled, by’
ousting arrangements, to proceed to Baltimore on
the succeeding day, and thence to Philadelphia the
same night, in time for the morning boats lo Now
York Tme, less than three days from Raleigh to
New York.
Passengers who leave Charleston fir Wilmington
on Sunday or Tuesday evening, will, if they arrive
in Halifax by five o clock on Tuesday or Thursday
evening be brought to Richmond by the tri weekly
hue, in time for the Wednesday or Friday morning’s
cars for Washington, whereby they will reach Bal
limore the same evening, anil can proceed to Phila
delphin the same night, and arrive in New York be
fore dinner on Thursday or Saturday: being Itsa
than four days from Charleston lo New York. The
connexion is equally good ami expeditious w ith tho
extra line from Wilmington, and with all the lines
from North to Sooth.
The route through Petersburg!! and Richmond
will be found also to b e one of the best routes from
the South to the Virginia Springs. The passen
gers can arrive in Charlottesville, having only forty
four miles stage travelling after reaching the rail
roads in Virginia, in three days from Charleston
and two days from Raleigh.
All possible arrangements are made on this Rail-
Road for the comfortable and safe transportation of
passengers.
