His heart was thy own; yea, its ev'ry pulsaton
Beat strongly for National glory, and thee.
He rrieved at thy wrongs, thy UNJUST degradation,
And hoped to behold thee, as once thou vert, free

Thy welfare more warmly, more truly, than he,
One who selfish. ideas more freely discarded

Just and vrtuous, and living for thee, and thee ony

Believing the Nation, distracted andloney,
Insufficient to win independence proud name.
Emnrrr's soul was devoted to Freedom and Honour;
His young arm was barred in his Country's cause:
For the hand of depression lay heavy upon hers
And keeny she smarted meath tyrannous laws
The sweet blooming Emerald Isle of the Ocean,
Where Nature her picturesque loneliness spreads,
Was ravaged by Spoilers, whose every motion,
Calpd loudly for vengeance to fall on their heads.
Vain, vain was the effort, the which rose beamng,
Soon set midst the dense clouds of darkness blood
And the Olgarch triumphed patriots lay streaming
In gore, who so lately with confidence stood,
And they who escaped from the battleeds slaughter
Had better have died with the 6relock in hand,
For the mercy they met with was infamous torture!

WILLIAM S. CARDELL.-As this gen.
tleman has lately excited considerable inter.
est among the iterati of our Borough. by his
new system Of Grammar, it may not bea-
miss to show in what estimation his labous
are held in New-York, where his merits
are best known. The following remarks are
from "the NewYork Literary Gazette and
American Athennum."
mr.. CardelPs System Of Language.-ln
telligent and thinking men are becoming
greatly Interested in the new system of ex
position In Language. 1t meets, of course
with opposition from some quarters, and it
would be strange If it did not. Every found.
er OF new system has to contend with the
opposition OF selt-interest, of mortified van
ty, and ofancient prejudice. But a system
founded on truth, consistent in all its parts
and unanswerable in its reasoning, will and
must prevail over the thousand arms of ri
vary and hostility. We carly expressed
cur decided conviction of the truth and cx-
ccllence of Mr.. C.'s system and it is with
no ordinary qualification that we have heard
the expression o. a similar opinion from
some OF the most distinguished and talent
ed men CT our State. Several of the most
eminent teachers in this city, who have for
wears been using the old system, have aban-
doned 1t in favour of the new, and state ex-
pressly, that they can nosv make their pu'
pills uAaer&taad grammar, and that the
work Is as practically useful as it is theoretl-
caly.
To our astonishment we have heard one
of the enemies of the new system object to
its style, and condemn it for inelegance--
Really there is no answering such an argH.
ment, unless we say that the man who uses
it is no judge of good zpritMg, and this We
do say unceremoniously. Ii we know any
thing about the matter, Mr.. C.'s STYLE is
chaste and energetic, and we arc
not solitary in this opinion. 1t is rather sin
gular that the style Of a new system should
be attacked in preference to its h,incihieS;
we should think the latter of more import
ance.
Among so many interested persons, is
there no one who is able, on principle, to
show the defects, or prove the falacy OF
Mr.. C.'ssystem? In writing SO much on q
plan so new, has he mistaken no important
lact In the train Of reasoning, to explain
and defend his theory, is his logic so close
mat no wrong deduction can be shown. Is
there no contradiction in the different parts
In defining words, before underlined, has he
not in some instances made mistake? New
York, probably more than any place, is the
strong hold of self-interest of various kinds,
N favour of the long standing theory Of nct
:er verb grammar, and, as a subject of inter,
,sting speculation, we should be glad to SEE.
what its champions may say in defence oi
doctrines so ably, and to all present appear
snce, SO irresistibly assaled.

ed he would; the interccder returned inhalf

Fire at Petersburg, Ha.-One Of the NEST ex-
tensive and calamitous Fires that has befallen
that devoted place since the desolating scene oil
1915, occurred on Wednesday night about o..
clock. 1t originated in aware room on Old
street, and in few minutes no less than six
houses were wrapped in flames. The wind
was high, and such was the rapid progress OF
the destructive element, that the spectacle is
represented awful beyond description. The
principle destruction was in Old and High
streets, consisting of Meade's extensive tavern
and stables, Stores, Warehouses, Workshops
and Dwellings, to the amount OF torty-the bet
ter Kind of which was, for the most part, in
sured. No estimate has yet been made OF the
loss in merchandise, furniture, produce, &c;
The amount, however, is great. Neither OF the
printing establishments were burnt; but that OF
the Republican was thrown into such coniu-
sion, as to suspend its operations for short
time. We regret to find the origin Of the Gala
mity is considered incendious.
No intimatiou is given that foreign aid will
be necessary, and we hope it will notbe; should
such be the unfortunate condition Of our r.
spected ueighbors, we doubt not that Alexandria
will readily contribute.
