while on its shore beat high the breasts
OF many q thousand soldicry.

It's silver changed to crimson glow,
For hand to hand meets foe with foe,
In ready strife unanimously.
And bark, the %trumpet's signal sound,
Onward the impatient coursers bound,
Though death in torrents speeds around,
harvest reaping dreadfully'
For dire the carnage of that day,
And many strew the fatal way,
which late they filed in proud array,
Rushing to gain impetuously.
But backward see the column roll!
For terror strikes each warriors soul,
And devastation guards the goal
Which they have sought so gallan,ly.
France! is there none among thy brave,
Thy glory on this day to savet
To plant thy banner proud to wave,
Where floats thy foe triumphantly.
But who has crushed each bastard fear!
VIII foremost rushes to the war,
With banner waving bright. in air,
Urging his courser furiously.

NAUTICAL.

The Nantucket Inquirer lately gave On &C.
count of Capt. Coffin, in he ship Huron, hay,
ing unintenlionally got into a high southern
latitude, in consequence Of his having applied
the suns declination the contrary way. This,
like misa2plying the variation Of The compass,
and the equation of time, has no doubt Caused
the loss Of many vessels and lives. There IS
reason 10 believe that blunders Of this kind
occur more frequently than the public are
aware Of, which are ascribed to faulty COM
passes, or strong currepts.-Naviga,ors, like
physicians, do not always confess, nor do they
even know, the damage they have done by bad
practice. The critical occ asions when errors
Of latitude are most likely 10 occur, and when
a different method Of computation mus; be US
ed, is at The time Of The equinoxes, and when
the observer crosses under the circle OF the
suns declination. A vessel sailed from North
Carolina, for Gibraltar, in March, and unsx'
pec!edly reached The coast Of Norway, IN The
latitude 60 deg. differing "a degrees from that
OF her destined port. This was just double the
difference Of the suns Geelension from The TIN
that the error communicable appears, Thai
Capt. Collins ship was frozen fas, in the ice
on the 18th Of October last, in latitude, as he
supposed himself, Of so deg. South. Now the
suns declina,ion tia, day, and place was,
deg. l8 minutes south. Hence, if this ha
been applied the contrary way, tina, is, adde"

That method would also give the true lall'uas

From the Richmond Whir.

The followingnote was drawn from
Judge Marshall, by the article extras.
ed from the Mrylander, in the Wing of
Saturday. 1t will be seen that while
the Chief Justice disclaims the remark.
''that he should consider the election of
General jackson as virtual dissolu-
ton of the Union,' he likewise treats
with contempt the charge OF corruption
preferred against the President and S e.
cretary of State. The testimony Of
such man is worth whole volumes Of
argument, and weighs down the clamor
of ten thousand such as Kremer, Ingham
and Co. MARCH 90, 1928.
Sir: perceive in your paper of to-
day quotation from the Marylander,
of certain expressions ascribed TO me
respecting the pending election for the
Presidency of the United States, which
| think it my duty to disavow. Holding
the situation do under the government
of the United States, have thought il
right TO abstain from any public decla.
rations on the election; and were il 9th.
erwise, should abstain from a convic.
ton that my opinions would have no
weight.
admit having said in private that
though / had not voted since the estab.
iishment of the general ticket system,
aud had believed that never should vote
duringit continuance, might probably
depart from my resolution in this in
stance. from the strong sense / felt Of
the injustice of the charge of corrup-
ton against the President and Secreta-
ry of State: never did use the other
expressions ascribed to me.
Request You to say that you are au.
thorsed to declare that the Marylander
has been misinformed.
Very respectfully, your ob't.

GENERAL IAcKsoN's ACCOUNTS.

GENERAL IACKSoN's ACCOUNTS.
In bis letter to Samuel Swartwout,
of the 9Sd February, 1875, General
Jackson thus expresses himself:--
"The war over, and peace restored,
/ retired to my farm, to private life,
but for the call Ireceived to the Senate
of the Union, should have contented-
ly remained.-I have never sought of :
fee nor power, nor have been willing
TO hold any post longer than could be
useful to my country, not myself, and
trust never shalL'
If the reader will contrast the above
assertions of General Jackson, with
the facts presented in the following ar
ticle be will at once see the propriety
of that rule which prevents an indivi
dual from testifying in his own behalf.
This is not the only instance in which
the General has been proved to have
mistated the fact in relation to himself.
That he has also done in relation to
others, we instance his charges made
against Mr.. Clay, to Beverly.
From the Harrisburg intelligence
By an act of Congress of the Sd
March, 1915, considerable reduction
of the army was effected: two Major
Generals, viz. Gen. Brown and Gen.
jackson were retained After this ar
rangement, Gen jackson returned to
his plantation, to enjoy the plain farm
er's life, Of which we have heard so
much, with an annual income of seven
thousand dollars, arising from the sal
airy and perquisites Of the office he held.
This agreeable situation he was per-
mitted to enjoy until the spring of 1921,
when further reduction of the army
took place. He was then appointed
governor of Florida, over which he
reigned about seven months. Now, to
enable our readers TO form a correc. es-
innate of the patriotic disintereste dness,
and economical simplicity of life of this
plain farmer of Tennessee, we subioin

For his seven months services as go
werner of Florida, he charged seven
thousand dollars. One item in the ac-
count, is a charge of one thousand and
forty dollars for wines, SC. for the
use of his family during the period
From these accounts, it will be seen
that the General, while at home attend,
ing to his farm, charged his full pay of
two hundred dollars per month as maj or
general, as if in actual service! Two
thousand one hundred and ninety-six
dollars per year, or upwards OF forty
two dollars per week, for boarding him
self at his own table-S662 90, Tor
feeding, clothing and wages of his
negroes employed on his farm-400 dol

to these enormous charges Tor holding

charges $3.50 90, for less than two
months services as Indian agent, all in

charged full allowance as major gene
