An inhabitant Of southern state writes thus
to friend in Pennsylvania, where he formerly
resided.
at was but yesterday as sat before the
door Of my humble dwelling, that I saw no
less than twenty eight unfortunate black men
all ironed and chained together, with heavy
chain, moving along, bareheaded and bare
footed through the hot broillng sun; followed
by troop Of miserable looking women and
children, and the whole driven by inhuman
monsters in the shape Of mon armed with ps-
tolls 10 shoot down any poor negro who might
attempt to escape, and with clubs and whips
to drive forward the weary wretches that
might chance to fall behind. Hero were pa
rents who had been torn from their children;
children torn from their parents; husbands
from their''wives, wives from their husbands
chained together like wild beasts-they were
driven along to be sold like bruies. To be
sold to inhuman task-masters, inhabting
sickly country, where they must either drag
out miserable life in servitude, fall victims to
the most horrid diseases. or should they at
tempt to escape, become the prey Of alliga-
tors or venomous reptiles which abound in the
swa,nps Of the Mississippi My feelings re-
volted. and my soul sickened at the sight, and
closed my eyes on the horrid spectacle. I
exclaimed, can this be land of liberty"

THE WAR IN TURKEY.-The London
Courier, in speaking Of the prospects Of the
Russian army, remarks that no we'll founded
conclusions can be drawn from reference 10
previous campaigns. because the plan Of the
present is entirely new. Instead Of attempt
ing to force the great passes Of the Balkan
Mount aims, as heretofore, those formidable
points are not considered necessary to the in.
vaders, whose design is to keep along the
coast, near enough to hold constant commu.
nication with the fleet. The eastern pass
through the mountains is the only one which
they find necessary to get possession Of, and
t,at, it is presumed, can bs effected without
much delay. The provision and ammunition
trains Of the army being materially reduced
and liqhtened by the aid Of the fleet, the pro-
gress Of the troops will be less exposed to OBJ
structions while the enemy will find il diff
cult to guard every exposed point, and to
meet with necessary promptitude every move
ment made with such force and celebrity. The
Emperor must have had great confidence Of
success, or he could not have so readily yield
cd to the wishes Of England and France, in
abstaining from hostility against the Turks in
the Archipelago.

INSULT TO THE DEAp.-We have Been
an extract Of letter addressed by Andrew
Jackson TO the Editor Of Nashville paper =,
written and dated Immediately after the death

the Editor Of the newspaper, requesting him to
dress his columns in mourning on account Of
the death Of Dickinson. Upon this occasion.
Jackson, feeling stung at this expression OF
regret and honest Indignation of the citizens,
addressed violent note 20 the Editor, blam-
ing him for acquiescing in their request, and
at the memory Of the murdered Dick
ipson, by presuming that the public ,ce'e

1t is impossible to conceive anything moro
inhunan and barbarous to the friends Of the
deceased, than this insult. We do indeed
hope that nothing more is yet to come of a
similar description, connected with the hisio

Go--thou hast lcft a faithful heart,
For the glitter Of worldly show,
Thou hast acted false and cruel part,
In thy youth and failty-go
Thy tresses with eastern pearls arc bound,
But they heavily press thy brow,
And there's diamond lustre shed around;
But all fail to charm thee now.
There are slaves to come at thy queenly call,
And fatterers throng the way,
But they cannot hold thy heart in tha,
From its youthful loves away.
Thou hast lost the love of a faithful heart,
And the light of faithful eye,
Things whose deep worth we value not
Till they're past forever by.
Thy castle is proud, and its turrets high,
With gttering lights is fair,
But pass'd 10 a lonely balcony
And thou wer weeping there.
In the gancing light off crowded hall,
figure met thy gaze,
And what thousand thoughts did that look recall,
Thoughts Of thine early days.
Perchance thou hast thought thy love grown dim
And cold within thy breast,
Which was fondly cherished once for him,
And for fortunes sunshine left.
But the thrilling sound Of that once lov'd voice,
Like the charm of Musc's stain,
A single glance of that flashing eye
Has awakened all again.
And led thee back 10 the green Hill side,
And the ancient wooded glade,
Where with him, thy early friend and guide,
Thy footsteps often strayed.
There was crimson light on that beautiful check,
Bright wreaths were In her hair,
But the heart within--the pcIjured heart
Was false as the form was fair.
And there she stood in the moonbeam pale,
An image of pride, to show
How little might outward pomp avail
The hearts deep, inward woo.
