THE ABORIGiNES.

THE ABORlGiNES.
Imagination in the moonlit hour,
Conjoin'd with silence opens to the view
A noble picture drawn in simple scenes;
And contemplation fingers on the mind
To heighten Mem'ry's sketch of former times.
Thus was it, as I on Potomac's banks
Beneath hanging willow sat and mused
(There nought occurred to break the silent scene,
Except at intervals the splash of oars.
As thro' the waters gondoa passed;
Or at times the shrill cry Of the ""hp-roor,wl,"
That from the branch Of some age.bendmg oak
Shriek'd on the breezes rs they fitted by.
The moon just peepins through the orient clouds
Revealed the half of her refulgent disc,
And DER the dimped waters throwing far
Tie coruscations of her fck'ring beam,
Heightened the pure scene Near me was placed
At intel walls row Of aged oaks,
There too the willow hung its dropping heal.
And ki,s'd the waters with its weeping boughs
The cypress monuments of times gone hy9
Me thought how chang from what they used to be
when peopled by pure and guile)ess race,
Her banks were wont to be the scene Of joys,
Unknown to modern and to POLISHED times.
% Iuckless day! when first the white mans foot
T'rod on this shore aad claimed 1t as his own!
Ambition and the factious policy of states
Were strangers, and too the 'Green-eyed-monster
Meier ruffi'd the bosoms Gifts savage lords:
Savage TO modern eyes, but purcr far
Than the usurpers Of their native land,
And every passion that now hast sway
Meier ruled theii unsophistcated minds.
Here cities raise their tall and lofty heads
Der uarriors' patriots and DER virgins gravesi
Aud every day but adds to their disgrace.
And sinks them deeper IN obli,ion's gulph.

Tuesday, MIR. Hoffman, as Chairman Of the

ton for pay aud subsistence TO the officers on
the ground, tia, it was too high--,hat the Off
Gers were NOT actually in service, and that II
was necessary 10 check their further increase
Ivy refusing 10 make the. appropriation, tar
the pay Of such officers as were waiting Tor
orders.-Wih This view he moved to strike
70 23o dollars from the appropriation II being
the amount Of the pay aed subsistence OF the
officers waiting for orders
Mr. Stnrrs the late Chairman # the Naval
Committee, bui whom the ia ksou speaker
deemed uiit TO be continued IN that station,
opposed the motion on the ground that a tenn
po airy employment OF our Nrval Offices, to
cease as soan as the ships to which they were
alta, he'd were on, OF commission, would be ut
terly destructive of our Naval int rest and
character: inasn,ach a. no officer OF charat ter
would continue in The employment Of a go, ern-
men,, which dschai ged him upon the termln-
alton Of the voyage.
Mr. Hoffman, however, thought that the
merchant service would supply us with Naval
officers, and thai Gan Off err spirit Won d ra'

which he did net earn. This argument was
too slrong however, even Tor The Jaok son party
