What no! brother Duff What no! brother Noah,
United we meet, tho oft parted before.
But what do see! discomfort in your faces!
Nay brothers don't quarrel too soon for the places.
Look at Dan in the Senate, as black as despair;
And Matty at home in the Governors chair.
Think how we have choused the fed of his claims
To Justices seat, or a trip to ST. James
Go sheer in the face OF our foe Johnny Q.
While be turns TO the chair and bids it adieu.
Old Time in my hand has been forcing this crutch,
But still with the other my pen can clutch;
And still can | soil with it man, page
With the hatred ct youth grown rank in old age
Likethe web of the spider by venom made strong;
1t shall hang up my foes a. spin it along.
So let them rush on the whole pack in full cry,
Dwight's stories and letters and all I defy.
Echo Eye.
GEv. GREEN.
Good brothers we'll met.-We have cook ed up dish
As hot IN its favour as mortsls could wish
fis the savoury steam that my nOstnls dila:es,
While my watery mouth in expectancy waits.
We three the chief cooks, ought to share in the feast
Ere our turnspt. the people. is hepd to the least,
And so have penned, snugly laid on the shelf,
Whole columns Of praises of YOU AMI ourself.
Echo Self.
MAJOR Moan.
Veil done brother Duff! let the federasts see
That the people from bargains will shake themselves
free
Let those who would build 'slghhouse in the skies"
See towering above it a "reegraph" rise.
liark brothers bark! how the Echo replies
Echo Lies.
MAJOR Moan.
That Echo, it's plain, has been nursed in tho lap
Of corruption, and fed upon Treasury pap.
Ten to one it could tell us of many tale
OF swapping Of bosses and bargain and sale -
But where is the Hero, wont be afraid
For what have done;-All the jokes have made
For miserable puns and truisms written;
For foes have praised, and friends have bitten;
For riot at IcmmGny, got up one night;
For whip or my back; for refusing to fight;
For many brol and many stew;
For nickname to Charles-a cud he cant chew.
Echo Jew,
Grand fnale by the three voices
Shout brothers shout, all our doings declare
Till the peoples loud voice 6nis tongues in the air
Shout brothers shout, till we loosen these stones,
And this echoins Dome with our melody groans.

He was waited upon, in the course Of the eve

talents, and eminen, public and private virtues.
The late melancholy event in Mr. Adams
family, together with his love OF quiet and re-

Noiwiths anding the great and natural excite.
ment produced by the melancholy event on
hoard the steam ship Fulton, and the conse
puent difficulty ofsscer,ainng the precise facts,
we find on further inquiry, that the statements
in Yesterdays paper were, with two or three
trihinR exceptions, perfectly accurate. We
again visited the Navy Yard yesterday for the
purpose OF obtaining additional In Information re-.
lstve TO this heart-rending affair, the result OF
which we now communicate TO our readers.
h. II appears by the Muster Roll oFtbe shin that
the total number of persons, including Off GERS
attached 10 her nj the time Of the accident was
one hundred and sixty six, and after n careful
examination il has been ascertained that log
are accounted for there are only six now mis-
sing IN this number, Williams the gunner.
whose death was mentioned yesterday, 10 inclu.
ded we have not. however, been enabled TO
learn the names Of the other Eve, except a ma.
rine named Carr.
We regret TO learn that several the wound
ed are in very precarious situation, among
whom is Lien, Plat, of whose recovery there
is very little hope. The s'uafion of Mrs Brack.
euridge is also such as to weaken the hopes OF
her lends in the final restoration TO health.
| Our latest accounts from Midshipman Eek ford
are not very favorable, although his recovery
is not at present. at all doubtful. The situation
of Mr.. Ciough, Sailing Master, Is considered
critical, as is also thar Of The men in the Hos
pital. The other officers and men are doing
well.
