LAND PlRATEs.--" A gentleman who arrived
at New York few days since in the brig Law
renee, from Charleston, informs the editor ofthc
Railway Advocate that at 10 o'clock, at night.
they Judged from their sounding that they were
of Barnegat; bat at halt past A. M. a light
was discovered, which appeared TO be the re-
volving light OF the highlands; this led the Capt.
10 believe they had made mistake in sounding T;
accordingly he steered 10 westward, but fortu.
nately there was but gentle breeze, and that
not very favorable so that the vessel did not
make much progress before day, when il was d =
covered that the light proceeded from fl re ON
Squam Beach, evidently for the purpose of dc
coylng vessels on shore. They immediately
tackled ship and stood off. " Our informant has
several years been extensively engaged in South
ern business, during which time he has made
! frequent visits 10 the south, and he stated that
these nefarious transactions have been carried 10
such an alarming extent for years past, that the
name Of JeTsegman, Of which we have been SO
proud and which from infancy we have been
taught TO admire and reverence so far from
connecting with il all that was honorable, has
4 become a reproach among the mariners and other
persons engaged in doing business along our
| coast, and brings with il all the horrid feeling
and associations of Algaines and Pirates .-Ne,e-

PEDEGREE.

VOLCANO was got by Stockhofder, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid by Ratray, of whom Mir. J. C. Beasiey said, she was the best nag of her size lie had ever seen, and that she wass friend to poor man in strange country after losing on all his other horses, he could, with confd ence, bet his last dollar on her whenever sine started for four mile heat. His grandam was the equally celebrated mare Maid -of-the- Oaks by imported Spread Eagle, one of the best four mile nags Of her day in Virginia, his g. grandam, which was also the dam of Nancy Air, was by im- ported Shark, g. g. g. dam by Rockingham, g.g. g. g. dam by Gallant, g. g. g. g.g dam by True Whig, g. g. g. g. g. g. dam by Regulus.
 Of Stochhofeer, VGbCANO'S sire, 1t IS unnecessary to say aught; he is too well known as racer and stallion, to require the prop of a long pedigree. It may not be amiss, however. to state, that be was got by old sir Arehy, and his dam by I'm ported Citizen, the best blood that A meri- ca can boast. Ratray, the sire of Yolca- nos dam, was by the imported horse Cliff den; his dam by Fitzpartner; his grandam Araminna, who was got by Brimmer out of Mr. Peyton Randolph's celebrated
 
 Imported Spread Eagle, was got by Vol unteer, his dam by High Flyer, grandam by Engineer, out of the dam of Bay Nal t3n and Treasurer; she was got by Cade, out of the Lass of the Mill, by Old Ira. weller.
 Spread Eagle is unpopular with many sportsmen; but l would ask, what horse has d better pedigree ,and what imported horse has got as many capital racers If Is enough to say, that Spread Eagle was the sire of the Maid-of-the Oaks, Paragon, Ad- cline, Red-Eye, and Eleden's Florctta; all winners of severe four mile races, con tending with the best horses of Virginia. Floretta made better time over the Wash- ington course than was ever made before or since, beating. in Three heats, Top Gal- lant, Oscar, First Consul, and another; running each heat under eight minutes, and the second heat in seven minutes and ffty-two seconds.

 POETRY \.
Fron. the NortA .amerie4n .Maga-ine. TO THE ROCKING BIRD.


 From the .NortA .saorie4a Magazine. TO THE ROCKING BIRD. Thou rloroas mocker of the worldl-I hear Thy many voices ringing through the gooms Of these green solitudes-and ell the clear Bright toynBce of their song enthrails the And floods the heart. Over the sphered tombs Of vanished nations rolls thy music tide. No light from History stariike page iliumes The memory of those nations-they have died. None cares for them but thon-and thou mayst sing, Perhaps, oef nie, thy voice doth ring Over their bones by whom thou once vast heifed. Thou scorner of all citiesl thou dost leave The worlds turmoil and never eeasing din, Where one from others wo existence weayes, Where the old sigts the vunng grieves, Where misery gnaws the maiden's heart within: And thou dost flee into the broad green woods, And with thy soul of music thou dost win Their heart to harmony--no jar inrrudes Upon thy sounding melody. Oh, where, Amid the sweet musicians Of the air Is one so dear as thee to these old soltudes2 Ha! what q burst tlat the Eoan strain Goes floating through the tangled passages Ofthe lone woods-and now it comes again A muttudinous melody--like rain
 Of glassy music under echoing frees, Over ringing lake: ii wraps the soul With bright harmony of happiness Even gem is wrapt, when round it roll Thin waves of brilliant fame--n we become, Even with the excess of onr deep pleasure, dumb, And pant like swift runner cnging to the goal. cannot love the who doth not love {Even as men love light,) the song of birds; For the first visions that my boyhood wove, To fill it's sleep with, were that did rove Amid the woods--what time the snowy herds Of morning cloud fled from the rising Into the depths of heavens heart, as words That from the Poets tongue do fall upon And vanish in the human heart; and then l reyeIled in those songs, and sorrowed when With noonheat overwroug the muscs burst was done. would, sweet birdl that might live with thee, Amid the eloquent grandeur of the shades, Alone with nature-but il may not be; l have to struggle with the tnmbling Of human fife, until existence fades Into deaths darkness. Thou wilt sing and soar Thro the thick woods and shadow cheauered glade, While nought of sorrow casts dimness o'er The briiance of thy heart-but must wear, As now, my garmenting ofpan and eare- Aspenitents of old their galling snckcoth wore Yet why complain? What though fond hopes deferred Have overshadowed Youths green path with gloom! Still, joys rich music is not all nnheard-- There is voice sweeter than tne sweet hrd To welcome me within my humble home There is eye with Loves devotion bright, The darkness of existence 10 illumei Then why complain? When death shall cast his blight Over the Spirit, then my homes shaIi rest Beneath these trees-and from thy swelling breast Der them thy song shall pour like rich flood of light
