The Legislature of Missouri have
been quite loyal in their choice Of
names for new counties, during the late
session. Two in the centre of clus-

Benton, johnson, Rioes and Polk.

The late winter has been felt with Sc
verify in Louisiana. The st. Francis
vile Journal says:
"The injury done to the State by the
severity of the frost, is incalculable.-
The sugar cane, plants and rattoons,
are nearly, if not entirely destroyed
and it is questionable whether the cul-
ture of the cane will not be entirely a.
bandoned. The orange, lime, and cit
ron groves are doubtless cut down.
The fig trees, and all delicate shrubbe>
ry, we fear, are greatly injured, while
our vegetable gardens are utterly laid
waste-cattle are dying every where a.
round US. Such are the effects Of this
frightful winter"
We take the following gratifying in
formation from the National Intelligencer
ofthe goth inst.
ANNAPOLIS, March 10.
Gentlemen A few days since l in,
formed you that bill had passed the
House Of Delegates Of Maryland, pro.
viding for loan to the Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal Company of two millions
of dollars. / have now the pleasure
of announcing to you, that the bill has
passed the Senate, by vote of9 to A,
and has become law.
Earthquake at Guatema1d.-Capt.
King, ofthe schooner Despatch, arriv-
ed at New York from Omoa, states that
towards the close Of January, severe
shocks of earthquakes were felt at that
place and vicinity for four or five days
in succession. The noise was like the
firing of heavy cannon. Ashes fell on
the deck Of the Despatch to the depth
of quarter of an inch. Capt. King
was informed at Omoa that an Indian
village about so miles in the interior
had been destroyed, with all the inhab-
itants, except four, who were at the
time on the mountains. We think this
will explain the phenomenon of ashes
falling at Jamaica. AT any rate. the
time is coincident.
WASHINGTON, March 10.
In speaking Of the trouble between
OHIo and MICHIGAN, we remarked, on
Tuesday, that blame would rest upon
the House of Representatives of the U.
nited States on that score, for having
left unacted-upon bill to establish the
boundary between that State and that
Territory. 1t seems proper to state
hat we had, in saying this, no refer.
ence to the merits of the bill which
passed the Senate on this subject--of
which in truth xva know nothinc- b,,

TO THE SOUTH WIND.
BY cHARLEs LAMB.

Q southern wind! Long hast thou lnger'd midst those islands fair Which lie, like jewels, on the Indian deep, Or green waves all asleep, Fed by the summer suns or azure air D sweetest southern wind! Wilt thou not unbind Thy dark and crowned hair! s Wiltthou not unloose now In this--the blnestof all hours, \ Thy pass ion eolorea flowers; And shaking the fine fragrance from thy
 brow,
 Kiss our girls langhinag lips and youthful
 eyes, And all that world of love which lowerlies Breathing, and warm, and white -purer than
 snoW 0 thon sweet southern wind! I Come to me and unbind ] The languid blossoms which oppress thy brow. $ We, whom the northern blast
 Blows on from night till morn, from morn till
 eve,
 Hearing thee, sometimes, grieve. That our brief summer days not long must
 last;
 And yet, perhaps, 'twere we'll We should not ever dwell
 With thee, sweet spirit of the sunny south, But touch thy odorous mouth
 t,nce--and he gone unto cur blasts again And their bleak welcome, and our wintry @ snow;
 And arm us toy enduring for that pain
 Which the bad world sends forth, and all it's Z woe.

By-MRs. REMAINS.

ByMRs. REMAINS. Thou art sounding on. thou mighty Sea. For ever, and the same! The ancient rocks yet ring to thee, Whose thunders napght can tame. Oh many a glorious voice is gone From the rich bowers #ofsearth, And hushed is inaffy | lovely one Of mournfulness or mirth. The Dorian flute, that sighed of yore Along thy wave, is still; The harp of Judah peals no more On Zion's awful hill And Memnon's too, hath lost the chord That breathed the mystic tone, And the songs at Rome high triumphs pour'd A re with her eagles flown. And mute the Moorish horn that rang Ger stream and mountain free, And the hymn the learned Crusaders sang Hath died in Galilee: But thou art swelling on, thou Deep, Through many an olden cline, Thy bflle#y anthem it CT to sleep Until the close of time. Thou liftest up thy solemn voice To every wind and sky, And all our Earth's green shores rejoice In that one harmony. It fills the noontide's calm profound, The sunset's heaven of gold; And the still midnight hears the sound Even as when first 1t rolled. Let there be silence deep and strange, Where crowning cities rose! Thou sneak ast of. one that doth not ehanCe- So may our hearts repose.

 His worship, who, when the dignity of office did not interfere, had really kind and compassionate heart in his bosom, loot- ed at mine host with a glstening eye, for he diYined bis meaning, and secretly lauded it. It was not for him however, sitting in. the chair of justice, and sworn to adminis- ter il imparlially, to pfopound an escape for the prisoner: but he very significantly point ed out how it might be done5 while proper ly depreeating such 3 course. peyerell, comprehending his humane intention, by Il. timely hint to mine host, enabled him to withdraw the charge, which he instantly did, to the satisfaction of all present.

There are birds in the woodland bowers,
 Voices in lonely dells, And streams that talk to the listening hours In earth s most secret cells; There is life on the foam-decked sand,
 By the ocean g curling lip, And life on the still lake $ strand
 Mid the flowers that o'er it dip; There is life in the rocking pines
 That sigh on the mountains crest, And life in the courser mane that shines As he SCOUTS the deserts breast. But go to the crowded mart,
 Mid the busy haunts of men; Go there and ask thyeheaft,
 What answer makes 1t then2 Ay! go where wealth is ringing Her golden lures around, Where the trump of fame is ringings
 Where pleasures wiles abound; Golf thou wouldst be lonely
 Where the phantom Love is woaed, And own that tnere-there only
 Mid crowds is Solitude.

Aackerel, ot which we have some III tho Chesapeake, though by far the most of tliam come from the waters contiguous 10 New England, arc fish from very great dis tance the Black Sea. This appears from the following extract from Commodore Por- ter's Letters from Constantinople.
 MAcHERRL IN THE pospHoRus.- is the season Feb. 12, for catching mack erel here. They come down from the Black Sea in immense shoals; and thou sands, ny tens of thousands5 of boats come at the same moment into the Bosphorus, employed in taking them in seinea and oil 'netss The quantity taken and sold every day would appear incredible. They arc from five to six iAches in length, and no- thing can be nrere delicate than they are. By the lime they get to Gibraltar they arc half grown, and full grown when thev ar- rive on the coast of America, three or four months hence.
 The Black Sea appears to be inc great nursery for the raackerel, as we'll as the ;sa- lemedes, IS they are edherc, or the tun- ny fish as they are called when full grown. and caught on the coasts of Sicily, Italy, and Spain. Myriads of these are taken dil- ring the few weeks of their running. They are generally from foot to I8 inches long, and an excellent kind of fish for boiling.-- Indeed there is no place so abundant in fish as the Bosphorns, and there IS no place where so many are taken. From the win dows aud doors of most of tho houses situ- ated or this beautiful canal, they take fish with lines; and in the fine, calm, and beau- tiful summer mornings, the bay of Buyuc- dere may be seen swarniiI,g with kaicks filled with ladies and gentlemen of the lega- ton, and with those of the Frank families. and Armenians, and Greeks, engaged in the diversion of fishing. 1t, in fact. makes the principal one ofthe few amusements of the country.
 '.The large fishing boats which are en- ployed for taking the mackerel and paleme- des are generally fifty feet in length, narrow. and sharp al both ends, and are of the best construction for velocity. They are rowed by eighteen active young Greeks. who make them fly through the water; and there can be. no scene more annating than to see half a dozen of those boats approach the quay on their return from their fishing ex- cursionss laden with the fish which they have taken at q single haul of their seincs. They pull with a strength, quickness, and regularity which is truly surprising, and tho stroke of their oars in he water produces a most singular noise, which may be heard for more than nlile,n

Ne learn from one of the Tennessee pa- pers, that while Col Crockett, few days ago, was addressing the people in Wesley. pert political opponent, with the view of conlounding him, handed him coon skin asking him if it vas good fur. The speak CT, instead of flying into passion, deliber- ately took the skin, blew #, examined ii. and turning to the owner, dryly remarked: "No, sir, lis not good fur; my dogs wouldn't run such coon, nor bark at a man that was fool enough to carry such a skin." The poor fellow slunk away, and has not been heard of since.

Not in the shadowy wood, Not in the rock-fibbed glen, Not where the sleeping echoes brood In caves untried by men; Not by the sea swept shore Where loitering surges break, Not on the mountain hoar, Nor by the breezeless lake, Not on the desert plain, Where man hath never stood; Whether oil isle or main Not there Is Solitude!
