OF The EagineerS.--We had the plea.
sure on Saturday evening last, says the Knoxville
Register,) of conversing with Capt. Williams, of
tho Corps Of Engineers now engaged in making
a survey and reconnaissance of the route OF the
Louisville, Cincinnati, and Charleston Rail Road.
Capt Williams lrtt two of the Engineers North
Of Cumberland Gap making survey OF that pass
he was himself returning TO Flat Rock, where
the Engineers were to assemble on the both uIt.-
He informed us that some of the Engineers were
also engaged in the examination Of the route thro'
Rabun County, Ga, and down the Tennessee RI.
yer. We highly gratiied to hear Capt Will
lisms speak with confidence of tho entire practl.
eabillty Of this important improvement.

IrWe have heard Il 2aid BY Van Pu.
Een man, that the principle by which the Wing
party is ac,uated, is desire of Office. Poor delu.
ded men how strangely they 90 10 work to obtain
such end-when the ayowed principIe of The
Van Buren, party is that the spoils belong TO the
'iclors when that same party say Mr.. Van Blu.
rem will be elected, how foolish are we poor whigs
whose only object is Office in opposing him--more
particularly faulty are We, when every thing a.
round assures us that the "yilest sinner NAV re-
turn that eleventh hour men are more certain
Of success, even than the original friends Of the
party Are we asked for examples Was the
present Governor an original jackson man No
ihe Van Buren, Senator in Congress, Bedford
Brown No. The electoral candidate on the Van
Buren, ticket, for this District? No. The leaders
OF The Van Buren, party in this county with one
exception No. We advise then all wings if any
such there be, whose principle of action is de.
sire Of office TO Join the Van Buren, ranks for the
Wing party can hold out nothing to its advocates
but honesty OF purpose, love Of country, connec-
ted las The Van Buren, men say with ultimate de-
feat. Let 1t be so-we would sooner be dog
and bay the Moon" than sacrifice what we believe
to be correct principle, for the paltry reward of
an otfee-holder; aud IN the language OF the cele-
brated Reed, when bride was offered him at the
cost Of his country and principles, we would say,
though poor, tery poor the Government is not
able to purchase US"
The Wing Party olhce,seekers Such a charge
can only be made, under the circumstances in the
vain hope Of rebuttng one Of similar character,
in which We fear there is too much truth.

IT'S SWEET.

IT'S sweet when life's expressing cares
Weigh down our troubled souls,
when disappointment draws our tears,
And all the world is cold.
Tothink of childhood's sunny hours,
When nought but joy appeared,
And pleasure strew'd our path with flow.
In virtues garden reared.
'T'is sweet, when in some foreign land,
Far from our friends and home,
Where none extend the friendly hand,
Nor bid the weary come
To, think how soon we shall enjoy
The circle round our hearth,
Where nought, that pleasure can alloy,
Shall damp our social mirth.
'Tis sweet, meath ages with'ring power
And sickness scourge oppressed,
TO look with pleasure on the hour
When we shall be at rest.
But oh! It's good. when death draws nigh
And earthly ties are riven,
To look to our bright home on high,
And rest our hope in Heave
