our independence, the prostration of TYRANNY bv

extrayagant demonstrations of joy. Ringing those
bells, which ought not to be heard, but on more
sacred occasions; Illuminating public buildings;

general thanksgiving. Can any rational man, any
lover OF liberty, reflect upon such conduct without

HURRIcANE.-It is stated that on the 26th ultimo,
a hurricane destroyed the Town of Cassilda, (har-
Dor of Trinidad) except two buildings; every ves-
sci in the port was lost and the waters rushed from
the mountains in torrents, sweeping off thousands
of cattle, buildings, &c. The coast for four or FIVE
miles was strewed with wrecks; twenty or thirty
lives were lost, and many have since died of their
wounds. Trinidad is seaport of Cuba, in bay

we desire to call the attention of the public, to
matter OF deep interest to the citizens of our State
An Act to "amend the charter of the Louisville
Cincinnati and Charleston Rail Road COMPANY. {,
was passed by our last General Assembly. AT the
same time, Banking privileges were granted to the
Company, in separate Act.
In the former Act, it is Prorided "That the
Sau Road shall pass up the Valley of the French
Broad River, and cross the Blue Ridge, into Ruth
erford county, North Carolina.n The Act also
says-"That it shall be lawful and pomer is herebv
given to North-Carolina, any Company ineorpo-
rated by her authority, join the said Road in anu
Of the States, where the said Rail Road shall be
constructed under this Charter"
Now, unless South Carolina re-enacts this lap.
these sections, granting the privileges to ~ Carol
ma are dead letter. They are not made conditions
on which the Banking privileges were granted BY
our Legislature to said Company; these privileges
were granted by separate Act No Resolution
was passed, directing the Governor to ask those
rights from South Carolina. But, COL Memm;nge
is member of the South Carolina Legislature. and
surely will not neglect to bring this subject before
that body. 1t is the right of th-Carolina ard it
IS the duty OF COL Memminger, to have this mat
ter settled by law of South Carolina.

The morning Sun shone brightly upon
the cliii-built towers of Toledo, when King
Rndcrick issued out of the gate Of ihe city,
at the head Of numerous train Of conriiers
and cavaliers, and crossed the bridge that
crosscs the deep and rocky bed of tie Ia

King Roderick end his courtiers arrived,
wondering and amused at the fqt of the
rock. Here was a narrow arch way cut
through the living stone, thc only entrance
to the tower. 1t was close by a massive
iron gate, covered with rusty locks Of d.
vers workmanship, and in The fashion of
different centuries, which had been ailixed
nv the predecessors OF Don Rodcrick. On
either side of the portal stood the two an
cient guardians Of the tower, laden with
the keys appertaining to their locks.
The knight aTigh'cd, and approaching
the portals, ordered the guardians to unlock
The gate. The hoary men drew back with
terror sAlisr cried they, what is it your

sTANzAs TO A SISTER.

BY LORD BYRoN.
Though the day of my destiny IS DER,
And the star of my fate hath declined,
Thy soft heart refused to discover
The faults which 50 many could find;
Though thy soul with my grief was acquainted,
II shrunk not to share il with me,
And the love which my spirit hath painted
1t never hath found but in tire.
Then when nature around me is smiling
The last smile which answers to niue,
| do not believe it bcgung,
Because it reminds me of thine;
And when winds are at war with the ocean,
And the breasts believed in with me,
II their pillows excited an emotion,
1t is that they bear me from thee
Though the rock of my last hope is shiyer'd,
And lis fragments are sunk in the wave,
Though feel that my soul is DELIVERED
To paint shall not be a slave.
There is many pang to pursue me:
They may crush,but they shall not contemn--
They may torture, but shah not subduo me-
'Tis Of THEE that thinlS-not of them.
Though human, thou did5t not deceive me,
Though woman, thcu did3t not forsake,
Though loved, thou forhorest TO grieye me,
Tho slanderel thon never eouldst shake
Though trusted, thou didst not disclaim mt
Though parted, it was not to CIV,
Though watchful, it was not to lniamo me,
Nor mute, that the world might heie
Yet blame not the word nor despisc it,
Nor lie war Of the many with one
Ifmy soul was not fitted to prize it,
Twas folly not sooner 20 shnn.
And if dearly that error hath cost me,
And more than once. could lurcsec,
have found that whatever il lost me,
Itcould not deprive me of thee
From thewrccb Of the past which hath perisl'd
Thus much, Mt loast may recall,
1t hath taught me that what | most CHERISHED
Deserved to be dearest Of ALL
In the desert fountain is springing,
In the wide waste there still is tree,
And bird in tho solitude singing,
Which speaks TO my spirit Of thee:
