THE CAPTIVE GIRL.

Bright is the day and the sun is high,
And should love the CLEAN,
But my tongue is parch'd and my lips are dry
Beneath his sultry beam;
For here no cool refreshing shade
Invites, nordashing water;
And if they did, they were not made
For Afric's sable daughter.
Iloved it once, when every thought
Was like its ray in brightness,
When every hour with bliss was fraught,
And every step was lightness;
Then often when his beam was warm
Yelled from the heat I'd lie,
And watch beneath the spreading palm
His progress through the sky.
Or we would 60, virgin band,
Our scorched feet to lave,
And wander on the golden sand
Beside the limpid wave;
And we would Irvine the may dance
In evenings placid hours,
While passing Time would gaily glance
At those dear native bowers.
En- Age itself would pause awhile
To view our merry play;
All then the loved parental smile
Chas'd all our cares away:
Oh Father! Mother at those Games
How my heart trembles still,
For though it's broken, still 1t claims
Affections gentle thrill
Past are these scenes,-yet on my mind
A trace their memory leaves,
Like mournful music on the wind
That the wild air-harp breathes
Or like the autumn foliage sere.
Which, when no verdure's found,
Sheds on the tasty fading year
A whitening glory round.
The sun sends down burning food
Upon these shadeless plains
feel the hot and fevered blood
Rushing in all my veins:
Ises my mothers reckoning hand,
She chides my longer stay,
And calls me from this cruel land
To blissful bowers away.
come come her eye grew bright,
She sunk upon the sod,
And her unclaimed spirit took its flight
To her Maker and her God! H. G. C..

war Ontario in the Gulf and also to the Sec
retary of State at Washington, Of The block
ade Of all the Mexican ports by France
This measure has been resorted to, in conse
quence Of tho rejection ofthe French ultima
t,un by Mexico. Ncutrals are TO be warne,
of, and afterwards not TO be molested, unless
they attempt to enter after having been dul.
warned, and such notification has been reg
istcrcd on their papers. Neutrals have also
liberty to depart from Mexican ports, within
fifteen days after notice Of the blockade
The French blockoding squadron consists
of one Jgnte and five brigs.
The ports of Vera Cruz and Tampico viii
remain entirely free for the entrance and de-
pariure Of the British post Office, military an,

STILL ANOTHER STEAMBOAT
ACCIDENT.

EXPLOSION OF THE ORoNoKo.-The
steamboat Oronoko, Capt John Craw-
ford, from Princeton, Miss. to New Or
leans. burst one Of her boilers soon af-
ter leaving Princeton on Saturday the
!2lst ult. at about 5 p. NJ, by which it
is computed that from SEVENTY to NINE
TY lives were lost. The following par
ticulars concerning this explosion show
it to have been much more fatal to life
than first reported, and produced by
exactly the same criminal negligence,
or reckless hardihood, as in the case of
the Moselle
Mr.. F'irman, of Washington, (Ky.)
was cabin passenger OH board the
Oronoco at the time OF the accident
From him we learn that there were
about eighty passengers in the cabin,
and upwards of one hundred OH the
deck.
The boat had stopped to take in three
passengers-a gentleman and his two
sisters and, while lying to for this
purpose, which was at least fifteen mi
nutcs, there WAS NO STEAM BLOWN OFF !!
MIR. f. was the only cabin passenger
up at the time, and had just returned to
his state room from the boiler deck, when
the explosion took place, which was i'm
mediately after the boat had put out,
and within fifty or sixty yards of the
right hand shore, ascending the river.
Our informant says that he is confident
there were from forty to sixty persons
thrown into the river: Of this number,
only ONE, with b~kcn leg, reached
the shore.
The deck was covered with the dead
and dying and he is confident that the
number OF lives lost is not less than from
SEVENTY to NINETY, and he supposes
much larger.

DESTRUCTION OF THE MOSELLE.

The explosion was witnessed by many
persons, on both shores; but great difference
of opinion prevails relative to the immediate
cause. We suppose the most rational cause
to be, simply, that she had too high steam.
We witnessed the wreck soon after, and
found it more complete in all its features
than our ina gnation could have conceived
The fore part of the vessel was splintered
and twisted in every timber, in way similar
to that of a tree struck by lightning-Thc
boat drited down little distance and sunk.
| One who was on board, and escaped, says
that an engineer who landed, cried out to
those on board, that they had too much steam,
and must look out or they would blow up
On which he and lis companions walked to
the stern, on the hurricane deck, and i'm
mediately the explosion took plucc-thcy es.
Gaping. He went to the ladies' cabin and
found every thing in confusion; but in the
midst Of all, two Of the ladies' were, with cool
fortitude, laborng to assist the rest.
| But the wreck of the boat, and the escape
of those who have neither lost life nor friends
are nothing, compared with the touching
scenes in which are seen the wounded-the
dying-and the discovered friends. Here
was father, who lay partially deranged with
scalded child on onosde, dead daughter
upon another, and wounded wife at his feet
One man had saved son, and lost wife
and FIVE children ;-othcrs bad lost their
whole families. One gentleman was wound
ed, and was seeking his wife and children
happily, on the other side Of the crowd, his
vile and children were seeking him, and they
were thus reunited.
OF those in the ladies' cabin, it is thought
most have escaped. Most of the hands, and
ofthe deck passengers, must have been killed
For this sad result we, in part, take blame
We plead guilty, in common with other
presses, to having praised the speed and
power Of the boat--a circumstance which
doubtless contributed to initiate the ambition
Of its captain and owners, to excel others in
rapdity. We feel confident, that If the pub
lie are to have any security against steam
boat accidents, the press must change its
tone. Boats must be praised for their com
fort, convenience, and the care and discretion
oftheir ommandors-but not for their speed
They will always have es much speed as
their machinery will bear, without the aid OF
foreign excitement. Safety is better than
speed.

The Explosion Of the .,ioselie,-The Cin'
cinnat papers give some further particulars
of the dreadful havoc made by this explo'
sor Ninety-six persons are ascertalned TO
have been saved from the boat, list OF whom
is published. The number lost is supposed
to be Is4. But on this point there is some
discrepancy, one Of the clerks saved being
confident that the number of passengers did
not exceed 200, and the crew consisting Of
30 persons. According to this computation,
the number lost must be about l34. Mr..
Nathaniel Tead, of Worcester, who was re-
ported to he badly hurt, escaped uninjured,
though Col. Fowlc, of the U. s. Army, who
stood by him, was either killed or drowned.
The Common Council of Cincinnati had ap-
pointed committee with full powers to al
ford immediate relief, at the expense OF the
city, to all the sufferers who stood in need
of it. Orders had been passed for funeral
procession, at which the members Of the City
Council and others would attend in their ofh-
cial capacities. The stores and chops were
to be closed on the occasion. Many OF the
bodies were still missing.

WHIG OMINATION
FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
HENR Y CL A Y,
OF Kentucky.

The following article from the Bos-
ton Gazette, ip relation to the triumph
ant march Of Wing principles, is just
such an article as we had ourselves sat
down to write, in our own arm chair
It is exactly what we wanted, and wo
copy il without alteration or amend
mcnt.
THE WHIGPARTY TRIUMPHANT
"We have this day the satisfaction to
announce that the Wing party is tri-
umphant in Albany. The Van Buren
party are completely routed at the head
quarters of the Regency. The people
are opposed to them, and they are put
down in every Ward. The State of
New York is no longer attached to the
fortunes of Martin Van Buren.
We have also sufficient returns from
Virginia, to prove that the old domin-
ion is opposed to the administration
The Washington Globe gives up the
State as lost, and attributes the revolu-
ton to the influence of the Bank. 1t
is of little consequence what has effect
cd the change. 1t is sufficient to know
that the Sub-Treasury scheme, and
other measures of the administration
are disapprovcd of, not only by the
Wings of Virginia, but by majority Of
the people every where. The whole
country has undergone a thorough
change of sentiment. 1t is no longer
necessary to give details. The people
have risen up en- masse, and demanded
a reform, in terms that cannot be mis-
understood If an election for Presi-
dent should take place tomorrow, Mr..
Van Buren would scarcely receive tho
vote of a single State in the Union, with
the exception perhaps Of New Hamp-
shire. His party has been entirely bro
ken up, and scattered to the Winds
So sudden and thorough change, has
not its parallel in the annals ofthe coun-
try. The dismembermcnt Of the ad-
ministration party has been like the
breaking up of the ice in the Spring
Its scattered fragments have been swept
away, before the irresistible current Of
public opinion, and they are fast dis
solving into their original elements. In
short, the whole country has become
thoroughly Wing, and the people are
anxiously waiting for an opportunity to
erect a Wing administration, on the
ruins of one, which has proved unfaith-
full to. is trust, and regardless ofthe in
!eres.s Of the people"

,,THE VIRGINIA ELEcTIoN.-An intel
ligent and highly respectable cores
pondcnt in Lynchburg, Virginia, writes
us as follows in reference to the recent
glorious triumph Of the Wings in that
State.
"CLEAR THE COAST
GOLD VIRGINIA is A COMING !
Before you receive my letter, friend
Atkinson, you will probably have been
rcgaled by a gentle breeze from the
cold Dominion" waiting to the patri-
otic Wings Of Rhodc-lsland the soul
cheering and probably the unexpected
intelligence, that one more State, even
Democratic Virginia, has kicked in
the traces, broken loose from the Ad-
ministration, and now stands by the side
of other States that recently like her
supported the administration, "redeem-
ed, regenerated and dsenthralled. -
Will you not say 900 guns" for the
supposed strong hold ofthe dcstructivesl
Gone, clean gone, and forever gone.
This is permanent Whig triumph, tho
old Richmond Prophet II. r. to tho
contrary Notwithstanding. King Ritch-
ie gives up beat for this year, but limits
our term of ascendancy to one year. l
am no prophet, but Mr.. Ritchie is mis-
taken. He allows us 10 or l2 majority
already, and admits probable increase,
but says a short twelve month passed
and "re-action" will bring the Tories
up again. This is his consolation for
his chagrined party. Time will show
who judges Alright. The causes which
have operated to produce the change
will continue to operate, until more and
more still Of the misguided people como
to see the source from whence their
sufferings have proceeded, and "re-ac-
tion" be next to impossible, except il
be a New-York reaction. Mark tho
prophecy, sir, tho change in Virginia
will be permanent. This revolution
like the wheels Of time, will hardly roll
backwards. The well known fact that
many here have this year changed from
Tories to Wings, will embolden others
who are hating and did not vote at sll,
to "toc the mark" and come to the res
cue next year. Pride has kept many
back.-Mcn dislike TO own their errors,
!. C. to give up their party, even when
they feel satisfied il is wrong. Our for
mcr Mayor remarked OF Election day,
that he had run will, "the party" ono

BsEoUIEs OF THE DEAD.

The mournful duty OF committing 10 'he
grave the unfortunate sufferers in the des-
truction of the steamboat Moselle was per-
formed in Cincinnati on Saturday afternoon,
April 25th, associated with solemn funeral
service upon account of all the sufferers
We copy the following painfully interesting
particulars from the Cincinnati, Ohio, ia
zette: -
As the calamity was peculiar and trans,
cendant in its horrors so were the funeral
obsequies solemn and imposing beyond any
thing that has ever taken place IN this city
At three o'clock, upon the first toll OF the
bell, every place Of business was closed. II
is believed there was no exception. Appa-
rently the whole city was moving mass u
the foot of Broadway, where the procession
was forming. This was accomplished ac'
cording to previous regulations. The de-
ceased, enclosed in proper collins. were pla'
ced in the hearses OF tho city, which not be-
ing sufficient to convey them, the necessary
number of carriages were added. When the
proc ession was prepared to move, Broadway
to Fourth street, and the contiguous ap'
proaches of the intersecting streets were
literally choked with one crowded jam OF hu
man beings. Among all these, no word was
spoken, no look oflevity was INDUCED. Ihe
universal feeling was too deep for any suci
sensation to be felt.
The progress of the procession, so vast II
numbers, so solemn in manner, made ever!
where on its line Of movement the deepes
impression. Sad and sorrowful faces, hun
drcds of them bedewed with tears, crowded
to windows, doors, and all places OF observa
ton.
The interment took place in the public
burial ground, and at this last act OF respcc
and kindness, that can be performed by tho
living, for the dead, some most touching
scenes occurred. Those to be deposited II
their last earthly rest were all Strangers
Some of them were members OF the same
family, and in one or two instances surviving
relatives were present. One mother, Ger
man, whose husband is among the lost, cas-
herself upon the coffin of her only two chill
dren, in agonies seldom witnessed. But w
must omit a detail Of these scenes.
Il The impressive funeral service 1.-THE Epls
/ copa Church was read by the Rev. Mr.
II Brooks, and brief but most pertinent ant
| affecting address made by the Rev. MIR. SO
hon OF the Methodist Episcopal Church.
\ Our narration here ends, and we presume
/ not to break its effect with any reflections.

II CouNTRRrEIr TREAsURY NoTEs.-Out
/ city is full of rumors Of counterfeit Treasury
notes. II appears that instead OF having the
Il amount for which the notes were to be is5u-
II ed, printed on the face of the note, 1t has
/ been the habit o! late to have the notes print
ed in blank, and the amount filled up as the
wants Of the department required. Some
have been issued for sums as low as fifty
dollars and sixteen cents. On Friday last, a
note filed up for four thousand dollars, was
taken by the Farmers and Planters Bank,
wliah. upon close examination, proved to be
n counterfeit Great doubt seems TO prevail
whether the plate on which the note was
printed was genuine or not. The better
opinion isahat the plate Is genuine, but that
| the blank sheets were stolen from the Trea-
sury department, aud filed up. The man
who passed the note off on the Farmers
and Planters Bank, Immediately changed
the money received at that bank for Virginia
paper, and, it is supposed, left the city the
same evening-Bait. Cltron.
Arrest Of the Counterfeiicr.-We learn
from gentleman who returned from Wash
inoton last night, that the person who passed
off the above described Treasury Note to
the farmers and Planters Bank, was nr-
rested Yesterday at Washington. A con-
| side rabe portion Of the money was found on
| him.

| we'd to make his escape, but was pursued aud
