Should grace my garden bower.

To waste upon the desert air
Its fragrant rich perfume
And pluck'd il from its lowly bed.
Pale was the fower it hung its head,
And thus it sadly sighed;
"Why bear me from my quiet shade
Far more love the messy glade,
Than blooming garden bowers.
Retirement is so dear to me
My name itself, Simplicity
II gazed upon by every eye,
Soon should fade away and die;
could not bear the strangers gaze,
Much less his false and hai'ring praise.
Within thy bowers | ne'er can dwell,
Oh leave me in this quiet dell"

But bore il to my garden bower.
Paler /, grew from day TO day, and mournfuly II

AT length it bowed ITS tender head, il dropped, alas

Yet have kept the humble flower, and have pre-

And in its faded leaves, there breathes kind o
holy spell
Gently 1t whispers thus TO nae,

MIR. MOORE'S ADDRESS.

o. On the first page OF this paper,
will be found an address from MIR.
MOORE, on the subject OF the late ex.
traordinary circular of Capt. CRAIG, to
the voters of the Congressional district.
We presume the circular has been gen.
orally seen by our readers in the district,
having been extensively disseminated in
pamphlet form. But for this we should
have published it, though not requested
TO do so. That, indeed, was our inten-
ton. until we found from the numbers
IN circulation amongst us, we would
probably be doing an acceptable service
to no one by its publication.
We are authorized to say that MIR.
Moore will address the people of Au-
gusta, on the first day of the March
Court, and that he has invited Mr..
CRAIG TO meet him here at that time
An interesting discussion may be expect
ed and we hope as many of our fellow
citizens as cah, will attend. Unless the
time Of holding the elections be changed
this will probably be the only opportu-
nifty they will have of hearing the can
didates for Congress-
90 The Lexington Gazette, Fincas,Ie De-
mocrat, Lynchburg Virginian, and Rich
mond Wing and Enquirer, are requested to
publish Mr. aioore's address.

VALLEY ROAD.

Saturday last was day of some hustle
and excitement in our town, in conse-
quence Of the letting out of large por:
ton Of the Valley Road, and a contest
among our citizens about the location of
the section next to town. The contest
was finally settled by the Board of Dir
rectors in favour of the route between
the present Stage road aud the Iron
Works road. The Turnpike will con.
sequen,ly enter the town at the North
end of Augusta street. This location,
we understand. leaves the old road at
Mr.. BTyan's Tan Yard, seven miles be-
low Staunton, There were a consider.
able number of bidders in attendance
but the Board of Directors did not deem
it prudent to put the whole road under
contract. as the capital authorized is
found to be insufficient. Ten miles,
commencing in the ncighborhood of
Naked Creek and running down, were
accordingly withheld.-The thirty two
miles let cut on Saturday. we are in
formed, average $1,000 mile. The

CONGRESS-.

The last session OF the twenty fit h
Congress closed between 2 o'clock and
daylight Oh the morning Of the 9TH.
For forty eight hours the labours of the
two houses were almost incessant, du-
ring which time much Of the most i'm
portaDt business of the session was con-
summated. Besides the annual appro-
2riation bills, the acts OF general impor.
lance passed are remarkably few in mum,
berthe number Of private bills, how
ever, is very large. A bill was passed
on the last day of the session, clothing
the President ofthe United States with
extraordinary powers, to meet any e.
mergeucy which may arise out of the
controversy OIL the Maine border. The
law directs the President to resist an,
ate~Pt to maintain by force of arms, OH
The part OF Great Britain, exclusive ~.
rlsdIctIon over the disputed territory
and authorizes him to employ such por
tons OF the naval aud military forces of
the u. States, and such portions Of the
militia, as he may deem advisable. Ten
millions Of dollars are appropriated, and
placed at his dispos al, for this purpose.
An appropriation OFFS iS, 900 is also made
Tor the outfit and salary Of special min.
lister to Great Britain, if The Preside nj
shall deem it expedieDt to appoint one.

ments can agree on the real line, or upon

Iangement entered into between the
British Minister and our Government. al

it. We hope, however, that the Presi-

them that they are not to decide tn e
