Underneath this marble cold,
Lies u lair girl turned To mould
One whose life was like N star,
without toll or rest 10 mar
Its divinest harmony,
Its goh-glyen serenity.
One, whose form OF youthful grace,
Ons, whose clnquence oiiare,
Matched the rnrest gem OF thnighi,
By the antique sculptors wrought
Yet her ou ward charms were less
Than hrr winning geutleness-
Her maiden parity Of heart,
Which, without the aid of art,
Did IN coolest hearts inspire
Love, that was not all desire.
Spirit forms with starry eyes,
That seem to come from Pm adiso,
Being of ethereal birth,
Near us glide sometimes on earth,
Like elimDi'ring Inoonbeams dimly seen
Glancing down through alleys green;
or such was she who lies benenth
This silent eiligy Of grirL
Wo is me when ! recall
One sweet word by her let fali-
One sweet word but half eNpress'd-
Dovncnst eyes told all the rest,
To think beneath this marble cold,
Lies that fair girl turned to mould.

al Of the Winnebagoes He has written Gov.
Dodge requesting him to raise two or three COM
panies of mounted volunteers to assist him in
collecting the Indians. No difficulty is appre
hended, rs the Indians will undoubtedly quietly
submit to the directions of the Government
agents.
In relation TO this subject the Louisville Jour
nal says eve learn from General Atkinson,
that in consequence of the refusal Of the Win
nebagoes to remove agreeably to the terms Of
their treaty with the u. S. Government, he has
received orders from the War Department to
remove them at all hazards. He will forthwith
cali into active service the necessary number of
troops and repair 10 the present locality Of the
tribe. We have no doubt he will execute with
wisdom and energy the important trust confded
to him. We know that he will if possible spare
the effusion of blood"
The New York American adds, that Col
Worth, with his whole regiment, 18th Infantry
is under orders for the Winnebago country, and
that portion Of the 4th Regiment Of Artillery
is also ordered TO the same region. The sth is
now AT Sackett's Harbor.
