SONG OF THE AMERICAN GIRL.

Our hearts are with our native land.
Our song is for her glory,
Her warriors wreath is in our hand.
OR lips breathe out her story,
Her lofty hills and valies green,
Are smiling bright before us,
And like rainbow sign is seen
Her proud flag waving DER US.
And there are smiles upon our lips
For those who NEE, her foemen,
For glory's star knows 10 eclipse
When smiled upon by women.
For those who brave the mighty deep
And scorn the threat of danger,
We've smiles 10 cheer-and tear, 10 weep,
For every ocean danger.
'Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her freedom;
'Our prayers for her gallant band
Who strike where honor leads them.
We love the taintless air we breathe,
'Tis freedoms endless dover,
Wen Irvine for him fadeless wreath
Who scorns ,yrant's power.
They tell OF Frances beauties rare, sssss
or ltaly's proud daughters;
'Of Scotlanil's asses-- England's fair,
And nymphs Of Shannon's waters.
We heed not alb their boosted charms,
Though lordsaroundIihem hover,
Our glory lies in fIecdoms's arms

THE MESSAGE.

We have given up large space TO the Mes
sage of the President of the United States,
which was communicated to both Houses OF
Congress, yesterday at l-2 o'clock.
Our impression, from cursory perusal is that,
Mr.. Van Buren, has determined TO retire with as
much dignity as is possible for him TO assume.
If the message had been addressed "to posteri-
ty" instead of TO the Senate and House OF
Representatives" we have no doubt it would
have indicated the wish paramount in the au-
thor's heart when he sat down to indite il. He
has mol alluded in the remotest manner TO the
recent demonstrations Of popular sentiment, TO
which, he was, not long ago, fond of recurring.
But he has sketched a general resume Of the
leading acts and doctrines of his Administration,
endeavoring to vindicate them, drawn his Pre-
sdential cloak around him, and SAT down, as in
different to the popular clamor, as the "Star TO
the passing cloud" and waits the approach of
the hour of his exit. If the second and third
sober thoughts of the people are not right, he
thinks nevertheless that their judgment is 'never
ultimately wrong"

THE JUBILEE DENOMINATION

The last brilliant night for our ancient city
The principal avenues presented scenes of the most
gorgeous splendor Nearly every store and dwelling
was illuminated. From the Cass farm to Hamtramck,
and from the river to the Grand Circus the town
cnveloped in blaze Of light.
Here and there dark spot, emblamatic of the
principles Of opponents but the extent of the lu
minaton, was sufficiently indicative Of the numbers
and power of the triumphant majority upon our gallant
eheftain's old battle ground
And the streets themselves thronged with the
youth and beauty of the place. Thousands were in
motion to witness the sublime spectacle and all seem
ed to participate in the gladstone festivities rescued
nation-a redeemed land-Libery rcstored-might
well induce universal JOY. The victory has been
achieved and its achievement celebrated God grant
that its fruits may be PEACE, PRosPERlTr and HAPPi-

Ii is with great regret the destruction
by fire. Saturday morning last of the greater part
of the buildings Of the Fredericksburg Union Ma
Dufactunng Company" situated opposite to the Rail
Road Depot. The buildings occupied three sides Of
a square. The western range, in which the
Foundry, and the front building, used Finishing
shop, entirely destroyed The eastern range, in
which were the Blacksmith shop-the ware room and
office, is uniniured There was insurance upon the
buildings, in the NJ. A, Society to the amount Of
$500 nett, and upon the machinery and patterns in
the Etna Office of Hartford Connecticut TO the sum
of $4,000. The loss of the company, however will
be very heavy notwithstanding. There was in the
finishing shop nearly ready for delivery, car wheels
and other work for Rail Roads to the value Of IS 600
Locomotive Engine of excellent workmanship, and
new high-pressure Steam Engine, were also in the
building II is hoped the injury which they have sus-
tanned will not prove very great.
The loss is serious one to our community and will
