COL GRoGAE. The Montreal Gazette takes
the right ground with regard to the late outrage
the following is from that paper
We mentioned short time ago, that the noto-
rious Grogan had been brought into town, in
charge of a party of Volunteer Dragons, and
lodged in Jail Since then, we have heard that
some little excitement has been created the
other side of the lines by his arrest-and the good
people of Burlington have thought it worth while,
to hold a meeting, by which the gentleman may
be restored to his amable pursuits of house and
barn burning. 1t was to have been held yester-
day, and the grounds, we understand, upon which
" action" las our neighbors phrase it,) would be
taken, were, tina: Grogan was kidnapped from
the United States, carried into this Province, and
then surrendered to the civil power. If this be
true, the man, of course, ought not to be retained
in custody and fit can be established, by affida-
wits, notw outstanding the high crimes of which
true bills have been found against him in our
Criminal Courts, no obstacle, we presume, will
be offered to his surrender, to such american au-
thorites, may take the proper steps for his re-
lease.

LUNAR RAINBOW. A most complete and unu-
sualy brilliant rainbow was visible in this town
on Saturday evening at half past eight o clock
A gusty shower had just past over, with high
wind from the South, when the nearly full moon
shone out, being nearly in the South and low
Its light falling on the rain from the cloud pas
sing over, caused perfect arch IN the north I'M
der the cloud, the top of which was at an eleva-
ton of perhaps 30 degrees. The arch was a
white light, with very faint tinge of the usual
colors of the rainbow. 1t was not the aurora boz
reals, because it was under the cloud, and when
our notice was first called to it the rain was yet
falling, the cloud having not yet passed entirely
over our position. As soon as the cloud had pas
sed over however, the aurora displayed itself IN
the northeast, shooting up almost to the zenith.
The weather was unusually warm for the season,
and 1t had been, and it had been raining al inter
walls and cloudy all day with south wind.

MISSISSIPPI.

The Opposition have at length succeeded in
organizing regular Anti-Bond Payiny ticket,
TO run against tie Wings and honesty. A
t. M. Tucker is the candidate for Governor;
and Jacob Thompson and William M. Gwin
are their candidates for Congress. The latter
gentleman was United States Marshal for the
Southern District of Mississippi, under Mr..
Van Buren,, and is. we believe, the same who
drew in one year some ninety thousand dol
lars in fees, from the bankruptcy and distress
brought upon the State by Locofocoism. The
Wings may almost be supposed to have nc
opposition-a least, for the honor of the State
and the country we hope so.

Mr.. CLAY AND HIS MEASURES "A Wash
lngton correspondent of the New York Com
merciaI writes:
Mr.. Clay appears to be moving with great
prudence, circumspection and decision towards
the high objects which he has in view. No
one has entered the Senate chamber during
the last few days without being struck
with the courtesy and frankness of his bear
ing, and the Difference which all paw to his
suggestions. He is the focus of all eyes, and
10 him every one looks as the master spirit
under whose directions every thing moves.-
That he will carry the great measures, which
are at once the aim of his efforts and the hope
of large portion of the country, now begin
TO believe. He will have to contend with a
formidable, willy, and fast increasing opposi-
ton; but ultimate success will crown his ca
reer with imperishable fame, and give perma-
hence to the great principles of Government OF
which he is the champion. The elements oil
gathering opposition, personal, political and
geographical, are assuming a definite form
and the sources from which he is to derive bis
support are also becoming distinctively mark

sources of the two parties warrants the con-
clusion that the policy which Mr. Clay has Sc
long and steadfastly supported, must ultimate.

FROM THE N. Y. SUNDAY MERCURY.
SHORT PATENT SERMONS.
The editor of the Chicago Democrat has
requested me to preach from the following;
Go it while you're young,
For when you're old, you can't.

OO1L Wu1ie you're young,
For when you're old, you can't.
My hearers-the old proverb says,-"Train
up child in the way he should go. and when
he is old he will not depart from it, but this,
modernized, reads, "Train up child in the
way he ,oould go, and before he is old he will
go it." Yes, my friends there is no mistake
about tiff you let child run loose over the
fenceless fields of his own inclination, he will
wear out more moral shoe leather in one day
than an old man will in six weeds, who walks
moderately along the gravely high way of sin.

SALLY CARTER.

[Sister to L eftenant Carter's only Son.
Near Springfield Mounting there did dwell,
lovely damsel, known full well,
Lcftenant Carter's only gal,
Her fathers !oy-and named Sal.
One day this damsel tript it quick,
Down to a stream, to berries pick.
She hadn't pluck'd but two or three,
When her foot sllpt, and in went she.
And when into the stream she fell,
She uttered horrid yell.
And then sunk down beneath the wave,
Because no hand was there to save.
Her lover saw the awful sight,
And to her ran with all his might;
But when from ont the stream he took her,
All sight of life had quite forsook her.
He roll'd and roll'd her all about,
And quickly brought the water out.
But when he found her soul had fed,
He wrung his hands and cri-i-ed.
And then her lifeless form he bore,
Unto her anxions mothers door.
Saying Mrs. Carter here you see,
All that is left of Sal-al-lel!
The awful news shot thro' her brain,
And down she fell, nor spoke again.
The lover he some pizen took,
And upward gave an earnest look;
And told his ghost to follow arter.
His own dear Sail, and Mrs. Carer.

Under the head of Aquatic Scenery," a
recent number of the Morning Star published
at Houston, Texas, has the following scrap OF
quaint humor, a la Boz:
During the hardest of the storm the day be-
fore yesterday, we took a lounge down to the
Steamboat; landing while standing on the bank
of deep gully that emptied its torrent OF
water into the deep bayou, our attention was
attracted to the bottom of gully where a
drunken loafer was stemming the torrent,
holding on to root, fast anchored in the bank.
The poor fellow not knowing any one was
near him, was combating his fate manfully.
and in calculating his chances of escape gave
utterance TO the following:
"Haynt This erfu salvation to be placed
no how? III was a steamboat. a rail or wood
pile, I'd be better worth fifty cents on a dollar
than I'll ever be again. Unless Pm a gone
case now, there haynt no truth in frenoogy.

and find only two that bears in my favor; the
first is a skunk hole to crawl into. and the
second a special interposition of Providence;
and the best chance of the two is so slim, IT |

for the skunk hole-them'S my sentiments. If

for about two months, purhaps, | wouldn't

about feet, and if my nose was as long as

longer. Oh, Jerry! Jerry! you're gone suck

might have had the honor and qualification of
saving the life of a ow-being; but it's all

ing-the bonds will be paid in spite of all the
lies put forth in certain prints of deceptive
nature. Judge Shattuck has met Tucker and
completely demolished his whimsical appeals
to the worst passions of our nature-he has
shivered the staff of the black flag and put

"AwAKE, THOU THAT sLEEPEsT! Where are

to be in the field Shall he fight single ham
ded? Gwin and Thompson are abroad har-

manner of hard and big words about national
politics. Besides, there are two or three stri-
kers in different parts of the State, TO say no

hitting away at every thing in general, and
the bond question in particular.
