EXPEDITION TO CALIFoRNIA.--At a
meeting held recently in Jackson county,
Mo-, company was formed, consisting
of So gentlemen, 10 of whom have iam-
hes, which they will take with them.
This company invites all who wish to
Join them, as emigrants to California, to
rendezvous at the Sappling Grove, on the
old Santa Fe route, about nine miles west
of the Missouri State line, against the 10Th
of MAY next.
1t was resolved that all persons either
single or having families, shall be provid-
ed with sulliciency of provisions and
other necessaries to insure them against
want, till they reach the Buffalo region.
Further resolved, that no person shall
be permitted to take any spirituous liquors
except for medical purposes.
The country to which they propose to
emigrate is described us exceedingly eli.
gble in all points of view--whether COM
mercial or agricultural. The climate is
salubrous and delightful--,he soil rich
the natural productions various--and all
the means of a pleasant and comfortable
subsistence afforded in abundance.

MUSINGS IN THE TEMPLE OF NATURE.

BY DIR. cHATFIsLD.
Man can build nothing worthy of his Maker,
From royal Soomon's stupendous fame,
Down to the humble chapel Of the Quaker,
All. all are 10 vain.
The wondrous world which he himself created,
L. the fit temple OF Creations Lord;
There may his worship be best celebrated.
And praises poured.
Its altar earth, its roof the sky untainied,
Sun, moon and stars, are lamps that give il light,
And Clouds by the celestial artist painted,
Its pictures bright.
Its choir all vocal things. whose glad devotion,
In one united hymn is heavenward sped,
The handicapped the winds, the deep-mouthed
ocean,
Its organs dread.
The face Of nature 10 Gods written bible.
Which all mankind may study and explore,
While none can wrest, intcrI.olate or libel,
It's living lore.
Hence, learn we, that our Maker. whose affection
Knows no distinction, suffers recall,
Sheds his impartial favor and protection.
Alike on all.
Thus by divine example do gather,
That every race should love alike all others,
Christian, jew, Pagan, children of one Father.
All, all are brothers.
Conscience Heavens silent oracle, the assessor
OF right and wrong in every human breast,
Sternly condemns the impenitent iransgressor
To live unbest.
The pous a nd the virtuous though assaulted
by fortunes lrown mans unjust DEGREES.
Still in their bosoms, find pure, exalted,
Unfailing peace.
Hence do we learn, that hardened vice is hateful,
Since Heaven pursues it with avengng rod,
While goodness, seli-rewarded, must be grateful,
To man and God.
o thou most visible, yet unseen teacher,
Whose finger writes its lessons on our sphere,
o thou most audible but unheard preacher,
Whose sermons clear,
Are seen and read in all that thou pe,formest
Wilt thou look down and bless, ii, when kneel,
Apart from mani built ianes, feel the wa'inest
And purest zeall
fin the temple thine own hands have fiashiond,
Meath the bright sky, by lonely stream wood,
pour to thee with thrilling heart anfassioned,
Ny gratitude :
IL in thy present miracle terrestrial,
Mine ewes behold wherever have kneeled,
New proofs of the fuluriiy celestial,
To man revealed
If fearing thee, love the whole creation,
Keeping my bosom indebted by guilt
Wilt thou receive and bless mine adorationI
Thou wilt, thou wilt.

carrying on his depredaiions, many of them, are OF

HARrRR's FERRY ARmoRY.--The Winchester
Republican states that the Armory at Harpers
Ferry will shortly be placed under the control of an
officer Of the u. S. Army with Instructions to ex-
anime into all its concerns. The Administration
having determined that every department OF the
Government should undergo the mos, rigid scrutiny
in order that abuses, wherever they exist, may be
corrected it is propsr that the Armory at Harpers
teriy should not be an exception more especially
as 1t has been asserted that the manufacture OF fire
arms there has cost the government considerably
more than the same kind of arms cost at Spring
field; and certainly no one will be better able to
Obtain the desired information than an experienced

That bounded when the battles fires
Flushed Ger Columbia's freedom spires,
