FLOWERS.

Oh. they look upwards in every place,
Through this beautiful world Of ours
And dear as smile an old friends face,
Ia the smile OF the bright, bright flowers!
They tell us Of wsnderings by woods and streams,
They tell us o. lanes and trees
But ths children Of showers and sunny beams
Have lovelcr tale tran these
The bright, bright flowers.
They tell OF a season when men were not
When earth was by angels trod,
And leaves and flowers in every spot
Burst forth at the call Of God:
When spirits, singing their hymns at even,
Wandered by wood and glade,
And the Lord looked down from the hg hest heaven
And bless'd what He had made
The bright, bright flowers.
That blessing remaineth upon them still
Though often the storm cloud lowers,
And frequent tempests may soil and chill
The gayest Of earth's fair flowers.
When Sin and Death, with their sister Grief,
Made home ia the hearts of men,
The blessings Of God on each tender leaf
Preserved in their beauty them
The bright, bright flowers.
The llyis lovelya when it slept
On the waters Of Eden's lake:
And sweet is the woodbine as when il crept
In Eden from brake to brake.
They were left a proof of the loveliness
OF Adam and Ewes first home
They are here as a type Of the joys that bless
The just in world to come
The bright bright flowers!

THE CABINET MINISTER'S.

Rumors have been in circulation for
some days, approaching designations or
removals of Heads Of departments. These
rumo's have been so confd, niy repeat
ed, and SO sustained by communications
from Washington, such as heretofore
seemed to foreshadow events occurring
here, that they have gained some credit.
However strange they appeared in truth
to be. they could not be more strange
than which have heretofore followed such
predictions. In the New York CONNER
cIal Advertiser of Friday afternoon, how
ever, we find the subjoined article, which
bears the impress Of authority, and un.
doubtedly cmanated from an official
source at the seat Of Government. We
feel bound to give entire faith to it's reve.
lations, SO far as the writer himself is a.
rare OF what is or has been in contempla-
ton. We must protest, however, against
one assumption in this article, and against
the countenance winch the Commercial
Advertiser, by adopting il without ex
cePtion, gives to it. We deny that "the
extremes Tor any party Of both the grea,
political parties dividing the country,
are united in opposition to the Pres.
dent; and TO sustain this denial, without
entering INTO any further argument upon
the matter. il is enough to challenge the
production Of a single instance in which
the two parties have voted together up
on any Legislative measure since the
opening of the present Congress, in oppo
stion to..the President Nothing, we feel
assured, would have been more grateful
to the body of the Wings in Congress,
than 10 have found themselves on all oc.
casions in accord with the Executive

ANOTHER NKGRo BURNED.--We learn
from the clerk of the Highlander, that
while wooding short distance below the
mouth Of Red River, they were invited to
stop short time and see another negro
burned. They were informed that the
fellow who was prepared for the exhibit
ton was another Of the gang recently
mentioned as having committed enormi.
ties and fed to the swamp--one Of whom
was burnt, as already published. The
las; fellow had killed a man and carried
off two women, one of whom he had vio-
lated, and for this they had him well
chained and the fagots ready, with view
Of giving him foretaste of his inevitable
ultimate end.-N.O. Bulletin.
The tono in which this horrible trans
action is spoken of indicates a state Of So
ciety but little in advance of the savage.
Civilized men, it would seem, could not
calmly infict such torture upon dog !:
the heart must be cased in triple steel
that would not shrink from beholding the
unutterable agonies of brute beast thus
burned to death. What, then, in the
name of humanity, must we think OF those
who can not only burn to death human
being, but with iendish spirit of hellsb
heartessness invite their friends to stop
while and witness the horrd rites -
No matter if the poor wretch have made
himself an ncarnate devil by his atrocious
crimes the man who could treat him
thus should have lived centuries ago TO
blacken the age, and to shame the deeds,

SAMUEL L. soUTHARR.

The beloved and respected Senator from

dent Of the body of which he had lonp
been distinguished ornament, is no more.
Our forebodings Of tho fatal termination
OF the illness under which he had long
suffered have been realized. He died al
fredericksburg, in Virginia, in the mlds,
Of his friends, and surrounded by all the
members of his family, on Sunday last, a,
about 10 o'clock in the morning.
We shall not dim the deserved eulogy
bestowed upon his memory in the annun-
citation to the Senate Of their loss, by any
attempts on our own part to do justice to
the various merits of the deceased. He
was to our personal knowledge, with few
equals in all the relations of Son, IIus-
band and Father and he was, of all
things, as true Friend as ever breathed.
As citizen he ever enjoyed the highest
estimation; and his abilities are best
proved by the elevated stations to which
they have induced his lellow-citzens sue
cessiyely to call him.

office he discharged with pre-eminent a.

DUEL BETWEEN THE HON. T. +. MAR.
SHALL, OF KENTUCKY, AND COL.
JAMES w. WEBB, EDITOR OF
THE NEW YORK COIiRIER

shall, Of hENlUCh1, AND COL.
JAMES w. WEBB, EDITOR OF
THE NEW YORK COURIER.
Many persons are at loss to know
the cause Of quarrel between these gen,
ilemen, and we shall therefore endeavol
to give brief account Of it. Ii will be
remembered that of the las, extra session
OF Congress, among the laws passed was
the General Bankrupt Law, and If we re-
collec. right Mr.. Marshall supported it,
AT the commencement of the regular ses-
sion, vigorous effort was made to repeal
the act, and among those mos, earnest for
the repeal was Mr.. NJ, and nearly the
entire Kentucky delegation. Pending the
discussion on the repeating act, the New
York Courier, whose editor was opposed
to tho repeal, published on article FIRST
under its editorial head, in the shape Of
communication, which limited very strong
ly that agents of foreign creditors were
actively engaged in using bribery to effrc,
the repeal, and that its effects were visible
in the change of ooini ms of members, &c.
We write from memory, and perhaps are
not perfectly correct, but this we think
was the tenor Of the communication. 10
a speech IN the House, subsequently TO
the publication of this article, Mr.. Mar
shall took occasion to notice il, and TO-
torted very severely upon Col. Webb.
This drew from Col. Webb private note
to Mr.. NJ, to which no attention was paid.
An occasional editorial, rejecting upon
Mr.. M, appeared in the Courier, and
thus matters stood, until Mr.. NJ. visited
New York, and commenced his lectures
upon temperance.-Here recriminatiors
took place, Mr.. Marshall upon the stand,
and Col. Webb through the columns Of
the Courier, until the trial of Monroe Ed
wards came on. Just before the trial, it
was announced that Mr.. NJ. was one of
Edwards counsel, and the Courier took
occasion TO notice the fact with an obser-
walton to the effec, that Mr.. NJ. had better
be IN Washington attending to his bust.
ness, than travelling like " mountebank"
through the country, defending notorious
criminals. This article drew from Mr..
NJ. scorching reply before the court, in
his opening address to the jury, and was
followed by rejoindcr in the Courier of
mex. day equally severe. This ended all
publications and the result has been
challenge from MIR. Marshall. Annexed
is the account Of the meeting.
This event, SO long expected, took place
this Saturday morning, u, 4 o'clock, on
Nnmaan's Creek, near the Pennsylvania
and Delaware lines, about three miles from
Marcus Hook, and resulted in Col. Webb
receiving his antagonists ball, at the sec.
ond fire, in the back part of the left knee.
They fought with common dueling pistols
at ten PAGES.
