CONGRESS-


There has been but little done since our last,s
worthy ofnotice. Members have been engaged
principally in making speeches on the Veto. Mes
sage, in which mo- little abuse has been. heapeaS
upon the President. On the 4th the question
was taken whether the little tariff bill should beg
come law notwithstanding the Presidents S
to- and the sstood---ayes ia. noes 81. Tl8ss
constitutional majority of two-thrds not votihgsE
in the affirmative, the bill Of course failed to be-
come law.
1t is pretty clearly ascertained that the wings
will pass another tariff bill, which llcontain
the same Objectionable feature as the one justs
vetoed, and which will meet with similar fate.
There are various opinions as to the course that
will be pursued in that event. 1t is supposed by i,
many that Congress will Immediately adjourn,
and leave the President TO raise revenue as he
can; while othersthink that that portion of the
whg party who believe the interest of the country
to be of more importance than the "heading of
Captain Tyler" willunite with the democrats in

BEWARE OF .ARASCAL,.

The public are hereby cautioned to beware
of man calling himself William H. Taylor,
who recently Eraaean attempt to murder his
wife in Oglethrope county, and has departed to
parts unknown, where he had better remain, to
avoid merited situation in the Penitentiary OF
this State for his rascality. This fellow came to
reside in this county about eight years ago. and
by his artful and hypocritical manners, being a
fine looking man, soon ingratiated himself into
good society. He unfortunately married my
daughter, and they have four children. Taylor
told his wife just before he runaway, that he
left wife and four children in North Carolina,
and when he lived there went by the name OF
James Henry Hill, but when he came to this
county he called himself William Ii. Taylor,
and-passed limselfoff as young man without a
family. To prevent this fellows further decep-
ton, Twill now give his description: Taylor is
spare built man, of good appearance. about
five ieet six inches high, black eyes and hair,
dark complexion, and is very fond OF liquor,
and when drinking cannot talk plain: he is good
fiddler, and first-rate boot and shoe maker by
trade he is generally very lively and full of talk,
and well calculated to deceive any one. am
thus particular that the rascal may be known,
and prevented from practising similar rascality
elsewhere. a
The papers in North and South Carolina will,
perhaps, be rendering kindness, bypublishing
the above, that the public may be on their guard
against this accomplished rascal. -

THE FALLEN LEAVES.

We stand among the fallen leaves,
Young children OF our play.
And laugh TO see the yellow things
Go rustling on their way:
Right merrily We hunt them down,
The autumn winds and we,
Nor pause to gaze where snow-drifts lie,
Or sunbeams gildthe tree.
With dancing feet we leap along
Where withered boughs are s,rownl
The past nor future checks our song
The present is our own.
We stand among the fallen leaves,
In youths enchanted spring
When hope (who wesries at the last)
First spreads he' eagle wing.
We tread with steps OF conscious strength
Bensath the iesfcss trees,
And the color kindles on our cheek
As blows the winter breeze;
While gazing toward the cold gray sky,
Clouded with snow and rain,
We wish the old year all past by,
And the young spring come again.
We stand among the fallen leaves,
In manhood's naughty prime
When first our pausing hearrs begin
To love 'the olden time;"
And as we gaze, we sigh to think
How many year has passed,
Since meath these cold and faded trees
Our footsteps wandered last:
And old companions now perchance
Estanged, forgot or dead
Come round Us, as those autumn leaves
Are crushed beneath our tread.
We stand among the fallen leaves
In our autumnal day
And tottering on with feeble steps.
Pursue our cherries way.
We Look not back; too long ago
Hath all we loved been lost
Nor forward-for we may not live
To see our new hope crossed;
But on we go-the suns faint beam
A feeble warmth imparts-
Childhood without its joy returns
The present fills our hearts
