And the breath Of each was hurried and long,
As the funeral prayer wa, said;
Till tho silence was broke by fearful plunge.
As the ocean received the dead.
Vain were his mothers fears les. the wave
Should wear Its stormy array;
And little she thought, in her far.of home,
Of the joys she buried that day
That when she prayed for The life Of her boy,
he deep in the ocean lay!

It 10 not easy to fad materials for letter in this
good city Of Porkopoes. The Pork Season is
among the by-gones. The incidents attending it
were numerous, and some Of .hcn of deep inter-
est More swine have been slaughtered than ever
before-upwards Of 200, 900 in all This inn
uense amount of provisions has been nearly alto
sether purchased by Eastern agents with credit,
each for sigh. bills. The pork dealers here could
: not compete with these Eastern agents, because
zheg were scarce of funds; not having recovered
from former Losses, and being without banking ia
cilities at command for more credit. Prices have
been low but We, go high that the purchasers will
find 1t difficult To realize their outlay The farmer
has the benefit, having sold for cash, at low price,
indeed, but yet at one higher than his purchaser
could afford to give. The profit of the cooperage,
alaughtering, curing, packing and Forwarding re-
mains to the city, It is large business, and must
increase beyond its present point.
Flour is forwarded from here in large quantities,
both that ground here and chat from country mills
This article is still going forward, and at prices

South and East. The sellers complain of low
pricea but unless the articlsimproves the purcha
sers will have most cause to complain.
There is some prospect of something like an &C.
,ive, Spring business in Dry Goods and Groceries.
This viii be done mostly for cash. Credit is hard
w known In any sales. No one knows whom to
credi,-and honest men are afraid to promise, lest
1hev fail in performance. -Eastern Exchange is
low. and abundant for the demand, which s great
ly reduced. The currency is very much reduced,
and men are astonished TO see how little money
does the business of this large and once prosper
Gus city,, say prosperous, because ae is tnuch
less so than it was before IT'S energies were crippled
by lhe destructive course of desperate polirclsns
The city has struggled, and get struggles, IN
the fulhIment of her nigh destiny. Many Old bu'
siness men have retired; but o,hera will take their
places The banks issue none OF their own notes
They sometimes buy short bill East, and pay Tor
it in currency, that is in Indiana and interior notes
The state Of Exchange at New Orleans has made
brisk demand for specie for that market But
this is nearly over.
The Franklin Bank Just before its charter ex-
pired, made assignment OF its assets TO rus
tees, who were proceeding to wind up lib affairs,
occasionally renewing a note, where the DEBTOR
could no. pay. One of the stockholders became
dissatisfied with this and falling among bad coun-
sellors applied to ,hc Court of Common Pleas TO
SET aside the assignment, and have Receivers to
take the effects. 1t is said that soa,e hungry Lo-
eo-Focos had been selected for the place, and that
al. things were nearly cut and dried The cause
was argued several days, and the Court loco-to-
COZ decided that the assignment was void, because
a law of the State vested the assets of Bank
whose charter expired, in the Directors then in
Office, aud that the Directors in this case had not
refused TO serve, and must be REGARDED as holding
the assets until they refused So ended that chap
ter aad the Directors will appoint The old Assign
ees their agents, and the business so as before
The City Election takes place the hrst Monday
in April. Judging fromth. number OF officers 10 be
elected. this election must be OF great Importance
afecting the whole city government Every oth-
Ger is subject TO popular election, but more than
tha, the term OF most of them is annual, and they
all expire together. The city is largely Wing, but
calculate upon their efforts, or the resslt hei'
opponents are always the watch. The old
Mayor, Davies, is SICK and has declined 3 re-eer-
tion. There arc three Wing candidates left, neither
of whom is the right thing They lack energy
and 6rmness. Should the Loco-Focos unite upon
candidate, and keep quiet Unit! the morning of
the election, they may cleo, him.
The Legislature has adjourned. This is the only
&C. Of that body which occasioned rejoicing
8 81, o,A
des,rsc:ive in the extreme. Their war upon the
good banks, TO drive capital out of the State, vii!
Be long smembered for its Injurious effects Their
bill darric,ing the State for Congress, is Gerry
Wandering Of the vilest kind. The Wings, who
have undcub,ed najori,y of the Stase, they
permit to elect out of 81 members! Out upon
such inJas.ieet YET this does not seem rouse
up the people. The Wing Members Of the Legis-
Issure aeid meeting before they aajouraed, en-
bodying tneir views upon national affairs, and the
destructive course OF the ultra majority in the Le-
gislaiare, IN resolutions and an address which YOU
viii see in the newspapers. They are for q Ma
,ioaai Convention, bur prefer Clay and Davis.
There w8s a Cass move here q shor, time siace,
and there was one before for johnson. All ,his
will avail nothing. The. leaders have sold tho
State TO Van Buren, and SO far as the Lcco-Foco
votes 20, he will get it.
Capt Tyler's party would hardly be known TO
exist il it did no, Marpayi- occasionally. Theee
ia nothing Of it. BY the way, rumos says the
Captain or some one acquainted with his peculiar
views, sateIy solicited ono of his officers here TO
employ superannuated old man with his sen ana
daughters as clerks. He respectfully declined TAX
ing the old man. because he was wholly unit. bat
