High rose the battle cry,
And round in heavy volumes, spread
The cloud to the sky;
Twas not, when in rival strength
Contending nations meet,
Or love Of conquest madly hurs

Yet one was there, unused &c tread
The path of mortal strife,
Who but the Savior's flock had fed
Beside the fount of life.
He kelt him where the black smoke wreathed,
His head was bowed and bare,
While for an infant land he breathed
The agony Of prayer.
The column red with early morn,
May tower DER Bunker's height,
And proudly tell race unborn,

But thou, oh patriarch. old and grey.

which they differ on the bank question. The
wings go far monopolies and exclusive privileges,

effect of the high tariff passed by the late wing
congress upon the commerce OF the country:
Under the prc,rnce Of a deficiency Of revenue,
that act imposed "prOtcCliOn,' which destroyed

improvement in the Manufacture IF Sugar.
A New Orleans paper states that Mr.. RiIIcuy, OF
that city, has invented new process for the ma
manufacture Of sugar, or rather an improvement
on the old method, which will effect a complete
revolution in that great Louisiana staple. He
guarantees to increase the product of sugar 20 per
cent, instead of an equal amount OF moasscs, and
to save the whole expense of fuel for cooperating
syrup and grinding the cane, except what the TO-
gosSc, or refuse cane, will furnish. The apparat-
US used by Mr.. Il. will turn out II GOO lbs. of SUI
gar in "a hours. 1t is stated in the New Orleans
Bee that the total saving in fuel and increase in
the value Of the product, in the state of Louisiana
will be about ten millions of dollars year, proyi-
dcd the plan is as successful as is promised.
