From the Soutkssn Literary Messenger
The Autumn Leaves.

By LADY OF RICHMOND.
What makes the hue Of the autumn leavesl
Well, tame thy bird like glee,
And Chain thy bounding foots,ep, child,
And listen while to the legend wild,
Which will tell to thee
The Indians say that long, long since,
Ere our sires had brought. their band,
!nca, ioreiasasrs came OCT the western sea,
And they found nation stern, wise and free,
And they slew them and took their land.
And of 4: the season returns seain:
So simple their faith believes
"hen the moon comes, that lighteth the hunters
Then the bright red blood Of their murdered race
Springs up in the autumn leaves.
But poet hath written a gentler creed:
Last, love, and you shall know;
For his sketches are "pencilings" bright and
Lake the fairy tales Of the times of old,
Which ! read 90 long ago.
He says that the rainbows of myriad hues
Are laced in the tree tops high,
That tie sunsets have come in the summers
And poured their full splendor Of radiance
back,
In robe Of gorgeous dye.
That the burning gems, which lie hid beneath,
In their dark and earth bound shrine,
Have melted and mounted from root 10 crest,
I'LL the forest in princely style is drest
With the riches Of themine.
But the sweetest reason Of Ill, think,
Is this-which lesson breathes-
That the charm which lendeth the woods their
flush,
II the fros!-kiss, spreading crimson blush
Ger the modeS Autumn Leaves.

HON. DAVID HENSHAW.

We happy TO state 10 our readers that the ener
by Mr. Henshaw, the Secretary of the Navy, in his
department, during The short time he has performed
the alduous duties OF his Office has fully proved to
the American people that lie possesses all the energy
and good judgment required for his important station,
The discharge of about 600 workmen in the differ
ent Navy Yords, required nerve prompted by duty
that few men possess. No sooner had the Secretary
made known his reasons, that no funds were appro-
prated by the last Congress- uneA pended, to pay them
than the public became perfectly satisfied, and jus
tilted the Secretary fully in his course-whch act
will eventually lead TO The correction Of numerous
wrongs which have long been suffered to exist, and
the ferretng out others for future correctonwhich
evidently shows that a better selection for this most
respon ibe station could not have been made by Pre-
sident Tyler than that of Mr.. Henshaw-and surely
man has become more deservedly popular. HIS
settled purpose to expose ard correct all wrongs in
the Department over which he has so ably presided
has rendered him deserved popularity throughout
New England, and we presume throughout the Union
Mr.. Henshaw Is one OF The few men IN our country
who determine what is right, and then goes ahead
execute, fea less Of consequences always throwing
himself upon the justice Of hi. acts. He man OF
sound common sense, determined purpose, Of great
decision of character, and friendly TO his friends.
Such men are uniformly popular, and deseryedly
These were the traits OF character of General Jack.
