FRoM PESsAcoIA.-By a private letter OF
last Monday, from Pensacola, we learn that
the body Of Stillwell Cornell, the marine who
was lost overheard from the sloop Isabella,
mentioned in yesterdays paper,) was picked
up on the beach near the lighthouse on Sun
day, and the impression of the Ccronor's jury
was that the deceased had come to his death
by unfair means. Cornell had been paid of,
and received over 500. Nothing was known
at Pensacola of the loss of the captain Of the
sloop. May it not be possible that there has
been foul play somewhere in this business4
The scout of forty men under Lieut.. Mont.
gomery, of the Army, who left Pensacola to
scour the country about ST. Andrews and
C~hoctahatchee Bayou, in search of a family or
small party of Indians in that neighborhood,
who had committed sundry depredatious, have
just returned after an absence of45 days. The
scout succeeded in finding and destroying Sc
veral camps, and at one time came near seiz-
ing the Indians, who only escaped by entering
a burnt district of woods, where. their trail
was lost, and the pursuit given up.
A Court Martial is ordered TO convene at the
Pensacola Navy Yard on the Sd ofnext month
for the trial of Capt. lob Williams, of the Ma.
rine Corps, on charges said to be made by
Daniel Saint, suttler Of the Marine Guard at
that place.

THE REFORMED CRows.-The following
piece ofdro!lery is found in a late Illinois pa
per:
Colonel B. has one of the best farms ON
the Illinois river. About one hundred acres
Of it are now covered with waving corn. When
it came up in The spring. the crows seemed de-
termined upon its entire destruction. When
one was killed, it seemed as though a dozen
came to its funeral; and though The sharp
crack Of the riff often drove them away, they
always returned with it's echo. The Colonel
at length became weary Of throwing grass, and
resolved on trying the virtues Of stones. He
sent to the drtggiat for a gallon Of alchohol, in
which he soaked a few quarts of corn, and
scattered it over his field. The blackIegs
came and partook with their usual relish, and
as usual they were pretty well COINED and
such a cooling and cackling-such strutting
and staggering! When the boys attempted
to catch them, they were not a little amused
al their staggering gait and their zigzag course
through the air. At length they gained the
edge of the woods, and there being joined by
a new recruit which happened 10 be sober,
they united al the top of their voices in haw-
w-hawing, and shouting either praises or
curses Of alcohol it was difficult to tell which,
as they ratified away without rhyme or reason.
But the Colonel saved his corn. As soon as
they became sober they settheir faces stead
lastly against alcohol~-Not another kernel
would they touch in his field. lest il should
contain the accused thing, while they went
and pulled up the corn Of his neigkbors. They
have too much respect for their character,
black as they are, again to be found drunk.

The DAHLiA.-It ought to be observe
that dahlia is a fall, not a spring flower
therefore, it never ought to be planted inopeun
ground before the last Of June Ii the, rule !
shall here lay down will be followed, there
will not be that complaint which has hitherto
existed. There is no general rule without
exception, for it happens sometimes that ear
" planting succeeds, but only in rainy sea-
sons, for if planted early, aud we have a dry
%Rcason, the plants will attain their growth ia
July, or early in August. The consequence
lie, tho plants will be attacked by the red spi-
der. Thats insecr lives aud breeds on the uu-
der side of the leaves, and the sun burns up
The balance; the stem, for want Of a proper
circulation Of sap, perishcs at the same FINE,

In late planting, your plants will not attain
their growth before the last Of August or be-
ginning Of September, and then flower, and
ample compensate you for your trouble in a
rich proflsion.
The best remedy | know 10 destroy the red
spider, is whale oil soap-Lwo pounds TO ff-

This is tho most advisable way to propa.

them sprout; and, when sufficiently develop.

HuZza the morn in glory breaks,
And freedom from her slntnber wakes,
And peals her trumpet to the skies
While loud a nations voice replies,
Hnzza TO the auspicious day,
When brightly rose the star of Clay,
And high above the stormy blast
The bow Of hope and promise cast,
And broke by freedoms temple fame
The remnant ofoppression's chain
Chorus-Firm, beneath its steady light,
Let as dare the low'ring night
Soon shall beam a brighter day,
Meath the star Of Henry Clay
From mountain high, and lowly vale,
Thattrunpet swells upon the gale,
And millions from their labor spring
To bid the ~thund'ring echo ring,
And slowly break the clouds away,
While yonder CLEANS the star Of Clay
Our victor, who in might arose,
And, Ger the heads of freedoms foes,
The Constitutions banner flung,
And freedoms fearless challenge rung.
C~horUs-Firm, beneath, &c.
The farmer rests upon his plough,
The artisan with sweaty brow
Beside his ringing anvil kneels;
And while the deaf'ning echo peals,
He breathes a prayer and halls the day
When brightly rose the star of Clay?
Beneath whose mild protective light;
The harvest fields again are bright;
While commences wings spread o'erthe s?j
Bear on the trophies of the free!
Chorus-Firm, beneath, &c.
And not alone by freedoms's fame,
Is heard that stirring trumpet strain;
But far, amid the Grecian Isles,
And where Bolivia's summer smiles,
What grateful millions hail the day
When brightly rose the star of Clayi
And Ger the tyrant's bloody throne,
With kindling light and glory shone,
And left a bow Of promise there,
For those who still the fetter wearl
Cho~ruS-Firm, beneath, &c.
Then let Us shout with festal cheer,
And hail the name to freedom dear.
And while our echo shakes the sky,
Let every freeman's heart reply,
HuZza TO the suspicious day
Which drove the stormy cloud away,
And beaming Ger corruption's night,
Restored the balances Of right,
Where, soon, his hand our foes shall weigh,
And turn their idols all to Clay
Chorus-Firm, beneath its steady light,
Let us dare the l%ow'ring night!
Soon shall beam a brighter day
Meath the star of Henry Clay!
