This Company, says the New York Evening
Post, has capital of two millions of dollars. In

Are there any farmers or planters, We should be
glad to know, who have received any thing ike
the same proportion for their lands the past year!
The whig papers tell us that This class of men is
extremely prosperous; if SO, it can be shown.
Is there single man engaged in agriculture IN

that of other persons employed with him, findseit

PEACE-sCENEs AFTER BATTL
War is not the holiday things we see now and then
on our peaceful parade grounds. We must look for
the reality elsewhere; md IL you would conceive
what il really is, take account like the following,
written by clergyman on the spot, of scenes he wit
nessed after the battle Of Sodin,
"At O'clock" snys he, "the cannonading
ceased and went foot 10 Soldin, in order TO learn
10 whose advantage the battle had turned out
Towards evening, seven hundred OF the Russian fn-
gitves came TO Sodin, painful sight indeed; some
holding up their hands, cursng und swearing; others
praying, and praisng the King OF Prussia; wthout
hats without clothes; foot, others two m II
horse with their hcnds and arms tied up; some drag
gng along by the stirrups AN others by the horses
tails
"When the battle was decided, and victory shout
ed for the Prussan army, ventured to the place
where tho cannonading After walking some
way, Cossack's horse running full speed to-
wards ! mounted him; and on my way for
miles and half on this side of the field of bnt
tie, found the dead and the wounded, lying the
ground, sadly cut to pieces. The further advanced,
The more these poor creatures lay heaped one upon
another.

Men. women and children, Russians and Prussans,
carriages and horses oxen chests and bagg age all ly
ing one upon another, 10 the height ora man! Seven
villages around were in flames, and the inhabitants
either massacred thrown into the fire!
"The poor wounded" horrid exhibition of
the spiritwere still firing at one another in the
greatest exaspernton!' The field of battle WINS

with dead and wounded; there ,ras mol erea room e.

wounded. noble Prussln officer, who had lost
both of his legs, cried ont mr, 'Sir, You are n

passion and despatch me at once"
Hero is war; and the disciples Of the Prince Of
peace sanction such mode of settling disputes be-
tween rational, civilized, Christian men-between
nations any more than between individuals? In all
this. what is there which the Gospel can approve or
on which God of peace and love, can look with
complncency Yet such things are inseparable from
war; part Of its legitimate, designed inevitable re.

Poetry,

The following s,Anzas, by La MARITIME, the greatest
living poet of France, extracted from the Fare
well TO tho Academy of Alarseilles, on the eve of en-
barking for the Holy Land. We give them rs trans
lated in tho Foreign Quarterly Review.
THOUGHTS ON TIE HOLY LAND.
have not yet felt on the sea Of sand
The slumberous rocking of the desert bark
Nor qucnched my thirst at eve with quiNeriug hand
BY IIehron's well, beneath the palm tree dark;
Nor ia the pilgrims tent my mantle spread,
Nor laid me in the dust where Job hath lain,
Nor, while the canvass murmured overhead,
Drenmt Jncob's mystic dream ngain
or the worlds pages, one is yet unread;-
How the stars trcmble in Chadea's sky;
With whit sense Of nothingness tread,
How tho henu heats when God appears nigh
How on the soul, beside some column lone,
The shadows of old days descend and hovor,-
How the grass speaks the earth sends out its moan,
And the breeze waves that wanders
have not heard in the tall cedar top
The cries of nations echo to and fro;
Nor seen from Lebanon the eagles drop
On Tyres deep-buried palaces below;
have not laid my head upon the ground
Where Tadmors temples in the dust decay,
Nor startled, with my FOOTBALLS dreary sound,
The waste where Memnon's empire lay.
| have not stretched where Jordnn's current flows,
Heard how the loud lamenting river weeps,
With means and cries sublimer s'en than those
With which the mournful Prophet stirred its dcepq;
Nor felt the transports which the soul inspires
In the deep grot, where he, the bard Of Kings,
Felt NJ the dead night, hand of fame
Seize on the harp, and sweep the strings.
l have not wandered DER the plain, whereon,
Beneath the olive tree, tho Sdriour weh;
Nor traced his tears The hlllowed treee upon,
Which Jealous angles have not all outwept;
Nor, in the garden watched, through night sublime,
Where, while the bloody sweat was undergone,
Tho echo Of his and our crime
Rung in one listening cor alone!
Nor have hent my forehead on the spot
Where his ascending footsteps pressed the cny;
Nor won with lips devout the rock-hewn spot,
Where in his mothers tears embalmed he lay;
Nor smote my breas, that sad mountain head,
Where, even in death, conquering the powers Of
air,
l'is arms, as TO embrace earth, lie spread,
And bowed his head TO bless il there
