as follows. Mr.. Kimball, the hero
also, a gentleman and scholar'-fell
in love with Miss Hankins, daughter of
Col. Hankins Of Connersville, Indiana,
who reciprocated. This occurred du-
ring suciable Christmas time. Miss II.
was at boarding school, at that period.
After proper time had elapsed, the
parties wrote letters to Col. ii. inform
ing him Of their attachment, and desire
Of al union. The Coils answer was
made in person, and he Immediately
took his daughter East not that he
had any serious objections 10 Mr.. K
o., no!-but he did not wish her TO
marryjaS! faen. Those interested,
thought otherwise, and kept up cor
rcspodence, the young lady informing
hcr lover Of the day OF her return, &c.
The Col. accordingly reached Cincin-
natl on the 18th, and took rooms al

Let's all unite, a willing band,

Well all unite in faith and hope.
To make President of Polk.
I'm told that Folks healthy plant,
And democratic doctors grant,
That if tho wings will take it soon,
Twill surely kill "that same old coon.''
This same old coon, old Henry Clay,

To bob a tail; ah! this will do;
Come forward wings, but don't complain,
Well bob your tails, tho it may pain.
Well take those wings, all by, she tail,
And backward right across rail;
Well chop their tails. both close and short,
For fear they claim to be our sort.
Come democrats, let's all unite,
Our cause is just, our plea is right;
Let's bob the wings so tight and close,
That they cant wag their tails nor boast.
The Coons are very dirty bru.es,
That live on bugs, and frogs, and roots;
But they will look still worse next fall,
Their tails drove up, their heuds all BALD
Poor coons I'm sorry for their sake;
For sure, their hearts will almost break,
To see their leaders ringed tail,
Hauled back and cropped across rail.
Come all ye coon,es, 'possums, skunks,
Come see your leaders tail so blunt!
Return into your dens and sigh!
For sure your leaders doomed to die!
Come bank men, nbolilionists,
Come tariff men, who'r so unjust,
Ye mongrel sects, Of every breed;
Come sec your lea der's tail doth bleed.
Farewell ye wings of fedral hue. , ...

= LIEUTENANT HUNrER.--A public dinner was
recently given, at Richmond, to the officers of the
steam cutter Legare. The commander is queer
hsh, and the following anecdote concerning him
was related by Lieut.. Porter:
Lieutenant Hunter had been sent, to the West
Indies to capture a notorious pirate in those wa
tiers, known as tho "Little Devil,'' and who was
finally killed by an American officer in single
combat. The American force was on the look
out, in ambuscade, VIC believe; but it so CHANGED
that Hunter was captured by the pirates, while
separated from his party. The commander of the
cut.throats, Little Devil" was man Of furious
temper. and never fIsfed any promise of ven-
geance which hc made. Hunter was taken TO q
secret place, and there informed that un,oss he
betrayed his party he should be hung on the spot.
His answer was, sailor Iiie-"lIa NO and be damn.
ed" No sooner said than dono. He was Instantly
hung up, and left. In few inmates they return.
ed, took him down nearly scnseess, and again
told him that if he would be,ray the whereabouts
of his party his life should be spared; there was
gold which should bo his and moreover his return
to his men should be managed that nothing
should be suspected of the truth by them. The
alternative was instant death by hnnging, without
hope OF repriovc, for it was his last chance. His
laconic reply again was, "Ilang and be damned" :"
They hung him again, and left him. But, BY goo /
fortune, he was found before ife was quite gone.
by some of his men. taken down insensible. and
happily restored to life. The story reflects the
highest honor upon Lieut.. Hunter, and we hop,
wi
meritorious and gallant an officer, by n, least
encouraging his recent and important invention.
It is the least it could do.-RereHe.
