matter of regret with US, as with number Of
others who are Texas men, and have supported
every measure Of the present administration,
that 40 proscrptive feeling should exist in the

the Calhoun and the former Van Buren, men.
Mr.. Polk regrets this jealousy between his
friends, and to alay it as much as possible, has

wheat is very hardy, OF a beautiful red color,
with smooth chail heads from to inches
long, and average from 80 TO 100 grains to
the head. 1t is believed that it will yield at
least ~ per ceul. more to the acre than the
ordinary wheat, from the fact that it has from

A few heads were found in a box of China

INDIAN CORN,

A member of the British Parliament has given
notice oil his intention, at the next session OF that
body, to move for the admission of Indian corn
into Great Britain free of duty. Such move4
ment would be advantageous to both countries.
A large portion of the British aborers, whose
principal diet is potatoes and rye-hour, will then
nave 1t In their power 10 procure good bread :,
which, in despite of their prejudices against this
grain the result OF ignorance of It's paaable cha
Tac'er, they Will soon prefer, as vast numbers a.
mong us do, to that made from wheat Some Of
the English papers rdicule the proposition, and
state that Indian corn is used in this country al.
most exclusively to fatten pigs! If they would
visit us in the Southern States, they would see

SUWARR0W'S PASSAGE OF THE GLARUS.
BY REV. J. 7. HEADLY.

Switzerland is full of battle fields, manv of
them glorious from their association with free
dom. The traveller-especially the Ameri-
can traveller-looks on them with the deem
est interest. But there are those on which
his eyes rest with painful. interest: for while
ne cannot but stand and wonder at the a.
chievements of man, his heart is panied with
the ravages he has wrought.
Forty-six years ago, one NIGHT in Sentem-
Der, the peaceful inhabitants of the Muotta
Thai were struck with wonder at the sudden
appearance among them of muIlitudes of men
OF strange garb and language. They had
Just gathered their focks and herds to the
Told, and were seeking their quiet homes that
slept amid the green pasturages, when like a
mountain torrent, come pouring out from ev-
cry dehle and mountain pass, these strange
unIntelllgible beings. From the heights of
the kInzlg Culm--irom precipces the shep-
herds scarce dared to tread--,hey came stream
ing with their confused jargon around the
cottages OF these simple children of the Alps.
1t was Suwarrow, with tweDty-four thousand
Russians at his back, on his march from Jtalv
TO join the allied forces of Zurich. He had
forced the passage Of st. Gothard, and had
reached thus far when he was stopped by the
lake Lucerne, and was told that Korksakow
and the main Russian army were defeated
Indignant and incredulous at the report he
would have hung the peasant who informed
him as spy, had not the lady mother of st.
Joseph's nunnery inierceded in his behalf
Here, IN this great Ali pine valley, the bold
commander found himself completely sur
rounded. Molitor and his bauaiions looked
down on him from the summit of the Muotta
Thai; Morter and Massena blocked up its
mouth while Lecourbe hung on the rear.
The Russian bear was denned, and compelled
for the first time in his life, to order retreat.
He wept in indignation and grief, and adopted
the only alternative left him-to cross the
Pragei in Glarus.
Then commenced one of those desperate
ma marches unparalleled in the history of man.

For many countless hour,
At the childish boast of human might,
And the pride of human power.

A navy upon the seas,

Or tugged at the weary oar;
When measured the painting courser's speed.
