STANZAS,

emy died suddenly in that city, Sabbath February 23c
aged 49, and was brought to Stockbrdge for nIermen
There came bird of silver tone
A bird o. the early spring:
And he lighted down a messy stone
In our burial ground; and he sat alone,
And, like pilgrim glad of hisjourney done,
He folded his plumy wing.
Ills an ancient ground-our burial ground.
And the dust is garnered there
or the red browed Chief who, crested and crowned,
Once proudly trOd in the wales around;
And his paler friend, who stopped and found
His quiet bed TO share.
And the bird looked round on the field of the dead,
As pensve and bordering along;
A smessengerblr my fancy said
From the .spira-and : aud a halo shed
A dewy light round his beautious head,
And thus he poured his song:
Break ground again-break ground
They bring to thee, oh Earth another trust;
Take the dear treasure thy halls profound
Dust back to dust.
II is not the aged now
That comes from weary wandering to thy rest;
But one upon whose fair and coudless brow
No care hath pressed.
The breezes of the vale
Famed the rich blossoms of her early years;
But ah their sweetness murmured not this tale
Of death and tears.
Bright was her sun of hope.
And glad the promise of life's primal spring;
And round her heart the Virtues, blessed group,
Grew clustering.
Oh, many sought to share
The friendship OF that young and gnileess breast,
And loved to see the moral beauty there,
Blessing and blessed.
Gone hath her morning
Down in deaths billow ere it climbed to noon;
Her palmer is LAID her journey done
Soon-ah, too soon!
Yet long and ever green
AS these tall mountains in their su miner prime,
Sill she shall live in Menory's brightest sheen,
Undmmed by time
Bring her loved form to
Beside her father in this hallowed spot,
And near the ashes OF a mother, best
And unforgot.
Break ground again-break ground
And lay her here, with hearts by sorrow rven;
But know that DER We, as ye weep around,
She smiles from Heaven.
And the mystic bird then ceased to sing,
As he sat the messy stone
Then he spread once more the tinted wing,
In the clear blue sky of that day of Spring.
And heard. "a he vanished like silver ring
His latest Heavenly tone

OF There is much complaint and dis
satisfaction among some Of the dis
appointed office seekers at present in Wash
ington, five may judge from the paragraphs
we see going the rounds of the press; Colo
mel Butler; of Kentucky, expected to be
Secretary of War, and had set his heart up
on it, and Mr.. Saunders, Postmaster Gener
al, and he had set his affections also upon a
seat in the Cabinet. OF course they feel
mortified, and however they may endeavor
to restain an expression of their feelings
and Mr.. S. scarcely attempts to disg use hi.
their immediate friends do not feel them
selves bound TO RESTRAIN their feelings and &C
cordingly give vent TO themin strong ana
indignant terms. The fact that TENNESSEE
has a member Of the Cabinet, as we'll as the
President. gives great offence to those State:
that think themselves entitled to some con
sideraiion at the hands of Mr.. Polk, while
Cave Johnson's clans and qualifications, O.
rather the want of them, provoke severe re
marks. This is, however, a family matter
and must be settled by those whose affair i
is.

CHOCTAWS.

The Vicksburgh Sentinel of the 18th ult.,
referring TO this tribe of Indians, has the fol-
lowing:
The last remnants of this once powerful
tribe are now crossing our ferry on their
way to their new home in the far west. To
one, who, like the writer, has been familiar
10 their bronze inexpensive faces from in
fancy, il brings associations of peculis2 sad
ness to see them bidding here a last fare
well perhaps 10 the old hills which gave birth
and are doubtless equally dear TO him and
them alike. The first piaymates of our in
fancy were the young Choctaw boys Of the
then woods of Warren county. Their Ian
guage was once scarcely less familiar to us
than our mother English. We know, we
think, the character of the Choctaw WE'LL
We knew many of their present stalwart
braves in those days of early life when In
dian and white alike forget disguise, but in
the unchecked exuberance OF youthful feel
ing, show the real character that policy and
habit may afterwards so much conceal; and
we know that under the solid stole look he
assumes, there is burning in the Indians ma
ture a heart of fire and feeling-and all OBJ
serving keenness of apprehension that marks
and remembers every thing that occurs and
every insult he receives. Cunni-at-a-bahiL
They are going away! With a visible re-
l~uciance which nothing has overcome but
the stern necessity they feel impelling them,
they have looked their last on the graves of
their sires-the scenes oi1their youth-and
have taken up their slow toilsome march
with their household gods among them to
their new home ina strange land. They
leave names 10 many of our rivers, towns and
counties; and so long as our State remains
the Choctaws who once owned most of her
soil will be remembered.

MPoRTANT DEcIsIoNs.-Tb Globe


ofthe 9th inst, says that the Supreme Court
of the United States have decided the very
important land caae from Louisiana involv-
ing the validity of the celebrated grant known
as the Maison Rouge grant. The land
claimed under it were thirty leagues, being
upwards of two hundred a nd fifty thousand
acres, lying on both sides of the river Qua
chita, near Monroe. The case was decided
in favor of the United States, the alleged
grant being declared by the court fraudulent
and void.
The court also decided a case from Mi.
chigan, in which it ruled that lands purchas
ed from the United States are subject &c
State taxation from the date of sale. On
the part OF the purchasers it was contended
that the lands were not liable TO beNso taxed
because, until the patent issued, the lega
estate was still in the United States, and the
lands therefore exempt from taxation.

The New York Herald says:-The Meg
lean Minister at Washington. Almonte, has
made all necessary arrangements for his re-
turn to Mexico. He has taken passage in
the barque "Eugenia" now in New York,
and has written TO the agents there desiring
them TO detain her. until the 18th, as he is
obliged to delay hisdeparture in consequence
of the illness of some member Of his family.
He has himself recovered from his late in
disposition. The diplomatic intercourse of
the two countries is thus terminated for the
present.
We learn from the correspondence of the
New York Express, that dispatches have
been forwarded by the Mexican Minister 10
New Orleans, to be sent to the city of Mex
leo, informing the Government of the pas
sage of The Texan Resolution, and it ssaid
that The instant the intelligence is received
there, the Government of Mexico will imme.
d%iately declare war and issue letters of mar.
que and reprisal."
Col. WEBB, ofthe New York Courier and
Enquirer, who is It at present. in Washington
says should Mexico carry out this threat, 'tht
example of France, when the Prince d.
J~oinVille bombarded Vera Cruz, will b.
promptly followed. She admitted the RICH
of Mexico 10 issue such letters; but she CAV,
her formal notice, that every individual act
ing under them who was not a Mexican
would, when captured, be treated as a Pirate
Such a determination by our Government
would deter a resort to SO desperate a pho
ceeding." :

FATAL DUEL.-The Columbia Carroll

MAN says:
An affair of honor came ofne ar the Hamp-
ton Course, at Augusta, on Thursday, the goth
ult., between Major John Partlow, of Able
vile District, and John G.. Burton, Esq, of
Newberry District, s. C.-They taught with
MUsKETs, at ten PAGES, and Mr.. Burton fell
MORALLY wounded at the first fire. He was
conveyed to Hubbard's Hotel, Hamburger,
and died in len hours afterwards. Both Of
these gentleman had married each Others
sisters, and the difficulty which led 10 this IA
tai result, is said to have originated in pri.
vate affairs, of which the public should know
nothing. The mode of fighting was chosen
by Mr.. Burton, and to say the least of it, was
barbarous and almost unprecedented. A
relative of Mr.. Burton, Lieut.. Goggins, ofthe
u. S. Army, fell in a similar ~recontre, year:
ago, on which occasion this unusual weapon
was used, and We imagine he derived the
precedent from the affair.

GThe illumination by our citizens on
Thursday evening last, on account of the
passage of our Canal Bill, was a most bril-
liant affair, every way worthy of the occas-
ion. The notice given our citizens TO light
up was short, yet there was scarcely a win
dow in our tow that did not pour forth a
food of light. From the nverthe effect was
very imposing, and caused steamboat passen-
gers to open their eyes-several of them
asked if Miller's day had actually come al
last-as if the last day would make its ap
pearance at that hour of the night.
The ball on the evening following, given
at the Exchange Hotel, by MIR. Willard Car
penter, was numerously attended. Bache
lors and Renedicts were there by scores, ant
a bevy of beautiful danes and demoiselles-
all of whom seemed to enjoy themselves tt
the utmost 1t was, altogether, the best go
up affair of the kind we ever attended, thi
place, and reflects great credit ON the public
spirit and liberality of the host for the even
ing.

BIRNEY, the Abolitionist, thus lamely apol
ogizes for his political course during the
la;e Presidential election.
'sBut suppose we had all voted for Mr..
Clay-suppose him elected and Texas kept
out-where would have been the Liberty
party? Scattered among slave holders and
their allies without having accomplished any
thing. The Liberty party would not have
been in existence at this time. 1t would
have been completely dissolved"
We do not knew whether this concession
makes Mr.. Birney or his cause appear more
contemplate.

Mr.. Polk has not yet Withdrawn the nomi-
nations made by Mr.. Tyler, and which were
left Enacted upon. 1t has got out that he
does not do so, because he wants the Senate
to confirm his brother, (Wm. P. Polk,) who
was nominated by Mr.. Tyler for the charge
to Naples, and until that is done he hesitates
to withdraw the others. The hint was given
to the Senate yesterday, but they did no
