the men who were employed in sweeping the streets
in the cinity of Delaney, Stanton, Rivlngton, and

Ma. SALIeNr AND HIS MASTER LOUIS PBILIPPE.--
The New Orleans Courier says: "We believe the
Jefiersonian is right in supposing that Louis Phil
ppc King Of the French will not sanction the ultra
oficiousuess Of his servant, Mr.. Saligny, charge
daffaires 10 Texas, in meddng with the question Of
annexation between that republic and the United
States. His conduct is quite undiplomatic, at all
events. What right has he to interfere so openly
and rudely in this busnessi Who constituted him
an umpire beiwixt Texas and Mexicoi Louis Phil
ippe is man Of sense, wise, well meaning mon
arch, far from unfriendly, either to the United
States or Texas; and we cannot believe but that
when he is made acquainted with the impairment
conduct Of this sprig Of diplomacy, he will never
again give him opportunity Of repeating IL. As
to Elliott, the British charge nobody expected any
thing else from him. 1t is his vocation run counter
10 the interests Of the United States, and he is ex
expressly instructed by his government to do so.
n e otherwise with Monsieur Sagny---as we trust
he win discover before many moons pass over his
head.

occurred in De Soto county Mississippi on the 18th
instant, destroying everything in its course Itpass-
ed over SouthalI. Manning, Stokes, Smith, Alanson

On most Of these and other plantations, the young
cotton, corn, garden, and other plants are entirely
destroyed. Mr.. Trigg had $50 acres of corn, &C.,
entirely ruined. In some places, 100 to 200 trees
were blown down on a single acre. and not leaf is
left on tree or shrub. The hail was near three
inches deep the ground in the morning, and birds
killed by the hail were scattered over the ground
The hail stones are represented as having BEEN on
an average, larger than bullets, or as large as
partridge eggs. The hail in places lay in drifts
near three feet high.--Pennsyiranian

"Go FORTH MIRO THE COUNTRY

sfieai rsmains Of fhs late Mrs james Gray, IN d
Dublin University Magazine.
Go forth into the country.
From world Of care and guile;
Go forth to the untainted air,
And the sanshine's open smile.
II shall clear thy couded brow;
II shall loose the worldly coil
That binds thy heart too closely up,
Thou man Of care and toll
90 forth into the country,
Where gladstone sights and sounds
Make the hearts pulses thrill and leap
With iresher, quicker bounds.
They shall wake hesh life within
The minds enchanted bower;
Go, student OF the midnight lamp,
And try their magic power.
Go forth into the country.
With its songs OF happy birds,
Its fertile wales. It's grassy hills,
Alive with focks and herds.
Against the powers Of sadness
Is its magic all arayed;
Go forth, and dream no Idle dreams,
Oh, visionary maid
Go forth into the country,
Where the nuts rich clusters grow.
Where the strawberry nestles mid the furze,
And the holly.berries glow.
Each season hath its treasures,
Like thee, all free and wild;
Who would keep thee from the country
Thou happy, artless child'
Go forth into the country.
II hath many a solemn grove
And many an altar on Its hills,
Sacred 20 peace and love.
And whilst with grateful feryor
Thine eyes Its glories scan,
Worship the God who made il ALL
