The HEART. The heart may be
compared toa golden, which, when
well cultivated, presents continued
succession oil fruits, and flowers, that re-
gale the soul and delight the eye; but
when neglected, produclnga crop OF the
most noxious weeds: large and flourish
ing, because their growth is in proper
ton to The warmth and richness Of The
soil, from which they spring. Then
let this ground be properly cultivated,
let the mind of the young and lovely
female be stored with useful knowledge
and The Influence OF woman, though un-
diminished in power; will be like che
diamond Of the desert, sparkling and
pure, whether surrounded by the sands
Of desolalion, forgotten and unknown,
or pouring its refreshingSlreams througl
very avenue Of The social and mora
nbrlC.

PENSACOLA, September 2, Is

ENSACULA3 DePteIHUtI
 Dear Sir:-The steam frigaie Princeton, Captain Enge, left this place yesterday under sealed orders She departed with considerable despatch, and it is generally believed she is the bearer of i'm. portant papers to General Taylor. It is impos- sibe to conjecture their import, though if were genuine Yankee I think could "guess" that they did not portend very seriously of war.
 The Princeton left under steam, without rag of canvass. No smoke, sail or ripple of the water visible, and she beautifully and gracefully rounded the Commodore's frigate she brought 10 my mind most vividly my youthful pictures of the "Phantom Ship" with the Devil on board as the moving pow CT. Nothing else new. Yours, etc.

From the Uunion


 The wings are reduced to great straits in finding some preexIs for raising cIamor against the admin istratlon. They are casting about without success and MT. Polk Is extending his popularity, by taking care o the interests of the country, whilst the whg press seeks m vain to raise the hue and cry upon him. IL IS seizng upon every little circumstance to make the most Of lt-ike the drowning man catch ing at straw. Thus we the National Inie- gencer raising an idle clamor about Mir. Walkers circular; then desperately seziug upon Mir. John- son's instructions respecting the 'Texas mail and charging him with an assumption ofpower, when the act of Congress expressly authorizes the measure. and again raising another clamor about Gen Gaines call for militia upon the governor of Louisi ana, and Gen. Tayior's authority to accent volun- teers from Texasthe last, too, beng expressly au- thorized by the Congress of Texas. We shall ex pose this mornings article of the National Inclli. gencer at our leisure; in the meantime, it is very singular, that whilst the editor of that journal has time to look up articles in other papers, and room 10 transfer them to his own columns-and whilst he honors the "Union" far to republish two oI its articles. he has "remenbered forget" the article in the "Un,on" which expressly aflirms that Gen. Gaines has called for volunteers from Louisiana, iohhom any instructions from Washington. Why this omission? Why assert, in the face of our own dec- laratons, that Gen. Gaines had received ssdiscre- tonary faculty" to make lhe call? The fact is, Mat Gen. C. has acted uioui ordsrs; and be his motives pure Lhey may, hsy erempt hn, from tts my of observation" was gwen 10 Gen. Taylor, and Gen. Gaines ought never to have meddled with his comHand.
