following manner The state of affairs in that city:
Well, here we are in the ides Of August, with
supeIAuty of sun and not The first symptoms Of
an epidemic. Buildings are rising and the river
is falling; the thermometer is about SO degrees;
the Mexican war fever still higher; mosquitoes
are as busy as bees, and at the present time much
more numerous than suckers; business is as dull

An Army without Guns.

New O,leans correspondent Of the National
InIeIlgencer, states the extraordinary fnct, that,
though Gen. Taylor has a considerable body Of
arliIlersls with him in Texas, they have all been
sent there without their guns! Ii appears that
some or all of The guns that the different de,ach-
ments had with them at their respective points Of
embarkation from tue United States were either
not of the proper kind Of calibre, or from some
cause were not suitable; and that others TO sup.
ply their place were to be shipped from the
North, but which had not yet arrived.
In relation to this the Union says that the for.

A Beautiful Figure.

Life is beautifully compared to fountain fed
by thousand streams that perish if one be dri.
ed 1t is silver cord twisted with thousand
strings that part asunder if one be bIoken. FraiI
and thoughtless moTtals are surrounded by innu-
merab!e dangers, which make it much more
strange that they escape so long, than that they
almost perish suddenly at last. We are encom.
passed with accidents every day 10 crush th"
mOuldering tenements we inhabt. Seeds OF
death are planted in our constitution by nature
The earth and the atmosphere whence we draw
the breath of our life is mpregnaed with death,
health is made to operate its own destruction.
The food that nourishes the body contains the
elements of its decay. The soul that animates
it by vivifying fire tends ro wear it out by its
own action; death turks in ambush along ouI
paths. Notwithstanding this is the truth so pal
pably confirmed by daily examples before our
own eyes, how little do we lay it to heart. We
see our friends and neghbors perish among us
but how seldom does il occur to our Thoughts
that ours shall, perhaps, give the next fruitlcss
warning to the world.

HISTORICAL.
THE BATTLE OF SARATOGA.

After collecting 80 days. provisions, Burgoyne
passed the Hudson and encamped at Saratoga.
Gates, with numbers already equal, and contnu-
ally augmentIng, began 10 advance towards him
with resolution to oppose his progress at the
risk Of battle. He cncamped at Saltwater, and
Burgoyne fastened forward to open his way with
his sword. On the 18th of September the two
armies we're within four miles of each other
Two days after, skirmshes between advanced
parties terminated in an engagement almost ge-
neral, in which the utmost efforts of the British
merely enabled them to maintain the footing of
the preceding day.
Burgoyne, unassisted by the British forces un-
der Clinton, at New York, found himself unable
to pursue his march down the river, and in the
hope of this assistance was content TO remain in
his camp, and stand on the defensive. His army
was likewise diminished by the deseron of the
Indians and the Canadian militia, to less than
one-haIf of its original number. Gates, finding
his forces largely increasing, being pentifully
supplied with provisions, and knowing that Bur-
goyne had only limited store, which was rapid
ly essenng, and could not be recruited, was not
without hopes that victory would come, in time,
even without battle. His troops were 50 hume.

treat Of the enemy, by occupying the strong posts
in his rear. Accordingly nineteen days passed
without any further operations, delay as ruin

other. AT the end of this period, the British ge,

as ever, and the consumption of his stores so
alarming, that retreat or victory became una.

On the Sth of October a warm action ensued,
in which the British were every where repulsed,

THE MUSES. BOWER.
TO MY BABE.

BY DELTA.
There is no sound upon the night
As, by the shaded lamp trace,
My babe, in infant beauty bright,
The changes of thy sleeping face.
Hallowed for ever he the hour
To us. throughout all time to come,
Which gave us thee living flower
To bless and beautify our home.
Thy presence is charm, which wakes
new creation to my sight;
Gives light another look, and makes
The wither'd green, the faded bright.
Pure as lily of the brook,
Heavens signet on thy forehead lies,
And Heaven is read in every look,
My daughter, of thv soft blue eyes.
In sleep thy little spirit seems
To some bright realm to wander back,
And seraphs, mingling with thy dreams,
Allure thee to their shining track.
Already like a vernal flower
see thee opening to the light,
And day by day, and hour by hour
Becoming more divinely bright
Yet in my gladness stirs a sigh,
Even for the blessing of thy birth,
Knowing how sins and sorrows try
Mankind, and darken o'er the earth!
All, little dost thou ween, my child,
The dangers OF the way before,
How rocks to every path are piled,
Which few, unharm'd, can Chamber o'er.
Sweet bud Of beauty! how oft wilt thou
Endure the bitter tempestS strife!
Shall thy blue eyes be dim'd-thv brow,
Indented by the cares of life!
If years are spared to thee-alas!
1t may be-ah! it must be SO;
For all that live and breathe, the glass
Which must be quaff'd. is drusg'd with woe
Yet ah if prayers could aught avail,
So calm thy skies of life should be,
That thou should st glide beneath the sail
OF virtue, on a stormless sea.
And ever on thy thoughts. my child,
The sacred truth should be impress'd-
Grief clouds the soul to sin beguiled,
Who liveth best, God loyeth best.
Across thy path, Religions star
Should ever shed it's healing ray,
To lead thee from this worlds vain jar,
To scenes of peace and purerday.
Shun vice-the breath of her abode
Is poisoned, though with roses strewn,
And cling to Virtue, though the road,
Be thorny- boldly travel on!
For thee ask not riches-thou
Vert wealthy with a spotless name;
ask not beauty-for thy brow
Is fair as my desires could claim.
Be thine spirit loathing guilt,
Kind, independent, pure and free
Be like thy mother-and thou wilt
Be all my soul desires to see!

Ahe DfOneS anu the working GLASS.
In the following selection from Shelly's Queen
NAB, we have made a slight change to give il
application TO The condition. of the hives in our
drone-affiicted nation:
Those gded flies
That basking in the sunshine of monopoly,
Fatten on lis curruptlon-what are they?
The drones of the community. They feed
On the mechanics labor; the starved hind
For them cOmpels the stubborn soil to yield
Its unshared harvests; and yon squad form,
Leaner than feshess misery that wastes
sunless life in the unwholesome mine,
Drags out in labor protracted death,
To glut their grandeur; may faint with toll
The few may know the cares and woes Of sloth.
Whence thinkest thou bankers and parasites
arose?
Whence that unnatural hive of ones, who heap
Toll and unvanquishable penury
On those who build their palaces, and bring
Their daily bread?
From special privilege and vice, black loathsome
vice;
From rapine, madness, treachery and wrong;
From all that genders misery and makes
OF earth this thorny wilderness, from lust
Revenge and murder.
And when reasons voice,
Loud as the voice of nature, shall have walked
The nations,-and mankind perceive that vice
Is discord, war and misery--that virtue,
Is peace and happiness and harmony
When mans maturer nature shall disdan
The playthings of its hIdhood~-kingy glare,
The sp,endor of successful fraud, the pomp o
wealth,
Will lose their power to dazzle-heir authority
viii silently pass away-the gorgeous throne
Shall stand unnotced in the regal hall,
Fast falling to decay, faIsehood's trade
Shall be as hateful and Improbable
As that of truth is now.

Fires

A fire broke out in the shop Of L. B.
Austin s. Co., near the store Of S. & P.
Lindemuth, on Saturday last. Vigorous
efforts were Immediately made BY our citi-
zens to check its progress, which were
successful. All the windows in the shop
were broken out, and large quantity Of
furniture thrown out and damaged. The
loss to Austin & Co. was about one hum
dred dollars.
Another fire occurred OH Monday night
last. A house belonging to f. d. Rand
was entirely consumed. These accidents
ought to admonish all to be extremely care
ful Of fire. For if one should break out
in this city and get well under way in time
Of high wind, it would evidently have its
own way. There is nothing here to op-
pose it. In such case ''the Hook and
Ladder company would be hardly breast
work enough to oppose its ravages.
