that the cabinet dreadully divided but it merely

Not one word of truth in it. What would the
"New York Courier" have us to dol What the Rich
mond Whig' We have SO often repeated that the
whole story about dssensons in the cabinet is un-
true, that we consider any repetition of the report
to be utterly ridiculous" We have before said
that the report Of discord in the cabinet is false
that it was fable. The whole story, indeed, is
too stale for repetition. How can we contra
dict it, without appearing "savage'" There is
but one word in the language strong enough to ex-
press the mendaci,y of the assertion; but that word
is rather too coarse for Gears polite" five were
to begin with that species of nomenclature, we
should be constantly in the habit of using the
word; for never have we seen 30 many falsehoods
aaoat are propagated by the Washington scrib-
bers and the wing editors. Let US lhensay once for
all, that there are no "dissesions in the Executive
cabinet"there is not one of the Secretaries who is
in sill odor with his colleagues; and surely it is
not the worthy and amiable Secretary whose name
is thus rudely thrust upon the country.

Yesterday evenings western mail brought us three
letiers--all from Cleveland They relate to our ar
tclc of the 9th ulimo. One letter is from friend
to our late Cleveland correspondent who is pleased
with the contents Of our article; the two others
are from the two gentlemen (the two officers
of the government who are supposed to be
alluded to in the former letter of the Cleveland cor
respondent. These two gentlemen complain Of the
contents of the letter. They deny the accuracy of
its statements, and US that our correspondent
had attempted to misead u.s. One Of these letters says
that, ain reference to yourself and the Washington
Union, have heard no complaint; nor is there any,
to my knowledge, in this section Of Ohio; but, on
the contrary, the democracy Of the Reserve point
with just pride to the bold and courteous manner
which it advocates democratic doctrines. That a
band Of disorganizers have circulated the report that
a new paper was to be started in Washington, is
news here--the first intimation Of such purpose
was received in the Union to-day"
The other letter concurs in this statement, and
of course in the compliment il conveys and the con-
fidence il expresses in the "Union," We need not

Avalanches are frequent, which often not only
carry off passengers, but sweep away the road itself
The melting Of the SHOWS in spring are also destruc-
tive, rendering the pass extremely dangerous. The
direct length Of the pass from Masdok to Cory is
100 miles. This pass was known to the Romans,
and described by Pliny. Strabo states that it took
four days to cross it, At its highest point is found
the old castle Of Darrell, which some suppose to
occupy the ancient site Of Piio CaspiG of the Ro-
mans Pliny says, so narrow is the pass at this
point, an iron gate might be made to close IT, The
Russians improved, and crossed it with carriages IN

Ter il is impossible. II evident that long this
pass can be so easily defended and blocked up by an
enemy like the Crcassians, occupying the contigu-
Gus territory on the north slope of the mountains,
II can never be used by the Russians with safety.
Their policy, therefore, is to drive the Circassians
out Of the country and plant their own serfs on it,
to occupy their homes, &c. As fast as the Rus
slams can make prisoners Of them, they either put
them to the sword, or exile them for life to the
mines of Siberia. aE
The contest, therefore, on the part Of the unhappy
and l-ated Circassians, is a death struggles con.

A beautiful superstition prevails among
the Irish, that he who happens to find a
four-leaved Shamrock becomes possessed
Of the magic power TO crafty all his wish
es by his mere command. Lover, the po-
ct, in the benevolence of his heart, has said
that if ne were the lucky finder, he would
use the power for the good Of mankind, IN
this wise:-
To wurth he would give honor;
He'd dry the mourner's tears,
And to the paIid lip recall
The smile Of happier years;
And friends that had been long estranged,
And hearts that had grown cold,
Should meet again like parted streams,
And mingle as Of Old
And thus he'd use the enchanter's power
To scatter bliss around,
And not tear or aching heart
Should in this wide world be found.

NV Love.

Not as all other women are,
Is she that to my soul is dear;
Her glorious fances come from far
Beneath the silver evening-star-
And yet her heart is ever near.
Great feelings hath she of her own,
Which lesser souls may never know;
God giveth them TO her alone,
And sweet they are as any tone
Wherewith the wind may choose to blow.
Yet in herself she dweleth not,
Although no home were half so fair;
No simplest duty is forgot,
Life hath no dim and lonely spot
That does not in her sunshine share.
She doeth little kindnesses
Which most leave undone or despise;
For naught that sets one heart at ease,
And giveth happiness or peace,
Is low esteemed IN her eyes.
She hath no scorn of common things,
And though she seem of other birth,
Round MS her heart entwines and clings,
And patiently she folds her wings
To tread the humble paths Of earth,
Blessing she Isl God made her so!
And deeds of weekday holiness
Fall from her noseess as the snow,
Nor hath she ever CHANGED to know
That aught were easier than to bless.
She is most fair, and thereunto
Her life doth rightly harmonize
Feeling or thought that was not true
Meier made less beautiful the blue
Unclouded heaven OF her eyes.
On nature doth she muse and brood,
With such still and love. clear eye
She is so gentle and so good
The very flowers in the wood
Do bless her with their sympathy.
She is woman; one IN whom
The apring-time OF her childish years
Hath never lost its fresh perfume,
Though knowing well that life hath room
For many blights and tears,
xAnd youth in Aer a home will find
Her soul is not Of that weak kind,s
Which better love the lie behind
Than that which is, or lssto be.
/ love her with love as still
As a broad rivers peaceful might,
Which by high tower and lowly mill
Goes wandering at its own will
And yet doth ever flow Alright.
And on its full deep breast serene,
Like quiet isles my duties lie;
1t flows around them, and between,
And makes them'fresh, and fair, and gree

OThc Lewis F. Linn left Glasgow on
Saturday evening, April 18th; on Wed.
nesday, 10th, at 6 p. NJ, struck log or
stump one mile below South Point, which
caused her 10 leak SO badly that it was
found necessary to throw overheard por-
ton of her cargo-about four hundred bar
rels of wheat, and other articles, which
enabled her 10 resume her journey.
The passengers have drawn up card
for publication, in which they testify, that
the lighting of the boat, after she met with
the accident, by throwing overheard four
hundred barrels of wheat, forty barrels OF
lard and pork, and lot of tobacco, which
constituted her deck load, was, in their
judgment, the only course that could be
pursued, to prevent the boat from sinking,
and becoming total loss.
She reached ST. Louis with about fifty
tons of freight in damaged condition and

LATE FROM MExIco.-The arrival at
New Orleans of the schooner Water Witch,
from Vera Cruz, furnished Mexican papers
of a late date-which, however, the Tropic
says, contained not word of news. Pas
sengers in the Water Witch spoke of the
war spirit in Mexico, as if it were reality.
According to their accounts, the Mexicans
were eager for war with the United States.
The day previous to the sailing of the
Water Witch, British man. of-war was
dispatched from Vera Cruz in all haste, for
Texas, with secret message from the
Mexican government. The purport of the
message was reported 10 be an offer of that
government to acknowledge the independ-
ence Of Texas on condition that she is not
to be annexed 10 the United States.
Nothing definite was known as 10 SANTA
ANNA's fate: the impression seemed to be,
that he would not fare SO badly as had been
anticipated.
