THE LAY OF THE VloLETs,
By EDWARD J. PORTER,

By EDwARDJ J. PORTER.
Nis said ttatthc Vioiets lose their scent in May
Where are the joyous zephyrs wings
They wave no longer here;.
With US soft perfumes offerings
They once were wont to share;-
They sighed as lovers sigh around,
And left, our leaves upon,
A wreath of kisses sweelly bound
Where are the zepiiyrs gomez
They loved us in Springs earlier hours,
They whispered ronnd us then;
Though blonmed thousand brighter flowers
In woodland, glade, and glen;
Blu, now the moon Of. do,ers is. .here*
Onr truant loves are hown2
Oh do they still our soft spells wear?
Where are the zephyrs gone
Onr leaves have lost the glorious breaths
That chained the zephyts' wings,
No longer do we weave such wreaths
As the perfume.spirit brings.
Why linger here, when life's bright chain
Hath lost the ray, that shown 7
Our perished sweets we mourn in vain,
With the zephrs' bright wings, gone
The Indian namo Of the month Of May.

steamer Britannia Of May4lh from Liverpool,
was announced by Telegraph from New York
10 Philadelphia. and thatth leading item OF
news b her was the death of Louis Philippe.
The Baltimore Clipper also contains the
abore report. .aDd adds the sad event was i'm
medialely folowed.by a revolution"
1t has been spread through he District,
whether designedly or not, we cannot tell,
that our meeting here on Saturday last. to raise
Volunteers. was very near a failure. Now
we take this occasion 10 say, that such a ru-
NOR is totally unfonnded. We:had a most ad-
,irable meeting and instead Of its having been
broken up in ro,o. il has been asserted,
every, thing was carried on in the best spirit
imaginable. To bes sure. towards the concln-
sion of,he proceedings, there was an animated
little discussion. but if there was anything like
an ill.naturcd controversy, we confess that we
were wholly ignorant Of the fact, although we
were present. There isa very wide difference
between speaking warmly, and speaking IN
anger.
The meeting, from the first, was not intended
to be large one, nor to be meeting OF alltle
citizens of Edgefed. The call which was
made through the papers, was addressed par
,icularly; and in SO many words. to the young
men of the district, in order to give them an
opportunity of volunteering for the Mexican
war. and Of consulting on the preparatory steps
10 be taken, to obtain their reception by the
Presiden, Of the United States; and we here
take the liberty to say, and we are proud To be
able to do so, that several young men OF our &C.
quaintauce who would do honor to any secuon
of the country, most nobIy responded to the
call made upon their patriotism and The II vaiof'
The fact is, we were enabled, almost entirely
to complete that day, one of the best Vo'nn-
,eer companies llath ever been raised IN 'l'ls
part of the State, There were no signatures
obtained in public, nor was there call made
for them in public, but there was handsome
number of as handsome and gallant gentlemen
as there are in the State. who enrolled then
oames as volunteers for the war; both in The
morning and in the evening of Saturday last
Tie meeting was entirely military in It's
character, and i, was got up solely foi The pun
pose we have mentioned, and It s"bserved 'hat
purI,ose ms well as any meeting could have
done under, the circumstances.
We will state iu conclusion. that from the
spiri, and enthusiasm manifested in all pnr's "i
our District, we are morally cerlaia, that when
areorisiiion is made upon South Carolina
for troops, our Old Edgeie!d will no, only be
equal to her dnty, but she will send forth al
most any number Of her sons that may be cal
led for.

A GREAT DISASTER, AND YET
a MIR8CI f.

One Of the most larrble disasters that
has ever been occasioned by the winds o.
Storms, in Ibis part Of The country. occur
red on Thursday. May ID, about s o'clock,
P NJ, on the planlnlion Of MIR. james
Perry, near Perry's Cross Roads, Saluda.
The course of the wind, was about due
North, aud ranging in width, from fifty TO
one hundred yprds.
The following are, as near as can be
gathered, The particulars Of The desolalion
ii spread on the premises Of Mr.. Perry.
His dwelling house was thrown down,
and even The slls were moved. The roofs,
aud few top logs were taken from the
meat house and from the burn. The fenc-
ing, in some places, was swept even to the
bottom rail. Some very large trees were
blowo down; two, in particular, were ia
ken up 10y the roots. aud broken off. and
then carried to the distance of forty or fifty
feet. A wagon. standing near the barU,
was carried some fifty feei, and consider
ably broken. A pig pen was bourne of
with pig in il, neither Of which has ever
been seen since. ABOUT eight nrien BUSH
els Of corn was blown away, and has never
hcen found from that time. The huuse-
hold furniture was nearly all DESTROYED
some blown eu'ireIy off; and large chest
containing the most valuable wearing mp
parel of the family. and all of Mr.. P's
papers, was carried completely away
The chest was broken inro pieces, and
some of its contents were found mile
from the place at which it started.
But strange to relale, although there
were ten in family, none of Them were
killed. Mr.. Perry, bis wife, and lwn chill.
dren, and Two negroes were injured; but
none of them fatally. And what is strans
er still. lwo of The children had gone TO
bed. and the bedstead upon which they
were lying. was blown of and broken.
and The he'd itself was torn iulo atoms.
and the children were thrown into The road
Uilhnul receiving the slghtesr injury
there was not thing killed on The place,
not even chicken, so far as could be as
ccrlilined.
This is certainly, an instance Of the
overriding and wise Providence of God =
For what power could have preserved
the lives of this family. thrown as they
were, in the very midst of such havoc
and ruin. but The mighty power Of Omni-
poience itself?

We are grieved that your feelings

In your lis. Of complaints there You tell US
That the gallant young men, and the gay
Delightful and elegant fellows
Were not asked to the fete of May.day.

You say ufman's presence is made;
Yonr logic we canno, resist. hence

In order our pleasure to heighten,

We may turn 10 the beams thar enlighten
Our being. aud render il blest.
For yon know that we greet viii, mich pleasure
The sun when he breaks from cloud,
In which, in moment of leisure,
lie hides as he would in slIrond.
His beams seem much purer and brighter,
And even the moon seems to smile,
With more exquisite radiance, and lighter,
For being Withdrawn for a while.
You've no reason to fear our intention
To form anti-nar!yng clans;
They are children OF mans own invention,
Aud we do not approve Of their plans.
So speak moi oftrumpetS or torches
And those ciubs. lney are horrible thnssi
The thought of them now almost scorches.
And dries up LIES nolier springs.
We are csriain your nature is better
Dear Tourh me not than to achieve
All you threaten us with in your letter;
For 'twould cause us all deeply to grieve.
Indeed you are ongin believing
That unkinkIy one gent. we would.treat,
And we know that you: ismper's forgiving,
Sc well kiss and shake hands when we meet
