Tyranny.


The petty tyranny which is very frequently
manifested in the army, BY those who happen
to be in authority, must be Calling and loath-
some in the extreme to the spirited volunteers
who entered the service for the Mexican cam
paign. To the heightened and ~cnivalric regi-
menl Of young men from our own spirited
State, acts Of petty oppression towards them,
no doubt causes their blood to boil within t. EN-.
When here, at home, that sentiment,
THY spirit, independence, let me share,
Lord of The lion heart aud eagle eye;
Thy steps follnw with my bosom here,
NQTheed the storm that bowls along the sky,'
prevailed throughout their conduct, having
been ~instilled into them from the lips of their
devoted mothers. To one Of such, how pro-
voking must have been the following scene.
Mr., Newton Ingram was, we believe, the
first young man in our community that enroll
ed bis name for the Mexican service. Altha'
engaged in profitable business here, and sur
rounded by relatives g. friends who loved g. res-
pected him for his b,audness of manners,hi res-
- ALN
pectability, and his great moral worth, he made
o generous obla'ion Of all upon the altar Of his
country's glory, and proceeded to the Rio
Grande with the gallant spirits composing the
"Raymond Fencibles.p He is still there; and,
8 ould the Fencibles be so fortunate as to face
and engage with the enemies of our country,
no one will reflect more credit upon Mississippi
valor,or the transcendont glory of the American
arms, than Newton Ingram.
Two of Mr.. Ingram's brothers were also vol
unteers for the southwestern war They,
however, [being citizens Of Tennessee, were
in one Of the Tennessee regiments. While the
Mississippi Regiment was camped out at Bra
EOS island, knee deep in mud, drinking water
that was unfit for o brute, and scorching under
the rays Of an August sun, Mr.. Ingram was in
formed Of the sickness Of his brothers. AS the
Tennessee encampment was but a shott dis
lance from that Of the Mississippi regim nj,

ANOTHER CouNrERMAND-Mosa BuscLrsa
AND FxPENsE.-O On the 18th Of July, a new re-
QUESTION was made on the Governoro of Missou-
n, for another regiment Of Infantry to assem-
bio a. Fort Leavenworth, for the Santa F6 ex-
petition, and tho order was complied with al
great expense and trouble to the people. Tho
st. Louis Republican of the l4th, says, that
the United States officers in that city have re.
ceived letters from the proper authorities at
Washington, notifying them of the determine
tion Of the government to dispense with the
services of this new regiment, and directing
the men to be mustered out Of service imme.
diately. That paper further says; four Of the
companies are from ST. Louis, and we under.
stand nearly all Of the regiment had arrived at
Fort Leavenworth last Wedn, sday. There
will be when this news is received by them,
some loud talking about the bungling, stupid
manner in which the Government tails for. and

Atthat time there was no probability Of a

for our regiment. Mr., Ingram, without assis-
lance, could have done all the sighting" that
Col. Davis and bis entire regiment have done
up to the latest dates, and visited his sick broth

that there especially, in the neighborhood Of
Fort Adams--for several miles of the river

had found a hopeful successor in the Squirrel.
Countless numbers Of squirrels from q Western
direction had made their appearance therc,-ta-

eating up cotton with q rapidity which would
have put the lnrgeot army Of worms TO blush

Those squirrels had been, for duys, swim

and when they first made their appearance, tie
planters began to kill them in Nos., thinking
themselves in luck with the chance; but When
they found that the squirrel was r~etorting and
killing them by eating their cotton, their tune
was changed and they commenced an open
warfare upon them, not with the view to eat
them, but to drive them away from their tables;
from their fields at all events.

Joke about the Earthquake.

The joston Times, after referring to the
bells rung, houses shaken, and articles Of furni-
ture falling down, in Boston and the neighber-
ing towns from the effects Of the late earth
quake, and to the probability Of our hearing
soon of severe earthquakes in South America,
winds up with a capital story:
"speaking of earthquakes and the mutabili-
ty Of all things here below, reminds us Of an
old monicd man, who formerly lived in this
same city Of Boston. He was quite rich, and in
hard times was wont to lend money to those in
necessity, but also was a most uncomfortable
shylock, und asked always some exorbitant
premium, and would hardly ever be content
with any reasonable security. One time he
agreed to loan a pretty considerable sum TO a
man, and all the preIiminaries were settled ex-
cePt the security. Good notes well endorsed
were offered. No, he could not'take them
men might fail and he should lose his money.
Vessels with cargoes at sea, we'll insured, were
named. No, he wanted no such stuff as that ;hur.
%ricanes and storms might blow them iLto frag-
ments, and the insurance offices burst up.
."What will you take?' cried the borrower, at
last, almost in despair; 81 have some valuable
real estate, will you take that?" "Real eS.
tate,' said the p%roGane cid miser; "Earthguake,
wiH crack, by and by, and your real estate wiH 60

THE REAUTIEUL LAND.

II HI ~ ApA
By THOMAS MAcKELLAR.
There is a land immortal,
The beautiful Of lands;
Beside the ancient portal
A sentry grimly stands,
lie only can undo it,
And open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through it,
Are mortals never more.
That glorious land is Heaven,
And Death the sentry grim;
The Lord therefore has given
The opening keys to him.
And ransomed spirits, signing
And sorrowlUl for sin,
Do pass the gate in dying,
And freely enter in.
Though dark and drear the passage
That leadeth to the gate,
Yet grace comes with the message,
To souls tina, watch and wait;
And, at the time appointed,
A messenger comes down,
And leads the Lords anoinled
From the Cross 10 Glory's crown
Their sighs are lost in singing,
They're blessed in their tears;
Their journey heavenward wingiug,
They leave TO Earth their fears.
Death like an angel seemeth-
"We welcome thee,' they cry;
Their face with glory beameth-
IT'S life for them 10 die

Tns DbTcH F EFT,--The following mention
Of the Dutch vessels Of war now at New York
is made in a letter dated the 9TH inst, in the
National Intelligeneer:
A Dutch squadron, consisting Of a ffigaie,a
brig and schooner, AL Of them noble looking
vessels, Of their respective classes, are now ly-
ing off our battery, having recently arrived on
their way to the Gulf Of Mexico, The officers
Of these vessels, who frequently come on shore,
are fine looking men, and attract considerable
attention as they pass through our Streets
Their uniform, which varies very little from
that worn by our own naval officers, is exceed
ingly neat and imposing; and the b~earingsof
the gallant men who wear it is gen,lemanly
and digni6ed. His Netherland Majesty has
gocd reason 10 be proud Of the specimens he
has sent us Of the Dutch marine, every one OF
whom, that we have seen, being fully worthy Of
the flag under which he serves; and a lair rep
of the Won Tromp school Of bravo
and indomitable men who once bore themselves
boldly, and sometimes successfully, in equal
contest with England's proudest naval heroes.
