Extract Of letter from an officer in our ar
my, to the Spirit Of the Times, dated:

A CGNeREss OF METEoRs.-1t appears
by the following that the heavens are being
traversed by new comets. Sir John South j,
of Kensington; England, mentions having
seen, at about the 18th inst. two comets,
which, when the air was clear, were dis
tinctly seen with the naked eye. The Lon
don AthenRum abiding to this Circumstance
says, "a congress of mteors, OF the highes,
class, is assembling in the heavens. What
can this crowding together ofcomets mean!
Two more have been detected-Herr Brorsen
at Kiel, on the Goth ult., and the other by
Signcr de Vico himself an Rome, on the
1Oth-following so nearly the same track in
the heavens that the one may be easily ia
ken for the other. These make the third
and fourth comets which, in the absence Of
moonlight would now be visible above the
horizon Immediately afterd
The probability is that the greatest num-
Der of comets visible is not essentially
greater than the same extent and care of
observation would have detected at any
former lime. 1t must be remembered that
The heavens are heedfully scanned now by
a multitude Of observers, and with far more
powerful instruments than were known in
any preceding age.

MOST AWFUL TORNADO THIRTY OR
FORTY LIVES LOST.

We learned last evening, through most re-
spectacle commercial firm of this city, that on
the evening Of the 7th inst, a tornado passed
over Grenada beautiful village in Yalabu-
sha county, Mississippi, with population Of
about loo inhabitants-while most of the
children were at school. demolishing the
churches and academies, and very many Of the
dwellings The teacher Of the male school,
Mr.. Sample, was killed, and many Of his pu!'
pills have persisted. Mrs. F. Plummer, the
teacher OF the female school, with many of the
children under her charge. were killed. Mr.
Robinson lost his father, wife. sister and child.
From 30 to so persons are ascertained to have
persisted. The msngled remains of many OF
Inc bodies had not been identified. and several
persons were missing. A very imperfect list
Of names has reached US On the outside of
letter to friend 10 written the words: "Gre-
NADIA is in ruins aud many of her inhabitants
are DESTROYED; names cannot be given nor num-
bers set down" The most awful desolstion
pervades the town and the hearts Of its citizens.
We entertain great hopes that the loss Of life
may have been exaggerated, but fear the worst.
II is the most deplorab.e calamity we have had
to record for several years.-vG q. Pic. lofh.

THE WAR WITH MEXICO.

OF all Wars ever fomented, we remember
none more nefarious 10 its origen, more wan
ton and atrocious, than that in which we are
now plunged by our Rulers and the Land. Job.
bers and Slave Jobbers, whose money, exer.
tons and lies have made those instruments of
their cupidity our Rulers. The bloody vllainy
Of some Wars was measurably redeemed BY the
daring, evinced in commencing them; but this
War is al cowardly as it is wicked. A veal
thy, enlightened and powerful Republic of
twenty millions of People is attempting to hum
BILE and despoil an ignorant, enfeebled, distract
ed Nation of Seven Millions and these in good
part semi narbarous Aborigihes of this Cont
nent! The giant who should beat cripple
would be hero in comparison.
Just think Of the pretexts for this War, OF
which the cry OF injuries unredressed 10 the
most specious. though utterly deceiliul. Mex.
leo owes certain present or former citizens Of
the United States several millions for property
illegally taken or destroyed within her borders
The claimants went to Mexico to trade or man
ufacture, and, in the Military connections there
so frequent, their property has been unjusiy
confiscated or destroyed. Although the Mexi-
can Nation did not authorize this spoilatioD, it
is fairly bound to make it good. just as Massa-
chusetts ought to pay for the Convent, and Phil
adelphia for the Churches that fell prey 10
mob violence within their borders Mexico
does not dispute the justice OF the claim on
the contrary. she has fully admitted it. adjusted
the amount, paid part Of it. and was going on
opay the residue, when we broke up our friend
!y relations by uniting our destinies with those
Of the Texans, a. people with whom she was
openly at War, She fairly and seasonably warn
ed us that she should consider such Annexation
an act OF War: our own leading Statesmen. Of
all parties, gave US like warning. But we
rushed on to, Annex. in defiance of every warn
ing, and not only took Texas, hut claimed a
great deal with it which never belonged to
Texas. Thus wronged and meoaced. Mexi-
cowithdrew her Minister and stopped paying
the installTaents dueus. She surely ought
TO pay; but shall we, while several Of our
States openly repudiate their Public Debts.
and refuse to make provision even for paying
the lnieresf-while even our General Govern
ment refuses to pay our own plundered citizens
the very sums due them for old French Spoila-
tons, assumed by the Federal Government IN
the Louisiana Treaty more than forty years ago |;
shall we butcher Mexicans because their hank
rupt Government has not US in fullior SPoilations
! committed within the last dozen years!
The refusal to receive Mr. Slidell is another
false pTetcxt for this War. Mexico only con.
sented to receive Special Commissioner TO at

ing Withdrawn her own Minister from Wash.

MUSINGS.
BY AMELIA d. wEI.BY.


! wandered out one summer night,
Twas when my years were few =.
The breeze was singing in the light,
And was 81 .lging too.
The moonbeams lay upon the hill,
The shadows in the vale,
And here and there leaping rill
Was laughing on the gale.
One feecy cloud upon the air,
Was all that met my eyes
1t ttoated like an angelIhere,
Between me and the skies.
l clapped my hands and warbled wild,
AS here and there few,
For was but careless child,
And did a. children do.
The wavescame dancing DER the sea,
In bright and glittering bands;
Like little children wild with glee.
They linked their dimpled hands.
They linked their hands-but ere Icaught
Their sprinkled drops of dew,
They kissed my feet. and quick as thought
Away the ripples few.
The twilight, hours like birds few by.
AS lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten thousand in the sea;
For every wave with dimp'ed cheek.
That leaped upon the air,
Had caughta starin its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
The young moon too with up,urned sidos,
Her mirror d beauty gave;
And as bark at anchor rides,
She rode upon the wave.
The sea was like the heavens above,
As perfect and as whole,
Save that It seemed to thrill withlove,
AS thrills the immortal soul.
The leaves, by spirit-voices stir'd,
Made murmurs on the air.
Low murmurs, that my spirit heard.
And answered with a prayer.
For twas upon the dewy sod,
Besed the moaning seas,
Learned ut first to worship God,
And sing such strains as these.
The flowers, al. folded to their dreams,
Were bowed in slumber free,
By breezy hills and murmuring streams,
Where e'er thev CHANGED to be.
No guilty tear had they to weep,
No sins to be forgiven;
They closed their eyes, and went to sleep,
Right IN the face Of heaven.
No costly rnyment round them shone,
No Jewels from the seas,
Yet Solomon upon his throne
Was Ser arrnyed like these,
And Just as free from guilt and art,
Were lovely human flowers,
Ere sorrow set her bleeding heart
On this fair world Of ours.
Iheard the laughing wind behind,
APPLYING with my hair
The breezy fingers Of the wind,
How cool and moist they were!
lheard the night.bird wrabling DER
In soft enchanting strain
Inever heard such sounds before,
And never shall again.
Then where fore weave such strains as thes
And sing them day by day,
When every bird upon the breeze
Can sing sweeter lay!
I'd give the world for their sweet art,
The simple, the divine;
I'd give the world to melt one heart
Ashley have melted mine.

We have been not little acquainted with the
course of public opinion in this country, its varia-

seen it often excited, and often allayed. But we
remember no instance-none even connected with
the last war with England, in which the general
feeling Of the community has been so deeply, and
so suddenly excited and reused, as it seems to
have been, by the alarm which the tendency of the
present Revenue Bill, and the dread of its ultimate
success, have spread over the country.

THREE DAYS LATER.

from Liverpool on the 9TH instant, three days after
the Cambria, arrived at New York on Tuesday
morning.
1t does not appear that there have been any poll
teal movements of interest since the Cambria sail
ed. The new Cabinet were going on calmly with
the Government, and the disposition manifest to
let them alone for the present. No question had
come up, however to test its strength or to draw the
party lines, and until such an event did occur no
thing be concluded as to the stability Of the new
Ministry.
The sales Of cotton in Liverpool in three days
after the Cambria sailed amounted to 1900 bales,
without change in price.
