CAPT. MAYS ACCOUNT OF HIS

The New Orleans Bee contains the follow
ling ehancterists account from Capt. May, ol
his famous charge Of the Mexican battery:
"Having had the pleasure of a long conver-
saton with Capt. May, we finally asked him
to give US description Of his charge. that we
might get the exact particulars. The gallant
Captain twisted about his long beard. evident

hesitation, said:
why you see, the fact is, any Of the boys
would have given their lives to have had the
chance to have charged the batteries, only |
was the lucky one in getting the order. After
the old man gave the order, l rode down the

ARRIVAL Or RoREiGN VESSELS OF VAR
The Dutch schooner Of war, Adder Capt,
Knollaert, came up the bay in fine stile on
Monday afternoon, saIuting, as she passed,
the U. s. surveying brig Washington and
some Of the forts, but we regret to state that
no disposition was evinced by either to re-
turn the usual civilities, and she was suffer
cd to anchor unnoticed and apparently un-
needed. This, perhaps, is the only civilized
city in the world where such fragrant
breach of naval, or even common courtesy
could be perpetrated. The Adder left the
Scheldt in company with the frigate Saxon,
Capt Willenex, and the brig Of war Echo,
Capt Fredenburg, both bound to this city.

Are singing nov the lythesome birds;
The dew is fresh upon leaf and cup,
So sleeper, pray, "wake up, wake up!"
The fax has thrown its petals wide,
The poppy slipp'd its caps aside,
The grass is hung with gossamer,
And insects bright begin TO stir.
Then sleeper fair, arise arise
The sun is mounting in the skies,
And throws on earth its richest hues,
To CLEAN and glow amid the dew.
The morning air is fresh and fair,
And buoyant from its purity,
And by the aid Of sun and dew,

Now to his palace in the West
The King of Day returns to rest,
Not as when first he rose to slight,
Soaring through the fields of space,
lGladdening all things with the light
Of his ever beaming face;
For when, too bright for mortal eyes,
His noon-tide splendor filled the exuting
skies
Around his car of glittering sheen
No more the glittering hours are seen;
Of all that faithless, feeting train,
True to their Sovereign none remain.
High seated on his fiery throne,
He rides, triumphant, but alone,
Meantime the gorgeous car of state
Through heavens wide champaign slopes It's

Now sinks behind yon towering steep,
Now skirts the margin of the deep,
And now before the Western gate
Stands one broad blaze Of light.
Touched by some all-powerful hand
Slowly the golden gates expand
While echoing from the inmost hail.
Where, duly ranged in order, stand,
Rank above rank, the minstrel band,
A thousand pealing voices raise
The song Of welcome, Joy, and praise,
To Him whose greatness fears no fall,
Who, by his own exhaustless might,
Upholds the planets in their flight,
Yet looks with equal eye on all,
Scattering, with impartial hand,
Blessings o'er many smiling land.
Nor ceased the harmonious strain, until
Sleep closed the Monarch's eyes, and all was
still. a...ggi
While round his royal couch Of state
The courtier Stars III silence wait,
Meek Twilight, in her robe Of gray,
