A RoUNDELAY FOR MONTERREY.

A R0UNDELAY FOR MONTEREY.
When Resaca's bloody field
Crown'd the glory Of the day,
PalO Aho's cannon peal'd
On the eighth and ninth OC May!
There was culI'da laurel wreath,
Which ad0Tns nation now,
Whose dawRing buds were puck'd beneath
The fire and sword of many brow;
Whose early Spirit of glory shed
lu5tre on the days of May,
Aud reap'd harvest amidst the dead,
Beneath the walls of Monterey
Where The Rio Grande's wave
Rolls along the CORY shore,
And the LAUREL and the grave
Crowns the battle evermori
There host of heroes fell,
Charging deadly on the foe,
Or, ',~idst the waving chapparal,
Laid their neTce assailants low;
Then with the eighth and ninth of May,
Wen add Ghaplet TO the wreath
For those who fought at Monterey,
Or found soldiers grave beneath
From the citadel and tower
From the palace and the wall
Where the cannon IS fiery shower
Herald many brave mans fall,
There, The stony street all red,
As the Rios bloody wave,
Will tell how nobly died and hed,
Those who fought and found grave!
Then with these proud days of May,
Wen add chaplet eff the wreath,
For those who fou. hit at Monterey,
Or found a soldiers grave beneath!
There will beat FIR those who bled
Many loving heart and dear
For every drop of blood that shed,
There will fall Nations tear
For the noble host deplored,
A country will as freely yield
It's tribute, as her children p0ur'd
Their blood upon the battle field!
Then with the eighth and ninth of May,
Wen add chaplet TO the wreath.
For those who fought at Monterey,
Or found a soldiers grave heReath!

CALIFORNIA RYE. They have been growing

sent from that country, said to Surpass any
grain of that kind ever planted. Oneeighth
of an acre in Talefero county produced thirty
six bushels. The heads are immensely large
and so heavy that it is necessary to SOW the
seeds very thick. When the growth is thin,
the stalks are protracted by the weight of the
ears. When sown thick, they support each
other.

THE CLAY Static.

IL gives us great pleasure TO announce TO those
who have taken interest in the effort so credita-
bic to the Ladies of Virginia. to perpetuate in mar
Ole the features of our GREAT STATESMAN. that the
contract Tor the completion of the Statue as speedi-
ly as practicable, has been, within few DAYS mast
hnaiiy made with Mr.. JoEr. d. HART. the Ken
lucky sculPtor-whoSe competency for the task is
avouched, as well by an examination of the admi.
rable productions OF his untaught genius as by the
concurrng opinions OF connoisseurs and professional
ainsts In regard to their superiority both in con-
cepton and execution. Mr.. Hart left this CITY n
lew days ago on his return to Kentucky, with the
intention OF proceeding forthwith to the perform
ance OF the grateful duty devolved upon him by the
Ladies OF Virginia After making mould in plas-
'er 0i ms liiustrious counryman, Mr.. III. will inn
medaeiy embark for Italy, for the purpose Of CONF
peting work, destined hereafter TO be one of the
ornaments OF our Metropolis, and an enduring mo-
nmhen OF the enthusiastic homage paid BIZ the La
dies OF Virginia to Patriotism Genius, COURAGE and
integrity, embodied in the person of the nobest
man of the Age-a man who by his brilliant pub,ic
career and by his private virtues has refuted the
maxim OF Scion, that ''none can be secure from de-
generacy until death has put its seal upon his cha
Iacter."
1t is believed that there are many persons. who,
from an apprehension that the work would not be
undertaken, or from some other cause have not vet
AIDED IN tins generous tribute of admiration from
Virginia to her most illustrous living son. and il ia
possible that there small sums collected for the
purpose in the hands of individuals in different
parts OF the State, which have not vet been for
warded to the Treasurer in this city As it is desi-
rable that those who have undertaken tbe tssl, NJ
supervising the execution OF the Statue. and of
making all the needful arrangements, after it shall
be received from the scuptors hands, to place il in
sH'"be position, should know as speedily as pos
soie the entire amount of the fund dedicated to the
uueflifihg, we ask, In their name, that all who
nave not yet subscribed, and who propose to do So
shall act promptly. and that persons who may have
collected and not forwarded money, to be dedicated
to this object shall transmit It, as soon as practica
ole' to Wm; H. mcfarland. Esq, treasurer or to
Clay Fund in this city. We may add, that all
though the sum hard is sufficient TO remtnerate
the sculptor, yet there will arise contingent expenses
In the transportation of the Statue and in providnr
suitable spot upon which to erect it after its arr
val which may require large additional sum-
we hope, therefore, that this appeal will be prompt
~ and literally responded to-H2ich. yhir.

the battles OF the 9Th and 9th of May He was on

young pointer dog belonging to Major Brown. who
fell during the Commandment of the fort opnosite

When the remains Of this gallant soldier were
entombed his pet dog, that had lain near the spot
where the Major was suffering until he was horne

every where for the living form of his master. and

business OF his burial he waited until the sad rites
were over, and then coiling himself up, he laid
down at the foot OF the flag staff, upon the turf
which covered the remains of the brave Major. and
sent forth his howl of grief until the hearts of all
VINO heard HIM Were impressed with fresh sensa
toh OF sorrow. Paldi intends 10 present him to
Gen. Brooke.
On the 9Th. Paldi having given up his horse to
an oiflcer, was mounted on mule, and was attend
