POETRY.

he COLUMBIAN, New York Magazine, has
following translation from Mexican poet Of
. Cruz. The verses have much poe,ical merit,
"RIO BRAVO"
A MEXICAN LAMENT.
Rio Bravo! Rio Bravo!
Saw men ever such a sight?
Since the field of Roncesvalles
Sealed the fate Of many knight
Dark Is Palo Altos story,
Sad Resarca Palma's route,
On those fatal fields so CORY,
Many gallant life went out
There our best and bravest lances,
Shivered 'gainst the Northern steel,
Left the valiant hearts that couched them
Meath the Northern chargers heel.
Rio Bravo! Rio Bravo!
Minstrel ne'er knew such fight,
Since the field of Roncesvalles
Sealed the fate Of many knight.
Rio Bravo, fatal river,
Saw We not while red with gore,
Torrejohn all headless CULVER,
CHASTITY trunk upon thy shore2
Hcn~d We not tho wounded coursers
ohrieking on your trampled banks,
AS the Northern wing'd artillery
Thundered on our shattered ranks!
There Arista, best and bravest,
There Raguena, tried and true,
On the fatal field thou lavest,
Nobly did all men could do.
Vainly there those heroes rally,
CASTLE on Montezuma's shore,
"Rio -ssRoncesvalles,''
We are names blent evermore.
Weepest thou lorn lady Inez,
For thy lover mid the slain,
Brave La Vegas trenchant falchion
Cleft his slayer to the brain.
Brave La Vega, who all lonely,
BY host Of foes beset,
Yielded up his sabre only
When his equal there he met.
Other champions not less noted,
Sleep beneath that sullen wave;
Rio Bravo thou hast floated
An army to an ocean grave.
On they came, those Northern horsemen,
On like eagles toward the sun,
Followed then the Northern bayonet,
And the field was lost and won.
o! for Orlando's horn to rally
His Paladns on that sad shore,
"Rio "Roncesvalles,"
Ye are names blent evermore.

RE-DIS1RICTING THE STATE.

1t will be seen from the letter of our intelli-
gent Raleigh correspondent that the Federal
lists in the Legislature are in earnest about re-
districting The bill is already before the
Legislature, and from the letter above alluded
to, our readers will perceive how the new dis
tricts are to be constituted. And here, we take
occasion to say, that never has the good old
State of North Carolina been so disgraced be-
fore as by the act of which we are now speak
ing. For we agree with our correspondent
that the act will be consummated in all its gla-
ring wickedness by the Federal party. But
we warn the leaders of that party to look out
for the consequences Let them remember that
the people of North Carolina are neither SO
ignorant nor so insensble to the fair fame Of
their State as to permit such an unparalleled
act of disgraceful injustice to be perpetrated
under their very noses, without visiting upon
the heads of its authors the eXecratlon which
the act merits Let the reader just look at the
manner in which the State is Gerrymandered,
to subserve the ends of political demagogues
and aspirants. We have taken the pains 20
compare the votes of the various counties, and
taking the election Of last August as basis
of calculation, the present scheme gives to the
Democrats just tro O districts out of the nine
in the State. Mr.. Rayner, the introducer Of
this Infamous scheme, we Learn, is to be the
next Wing candidate for Governor. This as
a compensation. Well, let Mr.. Rayner and
his brother Federalists beware of the storm
which this act will raise in North Carolina.
We warned and beseeched our Democratic
friends throughout the State, during last sum-
mer, of what would be the consequences OF
their apathy, but our warning was not heed
ed. We then told them that the Federalists
would stop at nothing. They believe us 7aoa0.
Just think of throwing the two largest COM
mercial towns in the State Wilmington and
Fayetteville) into one district Did ever politi-
cal profgacy reach such pitch before. II
we were member of the Legislature, before
we would witness the preparation of such an
outrage upon her fair fame, we would resign
our seat. What are our friends in the Legis-
lature going to do in the emergency We
know they are bound hand and foot, but there
is one alternative left We haze Just hinteo
at it. A few days ago we said, " let the Fed
eralists have rope" They are taking it with
a vengeance.
We ask our readers to take up the map O
North Carolina and examine for themselves
the shameful manner in which the State hal
been Gerrymandered. Well done! The Fed
; eralists have given themselves malorltles II
seven out of the nine districts That will do
But we must stop. We cannot write with pa
tience on the subject
