The position of The troops or the state of the de-

We understand that, TO the eye OF The specta-
tor, The view from the Bishops Palace is COM
mandine and snguarly beautiful, embracing the
fields near The town, The heights and suburbs
around it, the town, situated on lower ground,
near The river or creek, and beyond The San Ju-
an, a range OF low hills; and beyond them, in The
distance ranges OF lofty mountains towering TO
the skies. Monterey appears TO be regularly laid
of into streets, some OF which had trenches in
them, &C., 10 delay our invading army. The
houses are generally one story high, with para
pets in front, thus making partial fortification
from The rools-the population estimated at about
10000. Most OF its citizens, particularly the
women had retired before our army approached.
The suburbs are well cultivated, and on the side
which WORMS division approached, Gen. ArisIa's
palace appeared striking in its appearance, and
ornamented with flowers and orange trees.

POETICAL.

JOHN RANDOLPH, OF ROANOKE.
LIMBS WRITTEN At HIS GRAVE.
Sleeps he here on W hose lips Sena,es have hung,
Enraptured and spell-bound, with wits brilliant
What rests here in silence that soul-!hrilling
tongue
Whose echo's could gladden., or scar, or inspire
No monument rising in sculptured relief,
Is storied with virtues, unknown, unpossesso;
In the kingliest pride OF an Indian chieL,
The granite unhewn tells the spot OF his rest.
Now hushed is that voice whose unmuscal tone
Often startled in wi!dness and victory won
For beneath tall pine Tree reposelh alone
Powhattan's descendant, Virginia's son.
His mind was his kingdom; as the wind s'irreth
FIRE,
His words kindled light, that ireezingly shone,
Congealins sweet friendship-creatins fierce Ire,
Leaving him amid comets, meteor alone.
The blaze of his dark eye can chain us no more,
Or the scorn Of his proud lip raise bushes OF
shame,
For the whitening spell of tina, shrll voice is DER,
And nameless he sleeps in the grave OF his lame.
Der his head waves the pine tree, in emerald
plumes,
And DER il the ravens in harsh murmurs cry,
Al his feet the loved river, whose wid-howef per-
fumes
Are shed through the forest when evening
draws nigh.
Sleep on. fearless man, and forever unbroken
Thy dust shall repose by Vuginia's wave,
And silently guard, with The words thou hast spo-
ken,
The rights OF the freeman the soil OF the brave.
CALEB YouNa.

A CURIOUS FACT IN HORTICULTURE.

Yesterday afternoon (says the N. Y. Evening
Pos,) gentleman residing, we believe, in this CT
ly, brought TO the managers room OF the Ameri-
can Institute four small potatoes which had been
produced 10 the following manner: The gentle
man alluded 10, in the month of May, conceived
that il was necessary 10 cut one or Two more
branches from his grape vine, and he according
y Topped of the unnecessary branches which
caused them TO bleed, and TO remedy this he split
potato into two pieces, one Of which he stuck on
the end OF the bleeding branch. He then tied
rag fast 10 the branch as TO cover The potato md
keep it from falling off, and then left it. The rag
was not disturbed again until day or two since,
when it was removed and found 10 contain crop
Of four small potatoes which had grown from The
piece stuck on the end of the branch. The truth
of the gen,leman's statement is vouched for by
gentleman OF The highest responsibility.
