PrDo8ei Steam hrnade for the Gulf Of Mexico

A scheme for constructing a certain
number of armed steam vessels. to be
called the 'Valley Steam Fleet" in-
tending TO issue from the Mississippi,
and operate in the Gulf Of Mexico, Of
fensively and defensively, has, it is
said, been before the Government for
some time. In regard to the details
OF this proposition the New Orleans
Commercial Times makes the follow
ing statement:--
sit appears that il has been propos.
ed to construct dozen iron steamers,
of such magnitude that they vii! each
present a battery on one deck--to use
the words of the projector--''more
formidable than the Pennsylvania ship
of the line. .o--These vessels will have
a draft Of water sufficiently small to
admit OF their crossing the bar Of the
Mississippi, and pass in and out of s
Southern hartors with equal facility.
Their capacity will be $500 tons
each, being 500 tons greater than the
"Great Brltain," at present the largest
steamship in the world. They can
not be sunk by shot; are capable of
carrying provisions and water for six
months for crew of 700 men, ard in
case of offensive operations being de-
cided on, are susceptible Of receiving
each 10000 troops on board. Such
a fleet with the powerful armament
designed for it, would command the
Gulf against the combined navies Of
the world; and would throw, if ueccs.
sary, 10000 men on any point--Cu.
ba, or the adj jacent foreign Islands,
skirt the highway Of communication
between our Atlantic sisters of the
Republic, and make the Gulfas much
our property as if it were lake with
in our own territory. The "Valley
Fleet would form an invulnerable
cline OF battle" for its defence, across
the Straight of Florida, and command
the rear to their place of construction
and supplies, to wit: the Valley of the
Mississippi. The plan is "a magni6-
cent one, worthy this great republic;
and although many. no doubt, will
hastily take it as the dreamy wonder
ings Of a heated imagination--an ar
my of 10000 men. borne by fleet
OF twelve iron vessels--yet has it been
so far proved feasible, that there is
now model OF a vessel, of this pre-
else description, at Pittsburg, which
dares the scrutiny Of the most intelh.
gent, the. most enquiring, the most
sceptical."
!
OF An advertisement in one fthe
country papers Of this State, gives the
following as a part Of the description
Of runaway apprentice. "He is thick
set, usually wears glazed hat five
feet high, and iron shoes with crossed
eyes" If he should come into our
streets he would be easily recognize &c

love the fac old forest,
That for centuries hath stood,
And waved It's lofty branches
Grandy in the solitude;
Mid lis glories and its graces,
a stately grandeur dwells,
And natures hand there traces
All her bright and magic spells.
Its shades arc full of voices,
Ever ringing joyous out;
From lis trembling whispered breahings
To the storm's wid, hoisterous shout
And lis notes so deeply thrilling,
From the dark recesses start,
And swell through other. stillng
The quick beatlngs of the heart.
When the gorgeous robe of spring time
Hath arrayed them in lis green,
And the leaves are bright with dew drops
Giancing in tie mornings sheen;
Then lis fall enchanting cho US,
Wish rapture, we have heard.
For tie Songs are round and o'er us
OF each sladsome forest bird.
Or when the serc Of autumn
Hath fastened On the leaf,
And clad the summer glories
With the fading garb of grief
One learu! strain Of sorrow
Will the songsters sadly chime,
Ere they fit upon the morrow,
To some far and distant cline.
We nave heard the gentle zephyrs
Stealing through the waving boughs,
With melody enhancing
As the maden's whispered vows;
And the storm-wind as it rushes
IN lis wild and mad career,
The braveSt bosom bushes
To a solemn awe and fear.
Fen the frosty reign Of winter
Has a cheerful minstrelsy,
And the ice Of morning lalleth
From the tall and stately tree;
And the heart can feel no power
In the poets sweetest lay,
Like toe music Of he hover
In some summers sullry day.
Oh, love the brave old forest,

And waved its lofty branches .
