Suggested hearing the death Of s.maD Brown, who
He's gone-ihe immortal spirits fed
To scenes more pure and fair;
The debt is pad-yes, he las gone
Celestial bliss to share
All, can it be that lovely face,
That bright ming eye serene
That active frame so late lfe's seat
WTl ne'er on earth be
It's true that lovely form is laid
In deaths cold narrow bed
Another called from earth away
And numbered with the dead.
But bark ,-meihinks hear his voice
In accents grand sublime
Chrsts blood atoned-therefore am
In your celestial cline.
Go tell my parents not 10 weep,
Gods ways are just and right;
Bot serve the Lord-hs preeepls keep,
And gain the realms Of light
Weep no, for me but do rejoice,
My short and youthful years
With all their pains and tolls o'er-
Dear friends do dry your tears.
Oh let your feet ne'er go astray
From virtues peaceful road,
But ever walk that humble path
That leads thee home to God.

DIR NAVY

We observe that in The resolutions which are
adopted in the primary meetings of the people,
the Navy as well as the Army are applauded for
the bravery and efficiency which has been exhi-
hied by it, in our war with Mexico We sup
pose this praise is given for what is enpected Of
them. not what they have yet done. We copy
the following items which we find among others
in the Union. We presume Com. Conner was
making another attack on Alvarado when the
French vessel got into Vera Cruz:
" Accounts had been received that the Mexican
troops were pouring into Vera Cruz. principally
in consequence of The dispatches which had been
intercepted on the person Of Lieutenant Richey,
of the infantry.
q 1t is also said, highly respectable authority,
that French merch.ntman had just found lis
way into Vera Cruz with ten thousand stand of
arms aud twenty tons of gunpowder on board. #
remains 10 be seen in what manner this vessel
eluded our blockading squadron"

whether the campaign will last many months

can hardly be doubted neither is il likely that
Geu'l Scott will meet any considerable obstacle
IN capturing both town aud castle. Indeed, be-
heve they will both GO over by capitalization

prrhend, be mach greater need of a diplomatic
Mission to Mexico. Than ofa commander in
