THE FIRST LES SON.

BYF. w. N. BAYLEY.
Amid the burning spendor,
In all the flashing light.
A whisper warm and tender,
Is softly said tonight;
The fond and fairy nearer,
Whose beauty is so young,
Thinks never wills. err dearer,
Found music on the tongue.
One hour past, her being
Was girlish as her brow;
But all her heart is seeing,
Another picture now!
Her woman's love is shining,
Her ewes of beauty speak;
See kindled hope reclining,
In bushes on her check!
Fast whirls along the dancing,
Quick twinkle winning feet:
But faster, eyes are glancing,
And quicker pulses beat.
The girl who went to glisten,
Amid the starry grove,
Has paus'd to look and listen,
And learn'd a woman's love!

THE LOST GRAVE.

A Young and promising officer of the United
States Army died in Chicago, Illinois, during the
early settlement of that city. He brcathed his las
among strangers, who buried him in the sand on
the Lake shore. A friend visiting Chicago few
years ago, sought to find the grave but was unsuc'
cessful as the high winds which prevail on the coas
of Lake Michigan, had blown away all traces OF the
soldiers resting place.
He died-the virtuous, the brave
With laurel on his brow;
And now, ask, point out his grave,
And show where lies he nov.
A soldier-he would it had been
Amid the lannon's roar.
The sabre stroke, and battle din
On Fame's broad pinions soar!
But no-he fell not in the fight,
His sword was in its sheath
Not brandished his contry's right
For Victory or Death!
We placed him in his narrow cell
When life had ceased 10 be;
And now ask of We to tell
The spot-come show it me!
What. can We not cen show the place
Which was the strangers tomb?
Do We not know a mark, some trace
That might point out his doom?
Not mound to know the spot!
But desolation cold.
Ye laid him there to be forgot,
Till time his fate unfold.
When he was numbered with the dead
His spirit with his God!
No sigh escaped, no tear was shed,
By those who DER him trod
And there We left his lfeless form;
And the wild swelling surge
That breaks upon the shore in storm,
Was his funeral dirge.
Ypsilanti sentinel. [volume] (Ypsilanti, Washtenaw Co., Mich.) 1843-1900, 1847-03-10

We submit to the society of those that can
inform us, but we seek the society of those
whom we can inform. And men of genius
ought not to be chagrine1 if they see them
selves neglected. For, when we communicate
knowledge, we are raised in orr own estima-
ton, but when we receive it, we are lowered
That, therefore, which has been observed of
treason may be said of telent, we love instruc-
ton, but hate the instructor, and use the light,
but abuse the lantern.

Many who find the day too long, think life
too short; but short as life is, some find it long
enough to outlive their characters, their con-
situations, and their estates.

Mexican News.

The rumor Of battle having been
fought recently near saltillo, between the
forces Of Gen. TAYLOR and SANTA ANNA;
still wants confirmation. The correspon-
dents of La Patria from Tampico. says -
"The report Of the battle between Santa
Anna and Taylor near Saltillo, is al,ogeth-
er improbable, as Santa Anna at the last
accounts, which are, very recent was at
San Louis, engaged in arranging his forces.
When the American forces leave for Vera
Cruz, it is said that General Urea will
march from Tula with a column of 5000 or
5000 men against Tampico. Gen. Urrea's
force is composed one third part of Cavalry,
with two battaIions Of Artillery. 1t is his
intention to attack Tampico simultaneous
with the American attack on Vera Cruz.
This officer is also prepared with force of
1000 men to march on to Matamoras. Gen.
Arista is still in the city Of Mexico, await
ing his trial on charges relating to
his conduct at the battle of the 9Th
and 9th of May"
The Abbeville banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1847-1869, 1847-03-17

would preclude the possibility of its being
either checked or annoyed by the fire of the
Castle. The tremendous strength and i'm
penetrable defences Of San Juan place it
wholly beyond the pale of any successful
attack by sea, and the impression is that the
capture of it will occasion the inevitable
necessity of destroying it totally, as the
unhealthiness of Vera Cruz would make
it untenable for our troops-and to advance
into the interior from Vera Cruz, which is
believed to be the fixed policy of our Co.
vernment, it must be destroyed, or garrison
ed, for the safety of the Army, in the event
of its sustaining any decisive reverses.-
Besides, in the citadel of Vera Cruz lies the
whole strength and pride of the Mexican
Republic, as we'll as the safety of the city
of Mexico. Raze it, and l doubt not that
Mexico will be humbled at once into suit
for peace: 1t is quite impossible to say
what a0iH be done as ecerythang depends
upon the "denouement at Saltillo.

Palmetto REGIMENT.

In this weeks paper will be found further
particulars from our Regiment, is now
at Lobos Island. 1t appears that the plan
Corporations Of this division is not ye, defin-
ely known among the volunteers, but it is
still the opinion that Vera Cruz will be at
tackled as soon as preparations can be made
for it. The rumor of this important post
having been abandoned by the Mexicans,
is not confirmed by the latest dates, and is
no doubt false. Should such however be the
case, Mexican valor must be at a low ebb
indeed, for if our troops were in possession
Of that city and castle, it certainly would do
more to intimidats Mexico, and bring her
TO terms of peace, than any measure that
has yet been accomplished.

DICKINSON, with sealed orders. When the
pilot was discharged the seals were broken

fore leaving Mobile, l applied to our Col.
for funds to bring on my sick, which were
left at Hamburg, Atlanta, and Lagrange {:
The amount forwarded back was $40,
which was considered amply sufficient to
bring them on to Mobile, where they would
remain until the Edgefeld and Newberry
companies would arrive, and then all would
come on and join their respective 3,compa.
