THE BALLAD OF CHURUBUSCO
on, THE MEXICAN TRAGEDY.

= Woe, woe 10 ye my eounirymen,
There's,guill upon the land
There's wailing at the warriors hearth,
!, There's blood upon his hand -
Where yondsrhappy cottage home,
7e Stands sheltered 10 The yale; Z .
heard the children's merry laugh, -.
Come floating on the gale. s
Ths plough is idle in the field,
The home is drear ard lone;
And fas, adown the mothers check,
The scalding tears they ron.
There's cry Of battle on the ear,
OF mighty hosts Withstand;
OF gallant men who went TO war
OflaureIs dyed in blood.
What boots i, that a thousand die
What Of great battles won
Can these give 10 that home again,
The father and the son?
The lrumpe, rang from hill TO hill,
The drum it rolled from far;
Der all the land the old and young,
Wen, rushing to the war.
Six thousand men, all bold and true.
In all their pride and show;
With gallan, chiefs TO lead them on.
To foreign realms they go.
Der rocky steep, o'er passes drear,
With cleaning arms they hie;
Where the mountains lall like pillars grand,
Uphold the southern sky.
Lo, yonder now, the foe they seek,
10 all their martial pride;
Full twenty thousand men, secure,
In ramparls strong they hide.
Our men Of nigh, they onward press,
A shout the welkin rends
Dark sulph'rous clouds enshroud the air,
The iron hail descends.
Against tn embatlIed wall, that pours
It's food Of murky fame;
A band conspicuous lead the van,
Palmetto is its name.
Their standard broad hat beats The wind
A green Palmetto bears;
I'm gold, "Dum spiro spero spes,'
The motto that appears.
Aud what of him, that God like man,
Who leads that band so free?
Pierce Bullet is that chieftian's name;
None braver lives than he.
Beshrew me. twas noble sight!
Te see that host combined;
They seemed field Of riperiuS wheat,
All bended by the wind.
All eager for the dangerous posi-
They move across the plain
Fast as deaths sickle reaps them down,
Their columns fill again.
Far in the front on milk whfte sreed,
Pierce Buffers blade it shone
And when his noble beast it fell,
On foot he cheer'd them on.
And thrice he rear'd that banner high
And led The foremost rank I;
And thrice the bullel furrow'd earth,
The heroes blood it drank.
Now faint and bleeding from The field,
Thechief they led away;
They look again-his flashing sword,
Is foremost in the fray.
AT fatal chance-dea.hs fiery shaft,
Thrice marks him as its own! II
Was ever life more nobly lost,
Orfame more dearly won!

The Female Army Of Switzerland.
We have mentioned in previous
nuabcr Of two regiments of the women
of the Canton of Uri, but we find in a
French paper notice Of them which
we translate literally: "The two bat>

females in military dress, present an
aspect at the same time formidable and
captivating. In their evoIu,ions and
discipline they are drilled to perfection.
Curiously enough, superiority Of form

reason of difference of grade; The hand

this post of distinction and danger seems
willingly conceded them by their cum

temperament also. The more vivid

The Slavery Question at the North.
The determination everywhere ap-
parent throughout the South to resist, al
all hazards, the threatened Invasion Of
her rights, has brought the leading poll
ticians of the North TO pause. Willie
the Wings arc endeavoring to evade the
Wilmot Proviso, by substituting new
issue-against the further acquisition of
territory, many of the Democrats are for
quietly laying it on the shelf at present,
and others are openly taking ground in
favor of the Missouri Compromise.
These results are the best evidence Of
the propriety of the policy advocated in
our columns, and of persevering in i,
until such union and organization o!
the Slave States is effected as will enable
,hemto rcsis, with promplness and eff,
cheney any invasion oftheit rights. Upon
this alone can they depend for safety.

But if those humors are allowed to accumulate, a

which is always more or less dangerous. arc
WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
are equally well calculated to prevent the storm,
or to allay il when it comes. But
PREVENTION is BETTER THAN CURE,
