his objections were Of course oyerruled. More
unlikely things have taken place than that Sir Ro-
bert Peel and some of his friends should Join the
present Administraton--Sir Robert Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and to lead in the House of Com
mons whilst Lord John RUSSELL as First Lord of
the Treasury, should be raised TO the House of
Peers, and manage Ministerial affairs there. An adj
mnstration composed of Lord John Russell and
his most talented Wing associates, Of Sir Robert
Peel and due admixture of his most able friends,
with perhaps, either Mr.. Golden or Mr.. Villiers
to represent the ultra freerade party, would defy
all opposition, and carry through Parliament with
necessary rapdlty all the various important mea-
sures which It will have to grapple with on its
sembng. Such an administration would produce
the most important results, for it would identify the
session OF lS4S with the most gigantic measures of
reform and improvement. Among them may be
enumerated the adjustment Of taxation on wise and
equitable principles; the abolition of the last egis
ative traces of religious intolerance; the effectual
prosecution of the war against filth, fever, STENCIL
and the death-dealing peslence, and the social re-
generation of Ireland. We have faith in Lord John
Russell we feel assured that he will attempt all
this; and, further, that no personal motives what
ever would induce him to hold office for an hour
after he thought that his career of public usefulness
had reached its close. We have also firm be-
lief that Sir Robert Peel would go hand in hand
WIN Lord JOnn In all these ana similarly broad
public measures, and therefore, Wing though we
call ourselves should not be alarmed at the in
PRODUCTION into the administration of any men who
did not call themselves Wings; but who refusing
to give up to party what was meant for mankind"
would work NTH Wings for the promotion of Eng
lands good and Engshmen's happiness. 1t is
high time that party names were abolished, both in
politics and religion. Truth and the right would
not be compromised by the sacrifice of all mere
party principles and feelings, for they are of NO
party, but are, it is hoped, the common property,
although varying in degree as to absolute posses
sion, of all.

Moss.-The following from the Planters
Banner we consider Of much Importance to
the Planters Of Louisians, particularly under
the present high price for cattle food Of all
kinds:
"As an article Of food for cattle, we would
strongly recommend the common moss that
grows 30 lutunantly on our trees. II posses
ses great nutrition properties, is succulcnt and
s eagerly sought after by the cattle. As an
article Of food il is far superior to the CON-
mon crab grsss hay IL can be procured with
much more ease and in far greater abundance
and !, requires neither the trouble Of haul
ing or housing. The cattle will follow the
feeder, and eat il readily from the ground, as
il 10 thrown down TO them. Thus nature, not
satisfied with covering the fields Of LOuissns
with luIunsnce Of vegetation unrivslled,

any connection, or any thing to draw out the
remark, he rode up to the Colonel and said he
supposed he would stay there all night; yes,
said the Colonel, without being at all dscon-
certed; said he, live at another Rancho,
wanted to know If you would stay all night,
because, if so, in the morning will go with
you to Camargo. l asked the Colonel why he
did not stop him, hessaid he understood him
perfectly well; ihas ~ was there as spy on

the dreadful hustle and confusion we are in
from these boodthirsty rebels, most Of whom
are (ihank Cody killed and dispersed. We
are in pretty mess, can get nothing to eat
nor wine to drink, except whiskey; and
when we sit down to dinner we are obliged
to keep both hands armed. Whilst | write
this, hold sword in each hand and pistol
in the other, concluded from the begin
ming that this would be the end OF it; and

Thursday notice was given that a gang Of
the rebels we're advancing here under the
French standard, but they had no colors, nor
any drums except bagPipes. Immediately every
man in the place including women and chill
dren, ran out to meet them. We soon found
our force much too little; and we were far
too near to think OF retreating. Death was in
every face but to it we went, and by the time
half our little party were killed, we began to
all be alive again. Fortunately, the rebels
had no guns, except pistols, 'cutlasses, and
pixies; and as we had plenty Of guns and am
munition, we put them all TO the sword. Not
soul of them escaped, except some that were
drowned in an adjacent bog; and in very
short time nethlng was to be heard but silence.
Their uniforms were all different colors but
mostly green. After the action, we went to
rumage a sort Of camp which they had left
behind them. All we found was few pixies

Of water, and bundle Of French commits

THE DAYS OF OLD.

Tell me Of olden days,
The grand and shadowy past,
Sing me those antique lays
That make my heart beat fast;
The presen, seems theme,
Too sad, too stern, too cold;
The future but an empty dream
Oh speak of days of old!
love those legends gray
with venerable years;
They have power to sway
NV mood to smiles and tears.
They sweep my spirits strings
As winds Tyre might sweep,
And waken bright imsginings
From their oblivious sleep.
Trace thou the ancient page
Ofmighty word and deed,
When statesmen pure and sage, Z
Sought only honor's need
When love Of home and hearth
Was sacred held as breath
When virtue gave to glory birth,
And triumphed over death.
Oh! sing of courtly days,
When woman's gentle hand
Decreed her hero's bays
And clasped his shining brand
When rose the harmonies
OF bard and troubadour-
Oh! these are stirring memories
That thou can'st well restore.
And If too much l live
In that long vanished time,
Thou canst at least forgive
An error half sublime.
For thou like me hast learned
That in the past alone,
Reality may be discerned,
The perfect truth be known.
