The CIVIL WAR IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
The civil war in Massac and the adjoining
counties in Illinois appears to be raging with
undated fury. On the 4th ult about eighty
Of the citizens took several Of the I5gll..cc-
tors prisoners, conducted them 10 the village
of Metropolis, and confined them in large
house. On the 9th, they took several addl-.
tional prisoners, whom they confined in like
manner. Some two or three days afterward,
the Regulators raised strong force, march
ed TO Metropolis, released their friends, and
took several Of the opposing party prisoners,
who after some indignilies and admonitions,
we're released in few days. These Regul-
ators, who recognise no law but their own
will still maintain the ascendency, and seem
likely to maintain il, The Governors pro-
clamation to tho contrary notwithstanding.
The Regulators, on the 4lh of tho present
month, went to the house of a citizen named
VIM. Mathis and arrested him. His wife,
after his arrest, fought like wild tgrcss for
his rescue. She seized hold of the gun OF
one of the Regulators and attempted to
wrest it from him, and was about succeeding,
when the gun, accidentl, or by design, went
of, and the whole charge entered her thigh,
making horrible wound. Reckless of The
wound, she rushed upon her opponent and
agan aiiamnied TO disarm him, when he struck
her terrible blow on the head with his gun.
She fell and died soon afterward Louis

SHIPwRECK OF THE HERMIT. \

SH1PWRECK OF THE HERMIT.
BY MISS M. E. cRowELL. haa a3. !
Now tost upon the blIowy deep,
) n In Ocean's widest form, 20 sia.t
A fragile bark rides boldly on, t /

'Tis midnight: and the deep-toned voice
OF thunder fills the air. M 'ti'
: And now aboye-- -around--is seen
Ths,lightening's fearful glare. 's''
Long have they fought against the storm,
The bold and fearless crew;
And all, to save their shattered bark, HI
That mortal man could do.
I But oil their efforts are in vain,
The lated ship to save; aE
Ere long, the deep must be their doom
/, Its bosom be their grav e! sA *
Then thoughts Of home come rushing on;
OF friends, far, far away;
Ofkindred in distant land, '29lle
ePerhups they meier might see. ~
Oh! twas an hour Of silent dread;
Within their ,bosoms bornel
None but tile ghty hand of God
Could save them from the storm!
The storm rolls on, in fury wild; .ia t'
The pillows loudly roar. ap. d
Another wave will cast the ship os
Upon tho rocky shore! ,llu .3i
And must they perish,hus, unseens 4 a
Is there no hand TO save. Ho
Is there no suecor! hark they've struck
The oceanis their grave! ~ se
The wave swept o'cr The shattered wreck
And fiercer blew the gale.
All, all had perished;- none were lef.
To tell The Sufferers tale.
Then farewell friends, and homes, which hey
Will never mere behold Ia,
To cheer their hearts; for now, alasl
Those hearts in death are cold!

I Nature is boundless, wise, and wonderful,
but prejudice bars up the pale Of knowledge.
The man who would learn must despise the
timidity tha, shrinks from wisdom; he must
hate the tyranny Of opinion that condemns
its pursuits. Wisdom is like beauty--to be
won only by the bold; and he who pants for
Immortality, and the fame Of ages yet TO
come, mast crush he barrier Of mans opn-
ion, and boldly soar to things Of mighty pur-
pose, and posterlly will do him justice.

Rich MEN,-Most of ourcountrymcn are
familiar with the history Of Williams, Stephen
Gerard, and John Jacob Astor--all Of whom
present examples of what superior genius
and Judgment, directed 10 a single pursuit
can accomplish, in the course Of a short
life.-Democratic Repiev.
That these gentlemen possessed some
good qualities we don't deny; but if either
genius or judgmen, had been among them,
they would never have sacrificed themselves
to the wretched business Of accommodating for
lie mere sake Of counting their millions
We don't consider such examples either hon
cradle TO cur institutions or useful 10 our
country. We would give more for an open
heated, open-pursed working man, never
above The recessiiy Of work, and always, lihe

thousand ofyour John Jacobs. We venture
to say that ninety-nue huudredths Of the real
benefits conferred upon our country have
come from peer men, -Chronotype.

New MeDE OF ExTINGUIsHINe FIRE.-Tbey
have recently made in Germany discovery
which has made great sensation. II is ex-
tinguishing fires by means of cut utstrsw. AT
first sight this seems so extraordinary that
we would be justified in doubling il wero ii
not that experiments made before great
number Of persons, and which any one can
repeat themselves, remove all objection:
"The following are somo of The expert
ments: They threw several handfuls Of cut
straw upon a bright fire in Ito fire place and
it was Immediately extinguished. Several
boxes Of straw itself were set fire and then
covered with cut straw, Inc fire was again
put out uul Without bnrl!issgg dc dc cut ss;Iaw.
A bar of red-hoi iroa was plunged into heap
of cut straw; this did not take fire, while the
iron grew rapidly cold, from which ii seems
to follow that cnt straw is an excellent con-
duclor of caloric.

SALE OF CANAL LANDs.--We call ihe at
tention to the following remarks of Mr., Met
calf, ofPutnam county, in the House. on the
18th inst. on the subject of the sale of the
Canal lands. The people of the whole Stale
have deep interest in the disposal of these
lands, as by their sale corresponding
amount Of onr pablo debt will thereby be
essened; and those who reside in their i'm
mediate neighborhood, have an interest Gar
beyond this. They need neighbors--actual
1seitlors, TO assist in cutting out and improv-
ing roads, erecting school houses, helping 10
form districts, end make up schools, We
speak from having seen, when we say, that
the great body ofIhese lands only want the
hardy, enterprsing, actual settler, to make
them into delightful farms and happy homes,
and they are sertain to be, if offered at low,
or fair prices, in small quantities, TO those
whose determination il shall be TO remain
upon them for life.
II is useless-worse than folly, 10 hold
these lands at high prices, while so many
millions are offered by the U. States, at
8 ,25 per acre, at little distance TO the
west. It would be better they should be gip-
en- 10 settlers, in small quantities, and thus
have them improved, than TO lie unlmproved
series Of years. The farmer will improve
them, and thus improve or increase theil val
ue, upon which he will pay tax; besides
the now wilderness part Of Ohio, will swarm
with dense population of Industrious, vir-
tuous citizens. We give Mr.. Metcalf full
credit, for his efforts 10 get these lands set
tied, and yct spared from The unsuitable grasp
Of Spectators. Mr.. M. is young member,
aud young man; but man of untiring in
dustry; knows we'll the wapis Of his equally
industrious and noble hearted constituents;
possesses talent Of the first order--a higher
destiny awaits hm.-Seneca Advertiser.

1t was a dark and dismal night. and
the rain poured down in torrents.--
The wind whistled around the corners,
or shrieked among the chimneys; the
street lamps fared dim; and ever the
Waterman deserted his post and shrank
into a sheltered corner.
In an old ricketty tenement, in one
of the narrowest lanes of London, sat a
young couple with their only child
The mother was still young, scarcely
eighteen indeed. but Of unusual beauty;
though sorrow had began to make in.

husband vas some years older, with a
face Of much character, though not Of
decided beauty; but the lines around

sion Of the brow, sho wd that he had al
ready warred with misfortune. Infne
contrast to his face was the placid ex-
preston of the child's c~ountenanee, as
it lay in its mothers lap, with the light
of the lamp falling shaded across it,
A smile was on its face as it slept. 1t
seemed as if an angel looked out from
it.
Suddenly a knock was heard at the
door. The mar gazed around on The
bare and desolate apartment, and did
not stir. The wife seemed to read his
thoughts.
600, dear James, said she. "What
matters our poor accommodationsr
and she tried to smile. "Perhaps it is
a bearer Of good news; surely no one
else would come out on such a night
as this. How the wind drives against
the panes"
The husband advanced to the door.
and opening it, a man in livery handed
him a note. At sight Of the green and
gold Of the mans dress, he started back,
but the servant, leaving the missive in
his hand, was gone instantly.
tIt's from my fathers steward" said
the husband, with an excited voice, as
he broke the seal.
aGod be parisedw said the wife; ahe
has relented. knew he would. Oh!
we shall yet see happy days." and she
burst into tears. Her husbands agita-

Our Fa t h s.

BY WIN. JoNEsi
Our fathers! Time its record bears
To their unblemish'd fame,
And every older spot endears
Some high and sanity name;
Earth teens with memories of those
Whom ages guard in deep repose.
Calmly they rest, those grey old men
We fondly love to trace,
With r~ev'rent mien, and sage.like ken,
And cheerful beaming face;
With locks as white as riven snow,
And furrow'd, yet undaunted brow.
Where lonely stands the time-worn church,
The little hamlet's pride
There, stranger, ply thy curious search,
And oftentimes beside
The crumbIing edifice thdult see
Some rudely sculptur'd efigy.
Despise it not! that fragment brings
A moralizing theme,
And DER it, as the sunset filings
A warm and passing CLEAN;
It may a light to thee impart,
And wake to thought thine Utmost heart.
Though nameleis, yet we know that meath
That cenotaph lies one
To whom we owe a wreath in death,
And not ourselves alone,
But those who can but prattle DER
The greatness of their sires of yOre!
A warrior!-Can the patriot boast
A lineage more proud?
Some patient monk!-Hath Learning's host
More tDisely been endow'd! a.
Could we at times revive the spell
Of their own day, it might be well!
Behold yon ruin!-'twas a fame
Where once, at quiet even,
Would rise the penitential strain
OF godly men to heaven!
What hand arrests the spoilers sway!
What heart but mocks it in decay!
The vigils Of the midnight hour,
Not idly spent, nor few,
The struggles of the mind for pow'r
To those high souls are due;
And we, unconscious of their might,
Derive the blessings, theirs by right.
Affection there was truth within,
That now we blush to name;
Art spreads an holocaust to sin,
And scorns a virtuous fame;
The darker as es do but prove
How weakly man recedes in love!
Our farthers! foremost are ye still!
We echo but the sound
OF those rich notes of ancient skill,
So joyous, yet profound!
The light that DER the past is thrown,
But dims the glory of our own!
