MY MOTHERS GRAVE.
BY d. w. BELIsLE.

A Gf BY ID. W.BELIsLE.
TnERE is one little quiet spot
A puring stream beside,
Scarce twenty PAGES from the cot
Where my dear Mother died.
.'Tis many years since then-but still
The cot, and grave, and sloping hill,
The bounding b;oke, and dancing rill
Are there think of them until
Sad musings make my blood run chill,
And tears my weeping eyes do fill,
And grief subdues my pride.
Isought that place when autumn skies
Wept DER a fading world
When eve, with twice ten thousand dyes,
Its starry wings unfurled-
And mem'ry back my thoughts had flung,
When | in years and hope was young,
When from that tender Mothers tongue
The voice Of music sweetly rung,
While to her sleeping babe she sung
As to her breast it fondly clung,
Ere death at her was hurled.
IT'S many leagues away-but yet
My childhood's home see
All! truly, | can ne'er forget
The spot so dear to me!
For, calmly there laid to rest
The truest, fondest, kinlest, best
OF mothers, who had oft caress'd
Her reckless child upon her breast
MY faiher.--he, the oceans crest
Which rolls along The darken'd West,
Beats DER him wild and free
That grave with grass is ovcrgrown--
The brook and dancing rill
To me has each plantiye moan
Whilst rushing down the hill:
That cot, the place where was born,
Stands lonely, dcsolae, forlorm
The blooming fields of waving corn,
OF all their beauties rudely shorn,
Look meekly up and seen to mourn
Whilst Trough the glen the hunters horr
Is echoed loud and sh,ill!

For1earanee has ceased 10 be a rirtue. The
Mexican Government having declined to accede
to The liberal propositions of our Government, for
peace, or even, it would seem, 10 give them Sc
rlous and respectful hearing, 1t is now manifest
that the forbearing spirit and object which has in
duced the administration 10 tender peace has been
wholly misunderstood
The propositions Of Mexico-that we should
pay to the Mexican citizens all the damages sus-
laned by them during the war, surrender all that
portion of Texas West Of the Nueccs, abandon
all Of Lower and ope-haff Of Upper California,
leave the imports of our own and all other meI-
chants into the Mexican ports open to new duties,
or even to con6scrion, and givcsup our claim 10
any right of way across the isthmus-are so pre-
posterous to put all hopes of peace at least for
the present. out of the question a' TO- ,'''''' '''
We understand it has been determined by the
Government to make no further overtures Of peace
on our part. When Mexico wants peace here
after, let her sue for it. We are now in the pos
session of her capital, principal Cities ports and
possessions Large reinforcements are daily NOV

-DueI--Unfortunate Affair.

On the morning of The lst instant, an affair OF
honor came off on the Dismal Swamp Canal, just
inside The Virginia line, between Ferdinand Harris
and Edward c. YelIowly. Esqrs, bo'h of Green
vile; Pin County, North Carolina, in which the
former was killed. The particulars so far as we
can learn tkem are as follows: A dispute arose
about, or shortly after, the election in August 46,
betwece the parties, both of them members of the
Bar. Mr.. Harris was candidate for The Legis-
Iaure successful one, too, and il is said that
Yellowly did moi like his Harris nomination
although belonging 10 the same party. Yellowly
made some remarks about Mr.. Harris not how
ever, we learn, of a personal character, which
Harris did not like, and on account of which: he
(Harris,) used some very harsh, personal Ian.
guage towards Ycllowly.- The latter called upon
Harris for an explanation. which was made in the
shape of even more offensive language. Ye!lowly
then assaulted and struck Harris with his cane,

A Spotted Negro Boy.

On Saturday las, we were invited, by Mr. Nor.
than of Johnston County, to examine, at Law
rence's Hotel, a negro boy he had in charge--and
a. very strange looking boy he is. He is as black
as the negro ordinarily is, and has white rings
around his arms and iegs,-,he skin upon his
breast and abdomen is white, and there is white
strenk commencing at the top of his forehead and
running an inch or so up his head dthe hair on this
part Of his head being as white and soft as
lambs wool. The white is remarkably clear,
and contrasts sngularly with the black skin which
covers the other parts of his body. This boy is
three years old, was born in Johnston Coun,yin
this State, and seems to be smart for one of bis
age We understand it is the intention of Messrs.
Avery and Norlham, who have him in charge,
to exhibit him in this City some time during The
ensuing week. .El. lp.-..se4- ,ftf aa
