ANrr-RENT.-This ism, so much courted
by Wing authorities in New York, has be-
come very troublesome. Large stands of
arms have been discovered in the infected
districts, and combinations have been found
there, to resist the collection of rents. In
one county the Anti Renters have parcelled
out among themselves, in anticipation, the
lands of the Proprietors, and seem ready to
fight for them. The man they made Gov
ernor, and who pardoned the former often
ders, has issued a proclamation that is de.
rided; and no recourse is left but to the
strong ann. When men in high places pan
der to gross infIactions of the law, in order
to secure selE-advancement, they always
find that the tempest they have raised can,
not be controlled in safety to themselves, OIL
without a resort to means which at frs
would have been unnecessary, if virtue
had guided public action. The Wing Gov.
|ernor of New York is now in a position t.
reap the full benefit of his trucking to An.

HoN. RICHARD HENRY WILDE.-We have a melancholy duty to perform in announcing the demise of the excellent and distinguished gentleman whose name is given above. He fell,yester- day victim 10 the cruel epidemic which is scourging our city, carrying dismay and anguish into almost every bosom. Mir. Wilde is so extensively and advan, tage ously krown m the country as a ripe scholar, able lawyer, instructive author and statesman, that it would be a work of supererrogaton on our part to dwell on his career. Besides his eminent scholarship, und charming eIo, quence, he was universally esteemed tor his private virtues, high sense of honor, and singular amiableuess of dis position. In the language of Burke, what shadows we are, and what shad- ows we pursue" But a few days since, the gifted, the amiable, but now lament ed Wilde, could be seen in our streets ard halls Of justice in the enjoyment of robust health; hic fine person, manly features, winning countenance, and flow
 ing silvery locks commanding the admi> ration of all who saw him. The death of such man is public calamity. The age of the deceased was about sixty.- He was widower, having lost his wife many years since m Georgia. Two sons who have req, he'd the age of man hood survive hin, May they emulate his yirtues.-N. o. Picayune.

 The spirit which conceived the fol- lowing beautiful stanzas has taken it's flight. They have often appeared in the journals of ihe country, but we have thought it suitable 10 republish them in the number of our paper in which is an, nounced the death of the author: NAV Life is like the Summer Rose.
 BY RICHARD HENRY WILDE. My life is like the summer rose
 That opens to the morning sky, But ere tie shades of evening close,
 Is scattered on the ground-to die! Yet on the rose's humble head
 I he sweetest dews oi night are shed, As she wept the waste to sec
 But none shall weep tear for me! My life is like the autumn leaf
 That trembles in the moons pale ray, It's hold is frail-its date is brief,
 Restless aud soon 10 pass away! Yet ere that tree shall fall and fade,
 The parent tree will mourn it's shade, The winds bewail the leahess tree,
 But none shall breathe sigh for me My life is like the prints which feet
 Have left on Tampa's desert strand- Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
 All trace will vanish from the sand; Yet. as if grievlng 10 efface
 All vestiee of the human race,
 On that lone shore loud mourns the sea-, But none alas. shall mourn for m! !
