THE VOICE OF LOVE.
BY ISAAC F. SHEPARD.

Bt ISAAC r. SHEPAkDs
Oh! never speak with angry tone
To one within this erring world;
Let no vindictive Look be shown,
Nor be thy lip v it'll passion curled;
For man at best is fral as dust,
And none but God is truly just
BE kind to all, and thus fulfil
The first great duty here below;
Let words Of love their sweets distil,
TO mitigate their brothers woe;
For though in pride and guilt he swells,
His heart lis own deep anguish tells.
In the deep chambers of the soul
To guilt there's no approving sound
But ever heard, with fearful roll.
Stern truths rebukes are echoing round:
And ever deeper is their moan,
AS conscience feels the voice her own.
Steak kindly to the little child,
Lest from his heart you drive away
The light of love, whose visions mild
Are opening like the dawn OF day;
Force not one cloud across the heaven
A God of love to him hath given.
Speak kindly to each fallen one,
Nor harshly Judge his sinful deeds
There lives no soul beneath the sun
That does not compassion need;
Our race is erring at the best
And judgment is not thy behest
o, who can tell temptations power.
Upon poor souls that yield to wrong!
Where one may see the storm clouds lover,
Another hears syrcn song.
NY spirit loves the wind gods waib
But thine may shudder at the gale.
The soul is but waiting Tyre.
Whose deep vibrations varied are
Each answering to its quvering wire,
And to the force its touches bear;
Nor careless, then, your hands should stray
For fearful is the harp ye play,

left the Democrats to be on the strong side
feel when now the bright star of Democracy
is in the ascendency? Oh! bitter must be the

On the 7th of October, Tayer Pa cha marched against them, and unfortunate ly took as guides spies of Bedar Khan Bey, who conducted the Turkish army to the valley of Koshmerek, the heights being occupied by the Kurdish rebels
 On the morning of the 8th, the Kurdes rushed down from the mountains, and fall ing on the Turkish army unexpectedly, threw them into the greatest disorder and confu sion. Tayai Pacha, however rallied his men, and a severe engagement took place, the consequences of which are not precisely known It is said. however, that the Turkish army has been worsted, leav- ing 700 killed on the field of battle It is likewise rumored that 5000 prisoners have fallen into the hands of Beder Khan
 The Nestorians, under the head of a mountain bishop, Mar Johanna (who is supposed to be Russian agent having been at Tifis,) fearing the consequences of the effects Of this disaster fled into the mountains of Djeb el Tax. They were preparing 10 cross the frontier to take refuge among the Persians of Ormian, where the Nestorians already number 35,000, subjects to Persia.
 It is further said that Mar Shmoun, the former Nestorian patriarch had fallen into the hands of the Kurdes

MEMS. FROM MoNTEREY.

It was our pleasure, Tuesday, to hold with Doctor Wilson, of Col. Woods, Texas Rangers. He arrived here on the steamship Alabama, on Monday evening, and is one ofthe last persons from Monterey-having left there on the 25th ult Sickness was abating in the camp, and the wounded, generally speaking, were rapidly recovering Gen. Butler was among those whose convalescence was most slow Gen. Worth, with about 1200 men, was at Saltilo, where he found very comfortable quarters By the way, good story is told of old Rough and Ready" who accompanied Gen. Worth's Brigade to SaltilIo in connection with the march
 into that place. As they approached within a few miles oft they were met by courier from the Alcalde, or chief governor of the city, who presented to the General a very formidable looking despatch. A halt was called, and the Generals interpreter was ordered to give translation of the docu- ment It opened with an eXpostulaton of the war on the part of the Americans- alleged that it was prosecuted for the pur- poses of conquest, rapine and plunder- protested against the further advance of the Generals s-threatened him with the retribution that must follow, and-but the General stopped the translator in the middle of sentence, with-"Are you through, sir2' "No," was the reply, Il have not red hall of it. yet"
 70, I'll hear no more of it." said the Gen eral "Marchl" He ordered the bugler tc sound the advance, and again the column was in motion.
 1 The number of men fit for active duty at Monterey at the present time is abou
 5000. Of these, one regiment is quartereC in the city-the remainder are encampeC at the Walnut Springs.
 l From the representations which Docto
 Wilson makes to us, Gen. Taylor canno advance with his force from Saltlllo tt San Luis Potosi. The MeXicans, in thei
 retreat, performed the march at grea
 sacrifice of life the Americans cannot ac
 complsh it--frst, because the enemy woul
 let the water out of the tanks, and thus de
 prive them of this necessary element o
 existence; next, because they could find n
 provisions on the way-a distance of 25 miles-and, because it would amount to a
 almost absolute impossibility to convey th necessary forage and provisions over tn mountains in the line indicated. Ther
 would seem to be no probability, then, tha
 a junction can be formed with the tw wings of our army at San Luis Potosi-th
 one marching from Tampico, the othe
 from Monterey and Saltillo-which report has been saying is to be the movement. f A report, circulated along the Ri } Grande, that Santa Anna had challenge

A 'ew days before Doctor Wilson left
 Monterey, an express arrived there from
 Gen. Wool at Monclova It is not his present purpose to join Gen. Taylor. In this decision he is guided by the instruc- tons or advise of the latter. Col. Harney and his dragons are at Chihuahua, into which they marched without firing a gun. Indeed, they were cordially welcomed, and got from the authorities decent blow out'' into the bargain.
 The regular army at Monterey conduct themselves with great order and regularity: not so, always, with the volunteers. They and the Mexcans too often get into difficult ties, and homicides follow. On the day be- fore Doctor w. left the camp, the body of a member of the Louisville Legion was found in a position which showed that he had been violently murdered. His com rades buried him, and the next day, the Doctor heard, when he reached Camargo, they sallied out and killed several Mexi cans. He further heard that for this, Gen. Taylor had ordered them back from the camp, with a strong reprimand. either to Lanares or Camargo. The 4th regiment of Illinois volunteers, which had marched from Camargo 10 Matamoras, on their way to Tampco, were ordered back probably 10 take the place of the Kentucky Legion, pr possibly to repel some threatened attack on Camargo. Whatever the motive, they were, at least, ordered to countermarch rom Matamoras. The report at Monterey, hat Gen. Ampudia had been tried by military court, at San Luis Potosi for his conduct at Monterey, and ordered to be ot-N o. Della, Dec, 2l.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMs.-Our attention is now attracted to a ray of light "located" on the left of the House, in the neighborhood of the Speakers chair. It proceeds from that wonderful man, who in his person combines the agtator, poet, philosopher, statesman, critic, and orator-John Quincy Adams. There he sits, hour after hour, day afta" ley, with untirinG patience, never voting for an adjournment, vigIlant as the most jealous member of the House, his ear ever on the alert, always prepared to go at once into the profoundest question of state, or the minutest points of order We look at him, and mark his cold and fearful eye, his stern and abstracted gaze, and conjure up phantoms of other scenes. We look upon amore than king who has filled every departnent of honor in his native land, still at his post; he who was the President of millions, now the representative of forty
 odd thousand, quarreliing about trifles, or advocating high principles:-to-day growl- ing ard sneering at the House with an abolition petition in his trembling hand, and anon lOrding it over the passions, and lash
 ing the members, into the widest state of enthusiasm by his indignant and emphatic eloqueuce. Alone, unspoken 10, unconsul- ted with others, he sits apart, wrapped in his reveres, or probably he is writing-his almost perpetual employment. He looks
 enfeebh, but yet he is never tired; worn
 out, but ever ready for the combat mel
 ancholY. but let witty thing fall from any
 member, and that old mans face is wreathed in smiles. He appears passive, but wo to the unfortunate member that hazards an
 arrow at. him--the eagle is not swifter in
 it's flight than Mir. Adams; with his agitated | finger quivering in sarcastic gesticulation.
 he seizes upon his foe, and amid the amaze
 ment of the House, rarely fails to take
 signal vengeance. His stores of knowl-
 edge onevery subject, gathered up through
 the course of his extraordinary life, is said
 never to have permitted a single face to
