The Slaves Dream.

Beside the ungathered rice he lay,
His sickle in his hand;
His breast was bare, his matted hair
Was buried in the sand.
Again, in The mist and shadow Of sleep,
He saw his Native Land.
Wide through the landscape OF his dreams
The loEdy Niger flowed;
Beneath the palm trees on the plain
Once more king he strobe;
And heard the Iinking caravans
Descend The mountain road.
He saw once more his dark-eyed queen
Among her children s'and [cheeks
They clasped his neck they kissed his
They mold him by the hand!
A tear burst from the sleeper's lids
And fell into the sand.
And then at furious speed he rode
Along the Myers bank;
His bride reins were golden chains.
And with martial clanE, steer
AT each leap he could feel his scabbard of
Smiling his stations flank.
Before him like boodre flag,
The bright flaningoes flew;
From morn ill night he followed the fight,
Ger plains where the ramarind grew,
Till he saw the roofs of Caffre huts,
And the ocean rose to view.
AT night he heard the lion roar,
And the hy@na scream,
And the river horse, as he crushed the reeds
Beside some hidden stream;
And it passed. like glorious roll of drums,
Through the triumph of his dream.
The forests with their myriad tongues,
Shouted of liberty;
And the blast of the Desert cried aloud.
With voice 80 wild and free,
That he started in his sleep and smiled,
At their tempestuous gee.
He did not feel the drivers whip,
Nor the burning heat of day;
For death had ilumined the land of sleep,
And his !ifeless body lay
A worn out feiter. that the soul
Had broken and thrown away.

Mexico.

In the following extract from the
New York Commercial Advertiser,
translated from the ''Etat Unis," the
readers of the Herald will be able to
learn some important facts concerning
the present state and disposition OF
Mexico.
8. The calculations founded in the
United States on the ambitious con-
tests Of Santa Anna aud Herrera or
Gomez Farias. are no less erroneous
than the hopes cherished, in Mexico, Of
a civil war between the Northern and
Southern States of the Union on the
subject Of slavery. At Mexico. as at
Washington, some just impressions
exist in relation to the internal
troubles Of the respective countries,
but these just impressions, being min
glcd with more extensive errors, pro-
duce false views and expectations =
1t shall be our endeavor to throw light
on the whole subject.
The latest accounts received in the
United States from Monterey declare
that a strong party has arisen against
Santa Anna in the army. and that he
has left San Luis Potosi to watch over
the doings of the Congress at the city
OF Mexico, in which the elections
have established majority of Here
ra's partisans. In these assertions
there are almost as many errors as
words. The'Congress recently chosen
was convened for the single purpose
of adopting a Constitution; but the adj
dltional junction has been assigned 10
il of passing on the question of peace
or war with the United States. This
Is the reason why the Presidential in
term and his Minister. Reion. have
refused 10 act on the proposal 70 re-
sumo negotiation, submitted by the
Government OF the United States
When Congress shall have agreed up
on a Constitution it will proceed, under
the provisions Of that instrument. TO
the election Of President: but until
the Constitution i adopted that other
question viii not be in order and
there is no present indication of the
manner in which it will be decided.

fidelity 10 the Federal party. have no

We have described, the stage was rob-

whom had the appearance OF gentle
men. When the operation of rifiing
every body and every thing was COM
pleied, one Of the robbers observed
that they must not be looked on as
professional robbers, for they were
gentlemen; but having been un(ortu-
nate at play, they were forced TO put
the company to this Inconvenience;
for which he asked their particular
pardon"
An incident Of this order occr ing
in the instance of public parsonage
some years before, long excited re-
markable interest. The Swiss consul
had been assas>inated at MONDAY. a
carriage had driven up to the door, out
of which three men came, one in the
dress Of priest. On the door being
opened, they seized and gagged the
porter, rushed into the apartment
where the consul was sitting, murder
ed and robbed him and then re,reated.
None knew whence they came or
whether they went; but the murdered
man in his dying struggle had torn
button off the coat Of one Of the rob-
bers, which they found still clenched
in his hand. A soldier was shortly az
ter seen with more money than he
could account for. Suspicion natural
ly fell upon him; his quarters were
searched, and one of his coats was
found with the button torn of. He
was convicted, but relied on pardon
through the Colonel Yancz, chici-aid-
de-camp Of the President Santa Anna,
who was his accomplice in the trans
action. On being brought out for ex-
ecution, and placed on the fatal bench
where criminals are stranglcd, he
cried out. "Stop, | will acknowledge
my accomplices;" and he pronounced

it, but refus ID. In few days after he
was found dead, as was supposed by
poison. The paper was then transfer
ed to another Judge, who was offered
the same bride, and who promised TO
destroy it; but on comforting with his
priest, though he took the money, he
shrank from the actual destruction Of
the document, and kept it 10 silence.
Yancz was brought TO trial, and be-

tempt.
The paper was produced. and the
