The remains of the gallant officers who fell Monterey
Mexico, have been brought their homes be nget
with their kindred dust, under their native skies.
Soft swells the buge's note,
Low rolls the mufiled drum,
Measured, and slow, the heavy tread
That bears them to their homo.
The battles din has ceased,
Proud victory's shout is hush'd,
But sorrow mingles in that Joy,
For many hope is crushd.
Strew'd DER that warning field,
Mangled, and cold, there lay
The brave-the young-our countrys boast
All, fearful was the fray
Late, and amidst those lines
We the phalanx stand,
With waving banners--ances high
Impatient in command.
There was no heart that quailed--
No steel remained uncasped;
But every eye flashed forth its zeal,
And every ht was grasped!
Amidst that deadly strife
They fell, warriors fall
Their life to their country pledged.
Its banner is their pail
With love like that which gows
Within brothers. breast,
Their comrades seek their loved remains
And bring them here to rest.
Oh, twas mournful task
To seek the gallant dead,
To lift again the cay-cod FORM
And fresh warm tears to shed.
Hang up their honored sword
Enwreathed with laurel Dough
And on their breast the olive lay
For they sleep peaceful now.

CULTIVATION or OgfoNs.--Having been
somewhat successful, as we think, for sew
eraI years in c~ultivating this excellent ard
odoriferous root, we have thought ii might
not be amiss to give your readers, should
it meet with your appreciation, our method
of proceeding. In the first place, az soon
as we have taken off the crop in the fall,
we cut off the tops and scatter them round
upon the bed, together with a coating Of
compost manure, and then withthe ~cultIva-
tor mix them with the soil; in this State we
let the ground remain till spring, when we
put on another coating Of manure and
leached ashes and cultivate it as before,
and prepare the bed for sowing.
In the spring we use all the hen anu
we have, thinking il is better than any
other kind. Thus ii viii be seen That we
do not plough the land al all, only loosen
ing it up with the cultivator. In hoeing
We are careful to take the soil from the
bottoms 30 as TO leave them nearly bare.
We usually have the rows about sixteen
inches from each other, hut leave the
plants considerably thick the other way
on account Of their growing too large il
farther apart:
In this manner we raised them the past
year, when they produced at the rate Of
: seven hundred bushels per acre.

Not very long time ago, one of the most elo-
quent dvnes of Great Britain, occupying one of the
most important pulpits Of the Kingdom, became so
much affected by the use of wine repeatedly that he
was summoned to give an account of hiuiself He
could not bear. he said 10 stand trial on such a
charge. before men whose only superiority ON or him
consisted in the possession OF harder heads which
could endure potions that overthrow him He ac-
cordngy LEFT his high position, and, under an as
sumed name, took passage in the steerage of a ship
bound to America. AT one OF our principal interi-
or towns he took lodgings at an obscure hotel,
where for a while he bore up under all the pressure
upon him, and lived without excessive Indulgence.
Bat at length he returned to his glass more reck-
lessy than ever got into a broh with low fellows.
for which he was arrested and with Others COMPEL
ed TO labor ia prison There of course he was tenn
perate, but the deep degradation of his condition
prevented him from disclosing his real name At
length vsiter looking at him, thought he dscov-
cred traits not common in the prison, and, having
procured liberty from the keeper, addressed the phi
soner, saying" Sir, Judge from your bearing that
YOU have seen better circumstances than these which
you are in at present" Yes, have; :" replied the
prisoner, shedding tears. By perseyering Kindness,
the visitor was able at length to obtain the real
name OF the fallen man, and the story OF his degra-
dalton. lie repaired to a clergyman of the place
with the secret The clergyman had parishoner
from the church OF which thd prisoner said he had
been the minister He was invited TO the prison.
Ii was so: there was his eloquent pastor working
among elons! BY application to the proper au.

men and under the care OF kind friends ii is hoped
that his great talents may be employed in high use

CHARLES Il. STANTON.

The st. Louis Revelle gives the follow
ing account of this gentleman. Mr.. Stan
ton was for several years resident of Chi
cago, and was well known to many Of the
citizens of this place.
The death of this gentleman, who, it
will be recolected, was one Of the uniortu-
nate emigrants who persisted in the Calfor-
MIA mountains last winter, lost his life thro'
devotion to the welfare of his suffering com
panions. With incredible difficulty, he
left the main party and penetrated to Suffers
settlement, on snow shoes. He there OBJ
tanned relief, and returned with supplies, ac-
companied part way by Capt. Fallon and a
few others, to his friends in the mountains.
The snow was so deep, however, that the
party found it impossible to transport much
provisions to the sufferers, and most of them
turned back. Ar, Stanton pcrsevered, and
got over to 'Cruckey's Lake, left what sup
plies he had, and again attempted TO get
back TO Suffers. In this, however. he fail
ed. He became snow blind, wandered from
his companions, and could not be found.
On the second trip OF Capt. Fallon to the
relief Of the emigrants, the spot where Mr..
Stanton persisted was discovered, The bo-
dy of the unfortunate man had been almost
entirely devoured by wolves, pistol,
however, which Capt. Folen had dropped,
on his first trip, and which Mr.. Stanton had
evidently found, was discovered at tie place,
and served to identify the remains. The
memorandum book OF the deceased was also
found, and was preserved by Capt. Fallon,
who has deposited it with the Reveile.
The book is of little intrinsic value, but no
doubt would be priced by the surviving re-
Iatives of the deceased, who, we learn, re-
side at Syracuse, New York.
