Last Interview Of Emmett and his
BetrOthed.

Emmett was unfortunately betrayed by his
enemies. in an attempt TO emancipate his
countrymen from tyranny and oppression.
He was therefore convicted Of treason, and
sentenced TO be executed.
The evening before his death, while the
workmen were busy with the scaiiold, a
young lady was ushered into the dungeon.
II was the girl he so fondly loved and who
had come to bid him an eternal farewell
He was leaning in melancholy mood
against the window frame Of his prison, and
the heavy clanking of his chains smote dis
mally on her heart. The interview was
bitterly affecting, and melted even the cal
lous heart Of the jaler. As for Emmett, he
wept, and spoke little. But as he pressed
his beloved in silence 10 his bosom, his
countcnance betrayed his emotions. In a
low voice half choked by anguish, he be-
sought her not to forget him; he reminded
her OF their former happiness. of the long
past days of their childhood, and concluded
by requesting her sometimes to visit the
scenes where their infancy was spent aud
though the world might repeat his name
with scorn, TO cling TO his name with aztec.
iion. At this very instant tho evening bell
pealed from the heighboring church; Emmett
started at the sound and as he lelt that
this won he the last time that he shonld
ever hear It's dismal echoes, he folded his
beloved still closer 10 his heart, mud hen'
over her sinking form with eyes streaming
with tears OF affection. The turnkey en-
tered NJ this moment, and, as though asham'
ed of temporary betrayal Of sympathy
dashed the rising tear from his eye, aud
frown again lowered upon his countenance
The man meanwhile approached to tear the
lady from his embraces. Overpowered by
his feelings, he could make no resistance
but as he gloomily released her from biz
hold, gave her miniature OF himself, ant
with this parting token of attachment, i'm
printed the last kisses Of dying man upor
her lips. On gaining the door, she turned
as Il toagaze on the object Of her Widowed
love. He caught her eye as she retired
il was for a moment; the dungeon doc
swung back upon its hinges. and as il clos
ed after her, informed him too surely tina
they had met for the last time on earth.

Of truth, hear the doom that issues from the
ballot box Of freemen, and be still. Al
ready he refuses 10 communicate to your
representatives, the information which they
need for action upon the measures which he
recommends. Already his friends in the
Senate oppose the communication Of his
designs in reference 10 the present war
He demands Of them men and money He
asks them to vote him the means of war in
the dark He treats them as vassals. Let,
then, the ballot box OF New Hampshire ut
ter its condemnation Of such despotism.
You will be surrounded with the min
ions Of the slave power. They will tell you
TO push on for war and glory. They will
boast Of the victories that have been won
they will Try 10 dazzle your imSgnations
with the halo OF military renown. They
will pretend TO be anything. Wilmoi Pro-
viso men, aboIitionists, or slavery men, Just
as is necessary to catch your vote. They
will be all things 10 all men. in hopes to be-
guile you by their hypocrisy. Trust not
the promises and forfeited all the pledges
they made before the last election. They
are, as all their lives show, Radicals and
Slavocrats in nature and in essence. IL
they cannot allure you by telling you how
good they are, they will attempt to deter
you from an honest vote, by telling you
what horrid things you will be il you do not
vote for their men. They will call you
Wings, Federal Aboitionisis, and TO cap
the climax Of horri6cation, they will call
you Federal-Abolition-W Wings, ali in word.
But be not deceived bio not frightened.
Vote against slavery; vote against Radical
ism; vote against committing all your free
institutions to the chances Of foreign war,
Of foreign conquest or, what is the same
thing, vote against Jared W. Williams,
whose whole public life has been devoted
to the interests Of slavery. Vote for Berry,
vote for liberty, vote for the preservation Of
your free institutions, and all will be safe.
To our Wing friends we say, Arouse 20
to the fight. Let il not be said that one
Wing was absent from the polls. Let no
minor considerations deter you. Organize,
work and triumph. Be generous, per-
seyering, active and conciliatory. Re-
member the glorious 9Th Of July, Is47. If
you do your duty, like victory will await
you on the 18th of March next. If-let
there be no such word among freemen. To
the work, then, brave Wings, and the pray
ers and blessings Of freemen throughout the
land will attend you. Let every one say,
I riH do il; piH go; 1 ciR be there;
and the work is done. Let US hear the Joy
ful sound of victory throughout the state,
and the measure of our Joy will be FULL
Farewell. But we cannot leave you with
out repeating Victory, Victory.

A Mothers Lament for Her Sons
Slain in Mexico.

My gallant are sleeping now, upon the blood
stained plain,
The stately head the noble FORM lie low among the
slain;
In manhoods early strength cut down, their battles
soon were DER,
They've gone, in all their beauty from my sight for
evemore.
could have borne il, had they died, as died their
honored sire,
Had 1 but seen them peacefully and praycrfully
expire;
But they were smitten when their hands with blood
were reeking red,
Sent thus to reckon with their God for every drop
they shed.
Alas my sons little thot my woful lot 'twould be
To mourn thus bitterly that We ever given me.
Oh, loved and lost We came to me like messengers
from Heaven,
And freely then my youthful strength for your sup
port was given
guarded you, in childhood's years, with faithful
fervent care,
And for your welfare offered up full many ferycnt
prayer.
So year by year yc grew in strength and stature by
my side,
And on my stalwart sons looked, with all moth
er's prde
But We are lying stark and cold and weltering in
your gore,
Who slumbered on my breast so of, in the bright
days of yore. NJ

Late Army Operations.

1t has been briefly stated in our columns, that
detachment of our Army in Mexico had cap
tured Orizaba; but an incident that preceded
it has not been mentioned. We therefore copy
the annexed notice Of the expedition, having no
room for the detailed account of its progress and
success
The late expedition Of Gen. Lane. with $50
dragons and Texan rangers, although it failed
Of its main object, the capture of Santa Anna,
who fed from Tehuacan two hours before the
strangers arrived, was after all a most brilliant
affair. 1t was boldly conceived, and boldly exc
cuted. Tehuacan is some so miles south of the
main road from Vera Crua to the Capital
These $50 horsemen knew not what forces they
might encounter, but relying on their trusty
weapons and the skill of their gallant leader,
they went ahead at the rate of 40 miles day.

OF great value, being mounted with gold and dia-

with the exception of the field glass, an excel

METHODIST FEMALE COLLEGE AT CISoN-
NATI-The Methodists of Cincinnati have felt
the Importance of competing with the Romanists
in means of female education. They have pro
yided, with real munifcence, a noble edifce for
4 female college, and the best success seems to
crown their efforts. DIR. Elliott gives an inter-
esting account of recent visit to this seminary.
He says:
"At 20 minutes before in the morning. the col
lego halls were thronged by the collecting Of the
3l5 students now in actual attendance. They were
busily engaged, like so many bees or ants. Some
were just coming in, fastening to dispose Of their
cloaks, bonnets, and such things, in their proper
places; and others had just completed these adjust
ments Just 10 minutes before 9, the bell tolled for
assembling in the chapel, in the third story, and all
was life and notion but decorous motion, conduct
ing them to the place Of worship. On each bench
were placed three Methodist hymn-books, smallest
edition, with the words, Wesleyan Female College
in plain gilt letters, the cover Of each book. All
seated, portion Of Scripture was read, then hymn
was sung, Mr. Colburn, with the piano and voice,
leading, and all with books in hand, standing up
making sweet melody with voices, and every one
singing, as far we could discover Then brief
prayer offered up to God all kneeling devouty
before the Lord Prayer over they retired by rooms
and departments, most orderly, two by two with
hands clasped, and thus all in order proceeded to
their recitation rooms with their respective teach
crs, and thus entered on the duties Of the day We
have not seen n lovelier more interesting sight
for forty years. than the spectacle which that morn
ing was presented to our view"

CONDITION OF IRELAND.--This country con-
tinues puzzle. The people are dying of starv-
ation while the same letter that gives the heart
rending account of these terrible facts, encoses
large contributions towards the Repeal Fund
The Special Commission is trying criminals and
sentencing them to death, while threatening no
tees are conveyed by every post ireland is
indeed a puzzle, not only to British statesmen,
but to the world No Ministry can govern her.
No concessions will satisfy her. Millions Of
money do not relieve her. Shiploads of food
do not feed her. She is still suffering, still
groaning, still complaining. The people are
poor-they have no home-no covering but the
sky-no hope. All is blank before them. The
Irish question has long disturbed England. Il
has overthrown more than one Ministry, and i
may the present one. All the colonies and all
the possessions of Great Britain do not give the
Government so much trouble--do not annoy il
40 much-do not so frequently place it in jeop
ardy, as unfortunate Ireland. What the present
Ministry will accomplish for her, time will show

ABD-EL-KADER.-After gallant struggle of
nearly twenty years, distinguished by undaunted
courage, indomitable endurance, and consum-
mate skill, the Arab Wallace, Abd-el-Kader-
overwhelmed by numbers, not conquered-has
given up the contest, and surrendered to the
French, only STIMULATING to be sent to Cairo or
St. Jean dAcre. These terms were assured to
him by the officer to whom he surrendered, and
confirmed by the Governor General but there
is a rumor that the French Government will pay
no regard to those stipulations, though Prince
of the blood is party to them, but will act on
the " safe bind safe find" principle, by keeping
him close prisoner in France. This event es-
tablishes the security of the French dominion in
Africa, for, deprived of their brave and chival-
ric leader, the Arabs will now probably give up
the hope of making any effectual head against
the nvaders.-Ewopean Times.

THE RULING PAssIoN.-The first words MIR
Adams was understood to utter after his recent
lamcnable attack, were, " Officers of the House"
which demonstrates, like Napoleon's last OK
preston, "tete darraee," how much the ruling
passion comes out in great extrenities. lis
mind undoubtedly then turned upon his official
duties 1t was in the interruption Of these dn-,
ties that semi-consciousness first came over hi,n.
Afterwards, in few broken, disjointed inco-
herent words, he spoke Of his wife What he
said, none of his friends who surrounded him
could understand. He made a third attempt at
articulation and this time was understood tosay,
" This is all of earth" abiding evidently to his
precarious situation and speedy departure. Little
Of aught more intelligible was heard from him.
Thus from the order Of his few words, il will
be seen that this great and good man thought
first of his country, then of his cherished part
ner, and lastly of himself Such has been tho
history of his lfe-Cores. NJ Y Tribune.

EpIToRs-We know of no class of the COM
munity from whom so much disinterested benev-
olence and thankess labor are expected as from
editors of newspapers. They are expected to
feel for every one but themselves; to correct
public abuses, and private ones also, without CIV
ing offence to sustain the difficulties of others,
without regard to their own; to condemn i'm
proper measures of every one and no one at the
same time. They are expected to note every
thing that is important or extraordinary; and
Notwithstanding the diversity of mems opinions,
their notice must be calculated to please enerp
one and at the same tune offend no one.

Pork Trade in Cincinndh.-In a recent arti-
Gle We stated that the number of hogs packed in
this city during the present season, was at least
100000. The season had not then closed, and
we find the statement was under the mark. The
number now packed is 100000 The packing
has not yet quite ceased. There is reason TO be-
leve that in three-fourths of the country towns
the number packed is also greatly increased
The great cause of this is doubtless the quantity
of Indian corn, and the condition of the corn
market A large crop, and the cessation, to a
great extent, of this foreign export are the great
causes of the increase of fatted hogs.
