Treasure Not The Costly Gem.
BY. E. CARPENTER, ESQ.
Treasury not the ost y gem,
Treasure not tn thing that's rarest;
Qneenly pearl or di adcm,
Gain no lustre from the fairest!
Treasure things Of common mould,
IL earths humble creatures treasure;
Joy cannot be bought with gold;
Riches change no! care to pleasure!
Treasure not the voice fpra Use,
Malice sometimes turks mid praising;
IT you would your fortune raise,
Truth can better aid the rasinp!
Treasure truth, its sacred bowl
Holds dracght that's cold and bitter
Honied words may glad the soul,
Gall displease-but still be filter!

MARK THEM.-The State Journal calls upon
the people of this State to mark well the con-
duct of our Representatives, in Congress, on the
great questions involving our interests. The
Journal says:
Out Of the entire representation in Congress
from this State, there was but one who bowed
submissively TO the dictation OF President
Polk, in his veto message, by throwing hisvote
against Mr. Wentworth resolution, affirming
the power in the general government to soon
struct such harbors and improve such rivers as
are necessary and proper for the protection OF
our navy and commerce. and that man ardS

on his forehead that he may be known of all
men for his trucking subserviency to the man

And next to him, mark those who inglorious-
ly fled from their posts, when the issue came
between theirduty to the interests of their con-
stituents, and their political fealty to him who
openly tramples these interests under his fee
to further the Mexican war and the ulteriol
plans of the slave power, and these men are w

FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO.

LETTER FROM A MExIcAN.-The following
letter, says the N. o. Delta, has been sent us
by an esteemed correspondent at Vera Cruz. 1t
is written by Mexican gentleman, and faith
fully and pathetically describes the condition
and feelings of the Mexicans in the capital
MEXICO, Nov. 81, l847.
My DEAR = = = Every time l take
the pen to write to you, it recalls to my mind
the days we have passedin happiness. 1t seems
to me that still hear the voice of those friends
with whom every evening, / enjoyed few
hours-friends who / will perhaps, meet no
more! 1t seems as though still hear the mu-
sic of that charming Rosa who, alasl was a vic
tim of that tie rrible bombardment whose hor-
rible crash still sounds in my ears.
The vengeance of God has fallen upon us
and we must bear the heavy weight of the pun
ishment we are condemned to suffer. Our
countrymen have too long been in the path of
crime, and now we must suffer with resigna-
ton the will of our God. We cannot ask
when his vengeance will be appeased; but still
we hope! We hope that months will not e.
lapse before we may at the altar of his church
sing Te Dcum of thanks to his Holiness for
his kindness in freeing us from the yoke of a
stranger-the greatest ofevils.
We are all so thunder struck by the late
victory gained over our arms, that indeed we
look upon the handful of North Americans who
conquered us with establishment and respect;
for they are considered as the tools which the
Almighty uses against us. My poor country
men try to throw all the blame upon their Off
GERS, and the most eminent among these have
been called "traitors" But, my dear friend,
do not believe that-the field of battle answers
that it is lie!
You ought TO have been there, to count the
brave fellows lying here and there--some
pierced by five or six balls, others by the cold
iron of the bayonets! There you would have
seen how guilty are those who call our officers
sstraitors."

be called Government, foratpresent we have
no Government has nominated Commission
ers to meet Mr.. Trist. They are expected
here to-day, if they have not yetarrived, which
did not learn. But what will be the result?
Can they accept the conditions which will be
imposed by the United States? Will they
have enough energy to cede an inch of our ter
ritory? If they do, they will be called by the
ignominious name of "traitors."
This is not the worst: 1t is rumored that Mr.
Trist has been recalled by his Government, and
that the powers with which he was clothed

From the Maysville Eagle of Saturday Evening
THE lLL-FATED A. n. JOHNSON.

One HUNDRED LIVES LoST.-We understood
on yesterday that several dead bodies had been
recovered from the wreck, but did not learn
whether they were recognized or not.
We are constrained to believe from addi-
tional facts that have reached us that the num-
Der of the lost by the explosion is greater than
has generally been estimated. An intelligent
gentleman gave it as his opinion, in converse
ton with us on yesterday, that there were $50
passengers in the cabin, and 60 on deck, be-
sides the officers and crew of the boat. A num-
Der OF the passengers who have saved concur
red with him in this estimate. The list of the
officers and crew-4 in number-we copied
from the books of the boat, and were assured
by one Of the officers that our list was strictly
correct.
II, then, the estimate of the passengers be
correct, one hundred aud fourteen souls were
hurled unwarned into eternity by this heart
rending calamity? What an awful response
bility rests somewhere for this wholesale
slaughter of human beings!
Two Others of the unfortunate sufferers have
died, since our last issue-Mr A. Richardson,
Of Wheeling, and Mr.. Robert MCGOWAN, OF
GAINESVILLE. Every attention was paid them
by the Sons of Temperance, of which Order
they were members, and by the citizens gener-
ally. Mr.. Richardson's body was properly
prepared for keeping until it could reach his
afflicted family. Mr.. MCGOWAN was inferred
yesterday evening with the honors of the Sons
of Temperance.
Fragments of several human bodies were
found some distance from the boat, in a corn
field. Hardly any other circumstance could
furnish so keen an idea of this scene of horror
and distress.
