AMBITION-A

Who that beholds the flowers that lie
Upon lifes varied pathway strewn,
Can idly gaze, and pass them by,
Nor weave a wreathe 10 call his own?
Who with the ardent soul Of youth,
Where science sheds its hallowed beams
Will not toll day and night for truth,
And drink delight from wisdom's streams;
Who that has seen the star Of fame
Bright shining from its dizzy height,
Would not rejoice to see his name
Rejecting back its radiant light7
While swiftly on its troubled wave
Time bears our fading years away,
Who would not struggle hard to save
A name-his all-from dull decay?

But o! the happy leave behind.

Two letters purpCrtIng 10 come from Gen. ray
lor, have lately appeared in the newspapers. One
was addressed to George Lippard Of Philadelphia,
and the other to friend in Charleston, whose name
is not given. Both in substance are the same, and
convey the same impression IN regard TO Gen. lay
lOrs position before the country, because in each
he processes himself not TO have departed at all from
the ground which he originally assumed as an indie
pendent no party candidate. These letters, bymany
newspapers at the North, are unhesitatingy pro-
nounced forgeries. If they are so, we think the
fact should be Immediately made known by some
responsible authority, that those papers which have
published them as genuine, may undecelVe their
readers. The New York Mirror, one of the princ-
pal, and We believe, the original Taylor paper Of
New York, has the following concerning the letters :
FoRGERIEs-TwO letters have lately appeared
in the papers, with the name of Gen. Taylor at
tached to them, which we have no hesitation III
pronOuncing tOrgeries. One of them was publish
ed. in Philadelphia, and pretended to BE- addressed
to George Lippard the other is copied from the
IA Charleston News, and is said to be extract from
a letter written to a gentleman Of that city; but 1t
is so palpably unlike, and so little in accordance
with the character of Cen Taylor, that we do not
fear any harm from it for it IS altogether too i'm
probable to deceive any intelligent person. The
object of these tOrgeres is of course, to prejudice
the minds of the wings against their candidate
General Taylor would never have uttered SEN
tence like the following which is attributed to him
in the Charleston letter:
am now fully. if not fairly, before the country
candidate for the Chief MagBtTCy and if 1t should be
good bad fortune be elected trust will be
such for the most part regards the management of our
national affairs, will meet the appreciation OF fellow
citizens
But even though he could have uttered the above,
he could no more have thought such a thought as
the next sentence contains, or have written such
maudlin stuff, than he could have turned his back
upon an enemy and taken to his heels:
Should it fail to do So they will fatter myself have the
Very respectfully, your friend, u. TAYLOR
No gentleman to whom Gen. Taylor would write
in this free and easy style would have been guilty
of publishing his letter without at least giving his
own name with it. The Express of this morning
says in reference TO these letters: The wing must
be greea very green, WHO can now, after the sue
cessive experience of former years, he caught by
such lOcO-fOcO fOrgeries. No letter from Gen. Tay
Ior should now be deemed genuine unless it comes
before Us under the responsibility of some well
known, respected man. Forged letters will be as
plenty as backberries His political chart is in his
Alison letter, and i'll the cordial acceptance of the
wing Philadelphia convention.

The WEATHER AND CRoPs.- Our parish has
been deluged with rain. Our planters have seldom
suffered so seriously from long continued and heavy
rains We hear of storms of wind in different sec
tons, which have injured the crops of corn and
cane considerably, and it is absolutely painful to
record the immense damage, amounting to almost
total loss, which has fallen upon the cotton crop.
This. to the numerous small planters in Attakapas,
will prove very embarrassing. On the 10th hur-
ricane swept over a portion Of or parish, tOrtu-
nately, however in an uncleared section Of the
Grand Bots, otherwise it would have ruined the
prospects of many of our largest planters Its track
was more than half mile in width, and several
miles in length There is scarcely tree, large or
small, which has not suffered from the effects of the
storm. For two days we have had clear and dry
weather. Our bayou has risen about feet.-S

that the British forces and the Repealers had fought
