THE STARS.

THE STARS.
When on char and star-lit night,
With minds 10 contemplation given,
We gaze with rapture and delight,
Upon the azure vault of lIsaAen.
With admiration we behold,
Moving in silent majesty,
MSTiads of stars AS yet untold,
And boundless as immcnsity.
We gaze with wonder and with awe,
On those celestial orbs of night,
And wonder what their natures are,
Those splendid brilliant gems of night,
If they are worlds, then we would know,
What beings do inhabt there
If they re exempt ifom all the woe
Entailed upon our species here.
Which are those, who together sung,
Strains soft and sweet as Angels use,
When Gods stupenduous work wasdonc,
And the Creation morn arose
And those among yon glittiiIng host,
The eye no longer can discern
Are those fair stars forever lost
Or, will they To their spheres return
Bat there is one more glorious far,
Which more than all our eyes would ken
Ii is the worlds salvation star,
Ii is the star OF Bethlehem.
Which Of you waist ,hat shone so far
To light the shepherds on their way
Leading them to the mangcr where
The Heavenly Babe Of Bethlehem lay.
But why enquire il is no, given
To us on this terrestrial ball
To know all the designs Of Heaven,
Or wherefore God hath made you all
One truth alone ye all declare
Forever TO us ls sc shine,
That lie who made and placed you there,
Can be no other than Divine.

IMPORTANT DEcIHoN.-A decision has

sell goods be has paid freight and charges,
and incurred expenses, notwithstanding a
subsequent direction oi'lhe principa for him
10 withhold The goods from the market.
There is NJ decision on the books ola sim
liar case in the State. The Court held 10
the principle lha, factor has a right 10 sell
to reimburse his advances, although no ac.
ceplahces have been made upon the goods
This, The Express believes, is different from
the present understanding, based upon The

ScoTr AND THE ADMINISTRATIONS
Speaking, Of the Gen. Scott correspondence
lately communicated 10 the House of Rep.
resenlalives, the distinguished Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American. says;
= | send an extract from Gen. Scott com
muniealion Of thu 25lh July, ls47, 10 con.
firm aha, stated in reeen, letter, of his
prophecy ahou, being dismissed from the
command by the time he entered Mexico,
II The same feeling was pursued towards
him by The administration that had been
praetised. | send also letter from Mr..
Tflsi, in which he frankly admits his inius.
liee towards Gen. Scott The whole cor.
respondence, which the administration has
been careful 10 examine with revising and
snppressing hand, will soon he published,
and then tho country will form lis own
opinion.
The misunderstanding between General
Scott and Mr., Ttisl arose IN this way
When Mr.. Trisl arrived at Vera Cruz, he
transmitted 10 Gen. Scott n sealed packet,
addressed To the Mexican Secretary oi
Foreign Affairs, with request that il should
be forthwith forwarded 10 him. Scott was
then at Jalapa.
lie Immediately acknowledged this com,
municaiion. and though he took aceeplion
to being The medium ofdrlivering depalch,
the contents Of which be did not understand,
his real ground oil objection was, that the
Mexican Congress after the battle Of Ger.
70 Gofio had adopted lhe mosi violent de.
crees, declaring iba, the Executive should
not even make an Armisiice. He there.
iole deemed Il inconsistent with the honor
ol the country 10 send the packet without
direct instructions from the War Depart.
nenl.
At this Mr.. Trist took umbrage. feeling
all The consequence Of his new dignity. and
u sharp correspondence ensued. Subse.
qnenly they met. and personal interview
explained away all Misunderstanding. In
The letter af the 25h of July, IRON which
! have cited, General Scott expressed his
readiness 10 withdraw rom the department
all correspondence touching this unpleas.
anl subject. but said he II ask no fdror. n
The error On the part of Mr.. Trlst. was
in mol visiting Gen. Scott in person at the
outset aud explaining the object Of bis mis-,
sion, ior which he was afterwards rebuked
by Mr.. Buchanan, as will appear from the
documents. Gen. Scott was ignorant u
the whole design. except so far as Mr..
Tfist signited his authority 10 negotiate a
Treaty, eomprehending the general pow.
re 10 make an armisliee, which. II lniu.
dieiously exercised. might have invayed
the safety oi the army. This Scott con.
sitrred military right. and be Justly NJ.
fused 10 surrender il without distinct or,
drfs from Washington.
II will appear, that at least ono thousand
brave and gallant spirits were sacrificed in
The battles before the Capital was entered,
owing entirely 10 the supneness and i'm.
beeilily on the part of the Department
here.
