ONCE more the surf upon the beach hath rolled,
More dismal every time II breaks, and cold.
IL leaves-what other surges left before
Torn wrecks of hopes, that erewhie gayly sped,
Pale blood OF waves in ocean.bsttles shed,
And some rare sea-shells beautiful, but dead,
Along the weary shore.
That weary shore. so rugged now, and worn,
How fair il seemed, when first at early morn
Il glowed, sufiused in the warm light OF love
Each gentle wave broke sparkling DER the sand,
And left its track in gems upon the strand
Rich glittering gems, that made the grateful land
mine Of treasure troye.
Another leaf hath fallen sad and sere
Her widowed sisters don their mourning geer
They grieve not for the stricken wanderers hight
But the blight hath brushed them with it, wins
And they are withered ere the end OF Spring
No pleasing birds among tho branches sing
The owl means there all night
The leaves are falling from the tree apace;
No kindly fruit will M the vacant space
Alas Il bossOmed ere the fitting time
And the lewd frost one chilly eventde,
With shiny kiss assailed Its youthful pride
TIL, all it, early promisings beied,
Il molders In it, prime.

Ohio LcrisIafurc.

The Legislature has passed many To-
cal bills; many others are yet before il,
besides some ofa general nature. Bills,
to amend the Tax Law, to apply the
forms and proceedings of Chancery to all
cases at Common Law, to repeal the Black
Laws, t0regulate the sale ofintoxicating
liquors, are tossed about from one house
to the other and from committee to com
mittee; but whether any or all Of them
can be carried through both or either
house is yet matter of uncertainty
When they do pass, we shall chronicle
the result.
A bill providing for vote ofthe peo
pie upon the amendment of the Constitu
ton has passed the Senate; but the House
has not yet acted upon it.
Our local bills, the Rail Roal bill, the
bills to better regulate the Common
Schools of Lancaster and Lithopolis, the
bill to establish the Savings Institute anC
the bill to create the new county of Var
Buren, are still in doubtful positions
They are mined, discussed, referred
reported, discussed, amended, re refer
red, re-reported, and then placed in the
hands of some standing or special com
mittee for further examination
Resolutions Of adjournment have beer
offered; but no time has yet been set fo
that desirable result. We find that tn,
bill providing for the increase ofPay afle
the first sixty days, increasing it TO SO
has been voted down.
Legislation is truly a great afair--wt
mean a great state affair, decidedly so
When the congregated wisdom of the
State is at the Capitol, we should not bt
surprised, that in the conflict of gian
ideas and pigmy opinions, great fermen
tation of thought should ensue with bu
little chance of settling" The amour
Of dregs, too, will be considerable.

slams organized powerful opposition to
their conquerors and up to the present
day have coutended against them with
advantages. The Caucasus does not cou.

Both the President and the Secretary
build up system ofline defence. as 1t is
called. which they easily overthrow, be-
cause no military man would suggest such
an anomaly. They suppose frontier
can only be defended by chain Of posts
bordering on the line; whereas it is best
secured by strong interior defences. But
did not intend to intrude my opinion
on military matters. Settle what terri
tory you intend to claim and tell Mexico
you intend to keep it. She will blunder
aud protest. but never attack you. Her
leaders will have too much at stake to
venture SO far from the capitol She will
have no means to equip armies and main
tain them Oh long marches and distant
campaigns; and hazard nothing in say
ing that two or three strong places in the
interior ofour line would keep them in
check for half century, and in less
time might buy title. if thought neces.
sary. By adopting this plan peace would
come at last with present indemnity, and
instead of raising thirty thousand men
you would have troops enough to keep
peaceable possession ofour new terrific
ry. and might dismiss the volunteer force
To succeed in levying the military con
tributions the President speaks of, and
provisioning the army by force, the troops
must be very much increased. 1t re-
quiros very large force to procure sup
plies without paying forthem. They can
only be gathered by formidable detach'
ments, and our army never has been and
neverwill be sufficiently numerousto ena.
BILE the commanding General to separate
so many men from the main body.
have given you my opinions very
hurridIy, for it appears there is little
time To lose in setting the course to be
pursued. We can at this period with.
draw our forces without dishOnor; nay,
such All act would elevate us in the estima-
ton of the world. The slightest reverse

render such an act difficult, if not imprac-

Mexican territory that people ought to be
told what we Intended 10 do. 1t is bare
ly possible that they might be disposed
to peace upon witnessing such a move
ment.
With regard to the details Of the dc.
fence of the line-not the line defence
they can be determined very easily,

Later from Mexico.

The Steamer Edith arrived at New
Orleans on the 2sth ult., from Vera Cruz
which port she left on goth ult. bringing
six days later intelligence.
The most important intelligence by
the Edith is rumor, which was general
ly credited at the city of Mexico, that the
commissioners of Mexico had agreed
with Mr.. Tyist on a proposition to tho
American government for peace, based
on tho terms originally offered by Mr.
Trist at Tacubay, an the Goth of August
which propositions were at that time re.
jecteI by the Mexican government, and
the reduction and the capture of the city
| followed.
There had been an attempt at insnr
reclion among the Mexican inhabitants al
Vera Cruz, which had been discovered
however by the authorities aud prompt
y checked.
Col. Withcrs command, which was re-
ported by the last arrival to have been cul
To pieces. had arrived safely at Real del
Monte, without molestaton.
Col. Wynkoop, with detachment,
whilst II pursuit of Father Jarauta aud
Col. Rea, came upon and captured, Gen.
Valencia, with his aid, Gen. Arista, on
the lst ult. Gen. Valencia and Arsta
had been paroled.
Gems Torrejon and Mnon, and guard,
were captured at AmaSuca, by Col Dom.
guez's spy company.
Gen. Cadwall leder's command left the
cily of Mexico for the city of Toluci.-
The troops were in fine spirits, and had
reached Serina uninterrupted.
Major Taliaferro, from Real del Monte
had arrived ut Mexico, in charge of $780,.
900 worth of silver bars, being part OF
the assessment levied by Gen. Scott on
the State and Federal District of Mexico
Gen. Buffers regiment was suffering
much from sickness.
The "World" of Guadaaxara, Of the
l7th uli, says that news had reached
there from Maxatlan, announcing that
500 California rangers had attacked the
American possessions at Lapana and
San Jose, and defeated the Americans
burning both places. Three American
vessels had left Mazatlan to render assis
tanco.
The Edith brought forty sick and dis
charged soldiers. Two died on the pas
sage. She also brought number oI
tho bodies Of deceased officers.

Senators Elected.

The Hon. Mr. PEARCE has been rec
ected U. S. Senator by the Legislature
of Maryland.
The Hon. PIERRE SoULE has been @.
lected to the U. S. Senate by the Legis-
lature of Louisiana, in place Of Mr.. JOHN
SON, Wig.
All honor, we say, to the Wings Of
Maryland. They have triumphantly sus,
tained their Senator in the course he has
pursued upon the War question, while
they have administered severe, though
silent, rebuke to Reverdy Johnson, whose
erratic course has surprised and DISCUS
ted the Wing party.
But what shall we say of the Louis.
lana Legislaturel With Wing majori'
ty of two. on joint ballot, the detection OF
two or three Wings has given to the Lo.
cofocos Senator. We can bear defeat
but treason we despise If Wings, like
Giddings, Palfry and Pendleton and Gar
Gin, Parham, Watkins and Bienvenu are
permitted to defeat the will of the Whie
mass, and when triumph is gained and
the Wings should enjoy the fruits of it, il
they render "aid and comfort" to the
Locofoco party, better far give up at once
aud spend our tins in other and more
profitable pursuits. Ifsuch men are per
mitted to be elected as Wings to carry
out Wing principles and then are permit
ted, whenever small majority allows, tC
stab the party that elected them, what
use of an organization? We say, EN-.
phat;cally, that that man is no Wing, who
will forsake every principle and defeat
every measure of the party, simply be.
cause he has a certain crude notion about
some matter, which every other Wing
must adopt or else lose his support.
To add still further disgrace to their
names, these "bolters" followed up the
election of Locofoco Senator by choos.

gance Of their arrangements and the
sumptuouness Of their edbles; and we
hope that the crowd will be large enough

THE DISPUTED TERRiToRY.-The Mot.

of that part of the Nueces country lying
upon tho Rio Grand, petitions the Legis-
laturo of Texas for division of the

Mroagh WilderResS country, almost dcs.

cited to appear at Corpus Christi, it takes
at least two weeks to comply with the c-
totion, besides subjecting them to the diff.
