The Times---Mr. Trist and Gen. Pillow

The Times---Mr. Trist and Gen. Pillow.
The Times tries to do away with the force
of the charge we made against the Admins
tration, that Of appointing pirate to office, by
saying that MIR. Trist was placed in the State
Department by our party President-"Tyler
Tyler did appoint a pirate to Office, such an
immaculate person as James K. Polk should
certainly have removed him, especially when
he was turning out hundreds of other men.
So far from Tyler being our party President,
every one knows that the Wing party dis
owned him, and that he went over to the Lo-
cos and allowed himself to be their tool as
long as they had need of him. We regard
him as the worst President we ever have had,
che present incumbent excepted.
With regard to the honorable testimony of
the New Orleans Delta, in relation to Gen.
Pillow. of which the Times speaks, it is suffi-
Gent to say that it alluded only to some of the
ipterziaea.ions in the "Leonidas letter." which
letter is an almost exact copy of the letter
which Gen. Pillow handed to Mr.. Freaner, re-.
auesting him to forward it, and in which let
ter Mr.. Freaner saw Pillow make certain in
terlineations. Now the similarity of the two
letters proves to moral certainty that they
eminated from the same individual and that,
therefore, Pillow was concerned in the publ
cation Of the Leonidas Letter.
Pillow is damn ed to everlasting fame" and
ali the efforts of his partner, President Polk,
and the press of the Loco party cannot save
hin, from the disgrace he merits.

Another Letter Coming.

Tho Washington correspondent OF the ~
Y. Express writes on Saturday last;
1.-THE rumors are in free circulation to-day
that letter will appear from Gen. Taylor
next week, giving utterance to Wing opin-
ions. and his intention to administer the gov
eminent if elected, upon Wing principles.
The letter takes strong ground against the We
to power, so frequently exercised and abused
of late years. 1t is very clear, l am told,
without having seen the letter, in the declara-
ton of Wing opinions and principles, and in
the avowed purpose of surrounding himself
entirely by Wing Cabinet"

FIRE +! FIRE j.!

About o'clock this morning, the Old
Storehouse, situated on the Wharf, next to
Gov. Kings, now owned by the Railroad Co.,
was discovered to be on FIRE. The fire had
made such progress before alarm was given,
that the building and its contents were al
most entirely consumed. The building con.
tanned about seven hundred dollars worth OF
Pork, Beef, Lard, Cheese and Nolssses, be-
longing 10 Mr.. RICHARD NuTrEa, $50 Casks OF
Lime, belonging to Mr.. CoULL1ARD, of this ci-
ty, and about three hundred dollars worth OF
Clapboards and Shingles, owned by LEMoNr &
HALL, of Brunswick all Of which, with the
exception of one barrel of Pork, were distroy-
ed. No insurance. The engine men are wor-
thy of all credi. for their exertion. The Del
uge and Torrent Companies waded through the
water up to their knees. to get az the FIRE,
the tide being over the Wharf. The fire was
occasioned by the tide reaching and stacking
the lime.
P. 5. It was strongly limited that one OF
the Torch-bearers, (the joke, which zee
thought not so dry went off the end of the
wharf bobbing for eels-or something else.

Fast Driving.

Yesterday, the City Marshal found che OF
Gidding's Omnibuses standing at the head OF
Brattle street without driver. He accord
ingly mo united the box and drove it to its ap-
propria,e standing place. On descending
Brattle street, the horses being somewhat
spirited went at rather more rapid pace
than the law allows. He then entered a COM
plant in the Police Court against the driver
for leaving his team, bat owing to defect IN
the warrant, the wrong street being named as
the one where the horses were left, the driver
was acquitted. He therefore turned round
upon Marshal Turkey, and entered complaint
against him for fast driving. The Marshal
pleaded guilty, and was fined 81 and costs,
amounting to $4,55, which he paid.-4t1a''
Moses Gould, in Denmark, Me-, and Mr..
Packard, in Paris, Me-, were badly injured q
few days since, while blasting rocks.

From the New York Sun.
! The Seamstress.
BY MISS JEAN L. BRUCE


She depends on Tyrants smile or frown,
Her eyes are dim from want Of sleeping,
Her head, it throbs and aches from weeping
And half fed, half clad, they keep her down.
She tolls, while the sun will lend ray,
And all night long her lamp is burning;
With health and strength morsel earning
Oh. life to her is dreary way.
Behold she sits by freless hearth
With none to cheer her-none to bless her;
With none to soothe her or caress her
Why'd this child of sorrow have birth!
Why was she made so fair, and so good?
With none to help her-none to tend her
Without one being to befriend her
Why is she dying for want of food
See the light from those windows streaming,
And isl to the music soft and sweet,
That sounds in time to the bounding feet
There, plenty, hope and Joy are beaming
'Tis there, in dress of richest dyes,
A lady glideth, happy and bright
That dress was made by dim candle light
Each stitch was tear from sleepless eyes
On, on, she trips through the fairy dance;
While, all caress her-bnght eyes greet her
The child of wealth and, all who meet her,
Are fatter'd with cen passing glance
But, pale and cold from the chill night dew,
There glideth gentle girl along,
Who signs as she looks on Earths gay throng-
And the stars that deck the heav'n so blue.
Pale is that cheek, and the lip is fading
And thin and wasted that girlish form
Worn from exposure to each rude storm;
And woe and want her life are shading.
And home she goes to a cold, dark room
None will greet her, though crowds pass by her
The poor forget. and the rich will dy her
She'll die and rest IN paupers tomb.
The wind bowls through the desolate place
The rain beats in and the floor Is damp
Her limbs are cold and stiff with the cramp-
And tears are scalding her thin pale face.
Ye are not men who DER earth will go,
Happy and gay, Astounding in wealth,
With plenty to spare-in strength and health
And know that woman is lab'rng So
Who will see those girls, so good and fair,
Picking their way through the winter storm
And We are SHELTERED and fed and warm;
While they must 60 through the frosty air.
IT'S dark stain on land like ours,
That Woman should work like meanest slave;
Hemming, stitching herway to the grave
Working, half paid, at all times and hours.
IT'S burning shame, the strong should thrive,
While the sick and weak labor for bread;
Working and starving, cold and half dead
With scarce hope to keep them alive.
Labor's we'll, if your wants it supplies
If cheek and lip are rosy with health
For the happy heart, mine of wealth;
Put tho moor ne er know its Injuries.
