Lnte from MEXICO.

We have very late letters from Mexico
private ones from the city of Mexico to the
7th OF April, and from Puebla of the same
date. We regret to say that they bring no
good news IN relation to our affairs there. -
They speak of the horrible effects that the
whig paper and speeches and letter writers
have produced on the minds OF the MeSlcans
averse to peace. They are persuaded that,
IN few months the wings will be in complete
power, and then they will get all they ask
That to them it will be a complete Mexican
victory. They point to the refusal of Congress
to vote any further supplies to the President,
as proof Our soldiers, under this state of
discouragement, are becoming very restive
and dissatisfied, many of them gloomy and
desponding, and Others are disposed to disre
gard all the rules Of the army--some even de-
serling, and doing worse. The greatest alarm
and dread exists in the city by the orderly
and iorbearing, that great disgrace will follow,
if something is not soon done. Some GO so
for as to declare that country so full of to
res as the United States is unfit to live IN,
and they might as well join the robber gangs
OF MEXICO at once, as TO remain the objects of
abuse and disgrace by the people of their own
country at home.
One letter from Puebls is of a most feeling
character-it is evident that the Mexicans re
ceive all the wing slang from this country,
and spread it among the people there, and
cast it into the teeth OF our soldiers who are
living idle, restless and discontenied about tie
camps, while Scott, Worth, &c. ~, and others
of less note, officers in the Army, are quarrel
ling and disgracing each other, and disgust
ing every body uot interested IN their person
al slriIes. We regret deepy-sadly regret

THE EAGLES SONG.

THE EAGLES SONG.
m away. away to my mountain home;
Where thewid winds over the snow peaks roam,
And the avaanehe slides trom its icy dome,
Oh, that is the flight for me!
can watch the sun when he first awakes
From his bed far down in the wave
When backward his coral mantle he shakes,
And all unpinioned his journey takes
Alone through the blue concaye
can tread where foot hath ne'er trod before
Nor the arrow been oosed from its quiver
And the sound of the dashing surge in its roar
When it reaches me there shall seem
Than the flow of a silvery river.
And far below shall the lightnings play
In the vapors that roll at my feet;
While Lob, with me it shall ever be day,
And III pierce every cloud that shall dare to lay
Where the sun my keen glance cannot meet
OH would not be chained to the scky earth;
Its groves too changing, far,
And its roses are but Of ephemeral birth,
oh l ID rather be yOnder alone in my mrth,
And sport with the changeess star.
Then away away to my mountain home:
Ny wing is unchecked and tree
Where the wild winds over the gnow,psaks rOam
Oh, that is the flight for me -
And captive heard in his lonely cell ...
His song, as he rushed to the sky,
As his clanking chains around him fell,
While the eagle swept proudly by.
But he breathed not sigh. and his voice was clear
" Soar on, proud bird to thy native sphere
Soar on-thou art but a stranger here,
Away from thine Alpine height.
YES Joy go with thee, thou knRly bird
Speed on in thy sunny truck;
must finger here, where no voice is heard,
Not asong of love, gentle word,
To woo me to gadneSs back.
" But would not give for thy pnioh free,
The hopes that within me burn.
Oh mo- for they whisper of rest for me,
Where the captive his calling chain may flee,
And joy to his soul return.
Then away, away to thine airy height
Thy journey will soon be DER
Thou wilt feel the slumber of deaths dark night,
While shall plume me in glorious flight,
E' For my home on the spirit shore. ="

Not many years ago, OLD KNICK and the HIGH
ARTIST of New York and myself, were one even
ing seeing what we could see, in the prelyings of
the Park and hearing considerable noise and con-
FUSION in Old Tammany, we dropped in.
MIKE WALSH was making speech, and was a
candidate for office. Just as we had found good
place to see the review, Mike was saying something
about his principles.
OLD KNICK, ever ripe for joke, pricked up his
ears and called out: Stop, stop, what are your
principles 60
All eyes of the 'unterrifed' were now turned to-
ward the last speaker, when Mike sharply said
" | do not like TO be interrupted, sir.
" But demand, " continued OLD kNTCK, " as
voter of the Old Seventh Ward, sir, to know what
your principles are"
We'll, sir,-then will tell you, sir. Mine are
the principles of Ninety Eight sir-yes, sir, the
principles of our fore-fathers, siT-we fought for
them sir-yes sir-the principles of Ninety Eight 3"
g Very well, Mr.. Walsh continued the interro-
gator, and his handsome face wFeathed in smiles,
at the prospect of good joke on Mike, but wish
to know what those principles do not know
them-will you explain them7"
Just at this moment, Mike, who knew Old
Knick, and liked him, too, recognized him as the
man who had interrupted him, and being determin-
ed TO fling the laugh back, replied:
Did understand the gentleman to say that he
does not knoO what the principles Of Ninety Eight
were, and desires information
Yes, sir. ] said 500
Well, sir, then all have to say is, cannot
spend my time explaining political history to such a
id fool"

The YANKEE JoKE.-The following is from
little work entitled the =" Handbook of Joking"
recently published in London, and republlshed in
the last Home Journal:
In order to be Yankee Joker many qualifications
are requisite. First of all repudiate truth; second
ly call every thing fact but the TRUTH thirdly, the
Joker must be well grounded in the works of Mum
chausen, and firm believer in the veracity of Gull
liver's Travels. The Yankee joker must stick at
nothing. After about six months sharp practice,
something like the following may be perpetrated:
I" Talk Of Crockett why Ezekiel Nash, a genuine
Down Easter, could send him to eternal smash
right slick off. Nash chaws chain-cables for
backey,' takes gunpowder for snuff, and blows his
nose with tin handkerchief; he sleeps be-
tween iron sheets, which in Winter are made red
hot Instead of rats and mice, wolves and grlsly
bears prow about his room at night, but he sleeps
so sound he's obliged to be thrown out of the win
dow every morning to wake him. Mother missed
him when he was baby, and found him at last
seated on hornets nest, playing at bo-peep
with couple of rattlesnakes. As an infant, Ze-
kiel was wonder, guess; he had raZors and bay
onets for toys, walked in top-boots when he was
three days old, sucked hot Goals, and used to rub
his gums with kindergarten; they weaned him
the very day he was born, and fed him on pap made
of fint-stones and ignumvite soaked in prussic
acid. His appetite, for boy, was awful; he once
eat buffalo and three parts of horse, and then
asked if tea was MT ready When Nash travels by
railroad, he gets out to walk trIe OF forty or fifty
miles, and waits an hour or two till the train over
takes him. The engine comes up, painting and
blowing, and often says with forced laugh Bust
my biler, EZEKIEL but of all mortal critters you re
the biggest reckon your father was flash Of
lightning, and your mother an earthquake. Darn
me if you amt an ornament to creation As
speculator, Nash is cruel lucky. He held some
canal shares once, which went to such premium
he was obliged to send the broker up in a balloon
to sell out''
The Effects of Gdming.-A gentleman at Balt-
more was such inveterate gambler that one night
he not only got completely cleaned out of all he
possessed, but he actually lost his way home.
