as 1T SHOULD RE

The French IN RoME.-A correspondent
of the Herald, writing from Rome, gives
an account of the release of the French
prisoners of war, and the subsequent fra
ternal escort that was given them. The
french had their swords returned to
them, and were conducted into the town
to collation.. Some of them expressed
themselves with good deal of feeling,
and all were completely crestfallen. G rem.
Avezanno shook hands with most and
they were embraced by many of the Ital-
ian officers. In short time, General Av-
ezzanno went with his staff to join them
in the Corso, where the French soldiers
were collected, and in friendly conversa-
ton with crowds Of Romans, some Of
whom were offering them cigars, some
giving bread, and others taking them TO
drink wine. 1t was delightful to sec with
what goodwill and alacrity the Romans
responded to the generous and noble in
vitation of the government. The militia
ry band played the Marscilies, ard then
a Frenchman, who had good deal of
eoquencc and writes for some of the
French papers, was requested by the of
tcers to address the people from the bal
cony OF the restaurant; and he thanked
them, in the most expressive terms, for
the noble conduct shown to his fellow
countrymcn, and he was received with
most rapturous applause from the people,
and cries of 4" pive la Republic Romaine :"
from the French soldiers in the street.
The late prisoners were then conducted
In procession, most of them arm in arm
with Romans, to the gates of the city
but as they passed by st. Peters they
went in of their own accord, and, before
the grand altar, knelt down and sworc
never to serve again against the Roman
republic.

NEW WORK ON THE MEXICAN
WAR

IL. Judge Moore, Esq. has prepared,
and now has in the course of publication,
to be issued from the Press of Nixon, in
Charleston, new work on the Mexican
war. 1t will be ready for delivery to
subscribers by the first of August next.
We have not examined th- manuscript of
Mr.. Moore, but entertain great confidence
that bis work will prove an agreeable and
instructive one. We had the pleasure
of receiving several letters from him
whilst he was in Mexico as Private in
the Palmetto Regiment, and his talents
as writer were richly displayed in the
fine descriptions of the events of which
he wrote. Mr.. Moore, we venture to say,
has not neglected the lesser and more re-
tired par's of the grand drama in which
he acted a part. but his pages will be
found replete with descriptions of man.
ncrs and habits of the Mexicans, as well
as with the more exciting topics Of mar
ches, sieges and battles.
Mr. Moore is a native citizen of Green
vile, and man of talents. We wish
great success to his work 1t must oc-
cur to many as something remarkable,
that Greenville District has had two citi-
zens Ministers Plenipotentiary to Mexico,
and two who have written books of great
celebrity already on that country, and
now Mr.. Moore will be the third author
on Mexico who halls as a citizen of Green
vile. We wish that he may eclipse the
fame of both his predecessors. (the Hon.
j. il. foinsett and Gen. w. Thompson,)

his book is published, some morning (as
Byron did} and find himself famous, nor

be said that glory alone is the reward of
genius, and that those who deserve it
scorn all meaner things.-G Greene1le

THE SONGS OF YoRE.

THE SONGS OF YQRE.
Alasl the good old songs Of yore
Have gone quite out of date
Supposed by "Old Yirginias Shore"
And the "North Carlna State"
No more are heard the pleasing notes
Coming through the Rye"
But turn you where you may, you'll hear
"sussannah don't you cry"
To sing the song of "Homc, Sweet Home"
A girl could not be led;
But ask her for some "favorite tuno,p
She'll strike up "Uncle Ned"
Then finish off with buffalo Gals"
Or else with Dearest Mae"
Forgetting that she ever knew
Some moro heart-breathing lay
Oh, give to me the songs of yore,
That come warm from the heart;
That makes each pulse throb with delight,
And bid the passions start.
Sing me the songs of "Hours that were"
Ill crave not what belongs,
"To the list of "nigger7-pshawl mean
Questionable songs.

From the Baltimore .Sun.1

=, ALEXANDRIA, June Sc p. M.
Much excitement prevails here this
evening, originating in the recent division
OF the members of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church on the subject of slavery, and
the organization Of two official bodies.
This afternoon the only church of that
denomination, in the city, was taken pos
session of by the officers of that portion
OF the church officiating with the church
south, who claim to be the legal represen-
tatives of the Methodist Episcopal Church
and entitled to the building.
The question will ubtless be thrown
into court for adjudication. B.

OUR PRESIDENTS,

First stands the lofty Washington,
That noble great, immortal one;
The elder Adams next we see,
And Jefferson comes number three;
Then Madison is fourth you know,
The fifth one on the list Monroe;
The sixth an Adams comes again,
And Jackson seventh in the train;
Van Buren eighth upon the line,
And Harrison counts number nine;
The tenth is Tyler in his turn,
And Polk eleventh, as we learn;
The twelfth is Taylor, people say;
The next we'll learn some future day.

STOPPING NEWSPAPERS.

A class of couceited, touchy people,
who stops newspaper on account of any
petty paragraph that displeases them,
are cleverly ridicuied by an exchange as
follows. The parable should be kept be-
fore the people:
"a certain man hit his toe against a
pebble stone and fell headlong to the
ground. He was vexed, and under the
influence ofanger and active self-sufficien-
cy, he kicked old mother earth right sau-
cily. With imperturbable gravity, he
looked to see, the vast globe itself dis
solved and come to nought. But the
earth remained, and only his poor foot
was injured in the encounter This is
the way of man. An article appears in
the newspaper touching him in weak
place, and straightway he sends word to
stop his paper. With great self-compla
cency, he looks on to sec crush, when
the object of his spleen shall cease to be.
Poor fool, he has only hit his own toe
against world that does not perceptibly
feel the shock, and Injuries, to no extent,
any one but himself"

rRosPEorus OF InE TwENrY-roURTn VOLUME

The Twenty fourth Volume of the
Democratic Review proceeds to its read

which have smiled upon its progress hith-

necessary, internally, as well as renewed

The prosperity which pervades the coun-

FATAL CAsUALTY.-About six o'clock
on Saturday, a distressing casualty occur
red upon the steamer Chatham in our n
yer. Messrs. William H. Gugle and
James Poince were together in the cabin
OF the boat. when the former, taking up
a rifle standing in corner for the purpose
of examining it, not knowing that it was
loaded or cooked, accidentally discharged
its contents into the head of the latter
killing him instantly. We learn that the
same rifle had been snapped several times
during the morning and had not gone off,
and that under all the circumstances not
the Sigh est reproach attaches to Mr..
Gugle. 1t has been with him one of those
great misfortunes which sometimes befall

INDIAN CORN.

In the raising of Indian corn, some
experiments have been made which have
produced singular results. Mr. Fowler
of Ohio, planted half acre of ground
with three different kinds of corn-half
acre of China, half acre of yellow gourd
seed, half acre of white flint The result
OF the crop was seventy three and half
bushels of shelled corn from the China,
hfty-six and a half of the white flint, and
fitty-four from the gourd seed. The re-
suit was beyond anything before raised
in Northern Ohio, and SO much in favor of
the China corn, that he has every year
since planted it When he commenced
with this corn, it was flint corn, from
seven years. use, it has become so close
iy allied to gourd seed that the kernel is
very much dented, and the cars from l2
to 20 rows; the same remarks hold good
in relation to the flint. From sixteen
years cultivation and acquaintance, it
seems TO bear no similarity to its species
sixteen years ago: it was then an eight
rowed flint corn; il is now some sixteen
70 twenty rows gourd seed; which dem
onstratcs the fact that thi climate chan

that of an othcr.-PiHs5ury Visiter.
