GEO. WAsHINGToN,-The Washington
was here yesterday morning, with her lar
board guard cut through to the hull She
was running near the Kentucky shore on the
morning previous, with her barge Yorktown
on the left, when she met the New World
coming down. The New World signalled
when almost at the Washington's bow that
she was going to the left, and Immediately
aiterwdrd came into the latter boat Just
across the Yorktowns bow. The barge was
co Isiderably injured as well as the Steamer
Nothing but ii lot of railroad iron saved the
Washington from serious injury. As the ac-
cident happened in broad day light, there was
gross carelessness somewhere. We received
the above statement from Capt. Carroll, his
clerk and pilot. The Washington left New
Orleans on the 9TH.

B ~ 1t appears that MIR. Hannegan, who
was appointed minister to Prussia by the
Polk Administration under such very extra
ordinary circumstances. and who. taking his
outfit, left this country many months ago, has
never up to this time. even entered the
Prussian dominions We think it high time
for him to take his Unfit and come back again.
No doubt when he is recalled terrible Lo-
cofoco outcry will be raised aho8t the outra-
geous removal of our re1y efficient minister
at the Court Of Berlin!

THE DEW DROP AND THE ROSE.
BY vIRGINIUs HUTCHEN.

A tiny drop of pearIy-dew fell softly. even
as wasted mist, from lis brilliant orb-decked
home, the calm cerulean dome of heaven. 1t
felt at the tranquil hour when the blooming
earth reposed beneath the sable shadow oil
the Night-AngeFs wing-when weary man
Sumbered beneath the sweet spell of rosy
sleep. ard wandered through the flowery
fields and dusky valleys of the Land of Shad
ows-at the time when the bright and spark
ling waves of The deep blue sea, moonbeam-
crested, calmly reposed upon their ocean
throne. The stars, which. like very gems OF
beauty hung in their heavenly home senttheir
rays OF silver light as the dew drop fell OH lis
way TO IL sweet. Il roseate rest.
Ii fell in the damask bosom of beautiful
and fragrant rose and lay urued amidst its
lovely petals as q ruby shrired in a wreath
of snow. The mellow moonbeanIs shed
around it Il tranquil glow, and softly kissed
its bIoominr fairy bowers. There, amid the
nectareOus folds of the sweet flower, while
the great earth was hushed beneath still mid
night gloom, lay that gentle dew drop IN
sweetest converse with the fragrant breath of
the rose
Once" in musical tones it spoke, g | was
IA super bright spirit; yon eXpanse Of blue

wings of Il thousand gorgeous hues, aud amid
the music of spheres, attended each brill

YOU state thus The inside of a newspape'
is the right side at least to such as pretei

out is to place it right side ont, as it Should
be-and, that there is no ''lur0ng side" to Z
paper, except only such whose ''pecuila'
right it is to complain without cause. Thr
may not be legal lornin' but it is the com
mon custom" to which no doubt the editol
will now knock under.
Seriously,-had the editor OF the Com

office and inquired concerning his exchanges
he would have satisfied himself that no lnIu
~ had ever been done TO them by the post
master or his assistant; and he would have
learned also. that the lad he sends Tor his eX
CHANGES is in the habit OF taking a rest at the
confectioner's opposite and there opening and
reading the papers while munching a cake,
and who, possibly, is not over careful N lold-
