Which my soul would yield TO thee;

On how bleet had been my fate!
But thy sweetness hath undone me-

Hands our cruel sires united---
Hearts were deemed of slight avail!
Thus my youths bright morn o'ershaded.
Thus betrothed TO wealth and State,
All loves own sweet prospect faded---

"MEASURES-NOT MEN

In Missouri, the Democratic party for years
past, like conquering army, ha. been able to
bear down all opposition, and carry all its favor
lte measures. This has been done because the
party has been united---united, not upon men,
but upon measures. Having Been thus united
all ow nominees have been elected---Col. Ben
tom Dr. Linn, Gen. Atchison, Gov. Edwards
Gov. King, and all others. In union there is
strength. We ought still to be united, and will

MISCELLAN EOUS.
Important Invention,

We yesterday witnessed the operation Of
a small Saw Mill, constructed upon a new
and singular principle--that of SELF propul-
sion. The inventor is Mr.. Amos jackson,
of fPottowatamie county, Iowa, who, in CON-
pany with several of his brethren in the
Mormon faith, are now in this city. Mr..
Jackson has spent many years of toll, and
large sums of money, in prefe ecting his in
vention, and our impression is that the
method now presented will entirely super
sede the mills now in use.
This mill is built in such a manner as to
derive its entire propelling power from the
weight Of the log to be sawed, which he ac-
complishes in the following manner: the
ordinary ways upon which the carriage
travels, are fixed upon bearings that enter
into the frame; the opposite ends are provi-
ded with large segments of cog wheel
VOL king into series of cog wheels and pin
ions: thus, it will be seen, that when the log
is pushed forward to the saw, its weight is
brought to act with great force through the
segments, uron shaft having several in
termediate gearings to increase the speed
sufficiently for driving the crank shaft -
When we consider that the weight of saw
logs is commonly six to eight thousand
pounds, we may judge of the immense pro-
pelling power thus obtained, indeed, the
fear is, that means will have to be used to
check and regulate the velocity Of the de-
scending mass, as the segment describes its
area. If the principle, when carried out
answers anything like as we'll as the one
we have witnessed, we cannot see what
use there can be for steam, water, or any
other power than that used by Mr.. Jackson
for saw-milling. Several years ago, while
the invention was still incomplete, it was
submitted to the Hon. H. L. Ellsworth, then
Commissioner of the Patent Odice, who at
once pronounced it the best means ever
devised for saving.
An important part Of the inventien con-
sists in a new form of saw, whereby all SET
ting is dispensed with. The toothed edge
of Mr.. Jackson's saw is made thick, and
diminishing to the back. thus leaving all
friction out of the question, and saving the
setting. The price Of these mills, we are
informed, will be light, compared with others
and they can be attached to wheels for trav-
cling through the country. Measures have
been taken to secure patent. The inven-
tion can be examined to-day at Mr.. j. E..
Wares Patent Office Agency. 6b Second
street. A mill on this principle will be in
operation, in this city, in few weeks

Tell me ye winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do ye not know some spot
Where mortals weep no more?
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Where, free from toll and pain,
The weary soul may rest?
The loud winds softened TO q whisper low,
And sighed for pity as it answered-'sNo!"
Tell me thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spot,
Some Island far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss for which he sighs,
Where sorrow never lives
And friendship never dies?
The loud wave rolling in perpetual flow,
Stopped for while, and sighed to oanswer-sNo!
And thou serenest moon,
That with such holy face
Dost look upon the earth,
Asleep in nights embrace,
Tell me, in all thy round
Hast thou not seen some spot,
Where miserable man
Might find happier LOTT
Behind cloud the moon Withdrew in wo,
And voice sweet but sad, responded-'No

Oh tell me Hope and Faith,

Where grief may find balm,

The "True Issue," dena cratic paper
published at Helena, Arkansas, holds this
language. Read it, for such seems to be
the universal sentiment of the democracy
of the slave States:
"Mr. Benton, so long the favorite Of the
people of Missouri, having resolved not to
obey instructions, the attention Of the peo-
pie and the newspapers seem to be COM
pletely absorbed on the subject. They are
filled up with letters and speeches for and
against Benton. Public opinion seems to
be strongly setting against Benton, and we
have no doubt his political career is about
at an end. The democratic party try all
men BY their principles. They respected
Benton for his services on the currency
question-but when he declares for WiImot
Provisoism, they have no further use for
him. Like Van Buren, overheard he goes" f"
SIT is Calhounism Col Benton is strug-
Cling against in Missouri" says the "Na-
tional Ers," an Abolition paper published
at Washington; and the same thing is utter
ed by the Benton organs in this State. 1t is
false. There are not fifty men in Missouri
who are admirers of John C. Calhoun's po-
litical course. This is notorious fact
Col. Benton has to contend against the con-
sequences of his own folly and treachery in
resisting the instructions of the State he
nominally represents; aid he hes to contend
against the firm and independent spirit of
a patriotic people, determined not to be led
or driven into the power of such fanatics as

fired. The ball pierced the Indians fore
head, who leaped from the ground and fell
dead. In quick and rapid succession the
rest of the party fred again and again,
until the Indians perceiving their dmin-
ished number made hasty retreat, leaving
behind their guns and other instruments of
death. Infuriated at the cruelty of the
savages the whites pursued them for miles
two fell from fatigue and were despatched
by the hatchet, while the third, desperate
from the numerous wounds received, COM
ing to the Licking, where the banks are
high and abrupt, determined to sacrifice
himself rather than to fall under the knife
of the white man, and precipitated himself
into the bounding stream and perished be-
meath its waves. Thus died the last of the
band of the brave but cruel chieftain Ki-o-
da-go.
The party returned from the pursuit
without an accident. Hervey and his wife,
after the cessation of hostiltties and the
death of their parents, which occurred
shortly afterward, removed some distance
into the country from the river, and but
few years have elapsed since they yielded
up in peace their spirit to God. Their
descendants are numerous, and to this day
do they recount to their children the scenes
of the Bridal Eve
This is but one Of the incidents with
which the 81 Dark and Bloody Ground is

mothers and daughters of Kentucky en-

New LEGAL AUTHoRITIEs.-In a case
which was tried in one of our Justices
courts, some rather novel authorities were
brought forward by one of the learned
counsel.
"The Court will observe" said he,
" that in the case of Shylock vs. Antonio,
though judgement was rendered in favor
of the plaintiff, yet circumstances pre-
vented the execution which had been
issued from being carried into effect"
What case did the Court understand
the gentleman to refer to!'' asked the
magistrate, slightly puzzled.

full. The next authority is of rather more
ancient date. 1t is the case of the King
VS.. Shadrac ct al, lst Daniels Reports,

apply the case TO that of his client, but
whether the Court considered the authority
sufficient, we have not yet learned.-N.

THE BLIND GIRLS SONG,

Flowers, they say, arc springing now,
Within the wildwood shade,
And every tree and waving bough
Is beauteously arrayed.
They tell me skies are sWectly bright,
With hues of many kinds
But why tell nle of JOY and light
For oh Pm blind-I'm blind
They speak of birds with sunny wings,
That leap from tree to tree
Of hills and wales, and bubbling springs,
Of ocean, lake and sea,
And those glad streams that glide away,
And through the meadows wind
But ,chy tell me am not gay
For still Pm blind-I'm blind
They say have a sister dear,
Who comes and kisses me
A little cherub without fear,
That sits upon my knee:
Would could see her joyous face,
As imaged on my mind
But ah no feature may trace,
For still I'm blind-Im blind!
And father, mother, sister, friends,
These eyes must never see
Must never answer natures ends,
But sightless, sunless be
On earth | may not share the bliss
That others fondly find
Alas know, feel but this,
That still I'm blind-I'm blind
You tell me, friends, that these closed eyes
Will be unsealed above;
You say that Gods glad Paradise
Beams only Light and Love
Oh then my plaintiVe song should cease,
For Death my night will break,
When in that radiant cline of peace
Mid Love and Light III wake!
