" Alarc had a mountain sire turned from its cOune
leaving the channel bare where his dug, and ae
he was buried the waters made flow for hi
body
From this incident Edward Everett wrote a very
grand poem, which he called "The Dirge o.
Alaric" A poet in Columbia, S. c., copies the
text, and writes ten stanzas of the most unpoetc
doggerel we ever saw in a newspaper. Instead Of
burning the original poetry which comes to the
Crescent by the bushel we shall hereafter forward
it TO the Telegraph. We give one verse; as a fair
sample of what the Columbia Muse grinds ont.
Carolina Poetry is worse than its politics.
And many q monster of the deep,
Ills hdeOus form will lave
Above me- Yet IN calmly sleep,
in that cool ocean grave
We suppose the Poet, when he calls the bed Of
" mountain stream an oceqn- grave " had the
" inland sea of Mr.. Calhoun in his mind. Let
us compare this stanza with one from the Yankee
Poem!
''But ye the mountain stream shall Turn
And lay Its secret channel bare,
And hollow for your sovereign urn,
resting place for there.
Then bid the everlasting springs
Flow back upon the King of Kings:
And, never be the said,

quent representation of the solemn scene presented
there on Saturday last, in the pageant of gloomy
grandeur that memorialized in sorrow the death Of
the late President Taylor. The ceremonies of the
day were favored by delightful weather. The
assembly of mourners in front of the Court House
Square, where the Grafton was given and other
services were rendered, is said 10 have numbered
between 1000 and 5000 persons. We copy an in

frequently proves that the laundress understands
the secret of washing without labor" It's said
to be an establishment more perfect and extensive
n its internal arrangements than any other in this
country or Europe. The system of cleansing is
simple and eilectua and the articles are turned out
in what may be termed elegant style. Shirts and
collars, for instance, are done up equal to new ones,
and have that peculiar polish which is found in
those purchased at the stores. The advantages of
such an establishment in large city are obvious

Female EducatiOn.--We believe we have as
good schools in New Orleans for the instruction of
young ladies in literature, the sciences and accom-
plishments, as there are in any part of the Union
The fact is, there is no necessity for parents to
send either their sons or daughters to the North
or any other place, to acquire superior education
It can be got at home. We have excellent schools
in New Orleans, and they should be patronized
We call the attention of our readers to the advertise
ment OF the Female Institute in Camp street. con.
Quoted by Dr. and Mrs. Macaulay, which appears
in our columns, Of to-day. That institution will be
re-opened on Monday, the Cd of September, and
the ability, zeal and experience of the principals
have already been tried, and have been found moi
wanting. We are glad to notice from the adver.
tisement that DR.. Macaulay will give course Of
lectures on History and Biography during winter
Biography especially female biography, cannot be
too much commended to the attention of young
ladies. Our own country furnishes many splendid
instances of female worth and their lives may b.
read and read again, to make the heart better, and
to purify the mind. Such lectures are much
wanted; and we consider young lady, then, who
is not intimately acquainted with the biography o.
distinguished females, to be only half educated,
and not fitted to enter, proftably, into society,

Tic Party Decisions IN the COHRcH of the
Second MunictpaLity.-We were in error yester.
day when we stated the Council stood seven wings
to seven democrats, and one independent The
body consists of eight whigs seven democrats, and
one independent this last always votes with
the democrats, has taken his seat on their side and
S now identified with that party in the Council.
It may well be said that the Council is equally
divided, and the casting vote Of the democratic
Recorder gives the asoendancy to the democrats.
The democrats have the power and the advan-
tages and responsibilities of the present admins.
tration rest on them. In answer to our cores,
nondent, A Tax Payer we will say that the
old watchmen were dismissed in the middle of a
month. Some of them sued in the Justice
Court, and obtained judgements and issued exc
cutions. The treasurer finding the costs would
amount to nearly as much as the principal, paid
them their full months wages, and thus for two
weeks the Council paid two sets of watchmen and
only one did duty! This was doubtless an over
sight at the time but it has cost the lax payers only
$751; to teach their rulers the efficacy of article
272O of the Civil Code: III, without any serious
ground of complaint, man should serd away a
laboreT, whose services he has hired for certain
time, before that time has expired, he shall be bound
10 pay to such laborer the whole of the salaries
which he would have been entitled to receive, had
the full term of his services expired"
