The Washington Monument.

The block OF marble 10 &c furnished hy the ''rc-
vilcd Palmetto" 10 the Washington Monument,
we understand has been finished by Messrs. Boyne
4, Sproul, and reflects much credit on the above
talented scu ptors. The arms of Our Stale arc
beautifully executed, and Inc entire piece will com.
pare favorohly with the Offering OF any of The other
states. IT il glorious work-a national tribute
TO him on
''Wlo<c name each distant arc shall gaze:
The mighty sca-mark of those troubled days"
We would ~aggest (aud hone thai it may be done)
thai there he engraved on The block, in the most
conspicuous place, "Thc lllus,rious Soulherner." {"
These words, TO the ears of southerner, would
make that monument more vocal than Memnon
ever was; though it might in Gen. Cass's cars
"grate harshy."

G&:5- We have received from Washington, a
private letter, from :: high source; part OF
! which VIC give to our rcaders-and ask a care
ful pcrusal:
"If can venture an opinion on the state OF
things here ut present, it must be lnGlvorabla
to the cause of justice to the South, So far as
the action Of this Government is conccrnr,l.-
We have several times had the North frightened
! rs to the Union; but as often has some poli-
cal hack Or aspirlnt for the Presidency fronthc
South, rndonc every thin. we had accomplish,
cd Clay, Houston, Bcntor, and Stanley of
North Carolina, have all injured us--Clay per
l,als more than any fifty men could have done.
His location, his long standing, and great per.
sonal popularity, have all greatly injured us in
the course lie has taken. The North ask but
division in the South to accomplish in regular
progression ill that Horace Mann predicts; and
CIay'S miserable offers for what Inc calls COM
promise, encourage them vastly. With one
foot in the grave, and the other scarcely above
it, he would barter his nativity, the rights of
the people he represents, and his honor, in my
Judgment, that he might gasp his last breath in
the Inng-wisIlrd.lor White House Benton
and Houston have not the gaping Arbitration
Of SO many, or weight of character to injure
us SO much; but they make further schism
with the same object; and Stanley, wanting a
" mission" turns his views entirely into those
of Benton and the North. These things have
all conspirc,l to weaken our efforts; and at no
time since the commencement ct the session,
have the abolitionsts been boldcr than now :;
and am inclined to think they will admit Ca
lifornia with all its boundaries and iniq,litously
pass bills for territorial governments in the rest
OF the Territories that they may, by similar
hasty adoption of Constitutions restricting
slavery, come in as sovereign States at the car
hest period and thus deprive us of every foot
of new SOIL secure prrpctrally the balance of
power to themselves, and ultimately, if the
South permit :, accomplish all tIicir.cnds. This
is Il gloomy picture, but in my jud gmcnt true
one from present Indications; and do not
think it wise for the South to look to Congress

The Rirer.-The Bayou Sara Ledger OF the
7th, says: The Mississippi is still rising, though
slowly, at this place; it is now seven inches
higher than the highest water mark of last year.
-Four or five inches more rise, and there will
not be half dozen dry houses in the town;
four inches will bring it in the Ledger Office,
and we know of but one house that is higher
The waves of the steamboats, as they pass by

Something out of the Common.-Monsieur
Proudhon has just married :. young lady Of i'm
mense property. Now, if all property is a
theft" it is clearthat Proudhon stands at present
in the ignoble position of a receiver of stolen
goods, and the receiver, we are told, is fully as
badas the theft. Proudhon was generally look
ed up to as "the Solomon of Communism" but
the result has proved he was nothing in com.
mon with the great name, farther than being an
Ikey Solomons. ntried by his own Laws of
Property, he would most certainly be condemn.
ed "guilty of a-feuce." The only thing he can
do to save himself, will be to restore the prop
erty, which he clearly, by his own confession,
has stolen.-Punch.

THE CORN SONG.

Heap high the farmers wint.y hoard
Heap high the golden corn
No richer gift has Autumn poured
From out her lavish horn
Let other lands exulting CLEAN
The nipple from the pines,
The orange from the glossy green,
The cluster from the vinesl
We better love tho hardy gift
Our rugged wales oestow,
To cheer us when the storm shall DRIFT
Our harves, fields with snow.
Through wales OF grass and meads Of flowers,
Our plouehs their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
OF changeiul April played.
We dropped the seeds DER hill and plain,
Beneath the sun Of May
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robbcr crows away.
All through the long bright days Of June,
It's leaves grew green and fair,
And waved in hot midsunlner's noon,
It's soft and yellow hair.
And now, when Au,uInn's moonlit eyes,
Its harvest time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves,
And bear the treasure home.
There richer than the fubled gifts
Apollo showered OF old,
Fair hands the broken grain snail sl!t
And knead us meal of gold.
Let vapd idlers loll in silk,
Around their costly boaru;
Give me the bow of sanp and milk
By honespun beauty poured.
Where the wide old kitchen hearth
Sends up its smoky curls,
Who will not thank the kindly earth,
And bless our farmer gi:ls2
Then shame on all the proud and vain,
Whose folly luughs to scorn,
The blessing of our hardy grain,-
Our wealth OF golden corn.
Let Earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mi!dcw blight the rye,
Give 10 The worm the orchards fruit,
The wheat field 10 the fy;
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod,
Still let US, for his golden corn,
Send up our thanks 10 God.
