The Slave Girls Lament

They stole me from my native home,
They bore me DER the wave,
And fettered by that rufEian band,
l bear the name Of Slave.
They bore me from my own dear home,
Though built in rudest style,
| would not ask fairer dome
Ny childhood to beguile.
They bore me from that sunny spot.
Where rills ran sparkling by,
Where blooms the wild forget-me>not,
And flowers of every dye.
They bore me from my Fathers grave,
Where the green myrtles creep,
Where the wild willows sadly wave
Ger those, who go to weep.
They b IRE me from my Mothers side,
My dearest friend on earth,
How with breaking heart she cried,
Around her lonely hearth.
Yes! how she wept, no daughters hand
Was found in her last years
To point her to brighter land,
Beyond this vale of tears.
And here beneath the oppressor's lash,
Pm doomed my days to spend,
But oft this thought will DER me fash,
Death is the Slave Girls friend.
Not for myself would repine,
But thousands suffer more,
And have sader lot than mine,
Dragged from my native shore.

BARBARoUs PUNIsHMEMT.-We have
had our attention called to sentence res
Gently passed by general court mar
tial upon three privates of the company
of artillery stationed at Fort Constitution
in this harbor, which. If the facts are as
stated to us, is disgrace to the service
and the nation, and needs but to be known
to excite disgust for its authors. The
charge it seems, was mutiny in refusing
to obey on the ground Of sickness, the
command of superior 10 row some gem
tlemen visitors to the city. The men
were arrested and placed in dungeon
and kept on bread and water three or
four weeks, until the sitting of the court
when they were condemned to hard labor
for one years, without pay or clothing !;
to wear each "a Id. ball attached to
them by chain weighing some 10 or IL
lbs., and an iron collar Of Z or s lbs.
weight, with Z equi distant iron points or
spikes of six inches in length. sticking off
from it. This collar, we understand, is
not removed at night, and consequently
they are prevented from taking comfort

PEELED to do the most laborious and me-
NAL drudgery in this harness.
We have not time this week to COM
ment upon this barbarous sentence as it
merits, and we shall not hesitate to speak
of it hereafter. if we find our information
to be correct, as we have little doubt II
is. 1t seems to us to bear no just pro-
portion to the offence; nor do we see
how this can be made mutiny. The
men made no appeal to the garrison te
join them in a revolt against their supe
riors. They simply refused to perform
a task in time Of peace not in the line Of
their duty, pleading sickness as their rea'
son for SO doing. For this they have
suffered and are to suffer the inhuman
punishment above described. We hope

MANNERS OF THE PREsIDENTs.-Th
Washington correspondent of the New
York Mirror, gives the following account
of the manners of our later Presidents
Mr.. fillmore is in fine health and spirits,
and | think it will be conceded by every
body, that he is the best looking Of all
the Presidents who have occupied the
national mansion. ILave seen the great
er part of them, but certainly for an I'M
affectedly polite and courteous gentle
man none could compare with the pres
ent occupant. John Quincy Adams, with
whom my presidential remembrances
commence. was chillingly cold, stiff and
ungenial in his manner of receiving visits
ors; he made you keep your di,tance
and feel it too.
Gen. jackson was very frank and Dig
niGed, but not very cordial his success
or, who gloried in walking in his foot
steps, but didn't was smirkingly civil
and politely gracious; Gen. Harrison,
poor old man. hardly had any manner
of his own after. he entered the white
house; he was kind hearted but feeble,
and was soon worried out of his exist
ence. AS for Mr.. Tyler, it is hardly pos
slble to carry away any other impres on
Of him, than that made by his very prom.
inent nose. Mr. Polk was very civil
president. and easy in his manners. but
he always appeared like an over-worked
machine; his feeble frame and cold grey
eyes did not leave very pleasant feeling
on his visitors. Gen. Taylor, heaven rest
his soul ! received you as a grandfather
does his grand children, and you left his
presence forgetting that you had seen the
President. and only feeling that you had
been talking to one Of the klndest old
souls in existence.
President Fillmore differs essentially
from them all; he is man among men
in appearance, overlapping in his height
the majority of men in the human family /;
finely formed, in good health, with a
bright eye. clear complexion, erect in car
rage, and sufficiently stout without be-
ing corpulent. he is representative of
the American gentlemen whom his coun-
trymen may take pride in. He is ex-
ceedingly winning in his manner of re-
celving his guests, takes them kindly by
the hand. says an appropriate word to
every one, smiles graciously to the ladies,
and moves about the room with the ease
and air of q gentleman receiving his
friends in his own house. Mr.. Fillmore
cannot fail 70 be personally popular with
the people, let them think Of him as they
my politically.
