Our Lady of Guadalupe and her shrine

The Late Col. r. NJ. Johnson.

The death Of Col. Johnson is an event
of interest 10 the whole An erican people.
No public man of our country has been
more before the public eye, or more dis
tinguished for services in war and peace,
than the deceased. Born in Kentucky,
and having the interesting fact attached
to his person, Of being the first male child
born of The pioneers of that noble region.
his affections were warmly fixed upon the
West as his native land, while his patriot
ic aspirations embraced the whole Union.
He was not sectional either in feelings or
services to his fellow-citlzens.
He was educated in his native State !;
and grew up among her hardy sons as a
cultivator Of the soil. Early marked for
his energy OF character and earnostness Of
purpose, he was always selected by the
pariiality and confidence Of his fellow-ci,-
izens 10 represent Them in the legislation
ofhis native State aud the halls Of The
federal Congress. A large portion ofIiis
life has been spent 10 this city IS mem
Der Of me House Of Representatives and
Of Tie Senate. Wien Nr. Van Buren
was elected president Col. Johnson filed
the seconl Office. Now that he has De,
parted, and neii8,r motive Of flanery nor
interest can irh. cs his biographeF, we
may speak freely OF his public Efe, as it
was spent in the eyes 0f all men. From
the testimony, therefore, OF hundreds who
were eve-wiinesses of his conduct. we
feel authorized in saying that Col. John
son during lis congressional life rendered
more personal sergice TO the masses, Ia
the business transactions OF the govern
ment, in this city. than any other man.

No labor in the cause of the peoples
pecially for the soldier who had periiled
his life for his country, and his widow
and orphans--could fatigue him. No
hours were held too guarded by etiquette
or private comfort for the admission ofthe
petitioner who sought his assistance.--
When appearing before the Congress or
the departments Of the government, his
perseverance and courteous manners were
always irresistible and often, when the
best business men would fail of success,
the appearance of Col. Johnson, advoca-
ting the cause of the suffering claimant
for the justice of his country, would thaw
the official ice, and carry every thing be-
fore him. He was not controlled by par
ty or personal ties in such matters. He
served and aided the suffering of all parties
and circles.
The lovers Of military merit, however,
regard Col. Johnson's service in the army
as the most brilliant portion of his history.
We confess it warns our blood and ex-
cites our highest admiration when we look
back to his achievements at the head of
his famous "Johnsons Mounted Regi-
ment." Ii was hardy band of a thous-
and backwoods marksmea--fearless horse
men, prompt for battle whenever and by
whomsoever offered, and whose military
service was closed by an achievement not
excelled by any Of the glorious acts of
that war. The battle OF the Thames is
known to all. lis details are in every
log cabin Of the Far West. All have i'll
their minds eye the movements of the
Mounted Regimen" from the time the
trumpet call of their leader summoned
them to his standard, till, in the closing
scene of the arduous campaign, they were
placed in order of battle in front of the
allied forces Of Proctor and Tecumseh.
Colonel Johnson assigned TO his brother
the command of the second battalion, to
be led il an impetuous charge against the
British line, whilst he reserved to himself
the stern and deadly conflict with the In
dian force, led on by the greatest native
warrior this continent has ever seen. In
that conflict he led the van of his troops
in person into the hottest fire, himself re-
ceiving five balls and his horse sixteen,
until having in single combat received the
fire Of the great Teeumseh; and in return
slain him by his own reserved fre--he
was borne from the scene of strife TO the
rear, the blood flowing from his blanket
in streams, and every moment expected
to be his last. To the surprise Of the
army he survived long TO enjoy the graft
tude Of his countrymen.
We will not refer TO the almost innu-
merable testimonials of affection which
grateful country has bestowed upon him.
He was, indeed, still in the public service,
as member of the Kentucky Legislature,
when death summoned him from scene
where he had filed no common place
May he rest in peace, and have that mon
ument most priced by the patriot erected
to his memory-the regret and Affection
ate remembrance Of his countrymen -

The present capital Of Mexico, occu-
pying the site Of the ancient Tenoctltlan,
upon an island, which in the lapse Of
wears, has been reclaimed from the wa
ters of the lake Tezcuco, is connected
with the rising ground which formed the
borders of the former lake by causeways,
Iadiating from the common centre of all
directions to the surrounding country
Some Of these are the same which were
found by the Spanish invaders, land though
the waters of the lake have been exhaled,
or have been absorbed TO feed the mighty
machinery of earthquakes and volcanoes,
the meadows thus uncovered are much
IoEEer than the chausses, and the rainy
season renders them wet and marshy in
the extreme. The Mexicans have such
water resources in their power as enable
them 10 food all this low ground against
invasion, and thus to present, in that re-
, gard al least a striking resemblance be-
tween the present city and The proud old
Indian Venice, which it has replaced
We had experience of this in our attack
upon the capital, and one of the assaultng
columns, after siorming Chapultepec, en-
tered Mexico by the same causeway which
had received the retrealing Spanards, as
they hurried away, in humiliation and bal
fled rage, amid the horrors Of ''La noche

My Little Cousins.
BY WINTHROP ri. rRArn.

Laugh on fair Cousins, for to you
All life is joyous yet;
Your hearts have all things to pursue,
And nothing to regret;
And every flower to you is fair,
And every month is May;
You've not been introduced to care
Laugh on, laugh Oh, to-day
Old. Time will fling his clouds ere long
Upon those sunny eyes;
The voice, whose every word is song,
Will set itself to sighs;
Your quiet slumbers-hopes and fears
Will chase their rest away;
Tomorrow you'll be shedding tears
Laugh on, laugh on, to-day!
Oh yes if any truth is found
In the dull schoolman's theme
II Friendship is an empty sound,
And love an idle dream
If mirth, youths playmate, feels fatigue
Too soon on life's long way,
At least he'll run with you a league
Laugh on, laugh on, to-day!
Perhaps your eyes may grow more bright
AS childhood's hues depart;
You may be lovelier to the sight,
And dearer to the heart;
You may be sinless still, and see
This earth still green and gay;
But what you are you will not be
Laugh on, laugh on, to-day.
Ger me have many winters crept,
With less of grief than JOY;
But l have learned, and toiled, and wept--
| am no more boy!
I've never had the gout, u is true,
My hair is hardly gray;
But now cannot laugh like you
Laugh on, laugh on, to-day
used to have as glad face,
As shadowless brow,
once could run as blithe race
As you are running now;
But never mind how behave,
Don't interrupt your play,
And though / look so very grave,
Laugh on, laugh on, to-day

"The late Major Catesby Jones, of "Mount
Sion," Northumberland county, Virginia, who
was a Lieutenant in the Virginia Line in the
Revolutionary War, and was with Spottswood
at the 'Long Bridge" in the vicinity OF Nor

dycc with considerable force 10 drveoff Spots
wood, and 10 lay waste the adjoining counties.
Spottswood, apprsed of he movements Of the
British, had thrown up slight breast-work at
the head Of the Bridge, on the Gosport side Of
the river. Lieutenant Catesby Jones was posted
in this work, against which Fordyce at the head
of solid column was marching when a shot
from the urerring aim of young Jones killed the
English leader on the spot. Lieut.. Jones seeing
his victim "bite the dust" and his followers wa
vering in their advance, sprang over tie breast

ates, cleared the bridge of the enemy, and
brought in the body of Fordyce, from whose dy-

which the gallant Briton was wont TO direct a.
