OLD GRIMES.
8y ALFRED c. GREENE.

O!d Grimes 10 dead that good old man,
We meier shall see him more;
He used TO wear long black coat,
All buttoned down before.
his heart was open a. the day.
Els feelings all were trne;
His hair va, some inclined To gray,
He wore 1t in queue.
whene'er he heard the voice Of pain,
His heart with pity burned;
The large, round head upon his cane
From ivory was turned.
Kind words he ever had for all,
He knew no base design;
His eyes were rather dark and small,
His nose was aqualine.
He lived at peace with all mankind,
In friendship he was true;
His coat had pocket-holes behind,
His pantaloons were blue.
Unframed, the sin which earth pollutes
He passed securely o'er;
And never wore pair Of boots
For thirty years or more.
But good old Grimes Is now at rest,
Nor fears mIsfortune's frown;
He wore doube-breasted vest,
The stripes ran up and down.
He modest merit sought to md,
And pay II its desert;
He had no malice in his mind,
Nor ruf1es on his shirt.
His neighbors he did not abuse,
Was sociablc and gay;
He wore large buckles on his shoes,
And changed them every day.
His knowledge hid from public gaze,
He did not bring to view;
Nor make noise town meeting Gays,
As many people do.
His worldly goods he never threw
In trust to fortunes chances;
But lived as all his brothers do,
In easy circumstances.
Thus undisturbed by anxious cares,
His peaceful moments ran;
And every body said he was
A fine old gentleman.
Old Mister Grimes ia in his grave;
Peace TO his ashes be,)
The world Is so much civilized,
Few IKE him we do see,

EAsrpoRr, Miss. Oct. Is.

One of the most atrocious and deliber-
ate murders ever perpetrated, was COM
mitted opposite this place in Alabama
yesterday afternoon, by man named
Warren. upon Mr.. Lambert, very re-
spectacle and peaceable man. 1t seems,
from what is known, that Warren, sever
al months ago, had paid his addresses to a
daughter of Mr.. LIS and had, during their
friendship, presented her with breastpin.
Through some cause their friendship was
broken, and Warren then accused her of
stealing the breastpin, and had her arres-
ted as thief. She was acquitted. War
rem then threatened Mr.. Lambert's life.
Yesterday Lambert was engaged in haul
ing corn, and while driving his team along
the road, met Warren, who had double
barrel gun. He told Lambert he was go
ing to kill him. Lambert was sitting on
his wagon when Warren fred npon him
with one barrel. The charge broke Mr..
Lambert's left arm, and entered his side,
and as he fell Warren discharged the other
barrel into Mr.. Is hip. Twenty-three
buck shot entered his person, killing him
instantly. Warren was arrested and ex-
amined this evening, from which the above
facts were obtained. The public feeling
is greatly excited against him.

The QUEEN OF SPAIN WANTS War;
The N. Y. Sun, on the authority of pri.
vate letter from Madrid, states that hel
august ladyship, the Queen of Spain, in
reply to petition from Cuban to GER
tain concessions to that ill-governed is
land, said that she deeply regretted that
she was not the mistress of her own de-
sires, or she would at once declare war
against the United States, come what
might. 1t is well there are some wiser
people than herselfin the limits of her do
minions, or the poor dear little stupid
might be accommodated to her hearts con-
tent. 1t is real charity to deny her gra-
cious majesty the Indulgence of her whim
on this occasion. The desire for war,
however, is said to be universal in Spain,
by the same writer.

The TarifI of ,4s Not restored.

We have been expecting to hear one uni
versal howl Of lamentation from the whig
press, that no change has been made and
scarcely attempted, in the. present ruinous
tariff. We can account for this silence in
no other way than by supposing that, like
the cells we read Of, they have got used to it;
or, like the fellow that old father Noah refu-
sed to take aboard of his ark, they begin TO
think there will be but slight sprinkle of
rain anyhow. Perhaps we shall hear from
them about election time; or, perhaps. they
have concluded 10 say nothing about it, till
the carpet on the east room, imported by
General Taylor from England, is worn out.

Explosion of the Steamer Oregon and
Loss of GO Lives.

LoUlsVlLLEy Macn o.. NJ
The steamer Oregon, bound hence for New
Orleans, when passing through the shute of
Island 81, in the Mississippi, about o'clock,
r.. NJ, on the I'd inst, burst her boiler with
tremendous force, carrying away her forward
cabin, and killing and scalding at least sixty
persons. She was heavily loaded, and had
on board from eighty to one hundred passen-
gers. Dinner was just over, and the passen-
gers were principally in the hall and at the
forward guard at the time of the explosion.
After which she Immediately took fire and
burned to the waters edge.
Had it not been for the steamer Iroquois
which was wooding about mile off at the
time, all on board would have perished, as
the Oregon was in the channel and under full
headway. When Capt. Lee, Of the lroquois,
saw what had taken place, he Immediately
put off to the assistance of the Oregon, but
was necessarily detained for short time, in
consequence of one of her cylinder heads be-
ing out for the purpose of making some re-
pairs.
He vever, reached the wreck as the flames
burst through the hurricane deck. Men,
women and children collected together on
the after part of the boat with the raging
flames almost around them, and no means Of
escape but to jump into the river. The
shrieks of-the women and the phrenzy Of the
men, was almost beyond conception, and the
groans of the dying and scalded would melt
a heart of adamant.
Capt Lee ordered the Iroquois to run with
her bow aft Of the Oregon, and placed
ladder from the deck of the Oregon 10 the
lover deck Of the Iroquois, along which all
on board OF the wreck who were able to
walk passed on board Of the Iroquois.
After all were take n on board which could
be found, and as the Iroqouis was backing
away, Capt Montgomery was the last man
10 leave the wreck, and in attempting to
escape on the ladder. fell into The river and
was badly bruised, but recovered.
All the books and papers Of the boat wers
lost.
