BAssA, IN LIBERIA.-Our readers aware that
insurmountabe distractions have prevented the
proper settlement Of some parts Of this country.
The natives who had sold and conveyed the land
resisted the elaigrants, and all improvements were
prevented.
President RI Rbers atlength resolved to commence
the settlement by strong band of persons from
Monrovia volunteering for the purpose. The ap-
pearance of such band put an end to resistance,
and the fishermen quietly retired to their farms.
This new settlement ia at Krootown Crewtown
directly south from the old settlements of Bassa,
and abouttwo ,nies distant.
The bushes were levelled, and entrenchments
thrown up, enclosing Of hundred yards
square, two angles of which stockades,were con-
structed for the ordnance. Grando afterwards
proposed to visit the encampment, and sent his
''head woman" to obtain assurance that he should
not be injured or retained. The assurance was
given but Grando afraid to face his excellency,
and finally did not go. Their highnesses, Nine
toed Jack and Prince Jumbo, afterwards visited
the camp, exchanged civilties with President Ro-
berts and promised to be faithful adherents to the
republic.
Twenty new houses have just been erected in
Bassa county, at the expense of this society, for
new emigrants. Each has one attached to it,
fenced in and cleared
An interesting description of the origin and suc-
of the expedition will be found in the letter Of
tho Rev. A. p. Davis, an old man of noble spirit
whose usefulness in Liberia has been exceeded by
few Colonization Herald.

breath of Summer air,
Laden with foreign odors rare,
Stealsthrough my easement, whilethe drowsy hours
Fly from voluptuous morn,
Whose gold and purple lights are born
Where dews weigh down the cool hearts of the
flowers.
The tremulous light of day
Kindles the Eastern mountain way
And to its dark abyss the dusky night returns;
Through green and lonely dells,
Where the full heart of Silence swells,
Heavens orb of fire with midest ustre burns.
In clouds of wreathing snow
Where the lulng streamlets flow
In graceful garlands, round the mountains head
Bright shines the diamond mist,
Like beauty's scarf by moonbeams kissed,
Or angel vestments DER an Eden spread
Along the grassy aisles
Where the green forest broadly smiles,
The moist plump berries shine among their leaves,
And from the irampled flowers
OF odorous herbs and spice wood bowers,
A subtle fragrance DER each bruised leaf grleves
The birds, with jocund voice.
Make all the hills and groves rejoice
Wiz f,wing cadence of delicious song
The clouds, as in a dream,
Move far above the lazy stream
That shadows beauty as they glide along.
Then human life awakes,
And from the bonds of sumber breaks,
Pouring its tides through all the city's veins:
Upon his feverish bed
The languid sufferer turns his head,
And halls the morning light amidst his pains.
From the glad realm of dreams,
Its heaven capt mounts and silvery streams;
From groves and gardens of supreme delight,
The wandering spirits come
Back TO the eddying strife and hum,
To chase dim shadows through this world of night!
Back to the toll and rust
Making stone of our human dust
Back to the crushing cares that come with years,
Which make deaf ears and cold,
To the beggar'd, weak, and old,
And scorch Youths 1owery path with burning
tears.
Ay, these are they that crave
The deep oblivion of the grave!
That long to fall asleep for evermore-
Let US pray their weary eyes
May unclose in Paradise,
When Morning breaks on the Eternal Shore!
