The Waste OF War


Give me the gold that war has cost,

The waited skill, the labor lost
The metal treasure thrown away;
And will buy each rood of soil
In every yet discovered land;
Where hunters roam, where peasants toll.
Where many peopled cities stand.

In neediul, nay, in brave attire;
Festure beftting banquet mrth,
Which kings might envy and admire,
In every vale, on every plain,
A school shall glad the gazer's sight;
Where every poor mans child may gain
Pure knowledge, free as air and light.
III build asyInms for the poor,
BY age or ailmcnt made forlorn;
And none shall thrust them from the door,
Or sting with looks or words Of scorn.
III link each alien hemisphere;
Help honest men to conquer wrong;
Art, Science, Labor, nerve and cheer;
Reward the Poet for his song.
In every crowded town shall rise
Halls Academic, amply graced;
Nhere Ignorance may soon be wise,
And Coarseness learn both art and taste.

Collegiate structures, and not few
Fill'd with a truthexporing throng,
And teachers of the good and true.
In every free and peopled cline
vast WalhaHa hall shall stand;

II being made known to the citizens of the town
of New Berne, that vessel the property OF Rodney
French, of Massachusetts, had arrived at cur Fort
soliciting employment portion of the town assem-
bled in public meeting at the Courthouse on .ie
18th inst
When Matthew A. Outten, was called to the
Chair and VIM. G. Bryan appointed Secretary. At
ter the meeting organized, the following pream-
BILE and resolutions were reported, read and unani-
mously adopted: -.
WHEREAS, in the late attempts to reclaim fugitive
slaves in the State of Massachusetts, which slaves
had escaped from their lawful owners in the
Southern States, Rodney French, citizen of the
town of New Bedford, in the aforesaid State OF
Massachusetts,, was foremost in the lead of the
opposition to the execution of the law under
which said slaves were claimed to be restored to
their owners, and the said Rodney French did by
his acts and public speeches endeavor to influence
and excite the abolition party of his town to resist
the execution of the Laws of the United States and
in said speeches he called on the fugitive slaves and
free negroes to themselves and prevent the ia
king away slaves, and whereas the said Rodney
French has vessel in port soliciting South
men for employment, and in view of these facts
We do
Resolve That we, the citizens of the town of New
bern in meeting assembled do pledge ourselves to
give the said French no support, aid no employ
ment, whereby he may receive one cent from u.s. a
portion of the people of the South, of whom he has
been so liberal in his abuse and further that all
iuence them from patronsing the said vessel, SO
that she shall go away without barrel of freight.
RESOLVED, That the Masters and owners of light
ers be requested not to ghter said vessel the
Swash.
RESOLVED, That the Intendent be req csted to have
the said vessel searched and place watch over her
until she leaves the port.
Resolued, That our sister towns in this State be
requested not to employ said vessel Or any other
owned by said French-nor countenance any indivi-
dual connected with said Rodney French in any way
whatever.
Resolred. That to that portion of the North who
have manifested disposition 10 carry out in good
faith the fugitive slave law, extend the hand OF
fellowship, and we shall always greet them with a
hearty welcome.
Resolved, That the Secretary be requested to send
a copy of these proceedings to said Rodney French
Resolved, That the Newbernian, North State Wing
Republican and Patriot, and Wilmington papers, be
requested to publish these proceedings.

A French Lottery.

gular lottery scheme:
The administration of the lottery of the golden in
gots have just closed their doors, having they say,
sold the last of their million tickets This lot
terry is approved of by the government the Minister of
the Interior being at the head of the presiding commits
sion. The tickets are franc piece, and, after all ex-
penses paid and the value of the prizes is deduc-
ted, there will probably remain between four and five
million francs. With this money five thousand labor
ers will be sent to California. The principal republic
can newspaper, the National has just published Sc
we're article against this intention the part of the
government IT says that the plan is 10 send Il EN-
gratis the Eorado, to furnish them the nstru
mens 10 miner, 10 provide them with pro-
visions for fortnight, and then leave them 10 their
own resources, 10000 miles from home, in barba
country, ignorant OF the language that is
spoken there. Ii implores the government TO alter its
determination on this point and II the four millions OF
francs be spent Transporting industrious French
beyond the seas, they may be sent TO Corsica or
Algeria, where they may be under the protection OF
The rcolor, and where their native tongue is the Ian
guage of the country This advice from the National
is rather late. The privilege of conveying the five
thousand emigrants 10 California coded some

Sonnet on the Mosquito.

The little mosquito, the bloodsucking scamp,
How demurely he sits till you blow cut the lamp
Then he stretches his wings and lights your nose
And does all he can to disturb your repose:
And if he can't bleed You with gimblet or blade,
He will try the effect of his sweet serenade.
This last is the worst. How often I've
That the ocusts of Egypt not half the bore
Of these little tormentors let loose in the night,
Who will sing you a song before taking bite.
Now, welcome, cold winter the north winds may blow
I would welcome the rain, the sleet and the snow
would cen welcome St Patrick to this fair land
If in killing those wngd devils he would lend hand.
