(oF PROVIDENCE, N. c.)

How sweet to me,
Each thought of thee,
When rowing DER these hills,
Where dancing streams,
In silver beams
Glide down the mountain rills.
The deep blue sky,
From mountcins high,
Doth charm my lanquid heart,
While memory,
Still true to the,
VIII oft a pang impart.
Had fate been kind,
And | less blind,
Our joys had known no blight;
And fortunes frown,
Would not thus drown
The hopes ofmy delight.
If thou my dear,
Vert with me here,
Upon these lofty spires,
Where breczes blow,
In murmurs low,
Like notes from fairy Tyres.
One truant thought
Could not be brought
Within our social realm.
But day and night,
With ccasclcss flight,
Would pain with bliss o'crwhclm.
In rural fields,
Where Nature yields
Her crops of grateful grain,
We might reposc,
Unknown to woes,
Nor wish to part again.
Our leisure hours,
Mid blooming bowers,
Would pass so free and gay;
While peace and health,
Instead of wealth,
Would drive dull care away.

Has been commissioned Aid-de-Camn n

of Lieut.. Colonel.
1t is gratifying to US, as it will be to the
friends of this gentleman, to notice his an
polntment. Col. Martin is no mcarnet
knight" He was an officer of the Volt;-
geurs during the war with Mexico. and dis
tinsulshed his courage by many acts of gal
lantry lnthe well fought battles of the route
from Vera Cruz to the capital. AT the
stormng OF Chapultepec, when the terrible
fire of round and grape shot from the cas-
tie carried destruction through the advanc.
ing column, which under the deadly dis
charge began to waver, Mr.. Martin seized
The colors of his regiment from the hands
Of their faltering bearer, and, at The head of
The Stormers, planted them upon the walls.
The Colonel is no less distinguished for his
'allantry in battle than for his amiable and
manners and gentlemanly bear
