The Lament.

ArR-GraUe of Napoleon.
On lone barren hill, sat the Brigadier
moaning,
BY his friends all deserted in sorrow he
cried;
No more shall my steed proudly prancing
and foaming,
Bear his rider to battle, to stem its fierce
tide;
The cannons may roar and the columns be
pressing,
The foe fall around, mid the dying and
slain;
Our bright flag Of stars no longer unfurling,
Shall lead me to glory and honor again.
The gallantold hero, of worle wide renown,
With his own hand and seal has called me
abrave;
Success in war are the same It's well known,
II u fight or Il teint from dangers will save,
The drums may beat loud, the flies sound to
battle,
And soldiers may march to be wounded OF
slain;
But heed not, I'll meet not, the confound-
cd rattle,
For heard and don't want to hear it a.
gain.
They may talk as they please, but burnt bran
ywont save me,
For what have done to be honored OF
known;
I'm Democrat only, but why should that be
The ground of my triumph never eau
own;
'Tis all mistake, for the thunders are roar
ing,
And the people en- masse for Chippewa go;
From each hill and each vale, the millions
are pouring,
And victory will perch on their banners

RAArKD am EreIkEs. The PhiIadei.
Phia Ledger notices an important experiment
now being made by Captain Erriceno, sus.
tanned, tits said, BY the capitelot an English
house. 1t isto double the pressure Of the
air, by an increase of 4sO degrees Of heat,
the heat being produced by very small
quantity offuel, This rairfed air is to drive
piston in large cylinder, and this piston
lis to give motion to the water-wheels Of a
s,eamers We find in late English paper
the following paragraph, which looks like
the same kind Of an experiment:
"The proprietors of railways will be glad
to hear of Mr.. Palsey having clearly demon.
strated the practicabiliy of his compressed
air locomotive. The expense of coke is very
great for the production of steam power
while the expeI Sc of coal for the productions
Iof air-power will be much less, and the ex-
pense of water for locomotives will be alto
gether saved. The expense oftubes and FIRE
boxes will also be taken away. The first
experiment of this invention took place OH
the 25th ult., the I'd on the I'd inst, on the
junction, few miles below Cambridge, on
the Eastern Counties Railway. The en-
gine was charged to only l75 lbs. in the res
tervoir, and ran ] miles in % minutes, the
speed being varied from IL to l5 miles per
hour. A higher speed was attainable by in
creasing the working pressure of the regu-
llator."

CALUMNY REFUTED--An Incideat.--As u
stage company were travelling in New Jer-
sey, to meet the rail cars, on Monday last,
part Of them undertook (who must have
knotDn better,) to slander General Scott, as
serting that he was a proud afstocrat, could
lot no poor man approach him, and was
cruel to the men under his command. This
was listened to short time, but an honest
Hibernian in the stage could bear 1t no lon
ger. THAT know TO be false" said he,
"for ! was soldier under him during the
Mexican wur,--was with him from Vera Cruz
to the City of Mexico-and more humane,
kind-hearted man never met with; aud
thousands can testify to the same that do
! have hitherto voted the Democratic ticket,
but shull, at the next election, give my vote
to General Scott" This was damper,
and shut up the carpers most effectually.
The person from whom these facts were
gathered, was tauntcd, on leaving the stage,
by one Of these self-styled Democrats. "Ah,
you Wings, you have got Bishop Hughes
and the Irish Catholics to back you," &c.
and he being member Of Protestant
church, was reasoned with for his intoler-
ance and bigotry. Further comment is un-

A "SleN OF THE TINES. The Union of
yesterday, under the head of "Signs of the
Times" publishes series Of items to prove
the desperate position of the Wing party,
and the glorious attitude ofits own. The fol-
lowing scrap is the first in the list:
"James E. Belser, a distinguished citizen
of Alabama, has withdrawn his name from
the Union electoral ticket"
The Union will perhaps inform its readers,
in its next issue, that the Mr.. Belser alluded
to was until very recently an influential and
highly respected member of the Democracy,
and that he is now a stsunch supporter of
General Scott. Mr.. Belser took promin-
ent part in the proceedings of the Scott rat

AeRlcuLruRAE SOCIETY We call atten-
ton to the published proceedings of the Ag-
riculturaI meeting on Saturday last, and to
the ealFFeFa meeting Of the Executive COM
nittee on Saturday next We hope that
every member of that committee will be
present, for upon their action, their energy
and efficiency will depend, in great meas
ure, the future prosperity of the Society ana
the speedy advancement ofthe Agricultural
interests of the county.
But while urging immediate and efficient
action upon the Executive commit ee, 1t must
not be supposed that they can accomplish
much good dunIess they meet with the coop
Grafton of all the citizens ofthe county who
are in any way interested in agricultural i'm
provements, and who is notl The greater
the number of members, the greater will be
the. influence for good which the Society
will exert and we would earnestly urge up
on every individual the necessity which ex-
lists for him to lend his countenance and his
aid to the enterprise. It seems TO US there
will be no difficulty whatever in obtaining q
thousand members, and in this case the re-
ceipts will lreach an amount which will offeI
the highest inducements in the way of pre-.
miums for improvements and discoveries in
the various branches Of Agriculture.
At this time, we are..not prepared to make
any speculations upon the plan for future
progress, which may be adoptedby the com
mittee, but at their meeting on Saturday
next they viii do all that is necessary fol
present action. This, however, should no
deter any one from becoming member o
the Society Immediately, as It is ofthe high
est Importance, in our judgment, to hold tn
first Fair, the coming Fall, and this can only
be done by the speedy cooperation Of ou
citizens. The first Fair held, and we have
no fears Of the progress Of the Society uDt
its permanent existence.
We have one of the best agriculture
counties in the State, whether considered in
relation to the variety ofits products or the
capacity of the land for producing large anC
excellent crops. Improvements, therefore

in the breed and breeding ofhorses, cattle

LATE FROM UTAH TgRRIToRY.-Ten Nor

arrived at st. Louis from Salt Lake, bringing
dates to the 9Th of May Nothing is report
ed of material interest. The crops looked
uncommon well. A wooden factory had Just
been put into operation. Good health pre-
vailed. New settlements were being made
in number of the surrounding valleys. A
large amount ofsugar,be beet had been sown. in
anticipation of the arrival of the machinery

mong them, and they were in fine spirits.
Only about $50 or 200 graves were seen a.
long the whole route. Captain Gibson's
company, however, had lost 10 men. No
Indians were met on the route.

Acctdent.-This morning, when the coach
from the West was within three and halt
miles of this city, the horses became frighten-
ed and ran off the pike, upsetting the coach
and iniuring more or less all save one of the
passengers There were twelve in all,three
or four upon the outside. One lady had her
wrist spraned and was otherwise severely
bruised;a gentleman had bone in the back
part of his hand broken and received Sc
we're cash above the eye; another, 1t is sup
posed, had his shoulder blade disloeated; one
was cut above the eye and another received
severe cash in the head. One of the lady
passengers had severe cut upon the fore
head. In addition to these wounds, they
were severely bruised, fate which all the
passengers met with, with the exception
named above; but none dangerously Three
of them proceeded on to Zanesvilln, the rest
remaining here. 1t was an unlucky acci-
dent, but a fortunate escape.
We do not think that any blame can be
attached to the driver. He is one of the
most careful upon the route. Some tar had
been spilled upon the road and the horses
coming suddenly upon it, glistening as it was
IN the sun, became suddenly unmanageable,
and before he had time to rein them up, the
coach was thrown down an embankment
some five or six feet.

GEN. PILLOW says that Gen, Pierce, af-
ter falling from his horse at Contreras--
"lay all night among the sharp pointed
rocks oil lava" Judge Douglass says that
the rocks of lava were "red-hot." Now we
demand of the Colonels of the Times, who
tell us TINT they were eye-witnesses of Gen.
P.'s misfortune, why they didn't take him to
comfortable quarters instead of permitting
him to lie all night upon the rcd-hot rocks.
There would have been no danger of their
burning their feet, as we understand they
are always provided with sOiumander-skin
boots.
You should be ashamed Of yourselves,
Coloncls, thus to have neglected your fu-
ture nominee. Broiling all day under a hot
sum- is nothing at all to ,broiling all night
upon burning lava. The Concord IN. H.
