Faint not beneath thy burthen, tho it seem
Too heavy for thee, and thy strength is small

leg on each-like the vain attempt to Ty-
ierIze The two parties, by which the Jug
gler was laid SO flat upon his back, that
ne has never gotten mp from that day TO
this; ! say how can Gen. Pierce attempt
such trick, to ride at once two such
restlve antagonistic horses entirely :" of a
different COLOR" by which it is almost GER
tam he must have a worse fall than at
Contreras.
As Gen. Pierce's equestrian feats are
Zach talked of just now, and as the last
one has been performed Down East, [
have decided to ask you, Major, all about
1t, as no one can doubt your statement.
No one in New Hampshire seems to be-
lieve what an opponent saws, even under
oath; as, however moral in other respects,
they consider " all is fair in politics. So
we OF the South find 1t difficult to believe
IN New Hampshire sffidavi!s besides, we
heard of the names subscribed to them,
and until lately we knew nothing of your
Gen. Pierce. Pray let US know If he has
really become such proficient in horse
manshp that he can ride two vrious
horses al once One Of them, too,
slave horse, and the other an abolition
horse. Can they go all together
In some respects our Winfield General
is j full head and shoulders over your
General Pierce. In horsemanship Gener-
al Scott has never had fall, except when
his horse has been shot under him, and
that more than once. When Gen. Scott
was wounded in Mexico, it was by bull
let from the enemy, not by fall from his
horse. Gen. Scott never faints in well
doing; and fof craftsmanship and civil
services we think he towers over vour
teebler General as much as he does phvsi-
cally.
As | am a planter in Alabama, the in
qulries make of you, Major. are interest
ing to me and to my neighbors. One of
them, Methodist preacher, who rides the

sCOTT-LUNDY,s LANE,

In the night hours, long ago,
Gathering on the battle plain,
Know ye how they sought the foe,
Mid the gloom of Lundy's Lane?
Face to face the hosts were met,
Heart to heart the lances set;
But hero's blade was there,
Flashing through the midnight air;
See the routed foemen yield,
WINFIELD ScoTT hath won the field
Know ye how our victories ran,
Through the trenches of the foe,
From the stones Of San Juan
To the walls Of Mexico?
How the bomb-shels fell, for dews.
Night by night on Vera Cruz?
How, DER Churubusco's stream,
Waved that sword with fateful gleam :
Still the opposing legions yield,
WINFIELD SCoTT doth win the field
Lo! DER myriad plains afar
That firm hand hath borne its part
First in counsel, first in war,
First in every patriot heart.
Wheresoe'er our flag may wave,
On he leads his legions brave;
In the hottest of the FRAY,
Shrinking meier from dangers way;
Strong that sword of fame to WELD.
WINFIELD ScoTr wins every field!
With the triumphs bravely won,
Like mantle round him thrown.
He, with no proud deed uudone,
Stands on yictory's heights alone:
Towering o'er all heads aiar-
As before the morning star
Fade all paIer lights away
Vanquished by his glorious ray,
Still the opposing ranks must WELD,
WINFIELD SCorT shall win the field
