CHARLESTON, JAN I0-The steamer Palmetto,
which sailed from Baltimore on Saturday the Sd
instant, did not reach her wharf until 10 o'clock
last night, after detention of several hours for
the tide to enable her to pass over the bar.
The Palmetto encountered very rough wealth

mirably ss sea boat. The cau-e of her delay,
however, was an accident to her machinery on
Sunday last, when about 200 miles from Balti-
more, which required until Thursday night to
repair, during which time she drifted nearly 200
miles out of her course. Steam was gotten up
again or Friday morning, and we reached our

machinery here before starting on her return TO

Patrons, we greet you To the Dramas fame
Her priesthood joy 10 welcome you again.
Around this scene, with varied beauty bright,
The rapt eye wanders with an awed delight
And, as the heart in vain language seeks,
The tongue that welcomes falters AZ il speaks.
Here, rank DER rank, in circled radiance rise,
The fair, the brave, the eloquent, and wise.
The guardian chief, with freedoms warrant
great,
Whose arm uplifts the thunders Of the State
The starry minds, whose measured counsels
guide
Our bark in safety Ger the bounding tide,
Are here; and, feuds forgot, see, side by side,
The Senates glories and the peoples pride
The souls that FASH with mind compelling will
The eyes that quicken, and the lips that thrill
BY proxy, kings and emp'rors too appear,
And Europe's mirror'd courts are radiant here;
And here, Of monarchs mightiest and Of men,
h.. ~ ID.
but what of thesel Should kings these precints
ill,
Without the fair, Il were a dungeon still
Here, star by star, galaxy of light,
Shine those who make glory of the night
A bright patterre, whose sweets the soul per.
Till the sense aches with beauty and with
bloom
IT'S said that ey'n The Dramas Sorrows please;
She owns a luxury in tiers like these!
Invoked by you, the Drama bids her train
Prepare the joys chat sport IN her domain
Thanks to that soul Of worth whose enterprise,
Lofty and liberal, bid this temple rise.
Her torpid beauty, meath your smile swakes,
Her Ministries carol, and her morning breaks.
She now, in turn, reflects your kindly smile,
And spreads the products of her grateful toll
Food for the mind, and healing for the heart.
Here, from the world--the world, an old roue,
Dull with sense, and without gladness, gay,
A trifling tyrant and tiresone toy
How sweet to STEAL and know one hour Of joyl
Here we may pity those no dryel on
Through The dull day, and bless their stars It's
gone.
