10th November, 1852.

Before the establishment Of this government
and before or about the time that the territory
which now CONSTITUTES the State Of T mes, {
was ceded 10 Congress, the inhabitants of tie
eastern part Of that territory established a gov
ernment for themselves, and called it the State q
Franklin. They adopted a very good constitution
divided into the usual branches Of legislative, exc
cutve and judicial power. They laid and tollcc
ted taxes and performed other usual acts of legjs
lation. They had for the present, it is true, no
maritime possessions, yet they followed the com
mon forms in constituting high officers; an III il
governor was not only captain-general ani com.
mander-in-clieG but admiral also-so th the
navy might have commander when there should
be a navy.
The currency in this State Of Franklin became
very much damaged. Specie was scarce, AMI
equally scarce were the notes Of speciepay n
banks. 1t became necessary 10 pass what we
would call the civil-list appropriation bill
The preamble Of that law begins by raciting
that the collection Of taxes in specie had become
very oppressive to the good people Of the Com.
monweath, for the want Of circulating medium
1t rectes, futher that it is the duty Of the egisa-
ture TO hear at all times the prayer Of their con
stituents, and apply as speedy a remedy as lies
in their power
Acting under theinfuance Of these sound opin-
ions, the legislature Of Franklin passed law for
The supportof the civil list Of which, as it is short
have sent you a copy:
"Be Il eaGctea by he General assembly Of he
State Of Fraakiin, aAdit is heriJy eaoctsd By tho

remember, soldiers, that God is with YOU he rides
on the battle cloud; he sweeps oaward, with the
march Of the hurricane charge
God, the awful and infinite fights for YOU, and
you will triumph.
"They that take the sword shall perish II The

You have taken the sword, but not in the spirit
Of wrong or revenge. You have taken the sword
for your homes, for your wives, for your little

good cheer, for your foes have taken the swotd III
defiance Of all that men hold dear, in bias, &y
of God--they shall perish By the sword.
And now brethren and soldiers I bid yon all
farewell. Many Of us may, fall in the battle Of
tomorrow. God rest the souls of the falen.--
Many of us may live to tell the story Of the fight
tomorrow, and the memory OF all will ever
rest and linger on the quiet scene Of this autumn

Solemn twilight advances over the valley
the woods on the opposite heights fling their
long shadows over the green OF the meadow;
around us are the tents of the continental host,
the suppressed hustle of the camp, the hurried
tramp of the soldiers to and fro among the

battle
When we meet again, may the shadows Of twi-
light be flung over the peaceful land God in
heaven grant it Let us pray.

A wealthy American merchant Of the city OF
New Orleans had married Creole lady of fortune,
and with the estate and servants came into his
possession a mulatto seamstress and her daughter
a child of seven years. The gentleman was so
much struck with the extraordinary beauty Of the
child, which had the purest Italian features and
complexion, that he resolved to save 1t from the
life Of degradation which was before it, and to
free It and educate IT, He sent the child 70 a north
en school, md thcr3 II remaincd until her sixteenth
year, by all supposed to be patrician Creole
maiden She herself knew not to the contrary,
so young was she when entnorth. Beloved 10y
all her companions the idol of the institute, and
caressed by every one she left it TO return South,
as she supposed, to the roof "of her uncle" A
young Louisiana gentleman who had seen her in
Philadelphia, and loved her, and was beloved by
her, sought her hand on her return. The mar
riage day was fixed, nav arrived, when the moth
er, who had been long sold away in La Fourche
interior in order that she might never appear as
witness against her child, reappeared and in the
bridal hall, in the very hour after the ceremony
had been performed, claimed the magnificent and
now miserable bride as her own daughter bond
slave by birth, and an African by blood The
scene, as described to me by one who was present,
sarpasses the power of a pen TO portray. That
night the bridegroom, after charging the adopted
father of his bride with gross deception shot him
through the body and disappeared, carrying no
one knew whittier, his infamy and bitter sorrow.
The next morning the bride was found disfgured
corpse, in the superb nuptial chamber which had
been prepared for her reception. She had taken
poison Education and mind and taste, which
made her see and understand how great was her
degradation. now armed her hand with the ready
means of death. The unhappy planter recovered
from the wound, and has gone to the North,
where he resides. buried in the deepest seclusion,
the residue Of his years embittered by the keen
est regret.

POETRY.
A Beautiful Ballad.

The following ballad, says the Richmond En-
quirer, which we recollect of reading in our boy
hood, originally appeared in the Lansingburg
Gazette, of May, 1910. 1t had great run at til
time, and was found in the scrap book of ever
young lady for many years afterwards, Its pub
lcation has recently been revived. We recollee
of seeing, many years ago, painting which wa
founded on the incident it relates:
Twas on a cliff whose rocky height
Baflled the briny wave;
Whose cultured heights their verdant store
To many tenant gave.
A mother, led by rustic cares,
Had wandered with her child;
Unweaned the babe, yet on the grass
He frocked and he smiled.
With what delight the mother gowed,
To mark that infant joy;
How oft would pause amid the toll,
To contemplate her boy,
Yet soon by other estranged
Her thoughts the child forsook;
Careless he wandered on the ground,
Nor caught his mothers look,
Cropd were each flower that met his eye,
Til serambling o'er the green
lie gained the cliffs unsheltered edge
And, pleased, surveyed the scene
Twas now the mother from her toll
Turned to behold the child;
Tho urebin gone her checks were hushd
Her wandering eye was wild
She saw him on the cliff rude verge
Now careless peeping Ger
He turned and to his mother smiled,
Then sportod as before.
Sunk was her yoce--'twas vain to fly
Twas vain the brink to brave
oh nature, it was thine alone
To prompt the means to save!
She tore the kerchief from her breast
And laid her bosom bare;
He saw, delighted left the brink,
And sought the banquet thergt
