BY NANCY j. REGER
The waving winds declare there is God,
That rules the vast creation with nod,'
He speaks, and the black storm obeys his word,
And owns herself submissive to the Lord!
Athis command she sweeps the ocean wide,
And TO the heavens she lifts the swelling tide,
And whom he speaks the peaceful wave be still,
Behold calm, obedient to his will.
Let infidels, no more his name blasphemc,
Nor count religion dolusive dream;
Since winds and waves agrco with one accord
To own the sovereign power of the Lord.

The Disappointed.

The very great delight manifested by the sew
eral "shelved" aspirants for the Democratic
nomination has excited the admiration of the
whole universe and sundry other good people.
Some have thought it insincere, but we all know
how uncharitable the world is.
. The following is from the North American of
yesterday:
'"We learn from friend in Lancaster that, on
Saturday evening, n Locofoco ratifcation-or
what was intended to be misunderstanding
was held at that place, Mt which Mr. Buchanan
was to have spoken, but refused to attend. Col.
Frazer, the leader of the anti Buchanan faction,
was called for and took the stand; but when he
commenced speaking general uproar ensued-
half the meeting opposing, the other half sup
porting him in vain. The anti Buchananites
shouted " Put him OUT" Down with him p
/" Turn him out -" Benedict Arnold with
other elegant phrases of objurgation; and these
were interminged with Misses and all sorts of
interruptions. The greatest confusion prevailed
for some time; and at length, apprehensions of
riot being entertained several Of the gas-lights
were extinguished and the room partially cleared.
Finally the sheriff was sent for, and, he having
succeeded in restoring order, Col. Frazer re-
sumed his speech, and the meeting went on as
usual. The Colonel was delighted that Buchan-
an had been shelved, and he proceeded to eulogize
Gen. Pierce. Our informant says that there was nc
enthusiasm manifested in favor of the candidates,
and considers that Pierce is dead weight among
the Democracy of that region"

Adams & Co.'s Express) copy OF the San Fran
cisco Prices Current of the 18th ultimo. From
it we quote the following remarks on financial
matters:
among the importations by the Tennessee,
we notice 100000 in American gold coin, re-
ceived by Messrs. Adams & Co., direct from the
Mint at Philadelphia. Although comparatively a
small sum, 1t will still be of some assistance, if
circulated IN this community, in relieving US from
the annoyance OF having no small coin--which
want however, is gradually being supplied.
Mexican dollars and soveregns are becom-
ing scarcer every day, in consequence of the de-
mand for foreign shipment.
English shillings and franc pieces are becom-
ing much too plenty among US, passing as they
do for twenty-five cents each--which fact induces
their importation We know of several lots of
francs imported here, and many more ordered.
1t is time the bankers took this matter in hand,
and refused to receive small silver coins at rates
so much above their value; and we have no
doubt the business men generally would co-ope-
rate in remedying the evil.
"There are large tracts of mining country
which must now soon cease to be worked for
want Of water, and remain untouched until the
winter rains set in; and there are many portions
of this country which cannot be worked at all to
any extent, until supplied with water by artif-
cal means This has already been done to some
extent, and larger works are in PROCESS The
plan is to go high up on some never-failing
stream, and, by means of ditch along the side
hills, and an aqueduct of boards over the low
places, carry the water to any required distance.
1t has been suggested that Artesian wells could
be made to answer good purpose, but no one

Gen. Pierce and the Mobility.

A correspondent of the New York Express
writes as follows to the editors Of that paper:
"In the extract which you quote from the
Boston Journal, representing Gen. Pierce to be
one Of the nobility the editor states that the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency is "a
2inedl descendant Of The family Of Percys and the
Duke Of Northumberland, The title being non en-
5mct.'"
This will be news to General Pierce's "noble
cousins" who are thus put to death and made
extinct"
There is a gentleman Of some note now sitting
in the House of Lords whose name is Akgernon
Percy, aud who wears the title and honors of
duke. He is styled the . Duke Of Northunber-
land" He is sixty years Of age, hale and hearty.
He is immensely rich, and if q British god'' to
which Locofoco oratory is always fervid in i'm
putting Wing victories, will help Democratic
candidate, the duke certainly can give his cousin
Franklin a lift. He has plenty Of palaces to live
in, among which the famed Alnwick Castle
and keilder Castle also, Northumberland House
in London, Stauwick Park in Yorkshire, Sion
House in Middlesex, and Warrington Park in
Cornwall.
Now, the Democratic candidate has not only
all this amount of rich relationship, but, as he is
y " lineal descendant Of the Duke Of Northumber.
land he may boast of the mostodistinguished
pedigree Of any candidate we have ever had for
the Presidency. In the chapel Of the family at
; Alhwlck Castle, is cmblazoned in letters of gold
the whole line Of pedigree, distinctly tracing il
DacK from the present duke father and son, t
tne Emperor Cnarlemagne. When President
flerce, therefore, mounts the Presidential chair
we shall have to rule over us lineal descendant
of the Emperor Charlemagne! Three cheers fo
