tinuation of MY Novel;" by Bulwer; u review
of Longfellow's Golden Legend :" an essay on

Ell with several other articles. The review of
Longfellow's Golden Legend" is quite a COM
plimentary one, when we take into considera-
ton the universal proclivity of British critics to
depreciate the efforts of American genius in all
the walks of literature, but particularly in that
of poetry. 'In all candor (says the writer,) we
must own that in our opinion, Longfellow, at
this moment, stands beyond comparison at the
head of the poets of America, and may be con-
sidered as an equal competitor for the palm
with any one of the younger poets of Grea,
Britain. We cannot pass higher eulogy''

MI, 4. si!aa assad thp sanatnp FROM Alabama
upon what authority he styled him az Cocoon
apirator of any one!
MIR. Clemens said he could answer but one at
a time. He then alluded to the apparently
warm and friendly personal relations which ex-
listed between the Senator from South Carolina
and the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Sum-
ner) and the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Chase. J
He appeared hero on all occasions on the most
friendly terms with them; while at home, in
South Carolina, he denounced them as traitors
as men belonging to that party-the Abolition
ists-who had resolved that the Constitution
was compact with hell &c.
The Senator complained that he had calum-
mated him. 1t was beyond the power of man
to lott. Did not the Senator get up here in the
Senate and proclaim himselfa traitor And he
now complained of the caumny that he (Mr
Co. had charged him with being that which he
had openly avowed himself to be.
Mr.. G. said that the Senator was a man fol
whom he had never much fancy. When he
came to the Senate, he (Mr. CT had declined
the usual courtesy. andhad refused an introduc
ton to the Senator. After further remarks, he
said that he had read of a darkness in which vi
pers crawled among the multitude kissing, but
stingess; he always applied it to the Senator
Ills kissing was always to be heard, but he
possessed no sting.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, said that the Sen
ator could not conclude his remarks this after
noon, and he therefore suggested that he would
yield to the motion to adjourn.
Mr. Clemens said there was one thing te
which he desired to allude now. The Senator
| had charged him with having made corrupt
bargain with the Wing members of the Alaba-
| ma Legislature to secure his election to the
Senate The Senator had undertaken to repeat
here what no man in Alabama had ever dared
to do in his presence. The Senator had retail
ed base SANDER, and was as bad as the u.igina-
tor of it.
Mr.. G. then explained that his letter was one
to Mr.. Davis authorizing Mr.. D. to explain his
sentiments and principles; and referred to sew
eral gentlemen who could prove the charge Of
corrupt bargaining falsehood. He said that
he had before stated it to be his determination,
should he ever meet any man in Alabama who
would assert the charge, that he would brand it
as it deserved; and he now told the Senator from
South Carolina, and asked him to markwe IL
what he said-that he pronounced it afou lie,
unmitigated and unredeemed by the slightest
semblance of truth.
And then, without concluding, he yielded
the floor
And the Senate adjourned.

SENATE OFF THE u. STATES
PASSAGE AT ARMS.

BetWeen Senators Rhett md Clemens.
In the Senate, on Friday, the resolution rela-
ting to the Compromise was taken up
Mr.. Rhett said that the reason why he had
not replied to the animadversions contained in
the speech of the Senator from Alabama (Mr.
Clemens) at an earlier day, was that he was alb
sent from the city, and did not hear of them till
shortly before he left home on his return for this
place. Since hisreturn, he had been waiting for
taking up this subject. For this reason he
had to throw himself upon the indulgence of
the Senate for an opportunity tovindicate him
self.
He had hoped, with his alteration with Mr.
Foote, that all personal controversy had ceased.
1t was not his custom to be involved in them.
During twenty years service in the Legislature
he had no personal difficulty with any one.-
He regretted now almost that upon his entrance
into the Senate he found himself involved in
controversies, because of his defence of his
conscientious opinions, and the attack was such
that he had no option but to defend himself,
his principles, and position.
The Senator from Alabama, in his speech
delivered In the Senate on December 23d, 1851
used the following language:
1.-The scene we witnessed the other, dav du-
ring the delivery by the Senator from South
Carolina, (Mr. Rhett) of his harangue, surpri-
sea no one nefe Dut IL would nave been a mat
ter of profound astonishment to the country if
they could have been spectators of what occur
red. There was the Senator from Massachu-
sets, MIR. Sumner,) the Senator from Ohio
Mr. Chase,) and the Senator from New Hamp-
shire (Mr. Hale,) gathered about him in IA sort
OF traternal ring, while the countenance Of the
Senator from n. Y. (Mr. Seward,) was radiant
with gladness. Thus was exhibited the spec
tacle of an extreme Southern Senator denoun-
cling, In no measured terms the government of

There Is sympathy in treason as well as in
knavery; and those who are earnestly striving
to accomplish the same end need not quarrel
about the separate means Employed
Here was charge made against himself Of
knavery and treason; and that sympathy in

Florida md;1ns

We learn from the Intelligencer that certain
citizens OF Florida have recently committed
unprovoked hostilities on the Indians of that
State.
Thus (says that paper) has the faith of the
Government, pledged to these unfortunate peo-
pie been violated, and all its efforts (which for
several years have been entirely successfully to
preserve peace with them been frustrated by
the rashness of few individuals, acting not
only without but in defiance of the authority of
the Government.
This circumstance is more to be regretted as
it is understood the Government was about Ia
king measures to endeavor to induce the Indians
to migrate to the west ofthe Mississippi.

8 difference In the privilege extended to a.insra,
who are citizens of foreign countries and those
who are citizens of this.'
An important piece of intelligence reaches
us by the way OF the Dalles, in Oregon, which
states that great excitement exists among the
Mormons at the Great Salt Lake The difficul-
ties between that people and our government
agents have made them resolve upon defending
themselves against further interference with
their affairs, on the part of the general govern
ment. The report (Which after all may be
without foundation,) says that Notifications are
being erected, and means of defence provided.
All was quiet at San Diego at the last ac-
counts. Troops had gone to the Gia, and no
further disturbance was expected with the
southern Indians. Company f, 3rd Artillery,
with Major Andrews, has gone to the mouth Of
the Colorado Provisions have been sent, and
depot Is to be made at the junction of the ella
and Colorado.
The United States Board of Land Commits
sloners has been in session since the 21st in this
city. No important business has been transact
/ ed as yet.
An action has been brought against the edi
tors of the Stockton Journal for libel, by Mr..
Fremont, that paper having asserted that extern
slve frauds were about to be perpetrated in Eu-
rope by the agents and under the sanction of
| that gentleman. The Mari posa quartz claim of
NH. Fremont was represented in the alleged
fraud The damages are laid at 100000.
In the mines, much Inconvenience and want
has been experienced by the failure of the wa
ter supplies. Digging has not been very brisk,
and prospecting parties have made but few rich
discoveries within the past month. The labor
ers have worked out the water and are disposed
to "lay by" waiting for more. Since Thurs
day, the rains have returned and copious show
ers have fallen in the interior. This will revive
prospects in the mines.
A few bloody rencontres have taken place in
various parts OF the State; but we are happy in
observing these occurrences are each month
growing more rare. In San Francisco, we have
on one or two occasions been apprehensive for
the peace and security Of the city, since it has
been understood that the class of criminals in
our streets has received accessions recently from
the Atlantic States. But our authorities and
the public generally are on the alert for thieves
and incendiaries.
KosSUTH IN THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE.
On the 21st inst, Mr.. Tucker presented the
following resolution in the California Assem-
bly,:
Resolved, That the people of California, in
Senate and Assembly represented, have witness
ed with admiration and sympathy the strug-
gle OF the people of Hungary against the
Inscriptions of the House of Austria, and here
by express their deep regard and good wishes
towards Louis kossuth and his brave compan-
ions, the lllustrious guests of our people and
government.
The resolution was briefly discussed, and laid
upon the table to be called up at some future
time.

ne who SAID the Country scas dull and Lonely.
BY MRS. CLARA NORTON MOORE.
My heart is light within me,
For the days are bright and long;
And my soul speaks out its music,
AS the bird trills forth its song.
My heart is light within me,
ForSI breathe the meadow air,
And in the peaceful woodlands
have no thought Of care.
All nature lies around me-
Serene, and calm, and still
The blue sky bends above me-
Above the arching hill
All amidst the space so wide,
No human form I see,
To break the holy solitude,
Ofvalley, hill, and lea.
And yet I never feel alone,
Nor weary ofthe scene;
For far more grand than city spires
Are all these trees OF green.
The wild birds fit amid their leaves
They're ever on the wing,
And constantly from morn till eve,
Their joyous songs they sing
And down-far down the deep ravine
mere SHdeS murln ring stream;
Tossing about the messy rocks
Wild as poets dream.
And howers-fair flowers lift their heads.
Where ere the eye doth fall
Amid the lowly waving grass,
And Ger the grey stone wall.
All! not with birds, and streams and flowers,
Could e'erfeel alone
For always in wild natures haunts,
Mypurestjo joy is known.
And to my God, who made this earth
So beautiful and so fair
My heart sends up fervent strain
ceaselesspraise and prayer
