Many an'incident connected with the Amer
lean Revolution, falls blank upon the page Of
history; and for want Of proper record, many
an heroic act slumbers unremembered in the
dim region Of the past We do not carry our
IDEAS Of Divine interference in mundane affairs
so far as to suppose that the finger Of Omnip-
ntence points the path for individuals TO trav-
el, unless, perhaps, where they are connected
with great events; but we do profess to be-
ieve that high and supernatural poweroften
condescend to direct and influence the affairs
of nations. We may trace it from the earliest
records of Biblical History down to our time
and the hand of the Deity is rs visiby display
ed in the destiny OF modern nations as in
those of antiquity; and most particularly in
that era OF our history, when the godlike
Washington sustained and protected by that
invisible Power, led our feeble but conquer,ng
people through the dark valley of oppression
10 the sunny plains and heights of liberty
For any one to be convinced of this, it will
only be necessary for him to trace the histo-
ry of our country from the opening of tie wal
to the establishment of peace, and the recog-
niton of our independence.
During the occupation Of Philadelphia by
| the British under General Howe, the head
quarters were established at the house of Gen
| Cadwalder, in Second street, few doors be-
low Spruce; but for the purpose of private
converse, the adjutant general had taken az
apartment in house opposite, occupied by &
Quaker family by the name OF Hanah. This
was back room in the second story. The
family consisted of William and Lydia Hanat
the husband and wife--and two or three
children. They had one son in the American
army.
On the I'd Of December l777, the adjutani
general came to Lydia and told her that they
should be in the room by O'Clock that even.
ing that he desired she would see that there
was fire, aud that he would expect the fam.

| This, of course was readily acceded to the
room gotten ready, the fire made, and every
thing arranged for the comfort ofthe occupants
but the evident secrecy which seemed TO sur.
round all the arrangements, amazingly puzzlec

once conceived suspicion that something ter

at her apprehensions and made her think nc
more of them. Notwithstanding these objec

upon their proceedings. s..e

my muriatic acid Of containing it."

Fairer than thee, beloved,
Fairer than thee
There is but one thing, beloved,
Fairer than thee.
MOI the glad sun, beloved,
Bright though its beams
Not the green earth, beloved,
Silver with streams
Not the gay birds, beloved,
Happy aud free;
Yet there's one thing, beloved,
Fairer than thee.
Not the clear day, beloved,
Glowing with light;
Not fairer still, beloved,
Star-crowned night.
Truth in her might, beloved,
Grand in her way,
rum WIN ner eyes, DeIoVeu,
Clearer than day
Holy and pure, beloved,
Spolless and free,
Is the one thing, beloved,
Fairer than thee.
Guard well thy soul, beloved,
Truth dwelling there,
Shall shadow forth, beloved
Her image rare.
Then shall | dream, beloved,
That thou art she,
And there'll be nought, beloved,
Fairer than thee.

Little Things,

A spider is little thing,
But once spider saved king;
The little bees are wiser far,
Thnn buifalocs and lions are;
Little men may do much harm,
Little girls may learn to charm
Little boys may shame their sires;
And little sparks become great fires.
A little pen.may write word,
BY which a nation may be stirred;
A little money wisely spent,
A world OF sorrow may prevent;
A little counsel, rightly given,
May lift sinful soul to heaven.
Little losses, day by day,
Would waste old Rothschild's wealth away
A little needle in the eye,
May cause an elephant to die,
A little fault, il left to grow,
Nav cause a nations overthrow;
A little word but spoke in jest,
May rob your neighbor Of his resti
A little sefshness and pride,
The kndest household may divide;
Little vices many times,
Out-herold feonies and crimes;
And little virtues, in the sum,
Great exc llencies may become.

Revolt among the National Guards !---Fifty

The steamship Texas arrived at o'clock
P. NJ. Yesterday, bringing the following
highly important news aN
On the morning of the arrival of the
steamship Texas, at Vera Cruz, on the 18th
inst, revolution broke out in the city,
amongst the National Guards, caused by an
order from the City of Mexico to inccrpor-
ate the National Guards into the TROOPS Of
the line. The revolution lasted tlOee days.
during which time most of the business of
the city was suspended. The regular troops
had possession of the Forts Conception and
Santiago, and the National Guards had pos
session Of the streets and gates of the city.
A brisk firing was kept up during the three
days, and was only erded by the entrance
of regular troops from the city of Jalapa,
who took about fifty prisoners of the Ma
tionals, after which friday all became qui-
ct and business was resumed. About fifty
of the Nationals were killed and many
wounded during the engagement.
The Eco says that on the 20th perfect
peace and tranquility were restored-things
had resumed their former aspect, and there
was no fear of any further difficulty.
The Eco OF tho 22d says. that order was
still undisturbed, and nothing was heard but
congratulations on the return of tranquility.
The infantry. arrived from Jalapa, and were
stationed as guards at the Mexico and Nue.

was stationed in the palace.
Gen. Wool Commander-General of Ia
maulipas, has been appointed Governor of
that State.
Gen. Ramon Morsales has been appointed
Governor of the Palace. General Almonte,
new Mexican Minister to Washington, was
to leave on the 18th for Vera Cruz, where
he would embark for the United States.
The Orden announces, says the Trait
d'Union, that Carvajal has escaped his pris-
on in Brownsville.
A large number of Frenchmen, from CAL
ifornia, have lately arrived at Mazatan.
The decree of the 25th of April, it seems,
had put twenty-four newspapers hors du

The Government has ordered that the
bodies of the chiefs, officers and soldiers of
the advancing army, or National Guard
who had fallen under the fire of the enemy,
from 1916, to 1S4S, be disinterrcd and de-
posted in monuments worthy of their cour-

Another Murder!

We learn that another murder was CON-
mitted near Woodlawn, in this county, q
few days since 1t seems that a man BY the
name of Forbes had, some time ago, enter
ed the land of Mr.. Grissam, from which
time unpleasant feelings had existed be-
tween them. On the day the deed was COM
mitted, Grissam, in company with a broth
er who had recently come to the country,
was returning home from his field, each of
the brothers having rail on his shoulder
to be used for some mechanical purpose,
when they encountered Forbes, who. think
ing perhaps they meant to attack him i'm
modiatnly fired the contents of his gun at
them. The charge entered the body of
Grissam, killing him almost instantly. and
breaking the arm Of his companion It
was doubtless the intention of Forbes to
kill them both at one shot Forbes, it is
said, approached the murdered man, and de-
liberately fred two pistol shots into him.
and then fed
We give the particulars as we heard
them, and cannot vouch for their accuracy,
as cur informant only stated to us what was
told him.
If these statements are correct. this is
one among the most cowardly, dastardly
murders on the record of crime. Up to
the present writing, Forbes has not been ar
rested. [Ouachna Herald.
