TO y....--., OF CUMBERLAND.
What should write of fitting verse
For her tina, bids me sing
What thought for flight, shall FANCY nurse
Beneath her folded wing.
For though its chords have long been mute,
And dead its towcry chain,
The Muse of Cumberland calls my lutte
To wake TO song again
Hsr notes Of praise so softly breathed,
Should move the sweetest air
Tho Harp sigh back the fragrance wreathea
Around It by tho fair.
And though she be no Peri hero,
Come down from heavenly hill.
She's Virginia maiden fair,
And loveler-heayenller SIN!
SO rouse my Harp, and le. thy lay
Fly fresh as winds al dawn,
That longer lull the sleeping LAY
Whose balm inspires their lone.
81 sof,Iv swell, ahc still may dream,
Who saw my Muse go fair;
60 swestly sing, she yet may seon
That charmer's morning s:arl
Bu, this, perchance, wore Idle hope
So rouse my Harp again.
Fond hearts may blend Ger Songs weird cup
Yet Love may never chain
Enough for me the nectar breath
or her who charmed so well,
Who wove for so fair wreath
From Fancy's aowery dell.
Then wake my Harp, TO one 90 true
Send forth thy sweetest lay
To her whose own In fragrance grew
Meath Friendships hsllowed ray
Won ,ou,el once more Nor still forbcer
Oh pause not thus!-so iong!-
While Feeling lists lth patient eaf,
And Beauty waits tho song
la sha 40 fair9-Sho's like the snow !
So gentle 2-tTis not valn)
She's lovely, warm and gifted 100 =
My rude Harp rouse again
Not now Alas IL heeds mo not
IT'S tuneless meath my touch'
The notes of brighter dsys forgot,
MY lutte onco loved 30 much
Had but Inspirations wing,
Like thine my cong would soar
Aye, lady bright. my Harp should ring
As II neer rang before.

Tobacco.

We learn from Messrs. B. w. LEWIS
& Bios, of this place, who conduct one OF
the most extensive Manufactures in the
State, that they have purchased about five
hundred thousand pounds, at an average Of
about 81 so per hundred. Mr.. Lewis,
senior, has been through the Tobacco coun-
~try north and west of US, and informs us,
that there is yet considerable quantity o!
the crop not sold. Mr.. AusrIy, OF Ran
dolph sold the brag crop, OF his purchases
both as 10 quality and quantity, it being a
superior article, and amounting 10 thirty
thousand pounds-some ten thousand less
than his usual crop.
The Messrs. LEwH are prepared 10 drive
an extensive business this year, their stock
being ample, and Of superior quality. II
addition to their recent purchases, they have
about one hundred and fifty thousand pounds
picked crops, Of the growth Of 1851, TO-
gether with several hogsheads Of last sea
sons St. Louis purchases, for which they
paid from $l2 to $l4 per hundred. Chew

Tobacco.

The Tobacco market has been very brisk
for the last week. The purchases, we sup
pose, amounted TO a million pounds, at pri-
ces varying from SO 90 to 50 80 per hun
dred. We learn from one of our heaviest
manufacturers, who has been through Ma
con and portion Of Randolph counties, and
who purchased some five hundred thousand
pounds that, that there is yet considerable to
be sold in those counties. We presume our
manufacturers have made the bulk of their
purchases. The crops in this immediate
vicinity are mostly sold, bat large portion
of that unsold in Randolph and Macon, will
also come here, aad the purchases at this
point will equal those Of former years, taking
crops into consideration, and we venture,
too, at prices which will show higher aver
age than those of adjacent markets.

Missouri River Boats.

We observe the Missouri River boats,
are making preparation for Spring trade
Our packets are already advertised. We
insert advertisements to-day for two first
class up-river boats, the 81. .Ange and Ben
Vest. They have both changed officers
since last year, but have lost nothing by
that. They are now undergoing repairs,
and will be ready upon the opening of nav
igotion. We wish the new officers pleas
ant and prosperous time, and commend theil
boats to the travelling public.
The Clara has been improved in appear
ance and capacity, by the addition of 81
! feet to her bow, and remains under the com
mand of her old and popular officers.
Capt. Mccoy, formerly of the Kansas, il
building a new boat, called the Btut
CHy, Of fine dimensions and capacity, t
run regularly to Council Bluffs.
The Isabel, Timou,, and other favorite
are preparing, and will take their place
among the first OF the season.
1t may be well 10 remark in this connec
ton, that in consequence of the high pric
of labor, for hands, as well as an advance q
wages demanded on the part Of Engineer
and Pilots, and heavy outlay the boats hav
had to incur to comply with the new stear
boat regulations, they will most probabl
ask an advance in price on their labor
Passengers and Shippers may look for thi
and ought to meet it, cheerfully.
