some highly interesting accounts from

The accounts state that Gov. Lane
had issued proclamation claiming the
Mecilla Valley, now held by Mexico,
as portion ofthe American territory
The Governor asserts that this Valley
was left out by the heglector oversight
Of Commissioner Bartlett, and that il
clearly belongs to the United States.
He has therefore, under this confident
belief, ordered Col Sumner to proceed
to the spot with an armed force, and
take possession oft.
Col. Sumner, however, it is stated,
refused to obey the instructions, until
he had received positive orders from
Washington.
In the meantime the Mexican author

THE S.1BBATH.

Fresh glides the brook and blows the gale
Yet yonder halts the quiet mill
The whirring wheel the rushing sail.
How motionless and still !!
Six days of toll poor child of Cain,
Thy strength the slave of Want may be
The sevenththy limbs escape the chain
A God hath made thee free.
All, tender was the law that gave
. This holy respite to the breast;
tTo breathe the gale, to watch the wave,
I? And know-the wheel may rest
aBut where the waves the gentesf glide
I What image charms, to lift thine eyes
sThe spire reflected on the tide
az Invites thee to the skies.
" To teach the soul its nobler worth
This rest from mortal toll is given.
Go snatch the brief rcprieve from earth
And pass-a guest to heaven.
They tell thee, in their dreaming school,
OF Power from old dominion hurled,
When rich and poor, with juster rnle,
Shall share the altered world.
Alas since Time tself began,
That fable hath but fooled the hour,
Each age that rpens Power in Man.
But subjects Man to Power.
Yet every day in seven, at least,
One bright republic shall be known;
Mans world awhile hath surely ceased,
When God proclams his own.
Six days may Rank divide the poor,

And hold His feast for all
