From Central Anlerica.-We have the Costa
RIGA Gazette of February 4th, which gives us
dates from Guatemala to the 3lst of December,
Honduras to the 25th do, and San Salvador to
the 9th of January.
In Guatemala, it appears that Gen. Carrera,
the President had resigned the Presidency, but
that Congress had declined to accept his resig.
nation. The cause of this resignation is some
conflict between the executive and the judicial
power. president Carrera, it SEEMS had sent
MESSAGE to Congress demanding the dismis.
sal of the Chief justice, This resignation of a
Chief who has been for SO many years distn-
! guished, has caused the liveliest sensation
throu ghout all Central America As Carrera
/ has hitherto had his own way in Guatemala in
all probability he will continue to have it in
! future.
From Honduras there is nothing of any in
terest to our readers The San Salvador Ga
zette of the 9th af January, gives an account of
the reception of Don Felipe Molina by Presi-
dent Pierce, writer in the Gaceta expresses
the fear that the loss ofthe nationality of Mexi
co will involve the loss of nationality of the
Central American States.
Nicaragua confined in an excited 1--WE can
hardly say unsettled) state, in consequence of
attempts at revolution.
Fiaancial.-It is well remarked by the Com
mercial editor of the Boston Courier, that "the
financial prospects of this country at the present
time are highly encouraging to industrial inter
ests, aud to useful enterprises of all kinds that
require the employment of capital. The aggre-
gate of the precious metals is larger than ever
before and constantly increasing, while the ship.
ments of specie are diminishing. The banks
are supplied, and the General Government
holds on deposit about $24,OOO,OOO. The great
crops of the last season have been good and
abundant, so that foreign markets be advanta-
geously supplied, and profitable freights secured
for railroads and ships, besides furnishing the
exchange market with a good supply of low
priced bills. Whether foreign nations conclude
to keep or break the puplic peace, the inter
course between the eastern and western hemis-
pheres must inevitably contribute to the advan,
tage of the latter"

SONGS FOR THE POULTRY YARD.
Now that poultry-keeping has become as
fashionable as CROCHET, and every wellregulated
young lady keeps her Cochin China in prefer
ence to canary, we may naturally expect the
mania will soon effect the inspiration of our
lyric writer's. We are convinced, indeed, that
Songs, for the Poultry-Yard will be counted
very shortly with the wants of the age, and
will soon supplant these senseless JFI you-
toCe-metbeh-dS-nOps with which the sentimental
school has far too long afflicted us. We are
therefore tempted to anticipate the national de-
mand, and to supply at once a specimen which
anv poultry minded maiden has our full pc r
mission to inscribe into her album-suppos ing
that exploded nuisance can be any where found
eXtant:
AlR-"Lesbia hath beaming eye"
Lesbia hath some Cochin Chi
ma fowls of most superior breeding;
Every one too fat to fly,
So constantly she keeps them feeding
Daily Weakened by their crows
At some precocious hour she rises,
And while their breakfast forth she throws
Her pets she thus apostrophies:
30 my Cochin China dear
Imean expensive-C Cochin China;
Most hens lay:
One egg day,
But you lay two, my Cochin China!'
Lesbia longed to>see the show
Held lately in the street called Baker,
And SO importuned me>to go,
That l at length was glad to take her.
Curious breeds there were on view,
"Silver-penciled," "golden-creasted."
"Double combed" noticed too,
I'd much prefer them double breastedD
And there were Cohin China here,
Vastly costly Cochin China:
Chicks we've heard,
By ducks are reared,
But surely geese rear Cochin China

For the Loudon Free Press.

The sad intelligence of The death of my high
ly esteemed friend, W. S. GAINES of Tellico
Plains, East Tennessee, has Just reached me-:
and it is my painful duty to pay this last tribute
of respect to his memory,
He died at his Fathers, Maj. G. W. GAINES,
on the 29th ult, after a severe and lingering ILL.,
ness of near Il months;o that most formidable Of
all maladies, Phthisis Pulmonalis. 1t was my
privilege to be very intimately associated With
him during his sickness, until the last months
of his existence. Although just ripening into
manhood-being only in his goth year-he en-
-dured his affection like Philosopher, and died
like christian. lie evineed extraordinary
,precocity of intellect and devoted his entire life
ito the pursuit of science and his ambition to ex-
eel in learning, doubtless bro't him to prema-
-ture grave. His native genius and untiring
industry, placed him first in his class, and first
in the heart of his Preceptor and his amiable
disposition made him the favorite with his COM
rpanions, aud secured for him the love and eS-
tteem of all with whom he associated. "Death
loves shining mark for truly a more talen-
ted and promising youth never fell victim
TO, the "King of Terrors,'' than my much lamen-
ted friend. His moral character was ire
proachable. To say he was perfect-woud be
ITO make him superhuman-but suffice it to say,
his virtues were many and his faults few.
Being nurtured by the best of christian moth.
'crs--to which he incidentally alluded on his
dying bed-he early mbibed principles of NOR
,aiity, and led life well worthy of our example.
Sometime previous to his departure, he embra-
sced the religion of Christ, and gave to his dear
relatives and friends, the clearest evidence of
his peace with God. In his last letter TO me,
he had despaired of ever seeing me again on
earth but said she was perfectly reconced to
his fate, and exhorted me to prepare t. meet
him in Heaven"
Seeing that orr loss has been his gain, why
should we mourn his absence? We have the
assurance, that his disembodied spirit has gone
to seek home more congenial with its nature;
and we have hope, that ''the dust shall rise,'
iuvigorated by a Temporary rest and be reunited
to that noble mind, better capacitated to join in
praising the Redeemcr of mankind throughout
vast eternity.
