ROBERT 4. WuYTE.
On the bosom Of 4 river
Where the sun unloosed his quivcr,
Or the starlight streamed forever,
Sailed a vessel light and free.
Morning dew-drops hung, like mamma,
On The bright fplds of her banner,
Willie The zephyr rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea.
At her prov, 4 pilot bcamng
In the flush of youth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming
Like IN angel from above.
Through his hair the brcczes sported,
And as on the wave he loatcd
On that pilot, angcl-,hroatcd,
Warblrd lays of hope and love-
Through those locks so brightly flowing,
Buds Of aurc-bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing
Music from Tyre Of gold.
Swiftly down the stream he glidcd,
S"!t the purple waves divided,
And rainbow arch abilcd
On his canvas, snowy fold.
Anxious hearts, with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing To the ocean,
Praying that no wild commoii"u,
'Alirlst the clements might rise.
And he seemed some young Apollo
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the wa;er-lags' coro!lt
Trcmblcd to his music sighs.
But thosr purple waves enchanted
Rolled beside city haunted
by an awful spell, that dauntel
Every conner to her shore.
Night-slrades rank the air cncumbcrcd
And pale marble statues numbered
Whrrn tho loirS-cntcrs slilnrhrrrd ---
And awckc to life no more.
Then there rushed, with lightning qu:ckncss,
Or his face mortal sickness,
Aud the dcws in fearful th:ckncss
Gather DER his temples far.
And there swept dying murmur
Through the lovely Southern summer
AS the bcauicous pilot conner
Pcrishrd by that city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river, :.
And the sun umbinls his auiver,
Or .hc starlight streams forever
On its bosom rs before.
But that vessels rainbow banner
Grccls no more the gay savanna,
And tha; pilots lutte drops mamma
On the purple waves no more.

SINGULAR OccURREScE-The following is
from the Centcrville Times: "Under the obitua-
ry head in to-days paper will be found the death
of Mr. jacob Reese. On the day of his death
Mr.. Reese was engaged in seeding oats, and
toward evening was startled by a voice appa-
ren,ly at his elbow, saying, "You may sow but
one, continued his work of seeding, attributing
it, as he afterwards stated, to his imagination.
At every step, however the warning was repeat,
ed and at last, unable TO bear it he proceeded
home to his wife, persuaded by her that it was
only Imagination, and finding that he had no
fever, and did not complain of any indisposi,ion,
she induced him to return to the field. There,
however, the same solemn voice attended him
Mt every step. "You may sow but shall not
reapm and in a state of extreme agitation, he
again ceased work and went home. He took an
carly supper, was shortly after attacked with a
swelling Of the throat, and before sunrise next
morn was corpse.

IIocs.-The Somerset (Ky.) Democrat Of
the 9th instant, says:
1t seems probable, at present, from the ap-
pcarances of the corn crop, that hogs will he
very low this fall. We hardly see how it can be
otherwise.
The Louisville Courier of the 10Th inst. says:
In the Courier of Thursday we published 4
full table of the assessment of six months of
old hogs last year, and the returns from SO
counties this year Of 2s4.74a hogs in the above
counties, over The entire estimate OF last year,
and eight or nine counties yet to hear from,
which will further increase the excess.
The excessive drought which prevails thyough-
out The greater portion of Kentucky will exert
much influence upon the hog market, as corn
will be both scarce and high, and it is fair to
presume that the hogs will not come to the
hooks as large and fat as heretofore. In fact,
we learn that many persons in the interior have
turned their hogs out, and abandoned all at
tempts 10 fatten them for slaughter.

Late from San Juan-Re Building Of
GreytOWn,

A correspondent of the Herald, writing from
Puenta Arenas, on the 18th inst, says:
All those who left Grcytown on the day of
the bombardnent have returned, and 7. J. Mar
lin, the ringleader of all the outragcs committed
has been appointed Commandant Of the town
by Lieut.. A. D. Jolly, Commander Of the British
war schooner Bermuda. The negro McLane,
who led the band Of Jamaica negroes to the
American Consulate. TO arrest the Minister to
the United States, Mr.. Borland, has been ap-
pointed constable.
These are the men that this British officer has
appointed as rulers Of the town, instead of put
ting them in close irons on board of his vessel.
Had it been an English minister that was insul-
ted, these very hich would hare been arrested
ant treated as pirates. Between these two
WfHpte l manage @ 70 arrcs. some poor devil
OF the brig of war Espiegle, sent a force nf
fifteen marines ard eight armed sailors 10 this
place, to take the two paltry iron cannons which
Lieut.. Jolly did not take when hc took the
BRASS piece These three pieces of cannon, with
some other arms, were taken from San Juan
bv order of the United States government, and
placed here by Captain Hollins, of the sloop Of
war Cyanc, for safe keeping. They were taken
back 10 San Juan, and placed under the flag
staff
The town, Pbenix-like, is Using from its
ashes. One month ago to-day there were but
three buildings in the town, which were left by
order of Captain Hollins, that the people might
not be destitute of shelter; there arO now under
the course of erection some twenty-four small
frame buildings and no doubt in 4 months time
there will be rs many more.
There arc some half dozen men in the town
who are very much exasperatcd. and declare
they will have revenge and that the Accessory
Transit Company will have to suffer. The
better part of these men held office at the time
of the outrage and offered insult to the United
States and were il not for the Bermuda, which
is still in this harbor, it would not te safe for
the company to remain on this point; and for
the protection of the lives and property OF
American citizens, it is highly necessary that
our government should make some arrangement
to keep vessel of war stationed Mt this place
until the question is settled by the two coun-
tries. On the night of the 4lh instant we had
three severe shocks Of m earthquake, which
shook every post in the buildings on the Point,
and the animals became almost wild with fear.
The Espicglr left here on the I'd instant for
Carthagena, and from there TO Jamaica. Tho
brig Rcvele. Captain Bartlett, from New York
left this port on the 9th instant, for Laguma,
from there to New York.

SHIPwREcK AND Loss OF LIFE.-On Friday
March 18th the packet schooner Russell of
Plymouth, left Boston at 2. NJ, bound
for Plymouth, and during the severe wester-
ly gale of Saturday morning, a schooner sup
posed to be her, without any sail set, was
seen to pass the Gurnet, but could not
get into Plymouth harbor. On that day a
schooner was seen to strike upon the "Shoal
ground" off Welfeet, and go to pieces. Sub
sequently goods came on shore marked ''Jas,
D. Churchill" Plymouth, land other Plymouth
marks. These circumstance make it almost
certain that the Russell was lost with all on
board. There were four passengers, all of
Plymouth-Mess Elkanah Barnes, painter
and glazier, Harvey Raymond, Henry Weston
and Benjamin Griffin, seafaring men. Messrs.
Barnes and Raymond have left families the
others were unmarried. Capt. VIM. Sim
mons, master and owner of the Russell, was
very worthy man much respected aud esteem
ed. Ichabod Rogers and Erastus Terrence,
seamen, and Alpheus Richmond, cook, Mr..
Terrence had left wife and child the others
were single men. A Mr.. Burgess had engage
ed passage in the Russell, but being detained
to make visit to son in East Boston had
taken out his baggage and remained. A let
ter from the Office of the Yarmouth Regis
ter, states that when the schooner was
seen on the "Shoal ground, three men were
seen to lash themselves in the rigging, and
shortly after the vessel, and it is supposed all
hands were lost.

The suggestion made in the columns OF our
uapes q few days since, for convention to be
held in this city, on the 18th of April next
20 take measures fol- the formation of a colony
Of euterprisine New England mechanics and
fsrv,rra TO urocesd to the west, and form a
settlement on some eligible locality, meets
with the most cordial approval of men of all
,,srt;es The scheme is eminently practical
ou. and il has only to be examined, to con-
vince the most doubling, that in this way if in
M otber the territories of Nebraska and Kan
a.. may be early dedicated to Free labor and
FREQ institutions, and their entrances forever
barred against the ingress of slavery.
The proposal to call such convention as
was indicated in the Spy of the 2lst, has al
ready enlisted the warmest synpathies of some
of the ablest and most public spirited men in
tho State. We are advised that the subject
has been fully discussed in various circles,
both in this city, and in the metropolis of the
State. and that earnest minds are already en-
listed. to further the project by every means
in their power.
Several gentlemen Of ability, character, and
influence, have expressed a Willingness to vis-
IL the territories, the present season to explore
the ground, examine the soil, select localities,
at such points as viii be most convenient of
access, andin short make all necessary arrange
Ynerits for establishing colonies whore the In
stitutions Of Freedom viii be cherished the
rights of man will be acknowledged, and the
great democratic PRINCIPLES of equality and
universal brotherhood fully carried out
We understand that preliminary meeting
viii be held in this city,on some evening next
week, at which several gentlemen are expected
to speak upon the subject, in order to set on
foot some measures for calling public attention
to the contemplated enterprise, and securing
the corporation of the lovers of liberty, and
the foes Of slavery extension throughout the
Commonwealth. Let the Nebraska bill slum-
Der while in the committee of the whole of
the House of Representatives! Let the peo-
pie have an opportunity to take council togeth-
CT upon the best mode of circumventing the
plans of the slave power, and before another
man shall rise up in Congress, at any subse-
quent session, to propose such measure of
iniquity, they will have taken the matter into
their own hands, The 'squatter supremacy of
FREEDOM will have been established and
slavery will be shut out forever.

The following cure for sick headache was
furnished to the Boston Medical Journal, by
DR.. N. S. Folsom, of Portsmouth; N. H.
"Iake any number of drops of Croton Oil,
mix them with flour and molasses, and make
as many pills as drops of the oil used. When
the patient begins to feel the sick headache
coming on, one half of a pill is to be taken
every house in molasses, or something of like
consistence, until it acts as cathertic and
treat the sick headache at each attack If
thus taken, each attack will be less severe,
and in some cases few doses produce per-
manent cure. He seems to think the Croton
Oil acts in three ways: l. By increasing the
secretion. 2. BY contracting the anti-per-
lstaltic action of the stomach and bowels; and
by acting as counter irritant to the BRAIN"

9 wcstwnrd How

Messrs Editors.-I observed in your paper
Of the zlst, a call BY ''Plebeian" for meet
ing Of those who may like to remove to the
West and take possession Of some part of
Uncle SANS wide domains. That is capital
idea. like it much. but 1 observe that the
invitation is to Evangelical Christians, and
such others as are in favor of sustaining the
principles Of the Gospel" The principles
of the Gospel 1 take it are evangelical princi-
pies in the estimation Of "Plebeian," so
that in fact, none but those believing in such
principles are invited to attend. This seems a
fair inference. Ny object is to enquire
whether that is the fact Whether if Horace
Mann, for instance, should be disposed to
out and aid the cause Of education, III new
State, and help to oppose slavery, he would
be considered as q suitable emigrants Whether
John Piepont might go out and help the tenn
perance cause, and incidentally oppose slav-
erys Whether Stephen c. Philips, and his
fine family Of promising boys, would pass
nausters Whether Rev. Messrs. Hale or
Higginson of your city, might safely form a
part Of the company Whether other dis
tihguished laynen and clergymen. too nnmer-
Gus to mention, in different parts of our Com
nonwealth, who believe in the unity of God,
would be regarded as belonging to an sun
healthy religious organization. feel no
pesonal interest in these inquiries as, hap
pen to belong to a sect that calls itself Evan
gelical, and is admitted SO to be. But as the
movement proposed is somewhat important
one, am desirous to know if it is thought
absolutely necessary to introduce intolerance
into new territory in order to keep slavery
out; If it be, shall acquisece, because /
should agree to almost anything that would
prevent the extension of human chattelsm.
But If a belief in a particular creed is not
deemed indispensable, should like to know
it, 50 that may invite several of my friends,
male and female, to attend the meeting on the
18th proximo, who with the exception Of
their heretical opinions, are pretty fair sort of
folks. a HUMBLE INQUIRER.
NoTE.-We do not understand the call to
which "a Humble Inquirer alludes, as intend
ing to exclude any class Of persons from the
proposed convention who really sympathize
in the great philanthrophic movements Of the
age, whatever may be their doctrinal opinions,
and he viii see by asecond reference to the
notice that the platform is not designed to be
a sectarian one Eos.
