A, Wilmington, Delaware, Oh the
fourth, Mr.. Valentine, u member oi the
City Council, was arres.ed for firing
crackers. A despatch says Valentine
was taken before the Mayor, who was
abou, to fine him. Valentine thereupon
very grossly insulted the Mayor, aud he
was committed to the cell for contempt
This created much feeling among the
parties. and $4,000 bail was refused
About IL o'clock friends went TO the
house Of the Mayor aud undertook tc
mob hiln. The Mayor came out with
pistol in each hand, and dispersed tht
mob after making several arrests. The
| mob handled the Mayor very roughly
tearing his clothes nearly off. A citizel
offered thousand dollars to any set .
men who would take valentine on, OF tn
cell by main force. There is no telling
where the thing may end, as the iriend
Of Valentine appear determined to carr,
the matter to extremes.

on being arrested. was sentenced to have

The fi-h, between Poole an Morrissey
IN New York is Justly condemned by all
the papers as an outrage upon decorum
which should be severely punished. The
DISPUTE between them arose IN bar
room -an appointment was made to fight
the mex, morning on Amos street wharf,
at 2 o'clock. Both parties were on the
ground and went at each other directly.
Poole, who is said be a tremendous
rough and tumble fighter, avoided Nor
rissey's first blow, caught him by the leg
got him down. and in few moments had
him pounded to jelly. Morrissey pre-
sented shocking spectacle, and scarcely
could any Of hrs friends recognize him
His eyes were closed, and one Of then
was found to be gouged from one end o.
the socket which injury will probably I'm
pare his sight for life. There were larg'
lunches on all parts Of his head. III
face. above and below the eyes, Is black
ened by violent blows given on the brldg'
of his nose. There is hole in his chee
and his lips are chawed up in fr'gh,tu
manner. He also sustained fearful inJu
ries about the breast, arms, and bach
where Poole kicked him with heavy CO"
hide boots after he had halloed enough
So severe are Morrissey's injuries that
is very doubtful whether he will be abl
ia walk the streets for the next s.
months.

hear the far of voyager's horn,
see the Yankees trail
His foot on every mountain pass,
On every stream his sail. ....
He's whistling round St. Mary's Falls,
Upon his loaded train;
He's leaving on the Pictured Rocks
His fresh tobacco stain.
hear the mattock in the mines,
The axe-stroke in the dell,
The elamor from the Indian lodge,
The Jesuit's chapel bell!
see the swarthy trappers come
From Mississippi's springs;
And war-chiefs with their painted bow.
And crests Of eagle wings.
Behind the squaw's birchen canoe,
The steamer smokes and raves:
And city lots are staked for sale
Above old Indian graves.
BY forest lake and waterfall,
Isee the pediar's show;
The mighty mingling with the mean,
The lofty with the low.
hear the tread Of pioneers
OF nations yet to be;
The first low wash of waves where soon
Shall roll human sea.
The iadimcats Of empire here,
Are plastic yet and warm;
The chaos Of mighty world
ID rounding into form!
Each rude and jostling fragment soon
In fitting place shall fad =
The raw materials Of a stats,
lis muscles and Its mind!
And westering still the star which leads
The new world IN its train,
Has tipped with FIRE the icy spears
or many mountain chain.
The snowy cones Of Oregon
Are kindled on its way,
And Cslifornia's golden sands
Clean brighter in its ray!

The following from the ST. Louis Her.
aid goes to confirm the opinion that Mis-
souri, will probably become free State
within few years. ags sa. .s
In Misoasi, slavery u At stand, if
not retrograding. I. may Be sald with
almoss literal truth. thas the slaveholding
imm,grasion Of Missouri entirely ceased
three years -. There 10 now a slave
holding emigration from Missouri. Be-
sides, slaves ass conssansly being sold to
the south. Thsrs Are no more slaves in
Missouri to-day than shsrv were three
years ago. The prospect is, that-ien
years hence the number will be greatly
less than It is now. ....
There are now in the State 700 900
whites, and $1,000 slaves, being more
more than eight freeman to one slave
Ten years hence, likely enough, there
will be twenty freeman to one slave.
The antl-sIavery feeling is very strong
in Missouri, and the opposition Of the in
s,itution which 30 depresses the enter.
prise and checks the prosperity Of the
State. anticipate the work Of emancipa.
