Poetry bv warren r. Davis.

FEW weeks ago we.apublished parody, upon
"Roy's Wiieof Aldivalloch," from the pen of Genera
GEORGE p. MORRIS. At the time, we stated thai
there was one somewhere, by WARREN r. Dawes, o
South Carolina, of deeper and more poetic cast. In
the last number of the "Anderson Ga:efte and Aduo'
cafe" we find an accurate rendering Of the lancnled
DAVIS original manuscript. 1t was furnished the edi
tor by nephew of Mr.. DAVIS In transferring the
piece to our columns We hold that we are printing
a literary gem for which our poecal readers will
thank Us.
1t may not be amiss to add in explanation oil the
character Of the piece, that it was written during Mr.
DAVIS Congressional membership and SOON after he
had formed the acquaintance Of the lady who is made
the subject OF his song, the accomplished and beautu
wife Of JOHNSTON, then 1--WE think) member from
louisiana She was said in truth to have had in her
veins touch of the blood of the Incas, an Indian
tribe of South America if our memory be not at fault
Without further preface We append the parody:
JOHNsToN'S WIFE, OF LOUISIANA.
Johnslon's wifs of Louisiana;
Juhnslon's wife of louisiana
The fairest flower that ever bloomed
In Southern Sun or gay Savannah
The Inca'S blood flows in her veins,
The Inca's soul her bright eyes !ighten,
Child of the Sun, like him she rcgns,
To cheer our hope, our sorrOws brighten.
Johnstun's wi t of louisiana
,J.hnslons wife Of Louisana
Tile fairest flower that ever bloomed,
In Southern Sun gay Savannah
Juhnston's wife of Louisiana
Johnston wife Of Louisiana
She hath way 10 win all hearts
And bUw them to the ghrine Ot Anna
Her mind is radiant with tue love
Cf Ancient and Of Modern Story;
And native wit in richer store
Eedecks her with its rainbow glory.
Julnstons wife of Louisiana
Juhnslons wife Of LUuisiana
She hath way 10 win all hearts,
And how them 10 the shrine ui Anna.
Johnslons wife-of Louisiana
Johnstuns wife of Louisiana;
The Eapless Bard who sings her praise,
Nuw Turships al the shrine If Anna.
Twas such vision bright but brief
In early youth hs'true heart rendec,
Then left it, like fallen leaf,
On le's most rugged ,hcrn suspended
Jnhnslons wife Of Louisiana
Johnston swife of Louisiana;
The hapess Bard WIN sings her praise,
Sized bitter tears for such an Anna.

A London correspondent mentions the fact
that the Russian Government has totally pro-
hibitcd the expectation of wheat and every 9th
er article of consumption from Poland. This.
he says, will be severely felt in the provinces OF
Galliria and Austrian Silesil, which are almost
entirely dependent on Poland for their supplies
of corn.

when ii was no. deemed improper to accept the
services of Foreigners in our cause:
"What pity that Governor Gardner, while
his hand WAS in, did not recommend that the
most glorious portion of our history be banls'l-
cd from the common schools! So that the ris-
,ing eneralion might never know how much our
forefahers were under foreign Influence" SO
that they might never know that Washington
inlrusted The defence Of his own native Virginia
TO Prussian, that he committrd;the important
task of disrpning the American armies; or
that it was an Englishman that conquered ut
Fort Muultrie; or lhut it was the noble efforts
of another Engli>hman, who had staked his all
in the good cause, which saved the revolution
ary army from muliny and disbandment; or
that it was IN Iri>htGan who so gal!anty per-
iShed at Quebec: or that II was 4 Pole who pro-
tected Washington at Brandywine from perso-
nal peril; or that it was Scotchman who per-
formed such caring exploits on the sea, ana
gave character 10 our little navy; or that nearly
every nation in Europe was honorably represen-
ted in our gallant armies during every war III
which We have been engaged; or that there
were foreigners who shared with our sires the
peril of signing the declaration of Independence.

RUSSIA letter purporting to proceed from
ST. Petersburg, dated the 10th, says that for
some lime past numerous relays are posted at
intervals of four leagues from Odessa to Sebas-
topol, for the purpose of conveying, as soon as
the SNOW is frozen over, reiniurcements, to the
amount of 10000 men. for the Russian army.
1t is expected that the Russians will have, by
;he 18th of February, ill army OF 100000 men
in the Crimca.
AT Petersburg complaints are heard against
Prince Menschikoff, who, strange TO say, is ac-
cuseI BY the imperial circle and even by the
people, of excessive prudence. The people arc
beginning TO get clamorous against the Prince,
and discon,ed even with the Car, who, they
think, has already made far too many conces-
sions, and 10 more they will not listen. Oslen-
Sackcn is again spoken of as likely 10 obtain
the command in the event of Menschikoff's 5
removal. with General Liprandi for his second.
IL case of q change, it is not certain whether
ihe prince will be summoned to ST. Petersburg,
or be left in the Crmea to defend the city du-
ring the assault while Osien-Sarken commands
The army in the field. The letters repeat the
assurance that the feeling of the population of
ST. Petersburg is decidedly for war.
