Rosa Restrevore.

The pride of IDLEwILD sing
The long lost Rosa Restrevore;
What present shall weeping bring,
To sleeping Rosa Restrevore?
There was time when sorrows chain,
Neer entered in my humble strain,
But then there was to cheer each line,
The living Rosa Restrevore.
Alas! no more she brings me flowers,
All dripping wet with April showers;
Plucked in the fairest sunny bowers,
To cheer my dull and saddened hours
The sleeping Rosa Restrevore.
How sweet the hours in youth we roved
The fowery hills and valleys DER;
AS children played-as angels loved
l and my Rosa Restrevore.
When but child-a tender vine
called the little Rosa mine
The smiling Rosa Restrevore.
Though young in years our love was true,
And spotless as the morning dew;
Whate'er she loved, loved it too,
And all for Rosa Restrevore.
To please her was my sole delight;
Of this l thought, and nothing more;
My thoughts by day, and dreams by night,
Were all of Rosa Restrevore.
Call it a whim, like childish fears
That pass away in after years,
When all the powers are better manned
Fre felt the spell in ripper age,
But never has my love ran Ger,
As when loved my Restrevore,
When youth and love went hand in hand.
loved, she loved; but 0, she died
The young girl Rosa Restrevore-
And left me on life's angry tide,
A weeping wandercr evermore.
The freezing blasts swept through the bower
And chilled and killed my cherished flower
The blushing Rosa Restrevore.
The dove, too innocent for strife;
The bud, just bursting into life;
The little heart with love so rife,
So pure, so chaste, was swept away.
And o, my soul, how many years
Press on the grave of Restrevore-
How long within the vale of tears
I've strolled without my Restrevore.
Could Iapproach the sainted land,
Orpheus l. with harp in hand,
Would wander to the fowery plain
I'd call the long lost Restrevore
Back from the distant, distant shore
The chaste, angelic Restrevore
Should cheer my lonely hours again.

BOTTLE HILL, Jan. 2, 1855.


Mr.. OLIvER-Dear Sir:-The last annual
message of President Pierce is before the
people. The Administrations having been
defeated in all its outposts, with complete
ness which has no parallel on record, was
evidently disheartened in its sole remaining
sortie. Greytown betrays an uneasy con-
science; further, no attack is threatened, no
defence is made. A meek spirit of forgive
and forget pervades the address it has not
the promise of future good. AS far as the
interests of California are concerned, and its
important relations to the whole Pacific,
the message might have been word for word
as it is were California blot upon the
worlds map. President Pierce is opposed
to granting lands to "eleven States and one
Territory" for railways; and of course the
Pacific Road, even through Government
territory, shares none of his favor. 1t is
really refreshing to look on the President s
cOmplacency in stating that he has no doubt
of the soundness of his principle asserted
with regard to the limitation of the power
of Congress-" The President makes no ar
gument; he however makes suggestions. p"
1t is to these l would call your attention.
Comment might show by what process the
conclusions arrived at were attained, the
inference to me being quite different from
that in the message.
He asserts "The government is bound to
take the same wise and comprehensive view"
as "a prudent proprietor" that sit is not
enough that the true value of lands in a
particular locality may be enhanced; that,
in fact, a larger amount of money will prob
ably be received, in given time, for alter
nate sections, than could have been realized
for all the sections, without the impulse and
influence of the proposed improvements
Il prudent proprietor looks beyond limited
sections Of has domain, beyond present results
to the ultimate e'nect a0hich particular line
Of policy IS likely to produce upon all his
possessions and interests" The last sentence
is the statement of a principle, correct as
far as it goes-we do not find fault with it
as it is-and the first, obscure as it is, must
admit that 4a prudent proprietor" is GER
tainly a gamer when an improvement is
made whose ultimate effect produces no det-
riment to his remaining possessions and in
terest; and especially if by that improve
ment-without expense to the proprietor,
as in the case before us-"a larger amount
of money is received for alternate sections
than could have been realized for all the
sections, without the impulse and influence
Of the proposed improvement" Govern

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM THE SANDWICH
IsLANDs.-The following most important
intelligence from the Sandwich Islands is
from a perfectly reliable source, and may be
depended upon, By recent private letter
from Honolulu, we learn that a messenger
will leave that city very soon for Washing
ton, with treaty of annexation, which has
been drawn up in proper form, but not yet
signed, as Judge Lee, who was directed by
our Government to witness the signatures to
the instrument in question, has been obliged
to absent himself from Honolulu on account
of i'll health, and consequently has not been
able as yet to attend to the duty delegated
to him.
The treaty is to be signed by all the
Chiefs, and they are each to receive a pen
sion which ceases with the death of the re-
cipient, with the exception of the pension
to be paid to the King, which is to be trans
ferred to Alexander, in case he shall survive
his majesty. 1t is understood that the
whole amount to be paid in pensions will
be somewhere from three to four hundred
thousand dollars per annum. The property
belonging to the present government Of the
Islands is to be purchased outright by our
government for fixed sum. The above
items of intelligence may be relied upon as
correct, as they come from the highest au-
thority. Boston Journal.

SALMON FALLS, Jan, 4th, 1855.
1t is proposed to form a society in Cali
fornia with the above name. In this State
it is believed there exists at the present time,
large proportion of inhabitants who are
qualified to become members. During the
next year, the people will be called upon to
elect a Governor and all the other State of
icers. 1t is supposed that all the present
incumbents haze something, and therefore
none of them will be candidates. In San
Francisco, we estimate ten thousand per-
sons, all legal voters, who have nothing
That number of votes will secure us the
city and county Of San Francisco. Ell Do
RADIO county being entirely out of debt, with
population of forty thousand, is supposed
to contain twenty-five thousand miners
Twenty thousand Of these are known to be
strapped. The last vote was about eleven
thousand; consequently that county is Sc
cure. These two counties being the most
Important in the State, we shall leave the
others to take care OF themselves. Our So
ciety will be organized within about three
months. The officers will consist of "a Pres
ident, Vice President and Secretary. No
Treasurer will be required. The actions of
the society will be open, and no secret soci-
cites will be allowed. Persons having the
good of the State at heart, are invited to
call public meetings, in their various towns
and organize under the above head. A
travelling agent will pass through the State
to ascertain the progress of the society.-
AS soon as the various precincts are organ
lied, a general meeting will be called in
some large town or city: when the nomina-
tions of candidates will be made, and no
doubt is entertained that the first talent in
California will be brought forward, and in
September next victory will crown our ef-
forts. HAVE NOTHING.
