The following was found on one of the plat forms in Independence Square, on Saturday night, after the funeral of SAM had been adjour- ed, by the rain, and is supposed to have been written by Warrior poet of the West. Many drums were heard and the ffe's shril note,
 As lis course to the " culvert" we hurried; Many throats were ' wet" and many q coat,
 On the night that the rascal was buried. We buried him darkly at dead of night.
 hilc the rain in deluge pouring, Meath no struggling moonbeams misty light,
 But the thunder incessant roaring. No useless coffin enclosed his breast;
 We ''lal him away" as found him; And he lay like | oafcr taking his rest,
 With his tattcred rags around him. No hymn was sung, nor no prayer sad
 And we dropped not tear of sorrow; For now that our idol was hopeessly dead,
 We had other thoughts for the morrow. 'Tis true we all strove to keep him alive
 With "black drops" and pills, each sad mourner; But too much physic has settled his hash,
 And like his friend Poole, he's a ''goner" Darkly and grimly we laid him down.
 In the den of his shame, damp and hoary; We carved not line we raised not stone,
 But we left him alone the old tory And now that our dirty work was done
 And with 'lanterns' we were retiring, We heard the booming and distant gun
 The victorious ''Locos' were firing. Lightly they'll laugh OCT poor Sam,' who is gone
 And for his dark crimes will berate him; But little he'll reck and doubtless sleep on
 Where the hands of the traitors have laid him!

VERDICT AGAINST MR. BooTH.-The suit of Mir. Garland, of St. Louis vs. s. NJ. Booth, of Milwaukie, for the value of the alleged fugi- tive slave Glover, who escaped from the United States marshal, in the spring of 1854, occupied the United States district court at Madison, Judge Miller presiding, during three days last week. The case was given to the jury Satur- day evening, and without leaving their seats they found a verdict for the plaintiff of $1,OO0 and costs
 The circumstances of the case are pretty we'll known. Garland arrested his slave Glover, at Milwaukie, and brought him before the United States Commissioner for Identification and for nal delivery. Booth the editor of a paper, and an abolitionist of the first water, aided the ne- gro to escape and pass by the underground rail- road to Canada. For this suit for damages was brought against him by Garland The case was tried sometime ago, but the jury, we believe, did not agree. Now the case is ended, and Booth is ordered to plank up $l, 900 as the price of his indulgence in philanthropy.
 That is paying pretty dear for the whistle, and if every abolitionist who steals negro could be mulcted in similar manner, the business would soon be at discount. A fine of a thou sand dollars for each offence makes it an expen- sye luxurv.-H. Louis Ne,os.

ARRIVAL OF THE KINNEY EXPEDITION AT

ARRIVAL OF THE KINNEY EXPEDITION AT
 SAN JUAN.-The Panama Star, of the 2Gth of July, says:
 Letters received in inAspinwall, and published in the Courier, of the 2lst, announce that Col Kinney arrived at Greytown, on the 18th, with thirty-iv men in the bark Huntress, which sailed from Philadelphia The Transit Con- pany refused to give him any kind of encou- ragement or permission to travel on their stea- merS. He was, however, received by the inha- bitants of Greytown with great enthusiasm Col. Kinney asserts in the most ositive man. ner that he has no flibustering design, and that his object is only to take possession of the land on which he holds claim. Many of the ex- petition preceded him, and others are daily expected.
 The last steamer from New York to San Ju- an brought out number of French, Germans and lrshmen, said to be soldiers, who were in charge of United States officers, and intended for the service of the Nicaraguan govern- ment; they were immediately sent up to Virg- mia Bay.
 H. B. Ms vessel of war Buzzard was at San Juan, and intended to have sailed the day Col. Kinney arrived, but still remained in port watch ing his proceedings.

Potatoes.

Noticing some views concerning the culture of potatoes, and the kind of seed which is now varlOusly used and recommended, 1 will add If any benefit, my item of knowledge and in- formation for the benefit of your numerous readers hereafter, concerning the kind of seed which I would recommend to be used, and in what manner, time, etc. Take any kind of l good potatoes, using the larger ones for seed, cutting them in such manner as to have two eyes, and not more than three in each piece, after the potato is divided into its several parts After having your ground properly prepared, plant in rows, having the pieces about ten in- ches asunder, or if in hills use three pieces to the hill. Never plant your potatoes until they begin to sprout, otherwise if planted early and not aprouted, they will oftentimes lay long time in the ground before they come up.- | Now as 1 have recommended large seed to be used, will assign my reasons, which you will | find verified upon trial. As large potatoes have larger eyes than small ones, consequent ly they will shoot a larger stalk Now the nourshing filaments or branches anastomosing from the large stalk upon which (end) the new potato is formed, being larger, Chan if originat- ing from small potato with a small eve,) con- Sequently the nourishment conveyed and receiv- ed from the earth to perfect the growth of that potato would be greater in quantity than that conveyed from smaller anastomosing branches from smaller seed. Therefore you will per ceive, from my reasoning that the growth and size of the potato are perfected proportional to the amount of nourShment received from the earth and the kind of seed used. Small pota- toes should also be cut when planted, yet they do not yield as good quality of potatoes as better seed do of similar kind. Although de- pendent upon the season, if you SOW good seed upon good ground, you may expect to reap a good crop; but if you SOW bad or inferior seed upon good or poor land, how can you expect good crop?

Senator Rusk on Know Nottingham.


 The old standard bearers of the democratic party, scorning the repose to which they are iairly entitled by long, arduous, and successful service are now found battling with all their en- ergy and eloquence against the new and secret foe of the democracy. We extract tho follow ing from the able and characteristic lctterof Gen. Rusk, which we find in late number of the Henderson (Texas) Democrat:
 Nacog1oches, June 90, 1855. My DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 2Oth instant has been received. At the time it reached here 1 was away from home or it would have been answered earlier.
 | The attempts which you mention as having l been made to produce the impression that l fa- vored the know nothing movement are entire ly erroneous and without foundation. 1 have regarded their efforts, from the beginning, as in tended to secure office and political power with out any other means to be used than so far as they were likely to secure the object The ostensible hostility to Catholics and for eigners, as we'll as the loud professions in favor of the Union, doubtless proceeds upon the same principle that actuated Gen. Scott when he was so charmed with the "rich Irish brogue, and the musical "German accent" This is sufficiently proven by the forty odd votes to ad- init the Catholics into the know nothing con | ! That few patriotic democrats have joined them have no doubt, but large majority was disappointed asprants for office, whigs and abo- | litonists.
 Their secrecy is highly objectionable No party can be safely trusted with power which does not openly and distinctly avow its princ- pies. The oaths which it is understood they take are illegal, tyrannica and at open war with the fundamental principles of our government. | They are direct encroachment upon our per sonal liberty and individual responsibility, which is the very groundwork of our free institutions. It is the highest privilege as well as the sacred duty of every American citizen to vote for measures and men under the guidance of his own best judgment. How can he surrender that rig Int to a midnight council. and bind him. self by oath to carry out what tmay dictate and | fulfil his obligations to himself his country, and his God freeman? The thing is absurd He must, in the very nature of things, frequent ly go against either his judgment or his oath, and that too, in cases where the most vital interests regard the know nothing party as already bro- ken down. They have been signally over- thrown in Virginia, where they boastcd of great strength. Many of the leading patriotic whigs, especially in the southern States have not only refused to join but have made war upon them. The democrats are everywhere rapidly leaving them. At the north as all elections show, they are abolitonistS At the south they profess to be pro-slavery men. How can such a party succeed? The whigs are disorganized, if not disbanded; no one can mistake the rock on which they split.

NEGRO PHILANTHROPY IN PHILADELPHIA- MT. Wheeler, of North Carolina, Minister to Nicaragua, in passing through Philadelphia was very abruptly despoilcd of three slaves con- sisting of a woman and two children, from a descent of the " free colored people" of that place. instgated by their white brethren of the "higher law" This woman and her children, thus borne off from the protection of her mas ter to the blessings of freedom, will in all pro- liability next appear in the character of a va grant, with her children dying of starvation in some filthy cellar. This is very often the end of abolition philanthropy. The great object is to despoil the slaveholder not to benefit the slave. Among our northern negro worshippers fugitive slave is often lion, who, as a regu- lar free negro, would be nuisance. Such is abolition philanthropy.-Ne0 York HeraH.

A Parting Hymn.
BY EPES SARGENT.

The following pretty verses were written fol md sung at the recent annual exhibition of the graduates of Phillips Academy, Mass. They were sung at its close by the separating stu dents:
 We meet to part-yet ere we part
 Let thoughts of kindly power Shed rose hues on the willing heart And consecrate the hour! This morning prime will quickly pass, So now, before it fade, Let friendships summons to the class Be with one mind obeyed. If aught remains to be forgiven;
 O! let it be forgot; And may no friendly tie be riven
 That's linked to this dear spot. As clouds the monday sun shall break, We scatter different ways; Yet let each pilgrim bosom take
 From Memory's sun its rays. And as, when Summer days are spent About the western sky, The errant clouds may form a tent
 Of glory to the eye So may we meet when this lfe's sun Shall near its setting be; And, from common goal, we'll won, All Heaven reflected see
