FELICIANA DEMOCRAT.

"rHE LASDLADY's DAUGHTER, from the Ger
man of INLAND, is one of those strange and
startling conccts which no other language at
tempts:
There came three students over the Rhine
Dame Wcrter's house they entered in;
dame Wcrtcr, hast thou good beer and wincI
And where's that lovely daughter OF thiney'
"My beer and my wine are fresh and clear
My daughter is lying cold Oh her bier"
They stepped within the chamber of rest,
Where sllrincd lay the maiden, in black robes
dressed.
The first he drew from her face the vail
"Ah! vert then alive, thou maiden so pale, y
He said, as he gazcd with saddcned brow,
"Ilow dearly would love thee now!'
The second, he covered the face anew,
And, weeping, he turned aside from the view;
"Ah me that thou lest on the cold bier,
The one have loved for so many year"
The third once more upliftcd the vail,
lie kissed the lips 50 deadly pale;
"Thce loved erer, sill love thee,
And thee will | love through eternity
And that kiSs--that kiss--with Promcthcan
fame
Thrilled with new life the quivering frame;
And the maid uprosc and stood by his side,
That students own loved and loving bride!

or less thar tribute by our people TO the
labor Of other nations.
In the arts Philadelphia no doubt stands
at the head OF all the cities in the Union, and
in some branch, of mechanics she is unri-
vailed. In fact, the town is one vast work
shop, and in this consists the wealth and
prosperity of this great city. Perhaps, in no
part of the world, has the great discovery oil
Daguerre, been brought to such perfection.
If any one will visit the gallery of w. A.
Root, in Chestnut street, he must come to
the same conclusion. His Photographs, or
portraits on paper, are very much admired
and exhibit a degree of perfection little
dreamed of some years since. Somo-of these
pictures, finished by an artist, in pastelle ol
water colors, are really beautiful, eqaa TO the
finest miniature painting, and in truthtuness
superior.
In my last letter there were several errors

CATASTROPIIE All SEA,

Captain Wood, Of the packet ship Ger
mania, arrived at this port yesterday, from
Hsvre, has furnished us the following account
of hi. voyage, together with some brief par
ticulars Of the sinking OF the John Rutledge,
by running into an iceberg, and the rescue of
one only Of the ships company:
On the 2Sth ut., observed a ships boat
ahead hove to aud despatched a boat in
guest of it, On approaching the strange
boat 1t was found TO contain, alive, Thomas
w. Nye, of New Bedford, the only survivor
Of thirteen persons, the remainder having
persisted Of starvation and cold They had
been in tho boat nine days. Neye's hands
and feet were very much frozen. The boat
also contained the bodies of Mrs Atkinson
and three others, names unknown, all be-
longing to tine ship John Rutledge, Captain
Kelly, of New York.
The John Rutledge left Liverpool for this
port on the 10th of January; fell in with ice
on the 18th of February, in latitude 45 "a
n, longitude 46 sc W.; got into field ice the
next day, but succeeded in working clear OF
1t She subsequently, however ran into an
iceberg, stove hole in her bow, and was a.
bandoned at six o'clock the same evening
Five boats, filed with the passengers and
crew. left the ship. 1t was the intention OF
Mr.. Atkinson, the mate, to have left the YES
sci ir the boat which was picked up, but she
broke adrift, and he and several others weL,
down with the wreck.
1t is conjectured that the other boats
which were weh manned and furnished witt
compasses, would pull for the Gulf Stream
as the weather was severely cold. They may
therefore, be picked up by passing vessels
The compass Of the rescued boat was acci
IDENTIFY broken; and it being cloudy, her crev
could not shape their course.
After picking up the boat the Germans
stood to the northwest until dark, and thol
lay to during the night in hopes Of discover
ing some OF the missing boats but as moth
ing could be seen Of them, she bore away t
the southward, keeping strict lookout a
the time. During the forenoon Il very thic
snow storm prevailed, but the weather cleare
towards noCn. A barque came out Of tn
ice at the same time as the Germania. Sh
stood to the westward, and perhaps fell
with the boats Of the j ohm Rutledge.

Sfletita,t Me(us,
LATE FROM TEXAS.

The Galveston News, Of the 18th, pub
fishes the following communication from Mr.
Il. A. Dwyer, of Corpus Christi, by which it
appears the Mexican citizens Of Laredo have
taken measures to avenge the Indian depre-
dations near that place, and along the Rio
Grande:
The Lipan Indians have been continuing
their incursions from the Mexican side OF the
Rio Grande, until the excitement and spirit
of revenge amongst our citizens, who have
their farms and settlements along the river,
can be no longer restrained. Almost every
other day men are killed or wounded near
Laredo by the Iipans, who cross over to
commit those atrocities, and return to their
encamp pments on the Mexican side Of the
frontier Nor have their outrages been con-
fined to this side Of the river alone. They
have, while professedly at peace with Mexico,
and under Mexican protection, stolen great
number of horses from their so-called friends
living in New Laredo, on the west bank OF
the Rio Grande and, more than suspicion
rests on them Of several murders over those
ut first attributed to Camanches Indians
They have had the audacity to ride into New
Laredo horses stolen from men living there.
In one instance they had tho horses of the
Alcalde or Mayor Of the town. Don Juan
Ramos, in their possession, and when claimed
refused, on some pretence, to give them up,
and left the town before they could be forced
to do so. The desire OF General Vidaurri to
ascertain the truth of these charges against
the Lipans is we'll known and, his disposi-
ton to punish them has been recently evi-
denced by his official organ at Monterey
Mexico, FL ReStauratoy, in which, on the 9th
Of last month, he states that summary punish.
ment will be metcd to the Lipan tribe on as.
certaining the truth Of the charges charged

SErTMxd MINSEsor orA-The St. Anthony
Express says: We appreheud but few per-
SOUS abroad realize the astonishing rapdity
with which public lands iu the Territory are
being taken up by actual settlers. While in
Washington recently, We were informed by
Mr.. Rice that the records in tho Land Office
Department showed that the amount Of
lands pre-empted in Minnesota Territory last
year. exceeded that of all the other States
and territories together. Think of that
not more than iE any other territory or state,
but more than in all of them together. This
is an exhibit of which, as Minnesotians, We
may justly be proud, as it shows that str"n-
gers are beginning to appreciate the advan-
Iages here offered. We Wepresume the records
would show another fact not less satisfactory,
namely, that as small an amount of land has
been entered in Minnesota by spectators, as
in any state or territory. The reason of this
Is, tina: but little land can be found for such
purpose, actual settler keeping ahead OF the
surveys.

DREADFUL AFFAIR IN CAMDEN.

a terrible event occurred, yesterday morn.
ing. in Camden, resulting from the act OF
trespassers upon private property. A short
time previous to 10 O'clock in the morning,
three men, believed to be Frenchmen, were
seen along the river firing at some kinds of
game. MIR. William j. Hatch went towards
the men alluded to, it is said, and after ON
interview, took gun from one of the party,
and demanded the two other guns belonging
to the Frenchmen. This demand, it appears
was not acceded to. The trespnssers started
towards Cooper's Greek, followed by Mr.. III.
When about half way across the creek, a
scuffie it is said, ensued between the deceased
and one of the men, who had gun in his
hand, which terminated in the death of Mr..
Hatch, who was shot through the head, and
his body left lying where he fell, upon the ice
upon Coopers Creek. The shot killed him
instantly blowing his brains completely out.
The perpetrators of the act Immediately He'd
and two of them made their escape. The
third man, Adolph Delso. was arrested neal
Cooper's Point, while lying in the street
pretending TO be asleep. Mr.. Hatch was A

and Cooper streets, and has left a wife and
/ four children. He was a member of tht

rested one of tbs parties who, it is alleged
participated in the affair, at the kensingtoI

a ticket for New York. After the commits
sion of the fatal act, he had shayen his nous
