sci in golden music the jewcled thoughts Of Tan
nob;n and Alexander Wilson, weaver also, now
known as the poet 0rnithologist. 1t is doubtful
whether Tannahll, shy and retiring in his habits,
ever made the acquaintance OF Wilson, although
he addressed poem to the latter when he em'-
grated to America.
Tannahill gave to the world those. pearls OF his

The beautiful environs of Paisley were to Tan
nahill q continual source of inspiration. Inc love-

and meadows meandered between grassy hilis' auu
separated luxuriant woodlands. There, TOO, were
scenes of storied interest Elderslle' inc 1ir.n-
place of Sir William Wallace, is in the nelghoor-
hood; there, also, stood the famous tree where
the hero once concealed himself, while in the dis
lance. Dunbarton castle rears its frowning walls
between its rocky peaks where the same hero was
imnrisoned. and where is still exhibited the sword
he welded.
siWhen he rode Ger the wreck of each well-fought
field,
" With the yellow-haired chiefs of his native land;
For his lance was not shivered on hemeLt or shiea'
And this sword that was ftfor archangel 10 Wleiu'
Was light in his terrible hand"
But the braes of Glenifir were the favorite re.
sort of the weaver-poet They formed scene OF
sweet and quiet beauty. The gray ruins OF stan

the shepherd and his flock and the herdboy drives

are grouped within the hollow, while over the

the sunset streamed over the landscape oft would
the poet wander, seeking the light giancing on
the braes, and listening to the mellow music OF

breast. -.s-.. IN
= Thus, until his thirty-sixth year, Tannahili
passed his simple and uneyentful life, "warohng
his wood-notes, Wild" which so bewltched the
public ear, that he used to hear them sung IN the
fields as he walked, and in dwellings while ira
versing the streets of Paisley, to and from MS
daily tasks. u
At-the above period of his life there fell over
him gloomy shadow. The delicate machinery
of his intellect, too finely organized for TINS jar
ring world, became disordered, and the friendly
waters in which he at last found refuge, conferred
on him two immortalities, one on earth, and the
other in Heaven, Tha harp of Scotland has pour

DIED, in this county, on the Goth ult. with Ty,
phoid Pneumonia, produced by al attack of Mea-
sells, WM. ROSS, jr, youngest son of VIM. Ross,
Esq, in the 29th year of his age, leaving an aged
father and two brothers to mourn his loss.
The deceased was kind and aimabe young
man. His affectionate disposition won the res
pect and esteem of all who knew him. His depar-
ture has left vacancy in the family and social
circle which never can be filled. He was the pride
of his fathers heart and the idol of his brothers.
But 10 he is gone. God hath sent the messenger
death to bear his soul to the haven of eternal re-
pose. .....
1t was my privilege to be with him in his dying
momcnts-and the last hours of his existence
gave abundant evidence that he was sustained by
his Saviour, often saying in Christ put my trust.
Fair bloom the flowers DER his grave,
Light rest the turf upon his breast;
And softly let the willows wave
Where he is taking his last rest.

Messrs. Editors:-I have just returned from

observation or two through the columns OF your

one thing that may interest the citizens Of York

As drove up the Morganton road, l observed all
the crossroads leading toward Charlotte, we'll
beaten; while my own vehicle was jolting over
unbroken clods. Upon inquiry, 1 learned that
the strong current of trade from Cleveland and
Rutherford counties, was setting in towards Char
lotte. Following up the matter still further
ascertained that Charlotte was draining all those
excellent wheat growing valleys along Buffalo,
Beayerdam, Indian and Long Greeks, trade
which legitimately belongs to Yorkville. Now,
gentlemen, passing over what heard athrmed'
that the York merchants will not bid up; also
omittine to notice that dernier argument OF the

there is something worthy of our attention in the
fact that there is plank road from Lincolnton to
Charlotte; and above Yorkville, towards the
Mountain, there is road usually impossible IN

road from Charlotte to Lincolnton is contributing
to swell the astonishing and overgrown trade Of
Charlotte. once saw q subscrintion in the hands
