OF heroism sings.
Twas when, from DER the water
A tvrant stern and cold
Sent myrmdons to slaughter
His subjects true and bold.
When Boston. famous city,
At Freedoms thrilling calls,
Shut the British what pity
Like rats within her walls
And from her heights George Wash.
ington
Called to his native State ;
And bade her send each gallant son
Willing TO share his fate.
Oh then, whore springs that fountain,
Gathered The yeoman brave
From valley and from mountain,
Their cherished land to save,
A Drawer and truer set
The world hath not beheId,
For lruer hearts have never yet
'Gainst Tyrany rebeleG.
No gilJed coats by them were borne
Into that dreadful quarrel,
But the hunting shirt and powder horn
And the rifles deadly barrel.
And the hunting knife, with blade and
heft
Well fitted to the hand,
With these, their peaceful homes they
left
TO hgh, for their native land.
Where futile fields now bloom and
smile,
That sacred spot around,
The forest then, for many mile,
In gloomy grandeur lrowned.
And Oft the wolf with famished howl,
Startled the slumbering ear,
The Indians whoop and the whooplng
ThriIl'd many a wife with fear
For who shall now, in the forest wide
Protect the feeble wife
And who shall save her tender child.
From the Indians scalping knife !!
Oh tranquil rest, for One above
Is watching over thee.
The God o: mercy and of love
The Sod Of Liberty
And whilst the husbands stalwart arm
Strikes 70. his native land,
His wife and child shall have no harm
At the rel Indians hand.
The sun was sinking in the west,
Days dreadful strife was ended.
When Washington, with troubled
The nearest heights assembled.
And looking long with anxious eyes
Far towards his native State,
"Will they not come," the chieflain
cries,
"Or will they come too late ?"
Behold ! OF dust mighty cloud
Far TO The South appears,
And shout 10 shout responding loud,
The chieGtain's spirit cheers.
They come they come, true hearts and
brave -
Quoth the gallant Washington,
"See in the breeze their banners wave,
Brave Morgan leads them on "
And from the heights he hasten'd then
Amid exullng cries,
To greet those worn and weary men,
Tears gushing from his eyes
And how those heroes fought and bleC
While the red war did rage.
Till every tyrant turned and fled,
Is told in HlsloTy's page.
But sacred be the memory
Of that immortal Band
Who left their all, al Freedom call
To fight for their native land.
And cherished be old Shepherdstown
That first obeyed the call
From ProPitIous Heaven down
May blessings on it fall

A MOUNTAIN OF CoPPER.--A CORES.
pendent of the Richmond Enquirer wri-
ting from Floyd county, Va, says:
"Mr. Robert l.. Toncrey, of Floyd,
has recently opened copper mine on his
plantation, which in my opinion contains
the richest mineral in the world--it is a
mountain Of copper. We passed through
tie mines in the morning, and though we
felt somewhat fearful in thus passing IN
der the mountain we were astonlshed al
the sight of such an immense quantity Of
rich ores all around US. There are sew
eral tunnels penetrating the mountain
which pass through various veins OF diff
feren, kinds of ores. There is vein OF
red oxide about seventy FIVE per cent.
There are veins of the black and brown
ores, about one hundred feet in width.
The black ores yielded sixty and the
brown from thirty to thirty FIVE per cent.
He has recently struck on avein of yell
low sulpha,e which yields from twenty
five 10 thirty per cent. This vein is about
25 fee, wide, going down nearly PerPen,
dlcularly. To all appearances Ii is mex
hauslible.
