WASHINGTON GOSSIP

PUBLIC LANDs.-The Committee on Public
Lands are still undetermined as to the final
form of the Pacific Railroad bill. At Mr..
Rusk's instance, the King and Walker Corpo-
ration, with other companies were included as
grantees for the Southern route; bnt the pre-
iudice raised against the former has tended to
damage the prospect of the whole enterprise,
and, therefore, it may be reconsdered. This
and other causes have produced some reaction
on the minds of the real friends of the project,
so that hesitation is entertained almost against
any effort this session, from the conflicting in
terests involved.
The LANE GRANT SYsrEM-The system of
granting public lands to aid in the construc-
tion of railroads has been run into the ground, q,
and will hardly be further extended except in
favor of the Pacific Railroad. True, certain
parties are moving heaven and earth almost to
secure grant OF land to aid the Territory of
Minnesota in constructing roads therein and
there is some plausiblity in the pleas urged
in its favor. But the chances are that the mea-
sure will fail, as it certainly ought to fail in
the shape in which it is now urged. The COM
mi!tee on Public Lands in the House has sew
eral times agreed upon bill, and subsequent
ly changed its form. They are now prepared
with a bill which will be reported TO the House
whenever the committee is called, and an eff
fort viii be made to put it at cnce upon it's
passage.
Ma. RUCHANAN's PRoGRAMME.-The self
constituted leaders of the South are by no
means satisfied with Mr. Buchanan's pro-
g,- - =
ted. Of the men named, not one is regarded
strictly identified with the dominant senti-
ment. Cobb, of Georgia, it is true. is accept
ed Of Stephens and his interest, but not as a
representative man. They had antecedents
together few years ago, and it might not be
Convenient to separate now. But Floyd, Ben
jdnn, Rusk and that class do not answer the
high-seasoned exactions Of the fire-eating gem
try. They have said as much to Mr.. Buchanan
by word of mouth and by letter, aud they mean
to repeat the protests when lie appears IN
Washington a month hence. Nor are some of
the selections from the Free States more pala-
table. For example: the preference of Cliff
ford over Toucey is especially condemned, not
only because the latter is admitted to be the
superior of the former, but because he has
made 'ssacrfices for the SOuth.' They forget
he has an eye upon foreign mission, and will
probably have his foot in i; before many moons
roll oveI his head. II this principle of rewar
ding doughiaces be adopted as a rule of pa
tronage, Mr.. Buchanan will discover that his
pension roll will soon assume a sectional shape.
In about fourteen States there are victims e.
nongh for a catalogue as long as the moral law.

Origin OF rHz ssMALAKorF. The antigua
rie, of Sebastopol have made curious diScov-
cry. Everybody has heard Of the halakoh
hill, in the Crimea, upon which was built the
tower, now become so famous Such an I'M
mortality scarcely seemed destined this name'
which was that of certain Lieut.. Maiakoh,
dismissed the Russian Navy on account CT IN
corrigible drunkenness. Faithful to his pas
sion, after his dismissal he set up grog shop
on this spot, which was frequented by sailors
These latter, in fit of sarcastic gaiety, gave
to the hill in question the name of their tap
master, which, by the accident Of memora-
bic siege having taken place near the spot, has
now become immortal.

MARY.
By JOHN HAMILTON

By JOHN HAMILTON.
Mary's sweet and Mary's fair;
Hers is golden. auburn hair;
Neat her person. full of grace;
Mild the aspect of her face.
Soft her words, and kind her heart;
Pure her love, and free rom art;
Fit her prudence to control,
While her sweetness wins the soul.
If me she loved rs she has spurned,
How ardently 'twould be returned;
How quickly could word impart
The pure devotion 20 my heart,
Which, waiting at her feet to lie,
Longs there to live and there TO die
While fondest love coald not excel
My love to her, L d love so we'll
And have I loved twas Mary loved,
As Mary's actions Oft have proved
Oft hayesI seen her dancing eve
Play light and quick when l was by;
As oft I've felt-ail fluttering still
My heart leap out at Mary's will
Her sweetness I've been still to admire,
And feel the glow of Loves own FIRE.

PASSING AWAY.
BY ". uEyRIErrA GOoDFELLow


Read before the CIs1rGslR Teachers Institute
January 81, 1857.
Every thing with which we are surrounded,
Is subject to mutation and decay. The proud
SUBMITS of the sseverlasting hills" as they
are called, gradually crumble and fill the val
leys at their base. The solid granite Of the
mountains waste by the ravages of time. We
getable nature, that annually feasts the eye
with its beauties, yields to the same law. The
-blnshing rose that uniolds its vermiliOn petals
to inhalc the ambrosial dew-drop of morn, is
swept away by the evening blast. The night
blooming Cereus, whose magnificent corolla
challenges rival, and whose delightful fra
GRANGE burdens the passing zephyr, does not
permit the sun to add brilliancy to its beauty,
but in twilight's calm hour unfolds its charms
and adds sweetness TO the moonlight scene,
and ere the orb OF day visits our fair world,
droops TO revive no more. No plant fow-
er possessing excellence or beauty, is saved
from the invasious of time. Change succeeds
change in quick succession. Spring appears
with youthful beauty, but soon gives place to
maturer summer; this soon is lost in autumn,
whilst anon the hoarse winds of winter sweep
sil signs of life from the forest.
But we do not alone witness the change of
seasons, and of the vegetable Kingdom
Where fiourishing empires and populous cities,
in our age of the world, dazzle by their spen-
dor aud magnifcence, the vision OF man, in
the next, nought is presented TO the gaze but
the time-honored vcstiges of what had once
been great Man haStcns to decay. Our IL
braries of Literature the labors of the
dead ;-those whose sublime genius has nm
tombed and translated the records oft the world
with the hand that walked the tender echoes of
the Tyre, are numbered with the past. Where
are the Illusttious patriots OF the Revolution,
whose glorious deeds eutitle them TO chaplet
of immortal fame2 Echo answers, they too
have mouldered into dust. Our friends are
gone--1eaving nought but the feint penciling
OF memory to trace to us their virtues. View
youth baskng in the sunshine of pleasure
surrounded with all that tends TO captivate the
heart, or render life desirable-ioy beams in
the eye health blooms on the cheek; the
sprightly Imagination entwines living wreath
of future enjoTments. But, ah! the scene
changes. Disease makes iuroads upon tho
tender ibres of this complex tenement. Tho
sunken eye and pallid countenance, are sure
prcmonitors Of the invaders approach. The
young, beautiful, and amiable fall by his pow
or. The furrowed cheek and pasied hand
point the aged to the grave. That which tends
to sustain, also contributes to its destruction.
ALI with which we are conversant, bears this
nscriptiou-ssPAsstYG AWAY"

Could Hot Get the Bills.

A few days since, a timid gentleman, in the
vicinity of this town. having some - dollars
in bills of the Western Reserve Bank, which he
had been keeping for a long time. became panic
stricken. and thinking that the end of the inan-
siAl world was at hand. made a rush for the
Bank. On arriving, he presented his bills at
the counter, and received the gold. Not seeing
anything remarkable in the appearance of the
officers, nor any particular symptoms of = bust
up in the Bank. he inquired if the Bank was not
broke. and received the rather curt rcply-Sor
MUCH.
He then offered the gold, and requested the
bills again, but was told by the Cashier that the
Bank was not paying out its own bills. Hesaid
he would rather have the bills, but the Cashier
vss iheronble, and the gentleman marched off
with his inconvenient load, moralizing upon the
truth Of reports in general, and on that respect
ing the Western Reserve Bank. in particular.
