Fair land of my birth.

With their wide-spreading bowers

For they gurge along,
And sing in lound accents,
Great Freedom's glad song.

Where my forefathers trod-
Where they fought--where they bled--
Where they slept meath the sod.

IT'S the flag of the free
IT'S the patriots standard,
And ever will be
I'll love thee !-Pll love the
Where'er roam,
With a true hearts devotion,

And when come to die,
My last wish will be
To rest meath thy soil,
Blest home of the free.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true eAdeavOr, 4
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy Of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland Il Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them a call.

WHAT HAVE NOTICED. i have
noticed that all men speak we'll of a
mans virtues when he is dead, and the
tombstones are marked with epitaphs of
"good and virtuous." Is there any par
ticular cemetery where the bad are buried?
have noticed that the prayer Of every
selfish man is I" forgive us our debts" but
he makes everybody who owes him pay
to the utmost farthing'
have noticed that death is merciless
judge, though not impartial. Every man
owes debt. Death summons the deb
tor to down the dust in the currency Of
mortality.
I have noticed that he who thinks a
man is rogue, is very certain to see one
when he shaves himself.-What big
rascal Diogenes must have been at that
rate.
l have noticed that money is the FOOLS
wisdom, the knave's reputation, the wise
mans jewel, the rich mans trouble, the
poor mans desire, the covetous mans
ambition, and the idol of all.
l have noticed that merit is always
measured IN this world by ltS success.
Ihave noticed that in order to be a
reasonable creature, it is necessary to be
down right mad.
| have noticed that as we are always
wishing instead Of working for fortunes,
we are disappointed and call dame for
tune blind;but it is the very best evidence
that the old lady has the most capable
eyesight, and is no old grany with specta-
cles.
l have noticed that purses will hold
pennies as well as pounds.
l have noticed that tombstones say,
Here he lies" which no doubt is often
true; and if men could see the epitaphs
their friends sometimes. write, they
would believe they had got into the
wrong grave.

OLD STATE BANK.-The Louisville DEM
oerat passes the following eulogy upon the
old State Bank:
An honest bank; one that lived and died
honestly; think of that. By the Report Of
the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund,
the old State Bank is credited with profit
to the State of So, 10000 SO, arising from
the stock taken by the State in the old
bank; the bonds issued for the stock are
provided for; the sum above named is clear
profit. 1t is all safe too; and by law its
proceeds are hereafter to be devoted to the
school fund One can hardly help regretting
that bank 80 remarkable as this is wound
up; for it is honestly closed up, without
cheating the stockholders, or other people t
the noteholders all safe. But, perhaps, it
was best that it should live no longer; as, if
it had lived it might have fallen into the
sinful ways of other moneyed institutions.
Let monument be raised over the tomb
of this Institution. {" Here lies the shade Of
Bank that paid all its dues, made profit
for the State, and went to an honorable
grave; leaving q successor with a very bad
beginning, but with good example to fol-
low"

A RARE LOVER OF FREEDOM.-John Mitch
ell, the great Irish patriot in the salutatory
of his paper, recently removed to Washing
ton City, lays down the following platform
of principles
First.-Repeal of all laws prohibiting the
foreign slave trade or imposing penalties
thereon.
Second.-Repeal of the law abolishing
the slave trade in the District of Columbia
Third.-Absolute resistance to everything
in the nature of a compromise between North
and South.
Fourth.-Peremptory demand for the in
tervention of Congress, President, and Su-
preme Court for slavery in all Territories
the moment STAKEHOLDER brings his slaves
there in other words, Intervention by the
authorities to sustain the law and prevent
robbery. These four items include all. Up
| to certain date we are willing to labor for
their attainment. If Southerners arouse
themselves, they can attain all, or else dis
solve the Union.
That is a singular platform for man who
has bloviated so largely of "freedom and its
blessings"

The MESSAGE AT WAsHINGroN.-A letter


from Washington says:
The Message of the President has made no
impression corresponding with the expecta-
tons of politicians and the public. 1t is
generally regarded as an attempt to revive
the fallen fortunes of Mr.. Buchanan's Ad-
ministration.
The State Rights Democrats are dissatis-
fed with the recommendations regarding
the Pacific Railroad and specific duties, and
others are not grati6ed with the flashy hum
bugs, prominent throughout the document.
There is possibility that the Message may
prevent the reception of Mr.. Preston, at
Madrid, owing to offensive reflections upon
Spain, and thus produce rupture which, it
is believed, was designed. Stephens and his
faction are openly rebellious towards the
President.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.-A correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, writing from Fulton
City, Ills, gives the particulars of horrible
outrage, committed ON the night of the 23d
ult., at that place. 1t appears that the wife
of a man named Forest, a respectable me-
chanic, living in the outskirts of the town,
had gone to prayer meeting at widow
ladys named Thompson, short distance
off. In returning home, she crossed va
cant lot, grown up with bushes. Here she
was seized by man who quickly applied
plaster of mud to her eyes and mouth, when
he and companion outraged the person of
the poor lady. But the worst part of the
story remains to be told The correspond
ent says:
Mrs. Forest was near confinement, which
the outrage fastened and, in the presence
of the ruffians, she gave birth to living
child. 1t cried violently. The poor gagged
and bound mother heard one of the wretch
es say to his fellows, "Let US kill the id
brat" and accordingly one held it while the
other actually severed the head from the
body; This sight was before the appalled,
eyes of the poor victim, whose struggles had
freed the upper portion of her face from the
covering. Sine saw her infant cut IN pieces,
and then she was left alone. She says she
tainted, but recovered her senses, how long
after she knows not, and regaining her feet,
commenced painfully dragging herself home
ward, during which she tainted three times.
1t was three hours, or nearly ii o'clock,
when she regained her home, the walk be-
ing less than ten minutes distance between
Mrs. Thompson's and her own house. The
appearance of the poor woman as she re-
turned to her own house was painful and
shocking, and her condition was critical.
The neighborhood was at once aroused,
the intelligence flying like wildfre.
Great efforts have been made to capture
the perpetrators of this awful crime, but
thus far without success. The probabilities
are that if caught they win be lynched.

These are the amounts as stated, as near
as we can learn them from the opening adj
dress of the prosecuting attorney. Some
allowance has to be made for friction, as
mecanics say-but unless there is some ter
rible exaggeration going on-these defend
ants have done business in wholesale way.
If the old distinction as stated by the rob
Der in the conversation with Alexander the
Great be correct-that small operators are
robbers-while wholesale ones are conquer
ers-certainly Allibone and Newhall have
taken enough to entitle them to an acquital,
on the score of conquerers.
