uSyAIL the form, the face unvail
That never quailed to mortal man
In scuptured stone the Tribune hail
The Patriots manly features scan
Fit tribute 10 his honored name,
The fret Reformer of the age,
The heir 10 an enduring fame
In truthful history's brightest page.
His advent into public life,
Girt in his patriot coat of mail,
Brought courage TO the gathering strife,
A voice that turned corruption pale
lie placed his back against a rock,
While hostile ranks inclOsed him round,
And bore unmoved the fierceet shock,
Nor bated once an inch of ground.
Assailed by many yenal scribe,
BY SANDER coarse, by scornful jeer,
To every worthless taunt and libe
He turned "a deaf or dauntless ear;
The ridicule that few can stand,
When polished satire aims the dart,
And malice seeks q name 70 brand,
Fell poiutlees from his noble heart.
With facts and figures doubly armed,
Strong in his cause the good man stood;
No labors tired, no fears alarmed
No frown of power his soul subdued:
From licensed punderers bent TO guard
The public purse, the public veal,
Chief Of little band he warred,
With words more strong than pointed steel.
The friend Of universal man,
Whate'er his creed, whatee Ter his cline,
His mind o'erlept the narrow spans
OF party for field sublime.
The heat and burden of the day
With steadfast viii the patriot bore,
Then sunk 10 rest with evening gray,
His task fulilled-his warfare Ger.
While Senates owned his matchless worth,
Integrity no power could bend
The Joy OF the domestic hearth,
He lived the husband, father, friend:
ROBBED in simplicity and truth,
A Spartan virtue round him shone,
And mingled with the fires of youth
The wisdom that with years had grown.
Home of his early dreams, Montrose
Scenes where his joyous boyhood ran
His name reflected luster throws
Ger wood, and stream, and howery lawn:
The Eek runs sparkling to the sea,
The pillows lave the lovely shore,
An anthem to the brave and free
Still blending with the oceans roar.

The STEAM PLow.-Mr. Fawkes, who left here
with his steam plow few days ago, intends to give it
thorough trial the Illinois prairies before Winter
sets in He told the day he started, that he would
turn over 100 acres of sod, at least in job, and
that will show, said he whether the steam plow is
really practicable working machine, and whether the
prairie can be broken by steam at less expense than by
horses ard oxen. Depend upon IT, the world shau
have practical test OF the result we hope soon to
hear.

GOV. wIsE's POSITION.

The New York papers contain six column let
ter from Gov. Wise, of Virginia, in reply to
certain questions addressed to him by number
of New Workers, who hatterinely alude to his
position Il candidate for the Presidency-The
main questions upon which Mr. Wise dilates at such
length are the protection due to naturazed
citizens returning to the country of their birth,
the re-opening of the slave trade, and the enactment
by Congress of slave code for the Territories
In the first place, Mr. Wise goes in for the
fullest protection to naturalzed citizens In the
secopd place, he declares himself opposed to the
re-Opening of the slave trade, which he considers
offensive to the large majority of shareholders and
the people of the South. In the third place, he
does not consider the enactment of "slave code"
Tor the Territories judcious necessary but he
holds that the stakeholder going into a Territory
OF the United States with his slave property is
entitled, under the Constitution to be protected
in the possession and use of that property. He
would not permit the people of Territory, previous
to their assuming the responsibilities of State
government to exclude slave property by unfriendly
legislation. Speaking of the Union he concludes {:
"Let it be perpetuated forever; let its FLAG of
freedom float protection over all its citizens,
everywhere, and over all their property and rights,
at home and abroad 1t NAV have at times TO be
surrendered on the battle field; it may be torn BY
the steel of the ioemans bayonct may be burnt or
backened by the flash of powder in the "sulphurous
slroc of red war;; but never never, never let it be
polluted by the stains of inhumauity or immortality
or dshonOred by the cowardice which renounces
protection and ignores the equal rights of American
citizens For these principles, if need be, 1 would
vote to hew down forests of live oak to build ships
dig mountains Of iron to cast guns turn all our
cotton into canvas, and burst it out of its bolt
ropes, in battles with all Europe. Boldly avow
and maintain these principles, and there will be no
need OF battles, but VIC will have everywhere
protection and peace"

worthy of this gentleman-whose talents and pa
triotism and administrative ability qualify him for
any trust-that he should make known his opinions
and his course upon subject which has already
become matter of constant and animated discussion
in his own State. When the proper time arrives
for Mr. Thompson to vindicate his position. we are
sure he will put his indiscreet and unrefecting
opponents hOrs de combat. lie has now with him

can people, but decided majority of the southern
States and of all the people in each southern

DIVINE SERvICEs-Last Sabbath was a de-
lghtful day in Newbern and the churches were
pretty well crowded with intelligent and attentive
listeners. We attended, as usual three OF four diff
ferent churches, and heard sermons from ministers
of as many different denominations and we must
say that were unable to discover any difference
in the terms of salvation presented by them, or
in the means to be adopted in its attainment.
We particularly pleased with the very excel
lent discourse Of Rev. Mr. Sinclair, Presbyterian
minister from Charlotte, who was on a visit to our
town, and preached in the Presbyterian church at
o'clock Sunday afternoon. The object of his
discourse to show how natural yet how foolish
it is for to barter away the hope of happiness i'll
the years ofour declining life, and particularly in
that eternal life that awaits all in the regions
beyond the grave, for few fccting moments Of
pleasure derived from an improper indulgence in
the frivolous fashions and amuscments Of the day,
which are SO dazzling to the youthful eye. Mr.
Sinclair is young of fine learning and address,
and is destined to take high position in the
church to which he belongs.-Ne~Lern Progress,

FEMALE HEROISM.

In the course of recent speech in Congress by
the Hon. Joseph Lane, Oregon, he related the fol-
lowing incident which occurred in the Indian war
of Oregon:
While in Oregon last summer, took occasion
to inquire of the chief, who was mainly instrument
tai in getting up this war, to learn the particulars
of the fate of some of our people who disappeared
in the war of 1855, and Of whom We had been
able to learn nothing
When [ suggested to the agent, in the council,
that proposed to inquire into the fate of Mrs
Wagner, Mrs Haynes, and Others he was inclined
to think it would raise the bitter feelings of the
Indians, but said he would make the inquiry. l
told him that | had passed thro the country where
these people had lived, and that their friends were
very anxious to learn their fate. We inquired in
relation to Mrs Wagner who was we'll educated
and handsome woman from New York, who had
lived long in the country and spoke the Indian
tongue fuently. She kept public house by the
roadside, and the good cheer which she always
furnished made it place where travellers delighted
to STOP The Indians informed that the
morning of the 9th of October they came in sight
of the house, where they met some teamsters and
packers; portion of whom they murdered, de-
stroyed the wagons and cargoes well as the
animals, while she was standing in the door.
AS soon as they had murdered the people out
side, they came towards the house, which was
strongly built of hewed logs and had heavy door,
which fastened with cross bars When she saw
them running towards the house, she shut the
door, and dropped the bars to prevent them COM
ing in. They came to the door and ordered her
to come out, and bring out her little girl. She
said "no."
Her husband was absent-aEd by the way, he
was the only man on that road who escaped. They
said that if she did not come out they would shoot
her. She declined, and after some deliberation,
they determined to set the house fire. The
house was directly enveloped in flames; and the
chief, who watched her through little window,
told that he her 60 to the glass arrange her
hair then take her seat in the middle of the room,
fold her little girl in her arms, and wait calmly
til the roof fell and they persisted in the flames
together. And the statement confirmed by
the people who found their remains lying together
In the middle Of the house.
