respondent of the Charleston Courier says:
The day after this procession, the Delta had a
pendent Democrats. The Louisiana Courier ably
revived under the "old line" Democratic auspices,

THE CALoRIc ENGINE IN PRINTING.-The North
ampton (Mass) Gazette thus records the trumphs of
its new caloric engine:
1t goes like clock" Putting and blowing, it
tugs away at its work like boy at his stent. Hnn-
dreds have been to see it. "What makes it go p"
asks one. Where is the water?" asks another.
What the deuce won't they get up next?' And on
escape of hot air. When more heat is generated
than is needed to drive the press it is passed off
through the escape pipe. No water is used A fire
is built in the little furnace and the wheel set in
tion, and away it goes. 1t needs no attention any
further than to keep the fire burning. Any boy can
manage it. And besides driving the press, it gives
all the heat necessary to warm the room in the cold
est weather. 1t can consume but little fuel, and
est power in the world When first set up the draft
was not good, and it failed to show its power, but
that difficulty has been overcome, and now it goes
like top" Three cheers for the caloric printer

+" HoW STILL THE HORN,
IL PzssgRoso.

From the Charleston Mereury.I
How still the hour, how still
As if night had all her own;
And her sway, without will, ~
Were a Queens upon her throne !!
No voice to break the calm, 44s
And but the west winds breath,
Soft, over beds Of balm,
That make sleep akin to death!
All, bark as from afar.
Loves murmur of delight;
IT'S some fair girls guitar,
That sounds from yonder height.
It breaks the liquid air,
Yet soothes the wound 1t makes
And though it breathes of care,
'Tis love alone that wakes.
Hush! DER the wave it swells,
And the waters seem to sleep;
A murmur only tells
OF the depth within the deep:
And the west wind, late in play,
Now droops upon the beach,
As if It felt the sway, o.
OF a strain it could not reach!
Alas! for the young heart,
Whose song go sweetly takes
Winds, waves, and with an art,
30 sovereign, nature wakes )
1t mourns the song in vain,
That fails one only ear ~
All others 1t may chain, ..
But tue one it fain would hear.

From HAYrI. Why President GeGrard7s
Daughter ras Observation-Disclosures have been
received by the Boston Traveller, which confirms the
Of the assassination of Cora, the daughter of
President Gcffrard she was shot through the head
by the consprators from the garden Of the palace,
while she was seated at a table reading prayer
book. 1t is said she was the victim Of plot, of
which party recently arrived at New York was the
supposed head-for the overthrow of the President
but it has wholly failed. The guilty partes who are
followers of Soulouque, have been arrested in great
numbers and will be brought to condgn punishment.
The unfortunate girl, who thus tragicaly persisted,
was but nineteen years of age, and had been married
only two months. In assassinating the daughter the
eonsprators thought that the distracted father would
have FASTENED to the bloody scene, and they had
ambuscades arranged on the way from which they
would fire at the President he hurried BY and then
the villains would have had full power to seize the
capital and ensanguine the whole country. Fortu-
natey for the father he suspected something of the
kind and did not expose himself.
