Scotland there's music in the name,
Where fought tho brave and burned the fame
OF war, and savage lust
Was unrestrainod, and on the ground
The brarest sous lay dead around,
And MINCED with the dust.
Scotland Ilove thy tempted hills,
Thy placid lakes, thy gentle rlls,
Thy mountains too, sublime;
Thy streams, that to the ocean flow,
Thy crumbliug towers all do show
The rapid flight OF time.
Scotland thou land Of Walter Scott,
Who from the hills poesy brought,
And nature's gifts improvcd;
And from thy cliffs and woods did bring
Hs brightest thoughts, and true did sing
OF Scotland's fields and woods.
Scotland +! where Wallace lived and fought,
And nought but Scotland's freedom sought,
And oft arranged his band.
Swift vengeance on the foe TO take,
Aud from the woods his troops did break,
And tossed the flaming brand.
Scotland the pride Of all tho world;
Briton's base troops were on thee hurled,
To them thou didst submit;
But thou art still the PRIDE OF all,
And freedom shrisked when thou didst fall,
And thou are pitied yet!
Thou art the place where many tales,
or meadows, fields, and sholtering dales,
OF fiction and OF truth,
Were written, and thou'rt pleasant too,
Thy highlands have a pleasing view,
To cheer poets youth.

The smallpox, we sec it stated. is
raging in Reading, about nine miles
from Cincinnati. Some time since,
the effects of a family who had tho
small pox were sold at aution. A large
number of bidders were present, and it
is supposed they carried the disease to
their families, for within ten DAYS af.
ter the sale, five persons had died of
the disease. Several more are dan.

Potatoes Then and Now.-In 1857,
"Virginia potatoes" as they were then
callcd.werc just beginning to be known,
and the sweet potato was cooked and
eaten in manner quite different from
that pursued at the present day. An
old writer says of them: "Thcy are
used TO be eaten rosted in the ashes :;
some when they be so rostcd infusc
them, and sup them in wine; and
others, to give them the greater grace
in eating, do boil them with prunes,
and so eat them. And likewise others
dresse them (bcing first rostcdD with
ollie, vinegar, and salt, every man ac-
cording to his own taste and liking
notwithstanding howsocvcr they be
dressed, they comfort, nourish and
strength the bodies"

LADIES MARRYING STRANGERS
How common it is, far worthy ladies,
widows and single girls, to marry
strangers upon a very slight acquaint-
ance! The man may be base villain,
and he may have another wife, but if
he has money, is man Of good address,
and wears fine clothes, those accom-
phshments will pass him, while honest
men, well raised, and Of we'll known in
tegrity, will be spurned. In this coun-
try, the casest villains living are ad-
mittcd into good society, if they have
money and dress well.
However pale, dreary, and toilsome,
"a single life may be, an unhappy mar
ricd life is ten ten times worse. And
these hasty marriages with strangers
alone for their wealth, real, or imagin-
ary, are ever after full of innumerabls
regrets-they are torment from which
there is no escape but by death.
Girls, our advice to you is never to
barter lifelong happiness for gold or
fine clothes. When these arc the only
ties that bind two persons tOgcther,the
union cannot be otherwise than unhap,
py. Avoid all such men, and such ties,
as you would famine and pcsticnce
death and ruin Marry for love and
work for riches" is an old and safe
maxim. Never marry for riches and
afterwards for love. This you will find
an up hill business .-Brownlow's Villa.

From Sonora.


 By late arrivals and letters from Sonora, we are informed that those persons concerned in the riot atGuaymas lately, were arrested by the authorities Martinon, Jose lberra, Espinosa, Jose Yriyager, the ringleaders, were exiled from the country. rAcrey
 Whether any steps were taken to punish the ringleaders of the late mob at Hermosillo, we hear not, only so much, that Mr. Hancock, at whose house some Americans are stated to have been grossly nsultel, was asked shortly after. wards by the Prefect of the town whether he desired that the perpetrators of the outrage should be punished, to which he is said to have replie in the negative, probably out of fear of future annoyance from one of the principal culprits, who is notorious character by the name of Arriza, person considered as such in Hermosillo, even but probably of too much in- fuence amongst it's row1y population, to over, awe those that were peaceably inclined in these revolutionary times fe stt i lo 'oLo
 Mir. Hancock is an American cabinetmaler, resident of Hermosillo, industrious, active and intelligent and although living and married in Sonora, he has not forgotten his native country. We also learn that one of the chiefs of the Apa- ches has sent word to Sonora that his nation will make peace with that country, if agreeable

AN AMERICAN MURDERED 3 O clock. P M. on Friday, the 9th inst, Greenbury Byrd, an American was found on ranche just above Tomaca. cari, mortally wounded He was taken up ard properly cared for, but died on Friday night.
 The deceased, a quiet, good natured, respec- table young man, was attacked on Thursday night, it is believed by his own Mexican labor CTS. and left for dead. The murlerers took con siderable stock belonging to the place anl left for Sonora. M,. Byr was from one of the Car onas, but emigrated to Arizona from Waco, McLenan county, Texas. He had been in the country about one year and half, residing most of the time at Calabazas ranche No req son can be assigned for this murder except plunder, as Mir. Byrd was in the habit of treat ing his men kindly. As may be supposed, this melancholy incident occasions considerable feeling against Mexicans and occurring just at this time when American citizens are being driven out of Sonora, tends to exasperate the inhabitants of this Territory 10 dangerous de- gree. Several respectable Mexican traders are in the habit of visiting this section with theS trains, for the purpose of trading and are always treated we'll. The case is however, just this :, if Americans are driven forcibiy from Sonora, and with impunity robbed and murdered, it will operate very unfavorably against Mex jeans on the American side of the line We sincerely hope there will be no serious troubleon this point, no nasty violence, but appearances indicate it at present Meanwhile we do not believe that the respectable DOT tion of the Sonoranians desire to be involved in relentless border warfare, equally dsas trous to both countries. aae%l

.3i APACHE WHIsKY.-Our correspondent at A pa che Pass gives us the following account of the manner-in which the In Hans of this region manufacture their "iis1uin,'' or l" tisween, an intoxicating liquor of extraordinary ferocity-- He says: rd ~LI'o " lo"The corn is first soaked for twenty-four hours, hole is then dug in the ground, genel.- ally in wigwam and some dry grass laid on the bottom on this grass the corn is placed and layer ofgrass over it. Four or five times a day warm water is sprinklel over the corn, an l at night the family sleep on it, to increase the warmth, and make tho corn sprout quick At the end of four or five days tho corn is all sprouted; it is then dried and pounded fine. put in kettle anl boiled for five hours; when cooled, it is mixed with sugar and flour, anl left to ferment for twelve hours, when itis ready for drinking. Although not rank to the taste, and fiery, its intoxicating power is very great, and when an Indian has quart or two on board he don't care copper who is President of the United States

The late M assacrc.

It is now generally known throughout this portion of the Territory that an attempt was recently made by band of lawless men to drive the Mexican population from the coun- try, and several persons were killed on the Son. oits. We are authorized to say that the whole proceeding meets, from large proportion ofthe American residents, with severe condemna- tion. We shall next week publish full state- ment of the outrageous affair, with the names of our American population to sustain and guarantee it. Until then we assure all well dis. posed Mexicans that they need be under no concern they will be fully protected.

Lockridge's Expedition.

The armed expeditions now being organized in New York, says the Tribune, and other cities with the ostensibe view of -emigrating to Ari zona, will not be permitted to enter that Terri tory, special orders to that effect having been issued to the United States troops. The stop- ping of Col Lockridge by Gen, Twiggs, is sane toned here, and similar orders have been ex- tended to New Mexico. in order to prevent the entrance of these ban Is of marau lers into that Territory. The troops now in New Mexico will be removed into Arizona, if it should be ome necessary, and their places supplied by others from the Platte country.

Sonoita Valley.

oOuoktd Ndllcy
 On the road to Calabazas ranche, from Tu- bac, when about one mile from the former place, the traveller will notice wide opening in the range of hills upon his left hand, and slightly marked road extending in an easterly direction. This is the entrance to the Sonoita val.y or, rather, canon, which contains some of the best farms in Arizona The total len yth of Sonota valley is about eleven miles, it's breadth from fifty feet to half a mile; the sides precipitous, and very rough. The road winds along the bed ofthe stream most of the way, between tall cliffs occasionally, where the passage is very narrow. The Sonoita, clear, rippling brook, runs through the valley like all streams in this country, intermittent, and before it reaches the Santa Cruz, toward which it runs so briskly, dives into the sand and disappears Now and then the valley widens little, leaving a small interval, which can be irrigated, and here are the farms, hemmed in by the adjacent hills, which roll away into formidable mountain ranges. There are seven farms on the Sonoita. besides one or two little spaces, where there are houses inhabited by laborers In all, there is probably six or seven hundred acres of arable land capable of regular irrigation, in the whole valley. First comes Findlays rancho, the lar gest of the lot, containing nearly two hundred acres. Here a grist mill is being erected, which will be great benefit to the country Next, Pennington's, and then Marshall's MT. Mar shall has about one hundred and sixty acres of land capable of easy and highly profitable cul- tivation. It is we'll situated, and bears some fine timber for this country. We next come to Wodsworth's ranche, which is very productive, and we'll watered Mr. W. raised last year, among other crops barley to the amount of five thousand dollars Wards and Axe farms are abunlantly supplied with water, anl pro- duee good crops. At this time, the barley, which is seen on all the ranches, as preimi- nary to the corn crop, although late, looks we'll A greater part of it will find market at Fort Buchanan, to be used as fodder for the troop horses. The road along the Sonoita valley is at present in very bad condition If it is to be public highway ana it ought to be, the in habitants would profit to expend some labor in repairing the bad places, cutting away trees, and filling up dangerous holes It is roman tic ride along the banks ani channel of the lit tie stream, which is treasure beyond price to the farmers of the neighborhooi "Sonoita,' ,'' in Spanish, signifies clover and there was never a more correct appellation. for the narrow val ley is matted with luxurant growth of clover, which, when short and green, is much relished by cattle. For wonder there are a few fish in this stream liminutive specimens of the mullet tribe, such as are called "dace," or sinners, in the States They are liable, how ever, to be made "small fry in double sense whenever the water dries up The Sonoita is
