in the seventh trial From that moment,
Bruce banished dependency, and the hero
of Bannockburn was "himself again. -
He seized the trusty claymore-gathered W

tocsin Of war, and went forth with 6ru
determination to free Scotland from the
yoke OF her merciless invaders, or to perish
in the attempt.
A short time after, the two armies me

question, but bold as Garibaldi is, it is not
expected that he will be so rash as 70 rush
into struggle against France-a country to
which he, as well as all Italians, must feel
greatly indebted, and against which they
could have no hope of success.
This would be so rash that few suppose
that Garibaldi will undertake it. But Sar.
dinia, France and En gland, all are very un.
easy for fear that he will attack Venice, and
thus bring on another struggle with Austria.
In case Austria is attacked, Sardinia can
hope for no assistance from Napoleon ;
hence she has reason to be uneasy. Though
Italy united would be able to stand against
Austria. after she had had time for forming
and training an army; at present, the un'
disciplined thousands which would flock tc
the standard of Garibaldi, would be faI
from match for the mighty and well train
ed army of the Austrian Empire.
A friend of Garibaldi has said that the
conquest of Venice would be undertaken
from Hungary and not from Italy. Pru
dent Italians would certainly much prefer
this. The present extremely unquiet state
of Hungary, and Kossuth's sudden appear
ance in Italy, and holding continual commu
uication with Garibadi, are events attract
ing considerable attention. When the Ital
ian question is settled, if Austria has uot
satisfied Hungary by liberal concessions, she
will have much to fear from that quarter.
If Kossuth and Garibaldi once get ir
Hungary, at the head of a determined ar
my, the Austrian Empire will be worse sha
ken than in 184S. Yet, in spite of all these
dangers and all the attempts made to bring
about reforms, the Austrian government
seems as obstinate as ever.

TO THE EMO R1VER.---BY H. M. c.
DEDICATED TO MISS II.

Flow on thou gentle stream-thou soft Emo:
Along thy peaceful wales still sweetly flow;
Roll on forever from thy ceaseless rills;
Reflect the verdure of the thousand hills
That round thee in majestic grandeur rise,
Lifting their lofty SUBMITS to the skies.
Soft are the flowers that by thy banks repose-
Soft all the scene. Thy wild, thy native rose,
Now modest peeping from its messy bed,
Lifts to the falling dew its little head; 81.
And, here and there, on some neglected spot
Blooms slenderly the coy Forget-me Not.
The yellow Jasmin climbs the verdant Bay,
And fills with fragrance all the leafy way;
Here, round the branching Elm the Ivy-vine
Entwines itself, and, there, the Byzantine
Perfumes the dewy breath of evening hour
Sweet briar of beauty-"the Poets flower"
When weary of the World-listless of Life,
long for Lethe-for surcease of strife,
Mingling with thy murmuring music, low,
Fond Memory turns to thee, beloved Emo.
Then heaves my breast with many soul felt sigh
And thoughts unbidden come, that cannot die.
think of one, who oft has roamed along
Thy shores to list thy laughing, liquid song;
think of one-sweet daughter of thy cline,
Who oft has led me in the olden time
Along thy velvet paths-as fair guide
As ever walked thy banks at Eventide.
Stream of her native land !-beside her home!
Thy shores, since hers, could forever roam
Tho otherspots more sweet, more soft may seem
Tho otherspots with brighter beauties beam
tell thee, till thy waters cease to flow,
I'll love thee ever, gentle, soft Emo.

I thank thee, lady for thy words of cheer
The kind outpourings of thy woman's heart
For one its goodness pities-they impart
Strength 20 the soul, and check the childish tear
I feel, believing my homeward-turning eye;
And as wi the gently-dropping genial rain,
The trampled flower, refreshed, blooms again,
So my bruised spirit, meath thy charity,
Revives, il not with gladness, yet with hope
Hope Of high aims and duty purchased peace,
And after these, perchance, n full release
From carking cares with which now must cope
And blesses thee, my more than sister-friend,
And aye will bless thee till my breath and being

are ranked among the innate privileges Of

for that commanding figure leads you
The hair, on nearer inspection, is dark
hazel, almost black, darker by far than the
beard, which is tawny or reddish. he
wears the hair rather long. The beard is
full, and relieves the length Of the oval
face, which might otherwise be thought
excessive. The temples are somewhat com.
pressed about the region Of the eye, and a
very strong oblique compression is observa-
BILE about the eyebrows The cheek bones
are high, and the nose comes down between
them in perfectly straight, long line, even
with the slightly slanting forehead. The
complexion of that small part of the face
which is not hidden by the beard is not
merely bronzed or sunburnt, it has pecu.
liar sanguine hue, thickly studded with
endless freckles. This remarkable tint,
the features, the color of the beard, joined
to the calm, but deep expression of the.
eye, all contribute to give his coantenance
that unmatched character which won for
Garibaldi the appellatiod=of the thionface.'

LAIN CoMPANY.-It is not generally
known, perhaps, that We have, within the
borders of our State, every convenience: and
facility for producing an excellent and ex-
quisite article of porcelain ware. At Kao-
lin, the Southern Porcelain Company have
been established on firm basis for some
years, and now produce upwards of $50, 900
worth of ware yearly. This Company are
also manufacturing porcelain water-pipes,
and have now contracts on hand for $50, 900
worth of these, large portion of which is
for the water works of the city Of Augusta.
The Porcelain Building is one hundred
and twenty feet long BY forty feet wide,
and the establishment gives constant en-
ployment to about sixty hands. The fire
proof bricks made by this company are said
to excel any others in the country, and they
are shipping clay in large quantities to sew
eral potteries in Europe.
1t is now the determination of the Com.
pany, having, from experience, learned that
the business can be conducted pro6tably, to
enlarge their field of operations, and to
place their ware more extensively in mars
ket for the Southern trade. With this view,
the Superintendent of the works, Mr.. W.
H. Farrar, and the Augusta Agent, Mr.. F.
Holman, are now in Charleston for the pur-
pose of establishing a permanent agency,
and we are pleased to say, that arrangements
to this effect were on Saturday concluded,
and that henceforth the interests of the
"Southern Porcelain Company" will be
represented in this city by the we'll known
Porcelain and Crockery House Of Messrs.
Webb and Sage, where samples of various
styles may at all times be seen.-Mercury.

A PEN AND INK SKETCH OF GARIBAL

don Times writes an interesting letter in
which he describes voyage undertaken in
company with Garibaldi, from Palermo tc
Messina, on the l7th ult. We make the
following extract:
I almost fancy I have made out few Of
the peculiar charms by which Garibaldi
seems to exercise so great an asceudeucy
over all who approach him. We were yes
terday en- tamille, and, although Captain
Weeks had placed his private cabin at the
exclusive disposal Of his illustrious guest
yet Garibaldi came forth familiarly among
US, and made himself for day perfectly
happy, and even heartily merry with hi:
friends. The previous day had been tre
mendously hot-extraordinarily hot, was
told, even for Palermo; and yesterday, al
though we were at sea; there was not q
