POETRY,
DRIFT.
By GEORGE AR.:oLp.

~ cool green waves that ebb and flow.
Rst,ecting calm, blue skies above,
low gently now vc como and go
Since ye have drowned my love
''Yc lap the shore of beaten sand.
With cool salt ripplcs circling by:
But from your depths ghostly hand
Points upward to tho sky.
80 waves, strew corals, white and red.
With shells and strange weeds from the
deep,
To make rare and legal he'd
Whereon my love may sleep;
"hlay sleep and sleeping, drenm Of me
In dreams Tint lovers find so sweet,
Aud will couch me by the couch
That we in dreams may meet"

Tor the failure Of the cotton crop:
|. y less area Of planted land, prob
ably not more than two othrds.
2. Land badly prepared previons to

stock, commoE and old farm implements,
and The general bad condition Of panta-

OF osttonY plants on the ground planted,
reNElnng from old and defective seed.
i. The general wet spring, the rains

the best low lands to be ovcrhowed. and
as a consequence the rcplanting of the
crop.

CIRCULATION OF THE CITY PRESS.
MoEE CURSES COMING HOME TO Roosr

The proclaim alton of the President stating
that our Government will hold null and void
the late decree of Macmillan closing the port
OF Matamoras and other Mexican ports, now
in possession of the Liberals, is not only con-
sistent with our policy, but in strict accord
ance with the law OF nations. During our
recent civil war we had constant reminders
from England and France of the utility of
paper blockades, unsupported by a competent
military or naval force. Our stric. adherence
to this recognized law, very Inconvenient to
US st that time, and very profitable TO other
powers, gives us the right now 20 claim its
enforcement when we reap the benefits and
others have 70 suffer the disadvantages Like
the Fenian invasion, which troubled John
Bull, il is only another illustration OF courses
coming home to roost." ~.
This important step taken by the Executive
10 maintain our national rights and dignity,
will, " &c have no doubt meet a ready response
IN the popular heart, whether the result he
war or peace. II shows that the Admipistra
ton, while jealously guarding the interests of
the people of all the States, and endeavoring
to bring about harmony and good feeling at
home, is determined to enforce our rights
abroad, by Ia king such an attitude in respec,
TO our foreign relations as will command the
respect of other nations, and meet the approval
of all true Americans
