Yes, give me the land where th0 battles red

Yes, give me the land that has legends and

That tell OF the memories OF long-vaniEhed

And names in the graves that shall not be for

Yes, give me the land OF the wreck OF the

There is grandeur in graves there is glory In

For out Of the gloom future brightness Is boon
And after the night looms the bright coming

And the graves OF the dead with grass over

May yet form the footsteps OF IIbsriy's throne
And each single wreck of the war-psth OF

Shall yet be q rock in the temple OF right

Remarkable Exploit OF an English
Jockey.

Jockey.
PROVIDENCE, August 25.-The running
meeting of the Narrsgsnsett Park Asso-
eistion was commenced to-day. The
first race was for the HOpefui Stake, for
two wear olds, $50 each, half forfeit, snd
$500 added, three-quarters Of mile, and
closed with seventeen entries. The race
was won by Morris bay colt. The horses
came in close together.
The second race was handicap, 5000
added to a subscription of $50 each, the
second horse to receive 300 over his
stakes. Is closed with thirteen entries,
distance two miles. Most extraordinary
running was witnessed during this race.
ALI the horses kept well together for the
first half mile. At the three quarter pole
Climax was ahead and full of running,
when singular accident happened. His
near rein broke close to the bride, and
he sheered across the course. Stead, the
English Jockey who was brought over
with Mr. Cameronis imported stable of
thorough-breds, with remarkable pres
enee of mind, reached under the horses
law with his left hand, and drew off the
rein under, bringing his head straight.
Stead then crossed his right hand over the
horses neck, and grasped the head-gear
on the near side, and in this painful and
Iudicrous position passed on the horses
withers, and bending over his neck he
brought Climax over the score, the win
ner by half dozen lengths. This ex-
Mott was received with cheering and
clspping Of hands. Stonewall jackson
came Ia second, the other two trailing.
The third race was for the Providence
Stake, for three year olds, one mile and
half, which closed with twenty-five
entries. McConnel's chesrut horse Duke
was the fav0rite, and won, after being
hard pressed throughout by La Polka,
who came in second, being two lengths
behind. Time, 2:44.
The fourth race was q mile and half,
q match between Cameron's bay gel6ing
Berague, and De Hautville's mare Con-
tent. Csmeron's Berague, ridden by
Mr.. Carroll Livingston, beat Content In
the easiest manner and under q strong
pull in the last quarter. Both gentlemen
rode well. Time, 1853.
The attendance was very large. Racing
men agree that this course is the fastest
for running races In the country.

4 striking Truth.

DR.. Robt. E. Campbell is writing a se-
ries of articles In the Mobile Register, on
the Ethnotogy Of the Negro, or Rrogna-
-tAOsss Race. In late number the fol-
lowing remarkable fact is ststed-one
that we all know and feal the truth Of,
but one that we do not remember ever to
have heard advanced before:
A white man, like biooded horse. can
be worked to death. Not 50 the negro.
whose ethHical elemsnts, like the mule
restrietthe limits OF arbitrary power over
him. Among the four millions OF our
late slaves, it would be difficult, II NOT
impossible, to find an instance of q single
individusl negro, whom the white man,
armed with arbitrary power, hiss ever
been able to make hurt himself at work.
Il Is beyond the power OF the white man
to drive the negro into those long con-
tinued and excessive muscular exertions,
such as the white laborers OF Europe often
impose upon themselves to crafty 8
greedy employer, under 3 fear OF
losing their places, and thereby
starving themselves and their fam
iiies.a Throughout England, nothing Is
more common than decrepitude, prema-
ture old age, and frIghtful list q dis
eases csussd by long continued and ex-
eessive muscular exertion. Whereas, all
America can scarcely furnish an exam
pie of the kind among the pFognsthous
race. The white men OF America have
performed many prodigies, but they have
never yet been able to make the negro
himself. -

A BRIGAND's LETTER.

This evening, at place called Agrile,
we have taken captive Mr.. S. Sottiro-
poulos, member of the House of As
sembly, and we demand eighty thousand
drachmas for his Iansom. Therefore
take care to get ready the ransom money,
that Mr. SOttlropOulOs may see his home
again, for otherwise you will receive his
head. These Franks, who involve the
whole world in dissention, and trouble
the poor people, must bear the blame on
their own throats. They cut off some
of us Pallekaria every day, and if | NAV
not dye my bullet with the blood of one
Frank, when we do not receive the ran
som money, how then shall the Palleka-
ria be able to preserve their reputation
and to continue their systemP We
strictly command you to make no stir.
but to keep the matter secret. Look
well to it; do not put forward the friends
Of Mr.. Sottiropoulos and cause them to
hunt after us, for in that case we will cut
off his head, and afterwards fight against
the hunters like Pallekaria who know
how TO make the blood flow when their
own lives are in danger. By no means
tell the affair to the government, nor per-
NIT the military or gendarmes to pursue
us, for you shall never see Mr.. Sottiro
poulos again. Take good care, also,
that you do not act as did the wife Of
Bambas of Spezzia, for she stirred up
the government to pursue us, aud when
we Pallekaria were fighting with the
soldiers, the Inflated Bambas called out
to them to 60 away, but they did not
hear him, and SO we slew him, in order
that they might not take him alive, and
we be put to shame act then as you

At the appointed hour. the bride and
bridegroom, attended by her cousin Lo-
renzo and q young female associate,
stepped into carriage in readiness at
the door, and hastened to wait upon
the minister OF the parish, residing at
the village about eighteen miles distant.
In the meantime, a small party OF
friends. Mrs. Lincoln among the rest,
assembled at the house of Mrs. Otis to
offer their congratulations to the happy
couple on their return, and tender the
usual civilities on such occasions.
The minister soon performed his part
of the ceremony, when husband and

introduce the newly married couple to
those waiting to greet them.

stood half-amazed, in doubt whether to

sober reality, or whether the occasion
had been seized ON by Mrs. Lincoln to
play off an innocent hoax at her ex-
pense. She was soon, however, con-
