What tongue could tell cr pen impart,
The riches cf its hidden lore !
Safe from the world's distrustful eye.
What deep and burning feeling p'1)',
Which e'en stern reason's power defy,
And wear the sands of life away.
Think not beneath a smiling brow,
To always find a joyous heart.
Ir Wit's bright slow, and reasons flow,
Too often hide a cankering dart.
The bird with bruised and broken wing,
Oft tries to mount the air again,
Among its mates to gaily sing.
Its Lt melodious dying strain.
The fire that lights the flashing eye,
May by a burning heart be fed,
Which in its anguish yearns to die.
While yet it seems to pleasure wed.
Oh, do not harshly judge the heart,
Though cohi and vain it seem3 to be,
Nor rudely seek the veil to part.
That hides its deep, deep mystery.

XT THE ACTDOn OF "COCS! ALLT DILtlABD.
Brooks who lived in Dobson county.
North Carolina, wanted to buy a tract of
land near him, and concluded to dis
patch one Angus McAlpin to Charleston,
South Carolina, to buy it from the owner,
who lived there. All the necessary ar
rangements were made. Angus started
cff,and in due time Brooks would take
his scat and look down the road, in the
hope of seeing his agent returning. At
last he appeared, and the moment he
nearcd the house Brooks accosted him
" Will, Mac, have you got the land!"
The agent in whose face was any tiling
but sunshine, replied somewhat gruffly,
that "he might let a bodv ret down from
his horse, be fore he put at him with qucs- j
i-i... .: I
But Brooks was in
a a fever of anxietv. ; late letter from Camargo. gives the follow
siion ' inir description of a Mexican wedding
tad repeated the que
"Did vou get it!
" Pshaw, now Brooks, don't press up
on a bodv in this uncivil war. It is a
long story, and I rauthavc time."
: Brooks still ured, and Mac still par
ricd the question till they got into the
house.
"Now surely," thought Brooks, "he
will tell me." But Mac was not quite
ready.
"Brooks," said he, "have you any
thing to drink V
To be sure I have," said the ciher,
tnd immediately had some of the best
forthcoming.
Having moistened his clav, Mac took
a seat and his employer another. Mac
fave a preliminary hem! He then
turned suddenly around to Brooks, look
ed him straight in the eyes, and slapped
him on the thigh.
" Brooks," says lie, "was you ever in
Charleston !"
" Why, you know I never was," re
plied the oihor. ;
"Well, then Brooks," says the agent,
"vou ought to go there. The greatest
place upon the face of the earth! They've
git houses there on both sides of the road
tor five miles at a stretch, and d n the
horse track the whole wpy through!
Brooks, I think I met five thousand peo
ple in a minut?. and not a chap would
look at me
Thev've got houses there
on wheels
Brooks I saw one with six
horses hitched to it, and a big driver with j
alonr whip going it like a whirlwind, j
I followed it down the road for a mile and 1
a half, and when it stopt I looked, and
what do you think it was? Nothing in
it but one little woman sitting up in one
corner.
'Well, Brooks, I turned up -the road,
and as I was riding along I sees a fancy
looking chap with long
curlv hair
t
hanging down his back, and
his boots
as shiny as the laceol an up-country lug
ger.! I called him into the middle of the
road and aked him a civil question, and
a civil question, you know, Brooks, calls
for a civil answer, all over the world.
I sav, avs I, Stranger, can vou tell
where Col
Lamar lives: and what do
vou think was the
answer "Ga to
h IjOU fool.'' .
' Well. Brooks, I knocks along up and
down, and about until at last I finds out1
were Col. Lamar lives. I got down and
bangs away at the door. Presently the
door was opened by as pretty, fine spo
ken, well dressed a wom-.ri as erer yon
seed in your born days. Brooks. Ai.'Ars,
lilki thtir, every day, Brooks. ;
" Says I, 'Mrs. Lamar, I presume, mai
an,' pays I.
I am Mcs. Jnmar, sir.
" We'd, nrid'.m, savs I, "I have c?m
si! th way from North Carolina to see
Col. Lamar to ep.3 about buying a track
cf l:.nd from him that's up in our parts.
t ' Then she says,Col. Lamar has rode
rut in the country, but will be back short
ly. Ccrae in, ehr, a id. w sit avhile. -
, I'vano doubt the Col. will soon return,'
j and she had a smile upon that pretty
face of her's that reminded a body of a
j spring mornin.'
j Well, Brocks, I hitched my horse to
j a brass thing on the door, and walked in.
j " Wei!, when I got in. I sees the floor
! all covered with the nicest looking thing !
nicer than any patchH-work bed quilt j
i vou ever seed in yur hie, Broods. 1 was
j trving to edge along around it, but pres-
! cntly I sees a'niggcr stepping right over it. ;
j Thinks I, li that nigger can go it, I can go
j it too. So right over it I goes, and takes
j my seat right before a picture, which, at
first, I thought was like a htde man look-in-'
in at a window.
4 ell, brooks, mere I sat waiting audi
waiting for Col. Lamar, and at lust he'
didn't come, but thev began to bring in j
dinner. 'I'll inks I to myself here's a j
scrape. But I made up my mind to tell !
her that, if she asked me to eat to tell j
her with a genteel bow, that I had no)
occasion to eat. But, Brooks, she did'nt j
ax me to cat she askrd me if I'd be so
good as to carve that turkey for her, and
she did it with one of them lovely smiles
that make the cold streaks run down the
small of a fellow's back.
"Certainly madam! says I, and I
walks to the table there was on one
side of the turkey a great big knife as big
as a bowie knife, and a fork with a trisr-
ger on it on the other side. j
" W ell, I tails to work, and in tue nrst
effort I splashed the gravy about two
yards over the whitest table-cloth you
ecr seed in your life. Brooks. Well, I
felt the steam begin to gather about mv
eyes. But, I'm not a man to back out
for trifles, so I makes another effort, and
the darned thing took a flight and lit
in Mrs. Lamar's hp.
We'd, you see, Brooks, then I was
taken with a blindness, and the next I re
member, I was upon the Iinth a kicking.
Well, by this time I began to think of
navigating. So I goes out and mounts

A MEXICAN WEDDING.
MIDNIGHT CEREMONY. ,
A correspondent of-the Picavune, in a
which he attended:
A Mexican wedding is to come off in
the church to-morrow niht at one o'clock
and I am goin? to form one of the party.
. This getting married, at "the solemn hour
of. midnight," is a new idea to me, and I
would not miss the scene for any con
sideration. Will they invite one to kiss
the bride, I wonder? And if invited ought
a fellow to profit bv the privilege? But
I we will sec the bride before we decide
hese momentous questions.
Capt. Miles, on being informed of the
' wish of die parly to hold the wedding to
j ni'iht. extended to them every facility for
going tnrougn witn tne ceremony unmo
lested. Had he received information a
little earlier he would have furnished them
with muste, so that a regular ball would
have taken place.
Atir. 12. I attended the wedding last
night, and shall never regret it, though it
isTather hard to be roused out of a sound
slumber at 1 o'clock at night. At half
past 1 we entered the church, where the
pa due and his assistants were already
robed for the ceremony. These assistants
consisted of an elderly Mexican and four
boys, the latter being three-fourths Indian.
The altar was lighted up with long wax
candles, set in massive silver caudle
s'iks. and candles were also burning in
the vicinitv of the large wax figures in
other parts of the building. The bride-
groom soon made his appearance with
the bride, attended by a bridesmaid and
groomsman. The bridesmaid, a beautiful
Utile woman, was dressed in black a
prettier ligure 1 never loosed au I lie
bride, a tall, awkward, plain-looking wo
man of twenty-three, was dressed in dark
figured stuff. The bridegroom, a short.
! stumpy fellow, about 30 years old, with
an ugiy visage, had on white pants, and a
blue roundabout. He looked confused,
and took very little notice of the bride; in
fact he acted like a man who felt ihathe
was gelling himself into a disagreeable
situation. .The first part of lhe ceremony
was similar to that observed in Louisiana.
The hands were joined, ring placed upon
the finger, etc. Ths parties then knelt
before 'he altar, and one end of a beauti
ful silk rebozo wa3 thrown over the
bride's head, the other end falling about
the shoulders of the bridegroom. A sil
ken cord, about the size, of the little fin
ger, with a regular hangman's noose, was
then, slipped over the head of each, yo
king them together hard and fast. Thev
remained in this position, holding lighted
candies in their hands, for nearly an hour,
The bride became wearied, and leaned a
little on the rope, but not hard enough to
choke the loving husband. The padre
was in the meantime engaged in prayer,
and one of the boys rang a little, silver
bell occasionally, to wake up the little
audience of twenty or thirty, who crossed
themselves, and then relapsed into their
former state of stupidity. All hands re
tired quietly from the church, and scatter
ed to their hoines. Only four. or. five. A-
mericans were present. Nobody, fortu
natelv, was called on to kiss the bride.

In the course of the present month anotn -

added a thousand men at least connected

attendants of the camp, it will be !
swelled to six thousand. At least this
number will, at all events, have to be,
subsisted, and that subsistence must, be
yond question, be derived from the United
States.
Gen. Kearnev arrived at Fort Bent on
the 30:h of July, At left on the 2d of Aug. !
lie had limited supply of rations, & these j
were extenuated by reducing the men to j

is the true cause of bis brief stav at I nrt shore was lined with dense masses of
Bent, and denotes the difficuhies in his
way and in that of the mounted men who
were to follow him. To all our inquiries
as to the prospect of forage for his ani
mals at Santa Fe, we have received the
same uniform answer: it was not to be
had, except in vi.-ry limited quantities,' at
the rrn?heros from ten to twenty and
mere miles from Santa Fe. In die whole
department the highest estimate of the
surplus wheat is 7,000 to 8.000 bushels, t
and corn was earec as to make it worth, j
when it could be obtained at all, 63,50 !
per bushel. Such is the prospect pre-i

Now as to supplies from the United
States. Strange as it mav seem, the sev
eral detachments of wagons, upon which
alone troops could rciy for provisions,
were despatched without a military es
cort, and with no other means of defence
than a few muskets, and a very limited
supply of ammunition, placed in the hands
of the teamsters. Indians suddenlv, and
very unexpectedly to all, made their ap
pearance on the road, with the evident in
tention of robbing the trains and taking
such things as they wanted. The team
sters were not in a condition to resist
them, and, as this became evident, there
can be no doubt that the Indians became
more daring in' their . encroachments, un
til, it is probable, life as well as property
was taken. It is known that from one
team fifteen oxen were run od'in a night;
there was no other alternative than to
stop with it altogether, or lessen the num- j
ber employed in naming other teams," to
get it along.
These difficulties were, it is feared, on
ly. . commencing, , and unless - Colonel
Price, who was in the rear with his regi
ment, undertook to give the. Indians a
sound drubbing, all die provision wagons
were in danger of being delayed, if not
cut oil, and the army left to starve. We
do not know enough of army matters to
ay where the blame belongs, but it seems
to us that there has been gross neglect in
not sending a proper military guard to pro-
tcct the various detachments of provision
wagons: " .
From the facts which we have stated,
some idea may be formed of tthc probable
condition and the prospects of the "Army
of ihe W"evl on. its arrival al, Santa Fe.
Uuless provisions reach there before the
winter sets in, the main reliance of the
men for subsistence must be upon the
sheep to be found and the limited quanti
ty bt wheat and corn to be purchased in
thatregioru.- This,'it must be confessed,
is not a very flattering prospect for an ar
my, but no oiher presents itself to us in
store for them. .. V. " '

As the wreck drilled down stream great
fears were entertained that she would run

lav at anchor in the stream. This was
prevented, however, by her coming in
contact with a small slnop, setting her
bows on fire, and ihen veering round and
setting fire to her whole broadside. Af
ter a hard firht llu- blazing wreck was
I beaten off and pursued her course down

The explosion shook the large steamers
Ilendrik Hudson and Empier, lying at
the Cortland-st. piers. The timbers were
thrown high up into the air, and the bodv
of at least one person was seen falling
with the timbers. The boiler was not
seen after the explosion. That part of it
not broken to pieces went immediately to
the bottom.
The sufferers were immediately carried
to the Hospital and taken care of. Their
names are
Daniel Slawson, passenger, aged 78,
father-in-law of Alderman Gilbert, 1st
ward. He was badly scalded, and died
in a few minutes after being taken to the
Hospital.
Wm. Hull, passenger, lives at No. 177
Lewis-st. His face is verv much batter-
ec
both arms badlv burnt, and is bruised on
his back.
George Van Wart. 2d Engineer, bro
ther of William, has his arms, legs, back
and throat, badly burnt.
One of the firemen is mining, -supposed
to hare been the Imdy seen blown up
in the air at the time of the explosion.
We. leant that the first Engineer was
struck on the back by something heavy
and forced through a bulk-head, and on
returning to his station found Mr. Slaw
sou in his (the Engineer's room lying on
his back with a. large piece of the smoke
pipe alongside of him.
The injuries sustained by Mr. Slawson
were not known last evening1. A Coro
ner's inquest is to be held this morning.
The cause of the explosion is a3 yet un
explained. There are various rnmor?
about it, but we cannot state anything as
positive. The 1st Engineer says that
there was only about eighteen inches of
steam on just before the explosion.
There must be a searching enquiry insti
tuted as io the causes of this sad catas
trophe, and let the public know, whether
or not it is the result of. carelessness.

of August for ihe city of Mexico. The
papers give no account of his arrival
there; but one of them, the Republicano,
complains of their wailing his arrival to
forward reinforcements to the army of
the north. Santa Anna, it says, is not
the nation: nor is Gen. Taylor n knight
errant waiting the arrival of a new cham
pion. An official letter of Gen. Ampudia, ad
dressed to the Mexican Secretary of War,
and dated at S.m Luis da Potosi, 13th
August, sneaks of the march of Gen.

de la Palma, though he says he himself is
not well, and the greater part of his men
arc recruits, without clothing and without
artillery.
. A letter from Monterey, dated the 23th
of July, says that they expect Gen. Tay
lor there about the I5h of August: and
although their small army was prepared
to ma.e a good ceicnce, tney expected a
defeat unless the first brigade c f the army,
which Ielt Mexico tinder the command of
Garcia Conde, should arrive seasonably.
The general of division, Don Pedro
Cortazar, had been appointed general-in

will reao the full harvest his enterprise

Success to them all. Our merchants and

And precisely the same advice 13 go oil
for the whole country. Let the Ameri
can people everywhere "encourage the?
establishments al their own door." Let
them buy of those who live nearest, and
to w!forn they can sell their surplus prr
duce. Instead of going to England for
goods, go to the factory nearest your own
door. And let the Covernment protect
ami build up such Factories, Instead of
j abandoning them to the rivalry of foreign
capitalists. We rejoice to notice facts
j ti,at which elicited this advice from
t the Enquirer. Tiie South is very cener
zy tumin? its attention to manufacturing.
; Tt ha3 abundant water power, rhean h
bor and the raw material close at hand;
and ihere is no reason why manufactures
should not reach the same high point of
prosperity and succes there, which thev
have attained in other sections of th?
Un'.on. We hope to see the day when
Factories and Forges and Mids of every
description shall be profusely scattered
over the South employing its labor, de
veloping its resources, extending i;s com
merce and promoting its general prosperi
ty 2nd advancement. We look to such 3
consummation with high hope, not merely
for the South-itself, but for the whole
country, and above al! for the preservation
of the C.mox, upon which depend all cur
i prospective greatness and glory. Let the
South once ieel trie full enect of exten
sive Manufacturing Establishments, let
the system take root then?, as it has dons
at the North and East, and wc shall soorj
see a different tone of public, feeling upon
many of the grea questions which agitate
and threaten the welfare of the country.
Instead of regarding a Protective Tar
iff as the enemy of her prosperity, as a.
hostile encouragement of free, to the de
pression of slave labor, she will then,
regard it as the gret defence of American
labor of all kinds rgain-st the ruinous rt
va rv of foreign labcr. Instead of hav
ing and cherishing sectional interests, she
will then have interests more in common
i w;lh. those of the entire Fuson, and will
