Gone :one is each familiar face; The grassy mound, the mossy stone, Of many mark the dwelling place. When dead of night has hushed the world, . All buried in oblivion's sleep, The map of mem'ry is unfurled, On which I gaze, and smile, and weep. I smile when there I see a band Of youths, of which I once was one, Each joined in friendship, heart and hand Each on life's journey just begun. I weep to see where now they are, All scattered, parted, sundered wide All full of gloom, of thought, of care, Their youthful springs Al dried. Beyound the ocean's foaming waves, I Some have been borne to struggle there, "Whilst others down into her cave3 ' Have sunk 'mid scenes of dark despair. All, all in form and mind are changed All tossed upon the sea of life: Trom home and scenes of youth estranged, . Partakers in the world's dark strife. The Fertile West, The Cincinnati Chronicle says that city furnishes means for the exportation cf the produce raised on area of not less than 40,000 square miles, including 21 counties in Indiana, 29 in Ohio, 2G in Kentucky, and 11 in "Virginia. The ce real products of this region of country in the year 1840 wrre, of corn, 51,870,025 bushels ; of wheat, 10,988,570 bushels ; oats; 13,299,520 bushels; barley, 124,S6G bushels ; and it is estimated that this vast amount might be doubled, and this at only half the minimum of European cultivation. From these premises the Chronicle draws several inferences. We give the following : i : "That the corn and wheat raised a round Cincinnati in 1840 was equal to one-eighth that of the entire UnitedSlates; that, at the rate of European Cultivation, it would be one-half of the whole raised in the United States ! . "That the quantity actually raised in 1840 within these limits would feed iix millions of people, and their cattle and horses. "That fifteen only of these eighty seven counties (viz. Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Preble, Montgomery, Clermont, Brown, Clinton, Fayette, Madison, Clark, Champaign, Miami, and Logan) raised more corn in 1840 than the entire amount exported to Europe in 1840 and 1847, with the famine of Ireland and half of Eu rope to make the demand. "That the amount raised in the eighty seven counties was fourfold the boasted export of the United States in 1840 and 1S47." "We cite these extraordinary facts," says the Chronicle,, "only as new evi dences showing the fertility of Nature in this part of the world; the resources which Cincinnati has, to maintain a great popu lation, and the little probability that the European demand will amount to any Tery large proportion of the crops of the United States.'' 4 Trje Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, commenting on the above, says : i "We can sec no reason to doub the correctness of the Chronicle's statements and inferences. It should be slated, how ever,at the same time,- that the liomc consumption of the counties indicated is vastly above the average of most other districts of the world of equal population. Tllfi -n'HSt. inn i vprv rrtnt ronsf- , , . quently its exporting capacity is less than j WouUl appear from the figures Those who have their fears excited that the immense ciportations of flour and grain to Europe would compel the U- j luted States to become importers.- have those fears allayed by this statement of the resources of but a traction of this great and growing' country resources called into action by the ordinary course of e vents, and not stimulated by the high prices of the fall of 1840, and' the pros pect tif their continuance' during the pres ent season. The resources of this coun try to supply any demand are only limited by the means afforded to convey its pro- ducerwhere they may be needed. . The annexed paragraphs from ths !

"Movements in produce iu the West, more on Mr. Polk than on the Tyler Ad and especially in Northern Ohio, are tru- ' ministration, because they took the inilia ly -astonishing. 4 It is estimated that on ! live only, while he had it in his power to Saturday, last there arrived in this city, ! pUt complete stop to it, had he chosen by teams and canal, over one hundrtd j to do so ; but approving of it, he, on the u'ud thirty thousand buihds oj grain. lOthof March, 18 45, caused Mr. Doxel (This estimate includes the flour reduced ! pox to be instructed to carry out and con- ivt.. r . it i 1 . wiuisnels.) . lener irom .uassuon says: Going to Canton the other day, I met, in travelling four miles, 87 wheat teams, most of them carrying about 100 bushels.

This is a great country!' THE CAUSE OF THE WAR FROM THE NASHVILLE WHIG. The e recent speech of Col. Benton, at mis. is eminently characteristic Df St. Lou its author, and will doubtless command "nnr m11 .fr, ktlnc m,r,ar.,l much of the public attention. What he j says with regard to his course on the Ore- J gon question is exceed nly well said, and being notoriously true, is well calculated to elevate him in public estimation. The whole speech, in fact, is in the author's best manner, and deserves to be univer sally read, as well as by those who may happen to differ from, as by those who may chance to agree with, the speaker. His remarks on the subject of the an nexation of Texas and the existing war with Mexico should be carefully read. To one passage, in particular, we desire to call the attention of our readers. It is as follows : "The treaty of annexation was rejected but annexation in another form was still prosecuted. A resolution for the ad mission of Texas as a Slate passed the House of Representatives ; an additional and alternative resolution was added in the Senate, to appoint commissioners to negotiate for admission, and to conciliate and reconcile Mexico, and thereby prevent the annexation lrom bringing on war. The expiring administration of Mr. Tyler I snatched the alternative from the" hands of the President elect hurried off the House resolution by a midnight messen ger slammed the door of conciliation in the face of Mexico and inflamed her pride and resentment to the highest de gree. From that lime forth every thing breathed war betweeu the two countries, which broke out the ensuing year. "Mr. B. said this was the history of the loss and gain of Texas, and its sequence, the war with Mexico' In a subsequent part of his speech he savs that "the rejection of the Senate's alternative resolution, and dispatch of the midnight messenger to Texas with the absolute resolution of admission, on the night of the 3d of March, 1845, by the Tyler Administration, "made the war." Now be this as it may, it will be easy to show that the entire responsibility of that proceeding does not rest with Mr. Cal houn and .the Tyler Administration. They did indeed make the selection be tween the two resolutions, and they "dis patched a messenger to Texas with the absolute resolution of admission, on the 3d of March. 1845. but Mr. Polk came immediately into power and had abundeut time to arrest the proceedings had he chosen to do so. The selection between the two resolutions, and the dispatch of the messenger with the one selected, was the work of the Tyler Administration ; but the presentation of the resolution thus selected to Texas for her acceptance, was executed by the express directions of Mr. Polk himself, as may be seen by reference to his annual message to Congress in De cember, 1845. In that message Mr. Polk - says : In pursuance of the joint resolution of Congress 'for annexing Texas to the L- nited States my predecessor, on the third day of March, 1845, elected to submit the tirst ana secona sections oi tnai resolution to the Republic of Texas, as an overture on the part of the United States for her admission as a State into-our Union. This election I approved; and according ly, the Charge d'Affaires of the United States in Texas, under instructions of the 10th of March, 1845, presented these sec tions of the resolutions for the acceptance of that Government.". lution of admission, and the dispatching of it for the acceptance of Texas, made ; sumate iL C7We know says the Louisville Jour nal, that Gen. Taylor condemned the Lo cofeco interference with the Tariff, tor we read his condemnation of it in his own hand writing in a letter to a friend and relative. 2Vew Orleans Illumination. iiC iLLWii, uu uie ioih ni., at New Orleans is represented bv the j journals of that city, as a most splendid i affair. Transparencies and scrolls were I nearly everv dwelling beinr in a hl.izp. We subjoin a rich incident of individual ! illumination, taken from the Delta. N. Y. Sun. Luke Lighthead was taken up for en deavoring to make a personal illumination of himself in St. Charles street. He stuck a little tin machiue, full of camphine '' 1 1 - . a in his shirt bosom, by wav of a breastpin, and had a couple of spermaceti candles in each of his vest pockets. Running into an Alley, he protested to the officer, that, he hadn't been doin' nothin. Yes you have, said the functionary. "You've been kieken' up a bobbery tryin' to set yourself on fire and keepiu' j e attention of the people away 1 1"uminal'on'' from the "it S 110 SUch thing. I gOt Up an Iilu- mination on my own hook, Charley it's patriotism. I 'I suit me, couldn't stand 1 it no longer the firm' of them cannon. and the blazin' of the lamps, and the gen- eral enthusiasm carried me right off my feet. Oh, if I was only the Saint Louis, or Hewitt's Exchange, a steamboat or e- ven a flatboat-anything that I could hang lamns on. I'd consider rnvsplf a m.ida man ? I'd nut a lantern on" my head, and hang a pair oi sconces on my ears ; I'd i drill a hole through my nose and carry a blazin' balloon by a piece of rope yarn ! Now, could you blame a feller for feelin' like a powder magazine just ready to blow up, about these times ! "There was all the names of the battle fields Paly Alto, Sarah Gordo, Monter- v Snniu Uicto ini U or-i I rT nil i fized off in blazin' letters of fire ; brighter ! than them that Daniel writ on the walls of old King Belshazzar's house. There was all the hotels sparklin', cracklin' and shi nen' with about forty million lamps ! Why Charley, .the whole city looked like a dyin' dolphin, or a great big Rainbow cut up as fine as mince meat. Could I stand it ? -No-sir-ee ! I 'hnuinated my self and paraded for the giory of my country, and solitary and alone made the splurge which has conferred eternal honor in my devoted head. Take the candles, Charley take one and ail-but don't tech the "sacred banner" though it is made into a bob-tail coat !" Luke's oratory had such an effect upon the watchman thut he was let go. The Washington correspondent of the Patriot writes as follows: The fact that the Administration is not only shamefully neglecting to reinforce Gen. Taylor whose volunteers are nearly all returning home, their time being up, but is studiously ne glecting to reply to his despatches, and thus leaving him in the dark as to its wishes aud intentions with regard to fu ture operations is becoming the constant theme of earnest discussion in all circles here ! What can it mean ? It is cur renfly stated that the secretary of War and the President caused the private let ter written by Gen. Taylor to General Gaines, and which the latter allowed to be published, injustice to its author, to be enclosed to Gen. Taylor with an in sulting demand to know whether he wrote it ; and that Old Rough and Ready promptly and frankly replied that he did write it, not intending it for the public eye ; but inasmuch as it had been pub lished, and was all true, he found nothing in its statement to strike out or alter ! those who were not pleased with its con tents might make the most of the matter. The letter from Geu. Taylor to the War Department, which the Administra tion has not seen fit to publish, will yet be apt to see the light, as well as the one he wrote to Gen. Scott in reply to the one informing him that the best half of his command was to be taken from him ! If not produced before, Congress will sift the matter thoroughly and bring forth that which Mr. Polk aims to conceal. C7The "Union" is guilty of a base and deliberate slander in charging Gen. Irvix with having voted for a tax on tea and coffee. He never voted for such a tax, a3 the journals of Congress will show. We have time and again exposed the falsiiy of this charge, and produced proof, clear, convincing, incontrovertible, and such as would convict a felon of horse btealing. to show that Gen. Irvin repeat edly spoke and voted against the impo sition of an unwise and unjust tax upon the poor man's articles of consumption. Should the "Union" reiterate this vile charge, they will do so knowing it to be a base slander upon an honest man.- emi. Intelligencer, The Washington Union conUins a long editorial on "the triumphs of war," which eulogises in the highest terms, Scott, Pat terson", Kearney, Yell, Harney, Price, &c but never mentiones Hardin, - M'Kee " or Clav, and does not ' contain even an ollttuon to the Heio of four of the great battles, Geu.

PICATCXE, MAT 27. We delay the press to announce the ar- r'Tal the Tsleamship Pa'metto, which sailed rom Vera ruz on lhe 22u instant. By this arrival we have letters from Mr. Kendall to the 21st instant from Jalapa, and we have also seen a private letter of the 19ih from Puebla. Gen. Worth entered Puebla on the af ternoon of the 15th, after a sharp skir mish with a party of lancers sent out to delay his advance. Santa Anna was in the city at the moment, but at once left, and pushed on towards the capital. It was reported that Gen. Valencia was ' between Puebla and the capital, at the j,ieaJ of fourteen thousand men, to resist our further advance, but this is doubtful, I The result of the Presidential election I was not known. Santa Anna, Elloriaga, and Herrera were candidates, among o- thers. ganta Anna is saiJ t0 nave ,la(1 a con- iiuerae iorce wnn mm wnen nc passed through Puebla variously estimated jfrom 15,000 to 30,000. It is shrewdly suspected that he intends to use this force to maintain his personal position and se cure the Presidency. Capt.

On his return ne nrM "Pon anu I'asseu .wiusmp man Pringle and five seamen were badlv wounded. Dr. Barto, Surgeon U. S. Army, has been appointed President of the Boajd of Health at Vera Cruz. A party of guerillas has been surpri sed and taken close to Vera Cruz fifteen in number. General Shields continues to improve slowly. Capt. Mason, of the Rifles, we are pained to learn, died on the 15th. EDITORIAL COR. OF THE PICATCXE. Jalapa, (Mexico,) Mat 15, '47. The order is out for the marching of Gen. Twigs division. It is to move on Tuesday towards Puebla, Gen. Scott ac companying it. A garrison remains be hind under Colonel Childs, composed of both regulars and volunteers, every way able to hold this position against any odds that the enemy may bring. There is no mistake that Gen. Scott's proclamation, which went directly home to every reflecting Mexican, is doing a great deal of good. Jalapa, Mat 18. From Santa Anna we have more posi- J live information. It is certain that he passed through Puebla, and with a force variously estimated from 15,000 to 30,000 1 men; the former number is doubtless nea- rer tne mart, some oi uie .Mexicans here say that he will make a stand some where between Puebla and the city of Mexico, and that he has three or four pie ces of cannon. Others believe that there will be one grand struggle at the ciiy of Mexico a last effort for the liberty of the Republic. Among the foreigners, again, there are those who believe that Santa Anna is only pushing on towards the capital to control the elections and help himself by force to the highest office: and that then he will come out in favor of pejee with the Uni ted States. Others, and among them those who pretend to great knowledge of the country and its public men, say that Santa Anna will never give up so long as he can draw around him a force sufficient to make any kind of show against "los Yankees" he himself always taking care to be in a position where he can save his own precious body in case of a reverse. I have thus given you all the various opinions afloat, and must leave it to wiser head to pick out which is the most rea sonable. Santa Anna's whole life has been one of ups and downs has been a riddle. After his disastrous defeat at Buena Vista all thought his power com pletely broken up, yet he was found a gaiu in full force at Cerro Gordo. There he met with the worst reverse of all, and every one supposed him completely anni hilated; yet we now know that he has collected another force arouud htm, that he is pushing for the capital, and it is fairly to be presumed that a man so full of expedient may yet give the American arms some trouble. Had Gen. Scott been in possession of the proper means on the eve of the battle of Cerro Gordo, the city of Mexico would at this moment have been under the American flag, aud very likely without the less of a man. He had not the proper means, aud the road may not now be found an open way. Gen. Scott, owing to. the non-arrival of a tram expected this morning, will not move for ttvo cr three days to come, Jalapa, May 19. We have some reports in relation to Gen. Worth's entrance into Puebla, al though as yet there is no official or posi tive information. A German, who arriv ed from tho city of Mexico last night, and who appears to be an intelligent man, says that when the advance of General Worth had reached a point a few miles this side of Puebla, on the 15th instant, Santa Anna was in the city distributing shoes to his soldiers; that, to delay the advanco of the Americans, he sent out a party to skirmish with them; that this party was attacked by Gen. W orth, dri ven into the city with the loss oi several killed and wounded, besides many horses; and that, so hotly were they pressed, Santa Anna was obliged to retire, without having time to shoe all his men. Such is the report, and it looks reasonable e nough, of the German. General Worth entered the city at 5 o'clock in the after noon of Saturday, the 15th. As the gen tleman left Puebla about that lime, he could not say whether Santa Anna was pursued or not. Four men belonging to the Army are ! to undergo most severe punishment this I afternoon; they are to receive thirty lashes each, in the Plaza; are to have their heads shaved, and, after the word "rob ber" is pasted on each of their backs, they are to be drummed ou of camp. Jalapa, May 20. We are still without further positive news of Gen. Worth, and it is now al most certain that his despatches are cut off. He would hardly enter so rich and populous a city as is Puebla without sen ding an official account of it to Gen. Scott at least such is the impression. The Mexicans here have news ' from the city of Mexico which we cannot get hold of, their own couriers doubdess run ning regularlv. One of them told me last night that fifteen battalions of the National Guard have been thoroughly or ganized at the eapiu.l; that fortifications are already in process of construction at or near Ri Fria: that the bells have been run up into cannon, and that the owners of an iron foundry at the city of Mexico, Englishmen, have been compelled to cast balls. on the promise of remuneration hereafter. Understand, distinctly, that I get oil this from a Mexican, and that it must be lukcn with allowances; but that there is now a prospect of a fight, and a hard one, is considered certain by many. To my thinking it will depend much up on the result of the election for President, news of which has not as yet reached the Americans here. If Herrera has been chosen, and there certainly was a party in his favor, it may be put down as a guaranty that peace measures will prevail. Oa the other hand, if Santa Anna has been elected, or a friend of his, the strug gle may be protracted, and another stand made this side of this capital. It is now certain that Santa Anna was not the city of Mexico to control the late election in person, although his approach with an armed force may have had some effect up on the States of Puebla and Mexico. The four individuals I spoke of yes terday as having been guilty of robbery received a portion of their sentence last evening and the rest this morning. A most disgraceful figure did they cut. Th?ir names were Henry Reed, Hugh Dn-ae, and Benj. Potter, of the 4th Ar tillery, and D. F. Revalou, of the 2nd Pennsylvania Volunteers. The latter was found guilty of horse-stealing; the three former of breaking twice into the house of the same Mexican, and, with threats and violence, robbing him of eve rything he possessed. Hard and degra ding as was their punishment, every one says it was deserved. Jalapa, May 21. Mr, Trist is still here, although the ob ject of his mission is kept a secret. In what capacity he comes whether as a commissioner of peace, as an agent to settle terms, or with whatever authority clothed the million are certainly none the wiser. In the language of Count Montalban, in the "Honey Moon," they look upon the whole affair as "A rhlJIe, Which he who solv'd the Sj'hynx's might dye guessing. I might give you a column of specula tion upon this mission, and very likely hit upon many truths m so doing, but have neither the time nor inclination at present to say more than that 1 believe that the hard blows of 10.000 regulars will have more effect in bringing these people to their senses than all the soft words an equal number of diplomats cculd shower upon them. The train that started up under escort of Captains Walker and Ruff arrived yesterday, and it is now said that an on ward movement to-morrow has been de cided upon. Besides Herrera, it is said that Elloria ga is talked of as a candidate for the Pre sidency. It may be recollected that the latter made a close run with Santa Anna for the same office at the late election. He bears an excellent character among the foreigners, and it is thought is in fa vor of peace with the United States. He is not a military man, and that is say ing a good deal for him. 11 o'clock, A. M. The stage is just in from Puebla, but I have little time to i collect and write off the news. All was quiet at Puebla, and the people appeared to be well enough satisfied uader General Worth. Santa Anna, it is said, did not stop at San Martin, but kept on toward the capital after his lancers had been de feated this side of Puebla by General Worth. There is a report that General Valencia, with 14,000 men, is to meet our arm this side of Mexico, but thcra are so many reports that we can maka little out of them. LATER FROM THE BRASOS. The brig Henry, from Brasos Santiago, arrived last night. Her news is not im portant. We learn from a gentleman who came passenger that Lieut. Col. Randolph, cf the Virginia regiment, on the 5th instant, captured forty of Canales's command at China. The health of the Army was good;, tho smallpox had nearly disappeared, and those who had the disease were but slightly afflicted. The 1st Mississippi regiment, under Col. Davis, was to have left Seralro on the 20th for the mouth of the Rio Grande. Col Davis was fast recovering from his wounds. The Graix Trade. The Rochester Democrat states that the quantity of flour weighed at the lock east of that city has been as follows : 1st week 140,804 bbls. 2d do 102,548 do 3d do 151,300 do 4th do 115,249 do Total 570,901 do The Buffalo Advertiser of Saturday places the grain and flour in store and afloat there as follows : 500,0043 bushels of wheat, (equal to 100,00 barrels of flour and 100,000 bushels of corn. At Milan, Ohio, for the week ending the 22d, the receipts of wheat were 100,000 bushels, equal to 20,000 barrels of flour. If we add the amount that has passed Rochester with the stocks at Buffalo and one weeks receipt at Milan, we shall have the o njwiin: Flour 575,901 bbls. 300,000 do 20,000 dj Rochester Buffalo Milan Total 895,971 do Not a day passes but confirmation is given to the opinion that the price of grain last year was not high enough to drain the interior of supplies. New Vork Ex' press. GEN. ZACHARY TAYLOR. A correspondent of the New York Spir it of the times says : "I saw a long letter of the old Gener al's, a few days since, eleven pages long. devoted to humanity and to every-day af fairs of life. It was a window to the old hero's soul, into which you could look. and read that his inmost thoughts were pure, brave, and disinterested. It was da- ted the 20th ol Jbebruary, and was evi dently concluded when the news reached him that Santa Anna was approaching The letter had been placed quietly in the portfolio the battle of Buena Vista was fought, and then in a postscript, dated the 20th, there was written : 'Santa Anna with twenty thousand men, has given us battle, and we have maintained our posi tion.' Is there in history a more sublimo record of an cnparcllelcd battle a more modest allusion to one of the greatest e venls that will appear in future history!" A son of Erin, having fished for some time unsuccessfully in Chesapeake Bay, was delermined to turn pilot, and boarded the first ship he saw for that purpose. He boldly ran aboard and offered his ser vices. "But arc yon sure you know the river !" said the skipper as Pat went to the helm. "Ay, ay starboard there," was the reply "now ease her a little ay, yer honor, I know every sand-bar, and channel, and rock 13 the ould bay" but at this instant, unfortunately for tho amateur pilot, bang went the vessel a gainst a rock, almost knocking down the skipper and Pat. But the latter, undis mayed, finished his sentence, with true Irish wit, every rock in the could bay, v er honor, and shure there's one of 'em." What the Army thinks or Gen. Taylor. Yesterday morning, says the Iouisville Journal, we had the pleasure of conversing with a highly respectable member of the Louisville Legion direct from New Orleans. He informed us that there is not in the Iegion a solitary man. hig or Democrat, but goes for General Taylor's election to the Presidency. Two millions of human beings, accord ing to the Dublin Nation, are destined to perish by this years famine in Ireland ! a population sufficient for a powerful State and wo-thirds of our own at the time of our revolutionary struggle. The mind shudders at the bare contemplation of the fact : what then must be the feelings of ths spectators cf the horrible calamity ?
