' "When tearless, it can speak of wo; "When weeping still the same; Or in a moment catch the glow Of thoughts without a name. Can beam with pity on the poor With anger on the proud; Can tell that it will much endure, Or flash upon the crowd! Now brightly raised, or now depressed With every shade of feeling It is the mirror of the breast The thought, the soul revealing ! Oh ! tones'are false, and words are weak The tutored slaves at call; The eye, the eye alone can speak, Unfettered, tell us all ! Dick Trot and Ills Yankee Clock. "Well, sir," said Dick to me one day, "about five yea r3 or better ago, I bought a wooden clock from a Yankee pedlar nam- ed Tom Jones, who used to travel through this country, droppin' one at almost eve ry, house. - 'T was the last one he had, and I paid him fifteen dolbrs for it. She was a perfect goer of a clock and then such a beauty! Her little, squatty, dum py fi gu r' dressed out in her painted case, just filled my eye exactly to a gnat's heel. I sot her on the racntle shelf, so I might allers see her. Her little penjun would swing back'ards and for'ards pickin' at a preper rate. Thar she'd roll it, pickin' day after day, and week after week, dead bent on keepin up with the sun, and de termined that nary time piece in the set tlement should get ahead of her. She'd dig at the hours, never stoppin' to catch breath, butjist firin' away in admirable style. I'd wind her up of nights, and then go to bed, puttin' every confidence in her, and bein' perfecily satisfied that she'd do her duly faithfully, although I wasn't watchin' her, and wouldn't allow the sun to be up before she'd put her hand to the hour for sunrise. And, then, sir, when I'd be restless and couldn't sleep, or when I was sick, then what company she was to me. To be shure, she couldn't talk to me jistcall me by name that's all. Though sometimes she'd say Dick,' so plain I'd look up at her, and almost ex 'pect her to lead off a regular built chat. -Well, sir, she coutiuued lobe good for five years, and my heart's delight.' In ' fact, I may say that she hilt no longer than that, but 'twas about that time she be gun monstrously to exemlle old Dave Wilson's wife you know how she was?" 'Can't say I do, exactly." "Why, sir, I thought you know'd. Old Dave used to say that his wife was a charmin' eretur; one of the best of wo men; that he didn' believe from old Mo ther Eve down to the present generation, a better woman ever throwed a petticoat over" her head. To be sure, he said she had her ways; (here Dick snutlled an imi tation cf old Dave, whom I knew very well;) she would have her ways and such ways she did have ! Well, sir, my clock got" to be the same way; some of her works got outen fix; and for spite she done as she blambed pleased. Strike! yes, sir, she did, like all dignation ! She d take a notion to bugle off sometimes, and ring in on them wires one hundred and fifty times. At first I was tickled at it. and would set and laugh at her for bein' such a fool as to be cuttin' up them ex trays, what didn't hurt nobody but her self. But at lust I begun to get tired of suc h foolery. It seemed to me, whenev er I had a tough job before me, and want ed to study it out, or when I was right sleepy, then she'd pick her chance to come them big licks. I put up with it a long time: didn't do nothing to her; and lhort by letting her have her fun out, she might get tired of it herself, after awhile. -But she didn't; she still hilt on stouter 'an ;ever. On last Saturday, I went up here to muster, an as I allcrs have done on such occasions, tuck ray the r too much of the tech-me-Iightly. When I got hum, I thort the best place for me was in bed - so, to sleep off the boozy, I pu!!s off and .gets in bed, but no sooner did my head iech the pillar than up starts the clock ch-r-r-ring. I determined to nut a ston to any such capers that night. I got up I loaded my old musket, tuck a cheer and I . tct down right atore her. "Now. old lady," sez I, "yer aiter the tpitc game agin, ate ye? Jist go on cf ye like it; but dar' to strike a hundred this time, and ding me ef ye don't ketch it! My threats didn't skcer her one bit; she struck away, 'peared like livlier than ; ever. She went so pearly, she soon got up to ninety ninety one two three -four five 6ix "I see yegwyin' it,' scz I, and I cocks the old musket dv-r-r-ring I puts it to my shoulder j rn-r-r-nug i takes my nghi cli-r-r-rmg . I lavs my -finger on the trigger - j c h-r-r-ring, scz she stouter than ever, and , mi starving wnh another rh-r-r when I flames away, and in half a seckin' finds myself flat on my back,-in the middle of the floor. - . '. As I picked myself up, I heard the old lady still gain' it; and darn me, if she didn't strike fifty times more, although twenty-five buckshot took effect all among her countenance, and both of her hands were taken smooth off. I han't wound her up sence: for with the pluck'she's got, there's no knowin' what she might do ef she had a chance. She's without excep tion the best game I ever seed." Moral. Although it raav be weir to "take time by the forelock," yet it would be better not to do so rashly. From the National Intelligencer. Editors' Correspondence. We were thrown quite into x flutter yesterday by receiving in our bag from the Post Office the following letters from the Public's old friend Major Jack Dow ning, who seems to have written it to us for the purpose of communicating to the Public, in his plain way, some views of President Polk I'ounz Hickory, as he delights to call him which that distin guished functionary had not thought neces sary to confide to his most confidential friends before he met with the Major. On board the Steamboat on Long Island Sound, bound to Connecticut and Dewn East, June28, 1847. Mr. Gales & Seaton : My Dear old Friends : I and Mr. Buchanan and the rest of us overtook the President last night at York, where we found him prety well tuckered out, hav ing got througli with all his birds-egging in that everlastin ' great city, andjready to push on this morning down East. I was going to write a line to friend Richie, as he's the Government Editor, as soon as I could ketch up with the President, and let him know how the old gentleman stood the journey. But I happened to look into your paper, and I see brother Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, sends his let ters to you. This puzzled me a little at first, because I knew, he was on Mr. Richie's side." But I looked along, and I see he called your paper a "powerful jour nal ;" and then the thought struck me that I had read somewhere that "there's a power behind the throne greater than the throne itself." Well, thinks I, that In gersoll is a cunning feller, but he ain't going to get ahead of me. If hewrites to the power behind the throne, I will .too. So if Mr. Richie complains, and says I ought to wrote to him, I wish you would just smooth it over to him, and tell him when the old ship gets on 'tother track, and his paper gets on behind, I'll write to him. . As I had come right on from Mexico the shortest cut, and had brought a letter from Gineral Scott to the President, as soon as we got to York I run right up to the tavern where he stopped to give him ihe letter. Folks told mc. he was at the Astor House that great tavern made out of hewed stone. So I went up, and went in, and asked one of the waiters if Colonel Polk put up there t "Is it Jemmy Polk ye mane ; Young Hickory, the President I" says he. "Sartin," says I. "Yes," says he, "he's here ; up stairs in his room." Says I, "Show me his chamber as quick as you can ; I must see him." "You can't see him to-night," says he; "Yor.ng Hickorv is tired out, and can't see nobodv at all at all. Wrhy wasn't ve on hand in the Governor's room if ye wanted to see him ? All the boys had a chance there." Says I, "that's nothing to the pint ; I was on the road from Washington then, and I'm going to see the Prcsidenfto-night if I have to go through the stone walls ol this house for it." Then along came Mr. Stulson: and says he. "Patrick, what's Ihe row here ?" "Here's a feller getting wrathy," says Patrick, "because I won't let him go up to the President's room." At that Mr. Stutson turned round to me, and, as soon as he see me, he ketched hold of my hand, and, says he, "Major Downing, I am very happy to see youJ- I'll show you right up to the President's room myself. I'm sorry you wasn't here before. We've had some very pleasant tea-parties since the President's been here." . . : When I got into the President's cham ber he wa3 laying down on the bed to rest, and looking as tired as a rat that had been drawed through forty knot-holes. But, as soon as he see me, he jumped up, looking rather wild, and says he, "Major Downing, how are ye ? I did'nt think of seeing you back from Mexico as soon as this. How does things go on there now!";. ' ' -. ; 1 Says I, "Colonel, they' don't "go on hardly at all. .They are waiting for more help. Scott and Taylor boih are grow ing rather red and angry to ihink yoii should chuck 'em away into the middle of Mexico there and then not , send 'era help to fight the way out again. And it seems to me. Colonel, vou do hold back in this business a little too much. ;f If you donl send 'cm help pretty, soon, them guerillas will est our Uttfeanni..all "Why, Colonel" says I, "if this war had come on in the time of the old Gmeral, my oiu menu memory, ne would a nan them Mexicans half whipped to death by this time. But here's a letter from Scott, to tell ye what he thinks about the busi ness. I come on post-haste to bring it. He says he won't stir from Puebla till you send on more men to take the place of all them that's coming home." . The President took the letter and read a few lines, and threw it down upon the table ; and, says he, "It's no use ; Scott may grumble and growl as much as he's a mind to. but it's no use. This war is a concern of my own getting up, for my own use, and I shall manage it jest as I please." Says he, "Major Downing, there's reason in all things. I don't want them Mexicans whipped too last, especial ly when them upstart Generals gel all the glory of it. When I found Taylor was swellin up too large, I meant to a stopped him at Monterey and draw off a part of his glory on to Scott. But that Taylor is a headstrong chap, a dangerous man. He overstepped his duty and blundered on to that victory at Bueua Vista, that sot every thing all in a blaze. I shan't over look it in him very soou. If the selfish creature had only let Santa Anna given him a handsome licking there, we might a had peace in a little while, for I had things all arranged with Santa Anna to wind the business right up in such a way that we mifrht each of us have made a handsome plume out of it. But that un- pardonable Taylor must cut and slash a- round with his handful of men, untutored voluuteers, that I thought were as harm- less as a flock of sheep, and contrive, by that awful blunder at Buena Vista, to pour all the fact into the fire. "Well, then, Scott has'nt behaved much better. He's licked the Mexicans too fast by a great sight, and is swellin himself up in the eyes of the people shamefully. I thought if I could a sent Col. Benton on there, lie would a squeezed the glory out of both of 'em in a little whifc, and settled 'cm down so they would'nt a been dangerous. But that vagabond Senate would'nt let me do it. That was too bad, Major, when them two Generals were attracting all the glory that belonged to me, that the Senate would'nt let mc do any thing to offset them. But I'll let 'era know that Young Hickory is'ntto be beat any more than Old Hick ory was. I've sent Mr. Trist on to look after matters, and to see that the armies dont go too fast ; for I'm determined Scott and Taylor shan't whip the Mexicans any faster than is prudent. All the glory ihat's to come out of this war fairly be longs to me, and I'll have it." "But," says I, "Colonel, you are a go ing to send on more men, ain't you ? Or what are you going to do ? How are you going to wind the business up ? SaA s he, I'm too tired to talk over my plans to-night. But there's no need of your going right back to Mexico yet. Mr. Trist is there, and I can trust him to look after matters, and you better jump into the boat with us in the morning and take a trip down East, and we can talk the subject over at our leisure." . About five o'clock in the morning the President rattled away at my door and waked me out of a sound sleep; and, when he found I was'ntup, says he, "Major you must be spry, or you'll be too late, for we're off at six." I was up and dressed about the quick est, a:ul went out, and fact, there was a quarter of a mile of soldiers, all ready to escort us to the boat. And down we went, through whole streets full of men and women, and boys and gals, of all sorts and sizes, some running and crowding, and some hollering and hurrahing, and in a few minutes we were aboard the steam boat, and the bell rung, and the steamer pufled, and off we went on the Sound to wards Connecticut. , The President had a little room all to himself, and he made me go right in with him, and he sot down in an easy chair, and put his feet upon another, and says he, "Major, I'm glad to get out of the crowd again ; we'll take a few hours of rest and comfort on this voyage. This being President, Major, is mighty hard work ; but after all, I : like it. I've had a glorious time of it in New York. Every body was runningafter me, and it seems as though I had seen every thing. I feel as though I had lived through a whole year in these three days, and I don't be lieve any body ever received . more hon ors in so short a space of time in this country." . , ; "Well," says I, "Colonel, it seems to me a pity you told the folks at Baltimore the other day that you should retire when this term was up. You might go two terms, as Old Hickory did, jest as well as not. you are so popular." At that he gave me a tuck in the ribs and a sly wink, and says he, "Major, dont you understand that ? Telling of 'em I should'nt stand another; term is jest the right way to make 'era more fierce to have me. . Don't, you know Anthony said Cesar refused the crown three limes jest so as to be more sure, of having it placed on his head ? And jest see how Santa Anna is working it now in Mexico.

But since I got along to New Yoik, , things seem to look brighter. I'm popular, Major : I know I am. I shonld'nt be surprised if the Whigs made a demonstration in my favor yet. They seemed very fond of me in New York ; and so did every body, every body you could mention ; even the market-women "took me by the hand and called me young Hickory, and gave mc lots of fruit. There, do you see that pineapple on the table there ?" says he. "That was given me at the Fultan marke as we were going over to Brooklyn on Saturday. Cutaway, Major, and help yourself to it ; it's a nice one. And here's a paper of most excellent tobacco," says he, "that was presented to me at the same time.

FROM MEXICO, INTERESTING FROM MEXICO. FROM THE X. O. PICAYUNE OF JCXE 25. The steamship Palmetto arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, having sailed on the 18'.h instant. " ' Although we are not in possession of letters from Mr. Kendall, we have advices upon which we place every reliance as to the movements of Gen. Scott. An: ex press from Puebla, by the route of Cor dova, had arrived at Vera Cruz, announ cing "that Gen. Scott commeuced his march upon the city of Mexico on the lGth instant. " We hear not a word more in regard to the overtures for peace said to have been made to Gen. Scott. That he marched on the JGth we have no doubt. . - Another express had arrived at Vera Cruz from Jalapa, which announced that all the sick had left there on the 1 5th inst for Perote, under a small escort. Col. Childs was to leave the following day with all the garrison. Gen. Shields would accompany him. The road between Ja lapa and Puebla is represented as free j from guerilla parties of any kind. j About one thousand troops left Vera i Cruz on the 17th instant, under the com mand of Major Gen. Pillow, to join the army of Gen. Scott. By the express from Jalapa we have no j intelligence of Gen. CadwaUder, as the j rider came by a circuitous route to avoid the predatory parties on the road. By tliis arrival we have received pa pers from the city )f Mexico of the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th of June. Our previous files camn down to the 29th nl M;jv. The intermediate dates we have not vet re-1 ceived. W e have only had time to glance hastily at the papers before us, from ; which we flean the followinor; Santa Anna still remains in power. His resignation, we presume, was wilh- drawn ; for it is intimated that a majoritv of Congress was anxious to accept it. ! His administration, inconsequence of this feeling in Congress, has entirely changed its policy, and thrown itself into the arms j ofthewwros. One great section of the puros, however, is not conciliated oy tins movement ; the adherents of Gomez and - - t Gen. Almonte still continue their opposi- tion to the Administration. Senor Rejon, ' the former friend of Farias, is said to be j the main support of Santa Anna's admin- istiation, although he holds no public of-1 fice. He is denounced as a man wilhout principle, a trucklef, &e. j It is represented that opinions were j never more divided in the capital than at J present. N o party seems to have decided upon what course to take. At one time the puros and the moderados appear in clined to unite upon a dissolution of Con gress, and leave every thing in the hands of Santa Anna ; and then again the puros talk of recalling the absent members of their party, and of having a working ma joritv to carry their measures. In the mean time a quorum oi Congress cannot ne cuuecwa. ji we can give no imejugi- bit account cf thi design: cf parties : and the Government, it is because such confu- sion and anarchy never belore existed in t me cuy 01 .uexico, oy uie auunssion 01 all.

The Government is urged by letters from Puebla and its vicinity to fall upon Scott, now he is weak, and crush him. Thev sav he has really but a little over 5,000 men, though he pretends to have 7,000. They seem to dread lest Gen. Taylor should proceed to join Gen. Scott. The propositions which Mr. Inst is authorized lo make are said by the Mex icons to be that each Republic shall name ihree commissioners to discuss the claims of the United States, and that, if Mexico will not consent to this, then the war is to be prosecuted.' We find in the Republicano of the 7th instant a long despatch from the Secretary of War to Gen. Scott, dated the 30th of April. It informs him that, by the end of June, the President supposes Gen. Scott will have twenty and (Jen. Taylor ten thousand men under their respective com mand. It asks for the views of Gen. Scott on various questions suggested, and gives him dircc:icns how to operate with disaf fected Mexican States. The Republicano regards this latter portion as very im portant, but pronounces the Secretary's representations as to the number of troops to be in the field utterly false. How this letter was intercepted we are not informed. On the afternoon of the Cth instant San- ' ta Anna reviewed at Tcalpan the troops from the South ol Mexico, under Alvarez. This General's command had not all ar rived, but it was expected to reach 8,000 men in a few days. j Gen.

From the Vera Cruz newspaper called the Sol de Anuhunc of the 17th ultimo the New Orleans Times gleans the fol lowing information relative to the com- munication from Vera Cruz with the in-' terior : "The communications with the interior are entirely cut off, and consequently the" news received from the places beyond the line occuoied by the American forces, as well as well as those within the line which ought to be in constant connexion with ihis place, is extremely meager. m r 1 he cause ol this insulated state appears to be exclusively the great fears enter tained on account of the numerous guer rilla parties which traverse the roads.
