I.OGIVS VOW.
BT EDWARD J. PORTER.
It was not by the war-fire's light,
With bright flames upward wreathed
Into the cloudless sky of night.
My battie vow was breathed;
It was not while the warriors flew,
With scalp-locks flung on air,
The mazes of the war-dance through,
My spirit poured its prayer.
Nor while the battle's stormy strife
Shook the deep forests wide,
And tomahawk and scalping knife
Flashed in their gleaming pride.
Alone I stood, amidst the dead,
When the spirit of repose.
That long had clasped uiy heart, had fled
And vengeance waked her throes.
The dead were round me; yes, my own,
The beautiful, the young;
Their calm looks waked the anguished tone
From Logan's spirit wrung.
Then, only then, the wild flame woke,
And waved its schorching wings,
That, curbless in its frenzy, broke
My spirit's slumberings.
The silence of the midnight hour,
Unbroken by a sound,
Hung over aIL with spell-fraught power
Beneath its stillness bound;
1 stood, as stands the forest's pride,
When ali its leaves are strown,
Swept by the whirlwind wild and wide,
In desolation lone.
( hanged in an hour, the white man's friend
Gleamed in his war array ;
The league forever at an end,
And lighted hatred's ray :
Dark records traced by widow's tears,
And waitings sad and low,
Have borne wild tales to other years
Of Logan's vengeful vow.

OLD MOSES.
Mr. B. was a merchant in Baltimore,
and did a very heavy business, especially
in grain. One morning, as he was passing
over the vessels that lay at the wharf with
their various commodities for sale, he
stepped over the deck of one, at the stern
of which he saw a negro man sitting,
whose dejected countenance gave sure in
dication of distress; and he accosted him
with—
-4 Hey, man, what is the matter with
you this morning ?'
4 Ah, massa, l'se in great trouble.'
4 What about !*
• Kase Use fotcht up here to be sold.'
4 What for ? AVhat have you been do
ing ?
• Not much, massa.'
Have YOU been stealing, or did you run
avvav or what ?'
♦So, no, massa, none o' dat; it s be
cause i didn't mind the atides.'
♦ What kind of orders V
♦ Well, massa stranger, I tell you.—
Massa Wilium worry strick man, and
werrv nice man, too, and ebry body on de
place* got to mine him ; and 1 break trew
de rule ; but I didn't tend to break tie rule
doe ; 1 forget myself, and 1 got too high.
♦ It is for getting drunk then, is it ?
♦ O no, sah, not dat nother.'
♦ You are the strangest negro I have
een for a week. 1 can get no satisfaction
from vou. If you would not like to be
pitched overboard, you had better tell nie
what vou did.'
♦ Please, massa, don't frow de poor diet
ed nigger in de water.
♦Then tell me what you are to be sold
for.'
♦ For prayin, sah.'
♦ For praying ! that is a strange tale in
deed. Will your master not permit you
to pray V
♦ O yes, sah, lie let me pray easy, but I
hollers too loud.'
♦And why did you holler so loud in
your praver V
♦ Kase de Spirit comes on me, and I gets
happy fore 1 knows it, den 1 gone ; can't
trol myself den ; den 1 knows nutbin bout

And Moses stood up and presented a ro
bust frame ; and as Mr. B. stripped up his
IPlElijS"' l bljSTg) JXSyiS) IP'"'-" tknt e&ns^ ■■- & ■ -~*- .
w —__j 23 2B a niISWSffiITOWSTg
sleeve, his arm gave evidence of unusual
muscular strength.
* Where is your master V
4 Yander he is, jis com in to de wharf.'
As -Mr. B. started for the shore, he heard
i .Moses give a heavy sigh, followed by a
deep groan. Moses was not at all pleased
with the present phase of affairs, lie
was strongly impressed with the idea that
! B. was a trader and intended to buy him,
and it was this that made him so unwilling
to communicate to Mr. B. the desired in°
formation. .Mr. B. reached the wharf just
as Col. C. did. lie introduced himself
and said ;
' I understand you wish to sell that ne
gro man yonder on board the schooner.'
Col. C. replied that he did.
' What do you ask for him V
4 1 expect to get seven hundred dollars V
4 How old is he V
4 About thirty.'
4 Is he healthy ?*
4 Very ; he never had any sickness in
his life except one or two spells of the
! ague.'
4 Is he hearty V
4 A es, sir, he will eat as much as any
inan out, and it will do him as much
trood.'
4 Can he work ?'
4 Yes, sir, be is the best hand on mv
place. He is steady, honest and industri
ous. He has been my foreman for the
last ten years, and a more trusty negro 1
never knew.'
4 Why do you wish to sell him V
4 Because he disobeyed my orders. As
1 saitl, he is my foreman ; and that he
might be available at any time 1 might
want him, I built his quarter within a hun
dred yards of my own house, and 1 have
never rung the bell at any time in the
night or morning, that his horn did not
answer in live minutes after. But two
years ago he got religion, and commenced
what he terms family prayer—that is,
prayer in his quarter every night and
morning ; and when he began his prayer,
it was impossible to tell when it would
i stop, especially it (as he termed it) he got
i happy. Then he would sing and pray
and halloo for an hour or two together, that
you might hear him a mile off. And he
I would pray for me and my wife and chil
; dren, and all my brothers and sisters and
their children, and our whole family con
nection to the third generation ; and some
times, when we would have visiters, Mo
ses' prayer would interrupt the conversa
i lion and destroy the enjoyment of the
• whole company. The women would cry,
and the children would cry, and it would
send me almost frantic ; and even after I
had retired, it would sometimes be nearly
: daylight before I could go to sleep ; for it
i appeared to me that I could hear Moses
i pray three hours after he had finished. 1
bore it as long as 1 could, and then forbid
; him praying any more. Moses promised
j obedience, but lie soon transgressed ; and
; nty rule is never to whip, hut whenever a
negro proves incorrigible, 1 sell him. This
keeps them in better subjection, and is less
trouble than whipping. 1 pardoned Moses
' twice for praying so loud, but the third
i time 1 knew I must sell him, or every ne
gro on the farm would soon be perfectly
regardless of my orders.'
4 You spoke of Moses' quarter; 1 sup
pose from that he has a family.'
4 Yes, he has a woman and three chil
dren—or wife, 1 suppose he calls her now,
I for soon after lie got religion he asked tne
if they might get married, and 1 presume
they were.'
i 4 W hat will you take for her and the
j three children
4 If you want them for your own use,
I will take seven hundred dollars ; but 1
shall not sell Moses nor them to go out oi
: the State.'
♦ I wish them all for my own use, and
will give you the fourteen hundred dollars.'
Mr. 11. and Col. C. then went to B.'s
store, drew up the writings, and closed the
sale, after which they returned to the ves
sel; and Mr. B. approaching the negro,
who sat with his eyes fixed upon the deck,
seemingly wrapped in meditations of the
most awful foreboding, said—
• Well, Moses*, I have bought you.'
Moses made a very low bow, and every
muscle of his face worked with emotion
as he replied —
•Is you, massa f. Where is I gwine,
massa ? Is 1 gwine to Georgy V
4 No,' said Mr. I>. 'I am a merchant
' in the city here, and yonder is my store,
and 1 have purchased your wife and chil
dren, too, that you may not be separated.'
( 4 Bress God for dat ! And massa, kill 1
1 go to meeting sometimes ?'
' Yes, Moses, you can go to church three
times on the fSabbalh, and every night in
die week ; and you can pray as often as
you choose, and get as happy as you
choose ; and every time you pray, whether
i it be at home or at the church, I want you
to pray for me and my wife, and all my
children, and single-handed too; for if
\ou are a good man, your prayers will do
us no harm, and wc need them very much;
i and if you wish to, vou may pray for
everybody by the name of B. in the State
'of Maryland. It will not injure them.'
While Mr. B. was dealing out these
privileges to Moses, the negro's eyes
danced in their sockets, and his full heart
laughed right out with gladness, exposing
FRIDAY EVEXIKG, JANIADY 2, IS.V 2.
two rows of as even, clean ivories as any
African can boast, and his hearty response j
was, 4 * Bress God, bress God, all time, I
and bress you too, massa ! Moses neber
link about he gwine to have all dese com
modations, it make me tink about Joseph
in de Egypt.'
And after Moses had poured a few bles
sings on Col. C. bidding him a warm adieu,
and requesting him to give iiis love and
farewell to his mistress, the children and all
the servants, he followed B. to the store,
to enter on the functions of his new office.
The return of -the schooner brought to
Moses his wife and children.
Early the next spring, as Mr. B. was
standing at the store door, he saw a man
leap upon the wharf from the deck of a
vessel and walk hurriedly towards the
store. He soon recognised him as Col.
C. They exchanged salutations, and to
the Colonel's inquiry after Moses, Mr. B.
replied that he was up stairs measuring
grain, and invited him to walk up and see
hint. Soon Mr. B. s attention was arrest
ed by a very confused noise above, lie
listened, and heard an unusual shutllingof
feet, some one sobbing v iolently, and sonic
one talking very hurriedly ; and when he
reliected upon Col. C. s singular move
ments and the peculiar expression of his
countenance, iie became alarmed, and de
termined to go up and see what was trans
piring.
When lie reached the head of the stairs,
he was startled by seeing Moses in the
middle of the floor down upon one knee,
with his arms around the Colonel's waist,
and talking most rapidly, while the Colonel
stood weeping audibly. fSo soon as the
Colonel could sufficiently control his feel
ings, he told Mr. B. that lie had never
been able to free himself from the influ
ence of Moses' prayers, and that during
the past year he and his wife and ail lus
children hail been converted to God.
Moses responded : 4 Bress God, massa
C., do 1 way up hca, 1 neber forgot you
in my prayers—l always put the old mas
sa side de new one. Bress God ! dis
make Moses tink about Joseph in de
Egypt again.'
'Piie Colonel then stated to Mr. B. that
his object in coming to Baltimore was to
buy Moses and his family back again.
But Mr. B. assured him that was out of
the question, for iie could not part vvii.i
him ; and he intended to manumit Moses
and his wife at forty, and his children at
thirty-live years of age.
Muses was not far wrong in his refer
ence to Joseph. For when Joseph was
soid into Egypt, God overruled to ins
good, and he obtained blessings that were
far beyond ins expectations ! so with Mu
ses, who eventually proved the instru
ment of saving the man's soul who sulci
him.
Old Moses is still living and doing well.
He long since obtained ins freedom, and at
present occupies a comfortable house of
his own ; and 1 suppose sings and piavs
and shouts to his hearts content.
"Can lou Heath them Pcrtaters?*'
Several gentlemen of the Massachusetts
Legislature, dining at Boston hotel, one <>t
them asked Mr. M., a gentleman who sat
opposite—
•Can you reach them pertalers, sir
Mr. M. extended ins arm towards the
dish, and satisfied himself that he could
reach the • pcrtatcrs,' and answered—
' Yes, sir.'
The legislator was taken aback with
the unexpected rebuff from the wag; but
presently recovering himself, he asivt-d, —
'Will you stick my fork into one on
'ent, then V
Mr. M. took the. fork, and very cooly
plunged tt into a very finely cooked po
tatoe, and left it there? The company
roared, as they took the joke, and the vic
tim looked more foolish than before; but
suddenly an idea struck him, and, rising to
his feet, he exclaimed, with an air of con
scious triumph,—
•Now, Mr. M.. I will trouble you for
the fork.'
Mr. M. rose to his feet, and with tke
most imperturbable gravity, pulled the
fork out of the potatoe, and returned it,
amidst an unconquerable thunder-storm ol
laughter, to the utter discomfiture of the
gentleman from B .
The man who keeps four dogs, six cats,

economical ; he only drinks four glasses
of liquor a day ; his tobacco don't cost
him over §>s a year, and he always buvs

Philosophers say that shutting the eyes

Death of the Hon. J. R. Poinsett.
1 he death of the Hon. J. R. Poinsett,
of South Carolina, in his 73d year, is an
nounced in the Charleston Mercury. Mr. I
Poinsett was one of the distinguished men
of the South, and a strong Union man.
He was of French parentage, and educated
in Europe, over which he travelled exten
sively, and while at St. Petersburg was of
fered a place in the military service of the
Emperor of Russia. From Russia, in
Europe, Mr. Poinsett passed into Asiatic
Russia, Persia and Armenia, and the coun
try of Calmuc Tartary. While on an ex
cursion into the territory of the Khan of
Kouban, his life was placed in great jeo
pardy by a troop of Calmuc Tartars. In
I*l2, he was ofiered, by our government,
the mission to South America, to ascertain
correctly the state of the revolution which
had just occurred there. He was received
at Buenos Ayres with great distinction, and
made some important commercial arrange
ments with the Junta then in ollice. He
then crossed the Andes to Chili, where he
was also received with flattering welcome ;
but in Peru a different state of things led
to some acts against the United States,
among which was the capture of several
whale ships. He obtained from the
government of Chili the aid of a small
military force, of which he took the com
mand in person, and liberated the Ameri
can vessels.
On his return to South Carolina, Mr.
Poinsett was elected a member of the
House of Representatives of that State,
where lie originated the first system of in
ternal improvement in that State. In the
year 1821 lie was elected to Congress,
and took a prominent part in all the im
portant debates. In 1822, President .Mon
roe offered him the mission of Minister to
.Mexico, to ascertain the true situation of
the newly-established government. The
post of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary to that country was of
fered him in 1821. It was whilst on this
mission, that Mr. Poinsett's decision and
intrepidity of character was very strikingly
displayed in that gallant act in which he
covered the person of the widow of the
former viceray of Mexico, with the Ameri
can flag. Jn 1829, he was recalled bv
President Jackson,afterconcludinga treutv,
settling the boundaries between Mexico
and the I nited States, and negotiating a
treaty of commerce. He then retired to
private life in his native Slate; was subs -
qttently elected Stale Senator, and when
President Van Buren was at the head of
affairs, lie appointed Mr. Poinsett Sec
retary of War, where he served very ef
ficiently.

(iov. Kossuth In Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia papers of Thursday
are filled with accounts of the great Kos
suth reception in that city the day pre
vious. The streets, it seems, were crow
ded with military visitors and citizens
from the interior. Every hotel was filled.
—in a won! the furor to see and hear
the Hungarian Chief was equal in all re
spects to that exhibited by the people in
the Empire State on his first landing in
New A ork. Five Military Companies
lrorn Berks were in attendance, under the
command of Maj. MUHLENBERG; and nine
Companies from Schuylkill county —an
entire Regiment, commanded by Col.
WYNKOOI". These troops, numbering al
together from 800 to 1000 men, —were
favored with a free passage over the
Reading Railroad—an instance of liber
ality unequalled, we believe, by any similar
corporation in the commonwealth.
\v e glean from the Philadelphia papers
the main particulars and incidents of the
pageant;
Kossuth remained in New York on
Tuesday, in order to receive his letters
from Europe, by the steamer Baltic, as soon
as possible, which, in that present juncture,
were important. On Tuesday night, at 20
minutes past 1 1 o'clock, he left the residence
of Mayor Kingsland, where he had been
staying, and proceeded to Jersey City,
accompanied by John Price Wetherill, of
the Philadelphia fSelect Council. There
he entered a special train of cars, which
the Railroad Company had put in re
quisition lor the purpose, atul in company
with Col. Berzeuesky, L. R. Briesech,
and various gentlemen of New York and
Philadelphia, proceeded to Philadelphia.
At Newark, notwithstanding the lateness
of the hour, quite a body of people had
assembled, and, on the arrival of the train,
clamored loudly for Kossuth, but he was
asleep. At various points on the route
other demonstrations were made, and at
at 3 o'clock A. M. the train reached the
Kensington depot in Philadelphia, after a
run of three hours and five minutes.
Carriages, which were in waiting, con
veyed the party to the United States
Hotel, where apartments had been ele
gantly prepared for the reception of the
distinguished guest and his suite.—Thus
Kossuth entered the city quietly and with
out the knowledge of the people, many of
whom, expecting him to land from a
steamer at Brownings' Ferry during the
morning, gathered there in crowds to see
him.
The procession and ceremonies of re
ception, for which the city had been on
tiptoe of exciteniet lor several days, at
tracted great throngs of visitors from tiie
whole region adjacent to the city ; and
not a few even came from parts more dis
tant to get a sight of the great Magyar.
The inhabitants of the city were every
where on the qui vice, and the vast me
tropolis wore all the aspect of a holiday.
The main streets were filled with pedes
trians from an early hour in the morning.
The streets through which the proces
sion passed were gaily decorated with
flags, banners, &c., a description of which
would take up too much of our space.
The State House front was almost covered
with wreaths and stars of evergreen.—
From the roof of old Independence Hall
the Hungarian, American and Turkish
flags were thrown to the breeze, and the
ancient and venerated edifice looked gay
from centre to circumference.
The procession was very long and im
posing, and the display ot the military the
most magnificent ever witnessed in Phila
delphia. The city and county volunteers
were under the command of Maj. Gen.
PATTERSON. The volunteers from Rea
ding, Pottsville, and other places, were
commanded by Maj. Gen. WILLIAM 11.
KKIM, of Reading.
The Nation's Guest, Gov. Louis Kos
suth, was seated in a magnificent barouche,
drawn by six white horses appropriately
caparisoned. The first City Troop was
detailed as a Guard ol Honor.
The immediate vicinity of the illustrious
guest was densely crowded by moving
masses of citizens, and the cheering from
them was of the most enthusiastic order.
From the windows there waved hand
kerchiefs and silks containing all the col
ors of the kaleidoscope; wreaths and fes
toons of evergreens; and the scene along
the fronts of the houses, as the illustrious
guest made his appearance on the moving
panorama, was decidedly lively and in
teresting.
The North American says:
Kossuth's dress and appearance, as well
as that of his suite, attracted great atten
tion. The portraits of hitn convey no
adequate idea of the personal appearance
of the great Magyar. Deep penetration,
and all the requisites of statesmanship arc
forcibly impressed upon his countenance,
and there is about hitn the look, the as
pect, the bearing, and the dignity of the
Statesman.
lie and those of his companions not in
uniform, wear a large black ostrich feather
in the hat. The Hungarian dress, in
which they all appear, is strikingly pic
turesque, more, particularly that worn by
Kossuth himself.
A little after 2 o'clock the procession
reached the State House. Hero Kossuth
left his barouche, and amidst the roar oi

artillery and assembled thousands, was
ushered into old Independence Hall, where
he was formally* welcomed in an address
by Mayor Gilpin, to which he replied
briefly but eloquently. lie afterwards
addressed the people in the square, hut the
excitement was so great that* he was heard
with difficulty and spoke but a few miii
utes.
In the evening, an entertainment was
given by the City Councils in honor ot
the distinguished guest, at the United
States Motel, .Mayor Gilpin presiding.
Here, again, Kossuth made a short speech
in reply to a toast, but he was too ill to
say much. Other speeches were made,
among them one by Gen. Patterson,
which seems to have given considerable
offence to the military portion of the as
semblage.
Letter from Liberia.
The following letter, from an emigrant
from this country, gives some interesting
intelligence respecting Liberia :
11 ASS A COVE, LIBERIA, Oct. 5, 1851.
DEAR SIR :—I write to you a few lines
by the packet, to let you know that 1 have
not forgotten the kindness I recoi.td from
you and the Colonization Society, in pre
paring me for this land of liberty. 1
never shall forget the heart-felt thankful
ness due to the Society lor helping me and
my family here. We had one of the fin
est passages any one could have. Plenty
to eat—a good captain, and one that was
kind to all, in sickness and in health. All
hands were good to us. 1 have not wanted
to return once since I left the United
States. 1 was twelve days at Monrovia.
It is a fine to\vn j , the people are kind and
doing well. I think this is a much better
place for new-beginners. I had the Afri
can fever; myself and wife took it on the
same day ; we had it about fourteen days ;
the doctor says we are over it, though we
are very weak ; but it is not so bad as I
expected. Mr. Benson is preparing a
house ot Cresson for me. It is a line loca
tion for a town —the best one I have seen.
I shall be the first one there. I look for
more by the September vessel. 1 shall
feel lonely for some time, until more ar
rive. The natives are as poor a kind of
people as you need want to see.
1 look for the rest of the Columbia peo
ple out soon, and their friends from Head
ing. Tell them this is the best country
by far.
There is, and can be plenty of every
thing raised here. The climate is tine and
the land productive. Sweet potatoes of
the finest quality, and as good as produced
in New Jersey ; rice, sugar, colfee. I
will send you some as soon as I can get
about. 1 wish you would come out in the
packet; you need not fear the fever. 1
want you to see the finest country you
ever saw. Cows, sheep, goats, chickens
and hogs are plenty. I helped to kill a
hog since I came here, and saw it salted
and smoked nearly as good as in Pennsyl
vania. It is cool here. I can and do
wear two cloth coats. 1 have not felt a
warm day since 1 let! Baltimore. I think,
all the colored people that can take care of
themselves in America had better come
here, for this is the place where they will
do well. All they need is a small start ;
and above all, he is a freeman from the
highest to the lowest. If I were seventy
\ ears of and knew as much as [now
know, I would came to Liberia and be a
man, and no longer a nigger. 1 shall
write more when 1 see more ; I only write
what I see and feel.
1 am trulv yours,
LEONARD A. WILLIAMS.
Liberia is undoubtedly the most fitting
place for the colored race, and all who can
go, ought to go there.
The Jacksonville Journal says, it may
not be generally known that caster oil is
