THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER. BY FRANCIS D. CAGE. “ ’Tis the last rose of summer —left blooming alone, All its lovely companions are faded and gone,, No flower of its kindred, no rose-bud is nigh To reflect back its blushes, or give sigh for sigh.” Moore. ’Tis the last rose of 3ummer —Oil! let it remain, Oh I still let its sweetness enliven the plain, Oh ! rob it not yet of its beauty and bloom. Full soon it will wither and sink to the tomb'. I will wreathe round it kindly the leaves of the stem. That the winds may not visit too roughly the gem ; 1 will watch its bright leaves ’till they wither and droop, And when they are fallen I will gather them up. And Oh ! should my fate, lovely rose, be like thine, Should the storms of affliction that around me now twine, The bright links ot kindred be broke one by one, ’Till the last of the loved ones is severed and gone — ‘Oh 1 then may the world view with pity my fate, Nor add to the soreow it cannot abate, But may kindness and feeling assuage all my woes, ’Till I calmly and quietly fall like the rose. The First Siewspapcr. It is somewhat remarkable that the newspaper press, powerful element as it is in modern civiliza tion, is scarcely two centuries old. It is equally remarkable that a means of instruction and amuse ment so apparent should not have been established until nearly two hundred years ifier the discovery of printing! The common belief that the first En glish newspaper was published in 1588, to announce the deteat of the Spanish Armada, is now' known to be a popular error, the printed sheet in the British Museum, culled the English Mercuric and dated in that year,-having been proved a forgery of a centu ry later in date. The originator of the mistake was Mr. Chalmers, who,- in his life of Rudiman, entered into the history of newspapers. He had seen the broad sheet in the Museum, and, accepting it for what it pretended to be, had announced it as the first English newspaper. Nichols D israeli and oth er writers, followed Chalmers, without inquiry, and from these authors the error crept into the Encyclo psedias, and all the books of the day in which news papers were discussed. Few assertion are now perhaps so generally believed as that the English Mercurie was the first English newspaper. The detection of the error we owe to the bibliographer, Mr. Watts, of the British Museum, who, having oc casion to examine the Mercuric, saw at once that the type and paper were of comparatively modern origin—an opinion which had been confirmed by every subsequent examination, and it has been freely scrutinized by capable judges since. The first newspaper was issued towards the close of the reign of James the First, and was published in Londonliy a man named Butter. This individual had been a hired letter writer, in the pay of numer ous country gentlemen—his business being to pick up the news of London and send a written sheet ol it weekly to his employers. The thought finally struck him that he might serve his customers more quickly, and enlarge his business indefinitely, by printing instead of writing his sheets. At first, however, the enterprise met little encouragement. The English are not a people fond of innovations, N and the old manuscript letter sheets were generally preferred. Butter's paper was laughed at by the wits and ill supported by the public. Ben Johnson in this comedy, “The Staple of News," made the new journal the butt of his ridicule. Finally, however, the invention became Better appreciated, and newspapers increased in size, merit, and num bers; and so late .as the beginning of the last cen tury the written news letter was still in existence, the delight of antiquated country gentlemen, who worshiped it as a relic of “ the good old times. 1 ’ — In 170\the first morning paper appeared in Lon don, discussion was combined with news, for heretofore the journals had confined themselves entirely lo the mere narration of events, and those chiefly foreign. Indeed more than one editor had been severely punished for printing news about the government'; and so late as 1710 a lad of nineteen was hung for publishing an article against heredi tary right Prior to the issue of -Butter’s journal, there had been various gazettes, as they were called, publish ed in different countries in Europe; and there is a popular-impression that these were newspapers.— ( But such is not the fact. The gazettes were mere ly occasional broad sheets, or pamphlets, published after some important event, as a proclamation is now published. They were not at all permanent, , much less periodical in their nature, two important qualities requisite for a real newspaper. Nor was ' it until the age Of Addison, Steele and Swift—as we said—•;hat journals began to assume their pres ent influential position. When these great writers, however, entered the list as regular contributors to the newspapers, and were followed by Bolingbroke, and in a later age by Junius, the public press at once took a lofty position, and one which it has since maintained, and even increased. In England, howfever, to this day, the newspaper has less influ ence than Ip either France or the United States. In this free country it is really the great parliament of the nation, where all important subjects are dis cussed, and virtually decided. Congress is, in fact, but the formal mouth-piece of the press, or, to speak more definitely, of the people controlled by the press. The day will come when to be a member of this fraternity will be a higher honor than to be a leg islator, and it is even now a more influential posi tion. Long livegjhe. press. —Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. J. Porter Brawley. The venomous assaults upon this gentleman by the entire Galphin press, says the Venango Specta tor, have made his name the most conspicuous up on the Democratic ticket. Notwithstanding these brutal and scurrilous insinuations, in which Whig editors especially delight, Mr. Beawley will re ceive the support of the true and regular Democra cy of the State. Personal abuse, even when found ed on facts, generally fails of accomplishing the end desired, but when, as in’the case of Mr. 8., it is ut terly at variance with the truth, it can have no other effect than to make old friends cling closer, and endear him to the party of which he is an hon orable and consistent member. Such is the philos ophy of blackguardism. There'is no doubt whatever of Mr. Beawlex's election, despite the personal abuse levelled at him by Galphin presses and speakers. His competency is undoubted—his integrity well known, and his consistency as a Democrat unquestionable. These qualifications have sustained him heretofore—they will -sustain him in the ordeal that is to come.

D n Professor of Chemistry, Pennsylvania Medical College , Philadelphia , Pa. Although I have spoken of the cloud descending to the surface of-the earth, I have merely described the circumstance as it. appears.to the eye. The cloud does not sink as it appears to do, and as it is stated in works-on Meteorology. From what has been said, the explanation of the formation of this inverted cone or udder projecting from the original base of the cloud, may be anticipated. As the bar ometer continues to sink under the base of the cloud, the temperature of the air diminishes until it is re duced down to the dew point ia the whole extent of the column from the base of the cloud down to the surface of the earth. At the same time the temperature of the air all around on the outside of; the column, is, according to what I have assumed, ten degrees higher than the dew point, and consc-. quently as soon as the air outside is driven within the column it*is. instantly cooled ten degrees, and its excess of gaseous vapor is condensed into cloud 't the moment of its ingress. Thus, instead ol the base ot the cloud sinking down and forming the udder, the latter is caused by the accumulation of additional vapor under the base, brought in by the surrounding air and condensed by the cooling power of the column. The levity of these dense clouds, and the upward motion of the air, are strongly exemplified by the tornado and waterspout. They are always seen to descend from a black cloud, sometimes with a ve locity of half a mile in two seconds. Now, as Pro lessor Espy observes, this velocity precludes the possibility of this visible spout having fallen by gravity; for, in that time, if its gravity were ten thousand times greater than it is, it could not ■all more than sixty-two feet in two seconds.— Besides, if the cloud were very heavy and de scended, the necessary consequences would be -that trees, barns, houses, &c., would be crushed by its immense weight, and their fragments would be left upon the ground where they before stood. But every fact connected with the phenomena of such storms not only disproves such a result, but also;, the idea of mere horizontal centrifugal force , as advo cared by a certain celebrated Meteorologist. At the very moment the cloud appears to be sinking lower and lower, the up moving current is becom ing stronger and stronger, and its velocity and force are soon exhibited by the rapidity with which heavy bodies ascend. If the cloud pressed downwards, and there were no other forces except the centrifugal, why do the leaves and trees fly up? Why do the roofs fly up, and the walls of buildings fly apart as if by explo sion? Why are shingles and other light bodips carried twenty and thirty miles off) and then de scend in a hail storm ? And why are hailstones frequently picked up, containing particles of sand and other matter imbedded within them ? These things are all satisfactorily explained by Professor Espy's theory. Indeed the great beauty of this theory is that it is a philosophical deduction Irom existing facts, and is based upon weli-estab lished principles of science. He has nothing to do with conjecture; he assumes no hypothesis; he be gins, goes on and ends in facts, demonstrating their truth as he proceeds, and explaining the laws which govern them. A theory thus founded, must be cor rect in all its essential features, even should some of the minor phenomena be misinterpreted. A Romance in Indian Life.— A cor respondent of the Picayune, writing from Madison ville, La., relates the following incident in Indian life:— A large number of Choctaw Indians still reside in the neighborhood, and as I gazed on a group of young squaws, some of whom had really beautiful features, and seemed to pride themselves on the dis play of their Indian dresses and ornaments, I could not help thinking that if they were educated and dressed tor a ball room, they would vie with many a pale faced beauty. Madisonville was the termi nus of the military road ordered to be cut from Tennessee by General Jackson, during the last war with England. This road was afterwards used by flat boatmen, who having descended the Ohio and Mississippi, and sold their boats and produce would cross the lake on a sloop or schooner to this place, and then travel home on foot. In those times it frequently took a vessel between two and three days to make a trip, when it is now made in nearly as many hours. The continuation ot parts of this road through Mississippi still exists, and is known by the name of the ,k oid Natchez trace.” There has been many a story told of the roman tic adventures of the flat-boatmen in their travels through the “ wildernes,'* as it was then called.— On the disoanding of the volunteers after the bat tle of New Orleans, this road became infested with robbers, who sought the flat-boatmen as their prey, arid the road became very dangerous to travel, ex cept in large parties. A young boatman who had realized a large profit on his produce, was return ing home on one occasion by this road, when he was severely wounded by a rifle ball, rhbbed of all hisAioney, and left for dead. He was found by a young Indian girl of exquisite beauty, the daughter of a chief who owned’a large tract of land in Mis sissippi. The girl perceiving some signs of tife, ran to fetch some water, which she gave him to drink, and then dragging him into a thicket, went to the camp and obtained two of her tribe to bring in the wounded man. His wound was dressed, and the Indian girl attended him, and watched over him from day to day, until he recovered. During his illness, the young boatman observed that the Indian girl watched him with deep interest, and his gratitude soon deepened into love. He made her his bride, and the old chief gave to him his daughter s share of the land, which he soon turned into a plantation, and civilized his wife. Though the old chief relused to live with him, he frequent ly came to see them and their children, and as the country gradually became settled, the Indian wife of the white man was long acknowledged to be the most beautiful and dignified lady in that section of the State. An Eloquent Extract* The admission of California, following close upon the heels of the passage of the -other peace mea sures through Congress, is thus eloquently alluded to by the New York Herald: “ The crisis of the republic is passed 1 The great question is settled. Fanaticism is rebuked, and the scathed demagogues of all parties’ will slink back to their, kennels. Those despicable humbugs which so long arrested the progress of legislation in Con gress, and filled the nation with alarm, ure exploded, and their authors will go with them to the sleep that knows no waking. The ghostly fiend of dis union is laid, and ‘dll the clouds which lowered around our house’ are buried in the deep bosom ol oblivion. The national vessel, which so long lay struggling with the storm, has at last reached her port in safety, freighted with the dearest hopes of mankind for freedom. The. great experiment has not failed; and the weary and disheartened millions of the old continents may gaze, through a cloudless sky, upon the world-inspiring spectacle ol the firm and triumphant march of our empire. California has been, by an overwhelming majority, greeted as a sister State. Her golden star rose clear from the Western ocean, and calmly took its place in the grand constellation. Saturday, the marriage of the Atlantic and Pacific was celebrated and as the lightning had flashed the glorious intelligence, all over the continent, from ten thousand Christian temples, rscriptions of praise and gratitude were offered by millions of the American people, to the Protector of the Republic. Such a spectacle re minds us of the days of the Roman republic, when after the discovery and the defeat of the conspiracy of Cataline,.Cicero, in dosing his great oration, called on the lathers of the Senate, and the people of Rome, to go to their altars and thank the im mortal gods lor the protection they had extended to the Eternal City. And what spectacle more grateful to Heaven than the thanksgiving of a mighty nation, after 6uch a deliverance ? The last great act of the drama is terminated. For the first time, the republic touches the two oceans. Its sunrise begins in the dark forests of Maine, and its sunset is over the glittering mountains of Califor nia. The world has waited for the consummation; and 1850 will be marked in all future time, by this most signal and grand event Yes, the crisis is past, and the republic is safe. The Catalines have fled, and Rome can now breather-free again.” CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, 1850. Professor Muhlenberg. By the following proceedings of the Executive Committee of the Trustees of Franklin College it will be perceived that Mr. F. A. Muhlenberg so long and so creditably connected with the highest department of education in our city, has resigned his professorship. From another quarter we learn tbar he has been elected to the chair of Professor of Greek in the Pennsylvania College at Gettys burg. To those of our citizens who know and have in timately associated with Mr. Muhlenberg, this announcement will be read with regret, that they are about to loose the society of a gentlemen ol such amiable deportment, correct principles and high professional qualifications. But when it is known that a wider field of usefulness is open be fore him, they will rejoice that his abilities and ac quirements are about being made more generally known and efficient than in the narrow bounds within which they wore heretofore confined. Lancaster has never sent forth a worthier son; and we feel confident she will never hear aught of him, in whatever post he may be called to fill, save that which shall redound to his credit.— At a recent meeting of the Executive Com mittee of Franklin College, the following Pream ble and Resolutions were unanimously adopted. A communication from Prof. Muhlenberg, in writing, tendering the resignation of his Professor ship in Franklin College, was received and read. Whereupon it was moved, and » Resolved, That the resignation of Professor Muhlenberg be and the same is hereby accepted. Resolved, That after the pleasant association of so many years, we cannot seperate from Professor Muhlenberg, without assuring him of our hearty wishes, for his personal and domestic happiness. Resolved, That we avail ourselves of this oppor tunity to say, that Prof. Muhlenberg carries with him as a man, our warm affection and esteem ; as an instructor , our high confidence and respect. Courteous and unexceptionable in his deportment —capable, diligent and faithful in the performance of his professional duties—exhibiting in govern ment that judicious mingling of kindness and de cision which prevents discipline front running into harshness on the one hand,, and an undue laxity on the other, he has so discharged the duties of his responsible station, as to win the affections of his pupils, without losing their respect. From such an instructor we cannot part otherwise than with fee.ings of lively regret, and the cordial wish that in the wider field of duty now opening before him, higher honors and more extended usefulness may crown his professional labors. Resolved, That of these Resolutions, be transmitted to Prof. Muhlenberg, by the Secretary. Extract from the minutes. S. BOWMAN, Secretary, Lancaster Sept. 30, 1850.
