WE SHALL MEET NO MORE
EZEMEEMM
We shall meet no more on the sunny hills,
Where the daisy blossoms grow,
We shall chase no more the laughing rills,
Or rove where the strawberries glow
Where the breeze sighs over the perfumed grass
And the lark soars up and sings,
lshall turn the faded leaves of the past;
And muse o'er departed, things.
Wo shall meet no more in the green old dell,
That We trod with willing feet,
Where the delicate flowers, like pink sea-shells,
Were brimming witn dew-drops sweet;
I say onr past is a broken wreath,
That eiu never again be tied,
And the parted spell, like morn's fresh breath
To thoselappy hours allied.
We shall meet no more--'tis a wild, strange world,
From these lips of mine to fall,
For once our souls, like -happy birds,
But answered each other's call.
Your spirit may know a happier lot,
Yet remember me, I implore,
And the pleasant, sunbeam-haunted spots,
We loved in the days of yore.
ON WOMAN
Ye are stars of the night, ye are gems of the morn
Ye are dew drops whose. lustre illumines the thorn, ,
'Tis thine o'er the couch of misfortune to bend,
In fondness a lover, in firmness a friend,
And prosperity's hour be it always confect,
From woman receives both refinement and zest.
DANTE], MORGAN, AND HIS AMER-
WAN RIFLEMEN
A RE \ OLUTIONARY SKETCH
The outposts of the two armies were ve
ry near to each other, when the American
commander, desirous of obtaining particu
lar information respecting the position of
the adversary, summoned the famed leader
of the Riflemen, Colonel Daniel Morgan,
to headquarters.
t was night, and the chief was alone.—
After his usual polite, yet reserved and
dignified salutation, Washington remarked:
"I have sent for you, Col. Morgan, to en
trust to your courage and sagacity a small,
but important enterprise. I wish you to
reconnoitre the enemy's line, with a view
to your ascertaining correctly the position
of their newly constructed redoubts, also
the encampments of the British troops that
have lately arrived, and those of their Hes
sian auxiliaries. Select, sir, an officer,
non-commissioned officer, and about twen
ty picked men, and, under cover,,of the
night, proceed, but, with all caution, get
as near as you can, and by day-dawn re
tire and make your report to headquarters.
But mark me, Col. Morgan, mark ine well;
upon no account whatever are you to bring
on any skirmish with the enemy; if discov
ered, make a speedy retreat : let nothing
induce you to tire a single shot. I repeat
sir, that no force of circumstances will ex
cuse the discharge of a single rifle on your
part; and for the extreme preciseness of
these orders, permit me to say, I have my
reasons." _Filling two glasses of wine, the
tieneral concluded: "And now, Col. Mor
gan, we will drink a good night, and suc
cess to your enterprise." Col. Morgan
quaffed the wine, sinacked.his lips, and as
sured his Excellency that his orders should
be punctually obeyed, and left the tent of
the Commander-in-Chief.
Charmed at being chosen as the execu
tive officer of a daring enterprise, the lead
er of the woodsmen repaired to his quar
ters, and callinff e for Gabriel Long, his fa
vorite captain,ordered him to detail a trusty
sergeant and twenty prime fellows, who,
being mustered and ordered to lay on their
arms, ready at a moment's warning, Mor
gan and Long stretched their manly forms
before the watch fire to wait the going
down of the moon, the signal of departure.
A little after midnight, and while the
rays of the setting moon still faintly glim
mered in the western horizon, "up Ser
geant," cried Long, " stir up your men,"
and twenty athletic figures were on their
feet in a moment. " Indian file, march,"
and away they all sprung with the quick,
and yet light and stealthy step of the
woodsman. They reached the enemy's
line, crawled up so close to the pickets of
the Hessians as to inhale the odor of their
pipes ; discovhred by the newly turned
earth the position of the redoubts, and by
the numerous tents that dotted the field
for "many a rod around," and showed dim
ly, amid the haze, the encampment of the
British and German reinforcements, and,
in short, performed their perilous duty
without the slightest discovery,and, pleased
with themselves and the success of their
enterprise, prepared to retire, just as a
chanticleer from a neighboring farm-house
was "bidding salutation to the morn."
The adventurous party reached a small
eminence at some distance from the British
camp, and commanding an extensive pros
pect over the adjacent country. Here
Morgan halted to give his men a little
rest, before taking up his line of march to
the American outposts. Scarcely had they
thrown themselves upon the grass, when
they perceived issuing from the enemy's
advanced pickets a body of horse, command
ed by an officer, and proceeding along the
road that led directly by the• spot where
the riflemen had halted. No spot could
be better chosen for an ambuscade, for
there, were rocks and ravines, and also
scrubby oaks, that grew thickly on the
eminence by which the road we have just
mentioned passed, at not exceeding a hun
dred yards.
"Down, boys, down," cried Morgan, as
the horse approached; nor did the clans
men of the Black Roderick disappear more
promptly amid their native heather than
did Morgan's woodsmen, in the present in
stance, each to his tree or rock. "Lie
close there, my lads, till we see what these
fellows are about."
Meantime the horsemdn had gained the
height, and the officer dropping the rein
on the charger's neck, with spy-glass re
connoitered the American lines. The
troops closed up their files, and were either
caressing the noble animals they rode, ad
justing their equipments, or gazing upon
the surrounding scenery, now fast bright
ening in the beams of a rising sun.
Morgan looked at Long, and Long at
his superior, while the riflemen, with pant
ing chests and sparkling eyes, were only
waiting some signal from their officer "to
let the ruin fly."
At length the martial ardor of Morgan
overcame his prudence and sense of milita
ry subordination. Forgetful of consequen
ces, reckless of everything but his enemy,
now within his grasp, he waved his hand,
and loud andsharp rang the report of their
rifles amid the surrounding echoes.
At point blank distance, the certain and
deadly aim of the Hunting Shirts of the
Revolutionary army is too well known to
history to need remark at this time of day.
In the instance we have recorded, the effect
of the fire of the riflemen was tremendous.
Of the horsemen, some had fallen to rise
no more, over the adjoining plain, others,
wounded, but entangled with their stir
rups, were dragged by the infuriated ani
mals expiringly along, while the very
few who were unscathed spurred hard to
regain the shelter of the British lines.
While the smoke yet canopied the scene
of slaughter, and the picturesque forms of
the woodsmen appeared among the foliage,
as they were reloading their pieces, the
collosal figure of Morgan stood apart. He
seemed the very genius. of war, and gloom
ily he contemplated the havoc his order
had made. He Spoke not, he moved not,
but looked as one absorbed iu the intensity
of thought. The martial shout with which
he was wont to cheer his comrades in the
hour of combat, was hushed 3 the shell from
which he had blown full many a note of
battle and of triumph on the field of Sara
toga, hung by his side; no order was given
to spoil the slain, the arms and equipments,
for which there was always a bounty from
Congress, the shirts of which there were
such a need at that the sorest period of our
country's privation, all, all were abandon
ed, as, with an abstracting air and a voice
struggling for utterance, Morgan, suddenly
turning to his captain, exclaimed, "Long,
to the camp, to the camp." The favorite
captain obeyed, the riflemen with trailed
arms fell into file, and'Long and his party
soon disappeared, but not before the hardy
fellows had exchanged opinions on the
strange termination of the late affair. And
they agreed, nem con., that their colonel
was tricked, (conjured,) for assuredly after
such a fire as they had given the enemy,
such an emptying of saddles and scattering
of the troopers, he would not have ordered
his poor rifle boys from the field, without
so much as a few shirts or pair of stock
ings being divided among them. "Yes,"
said a tall, lean and swarthy looking fel
low, as he carefully placed his moccasined
feet in the foot-prints of the file-leader,
'Yes, ny lads, it stands to reason, our
colonel is tricked:"
Morgan followed slowly on the trail of
his men. The full force of his military
guilt had rushed upon his mind, even be
fore the report of his rifles had ceased to
echo in the neighboring forests. He be
came more convinced of the enormity of
his offence, as, with dull and measured
strides, he pursued his solitary way, solilo
quizing :
"Well, Daniel Morgan, you have dune
for yourself. Broke, sir, to a certainty.
You may go home, sir, to the plough ;. your
sword will be of no further use tp you.—
Broken, sir, nothing 'can save you ; and
there is the end of Col. Morgan. Fool,
fool, by a single act of madness, thus to
destroy the earnings of so many toils and
of many a hard-fought battle. You arc
broken, sir, and there is an end of Col.
Morgan.
To disturb his reverie, there suddenly
appeared at full speed the aid-de-camp,
the Mercury of the field, who, reining up,
accosted the Colonel with, "I am ordered,
Col. Morgan, to ascertain whether the fir
ing just now heard proceeded from your
detachment ?"
"It did sir," doggedly replied Morgan.
" Then, Col. Morgan," continued the
aid, " I am further ordered to require of
you your immediate attendance upon His
Excellency, who is fast approaching."
Morgan bowed, and the aid, wheeling
his charger, galloped back to rejoin the
chief.
The gleams of the morning sun, shining
upon the sabres of the horse guard, an
nounced the arrival of the dread comman
der—that being who inspired with a degree
of awe every one who approached him.—
With a stern, yet dignified composure,
Washington addressed the military cul
prit :
" Can it be possible, Col. Morgan, that
my aid-de-camp has iformed me aright ?
Can it be possible, after the orders you re
ceived last evening, that the firing we have
heard proceeded from your detachment ?
Surely, sir, my orders were so explicit as
not to be easily misunderstood."
Morgan was brave, but it has been often,
and justly, too, observed, that man was
never born of woman who could approach
the great Washington and not feel a de
gree of awe and veneration from his pres
ence. Morgan quailed for a moment be
fore the stern yet just displeasure of his
Chief, till arousing all his energies for the
effort, he uncovered and replied :
"Your Excellency's orders were perfect
ly understood ; and agreeably to the same,
1 proceeded with the select party to recon
noitre the enemy's lines by night. We suc
seeded even beyond our expectations, and
1 was returning to the headquarters to
make my report, when, having halted a
few minutes to rest the men, we discover
ed a party of horse coming out from the
enemy's lines. They came up immediately
to the spot where we lay concealed by the
brushwood. There they halted, and gath
ered together like a flock of partridges,
affording me so tempting an opportunity of
annoying my enemy, and, may it please
your excellency, flesh and blood could not
refrain."
At this rough, yet frank, bold and man
ly explanation, a smile was observed to
pass over the General's suite. The Chief
remained unmoved ; when, waving his
hand, he continued: "Colonel Morgan, you
will retire to your quarters, there to await
further orders."
Arrived at his quarters, Morgan threw
himself upon his hard couch, and gave him
self up to reflections upon the events which
had so lately and rapidly succeeded each
other. He was aware he had sinned
all hopes of forgiveness. Within twenty
hours he had fallen from the command of
a regiment, and being an especial favorite
of the General, to be what ?—a disgraced
and broken soldier. Condemned to retire
from tha scenes of glory, the darling pas
sion of his heart—forever to abandon the
"fair fields of fighting men ," and in ob
scurity to c: :g out the remnant of a
wretched existence, neglected and forgot
ten. And then his rank so hardly and so
nobly won, with all his " blushing honors"
acquired in the march across the frozen
wilderness of the Kennebec, the storming
of the Lower Town, and the gallant and
glorious combat at Saratoga.
The hours dragged gloomily away, and
night came, and with it no rest for poor
Morgan. The drums and fifes merrily
sounded the soldier's dawn, and the sun
arose, giving " promise of a goodly day."
And to -many. within the circuit of this

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 6, 1256.
widely extended camp did his genial beam
give hope, and joy and gladness, while it
cheered not with a single ray the despair
ing Leader of the Woodsmen.
About ten o' clock the orderly on duty
reported the arrival of an officer of the
staff, from headquarters, and Lieutenant
Colonel Hamilton, the favorite of the Com
mander-in-chief, entered the marque.
"Be seated," said Morgan ; " I know
your errand, so be short, my dear fellow,
and put me out of my misery at once. I
know that I am arrested ; 'tis a matter of
course. Well, there is my sword ; but
surely his Excellency honors me, indeed,
in these last moments of my military exis
tence, when he sends for my sword by his
favorite aid, and my most esteemed friend.
Ah, Hamilton, if you knew what I have
suffered since that accursed horse came
out to tempt me to my ruin."
LHamilton, about whose striking intelli
gent countenance there always lurked a
playful smile, now observed, "Coltincl Mor
gan his excellency has ordered me to"—
" I knew it," interrupted Morgan, "to
bid me prepare for trial? but, pshaw, why a
trial ? Guilty, sir, guilty past all doubt.—
But then," recollecting himself, " perhaps
myiservices may plead—nonsense—against
the disobedience of a positive order ; no,
no, it's all over with me. Hamilton, there
is an end to your old friend, Col. Morgan."
The agonized spirit of the hero then
mounted to a pitch of enthusiasm as he ex
claimed: " But my country will remember
my services, and the British and Hessians
will remember me ; for,.. though I may be
far away, my brave comrades will do their
duty ; and Morgsn's Riflemen will be, as
they always have been, a terror to the en
emy.
The noble, tle generous-souled Hamil
ton could no longer bear to witness the
struggles of the brave unfortunate ; he
called out, " Hear me, my dear Colonel ;
only promise to hear me for one moment,
and I will tell you all."
" Go on, sir," interrupted Morgan, des
paringly, " go on."
"Then," continued the aid-de-camp,
"you must know that the commanders of
regiments dine with his Excellencyto-day."
"What of that ?" again interrupted Mor
gan ; " what has that to do with me a pris
oner and—"
" No, no," exclaimed Hamilton ; no
prisoner—a once offending, but now a for
given soldier ; my orders are to invite you
to dine with his Excellency to-day, at three
o'clock precisely; yes, my brave and good
friend, Col. Morgan, you still are and like
ly long to be the valued and famed com
mander of the Regiment.
Morgan sprang from his camp-bed, upon
which he was sitting, and• siezing the hand
of the great liCtle man in his giant grasp,
wrung and wrung it, till the aid-de-camp
literally struggled to get free, . then ex*-
claimed : "Am I in• my senses ? but 1
know you, Hamilton—you are too noble to
spat with the feelings of an old brother
soldier."
Hamilton assured his friend that all was
true, and gaily kissing his hand, as he
mounted his horse, bidding the now delight
ed Colonel remember three o'clock, and be
careful not to disobey a second time, gal
loped to head-quarters.
Morgan entered the pavilion of the Com
mander-in-Chief, as it was filling with offi
cers, all of whom, after paying their re
spects to the General, filed off to give a
cordial squeeze of the hand to the Com
mander of the Rifle Regiment, and to
whisper in his car words of congratulation.
The cloth removed, Washington bid his
guests fill their glasses, and gave his only,
his unwavering toast of the days of trial,
the toast of the evening of his " time hon
ored" life amid the shades of Mount Ver
non, "..511 our Friends." Then, with his
usual old-fashioned politeness, ho drank to
each guest by name. When he came to
" Col. Morgan, your health, sir," a thrill
ran through the manly frame of the grati
fied and again favorite soldier, while every
eye in the pavilion was turned on him.—
At an early hour the company broke np,
and Morgan. had a perfect escort of officers
accompanying him to his quarters, all anx
ious to congratulate him upon happy
restoration to rank and favor, air pleased
to assure him of their esteem for his per
son and services.
Voyage to the Rocky Mountains
About this time of every • year, two, three,
or a greater number of boats, exclusive of
those belonging to the United States Govern
ment, start on expeditions to Fort Pierre, or
to the mouth of the Yellow Stone River, and
are not seen again at our landing for a period
of two, or perhaps three months.
They are either chartered fur government
uses, or by some trading company, to convey
supplies to their employees in the wilderness,,
and to bring in return the furs, rubes and
peltries collected by them during the year.
The departure and arrival of one of these
mountain boats is an event, at the landing, of
unusual importance. Days are spent in fit
ting out fur the expedition. The at is made
lighter than usual, by discardin everything
about her that can be dispensed with. Stores
are laid in for the support of officers and crew;
adieus are said, handserchiefs are waved, and
the vessel is away on her long and dreary
trip.
The Genoa, Capfain Throckmorton, is now
preparing at the landing for one of these trips
to Furt Pierre, and will probably be the first
boat to reach that point this year. The St.
Mary will be the next. She will leave about
a week hence. But Captain Labarge intends
to take the St. Mary fifteen littered miles be
yond Fort Pierre, and far beyond the utmost
point ever gained by a steamboat on the Mis
souri. The place intended to be reached, if
possible, by Capt. L., is the Forks of the Mis
souri, in - the vicinity of Fort Benton. He has
already been offered, as an encouragement to
carry out his enterprise, fifty tons of Govern
ment goods, to be delivered on account of some
tribe of Indians. Some years ago, Capt. L.
made himself quite familiar with the river in
the vicinity of the " Fork" by frequent excur
sions in canoes, accompanied by Indians and
traders. We have no doubt he will succeed
in earning fur himself the fame of being the
first captain to take a steamboat to the head
of navigation on the Missouri. His boat is
extremely light, and he is possessed of that
indomitable energy which will ensure the car
rying out of his object, if it be attainable. If
the St. Mary gots to her destination, and re
turns in, safety, she will have performed a
round trip of about 6000 miles.
gdr• Paterson at this time has four large
establishments fur the manufacture of locomo
motive engines—one for the manufacture of
their axles and wheels—altogether giving di
rect employment to about 1650 hands, and
producing about 190 engines per year. Also
12 cotton mills, 2 paper mills, 5 machine
shops, 3 printing and dyeing establishments,
1 flax mill, 4 silk mills, and - 1
card factory,
giving direct employment to about 5500 hands,
over and above those employed in the locomo
tive establishments, and receiving altogether
wages to the amount of about $1,500,000 a
year, being an increase of more than 100 per
centosince 1832.—Kewark Mercury.
SAD PICTURE OF A ONCE BEAUTIFUL AND
HAPPY FEIIALE.—The Mrs. Howard to whom
we alluded in our last, was re-arrested Jester
da.w morning, only a short time after her dis
charge from the watch-house. She was found
by a policeman in a stable, of course, grossly
intoxicated- After being taken before Justice
Davis, she was sentenced to the e Penitentiary
for thirty days as a vagrant.
The history of this unfortunate ceatui e is
a melancholy one. Some may censure, but
we are disposed to pity her. Less than a year
ago she was living in New York with her hus
band, who held a position of honor and trust
in one of the large mercantile houses in that
city. She was admired for beauty and intel
ligence, moved in an exalted sphere, and was
surrounded by friends and relatives, who re
speeted and loved her. Last fall her husband
was sent upon a collecting tour, and she ac
companied him. On their way hither the hus
band fell in with a cunpany of " confidence "
or "patent safe" men, and was induced to join
in their nefarious business.
In this city his guilt became known—he
was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to the
State Prison, at Auburn, fur a term of years
where he now remains. This fact becoming
knOwn to her family and friends, they at once
digowned her, leaving her alone in world, and
surrounded by the disgrace which her hus
band had brought upon her. In her despera
tion she resorted to the wine cup, and is now
a pour, dissolute, drunken wretch--fit only for
pity and compassion. Her trunks, which
were filled with fine clothing and other arti
cles, are detained at a hotel as security for the
payment of bills contracted by her husband.
Her jewelry was long since left at a pawn
broker's, and she is left without friends, that
were once hers. Lost, lose, lost !—Rogillo

771A1L.11 LANDS FtO.I4 .2. SALE.—TIIE ILLINOIS
r CENTRAL RAILROAD MPANY is now prepared to
.11 over TWO 3ULLION orACR.ES OF FARMING LANDS,
in Tracts of 'lO ACHES dud - upwards,,on long credits
and at low rates of interest. i
These lauds were granted hy the Government, to aid In
the eonstruction of this italirusd, and include some of the
richest sad most fertile Prairees In the State, interspersed
here and there with magnificent groves of oak and other
timber. The Reed extends from Chicago, •on the North
Keit, to Cairo at the Routh, ten d from thencite Galena and
Duuleith, in the North west extreme of the State, and as
ail the lands lie within fiftee miles on each side of this
Road, roady and cheap mash/ &deeded by it for traus•
porting the products of thel de to any of those point-land
from thence to Eastern and southern markets. Moreover;
the rapid growth of flourishing towns and outages along
the line. and the great increase in population by immigra
tion, etc., afford a substantial and growing home demand
for farm produce.
The soil is a dark, rich mould, from one to five feet in
depth, is gently rolling and peculiarly iltted, fee grating
cattle and sheep, or the cultidation of wheat, Indian
orn, etc. I
h:eonenty in cultieating and great productiveness am the
cell known characteristic all Illinois land. Trees are not
required to be cut down, stutbps grubbed, or stones picked
all, as is generally the ease in cultivating new land lathe
older States. The first crop of Indian corn, planted on the
newly broken sod, ueually repays the cost of plowing and
ten ei m.r.
„eleeat sown on the nose tukted soil is sure to yield very
to roe profit.. A man with ii plow and two yoke of name
will creak one and a half to 'tvo acme per slay. Contracts
cue be sumle for breaking, reedy for corn or wheat, at from
ee to e. 50 per acre. By juditious management, the laud
may be plowed and fenced the first, and under a high state
of cultivation the second putt .
Corn, grain, cattle, eta.,
will be forwarded at reasonable
rates to Chicago, for the Eastern market, and to Cairo for
the Southern. The Luger yield ou the cheep lands of 1111-
note over the high priced Ituide, in the Eastern and Middle
Settee, is known to be much mom than sufachnit to pay
the ditference of transportatlbulto the Eastern market.
Bituminous cowl is mitredeit several :points along the
Road, and lea chearrand desirable fuel. It ran be delivered
at several points along the Komi at sl,eo to 4,00_ per ton.
Wood can be had at the same{ rates per cord.e.
Those who think of settling in lowa or Minnesota, should
bear iu mind, that lands there, of any value, along the wa
ter courses and for many inile inland, have been disposed
of,—that fur these, located in the Interior, there are nu con
veniences fur transporting the produce to market, Railroads
not having been introduced there. That to send the pre.
dues of these lands, one or too hundred miles by wagou to
market, would cost mach more then the expellee of culti
vating thew; and hence, Government panda thus situated, at
$1.25 per acre, are net so good Investments as the laud of
this company at the prices fixed.
The Caine remarks hold steel in relatiou to the lands iu
Kansas mid Nebralka, for although vacant lands may be
found nearer the water emu m, the distance to market is
far greater, and every huntir4sl miles the produce of those
lands are carried either in agons, or interruptsed water
communications, luermeee t he expenses of transportatiou,
which must be borne by the battlers, in the reduced price of
their pe7eitiets; and to that ei tent previly are the i ocemes
fro.n their farms, and of course On their ineedtillelltS, an
nually and every year reduce I.
The great fertility of the lauds new offered for sale by this
company, end their coos vine it yield over those of the Eas•
Tel ii HIM Middle States, is lin h MOre than etelicient to pay
