THE LIGHTNING HORSE.
The iron horse goes dashing , ll,--
• The Turf-iteed, lags behind;
While rail road cities onward fly,
As swift, aye swifter than the wind !
. But steam's too slow;—it 411 not do ;
The cry is, on! more speed ! more power I
On rack the brain for something new,
A thousand miles, at least, an hour !
And yet too slow—a fleeter pace !
Bring down great heaven's thoroughfare !
Vannibilate both time and space,
As thought and light pass through the a:r !
'Tis done! he comes! the lightning horse!
Lo ! thought and time fall far behind ! !
The price is thine, immortal Morse,
A triumph grand of mighty mind !!
Magnetic King, o'er locomotion,
Wethail thee Monarch of the age,
Whilesteam encircling land and ocean,

walks the world, making it the better that he has I
lived and died. Or, in the nobler words of Scrip.
lure, "he being dead, yet speaketh."
The death of Richard F. L'Hommedieu came
upon-us most unexpectedly. In a conversation
with one who knew him intimately from his boy
hood up, and whose own soul seems to have been
moulded in, the same noble form, a casual occur
rence was related which so eminently marks the
man. I beg leave to add it:
IS
. , ,
My infoimant had stepped into Selves, and ob
serving Mr L'Hommedieu with a basket, had the
curiosity to watch him. He was directing what
should be put into it—every delicacy in turn, oys
ters, birds, jellies, the best wines, &c. Having fin
ished, inquiry was made what he could possibly do
with such an array of delicacies?
• "Oh 7” replied L'H., "very easily disposed of."
"Well," said my informant, I don't ..beleave I
could do better than to follow, so lead on."
"That ydu will hardly do, I am afraid; the place
is not so g as you Imagin e."
The foetus, my friend suspected his ..bject, and
being on such terms as allowed him the privilege, -
they left together. After a walk of some distance
L'Hommedieu turned into a dark lane in the sub
orbs of the City, and groping his way along to the i
back entraace of a very humble tenement, he en•
tered, closely followed by his companion.
'Well aunty; how do you do to day? Better
hope." •

"Oh, yes, sir. The doctor says lam a heap bet
ter, indeed I feel so."
"Glad to hear it; the doctor, then, cornea regular
-Iy?"
"Yes, indeed; he said you told him he musn't
miss me."
"That's right. Here's a basket aunty; you need
these little things now, so help yourself. Any
thing more you wain?"
"No, sir, no," replied the old woman, the tear
in her eye: God bless you, no."
Here was' an aged colored woman, who when in,
health, had been the laundress of Mr. L'Homme
dieu: Missing her usual calls, he had searched
herout, ministered to her wants, eqen to every del
icacy the market coold afford, and though she was
far wasted by a rapid consumptinn, she was daily
and faithfully attended to the iast.
((those to whom a kind Providence has commit
ted the dispensation of his almonies, can lie down
with as many pleasant memories as Richard F
L'Hommedieu, happy will it be for them here and
hereafter.

following:
"Every body has heard of a fandango, I can now
say that I have seen one, of the better sort. There
is here a man originally from Middletown, Butler
Co., Ohio, who was nursed in sickness by an Al
calde's dauoitter at Monterey, and who gratefully
and romantically ran away with and married her
afterwards. He at was who gave the ball," at the
request of the officers;" and his fair Senora was
the most,graceftd, charming and continuous dancer.
It was a strange intermixture of colors and tongues
—some. white, ,some vpper colored, and come
half and half. The daßing was upon a brick
pavement in a kind of court,—cotillions, reels, and
a•waltz or gallopade, which seemed to be the par
ticular delight of the Mexicans, and which some '
of them danced full hour without cessation."

GCN. TArton ♦en -rus Watos.—At present
there is a deeply interesting controversy going on
;between the various sections of , the Whig party, in
relation to claims and opinions of General Taylor.
It is clearly evident that the old, steadfast, "out
anti-out Whigs," are determined the Hero of Buena
Vista shat not occupy the Presidential mansion
with their consent. The Cleveland True Demo
crat, a leading and influential Whig paper of Ohio,
avows openly its hostility to Taylor as a candi
date for the Presidency; and it gives its reasons in
justification of its course. It says:
'TAYLOR TS NO MORE A WHIG THAN
SILAS wEIGHT. HE REFVBES TU DUN As
TUE Who CANDIDATE. lie weer has been arm
ftfini with the whig party. HE NEVER CAST
A 'WHIG VOTE. THE LAST VOTE DE
EVER CAST WAS FOR GEN. JACKSON.—
Why then should the whips support him in prefer
ence to Silas Wright? But we do riot expect to
vote for either. ":"ink or swim. live or die." we
mean to vote fur no one who does nut openly arid
fearlessly maintain our sentiments, and is o Wing
"to stake his all upon Their success, let the result be
what it may.
1 • The N. Y. Tribune, in commenting on the cir
-comstance that Gen Taylor, in his lute letter, de
clined giving an opinion on the questions Of a
(National Bank and a high Protective Tariff, mi the
ground that be had not examined those subjects
sufficiently to enable him to give an enlightened
reply, says:
"And it seems odd to us that a Whig should be
destitute of an opinion on the general subject—or
rather we consider it desirable that ova candidate
for President should be chosen from among those!
ho have such an opinion, and are neither
afraid nor ushamed to avow it. '
Opinions similar to the above may be found in
lalmost any of the old fashioned %%big, papers of the
country. But a few opposition editors, broken
flown politicians and bankrupts, still keep up the
General's name as a sort of mantle to cover their
political sins.

Practi,al Nahriam.—A few weeks since a shanty.
belonging to Messrs. Esmrs , STlstesom & o, at
Rockport, Mass., which they were preparing for
the residence of some Irish people, was blown up.
It ivas rebuilt, but on Thursday night, some evil
spirit placed a keg of powder within it and blew
it The Selectmen of Rockport have offered a
reward of $lOO for the detection and conviction (1
the offenders. Messrs. Eames, Stimpson & Co.
have also offered $4OO in addition.—Cin. Eng.
TT We are rattier surprised to learn that a pa.
per has recently been commenced in this city, to
advocate the measures of the faction who burn
churches and blow up with gunpowder the homes
of poor Irish Emigrants. Charity and humanity
are strangers to the Nativist party. In commit.
ling acts such as the above, they not only outrage
order and decency, but basely insult the memory
of their ancestors.
The letter purporting to have been Written by
General Scott to Mr. Fihnore:—which has lately
gone the rounds of the papers, is pronounced by
the New York Courier as a hoax:
The Washington Whig' pronounced General
Taylor's letter to the editor of the Signal "a wick
ed forgery;" and we expect the assertion of the
New York C'oursrr respecting General Scott's let
ter to Mf. Filmore will turnout just as correct,—
These old Soldiers have a curious way of express-
ing themselves
cry. Some of the Cincinnati papers have taken
strong ground in laeor of .a removal of the seat of .
Government from Washington city to the "Queen
city of the vi.cst."
c' - • The following article appeared in the Ga
zette of yesterday, and is intended as a reply to our
last remarks on the simulated morality of that
paper. We lay it before our readers .as the best
evidence of all we have said, 'in regard to the hy
pocrisy and disingenuousness of men, who might
wear the garb of honesty ) if nature, true to its in
terest, did not shew the make and fashion of their
minds. We supposed the editors of the Gazette to
be capable of defending any position which they
assumed, without resorting to calumny and false
hood. When we are found the advocates of infi-'
delity, it will be time for those editors to exhibit,
with some degree of decency, their pious quixot
ism ; but our readers know what we have isaid, and
they can appreciate the-. character of Men who
would make religion the test Of political qualifi
cations, and honesty, capacity, and faithfulness to
the constitution, secondary to canting hypocrisy. ,
When we have more leisure, we will tear off the I
mask from these Cioinwe/lian captains.
"The Posrseeks to extricate Robert Dale Owen's
Infidelity upon the ground of his nonage. This
will not avail. He was not a young man when
I he gave publicity to his creed, and if he had been,
we have no evidence whatever that he has aban
doned that creed now. Upon the contrary,,, his
late constituents had evidence that he adhered to
it,—and it was for this they put their mark upon
him. We shill change no issue with the Post.—
The editors may call us "hypocritical" till their
lungs crack, and the Whit party "drunken," 4. pro- I
lane, - "blasphemous," men foremost in midnight
I orgies," "dissolute," "reckless," "men encouragd
ing their fair daughters to forget the delicacy of
their sex," A:c.,&c. All this is but the raving of
idiocy or insanity, and will pass before an intelli
gent public tor just what it is worth. It is enough
in answer to• know that the Post is the apologist
and de:entler of Robert Dale Ouch,—the author of
a %%ois., lubdelity and greater immorality than
that ot the most notorious infidels who drove!
France to Revolution and Europe -to anarchy.
With the sentiments of Andrew Jackson Davis
and Robert Dale Owen, the Post bids fair to bel
come as Liberal as Torn Paine in its creed. andl
about as pernicious from the proinulgation of itsj
opinions

PEAT!! Or • PII I rEll . — Culonel Charles 11.
Brough. commander of the Fourth Ohio Regiincnt,
iii writing to his paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer,
(turn Matamoraf., tis)drr date of August firs', m r:•
?ions the death of Alr.Joirx Prurrnan n, a printer,
as follows
Since I last wrote, the melancholy duty of fol
lowing to his long home, one of the Rough and
Ready Cadets, has been performed. Joax l'airrn
' A 1/, the subject of this visitation, died of conges
tive fever, suddenly, on Saturday,. the :dist ultimo
Ile was a young man of many excellent qualities,
of manly appearance. and general good health, a
printer by trade, originally, I learn, from the neigh.
horhood of Massillon lie was kindly cared for
in sickness, and laid in his grave with military
honors, in presence of a throng of his late corn
miles. No other death has taken place, and the
sick are doing well."
Mr. PRITUII.IBII here spoken of was raised in
Cadiz, Ohio , and learned the printing business in
the " Sentinel " office, at that place. He set typci ,
under our direction, and was a member of out.
family for nearly two years. We always found
him to be a worthy and honorable young man. Ile
has many friends residing at that place who will
regret to hear of his death.
FABII/1 aNAn Lx Ciarnroxs.—The New York cor
respondent of the National Era, who signs him'
self "John Smith the Younger," thus speaks of
the fashionable Churches in Gotham: "During
the hot season, many of your country renders may
not be aware that the fashionable churches of New
York are all shut up. A pious exclusive would as
soon take a stroll on our beautiful "Battery," as
be seen at church in July or August; so the doors
of the sanctuary are closed. The spider spins his
web in the pulpit; the dust settles thick on the
splendidly bound Bible; the sexton drinks juleps
at Coney Island ; and the respectable pastor re
cruits his exhausted energies in the religious sa
loons of Saratoga or Newport:"
