It iS'a spirit-stirring description of -the unfortunate Don Roderick, .the last of the Gothic kings of Spain, in battle: horse! My noble horse! he.cried, with flattering hand Patting his high-arched neck ! the renegade, I thank him' for 't, bath kept thee daintily!' Oreho, thou art in thy beauty still, Thy pridu and strength! Orelio, my good horse, Once more thou bearest to the field thy lord, He ;who so oft bath fed and cherished thee; He, for whose sake, wherever thou pert seen, Thou wert by all men honored. Once again Thou bast:thy_ proper master! Do thy part As thou wert wont; and bear him gloriously, My beautiful Orelio.; to the last— ' The-happiest of his fields! Then he drew forth The scymitaT, and waving it aloft, Rode toward the troops; its unaccustomed shape Disliked him; Renegade-in all things ! cried The Goth, and cast it from him ; to the chiefs Then said, WI have done ye, service here -Help me, I ;May you, to a Spanish sword! The trustiest blade that e'er inßilbilis Was dipt, would not today be misbestowed On this right hand I Go, some one,Gunderic cried, And bring the Count Julian's swor. -Who e'er thou The worth which thou bast shown avenging him Entitles thee to wear it. But thou goest • For battle unequipped ; haste thee and strip Yon villain of his armor... Late he spake, So fast the Moors came on. It matters not Replied the Goth; there's many a mountaineer, Who in-no'better armor cased this day Than, his wonted leathern gipion, will be found In the hottest battle, yet bring off untouched -The unguarded life he ventures. Taking then Count Julien's sword, he fitted round his wrist The chain, and eyeing the elaborate steel With stern regard of joy ; the African Under unlucky stars was born, he cried, Who tastes thy edge ! Make ready for the charge ! They -come! they come l On, brethren, to the field. The word is vengruce !. Vengeance was the word; From man to man, and rank to rank It passed, By every heart enforeed, by every voice Sent forth in loud defiance of the foe. The enemy in shriller sounds returned Their AMUR and the Prophets trusted name. The horsemen loWered their spears, the infantry Deliberately with low and steady step Advanced; the bowstrings twang , d, and arrows hissed, And javelins hurtled by.

I shall close my notice of SOuthey by quoting the following little poem, which. though familiar to most readers, I hope they will not be indiffer ent to it on that account: THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM It was a summer evening; Old Kasper's work was done, And he before the cottage door Was sittnig in the sun; And by him sported on the green His little grand-child Wilhelmine She saw her brother Peterkin Roll something large and round, Which he beside the rivulet, In playing there bad found, He came to ask what he had found, That was so large, and smooth, and round Old Raspartook it from the boy, Who stood expectant by ; And then the old man shook his head, And with a natural - sigh, "'Tie some poor fellow's skull," said he, "Who fell in the great victory. " I find them in the garden,— There are many here about,— And often when I go to plough, The plough-share turns them out. For many thousand men," said he, " Were slain in that great victory.” "Now tell us what Pt was all about," Young Peterkin he cries; Andlittle Wilhelmine looks up, With wonder-waiting eyes; "Now tell us all about the war, And . what they killed each other for." " It wile the English," Kasper cried, Whoput the French to rout ; But what they killed each Other for, I could not, well make out. But every body, said," quoth he, "That Pt was a% famous victory'. t , My lather lived at Blenheim then, Yon little streamlard by ; They burned his dwelling to the ground And he was forced tolly So with his wife and child he fled, Nor had he where to rest hia bead. w With fire and sword the country round Was wasted far and wide; And many a hapless mother, then, And new-born baby died. ' Bat things like that, you know must be At every famous victory. " Great praise the Duke of Marlborough Won And our good prince Eugene." " Why 't was a very wicked thing," Said little.Wilbemine. "Nay, nay, my liitle girl," qoutb he, "It was a famous victory. "And every body . praised the duke, Who this great fight did win." " But Whit good came of last I" Quoth little Peterkin. '" Why that I cannot tell," said he, " But 'twat; a famous victory." Tan Army? or CaoLcaa.—ln Boisseau's Treat ise on Cholera, he mentioned some , desperate cases treated by M.

The Union of Wednesday contains the following appointment by the President, by and with the ad vice and consent of the Senate : Jt tor B. Wr.m.ra, of Ohio, to be Commissioner for running the boundary line between the United States and the Republic of Mexico, under the sth article of the treaty with that republic, concluded on the 2d of February, 1898, in the place of A. B. Sevier, who was nominated to the Senate, and has since died. No appointment made by President Polk hai al. forded us more sincere gratification than this. As evidence of the popularity of Col. Weller, the Union states that he was nominated on the 16th inst., and the nomination was confirmed the next day, without difficulty or opposition. Although cheated out of tbe Governorship of Ohio, by a reckless band of Whig politician, he will now occupy a position of which his numerous friends gill feel proud.

The Oholera..-New - Orleans and Mobile The New Orleans papers of the 6th, 7th, Bth, and 9th inst., present the following statement of the in terment:, on the four days mentioned, from Cholera and other diseases: Cholera. Other Diseases. Total 21 44 17 25 59 ••.24 27 ' 47 22 • 49 January 5 a ti. 7 " 8 The New Orleans Delta, of the 9th intl., Bays: As all panic has now ceased in relation to the Cholera in our city, and the opinion of the Board of Health, as to the disease ceasing to be epidemic, we have deemed it no longer necessary to furnish a daily list of interments taken direct from the cemeteries.” In looking over the lists of deaths, we find that most of them are foreigners, just arrived on board of ships at that port. Atlelobile, on the 9th inst., there'were two new cases of Cholera reportad—one of which was in.pri vate practice. The liobile Herald, of the 10th inst., says : I. It ii said that the Cholera is raging in some parts of the country. We heard a terrible story last night about Aberdeen. It is too dreadful to be repeated on any thing like questionable authority. Some peo ple here are talking of establishing a quarantine on all the boats from the upper raglan o f country. All the Cholera that now exists in Mobile comes down the rivers, and we think, therefore, that this idea of a quarantine is not bad:, Gold Dollars. We learn, says the Philadelphia'Ledger, from the Hon. Charles Brown, at Washington, that the sub ject of coining gold dollars is now before the com mittee of ways and means of the House, as well as one of the committees of the Senate, and we have the same authority for saying it is likely to be re commended by them to the favorable consideration of Congress. No objection is urged to the measure by the politicians, that we have heard; and so far as the press may be taken as an exponent of the popu lar wish, the country every where favors such coin age. Under such a state of things, there is reason to hope that an act, authorizing gold dollars, may become a law the present session of Congress. Raid Road Meeting.
