.1 . 17- Admire with us, reader, the fol lowing most " Sow
ing" Vanua. Yon will remember them a long time;
for, to say nothing of the sentiment, there in such &hap
py collocation of words In the piece, that somehow or
other it is impossible to forget it. We read it for the drat
time nearly twenty years , ago, and !tin at this mementos
vivid as ever in our memory :—Rniektrborker.
One eve of beauty,when the son '
Was on the stream of Guadelquiver,
To gold converting, one by one,
The ripples of thernighty ricer ;
Malden:le, on Me-bank was seated
A Seville girl, with auburn hair,
And eyes that alight the world have cheated--
A wild, S right, wicked, diamond , pair.
•
She stooped and wrote tipon the sand,
Jost as the loving, sun was going,
With such a soft; small, shining band,
You would have sworn !twits silver flowing:
Her words were three, and not one more;
What could Dana's motto be?
The syren wrote upon the shore,
"Depth! not inconstancy:"
. And then, her two large, languid eyes,
. .
So turned on mine, the devil take me!
I set the s ream on fire with sighs,
And was the fool she chose to make me.
Saint French, would have been deceived
litynueli an eye and such a hand ;
Bat one week more, and I believed . -
As much the woman as the sand.
Written for put Saturday Morning' Rut.
THE FERN MEDAL.
A (miler ago, while rambling over the beau.
tiful hills east of our city, and adminng the scenery
that borders our table rivers, I soddenly found
myself at the site of the New Basin. Some work
men were breaking down the shale overhaning
an exhausted bed of coal, and filling up the pit, in
order to make a solid bottom (or the water. I
went down into the excavation, without thinkiog
thatl should fiod in it a relic of the flora of an
.epoch long anterior to the creation of man; or
that, from the rode and broken masses of rubbish
which ~u trounded me, my mind should be filled
with a ;rain of ideas as novel as they were de.
lightful.
L was first struck with the linear marks upon
the clay, which told its history. It had once been
held in solution by an ancient ocean, and was de
posited as ita•sediment. The shale beneath the
clay conveyed eq;my understanding the same story.
' •
In tossing the bitiof shale over with my foot, my
eye rested upon a fragment which I picked up
with the same eagerness as if I had found a medal
• - belonging to the age of Pericles. And a medal it
was, but of an era far more remote. A die had
been stamped upon it by the band of the Great
Mechanic of the Universe, antecedent to the birth
of Adam. • It was a medal at His past creation ;
end the device was a beautiful ineented eased fern,
belonging to the tribe of PoloodiFtcra. I have it
now before me, and it conveys in mute eloquence
a legend to my mind, that excites into high and
' holy thoughts. I can understand now what Shake
peace meant
-by "sermons in atones," for this lit.
tle piece of shale has been pre.aching to me ever
since I found it.
My fern medal told me, that long before Igua no
odon and Megalosaurus walked the earth, the coun
try around Pittsburgh was covered with an im
mense morass; the humid air filled with carbonic
acid gas; and tho temperature higb enough to
• support a tropical flora. In the process Of ages,
this morass became like the peat bogs of Ireland.
Geological eras, to which the eras of man's duo
cony -are but as moments, passed away, and the
land with its morasses and tropical ferns had dip.
'appeared, and an ocean bad taken its place. The
sediment of that ancient sea fell gently upon my
fern, and it was imbedded where it greweayer upon
layer covering it, and the anti mud permeating its
tender leaves. Those sedimentary deposits went
on; the peat bog undergoing bituminizarion the
while; and to be ex:burned in a far remote age,
by a new creature, for whom the earth was in a
process af preparation. The warm of the ocean
were ga:hered aivay to other beds, and dry land
again arose. Epochs piled by. The earth un
derwent many revolutions. The fauna and flora
of this itiliiviali age at lnstappeared. The springs
of the Appalachian mountaius sent their tributes
to the sea, wearing away the surface of the coup
try, and forming hills and valleys. The red man,
armed with his green -stone tomahawk and bow
. and arrows, wandered to the junction of the Al
legneny and Monongahela, and gave them and the
Ohio their names. As he stood upon MOCAT
reamer, over where my fern medal lay, he '
thanked .Manitou—as I, a deecendant of another
race, did the same Good Being-4or havicg given
to his eyes a prospect of woodland and water, of
hilta and valleys so exquisitely enchanting! The
oak tree germinated, and the hoary monarch of
many centuries, incapable any longer of giving
sap to its leaf, withered, cl!coyed, and :fell to the
grouniL . - :*Sratiorners and winters came and went
again. At the juncture of the rivers, a fort was
erected by a race more civilized than the red mars ;
and perhaps over where my fern medal Jay, a gal
lent young warrior of France may have reposed
in the shade of the forest trees, watching the flag
of the Bourbons floating - over La Belle Rivitre, or
the canoe of queen Aliquippa moving on the still
waters, A few years later, and the the Father of
his Country may have stood upon the same spot,
and looked down upon the island on which, wet
and shelterless, he passed a severe winter night.'
Another change marked the vicissitude of human
efface. The red cross of St. George, which had
taken the place of the l'ltur-delis, was gone, and
the starry banner of a young and mighty nation,
deicended of the Anglo Saxons, was waving at the
head of of La Belle Riviere I :rile canoe of the
Indian no longer broke the ripples of the stream,
but the hills gave echo to the roaring of a thous
and steam vents, and a migbty city was built over
the sites "--of Forts Duquesne and Pitt, with its
magnificent temple to Themis, and its hundred
churches - dedicated to the worship of Almighty
God. The inbabitantshud perforated Mount Pros
pect, and used the.eryitealized vegetation of the
carbOniferous era for fuel; and the top of the
mount:was excavated, and the sediment of the
ancient-ocean, which had been converted into
shale, was.brolten with powder and pick axes, to
make a Reservoir; and the piece un . which is
• stamped a .vestige of the flora of the youthful
earth, wee tossed up and trampled upon by the
-unthinking workmen. - Thus I found it.

ACQUITTAL or TEE REY. TllOll. J. BLIIIISOUGII9.-
The Baltimore Sun•of the 23d states that the uial
of Mr. Burroughs for manslaughter, in causing tho
death of James Byard Bishop, at Snow Hill, in Feb
ruary last, by shooting him With a pistol, closed on
Satorday With a verdict of acquittal, the act having
proved one of . self•defeneo, or committed under
reasonable apprehension of great bodily harm. The
verdict seems to us to be fully sustained by the testi
mony; thr in the absence of positive proof as to the •
design of the deceased, thcractir and the language
proved in connection with the fatal interview, justi
fied no other verdict, Alter the verdict was ren
ad, (adds the Sant Mr. Burroughs, was surround
ed by numerous friends, and'congratulated warmly
upon the result. He left Snow Hill itirmediately for
Chestertown, where his wire and family remained
during the period of hie imprisonment and trial.

would not -liskheing turned - into the river; There
%via also a very heavy sea, and a etrong wind from
.
the east, and the steamer was unable to come close
alongside. We therefore proCeeded slowly against
a strong head wind, to "a harbor ten miles east of
Chagres; where vie "now are, having arrived a little
before sunset. Some of the passengers made an
excursion to the woods, (adistance of 200 yards)
and in a short time returned with some cocoa .
tree branches, nuts, and a variety of other curios;e
ties in the way of tropical fruits; of which I did
not eat, but drank about a teaspoonful of the milk.
The Ores " tvill be. here at eight in the morning
to convey us to Chagres. • - .
I wrote to yon from New York. The vessel
was then laying one and - a
half miles below the
battery and expected to sail the next morning at
1 o'clock. A strong head wind detained us in
port till 12 M. on the eth instant. At the end of
the first week we had sailed twelve hundred miles,
(the distance to Chagres is twentythree hundred)
We were becalmed near St. Domingo fair or five•
days. When fifty miles north ofjamaimea strong
wind sprang up from the east, which continued,
with a very heavy sea, till the end ot our journey.
We passed within about four miles of the eastern
shore of Fink's island, between Cuba and. Si. Do.
mingel--very near the latter, and near the south
eastern corner of Jamaica: •
Our, trip has been a very pleasant one. We
have fifty.tbree passengers--fout. to Peru, and the
rest to the land of promise. The Isthmus presents
rather a fine prospect from the water—a bluff,
covered thickly with greener vegetation than we
see at the north, extends on either side as far as
the eye can reach. Chagres was invisible to us,
but I believe from a point further east it must be
SPEICIE. seen. A portion of the:ifs:irons somewhat rearm.

Our Correspondents.
Our readers have 'recently observed a number of
original literary articles in our paper, which have
not, as is customary with other papers, been
made the 'abject/ of editorial laudation. We have
preferred that the merits of the articles should be
discovered by those for whose pleasure and instruc
tion they were written. We are happy to say that
the original productloncof our friend, have not on
ly met with the approbation of gentlemen of high
literary attainments and scholia rahlp, but have been
copied into other papers whose editor. were cape
ble of appreciating good writing.
We call attention to the little article entitled the
" Fern Medal," in another column. It shows bow
an Intelligent and anquirieg mind will discover in
thecommonest of ject, beauties which arc hidden to
the ignorant rind unthoughtful. The science of ge
ology is beginning to attract general attention. We
hope our youthful readers will not consider the
world beneath their feet a '-terra incognita," but, as
"Ephra" recommende, seek the Ullman which will
unfold to them tho hidden wonders of creation.
We have received a fine poem, entitled "Poo*

appear in a few days.

The BEDFORD Smiths, in the country ofßedfordr
are 206 miles frbm Philadelphia, and may be reach
ed by rail.oad to Cbamhcraburg, and thence by
stages—the whole distance being passed in a day
and night. There is also another route by the Phil
adelphia, Baltimore, and Ohio Railroad, with staging
from Cumberland, Md. There are lit springs. 'fne
waters are eminently medicinal. Some of the cures
they have effected are astounding, Many of the
most distinguished physicians recommend them fur
dyspepsia, diseases of the liver,chronic obstructions,
&c. We can imagine no more beautiful spot than
Bedford springs. It is about a mile from the bor
ough of the same name, and is situated in a gorge or
narrow valley between two towering hills. Here
the beats of summer are rarely felt, and rural life is
enjoyed without measure. Tho hotel and adjacent
buildings aro kept in the very best order; all the
luxuries of the season, and all the advantages ofilie
rich and cultivated country that surrounds Bedford,
being put into requisition. The baths aro a great
feature of the establishment. Tho evenings pass
amid dance and song. Numerous shady retreats in
vita the invalid to rest. The gay bare their walks
and their rides—their fishing and gunning parties—
and all the amoaement of fashionable life. Mr. An
derson, the proprietor, is enterprising and Intel!).

Dar Thn Washington correspondents are specula
ting upon the persons who are to fill the foreign mis
stone. One report says that Mr. Abbot Lawrence
going to London, nod Mr. Mlham C. Rives to Paris.
Another cast of character is, that Mr. Clayton is des.
tined to London, and Mr. fives to Paris. We can
vouch fur none of these rumors. We suspect their
authenticity—but, at all crews, we should suppose
that it is rather too soon to break up the cabinet.
Give it time, and it will dissolve of itself at no dis
tant day.
Tho correspondent of the Journal of Commerce
writes that he I. has the best reason to believe that
every consulate worth having has been given out.
The appointees are nut yet named in public, nor
commissioned, but every one of them Is designated.
Among them Is the consul for Liverpool. Appli
cants fur these offices may cease to break their necks
for them."
But for the consolation of office-hunters, we beg
leave to elate that what has been decided may be
changed, and that thole who expect Winona the cup
may yet share the fate of Tantalus. We have heard
nn anecdote about one of these consulates which sa
tisfies us, that no pledge in favor of A is held to be
conclusive against tho claim of B.—TV4sMoglon
Union.
Inmost Frater.—Fire hundred reportc4killed.--A
gentleman who came down from the Indian country
'a few -day since, informs us that a runner 'cam•
in jest before he left, and reported theta aanguinary
battle had been fought on the prairie's between the
Camanches and an allied force of. several other
tribes; led by a Shawnee chief, and that after a des
perate fight, in which about fire hundred were slain,
the Camanchea fled, leaving the field in the:poises
glen of the victors. • .
We give this account es we have it from our in
formant. It may bo a false report, but the gentle.
man who gave us the iatordnation states that tho In• .
dices had decently made largo purchases of powder
and lead, and, it was feared by many that there
would be trouble among the:lndians on tho Plains.

TtEsotofloes .1M SLAVaIt.
Resolved, That the prineiples of the Presbyterian
Church, on the subject of Slavery, are already ant
forth in repeated declarations, ao fill and se explicit
as to need no further exposition.
Resolved, That in view of the civil and domestic
nature of this institution, and the competency of se
cular institutions alone to remove It: and in view of
the earnest enquiry and deep agitation on this sub
ject, whim) we now observe in one or more. Com.
monweniths oldie country, where slavery exists; it
tieing con Bred peculiarly improper and inexpe-
dient for MC Assembly to attempt or propose any
measures on the work of emancipation.
Resolved, That all necessary and proper provision
I's already made for the just exercise of discipline,
upon those who neglect or violate the mutual duties
of master and servant, and the General Assembly
is always ready to enforce these provisions, when
the unfaithfulness of any inferior court, is , made
manifest by record, or appeal, orneinpialnr.
Resolved, That we believe that the action of the
former Assembly, so far from aiding or allowing the
iniquitious oppression of man by hitt fellow
_mao,has
been steadily promotingamelioration in the doaition
of slaves, by the winning the confidence of masters
in our freedom from fanaticism, and by stimulating
the !lave holder and the pastor alike, to labor in the
Resolved, That it bo conjoined on Presbyteries
situate in slaveholding States to.continue and in
