Maize! with your serried columns,

rye scared ye in the city;
I've sclaped ye on the plain:
—Go, count your chosen where they fell
Beneath My leaden rain—

The pale face I defy;
Revenge is stamp'd upon my spear,
And "blood" my battle cry.
Some strike for hope of booty,
Some to defend their all—
I battle for the joy I have,
To see the white man fall:
I love among the wounded,
To hear his dying moan,
And catch, while chanting at his side,
The music of his grcian.

And warns ye-4. Come wit here."

But should ye crave life's nourishment,
Enough I have and good:

Yet light is not my food.

And I'll taunt ye with my latest breath,
And fight ye till I die.

THE NEWS-GATHERER.
tO.The subjoined parngraphs are all taken from
No. I,Vol. 3,0 f the New-Yorker,one of the best
meekly papers yublished in this country.
Hon. Alexander Stevenson, Ambassador
tit the Court of St. James, has publicly and
positively contradicted an assertion that lie
was the author of certain attacks on the U
nited States Bank in the London papers,and
also of a political letter from London, first
published in the Washington Globe. We
neither gave currency nor credit to the
charges, but -cheerfully aid in disseminating
the refutation. Mr. Stevenson honorably
remarks that, as Minister at a foreign Court,
the knows no parties nor divisions among his
countrymen and never interineddles with
American politics.
We presume Mr. Richard Rush was the
author of the letter in question.
NEW HAMPSIME.—The Annual Election
in this State has resulted in the success of
the regular Administration tickets for the
more important offices, with very little op.
position. Governor Hill was only opposed
by a small portion of his own party, who
were displeased with his course in relation
to the State's Surplus Revenue apportion
ment, which they wished rejected. The
ticket for Members of Congress had no op.
position, nor that for Council of State.—
Eleven of the twelve "regular" Senators
were likewise elected, but one of thorn is
opposed to the State Administration. The
dominant party have also elected more than
three-fourths of the Members of the more
popular branch of the Legislature.
VIAGINIA.—The Legislat+s re oft his State
has very judiciously changed tho times of
holding elections in that State, so that the
polls will be held in the several cities and
countielloa the fourth Thursday of April,
instead of transpiring irregularly throughout
the month, as circumstances or caprice may
dictate. On Thursday the 26th of April,
therefore, twenty-one Members of Congress,
eight State Senators, and one hundred and
thirty-three Delegates, will be elected by
the several Districts and Counties of the Old
Dominion.
The House of Delegates has at length
decided, after a debate of two months' dura
tion,to increase the Bank capital of the State
very materially. A new Bank,entitled "The
Exchange Bank of Virginia," is to be estab
lished at Norfolk, with a capital of $1,800,-
000, of which one half is subscribed by the
State, from her portion of the Surplus Rev
enue. Branches are to be located at Rich
mond, Petersburg, and Clarkesville. Be
sides this, we believe large additions aro
made to the capitals of the old Banks.
MARYLAND —The Legislature of this
State adjourned last week, after passing on
act reforming the State Constitution, and
thereby more nearly approximating an equal
representation. This retbrin will give the
friends ofthe National Administration nearly
twice their present strength in the next Le
gislature.
Boa. Andrew Stevenson.—The Globe of
Wednesday raps our Minister to London
over the knuckles for the tenor of his recent
detdal of any intermeddling with the Bank
question or other controverted topics since .
he went abroad. The Globe seems to con
sider Mr. Stevenson's disclaimer derogatory
'to Hon. Richard Rush, who is also in Lon
don as a special agent for the Government,
and who, it is distinctly stated, was the au
thor of the letter denouneitig the Pennsyl
vania charter of the U. S. Bank, the preface
tea London reprint of Mr. Van Buren's let
ter to Sherrod Williams, and various state
sman which have exerted a prejudicial in
flames upon American stocks in Europe.
ria Specie Order.—Several of the dai
,
article in the Globe, that Mr. Van Buren ig
aboutsto annul the Trt*Lamy - Order, on the
ground that it has accomplished all that it
was intended to do. We do not so under
stand that journal. It is evident to our mind
that neither the Globe nor any of the jour-
nals commonly reputed to share Mr. Van
Buren's confidence know any thing at all of
his intentions with regard to this important
matter.
Hon. Jere. 11' Lene, M. C. from the Co-
lumbus District, Ohio, died at Washington
on Monday night of the influenza, probably
taken at the Inauguration. He was a gen
tleman of great private worth, and was for
22 years Secretary of State of Ohio, and fur
the last four a Representative in Congress
frmn a District politically opposed to him.
He was superseded last October by the op
position on political grounds solely—politics
running higher in Ohio than before. He has
probably left no enemy.
Springfield, Sangamon county, has been
selected by the Legislature of Illinois as the
future and permanent Capital of that State.

John W. Willey, Esq. has been elected

The Floridians a re very wroth at the hasty
expressions of the late President, accusing
them of cowardice. Col. White has written
home an account of an interview in which
Gen. Jackson exclaimed, "Let the
cowards defend their country," that he could
take filly women, and whip every Indian
that had ever crossed the Suwauee, &c. &c

A Public Dinner was recently given to
Senators Calhoun and Preston at Charleston,

Our Legislature (New York) has con
cluded to adjourn the 2d of May. "Better
late than never." The Canal Commission
ers have reported against hastening the iin•
provoment of the Erie Canal. The report,
we presume, sets the matter at rest fur the
present. The bill to equalize the currency
by requiring the Safety Fund Banks to take
each other's notes is still slept on in the
Senate. We are surprised to see the Bank
interest brought to bear against this bill; for
we firmly believe it would extend their steady
circulation, as well as their general useful-
The rates of discount now paid in

Mr. Mack attempted last week to make this
bill for the relief of the whole community a
two-thirds bill! on what principle we cannot
imagine.
The Surplus Revenue Distribution Bill
has passed the Senate, as originally report
ed, the money to be apportioned among the
Counties, and loaned out by Loan Commis

ate. 'Fite interest accruing therefrom is to
be appropriated to Colleges and Schools.
Mr. Roosevelt has introduced a bill to re•
move all restrictions upon Sales by Auction.
It ought to pass, wo think, but it will not.
The bill to hang and quarter the repro
bates who circulate notes of a less amount
than five dollars, still lingers in the House.
The author lies not yet received a leather
medal. Various projects for making money
scarcer by suppressing all notes under $2O,
restricting Bank issues, &c. &c. are under
consideration.
Ex• Gov. Joseph C. Yates died at his resi

He was in turn succeeded by Gov. C. at the
close of his term.
A bill has phased both branches of the
Virginia Legislature, prescribing general

HARRISBURGIL March 24th, 1537.
DEAR SlR—This morning, on an incidental
question, Mr. FLANAGAN, of Franklin, made a
violent attack on the Rail Road from Philadelphia
to Hagerstown! He stated that some sections on
it would cost more than $2n0,000, with many
other statements of equal truth! He avows his
determination to defeat it if possible! Indeed, he
seems to have gone mad altogether by opposing
every body! Ho has destroyed all his influence,
as such ill natured men always will. What will
his neighbours of Wayncsburgh say to his con
duct?

Notwithstanding, the prejudices against ,
these paddles heretofore, he feels justifiable
in saying , that he hopes to gain the confi
deuce and patronage of the public—as he is
enabled, on the present principle, to ensure'
all his saddles without any extra charge.—
That a soft, easy saddle is desirable to all
persons who ride much, and particularly to
those who may nut be favored with a very
pleasant horse; I presume all persons will
unhesitatingly patronize the spring saddles,
when they will be ensured as long as the
put chaser may deem necessary.
The elasticity of the Saddle acting in har
mony with the symetry of the horse and
rider, not only affords case to the man, but
incalculable advantage to the horse. All
persons of judgment and experience must
know, that a dead, unelastic weight on a
hors 9 is oppressive. The Spring in the
Girth offinds the following advantages: Ist
Moving or yielding with the horse's chest in
breathing, no cramps or cholics or any dis
ease can rise therefrom. 2d. The girth will
outlast two or three of the common kind,
because the yielding oft he spring on the sud
den expansion of the chest prevents the girth
from lit caking-, and saves the rider from fall
ing; many falls have been the frui:s of break
ing girths.
GENTLEMEN and LADIES are invi
ted to apply, as the little difference in the
cost of these and the hard Saddles is so tri
fling, and incomparable with the difference
in conitiirt and safety.
N. B. Saddlers in the country can he
accommodated with Township or Shop
Rights at a trifling cost.

About two years ago I' was severely afflicted
with the dyspepsia,which I had fur the last fifteen
years, previous to the above named time, which
was very much increased by my having n blood
vessel ruptured upon my lungs,occasioned by lift
ing—which increased toy coinplaint, dyspepsia
and general weakness and debility to such a de
gree, that for two years previous to iity using the
Garlegant Balsam, I never eat a meal but my
stomach became so painful that I had immediate
ly to throw it up. Seeing Garlogant's Balsam of
Health advertised, I was induced to try a.bottle;
after taking the very first dose it appeared to
strengthen my stomach; and every dose of the
first bottle helped me su much, that in the course
of a few days my stomach begun to retain and di
gest every thing I eat. I continued to use the
Balsam until I used seven bottles, which cured
rue entirely, and restored me to perfect health,
which I have enjoyed ever since, and not before
for fifteen years. I cheerfully recommend it to
all persons who are afflicted with dyspepsia or de
bihty of stomach. Given under sny hand this Ilth

a call, having had very good success in cur
ing Rheumatism; and having within the
short space of time that he has been here
had upwards of forty cases of Rheumatism
under treatment, and having given relief in
every case, and fulled in but five or six cases
of performing a complete cure—and some
of these were through neg:ect on their part;
and others to the long standing of the dis
ease, so that no perfect cure could be expec
ted. He would, therefore, invite those af
flid.ed with Rheumatic painsto give him a
call, and satisfy themselves. Not desiring
those who are unacquainted with him to re
ly on his statement, but to come into his
neighborhood and enquire of those who
know, and satisfy themselves before they
employ him.
Dr. Carpenter still continues to reside at
his former residence in Liberty township,
two miles North of Eininittsburgli, and two
miles from Rhodes Mill, on Middle-creek.
