miscellaneous. FOR. TIIE TREE TRESS. ACROSTIC. Can mortal man, cndow'd with nature's head, Arrest the dart, -which hy Miss C is sped; Raised by her look, exalted bv her spell, On her sweet charms who could not ever dwell? Look, traverse creation thro' and thro', In Georgian climes or thro' Bartholomew; Never, oh! ne'er such beauty shall you find, Endow'd with such a mien nor such a mind. Sweet, oh! how charming her seraphic tonsue, That mocks description and adorns the song; Enraptur d by its glowing melody, Lo! who'd not wish, have such with many a sieh. Fair as the morn of spring her beauteous face, And fairer still her eye of every grae. In this lower earth, if one still higher there be Remov'd from her, what pleasure could a lover see. EUKOPHILOS. THE BACHELOR'S REVERIE. 'Mongst taverns and chop-houses, though 1 may stray, I can't find employment to kill the dull day. A curse on the town seems of late to have come! I see nothing I want, so I slowly poke home! Home! home! dull, dull home! A fico for home! a fico for home! When absent from home, how delightful to see, So many old bachelors as wretched as me. They will prose about prices, with phizzes of gloom, Then with hands crossed behind them, they creep along home! Home! home! humdrum home! There's no fun at home! there's no fun at home! manas 01 uicpuuuosuvi. ; .17 . r . vuulvati0 than an aid to an administration, have not, I am persuaded, explo red the full extent and range of this powerful engine, in the mag nitude which it has, at present, attained. Having been led by narticular circumstances, during the last session of Congress, to look into this subject, I will re peat here the result of an investi gation then very carefully made. Many persons have hastily suppo sed that the patronage of the Ex ecutive consisted exclusively in appointments to office. But an equally, if not more important branch of jwtronagc, consists in the disposition of public moneys through t ho medium of contracts made under the direction of the Executive. Both of these bran ches were included in an estimate of the amount of Executive pa tronage made by Mr. Gallatin in '99, and I took the list of items, enumerated by him, as the basis of my calculation. In doing this, I found that the "annual pay of the office; 3 in the several departments of the Trea sury, State, War, and Navy, and their dependencies; of the Attor ney General, and Postmaster Ge neral, Judges, Marshals, and Dis trict Attorneys, Officers of the Customs, Postmasters; of Diplo matic characters.

Married, at the market-house, in this city, (says the Georgia Cou rier,) at 5 o'clock yesterday after noon, by J. W. Meredith, Esq. Mr. Bright Prichett to Miss Eli za Cole. The above pair were emigrating from North-Carolina, and became first acquainted with each other "on the long road to Georgia." They were bound to different sections of the country, and finding that the road forked at Augusta, the idea of a separa tion was intolerable, so enamour ed had they become of each other on their journey. J hey had halt ed in front of the market, when their disconsolate situation was whispered to some of our citizens the news soon became general, and in a short period several hun dreds of our people, from gene rals and aldermen, colonels and 'squires, down to the little boys ofi the city, gathered around and all agreed that Mr. Bright and Miss Eliza should be one. A subscription was instantly raised to pay the license fee, and our worthy feqmrc ol the V2zd dis- of tobacco, in the state of York, as a profitable crop writer in the Rochester ) , Telegraph, mentions, as tljj suit ui uu experiment made h him last summer, that it is a rn productive crop than any Bo raised in the western counties the State.

Here, then, we have an increase of ex penditure equal to 350 per cent, in less than 25 years, which, after making every allowance for the growth of the country, and the ex pansion of its institutions, does seem to me to be disproportionate and extravagant. "Sir, I may have fears upon this subject, which firmer minds can, and do repel; but it has long been my opinion, that there is a deci ded tendency in our government to a dangerous and disproportion ate accumulation of power in the Executive branch, and that Mon archy is the euthanasia of our po litical system. Gentlemen who treat these fears as altogether vi sionary, and those especially, who, like the distinguished member from Pennsylvania, consider pa- sun;, consider its possession a dis advantage to those who enjoy it.
