LIFE. J?y James G. Brook. Life -hath its sunshine; bul the ray Which fhshes on its stormy wave Is but the beacon of decay, A meteor beaming o'er the grave; And though its dawning hour is bright With fancy's gayest coloring, Yet o'er its cloud encumbered night Dark ruin flaps his raven wing. Life hath its flowers; and what are they ! Thy sting relentless memory! Which wakes not, pierces not, until The hour of joy hath ceased to be; Then, when the heart is in its pall, And cold affection gathers o'er, Thy mournful anthem doth recall Bliss which hath died to bloom no more. Life hath its blessings; but the storm Sleeps like the desert wind in wrath, To sear and blight the loveliest form Which sports on earth's deceitful path; O! soon the wild heart's broken wail So changed from youth's delightful tone, Floats mournfully upon the gale, When all is desolate and lone. Life hath its hopes; a fleeting dream, A canker'd flower, a setting sun, Which casts a transitory gleam Upon the even clouds of dun; Pass hut an hour that dream hath fled, The flowers on earth forsaken lie! The sun hath set, whose lustre shed A light upon the shaded sky. From the Ohio Repository. SWEET HOME ADIEU. Farewell my home, a long farewell, Sequestered spot adieu; No tongue my present grief can tell, No words can speak them true: The fatal day at last has dawn'd, That bids me part from you, Each moment- warns me to be gone, My home, sweet home, adieu. My fleeting hours of bliss are past, Caus'd by my wish to rove; These present moments fly as fast As I from here remove; And when departed faraway, No more your charms to view .... nvnu win olten sigii My home, sweet home, adieu Time, time may dry the briny tear, That lingers on my cheek, Yet memory oft my heart will tear, In some strange land to weep: Once more I'll turn my tearful eyes, To take a glimpse of you, While a full heart of sorrow sMis My home, sweet home, adieu. of the Guard, on an expedition we under- J JEJSIIY JOHNSTOJ rinoinn 1 nf thn flin- I OlilUU 11111,31, WJ I iuvjiui i v..w ' rokee Nation at the Head of Coosa, on a charge of passing some laws at the late Council appointing some sheriffs and constables in Ahmohee and Aquohee dis tricts.

News from the West. We understand that letters have been received from Gen. Scott, who had reached Cincinnati on the Dlh inst. on his return to New York. On the lst ult. he signed an important treu- y me uoay ot the Sue and Fox In dians and on the 23d and 24th, put all the iroops in motion for their former re spective stations. We understand, that by the treaty with the feacs and Foxes, Black Hawk, the Prophet and 11 other principal chiefs and leaders of the same, or Hostile Band, are to be held as hostages for the future good conduct of their band, during the pleasure of the President of the United cs We have gained a fine country oUO miles on the Mississippi, and of an average depth of 53 miles, worth in 30 years $10,000,000. This was taken partly on the principle of conquest, to in demnify the expences of the war, and partly on the principle of purchase. The United States are to pay $20,000 annu oily for 30 years making 8600.000. nnrl about $45,000 in other forms which will make in 30 years, $645,000.

The Cherokee Phte n.x 8ay8:TGen. Coffee, commander of the Georgia Guards, sent a detachment New Invention. We have witnessed within a few days past, a Torpedo to be used in blowing up houses during a fire, it is very simple and we doubt not it will be found to answer the purpose in tended without the usual risk attending such operations; it is made of tin, in a cy lindrical form. Its length is about 14 in ches, its diameter 13. On the side. there is a tube communicating with the inside of the cannister, through which the pow der is deposited and the match is secured. The match is about sixty feet long, and is kept in a state of preservation by a box which is formed on the side of the Torpe do, surrounding the tube. The box is of sufficient dimensions to contain the match when properly wrapped up. It was in vented by the Rev. Jarvis B. Buxton, Rector of St. John's church, in this place. We are pleased to learn that our. Police have taken measures to supply the town with a number of this highly useful (as we think) invention. Faycttevillc Journal. The ttaptists. The Philadelphia!! states that a Baptist Association met in Orange county, IS'. C. not long since, and passed the following resolution almost unanimously: "On motion, resolved that this Associ tion disapprobate the societies of the day, viz: tlje Bible Society, the Tempe rance Society, the Tract Society, the Sunday School Society, the Missionary Society, the Baptist Convention, and all religious newspapers.". Charge of Libel. John Reynolds, a clergyman of the Methodist denomina tion, was arraigned on Thursday in the Municipal Court of Boston, on an indict ment for a libel upon William Apes, a co lored man, professing to be a minister of the same church. The indictment char ges the defendant with having published in the Boston Commercial Gazette, an article alleging that the said Apes was a deceiver and impostor, guilty of crimes and ofiences, and buying lottery tickets, and misappropriating money collected by him from religious persons for charitable purposes. Mr. Reynolds appeared and avowed himself the author of the article, and pleaded Not Guilty. The case was postponed to the next term of the Court, to enable the defendant to provide for Ins defence. Match Race. The New York Stand ard of ihe 15th says: The match race, on Long Island, hmween Virginia Tay lor and Miss Mattie, 4 mile heats, for $2,000, came oft yesterday; the first heat was tolerably well contested, but Miss Mattie won with ease. It was evident af ter the heat, that ihe Southern horse was much distressed. Upon the call for the second heat, there appeared to be much delay; we atone time supposed the Sou thern horse would have been withdrawn. She appeared however to revive when brought to the stand. The start was a pretty one, and the Southern mare got the track she retained it but a short time, and after one or two unsuccessful attempts to take the lead, Miss Mattie bade her a final "good bye," and about half way on the last mile, as she would not answer whip or spur, her rider walk ed her off the cousc.

Raleigh, August 2, 1S32. FHOFOSAIiS, For publishing weekly in the City of Raleigh an Agricultural Newspaper under the name and style of the Farmer's and Planter's Half Sheet. Our motto is, "Agriculture is the great art which everr proprietor of land ought to practise; everv statesman to patronise, and every individual of the human family to consider as the chief employment of hisspieces." Dr. Johnson. rjHlS Agricultural paper, will be modelled af ter one conducted in Fiance with eminent success, by the Count Lasleyrie, (Lafayette's son-in-law) and another in England by an asso ciation of gentlemen, styled "The Farmer's Weekly Visitor." They are both Half Sheets. The object of so curtailing the dimensions, is to prevent that ennui and fatigue, always produced by too great a bulk of intellectual matter. Wo will not say a word in regard to the reat ne cessity of improving our agriculture, that is ad mitted; but it is of great importance, that im provements now confined to particular neighbor hoods, should be more generally known, and we propose, as it were through a speaking trump, to proclaim them through all Ihe land. In addition we hope to publish a paper into the columns of which, the agricultural citizen, heated and vex ed in the dust and whirlwind of the great hih road of "general politics," may turn as to a par terre, gay with flowers and adorned with refresh ing fountains. Not one word of politics sha enter the columns of our exclusively agricul tural Journal. There are a few other papers of an Agricultural type, published in the United Stales, but they are too local in their nature and do not sufficient ly discuss those "matters and things," which ap- 'PritaiJ.t0 Ur farminS planting interests. Ihe Editor himself, has been a practical 'cultiva tor of all the staples of the South, and he has the promised co-operation of many of the most weal thy and extensive Planters and F South. From them he will receive communica tions of great value, detailing the "modus ope randi" of their management. The "Half Sheet" will be issued as soon as a specified number of subscribers are obtained. 1 ostmasters and others to whom suubscription lists arc, and will be sent, will be allowed the usual commissions upon collections. The terms of the "Half Sheet" will be ONE DOLLAR ALWAYS in advance. The Editor at present resides in an adjacent State, but Will hf in F?alpirli oKrn !-. c.t rtP January proximo. OLIVER RIG HARDS
