From the Suuthcrn Field and Firctiiic. THE BANISHED SOS. A TATTpr A T A P T " A BV MARENGO. A number of year. eo there stood on the batiks of the romantic Alabama, qiirt end beautiful cottage. It delicate portico waa all overhung witb vine., covered witb filter thit ladened tbe air with tbeir turret perfume. Iu front, atrrtchini; toward tbe river, was a ft)! grove, tastefully laid out it) walk", and tbe sweet flower:) planted here and tberc at random, made ever ytlnrii' look cheerful and happy. The very bird seemed to love to linger around, aud made, tbo air merry with tbeir songs. Hut DotwithMaiidirjg the romance and beauty that clung around this cottaqe, jet ii innate were happy. Their tale was abort and sad. Col. StafT.-nl had married in early life and ti.utd to Alabama, where he bad accumulated a considerable, fortune.1 He was, at the time our story opens, tbe father of two children, a boy and a pirl. ' Even iu early lite Col.

Ob, cruel thought ! lie Vowed L aching bead upon bis bands and wept lonp at.d bitterly, rresently be grew calm and his thoughts turned to tbe future. But all was blackness and chaos. Not a singl htar of bope was visible in that horizon to beekoti Imu ou. Ills father bad placed in bis hnn.. a parse ooniainiDg thousand dollars but directed, yea, cotumaniled hi never n future to let biui bear from him either ly message or letter, but we must pass , detuiis of and go to the maiii rin'ir1 i 1 Linlorr.

Five long years passed, and each day Rabert bad sank deeper into wretcbeduess and vice. II bad not during this time heatd one word from borne, nor bad they In' ii id from bim. Many nights bo bad slept in miserable alleys, and longed for ciust of bread to satisfy bis huuecr. It was iu july iu 1815, that Gen. Taylor, pas.ad through New Orleans on his way to ttie 1 exau frontier. As might be expected, a gn at exeuem'Mit prevailed in the Cres cent city, and many voluuteura joined the army. Among the first of these was Robert f tan .nl. Oeu. luylor, after a short stay lu the city, embarked with the army, and Ian-d-d ou St. Joseph's Island, from which point be again embarked for Corpus Christ!, near the . outb of the Nueces, and there he estab lished bis bead quarters, September, l l-J. Here a.'aiu Robert was pluu.'ed headlong into vice. Ab, how different were bis a-o ciales tiow to those of five years ago ! Now, instead of highly cultivated aud educated men, instead of a father, uiolber and si.-ler, be had for companions tbe rude uncultiva ted soiditrj of the " Army of Occupation." But it is uot to be supposed that he bud en tirely forgotten his former positiou ; for of ten, while indulging iu some scheme of wick eduess, Le would stop a moment and shed a tear for those who had loved bim. Although Taylor subjected bis array t the severest discipline during the winter, yet those who wished it bad plenty of time 1 tor licentiousness j The whiter at ltngtb passed, and on tbe t-th of March the camp wa. brokett up at , Corpus Chrieti, and a portion of the army ,'rrN.u.,l uiLi Kin l.r.i.Hp. nrrasite M'a- moras, biid another portion to Point Isabel. The march towards Matamoras was a drea ry one, aud the army was threatened by Mexicans wbo thronged tho cnipiiral througk which they passed. Hut again we will leave off details, and pass ou to an event plorieus, vet bloody tbe battle of 1'alo A io. It is tbe 8th of May, 1816. Gen. Taylor bat Li r .

Thus he lay for hours, until at last the dawn of reason eanie over his mind again. " Wnter I tenter !" be cried, but his on ly answer was the long, dreadful ery of the ackall as be feeds upon some of tbe dead.

Tbe sun was just sinking in the western sky, and the rippling waters of the Alabama reflected its last rayt. Tbe gentle breeze was baimy witb the breath of flowers, and the gay brids made the woods merry with their last evening song.
