From the Union Magazine. THE THRIVING FAMILY A SONG. BT MltS. L. H SISOCIIXET. Our father lives in Washington, And has a world of cares, But gives his children each a farm. Enough for them and theirs, Full thirty well-grown sons has he, A numerous race indeed. Married and settled, all, d'ye sec, With boys and girls to feed. And if wc wisely till our lands, We're sure to earn a living, And have a penny, too, to spare, For spending or for giving. A thriving family are we. No Iordling need deride us. For we know how to use our hands, And in our wits we pride us : Hail, brothers, hail, Let nought on earth divide us. Some of us dare the sharp north-east, Some, clover fields are moving ; And others tend the cotton plants That keep the looms a-going : Some build and steer the white-winged ships, And few in speed can mate them While others rear the corn and wheat, Or grind the flour to freight them. And if our neighbors o'er the sea, Have e'er an empty larder, To send a loaf their babes to cheer, We'll work a little harder. No old nobility have we, No tyraLt-king to ride us ; Our Sages in the Capi ol Enact the laws that guide us: Hail, brothers, hail, Let nought on earth divide us. Some faults we have we can't deny A foible, here and there ; But other households have the same, And so we'll not despair. 'Twill do no good to fume and frown, And call hard namps, you sec, And 'twere a burning shame to part So fine a family. 'Tis tut a waste of time to fret, Since Nature made us one, For every quarrel cuts a thread That healthful love has spun. So draw the cords of union fast, Whatever may betide us ; And closer cling through every blast. For many a storm has tried us : Hail, brothers, hail Let nought on earth divide us ! Our Naval Force. According to the offi cial reports we now have in commission 5 ships of the line, 1 razee, 4 frigates, 13 sloops, 6 brigs, 11 schooners, 4 , bomb gun vessels, 1 ordnance transport, l$ steamers, 6 store ships total 83. Vessels in ordinary Nov. 1847 1 ship of the line, 8 frigates, 10 sloops of war, 2 steamers toal 21. The official estimates for the laval service, the coming year amount to over $1 0,000,000, besides $6000,000 for the marine corps. Baltimore Clipper. . .. N. C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1 848. THE EXPERIENCE or a DOWN-EASTER. Some weeks ago, a very long brown down Easter, attired in one of those costumes which are now nowhere to be met with except upon i ..... ... me stage, a tall bell-crowneu wftite hat, short waisted blue coat, with enormous pewter but- ions, a vest as " valler" as a barberry bios- 6om, and a pair of corduroys, whose hiirhest ambition seemed to be, to maintain their as- cendancy over an enormous pair of cowhides that had trodden many a hundred miles of losr- &:ng- paths, " miebt have been seen' jack- knife and shinele in hand, wendintr his wav up Lone: Wharf, in the realization of his life- long anticipations of " seein" Boston. At the corner of Merchant's Row, his progress was arrested by the lumbering transit of a two sto- ry house on wheels drawn by half a dozen yoke of oxen, with the people inside pursuing their usual avocations. " What on airth is that ere.;" he asked of a bystander. ' "Oh, nothing," replied the" townev." "the lolks are all moving, that's all. When we move down here, vre An it hnns? nn.-l all " "Jerusalem!

" Oh, they use elephants for moving such large buildings. And how many elephants will 't take ?" " Upwards of a hundred." The Yankee cut a deep gash in his shingle, and walked on. He next inquired for the Adams House, for he had " heerd tell" of that, and was determined to Drosrress durine his iu- venilitv. aware of the impossibility of doing so at a more advanced are. He soon found the " tavern" and the " dea- con," and ordered accommodations liberally, " darning the expense." Having "slicked up" a little, he witnessed with some amazement the operations of a servant on a gong, simply re marking that he know'd what sheet lightnin' was. but this was the first, tinrw-. hn'd ever heerd of sheet thunder." He followed the crowd into a dining hall and was ushered to a seat, where he enscon- sed himself, tucked his towel under his chin with a sort of desberation. as if he was eointr to be shaved or scalped. 1 he stent ol the covered dishes added to his amazement. O - I Dod dern it!" he exclaimed. ef I ever heerd of cookin' on the table ! But here they've - gone and sot tin kitchens all over the lot. Whar's the fire to come from that's what I'd like to know?" He got along with his soup very well, and was Dausinfr for his breath, before, he finished it. when a waiter snatrhd his elate awav and was running on with it ... - I " Hallo! 3ou sir !" vociferated the Yankee " I see you fetch that ere back quicker'n link lightnin', or else you'll have your head punched !" His plate was returned, and he finished hisj soup with dignity. After waiting a moment he raised his voice again and summoned the offending waiter sternly. " Cakelate to starve me ?' " No, sir." " Wall why don't you fetch on pome fresh fodder darn ye ?" " There's the carte, sir. " Where's the cart? And what in thunder am I to do with the cart when I've got it?- Look ouf, you pesky sarpint or you'll catch it.". " The bill of fare." " I don't pay me bill till I have had my fodder." The waiter humbly explained the meaning. " What's all these crack-jaw names. Give me something plain and hearty biled corn beef, and fetch it about the quickest, while I look over the paper and see what else I'll hev." " Hold on!" was the next order. " What's this here! M-a-c-a!" Read it, won't you, sir ?" " Maccaroni, sir." " All right, cap'n. Hurry it up." The dish was brought. " You eternel cuss !" roared the down-Eaa- ter, "ef 1 haint as great a mind as ever I had to kerwhollon ve. and make an example of ye on the spot. Whatde ye mean by runnin' your rigs on me jest because I'm a stranger in these parts ? Take away your oiled pipe- stems, and fetch us some cabbage. That's right And now, squire, some vinegar. Vinegar's in the castor, sir .'" replied the waiter, and made good his retreat. " In the castor, is it. hey ?" soloquised the Yankee. " And where m thunder is the cas tor ?" The young man opposite pushed it towards him. Me looked at it took the stopper out of the vinegar, and taking up the castor by the bottom, turned it up. But all the cruets mani fested a desire to illustrate the laws of gravity and leap from their locations, and the Yankee was compelled to set it down again. "Jerusalem!" he exclaimed. " This here is a curious contrivance, and no mistake. How on airth am I to get at the tamel vine gar ? I'll try once more." Again he canted the castor, but this time all the stopples tumbled out. " Thunderation !" he roared; 'here's apret- rotor all in my gravy, and The darned red lead on my cabbage, and the yeller on my 'tater. Darn the thing, I say." Mr fripnrt " en id the pentlcmn onnosite. with a strong control over his risible muscles, "it appears to me that if I were in want of vinegar, I should have taken the vinegar cru- . . , - - o II w i-."tt i et out of the stand, ana ny mat should avoid all trouble.'' means I Here the whole com pan-, wai ers and all, burst into a convulsive nt of laughter. The Yankee rose in rage, upsetting his chair, and glaring defiance at histieighbors. "How in the name ot ait tne eternal cus ses in creation," he yelled, "should I know anything about the way the darn thing work ed when I never seed one of 'em before ? You've hatched this up agin' me I know it Whar's the landlord ? Fetch your bill on I'll get out of this. I hain't eat ten cents nmrth hut I'M av up like a book, and cuss and nnit. And if I ever set out to eat a meal of vittles in Boston town again, you may take my hue and tan it. Darn your castors -and vnnr ras tor ile. and you, too, me and all !" and flinging down a dollar on the table, he seized his white bell-top from the hand of the trembling waiter, and vamosetl. Down Wash ington and State streets, he streaked it like a comet, and never slacked his pace till he pul led up on board the Kennebec. "Cao'n said ne w 'ic Mimmauuci, - off your lines jest as quick as you're amine to -and ef you eaten me wai.uS iu cc uiu.. again, jest take me by the slack and throw me right into that ere biler, boots and all, by gravy!"

The Council of Four CASE OF PETTY LARCENY. Police Office Before his Honor, the Mayor. The first case called this morning, was that of John C. Calhoun, charged with stealing some " no-territory doctrine," the property of Henry Clay. The prisoner, who was a seedy, lank, and lantern-jawed individual, denied the charge. The first witness called was Mr. Clay, who deposed that he was the possessor of a parcel of " no-territory doctrine," the same used against Mr. Jefferson, when he proposed the purchase of Louisiana; and afterwards against Messrs. Tyler and Poik, in the Texas busi ness. It was in tolerably good condition. He had observed the accused prowling about his premises, on the evening of the. loss, and had kept his eye on him. bhortly after he disap peared, and on coming to look for his proper ty, he (Mr. Clay) lound it wasn t there. He immediately raised a hue-and-cry, and found the prisoner in the Senate Chamber, actually offering the stolen property to the country, under the name of " Resolutions." Mr. Colquitt, one of the police, stated that he knew the prisoner at the bar, and was for merly intimate with him. Of late the prison er's character had become so bad that he was obliged to cut the prisoner's acquaintance. This Calhoun had been getting worse and worse, for some time, and had actually asso ciated himself with such people as Yulee and Westcott. He had taken several things which did not belong to him. before this, and was al ways in some difficulty or other; but was gen erally supposed to be a little cracked. I he prisoner, on being asked what he h-td to say to the charge, replied that he thought he had a right to the properly. It evidently was doing Mr. Clay a deal of harm, and it was an act of charity to put the means of self- destruction out of his reach. Mr. Clay was, himself, of unsound mind. He had made a speech at New Orleans, wherein he had spo ken of the wrongs inflicted on us by Mexico, and had said he would like to slay a Mexican; H af war with Mexico. No sane man would do that. In short, Mr. Clay was decidedly an improper person to be trusted with such dan gerous property as the " no-territory doctrine." t,v ii . .i. : : ins tionor aiu uiciy. me prisoner was evi dently an ingenious rogue, as his defence pro ved, and not to be permitted to roam about do ing mischief. He asked him what was his business. The prisoner replied, that he was a turner by profession, that is to say he turned nip flaps for a living. His last effort in that way, from " War for the sake of Texas," to " Peace and no indemnity," had attracted universal ad miration. The prisoner was committed to answ the next election.

The Washington cor respondent of the Philadelphia North Ameri can says : The subject chosen by Mr. Powell is a no ble one the discovery of the Mississippi by De Sort) and if he succeeds in transferring to the canvass the sketch he has drawn, without imparing its spirit in the extension of coloring, he will surpass the expectations of his friends and win for himself an honorable niche in the temple of fame. The point of time selected by the artist is the moment when-De Soto reached the high Chickasaw b!uf&, in the vicinity of Natchez, which overlook the river and command an ex tended view of its windings.

THE FALL OF THE FLOWER Or, the difficulty between Mr. $Mrs. Flidens. Fred. Flickens was a small man in itiatnr but remarkably stout. He prided himelf nn. on the broadness of his hack, and the beautv or nis jezs. in an evu nour ne met with Miss Augusta Sniff. Th young lady wound her charms around him, even as the spider winds its web around the unsuspecting fly. There were many amorous cooings several r . . ... . .. pieces oi poetry written, and men tne parson ami a gold ring concluded the matrimonal ar rangement. Mr. and Mrs. Flickens were the pinks of perfection in love for the first few months of their marriage. After this time, however, Flickens took to poik nnd politics. and used to come home at a very late hour of the night very much ' how come von so.' 4 Augusta,' said Mr. Flickens, night before ast, I'm home. I've been to a political meet ing, and 1 settled the aflairs of the country. The war question (get me my pipe, my dear,) was a hery aflair then we went on the Wil mot Proviso (and. dear, give me a plate with some sardines.) But if vou had heard me peak about England and America (a little red pepper and some mustard, love) yen would have been astonished. I was applauded to the echo, and then ' ' Yes,' said Mrs. F..as she threw herself on the sofa, in a theatrical attitude, and then you got drunk, and you come home this way every night. Oh, Fred ! it is cruel to treat me in this manner ! You'll he the dMtb of m I know vou will !' Now, Augusta,' said Mr. Flickens in an authoritative tone, and a! the same time punch in one of the prongs of the fork into his lip don't talk to me in that style. Ain't I struggling for the interests of the country don't I combat with the opponents of the Ad ministration in tne arena ot eloquence, and who knows but that one of these days I may be walking up Pennsylvania Avenue in the direction of the Capitol ! Now wouldn't you be proud to see me in a big blue cloth cloak, lined inside with red velvet, walking arm in arm with some one of the Senators ? Then to hear the reporters speak of me in the newspa pers as the talented and distinguished gentle man from ' Yes,' said Mrs. F., 'I wish you were in the same place that you came from it would suit you better than this world.' What place is that ?' inquired Mr. F., as he caught the tail of a sardine between his teeth, and held up his fork like another Nep tune with trident m hand. Mrs. F. said nothing, hut pointed down wards, and in so doing let a flower fall. Who gave you that flower?' exclaimed Flickens, in a voice of thunder. Mrs. F. whimpered, and placing Tier hand kerchief before her eyes, replied rHe don't go to political meetings he comes home reg ularly every night to his poor old mother and brings her fried oysters.' Who gave you that flower ?' again ex claimed Flickens in the tones of Forrest when he asks Desdemona for the handkerchief that nn Egyptian to his mother gave. That young man that you brought to dinner last Sunday,' replied Mrs. F., sobbing as if her heatt would break. Flickens faid Damn !' vowed that he would burn up his portrait and drown his youngest child. He cursed all the servants in the house, and kicked his Favorite dog, but fi nally, after going to the sideboard, and taking a stiff horn of brandy, came to the conclusion that he wouldn't go to any more political meet ings at night, for fear of catching cold. THE BRIDGE AT THE FALLS OF NI AGARA. I have been intensely interested to-day in listening to a description, from a well inform ed and competent eource, of the great bridge over the gorge that separates the dominions of the Queen from that of the President. If any thing could be wanting to turn thither the tour oi the multitudes in the pleasure season, this bridge will supply it. Its thousand of tons of the strongest iron cord that the ingenuity of the iron-master can devise, find a safe support in wrought iron anchors, built in the solid rock one hundred feet below the surface, so that before it could yield, the very rock-bound earth would forsake its tenacity. A large wooden frame-work is to be placed so that no undulating' motion can be experienced. In full sight of the cataract, the surge of angry waters far beneath, the sullen storm-beaten rocks all around, the quick locomotive will put forth all its quickness to ru;h beyond the peril of its journey. This glorious work is already begun, the money for its cost paid in and available, the excavations commenced, and the contractor is to pass on horseback by the middle of next June. Its lirmnessis to be such that, with all the burthen of a powerful locomotive and a Jong attendant train of cars, it is not to vibrate one inch in the centre. The railway is to occupy the centre, two carriage ways on either side, and two foot-ways. What a magnificent spectacle this road in full use will present ! A road of this kind o ver the Menai Straits in Wales is famous for the daring displayed in its construction That over the Niagara will noon be world-famed. It will be an iron link of civilization between the ruling powersof the world, and will never be severed. One of the first thoughts that presents itself in reference to the construction is as to how the wires are to be thrown across. The steam boat now used below the Falls is to take over the two cables, to which strands of iron are affixed. These are to be drawn over till two ropes of iron are drawn over, on which a tem porary path is to be placed : and when I in fitiired where workmen could be found that had nerve enough to work effectually under such circumstances, the Answer, so character istic of American strength of action, was, " Oh, there are always plenty of Yankees who have both the courage .o work there and the ingenuity-to work well." The great railway in Canada, which is to connect with this mighty work, presents some admirable features. Its grade is over twenty feet, and a very large proportion of the dis- er at tance is on a straight iine. On one line, per fectly straight, ninely miles are laid out. All the highways ot ins country are to pass esiner over or under the road, by depression or ele vation as to be entirely removed, so that there will be neither obstacle or hinderance to a flight which will put more life into the pro vincial dominion of her Britannic Majesty than it has yet seen. England expends millions on sections of her great dominion far less worthy of her notice and fostering care. "The last link" is complete when this great bridge of the cataract shall have been comple ted. From Boston and from NeiOork an unbroken line is presented, and the day is soon coming when some correspondent of yours will delineate the incidents of a thirty hours journey from the metropolis to Detroit. Such are the movements and the progress in support of which all may unite, and which mark no distant day. .JV. Y. Courier If Enquirer.

Scotf Twiggs and Shields, with an escort of dragoons, and: the 2d and 7th infantry, made an excursion trV t ?k the ancient Az,ec cit ad 1 joined !, .Ahut two miles from Puebln a laugha ble incident occurred, though it well nigh en ded in a tragedy. The infartry were ascend- . ing an easy slop,, when two Mexican came" along with a powerful bull, which one of them held by a lasao over the horns. whiW the other urged him along with a goad. Th animal became restive as the soldiers passed, and finally breaking away from those who neia mm, cnargea tne lelt flank, carrying a mmuici uiruugti me nuiKB on nis horns; nnd landing him in the mud on the opposite side of the load. The two rxico finally got hold of the lasso again, and were getting him along very well, when four of us civilians came a- on horses. Then he began to plunge and paw the ground, and one of the Mexicans who got in front of the beast to beat him still. was tossed clear over the bull's back. The infuriated creature then Ditched into; the other, and throwing him in about two feet of mud and water, gored and ducked him for several seconds. All the horsemen rode up' and succeded in driving the animal from hi prey, -hen he turned and put after us, more' furious than ever. As we had no arms. nnJ lid not choose to have our horses ruined. there was some pretty " tall walking" for a short distance The animal ran rlmvn tb column til! near the head of the 7th Regiment. .lnu men cnargea again, making a pretty wide uicttvii iii me raiiKs. niter satisiymg mmseit that the 7th was " no where" when he was about, he made a rush on the 2d. The bovs had time to fix their bayonets, however, nnd met our friend so cool), that after receiving nve or six bayonet wounds, he hauled off and gave up the battle. In a few moments I navy him lassoed by a horseman and pulled along towards the city, bleading profusely and look ing quite crest fallen. He had evidently been deceived in his first charge, and seeing no bay onets, probably did not reckon on finding any in his second splurge. But he can (if the butchers have not killed him, which I strong ly suspect ,)console himself with the fact that he made more consternation among two regi ments of U. S. Infantry than a thousand two legged Mexicans could have done. The Way in which French Wine it Made. ' M. Lalande, Secretary of the Free Trade As sociation of Bordeaux, communicates in last Sunday's Enconomist the following: Wine is made in a very simple and cheap manner. I shall mention the simplest, which by many persons is also considered the best. When the grapes are ripe they are gathered, and placed either with or without the stalks in large vats, where they ferment during a fevr days from eight to fifteen. At the end of that period, and when a great fermentation has taken place and ceased, the wine is entire ly in the lower part of the vat, and the other parts of the grape are at the top of it. The wine is drawji from the vats and placed in casks. There it must be nllowed to remain for some time without being disturbed. After three or four months have elapsed, even before, very often, immense quantities begin to be consumed by the working classes iu our country, and by far the greater propor tion of a year's growth is thus consumed du ring the twelve following months. But wine to be consumed by the middle and rich classes must be kept in cellars for several years (front 3 to 6 years) in casks, and require no other care than to be drawn once or twice a-year from the casks, in order to separate the tfifte from the dregs. When by such simple pro cess and after a certain time wine has becorrfe sufficiently old it is drawn from the casks and put in bottles. The longer French wine re mains in the bottle the better it is. Its quali ty is thereby improved to an extraordinary de' gree. J The Title of Czar. The orthography of this word has so varied of late, as to deserve a moment's attention. Formerly it was al ways written czar; but the custom of tzar, ot tsar, has been gradually gaining ground,- as being the only form which truly represents the Russian pronunciation. The roles write it car, but pronounce it tsar like the Russian1, their c being equivalent to ts, not as with tis to k. The French now write tsar, but pro nounce ilgzar; the Germans can only express the word by a character which has a harsh sound, composed of t and s united. It has been pretty generally received that the word czar is an etymological abbreviation" of the word Caesar, emperor. But a fatal ob jection is met with to this etymology, in the old Sclavonic version of the New Testament, where ihe title of Casar, is always represen ted by Kessar of Kecar, while that of tsar is simply given to kings. Peter the Great acknowledged the difference between tsar and Caesar, by substituting the title of Cesarevna to that of tsarevna, which had been given, up to that period, to the roy al princesses. Catherine II. first adopted the title of cesarevitch for the heir-presumptive. This termination of vitch (not witz nor wciz) in the feminine evna, or ovna, is pa tronymic. Banker's Magazine.
