Scarcely any production ef the same length, has
been more generally readt and admired for the last
few years, than the 'folkfcriuf beautiful lines on the
bariulf&ta Job Mooek, who fell in the battle of
Corunni, in I SOS. For. some years, there, was a
hotly contested dispute respecting their authorship
having been attributed fcy JLHfereJtt adaiirers to
Efrtn. 3fre, Scoff, Cfawiffitfl, Rogers and Mont
gomery. It waa, howerer, satisfactorily ascertained
at length, that they were the production of the Rer.
Mr. Wetfe, of Dublin. Likelhe Hermit' of Gold
smith, it is one of those effusions, wbose unadorned,
and as. some - measnre, undefinaUe eaaty, claims
far it a place in every miscellaneous coHection of
Poetry. This is a sufficient reason for our comply
ing wldt the reuesTof a fair Coxrespondent to Insert
it in theRectsTEni
Jiot a dram was "heard, nor a funeral note,
As hi eorpse to the ramparts we harried;
"ot a soldier discharged his farewell shot
O'er the graTe where our uero w Wried.

We boried lim darkVy a dead of night,

No useless eo&t oo7ed 4 breaet, -Nor
in sheet nor in shroud we bound Vi -
But he lay like a warrior taking his rest,
With liis martial doak areund Urn.
Few and abort were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not a word of sorrow ;
But we steadfastly gaxed on the fact of the dead,
And -we bitterly thought of the morrow.
We tbongnt, a. w beeped fcia narrow bed,
And smoothed down hktanely pillow, .bead,
That xhe foe and the stranger would tread .o'er bis
And we far away oa the billow.
Lightly tbey& talk of the spirit that's .gone,
- And o'er his cold aahea spbraid feYitt,
But nothing he'll reck, if they let bim sleep on.
In the grate where a Briton has laid bim. .
But half of oar henry task was done, '
When the clock told the hour for retiring ;
And wcVeardy the distant and random gun,
That the foe was suddenly firing.
Slowly and svlly we laid bim down,
From the field of his fame f resh and gory ;
We carred not a line, we raised not a stone
But we -left him alone with his glory.
It is not always the object of a Parody to ridicule
the pro 1 action oa witch it is made. Or, If -soCh
were tke abject of the following, it would be wholly
unattainable, as the Lines, inserted above, are too
excellent for their effect to be lajared by -bwleupte.
We insert therefore the following, as worthy of
preservation, and by way of illustrating the thin par
tition between fire ewbltme and ridictilons: -
Not a sius bad be got not a guinea or note,
And he looked confoundedly, flurried,
As he bolted away without paring his shot,
And the landlord after bim hurried. '.
We $ bim -agaia at the dead of night,
When borne from the club returning,
We (miffed tho doctor beneath the li&bt .
Of the gaalajnp brilliantly burning. , .. .

All bare and exposed to Ji midnight dewaj'

And he lay like ageaflfimah taking axiwtfcr,
With his marshal cloak ardasd bim. ,

And bis itdy began to upbraid him ;
But little he recked, so they let bim snore on,

Gentlemen r T4e invitation to parUke of ;ta pub
lic dinner to be given, in the Town of Oxford, on
any day that 1 any be pleased to name" was recei v
ed at tho moment roteaded for my departure, and I
beg therefore-you will exease tho imperfect manner
is which I am compelled to reply.
To say that! ant deeply impressed with this mark
ef the respect and esteem of the cititensof Granville,
among whom many of my earlier year were passed,
would convey but feebly the emotions excited by
jvrar kind and friendly communication. Next to
the consciousness of having discharged his duty, the
approbation of his countrymen, is the highest re
ward of the soldier. And to know that in my ab
eenee from tVe State, I have not been forgotten, and
that my "career has been aratebed with unfeigned
inteTet.', to receive from the friends of my youth,
the hearty and unexpected welcome with which 1
am this day honored, will er be a proud recollec
tion, and win be fceld aa grotefal remembrance to
the last hour of my life. Jf circumstance however,
did not compel me to deeliao this publie demonstra
tion of yer regard, a aease of duty aud of delicacy,
would not permit me to accept the distinguished ho
nor which your friendship has so generously o (Eared.
With the Army in Mexico, my services were of an
feumble character, and though discharged witbiau
honest xcal, am worthy of no higher distinction than
should attach to every son of the "Republic, who
glories in his birthright.
You have been, pleaaed to reex to my services at
the battle of Buena Vista ; and to my preseuce -oa
an occasion .which shed so much lustre on the citi
zen soldiery of the United States, rather than to any
merits of my own, must I ascribe the honor of your
invitation. That great victory was duo alone to
Major General Taylor. It was his masterly fore
sight that prevented a withdrawal of ear forces to
Monterey, and his comprehensive S'igacity and un
erring judgment that fixed the time and the posi
tion. That he wns the only American General who
would have slven battle to the enemy under their-
eurastaoees, there is I presume little doubt-: sad that
be was the only living General who could have won
it, there is just as iittle. TJie most of those bo
served under him en that occasion, know and feel
the troth of this declaration. Those who saw him,
in tbe darkest hoar .of that sanguinary day, when
tbe thousands of the -enemy alnxMt equalled the haa-
dreJs opposed to them,' when many n stout heart
trembled for the result, and at the frightful oviden-
ces-of Mex-ieaa barbarity, which would have fotlow-
ed defeat, Gen. Taylor was unmoved, and gave his
orders with a enmaeas approachiugsubunvty. The
storm of battle raged with terrible intensity 4 the
idexionn lines had attained a fearful proximity to
ours ; defeat overwhelming and complete seemed in
evitable.; three Regiments of tbe galUtut .sons of
Kentucky and Illinois, weakened and shattered, by
seven hours of almost uninterrupted oontuct, had
bees forced rm tbo plateau, and there seemed no
human, power capable of arresting the march of the
heavy columns of tbe Mexicans ; but General Tay
lor still held his position, not less a tower of strength
to the Americans than of terror to tbeejiemy, round
which the waves of battle beat 4a n. His eagle
eye saw the extremity ox the crisis, ana lus mtguty
mul determined to arrey it.
High and inscrutable the old. man stood,
Calm in his voice and calm within his eye,"
though at that moment, tbe fata of the kittle, tbe
result of tbe antiraawpairn, the life -of every A-
flsexiean from Buena Vista to the Rio Grande, de
pended upon himself. ' ' How his heroic spirit bore
it ail nouiy up, naa aireauy puaeu inn muirjr.
Among those who were most conspicuous in that
last terrible -conflict, STorfb Carolina was well and
worthily represented. The names of Bragg aud
Bryan are familiar to yon all, and with them were
associated Sherman, O JiJrieu, Thomas, Keyttolu,
Kilburn and French, tkaei whom the rolls of no ar
ray can .present a brighter array or youthful and
chivalric daring With o support but the mend
tvkwer-of the presence of their commander, the ene-
jny were m ido to falter under tbe fire of tbe artille
ry, while tbe often distinguished Mississippians and
the daring sons of Jndiaaa, arrived from a distant
point of the field in time to participate m tbe glori
ous repulse which terminated tbe engagement.
Tbe victory won, the generosity, benevolence and
sympathy of General Taylor, are Aot leas conspicu
ous, thanlii mililafy genius in the hour of battle.
The virtues of the man then, serve to adorn the
qualities of the Commander. With him not only
the arms of the Republic, but the rights of bumani
ty are always eictcVious.
But I have said more than I intended, and have
trespassed I fear too far upon yoHf kindness. If
there is no theme mere grateful to the soldier than
the pYaise of his comnlinder, those who have served
under Gen. Tsylor, I hope may be pardoned such a
weakness.
In conclusion, gentlemen, be pleased to aceep t my
most grateful acknowledgements for the honor you
ave conferred, and my best wishes for your future
prosperity and happiness.
With tbe highest respect i remaia,
your friend and obouieut servant,

September 25, 1847. )
To his Excellency, D, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna,
GtneraUin-Chirf of the Mexican Army in front of
this Ciy:
Sir I had the bonor of receiving, at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, your Excellency's letter of this date,
la it you were pleased to notify me At tbe fact ithat
you bad taken possession of this Ctj for the pur
pose, as you declare, of restoring to the full enjoy
ment of their liberty its citixens who have hitherto
aiwffered so much from the U. S. Army. You like
wise were pleased to offer certain stipulations to this
garrison, provided that it would, within a fiiedtkuc
abandon the point of defence which it now occupies.
With regard to the assertion of your Excellency,
which empties tii.it the inhabitants of Puebla have
been maltreated by the U S. troops, 1 wholly deny
it. On the coutrary, I assure you that the property
and privilegesof ail have been main t lined, aiuj res
pected with the greatest scrupulousness, indeed, so
much so has it been done, that its parallel cannot
be found im the annals of war. And I would most
jriUkigly leave it to the most intelligent and impar
tial portion of the population of the Citj to decide,
frani which of the two contending parties they have
received tbe most kajury and molestation ; whether
it is from their own countrymen or tbe troops of the
United States.
With regard to that particular part of your Ex
cellency's letter which demands the surrender, with
in a fixed time, of all the positions now occupied by
the troops under my commaud, I can only say in re
ply, that having been honored with the duty of pro
tecting and guarding them, it is equally my greatest
wish and paramount obligation to preserve in era to
the laat; aad I am fully satisfied that I shall bo able
to defend them successfully, inasmuch as 1 have at
my disposal all the resources essential to its full
and complete accomplishment.
'With considerations in the highest -degree res
pectful, I have the honor to be your Excellency's
most obedient servant.

The Area Iris of rte 13th inst. furnishes in

fitting sequel to the above correspondence;
Pueela. 26ib At u'fjocb on tbe ewening 0
yesterday the points of 8a n Juan de Dios, tSanta
Rosa' and Santa Monica commenced a heavy can
nonade upon tbe American works. The latter
immediately began to throw cannon shot, bojubs
and grenabea into the centre of the city, which
suffered in consequence sonie considerable in
jury.
Don Alar mo del u.10, whilst stanotng wirn nis
wrfo on tbe back balcony 01 bis house, was struck
dead by a cannon ball. At about ti o'clock P. M.
the cannooade ceased, but commenced again at

Puebla, 2Uih. By order ol baitfa Ania a body
of troops was jresierday posted in the Convent of
Saota Teresa, at one of the corners of which a
breastwork of cotton bales waa erected. Four
hundred cotton bales have already been de
manded f tbe house of Velasco for the defence
of the city. To prevent the completion of this
works the Americans from tbe fort of jSan Jose
hpt up a continual tire upon the workmen, which,
being stoutly returned by the Mexicans, the dis.
charge of bombs and grenade from the Ameri
can lines greatly increased. At this auuuieut
a considerable nuinbr of private citizens went
to Santa Anns, who was at Carmen, and request

agement, they quickly inarched far -the .Coavent

est consternation, but night at last superveuimr,
everything became quiet. -

There is something in aicknesa that breali
down the pride of manhood.; tbt softness the
heart, and brings it back to the feelings of infan

life, in sickness and despondency 4 who that has
pined on a weary bed in the neglect and loneii

smoothed his pillow and administered to. his 1 help
lessness Oh ! there is an enduring tenderness
in the love of a mother to a sou thai transcends
all other affections of the, heart. It ia neither to
be chilled by selfishness, nor daunted by danger,
nor weakened by worthlessnesa, nor stifled by in
gratitude. She will sacrifice every comfort to
his convenience ; she will surrender every pleas,
ure to his enjoyment ; she will glory in ,U is fame
and exult in. his prosperity t and -if adversity over
take hi in, b will be .dearer to her from misfor
tune ;,.and if disgrace settle .upon his name, 6he
will still love aud rherish .him.; and d all the
world cast him off, she will be all the jworJd to
him. Washington Ircing.

Com Ac-v-ies. An exchange paper, the Editor
of which has had sorao experience in the world, says;
Itever neglect to read the Advertising Depart
ment of a Newspaper, if you would know what it
coucerns every one to know, where to lay out your
money to the best advantage. Competition is at its
b eight, and those who have any thing worth buyiug,
or good bargains, always advertise. Tiiey know it
is tbe sure way to do a brisk and a profitable busi
ness and by selling quickly, they are anabled to
sell cheaply. Keep the run of the Advertisements.
Sometimes the price of a whole year's subscriptiod
is saved by looking closely over the Advertisement,

so long as jt rans .on smoothly tbe channels are kept

of the river is stopped, then the water in the canals
is no longer pure, but soon becomes stagnant. There
is but one law of circulation in nature. When there
is a superabundance .of liumorial fluid (serosity) in

flows back into tho blood vessels, and infiltrates it
self into the circulation. To establish the free course
of the river, we must remove the obstructions which

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS AND
IMITATIONS.
The unparalleled and astonishing efficacy of Dr.
Wietar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, in all the diseases
for which it is recommended, curing many cases after
the skill of the best pbysciaus was unavailing, has
.effected a large and increasing demand for it. This
fact has .caused several unprincipled counterfeiters
and imitators to palm off spurious mixtures, of simi
lar name and appearance, for the genuiue Balsam.
Some ane, called "Syrup of Wild Cherry," "Bal
sam of Spikenard," "Wild Cherry Comfrey " &C.
Another, Winter's Balsam of Wild Cherry f .mis-,
spelling tfc'e name, and forging certificates to resem
ble those of the true Balsam. ; Dr Wistar's Bal
sam of W"ild Cherry" is the only genuine. Thereat
merely imitate the namepf tbe original, while they
possess none of its virtues.
