POETRY.
Tba following beautiful Ime were written by
. jhjcs, ilie novelist, wbHe od board the steam
Vishiiijtoo, during her late voyage to N.
York
The Washington, the Washington !
How gladly ene goes.
Green fields she finds before her steps.
She leaves them clad in Enows.
Th green field of the ocean.
The s now-finite of the foam,
Receive and follow as she treads.
Her parhway to her home.
GoJ ppeed thee, nobis Washington,
Across the mighty main,
A"d jr'e thee wings to traverse it
A Thousand times again !
Not wrongly hast thou taken,
The glorious chieftain's name,
Who won his country's liberty,
Amidst the batik's flame.
$n sordiJ triumph was the cliiel's.
No sordid triumph thine.
Though war, unwiiling, was his task,
And tbine aim, peace divine.
The links his good sword severed,
When heavy grew the chain.
Even of England's Brotherhood,
Thou shall unite again.
But links of love the bond shill form,
To bind the east and west,
While child and mother, long estranged,
Fiy to each other's breast.
And m3y'st thou, as thou tread'st the sea.
Till ihy Ions wanderings cease.
Be. like the patriarch! dove,
The messenger of peace.
MISCELLArsEOUS. :
AN AMERICAN'S FIRST IMPRES
SIONS OF ENGLAND.
The R:- Dr. McClintock, vlu went out
in the Washington, respecting which steam
er he says some very complimentary things,
thus describes, in a letter to the Christian
Advocate and Journal, his impressions on
approjehing the English coast ;
"About six miles west of the Needles we
took in our pilot a thorough John Bull,
bluff, thick-set and rotund. We crowded
around hiin, of course, asking question.
"lbs the Atlantic arrived ?" "Don't know."
"The City of Glasgow?" "Ilav'nt heard."
"Have you any papers?" He pullrd out the
Weekly Times of May 26 ! and this was his
lattst news. " Has the Niagara arrived V
"Yes." This last reply was a damper, as the
Niagara sailed from New York two days after
uj, and wc hoped, at least to reach England
before her. But the pilot's next utterance
relieved us.ashe growled out, "The Niagara
is one of the Oriental Company's steamers,
iiu tshe?" (!) And this wa all he Knew oi
the matter. In fact, I do not believe he
knew the name of our steamer when he boar
ded us. Yet as we learned afterward, he is
a very reputable man, and a very excellent
pilot, knowing every point and rock in the
channel and nothing else. But you could
not, by any accident, chance upon an Ameri
can pilot, from Passamaquoddy to New Or
learrf, so innocent of all knowledge ot what
H going on in the world.
"I had heard much of the beauty nf the
Mi of Wight, but had not a glimmering con
ception of the reality. No American scene
ry prepares one for this rural loveliness-of
England. Approaching the island from the
south west, we bad a full view of ScratchalPs
Bay, with its towering precipices of chalk,
surmounted, at the highest point, by a light
house, at an elevation of 713 feet above the
level of the sea. This bay is quite a resort
for tourists in search of the picturesque
and well it mav be. The dazzling white
ness of the chalk cliffs is interrupted at in
ttrvaUby streaks of flint, giving them a very
remarkable appearance. At the Northwes
tern extremity of this bay stand the Needles
three sharp-pointed chalk cliff, obviously
separated from the main land by the .action
of the sea, which is every day disintegrating
these and sharpening new needles. A f ery
tall one, 120 feel high, disappeared entirely
in 1764.
"Turning the corner of the island, you
see Alum Bav, surrounded by tall cliffs of
very striking appearance ; those on the one
side being high chalk precipices, while those
on the other are composed of strata . of earth
o( different colors, black, white, yellow, and
red, forming a beautifully variegated surface.
A few miles further, on the main land, is
seen Hurst Castle, built at the end of a sin
gularly narrow promontory, jutting out two
miles from the coast of Hamshire, forming,
with the Isle of Wight, a channel Itss than
half a mile wide. As this was the first real
castle I had seen, I looked very closely. It
is a strong erection, of the lime of Henry
VIII. Charles I was removed here from,Ca
rysbrook Castle sometime before his trial.
' The castle is now occupied by the men of
the preventive service.
"We ran close to the Isle of Wight all the
way down to Cowes, and saw it in the best
bloom of its beauty, under the brightest sun
of June. I will attempt no description of
the coast, or of the transcendent loveliness
of the harbor of Cowes. It is enough to
ay that our party, none of whom had ever
croised the Atlantic before, were all satisfied
that tbe beauty of this part of England bad
not been and could not be exaggerated
not so much its natural features, as that
other beauty which the art and taste of man
can add to nature by ages of cultivation.
"Our passage across the North Sea was
ery pleasant. We reached Bremen haven,
s I have said, in 49 houts after leaving
Cowes, and took the steamer.wliich was a very
different affair from our noble Hudson boats,
being a small iron boat of some twelve feet
beam, and very meanly fitted up. Yet with
such craft are the good people of these parts
contented. Even the English rif er boats
of which we saw a specimen at Cowes are
little better. Thev are far inferior, in coin
fort and neatness, to our Staten Island ferry
WONDERFUL LOG ROLLING IN THE
WEST. "" '': ; '
'Ah Erf ISshroaVwhb was . lately traveling on
the MissisaippJTioTd some rather -ioogh stories a.
bout the London thieves. . A Cincinnati! ehn.
named Case, heard these narratives with a silent
Dot expressive humph. I and then remarked that
he (hough't-the Western thicves.beat tbe London
operators all hollow V :; .
How so ''inquired" tbe Englishman, with sur
prise. Pray sir, have you lived raucb in the
West!'
'Not a greaC deAl. . I undertook to settle up
a business at the D.eemoins Rapids awhile sgu,
but tbe rascally people Blole nearly everything 1
had, and finally a Welch miner rau off" with my
wife.'
' Good God !' said tbe Englishman. And you
uever found her 1'
4 Never to this day. Bat that was not the
worst ot it.
It'ont ! Why, what could be worse than
stealing a,man's wife?'
Stealing his children, I should say,' said the
implacable Case.
Children !'
Yes; a nigger woman, whohad'nt any of her
own, abducted inyyounge.it daughter aud sloped
aud jioed tbe Inginc'
' Great Heaven ! Did vou 6ee her do it !'
' See her ! Yes, and she lnu'nt ten rods the
sart of ine ; but she plunged into the lake and
swain off like a duck, and there waul a canoe to
loilow her wiilu"
The Englishman laid back in his chair and
called for another mi g of aff-and-aff, while Case
smoked his cigar and looked at his credulous
friend at the same lime most renorselessly.
I I shan't go any funher West I think; at
length observed the excited John Bull.
' I should not advise any one logo,' said Care
quietly. ' brother once lived there, but he
had to leave, although his business was the best !
in the country.'
W'Kat kiiincc uaa hp in nrav I1 !
' Lumbering had a saw mill.'
And thtv sto'e his lumber !'
j 'Yes, and his saw logs, to'.'

' Yes, dozens of fine black walnut logs were i
j carried off in a single nigh: j
I TniM ii nun in v Imnii'. ir- Hrf? trtfd everv t

'Good Gracious I j

out ihrre. continued Cae, fending a t-'.y wink at j
the listening coinDanv. ' iusi to rive you an iuVa !
did yi'U ever work in a saw mill !'
' Never.'
4 Well, my brother, one day, bought an ail fir
ed fine black walnut log four feet three at the
but and a knot in it. Ho was determined to keep
that log, any h"W, ar.d htrt d two Scotchmen to
watch ii all n gnt Well, they took a diuinnjohn
full of whiskey with them, snaked the log up the
side hill above the null, and built a fire, and then
sot down on the lojr to play kerde, just to keep
awake, you tee. ' 1'was a monstrous big log
bark two inches thick. Well, as I was saying,
ihey played keerds and drank whiskey all night,
went to sleep a-siraddle ot the leg. About a min
et after daylight, George weni over to the mill to
see how they got on, and the log teas gone '
And i hey seitinj on it !'
Setting on the bark ! The thieve had drove
an iron weiige into ihe Out eend whirh pinted
down hill, ard bitched a voke of oxen on and pul
led it right out, leaving ihe shell and the Scotch
ers selling a straddle ot it last asleep.
Toe Englishman here rosr?, dropprd his cigar

said that he thought he would go on deck and
see how far we'd be down the river before mor

We have received the following informa
tion from an authentic source, and should it
prove what it is represented to be, we maintain j
that everybody who reahirs the ten.ni ot n
ought to subscribe to the True Union forth
with. The facts as we state them, we are
assured, are quite reliable, and how many
mpn, let us ask, have made fortuues by se
crets of far less worth ?
A distinguished General (Twiggs,) retur
ned from the Mexican war covered with
"glorv." He had, however, two marks of
hard seruce which laurels could not hide
as they did Caesar's baldness. One was a
head as white as wool ; and the other a cu
taneous eruption on his forehead, for the
Utter he was advised to try a mixture of sul
phur and tugar of lead and rose wat'T. In
appiving ii some of the mixture moistened
the hair on his forehead, and afier a while
this part of hair resumed its original color.
He then applied the niixtuie to all his ha"ir,
and it all became and is now, of its primi
tive sandy hue. He communicated the facl
to some of his friends in Washington es
pecially to some ex-members, who are wid
owers and seeking preferment and it has
been found efficpcious in everv instance.
It does not dye the hair, but seems to ope
rate upon the roots, and restores ihe origi
nal color.
The recipe is as follows :
1 drachm Lac Sulphur,
1-2 drachm Sugar of Lead,
4 ounces Rose Water.
Mix them, shake the phial on using the
mixture, and baihe the hair twice a day for
a week, or longer.if necessary. True Union.

hromthe Opera of the "two SUIT-ors."
Trnnlaied on Fayelieville Street.
I dreamfd that her favoring glances fell
On a well-dressed Beau at her side,
And I rould'nt tell why the laughing Belle,
Had refused to become my bride.
But a tingle glance at my rival's Coat,
Told me there lay tho tarength of ihe game ;
And I said if ihe Tailor'sin Town whocan doit,
I'll have one exactly the same.
Then I dreamed ihat 1 searched the Town all o'er.
For the gem that would win her heart.
Till I found myself standing in front of the Store
V here clothing is fashioned by art ;
And then I remembered that this was the place
Where the ('oat of my rival was made.
And entering in, right befors my face.
Lay a Broad-Cloth, exactly the shade.
Thr Coal was sent home, and like Ctesar I sped,
I came, and I saw, and I won
For she smilingly said, wrn I asked her to wed,
"What an elegant Coal you have on
Three days from that time, ierhape it was more,
1 induced her to alter her name :
And I still buy my Coats at the very same Store,
And she loves me ae ever the same.

their thanks to the public lor the liberal patronag
received during the last season, and take this meth
od to inform their patrons and tbe public generally
that they have added over fifty per cent to (be Cap
ital Stock of the Company, in boats. The draurh,
ol tbe New Hieainboat " Chatham," is calculated
to navigate the river at ail stages of water, giving
shippers by this line a decided advantage in getting
their goods up without delay, especially in tbe Fall
season, when the River is usually too tow lor steam
Boats of ordinary draught to run.
The Boats composing this Line are
The Steamer Gov. Graham, 24 years old.
Chatham New.
Tow Boats Mike Brown 2 year old.
Telegraph do
Cumberland New.
, Express do
All the above Boats are, in the very best condi
tion for the Fall business. The undersigned feel
warranted in appealing to tbe shipping public for
such an increased patronage as will renumerate them
to some extent at least for the additional capital in
vested, and promise with every confidence tiat ship
pers by this Line shall be as well if not better served
than they can be by any other on the River.
The arrangements by the Copartners are intended
to be permanent, and should experience suggest the
necessity of any further increase of boats, the public
may rely upon their being put on the River without
delay.
Our rates for Freight at all times will be the ear
rent rates charged by others.
Bills of Lading for goods intended to come by this
Line should be filled up to the ' tare of tho Capo

Or Medicated' Compound.
NFALLIBLE for renewing, invigorating and
beautifying the hair, removing scurf, dandruff.
aud all affections of the scalp, and curing eruptions
on the skin, diseases of the glands, muscles and in
teguments, and relieving stings, cuts, bruises, sprains
&c, 3'C- With this preparation there no such
word as fail." Tbe first journals in America, xnodi
cal men of tbe highest eminence, prominent citizens
of all professions, and. ladies who have used it &r
years in their dressing rooms and nurseries, admit
with one accord, that, for imparting rigor, gloss, lux
u nance and curl to the hair,eradicaling scurf and dan
druff, healing wounds, curing contusions, sprains,
stings. &.c , and relieving diseases of the skiu, tb
glands and the muscles, it has no equal among tho
multitude of compounds advertised in the public
prints, or used in private practice. In cheapness as
well as efficacy, Barry's Triropherous is unrivalled.
Tbe immense cash sales of the article have enabled
tbe inventor to supply it at retail at twenty five cent
per bottle, which is trwm fifty to one hundred per
ceut Iojs than tbe pi ices of any other preparation
now in use. The scientific i realises on lite hair and
skin (embracing valuable directions for theculturo
and prefcrvalion of Nature's choicest Ornament,)
in which each bottle is enclosed, is alone worth tho
