I love the forest dark and lone,
For there the wild bird's merry tone
Is heard from morn till night:
And there are lov'lier flowers I ween,
Than e'er in eastern lands were seen,
In varied colors bright.
Her forest and ht-rvallies fair,
Her flowers that scent l lie morning air,
Have all their charms fur me;
But more I love my country's name
Those word that echo deathless fame
'The Land of Liberty!"

LETTER FROM GEN. JACKSON.
Hermitage, October 20, 1841.
Gentlemne: I have received your let
ter, inviting; me to 1)3 present at a public
dinner to be given the late governor of
Tennessee, lion. James.. K. Polk, at the
Nashville Inn, on Saturday the 23d inst.
by the Democratic Republican members
of the legislature and citizens of Nashville
and Dav idson county. Should the weath
er be fair and the state of my health such
as to render it prudent for me to trav
el so far as Nashville on that day, I
will avail myself of the pleasure of attt ml
i n g.
The "hearty congratulations which you
tender to me ' upon the signal triumphs of
Democratic Republican principles," as
evinced in "the late voices of Maine,
Marylind, Georgia, and other Stales," are
received with the n.ot grateful considcra
tion. Nor do you misconei i ve my senti
ments, gentlemen, in supposing that these
evidences cannot fail to strengthen my
conviction thai the people were not insin
cere in their support of my administra
tion.
I cannot say that I did not expect this
reaction. 1 did believe that, notwithstanding
theevents of IS40, the mighty truths of
Republicanism would rise again in triumph;
but I cannot say I was fully prepared for
the revolution at so early a period. Spec
ulative considerations are giving away to
the power of principle. Cool reflection
lias quickly kindled in the hearts of the
people a resolve to do right and to repair
those aberrations from the path of rectitude
which are as Common to masses as to in
dividuals. A long and intimate acquaint
ance with the character of the American
people inspired me with the most implicit
faith in their disposition to pursue and main
tain truth, virtue, patriotism and independ
ence with a single purpose. And at this
late day of my life, it gives me joy to say,
that faith is unbated.
Among the causes that have produced
this awakening in the public mind, are to
to be found the unjust and imprudent meas
ures of the late extra session of -Congress
the tyranny of a dictatorial majority over
a large and respectable minority. 'Nor
can it be supposed that the effects of
these causes are exclusively confined to
those Slates where elections have just taken
place.
Phe distribution of the proceeds of the
sales of the public lands without constitu
tional authority the system of bankrupt
cu established bv laW throughout the Uni
ted Slates the 'provision for a loan with
in the range of ivvetve millions, &c arc
acts so palpable and unauthorized, ihjt the
oeople, as 1 believe anxiously desi.e their
epeal. And I entertain a most sanguine
hope that the hour for reconsideration, re-
itrenrhmcnt.and reform, is at hand.
I congratulate you, gentlemen, as I do,
our country at
arge, on having at the!
head ol the Government a 53resident wh
upon one question, at least, h;is a strict
and conscientious regard for the Constitu
tion who has not swerved from his in
tegrity in the discharge of one of the high
est duties devolving on the Executive
who Ins preserve I his own consistency by
avf-rting the blow aimed at our liberties
through an attempt to establish another
monied corporation with powers enough
to destroy individual freedom in elections
nd to ovcrshaddow the blessings of our
Republican institutions who has fearless
ly asserted and faithfully exercised his con
stitutional prerogative, that this free and
most per feet system of civil government
imy be administered by men and not b
money. And, gentlemen, 1 may add that
in the ability and determination of the
President to maintain the Government
on principles purely Republican, I have the
most abiding confidence.
Accept for yourselves aud
for those
whom you represent, my best wishes.
l our fellow-citizen,
ANDREW JACKSON.

Important We have reason to be
lieve, from some advices, that a new pro
position relative to the union of Texas with
this country, will be brought forward by a
distinguished gentleman at the next session
of Congress, under very favorable auspi
ces. Such an effort would receive the un
divided support of the democracy. May
not this yet be destined to be the glorious
act of an administration, which has cut it
self adrift from banks and British allian
CCS?
(J We learn from the Danville (Va.)
Reporter that Terry, the Mate teller of the
Paimers Hank of Virginia in that piacc,
lias been tried for the robbery of that bank
in August last, and acquitted. The Re
porter says:
"We hope to be able, at no distant day,
to lay before our readers the evidence in
this case, which for the amount stolen, the
skill and cunning displayed in the scheme
of villany, the interest which was mani
fested during the trial, the number of coun
sel employed by the accused, and the
grounds of his defence set up, in behalf we
believe has no parallel in the history of
criminal prosecutions in this section of
country-"
Florida. A letter from East Florida,
dated Oct. 17, says that Alligator (from
Arkansas) had arrived at Tampa Bay.
The letter adds: On the same date, a young
warrior of Tigertail's band, also arrived at
Tampa, sent in by him to ascertain if his
cousin, Alligator, had arrived. This war
rior reports that nearly all Tigertail's party
was together at Annultuliga, patiently
waiting Alligator's coming to give them
some account of Arkansas. Ifitisa good
account they will come in immediately.
Alligator is confident that he can bring in
Tigertail in a short time. If he succeeds,
the settlements will be relieved at once,
from the oppression of the savages.
Georgia Banks. The Augusta Chron
icle announces that all the banks in Geor
gia have come to the determination to pay
out their own bills; and the planters may
therefore calculate on receiving a specie
paying currency for their crops.
Making him pay for it. A divorce
was granted by the Supreme Court, at its
late term in Stark county, Ohio, to the
wife of Jacob Cope, for his cruel treatment
of her, and infidelity. The court decreed
to her the exclusive use, for life, of the
whole real estate, and moreover ordered
him to return her wearing apparel on de
mand, or be mulcted in $100.
A Singular Suicide. On Tuesday af
ternoon a man, who was unknown to eve
ry person present, stepped on board the
ferrv boat which plies between Philadelphia
and Camden, and just as she left the wharf,
handed a note to a person standing by, and
deliberately stepping upon the chain across
the bow of the boat, threw himself into the
river and disappeared. The note was af
terwards read as was also a letter connected
with it. The Ledger says, it appeared
that in the morning he had drawn out of
the bank of the Northern Liberties the
sum of $900, of which he had been subse
quently robbed;- in consequence of which,
and of having received harsh words, he
committed the rash act of soicide. The
fetter, which is dated at Norfolk, is ad
dressed to "Samuel Erskine, Esq.',' and
the same name appeared to have been sign
ed to the note written beneath it. A gen
tleman has informed us that he beeame ac
quainted, in this city, with the Mr Samuel
Erskine, of Norfolk, and the person allud-
i,nvp is undoubtedly the same. He
boarded at the Ea-le Hotel in Pratt street,
about three weeks before he took his
pinur? for Phihd. Inhh,. and flrm.v,,-,.d
ry imhappv; stated 'hat he had ouarrelhd
with his wife in Nor folk, nn.l bad L ft bprr
for the purpose of establishing himself in
some kind of b:iin-ss in Philadelphia,
where he had about SftOO on dep-wite in
oop of the b inks of that eitv, and also had
about S500 with hi-n. Win h:; spoke of
his wife he usually commenced crying,
and at times appeared not to be in his rig'it
mind. Butt. San.
Distressing Death. The body of Mr
Charles Thomas, of Linconville, Maine,
was one day l.st week found in a marsh in
Lowell. The deee-i-ed had started afier
some ducks, and he was found in a position
as it aiming at them. His gun was found
under him, still loaded, it is supposed

Sang ;o Dufh tea hi of good horses
belonging to Isaac K. Lippincott, Esq. of
Freehold, Peon, were stung to death on
Saturday last, while they were plowing
near some b'.c-hives, about 9 o'clock in the
morning, the bees became incensed, and
rushed out in great, numbers upon them,
literally covering them. The horses rear
ed and plunged in ex'reme agony. Some
persons succeeding in cutting the traces,
but it was impossible to gel the animals
from the fiujld. They remained for sever
al hours, throwing themselves violent lv
about, rearing and falling backward on the
ground. Blood ran from their mouths and
nostrils. One died about 11 o'clock, and
another shortly after.
'I 'he foregoing would to many appear in
credible. A similar instance, however,
occurred in tiie neighborhood of this place
a few weeks since which goes to confirm
its truth.
An acquaintance of ours had a blind
horse thoughtlessly turned loose in a lot
near his improvements in which there
were a parcel of bee-hives. The animal,
in feeding about, turned one over. The
bees therepon swarmed about and stung it
to such an excess that it died, we are as
sured, within three hours from the stings

Santa Anna, having arrived at the Capi
tal with his troops, on the night of the 2d
September, about three o'clock, captured
by assault the fort of San Francisco, one o!
the strongest holds of Bustamei.te, and al
so the fort of St. Geronimo. Most of the
officers and men captured, immediately
enrolled themselves among Santa Anna's
party.
On the 2d, President Burtamente, with
1500 infantry and 500 cavalry, Hacked one
of the posts of San'a Anna, but being resist

tJpThe Philadelphia United Sates Ga
zette of yesterday says
"A verdict was given yesterday in the
United States Court, in the case of the Uni
ted States vs. the United Slates LJank for
plaintiffs, being a claim of about 55253, 000.
l his action arose out ot theiirst mil dta vn
by the United States Government upon
France for the tmdemntty tor spoliations.
This bill was purchased by the United Vti'e
Bank, and when presented at Pans there
had been no funds provided by the Cham
ber of Deputies, and unfortunately the bill
was at sight, otherwise the Government
,t;rht have nrovided mean: but it wa
o i
protested for non payment,
and returned
rhe Hank then charged
the Government
I with the customary damages, and relained
ie-1 in settlement with the Government the
mount of ibese damages, and then ibis suit
was commenced, and has been continued
Iron! term to term.
Some speculation has been indulged as
it regards the elTeci of this verdict on some
of the as-ignoienis, as the Government has
uhvaj s the rtrsf claim: but the defendants
may appeal to the Supr eme Com t, and thus
postpone such action.
Judge 13 ddvvin Csavs the Ledtre'rl decid
ed the following noints arisimr finm tht
testimony in the case, which will be suffi
cient to show its general feature:
1. That the United State were liable to
the law of set-off like any individual; their
sovereignty being parted with, pro hue
vice.
2. That the el aim of the defendant to
damages must be governed by the laws of
.Maryland, the place where the bill of ex
change was drawn.
3. That by this law damages were onlv
allowable to the actual holder of the bill of
exchange at the time of the protest, or to art
endorser who has paid the damages sus
tained upon it.
4 That the Bmk was not the holder of
the bill at the time of the protest, nor an a
gent for the holder; r.nd that no proof had
been given to show that it had paid the
damages sustained by the protest.-
Tiie defendant's claim for damages was
therefore rejected by the court, and the ju"
ry give a verdict for the plaintiff for
43 51 damages and six cents cost.
On Dits in Sporting Circles. The
Sporting Intelligence given in our columns
yesterday and to-day, is of more interest
and importance than was ever published
during a campaign! More expectations
hrive been disappointed, more money has
been won and lost, and more astounding
circumstances have transpired, than within
anv three mouths within our knowledge!

Wagner, the favorite vs. a field of four;
has been distanced, at Louisville, by Black
nose, in 7 5G 7 52 8 02;
Gano, another "crack," who challenged
Boston to run a match for $10,000 last
season, has also been distanced at Madison
Ga.
Creath, a son of Imp. Tranby, and with
a single exception the only one of his get
that evi.r won a three mile race, has beaten
Tom Watson, the brother to Sarah Bladen,
and a gooil field, at Louisville, in 5 57 5
43, over a heavy course!
In two great matches, Kentucky, vsi
Tennessee, in one of which the latter was
the favorite at 5 to 1, Kentucky won both,
Blackuose healing Elizabeth Smith, and
Zenith beating Thornhill.
John Blount, one of the most promising!
horses in Virginia, and Clarion, equally
popular at the North, have both given a
vr-y d,is wek, and now leave the Turf.
Last week at Baltimore, Mariner won
the 1st heat from, and lost the 2nd lhy a
scant neck only" to, the hitherto induci
ble Boston. On the previous day with 100
to 35 off red on him, John Blount was
b aten by Fashion, half sister to Mariner.
Lady Suffolk, at the head of the Trot
ting Turf, who has challenged the world
without acceptance, after trotting two heals
of five miles in wagons, in the unparalleli
t d time of 13 5S 13 5S, was in this very
i ace beaten by Americus, a comparatively
unknown horse.
It has been our painful duty to announce,
loo, the death of two of the most distin
guished men on the American Turf, Mr.
Van Kamz, owner of Eclipse and Poto

and others.

Thf performance? of the get of Trustee,
the non-acceptance of Priam of the chal

hill, one of Glencoe's best Sons, is calcula
ted to give Trustee, a standing not only
over Priam himself, but over any other
imported stjili'on in the Union, with the"
single exception of Leviathan. The defeat!
of Boston, however, is the most important
sporting event that has taken place for
years. That of Wagner and Gano, of Jim
Bell and John Blount, of Thornhill and
Tom Watson is commonplace in compari
son. His invincibility is gone forever.
His defeat will be hailed by Proprietors
of Race Courses with undissembleU joy ; no
mote will he be allowed to walk ovlv
Hut what isof far more importance is the
'ac t that his being beaten by a Northern
horse will give a new impu's ito the sports
of the Tun, both at the North and in the
OUt Do T'inion. New Clubs will be organ
