I have seen gay beauty's flower, Iiloomiug in a distant clime; Yet it had not half the power. O'er this bosom as does thine. l're seen a dark romantic eye, Streaming soft etherial light; And pure as an Italian sky, As sweetly beautiful and bright. I've seen two lips an opening rose, (To eye of man the fiirest sight ) Up n their lovely beds repose, T' even rows of pearly white And I have seea a cheek as fair, And brilliant as a morn in .May; When Phoebus lights his golden car, To "usher in" the rosy day. And I have seen a fairy form, As a golden ray of light; Some fond enchantment as a charm, Like a vision of delight. And yet all these I have forgone All darling passions will resign Save oulv one to live alone, To worship at that bosom's shrine. My brightest dreams of bliss a far, Await with live or die with tin e; Thou art the "bright-particular star," Thai musi rule my destiny. Perhaps that breast hath felt a flame, Some other mortal's blessed share; Perhaps some dear remembei'd name, Lurks within in secret therei If so, dear lady bid me roam, Far, far away from love and thee; Till I can fiad sMie ;ret himj, Wherein to hide my misery ALOXZO. MR. MANGUM'S SPEECH. The following are the remarks made by Mr. Mangum, in the U. S. Senate, on the '30th ult. on the project of the Secretary of the Treasury for establishing a "Board of Mr. Mangum, who was entitled to the floor, spoke out the remainder of this day's session, against the project of the Secretary. In giving his views, he disclaimed being operated upon by any party considerations, lie did not wish to be understood as re presenting any interest, party or clique. He bestowed much praise as to the ability with which that report was prepared. In a catholic spirit, he was willing to go with enator Tallmadce and his associates, as far as was comn itible with nrincinle. to i uut was Put for,n as a bribe change or modify the nroiect, by the hands ; power jn the hands of those now adminis ol a committee, but he said he feared it was , ring Government, he said he believed it wholly impracticable to cive it such form co,,,d ""dcrgo no lurm ot modification that circulate fifteen millions, and if deposites be made, fifteen millions more; in all, thir ty millions. There were no guards or re straints, as he saw, whereby one hundred millions might not be circulated. He spoke of the corrupting influences it might exercise over every section of the country . In a word, looking to the distressed condi tion of the country, it was holding out one of the most portentous bribes that this or any modern time had ever experienced. By it the people would be almost placed in the condition of beggars. When once made so, it would require but little effort to make them slaves. If once in operation, theie would be no power in the people that could resist it. It would concentrate a power with which he would not trust i any person. If the father of his country was again on the stage of action, before he would trust him even with such a power he would lop offhis right arm. But if hi honorable friend from New York could, by reft ring it to a committee, accomplish any tiling as a medium oourse, to strip this stupendous machinery of its appalling pow-j er, for one, he would leap to his sup port. But he believed it could not be ae complished. He would rather,' for owe. take the Sub-Treasury in any, in its wors form, than this monstrous machine, which would pour out its torrents f corruption over the land. He believed the benefit." of the Sub-Treasury were enhanced by it. frieuds, and its injurious tendencies exag gerated by its enemies, lie did not regard itas havingany power to regulate the cur rency; he disliked it more because it was a machine of an isolated spirit a spirit wliich operated on the principle of taking care of the Government, and leaving Un people to take care of them.-elves. He op posed it not so much for what it was, as lor what it might become. It was not pos sessed of the overshadowing power of this machine, but it possessed the same facili ties undeveloped. The powers of that, were modestly put forth as under a veil; but in this, as it were, they step forth and look the public boldly in the face. This machine, he contended, would destroy the local banks in every section of the country, except in the commercial emporiums. He argued that it had all the banking faculties of bank fully developed, and without man acles, to be fixed on as a part of the Go vernment. He thought it monstrous that Virginia statesmen, who had opposed a Bank of the United States, could come to the conclusion to give support to this, which had all the attributes of a bank, yet without any of its guards and checks. JMr. M. went into a partial analysis of some of the features of the project, and showed that under the guise of exchange, it was a bank of discount in its most odi ous form. After denouncing it at gnat length in the most severe terms, and main taining that it was not a Whi measure, maintain as could secure to it his support. Notwith standing it had been characterized as the production of a masterly mind, there was none, he said, so poor as to do it reverence. And the reason was obvious, because it was an entire abandonment of old and an proved principles. would induce him to go for it. (QAsthe report of the Postmaster General being the last series of documents accompanying the President's Message, may not find a place in our columns lor It was the creation oflsome days antl as tne Public is very desir- a new thing to concentiate and to perpet- !ous 10 see what lhe neaJ of he Post Office ua'e power in the hands ot those now ad- rtauiisnmeni. nas 10 say concerning Katl ministering the Government.

"It has occurred to me that the present was a most favorable period for the adop tion of some measure by Congress, where by to secure to the United States the right to transport the mail upon these roads in all time to cohip, free of any annual charge up jii the Post Office I), partment, by the advancement of a sum in gross, which ma) be agreed upon, to each uflhe.se companies, or such of them'as may be willing to con tract. Many of the rail road companies, and some of them constituting most impor tant links in the great chain of intercom munication between Boston and Charles ton, owing to the great derangement of the monetary concerns of the world, and the depression of all State and company stocks, find themselves laboring under embarrass ments and difficulties which the aid of the Genera! Government, applied in the way proposed, would effectually remove, and at the same time secure to the United Slates' die advantage and tiie ample equivalent of transporting the mail upon these roads. " The credit of the United States to an amount not greater than the sum necessary to pro luce at five per cent, interest, the a mount paid by the Post Office Department to these companies annually, would, 1 have no doubt, be sufficient to accomplish this desirable end. The prompt and favorable action of Congress upon this subject at the present time would effectually secure the Government against the danger of being called upon for occasional and large appro priations to meet the balances due by the Depattment " "Do I ask the United States to do more for the Post Office Department than justice would seem to demand, when it is remem bered that the whole expense of the official correspondence of the Government and the public, and private correspondence of those entitled by law to the franking privi lege, is sustained and paid by a tax upon the correspondence ol the community? If by this arrangement the Department is re lieved from the heavy annual charge as now rated, (and it has neither the power to lessen it norto prevent its increase,) it may be hoped that the object so much demand ed by considerations of public justice (that ot reducing the tax upon the friendly and business correspondence of individuals will be attained, and, at the same time, the use fulness of the public mail greatly enlarged and extended to those portions of the U nion hitherto measurably denied the ne cessary mail facilities. "If the Government was required to pay postage upon official coi respondence, and :r.t... c. i ! i i ii uiu naiiKing privilege was nooiisnea or reduced to proper limits, the revenue of the Department would be increased to an amount sufficient of itself to pay the inter est upon the debt to be incurred by the proposed arrangement, and liquidate the principal in less than thirty years. 4,I respectfully submit to the President the propriety of communicating to Con gress the views which I entertain and have here expnssed uponjhis subject. " er it was worth the metal which would be lost in its dissection. If he was permitted to express the strength of his conception ol its enormities, after divesting his mind of all pnjudice, and viewing itas a man of truth and honesty, after deliberatingon the condition of ihe Government in its worst time, he would say that he had never seen so bold and reckless a push for absolute power. The whole history of the Govern ment did not afford a single example of a stretch for power so bold; of which, if al lowed, the consequences would have prov ed so deleterious. If the overwhelming powers of this machine be superadded to the now tremendous powers of the Execu tive, though the Government be in the fee blest hands, it would break down the manli ness of the people, and prostrate public lib erty. R he thought the country was pre pared to receive the project, he should feel such oppression of mind, as he prayed neither he nor his children should ever be doomed to experience. To concentrate in the Executive, all the powers proposed by this moneyed machine, in the present spu rious condition of the currency, would ,-ause the State institutions to pop like the xplosionofa ship, if a hot shot was ihiown into her magazine. If this machine was permitted to go into operation, it .vould overshadow all the institutions of he country it would overwhelm the vvhole of us. We might then, indeed, lie lown in repose, but it would be a repose, absolute, mean, and despotic, such as a ,jioud man could never tolerate or live un der. He called upou Senators to look to he consequences of granting a power to Kepcrt ot mat Ulhcer lor the purpose ol placing at once before our readers so much of the Report as relates to that subject. Nat. Int. Extract from the Post Master General's Report. "An anxious desire to effect some perma nent arrangement with the railroad compa nies for the transportation of the mail, up on a basis which shall be both just and uni form, considering the nature of the service performed by each, induced me to invite a meeting of the presidents of the different companies, to the city of Washington, on the 1st of January next, and I am gratified at the prompt manner in which all who have been heard from have consented to attend, and a hope is cherished that some arrangement, satisfactory to all parties and beneficial to the public, may yet be effect ed. "The improved mode of intercommuni cation by railroad and steam, operating un der chartered rights granted by the States, and over which it is not pretended that the General Government, much less the Posi Office Department, can exercise any con trol, imposes upon Congress, in my opin ion, new duties and obligations, which can only be cancelled by the adoption of some measute whereby the Post Office Depart ment may, upon adequate consideration, secure by compact the right to transport the mail in the cars of railroad companies, and at the same time give to the Depart ment the power to control the departure and arrival of the same. "There is now paid to the different rail road companies annually, over $400,000 Report of the Secretary of the Treasu ry. The NationaHntelligencer of Tues day says, Ihe annual Treasury Report was. as we expected, sent to both Houses of Congress yesterday- It passed so rapidly into the hands of the printers to Congress, that we had only time to cast a transient glance over it, with a view to its promiu e'nt points. ' The state of the Treasury is of course the same as it was represented to be in the President's Message to Congress; that is to say, there will be an estimated deficiency in the Treasury on the 1st January next, requiring immediate provision to meet it, of 559, which deficiency is caused by the failure to obtain the necessary a mount of the Twelve Million Loan, incon sequence of the shortness of the time which it had to run. Mr. Stcretary Ew ing, the reader may recollect, when he ask ed for the loan to relieve the Treasury from incumbrances left by the late Admin istration, recommended that it should be authorized for a term of eight years, but, in passing the Loan Bill, Congress limited the loan to three years, too short a term to invite investment of funds in it by capital ists. This deficiency the Secretary recom mends shall be provided for by immediate authority being granted to issue Treasury Notes to the required amount. For the next year IS42 the Receipts into ihe Treasury, excluding the proceeds of sales of Public Lands, are estimated at SI 9,200,000, from which is to be deduct ed 6627,559, the estimated deficiency at the end of the present year. The Expen litures for the year, including the amount lecessary to redeem seven millions of out standing Treasury Notes, are estimated at 532,791,010, leaving to be provided, for in account of the expenditures of 1842, lhe estimated sum of $ 14,2 18,570. for 1S42, the S; cretary recommends to Congress to authorize an extension of the term -of the portion of the Twelve Million Loan not yet taken, and a re-issue of the Treasury Notes heretofoie authorized by law, amounting to five millions of dollars, he balance of lhe deficit in the ways and means, toge her with two millions of dol lars, (a surplus deemed necessary to be in the Treasury to meet emergencies in the public service.) to be supplied from im ports upon such foreign articles imported into the United States "as may be selected with due regard to a rigid restriction, in a mount, to the actual wants of the Govern ment, and a proper economy in its admin istration " This is the outline of the Budget, as it is very plainly and clearly stated in the Sec retary's U port. 1 he Report then goes into an argument upon the principles which j ought to govern the adjustment ol the la- tiffto the wants of the Government, of which as our readers will soon have it be- fore them entire, we frhall not attempt an abbreviation. I i To meet this deficiency in the - ,.4ue The devil Killed. The Raleigh Rasp gives the folloing account of a fellow being shot in Georgia lately in the disguise of a Devil: The fellow disguised himself with a club foot, went to the house of an old lady a rich widow, called himself the devil, and frightened the family off the premises, took the old lady's money, and eloped, in the act of retreating, he was met a mile or two from the house by a man with a gun, whj had bten to attend a muster, and was then returning home, who had taken a little too much of the "critter." The manupon meeting him, retreated, levelled, his gun, and demanded who comes there? "I am the Princeof darkness, but it is not thee I'm after, Jesse Bradlock, I had but one or two subjects and them I have despatched to the lower regions." Jesse not being disposed to let his devilship pass, presented his gun and ordered him not to move. Satan commenced swelling, emit ting smoke at the same time, and burning sulphur. Jesse not liking the scent of the sulphur, fired, and laid his Satanic Majesty a corpse at his feet! He then made his way to the house of the old lady, where he found the family in the greatest distress. Upon inquiry, he was told that the devil had been there, and they were compelled to fly to the woods for protection, or be carried off by him alive. Jesse informed them that he had just killed the devil. They immediately look the road, and tracked him by the track of the club foot until they cameup with his body, when they disrobed him of his garments, took off the club foot, recovered the money which he had stolen, washed his face and recog nized him as a man who had lived a neigh bor to them for many years. Squash Bonnels..The N.Y. Tattler co pies the subjoined article from a Texas pa per, and gravely puts the following query : Who knows but the annexed paragraph fiom a Texas paper, may be the herald of whole fields of bonnets, by and by supplant ing the pumpkin vines of New England: They do have some strange "things" in Texas. Only think of a lady with a culina ry vegetable on her head for a bonnet; 'yet such is the fact. The Houston Telegraph says that many of the western planters late ly introduced the culture of a species of quash that may be manufactured into bon nets, and several of the western ladies have already obtained beautiful bonnets from this hitherto despised vegetable. The bonnets are formed from the fine los sy fibrous lining of the ii.ierior surface of 'he squash, and are remarkable for the strength, lightness and delicacy of the tex ture composing them. They are so tena cious and flexible that they may be easily washed like silk. It is said a milliner some time since took one of these to one of the eastern cities of the United States, and it became quite an object of admiration. Possibly in a few years, these squash bon nets may become all the fashion; and even the pumpkin heads of the north m;y be decked with squashes from Texas." A woman with a horn. "I called sometime since to see one of the greatest curiosities that can be imagined. A wo man of Mrs. Sarah Shelton of Goochland, was badly burnt when young on her right knee; from the burn there has grown a horn, projecting outwards nine inches la length, and of an oval form until it reaches the thick part of the leg. It seemed to have every deposition to make its way into the flesh, if it was not prevented by a pad. From further examination and measure ment, where it made its first appearance, the diameter was 8 inches; at the lower end about three inches, nearly as wide as, three small fingers, with deep, rough'J es, and had the appearance of , jor 0f a kind of horn, somethinjS some time gun flint. DrJcp, anj have heard since fleaking it off. 1 inquired of the I'SAra'ri how Jong it had been growing: shd aaid abgut 5 years. Rich. Enquirer.
