FOR THE TAKBORO rKESS- TO MISS Now, lady! do forgive me, for once gzing on thy face. For inearh softerrd lineament a loveliness 1 trace; And beauty still has been to me a solace and delight. And joyful thoughts my bosnm fill when e'er it meets my sight. Oh! when I look upon those eyes, whose azure tinted hues Ten thousand speaking rays of light and loveliness diffuse; Suchblis is mine 1 cannot turn my ardent gaze away, Tho' conscious that each glance they send my peace of mind must slay. To cast myself in danger's way, is rashness Well I know, But who can stop the raging tide of passion in its flow? Can reason's voice the tumults still which maddens in the brain, No, when opposed to eyes like thine, her counsels are in vain. Yet even were those eyes less bright, less eloquent their beams, Were they less like what poet's feign, in fancy's pictured dreims; Kind Nature has bestow'd on thee, so ma ny vivid charms That each beholder's breast would be, fil led with love's soft alarms The witching smile that ever twines around thy ruby lip, Where little Cupi is seem to rove and pu rest nectar sip; Thy polish'd brow, thy blooming cheek, and dimpled chin are all Fashioned and formed so gracefully, the senses they enthral. Then, Lady! do forgive me, for gazing on thy face, For in each soften'd lineament a loveliness I trace; And beauty still hath been to me a solace and delight, And joyful thoughts my bosom fill when e'er it meets my sight. ANON. Fro?n the Washington Republican. see that the Hot ten Egg reso lution was cautiously ruled out of the nro ceedings of 'a portion of the 76 Whigs of rjiigecombe," published in the last "North State Whig." How is this? Have they not the right to be heard, through their own Journal, as to their true principles? Come let us have it neighbour. We may not have quoted it verbatim et literatim, and if so, we feel desirous to correct it, and will do so with pleasure. Let us have it in your next paper. "Resolved, That any Whig who fails to do his duty during this Congressional cam paign, shall be WHIPPED with Pipe Stems, and chunked with Rotten Eggs that have been discarded by the old wo men." This Resolution cannot be too often char Red home upon the Federalists of this district, during this Congressional cam paign. They have named themselves "Pipe Stem and Rotten Egg Whigs," and let us call them in future by the name of their own adoption. Be it recollecied that the resolution was adopted with unanimity and applause by the Whig Convention held here, but cautiously ruled out of the ".North State Whig" of last week, never theless it is as much a decree of the leading Vv higsof ,ne District, and as certainly and fully shadows forth the wishes and inten tions of the Convention, as did the nomi nation of Edward Stanly. Now who is to carry this Resolution into effect? Who to beat the people with many stripes, Qd smear them over from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet, with all the "Rotten Eggs" that can be collected, if any Whig is tardy in "his duty?" Is it to be done by those two "hog-Cabin boys" and tools of Clay, viz: George E. Bather .....turn in . .. cii r . i . inuugum, wnen iney come flown here to enlighten the people at the "great Whig feast" in May next? Will those very refined gentlemen of Edge combe, who originally adopted the resolu tion, perform those barn yard and hen house duties necessary for collecting a suf ficiency of those exhilarating pei fumes, 'rotten eggs?" We think it will take more rotten egg and pipe stem and coon skins, than are in the District to make the people swallow the decrees and sinking cause of Whiggery. The cause is every where going down by the gravity of its in justice, misdeeds and corruption; all the monarchical threats of Coon vention resolu tions, and all the electioneering appliances which Federalism can use will not arrest its downward progress. The people have sat in judgment upon Whig conduct, and pronounced an unfavorable verdict. 'I he irrsis'able tide of popular condemn ition i is flowing against them, and fast sweeping! i way their crumbling ramparts, in its over-i whelming force. The sea of the peopleV wrath against their doings, piomises and pretensions cannot, will not, he staved in its mighty progress. Democracy is swee ding hro.d cast throughout the land, cai rying every thing before it. In vain ma the Bank presses, with their combined and reckless hosts of Federalism, struggle agiinst its resistless current. Our cause is one of truth, of justice, of prosperity, ol equality, of Constitutional liberty. L t Whiggery reign, and it will cominue to spread, as it has ever done, confusion, hard times, high taxes, distress and ruin over the land, lear our glorious Constitution in to fragments, and eventually substitute ar istocracy ami monarchy in place of those sublime groundworks of our government. From elections which we have recently heard, wc are. outstripping any thing we had a right to expect. The Democrats have elected their candidates in some of Whiggery's strongest footholds. The friends of Equal Rights throughout the U nion are nowiairly aroused; our principles, are firmly seated in their confidence and affections, and Democracy will move on in its grand march, conquering and to con quer.

Raleigh Resr. Philadelphia, JJpril 15 For several days past, there has been quite an excite ment in this City among the disciples of Millerism, as it was supposed that yester day would witness the great catastrophe. It is said that numbers, in their ascension robes, have been sitting up night after night, to be ready at the moment, but in stead of nine feet of snow turning into oil to support the combustion, Good Friday brought nothing but heavy showers, and it was necessary to defer the confligration on account of the weather, if for no other reason. Pennsylvanian. Extraordinary Hail Storm. A letter received by a gentleman of Washington City, from Tampa Bay, dated 5th inst. says: I t has rained, thundered, and lightened more severely than 1 ever saw it in my life;and about three o'clock it began to hail, and continued for half an hour, sending down hail tones as large as my fist; and had it not been for a small sail we had to pro tect us, I really believe some of us would have had our brains knocked out. One man picked up ten doves and ther birds killed, and it actually killed fish in shoal water near the shore." Case of Seduction heavy damages The N. York Commercial of Wednesday says: A case of seduction, fraught with un common interest, was before the sheriff's jury on Monday evening, for assessment of damages, the defendant having allowed judgment to be taken by default. The parties had sustained the most exemplary character, both being highly respectable & well educated the defendant having trav elled extensively, and being withal a gen tleman of winning manners and address. What renders the recital the more painful, is the fact that the acquaintance of the par ties commenced in a Sunday school the seducer being the secretary of the school, and the young lady a teacher. We are 'old that he prosecuted his design upon street, in New York city. The young la her for months, with all the art of the most dy was bit'en in October last, by a favorite accomplished roue, amid the most earnest little dog, which had been for years a pet protestations of honorable designs, and the of the family. The dog was killed on the most solemn pledges of marriage. He1 same day in consequence of fears being en succeeded in winning the affections of his tertained that he was in a rbid state. As victim to the deepest recesses of her heart, j time passed away, the wound healed, the and although, like other villains, having circumstance was almost forgotten, until gratified his passions, he has flung her . last Sunday, when Mi-s Sanfoid experien 'like a loathsome weed away," yet she, a ced a peculiar sensation in the thumb mother now seven months, loves him iviih I which had been bitten; and discovered a all the ardor and sinvleness nf wnman'i' rpd rlijrnlm at inn uliimr the hanil and arm heart The damages claimed in thp rWl.i " ration were ten thousand dollars-, and of so aggravated a character did the sheriff's jury consider the case, after a full examin ation, that . they awarded the whole a mount. " Exemplary Damages. A trial which took place in the Circuit Court at Buffalo, a f w days since, excited considerable in terest. It was the case of Enderss Smar l.v, lor a breach of promise of marriage The jury g ive $ 1000 damages. Another trial took place between the same parties in a suit brought in the name of the father of the first plaintiff, for the seduction of his daughter. The jury gave $4000 damages. Mr. Fillmore addressed the jury for the plaintiff', with great effect. From the Roman N. Y. (Oneida Coun ty) Citizen. Horrible tf Mot her and Child starv ed to death. On Saturday last a gentle man brought to our village the following heart rending account. An Irishman with his family some time since took up his res idence in Florence in this county, 4 or 5 miles from the village, and a mile from any neighbor. L;st summer the man was killed by the falling of a tree, leaving a wife and three small children. Left thus alone, the poor woman managed to sustain herself and lit tie ones comfortably, till winter with its severity catre upon her. The deep snow shut her up within her little shanty, and she was soon forgotten by the world with out. One of her near neighbors chancing 1 to call her to mind, and proceeded to hcr'hoilse nearIy burie(1 fillf n cnmit V a e tn the snow. With much difficulty he succeeded in entering, and then, what a scene! In one corner lay the lifeless emaciated body of the mother. The suffering spirit had fled. By the side of their mother's corpse lay the three children, just gasping ,n the last staee of starvation. Thev were puses G a mother's heart, had for days ' 7 J borne the keen pains ol hunger, without tasting food, that she might give all of her anty tore to her starving children. She lived to see them devour the last crumb. . thon laid herself down and yielded to the agonies of death by starvation. Red River. It appears that by the re cent freshet in the Red river, 500 horses, 1500 hogs, and 1000 cattle of all kinds were lost. Three hundred balesof cotton, also, were lost, and S00 bales greatly dam agf,d. In some places the river was nine miles wide, and all the bayous, creeks, and branches appeared like foaming rivers. An immense quantity of agricultural products w.is lost. Most daring Robbery. Seventy Jive thousand dollars stolen. One of the mo!t daring robberies of which we have ever heard occured in the city of Columbus, (ia., on the 14th inst On the evening of that day, just as the officers of the Western Insurance and Trust Company of that city were about closing the vaults and bank for night, three or more persons entered the banking-house in disguise, secured the offi cers in such a manner as to render them un able to givean alarm, and then proceeded to rob the vaults. A reward of five thou sand dollars is offered for the recovery of the money, or a proportionate sum for any amount recovered, or lor any information which may tead to the recovery. This is certainly one of the most daring robberies which has ever occurred in this or any oth er country, and we trust that our constabu lary and police force, with every good cit izen, will be upon the look out lor the de tection of the perpetrators. It is some what singular that the source from which we derived our information gave no des ciiption of the persons of the robbers. They were, however, disguised, and under such circumstances a description would be dangerous. Dealhfrom Hydrophobia The New York Bulletin gives the particulars of a dis: tressing case of hydrophobia, which occur red at Nyack, Rockland county, in that Slate, last week. The victim was a Miss Sanford, who was the daughter 4f Mr. Sanfonl, formerly a grocer in Hudson H to the arm pit The sens ition soon spread along the line of discoloration, and increased until it be came painfully intense; and on Sunday evening when attempting to drink some water from a tumbler, she was attacked with an agitation which in a few minutes terminated in spasmodic affection, which continued to increase in intensity, aceom panied by foaming of the mouth, until her friends found it necessary to tie her. She continued in one uninterrupted agonizing convulsion until Monday afternoon, when death terminated at once her sutlerings and her life, in the very bud of womanhood, surrounded by every thing calculated to make life desirable, and just two weeks prior to the day on which she was to have been mai r ed ! Horrible The Norwich Courier give a brief report of a trial for manslaughter, revealing an act. of barbarity almost incred ible. The prisoners wen David Frnst and Ins wife Mary. It appeared in evidence that the prisoners and the parents of the child lived in the same tenement; that they met in the apartment occupied by Frost, on Saturday evening; that an altercation took place between the women; that Marx (the prisoner) .seized Sarah Gardner, tore her clothes, forced her out of doors, and took from her her child, which was retain ed. When she forced the mother out of doors, she told her she would burn up her child. In one hour ihe mother returned, forced open the outside door, went Jo her own room, and found her child lying in front of ihe fire, in the agonies of death. It had been placed so near the coals, as to roast it to death. The jury found Mary guilty, and she was sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the State prison. Jl Seduction Case. The Newark, N. J. Advertiser says: 4A case of some in terest has this week occupied the Circuit Court now in session in this citv, Chief Justice Hornblower presiding. It was a suit brought by David Morehouse, a res pectable farmer of Morris County, against William Kendall, a mechanic of New Providence in this county, for the seduc tion of his daogh'er under false pretences After a patient trial, during which the De fendant's estate was estimated at SI, 200, the jury rendered a verdict, of Sl,500, which will of course more than take the whole estatn, and leave a balance to be paid by his future earnings. Buried Triasure. An old French lady died a few days since in the Parish of St Landry, of general dehility. A few min utes before she disclosed to her children, who hung over her bel, that manj years before she had buried fourteen thousand dollars on the spot where her corn crib stood. Sure enough, when t he old woman was buried, the money was found as she stated. Ar. O. Pic. tf Spirited Girl. A Boston paper tells of a young lady who, having been several times insulted by some fellow who dogged her in the street, provided herself with a handful of cayenne pepper and snuff, which she threw into the eyes of the dandy the next time he accosted her. This was a warmer reception than he looked for. Vicfesburg, iilst March. 1843 News reached here this morning from Jackson by the railroad cars thai William II Shel ton, ivhilome President of the great Bran don Bank, and the 'Nick Biddle of the South,' has committed suicide! His hoise, hat, gloves, watch, and a letter addressed to some one. were found near the bank of Pearl River, in which it is supposed he drowned himself. He was in some way mixed up with the absconding Treasurer of Mississippi. He had perhaps been enga ged with him in speculating on the war rants of ihe State, and when the storm was about to bursl on Graves he borrowed some 6000 to a trend to loan to him, to enable him to make a fair showing. Subsequent ly Graves ran off, carrying with him the funds belonging to the State and the mon ey loaned him by Shelton. The friend of Shellon, a Mr. Crane, who had loaned him the money, called lor it, but he was una hie to refund. It appears that Shelton was examined before Judge Sharkey when Graves was arrested, and pending that trial he swore he had never a money transaction of any kind with him! When Crane found that Shelton could not or would not (repay the money he had borrowed, ha tl reatened to prosecute him for perjury on Graves' examination 1 Hi- reply was that Crane might vent his spite, but he would never be able to reach him, as, before he could t tke any steps, he, Shellon, would be in eternity! The result is known, and the great fin ancier of the Brandon Bai-k. the nun who in h s time has wielded m lli ins, comman ded ihe esteem of his fellow men, and en joyed the confidence of 'tronps of friends,' is now no more than as much Mrash as you ca-i grasp thus! Verily the Way of the transgressor is hard. The man who as President of the Brandon Bank deluded thousands to their ruin, has himself been deluded unto death. Graves has not yet been heard of, and 1 doubt if he will be soon. He is a double distilled vil lian, who in his grasping avarice forgot even that there should be 'honor among thieves.' The family of Shelton is entitled to and receives the sympathy of the community. They have not only to witness the burning brand of disgrace placed on the memory of one they have loved and honored, but brought to fed the keen and bitter pang of hopeless poverty. The man who has com manded miliions, leaves his family a herit age of shame, and a blighted name to con trast with the memory of better days. The Whig of Monday says: The body of Win. H. Shelton, was found in Pearl River, on Saturday, about fifty yaids below where his tracks had b en seen on the bank of the river. We understand that great excitement still pre vailed in Jackson, and Mr. Crane, who is upposed to have knowingly participated in the transaction between Shellon and Graves, was very much censured by the people. The bereaved family of Col. Shelton are incnnsolable; it was feared that Mrs. Shelton would destroy herself. Bui the tragedy does not end here. Such was the effect produced upon the mind and health of Mrs. Shelton by the sudden and awful death of her husband, that she sur. vived him but a few days. So says ihe Vicksburk Sentinel. Hymeneal Statist Ye. -The Lancaster (Pa.) Examiner has a very humorous arti cle under this head, which is quite too long for us, but il concludes with a tabular summary well worth quoting.
