In youth exalted high in air Or bathing in the waters fair Nature to form me took delight And clad my body all in white, My person tall and slender waist, On either side with fringes graced ; Till me that tyrant man espied, And dragged me from my mother's side. No wonder now I look so thin, The tyrant stript me to the skin, My skin he glazed, my hair he cropt, At head and foot my body lopt And then with heart more hard than stone He picked my marrow from the bone; To vex me more he took a freak To slit my tonge and make me apeak : But that which wonderful appears I speak to eyes and not to ears. He oft employs me in disguise, And makes me tell a thousand lies ; To me he chiefly gives In trust To please his malice or his lust ; From me no secret he can hide, I see his vanity and pride ; And my delight is to expose His follies to his greatest foes. All languages I can command, Yet not a word I understand, Without my aid the best divine In learning would not know a line, The lawyer must forget his pleading, The scholar could not show his reading ; Nay man my master is my slave : I give command lo kill of save, But while I thus my life relate I only hasten on my fate My tongue is black my mouth is furred I hardly how can force a word I die unpitiedand forgot, And on tome dunghill left to rot.

Beautiful, peerlessly beautiful is the lady Manuelitn, the only daughter of Rosas, the famous and powerful President of the Argen tine Republic ; powerful in the strength of his mind, and in the iron resolution of his char acter, which has enabled him to control and sway a people who none save him can keep in oidcr, and to defy the united attempts of England and France to break up his cotn meice and bend him to their terms. We say that the lady Manuelia is beau tiful, but her talents, graces, and accomplish ments, alone sustain and render her beauties perfect and harmonious. It almost seems a subject of surprise that this fair lady, so attractive in manners, and so elevated in her position, should havo arri ved at the age of twentyfive years without a thought of approaching the hymenial altar, yet so it hath been, not however, from lack of solicitation and opportunity, for many a 1 noble and bravo cavalier has knelt and sued ! for the lovo and hand which might bless a King, but because : First of all her suitors, not one, when weighed in tbo careful balance of ber dis- criruiuntinc: judgment, but lacked soma of those qualities of head and heart which alone could win and fix ber pure and lofty affec tions, Second Had any cavalier presented him self, possessed of all tho qualities which would gain ber love, she could not leave her father's side, for as necessary as dew is to the flower, as light in darkness is to man, was she to him. She has ever acted as his advi ser and confidant ; she alone can guide and sway his stern will, she alone can solten bis heait when it is frozen in its stern resolves. i He could not live without her. She receives : his company, writes his private and important documents, keeps watch and ward over nis in terests and safety, and becomes even as it were a second self unto him. But to our story. A short distance up the river above Buenos Ayres, General Rosas has a beautiful coun- ' . : irv anr. wnern nupn in rna warm summer ' , , . . , . 1 .into uv nuu iiio uauiiici icing iu ciijujt i"' fragrant perfume which arrives with the evening breeze from tho groves of peach, lemon and orange, which cover it. A few rears ago during a heavy gale, a ship was driven high and dry by the winds j ""r uicia iuiu mo Tery iinusi ui una , favorite plantation of the President's, and whpn 'he gale obated she was left In the po "Hon from which It was found impossible to remove her. To please his daughter, General Rosas brought this vessel and refitted her beautiful- ( !y, to serve the Lady Msnuelita as a summer j bouse, and a unique and beautiful ono did it make ; imbeded not in the azure waves of the ocean, but in a perfect sea of flowers and fruits. In the elegant cabin of this vessel oc 'curredthe first scene of this brief but true story. It was on ft lovely a'lemoon in summer, the Lady Manuelia sat by the stern window 6f the vessel, enjoying the sweet breathing xenhyrs as they came from their homes amid BY THOMAS LORINO. MORNING, JULY 17, 1847. the fragrant flowers, as she sat and gazed She wo alone, and out upon the warm? trees and bright winged birds which flew from branch to brnncn, she sighed as if she had nut been formed for loneliness. Al the same moment the door towards which her back was turned was cautiously opentd. She heard it shut. Then between the rich velvet hangings which hung in crim son folds before it, quietly stepped a noble looking cavalier and as he slowly advanced towards her, there could be rend in his face the written poetry of love aye, even to a pas sionate idolatry ol be r who was before him. He was young, not more than twenty five, his features regular as Apollo could have de sired, bis eyes dark and bright as a gazelle's, his lofty brow and neck as white as alabaster, was wreathed by dark and curling masses of jet and glossy hair ; a glossy moustache and beard as soil and curling as the hair which crept down upon his broad shoulders, con trasted with the rosy hue of health worn upon his expressive face ; his tall, manly form was dressed in a rich uniform, which betokened that he had a commission in her father's cavalry. Slowly and cautiously tbo young officer approached the lady, still unseen and unheard by her. Again she sighed. He knelt by ber side, j and gazed upon the snow white hand, which j with its taper fingers covered with jewels, hung down against the arm of an ottoman upon which she reclined. Again she sigh- rd. The cavalier bent down his noble head, aim me lauy sumeu iu uoi icci on bud itn o warm kiss impressed upon her hand. Not terror stricken did she scream or turn j to fly, as other maidens would have done, but '; with a flashing eye, reddened cheek and frowning brow, as she drew up her stakly form, in queenly dignity, she proudly exclai med. 'Who dare, intrude' but ere she finished the exclamation she saw the sad and respect ful gaze of the youth, who still knelt at her feet, and her anger seemed to vanish, and her tone softened, as she continued 'Ah 1 is it you, Don Elvardo I I might have known none other would have dared the liberty which you have taken.' 'Pardon, lady ; I could not have gazed upon the hand which Iso long have coveted, and refrain from telling it how much I loved its mistress.' 'Rise, Elvardo 1' said tho lady, sadly; 'I wish you would never speak to me of lovo again, at least while while ' 1 he lady blushed confusedly, and paused Tk . u i : : ,..., f .nA . I " r IV 'While I Oh; what mean you by that word ? even it gives light to the hope which alone keeps my heart alive. Ob, lady for the love of holy Heaven, tell me, have I cause to hope? Am I more to you than the many others who kneel in homage to your charms?' 'Were you not, do you think I would per mit bim to live who has dared the familiarity for which you but now crave humbly my pardon ' 'Ob, lady then am I blessed indeed ? Oh! when may I call you mine ?' 'When I am Ire from my present engage ments.' 'Free I present engagement I Lady it is cruel to triflle witb a burstling heart I' 'I do not trifle, Elvardo ; lam willing to acknowledge that I love you, but it may be long before we can unite. I have a duty, a sacred, imperative duty to perform, which love nor pleasure nor aught on earth can in duce roe to forego. If you love me your love will not fade, like your summer flowers with age. My father alone cannot bear the care, fatigues, and vexaiioos oi bis office He uiijy c av. it I mi. u. cannot spare me, and I canoot marry while ae is in oiuce inueeu ne never win codscdi to part with me, so necessary have I now be come to him.' 'Lady, cruel, would be the delay ! know you noi that while be lives the people will nave no other President He alone can please and govern them; they will have no other oh. tor the love you have out now " i j confessed, decide not so, else years and years will roll away, and we will still be as now ! His death alone' 'Ob I speak not of that Elvardo, said she, i - j r i as toe large QBW urops oi tne sou i rose in ner lustrous eye, ' I love my father.' ' Lady, I must obey, and await my time,' said the youth, and as he spoke a wild, strango light beamed from his eyes, even as if some desperate conceit bad entered his mind. She did not observe it but rising said. You may now escort me back to the city, Elvardo. The evening dews will soon be gin to fall, and I must dress for the tertullia which I give to-night you will bo there? 'I will angel mial' responded the cavalier as he led her forth.' It was tho still hour of midnight, and Gen. Rosas was in his private chamber, sat beside a table filled witb papers and documents, now reading and signing one, and then another. Yes while his people were enjoying the quiet rest which nature demands, he, the greatest among them, was toiling lor their benefit, laboring both in mind and body for their good. His daughtor was beside him, busit y en NO. 52. faged in copying private letter for her father but started, ni a gentle tap at the door anno unced a visitor. 'Who is there Y said the stern as he laid his band upon a richly General. mounted weapon which lay near him. 'The sentinel V was the answer in low respectful tone. 'Whnt is wanted V 'I bear a present for your excellency, which has just been left, with strict orders to be de livered to your excellency alone.' 'Enter I this, methinks, is a strange hour for a present. From whom doth it come V 'I know uot, your excellency,' said the soldier as he laid a neat, square box of rose wood upon the table, and placing ibo key on the card which was fastened on parted. its top, ae- 'Open it, daughter, I hare not time,' said the General, as he again turned his attention to a military report which he was reading. Oh, I know who it is from It is in his hand writing I' exclaimed she, as she glanc ed at the card upon its top. Oh, what pre sent could ho havedestined for the father of her whom ho loves? 'He, whom, daughter?' 'Father, the suDerscriotion on this card is in the well known, hand writing of the Irate cavalier, Don Elvardo Escudero, and he has m this delicate way sent you somu kingly present, I'll warrant me ?' 'Well, well, open the box my child, and satisfy your curiosity.' The lady took the key and turned it in the 1 lock: out as sne raisca me iiu tne report oi a volley of pistols almost deafened her, and with one wild scream she reeled, and fainting fell to the floor, amid a cloud of smoke from the now open box.' In nn instant the President sprang to her side. Oh, God I my daughter is slain I" said be in agony but bis heart was cheered sea in as he spoke. "No no, not slain, my falher, bu the he would have slain you to win me!" and ngain she fainted. By this time the room was filled with soldiers and officers drawn thither by the repoit of arms, and a hasty ex amination of the infernal machine for suchjt was, explained the plot against the General's life, a row of loaded pistols had been so pla ced along the box that any one standing in front of it to open it, would receive the con tents in his body.

' From iwy section t oar own Eutiasl well as those) of, (be South tod Sooth West, we learn, that the prospects of (ha Cottot ctof are exceedingly bad. The late) backward spring, and the protracted rain, hart) don serious injury to the jomj plant, and unless the future brings forth mora cheering pros pects, we fear that oar planters will lift cause to rrgret their not turning their sften tiorVmoie to the cultivation of grain. From some portions of the country where rain has not prevailed, we hear that insects are begin ning to make theft appearance, and this, add ed lo the wet, will do much towards prodae ing far leas than an average crop. The Grain crops, we are pleased to find, look remarkably well, ar the approaching harvest bids fair to bean unprttJentdJy htrg one. We annex several extracts from our es changes on the subject : From the Charleston Mercory of the 9th inst , we learn that the- following extracts of letters were received at tbat city from geoUe men whose character and means of informa tion render their statements of the highest au thenticity. The first is from Abbeville, and is as follows : " Our Cotton crops in Abbeville art mora unpromising than I have ever seen them, antf they are suffering under evils thil no future events can entirely remedy. - " The stand of Cotton is very much injur ed by the lice, and the plant is very back ward; moreover it has been a difficult sea son to keep a clean crop, Corn is promis ing ; Wheat only tolerable. Could the Sa-" vannab river be made navigable for steam boats for ciehtv miles above Hambartr. wo V could grow rich by furnishing yoa with Corn, Wheat, Oats and Hay. " We hare all the elements of a fine farm ing country." The other is dated St. Matthew's, and says: "Our prospects for a Cotton cropare wonto than I have ever known." This information is but confirmatory of that derived from various sections oi the State, all going to show that so far as Sorjth.Caro lina is concerned, the Cotton crop most fall far below an average ont; and from the ac counts received, wc are ted to infisf a simitar result in Georgia and Lower 'Alabama. From Mississippi and Louisiana the accounts are mors favorable. The flattering prospect of a corn ciop in (his District,' i maeed encouraging. Weare informed that tot corn, especially some smn or eight miles south of this, on the Black stock Road, was never known to look better; and if we may be allowed to mention names, the corn crops of Capt. Ralph Smith, DMc A bee and A. J. Daniel, Esqrs., are said to beat any former crops; and these are fair specimens of tbs crop generally thronghout tbt District , The Wheat Crop seems to turn out better than was expected in the Spring, thavgn light, notwithstanding. The Cotton Crop is rather sorry, general ly, though in some parts of the District it is said to be tolerably good. Sparta. After tin or twelve days of dry weather, we bave bad, again, a great deal of rain. It bas come in good lime, ( perhaps rather soon er than it was wanted,) for the corn, but un less it ceases soon, it will greatly injure oats as it is just the time for harvesting. The P nnusuiuy one, and woow bo very aounoant it we couw oavasmUole weather for harvesting. We are informed that the cotton crop is seriously injured by insects Pendleton Muungtr. The continued wet Is qoite unfavorable to tbe cotton plant Grass and weeds sprout and flourish upon tbe slightest opportunities, and there is danger and apprehension that the plant wilt shed. But, as yet, we have heard no complaint The prospect through out Middle Florida, is, we think, fair. Wet weather is usual with us at this season of the year, and, if it does not continue too long, there is no cause now in existence, to our knowledge, to prevent an average crop. In tbe way of provision crops ibe promise is even better than last year. Corn bas at tained a remarkably fine rowth, and the green ears gameiea promiscuously lor tne tabic, have never been larger or better filled. Tbe crop will be abundaoL i7a. SemtintL The Montgomery Flag and Advertiser of m Thursday lat, says We bave bad heavy and continued falls of rain daring lb but week, which we fear bave dona serious in jury to the crops generally, and lo the cotton in particular. The cotton hjs been hack ward and unusually small, and required some warm, dry weather to bring k out Tho weather of last week has been very unfavor able to it, being both wrt and cool. The Chambers Herald nf Friday, the 2d, makes a similar complaint of tbe weather itjaaf county. A correspondent of the N. O. Delia, writ ing from Clinton, La,, says that the seasons, so far, bave been remarkably propitious lor the growth of Cotton, and U the worm should fail to make a visit, tha crop will never hart been better.
