BY I.ENOIKK. 1 FoBXOj within a sheltered Jul, A lowly little f!wer ; Yet loved it more than proudest rno That blooms in garden bower, As if to guard it from all harm, ' Its tinny cup was set Within a bed of softest moss -'Twa the sweet white violet. And freely forth on every breczo Ila rich perfum" was cast, As, nestled in its little ce'l, It tosascd me as I passed. I wouhKmy lot might be like thine, 0 sweet and gentle flower ! In such a home of pcaca mid lovo To wait my life's last hour. A mind too lowly for storms to move, I'd have, bright flower ! from tl ee ; And pure as thine own stainless cup 1 would my heart might be. As that my soul might then be filled, Shoald be my last rich boon, . Witli holy lova, as thy pure bell la filled with aweet pcrfumo. A love that freely npon all Should pour its gladdening ray, And leave a memory fond and dear When lift had passed away. Said I "my last rich boon" ? 0 no ! Another one I'd crave, . With a violet's love, and a violet's life, I'd ask a rlolet'a grave. In thy mossy bank, where rests the last , Fond rays of th setting aun, To sleep my last and dreamless sleep, When life'a long day is done. MISCELLANY. AMERICAN SOLDIERS. It lit fact that, while Hungarian and- other refugees are Invited to settle on American land, and while Senators of the United States contend which (hall go farthest in voting farms to the sol diers of ether countries, the widows of officers and toldiers of the United States Army are not entitled to a picayune in silver, or to acre of land from that government In whose service their husbands and fathers toiled, fought and died, unless perchance they deid o the field of battle, Why living foreignerkthould be entitled (o grea ter sympathy from the American Government than living American women whb are survivors and' rep resentatives of brave American soldiers, is a ques tion which we confess ourselves nimble to answer. The Good Book has emphatically declared, and very wise tnd generous heart will endorse the de. els ration, ""He who pfotideth not for fiis own is worse than a infidel," We are willing and deal foes to provide a refuge for the oppressed sons of liberty from every climate, but justice, nature, grat llo.de and wisdom all dictate that wcsliould first ."STOP THAT KNOCKING." The "mysterious spirits" at Rochester, whose amies have created so much wonder, were caught napping, a few days ago, The Buffalo Cour ier says; -; A young niari ca.lli'J a day or two since, npon the ladies in whose hooping are the Rochester rpirits. His bearing was snd, and h's voice was tremulous with emotion. Sorrow was in his countenance, and a weed was on his hat. Ho sighed us he took a seat, and the bystanders pitied him as tlipy raw him draw forth a spotless handker chief and wipeawny a tear that had gathered in his eye. Af:cr a few moments he took one of the ladies n side, and requested, if convenient to be put in communication with the spiritual essence of his muther, andh5' wiped his eyes rapidly and fobbed. A period of quiet clasped and a knock was heard signifying that the deceased correspondence could be heard, and with a hesitating voice, the young man commenced questioning the invisible one. . "How long had I gone before you died J" A length of time was stated. "Where are you now, mother? are you hap- py'". :. The knocking indicated that the spirit was at rest. 1 "Are those .of your friends who have gono before with you V "They were," said the knocking. "Then you can recognize them perfectly ?"..- The noise certified the affirmative. "Can you see me at all times when you wish I" 7 he raps proclaimed the perpetual clearness of speaker's vision in that respect The gentleman seemed relieved, and the specta tors stood overwhelmed with wonder. Ta king his hat, the mourner rose, thanked the ladies, and a6 he stood in the door, quietly remarked "I have been very much cnterjaine d, as no doubt my mother herself will bf, for 1 left her at hmet, not half an hour sitter, basting a turkey for dinner!', Mr. Mani : Please send me another copy of the "Old North State," of to-day, as some one has bepn kind enough to take mine before 1 had ooened it.

THE FOOT.' AND BENTON SCENE. Mrs.- Sw'tfhehi of Pittsburg, who wields a horsewhip, and a pen with equal dexterity, was ah eye-witness of the scene which passed in the Sen ate. She gives the result of her observations to the New Yerk Tribune, and does not hesitate to denounce Con. Foote'a conduct as cowardly. She says : .- . : . "Brule force then has usurped the place ofmnr al courage, and Feote showed this to day. His conduct was cowardly. . I cannot rndersand how any one could run or retreat as fast as he did, from such an attack'; but he h evidently a nervous man, one who would require time for reH-clion beforo he could act cooly. He has nothing of tii! look Northern people: would suppose from his char acter, lie is old ;.his head is almost entirely bald, and no look of the bully in his face or manners . He has a restless appearance, with rather a mild expression-of countenance, and urbane manners. It is hi nervous excitability that gets him into quarrels ; and Col. Benton did what was very un worthy of himself and his prsent position when he meditated any personal chastisement, no matter how provoking the other may have been in his re marks. I do no', beleivo Col. Benton would have struck him if he had stood still and faced him as he oameup, wlmtevr his intentions might; have been in cominj toward hnn. According to Foote'a own account he retreated before Benton got half way to him which would argue, that he got scared very soon, or was eager for a fight. The following is Mrs. Swisshelin's accont of the scene. , ' Thnn Mr. Foote took the floor snd soon reached a towering height of gasconading eloquence. Ho lauded the Southern Address, of which Mr. Ben ton had spoken as causing needless alarm, and dec! ired it the production of the honorable Senator for whom every good man in the nation was now in mourning. His stile ot speaking struck me as ludicrously grandiloquent, and rather sarcastic in its personal references to Mr. Benton ; hut this gentleman did not appear at all disturbed. I look- at him, and could see no indication of excitement. Suddenly Mr. Foote paused in his flight of elo quence and came down to his naturally calm tone, which is really very pleasant. " He was evidently preparing lor some grand demonstration. no turned and with a wave of the hand and inclina tion of the head to or toward Col. Benton, gave evidence that he had some personal remarks to make, but declared he was determined to be gov ernhd by strict parliamentary rules. I glanced to Col. Benton. He looked calm, then tack to the speaker, who in an ironical manner, was pronounc ing the words "the ttdest senator on una noor , this was alluding to Mr. Denton, and as he com menced the nxt sentence, he started, running up the narrow aisle toward the President's desk, and looking back over his shoulder as he got a pistol out of his tide pocket, lie gained the opening a round the President's desk before there wae any general movement among the Senators, and there he cocked, or tried to cock, hit pistol, pointing the muzzle toward the ground. He appeared to nave tome trouble in drawing the lock, but I think be got it set. Glancing back, I saw Col. Benton in the passage that runs around under the gallery and behind the seats. He was near Mr. Foote't teat, but riot inside the bar of the House. Mr. Foote't seat it on the outside of the circle and next to the balustrade that divides the bar from the passage, running round and close to one of the little doors, the first from the main entrance to the President's right hand. Col. Benton's is similarly situated but further round to the same side. Some gentleman in the passage thought Mr. Benton was leaving the Chamber in anger; but Lieut. Gov. Dickinson of your Slate says he knew from the manner in which he thrust his chair back, that he intended to attack Mr. Foote: but he did not get in through the door near his seal; and was not within two or three steps of it when Mr, f oote reached the open space in Iront ot the Chair. Some gentleman took him hack to his own place, and H. Foote was calling upon them to let him come on, he was perpared. Sume one canght his arm and Mr. Dickinson took the weapon from him. He appeared perfectly cool and took the precaution to keep the muzzlo downward while he took it from Foote's grasp. Just here nil was con fusion, the President's hammer going but scarcely heard ; the men in the gallery were swearing, the members on the floor rushing up and calling all manner of order and disorder. Mr. Foote was taken back to his seat, and Col Benton now ap peared to have learned that his antagonist was armed, and soon became the cynosure of all eyes. He appeared fairly insane with rage was trying to get off his coat , snd thundering, "Let me go! to those who w?re holding him "He has a pistol, has he 7 Let him fire f let me go 1' stand off!" And close at my side some men had burst into the Reporter's gallery, "Foote's a coward a d d coward." "Take care what you say, Sir!" "D d if I can! he's a coward he runs and draws a pistol !" Benton was roaring and strug gling below ; the men liktly to precipitate them selves over the Ladies' gallery above, the sound of glass breaking mingled with the other sounds, and hurly-burly, what a mess! I thought Benton's clothes would have all been torn to ribbons. As many its could get hold ol him clutched him tightly, while some moved desks and chaiVs to give room. Mr. Foote made no effort to raach him , and be ' pan to protest the reason why he drew a pistol. Benton had been roaring, "I am not artored! and throwing back his coat, to show that he Was. not, was because, he thought, "the gentleman" had orie. "lam not armed I never carry arms I Let me go to the assassin ! Let me g-ot" It was too comical, In the very midst' of tlie scene, to see Dickinson stand up as cool ar a cucumber, after he had kicked tip the pistol, and call, loud enough to be heard above all, for "the business before the Senate." , MR.

Many of our citizens "ssembled to pay the last com pliments. The flag of the United States shroud ed in crpe, was raised half mast, and mirute guns fired during the time the cortege remained. For many years, our cilizens have assembled twice in each year, to. witness the passage of Mr. Calhoun, too and from the seat of Government. To grasp that warm hand always extended in kindness and friendship. To gaze on that brilliant eye, which ever spoke eloquently the kind-and patriotic feelings of his heart. To day we assembled to pay our last respects, and weep over his body. While we mourn a loss (Tie world cannot fill, we have comfort and consolation to see his remains brought nmongst us hy such distinguished men as are following him to his grave. Each and all of them have their names inscribed high on the front of the Temple of Fame entitled thereto by their eminent services on the Bench, in the Senate, and in the Field. In our hearts we add an additional and higher praise, and tnscriie after each name: He was the "fbieso-aiso selected mouhxer of John C.

'Life itself, said the sago, 'is but a compromise between life and death ; the struggle going on al most through he whole period, until at last the destroyer is successful.' "What a text! what a sermon ! The exper ience and wisdom and knowledge and judgement of the most brilliant life of the century summed up in a few words, snd deliberately uttered in defence of the greal principle upon which society, the worlJ and the universe is held together. Commencing with the most insignificant want of (he meanest and obscurest animal, that compromises will) ex istence for a few grains of mouldy corn anil a warm furrow underground, to (he myriads of solar system that in the immensity of space wheel bar moniously around their centers, kept in their places by the eternal compromise between centripetal and centrifugal attraction, all is compromise not! ing on earth nor in the firmament is iilira.

The Parkesbttrg Gazette of the Cth inst., men tions the escape into Ohio of seven slaves fonr belonging to Col; Turner BowKvafe and three to Thomas Tavenner, Esq, Both these gentlemen' ive upon the little Kanawha, and their slaves es caped by a skiff down that stream to its mouth, thence ctoBsing to Ohio. Arrived in Ohio, they become bewildered, and knew not what course to take. On Tuesday, a friend of the owners lear ned that tlie negroes were at Point Harmer, not far from opposite his residence. He repaired to that place, and rnct a number af the runaways, three of whom without hesitation, consented to re turn to their master. The others would have done so, but the by-standers interfered by advice and threats to prevent their return, and afterwards sup plied them with a vehicle to carry them to the in terior, where they were beyond the reach of rescue. One of the frjgftrvcs,- a Woman, had stolen fifty dol lars from her matter, whicnwifl piobably go into the pokets of her new friends. The Gazette givet the namet of the persons in Ohio most active in the theft, all of whom are said to be men of fair stand ing in their community, and adds : "This is one of the worst features in the case. If respectable individuals will so far lose tight of their obligation! under the constitution, what may we not expect from the illiterate and disreputable J One of the citizens of Point flarmar, we learn, wat rudely assaulted and mal-treated, because suspected of a design to assist the owners in recovering their prop erty. And, to vent their spleen at not effecting the escape of all the slaves, warrents are out for the apprehension of one of our citizens and one of their own, who were instrumental in the recap ture. "If this state of things continues to exist, it must be evident to every observer, that peace will not lom dwell npon our borders. Property in slaves and the right to recapture those that abscond, are points guarantied to the citizens of Virginia by the national constitution. Now, if the people of Ohio, are unable of1 unwilling to comply with the terms of a compact voluntarily entered into by their fath ers or themselves let them comers their inability or indisposition let them withdraw from alliance whose conditions they fail to observe let them renounce the constitution whose behests they have so often set at nought. Let them crime 6nt openly and above-board, denounce the fundamental laws of the land and not profess art observance of that sacred rnatrument in one breath, only to counsel its milification in another. On this point, there is no difference' of opinion In the Sooth: our slave property must be allowed the protection guarantied to it by the constitution, or the union is at an end, It is useless to say that the remedy will not apply te the disease : men will bear from an enemy what they will not tolerate from those Who wear the rem blance of friends." - COINCIDENCE The following remarkable fast is mentioned by a writer1 in the Nstinnal Intelligencer, after' stating that Hon.
