Here the evil and the ju?t, Here the youthful and the old, Here the tearful and the bold, Here the matron and the maid In one silent bed are laid: Here the vassal and the king; bide by side lie withering; Here the sword and sceptre rust 'Earth to earth and dust to dust'." Age on age shall roll along O'er this pale and mighty throng: Those that wept them, those that weep, All shall with these sleepers sleep, Brothers, sisters of the worm, Gentle gale or raging storm, Song of peace or battle's roar, Ne'er shall break their slumbers more. Death shall keep his sullen trust "Earth to earth and dust to dust!" But a day is coming fast, Earth! thy mightiest and thy last! It shall come in fear and wonder, Heralded by trump and thunder; It shall come in strife and toil, It shall come in blood and spoil, It shall ccme in empire's groans, Burning temples, trampled thrones: Then Ambition, rue thy lust! "Earth to'earth and dust to dust!" Then shall come the judgment sign; In the east the King shall shine; Flashing from Heaven's golden gate, Thousands, thousands round his state, Spirits with the crown and plume; Tremble then thou sullen tomb! Heaven shall open on our sight, Earth be turn'd to living light, Kingdom of the ransomed just "Earth to earth and dust iodust! " Then thy mount, Jerusalem, Shall be gorgeous as a gem! Then shall in the desert rise Fruits of more than Paradise; Earth by angel feet be trod, One great garden of her (iod! 'Till are dried the martyrs tears Through a thousand glorious years! Now in hopes of HIM we trust, "Earth to earth and dust to dust!" Survey of Roanoke Inlet. We are pleased to have it in our pow er to inform our readers (says the Elizabeth-City Star) that the Uni ted States having ordered a sur vey of this Inlet, Lieut.

A hero of the west being lately in Raleigh, astonished the North Carolinians not a little by pro claiming his unheard of composi tion and powers. "I am," said he, "half horse, half alligator, with a small touch of the snap ping turtle; but that's quite com mon where I come from. I can ride upon a streak of lightning, whip my weight in wild cats, and if any gentleman chooses for a twenty dollar bill he may throw in a panther; I can hug a bear too close for comfort, leap the Ohio, wade the Mississippi, and llog any man opposed to Jackson." ib. mhficT other things "there are one hundred men in Albemarle coun ty better qualified for the Presi dency." Mr. C. refers in the ge neral, without naming a:y one, to many persons who had heard Mr. J. express similar sentiments also to a letter from the late Peter Miner to his brother Garret Mi ner, detailing a conversation with Mr. J. subsequent to Mr. C.'s and he likewise publishes a writ ten statement to Mr. C. by Mr. Thos. W. Gilmer, one of the edi tors of the Charlottesville Advo cate. Mr. G. mentions that he heard Mr. Jefferson say, before the last election that "one might as well make a sailor of a cock or a soldier of a goose, as a Presi dent of Andrew Jackson" but Mr. Adams, if he entertain; could have ventured to expye and act upon, the ultra-fcdcra opinions he so soon disclosed af ter his election. And, if upon tl ground, Mr. Jeflerson changed opinion of the relative claims of Jackson and Adams, he did $o with thousands of his countrvme Gov.

The brig Nautilus, which recently sailed from Hamp ton Roads, bound to the American settlement in Africa carries out an addition of 104 members to that flourishing colony.

I think in the conversation just alluded to, he spoke of him as having been al ways one thing in politics, and hav ing undergone no actual change since the days of his pupilage in the school of the elder Adams." The Richmond Enquirer has some lengthy remarks on the a bove statements, from which we extract the following: " 1 he letter and documents pub Hard Times. An extensive sale of real property took place in this town, (says the Wilmington Recorder) on the 14th inst.

Mr. Edward Coles, of Illinois, has yielded to. the application of eight gentlemen of that State, and giv en them a statement of the re marks made to him by Mr. Jef ferson, upon Gen. Jackson's "qua lifications and fitness for the Pre sidency." This expose has been published by them in the Vanda lia Intelligencer of the 1st Dec. His conversation with Mr. Jefler son is said to have taken place on the 11th Aug. 1825; Mr. C. repre sents that "having failed to elect Mr. Crawford, he (Mr. J.) ex pressed gratification that the choice had fallen on Mr. Adams. to whom, he said, he had objec- uons, several ot winch he explain ed;" that Gen. Jackson had no "other pretensions to the Chief magistracy than that derived from his military services" that in re ply to a remark of Mr. C.

They were both written after Mr. Jelferson had seen Mr. Adams' Iirst Message to Coniness.

Shall we give up the ship! No, by heaven, not while there is a man left to tread the deck!" We arc not at all sur prised at the publication of Gov. Coles. We knew that at the time of the late Presidential election, Mr. Jelferson preferred Mr. Ad ams to Gen. Jackson; that he had expressed that preference; and that it was founded on the idea that Mr. Adams had been belter educated, had seeu more of the practical operation of the Execu tive branch of the Government, and had had more experience in it, than Gen. Jackson. Until ac tually convinced of the fact, Mr. Jefferson could not believe that SALE OF Negroes, Land. Sfc.
