CO- The ideq of a man putting sugar in the

he discovered it was too short, is altogether
new. We advise the toriep to resort to this re

are getting very ?hort about these times.
Guns. The number of cannon captured by our
force* iti Mexico exceeds 5000, most of theui very
heavy pieces. If stacked together they would mako

OLD ZACH:
OR,
The March to the Rio Grunde.
BY rRAVfis h. D*vitX!E, of Washington, D. C.
'Twm near the end of April's inoon, .
When Yankee lads look up ihe tune,
And jwore they'd dance fandangoes doon,
On the bank* of the Rio Grande.
Their bugles wailed a farewell blast,
The Union's flag abroad was cast.
And gallant hearts were beating fast,
As they marched to the Rio Grande.*
?' Old Zach" led on our noble band,
And proudiy waved his well-tried bran ).
As lie vowed our banner soon should stand,
On the banks of the Rio Grange.
But, ere he reached the " Bravo's" shore,
Aritlu brought his squadrons o'er,
Resolved to fi^ht our men, before
They could get to the Rio Grande.
His choicest troops in ambush lay,
Wiieie " Palo Alio" marks the way?
He thought he'd make the Yankees stay,
On their march to the Rio Grande.
But " Rough and Ready" swore " he'd go,"
And quickly caused the Dons to know,
The Yankee word was " Onward, ho
In their march to the Rio Grande.
" Resaea" next?Arista thought,
Would biing our Yankee schemes to nought,
And that to'" halt" we should be taught,
In our march to the Rio Grande.
But forward dashed the gallant May,
The hero of that bloody day,
And, sword in hand, he cleared the way,
In the march to the Rio Grande.
The u Bravo's" rushing stream is passed,
And " Ma'amoras" hears the blast
Of Yankee bugles, fearless cast,
On the banks of the Rio Grande.
Our noble Eagle plumes his wing,
The " stripes and stars" their radiance fling,
While songs of home our warriors sing,
On the bjnks of the Rio Grande. i
But soon "Old Zich" gets tired of fun,
And thinks before the game is done,
As far's '? Caraargo" he will run
On the banks of the Rio Grande.
To " boot and saddle" is the cry,
The trumpets sound a shrill good bye,
And, blythe, the lads still further hie,
On the banks of the Rio Grande.
"AmpudiaV'host, at " Monterey,"
Was lodged secure, nor dreamed of fray?
They deemed the Yankees far away,
On the banks of the Rio Rrande.
But burly '? Zach"?our country's pride,
For mountain air impatient sighed,
And thought bis men could ne'er abide,
On the banks of the Rio Grande.
So off he sets, with his merry men,
To beard "Ampudia" in his den,
Nor cares hew soon he'll see agen
The banks of the Rio Grande?
O'er hill and dale he fearless goes
Through stranger lands, beset by foes,
Where peak on peak its shadow throws,
O'er the banks of the Rio Grande.
The gallant Worth is at his side.
And many a sunburnt warrior, tried;
Walker and Hays, in all their pride,
Far away from the Rio Grande.
And now the wished for goal's in sight,
Where foemeii bold, in Aztec might,
Their challenge sound from height to height,
Far away from the Rio Grande.
The 'larum peal is heard on high,
The shells boom, bursting through the sky,
And struggling warriors, fearless, die,
Far away from the Rio Grande.
The death-charged cannon's ceaseless rjar,
While, poised aloft, the vultures soar,
And scream above their feast of gore,
Far away from the Rio Grande.
At length, the soldier's task is done,
The heights of "Monterey" are won,
Our "stars" are glancing in the sun,
As, of late, on the Rio Grande.
"Ampudia's" hosts, all vanquished now,
Before their gallant virtor bow,
And Mercy1 a smile lights Tuylor's brow,
Far away from the Rio (jrande.
But hark ! again the trumpets sound,
Swift to their seats, the warriors bound,
And neighing coursers paw the ground.
As they inarch from the Rio Grande.
To proud Saltillo's towers they go,
To seek and crush a mightier foe,
And brighter glories yet to know,
In .heir march from the Rio Grande.
And now, " Buena VislaV' field,
Has seen the bold usurper yield,
And heard the shout of vict'ry, pealed,
O'er the hills of the Rio Grande.
Bragg's -gripe" Sant. Anna's pride has crushed,
And Washington's brave lads have hushed,
The h?Ht that on " Old Zach" had rushed
On his march from the Rio Grande.
Then let our proud rejoicings rise
And let Hozannas rend the skies,
For 4 Zuch" and those who won the prize,
In the mtrch to the Rio Grande.
But ah ! full many an eye shall weep,
When evening shades around us creep,
For gallant friends who mould'ring sleep,
In the land of the Rio Grande.

CANTON TEA COMPANY.
THE OLDEST TEA ESTABLISHMENT IN
AMERICA !
PRINCIPAL ESTABLISHMENT IN
NEW YORK.
THp CANTON TEA COMPANY has been
popularly known for many years. This is the
largest und oldest Tea Eatablisment in America.?
The public have had full proof of their integrity and
responsibility. But such has l?en the great and
pressing demand for their TEAS of late, that they
have been obliged to enlarge, to a great extent,tueir
two principal establishments in New York, viz:
126 CHATHAM AND 103 GREEN WICH
STREETS.
They moreover possess facilities, in relation to the
Tea Trade, in a very abundant degree, and doubt
less, superior to any other Tea Concern in America.
Their scrupulous regard to all principles that tend
to elevate the character of a large house, is well un
derstood, and has already secured them a connec
tion, probably, larger than all other Tea Establish
ments united, and they consequently are determined
to bell Teas purer, more fragrant, and perfect fur
the prices, in the aggregate, than any house in the
world?China excepted.
They most zealously invite the attention of the in
habitants of WASHINGTON, D. C., to their
Agency, where the following assortments ate always
on hand; and they feel no hesitation in stating that
wherever a tingle t) ial is made, a very decided pre
ference is given to the celebrated Teas of the CAN

. THE PILES.
A CURE FOR LIFE SECURED.
D'
R. UPHAM'S Vegetable Electuary,
an internal remedy for the Piles,?prepared by
Dr. A. Upham, M. D., a regular educated Physician
who has devoted fifteen years attention almost en
tirely to this disease.
The Electuary is a certain cure for the Piles, and
also for other diseases of a similar nature, which are
frequently found in conjunction with Piles, Rashes,
Inflammation of the Liver, and Spleen; Inflamma
tion, Soreness, and Ulceration of tho Stomach, Bow
els, Kidneys, and Bladder , Inflammatory and Mer
curial Rheumatism; Impurity of Blood; Weakness
and Inflammation of the Spine.
THE VEGETABLE PILE ELECTUARY is
the only really successful remedy f.?r that dangerous
and distressing complaint, the PILES, ever offered
to the American Public.
Mark this: it is an INTERNAL REMEDY?
not an external application?and wdl cure any case
of Piles, either Bleeding or Blind, Internal or Exter
nal ; and probably the only thing that will. There
is no mistake about it. It is a positive cure?speedy
and permanent. It is also a convenient medicine to
take, and improves the general health in a remarka
ble manner.
It is very mild in its operation, and may be taken
in cases of the most acute inflammation, without
danger. All external applications are in the highest
degree disagreeable, inconvenient, and offensive; and
from the very nature of the disease, temporary in
their effects. This medriine attacks tho disease at
its source, and REMOVING THE CAUSE, ren
ders the cure CERTAIN and PERMANEN T.
'The Electuary contains mineral medicine, mi Jll
>ies, Coeocynlh, Gamboge, or other powerful and ir
ritating purgative. No fear of taking cold while unf
dej?its influence; no change in diet necessary. If
taken according to directions, n cure for life is guar
anteed !

C ERTIFIC ATES.
Washington City, D. C.
It is very seldom that I have ever recommended
any new invention, because I know that recommen
dations are so frequent and easily obtained, that they
are in general of little value. But I consider it
nothing more than an act of justice to the inventor
to bear testimony to the good qualities of Harper's
Metalic Compound for sharpening Razors, and to
say it is the very best material for the purpose that
has come to my notice. I have made a fair trial of
it, and have never found any thing equal to it for
uiving n keen edge to a Razor.
