To thee a long "good night."
Soon shall the proud sea bear me on

In gorgouf beauty drest,
My azure mountains crowned with gol(

Watching the last retiring rays
Of richly mellow light
Lingering to mark the varying hue
Ot brilliant clouds that lay
Above my native mountains blue;

Illumes our pathway here :

That higher, happier sphere?

AMERICAN MERCANTILE INTEG
RITY. We published yesterday, among the
items of European intelligence, one which
stated the fact that out of bills to the a
mount of two millions of pounds sterling,
which had been sent to this country by
the Bank of England for collection, all had
been paid except four hundred pounds,
pass. 1 nat institution, witn a boldness
and liberality without parallel, stepped
forward, resolved to sustain the country
in its hour of need, or to fall amid the gen
eral ruin. By the wise policy of that es
tablishment were the wants of the south
ern producers supplied, whilst the Euro
pean speculator was prevented from taking
advantage of their neediness. For this
wise course, the bank has been assailed '
abroad, its motives misrepresented, and
its objects misconstrued. Charged with
becoming a dealer in cotton, because it
dared to run the risk of loss in taking the
products of our country in exchange for
its paper, nnd placing them in foreign
markets at fair prices, it disregarded the
calumnies uttered against it, and has suc
ceed in preserving to our people the ability
of effecting what they have done and aie
doing. The same reasons which induce
foreigners to detract from the merits of
such a policy, should make every Ameri
can appreciate, as it deserves, such self
devotion to the public good a devotion
that well entitles those by whom so wise
an expedient was furnished, to the lasting
gratitude of their countrymen. Balti

embracing the right half of the lower jaw

up to the socket where this bone united to

it afforded scarcely a chance for cure, and
that the removal of the tumor was the only

performed encouraged the patient on the

No, gentlemen of the jury, he did'nt steal
lhat mule he wouldn't be caught stealing
one. He never wanted a mule, he never
had a mule, and he never would have a
mule about him. He has his antipathies

him to take a mule.
from the Simonton parly
"The Governor and Judge of the Su
preme Court have taken the matter prompt
ly in hand. We forbear expressing any
opinion of the matter, as it is undergoing
judicial investigation and we have no right
or desire to forestall public opinion. we
learn these particulars from a letter to the
Marshal here, received by express to day."
PuRTnea Particulars. Since the fol
lowing was in type, we have seen a gentle
man direct from Tuscaloosa who was thete
at the time the above recorded tragedy took
place; and learned from him some further
particulars. He slates that the Simontons
were eight in number a father and seven
sons. Joseph, the oldest son, was lhe bu
siness man of the family. He went to
Mobile and procured the goods. Not meet
ing his engagements respecting the bonds,
a Mr. Beale, of Mobile, was deputised to
proceed to Tuscaloosa & reclaim the goods.
He was driven off by the Simontons. Col.
Vance Johnston and seven others were
then deputised to accomplish what Mr.
Beale could not. Col. Johnston with his
was an exception to lhat passage ot the
scripture which says, "No prophet is with--out
honor, save in"tis own country, and in
his own house."
A new dish. A gentleman, whose
knowledge of the French was limited to a
few words , and who was ignorant of the
merging even of those called in at one
our French rcstaurats a few days since foi
his dinner.
"Vat vill you have, sare," said the at.
tentive French waiter.
"I'd have some of that that what do
you call it? same as I had yesterday
some French dish or other."
"I do not recolect, sare, vat you did have
day before dis."
"Oh! some fried fish let's see, a fried
fille do chambre I believe that's what
they call it."
The poor waiter shrugged his shoulders
and put on a look of perfect astonishment
when his customer called for a fried cham
bermaid !
