A VISION.
" I saw a vision in my sleep
That gave my spirit strength to" weep,
Till all around was dim ;
I thought propitious thunders rolled,
The wild winds whistled on the world,
The clouds were lowering grim.
The lightning's wrath from pole to pole
Flashed vivid bright as burning gold,
The snow flajces drifted fair;
x' Ail nature seemed to be at stand?
The .dagger in the ruffian's hand
Stood poised irSd way in air.m
The tiger on the heath reclined,
In act to spring upon the hind,
Recalled his eager bound.
The winged shaft, its feathered crest,
About to pierce its victim's breast,
Fall harmless to the ground.
I saw, or thought I saw, above
Where peace and mercy dwell with love,
A chariot far away,
Drawn by white horses on a cloud,
A living spectre in a shroud
With beard of silvery grey.
I gazed upon, that awful form,
Half hidden in the roaring storm,
Whose look prophetic said,
Sent by that Justice from on high,
I come, with vengeance in my eye,
To judge the quick and dead.
The forked lightning wrathful flew,
Tumultuous thunders shook the skies
A Trumpet spoke and said,
Mortals prepare, your day is come,
The wicked sh^l receive their doom:
Ye graves ?ivc up your dead.
A whirlwind swept<iicfo$s the world?
God's awfuhbanncr stood unfurled,
In reverfgeful maj&ty;
v One moment's darkness veiled the earth,
The next, a new sunfs-heavenly birth
Proclaimed his victory.
And millions which before had stood
In arms to spill each other's blood,
Their shouts together blend: .
To that Jehovah's name adored
In one past fleeting hour restored
Primeval peacc to man.

in consequence of the aflectionate

of the fall of the coffins in which they
were enclosed; 9 owed their recovery
to wounds inflicted by the needle in sewing
their winding sheet; 5 to the sensation

their coffin*; 19 to their interment having
been delayed by fortuitous circum
stances, and 6 to their interment having
been delayed, in consequence of doubts
having been entertained of their death.

Emigration, Public Lands, &c.?
We are receiving accounts daily of
the steady ingress of population to
this State. Many of them are
gentlemen of wealth and character.
As a proof that these reports
are well founded, we are informed
bv ffood autlioritv. thnf thnrn
been more than 10,000 acres of
public land sold and secured under
the pre-emption law, at the
Land Office in this city, since the
first of December last. This
amount much exceeds that of any
similar period since the days of
the rag money mania. This fact
also assures us of the fact, which
is truly gratifying, that most of
the emigrants are making efForts
to own lands, thus giving evidence
that they design a permanent location,
and an identity with the
interests of the State. They are
entirely different from that floats
nfir -.1
vaicra wi jiuimiaiiuil, YVIIICU ill"
ways do more or less injury to
the moral reputation of new States.
We should say to those in other
sections of the Union, who design
to change their residence, come
on ; we have yet at least ten millions
acres of public land, subjcct
either to be purchased at private
entry at Si 25 per acre, or secured
under the pre-emption law. For
thjs small sum, as good land as thp
sum ever shone upon, can be haa
in Florida; and we repeat what
wo have said before, that in no
country is the husbandman so richly
repaid for the amount of labor
bestowed.

Indian Corn.?We received a
letter ,from a correspondent in
Granville county, North Carolina,
from which \vc make the following
extract:
"From your suggestions of
planting corn thick, I made an
experiment this year, and the result
was quite gratifying. I planted
a field on the 23rd and 24th of
June, in rows of three and a half
feet each way, and left two stalks
in a hill; and the yield was seven
barrels per acre. The land was
cleared last year and cultivated in
tobacco. The cultivation of the
corn was very bad?not so good as 1
common, even in this section of
the country and we are miserable
farmers her/?- If it had b<;en planted
early enough and well cultivated,
1 have no doubt but it would
have made eight barrels.per acre,
dry as the season jhas been. It
was upland and not a particle of
manure. I surveyed the field and
measured the corn by.a sealed,
measure.
