RINGGOLD'S GRAVE. I semi you a flowor thut grew upon the (jravo of Major Ringgold.?Llttku ok a Volunteer. IIow dost ihou stir my soul, Memorial ofthe bravo; Palo, witlierM, treasured flower. That grew on Ringgold's grave ! On tho desert stands that cover His once heroic heart? I That bore itself so gallantly In life,s intrepid part. Alas! his form shall rush no more Through the battle's firey rain, Nor his tall plume wave, nor his voice Be heard on tho charging plain. And his hand shall point no more j The Hying cannon's path ; Nor his eye light o'er the conquering line | In its fiercely burning wrath. And thou, pale little flower of love, His sentinej did stand, In thy lonely bayonet bower,* Amid the white sea sand. Like a tear of Nature,8 weeping-, Shed for her noble slaii} ; Like a star its vigil keeping, Above that hallowed plain : Like woman's loving constancy In the desert?thou art there? I almost fancy in thy yellow j^ves I see her goledn hair. A nation's bleeding memory Still lingers o'er the spot, And Ringgold's name and Ringgold's Shall never be forgot! (grave * " Ili.sgruvo is otu'losed with a puling of Mexican bayonets." From the New York Sun. TIIE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE. The Americans in possessing the imperial city of Mexico anil the neighboring hill and fountain of Guadalupe, have a peculiar hold on the old Mexican race. By immemorial tradition the lord of the spot on which the Aztec eagle paused in its flight, is master of the Mexican valley. In the eyes of the masses?as in military science ?Mexico falls with her capitul. The prowess and skill that has reached and struck down tllp lionil mmr o!?eil? r/iildeo tn .... , J LW mission the broken membeis. The secon-l pledge of final obedience is in the guardi- j anship of the dearest and most sacred ob- j ject of the national veneration?the Chuch, rock and fountain dedicated ?.o '' Mary, tho mother of Jesus, patron saint and perpetual intercessor of the Mexican people." This site has been hallowed ground to the native races from the date of their earlie?t records. A temple dedicated to a beneficient goddess, the mediator between man and the higher duties, crowned at the time of the conquest, the remarkable hill now sacrcd to the name of her whom Scripture styles " blessed among women," and the medicinal fountain that boils continually at its foot, has ever been to the inhabitants of the plains a cent?c of religious pilgrimage. The stones of the heathen temple have been remodelled into a Christian Church, and science has explained the healing virtues of the fountain ; but under all changes, the natives throng to the place with revorential faith. General Scott will find that his dto tection and respect for the sacred edifices of Guadalupe will do more to win over and disarm the populace, than poclamations or bayonets, We started to visit the shrine of il Our Lady of Guadalupe," on one of those balmy cloudless mornings that arc peculiar to the climate of Mexico, and alter a delightful ride of three miles along a perfectly straight and level road, bordered by a double avenue of trees, glittering with scarlet fruit, our carriage drew up between the stately cathedral of Guadalupe and the over-brimming fountain of the Plaza. Not the fountain under the protection of " Our Ladv," but such as belong to many other towns in Spanish America, and which, with much less advantage or jet, makes our New York affairs look superlatively mean. We did not stop long, however out side of the church, for it was a day of festival, and the Indian girls were celebrating with hymn and dance the praises of " the pure, the merciful, the sinner-pitying mothcrof God." On entering the door the senses are confused and overwhelmed by the magnificence and profusion of the spectacle. Gold, silver, carvings, paintings and statues, crowd upon the eye in lavish display. Presently the trtWAfihrr pnlnmno on/1 tUa ?-*- 4 rw .? W? V.V/IUIIIIIO (H1U IUO I1UU1C K>y 111 IXIUl I y of the vast arcades of the ceiling reveals their chaste splendor of pure wnite and burnished gold, with brilliant distinctness. Then the eye turns with surprise and admiration to the wonderful choir, which stands, like n church within a church, in the immense central space of the nave# It is a miracle of rich carving and solid silver work. A heavy balustrade, some feet high of pure silver, rails in the passage from the choir to the altar, and the wide semicircle in front of it. At short intervals silver ?i.L II- l-IJ . okaiuca wuii uunuiu uuiucrtj m mcir nanus crown the costly balustrade and the fence around the altar itself shines an enormous mass of gold. More than a thousand pounds weight of gold and silver (some say more than a ton) was used in the balustrade and altar ornaments of this splendid edifice. This aew church is at the foot of the hill of Guadalupe. On its sharp summit stands the original chapel built in consequence of an Indian named Juan Diego being directed in a dream or vision to ca 1 upon the Arch-Bishop of Mexico to raise a chapel on that spot, to the honor and service of the " Virgin Mother of Jesus." At lirat the ? -u [ Arch Bishop hesitated, but when the vision ' i was repeated to Juan Diego, with the gift ; , of some roses gathered tioin the bare rock 011 which roses never grew before, which she threw in the lap of his viitla or frock of native linen, and when unfolding his milla to produce the roses the copy of the vision <: was found impressed in glowing portraiture i nn its coarse texture, faith triumphed and ! the chapel rose. Asleep artd difficult path I cut in the rock leads to this cliapel which, ' , I : l-_ .11 -I I r . ' 11lit; an muxiciiii entireties, is proiuseiy He- j corated with gilding, painting and statuary, j : bat has no special merit. The platform on j ! which its stands commands a delicious view I ol the Valley of Mexico, smiling blandly ! on its bright vesture of eternal spring. At ! a few miles distance rises in solitary grand- ' cur from the far-stretching level of the plains, the giant Chapultepec, wearing like > a helmet the fortifications that overawe j the city. Such is the extreme purity of the ; air that we could trace with ease the long line of aqueduct that touches the base of > the hillol Chapultepec as it passes into the , city. Even then, as we fixed on it our ad- J miring eyes, we spoke of Chapultepec as a I lion in the gate to Mexico. The circular ' dome, rich in many-colored mosaic-work, . that covers the sacrcd fountain, attracted i us at lust to itself, and we discoved the hill | to partake of its waters. The edifiee is of j peculiar and most Oriental character, as is natural, for it was erected by the decendent of the Moorish princes of Grenada, who died here in the order of Christian tanctity. His portrait shows a noble looking man, } and fitly decorates the interior of the build- ' ing. The fountain is circular and not far i fV?TT? IWPIllV fiM"l l r> /linmolnr > >" ^"'1" ...

Prayer, faith, fasting, exercise of mind, and copious use of the waters, have produced many cures little short of miraculous, on ] those who have tested its virtues thoroughly. Before we left the village we returned to the church to see the mitlaoi Juan Diego, with its miraculous picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It is framed in massive gold, and is placed directly behind the high altar. It is certainly a snni>rim* nmHnciinn ??.?! , . -------j - , y. .v..v. ! artists say that, however executed, they I know of no means of imitating its rich, yet | delicate colors. 1 i _ ?
