Silver Sprifl^, Florida.
[continued.] **
In that far sunnv land, whose skies
Vie with ltalia's golden clime-*
Where all the year with perfume sighs?
Knchant the hours of swift-winged time;
Where nature spreads hor gaudiest wing.
And zephvrs hreatlm their balmiest
breather?
Where happy f>irds ne'er cease to sing,
* Nor (lowing vines to twine their wreaths.
Where man may pass the lueious hours,
Untired bv toil's severest powers?
Where beautv dwe ils. and lovemav dream
Of all the hiiss bv fancy wrought.
Until her wannest hopes all seem
Within .subtle network caught :
Where orange buds, like drops of pearl,
Lie scattered on the ^coming ground :
And jaseinino'a wild^heir tendrils eurl,
The grateful tree of heav'n around;
Where tall magnolia's lift their cheeks
Of snowy whiteness to the sky,
And Nature, many-voiced, e'er seeks
To send her praises of God on high !
Long years within this land.
Ere ehristi:i'eet had marked its stand :
While chiisti .n fleets were searching wide, *
Neyr treasure o'er the western tide,
There stood . quiet Indian town,
By white man's foot unmarked?unknown?
Oeala. King ruled o'er the plain,
And wise!> held his happy reign.
Well ord erid fields of maize arrayed,
Their poneeful arts and wealth displayed?
The dance and song, in thoughtless jov,
And hospitable feasts their time employ,
Save while tlrcy ti!l the. fertile fields,
Whose grateful wombs their treasure yields;
Ur while open the hunting ground,
They foil. -v i'.st the horn's shriil sound.
m
They h..ii t:. ? heard how Peru's hlood
Had i! i *led with her golden dust;
And where 'he sun's bright niter stood.
Was t'vn ' d <>,er bv Spanish lust;
Nor how (lie Mexeque's halls ot" gold.
Had , oh. led with the spoiler's trend.
And t!i it dire fate, so long foretold.
Its dark mid wrathful wings had spread ; I
Nor how that bright, but fearful race,
Was liast'ning on front Tampa's shore.
And while they dreamed of love and pence, j
Their own sad fate was hanging o'er.
Calmly and still the morn was breaking,
From out her pure and pearly chambers, j
Like some young beauty just awaking
From her soft and dreamy slumbers.
It was the winter time of year:
But w inter was in gentle keeping.
So bright the leaves, so soft the air,
Von would have thought that spring was .
sleeping.
Tpon Oeala's quiet walls,?
# Peacefully rose the ope'ningday:
The maiden . in her happy balls.
Hummed softly o'er the early lay.
The sages sat around the fires.
And told the glories ol'their sires:
The young men loitered on the green,
Where many a sportive game had been ;
'Twjis just thftt hour ere they begin
The toils or pleasures of the day,
Which they delight to while away.
A dull deep sound came booming there.
Rendering the morning air asunder?
Which they and theirs should hear again?
It seemed like distant echoing thunder;
Rut tower, duller, and far nearer ,
It fell upon the unwary hearer,
Like some foreboding knell of warning,
When storms break o'er the quiet morning. ;
Unheard to Indian cars before?
It \gas the distant musket roar.
The maiden ceased tier happy song:
The sire started from his seat;
And on the green the village throng.
In anxious wonder liast'ning meet.
In deep suspense and quick debate,
The j' listen for anothersound,
But long and douhtingly they wait,
Unbroken stillness reigned around.
An hour passed on, another note!
A clearer, shriller than the first.
Did o'er the gentle stillness float,
And strangely on the list'ners burst. A
tone of sweetness, with its swelling,
Came like 'hat soft bewitching dwelling,
M^^u - ic o'er the waters cast?
ICi^HTs tlit- clarion's lengthened blast!
(d^iflpvouJcring mused the Indian throng, I
J^Whenoi- came these sounds, unheard |
t before,
hich w..l'ted now the thunder song,
An4 now the tones of music bore.
Sure from the South some stranger hand, 1
Comes visiting our happy land;
Why come they thus, unasked, unknown ?
Ignorant^' what risk they run
Come they in peace or armed for war,
That th -y are wandering thus afar ?
Lest warlike be their purpose here,
Prepare young men the how and spear;
But if with peaceful mind they come,
Give them a welcome in our home!
Thus spoke the sires, whoso duty, right,
Was counsel wise and stern command;
And thus prepared for pe..ce or light,
A band of faithful warriors stand.
A cloud of dust was in the South,
Dc Soto's gallant hand concealing;
long array they issue forth,
Their croud ?nil c~_?

They come Jpbrave and prancing Meeds, |
With their bright helms of steel all glam> '

Gay plumage o'er their helmets-..,ngt ** !.
And on their spears the sunlight
*Bke clangor of their armor rung,
silently the line advanced.

The more their minds in doubt are lost
I Hut as tln ir uspectt they Kmnid,
V\ hen the advaneing line drew near,"
I All other feeling was dispelled.
Hy mingled reverence and fear.
From breast to brca&tfrmong the throng,
A gentle murntnr passed along;
They wondered if some heav'nly raee,
Descending with celestial face.
Had come the loving wars to scan,
And chide the sinful heart of man ;
Or if the god of some bright heaven,

Remarkable Adventure.
A few nights ago, :i fresh emigrant j
j (Vol 11 In land, who by some menus or oth- j
I or found himself burdened with a very ]
j heavy l>ri< k in his lint, in attempting to |
Itiiul his place of lodging, between the
(hours of 11 and 1'2, by n back way, came
] to a door, and supposing it to be the door j
of his room deliberately walked in and was j
j precipitated t<> the botton of a well, sixty- j
! two Jirt in ! The noise of his des-1
! cent attracted some attention, and upon |
| examination, Paddy was found safely |
.stowed away in the hole, knee deep in
i water but luckily right side up! He
i however had r.ot realized his situation, but I
still imagining himself at the door of his!
I lodging, was clamoring lustily for his
; mate t<> open unto him, and venting curses
loud and deep upon the inhumanity of
i keeping him exposed to the cold and wet.
j Eventually he slung his coat and cap, and
j was preparing to avenge the ill-usage by a
i rcodar wli..n ii..? I
I * : ??n'wir?.iw! 01 a ;
light at the t<-p ot the well, disclosed to
hint that he was too far down stairs to
i play at lisdi litis and he was after a while j
prevailed up u to allow him-eifto be I
tished up. Ilia anger in no wise abated j
on his lauding on terra tlrma, but still re- j
gaining himself the victim of ill-usage,
he was with diliiculty restrained from
pitching into the whole crowd.
The well into which lie was precipitated
being very contracted and walled in
with st<ate, it is certainly r> markablc that
lie should have made the descent w ithout
any injury beyond a few scratches.
A night or two aft rwards the same
gentleman, bating net up with another
brick in his hat. concluded to do another i
adventure by falling headlong into the j
fire. Time about, lie thought, was fair
play, and having had an application of (
water he thought to equalize the matter
by an application of tire. This time lie |
escape u not so well, being very badlv
liiinieJ.

A Ro tic < wiue !.
A curious instance occurred in tlie great !
city of London some time baek, in which a ! ,
rascal was outwitted. A bachelor gentle-I t
man, who was a very superior draftsman I ,
ami caricaturist, was laid up in his apart- i (
nun! with tin-gout in both feet. Uo could ; (
not move but in and out of his chair to 1 ,
the sitting ro> 111. A well-know vagabond, t .
ascertaining the fact, watehed till the scrv- ! j
ant was sent upon a message. The area ! ,
door communicating with the kichoii, down (
went the vagabond, entered the kitehen,
walked upstairs, where, as he expected, j
he found the man alone and helpless.
"I am sorry to see you in such a situation,"
said the rogue, "you cannot move, 1
and the servant is out." The gentleman
started. "It is exceedingly careless to leave ; <
yourself so exposed, for behold the conse- t
uuenc6e! I take the liberty of removing i <
this watch and seals off the table, and | i
putting them into my pocket; and as I t
jiereeive your keys are lu re, I shall unlock | (
these ornwers an?l.KOo what suits my j <
purpose." QV s
"l'ray help yonr**lf." roplied thu gentleman,who
was aware that lie could do notli- i i
ing to pre .vat liiin. i |
The rogue did so accordingly. Hefouud j i<
the plate in the sideboard, and many other , i
things that suited Irim; and in ten minutes, j t
having made up his bundle, he made the !
gentleman alow bow and decamped. Hut ' <1
tlie gentleman had the use of his hand, ! ,
and had not been idle, he had taken an I c
exact likeness of the thief with the pencil; ; ^
ami on hi* servant's return soon after he ! v
dispatched him immediately to How street ri
with the drawing, and an account of what j s
had happened. The likeness was so good ii
that the man was immediately indenti- i n
fied bv the runners, and was captured be- | a
fore he had time to dispose of a single ar- i t
tide. He was brought to the gentleman j p
two hours afterwards, the property on hitn , ,\
identified, sworn to, and in six weeks he r
was on his way to Botany Bay. v
A Brisk Place.?There is good an- ] o
eedote told a?out the little town of Port-1 li
land, Indiana. While a certain steam- | r
boat was about putting out from here re- n
cently, for New Orleans, the mate* an e
old tslllman, turned to some passengers a
and remarked : i
"This little town, gentlemen, looks dull, t
but T tell you it is, perhaps, a mighty brisk I
place. About fifteen years ago, I was t
going down with a flat boat to New Or- I
leans, we stopped here to procure some i'
provisions. I went up into town, and see- a
ing a coat hanging out of a shop door, t
just tn^k it, 'Hieowner came after me-- t
caught me?took me before a magistrate li
?1 was tried?convinced?took thirty- !**'%Jashcs?and

'"The wicked flee when no man pursueth,"

the room.
"But the righteous are bold as a lion,'
answered Jim as he sprung up from his

The Professor laughed and said, "True,

Cotton^Planting.
Like most novitiates, we are somewhat
vain of our incipient attempts at farming,
and have been frequently tempted
to bore our rentiers with an agricultural
article. I'pon ti visit to ?>ur farm a dnv
or two ago, the cacoefhts scrihrdi returned
with all its violence, and more from the
desire to alleviate the symptoms, than
from any expectation of doing good, we
are induced t<> give our plan of cotton
planting. In the first place, we will frankly
confess that it is not original with us,
and for ought we know, may have been
adopted by half the farnn-rs in the District,
l*it it is new, and in the hope of finding
some one as green as ourself, w e are determined
to make it public.
Instead of opening the furrow for the seed
w ith a small scooter or bull-tougue plow,
we take a block of heavy wood about
twelve or fourteen inches wide, a few inch
os longer, and some three or l'? ?nr inches
thick, and hovel it oil at one end to the
width of twoor three inches. (In the snider
side of this Mock, we make fast by
pegs n triangular piece of hard wood, a
seasoned red oak or white oak rail is the
best, of the width and depth that we desire
the furrow to he, which receives the
seed, (hi the upper side of this hloek,
after bevelling otl one end so as to raise
the other to the proper height for the horse,
we secure in tliQ same way the beam.?
We then fasten an upright piece to the
block for the purpose <>t fixing handles to
it as in the ordinary plow. If the groiindl
is hard,clodv, or rocky, a small tongue]
plow or coulter may be let in the la-am
in front of the block, and gauged to the]
proper depth. This unwieldy looking j
machine, which resembles a big terrapin '
note than anything else that occurs to us
s placed directly upon the bed, and its
jwit w.-ight when put in motion will be
mllicicnt to sink it iti the ground, and
ause it to op.-n an even, strright, and
leautifnl furrow for the reception of the
iced. After the seed are planted, and
hovered with a thick block roundecL-jOn
the under side to tit the bed, they will
come up so regularly that the young
plants may be covered in any pari of tbn
low with the three lingers. The a.lvaflR
luge of this is at once obvious. In spit<fj
if the most unskilllul chopiug the stalks i
will be in a straight row and can be much
more closely and advantageously cultiva-1
led. At the suggestion of a friend and
experienced fanner, who, in consequence
jf our in.\jH-ri? nee, took some interest in
is, we tried this plan in planting the last 1
;ron, and we therefor.- "speak tl'.fit '.ve do J
enow, and testily that we have seen," and I
\ In-ther any one receive, our witness or
lot wo have aeoninplishod our purpose.? i

Messrs. Editors.? It has always appeartd
to life surprising that tho "planters of j
he South should persist ill th'.' '"Itivatiou !
>f large crops of cotton, to the manifest'
njurv of their lands, and the lessening of j
he amount of money received for their'
Tops. That the lands of the South are |
loteriorating, must be evident to the most
uperticial observer.
iiow is this evil to he remedied ? It j
nust be plain to every one that to plant j
ess cotton, and more of every thing els, (
? the only way ; but w ill the planters do
t t It is so obviously their interest ; nnd '
hat they are intelligent, I think a doubt
annul remain on the subject. The onlv
litliciilty?it seems to mo as to obtain con- '
ert of action. The large ifmeo over w hich
otton is plante<l readers it difHcult 101
jet tlx- planters together to consult on j
rhftt is best for them to do ; but at the
icxt meeting of the ('otton Convention, a i
vstetn of suli-eoeietics, or sub-committees, 1
ii every corntry^li the Cotton States, i
night be abopted, that would effectually |
loromplish tin- purpose. If half or two j
lords ot the present breadth <>i" hi no whs '
nit in Cotton, the crop would yield More
loney than the whole hrcadth. Then the
emainiiig land might he profitably cultiated
in sweet potatoes, turnip*, and in
mall grain, with an additional quantity 1
>f corn. What additional quantities of!
togs, slice|>, cattle and mules might tie '
aiscd. and the lands enriched more and
uore every year. It this system was adoptd,
the South would become the most
bundant, the happiest and most indeletideiit
country iu the world. Add to all
his, every county might have a Cotton
'actory, to spin yarns, and export tliein
o the north of Europe. The spinners, in
.aiicaster county, in Enerlandfare wealth
'' " , * ; "
?r, and subjected to fewer viciaaitude, than
ny of the other totton manufacturer* in
he country. I nay then to my fellow planem,
begin t<> manufacture, even with one
tundrea spindles, begin. I say again begin
?you can find labor in abundance a*
heap as any where elso,and all the 11 latemis
and appliances in ihe greatest abunlauce.
I say again begin, nay, I beseech ,
roa to begin.
To descend to a few particulars: suppose
i planter to lessen his oolion crop, and
>lant. one hundred acres of sweet potatoes,
>ne hundred acres of the red top turnip,
ye, oafc and wheat, in sMtb quantities as
le Ov?y deem sufficient. Suppose he puts ;
* v 4
#
one hundred sheen in the fall on his turnips,
dividing ofi the field in small spaces
at a time, allow the sheep to feed, trample
and enrich the field during the whole winter
at proper intervals, would not that
field produce nearly double the quantity
of cotton or corn the next year that it
would do without this preparation ? And
the field of sweet potatoes treated in the
same way with one hundred hogs, would
it not produce a great improvement? And
then tho rye tor your Devon Cows !
what yellow butter, what abundance and
iirmrniromont wnnl<l fiillmi' ?iul otill
More Money for your cotton, than you
can possible obtain at present.
Hear me, my fellow planters, for I tell
you the truth?1 wish this ini<rht be published
