I'M WITH YOU ONCE AGAIN, MY FRIEND.
JCra with you one? again, my fr?mda,
No more my footsteps roam;
"Where it began my journey ends,
Amid the scenes of home.
No other clime has shies so bluo.
kjt si renins so broad ana clear.
Ahd whore are hearts so warm anil true,
As Uioho that meet 1110 here!
Since last, with spirits wild and froe,
I pressed my nativo strand,
I've wandered many miles at sea,
And many miles on land.
I've seen fair realm? of the earth,
By rude commotion torn,
Which me how to prize the worth
Of that whero I was born.
in other countries when I heard
Tho Ling nag u of my own,
IIow fondlveach familiar word,
Awoke au answering tongue!
But when our woodland bongs were sung,
Upon it foreign mart,
The vows tlmt fultor'd 011 tho tonguo
With rapture thrill'd iny heart!
My native land, I turn to you,
With blessing and with prayor,
"Where man is br?ve and woman true,
And free as mountain air.

Sketches of Western Iiife.
COL. ARCHIBALD YELL, OF ARKANSAS.
The first case on docket was called,
and the plaintiff stood ready. It was
an old case that had been in litigation
for five years. Gen. Snioot arose for
the delendant, and remarked in an
overbearing tone:
"Our witnesses are absent, and
4l C T -1 *
uiciciuiv x uemana mat mo ease be
continued until the next term, in
course."
"Let the affidavit be filed, lor not
till then can 1 entertain a motion for
a continuance," was the mild reply
of the Judge.
"Do you doubt my word as lo the
facts?" Gen. Smoot exclaimed sharply,
and involuntarily raised his sword
cane.
"Not at all," replied the Judge,
with his blandest smile; "but the law
requires that the facts justifying a
continuance must appear on record, I
and the court has no power to annul
the law, nor any will to see it annulled."
|
The Judge's calm and business like
tone and manner only served to irritate
the bully, and he retorted, shaking
his sword cane in the direction
of the bench?"Whatever may be
the law, J, for one, will not learn it
from the lina of an unsinrt ilnmn
gogue and coward 1"
Judge Yell's blue eyes shot lightning;
nut he only turned lo the clerk
and said quietly?"Clerk: you will
enter a Hue of fifty dollars against
Gen Smoot, as I see him named on
my docket, for gross contempt of
Court; and be sure you issue an immediate
Execution."
' He had hardly communicated the
order, when Gen. Smoot was seen
l it jhin# towards him brandishing his
sword cane, all his features writhing
with murderous Wrath, and pallid as
a corpse.
Every glance was fixed on the
-1* *
^uuiuuimiice oi inc jucige, tor all
wished to know how ho would brook
Ihe coming shock of the duelist's
fierce assault. Hut none, however,
could detect the slightest change in
his appearance. His check grew
neither red nor white, nor a nerve
seemed to tremble; his calm eye surveyed
the advancing foe, with as lit(tfiffh

might show scrutinizing the eflervescncc
of some novel mixture. Ho sat
perfectly still, with a little staff of
painted iron in his right hand.
Smoot ascended the platform (tnd
immediately aimed a tremenddus
blow with his enormous sword cane,
full at the head of his foe. At that
blow five hundred hearts shuddered,
nnd more than a dozen voices shrieked,
for all expected to see the victim'^
sknll shivered into atoms. The gen- i
eral astonishment then may be con
cieven, wnen tncy heheld the little i
iron sUff describe a quick curve, as i
the great sword cane flew from
Smooths fingers and fell with a loud .
clatter at the distance of twenty feet i
in the hall I The baffled bully utter-^ '
cd a cry of wrath, wild as that of i
some wounded beast of prey, and .
snatched his bowie knife from his t
sheath, but ere it was poised for the i
deByqrqtfa, plunge, th? little staff cut <
tiiuniuil iiiiu iue Djg Himc loj- \
loafed' the cane. He then hastily y
drew a revolving pistol, but before he J:
had time to touch the trigger, his
arm was stricken powerless by his
side.
And then for the first time did
Judge Yell beiray perceptible emotion.
lie stamped bis foot till the
platform shook beneath shouted in
trumpet tones?"Mr. Clerk you will
blot this ruffian's name as a foul disffrnrp.

Sheriff, take the criminal to jail."
The latter officer sprang to obey
the mandate and immediately a scene
of confusion ensned that no pen could
describe. The bravoes and mvrmidon
friends of Gen. Srnoot, gathered
round to obstruct the sheriff, while
many of the citizens lent their aid to
sustain the authority of the court.?
Mcnaces, screams and horrid curses,
the ring of impinging and crossing
steel, alternate cries ol rage and pain,
all commingled with the awful explosion
of firearms, blended together
a vivid idea ol Pandemonium. But
throughout all the tempestuous strife,
two individuals might be observed as
leaders in the whirlwind and riders
of the storm. The new Judge used
his little iron cane with terrible efficiency,
crippliner limbs vet snariiifr
life. Bill Buffum, imitating the clemency
of his honorable friends disdaining
the employment of either
knife or pistol, actually trampled and
crushed down all opposition, roaring
at ever}' furious blow?"this is the
way to preserve order in court,"?a
sentiment which he accompanied
with wild peals of laughter. In less
than two minutes the party of the
Judge triumphed, the clique of Gen.
Smoot suffered disastrous defeat, and
the bully himself was borne away to
ine prison.
Such was the debut of Archibald
Yell in Arkansas; and from that day
his popularity as a man, as a judge,
as a hero, and as a politician, went on
rapidly and brilliantly increasing, till
it eclipsed all the oldest and most
powerful names. Within the first
year of his emigration, he became a
candidate for the Governor's chair,
and notwithstanding the bitterest opposition,
lie was elected by ninetenths
of the number of votes polled.
At the end of his term, he canvassed
for Congress, and again swept the
State like a hurricane. lie continued
to serve with success in the supreme
councils of the nation until
the period of the war with Mexico.
He then resigned, hurried home to
Arkansas, and raised a regiment ol
voimuecr cavairy, with winch lie
made all possible dispatch to the
scene of action.
The writer of the present sketch
saw him on his line of march to
coalesce with the i rand army of oc
cupation, and never will he forget the
evening passed by the light of his
hospitable camp fire, on lied River,
witliin the limits of 7exas. The
prophecy of his farewell words rings
still on my ears with mournful distinctness.
"I go," said lie, with a look of fire,

make fame that shall be co-extensive
with the length and breadth of the
Union, or to extinguish life itself in a
blaze of glory."
lie kept his word?he did both.
He arrived on the gory arena in time
to witness the magnificent storm of
Buena Vista; and where is the true
| child of American birth that cannot
name the three transcendent stars of
chivalry, who fell ciuenched in blood
that day ? Aye, who fell, but as thev
fell such a parting sun-burst of ever- '
lasting sunlight over the field ol glory 1
and ol graves? Hardin! Clay! Yell! '
Extraordinary Fertility.?
Wheat.?Bishop Holliday, residing
in Utah Territory, on South Contonwood
Creek, about ten miles south ,
of the Great Salt Lake City, raised ,
from one bushel sowing, one hun- ,
dred and eighty bnshels of the choi- |
cest and cleanest wliact, measured (
up, and it weighed plump sixty 1
pounds to the bushel. This bushel 1
was sowed in drills upon three or
lour acres ol ground, and seasonably t
irrigated. Tlio same gentleman in- <
formed us that bis wheat was better 1
this last season than it was the year f
previous, and felt confident that a
portion of his last crop would pro- r
duce two hundred bushel's from one fl
bushel's sowing, though not then (1
threshed out. JTh t is truiy a great r
country for wheat, but requires much j
!nIu\i' mi/1 1?

of irrigation ; and connected with j
this operation there are many Jittlo c
things to be observed, or you will
ruin your crop. Every new settler n
can learn them all from the experi- d
enceof those who were ihere before >'
him. No counti^ that we ever saw ^
can excel it for vines and vegetables (i
of all kinds.
Farmers beffin to ?nw In 1
August, ami continue to sow every
month, and perhaps every week, ^
when frost does not prevent, until the r<
loxt June; und about the 20th of
Fune thoy begin to harvest, and con- w
inue harvesting their wheat until the b,
'ollowing November. We left there
>r? tho 1st dav of October, and ihe
'ines were all as green as summer,
tnd many pieces of wheat were not
jgirvestcd, but were just turning
while; and we said, surely, this is the
country where "the plowmen overtake
the reapers."
In this country, when wheat is r?|>o
it has to be harvested or the crop is
lost. Not so there. It may stand in
the field a month after it is ripe, and
take no harm. It is a different sort
of wheat from ours. When early
wheat is harvested in ihnt rnnnlrv.
by irrigating the stubbie ground, a
second growth springs out from the
roots of the stubble and not from the
seed, and "often ciomes to maturity
the same year. This is usually the
case with oats.

JL I yju* Mfiuij JLtUUMOgW.'?inner
from South Morida speaks of a late
interview betwren Capt. Casey, the
U. S. Indian agent, ana Mr. *\Vilum
Bolags,' as he signs himself. Capt.
Casey set forth to Bowlegs the recent
action of the Florida legislature for
the removal of the Indians, and told
him that now was his last chance
for a peaceable anangement. That
the U. S. authorities were his friends,
and would not only see him comfortably
removed and provided foi afterwards,
but would pay him well for
going. But if he delayed, the Gover
nor of Florida and his riflemen and
long knives would be down upon him
and drive 'he whole tribe into the
ocean. Upon this, Billy scratched
his head and thoughtfully inquired if
the United States jvernment was
really his friend and wished him well.
Gapt. Casey replied that there could
he no manner of doubt about it.
Well, then, says Billy, if you are
my friends, just you stand still, and
"me whip the Governor of Florida
and his long knices d?11 quick,'' and
in short, gave Casey to understand
that lie did not value the sovereignty
of Florida so much as 'the shaking of
a squirrel's tail.' This is truly mortifying.
Billy evidently had not read
the report of the majority committee

Tallahassee Sentinel.
In no class shall we find a greater exuberance
of fancy or more exaggerated ideas
in regard (o wealth and luxury than in the
thorough-bred loafer. A few duys ago a
couple of individuals of thn genus being
seated in a nook, near a wharf, at which a
California bound vessel was lying, their conversation
naturally ran upon gold?as neither
of the twain was the possessor ol a single
red cent?and thev amused themselvos
by wishing for the precious metal.
'Bill,' said one to the other, 'I'll tell ycr
jest how much gold 1 wish I had, and I'd
be satisfied.'
'Well,' said the individual appealed to,
'go ahead?I'll see ef you've got the liberal
idees of a gentilman.'
'Well, Bill, 1 wish I lmd so much gold,
that'twould take a 74 gun ship, loaded
dowu with needles so deep thnt ef you put
in another needle she'd sink?and all these
needles to be wore out making bags to hold
my pile.'
Hill threw his crownless hat upon the
pavement with indignation, and exclaimed,
'Darn it, why don't you wish lor some
thing when you undertake it! I wish thnt I
had so much that yours wouldn't pay the
interest ot nunc tur the time you could hold
