liady Geraldine. There's a lady-an earl's daughter: she is proud and she ls noble: , . And she treads the crimson carpet, and sue breathes the perfumed air; . . And a kingly blood scuds glaucos up her rtlncei} eve to"trouble, . " ," And "the shadow or a monarch s crown is sort eued in her hair. She has halls among thc woodlands, she has castles bv the breakers. She has farms and she has manors, she can threaten and command, And the palpitating engines snort in steam across her ac-*?. As they murk upon the blasted heaven the meas? ure of her lund. There arc none of England's daughters who caa show a prouder presence: Upon princely suitors praying she has looked in her disdain : She was sprung or English nobles, I was born ol' English peasants; What was / that I should love her-save ror competence to pain ; I was only a poor poet, made for singing at her casement, . As the Onches or thc thrushes, while she thought or other things. 0. she walked so high above mc, she appeared to m v abasement, In her" lovely silken murmur, like an angel clad in wings : Many vassals bow before her as her carriage sweeps their doorways, She has blessed their little children-as a priest or queen were she. Far too tender or too cruel far, her smile upon the poor was. For I thought it was the same smile which she . nsed to smile on me. She has voters in the commons, she has lovers in the palace And of all the fair court ladies, few have jewels half as tine: Oft thc prince has named her beauty, .'twixt the red wine and the chalice: 0, and what was / to love her? my beloved, my Geraldine ! ri YA. c VB i.. ARRIVAL OF THE SPAMS H GUNBOATS. HOW THE CREWS WERE TREATED AT CHARLESTON. Auoth: r Desperate Battle: The New York Sun has this interesting let? ter, dated Havana, January 15th: The gunboats arrived at Havana, and in or? der to witness their entrance, and shake bands with a former friend, who to my regret acted as a pilot for thc fleet, I went to Havana, and weU was I repaid tor the trip. The {gunboats came struggling in one aRer another a quick succession, and were soon anchored about the bay. Yankee li kc, I wished to satisfy my curiosity, and going on board of one, i witnessed a spectacle, such as would make old Captain Ericsson jump out of bis boots. - Randall, an Irishman, and chief engineer of the Spanish Arsenal, was on board, swearing about the d-d Yankee shoemakers who had ruined the boilers and surface condensers of thc new boats, and be told thc truth. ? sum of $100,000 would not pay the repair bill, and fully one-half are unserviceable, the engineers having burnt thc boiler plates and worked the engine at hi?rh pressure nearly the entire trip, using salt water, without ever blowing off. Randall thought it was ignorance on .rhe part of the American engineers, but on returning to the shore I soon beard a different tale. The agreement in New York made with the engineers was that the Spaniards should fur . nish provisions during the trip, and $40 on ar? rival at Havana, to pay for the passage back to New York, the firemen to receive S'J5. The Spanish officers knew very well that $40 would not pay lor a passage from Havana to New York, and the promise that a steamer would be waitimr for these people to take them on was equally untrue.- Tne trip, however, and the provisions furnished were just good enough for such chaps as those who forgot their dig? nity to serve the Spanish bloodhound ! A barrel of salt pork, another of salt beef, and another of half moulding biscuit com4 prised the provisions for engineers and fire? men, and when they remonstrated at Charles? ton, the Spanish commander informed them that such fare was altogether toogood for the d-d Yankees. w Once ashore, the men had to live, and in a couple o? days a few dollars had to be expend? ed for eating and lodging. No steamer want? ed to take them, and at last the agents of Livingston, Fox ?? Co., and the Philadelphia steamers took a few out of charity at greatly reduced rates, some of the engineers selling even their clothes and tools to get away, whilst the rest unable to raise the money lett as steerage passengers on the German steamer for New Orleans, hoping to get back to New York from there. When the engineers and firemen found ont how they had been cheated by the Spanish Government, not even receiving the dollar promised them for every day that should pass jilleen employed in the voyage, and for every day that they had to remain In Havana wait? ing for the steamer, they went to Mr. Hall, the AniericajjpConsul, demanding redress and pro? tection. Mr. Hall informed them that they had made a mistake In the officer; that this was the American Consulate and not the Span? ish Admiralty; that he was not here to meddle in the affairs of the Spanish Government and its employees; and that lt any wrong had been done them they must apply to iheu own government. He could only aid American seamen in distress, but bad nothing to do with the Spanish Navy. How the blackguards swore and called Mr. Hall a bad American, as if he and not they had aided this corrupt and brutal nation to enslave thc patriots again, if possible; but old Hall is spunky, and when he caught up his stick the whole crowd of loafers ran as if aa army was after them, to the groat delight of the bystanders. Only two ol' thc gunboats are fit for service. Thc rest need a great deal of overhauling, and a few will be sent back to New York to have new boilers -put in thom. GENERAL PL'ELLO has not captured Guaimaro. On thc 3d inst, he bad readied about thirty miles from Neuvi tas and ordered a halt, the troops being so worn out as to be unable to move. Advance "guards and rear guards extended in all direc? tions, a few stolen beeves were;killed, and not a sign of un enemy anywhere, when suddenly the patriots appeared from every side, and the troops, surprised, hardly found time to form is : small detachments before over 200 of their number covered the ground. The rear gu yt? of the Spaniards stood firm, and, marching rlorward, managed to Join the main body,* when tlie fight Decame .general, lasting until nightfall. The patriots lost forty-nine Killed and sixty-three wounded; the Spaniards 220 killed and many wounded. Tho entire train of the Spaniards was destroyed, and Puello had to send to Neuvitas for a supply, remaining on the battle field on the 7th, the latest date to hand. CRUEL ASSASSINATION. On the 30th ot December, a column ot over 2500 men carried a few loads of provisions and some earth from Guiamoro to Las Tuuas. Seve? ral attempts which had been made to relieve the starving garrison had tailed, thc patriots massing at the Sabaua de Munot, Sabana de la Pievra, and at the Pass de las Arenas, driving the troops back three different times, allowing half a convoy to proceed to Las Tunas on the 20th of December by an arrangement made with the Spanish Colonel Velasco, who retreat? ed with his troops, giving his promise that the provisions which the pa, riots allowed to be carried into thc town sbo.tld be equally divid? ed between the soldiers mid citizens. This pro? mise was not kept, however, and the soldiers appropriated all the provisions, over fifty chil? dren and women in thc besieged towndviug of starvation within the following five days. The Cubans became cognizant of these" facts and vowed vengeance. Colonel Felarco wrote a letter to the patriot commander excusing the conduct of the troops, and promising that the same thing should not happen willi the next convoy; but the Cuban commander had enough of Spanish promises, and laid in waiting at the three points on the 30th and 31st ot December. The troops fought desperately and lost heavily, managing, however, to save* a portion of tlie convoy. "The Spanish commanders, madden? ed at their heavy loss and desirous of protect? ing themselves against the Cuban rifles, com? pelled about forty Cuban ladles, residing at Las Tunas, to accompany them. Ten ladies went with the advance guard of the Spaniards, twenty with the main body, and about fifteen with the rearguard. At first thc Cubans re? fused to fire on their cnemies,sceing their wives and children in their midst; but the Spanish a lvance guard opening fire on a sentry, pru? dence and compassion was no longer possible, and the firing became general. A young lady, well known as a strong insurgent, named Miss Mercedes Varona, stood up and shouted, '.Fire, Cubans, don't mind us, we are willing to die." The words had scarcely been uttered, when a Spanish captain turned round, pointed a revolverlo her temple and blew her brain? out, remarking, die, you -. Tho tjoong reached Gulmaro on liv; 2d, and i-mw 0f Miss Varona was soon noise ^ the in? dignation being general ;.ren am s lards, but a remedy v> ^ gooa had> Tg-e dcath was ascribed to th- jnsUr!rents, and the state? ment iniblislie;u that a bltHct f,.om an insur_ geutbad ^dentally killed the poor girl.

Perhaps no one medi? cine is so universally re? quired by everybody as. a cathartic, nor waa ever any before so uni? versally adopted Into use, In every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious reason ts, that lt is a more reliable and : far more effectual rem edy than any other Those who have tried lt, l?iow that lt cured them those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what lt does once it does always-that it never fails through any fault or neglect of Its composition We have thousands upon thousands of the ccrtltt cates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cores are known In every neighborhood, and we need not publish them Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug, they may bc taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful Influence on the interim] viscera to purify the blood and stimulate lt Into healthy action-remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, ?nd by correcting, wherever they exist sucn derangements ns are thc first origin of disease. Minute directions are given In the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which ?iese PILLS rapidly cure: For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LISTLESSNESS LANGUOR and Loss of APPETITE, they should be iaken moderately to stimulate thc stomach and .estore tts healthy tone and action. For LIVER COMPLAINT and Its various symp? toms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICE HEADACHE, JAUN? DICE or CREEN SICKNESS, BILIOUS COLIC and liiLious FEVERS, they should be judiciously taken or each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause lt For DYSENTERY or DIARRHOEA, but one mild lose ls generally required. For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PALPITATION )F TnE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and 'ATsas, they should be continuously taken, as re laired, to change the diseased action of the sys enr. With such change those complaints dis ipjiear. For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they ihould be taken In large and frequent doses to jroduce the effect of a drastic purge. For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be taken is lt produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS to pro note digestion and relieve thc stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach ana rowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, md Invigorates thc system. Hence lt ls often ad? vantageous where no serious derangement exists, Jue who feels tolerably well, often finds that a lose of these PILLS makes him feel decidedly bet? ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus.
