Around him fell the crimson rain, the battle thunder pealed, And proudly did the soldier gaze upon his daring form, When charging o’er die cannon’s blaze, amid the sulphur storm, Upon the heights of Monterey again his Hag unrolled, And when the grape shot sent away its latest starry fold, His plumed cap aliove his head, he waved upon the air And cheered the gallant troops he led, to glorious victory then, But ah, the dreadful seal is broke, iu darkness walks abroad, The pestilence whose silent stroke is lik" »he doom of God, And the hero by its fell decree in death is sleeping now'. With the laurel wreath of victory, still green upon his brow, Fair eyes shall weep his early dooe- hands shall often ^ thedewi>y And offer atMypq^ the ranks twas his to lead shall ever live his name, Whilst history treasures up a deed that’s worth eternal fame.

II., 8. C. The Darlingtox Flag willbepuUMied at Darlington Court House, by JOHN F. DeLORME. The Editorial department will be con ducted by James H. Norwood. The ne- ceasity of such an enterprise has long been spoken of by the citizens of Darling ton Distirct, but no one hitherto has taken any step for the advancement of an object so desirable. While the surrounding Dis tricts, with a laudable zeal for the diffusion of knowledge and general intelligence, have established their own newspapers, Darlington with resources inferior to none, has been content to be tributary to them in this respect. We propose to under take the work, and would earnestly solicit in aid of this enterprise, not only the good wishes but the exertions of those citizens who admit the importance of having a weekly paper established in the District. The Flag is intended to be a consistent and independent journal, devoted as tar as practicable to the interests of Agriculture, Commerce, Science, Literature and reli gion. In politics, it is unnecessary to say, that our paper will be devoted to the advo cacy of the rights of the South, and any thing having a tendency to advance her interest, or defend her honor, will receive our prompt attention. In short we wiB endeavor to make the Flag, such ar paper as the wants of the peof*»*^f the District call for, and w***« ra W«o solicit the favor and pa»'-~“°K e °f our friends in the surround ing Districte. Terms, &c.—The Flag will be sent to subscribers at $'2,00 a year payable in ad vance, or 2,50 at the expiration of six months. JAMES H. NORWOOD, Editor. JOHN F. DeLORME, Ptblisher.

Mike Fink, a notorious Buckeye hunter, wiisconteni|>nrary with the cel ebrated Davy Crockett, and his equal in all things appertaining to human prowess, ft was even said that the animals in this neighborhood knew the ernck of ids rifle, and would take to their secret hiding places on the first intimation that Mike was about Yet strange though true, lie was hut little known beyond his immediate ‘settle ment’ When we knew him, ho was an old man—Jtlie blasts of seventy winters had silvered o’er his head and taken the claticity from his limbs; yet in the whole of his life was Mike never worst ed, except upon one occasion. To use his own langghge, he never ‘gin in, used up, to anything that travelled on two legs or four,’ but once. ‘ That once, we want,’ said Bill Slash er, as some dozen of us sat in the bar room of the only tavern in the settle ment ‘Gin it to us now, Mike—you’ve promised long enough, and you’re old now, and needn’t care,’ continued Bill. ‘ Right, right! Bill,” said Mike, ‘but we’ll open with a lickcr all round fust, it'll kind o’ srre my feelin’s, I reck on— ^ ' Thar, that's good. Better than t'other barrel, if anything!’ * Well, hoys,’ commenced* Mike, ‘you may talk o’ your scrimmages, tight places aud dch like, and substracd ’em altogether in one all mighty blf Nm, and they hsin’t no more to be compar ed to the on.) I war in, than a dead kit ten to an old she bar! I’ve font all kinds o’ varmints, from an Ingin down to a rattlesnake! ami never was will’n to quit fust, but thill once—and ’twas with a Bull! ‘You see, Imys, it was an awful hot day in August, and I war nigh runnin’ off into pure ifc, when I War thinkin’ that a dip in the creek mout save me. Well, thar w’as a mighty nice place in old deacon Smith’s niedder for that jHirtic’lar famines*. So I went down amongst the bashes to unharness. I jist hauled the old rad shirt over my head, and war thinkin’ how scrump- tuous a fellor of my size would feel a w allerin’ round in that ar water, and was jest ’bout coin’ in, when I seed the old Deacon’s Bull a makin’« B-line to wharf stood. ‘ I know’d the old Mao, for he’d shar’d more people than all the parsons o’ the •-« t|kw» * " a fev ■h war on oc* aide o’ the ; fft+l on t’other, aiM the way he made Ifesile fly for a wMa, aa if he war a tflgin’ my grans, war distress- S'like Fink, if the old critter’s tail and 1 didn't blow out sometimes at a dead level w ith the varmint's hack ! ‘ So you may kalkelate we made good time.

Now, says I,you you’ll pull up this ’ere white oak—break Iyer tail' or jest hold on a hit til!

If I let go and run he’d be foul o’ me sure! ‘ So lookin at the matter iu all its bearins, I cum to the conclusion that I’d better let somebody know whar I was! So I gin a yell louder than a lo comotive whistle, and it wan’t long afore I seed the Deacon’s two dogs a comin down like as if they war seein w hich could git thar fust. ‘I know’d who they war arter— they’d jine the Bull agin me, I war sartain, for they war orful wenemous and had a spite agin me. ‘ So, says 1, old brindle, as i idin is as cheap as walkin, on this rout ifyou’ve no objections, I’ll jist take a deck pas sage on that ar hack o’ youm !

THIS Journal, the first number of which appeared on the 3d November, 1846, has since its commenceinent, steadily advoca ted the principles tlien announced by it, us those which should actuate its conductors, and the Proprietor refers to its columns as the best criterion of the correctneM of his assertion. For the extensive patronage already accorded him, the Proprietor feels deeply grateful and to those new subscri bers who may be induced to favor him with their support, he can only say, that no diligence, no effort, no expense consis tent with his means, and the purpose of his Journal, will be spared in procuring for it such matter as will he useful and entertaining. The Palnetto-Statk BxMker aims to be the exponent of true Democratic prin ciples—Democratic according to the strictest construction of the State-Rights school; and for these (Basons k is in Fede ral polities for the Constitution of the Un ited States, and against Free-soilism, So cialism, Bnrnburnmg and Abolitionism; and as decidedly, in State Politics, against the disorganizing notions that would up root our good old Institutions; and especi ally does it deprecate the destruction of our Banking system, whether ofthe State, or the private Institutions, as mischievous —nay, as ruinous to the industrial classes, inasmuch as the destruction ofthe Bank of tlie State would fond to put the people in the hands of the other Banks and tho money-power, aud on the other hand the destruction of private Banks would dis turb the equilibrium of that good old and long-tried svstern of currency that has made South Cmliiia the envy of tlie States; it advocates consequently the pre servation of all. In tlie Editorial Department, tlie sub- scriber has associrted with him Mr. Alex ander Carroll, and pledges himself tl at no exertion shall be wanting to render this Journal interesting in every department. As an evidence of his spirit of enterpi iee the Proprietor intends presenting his rea ders with a greatly enlarged sheet,aflforff. ing them fully one additional pngs efir cr esting reading matter, thus rendering il the largast weekly paper in this State, and with but few exceptions, in the United States.
