calla Poetry! It is bo 'insufferably bad that it posfUveJygoodr-brart, and most original. There appear to be two distinct piece one dedicated to horse and the other to Texas bat as The author treats both subjects in pretty much the same way, we shall only give few" specimens of the latter. Here, for a stanza In your pbod'cuune did Crockett fall, loes bis ttiua-aoiu old appaul. With ibejjr names live evermore, Who fought and fell at the AUmore Now poets pretend to have a moBt unquestionable right to take liberties with the prosody of a but not to murder tha orthography so cruelly as this chap has done. The idea of spinning out Alamo" to "Alimore," so as to make it rhyme, with evermore," is an original idea, however, and we let it pass.

After one or two additional verses, the author next throws the following brick-bat at Texas O'er your bill and plants shall fly th car, Tour spice and treasure bring from far: Up your rivers shall Meamboau roar, To bear your produce to distant shore." That locomotives, withers attached, may in "time fly over the planes" (quT plain) of Texas is a matter we cannot doubt, and over her hills, too, should it be deemed expedient to construct inclined planes perhaps the writer has reference to these after all and that steamboats will roar until they burst their boilers ascending" the rivers of the new State, freighted with nutmegs, cloves, cinnamon, and other spices, is a thing we look upon as almost certain, Evans's patent Bafety valves to the contrary notwithstanding: but what bothers us is the "distant shore" they are to find in that direction. Our topographical knowledge of thS upper portions of Texas and it is far from limited induces the belief, first, that there are no shores to speak of in that direction, unless the banks of the Colorado and Brazos high up may be called shores; and second, flat the produce of the would find but an indifferent market that way. We'll inquire farther, however. One more sample, and we have done for the present with our Union county poet The earn and cot'on lnxarant grow, And plenty in your barns shall flow. At the South on rich low table land Will Rice and Cain together stand." The first two lines of this verse are beautifully descriptive and directly to the point they indi cate that corn and cotton grow luxuriantly in Texas, so much so that the barns, if there are any there, are filled to overflowing but the last two lines bother us.

Whether the author has reference to im Crow Rice and the first born" Cain is more than we caji say at this particular juncture he may have some remote reference to certain esculents or vegetables. But enough of this we set out to prove that the poets were not all dead, and we we have made out a pretty strong case that one of them, at least, is still alive and kicking smartly. D. M. in a postscript, says that if we publish his verses, which are the best he can make," he desires a "coppy," and winds up with "you may hear from me Do let us hear from you; let us hear from you often.

Latest from the Army of Occupation. By an arrival yesterday we were placed in possession of a letter from which we make one orjwo extracts. It is dated: a St. Joseph's Island, March 15, M6. I have little news to communicate farther than the arrival here of the Xk S.

Yours, i.c. 'A Proposed New Mail Route. A petition is in circulation in Savannah praying a change in. the great Southern Mail Routf. It is proposed in this petition to change from the present route to one nearer the coast, and through a more level country.

The new line is to run from Charleston, S. via Savanpab, Macon, Lumpkin and Eufaula, to Stockton, on the Alabama river, near Mobile. It is stated that there will be from GO to 70 miles less staging on this line than on the upper route, while the railroad and steamboat transportation will be about the same. The saving to Depart ment, it is contended, would be something like $75,000, with an Increased Bpoed of from ten to twelve hours. Heavy interests will be opposed to this change, and prevent its being carried out at a very early but it deserves to be in quired into.

The news from Hayti reaches us in so confused a shape, that it is dif ficult to keep up the progress of events in that Island. The assembling of troops in large bodies to march against the Dominicans appears to be authentic. We had an account of it direct at this port, and since, a confirmation of it has reached us from a different portly way of Bos ton.

Le Courrier dct Utats-Unis has a regular correspondent in the Island, who writes that the most formidable force which the Haytiens are reported to bav, is 800 American sailors. He is incredulous as to this statement, and well he may be. The Dominicans were relying a good Weal tiporf the interference of a strong Spanish fleet for their protection; and the people were likewise sanguine that the United States would recognize their national existence and send a Consul thither, which would exercise a strong moral influence in favor of the Dominicans. fcT'VGough; the temperance lecturer, was in Virginia at 'last dates, where the ladies were all delighted him. 1 he editor of the N.

Tha "Razor Strop man" recently caned upon me editors ot tiie Savannah Republican, to offer his services to sharpen the editorial scissors. He said that he had got on very well in Savannah without the aid of puling-, and now that he was about to take his leave, he would, according to a custom of his own, present each editor and preacher in the city with a specimen of his wares. The editor, hereupon, predicts that there will be a brisk demand for new razors in the city at no distant day. Congo Square.

The Master of Ceremonies. No stranger in this city of New Orleans who is anxious to see all the large and Bin all lions of the place, to say nothing of the elephant, should fail to visit, of a Sunday afternoon, the square in Rampart street, commonly called "Congo Square. The scene is novel, interesting, and highly amusing. In various parts of the square a number of male and female negroes assemble, dressed in their holiday clothes, with the very gayest bandana handkerchiefs upon the heads of the females, and, accompanied by the thump ingof a banjo or drum, or the squealing of a greasy cremona, perform the most grotesque African dances. JNo devotee to the Polka or Mazurka in the most recherche ball room can enjoy the giddy mazes of the dance more than these sable performers.

At one time there will be five or six upon the ground dancing and breaking down for dear life, and occasionally laughing and screaming with delight, while the companions who surround them find it difficult to sit or stand still, so infectious is the desire to dance among the blacks. Until we saw these amateurs in Congo Square we thought that John Smith and ricaninny Coleman were some: but if those worthy individuals could gaze upen the dark beauties of the square, they would beat their brains out with their own tamborines. John Smith i3 nowhere there isn't any such individual and never was. The dimes" from the inactive and admiring spectators serve to rosin the bow," and keep the musicians in tune. As fast as one set of dancers become exhausted they are rudely bade to "stand out de way, niggers," by a fresh set.

The most conspicuous personage in these merry-makings is the niQBter of who is certainly a most distinguished individual. Every fair Sun day afternoon he may be found at his post, ex erting himself to the utmost to promote bar' mony. He always has a little circle of his own which he surrounds by ropes and posts to keep out Ihe vulgar, and only the most distingue are admitted within the magic ring. This same presiding deity is a short, stout negro, some what advanced in years, and with a rotundity that would not disgrace a London alderman. In his ears he wears a modest pair of ear-rings, and his head, which is a perfect marvel n.

The name was incorrectly given to the Coroner by th keeper of the restaurant. A young man who knew the deceased yesterday informed Capt bpedden that his name was Violet. He furthe stated that the deceased had two trunks and watch in the room wjiere he died; but nothing was seen of these articles when the inquest was held, and the keeper of the house denies any knowledge of them. The Coroner was informed that Violet waB a man of industrious habits, and was well known in our markets as a dealer in game, and was supposed to have several thou sand dollars in his possession. These facts being made known to Recorder Genois, several witnesses were examined, but they did not ex actly sustain these-statements.

R. W. Gibbes, a physician of reputation in Columbia, S. has for some years been a convert to Mesmerism, and quite recently he has addressed a letter on the subject to the Charleston Courier. In this he expresses the opinion that it is a greater act of credulity to resist the evidence of Mesmerism than to acknowledge the truth of the matter? The slow progress which it makes among medical men he attributes to pride of opinion.

Confessing how very limited is the insight yet obtained into the intimate nature of Mesmerism, he yet believes that it is the key to the means by whichthe mind opcrateaupon matter, and that the instrument of the operation is magnetic or electrical. The subject is a very curious one, and inas much as Dugald Stewart, La Place, Cuvier, Orfila, and many other eminent men were be lievers in Mesmerism, it becomes us not to confound a mysterious truth of nature with the charlatanry of peripatetic lecturers. The somewhat famous Thin Flynn, of theatrical notoriety, has joined the Washing-tonians, and is shortly to give a public lecture on Temperance at the Tabernacle in New York. While the hynp," Nobody Hurt. The two young gentlemen, Phcnix and Hopkins, who left Baltimore a few days since to settle an affair of honor, returned uninjured the friends of the parties bringing about an amicable adjustment of the dispute.

According to the Sun, the difficulty arose from an accusation made by Mr. Phenix, who is a midshipman, against Mr. Hopkins, a tea mer chant, of a real or imaginary insult to his sister, (o hom he had previously paid many attentions, and afterwards withdrew them without any apparent cause. He was requested to consider himself as no longer an acquaintance of the family; but meeting Mr. Pheniin the street on a certain evening, in company with his sister, he saluted them with a marked and polite bow.

This was taken as an intended, insult by Mr, Phenix, who, meeting Mr. II. in the parlor of the Exchange Hotel, struck him with a cane, when they were parted.
