On, rudeis the land where the chfi and the mountain O'ershadow' the water'a dark tremulous How ' Whicli'floxraVrom the north' from its cold icy v fountain And passses through Erie to Ocrin below. I j That torrent is rough, as it bursts from the north,, , llut calmly .extending- - across the broad lakes ; trom their silent espanse serenely goes forth, TlUitfoari)SAhcre the loud rparing cata- ract breaks s jj. There the roar of the fall with the wild Indian jell, Towages long past has mingled its sound ; And flflen, tpgether, the tumult Would swell Its echoes thro' sky Kiid the shore all'firoitnd. . ; - The flood still 13 pouring, 'The tal) sttll is tearing, r And deafens etch neighboring shore ; But the war-luio- p no lunger SouDds louder and stronger, While drowning the cataract's toar. Tis notbyjthe jell or the I'am filed ; At theleeds of the savage I droop and grdV ' weary ; I now sing of nosonn'and otonvatiquired Where our thunders Were heard on the wa' tersofEnic. The dark rolling waters of Ejfe had llowed For agepon ages in silence along j And its black mountain-slibr- e had ne'er yet echoed The loud cannon's roar or the mariner s song. But the cross of St. George o'er her bosom now floats, t While Columbta's,brave Eagle is stream- ing afar ; And the thunders that sleep in their ships and 'their boats, Will shortly be roused jn the tempest of war., Where jo'nder beams of morning play, Through eastern poit&ls comes the day ; Apd o'er the darksome silent sky Spreads its gfev light bo cheerfully With flu.d golu1 it tinges now The welkip space And mountain's brow Far in the east those cl uda behqld, Which ,selm in heavenly flame enrnll'd. There blosed nnueU love to lie. And look 'abroad through earth and sky Asjrom the vigils ot the night, Leaving the earth for realms of light ; And gazing round, below, above, They read unutterable lore On' that Calm and glorious morn, "The Lake reflected back the dawn, To waken warriors roustd in time To meet the approaching fray Kp longer nqw dnes silence leigp, Hut seamen's shouts and cheerful strain, And hoisted sails and moving oar a?fOclaim our warriors " sleep no more" For tis a busy ttay J d o'er the Lake, (a gallant throng !)

Solemn and slovv the adverse squadrons ei i While the bright orb of day rolls on abov ; O !

As from some black and silent cloud, That moves upon the face of day, The- - slashing lightnings sudden play, And iriuttering thunders roar aloud ; While darting on the mountain's side, They pour destruction far and wide Sojon that calm and gentle wave, Wliere all was silent as the grae, The reign of peace is 'o'er ; And to the cannon's dreadful roar ; Echo the mountain, rock and shore For now tliellntish thunders pour Destruction round, behind, before ; Whilst the daik Lake receives the gore Of men who (all to use no more. Silent and slow our vessels glide. While ruin pours on every side : llut now, our port holes gaping wMe,, Our sires begin to glow ; jjfx And forth thq awlul thunders binke And ruin went w lth every slrolce, And death with every blqw. Hut see our strong and gallant bark, Where stands the 1tro of the Lake, She slowly moves, the only maik, On tthich the opposing torrents break. Each brace and bowline shot away, She moves a pet feet wreck ; She meets the wind like waving trees, She's losseel like cloud upon the breeze, And i uin crowds her deck. Oh ' ycmlersec the IUnosail, While balls as thick as autumn's hail, Around the little vesiel pour.f Secure the sails 'mid sire apd smoke. As did bf yore that gallant boat, , Which fearless C.nsAn hate, (n triumph now another deck , Receives the warrior fiom the wreck, In safety and in glory ; nd now more slrongllic bfeezes blow, And dr'ne him nearer to the fiie, To death or ictory. 7vo fierce amid the foe they djsli, 'lft.eir masts and spars whilofalling crash, Their ships are ilrh'i Ilj bioadsides rhn Is Albion kit uck abaft ?

IUomthe Southern FaUioi.

. In presenting the following effusion to the reader,tic cannot but reraaik that the accusation ot poeticbarrenness in this countn , whu.li foreigners havefrccmentlt made seems to be sinking into silence.We are awale that the combination of moral andnational causes, Inch shall produce in Americaany or the hrstiate specimens ot poetry, will onlyhave this effect, when the whole circle of xiteiia-tuh- e

shall come into full pla Li n mitt, how evenis the'nurse ol iheMUSiS and the recent pdoriousachievements of our aimy and nay hate nAved toUtterance the feelings and the fancies of manywhom the lack of pationagc had hitherto bound infiilcnce. Evenin the terv teeth of atiath,in thefrail vehicle of a gazette, or in the flfe-tin- pages ofnpenouic.il woitc we have seen ann rem produc-tions mde indeed and unnofished, when compaicdtothe labored finish wh'cli ltisiue, Mid pecuniarycase, and fashiontblc patronage allow to oilier hauls

but pregnant with poe'tic spirit mil full of thosematerials which, properly disposed and falorncil,constitute the lyric ami the epic

The following production is u genuine TYnic.-

It possesses the animation, the apostiophe, the ir-

regularly of that species of poem ttlm.li, whencelebrating Nj!,tiokai. events (and indeed it belongsto no other subject) is capable of exciting some ofme nouicst leeuiigs oi u u iriuu e a "e-- mv-- i wo

BATTLE OF LAKE EUIR.

On, rudeis the land where the chfi and themountain

O'ershadow' the water'a dark tremulousHow '

Whicli'floxraVrom the north' from its cold icyv fountain

And passses through Erie to Ocrin below. I

j

That torrent is rough, as it bursts from thenorth,, ,

llut calmly .extending-- across the broadlakes ;

trom their silent espanse serenely goes forth,TlUitfoari)SAhcre the loud rparing cata-

ract breaks sjj.

There the roar of the fall with the wild Indianjell,

Towages long past has mingled its sound ;

And flflen, tpgether, the tumult Would swellIts echoes thro' sky Kiid the shore all'firoitnd.

. ;- The flood still 13 pouring,'The tal) sttll is tearing,

r And deafens etch neighboring shore ;But the war-luio- p no lungerSouDds louder and stronger,

While drowning the cataract's toar.

Tis notbyjthe jell or the I'amfiled ;

At theleeds of the savage I droop and grdV' weary ;

I now sing of nosonn'and otonvatiquiredWhere our thunders Were heard on the wa'

tersofEnic.

The dark rolling waters of Ejfe had llowedFor agepon ages in silence along j

And its black mountain-slibr- e had ne'er yetechoed

The loud cannon's roar or the mariner ssong.

But the cross of St. George o'er her bosom nowfloats, t

While Columbta's,brave Eagle is stream-ing afar ;

And the thunders that sleep in their ships and'their boats,

Will shortly be roused jn the tempest ofwar.,

Where jo'nder beams of morning play,Through eastern poit&ls comes the day ;Apd o'er the darksome silent skySpreads its gfev light bo cheerfullyWith flu.d golu1 it tinges nowThe welkip space And mountain's browFar in the east those cl uda behqld,Which ,selm in heavenly flame enrnll'd.There blosed nnueU love to lie.And look 'abroad through earth and skyAsjrom the vigils ot the night,Leaving the earth for realms of light ;And gazing round, below, above,They read unutterable loreOn' that Calm and glorious morn,

"The Lake reflected back the dawn,To waken warriors roustd in time

To meet the approaching frayKp longer nqw dnes silence leigp,Hut seamen's shouts and cheerful strain,And hoisted sails and moving oara?fOclaim our warriors " sleep no more"

For tis a busy ttay Jd o'er the Lake, (a gallant throng !)

Albion's squadron sweeps aloneLike foam that roar9 upon tjie wave iWhite, pennons floating o'er the brave, j

'Are seen'afar through mist and cloud ;I

And now is seen each mast and shroud ;And as the morning Dreetes .blow ,

.nearer and nearer comes the toe.There thunders sleep which soon wil)

" - Wake l

- "Their "first rude notes Upon the Lake jupon wnuse Dosom ne er oetdre,Ileleptless Death his victims bore.

Solemn and slovv the adverse squadronsei iWhile the bright orb of day rolls on abov ;

O ! 'sa. glorious sight to See them sweep,Like clouds irt air, across the gentle deep ;Their sails all set, their banners staeaminir

high ;While there the Cnojj, y!iile ere the Eaoi,e

By,

With all things smiling "in the auturan-sfcy- ,

And clouds ot amber gently sailing by i

While just below, the lake is heaving bright ;

And swells of timid vapour catch the light.As from some black and silent cloud,

That moves upon the face of day,The- - slashing lightnings sudden play,

And iriuttering thunders roar aloud ;While darting on the mountain's side,They pour destruction far and wideSojon that calm and gentle wave,Wliere all was silent as the grae,

The reign of peace is 'o'er ;And to the cannon's dreadful roar ;Echo the mountain, rock and shoreFor now tliellntish thunders pourDestruction round, behind, before ;Whilst the daik Lake receives the goreOf men who (all to use no more.

Silent and slow our vessels glide.While ruin pours on every side :

llut now, our port holes gaping wMe,,Our sires begin to glow ; jjfx

And forth thq awlul thunders binkeAnd ruin went w lth every slrolce,

And death with every blqw.

Hut see our strong and gallant bark,Where stands the 1tro of the Lake,

She slowly moves, the only maik,On tthich the opposing torrents break.Each brace and bowline shot away,

She moves a pet feet wreck ;She meets the wind like waving trees,She's losseel like cloud upon the breeze,

And i uin crowds her deck.Oh ' ycmlersec the IUnosail,While balls as thick as autumn's hail,

Around the little vesiel pour.fSecure the sails 'mid sire apd smoke.As did bf yore that gallant boat,

, Which fearless C.nsAn hate,(n triumph now another deck ,Receives the warrior fiom the wreck,

In safety and in glory ;nd now more slrongllic bfeezes blow,

And dr'ne him nearer to the fiie,To death or ictory.

We have heard an anecdote o( Captain Za-- jcres, of the Guemerc, which we do not re-

collect to have Feen in print. He had caplured an American vessel and detained thecaptain on boaid, to whom he daily and al-

most hourly expressed his wish to.fill in withan American fiigate but he, alas!, had" nohope that one of them would show their nosesout of port while he was on the coasl Whenthe Contustilion hove in sight, and it was as-

certained that she was a frurate. Datres askedhis prisoner what vessel it was, who com-manded her, &c fleing told 'captain Hull,of whom, hnweier, he had no partirularknow-ledge- ,'

the commander of ths Oucrriere said,well, well, I'll introduce you to him ; in about

ten minutes aster we get up with liim.Vousnail ne Dener acquainted As the shipsneareci eacn otper, tiacres invited the yinkeeto stay on deck and ppp the-- fgn ' it will beoVerin'a minute nr to' said hr, and thenwe'll go totjelher
