The whole broad earth is beautiful
To minds atiuned aright.
And wheresoe’er my feet are turned,
A smile has met ray sight.
The city with its bustling walk.
Its splendor, wealth and power,
A ramble hy the riverside,
A passing summer flower;
The meadow green, the ocean swell,
The forest waving tree,
Are gilts of God, and speak in tones
Os kindness unto me.
And oh, where’er my lot is cast.
Where’er my footsteps roam,
If those I love are near to me,
Thai spot is still my home.
OH TURN TllO*lt: l-AKs* A WAV.
Oh! turn those dear,dear,eyes away,
My cheek with love is blushing,
And though a smile may o’er it play.
My eyes with tears are gushing.
Oh! look n<»t in m\ eyes, love.
They tell a tale 100 true;
m bee not my blushes rise, love.
Nor listen to my sighs, love,
For blushes, sighs and eyes, love.
All speak—all speak of you.
As it takes great occasions to pi ace
great men before the world, so does the
exalted character of a measure tend to
elicit noble and inspiring sentiments from
its advocates. The despatch of vessels
with stores of relief sent by this govern
meet to alleviate the sufferings of Ireland
was contemplated by Mr. Crittenden, in
this beautiful language. Nothing more
pure yet more graphic could have been
said.
J •• ’Twould he a glorious spectacle to
f see the floating instruments of dealh, their
decks no longer frowning with the in
struments of destruction, hut wafting sub
stantial evidences of a nation’s good will
to the afflicted of another nation.
This contemplation has been followed
up with equal pathos and power, hy a
writer in the New York Express , as fol
lows:
“ ’Twoiitd be a glorious spectacle,”
When hearts with joy might weep,
To seed our gallant stars and stripes
Float freely o’er the deep.
To feel a famine stricken land
From our abundant store.
And show the brave true Irish heart
We prize it as of yore,
And ever may our warlike sons
Remember! that to save.
Isstill the noblest attribute
Os men, this side the grave.

Anr Ocrlnnd Journey, &c.
By Sir George Simpson.
Lea & Blanchard are about to issue
one of the most interesting books of travels
that has ever been published. We speak
by the card, having read the work in the
sheets. It is the journey of Sir George
Simpson from London round the world,
bv a track never before perhaps accom- i
ptished in one continuous journey hy any
traveller, certainly hy none who has given
the world his journal. From Montreal
he went down the St. Lawrence, and
when water communication ceased, trav
elled on horseback and in other modes
over the broadest part of this continent
to the Hudson Bay Company’s posts on
the P acific. Thence he visited California, \
and afterwards explored the intricate
steam navigation of the North-west down
•and among the Russian Possessions.
Then beginning at the extreme point of
IRu-ssia in Asia, he travelled by various
•conveyances through Siberia and the
denser peopled parts of Russia to Moscow,
thence to St. Petersburg!) and thence to
London. Over all this immense line he
carried the eye of a keen observer, and a
practical naan. His observations are
shrewd, always interesting, often amus- ,
ing, and full of practical information. | ,
Siberia seems quite a tolerable country; ; ,
and its people, the Intermixture of exiles :
notwithstanding, are better than those
nearer the large cities. The rough and j
laborious incidents of the long journey; I
the fare oflhe various inhabitants of what, 1 ]
measured by miles, amounts to nearly | ,
half the globe; the characteristic and ! .
illustrative" anecdote, related in an off- ,
hand and pleasant manner, make this one I
of the best and pleasantest books of the ;
kind we ever met. The following ex- |
tracts relative to California will be ac- !
ceptable to the reader; I -
‘•Of the women, with their witchery of j
manner it is not easy, or rather it is not <
possible, for a stranger to speak with
impartiality, inasmuch as our self-love is
naturally enlisted in favor of those, who,
in every look, tone and gesture, have ap
parently no other end in view than the
pleasure of pleasing us. With regard,
however!© their physical charms, as dis
linguished from the adventitious accom
plishments of education, it is difficult even
for a willing pen to exaggerate. Inde- |
pendently of feeling or motion,their spark
ling eyes and glossy hair are in them- ;
selves sufficient to negative the idea of
tameness or insipidity; while tl>eir sylph
liks forms evolve fresh graces at every j
step, and their eloquent features eclipse |
their own inherent comeliness by the
higher beauty of expression. Though
doubtless fully conscious of their attract
tions, yet the women of California, to their
credit be it spoken, do not ‘before their
mirrors count the lime,’ being, on the
contrary, by far the more industrious half
of the population. In California such a
tiling as a white servant is absolutely
unknown, inasmuch as neither man nor
woman will barter freedom in a country,
where provisions are actually a drug and
clothes almost a supeiflinty; and ac
cordingly, in the absence of intelligent
assistance, the first ladies of the province,
more particularly when treated, as they
too seldom are by natve husbands, with
kindness and consideration, discharge all
the lighter duties of their householde with
cheerfulness and pride. Nor does their
plain and simple dress savor much of the
labor of tlie toilet. They wear a gown
! sufficiently short to display their neatly
turned foot and ankle in their white stock
j ings and black shoes, while perversely
enough they bandage their heads in a
i hauk'erchief so as to conceal all their
; hair except single loops on either cheek;
j round their shoulders, moreover thev
j twist or swathe a shawl, throwing over
I ry
all, when they walk or go to mass, lire
‘beautiful and mysterious mantilla.’
‘•'Fhe men are generally tall and hand
some, while their dress is far more showy
and elaborate than that of the women.—
Round a broad-brimmed hat is tied a par.
ti-colored cord or handkerchief; a shirt,
vv Inch is usually of the finest linen,displays
on the breast a profusion of lace and em
broidery; and over the shirt is thrown a
cotton or silk jacket of the gayest hues,
with froags on ihe bade, and a regiment
of buttons on the breasts and cuffs. To
come next to the nether man, the panta
loons arc split on the outside from the hip
to the foot, with a row of buttons on either
edge of the opening, which is laced to
geilier nearly down to the knee; round
the waist is a silken belt, which, to say
nothing of its value as an ornament, serves
the utilitarian purpose of bracing up the
inexpressibles; and underneath, through
the flaps aforesaid, there peer out a pair
of full linen drawers and a boot of un
tanned deerskin, the boot on the right leg
invariably forming the scabbard for that
constant companion, the knife. But onr
dashing friend, to lie appreciafed by the
reader, must be placed on horseback, the
quadruped being generally as gay as his
master. The saddle, which is encum
bered with trappings, rises both before and
behind, while at either side there swings
a wooden shovel byway of stirrup.—
Thus comfortably deposited on his easy
chair and pair of foot-stools, the human half
of the centaur propels the whole machine by
means of enormous spurs with rowels to
match, setting rain at defiance from head to
heel, without the help of any of your patent
waterproofs. To say nothing of the broad
brimmed hat, his legs are protected by a pair
of goatskins, which are attached to (he sad
dle-bow and tied round the waist, while his
body is covered by a blanket of about eight
feel by five, with a hole in the centre for Ihe
head. This blanket or scrape appears to be
to the vanity of the men What the bed is to
that of the women. It varies in price from
five dollars to a hundred, sixty dollars being
the ordinary rate for a fine onet it is made of
cloth of the most showy colors, sometimes
trimmed with velvet, and embroidered with
go!d. With such painted and gilded horse
men, anything like industry is, of course,
out of the question; and accordingly they
spend their time from morning to night in
billiard-playing and horse-racing, aggravat
ing the evils of idleness by ruinously heavy
bets.
“In a word, the Californians are a happy
people, possessing the means of physical
pleasure to the full, and knowing no higher
kind of enjoyment. Their happiness cer
tainly is not such as an Englishman can cov
et, though perhaps a Californian may with
reason disparage much of what passes under
the name in England, the accumulating of
wealth for its own sake, the humoring of (he
caprices of fashion, and the embittering
even of the luxuries of life by blended feel
ings of envy and pride. But whatever may
be the merits or the demerits of Californian
happiness, the good folks thrive upon it. They
live long, warding off the marks ofage for a
period unusual even in some less trying cli
mates, and with regard to the women, litis
is the more remarkable, inasmuch as they
are subjected to the wearing effect of
early wedlock, sometimes married at thirteen,
and seldom remaining single after sixteen.
In the matter of good looks, both sexes mere
ly give nature fair play, scouting as well the
cares as the toils of life.”
[From the Nashville Union.]
liow Oiilics increase ihe Revenue;
This is a proposition which itje advo
cates of protection in this country have
derided as absurd at the same time they
denied it as untrue. Yet we find the fa
mous champion of free trade,in England
proclaiming the same as true, and forti
fying bis assertions with facts.
In the early part of the month of Janua
ry, a public dinner was given to Mr. Cob
den in Genoa. At this dinner he made a
speech of which we present the following
extract to the attention of our readers:
“There is a great lesson to be learned
bv government—a lesson as yet learned
but by two nations—which will teach them
how to increase their revenues by lessen
ing their custom duties, a process which
augments the population, wealth and
commerce of a nation, and thus increases
its ability to contribute to the revenue of
the State. I will give vou a fact or two
in illustration of what 1 mean. The U.
States of America enjoy probably the
most moderate tariff in the world, in that
country nine-tenths of the revenue is de
rived from the customs. In England,
where for the last quarter ofa century we
have been marching in the path of free
trade, one-tbird of our enormous income
is yielded by the customs. In France—
which has yet to take the first step in the
reform of its tariff—-one tenth only of the
taxes is raised from this source. And in
Spain, w here the restrictive system reigns
supreme, so small a fraction as one-thir
teenth of the revenue is all that is raised
at the custom houses. If I were to take
other countries I could show, that in pro
portion as they depart from the principles
of free trade, they dimish the resources
of their treasury. Seeing, then, that the
interests of the governments and the peo
pie are identical in this matter, 1 feel con
fident in the extension of sound commer
cial principles every where. 1 need not *
remind you, gentlemen, that the removal
of commercial restrictions must promote
the interests of Genoa. Nature has given
you a deep and capacious port in a sea i
that is not famous for good harbors. Your
merchants possess capital and enterprise, |
your sailors have always been renowned
for their courage, sobriety and persever- 1
! a nee. 1 do not forget that from among !
them sprung that great and daring genius
, who sailed upon the discovery of a new j
world. You have all the elements of
j commercial greatness, and require only J
tree scope lor your energies to achieve the j
highest prosperity for your beautiful city; |
a prosperity which will be du able, bo- j
cause it is based upon the principles of
Justice and humanity. ,;
Mere is a happy commentary on the
foregoing, being a statement sent to Con
gress by the Secretary of the Treasury,
of the gross receipt, from the customs at
six principal ports for three months under
the old Tariff, compared with the receipts
tit the same points tor the same period un-
I del* the new tariff .

teresting subject.
The Mobile Advertiser.
We are not personally acquainted with
the Editor of this paper, and only have known i
him through his editorial lucubrations, as a
violent partizan. But lie has recently forced
himself upon our attention in away which I
we cannot allow to pass unnoticed. In pub
lishing in his paper of the 27th ultimo,
some remarks of our’s upon Mr. Clay,
suggested by the loss lie has sustained in
the death of his son, on the field of battle, |
the editor has taken occasion to ascribe mo
tives to us which show him to be incapable
himself of generous emotions, or an honest
motive for any political act. We are very
gratuitously charged with insincerity, and j
party designs in the language of compliment ;
which wc used in rcferencelo the great Ken
tuckian. We will not deign to discuss the j
plausibility of such an accusation. It is I
absurd on its face. But we must set down j
a man as being one of a very little soul, who j
cannot conceive of an editor sincerely adrnir- |
ing a political opponent, and giving him .
credit for patriotism, though differing 1010
ccblo from his political opinions.
The vile motives attributed to us, could
only spring from a man essentially a black
guard by nature and education. In what
manner the Constitutionalist may have con
ducted the political campaign in 1844, we i
shall not now discuss. That was before we
became its editor. But we will vouch for
our gentlemanly and respected predecessor,
that be deported himself and conducted his i
paper with a manly and honorable fairness.
Because lie opposed Mr. Clay and his opin
ions, he did not consider it necessary, or a
part of his editorial duty ‘-to blacken his repu- j
tation and to blight his fair fame,” He warred i
against his opinions—not his character. Nor
was it in character with him to pursue any
political opponent “with violent abuse and
vindictive persecution.” That mode of con
conducting a press is reserved for such spirits
as the editor of the Mobile Advertiser, who
possesses no other ingredient in his composi
tion but malignity, to give energy to his edi
torials, and who is unconscious of such a state
of feeling as an honest opposition to men \
from principle, unmingled with personal bit- |
lernees and hatred. Such a man is incapable
of just sentiments—is a stranger to generous
emotions, and would never tell the truth of
a political opponent unless he could profit by
it. He therefore ascribes to others the same
disgraceful motives that would surely influ
ence himself.
He is a blind and silly bigot who bates a
man because be differs from him in political
opinions—and a most arrant knave who will
deliberately calumniate him to gain a politi
cal object. We are disposed to think that
the editor of the Mobile Advertiser is a little
of both, from the facility wi.h which he can
accuse another of acting from such bad im
pulses.
We have never considered that among the
requisites of being a political editor, vve were
never to admire a great man, if an opponent —
never to believe him capable of a patriotic act
or motive—or ifthe pages of our country’s his
tory emblazon bis patriotism in limes of for
eign war and national peril, too bright for
concealment, to view any grateful allusion to 1
it. as treason to party and therefore improper.
When we wish to pay a compliment to a
great man, who is a Whig, we shall not first
ask leave of such creatures as the editor of
the Mobile Advertiser. We shall neither do
sire their approbation, or fear their displea- ,
sure.
OTWe think the following remarks of the
Federal Union, especially worthy of consid- ;
eration. We commend them to our readers,
and hope that they may not pass unheeded.
The Federal Union deserves its large and in
creasing patronage. We hope that its pros
perous career will continue unchecked. We
are gratified to perceive by several re- I
cent paragraphs in Democratic papers in |
Georgia, that the Democrats are arousing !
themselves to the importance of sustaining
their press, and are in this respect beginning
intake pattern after their energetic oppo- |
nents, the Whigs.
Deiuocmli c New spa pers.
We make our acknowledgments to the
Democracy of Oglethorpe for the flattering 1
notice of this Journal, found in the proceed- |
bigs of their meeting, in another column.— |
I 'Flie measure they recoyimend—the exten- |
j sive dissemination of Democratic papers, is j
one which must commend itself to the favor- j
able consideration of all, who have confi- j
den'ce in their principles, and who expect to i
secure their triumph. To be prompted load j
the people must know the dangers impending
over them; to he able to act wisely, harmoni
■ onsly and efficiently, they must be enabled
jto act intelligently. 'J’he press is theengine
upon which they must rely. There are j
thousands of Democrats in the Slate who i
i take no papers nf their political creed, and ,
I who consequently have no means of becom
i ing acquainted with its practical operations;
of the tacts and argnmen's to sustain, or the
1 assaults upon if. The consequence is, thev
are unable to wield the influence which it is
in their power to command.
The Whigs act more wisely. Their pa
pers are extensively circulated, hy far, more
generally taken. Their poison is widely ex
tended. If counteracted, Democrats in this
respect must imitate their example. They j
must send the antidote to destroy or neu- j
, tralize the band.
The accession to onr subscription list
within the last few weeks, of scores, indeed ;
we may say hundreds, is ominous of anew !
and better state of filings. Our Democra- j
tic cotemporaries we hope, have been favor
ed with similar omens. Let the people know i
what are the principles of the Democracy
and properly understand them, and they will
be appreciated and sustained.
Fire in (fritflii, (fa.
A slip from the office of the Georgia Jes- !
fersonian ot the 28th u 11., gives an account j
of an appalling fire which occurred in that 1
place on the 27th, by which a number of i
store houses were consumed. The Masonic |
Hall and several other buildings were blown .
up to stop the progress of the flames.—'The |
Whig office was considerably damaged by
removal, and Mr. Latimer of the same, much
injured in removing a portion of the Press.
The following is a list of (he sufferers:—
Mr. Wright, Mr. McNeil, White & John
son, Woolen, Leak, Shulman, Shannon,
Martin, Shackelford. Lewis, Burr and Cherry,
have all lost largely, some their entire all, ;
unless insured. Mr. Lewis, we understand, j
was insured on his stock, at SIO,OOO, and
the store house was also insured. The
Masonic Hall premises and Mr. Wooten’s
were also insured. We know of no other
insurances.
Messrs. Stern, Block, Dorsey &■ Knott,
Hill, Brewer, Wtiite & Hicks, Word, Mur
ray and others, suffered considerable by the
damage to their goods by removal.
Honor " to Commodore Conner.
We understand, says the Philadelphia Pen
nsylvanian, that the dinner offered to Com
modore Conner lias been accepted, and will

both parties. 4'he day has i?ot yet been fixed, i
As a testimonial of the high honor enter- I
tained of tiie distinguished services of Com
modore Conner, vve learn, says the Pennsyl
vanian, that lie has been offered by the Sec
retary of tiie Navy, speaking for the Presi
dent the responsible position of Chief of the
Bureau of Construction, Equipment and
Repair, This offer was accompanied by a
letter of the most complimentary character.
We have not vet learned whether Commodore
Conner will accept.

ground. The action of the battery is unceas

THE ALHAMBRA AGAINST THE WORLD!!
Yesterday forenoon a great feat was a
chieved by Mr. Allen at the Alhambra or
bowling saloon.
With twelve balls rolled he counted 300,
making twelve successive ten strikes. The
alleys are 84 feet in length, and the pins are
not so easily knocked down as on Frank’s
alleys in New York, which we learn are but
75 feet long. St. Louis, in the far West, and
all the cities of the North, East, and South,
nay all points of the compass, must acknowl
edge themselves beaten.
Mr. Allen stands A No. I, in the alphabet,

At the close of our last report the market was
very dull, and continued on Friday ami Saturday
the same, both buyers and sellers wailing the
steamer’s accounts. 'Lite Liverpool advices rep
resent the market as having taken an upward ten

! previous rates, at which prices sales have been
effected. Yesterday ali tie better feeling prevail
ed than at any time this week. The sales of tho
week foot up 1551 bales, as follows: II at 10c.; 38

CHARLESTON. 3lay J.— Cotton —The cof*
ton market, for several days prior to our report of
the ojth ult, had been in a depressed state; and
w hen we closed our quotations on Friday, prices
were in favor of purchasers; the week under
review, however, shows quite an opposite slate of
affairs, ow ing to tlie favorable intelligence receiv
ed from the other side. Yesterday the transac
tions were limited to 320 bales at the prices pre
vailing on Tuesday Although there is a w ide
margin between our quotations and those ruling in
the principal European markets at the time of the
sailing of the Cambria, holders have that abiding
confidence in this staple, both on account of the
great deficiency in the aggregate receipts, and the
comparatively light stock on sale, w hich seems to
be so perfectly under their control, that they have
refused to meet purchasers at any abatement in
prices, who on the other hand, have during the
last three days evinced a spirit of determination
not to submit to the demands of factors, to any ex
tent at all events; and we look forward to a very
quiet market until vve shall receive the advices
per the Caledonia, which was to have left Liver
pool on or about the 20th ult. The sales since our
last foot up 5600 bales against the receipt in the
same time of 5961 bales. The actual transactions
are as follows:—39 bales at 104; 52 at 101; 166 at
101; 123 at I0y; 706 at 11; 80 at 11J; 92at 114; 281
at 11*; 1214 at HI; 168 at Ilf; 1864 at Ilf; 29 at
D j; 658 at 12; 43 at 12j; and 46 bales at 124 cents.
The following quotations will correspond w ith the
improvement which has taken place during the
week just brought to a close, viz:—ordinary to
good ordinary 10* a ID; middling fair 11* a Hi;
fair and lolly fair 12a 12*; and choice 124.
Corn. —The recent foreign accounts has com
pletely unsettled the Corn market. Purchasers
demand a heavier concession than holders are
willing to make, and the market throughout the
week has consequently been very quiet. Small
parrels of country have been sold at 90c., which is
a decline of sc. on the prices previously paid. Our
quotations for the present are nominal. There
have been no arrivals from North Carolina since
our last. The receipts per the Rail Road com
prise 9200 bushels.
Flour. —The recent accounts brought over by
the Cambria, seems also to have completely un
hinged the I’lour market. There has been some
little inquiry for the article, at prices, however, to
w Inch holders refused to submit; and the transac*
tions have been confined to small lots
Flour, at prices ranging from 64 to $74 pjS|barreL
We have lor the present erased all quotanons, ex
cept for the description noticed above. Received
per Rail Road 550 barrels.
Freights. —There is nothing offering to either
Liverpool or Havre, and quotations are altogether
nominal. To Boston we quote Cotton in square
bags at Ic. and Rice SI 25 per tierce. To New
York we have no change to record, and quote as
formerly. Cotton in square bags a ic; Rice, per
tierce, sl4.
MACON, April 29.— Cotton. —The favorable
newr by the Cambria, caused an advance of 4 a
cent in this market, and we quote extremes at 104
all* cents. Holders seem indisposed to sell and
but little Cotton changed hands. In New York,
Philadelphia, Charleston, and Savannah, the ad
vance has been from i to I cent,
