Calhoun Aiikmk—We learn that the citizens of Calhoun, have subscribed $3,lott towards building another steam boat, to run on the Oostanaula river, in the place of tlio < 'allioun, recently burnt at this place. Their promptness and energy are commendable, and wo be lieve that the Stockholders in this place will soon do their part of tlio work.— Tlio Oostanaula Steamboat Company been unfortunate in losing two boats within a shortspneo of time, but they possess tlio requisite persevoraneo to succeed.

Hut to pro- l as tlio llouso of Representatives liave done, is to degrade what Mr. Bu- : iitiiaii properly terms, “tlio most lion- •..m'dIo, responsible and dignified office in the world.” And how have they pro- . cdod ? Tlio accusation is couched in tho most general and indefinite I nguago.

Tho next day, Mr. Pryor saw tho cra ven-hearted Chevalier parading, tho lloor of the llouso of Representatives, as large as life. Mr. Pryor could not stand It, he ordered him oil’ the lloor.

Pour Jack, At a meeting of the British nnd For- ign Bible Society, a speaker related '.lie following: \ drunkard was one day staggering in drink on the brink of tho sea. His little son by him, three years of ago, be ing very hungry, solicited him for some thing to eat. The miserable father eon- scions of his poverty, and of the crimi nal cause of it, in a kind of rage, occa sioned by his intemperance nnd despair hurled the child into the sea. A Brit ish man-of-war passing by discovered the plank and the child ; a sailor, at the risk of his own life, plunged into tho s<-a and brought him on hoard, lie could inform them little more than that his name was Jack. They gave him the name of Poor Jack. Ho grew up on hoard *4’ the man-of-war behaved well, and gained tho love of ull tho offi cers and men.

Touciii.no Instance or a .Dog’s Love. —Many months since, James Johnson, uGnrmaii grocer, was .detected in buy ing stolen goods from a slave, knowing tho same to bo stolen. This constituted a felony, and he was committed to jail to answer. During his incarceration, a little dog, who refused to abandon his master when all others had forsaken him, visited him every day. About noon tho faithful brute would appear at the prison, and, waiting a chance, when the ponderous iron door was Hung open, he would rush in and lick his master’s hand through the iron grating. Last October, Johnson nbtaitufd bail and lied. Since that timo the dog lias gono to tho jail nearly every day m search of tho master ho will probably never sec again. Yesterday he obtained access to the prison, and, failing to meet the ono ho sought, tho poor brute retraced his steps slowly and in u melancholy mood.— Louisville Charier, * young officer inquired of him tlio • and place, and found hero was his history.

And judge of the feeling of the dying penitent, to lind tlmt the same young stianger was his son—the very son whom he had plunged into tlio sea, and had no idea but that ho im mediately perished! A description of their mutual feelings will not l»eattcm)>- ted. The old man soon expired in tho arms of his son. The latter left the ser vice, and became a pious proacher of the gospel. On closing this story, tho minister in the meeting of tho Diblo Society bowed to the chairman und said, “Sir, I am lit tle Jack!” Origin ok ‘A Feather in his Cai*.’— Among the manuscripts of the British Museum, says an English writer, there are two copies of a curious description of Hungary, which appears to have boon written by a military adventurer of tho Dalgetty tribe in 1598.
