All feel in joy and grief alike One word most cloudless nnd refined. That gives a brightness to our brow. One word deep cherish'd in the mind. This hidden word can never change, In every heart the same, and same, It softly sings, or trembles still— A glorious universal name. This is the word wliosc breath can take From every pining brow the afro, The lovely and mysterious sigh Heard at all times, and everywhere. The word from whence all other words As from a source immortal spring, And whose undying sound is heard Where’er a human voice may ring. This word, now gay, now seeming dark, Is mirrorr’d in the streamlet bright, And in the beacon awl the sun, As in the lonely window'* light. That mingles with the village pipe. And with the wild dove's notp of glootn, That in the chattering cradle laughs, And still trill hover round tlie tomb.

TAYLOR’S CAMP. We have seen and conversed with a gentleman direct from Matamoros, and from him have gleaned various interesting items of information as to the situation and doings of the army of occuptaion. Including regulars, it is supposed that nearly 30,000 men are now at the camp near Matamoros, and at the various posts belonging to the Americans. Gen eral Taylor is pursuing a course of in struction which is fast bringing the Volun teers from an undisciplined mass to an efficient nnd well drilled corpse; in (act the only subject of complaint among them is the severity of the discipline—a usual charge made by Volunteers—drill ing fjom breakfast to dinner and from dinner to dark. The health ol the whole army is very good, and the men in fine spirits, anxious for the march onward, if only to escape the severe drills.

The theatre was erowded; the song was sung nnd received with rapture : it was repeated eight limes, and again encored; and when sung the ninth time, the whole audience stood up and joined in the chorus. Night after night, “Hail Columbia” cheered the visitors of the theatre, and in a very few days it was the universal snug of the hoys in the streat, from one end of the city "to the other. Nor was the distinguished nmlmi of this truly national song; a song which met the entire approbation of all parties of the day—forgoton.

A friend of the editor of the Charleston Patriot writes from Washington July ID: “ It seems to be taken for granted that a demonstration is to he made on the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa, and that the only thing now winning, is to determine the mode. *• There is an invention before the Na val Committee, for a fire ship—that will reflect shot. That, it seems to me would he more efficient, than ull the ships in our navy." In connection with this we extract the f'flowing in which we do not place any faith: “ The fleet at Vera Cruz, it is said would attack the Castle on the 10th iasl., and it is whispered that it may be given up without a struggle.” Another paper says—“ Passengers by- services in another capacity than as com mander of their corps, they loudly mur mured and sternly opposed his leaving them, this, however, lie hud no intention if doing. He appears to he a great fa ANTIQUITY OF CHINA. A very inteiesting course of lectures has lately beendelivered in England, by a Missionary-, who has been for several years in China, and he has given some interesting sttistics with regard to the an tiquity of that empire. It appears that the Chinese divide their history into three parts: authentic, traditional, and mytho logical. At the present time, they "have a very correct and distinct mode of com puting their historical eras by cycles of; fifty years, by which the lecturer finds that the first real personage who sat upon the throne in China, begun to reign 2200 years before Christ. This was 140 years after the flood, and 47 years after the con fusion of tongues at "Babel. According to this, the king must have been contem poraneous with the immediate descend ants of Noah! The whole number of em perors belonging to 14 dynasties is 206. The number of empresses is not given. “These,” says the lecturer, “liehaved so ill, and were so often at the bottom of all mischief, that it was found necessary, three or four years ago, to dispense with their services in this capacity.” THE TELEGRAPH MADE TO TALK. The Charlestown Courier, contains a notice of an invention, by Dr. Hume, one ofthe Professors of the Citadel Academy, whereby the Magnetic Telegraph may be made to speak as well as to write. How “ The ltusinn telegraph is alleged to be of every stranger is to see nnd converse with him, even before “old Zak” is thought of. One of the American troops taken at the battle of the Dili, and who had been conveyed with the army of the enemy to Monterey, had escaped and returned to Gen. Taylor’s Camp; he was in Montery four days, and was enabled lo escape by his guard deeming him secure, and get ting upon a frolic, when they returned for him in the morning lie had “just stepped out.” He stales that there was a large fiirce of the enemy at Montery and that the Mexican troops woie pouring in by battalions; that tin- town is strongly for tified, being surrounded by a canal of water, ami that a large force would be required fur its capture. It is now un derstood that President Parades is him self at the head of the Mexican army, burning to retrieve the honor of tlieir arms, nnd that all the available force of the Republic is to lie centered at Montery tinder his command, amounting ns is rep resented ill ull lo about 30,000 men. Should this be the case, the force of the two armies will lie equal, and a sanguin ary conflict may lie expected—Columbus Tima. MAJOR MONROE. We extract the following from the N: O. Picayune, of Slst inst. “We congratulate the Major that he will probably have an opportunity of dis tinguishing himself in the field. His com mand is one worthy of such a soldier. One of our correspondents at Point Isa bel writes as follows: “Our popular and efficient commander, Major Morjroe, relinquished the command of the post about a week ago, having been given a most beautiful, responsible, and enviable command, as Chief of Artillery, or commandant or the Light Artillery Batteries. Every one in the army was pleased to see the command given to such an nblo officer, and look upon it as a merited compliment and reward for his services rendered here so effectively in trying times.

Cow. A MAN SUSPENDED BY THE THUMB. A correspondent at Kingston, 1L I., furnishes the Providence Journal with the following: “Mr. Gray of Providence, one of the nainteis on the Congregational Meeting House in this place, week belore last as cended the steeple to take off the vane for gilding. The ladders reached the foot of the iron spire on which the vane turned. 12 lo 15 *'cet above. Mr. Gray then as cended the iron spire, by grasping with his hands and twisting his legs round the bar of iron, which did not exceed two and a half inches in diameter, relying up on the ball, lmlf way up the spire, lo rest his feel on, und from which position he could lake the \anc oil' with bis right hnnil. While lie was in the very act the ball on which his feet rest gave way, anil run down tlie spire. At this moment Mr. Gray was raising the vane over the end of the spire; as Tie did so, tbe spire grow ing smaller, made a convenient place for bis thumb lo keep tlie balance in the gud geon bore, when tbe ball gave way under bis feet and he sunk. The vane falling Irack with his thumb in the gudgeon bore, held him fast, with his feet 3 or 4 feet above any thing to rest upon. He made two or three efforts lo extricate his thumb, but without success, and after his strength was nearly exhausted he called for help. His life now depended upon the strength of his left hand. The consternation of the beholders was great—some running one way and some another, to obtain something to release tlie man from his perilous situation, while others turned away unwilling to witness the catastro phe which they apptehended in a few minutes. Mr. J. H. Clarke, one of the painters, came immediately up the spire, nnd placing his shoulders under the feet of the suspended man at once relieved him. Tbe scene was terrible to behold $50,000,000, There i3 a great silver mine called La Gran Quevira, 130 miles north of the Rio Grande, on the road from Santa Fe, to Chihuahua, at which it is believed the aliove immense sum lies buried. We hope it is true, and thst it will be discov- ed and divided utnong the army. The following narrative of nil that is known on the subject, is taken from ihc Matamoras Flag. In El Paso del Norte, is to be found the first record of this extraordinary mine, The great aqueduct of stone and cement which is twenty miles in length, and con veyed water to this mine, and the splen did church which |now stand perfect, (one of tho most extraordinary pieces of architecture, as respects its ornamental decorations, durability and imposing mon uments) conveys some idea of the great Wealth of the place. It being situated in the centre of the first ridge ol the Rocky Mountains, was naturally isolated. The numerous tribe of Indians in its vicinity, •nvious of its growing greatness, had ob served that at long intervals the treas ures of the mine were carried to Spain, at that time Mexico being a Viceroyalty, and seeing them at one time making pre parations to start with a largo convoy, congregated together many thousands and laid siege to the place. They open ed the acqucduet and deprived the be- seiged of water, causing all the inhabi tants and operatives of this large estab lishment to perish, save only two, who OHIO VOLUNTEERS.

McNulty, former Clerk of the U. 8. House of Representatives, a private in the Young Guards of Mount Vernon, THE CHARACTER OF THE EDUCATION SUITED TO THE PEOPLE. Mean. Editors:—You tvere kind en ough to introduce these essays to the pub lic by an address delivered by me before tbe Sunday School Association of Albany. In this address you will frad the caidinal principle upon which I think all education should he based; and particularly that, suited to the propensities and tendencies of the American people, such as 1 have des cribed them in tlie Inst essay. This is that it should be divided into the three bran ches—animal, iulelteclual and spiritual, nnd imparled sepcralely. Our institutions are founded upon the great truth, that mun bus been doomed to subsist by the sweat of his brow. Hence, the most extensive field of labor—the agri cultural, is that upon which our chief na tional dependence is made to rest. But ibis labor is impossible unless the animal system lias been trained to it from its ear liest infancy. The education of our ani mal natures, is then n first step in this great class of duties. But our animal nature comprises more than mere physical habit and ability,—the moral propensities are all indweiters in this system, and they too can not be too soon developed. Nor are these all; health belongs chiefly to the animal constitution; and if labor nos been one of the curses entailed on man, death is anoth er. To live then, and be capable of the duties of life, the young frame cannot be too early braced. Still there is one law more, and even more important than all the rest, for without the habit attaching lo this, all the other advantages of animal education are lost, or w orse, become agents of distraction. 1 allude to obedience—the habit of obedience, impressed upon our ear liest youth. This is a state belonging to us as creatures, for without it, the creature himself would soon cease to be respected. The American people, are a people of law —of fixed, indubitable law; if obedience is not made then to accompany them through life—commencing at its earliest stages; how can an abstract principle of law be made to govern them 1 This is a question of vital importance in examining the de- taile of any system of education, mat shall be proposed for a free people, animal edu cation then, begining with the first dawn of life, is necessary to any plan of general edu cation. But this is not the department upon which 1 would most insist; and simply be cause no general system could be adopted. Each branch of industry has its peculiar rale, and almost every family its particular discipline. It is enough then lo insist upon the obligation, and I will go on to consider the intellectual department. A nafton may produce abundantly of the fruits of the earth—it may be moral—its population robust and submissive to disci pline ; nnd yet the fate of that nation be that tho treasure is still buried. Alter learning these facta from the doc uments Manures, of St. Louis, Mo., who saw this record in New Orleans, many Americans and French visited this extra ordinary mine, and are witnesses to the acqueduct, -church or temple, and the high mound that forms the square where the houses are supposed to have stood, with a large court-yard in tho centre. The mouth of the mine is still open and is of most extensive smelting are haiphta.'on XoCHh ed ifeo, it-tt worked. wt*n in fact roa- jfewb» h«£jjiqr“i u£mu« made a miraculous escape to the city of Mexico. When there, they reported the disaster, staling that before all was lost they had succeeded in burying an im mense treasure—over 60,000,000—and they desired aid to go nnd’raiso the same but, os the mine was 1,400 miles off, and amidst the bordes of the savages of the north, nobody would advance any thing for the expedition, and it was therefore abandoned. One of them started for Spain and the other for New Orleans, that place being at the time under the do minion of Spain. In New Orleans it is iional degree of intellectual improvement, on record that five hundred men went to j >m (t0 ^ correc i e d if f am wrong in raise this treasure, but not one was heard W ying, that the day will come when the of after, which leaves the conviction that oowerof grain upon the Mississippi valley, they were destroyed by the Indians, and will keep the moat accurate reckoning with • J ■ - -->1 • j the industrious husbandman of the fertile ever exposed to the most trying vicissitudes, if its intellectual character be unformed, or not coextensive with the influence it is capable of wielding over tho destiny of other natios. ... There can be little question, thst at tlie present advance of intellectual science, en ough has been determined to shew most clearly, that the harmony of the moral uni verse is to depend upon the coincidence of the human will. But will depends upon judgment, and judgment upon universality of observation; hence to arrive at any de gree of moral amilioralion the universal mind of man mutt be brought to a propor- the industrious husbandman Nile—that not a furrow will be turned in the wilds of Siberia, that shall not be in strict economicol keeping with a furrow in the wilds of Russian America; and this, from the exercise of tho will of man, in conformity with tho eomprehenitrenoss of his enlightened understanding. If I bo correct in these premises—if the harmony of the natural universe shall require this beautiful economy, and that of the moral universe a consonant exercise of human will to eflect it; and we see this, as I have —- . .. already said, through, the present light of visible as ifbut a short uino had elaps- t j, # m i n d; how necessary is it that a peo- be won by so preparing the will of man, ns ns tlmt no opposition however great shall divert him from his purpose; or in oriier- words, to use the language of the last es say, his watchword shall oe, “ God’s world for God’s people." I have now shewn the foundation upon which 1 would lay my claim for an exit tid ed and general system of intellectual edu cation, lor this great Republic—the ten dencies of the litinmt. mind, and particu larly its mind, at the present moment; ami tho inevitable obstacles in the way of these tendencies. But it will be contended that an educa tion must be sublime that will give a unity of will to an entiro nation, and even far ther, to the entire world. 1 will grant that perfection is not possible on earth, but this should not prevent us frem aspiring after it. The problem before us is how ever, simple; will depend on judgment— judgment on observation, and observation on tbe variety of objects presented lo our minds. AVc have simply then to marshall all the stores of the natural and moral king doms of the creator, mid place them clearly before each and every mind of tba entiro republic, and the duty of education is ac complished, as far at least as the intellect is concerned. But it will he asked, is each and every mind of the Republic capable of appreciating these stores, aud of attaching to them equal value ; for without this the uliiiiiate action of the will would bo dis owned, nnd the unity lost. There is no question ns to the variety of human capa bility when applied to ihc same end ; but wheu we take in the vast dissimilarity of pursuits, and the consequent differences of mind to engage in them with equal profit; this difference of capability will be rtudily accepted, and the harmony of the universal will be found to depend essentially upon it. The furnishing objects lo the mind, is not however the entire duly of intellectual education. This mind has powers capable of almost infinite improvement. These powers must be fully developed, that when the abstract laws of science are submitted to its mind they may be equally understood with the apparent. Here too it may be also insisted, that the same means will not produce the same general end; that tho power of attention in one mind may vary infinitely from that of another: in like manner their tenacities, Ac. But hero again the difference of these powers, is .in strict keeping with the difference in taste and susceptibility ; hence, if after develop ment wc lind these powers vary, it will be because the respective duties required of them shall also vary. Questions in ab stract mathematics may facinate one mind, and its attention in their solution be infin itely improved ; while the high moral at tributes of Truth, Justice, Mercy, Peace; which enter necessarily into all ot our social and political relations will produce little or no interest on this mind; and another, with less concentrationless but more 6ympniliy, will riot in their consideration ana applicn-. lion. It is n whole of intellectual action* that we seek by general education, and ni l the same degree or kind of action. Hence, the entire end is obtained w hen wc present to each and every mind of tbe Republic, all the objects and laws of the natural nrd moral kingdoms of the universe; nnd al low each and every one to attach itself i« that interest or pursuit which shall be me; agreeable lo its individual consiiiutir n.— This is education in its strict pliilott | :..c acceptation, anything less is benroih » free people, and utterly at variance w i ; their national characteristics. But tv i this general understanding and liberty of choice in the pursuits of life, bring that unity of will, ot which I have spoken, anil which is already foreshadowed to tlie iiiiml of man? Scarcely,—for I have not yet treated of the third branch of education— the spiritual, and this enters largely into every consideration in which the will of man is concerned. The mind, properly intelleclualized, is fnmiliar with the objects and attributes of Almighty God’s creation, and wjlh these together with the animal aspirations, builds tor itself in early life an ideal perfection. If this be not assailed in its incipieney by a freerer ethics, and the creature taught "to attribute all perfection to the creator; he goes on gradually lo incorporate this Utopia with all his animal and intellectual endeavor, until the severe tuition of experience teaches him its folly, and in due season he recognizes that the unity for which he struggled is only to be found in an union of the will of the crea ture with that of the creator—the supreme force governing all. and where the lesser forces refuse to coalesce, they are instantly thrown off. But how is this error to be corrected; what is the nature of the tui tion ; how is the spiritual element to be incorporated into the nature of manl In answering these questions I shall find my self in tno same situation that I was, in treating of the animal department of edu cation. If the parent dispenses the first clam of blemingt, the Church is equally jealous of dispensing tbe last. All spiriu ual instruction however, aims at the union above alluded to; and with the intellect tual culture duly enforced, the spiritual is rendered proportionally easy; hence,'in the essays before me, I shall be found I real inf almost exclusively of intellectual educe lion. But if the parent . disposes' of oat- branch, and the church snotheYi who i to take charge of the thirdl This will t the enquiry of the next essay.
