COUBAHT.l J.elter frsaa Mr. Jelersoa to Was. H. Crawford. Wo are again indebted to the Kev. Mr. Craw, ford fur another letter (which follows) from Mr. Jefferson, to hi* father. The one published a few »e -ka since, wua written in Feb. 1816. That manuscript it full,smooth, and even—showing that uge had a* yet affected his writing hut little. This of 1821, exhibits iu a considerable degree, the Ire. ■nulousuess of increasing years, and the reasons hleness of the desiro to placa upon the shuulders ol his younger friend the performance of tho duties referred to in the letter. Il can but be gratifying to Georgian* in particular, to see exhibited the ft fectionate confidence and regard which was repos ed by Mr. Jefferson in the favorite son of Georgia. Tito interest taken in the Polish General and palri ol Kosciusko, was amply merited by the services rendered lo his unforlunute country, and to our owu in ils struggles for independence! lie re ceived the highest manifestations of regard from our Congress tor his services, and an elegant man. umeiil to his memory hits been erected by tho Ca. dels at West Point, within Iho works, which were there raised by his skill, and under his superinten dence. ‘•Monticeu.o, Aug. 13, 1821. Dhar Sir ;—You liuve seen announced in sever- ol of our papers, an intention uf the Puionesse na lion to erect a monument near Cracow, tu the me inory uf General Kosciusko, and their wish that Euglund and the United States, by joining in con tributions, might give a proof of the interest they take in his character—that for this purpose, they had addressed a letter to Lord Holland, in England, and lo myself in the U. S. I received in fuel, such a letter sumo weeks ago, from the President of the Senate at Cracow, with an indication that it should he communicated to you also. Much at a loss to devise in what way I could set about the execution of this proposition, I have held the subject for some lime under consideration. Retired as I am among the mountains of our interior country ; I see no- body but the farmers of my neighborhood, who would consider contributions to public monuments in other countries as very foreign lo the condition und business of their lives. 1 have been so long withdrawn ton from intercourse with the world that no longer know who of Kosciusko’s fellow sol ai>rs aru now living, as from them we might expect the most zealous co operation in rendering this last testimony uf respect to him ; and above nil other considerations, the heavy hnnd of age, paralizing the faculties both of body and mind, has rendered me quite unequal to the correspondence it might require, und unfit to become the centre of such an operation, independent of tho express intimation tu communicate the papers to you. 1 should of my self liuve turned my views first to you, as the friend of his fame, and aid of my ago; and because should any communications witit Lord Holland hi expedient, your acquaintance with him would open the door to litem. Notwithstanding therefore the burthen of business which your oflico imposes on you, I have hoped that in your position, you could put the thing into an organized course with little trouble. You know who remain of his former companions in arms, and where to be found ; you could probably think too, of some person in each state and great city, who would undertake with zeal the necessary solicitations, and you could command nttentions which would not be yielded lo me. The trouble of drawing a circular, which the scribes by whom you are surrounded would multi, ply, would, i hope, be the principal labor imposed on you, for I presume the contributions should be deposited in convenient Banks from which tiiey could be easily brought together for remittance, or (witich is veiy possible under present distresses) should their amount fall short of what might be deemod worthy of acceptance, tiiey could be readi ly restored to the contributors, and an ajiology lo the Senate of Cracow given on reasonable grounds. 1 suggest this course by way of example only, for you may probably devise some other more practi cable and promising. I inclose you the papers sent to ine, and knowing the labors of reading to which you are subjected, 1 would point out to you the let ter of the President, and the Proclamation of the Senate, No. 1, as the material papers for explain ing to you their wishes and expectations. I hope you will excuse this trespass of age leaning on younger shoulders, to reliovo itself from a burthen to which it is unequul—from such an one I never shrunk while I had force lo encounter it. In all events lie assured of my constant and affectionate friendship and respect. TH. JEFFERSON.” titer Chewangle no r any of hia race had the satis faction of seeing this great undertaking accom plished.—Thornton's Iltilory of China. Thb Aggressive Power or Russia.—The Russian army, without comprising the corps dis seminated in Finland and in tlm Government of Orenburg, is composed of ahnut 600.000 men. in cluding the reserve, estimated al 160,000. Il is sufficient to carefully observe the distribution of thisnrmy in the different governments to be con* vinced tlmt the Emperor hus not an obsolute con. fidence in the dispositions uf a part of bis nobility and subjects. Imposing military forces liuve been concentrated on severui points, and we believe that it would be imprudent lo weaken these places in case of war. Therefore, unless the Russian or. my were doubled, wo do not well see how the Em. peror of Russia could direct an invasion on France, particularly if he refusod to leave defenceless the great number uf vulnerable points which disquiet him in lime of pence. But to increase tho urmy appears to us a thing impossible for two reasons ; the first we have just staled ; it takes its origin in the sentiments uf the nobility; the second lies to the situation of the (innneos of the empire. Sioco the Russian debt was consolidated in 1817, the Gov ernment has successively contracted 12 new loans. Recently, also, an ukase was published in the St. Petersburg Gazelle, throwing open to foreigners a loan of 41.000 OOOf. It hns never been possible to efTect a single loan in Russia. That of 1820 was contracted for by Messrs. Baring dc Go., of London ; that of 1822, by Messrs, de Ilolhschid ; ' those of 1828, 20. 31, 32, and 1840. by the firm of Hope, of Amsterdam ; those of 1642 and 1843, were negotiated in foreign countries by the Russian houso of Stieglitz and Co. The writers on statis- tics most in favor of Russia allowathat the receipts of the empire are constantly below the expenses, and the annual deficit' is estimated at 50 or 00,. 000.000. By adding up the amount of loans, and b) joining to that sum the assignats and hills und notes of va rious sorts thrown into circulation under a variety of names, tho figures of the annual deficiency is ar rived at with tolerable precision. A continental war would singularly injure Russian credit in for eign counrties ; and tlie London and Amsterdam firms would think of tho matter twice before they again undertook similar negotiations. The war like monarch would therefore bu reduced to the in ternal resources of his empire. There loans are utterly impossible, and tlie experiments mada in 1817 and 1818 under the name of voluntary lonns clearly prove what would be the fute ol such at tempts if made again. Since that period, in fact foreigners have always been applied to, because it Ims been impossible to realizo in the empire itself the smallest loan, and it has been necessury to cre ate in several urgent circumstances bills of credit, of which tlie value became rapidly depreciated.— The public revenue of Russia does not reach be yond 550,000,000f. A war would inevitably re duce it, and the numerous monopolies and regal du ties which furnish a part of tho receipts would not undoubtedly work any longer with the same regu. Inrity. The customs, which at present bring in about 100,000,OOOf, would no longer offer the same revenue, once that n war would have troubled mar itime commerce. Russia herself would bo little able to protect this commerce, for her fleet, al though numerous enough, is in sufficiently fitted but and the incapacity of her crews Ims become pro verbial. In tho present state uf things her land forces cost her nearly 200,OOO.OOOf, although they are very badly paid, and tho fleet absorbs about 60,000,OOOf. Thus, nearly half of tho revenue is employed in keeping up the land and naval forces of the empire, und these forces oppeur absolutely necessary to restrain the population within bounds, and to watch over the old Muscovite nobility, who, alter 20 years of secret struggles, have not yet been able to become reconciled lo the Emperor Nicho las.—Constitutionnel. For What Is a Mother Responsible t A mother is usuuliy also a wife, and hae the management of a family and a direct influence over lltoao within Iter appropriate sphere. Site is in subordination of courao to her head, which is the ■eat of authority and weilds tlie seeptre of guvern. men!.—From a position of entire dep penduuce site has risen to power and rank ; and ihuttgh her throne may be in a cottage, and her domain the little wurld ol household attuirs, yet site is not less really res. puusible, than that youthful queen who sways a sceptre uvor the four quarters uf the earth. But fur what is she responsible 7 She is responsible fur tlie nursing and rearing of her progeny fur their physical constitution and growth ; their exercise and proper sustenance in eurly life. A child left lo grow up deformed, bloated und meagre, is an object of maternal tteg. bet. She is responsible for the child’s habits, including cleanliness, order, conversation, eutittg, sleeping, inunners, und general propriety of behavior. A child deficient nr untuughi in these particulars, will prove a living monument of parental disregard ; bn cutise, goneiully speaking a mother cun, if she wil greatly cuntrol children in these mutlors. She is responsible for their deportment. She can make them fearful und cringing ; she cun mnlcc them modest or impertinent; ingenious or deceitful; mean or manly ; clownish or polite.— The germ of all llieso things is in childhood, and a mother can repress or bring them forth. She is responsible for tlie principles which her children eiilerluin in early life. For Iter it is lo say whether lltuse who go forth from Iter fireside shall no imbued with sentiments of virtue, truth, honor, honesty, temperance, industry, benevolence and morality, or those of a contrary character—vice fraud, drunkenness, idleness,covetousness. These last will be found to be of the most natural growth but on Iter is devolved the duily, the hourly task if weeding her little garden—of eradicating these idious productions, und planting the human heart with the lily, the rose and the umarauth, that fade less flotvur, emblem of truth. She is to a very considerable extonl respousibl for the temper and disposition of her children.— Cousliluttonaiy, th ;y ntny bo violent, irritable or re vengeful; Inn for the regulation or correction these passions it mother is responsible.

Rnverenco for God, acquaintance with His word, respect for the | duties and ordinances of religious, are within the ability of every parent to implant, and if the child ren grow up ignorant or regardless uf the Bible and ' the Savior, what mother when she considers the ! wickedness of the human heurt, can expect them j to rise up and call her blessed ?—Mother's Jour nal.

The vus'.ness of the mass may be better appreciated by considering that it is more than sufficient lo sur round the circumference of the earth, on two of its great circles, with two walls, each six feet high and two feet thick. Walls had beon already erec- tad by some of the petty princus uf the north, to cxcludo the barbarians from their stutes.

They were never led. There was not the slightest sign of a truck in this part of the desert, but the camels never failed to choose the right line. By the direction taken when first starting they knew, l suppose, the point, (some encampment) for which they were to make. There is always a leading camel (generally, I believe the eldest,) who march es foremost, and determines the path for the whole party. Ifit happens that no one of the camels ha* been accustomed lo lead the others, there is very great difficulty in making a start. If you force your benst forward fur a moment, lie will contrive to wheel and draw back, at tlie same time looking at one of the other camels with an expression and gesture exactly equivalent to “apres vous,” The responsibility of finding the way is evidently as sumed very unwillingly. After some time, how. ever, it becomes understood that one of the beasts Ims reluctantly consented to take the lead, and he accordingly advunces for that purpose. For a minute or two lie goes on with much indecision, ta king first one line and llton another, but soon by tlie aid of some mysterious sense, he discovers the true direction, and follows it steadily front morning tonight. When once the leadership is establish ed, you cannot by any persuasion, and can scarce ly by any force, induce a junior camel to walk one single step in advance of the chosen guide.

A bill was uu ler considers- lion to charter a Botanical Medical College at We- -umpka ; and after severui friends of the hill had spoken in its favor, Mr. Morrisett entertained the House by the following etfeclive speech iu opposi tion :— Mr. Speaker, I cannot support litis bill, unless I am assured that a distinguished acquaintance of mine is one of the Professors. He is wlmt tlmt 1 College wishes to make for us—a root doctor, and will suit the place exactly. He became a doctor in ; two hours and it only cost $20 to complete his ed ucation. He bought a book, sir, and read the : chapter on fevers, and that was enough. He was | sent for losee asickwoman—a very sick woman. VVitlt his book under his arm, off he went. Her husband and llieir son John were in tlie room with the sick woman. The Doctor felt of her wrist looked in her mouth, and then look off his hat.— ■Has you got,’ addressing tlie husband, ‘a sorrel sheep 1’ ‘No I never board of such a thing in all my life.’ Well, there is such things,’ said the doc tor very knowingly. ‘Has you got then, a sorrel horse V ‘Yes,’ said John, quickly, ‘1 rode him lo mill to day.’ 'Well, he must be killed immediately,’ said the doctor,’ ‘and some soup must be made and given to your wife.' The poor woman turned over in her bed. John began to object, and the husband was brought to a stand: ‘Why, doctor, he is the only horse we've got, and he is worth $100, and will not some other soup do as well?’ ‘No, the buok says so, and there is but two questions—will you kill your horse or let your wife die ? Nothing will save her but the soup of a sorrel sheep or a horse, if you don’t believe me I will read it to you.’ The doctor took up the bonk, turned to the chap ter on fevers and read as follows ;—‘Good for Ca vers—sheep sorrel, or horse sorrel.’ ‘Why, doc- tor,’exclaimed husband, wife and son, ‘you are mistaken. That don’t mean a sorrel sheep, or a sorrel horse , but,—‘Well I know what I arn about,’ interrupted the doclcr, ‘that’s tho way we doctor’s reuds it, and we understands it.’ Now, said Mr. Morrisett, with an earnestness and gravity that were in striking contrast with the laughter uf the House, unless tho Hon. Speaker and the friends of this bill, well assure me that my sorrel doctor will be one of the Professors, I must voto against the bill.” Sour Sauce.— An excellent sauce fur boiled pud. dings is made ns follows .

At n late meet, ing. n member sotted that timber should be cut down in May or June, when the sap is active. He instanced several facts from a paper by Hon. Tim. o'.hv Pickeries;, laid before llto Mass. Agricul. Society in 1821, which states thnl oaks fell in May, lasted 22 years ; those cut in February, last hut 12 years, though exposed under the same circumstan ces. A farmer in Massachusetts cut a birch for a well sweep in May, and peeled the bark off. It lasted 17 years ; whereas birch cut in llto winter, with the bark left on docs not last moro llinn one year. Many other sintilur cases were enumerated from the paper.—He said that timber cut in June, should be sawed immediately nftcr it is cut, as it then works easier. Timber will decay under three conditions : first by being moist tinder a free circulation of uir : se cond, when subjected to the notion of gn-rs, und shut out ftom air ; third, in water, when in contact with vegetable putrifying matter.

American Ladies in Paris.—A late letter from Paris, published in the Boston Atlas, says : “It has been estimated that the Americans, ulonn, who uttended the court ball spent upwards of five thousand dollars, that would otherwise have re. maioed in their purses. Embroidered coats arc expensive, and were I to mention tlie total uf some of lha inilliaur’s bill, 1 fear it would frighten away those who ure obliged tu pay them.” The same letter mentions the appearance at one of (lie Court bulls of “a Bostonian lady who imivus in the highest circles nail has boon particularly ad mired.” It nlso says tlmt the belle, par cxcellnece, ut Paris, is Miss McTavisli, of Baltimore, under the protection of her aunt, the Marchioness ol Wei- luslcy. “Tho number of Americans now annually pre sented is greater than tlmt of any oilier cuuutry, for our Ministers cannot refuse any une who will conform tu llto usage t but were it aitei dud with no extra expence, it would be quadrupled.

They slopped lo look at the shield, and exchange salutations. One then remarked that the shield was uf tjrass, hut the other eaid that it was of sti ver. Tlie former repeated hie declaration, lit* 1st. t.-r repealed his. The one maintained with in creasing vehemence that it was of brass, tlie other nf silver. The dispute waxed holler, till from words they came to blows. Al this limo another traveller rode up, and asked the cause of dispute, and was referred to the shield. He looked at it carefully and said—“Why, you are both right aud both wrong. The shield is braee on one side, and silver on the other. Gentlemen, the next time be* fore you fight, you must “look at both sides !" In March, 1623, it was enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, “that whosoever sliaff absent himself from divine service any Sunduy without an allowable excuse shall forfeit a pound of tobacco, and ha that absenteth himself a month shall forfait 50lhs. of tobacco." It was further enacted, “that no minister be ab sent from his church above two month* in *11 th* year, upon penally of forfeiting hulfo hi* mease, und whosoever shall be absent above four mouths in the year shall forfeit bis whole means and cure.” “Tlmt no man disposo of any of his tobacco be fore the minister be suti&hed, upon pain of forfei ture double his part of the minister’s means, and one man of every plantation to collect Ilia meant out of the first and best tobacco nnd corn.” Singular and Voracious Fish in the Oeono- ke.—Returning to the water’s edge, the captain relnted to us an incident which guvo us warning against bathing in those parts.
