On the first of January, 1850, the first number of
the Eisbti Volcmb of the SOUTHERN CULTI

ProHjS tu«, it so deemed unnecessary to make any
new promises. If seven years of continued, unflag
ging, earnest effort to improve and advance the Agri
culture of the South have not sufficiently established
the character of the work, nothing that can be said on
this occasion will contribute to such a result. The
Publisher duwres that h:s future efforts in that greai
and noble can<*e shall be judged by his past. It it
his purpose o make the Cvltivator equal, in every
respect, to whet it is now ; what the planters of the
South want a medium for the communication of the
thoughts and opinions of practical men, that they may
•ucceasfuily teach each other whatever is important u
their interests and lheirpr oleiwioo.

of the eurea f*rfortneJ by hiiu in the past f,ur year*.
To ths Public —I had the n>i*fi>rtune, in 1845, to
take a tittle too much of the over j .yful, lay «»ut all

bitten I rent for the itiott eminent Physicians of

any relief it all and finally gave me up u> die, leu

that I could not raise up in bed. As a dernier resort
I went f>r Dr. Moseley, who, to the great surprise of

Evsrt Body Rsad This.- For the benefit of
others, I pro- red to give a statement of my LwncMt*.
In the year IM4 I was at'ncked wiih Consumption,
and tried the Mineral Physicians for nearly two
years without any r* lief, and finally came to the con
clusion that I must die; but being persuaded bv niy
friend® to try the Botanic Practice, I concluded to
in ke the effort, and called on Dr. M.weley, who, in
four months actually had me up, sr<* able to attend
Io my dotuest is concerns I would advice every per
son afflic ed with this lustbs me isease, to apply to
Dr. W. R. Mosely st once, and have their health re
stored. EPHRAIM BI&HUP.

I hereby certify, that in the year 1844, I was af
flicted with Dyspepsia in its worse form; in tact eve
ry thing that I eat deranged my stomach, so that 1
would spit it up directly. 1 was advised to try Dr.
M *eley, and did so, and in three weeks 1 was per
fectly w*ll. Tnere is no kind of doubt aboat bis
curing the Dyspepsia,—and there is one other thing,
it only cost me five dollars, and had 1 applied to a
Mineral ite, in all probability 1 would have been in
my grave, with a large bill for my executor to have
paid, f->r a few doses of calnuiel and morphine, whieh
has destroyed more lives than either the sword or
famine. ROBERT GREEN.

he accordingly prescribed, and in one month 1 was

To tkb Public.—This certifies l«ir more than two

during w hicn time she was under th * treatment of the
meet eminent Mineral Physicians that 1 could pro
cute, but she continued to grow worse, until she final
ly got so that she c->uld not move hand nor foot, I ev
idently saw that she would die in a tew days if not
relieved. As a last resort, I procured the services of
Dr W. R. Mosely, though without any hope of her
recovery ; but to my great aaliefaction he had her in
perfect health io three weeks, and she has ev r atnee
been a hale, hearty woman.

OUR DAILY PATHS.
Naught shall prevail against us t or disturb
Our cheerful failb, tba r all which we behold
Is full of blessings.- H’ordnoorlh.
There s beauty all around our path, if but our watch
fui eyea
Can tra*>e it ’midnt familiar things, and through tbdi
nr wry ;
We may find it where a hedgerow showers its blos
soms o’er our way,
Or a cottage window sparkles far in the last red light
of day
We may find it where a spring shiner clear, beneath
an aged tree,
With the foxglove o’er the water’s glass borne down
wards by ’he bee;
Or where a swift and sunny gleam on the birchen
stems is thrown,
As a soft wind pleying parts the leaves, in copt-ea
green and lone.
We may find it in the winter boughs, as they cross
the cold olue rky,
While soft on icy pool and stream their penciled sha
dows tie,
When we look npon their tracery, by the fairy frost
work bound.
Whence the flitting redbreast shakes a shower of
crystals to the ground.
Yes! Heauty dwells in all our paths—but Sorrow teo
is there;
How oft some cloud within us, dims the bright still
summer air!
When we carry our sick hearts abroad amidst lhe
joy'ul things
That through the leafy places glance on many colored
wings.
Wit h shadows from lhe past we fill die happy wood
land shades,
And a mournful memory of the dead is with us in
the glades;
And our Jream-iike fancies lend the wind an echo’s
plaintive tone,
Os voices and of melodies, ol silvery laughter gone.
But are we free to do even thus—to wander as we
will —
Bearing sad visions through the grove, and o’er the
breezy hill ?
No! in our daily paths lie cares, that oftimes Lind us
fa»t,
While from their narrow round we see the golden
day flee past.
They bold ns from the woodlark’s haunts and the
v* let-dingle’s buck,
And from all the living sounds and gleams in the
shming river’s track ;
They bar us from our heritage of spring time hoje
and mirth,
And weigh our burdened spirits down with the cum
bering dust of earth.
vrciiug uuoiui caiio.
Yet should this be? Too much, tooeoon, deepondiog
we yield!
A better lerson we are taught by lhe lilies of the field !
A sweeter by the birds of heaven —which tell us, in
their flight,
Oi Ou- that through the desert air for ever guides
them right.
Shall not this knowledge calm our hearts, and bid
vain crnflic.la cease ?
—Ay, when they communo with themselves in holy
hours of peace,
And feel by the lights and cloud? through which our
path way lies,
By the Beauty and the Grief alike, we are training
f r lhe ekies.
THE TWO HOMES.
BV MRS HtMANB
Seest thou tny home?—‘tie where yon woods are
waving,
In their dark richness. to the summer air;
Where yo blue stream, a thousand flower-banks
laving.
Leads down the hills n vein of light—’tie there !
gleaming,
Fringed with the violet, color’d with the skies!
My boyhood’s haunt, through day a of summer dream

Under young leaves that shook w'th melodies.
My home I the spirit of its love is breathing
In every wind that plays across my track ;
From its white walls the very tendrils wreathing,
Seem with toft l*uks to draw the wanderer back..
There am I loved -there pray’d lor—there ray mother
Sits by the hearth with meekly thoughtful eye;
Th-re tuy young sisters watch to greet tneir brother —
Soon their glad foot tie pa down the path will fly.
There, in sweet strains of kindred music blending,
All tha hotue--voices meet at day’s decline ;
One are tho-e tones, a? from one heart aM-.ending —
There btughs mu home —aad sUanger!— where is
thine?
Ask’stthcu of mine?—ln solemn pence ’tie lying,
Far o’er the desert* and the tombs aw.iy ;
’Tie where /, too, am Lived with love undying,
And fond hearts wait my step But where arr they?
Ask where the earth's departed have their dwelling !
Ask of the clouds the stars (he trackless air !
I know it not, yet trust the whisper, telling
My lane heart, that love un binged is there.
And what is home, and wht-re, but with the loving?
Happy thou art, that so eauat gaze on thine!
My spirit feetoj but in its » eary roving,
That with the dead where’er they bt, is mine.
Go infby home, rejoicing »on and brother!

RESPONSIBILITY OF ENJOYING
, THE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY.*
BY RBV. GARDINER SPRING. D. D.
Pastor of the brick Presbyterian. Church t N, York,
It is not easy to estimate the debt of gratitude
which those portions of the earth owe to the
distinguishing goodness of God. who enjoy the
stated minis rations of his word. The Chris
tian ministry is among the seleciest blessings
which can be enjoyed by men; one of the '
important elements of 'individual, social and
national prosperity. It is the institution which,
aboxe ail others, make* Christian lands what I
they are. gilds them with a zone of light, and .
-beds upon them the balmy influences of hea
venly mercy.
“What nation.” said Moses tn ancient Israel,
“is there so great, that ha!h statutes and julg |
ments ss righteous, a* all this law which 1 set
before you this day ?” This was the pre
eminence of the Hebrew sta!-e: they were
a better instruced and better governed
people. a ho ier and I appier people, !
han any of the surrounding nations. The j
God ot Abraham was a “glory in the midst ol
them, and a wall of fie round them.” There
be set his ’inbernacle for a shadow in the day
t»rr.e from the beat, and for a covert from
su*rn> and fr-«nt ruin.” Speaking of ’he resto
ration of that backsliding and cha-tised pen
pie after days of darkness rebuke. God
himself Rays to them, “Turn, O backsliding
I-rael. for I aru married unto you; and 1 will
take you one of a city and two of a family, and
I will bring you unto Z on. And I will
give you”—what is the gift that the great
e.M of all giver* will give to his restored and re
espoiKed people?— ‘ I will give you Pastors
|4 according lo mine heart, which shall feed you
with knowledge and .niwlßr>uaJfo l? *' . tla
it PaalmUL in taking of them, Mye “Sleiiwid
uro thefpeopie y»ho know the joyful sound);
t- they shall walk. O Lord, in the light of tfiy
courreiiance. If thia pre eminence was en
R joyed by the Jewish people, under a compara
tively dark and shadowy dispensation, with
h how much stronger propriety does it belong to
Christian ‘ands, enjoying, as they do, so much
i- clearer light and that “better covenant, found
ed upon better promises?
n Tms is not a subject on which the Scriptures
speak in doubtful or uueuiphatic language
58 They tell us of lhe gifts ol God to men; above
others do they magnify his ‘ unspeakable gift,”
s the gift of bis only and well beloved Son.
They speak, too, of lhe gifts which his Son
bestows, as the rewarded and rewarding
Mediator; gifts which he purchased by his
death, and of which he is the honored
f dispenser. When he ascended up on high,
’ 4, he gave gifts to men,” worthy of his roy
al bounty, and such as he himself selected as
> the most fitting and striking expressions of
his munificence on his first accession to bis
mediatorial throne. “He gave—some. Apos
3 ties; and some. Prophets; and some. Evauge
lists; and some, pastors and teachers; for
I perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry.”
These are the gifts he bestows on us. The
“lines have fallen to us in pleasant places, and
( we have a goodly heritage.” We may glory
in lhe vastness of our territory, and in the rapid
, growth of an enterprising population ; we may
survey with high and honest exultation the
blessings of that civil and religious liberty
which we have received from our fattier* ; but
if we are not recreant to lhe trust committed
5 to us, and feel as they fel», we shall prize the
Christian ministry. Amid all the beautiful and
, varied scenery which delights our eye as we
look over this broad land, we shall remember it
i is written. “How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him that Lringeih good tidings,
published] peace ; that bnngeih good tidings
of g”od, that sailh uuto Zion, Thy God roign
eth !
Privilege and obligation are but correlative
i terms. 'The greater lhe privilege, the greater
lhe duty, and the greater the sin of leaving it
unperformed. We a-k more for the pulpit,
than that it be provided with a pious and well
educated ministry, r han that it should receive
adequate pecuniary -tipport, and be respected
and encouraged We claim for it a practical
regard of the truths it inculcates, and lhe du
ties it enforces. We ask lor it that character,
tho«e hopes, and those efforts which it was in
stituted to attain and advance.
The first great duty which the pnlp t urges,
is “repentance towards God. and fanh in our
Lord Jcmus Christ.” It ho ds up the simplicity
of <he method of salvation by a crucified Re
deemer; the simplicity ofa spiritual laidi in Je
sus Christ in opposition to that righteousne*s
whicn i*by the deeds of the law ; the simplicity
of Christian worship in opposition to the te
dious and complicated observances of all false
religions 'The just expression and proof of
»ts power is found, when those who enjoy its
dispensations cordial y receive this sys am of
truth arid grace, and confide in that Saviour
tbroiigh whom they are delivered from the
curse of the law ; blood answer* every
charge, cover* every sin, enforces every plea
and i’self pleads with Here
who are favored with a Christian ministry
Men do not truly meet any one of it- claims until
this duly is performed. Their obedience to
the Divine authority begins here ; it is vain for
them to think of anything I ke conformity u»
his will, so long as they reject him whom God
has sent, and refuse his instructions who coiner
to them wi'b so many attes’aimn* » f hisdi'ioe
mission. We call upon men, therefore, every
where. to renounce their pretension* to sell
righieoiisiiess, —to feel their sin and condem
nation. —to be sensible of heir inability to save
themselve-, —to be conscious that they have
no claim*, no merit, and to throw them.selve
upon him *ho is the Author and Finisher of
this great salvation We call upon them to
feel that for any good purpose they have no
thing and need all thing-;—to bow at hi* foot
stool, who is holy that lhe heavens are not clean
in hi* sight; and there where archangels bow
and devils tremble, to smite upon their breasts,
and *ay. “ G*»d be merciful lo me a sinner!”
Whence is it that men listen to the me.-sage
brought to them by the Christian ministry,
with not half lhe iu erest and eagerues- with i
which they listen to a lecture on Uiemes of mere
secular interest? A lecture on agronomy, er
history, or some important department in the
art-; a mere play at the theatre, or song al the
opera, or a paragraph from the press telling ol
battles lost or won, and treaties ratified or
rejected, holds them in silent thought
aud admiration. But the lessons of God are
deeming love : the nong that wa* firn rehearsed
by angels on the plains of Bethlehem; the
treaty of peace between heaven and earth
signed W’lh the name of he ever blessed and
adorable Trinity, and sealed wi:h the blood ol
he L'tmb. whoseeyu sparkles, whose bosom
glows at message* like these ; and where are
tl.a voices that repeat these glad tidings? Bold
operations in business interest them ; the aged
gather up their wandering and rouse iheir tor
pid thoughts, and the young lake fire at the
doubtful enterprise: —but tell them of durable
richt'S and righteousness, of heavenly gem*
and di.idema brighter than Gabriel wears, and
they make light of it; it is tame —to listen to it
is a task.
What miserable,—what guilty delusion is
this! I look around me. and see men f (low
ing their different secular pursuits with all the
ardor aud seal they are capable of exercising
I) ffic dty and dangers do not discourage them,
but rather give energy tn their efforts; they
are not phantoms and trifles that they are pur
suing, but realities. But there is one thing
about them all which they have forgotten, and
that is, their uncertainty. They "know no:
what shall be on the morrow.” They are ea
gerly grasping the «* greatest, the most slippery
uncertuiutus." This is a remarkable fact in
U • nfetory us man. There is but one certain
event in all his future course. Be he high o»
low. rich or poor, learned or unlearned hap
py or miserable, young or old, the friend •!
God, or his enemy ; there is notuae among ail
the millions of our race, who can. with certain
ty. anticipate any other event in his fuuire his
tory. save the single one thathemext die. Bui
shut out this message of God's redremtug toei
ey. and what a tearful certainty iadeath. Perad
venture his course may be serene and cheerful
up to that hour of sadness; but there darknes*
overshadows him—terror agitates him—deep
and heavy clouds settle over the gates of death
AH beyond—what is it ? Yet is there a ‘ clear
ing” even through this dark val.'ey ; a brighi
opening; a vista of the heavenly world O
there is everything in death to make us dread
its approach apart from those principles and
hope*, which rue like the star of promise on
the soul.
• Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of me Father, and of the Kou and ol
the Holy Ghost.” The Ancient of Days, the
Son of man. the Spirit of truth and grace in
ail iheir undivided luve authorize this mission,
and stand pledg* dto conform to the message
which it bears The words of men may be
coensels of wisdom; the words of God have
the force of law. The words of men are o>
doubtful verity ; the words of God are truth
The words of men may he uuacc Hnphshed
word*; God's counsel shall stand, and he will
do all his pleasure. The heavens and he earth
shall pass away, but his words shall never pas
awav. Wonderful as these truths are gra
cious as they are, and tremendously fearful as
they are. they ar* as unchangeable as the Deity;
they are -etiled hi heaveu. and e.caaitshed for
ever There is all the sincerity about them
which belongs to the ess<*ncs us ruth and good
ness; all jhe authority belongs to them which
belongs to Infinite rectitude and Oiumpuieiu
justice. They are fixed and permanent as his
throne; they will never be retracied, never si
te red ; nor are they revealed m such a wav a
to stifle our hopes, or excite one needhss fear.
I'nere is nothing wavering nothing uncertain
in relation to any one feature of this Gos
pel; come wbac will, it wul stand m ail ita

its ibreateomgs. Whether men receive, or re

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 12, 1850.
dispenuniion: G«»d was i s Author. Yet wa- n
preparatory only to the one that “cannot bt
moved.” God “who at sundry times, and in
divers manners,spake unto the filters by the
► prophets, hath in these last day» spoken unto
us by his Son.” Were an angel from heaven
to visit our world, we should crowd around
him, and should be anxious to know the errand
on which became. Angels have descended in
times /ar gore by. and men listened to their er
rand with astonishment. But their message
was a very subordtna’e one to th tt brought by
lhe Son of God. “ For if the word Rpoken by
angels was steadfast, snd evr-ry transgression
and disobedience received a just recomptrnse of
. reward, Low &hall they escape who neglect so
great salvation, which a’ the first began to be
■ spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto
us by them that heard him ” We have the
<saiue tea imony. Men disregarded the voice
| ol God’s prophets; they stoned some, killed
some; “yet having one Son, he sent him
saying, They will reverence my Son!” it is
the Saviour’s voice by whom this message is»
uttered He bows his heavens and cornea
down. He walks amidst the golden candle
sticks. When hts mini-ters speak tn his name,
is with them ; when hjs pet pie meet toge
i ther. he is there. He will be sanenfiud iu them
j that come nigh him, and before ail the people
will be glorified.
It ts a solemn thought, too. that to those who
reject this div.ne message, tt is as though na
real message hud been revtubd We have
rpokeu of me power of me pulpit, ot the con
-tituent elements of that power, and of tut
correlative obligations of bis ; bu-
what is all this to lhe man who disregards the
II message it brings ? kis as though the pulpi
d -tad no power; nay, it is as chough there were
II not a Christian pulpit in the world kis a*
hough there were no Sanctuary no Sabbath,
a d no Go-pel and a I the light o» these pre
s cion* hopes w ere blutt d out in the

t lands bound tn cuatns to the ignominious cir
of sin and death ? We have spoken of what
the pulpit has done. Time would fail to tell

happy They have lived in peace, and when
j deafh came, have lifted their eyes to lhe eternal
hills whence ih» ir help Over a world
strewed with lhe ruins of a thousand genera

O the blessedness of this sweet hope in
i Christ! J4isi conceive of a man in the state
ol Wdii-im Howard, so distressed bv a view o
his sins and danger, that he says. “do grea*
was the anguish of my soul, loat 1 lamented
Gud had spared Noah aud his family. O that
they had been swept away by the Deluge;
then 1 had never been!” Aud afer he had
become reconciled to God through Jesus
Chris!, speaking of his joy, he says, “ My
tungue, or pen, can faintly describe it. All Ute
bliss that I had ever enjoyed, wm no more
like it tnan midnight darkness is liae lhe meri
dian sun it was heaven indeed; something
ol the real nature of neavtn 1 then enjoyed.
My soul was wrapt in (he embraces of the
adurade Jesus, and 1 was so overpowered
with holy love that I was lost to everything
else.” It is related of the Countess of Hun
tingdon. that she was brought to the knowledge
ot the truth as it i« in Jesus, through lhe in
strumentality ol* the single remark of the La.ly
Margaret Hastings, that “ Mince she had
known and beliaved tn lhe Lord Jesus Christ
sne had been as happy as an angel " When
the dun of righteou-ness beams un the soul,
sometimes rising like the faint light in meri
dian splendor, joys visit it that are alterua.ely
sen ne and rapturous, now tranquil, and now
un-peskable and full of glor>.
The brightest earthly "career his its trials,
aud they arc trials which find no relief attd no
adeviaiion but from the Divine presence and
favor. Here alone is the febrifuge f»r the
burning heart; the pillow for the aching head.
“ How suit to lean ou Heaven !
T» lean on Him o-i whom arcua.'igd* ie<l3.”
This world forsakes us on the approach of the
winter’s morin ; before the chili blasts of »»d
versity it retires Not co the religion of the
Gospel. Misery in ail forms has p*-c»il.ar at
tractions for this message of heavenly mercy.
Tile spirit of the world and the spirit which i«
of God often meet at lhe door of human
wretchedness; but the former leaves ft because
lhe sources of ns joy are dri» d up; the latter
enters because there are sources of btt’erness,
and tears to be wiped away. Such love and
pity are found in she Gospel of Christ, and
on'y there for misery and poverty like ours.
Not until this celes.iai messenger is made wel
come. can men be holy, or h ippy Tne voice of
conscience, lhe voice of God, every cross and
disappointment, and Inal repeats lhe call,
“My sort, give me thy heart ! ” And O that,
fro.ipL, His 4 iusuu«hl« .x’i'uJ—f v»»<t
one <»f my readers may respond, My heart,
nlevsed Lord, will I give!
But there is another alternative. ‘ He that
is not with me.’’ say* lhe L*>rd Jesus “is
4gain*t me.” Those who reject t'ns message
of the Christian miuisCy rto s on their own
ve.ipansibihty. and at their own peril ** |i thou

There is a r ason for ibis iu ihe natur-: of

and perseveriuglv rejected, only leave the mmd
imre obdurate Tins is the way men become

where there is not a drop of wat r to cool th ir

wiH be the end of d>s egardi t g and r»f eting the

of such a man as he sees the last hours of
huinao lite passing away, end the lament mon is
extorted rom his bosom, •• I'he harvest is past,
the summer anded, and I am not sated! ’
What a fearful transition will that be frmn the
Christian sanctuary to the bar of God! There
wid he mourning then, when " many sha I
come from the ea*t and from the west, and
from the north and from the sooth, and sit
down w th Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in
the kingdom of God, and they themselves are
cast out.” Ah, they know not what they do.
to whom God has given a tai hful ministry
and wno reject the great salvation They are
not the atheist, and the infidel, and the immoral
only who perish. Large and free as it is, the
love of God is no refuge even fur the mural
and the orthodox, who treat the message of
his ministers as they treat their Master, and
tread it under their feet Ii is the last message
Infinite luve makes its greatest effort here.
It cannot do more ••There remainezb no
more sacrifice for sin ”
When the rich man in the parable lifted up
his t yes in hell, and saw A*>raham afar off
and Lazarus in his bosom, hi cried and said.
" Father Abram have mercy on inn, an I send
Lizarus. that he may dip the Up us his finger
in water and cool my tongue; for 1 am tor
mented in this flame ! ” The time will come
«% hen the de*piscrs of our message will cry
for mercy, whather they ever d’d before or
not. They wil cry long and loud ; ibey will
ifi up their voice in awtul distress ; but there
shall be none to answer. Nor will it be lung
before that day of calamity shall come it
mivy be forty years ; it may be twenty ; it may
oe ten ; it may be five ; it may be two : i:
may not be «ne. Eternity is nearer than they
think of, and that place of torment is as near
as eternity. We know not wnat a day may
nring forth. Yeslerd iy is fled upon the eagle
wings of lune; tomorrow belongs to G»d
and not to man Tnese golden Babbaths will
noor have passed away. arid the voice of the
living ministry will soon be silent among the
-dent dead. Could those who die in their
•ins c«»me back again and live, its message
would not be so urgent. But they coin* not.
You call, and they an<*e- not again Yon
look for them in the night; but ti is a dream.
They appear not to mortal eye* ; they apeak
not to mortal ears. They are not in heaven,
! but are shut up in hell. Would that the mm
who rejects the salvation of God could be
transported to eterni y for an hour, if it were
but to witness the agony of those who once
occupied a place in God’s ■ancillary, ani
i whom nothing could induce to fail in with the
redemption that is in Christ Jems! O uread-

The Arctic Expedition.
Tha following is the letter of Instruction*
received by Lieutenant De Haven from the
Secretary of tiie Navy, previous lo his sailing
in search of Sir John Franklin.
United States Navy Department,
Washington, W< dn<sduy, May 15 lr“5U.
Sir : Having been ftke ed lo coioiiixiid th»-

as soon as you are ready proceed with them

Tnrse vessels have been furnished to the
wvernmeni for this am ice by the munifi
cence us a private citizen. Mr. Henry Grinnell,

<«f them, that they may be returned to their

The chief object of this expedition is to sea cl

( You will therefore use all diligence an.-,

-hall here separate ; one for Cape Walker
and lhe oilier for Wellington S.rait; or wheih
er they sha’l both proceed together for lhe out
place or the other.
2>n »uia you ii d it impossible, on account o’
the ice to get through Barrow Strait, you wil
•hen turn your attention to Jotted Sound and
Smith’* Sound. Finding these closed or im
practicable, and failing of all traces of lhe mis
sing expedition, ihe season will, probably then
be 100 far advanced ior ary o her attempts,
if sn, you will return to New York.
Acquaint Passed Mid>hipm n Griffin, befoie
sailing, and from time to time during
lhe voyage, fully, wi h all your plans and inten
tions ; aud before you sail from New York
appoint a place of rendezvous; change it a»
often as circumstances may render a change
desirable,but always have a place of rendezvous
fixed upon ; so that in case the two vessels o’
the expedition may at any lime become sepa
rated, each may know where to look for tne
other.
Nearly the entire front of the continent
been -coured without finding any traces ol
the missing ships. It is useless for you to go
there, or to re-examine any other place where
search lias already been made You will there
fore confine your attention to the routes already
indicated
The point of maximum cold i* said to be in
the vicinity of Parry Inlands. To lhe North
and west of these, there is probably a compar
ative open sea iu summer, and therefore a
milder climate.
This opinion seems lo be sustained by the
fact that beasts and fowls are seen emigratin'.’
over lhe ice from lhe mouth of the Mississippi
river and its neighboring shores to the north
These dumb creatures are probably led by
their wise instincts to seek a more genial cli
mate in that direction, and upon lhe burden*
of the supposed more open sea.
There are other lacis elicited by Lieut
Maury in the course of his investigation*
touching the winds and currents of the ocean
w hich gu aiso to confirm the opinion that be
yond the icy barrier which is met with in the
Arctic ocean, there is a Polina, or sea,free from
ice
Yon have assisted in the-e investigations at
the National Observatory, and are doubtless
aware of the circumstances winch authorize
this conclusion ; it is therefore needless to
repeat them.
This supposed open sea atv I warmer re
gions to the north and west of Parry Island-*
are unexplored. Snonld you succeed tn find
ing any opening there, tuber after having
chared Wellington Strait, or alter having
clea ed Parry Inland-* by a northwardly Cour**-

judgment it may Oe p-u-iem to enter.ami search

Av i 1 \ o -trself of every opportunity, either

It’by any cnai cm you should penetrate s>

you every facility possible to enable you ’o

In cave your country should be involved in

will on no account commit, or sutler any one
of the expedition to commit auy lhe leant act
of hostility against the enemy, of whatever na
tion he may be.
Notwithstanding the directions in which you
have been recommended io carry your exaim
naiions, you tray, on arriving out upon the
field of operation find that by depart ng from
them your search would probably be more
effectual.
The Department has every confidence in
your judgment.and relies implicitly upon your
d screhon ; and should it appear during
the voyage that, by directing your alien
non to points not named in this letter,
traces of the absent expedition would probably
be found, vou will not fail to examine such
point* But you will on no account uselessly
hazard »he safety of the vessel* under you
command, or unnecessarily expose to danger

Unless circumstances should favor you, by

explored regions, or to discover recent traces
of missing ship* and iheir ga ldtit crews or tin-
I'jsayou could gain a position from which you
could commence operations in the season of
1851. with decided advantage, you will
endeavor not to be caught in the ice du
ring the ensuing winter, but, after having com
pleted your examinations for the season, make
your escape and return lo Neff York in lhe
fall.
You are especially enjoined not’o spend, if
1 it can be avoided, more thau one winter tn the
Arctic regions.
Wishing you and your gallaut companions
all success in your noble enterprise, and wub

Truk Educatbun.— We have seldom seen
the difference betwen learning—book-learning
( —and true education, more clearly pointed on’,
than in the following .Hide in an exchange:
Bo'k.s Latin and Greek—and rubmrig one’s
coat sleeves lor about three ye*ra arainsl a
college wall, are, by many, thought all the re
quisites fur a good education. No such thing.
Some suppose that every learned man is there
for® an educated man. Not so. A man ma)
dudy metaphy-irs nil he is gray, and Inngunge*
until he is a walking polyglot,and if he knows
nothings nr re he is uneducated.
T K »t man is educated, truly, who know.*
himself and mankind and lakes accurate, com
mon sense view* of men, manners, and things
around him. Some very learned men are per
feet bl«»» kheads, —the reason is, ih*-y are nm
educated.
By no means would we speak disparagingly
of Books—proper y selected and choice books.
But the great Book of Human Nature isout
which should be the most ihorougt ly read
tVaabingtun. Franklin, & her man, and main
others we could name, eminent men. were no'
overstocked with learning; but their lives and
heir actions prove that they w ere thof -ugnly
educated. Instance® of this kind may be found
in ali conn’ries. and among all cla»*t-s ot pe<«-
p'e -rnert who even have never entered a cn : -
ege hall, but have been a rich blessing to their
< ountry, and gone d-«w n to the ‘narrow h<>u-e ‘

Learning i« only the means, not the end.

« hemtsf, that the flesh of animals whifh are

The Census Bill*
The Census Bill having passed both Houses
of Congress and received the signature of the
President is now a law. Il* provisions are
very full, precise and discriminating; and as a
piece of legislation it is worthy of the age, its
p>ogre>s and increasing civil zation.
And important feature was ad<L d to th** Bill
•n the form o'an amendment <»tf*:red by Mr.
Vmion in the House of Representatives. Tnis
clause enacts ’hat if provision shall not be
made bv Congres- to lake lhe census in ldb’o
•»y the first of June, the present Act shall re
mam in force and the Secretarv of the hiierior
is empowered to proceed at <»nce in the work
in C’M.nectmn w.th ihis i’ is further provided
hat uuiil a new apportionment of repre-enta
• ion in the lower House shall be made by Con
gress the number of member* in ‘he House
shall not exceed two hundred and thirty three.
*’wn matters ol importance and often of great
difficulty are here simplified and made <L finite
and easy. When the census returns all rome
in, the Secretary of the Interior taking the ag
gregate federal population ol lhe United Stabs
and dividing the whole number by two hun
dred and thirty three may a-ceria>n at once i
wha» sto be ihe ratio of representation. It 1
will then be a very simple matter to allot to
• ach State ihe number of representatives to
which il i« entitled and to notify the Governor
<»f ihe same. 'That brief process is all that is
necessary, should this Act remain permanent,
u order to arrange (he troublesome business

Irradiation of Light —It i» a curious fact,
that if the s one letters of the same size precise
ly ara painted on two boards the one white on
a black ground, and the other black on a
white ground, that the white letters will
appear larger, and be read at a greater distance
than the black. Phis ts owing to what is call*
cd rhe irradiation of light. It depends on this,
that the impression made on the bottom of the
eye by bright objects extends a little wider than
'he actual portion of the organ struck by the
light, and invading the apace occupied by
the darker objects, makes the brighter appear
larger than they really are.
Valuable Intention. —The valuable tele
graphic inventi.ui lor which a patent was grant
cd last w-ek to Messrs C. Westbro< k and H.
J Uigurs, of Bahimore, is thus described in
the words of the applicants:
“ What we claim, and desire to have secured to us
by letters patent, is—recorhng telegraphic signs on

Mr. McMullen desired >o know at what

Mr Schenck answered that it had been
customary to report the appropriation biHs,
as the rules required, within thirty days after
ihe meeting of Congress.
Mr Bayly disputed the fact Those bills
had scarcely ever been reported within the
lime slated by the gentleman.

not been reported before now was because of

In Senate.... Jvxi 4.
The Senate took up the resolution offered
by Mr. Bradbury, some time ago, calling on
the President for Copies of charges against
uffiersofthe Government, removed by him.
Mr. Webs'er said he hardly supposed that
the Senator from Vlnine had intended to press
this matter to a vote. But it seemed tba< it

and he waa compelled to tcqnte*Ce in it. But
he w ou‘d be glad hi see ihe decision reversed,
for it was destroy the harmony of the govern

Aa long as the President held the power,

Mr. Bradbury shouid certainly. he said press

that trie thousands and ten thousands ot men
removed from office, were entitled to have
lli» ir reputation vindicated.
He cited Mr Web-'er’s speech in 1835. If
a law could be passed calling on the President
for reason* for removal, a resolution could be.
II the Senator would vote for the r«-uluiu»n,
lie Mr B. would vote lor a law. There had
been more removal* by this adminisirniion

that the r movals were on charge* atFecliug

Mr. Webster replied briefly and the discus

The House then revolved itself into Cem
