Here is a beautiful dream of heaven, from one
j who teems herrelf a dream of heaven.
From the Louisville Journal.
A DREAM OF HEAVEN.
In a sweet dream I soared above
Te regi< ls soft and fair,
And roamed wi h spirits that I love
Through heavenly gardens there.
I wandered up on wing of light
To one bright star that shone
Amid the countless orbs of night,
AH peerless and alone.
Alone its perfect beauty beamed
In the blue vau'tsd dome,
And to my raptured vision seemed
The great Eternal's heme.
A ligh* in memory’s hallowed urn
It shall forever beam,
And Memory’s dying look will tarn
To that enchanting dream.
I saw mynngel met her there,
Pure «nd serenely fright,
/ r
All '«£• iu'fwiy light.
She led me where undying flowers
In radiant beauty grew,
And tbiough eternal daylight hours
Birds of rich plumage flew—
—— —..—. , Q _ -
Where fountains o’er the verdant ground
In liquid splendor fall,
And billows, wiih e murmuring sound,
To answering billows eall—
Through shining streets where ’aid the throng
Os spirit forms I meet,
Beloved ones, departed loag,
Who Anew and loved me yet.
They ’urned their gold n harps to sing,
And welcome me ott high—
Even now methinks I hear it ring
Tbit anthem of the sky.
I asked my ger tie mother “ why
Her home was all so fair,
So bright end beautiful the sky
When sun nor moon was there.”
Fhe Told me, as we onward trod,
As erb might thine above.
In realm* tit by the smile of God
Andiadiant with hi. love.
While thus in silvery tone, she spoke,
And glory round us shone,
Softly it faded—l awoke
My dream - i heaven had flown.
TEE CRO3S HUSBAND.
nr nits. B. c. tovßsrso.
Mis. Carweil had been married but little mo e
than a year, when her friend, Mrs. Marston,
dropped in upon her one morning, and found
her convulsed with weeping.
“ My dear Laura !” exclaimed Mrs. Marston,
in astonishment, “ how happens it that you,
who wore the moat cheerful, light-hearted ot
maidene, here become an unhappy wife! Has
your brief experience in married life been so
bitter 7
“O, no," replied Laura, drying her tearsand
endeavoring to appear cheerful. “My husband
is one of the best of men —he Ipves me, and our
childisagcat source of joy and comfort. O,
no, my experience has not been bitter."
“ 1 am glad to hear it,” rejoined Mra. Marston.
“ But it seems so strange to see you weep.
Why before you were married, your heart was
as light as a robin’s in spring. You were all
smiles—and I believe you never knew what it
was to shed tea; a in sober earnest,"
“ True,” said Laura, smiling faintly, “ I was
a gay and thoughtless creature. 1 believe I was
too happy. I ought to have been made to know
something about the cares of life, before mar
riage. As it was, 1 entered matrimony as a child
Illes joyously mid a garden full of flows™, only
to find there are sharp thorns among the roses,
and bees with dangerous stings an.ong the sweet
thyme."
In what have you found the sharp thorns
and spiteful bees of married life to consist 7 "
asked Mrs. Marston.
’• Nothing worth naming—nothing of impor
tance,” replied Laura, blushing. "Indeed, I
ought not to think of my Hille troubles.”
" But what are these little (roubles!” insisted
her companion. " Come, I shall give you no
peace until you tel! me ; and I am a great teaser,
you know, when I choose to be. Does Mr.
Carwell spend his evenings away from homel”
1 O, no."
“jyoca be mrt with other lama. ” ——• •
‘‘No, indeed. He is very attentive to me
He never visits without me.”
“ Perhaps, then, he is too attentive. Hue
bands sometimes are, lam told, though lam
sure the accounts we hare of such mortals, must
be a’toiether fabulous”
“ 1 think so.’’
•‘lt must be Hirn, that Mr. Carwell does not
provide well for his family. But I know ha is
not penurious.”
“Penurious I” exclaimed Mrs Carwell, “he
is the most generous man alive, I have every
thing I could desire.
“ Ah I it is the extreme which troubles you,”
said Mra. Marston. “1 see your husband is too
extravagant. In his eagerness to make you
happy, he neglectsto pay the butcher and baker;
and kequent visits fram certain unwelcome ac
quaintances annoy your sensitite nature. It is
indeed very proveking to have one’s attention
called a coxen times a day to some tmalt bilit."
“1 beg you don’t suspect Mr. Carwell of any
such neglect," interrupted Laura. “His bills
are ell promptly settled.”
“ Then your domestics torment yon. If they
are Hl natured or stupid, or dishonest, turu them
away.”
"I have been very fortunate with my girls, I l
am happy to say.”
“ Then do tell me what troubles you have. I ,
can think of nothing else. 1 should say you are |
the happiest woman in the world, if 1 had not
caught you eryieg.”
“I teil you lam happy. I have no trouble—
that is, no serious trouble, except when Air.
Carwell appeals—l cant’t explain mysell, but
you know, I suppose, that men are not always
in good humor.” i
“ Ha, ha I 1 have got it at last I” cried Mrs.
Marston. “ 1 see it—so your husband is cross
sometimes, is he I ”
“O, not exactly cross—O, no!" murmured
Laura. ’■ Indeed, he Is very kind hearted ; but
he has got into away of finding fault with eve
rything—that is everything except ms, all this,
too, without knowing half the time what ho
says. He scolds about the cooking, without sus
pecting haw much bo hurts my fueling.; fori
oversee it myself, and try hard enouyh to please
him,” added Laura, while tears gathered tn her
eyes.
“ In short,” rejoined Mrs. Marston, “he is a
downright coss hu»band."
•‘ O, no.”
“Yes, he i». Don’t attempt to defend the wretch.
But, if as yen say, he lores you, and finds fault
more from liabi: man from any settled ill will, he
is not past help I have known man likehim.
They are natma iy petulant, but they generally
have no idea how " ess they sometimes are
They can govern themselves if they like
though; they ere not incurable."
"My dearest A'rs. Marston." said Laura,
with an carneat faee, “ you real y appear to un
derstand my case, and if you can suggest any
method of curingGeorgo ot thisfauitii’idißg, you
will remove the only obstravle in the way of my
perfect happiness.”
“ Ah, my dear Laura, you don’t understand
the men as well as 1 do 1 To root the raek
weed out of your husband’s heart, you have on- I
ly to convince him that it is there, and demon- |
strata h-w hateful It is. Now if you say to hint,
kindly, “ George, don’t I pray you, find iault
with everything,” he will reply—kissing you,
perhaps- that he never finds fault without rea
son, and go on, as thoughtless as ever, venting
his spleen at everything."
"But you would not have me reprove him in
an unkind manner I ”
No, indeed—that would make him worse
■till. 1 say you must demonitrate to him the
hatefulneM of his habit of fault finding.”
••Bat how ?”
“Why, when ho finds fault, yon must help

a diipositicn to throw it out of the window,
if he complain, of aeoli room, you moat ahiv

a belter fire. When he calls the bread heavy,
you n ust suggest the idea of using it as clock

you must either cut fret him, end find ten

give him a foretaste of the beautiful bedlam you

Laura was amused by her friend's singular
connsei; but she was no; folly convinced cfber
friend's safety, until Mrs. Marston declared
herself in serious earnest, and instanced a cross
husbaud wno had been eutedin the manner ahe
so wsrtnly recommended.
A ter a long discussion on the subject, Mrs.
Carweil expressed her willingness to follow
her friend’s advice, but seemed to doubt her
abi ity to play the character it would be neces
sary for her to .-.set;me. Mrs. Marston, how
ever, socceeced in p'rsuso'irg her to make the
attempt, and having favored her with full in
structioca how to act, bade her good morning,
' and gaily took her leave.
Mrs. Carweil awaited with some anxiety her
husband’s return to dinner, and when he at
lent-h arrived, it was not witbont many mis
givirgs that sbe remembered her resolution to
meet biin in the same humor he himself was
•B.
It was a eeld raw day, in November, and it
so happened that Mr. Carwell was unusually
cross
"Sueh wretched weather!” he exclaimed,
rubbing his hands and scowling, “and this room
is as cold as a barn.”
•Jane, said Laura, "why don’t you keep a
better fire here/ Pile on ihe coal; we are
i freexittg."
And she quietly rocked the baby, whl'o her
brow seemed to be overshadowed by some great
trouble.
“I,’nt dinner ready f ” asked Mr. Carweil, in
a petulent tone.
“Nearly, it will be ready in a few mossents,'’
' replied Lama.
“ “It is two o'clock,” said her busband, refer
ring to his watca. "When a tsaa comes
borne to dinner, be does not like to be kept
waiting.”
“Why is not dinner reedy, Jans I" said Mrs.

no Carwell. “Yon know that two o’clock is the
hour that we dine at.”
“Yes, ma’am,” said Jane, “but by the clock
? it wants five minute* to two.”
L w .i The clock is too alow,” growled Mr. Car-
- “Tho clock is oo .low,” repeated Laura, in
a louder key. “Why don’t you aee to such
matters, Jane! Set the pointers along five
minutes, and be sure you never keep the din-
10 ner waiting again ”
Mr. Carwell oast a furtire glanee at his wife.
Having always been accustomed to have her
apologize whenever he found fault, and endea
vor to excuse the domestics, he hardly knew
what to make of the change. However, he
said nothing, bulled the way to the diningroom
in silence.
Jane was left in charge of the baby, and Su
san, the cook, attended on the tab's.
“Soup !" said Mr. Carwel', “Heavens ! it
is lot as fire! Soup should never be put upon
the table in such a sta’e.”
“No,” added Laura, sharply. ‘ Do you mean
to scald people, Sman? never put fire on the
table egain.”
“Ta.teless stuff, too," mu'tered Mr. Carwell,
daintily touching the spoon to his lips.
■‘lnsipid!” cried Laura, impatiently. “What
sort of a mess do you call this Susan 1 It tastes
more like the bro'h of etewed leather.”
Mr. Cerw?ll could not help smiling at the
conceit, but at the sight of Laura's long face,
hi. countenance changed immediately.
“Are you ill to-day t he a.ked,
‘‘III’ No!” replied Laura.A
“What is the matter, then
“Nothing—only things don’t go exactly
suit me.”
These being the precise words George had
hundreds of times used in answer to similar in
quiries from his wife, he paused with the spoon
midway between his mouth and plate, and
looked her full in the face in greatsurprise.
“What dues not sait youl” he asked.
“Why the same thing that does not suit you,
I suppose—the sonp.”
“The soup is not very bad aftera 11, it only
requires a little salt.”
Mr. Carn ell's humor seemed to improve
until he bad occasion to apply the carving
knife to the roast beef, when bis countenance
again changed.
“Done to a crisp !” ha exclaimed, “and
Susan knows I like my beef rare. My din
ner is entirely spoilt.”
•‘Susan!’ cried Laura, “why didn't you
burn the meat to a cinder and done with it!
You might as well put a ooal on the table, I
never—”
“Ah,” interrupted George, in a pleasant
tone, “it is net so bid as I expected, it is rare
—come to get into it.”
“So it is,” said Laura, smiling.
George seemed fore momen. diverted from
bis annoying habit, but presently he exclaim
ed, peevishly :
“What wretched potatoes 1 ihey are not fit
to eat, I never saw euch water soaked things
before. What is the reason wo can’t have
potatoes cooked better 1”
“Sure enough, why can’t we !” said Mrs.
Carwell. “Why do you pnl such heavy balls
on the table S-tsan 1 They are watery as
melons. If yoa do not know how to boil po
tatoes properly—"
“My dear," interrupted George, “I am in
clined to think it is not in the cooking. The
pots'oes were not good in the first place.”
“Why were they bought then t" demanded
Laura. “We might as well invest money in
poison parsnips. Po'atoes that are not Ct to
eat are worse than none at all. Hero Susan
take them away."
“But my dear,” cried George in a tone re
msrkably pleasant. “I think soma of them
may be good. Now here is one that is quite
mealy indeed.”
“I cant’t see any difference in them,” ob
served Ijtura, in a significant tone.
George colored very red, and found no more
fault nmil the apple pudding was brought in.
"It is spoilt 1” said he throwing himself back
io bis chair. “The crust is as heavy as lead.”
“Ileavy,” echoed Laora, “it ia like so much
grafting wax—tough and indigestible as a sad
dle. Who do you think ia going to eat that
boiled dough and chopped apples 1 Throw
it —”
“My dear, I think,” said George, in a con
ciliatory tone, “a part of ibis side of it may Le
palatable. Why it appears quite light The
ep le is very nice, and—”
“1 beg of you don't eat it to save it," replied
Laura pettishly. “Bnt it yon think yoa can
mauage to do anything with it, help your
self.”
George did help himself, and discovered
that on the whole the pudding was a very cred
itable affair, and thrice did he have occasion
to replenish his plate from the condemned
dish.
Mr. Carwell was heartilv ashamed of hav
ing renndlauir With. voni; a w u Mtnw--»~a. .
felt auch anxiety to keep Laura in good hu
mor the rest of the day, that no*, another word
of complaint escaped his lips before leaving
ths house.
At evening, however, when he cams home
to tea, his petulance had returned, and he
commenced wrh finding fault with a smell of
burnt ctusts, which invaded his nostn's.
“It is Suaan’a carelessness,” exclaimed
Laura. “What is the girl about! Jane, go
and tell her if she cannot toast the bread with
out filling ’he house with smoko the sooner—”
“I hardly think that Susan is to blame,"
interrupted George.
"Who then 1’
“I—l don’t know as anybody."
“There must be sumebady to blame, when
we are annoyed,” observed Laura, "la tea
teady Jane 1”
“Yo» ma'am,” replied Jane.
And the amiable couple proceeded to the
tea table, where the doth was spread ia a very
inviting manner-
So firmly had Georgi’a habitof fault-finding
become, thatbe complained of his tea, almost
before he tasted it.
"it’s a pity wa can’t have a good cup of tea
ocearianr/!y,” murmured Laura, knitling her
brows.
■Susan, take away these slops! Try again,
and then see if you can't mike something fit
to drink.”
And without saying "by your leave,” Laura
reached forth, took away her dear husband's
cup, and emptied its contents into the slop
bowl, at the samo time pushing the teapot to
wards Susan with a look of impatience and
dirgust.
Laura was playing her part capitally.
George became alarmed.
“Don't be too hasty, my dear,” said he,
"taste ths ten and see what ysu think of it."
• There's r.o need,” returned Laura, "1 can
take your word for it. You know what good
tea is; and when yon say the tea is bad, it is
enough. It must be bad.”
"But—”
“O, it's treeless to smooth things over.
When the tee is bad we may es well speak
plainly about it. I don’t neon to tolerate in
sipidity any longer. Do yeu hear mo. Susan!”
fiuaan was as much astonished as Sir Car
well himsell. But she sail nothing—neither
did he—although he was compelled to wail
five minutes for the return of the tea-pot.
This time, in consequence cf Susan’s haste
and confusion, the tea was really insipid, but
somehow George found it excellent. A con
ciliatory humor baa a remarkable tendency to
qnieken one’e talents for discovering imagina
ry perfections in things most poor and un
worthy.
Accordingly, George found no fault at tho
tea tables but on entering the sitting room he
I undoubtedly forgot himself, and indulged in
I hie old habit without even knowing what he
said.
"What an atmosphere!” he exclaimed.
“It’e like going into an oven. What is the
tree of keeping a room so hot!”
*'l suppose Jane meant to roast us,” added
Laura, fanning berielf violently, although the
room was not uncomfortably warm at ail.
“Throw open the door, Jane The baby,
poor thing, is cooked brown already. You
eonld bake pies here. Do give us a breath of
fresh air."
And Laura raised the window and sat down
by it, as if ahe was sn the verge of fainting.
George rsn to her in alarm, drew her away
and dos'd the wincow, staring at her as if be
d tented her insane
“You would catch yonr death eold,” bo ex
claimed impatiently. “1 he chill night wind
blows iu—”
“It is batter than roasting,” complained Mrs-
Carwell.
George bit h'ts lips bnt eaid nothing. Tho
doors were dosed, and the amiable couple did
not find themselves uncomfortable, even with
a little more fire in the grate!
For two hours George and Laura sattogeth
er, luxuriating in domer.ie peace and comfort,
and conversing in the most happy manner.
At length Laars took up a magscine to read
aloud to her husband In a dear, mus-eal
votee she read the openieg chapter of a beauti
ful and interesting sto»y, which was so pleas
antly written, that George listened so to a
charm, his features glowing with pleasure,
and his beaming eye fixed lovingly on Laura's
face.
Just as Mrs Carwell was commencing the
second chapter, the baby began to ery, filing
the house with the shrill pipings of his little
voice. Os course, Laura, ever ready to leave
everything to run to her darling efitid, and
drive its fears and troubles away with endear
ing kisses, stopped reading and started to bcr
fee'.
• What a botber!” mattered George. "It
seems to me that the child is crosser than ever
lately. It never gtvee me a minute’s peaee ”
Laura rememltered the part she was playing,
at a most fortunate moment. Dashing her
megsxine upon the table with an impatient get
tore, she knit her brows and exclaimod:
“I should think it might be quiet onee!—
Why can’t it sleep while we are enjoying our
selves ! Where ia Jane. I wonder, that she is
not here to take care of it! But Itnppose it will
always be ro Children are the plagne of mar
ried lie. W bat people marry for I dont know.
The prospects of a generation of squallin’
children re very delightful! I’ll send for a
supply cf paregoric before night, and give it as
free y ss m-lk. I wont be tormented in thia
way much longer."
i Here, tike too many actors, Laura overdid
her part It wes perhaps fortunate that so ch
’ ws» the ca-e. At first, George was prodigi
ously astonuhed at this unexaeCte ? bars’, of
- passion. Then be became ternbty frig? toned,
i believing her dangerously insane. Eat b»r
t ovaractitig was at last so apparent, that her il‘-
tnmor was no longer a asya'ery. Something
i. iu the truth Subed upon hU mind.
, “It strikes me4hat you find fault with every
thing to-day,” said he.
t “Havn’t I • t'ght to !” retorted Laura.—
“Can’t I eomplsin as well as you! I’ve left
. the duty of fault finding to yonrself long
enough. Now J am going to help you. I
i shall do my share in fature. If it is comforta
i ble for one to chaplain, it mnst be twice com
, for’able when wo are joined together. We’ll
see just how pleasant a home we can make of
this.”
Mr. Carwell burst into a roar of laugh er.
Laura, wholly nnable to sustain her part, in
which she astonished herself as well as George,
relapsed from the furious into the mirthful—
from tragedy into comedy—and laughed until
tho tears ran down her cheeks and fell upon
the face of her darling child, which all the
time ahe was ut ering her mad complaints she
bed been holding tenderly to her heart.
On the following morning at breakfast,
George praised ths buckwheat., pronounced
the beef steak dslicion., and drank an extra
cup of coffee declaring his inability to resist
the temptation of its excellent quality.
At shrimps were cooked exae ly
to his taste, and the chicken the most tender
aud savory in tho world, and all the rooms
were found to ba of the most favorable tempe
rature.
Thus things ctfntinoed three days, when Mrs.
Marron favored Laura with another call, and
inquired about the success of her plans.
■Ab,” said L»'ra Ican ntver express my
i;, ,'Getrge nas really learned
to control his temper, si 1 knew he would as
soon as he eras aware how hateful his habit of
lault-finding had become.”
Mrs. Marston was rejoiced at her friend’s
hsppir.ess; for Laura was troubled uo more
with a cross husband.
Dot 1 hope that no fault-finding hu.bands
1 who read this sketch, will impose upon theit
wives the necessity ot following Laura’s exam
pie.
Remarkable Dl»eloi«rea.--Tbe Cuban
f Invasion,
The Editor of theCincinnatti Commerciaf has
i published the following facts connected with the
! origin, merits, and motives of the late Cuban fo
’ ray as personally revealed to him. To tho en-
I qulry, which naturally arises, why has this ex
. pose been made at so late a day ; he answers in
tho last paragraph—and tho answer embraces
■ the significant avowal that the bond speculators
“will endeavor to get up another hunt
The excitement gotten up by the Invasion of Cu
ba and the melancholy end of all engaged, having
subsided for the present, it may be proper for us
to explain to our leaders the reasons which con
trolled the course taken by this paper on that sub
ject.
Previous to the fitting up of this expedition,
we were called on by prominent men engaged in
the enterprise, lor the purpose of secunng the
influence of onr columns. This led to an expo
sition on their part, of theplanof the campaign,
and tho means by which it was hoped to carry
it out. Among those we conversed with on the
snbjsct, was Gen. Hammer's son, now no more.
We nstne him, because he told E. K. Campbell
that we protested against the whole arrangemenl,
and endeavored to dissuade him from engaging
in it. There are others living with whom we
had better success, and would name were it nec
essary. The reasons that influenced us in our
position wc re that the invasion was unjustifiable,
and the plan of the campaign showed the igno
re nee of the projector.
Money was to be raised and the bonds of the
Cuban Government that was to be, have been
disposed of, it is said, to immense amounts at
ten cents on the dollar. This was to engage
the interests of speculators, and certain leading
newspapers. Leading presses throughout the
country ware to be secured, and it was thought
the others wou d be their echoes, until politicians
took up ths subject; when the moneyed interest,
the press and politicians, would force the Gov
ernment into the measures of the secret clique
which were then urging it forward, and fancy
letters were to be written to keep the ball in mo
tfon.
While these temptations were to be held out
to the money interest, the press and politicians,
the officers who would engage in the specult tlon,
were to resolve sugar and cotlee plantations, with
the slaves on them.
The method by which these plantations and
slaves ware to be obtained was to confiscate the
property of all thoCabansnho did not join in
tho enterprise. While these princely offers were
made to officers, the soldiers were to receive five
thousand dollars, and all supposed degra
ded enough to listen to such propositions
were promised the smiles and gratulations of
the Creole girls,
The plan of the campaign, as laid down to us
was, from eight thousand to fifteen thousand men
from the United States were to land some fifteen
miks from Puerts Principe, where there are ma
ny bays and inlets to shelter vessels not only
f. -m storms but from observation. Why the

officers of the Spanish navy on ths West India
station to bs feared, were in the interest of the
patriotsand in their pay. Little was said about
any reliance placed on tho inhabitants of the
island joining the liberators.
To these plans we objected, because we
thought them foolish in the extreme, and urged
what every well infi rmsd man knows t utS, aln,
like England, and every other|mwiatchlcai nation,
sends the troops of the mother country! to serve
tn a distant province, whete they have no sympa
thy with the inhabitants, and the troops rais
ed in the provinces are taken to the mother
country to protect the throne ; that the officers
of the Spanish fleet on tho West India station
were from Spain, and could hot be expected to
sympathise with the Cuban, r conaaqucntly, If
the leaders of the enterprise were In correspon
dence with the officers cf the fleets and armies
of Spain, they ceriainly would ba betrayed, and
that tne Cuban government had spies in every
considerable ci-.y of the Union, and was well in
formed of ’heir movements.
We to.d those of the patriots who conversed
with us, tiiattb.egovernmcntof the United States
wott’d not suffer an army to organlie in our
territory to Invade that of a friendly nation ;
tj which i' was replied that Hie men would go
in small detachments, the first detachment to
lake a strong position on the mountain which
approaches within a few miles of Pserto Prin
cipe, where they might cover the landing of
their friends. We replied to this, that|the Span
irh army InCuba would cut ofi the detachments
in detail before it would be possible lor them to
concentrate, and that no quarters could be ex
pected by prisoners, because as soon as men left
the United States for the purpose of invading a
country at peace with us, they renounced their
allegiance, and the Captain General of Cuba
had proclaimed that all taken in such an enter
prise should receive no quarter.
To thia it was replied severally, “I know it,
and will ask no quarters ;*’ ‘our motto is victo
ry or death ' Our course on this question is
known. *

to be found in most other papers. The editor re
fused to sell the blood of his fellow citlxens,

tail these particulars were it not that the holders

Thx Stxtx Roab Macriwx S«or. —For
sems time we nave been bearing that it was
enteu plated to movo the Machine shop of
ths State Road from this pises to Adairsville,
butwa did not baiieva till a few days since that
sued an unwise and ruinous project would be
esrtied into effect without the knowledge or
consent of the people ol tho Blate.
We learn, however, that the Chief has not
only talked of such a thing, but has actually
invested tho money of the State in this unwise
and hurtful scheme. He baa made all necessary
conttac's, and the building isaelually going up.
What object be could have in view, in making
this great outlay of monsy, at a time when tbs
road is almost, wreak, without th. necessary
cars and other eqn p men's,to the business
of the road, we know not; but whether it be
to benefit some political friends, or from mis
token poliey, prudence should have dio*ated to
him the propriety of leaving so important a
step to ’he judgment of the country, mire
especially when be knew that the people of the
Stale irrespective of party had condemned his
administration of the affairs of the road in al
most every move which ba has made. It
would base been but right, when he saw the
band writing upon the wall, pointing with un
erring certainty to tho near approach of the
termination of bis connection w; h the road, to
have left to bis sucetMors the responsibility of
such a step, and paid more attention to minor
matters of more immediate interest to the peo
ple of the State, and the success of the busi
ness of the road. The money and the time
spent in erentiog new buildings and removing
the Machinery to Adairsviile, would have re
paired be road itself, so as to eave the wreck
of many a car, and perhaps prevent the sacn
fiee of many a life.

great of even's it rapidly bringing on the pe
" ried when from our position on the shores of
11 the Pacific we shall confront the nations «f the
| East, with their innumerable populations, and
1 hold towards them similar relations to those
with which we are now connected with Eu
'* rope. The Indies, China, Japan, must soon
become as familiar to cur commerce as England,
1 France and Germany are now.
The American people are not regarded usu-
* ally as being too diffident: the burden of
1 charges against us rests the other way. Yet it
* is not to be denied that up to thia moment we
* have not risen to the full measure of that ap-
' preciation of ourselves, of our position and of
1 its responsibilities, that is justly applicable and
1 which we cannot disparage or depreciate with*
1 out an abandonment of duty. Such a nation
as this Republic is, cannot live in the family of
nations without taking her part in the affairs
of the world—a part, too, commensurate with
her dignity, her power, her destiny. We
must rule whether we will or no—or else ab
negate our rights and confess cursclves craven.
As the national representative, the only rep
resentative we may say, of free institutions, and
of the capacity of man to be great without the
need of the decorations of orders and titles
bestowed by one man upon other men, or de
creed by acts of Parliament or hereditary
transmission, we cannot shrink frein the obli
gations which our attitude involves. We stand
as a living rebuke to menarchiCal and aristo
cratical systems, as those eyatems exist else
where, and we cannot help it, if we aro to
stand at all.
It is not that we are to be aggressive.? Com
merce and the Aris are our hand-maidens;
and over them we ere to held the invincible
shield, and, if need be, the fiery sword of re
publican valor. 11 is simply for us to hold our
ir own; to vindicate the reality of our position,
i- and to make the force of our existence felt
whereroever the influence of its sphere shall
extend. Knowing no masters, the recogniiion
“ of our supremacy will come as a matt<r of
course; it will pass into the world's conscions
e nets like a law of nature and be as little dix.
e puted.
i- We began to 'peak of the commerce of the
. Pacific, and it was our purpose to allude, in
. that connectiou, to the projected line of rail
way intended to unite the Valley of the Mis
11 sissippi with the pors of the Wes'ern Ocean,
s Now whether this great work is to be accom
s plished now. by the aid of the Government di
rectly applied to it, or whether it is to bo left to
move along as population advances westward
' by, and to make progress ty sections, from
, time to time, the conclusion is certain and must
be apparent to every mind, that the road is to
. be made. To what better purpose tlie publ’c
lands could be appropriated than to the con
, struction of this work, according to Mr. B n
-1 ton's plan, which we must think the most ra
'■ tional and statesmanlike of any yet proposed
—to what better purpose than this the public
1 domain could be appropriated we are at a loss
to conjecture. If at this moment every acre
of nat oc*! territory helonriug to the Govern
i mont could be exchanged for a complete rail
road from fi Louis to San Francisco, who
will deny that a good bargain would be had.?
To render fully available the resources of
the Pacific trade an overland communication
from the Pacific to the Atlantic is Indispensa
ble. There may be as many routes by rail
road or canal across the isthmus, at various
points, as there are means and facilities for
opening them. But nothing can obviate the
necessity of an overland line across ths body
of this continent, in accordant e with the cur
rents of trade running between the commer
cial capitals of the world. We muit have this
connection if we would hold control over the
trade of Asia and of Europe, keep it within
our limits and derive the profits of it. And in
view of its lucrat ve ca'uto and of its vast
ne s, all the commercial history of past ages
may hide its head and disappear from compa
rison.—Baltimore American.

Obarse Wist.—We have been told by re

that may rightfully assume the above title. It
is made of the juice of the wild cr sour
orange, and has been pronounced by “good
judges” to be worthy the gourmet’s patronage.
The wild or bitter orange is firt deprived of
its juice by strong pressure on large q lantities
of the fruit; the juice is put into barrels,
’ closed up, and allowed to foment lor a few
1 mouths. By thia process it loses its bi ter taste
1 and becomes clear and limpid. It is then bot
tled, a wine glass full of old cognac being
I poured into each bottle, together with a small
| qjanity of sugar. The liquid thus formed is
| not a cordial or bjutar, but appertains special
, iy to the class of wines.
, The bi-ter orange abounds on almost every
plantation in the state. It baa hitherto been
J regarded as an almost useless product, except
r now and then when necevei y compelled i'.to re
place the lemon, it was but an indifferent
substitute, however. Anew field of industry

The daily expected arrival in this country of
f thia distinguished patriot imparts fresh interest
j to everything connected with his movements.
5 The Newark Advertiser has the following let
- ter from its American correspondent, dated
1 r Gewoa, 3ept. 21, 1851.
» Kossuth is free ! and the United States has
the honor of bearing him, with his family and
• companions, to a land of freedom. The steam
I frigate Mississippi, Capt. Long, arrived off
t Spezzia, in thia Kingdom, yesterday, from
1 Constantinople, whence she sailed on the llih,
_ them all, save two or three exiles who
where to go direct to England, on board. The
illustrious Hungarian leader has his wife and
three sons with him, and they are handsomely
accommodated in well fitted apartments on
board the steamer. The quarantine lawswill
not permit passengers coming from the Levant
to land immediately, so that the steamer will
proceed immediately on her way to America,
after taking in stores from the Naval Depot at
Spezzia, which, by the liberality of the Sar
dinian government, is placed to the use of our
Mediterranean Squadron. Before the end of
October, therefore, you will have the happi
ness of greeting ihe exiles in the IT. States.
Austria made every possible effort to pro
vent their release, but the Sublimo Porte re
mained firm to his promise, Fnd they were ac
cordingly permitted to loave Kuiajah on the
Ist, and were taken by a Turkish war steamer
from the port o f Gimoleck to the Dardanelles,
where the Mississippi and Mr. Marsh, lheAme
ncan Minister—who had just returned from a
visit to Syria and Egypt—were awaiting them.
Much credit is due to Sir Stratford Canning,
the British Minister in Constantinople, and the
Diplomatic Minister of Sardinia, for their in
defatigable exertions in behalf of the exiles.—
, The former functionary is understood to be
t the most influential person at the Court of the
I Sultan, and British Diplomacy is happily just
i now exerted throughout Europe in favor of
f the right cause.
Kossuth —The London Daily News, re
. ceived by the last steamer, has the following
article:
i ( Ihe most striking feature in Kossuth’s po
i litical life is the smallness of the means emplov
• od by him, and his wonderful success He
had but his pen and tongue in the midst of a
Country of which by no means the whole pop
uiation sympathized with his ideas of Magyar
■ independence. Like O'Connell, be found the
oppression of his country heavy, and when
none entertained hope but himself, he under
took the task, devoted himself with the resolve
never to flinch from it. O'Connell, however,
had a fair field to manceuvre in. Whilst the
Austrians were able to gag Kossuth’s tongue
m public, and prohibit the press from spread
mg the productions of his pen, O'Conrtfl had
all the aids of publicity, and all the advantages
of association. The Irish patriot was embol
dened by the degree of freedom, and the rights
already granted to his country to assume the
offensive, and to conquer the rest. Kossuth
contented himself for the most part, with re
m-.inmg on the defensive, and could he have
upheld the constitutional monarchy, would
l ave decided not »o advance or to transgress
ths bur. ds es a not very liberal law and con
slitu'ion
But the Austrian Cabinet, under Metter
nicn, was not con'ent with leaving Hungary as
it was. Its constant effort was to sap the inde
pendence of Hungary, nullify its representa
tive sys’em and centralise its administration.—
Schwarzenberg himself has done nothing more
audacious than was attempted by the old Aus
trian Government, when it sought to replace
the local authority of the Hungarian comitat
by a prefect, such as the French Emperor or
the Russian Czar might appoint.
Against this Kossuth struggled with the in
veteracy and pertinacity of O’Connell. And
when Austria sought to manage the comitat*, or
electoral districts, by preventing the debates of
the Diet from being published, and at the same
time preventing the press from appearing,
Kossuth actually undertook to inform each
comitat of what was passing by means of his
pen, and without the public intervention of
the press.
It has been the aim nf Austria, and of the
scribes whom it has inspired, to represent
Kossuth as a leader of mere democracy, as a
republican of the French school. Never
was there a more unfounded charge. The
struggle in Hungary was for constitutional
government against absolutism; for a con
stitution with a King of the House of Haps
burg, if possible; but prepared to reject even
the hereditary House of Hapsburg, if it re
solved to abolish the liberties and the Diet of
Hungary. Const’tntionalists are surely free
to become Republicans in countries where j
-ttfc' tmn'stry who represent it',' resolved "tt»aWf
the restoration of the monarchy, not. wi**“* I
constitution, as they might have done, and in
the support of which they might have made
ample use of Kossuth andol Hungary—when
th.'y resolved on a recovery of absolute pow
er by military violence, then indeed did
Kossuth not shrink from meeting the arms ol
ths Austrian empire by the levy of the Mag
yars. What hardihood it required to take that
step, what eloquence to precipitate the nation
al mind into the struggle, what skill to organ
ize military resistance, as well as financial
moans of supporting it, passes the bounds of
an article to show. Sullies it tha' the armies
of Austria, led bv a veteran general, were
first baffled and then defeated, an 1 driven back
to the gates of Vienna in a sitig'e campaign.
The intervention of Russia, with an army
of 160,000 men in support of the recruited
forces of Austria, reversed the chance of war
in the second campaign. And yet, even at the
head of 180,000 men, the Czar had recourse
to bribery and intrigue, literally buying the
general to whom Kossuth had confided the
chief army of Hungary, into most manifest
acts of treachery and surrender. It la no
shame to have succumbed under such fearful
odds, and under the united absolutism of
Europe. Nor can tho succumbing be even
said to be final, in the face of the grand ex
periment,so manfully proved, that Hungary
was more than a match for Austria, and in
single-handed fight had beaten and disgraced
the /Austrian armies.
Never in any country did a champion of
freedom display grea'er talents, greater consis
tency, greater courage and perseverance, than
Louis Kossuth. Never did any work grea'er
wonders ; never, in sinking under the most
powerful league that ever was formed of
tyranny, did man have such elements of resis
tance behind him, ready to rise up for the old
cause at the first conjuncture. With their
conquest the Austrians have been able to do
nothing. They cannot govern Hungary,
cannot pacify it. The richest province in the
Austrian empire, it does nut now pay the ex
pense of keeping it. So stubbornly inimical
o Austria remains the population, that they
have oven ceased to consume tobacco and
other exciseable articles, la■ t they should con
tribute revenue to their oppressors. No won
der that the court of Vienna trembles at the
liberation, and at the very name of Kossuth.
Another cause of enhancement to tho repu
ta'.ion of Kossuth is, that in an age of revolu
tion he stauls unrivalled for all the qualities
that distinguish man in that trying period.
Germany has gone through a political crisis,
which stirred its population from their depths.
Yet Germany has not produced a statesman,
or aso dier, cr even a democrat of mark.
She is as barren of individual capacity or emi
nence as France. In fact, if we regard the
continent of Europe, we cannot dercry one
single star in its firmament save the solitary
one of Kossuth.
Tax Plastsrs’ CosvEVTiotr at Macok.—
We understand,says the Southern Press, that
Mr. Baylor, our consul for Amsterdam, and
wt ois in th : s country on leave of temporary
absence, will attend the Macon Convention of
Planters on the 27th, and that ho is authorized
by merchants and capitalists of Amsterdam to
tender to Southern planters and merchants
ample cash advances, at a low rate of in’erest,
on direct shipments of cotton to that port, and
also to guarantee at least the market prices of
Liverpool.
We think this affords an excellent opportu
nity for the estab irhment of a direct trade be
tween the Southern ports ard those of conti
uental Europe. It is the interest and policy
of the Bouth to decentralize the cotton trade—
to diffuse it over the various markets of Eu
rope, and to avert as much as yoss-ble the costs
and charges of need ess transhipments.
It is peculiarly important in another aspect.
England has, of late years, given a good deal
of aid and co nfort to abolition. Her We-t In
dia policy proves her antagonism to African
slavery, and her intervention in Cuba shows it
■till more, to say nothing of the m nay actually
remitted by her antt-siavery societies, to pro
mote abolition in this country. Hence it be
comes important for the Sou'h to foster the
cotton manufacture of the continent of Eu
rope. so as net to be dependent either on Old
or New England. If the Amsterdam mer
chants will afford equal facilities to cotton pro
ducers and cotton planters, let Amsterdam have
the preference to tl.e extent of her demand for
her own and her interior consumption. —Sa-

f to his Excellency, who, in acknowledging the com

We have in the United States a very large Irish
’ population, nativ-s of the Emerald Isle and the de
scendant of Irishmen, now inhabiting the country
' which 1 have the honor to represent; and 1 beg here
to say that, generally speaking, they are persons of a

I great resources of the vast country which they in
t habit. [Loud cheers.] 1 think I know the charac*

whether in Ireland or the United States, for Irishmen,
i [Cheers.] I must say here, in justice to the Irish
. population in the United States, that generally—not
always, but generally—they have made goo I and
. valuable citizens. [Cheers.] I have ccme to your
country, believing it to be my duty to do so, repre
sentrng, as I do, a very large body of persons who
were bred and bcm i:j Ireland. [Hear, bear.] I
came not here from idle curio. l ity, tut • came to lick
at the physical f rmation of the comary.and particu
larly wt ns people. I wanted..to s_e wth ?oy rvrn
i eyes what has so cSe'n been represented by the
pre?s, the condition of Ireland; and eo for u« I have
travelled, which is a very abort space indeed, I have
eeen nothing in the condition and appearance of the
country that should not indicate, and does not indi
cate, that man i 3 as well here as in any other coun
try. I cannot, gentlemen, discuss your political,
religious or social condition; it would not become me
to touch on any of these points, but I have the great
est desire and the strongest wish to see Ireland in
such a state of prosperity that she ean retain on her

0 out sending abroad so large a portion of her popula

- The United States are open to the people of al

men, woman end child in Ireland to read and write,
if possible. Give the people universal education—
and I beg to be understood cn this point—living in a

government ot the people, and from the people, our
only security lies in universal education, founded on

amid loud and longcontinued applause.
Claiming ths Hosoas.—lt appeare that re
cent discoveries in the Arctic regions, which
are claimed by British navigators, and to which
British names are given, have been first made
by citizens of tho United States, and that the
honor of these discoveries truly and properly be
long to our own countrymen. The matter is
thus act forth in the New York Journal of Com
merce t
The Arctic discoveries made through the en
terprise of the British nation, have extended
the bounds of science, added to the sum of hu
man knowledge, and conferred honor on the
British name. Northern geography receives an
annual contribution from the ardent and noble
men who are sent on expeditions to the Polar
seas, and the British Navy is strengthened by
the discipline, and elevated by the studies and
acquirements which appertain to that naviga
tion. Tho late expedition sent from England
uncer the command of Capt. Penny proceeded
in a northerly direction from Barrow's strait,
beyond the limits reached by any other Brdish
navigator, and although Capt. Penny’s return
to England was as late as September of .h'v
year, the maps showing the extent of their . jp
pr sed discoveries have already been given to the
tion. Penny and Austin undoubtedly supposed
that they were the first discoverers of '.he land
and waters to which ;hey gave a name and a
location on British maps. The Grinnell expedi
tion preceded them, however, one season in
theso.discoveries; and to America is due the
honor which Great Britain has attempted so
gracefully to wear. On the return of the Ad
vance to this port, tidings were for the first time
had of the results of Penny’s voyage; but be
fore the Advance had reached her berth, and be
fore those tidings were received, the maps show
ing the discoveries madobylhe American ves
sels beyond Wellington's channel, had been ex
hibite.i to ih-> originator ol the enterprise. Wc
did not t-peak of t ie discoveries, beeat. re they had
not ben reported io tho heal ot the Department
at Washington, in pursuance of the practice
prevailing among Navy officers, and they bad
been communicated in that confidence. The
British Government need only to know these
facts in order to induce them to erase from their
maps thenarr.ee which they have so applied to
these frozen regions, and substitute those given
by the American navigators. The British name
given to an extensive range of land lying to the
U otl , h °f Wellington Channel, is the “Albert
Land,” in honor ot Prince Albert. The name
given by the American discoverers t o the same
range was in honor of Henry Grinnell, the au
thor of the American expedition. The honors
and the natioral rights that flow from a discov
ery of new regions of country, are euch that
nations never part from, except on the most in
cantestible proof cf the authenticity of a prece
dent claim. The Grinnel expedition will have
no difficulty In ehoaing the extent and the limo
ol their discoveries, and their precedence over
those of Great Britain, and will thus be able to
settle the question fully. They have won those
honors for their country.
Canlion to Land Buyers and Ownert-
The Surveyor General has handed tho follow
ing statement to the Federal Union s
There are gangs of larks prowling about tho
country that have a wonderlul faculty of know
ing the owners of vacant lots of land, which
have been sought after. Application is soon
made to the propct officers for copy plats and
grantsof these lots, and after a time one of the
party appears in tho neighborhood with a plat
and grant and chain of titles, and effects a sale.
Judging from the very many copy grants ob
tained, a smsehing business 13 carried on through
out the ataio. A gentleman tint was swindled
by them, presented Ilia plat and grant to the
Surveyor General to know if it wasger.nine.
In appcaranc e it was so very old, that ihe elg
natu.-e of all the officers were gone, and fully
two tltiros of the seal; indeed, from its ancient
appearance, the platand grant looked as if it had
been left a legacy to their grandmother. Yet
the Surveyor is sure he issued it not three months
since.
The chain of titles, too, bore marks of great
antiquity, but the Justice of the Pe ce who wit
nessed it must have been commissioned for the
occasion—as a reference to the proper record
showed no such men to have held office at the
time.
One flock of these Hirde, it is reported, have
their roost in Fayetteor DrKalbcounty.
Land owners would do well to have an eye to
their property—for in seven years, the magic
wand of the buprerne Court, more than that of
the Fairy, converts these shadows into realities.
A Steam Fli*t.—On Saturday a fleet of
seven first-class steamships sailed from New
York, viz: the United States mail steamer
‘Baltic,” for Liverpool; the British Iron steam
er ■ Glasgow,’ for G'asgow; ths United States
mail steamer ' Empire City.’ for Havana; the
‘ Florida,’ for Savannah ; and the ‘ Roanoke’
and the ‘ City of Richmond ’ for Richmond.
Since Tuesday last the following steamers
have sailed from New York, in addition to
those which left on Saturday, making twelve
in all;—' Africa for Liverpool; ‘Merlin,’ for
Bermuda: ' Prometheus,’ for Ban Juan de
Nicaragua; “Cherokee,” for Chegres ;
' Winfield Scott,’ for New Orleans; and
‘ Southerner,’ for Charleston. The departure
of sa large a number of ocean steamers is
so short a space of time, goes to show conclu
sively the rapidity with wbieb this mode of
conveyance is superse 'ing the sai ing craft.
The time seems to be not far distant when
steam wi’l be the only coe of propulsion used,
except in very long voyages.
Eschew Szalisg Wax.—The National In
tel) gencer says:
Our Governmental Departments have re
ceived eflieial information from San Francisco
that letters frequently reach there with the
envelopes partly torn off, and the address mu
tilated, in consequence of the practice of using
aealing-wsx to secure the envelopes.
In passing through the tropics the wax is in
variably melted so as to destroy all semblance
of a seal, and not unfrcqiently eo as to adhere
to the >etter hsneath ,t, sn.d cause the injury or
destruction of the address in separating the
two.
The Postmaster General therefore recom
mends to all persons having ccirr«-spocdeocc
wi.r. Ca'ffornia, and o her par s of the coast of
the Pacific Ocean, to dieocntii <te the use oi
wax in sealing their tellers or other papers,
A Notable Cottos Fact.—A return recently
issued, says the Mobile Rseister, of the quanti
ties of cotton imported into England, presente
some remarkable totals. In 1850 the imports
from the United States were 491,153,112 lbs.,
while in 1849 they had been 634,504,050 lbs.
On the other hand,the imports from the East In
dies were 118,872,742 ibs., in 1850, the total in
1819 having been only 70,838,515. Thue, while
the quantity imported from the East Indies in
1849 waaequai to nearly 11 per cent., of that Im
ported from the United States, in 1850 it was
equal to near!) 25 per cent. The importation o(
cotton from all pons isat year was 663,576,861
lbs against 755,469,012 Iks. in 1849. It also ap
pears from the same return that the declared val
uecf the English total exports to ihe United
’ States was £11,971 028 in 1849, and £14,801,951
in 1850. As the value of the exports to all the

It ia the pleasure of the vanquished to growl,
and it (earns to bo their determination
slander the overwhelming majority, which has
so triomphantly sustained the proud and lofty
position assented by the Convention of last
year. These slanders can hurt nobody. They
are the poor and contemptible ebullitions of a
disappointed faction, and emanate from a
spirit at war with the interests, the integrity
and the exiatenoe of the Union. Their au

hereafter, learn that the “deluded" people are
fully able to take care of themselves, and curb
the wild and reckless madness of men intent
on the destruction of every thing dear to the
patriot’s heart.
Georgia has now re-asserted her claim to ba
considered the empire State of the South, and
no groundless charges of abandoning the rights

Alabama Mabufactubis.—We were pre
sent yesterday, with a number of others,
at the exhibition of the bea.tifui prize Engine,
constructed at the Montgomery Msnufactuiing
Company’s Works, and designed for .he com
ing Fair at Macon, Ga. This is the seventy
seventh Steam Engine manufactured at thia
extensive and enterprising establishment with
in the last two years, in addition to a vast
..mount of heavy forging and casting, in every
variety of iron work—the power of its ma
chinery and fixtures, and skill of its artificers,
enabling it to accomplish all descriptions of
iron and brass casting, in a superior style,
from the heaviest reamboat shafts, mill wheels,
and engines of a ICO horse power, to tho most
dehca e ornamental work known to the ait.
The Engine referred 'o, intended tor the Fair,
is about forty-horse power, and is constructed
(the iron part) wholly of Alabama iron. The
heavy castings are from m»st exquisitely
wronght pstterns, and the general finish, polish
and accuracy ol the mtehtno unsurpassed by
any work of the kind we have seen. The
ornamental work is it: rood taste, and most
elaborately finished. It is in all respects a
most beautiful and admirable specimen of the
art, ana dereives ai d we trust will receive,
the premium. We he. eno idea that it can be
excelled in any quarter.
The Montgomery Manufacturing Company
is organized wi h a capital of s2so,ooo—em
ploys one hun-’teu and fifty workmen, and
