Owe Vacant Chain.—W t were talking a firw days
aince Kith aaentewn»d friend of ours, who was
and with whom “Thanksgiving,” as a matter of
course, is an institution, a day of family rennion,
of domestic and social rejoicing. He is a man of
noble sympathies and a big heart. In speaking of
the coming Thanksgiving day a cloud passed over
his features, and a tear gathered in his eye. “I
have," said ho, “for many years gathered my fami
ly around me on that day. * All my children have
sat with me at my annua) feast, and it never oc
curred to mo that it could ever beotherwiso. We
ate, drank, and were merry, without thinking that
a change must one day come. Butthat change has
already come. At our annual banquet this year
there will be one vacant chair." »
It was a sad, sad thought. Sorrowful memories
come clustering around the heart at the mention of
that “one vacant chair.” The pleasant features,
the happy smile, the cheerful voice of the loved
and the lost come like a vision of sweetness from
the sorrowful past. The pale still face, the mar
ble brow, decked with the garlands of the grave,
follow, and the eye dims with tears as the vision
vanishes away, aud the palpable presenoe only is
left of that “ one vacant chair.”
And so it is, and so it will be always. Year by
year thoßO that wo love drop from around ns.
Some are snatched away by death , going down in
the bloom of their beauty to the city of the dead.
Some swing out into the great world, andare borne
by the currents of life far away from us. The day
of annual reunion comes; we gather around the
yearly banquet, we look for the cherished faces,
we listen for the loved voices; but the heart swells,
and the big tear trembles on the eyelids, Cor there,
in tM midst of that cherished circle, in the very
place where one who nestled fondlieat in our affec
tions used to sit, is “one vacant chair.”
We who Bit at the head of these family feasts
should not forget t iat ododay w« shall beabsent
from the banquet. The time will surely come
when wo shall cease to occupy a place there. We
know not wbon the vacancy may occur, but as sure
ly as time rolls on, as surely as human destiny is
sweeping onward and onward, always towards
eternity, so surely will tha day of our departure
come; and struggle aa we may, resist as we may,
as all the aggregated energies of nature may, we
must pass from among the living, and leave behind
us for the uext gathering “one vacant chair."—Al

Mrs. Paul Part'ngton, the amiable and senten
tious widsw, who9o chosen chronicler is the Boston
Post, was walking down Washington street, a few
days ago, with berbelovod nephew Ike, when they
were passed by a volunteer soldier man belonging
to one ot the Boston companios, and arrayed iu ail
the pride of gold lueo and fatcy fixings, step pin?
off as it tho wholo dignity of the Massachusetts
volunteer militia was centred upon him. Ike was
a warm admirer of tho military, and already at
times aspires to wear certain remainders of the
ancient corporal's uniform that time lias spared.
“See there,’’ said he, oatcliing the old lady by tho
shawl, and half pulling it from her back in hie
earnestness, “does that sodger look anything like
ancle Paul t” Suoh a look as she gave him I “No,
dear,” replied sho sublimely, “he is no more like
your uncle than Bogle’s hyporion fluid is like a

Washington’s Teachers. —Washington had but
two teachers, one an old fellow named Hobby, one
of his father’s tonautß, sexton as well as school
master of the neighborhood, who ÜBed to boast,
aftor ho was superannuated and Bomewhat addict
ed to strong potations, especially on the Goneral’s
birthdays, that it was he who, between his knees,
had laid the foundation of George Washington’s
gioatncvs, by teaching him his letters; and the
other,,the Mr. Williams already mentioned, who
was, according to JL\ We-ine, “ a capital hand"
at reading, spelling, English grammar,arithwatic,
surveying, book-keeping, and gcorgraphy, and "f
--ten boasted that he had made George Washington
as great a scholar as himself. Wo cannot doubt
that to his thoroughness in teaching what he di I
know, his great pupil owed much of his acquired
power; for a good foundation in a few important
things is the best possible beginning for a boy of
of ability and enterprise.— Mrs. Kirkland.
Tver's Magneto Electric) Railway Signals.—
Yesterday a private meeting, over which the Lord
Mayor presidod, was held at the London Tavern
in order to hear from the inventor of these new
railway signals an explanation of them. Mr. Tyer
proposes, oy tho agency of voltaic eleetrieity, to
accomplish the following objects:—l. That tho
train itself, upon entering any station, shall give
notice to the station it last left that the line so far
is clear. 2. That, upon quitting a station, the train
igiall transmit a signal to the next station in ad-
TOiieo, directing attention thereto by sounding a
Sell. 8. The transmission of signals from any in-
Srmediuto point between stations, so that an alarm
''in be given, and assistance obtained, in the event
,4f a break down, or other stoppage of the line. 4.
That the onginoniau may be signalled from the
station he is approaching at any distance deemed
requisite, auxiliary siguais and fog detonators be
ing thus rendered unnecessary.
The inventor proposes to arrest the attention of
the driver by causing bis apparatus to sound the
steam whistle; ond his plan of signals includes a
selfacting register, kept at each stution, of the ex
act signals received, lie believes that his inven
tion would be found valuable not only at stations,
but also at junctions, tunnels, level crossings,
watchmen’s boxes, in shutting trains, and in other
omergoneios. These various objects are mainly
accomplished by tho introduction of two contri
vances—the one for establishing communication
from the train to the stations on either side of it,
theothor for signalling from tho station to tho dri
ver of an approaching train. Tho first contrivance
consists of a trcddlo spring, which pressed by the
flanges of tho carriage wheels in their passage over
it, aud establishing thoreby an intermittent circuit
of electricity tliAugh tho wire extending to the
station, sounds a bell and moves an index on a
dial plate there, so as to give the reqnirod signal
both to the eye and the ear. The second contri
vance is a pair of brass plates, forming double in
clined planes, about 6 feet long, aud fixed upon
the rails, so that metal springs beneath the frame
of the ougiue come in contaot with them, when
the voltaic circuit is again completed, and signals
at once indioated to the driver by an index on his
locomotive, by the sounding of his whistle, or
even by cutting off steam.
The whole apparatus can be applied at any re
quired point between stations: can be applied to
the existing lines of telegraph, and possesses the
advsntage of being self acting. Roughly estima
ted, tho cost for oaeh set is stated at from £SO to
£6O, and Mr. Tyor says that bis arrangement of
treddlos has been satisfactorily tested on the South
Eastern line, and that of signalling tie, driver on
the Croydon. His explanations to the meeting yes
terday were well illustrated by working models,
and at a time when the best in ans for preventing
railway accidents are regarded with such general
interest, this plan of guarding against some of the
moetlruitful causesofthmn will, no doubt,receive
all the consideration to which it is entitled. The
electric telegraph presents facilities for promoting
the saioty of railway traveling, as great, if not
greater, than any other agency, and these have
hitherto beeu very imperfectly developed. Mr.
Tyor is, therefore, working in the right direction,
but whether his plan can bo advantageously adopt
ed can onlybe decided by experience of its merits.

Tub Love or Monet.—ln the catechism of the
Nineteenth Century, says Hiram Fuller, the true
answer to the question, “What ia the chief end of
man t ” should ba— Monet. When one pauses to
reflect upon this universal scramble after “the
root of alt evil,” the monoy-mania of the day be
comes a sort of miraculous phenomenon. It seems
to ba the tutnmum bonum of human existence—
the ultima thuU of human effort. Men work for
it, fight for it, beg for it, steal for it, starve lor it,
preach for it, lie for it, live for it, and die for it.
And all the while, from the cradle to the grave,
nature and God are ever thundering in our ears
the column question—“ What shall it profit a man
to gain the wnoie world and lose bis own soul t”
The madness for money is and lowest
of the passions ;it is the insatiate Moloch of the
human heart, before whose remorseless altar all
the tine attributes of humanity are sacrificed. It
makes merchandise of all that is sacred in human
affectione ; and even traffics iu the awful solemni
ties of the eternal world. Fathers sell their
Daughters for Gold ; and temples dedicated to re
ligion are used as marts for the display of the
guttering temptation.
Miserly men, in the possession of great wealth,
and who pietend to love their children as the “ap
ple of their eye,” will stint them in education, in
pleasa.-e, and in health, and keep them cramped
and miserable tor lack of money, through all the
earlier and better years of their existence ; and
when Death relaxes*the old man's grasp from his
money-bags, the overwhelming'avalaoche of wealth
becomes otten a curse rather than a blessing to his
heirs. Human life at longest is but a span—a
fleeting dream—a passing apparition in the phan
tasmagoria of Time. Whet tolly to devote it to
an unscrupulous struggle for that “which periaheth

American Violets. —A correspondent of the
Louisville Journal states that there are sixty species
of the violet native to the United States, many of
which are sweet scented, and quite as showy and
beautiful as the English pausey. We have also a
native pansey, which is found growing wild on the
sandy uowns’of Long Island and in other places on
the Atlantic coast. The diminutive white violet, or
cwlit Wanda, is the sweetest of the tribe, and
should be found in every collection of odorous
flowers with the cultivated V. odorata.
Pbtol Shooting Eitraoedinabt. —A most re
markable feat at pistol shooting occured on Friday
night, at Cnllum’s Lake House, end of the new
Shell Koad, in which Capt. John Travis, of the Pis
tol Osllerv, in Common street, opposite the City
Hotel, “Bnuffed a candle twelve times successive
ly st twelve paces.
A bet of *SOO was made that he couid not do it,
bat some of the Cspt’s friesds backed him that he
could, and sure enough he “brought them out.” —
Captain Travis had no part of the bet as we under
etand.
The agreement was that any shot touching the
stem of the candle should be counted as “no shot.”
The shooter made thirteen shots—one touching the
stem. The twelve that snuffed the candle could
have been covered on the iron plate behind th*
candle, with a fifty cent piece t We call this extra
ordinary shooting.—A*. O. Pie.

ablo conspiracy of Aaron Burr, made tfcenaW of
Hermnu Blannerhasset as familiar rs a household
word to the people of this o.untry some forty years
ago. His fame misfortunes and history, embalmed
iu the gorgeous eloquence of Wirt, are still famil
iar Iq rnauy. But whilst every declamatory school
boy recites with a voice alternating from a shrili
treble to s hoarse giowlicg bass, li;e glowing cx
tract from tbe gifted orator’s famous speech upon
the occasion of Bun’s Trial, none porhups ever en
quired the fate of tho noble Iri.-hmau ufeer the
failure of Burr’s great conspiracy. When tho
treachery, hoartlessness and villany of Burr bad
destroyed poor Blanncrlmsaett’s almost Edenlike
palatial homo on the Ohio, and involved the unsus
pecting owner in his degradation and min, few
inquired his fate and subsequent history.
Herman Blauncrhassctt, all of our readers will
perhaps recollect, was the son of an Irish noble
man who emigrated to this country in 1797. Pos
sessed ot ample means ho purchased a boautifui
island on the Ohio river, and expended nearly a
hundred thousand dollars in the orection of an edi
fice remarkable lor its Aladdin beauty of decora
tions and proportions. Tim ornamental grounds
in their beauty atid floral and horticultural orna
ments, rendered Blanneiinssett’B residence an
earthsy paradise. Surrounded by all tho appli
ances of tho most refinod luxury, with a magnifi
cent library, costly furniture, superb paintings,
blessed by the society of a retiued wife aud intelli
gent children, his wealth aud prosperity excited
the admiration and envy of ad who glided by his
residence upon the waters of the Ohio. Seduced
l.y the eloquence of Burr, Bhnnorhnssett, at, un
unfortunate moment, became tno confidant of Burr
and was as that peison’a accomplice, arrested, con
veyed to Richmond, east into prison, but dis
charged, after tho acquittal of the priuci pal eouspi
rutor.
The pecuniary embarrassments of Blaunerhas
sett pressing heavily upon him, he was forced to
sell his magnificent palace and estate, and misfor
tune dogg9d his footsteps, until he died in Ireland
iu 1828, broken hearted and almost, a pauper. His
wife and only surviving son returned to New York
in the year 1831, in very reduced circumstances.—
Tho mother died many years ago, end until a lew
weeks since, tho world had forgotten the once fa
mous Blannerhassett, and his family.
Tho following history of the son of Blannerhassett
takon from a recent perfectly reliable sonree, illus
trates with melancholy force the strange and re
markable revolutions of the wheel of fortune, in
elevating the lowly, and also in crushing the chil
dren of the rich in tho mire of the Slough of De
spond.
A few charitable ladies a short time since, visit
ed tho Five Points in New York, that most horri
ble of modoru Atealias, upon an errand of mercy.
Uore among the lowest, thevi'o.t, tho most wretch
ed oi’God’s creatures, in a damp, low, unfurn: li
ed, comfortless room, they found a delicate, refin
ed looking old man, destitute of every comfort of
life, without sufficient broad or clothing, forced to
associate with tho most ruffianly and unprincipled
of the fiopulation of New York. He wus the only
child of the ouco woalthy and distipgnicuod Biiiu
nerhassett.
The son of the man who had set up merchants,
patronizod literature and tho fine arts, and been
courted and honored by thousands, who had uni
ted with Burr to conquer an empire, was found al
most starving in a oellar in the vilest portion of
New York. One alone had proved faithful to the
last otthe Bhnucrbassetta—one alone olang to tho
last spar ofa shipwrecked, brokcu, fogottcu family.
An old negro weraan, a slave of Herman Bian
nerhassett, in the days of his prosperity, who had
held young Blannerhassott in her arms, when his
father was tiie influent- gentleman and associate of
"err—waz fonnu by the f-'atiaritfts*. who visited
her master, devoting all other remaining strength
to her feeble and helpless master. Forgotten by
the world, this faithful slavo afforded to the son of
the celebrated Blannerhassstt—whatUie world bad
denied him —bread, and an liumbo rcofto protect
him from the inclemency of a Northern winter.
Whata moral does this point of the instability cod
uncertainty of worldly wealth and positiou—tho
only surviving son of Blannerhassctt, perishing
almost for want of tho necessaries ot life, in Five
Points, and supportod by the exertions of a faith

Glimpses or Royaltt.— The second volume of
Lord Holland’s “Momoirs of the Whig Tarty dar
ing my Time,” is reviewed in the'London Atlie
nainm. That journal says of it:
“In the nature of its contents, tho second volume
of Lord Holland’s ‘Memoirs of tbe Whig Party’
resembles the fftst—but it is more ‘historical,’ and
less gossippiug. It contains passages of better
writing than the former volume, and it lets us
more into the Becrots of tbe Whig party.”
Os Queen Caroline, of Brunswick, the unfortu
nate wife of Georgo IV., Lord Holland says :
“And yet, whatever may bo thought of tho treat
ment to which she was exposed on her arrival in
England, or of tbe maliguity, and possibly the
falsehood, of some of the charges subsequently
brought against her, or of the somowhat vindictive
persecution of her when Queen—she was at best
a strange woman, and a vory sorry uninteroat
ing heroine. She had, thoy say, sdme taier.t, some
pleasantry, somo good-humor, and groat spirit and
courage. But she was utterly destitute of all io
male delicacy, and exhibited in the whole course of
the transactions relating to herself very little feel
ing for anybody, and very little regard for honor
or truth, or even for the interests iff those who
were devoted to her, whether tho people in the
agurt gate, or the individuals who enthusiastically
espoused her cause. She avowei her dislike of
many; she aoareely concealed her contempt for all.
In short, to speak plainly, if not mad, sho was a
very worthless woman.”
Lord Holland’s now volume, liko his first, does
not, in its revelations, piace royalty in tho most
creditable light. Here wo have an account of
Georga IV., drunk at the ceremony of his mar
riage :
“Ho confessed to the Duke of Bedford, who
attended, that ha had swallowed several glasses of
brandy, to enuble him to go through the ceremo
ny; and the Duke observed, in relating the fact,
that he had taken so many, that it had nearly dis
qualified him from doing so—he ftho Duke) could
scarcely support him from falling.”
This statement of Lord Holland, who is chargod
by some with drawing a long bow, is further con
firmed uy tbe following:
“Extract ofa letter from John, Duke of Bedford,
dated Woburn Abbey, August, 8, 1836: ‘ily
brother was one of the ttyo unmarried Dukes who
supported the Prince at the ceremony, and ho had
need of his support; for my brother told me that
the Prince was so drunk that he could scarcely
prevent him from falling. He told my brolho
he had drunk several glasses of brandy to enable
him to go through the ceremony. There is no
doubt but it was a compulsory marriugo.”
The Properties of Tea.— A writer in Black
wood’s Magazine, in a lengthy article on “The Bev
erages,” writes as follows on tea: —
The peculiar effects of ton upon tho system—its
exhilarating but non-intoxicating properties—are
due to three chemical substances: an aromatic,
volatilo oil—a slightly bitter principle, rich iu ni
trogen—and tannin or tanic acid. Its odoriferous
volatile ingredients do not exist in the natural leaf,
but are produced in drying and preparing it. And
this is true also of tho coffees and tee cocoas. All
are nearly void of taste and smell in their natural
state; while all are highly flavored and aromatic
when ased, deriving these properties from chemi
cal substances produced within them by processes
of drying and roasting. An equally singnlar stet
haa also been ascertained, and as equally irne of
all our usual infused beverages, viz:’tbat tho pe
culiar nitrogen-containing principle which they
hold in solution, lessens the natural wear and tear
of the body, and thus to a certain extent saves
food. *
Another interesting and singular fact connected
, with the subject is, that the tea leaf contains a very
large proportion of gluten, a nutritious ingredient
of plants. This substance forms one-fourth part
. of their weight in leaves, and were they palatable,
. so that we could eat them in a mass, as wa do the
cocoa, tea leaves would be nearly as nutritions t.i
1 beans or peas, and more strength-sustaining than
1 wheat.
Tbk Destint of China. —Dr. Bowring, the emi
nent eastern traveller, in a lecturejlately delivered
in London on the eve of his departure for the
East, took occasion to say that in his opinion the
empire of China was destined to fulfil a great mis
sion, by the emigratior that was now going on from
thence through all the eastern nations. Such was
the population of China, that there was net a foot
of it scarcely but was cultivated. Such was the
over population, in fact, that notwithstanding the
most violent interdicts againßt i*s
surplus streams were overflowing the countries of
the East. In the Island of Java he found 25,000;
in the Islands of the Indian Archipelago, there
were not less than 70,000 Chinese : whilst in San
Francisco there had been settled’ 25,000 more ;
and great numbers were emigrating to Australis,
-and the Islands of Polynesia, or wherever there
was a field of labor open to them. It appeared to
be a law of Providence that the superior races of
mankind shtuld supplant the inferior, and wo saw
in the progress of time the inhabitants of the West
India Islands swept sway—that the Anglo Saxon
population was invading aad removing the would
not cay destroying) the red Indian tribes of Ame
rica. So the Chinese race was setting aside the
Malay in the same way that they (the Malays) had
set aside the Dyaks.
Ladies. —The name “ lady” is an abbreviation
of the Saxon “leofday,” whioh signifies “bread
giver.” The mistress of a manor, at a time when
affluent families resided constantly at their coun
try mansions, waa accustomed once a week or of
teuer, to distribute amongst the poor a certain
quantitv,of bread. She bestowed the gift with her
own hands, and made the hearts ol the needy
glad by the soft words and gentle actions which ac
companied her benevolence. The widow and the
orphans rose up and called her blest; tho deiui'ute
and the afflicted recounted her praises; all classes
of the poor embalmed in their affections as the
“leofday,” the giver of bread and the dispenser of
oomfort—a sort of ministering spirit in a world ol
sorrow. Who is the lady now f
At the last court day in Paris, Kentucky, the
sales of cattle amounted to over $159,000. Two
auctioneers sold over nine hundred mulee, and
their aggregate sales amounted to $94,962.

Extenalre Mall Robberies—Arreii of tbe Bobber.
For several weeks past, depredations on tbe
Post Office Department have been carried ou ou a
large scale between this city and Hartford, em
bracing losses from other points, aud large num
bers of letters—some of them containing money
and drafts to a considerable amount —have been
missing. The general mail agent of tho depart
ment, J. Holbrook, Esq., having bean notified of
the fact, has boen in this city, and in connec
tion with Dr. Thomas, our postmaster, and Mr.
Hammorsloy, tho postmaster of Hartford, has been
unremitting in his attempts to ferret out and de
tect the perpetrator of the robberies, and last
evening succeeded in delecting him in tho very
act.
Certain facts having led to the belief that Mr. R.
A. Smith, local basrgaga master on the Now Haven
Hartford and Springfield road, was the guilty per
son, experiments were made for his detection,
which have resulted in his arrest, under circum
stances which fasten the guilt upon him.
Yesterday evening, when the mail for tho North,
which leaves this city in the 7, 10 expres* train to
Springfield, had been made up at our office, aud
stmt over to the depot in the care of Smith, Mr.
Holbrook stationed himself iu a car under Chapel
street bridge, from which he watched the move
ments of the suspected man—who, soon alter he
had received the mails, was seen to plucc them on
a barrow, and wheel them to an oat of-the-way
place ou the North end of tho platform, when ho,
iu a most dexterous manner, unlocked one of tbe
bags and took from it several bundles of lei tors,
which he put into his pockets, aud then returned
the barrow to his baggage room, to await tho ap
pearance of tho train trom New York which con
nects with the up train for Hartford, and whioh
had not yet arrived.
Mr. Holbrook thon procured the assistance of
Capt. Bissell, of the police, who arrested Smith,
aud ou searching him there was found upon his
person the large package of letters made up here
for Hartford, and also for distribution—and a num
ber of packages for other offices made up in this
city.
.after tie search, Smith was taken to prison,
■••l&tw I* now' i-omabbi
On a subsequent search of his private dfef lr and
trunk in tfco bagge room, a large number of post
bills, envelopes, letters, drafts, chocks, and notes
to the amount of some thirty thousand dollars were
found. Also, upon his person, were found about
SBOO in bank notes, embracing tho money con
tained in several decoy packages placed in the
mail by Mr. Holbrook.
Smith has heretofore borne a good character,
and has been in tho employ of the Springfield
road, having onjoyed the confidence of his em
ployers. Previous to his occupying that position
he was tho keeper cf on oyster saloon in this city.
This detection is very gratifying on somo ac
counts, as it relievos many persons connected with
the Post Office Department who have been very
naturally suspected.

vouch lor its authenticity.
4 o’clock, A. M.—Wo have just returned from
the fire, The two steamers arc burnt to tho water’s
edge. Two schooners have taken lire, one is
burnt, the other will be caved.
The Empross, lying next south of the Ambassa
dor, was in imminent danger, but fortunately
escaped.
The rain is falling in torre its, which it is hoped
will prevent any further conflagration.
From the Advertiser of the r Mh.
Particulars of the Great Conflagration.
In oui paper of yesterday wo gave a brief notice
of the destructive conflagration of the night before,
or rather the same morning, since which time we
have baon ableto-gatnor the following particulars:
As to the precise manner in which the fire
originated, the particulars are not known, furthei
than that the flames were first seen breaking out
from a wood pile iu the forepart of tho steamboat
Sum Dale, near tho boilers, and spree ding with
such rapidity, tliai in u tew moments the boat, was
completely enveloped in Haines. Tno officers
barely had time to save themselves, one or two
being compell.-d to fly, when not more than half
dressed, lor safety. Captain Frank Johnson, who
was asleep on hoard at the timo, was farced to
jump overboard and bwirn for his life, so complete
ly was he surrouridod by lire and smoke, when
ranching the boiler deck.
From the Sam Dale tho firo was communicated
to the steamer Ambassador, which lay at the next
wharf below, and thy two soon shared the samo
fate. The officers, however, had time to make
their escape, but so little did ihoy *hink that
dangor was so near at hand, little or notuiug was
saved from her.
To tho north of the Sam Dale the schooners
Whig and Aiido, lighters loadod with sail, wero
lying, and little hope was entertained for them for
some time, but by some favorablo circumstance or
other, the heavy fall of rain, and thetimely aid of
tho firemen, thoy were saved, with tiie loss only
of their rigging and nr.sts.
A large quantity of freight had bear, received on
both of tho unfortunato boats, and, on their re
spective wharves during tho day previous, for
shipment, and is entirely lost. As the hooks of
the receiving clerk are not to bo found, no correct
estimate can be made of its value.
The Mognolia lay astoru of the Ambassador, bat
upon the flames being discovered on her (the Am
bassador’s) decks, sho dropped down below and
thus escaped'the devouring element.
Tho steamer Wilcox was on fire several times, 1
but the rain impeded its progress and she Was but '
little injured.
The Ambassador was up for Logan’s Bluff
(Warrior river) and was to have left last night hav
ing a ready a fair freight on board.
The Sam D.do was bound for Wotumpka; and ;
but for this untimely accident would have left last :
night well loaded.
The iron sale on board tiie Ambassador was 1
hauled ashore yesterday, and some of the books
and valuable papors and a large quantity of money *
found to bo sate. The money which was loft in 1
a collecting book was all sate, tho books suffering ■
only by being slightly swinged.
It is the impression of the officers of the Dale I
that tho fire-proof safe of that boat will be recov- .
erod from the wreck.
The Sam Ualo and Ambassador are both insured
in tho Fulton and Dry Dock Insurance companies
for $5,000 each, and in tho W’ost for SIO,OOO each.
It is thought that the entire loss will not bo much
short of $70,000
Tho hull of the Ambassador is left afloat filled
with charred mutter, while the Sam Dale which
was burned to the water’s edge, sunn at the wharf.
The two were among tho finest boats on our
waters and was very justly the source of much
pride to thoir owners and tho public generally.
Wo regret, exceedingly, their loss as it will re
quire sometime to replace them by others.
East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad. —The
new Board of Dirootors of tho Lost Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad met iu Athens, on Friday the
24th, for the purpose of electing a President and
Secretary and Treasurer for the current year. As
was expected and desired by the friends of tho
Road generally, Msj. C. Wallace, the former Pro
sideut, was re-elected; and Mnj. R. O. Jackson,
was re elected Secretary and Treasurer. The in
creasing amount of business upon tiie Road re
quired the appointment ot a superintendent, and
Mij. Jackson rcoeiveu tho appointment, and was
authorised to.omploy a Clerk to assist him in the
duties belonging to bis office as Secretary. The
meeting, wo understand, was characterised by the
utmost unanimity of sentiment.
The fondest anticipations ovor indulged in re
gard to this road, are already beginning to be
realised. Freights are offeiihg with unpiecodented
activity, limited only by the capacity of the Road,
to transport. We are pleased to elate in this con
nection, that Mr. Palmer, Superintendent ot Mo
tivo Power, has been directed to proceed North,
for the purpose of .purchasing an additional num
ber ol Locomotives, and Wej. Jackson is now
negotiating the. purchase of 2UO more Freight Cars.
So it will be seen the company are not pursuing a
a penny-wiso-pound-foolish policy. They are de
termined to meet the wants of the public; and
thoy will not subject their friends to pay one cout
more for freights, than they would have to pay on
any rival route. — Louden Free Press , 28 t/i ult.

East India Jugglers.
An East India correspondent of tho Post gives
the following iccountol a rcoont exhibition of tbo
Jugglers in the East, whocecm to have lost none
of that skill lor which they long since became fa
mous:
“In Madras are found in perfection tho cele
bratod Eastora Jugglers. Groups of them are
daily in tho hotols upon tho arrival of a stoamor,
to exhibit their wonderful feats and receive ru
pees. Snake daucing, sword swallowiug, fire eat
ing, tumbling, &c., are shown to tho crowds
who e.aroh jor amusement. With aonn othois, I
hired a party Jo exhibit on the verandah of the
hotel, aud am quite assured of their superiority
over all other magicians, professed or amateur, in
tho world. At the timo assigned, they wore on
tbe spot arranging their implements preparatory
j to great wonders and marvels of deception. While
thus preparing, 1 took a cheroot from its case,the
more readily to find out everything about what
’ was going on, and searched among the circle
of pa .sengers for a light. Perceiving the desire,
one of the Jugglers came to me, went through a
pantomimic reqiiost to regard hi* fuco attentively,
n id commenced blowing like a pair of bellows.
Much to my surprise a stream of smoke issued
from his lips, and finally a pointed jot of flame,
shaped as gracefully aa a gas light and extending
two inches iu my direction, which he kindly
placed at my convenience, 1 availed myself of it
by lighting my cigar, expressed my obligation,
and also a desire to examine intrinsically so polite
nsalamau er. 1 opened his mouth, looked in,
looked around, and felt outside, but dovil afeauso
could 1 discover for tho sudden aud appropos con
flagration ! W hat an agreeable follow you are
fora windy day, was an inward exclamation, and
wliat a lite you may lead wi' hout danger of future
warmth I But tho magio was about to cotnmonco,
aud I forgot my friend with tho portable lurnaeo
iu other wondora less individual, perhaps, but
quitoas mysterious. They danced cobra capellos,
opening their Hat heads to show them sound in
fang and vonom bags, and made them perform a
variety of poses. The snakes danced in a oircle,
kept udtnirablo time with the rnttsio, and exhibited
tin- utmost willingness imaginable to accommodate
Europeans. A httudiul cf sand taken from the
rest was made to mark every color, and fiuaily, to
produce a shovelful of every variety by a simple
manual operation.
Plants grow perceptibly, balls danced in the air,
swords, hooks, jagged pieces of iron wore used
like sounding loads to penetrato abdomens, eggs
made birds and birds made rabbits, and rabbits in
their turn underwent various transformations ;
common cotton hubs moved at command, going
away an immense di3taneo, but returning on the
ground very obediently, until wo were completely
tied up, and turned iusido out ourselvos with
atniizoment and credulity. Thon came the great
(eat of the greatest juggler in India—tho most no
torieus and wonderful of all descriptions, and “for
this night only.” The performer, tho leader of
tha party, iiad rested quietly with his wife and
child outside the" oircle, watching the entire pro
ceedings of his mon, und noticing tho genorul
effect upon the assemblage. At tho conclusion of
an announcement, proportionate with hia dignity
sud elevation, ho stepped into the onolosod space
to give a grand finale to the whole perlormauo".
Taking tho child, u little boy five or six yours of
age, from its mother, despite her tears and entrea
ties, ho signed the attendants to prycuro tho re
quired implements for his feat, directing their
arrangement and position noci.r ing to his mind.
A largo basket six or seven feet deep, made ot
straw, was shown the spectators, that they might
assure themselves of its being n basket without any
addition or improvement—simply a basket of
Htraw, very common in all parts of tho world. In
verting it, after lire diligent investigation of the
entire party, lie atood his litt'e boy in tho centre of
the circle, and covered him with the basket, like
»n extinguisher on a caudle. The room allowed
the l.ttlo fellow an upright and apparently com
fortablo position. Wu were permitted to see him
under the bs-kot, and o satisfy ourselves of bis
being there without doubt. A mtkod sword buy
ing received an equally close examination, was
placed in tt.e man's hand and the feat commenced.
Assured of the child’s concealment under the bas
ket, of the koouuoss and validity of t keyword, wo
awaited in silent horror for his next proceeding.
There was no table in tho apartment, no trap in
the basket, nothing but the imrd stony ibor, and
no confederate near him. Taking the weapon in
his hand ho wavod it in tho air, muttered a jargon,
cud commenced a series of rapid thruaus through
the basket, making the point penetrate every timo
tho opposite side, down into the basket und all
over it, until it could hardly support its own
weight from mutilation. It was perforated like a
Boive.
A cry came from the interior and a stream of
blood began to tricklo from under it, along the
stoue floor on to the feet of tho spectators. Cries
of horror pierced tho uir, the mother ran shrieking
to tro basket to seize her horribly gashed and
blooding boy 1 She overturned it—no ohild wus
there, nothing hut a pool of blood! Everybody
looked frightened and rciiovod, while tho juggler
coolly wipod tlio blood from ilic sword hludo.
Suddenly, bursting from tho middle of tho group
of observers, tho litCo fellow oairie running to his
mot in r, unhurt, unharmed, and a pretty smile on
his brown, childish face. Taking hold of hor
hand, ho seomed to ask the oause of her tears, and
fondled her in cffectiouato sympathy. It was a
trick—a deception—a humbug. Hut how to ex
plain it. 1 saw a child under the basket a
moment boforo the thrust; I raw the sword, its
plain iron handle, no sbolior for the keen sharp
blade; I stood upon tha same floor upon which
rcstod tho basket. I watched the whole oarofully
while the sword parsed around—there was no re
fuge in the basket, there wus no confederate, no
mantle, no trap-door. Tho noise of straw was
distinctly hoard at ouoh thrust; tho blood was
Shore, and at the- end tb» child osme from tho
crowd quitealivo. I was within six feet and could
not. understand it; perhaps you who were farther
away will be more successful. But isn’t it a point
or two in advance of Alexander, Blitz, and those
men ? ■
Why niapo’eon Invaded Rauls.
A work has boen quite recently published in
France by M. Vitlermaiu, tho ex professor and ox
lilinistcr of Slate, which thrown, a strong light on
tho ulterior objects of the older Napoleon in his
invasion of Bussia in tho year 1812. As a war be
tweon England and Russia is thought by many to
greatly endanger the possessions of England in tho
East, tho views of Napoleon, who aimed at this ob
,ect, present more than usual interest, and will not
redeemed out of plaoe at this timo to notice, as ,
every idea connected with tho present issue or re- 1
lating to European affairs, as existing on the con- ,
tinent, will bo road by tho general reader. Among j
the statement in his confidence, to whom ho un- i
bosorned himself on that occasion, wus M. Talley- ]
rand, tho Buko do B_isnur.no, and the Count de ]
Nurbonnc, all of whom counselled againßttho in \
vaaion of Russia. M. Villormain narrates tho con- ,
vernations held by tho latter, with Bonaparte, who ,
contended that “ after all, the long Russian road is
the rou'o to India.”
Count de Narboune frankly reasoned against tho
invasion of Russia. lie urged that it would bo
wiser and safer to command with tho French ar
mies the entire course of tho Vistula and Nieman
than to organize a Polish nation behind that ram
nait—a Poland able to furnish 200,000 soldiers.
Russia would not bo conquered at Moscow, though
Austria and Prussia had ticca at Vienna and Ber
lin. A confl ct with civilized nations at your door
was different from one with semi-barbarism at u
vast distance. The Russieus may have boon over
ccmo in Italy, Prussia, and Germany; but who
knew that they could bo, in the depths of thoir
own country, armed with their climate, their rug
god nature, and fanatical desperation.
Napoleon listened attentively and calmly; ho
replied, in substance: ‘‘You think me wild, bnt
my rashness is calculation ; I must strikelar offin
order to control mutters at homo. Where Bhould
I find a king lor Poland 1 No member of my fami
ly is lit; it would bo dangerous to tsko one out of
that circle. Barbarous nations uro superstitious ;
a terrible blow once struck at Moscow tho great,
tl,o holy—tho heart of tho empire—will deliver
into my hands that blind, unelastic mass. I know
Alexander ; 1 have possessed an asoondency over
him that can he regained : a grand Btroke of
during and power will subdue his imagination :
ho will then yield. That Russian barbarism of
which you are afraid, is an inferiority before our
tactics and organization.
As for tho v at dimensions of Russia, they will
utfotd bo many stages tho more, to bo marked by
victories. With such force as I purpose to assem
ble, and such arrangements as i have in view, I
shall not dread hor deserts. After all, the long
Russian road is tha routa to India. Alexander
reached the Ganges from a point as distant as
Moscow. If I had not been i affled at Saint Joan
d’Acre, I should have aehiovod tha conquest of
Europe. I have explored my line of msroo: I can
get to the British possessions ofErivan und Tiflis.
You have hoard of the r issions of Gardanne and
Jauhort in Po'.aia. Suppose Moscow captured—
Russia beaten down—Alexander won over, or a
victim to some court conspiracy, and Tuikey en
listed on my side, as she naturally and necessarily
would bo—and then toll me whether, for a grand
army of French and auxiliaries, access to the Gan
ges would not be possible. The scaffolding of
mercantile greatnes when touched by a French
sword would fail to tho ground over all India. The
expedition is gigantic I admit; but it is feasible in
the nineteenth century; thus at one dash Franco
would havo conquarod tho independence of the
Wust and tha liberty of the seas.”

is termed caaU rules the whole social fubria with
an iron hand. The number of those castor, pro
parly speaking is four. Brahmius, or priests, the
r v r-—«iHuuiiun, ui pus,* 1 .;-, lag
t/shafryas, or military clasp; Vaisyas or merchants;
and the Budras, or laboreie. Besides these four
1 there are many half oastea formed by the ad-mix
ture of the original. Below nil aro the Pariahs or
outcasts, a o!a*s from Hindoo society excludes and
whom it donies evory right of humanity. Os tho
other oastes the Brahmins are the first in point of
I dignity,and are regarded by the mass with an es
timation little short of sanctity. The Cabotryaa,
though inferior in the aooial scale to the Brah
mins, maintain an exalted rank in pnfclio estima
tion. Tho uam», whioh signifies “tho sons of
Kings," implies a boast of their honorable descent
from the anoient Kujaha. Tho Naisyas, or mer
chants, are numerous in the cities, particularly on
the ooaat, but their oharnoteris gouerally low for
probity and honesty. The Budras inolude the
cultivators of tho ground, and nearly all who en
gage in mechanical oinploymonla.
Thoso four great divisions of society in India are
dofined with the most scrupulous exactness. To
some, one ocoupation is forbidden. In another
case the Bame impeiious rule opera;os to provont
aocoss to different pursuits. But to the mixed
olassos all Hro open, and in times of sonreity, or in
cases of individual distress the rules of caste may
bo so far relaxed, that tho poraon may descend to
the employment of a lower rank, or a Hindoo may
exeroise the offices of tho olaas to which he is rela
ted on his mothers side. No person out ot the
oaato of the Brahmins oau hopo to exercise the
snored privileges bestowed upon them. Below
the Budras iu the social scale, stand a mixed class,
t’ui tabs, the offspring of r father cf tho io.» ; i r.f
the four castes ? and a mother of the highest i cnk.
The most menial and slavish offices aro perform
ed by these porsons. They are prohibited from
living in towns, and compelled to turn aside when
they meet with their superiors in rank. Another
class which ooonpy a low position in tho nooial
scale aro the “Wagheriea.” Those men aro hun

Their habits of living upon the spoils of the chase,

of their feature is strongly marked, and gives in
dication in the possessor of more powerful pas
sions than is common to the gonorulily of Hin
doos.
I’crsDns who live under republican institutions
have no adequate conception of the vast influence

system is interwovon with all religious rights ideas
and institutions, and the whole social fabric is per

Interview with Oilier Pacha.
A correspondent of one of the London daily pn-
Sers, thus doscribos an interview with tho Ottoman
ouoral:
Omcr t’aohnsat on a divan, near tho fire, with a
long chibouk by his side, and surrounded by pa,
pors and letters. At n respectful distance wore
two or throe Pachas, also with pipes, which, how
ovor, in accordance with Turkish official etiquette,
they never touched until their superior had ant them
the example. Ho at ouoe ontered into conversa
tion iu French—which ho speaks fluently, but with
rather a strong Gorman accent. Italian is his forte.
Thu first thing that struck mo on Booing him, was
the Bingularingonuity displayed by the trench and
English artists, who nave undertaken to render his
foaturos familiar to tho European public, in making
thair portraits so vory unlike tho orginai. Any of
them that have come nnder my notioo would serve
just ns well for memorial of the Emporor of China,
or tho Czar Nicholas, as of Oiner Pacha.
But independent ly oftlie false impressi ons which
thoy had left on my mind, I must confess that I
found it somewhat difficult to realize the idea that I
was actually in the presence of the redoubtable
chief whoso name has boon on every tongue forth#
lest six months. Take a vay the huge moimtnchka
which half concealed his mouth, and the gray beard
beneath it, and you might fancy at first glance
yourself talking to a “fino old English gentleman,”
who hud never porformedany more warlike exploits
than running down a fox. There is a kindly, good
humored gleam in his oye—an honest candor—
which puts yon at your ease, because you foel that
ho is so; Dotmerofya rude soldierly traukess, hut
an approach to “bon boinrnie,” though without tho
smallest wart ot dignity. On a longer acquaintance,
you discover that the outlines of his faje bear the
improsson of Hereuloan onergy, and even of auda
city ; and there is a tnnssivenoss about the wrin
kles, oven, that nothing bave a lleroe struggle
vhieiitTimn con'd have produced. 1 1 thnre be epy ■ k
truth in phrenology, one would say that his WEWtf
intoileotual was l‘idgod in hia forehead. . _
In moments of excitement, when his eyes fla«h
nndot tbe cover of his large eyebrows—and us they
sometimes do even in ordinary conversation—his
uppoaranoe reminds one moro of a roused lion than
auy man's 1 over saw. Ilis manner iH that ol a pol
ished gontloman—ins patience inhatistiblo. Ills
observations, even upon topios which one would
suppose pofsossed but littlo of interest for him, bear

I was surprised bv his accurate knowledge of Eng
lish home politics, though when speaking on the
subject with au Englirhmnn, he shows somo diffi
dence in pronouncing an opinion, and generally
throws remarlca into an interrrogatory from. Re
garding hor foreign relations, ho, as might be ex
pected, speaks with moro boldness, and express
es his confident belief that any hesitation she shows
in grappling with Russia now, is hut postponing
tho struggle to a period when she will find herself
less prepared for it and will, perhaps, have to
meet it alone; for he docs not entertain a doubt that
two poworn representing principles so opposite to
ono another, cannot subsist side by side without a
collision, which must end in a combat “a l’out
rance.”
The Coal Trade of Great Britain. — To suoli an
extent, nays the Darliutn (Eng.) Ohroniolo, bus
our coal industry been developed, that at the
the present timo not Ices than 87,000,000 tons are
annunlly rubod, the value of which nt the pit’s
month, is little less tlmu £10,000,000 ; nt the places
of consumption, including expenses of transport
eml other chagas, probably not less than £20,-
000,000. The capital employed in the trade ex
ceeds £10,000,000. Anout 4'io iron furnaces of
Greut Britain consume annually 10,000,000 tons of
coat, and 7,000,000 tonsef iron stone, in order to
produce 2,600,000 tons of pig iron of the value of
upwards of £8,000,000. For the supply of the
metropolis alone 8,000,000 tons of coal arc ro- .
qnirocl for mnnnfncturing and domestic purposes ;
our counting vessois conveyod in 1860 upwaiJe of
0.360,000 tons to various ports In the Ur ted
Kingdom, and 8,860,000 tons wore exported to
foreign countries and the British possessions.
Ad i to this that about 120,000 porsons are con
stantly employed in extracting the coal from the
mines, and that in some of the Northern oonntrios
there ere more persons at work under the ground
than upon its surtaoo, and some approximate idea
maybe formed of the importance and extent of
this branch of our industry. The oxteut of tho
coal areas in tho British Islands is 12,000 square
miles, and the annual product 87,o00,0U0toria; of
Belgium 250 miles, annual produce 5,000,000 tens;
of Franco 2,000 miles, animal product 4,150,000
tons; of the United States 118.C00 miles, animal
produce* 4,000,000 tons; of I’ruesia 2200 milts,
annual produce, 8,500,000 tons; of Spain 4000
miles, annual produce 550,000 tons; of British
North America 180,000 milos, annual produce not
known.
*ThU is much below the true figure. The production of
coal in Pennrylvaniaeb ne, last jear, was fui'y 6.1100,000
tons, and Maryland, Ohio, Illinois and uth-r States, mast
have produced a couple of millions additional.— BMl,

The Philanthropists at Uomx.— The New York
Times presents tho following pictnre of what phi
lanthropy Icavoa undone in that city. We are not
informod that the Anti-Nebraska Conventicle*
passed any resolutions on the subject:
“Intelligent persons sometimes wonder where
all tho crime that infests society conies from.
They will cease to wonder, If they wilt bat reflect
upon tho tact that there are ten thousand children
in this city alone, who are either without parents
or friends, or are trained systematically by their
parents to vagrancy, beggary and crime; not only
shut out utterly and hopelessly from all moral in
fluences, but exposed day aud night to the coutam
iuution of crime, and taught by oxample, the
swiftest of tcacbors, Its world excesses; growing
up into youth and maturity without evon know- _
ing how to got on honest living, aud predestined
thus from their very infancy to become tho post*
and tho victims of society. It is flrom this olss,e
that our army of thievoa i nd murderers is annu
ally reinforced. Here is the nursery from which
conic forth in duo time the thousands of hardy,
expert and reckless villains against whom we bar
our doors in vui», and from whom we arc compelled
tt last to proteot ourselves by the dread machinery
of the dungeon and the gallows. This is the hot
bed in which society raises its criminals—in which
it trains its children to habits of crime—s' jtting
from them the light of knowledge—screening
them carefully from all sympathy and kindly re
gard fretu the classes above thom—surrounding
their budding passions and ed! propensities with
whato <er can stimulate them into a rank and preco
cions growth—and then swooping them into its
dungeons, or hanging them by the neck until they
are dead, in self defence."
A Exhale FlLLiBusTEt—A letter fr*m the is
land of 8t Thomas, daiod Feb. sth, to tho N. Y.
Evening Poet, says: , ,
Mr. Cazoncau, the husband of“ Cora Montgome
ry,” sailed hence recently for ibo oity of I St. Do
miDgo, under a commission from Mr. Marcy. ill*
wile* who is already somewhat famous as njilcbuu
2r«,’had proocedei him to his post of obsorvat.on
a month or more. What the proofs nature of
“he r mission is, he did net know himself when
h re his wife having bis commission .n her pos
session, but it is interred from her statements,
made in Bt. Domiugoshortly after her arrival that,
thev -re to make arrangements for the annexation
of the eastern part of liayti to the United States;
or for some good and sufficient consideration, to
offer tbo subjects ot President Santana the protec
torate of the Unitod Stutes against tbo pretensions
of his western rival. She has not hesitated to as
sure tho people of St Domingo that the country
would belong to the U. States in six mouth-and
to reoommend them to be of good courage. What
grounds she could have for suoh promises, I am
not advised, but a woman who talks so freely will
be sure to write with equal freedom, aud prohably
before this reaches you, she will have spread her
hopes and expectations in exletuo before the Amer
ican people.
