LOVE THE OLD.
BT L TUtGIXU SMITH.
I lore the old, to toon betide
The antique, easy chair,
And past my fingers softly o’er
A wreath of si«vere4 hair;
To press my gloving lips upon
’ Vbe farrowed brow, anl gsxe
Within the sunken eye, where dwells
) The u light of other days.”
To fold the pale and feeble band
That on my youthful head,
Has Lain so tenderly the while.
When eveniog prayer was said;
To nestle down close to the heart,
And marvel how U held,
Fuch tales of legendary lore,
The chronicles of Eld.
Oh! youth, thou hast so much of joy,
So much of life and love.
So many hopes—age has but one,
The hope of bliss above;
Then turn awhile from these away,
To cheer the old, and bless
The wasted heart-spring with a stream
The gushiDg tenderness.
Thou treidest now a path of bk»m,
And thine exalting soul
Springs proudly on, as tho* it mocked
At time's unfelt control;
But they have aarcbei a weary way,
Upon a thorny road;
Then soothe the toil-worn spirits ere
They pass away to God.
Yes, love the aged—bow before
The Venerable form,
Bo soon to seek beyond the sky -
A shelter from the storm;
love them, let thy silent heart,
With reverence untold,
As pilgrims very near to heaven,
Sustain and love the old.

The following communication to an old Scotcn

nishos abundant proof that the only reason why
the telegraph was not sooner established and per- 1
looted, was that the world was not ready for it— i
Morse may get the credit and profit of the inven

Kefbew, Feb. 1,1758. '
*“Sib—lt is well known to all who are oonver- '
sant in electrical experiments, that the electric
power may be propagated along a small wire from ‘
one place to another, without being sensibly
abated by the length of its progress. Let, then, a '
Bet of wires, equal in number to the letters of the
alphabet, be extended horizontally between two
given places, parullel to one another, and each of '
them about an inch distant from that next to it.— i
At every twenty yards end, let them be fixed in ,
glass or jeweller’s cement, to some firm body, both ,
to prevent them from toucting the earth, or any ,
other non-eleetric, and from breaking by their
own gravity. Let the electric gun-barrel be
placed at right angles with tho extremities of the |
wires, and about an inch below them. Also, let
the wires be fixed in a solid pieco of glass at six
inches from the end , and let that part of them
which reuchos from the glass to the machine,
have sufficient spring and stiffness to recover its ■
situation alter having been brought in contact .
with this barrel. Close by the supporting glass ,
let a ball be suspended from every wire ; and
about a sixth or an eighth of an inch below the (
bull, place tho letters of an alphabet, marked on •
bits of paper, or any other snbstance that may be J
light enough to rise to the electrified ball; and at
the same time lot it be so contrived that each of
them may resume its proper place when ,
dropped.
All things constructed as above, and the minute
previously fixed, I begin tho conversation with
my distant friend in this manner. Having set the !
olectrical machine going, as in ordinary experi
ments, suppose I am to pronounce the word Sir ,
withapieceofglass, or any other electric per st, ’
I strike the wire S, so ss as to bring it in contact ,
with the barrel, then i, then r, all in the same j
way; and my correspondent almost in tho spine
instant observes these several characters rise in '
order, to the electric balls at his end of the wires. ,
Thus I snell awuy as long as 1 think fit; and my .
correspondent, for tho sake of memory, writes the
characters as tlioy rise, and may join and read
them aftorwurds as often as ho inclines. Upon a
signal given, or from choice, I stop the machine ; .
and taking up the pen in my turn, I write down
whatever my friend at the other end strikes out.
“If any body should think this way tiresome,
let him, instead of tho balls, suspend a range of .
bells from the roof, equal in number to the lottcra ,
of tho alphabet; gradually decreasing in size from
the bell A to Z—and, from tho horizontal wires,
let there be anothor set reaching to the several ,
bells: one, viz, from the lioriz ntal wire A totbo
bell A, another from the horizontal wire B to the
bell B, Ac. Then let him who begins tho dis
oourso bring the wires in contact with the barrel, '
as beforo; and the electric spark breaking on the '
bells of dilfarent size, will inform his correspond- |
ent by the sound what wires have been touched.
And then, by some practice, they may come to
understand the languago of the chimes in whole
words, without being put to tho trouble of writing
down ovory letter.
“Tho same thing may be otherwise effected.
Let the balls be suspended over tho characters as •
before, but instead of bringing the ends of the .
horizontal wires in contact with the barrel, let a
second set roach from the electrified wire, so aa to
bo in contaot with the horizontal ones; and .Jet it '
be so contrived at the same time, that any of them
may be removed from its corresponding horizontal
by the sllgntest touch, and may bring itself again I
in contact, when left at liberty. This may be
done with the help of a small spring and Blider, *
or tiven'.y o !>er mctsmls; which the least ingenu- 1
ity will discover. In this way the characters will
always adhere to the balls, excepting when any
of the secondaries is removed from contaot with .
its horizontal; and then the letter at the other
end of the horizontal will immediately drop from 1
its ball. But I mention this only by wßy of vari
ety. . i
“Some may perhaps think, that although this I
electric fire has not boen observed to diminish sen- !
sibly, in its progress through any length of wire ,
that has been tried hitherto; yet as that has never \
exceeded some thirty or forty yards, it may be
reasonably supposed, that in a far greater leugth,
itwonldbo remarkably diminished, and probably (
would be entirely drained off in a few miles_ by
the surrounding air. To prevent the objection,
and some longer argument/ lay over the wires
from one ond to the other with a thin coat of jewel
ler’s cement. Thin may be done for a trifle of ad
dititional expense ; and as it iB an electric per ee,
w 11 effectually secure any part of the fire from
mixing with the atmosphere—l am, &c., C. M-’’

Work for the Police. —From evidences daily
multiplying in our midst there is plenty of work
on baud tor our police, both night and day.
Within the past month, mnrdar, robbery, incen

within the limits of the City, and in the majority (
of osscs tho perpetrators have thus far escaped
detection. Our police are acknowledged to be
capable, and when awakened by a oonviction of
necessary vigilance they have shown thems.lves
ontirely efficient. Wo trust they will need no fur
ther proofs than bavo boen recontly turnished
them that the time now iswhon their best services

the police be fearless in the taithful discharge of
their duty and they will be sustained and aided
by those upon whom they have a right to rely.—

Engineer’s Trial Trip oi the Knoxville. —The
new steamship Knoxville, of the New York and
Savannah Line, went on an engineer’s trial trip
Irom New York on Thursday last. She steamed
down tbe Boos as far as the Highlands and back,
making sixteen miles to the honr. Every part of
her machinery worked to the greatest satisfaction,
and Bhe is represented to be one of the handsom
est ships afloat.
Bit is expected that the Knoxville will leave New
York, on her first trip to Savannah, on Wednes
day ol next week. As most of onr readers are
aware she will be commanded by Capt. Ludlow,
the lormer well known popular commander of the
Alabama. — Savannah Republican.
Fuel foe Locomotives. —The Journal of Com
merce learns that the attempts made a few months
ago, to burn coke, as a substitute for wood on the
locomotives of the New Haven Bailroad, may yet
prove successful, as an engine is building at Bal
timore adapted to the consumption of that kind
of fuel. The road is now supplied with wood
from Virginia, which is yearly becoming a heavier
item of expense. On the Hudson B 8., one en
gine consumes coal, and is saidto run well.
The Transhipping Depot of the two B&ilroads,
at this city, seems to be going on as first planned
by the Bailroad authorities. We were mortified
to hear a report stating that the present dimen
sions were to be mnch contracted, for those who
are acquainted with the amount of business done
here, know the great disadvantages the Western &
Atlantic Road has ever labored under to keep clear
of the heavy amount of freight daily offered for
shipment. Our motto is, “always stick to the old
landmarks.”— Chattanooga Ader.

a select committee was appointed, who made an
able report, and recommended the appointment of

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15,1854.
From tie Ciarieeton Courier.
The Mlaewatrl Compmafae.
This matter, no far aa the agency of Mr. Clay in
it was oonceraed, is generally very mnch misun
derstood. There were, in fact, two Missouri Com
: promises, and it was in the letter that Mr. Clay so
prominently figured. We recollect well that Mr.
Clay himself, in the course of one of his speeches,
in the Senate, in 1850, fully explained the pert that
he took, and showed that the stage, st which he so
happily interfered, was not on the Misaonri line or
Missoari Compromise proper, bat on s collateral
ma:ter, which sprang up after the Miaeouri line of
36 80 had been adopted. With that line he.had
nothing to do, more than many other members of
the House, namely, voting for and advocating it—
its proposal did not emanate from him. After this
difficulty had been got over, the storm broke out
afresh, and raged more fieroely than ever, in re
ference to a provision of the Constitution of Mis
souri, which prohibited the migration of free per
soos of color into the State. The main queation
bad agitated and Bhaken the Union to its centre,
aod this new issue caused it to rock on its base
more fearfully than ever. At this moment, when
accomodation seemed hopeless, and despair had
seized on the public mind and heart, Mr. Clay rose,
in all the dignity of hia character and position,
and, with persuasive, touching and triumphant
eloquence, at once poured oil on the troubled and
angiy waters, and won the minds and hearts of
his great auditory to soquiesce in a new proposal
of harmony and peace. With great skill and taet,
too, did he effect hia patriotic purpose—namely,
by tbo simple device of leaving the obnoxious
clause of the Constitution of Missoari as it stood,
but inserting a declaration, in tbe resolution of
admission, that nothing in that clause, should be
so construed as to authorize the passage of any
law, and that no law should bs passed in conformi
ty thereto, excluding any citisen of any of the
States of the Union, from the enjoyment of any] of
the privileges and immunities to which suoh citi
zen was entitled under tbe Constitution of the
United States—which was simply declaring the
supremacy of that instrument. It wasthe
of this declaration in the joint resolution for tiha 1
admisaton qf Mimyuri into the Union, on an equal
the honor, the nndying honor, of having saved the 1
Union; and therefore tbe repeal, or superseding 1
of the other feature of tbe Missouri Compromise,
namely, tbe latitude of 86 80, aa the dividing line -
between alaveholding and n jn-slaveholding States, !
within the Louisiana purchase, will not efface Mr. 1
Clay’s Compromise from the records or a-ebives
of the country, nor dim a single ray of his well 1
earned glory on that memorable occasion. 1
The following is a sketch of the history of the :
Missouri Compromise for which we are indebted 1
to the National intelligencer. It will be fomnd J
deeply interesting: *
The First Miaaourf Compromise. 1
On the Bth of December, 1819, Mr. Holmes, of ]
Massachusetts, presented a memorial from the -
people of Maine, praying to be admitted into tbe >
Union on equal footing with tbe original States,
together with a copy of the Constitution formed for
the State. Referred to a committee of five mem
bers. I
Mr. Scott (Delegate from Misaonri) presented a <
memorial from the people of Missouri, praying to '
be authorized to form a Constitution of State Gov- "
eminent, and to be admitted on an equal footing
with the original States. Referred to a select oom
mittee.
On the 14th December Mr. Taylor, of New York, ]
introduced a resolution proposing an inquiry into i
the expediency of prohibiting by Taw the introduo- j
tion of slaves into the Territories west of the Mis- |
sissippi. [The committee were afterwards dis- ]
charged from the further consideration of the sub- ]
jeet.j i
A bill authorizing the people of Missouri to form j
a State Constitution, had been previously reported, j
and the consideration of the subjeot was fixed for j
the second Monday in January. ,
On the 28th of December Mr. Taylor moved a j
resolution on the subject of prohibiting the intro- ,
duction of slaves in the territories west of the (
Mississippi. Laid on the table, 82 to 62. ]
On the 80th Deccmberthe bill for theadmiasion j
of Maino was considered. ,
In the Senate, when the bill for the admission of 1
Maine was up, Mr. Barbour,of Virginia, wished to 1
commit it, so as to amend it by attaching to it a •
provision for the admission of Missouri.
In the meanwhile a bill for the admission of ,
Maine had passed the House, and was then before ;
the Senate. ;
On the 10th January, 1820, the Benate consider- |
ed the bill for the admission of Maine, with the .
amendment of Mr. Barbour to authorize Missouri *
to form a constitution.
On the 14th January an ineffectual effort was •
made to separate the two bills.
On the 17th Mr. Roberts,of Pennsylvani, moved
to add to tbe Missouri section the following pro ■
viso:
“ Provided, That the further introduction into
said State of persons to be held to slavery or in
voluntary servitude within the same shall be ab
solutely and irrevocably prohibited.”
On the 18th Ur. Thomas, of Illinois, on leave,
introduced a bill to prohibit the introduction of
Hlavery into the Territories of the United States,
north and west of the contemplated State of Mis
souri.
The subject of the restriction upon Missouri was
debated at length for several days.
It was also discussed in the House, with an
amendment offered by Storrs, of New York, to
prohibit slavery in territory north of the 88th de
gree of north latitude. Decided in the negative.
Mr. Taylor, of New York, then moved a restric
tion upon slavery within the State of Missouri.
Mr. Holmes, of Massachusetts, (afterwards Sena
tor from Maine,) opposed the restriction.
January 28.— The Senate resumed the Missouri
question, and Mr. Van Dyke, of Delaware, op
posed the restriction.
January 81.—Mr. Sanford laid before the Sen
ate the resolutions of the New York Legislature
in favor of restricting slavery in new States.
JdrvßsHjour ojtposod the resolution in a speech
February, I.—The question Was taken on Mr.
Robert’s restrictive olause, and it was decided in
the negative, as follows:
Yeas —Mr. Merrill, es New Hampshire, Molten
and Otis of Massachusetts, Dana, of Connecticut,
Burrell, of Rhodo Island, Tiehenor, of Vermont,
King and Sandford, of Now York, Dickinson and
Wilson of New Jersey, Lowrie and Roberts of
Pennsylvania, Buggies and Trimble, of Ohio,
Noble and Taylor, of Indiana—l 6.
Nays —Mr. Parrott, of New Hampshire, Hunter,
of Rhode Island, Lamman, of Connecticut, Palmer,
of Vermont, Van Dyke, of Delaware, Lloyd and

Walker of Georgia, Johnson and Logan, of Ken
tucky, Eaton and Williams of Tennessee, Brown
and Johnson, of Louisians, Leake and Williams,
of Mississippi, Edwards and Thomas, es Illinois,
King and Walker, of Alabama—27.
February B.—Mr. Rugglcs, of Ohio, laid be
fore the Senate sundry resolutions of his State
Legislature In favor of the restriction of slavery in
the new States.
Mr. Thomas, of Illinois, offered an additional
section to the Missouri bill, proposing to prohibit
slavery in all the territory beyond, the Mississippi
north of 36% degrees north latitude, except within
the limits of the proposed Stale of Missouri.
February 7.—Mr. Thomas, with a view to modi
fy his amesdment and offer it in another Bliape,
withdrew it.
February 11.—Propostion pending to unite the
bills for the admission of Maine and Missouri.
February 16.—Question taken on uniting the
bills, and decided in the affirmative: Yeas 28,
nays 21.
Mr. Thomas, of Illinois, then offered this amend
ment to the Missouri branoh of the bill, limiting
slavery to 86degrees.
[A Senator from Illinois proposed the Missouri
restriction, and it is but fitting that an Illinois
Senator, (Mr. Douglas) should propose its repeal.]
— Eds. Courier.
Mr. Barbour, of Virginia, moved to amend by
fixing the 40th degree of north latitude. Nega
tived.
Finallly, on the 17th February, 1860, the ques
tion was taken on the amendment of Mr. Thomas,
in the following words :
“ And be it further enacted, That in all that terri
tory ceded bv France to the United States, under
the name of Louisiana, which lies north of thirty
six degrees thirty minutes north latitude except
ing only such part thereof as is included within
the limits of the State contemplated by this set,
slavery and involuntary servitude, otherwise than
in the punishment of crimes whereof the party
shall have been duly oonvicted, shall be and is
hereoy forever prohibited: Provided, always,
That any person escaping into the same from whom
labor or service is lawfully claimed in any State
or Territory of the United States, such fugitive
may be lawfully reclaimed, and conveyed to the
pereon claiming his or her labor or service as,
aforesaid.”
On the adoption of this amendment the question
was taken by yeas and nays, and deter mned in
the affirmative, as follows:
For the Amendment : Messrs. Brown, Burnll,
Dana, Dickerson, Eaton, Edwards, Horsey, Hunter,
Johnson of Kentucky, Johnson of Louisiana,
King of Alabama, King of New York, Lannman,
Leake, Lloyd, Logan, Lowrie, Mellon, Morril,

Dvke, Walker of Alabama, Williams of Tennessee,
Wilson—B4.
Against the Amendment: Messrs. Barbour,
Elliott, Gaillard, Macon, Noble, Pleasants, Smith,
Taylor, Walker of Georgia, Williams of Mis
sissippi—lo."
Alter an ineffectual motion of Mr. Trimble, of
Kentucky, to bring the north line of the State of
Missouri about half a degree south of the line pro
posed, with a view to give Missouri a share of the
fine valley of the Des Moines, the question was
taken on ordering the bill, as amended, to be en
grossed and read a third time by the following
vote.
Agee. —Messrs. Barbour, Brown, Eaton, Ed
wards, Elliott, Gaillard, Horsey, Hunter, Johnson
of Kentucky, Johnson of Louisiana, King of Ala

of New York, Lanaman, Lowrie, Macon, Mellec,
Morril, Noble, Otis, Palmer, Koberts, Buggies,

son—2o.
So the bill was ordered to be engrossed and read
a third time to morrow.
Mr. Macon, of North Carolina, and Mr. Smith of
South Carolina, were the only Southern members
who voted against this clause.
Febbuabt, 18. —In the Senate the bill for the
admission of Maine into the Union was read a
third time as amended, (by incorporating therein
the provisions respecting a State Government for
Missouri) was passed, and sent to the House of
Representatives for concurrence.
February 88.—In the House of Bepresentatives
a motion was made to disagree to the Senate’s
’ amendment for uniting the two bills (Maine and
Missouri) and carried—yeas 98, nays 78.
On the question of disagreeing to the Benete’s
ninth amendment (that of restricting slavery north
of 36 deg. 80 min., except within the State es Mis
souri,) the vote was in the affirmative—yeas 15$,
nays 18.
The result of several days’ labor was a total
1 disagreement between the two Houses, both in re
' gard to the restriction on Missouri and the restric
-1 tion north of 86 deg. 80 min. The Senate had re
• fused to recede from its amendments.
F*bi:uabt,2B. —The Senate was about to adjourn
when the Clerk of the House of Bepresentatives
F presented himself at the door, with a message «w
‘ the House of Bepresentatives had insisted on their
9 disagreement to the amendments the Senate to the
• Maine bill.
Mr. Thomas then moved that a committee of
- conference be appointed tooonfer with the House
t of Bepresentatives on tbs subject,
i Hereupon a warm debate took place. Mr. King
1 of Alabama, and Mr. Smith were in favor ofedh£
,f rence, which forecloses conference ; Mr. King of
e New York, spoke in explanation; and Messrs,
o Barbour, Thomas, Johnson, of Kentucky, Lowrie.
r Morril, Dana, Eaton, Maoon, and Meilen, success
y sively supported the oonferenee. The debate ra
ti suited in this : that s motion for deterring the
question was negatived, and the Senate voted,
not without opposition, but without dividing to
i, request a conference with the House of Bepre
. aentatives.
The Senate then ballotted for managers thereof
® on their part; and Mr. Thomas, Mr. Pinckney,
and Mr. Barbour were duly elected.
Fksbcaby, 29.—1 n the House the 'question on
disagreeing to the Senate’s amendment*, the first
eight sections of the Maine bill, conneotuig Missou
ri, was taken and carried—yeas 97, nr r 78.
And the ninth section, limiting to 86
deg. 80 min. was also disagreed to—l® to 14.
So the House insisted on its disagrajaeot to the
whoie of the Senate’s amendments to the Maine
hill.
On motion of Mr. Holmes, the eonfc cnee, pro

So the House concurred in the amendment of the
Senate to the bill.
Thus the exciting question was ended for the
scsison, and the bill authorizing the people ofMis
souri to form a Constitution for a State Govern
ment, became a law, on the 6tb Maroh, 1820.
The bill torthe admission of Maine became a law
on the 8d March, 1820, to lake effect from the 16th
of the same month.
[lt will be seen that Mr. Clay had no more agen
cy in this compromise than any other member
who voted for it. He had earnestly opposed the
restriction on Missouri, as had Mr. Randolph, Mr.
P. P. Barbour, and Mr. A. Smyth of Virginia; Mr.
Reid of Georgia; Mt. Pinokney and Mr. Lowndes,
of South Carolina; Mr. Baldwin,of Pennsylvania,
and other eminent members.
In the Senate the restriction was advocated by
Mr. Robert*, of Pennsylvania, Mr. King, of New
York, Mr. Otis, of Massachusetts, and other prom
inent Senators; and it was opposed by Mr. Bar
boor. of Virginia, Mr. Johnson, if Kentucky, Mr.
Pinokney, of Maryland, and My. Smitn, ot South
Carolina, aud others.]
lit Second MWeourl Compromise.
In the Constitution formed by Missouri there S
was a clause requiring the Legislature to pass •*
laws prohibiting the emigration of free people of *
color into the State; and this restriction opened 1
up the question, and produced resistance to her \
admission. ,
On the Md November, 1826, in the House of ,
Bepresentatives Mr. Lowndes,of South Carolina, J
from the seleot committee to whom was referred ‘
the Constitution formed for their government by ’
the people of the State of Missc uri, made a report, j
concluding with a joint resolution, “that the State '
of Missouri shall be and is hereby declared to be, {
one of the United States of America, aud is admit- .
ted into the Union on an equal,footing with the ,ori- •
ginal States in all respects whatever." .
On the 29th of November, 1820, a similar resolu- '
tion was reported to the Senate from a select com
mittee, and it was subsequently passed and Bent ’
to the House of Bepresentatives. ,
On the 29th of January, 18S1, on motion of Mr. ,
Clay, the House went into Copnnittee of the W hole
on the resolution from the Senate for admitting ,
Missouri into the Union, with n caveat against the ,
Srovison, if there be any, which conflicts with the ,
onstitution of the UnitedStgtes. >
On the 22d of February the resolutions was fur ,
ther considered, and after much discussion, Mr. \
Clay moved the appointment <jf a committee of tbir- ]
teen to consider the Senate’s resolution; and, this
being agreed to the following gentlemen weie ap
pointed the oommittee, viz.
“Messrs Clay of Kentucky, Enstis of Massachu- ]
setts. Smith of Maryland, Serjeant of Pennsylva- |
nia, Lowndes of South Carolina, Ford of New York ,
Campbell of Ohio, Archer of Virginia, Hackley of
New York, 8. Moore of Pennsylvania, Cobb of <
Georgia, Tomlinson of Connecticut, and Butler of
New Hampshire."
On the 10th of February Mr. Clay, from tho
above oommittee, made a report for the admission
of Missouri into the Union. This report was in
tended toooviate the difficulties caused by the re
striction in the constitution of Missouri, aud Mr.
Clay earnestly invoked a spirit of harmony and
concession.
The resolution attached to this report was reject
ed by the House by a vole of SO to 88.
Febbuabt 18.— A motion wca made to reconsid
er the vote rejecting the resolution; and, after a
long debate, it was agreed to, 101 to 66.
Upon the question of agreeing to the resolution
much opposition was manifested. Mr. Clay made
an earnest speech of an hour, reasoning, remon
strating, and entreating that the House would set
tle the question.
The vote on ordering the resolution to be en
grossed was then taken, and decided in the nega
tive; Yeas 82, nays 88.
Frbuabt 22. —In the House Mr. Clay moved the
appointment of a committee, to act with one from
the Senate, to consider and report in regard to the
admission of Missouri. Agreed to, 101 to 55.
The following gentlemen were elected the com
mittee on the part of the Hou?e, as follows:

In the Senate, on the 24th of February, 1821, on
the announcement of a message that the Honae
had appointed a committee of conference, Mr.
Smith, of South CaroUM, opposed it, and Mr.
Barbour, of Virginia, and Mr. Holmes, of Maine,
supported it. The Senate concurred bj a vote of

26th February. 1881, Mr. Clay, from the
joint oommittee, reported ajoint resolution for the
admission of the State of Mvmoun, upon condition
that the restrictive cleoee in her constitution should
never be so construed as to authorize the parage
of any law by which any <nti»n of any other State
shall he excluded from the enjoyment of any of the
i privileges and immunities to which such is
i entitlMtmder the Cowtitation of the United
States. [This resolution is Minted below.]
r Mr. Clay briefly explained the views of the oom-
I mittee and the considerations which induced
them to report the resolution. He considered this
. reacdutian aabeing the SMnein effect as that which
• had been previously reported by the
f mittee of thirteen members; and stated that the
. oommittee on the part of the Senate wae unaw

The Cashier of tbo Bank of America m New
York, in reply to a letter of inquiry from this De
partment, gives the amount of bonds of tbe State
of Kentucky, held by foreigners as $1,200,000.
Winslow, Lanier & Co., of New York, stato, in
reply to a letter of inquiry, that “it will be very
difficult for us to say where the State securities
are held, whether in Europe or in this country, yet
we can near it sufficiently so, perhaps, for your
purposes: Ist. As to the debt, of Georgia, lully
three fourths of it is held in Europe; 2d. Ten
nessee, over one half held in Europe; Bd. Michi
gan, more than two thirds held in Europe, chiefly
in Holland; 4th. Noith Carolina, mostly held in
Europe, or at least over one-half; sth. Alabama,
more than two thirds held abroad; 6lh. Ken
tucky, about one half held abroad; 7th. Missis
sippi, all held abroad, mostly in Holland; Bth.
Illinois, three-fourths held abroad; 9th. Ohio,
two-thirds held abroad; 10th. Indiana, fully three
fourths held abroad; 11th. California, mostly
held in this country.
If these returns be substituted for those given
in this table, the total of State bonds held by fo
reigners residing beyond the limits of the United
States will be about one hundred and eleven mil
- lions, without counting the Territorial bonds of
Florida, amounting to several millions, or the
arears of interest of Florida, Askaneas, Texas,
and Mississippi.
Operations of the United State* Mint.
We learn from the United States Mint that the
i deposites of gold there during the month of Feb
-1 ruary, just closed, were $2,514,000, The deposites
of the year, tbU3 far, compare with those of last
year as follows: . ..
1853. 1854.
January $4,962,962 $4,215,579
February • 8,584,528 2,514,000
Total in 2 months $8,511,865 $6,729,679
The fhlling off from last year, owing to the se
verity of the rainy reason in California, is quite
large, but it will probably be made up in future
supplies. The following is a detailed statement of
the deposits and coinage of the mint for Febru
ary:

small, when compared with those of the same pe
riod last year, they are still for in excess of the
exports of specie. The whole export of specie
sinoe January Ist, has not been more than three
millions, while the receipts of gold dust have been
nearly seven millions.— Phila. Bulletin.
Mississippi Bxpcdiatiom.— The value of slave
property in Mississippi is estimated at $250,000,-
000, reckoning the number at 800,000, and the av
enge value SBOO each. The Natchez Courier, on
these foots, remarks:
“What a commentary upon these estimates is
presented in the simple fact of a State with such
an aggregate of one particular species of property,
continuing to repudiate her obligations, decided
by her own highest tribunals of justice to have
been constitutionally issued and to be binding
opon her! And what a farther commentary upon
her refusal to provide for the , svmant of the
Planter’s Bapk Bonds, is to be found in the fact
that her S ate offloers propose, and her Legislature
secedes to, the taking of the very funds paid into
her Treasury for those Bonds, to defray her daily
txpenaes,"

The Arabs.
Bayard Taylor, Esq., delivered a lecture in New
York, upon “The Arabs,’’ before the members of
the Mechanio’s Society and a large audience. He
spoke in substance as follows: Those who have
only associated with their own race have but little
knowledge of the human character. The human
race is capable of great varieties. It is indisputa
ble that the man who livee among mountains has a
native freedom in his air. The brine of the ocean
sticks to the mariner. So inevitably does man
partake of his native climate, that we ask whether
it is possible to judge all men by the same moral
sUndard. This should teaoh us charity to all.
No people have suffered more than the Arabs from
one-sided judgment. We have been taught to
consider them as an outoast race, whose hands are
against every man and every man's hand against
them. The Arab of our school-boy daysisaiieroe
being, with a oiinotar in his hand, ever ready,to do
the work of death. Burkhart and Layard claim
our respect, as tbe only travellers who associated
and fraternized with this people, In their steps I
followed, and never treated them as enemies. I
learned to love 'hem aud desired to be their advo
cate. To know tho Arabs, one must know tho
East.
The intensity of the sunshine is reproduced in
the Arab eye—the aimoou ia a terrible symbol of
those gusts of wrath which desolate the human
sonl. Luxury and indolenoe are their character
istics as well as fiery tempers, and we are ot a loss
to reconcile the one with the other. Our sky,
bright as it is, ib not to be comparod with that of
the East. Alter fifty days ot desert travel, I left
it fascinated with tho variety of its scenes. In its
solitude it resembles the oeeau; but it ia sweot
aud refreshing. Providence leaves none of the
desert places of the earth without some atonlug
quality. God has breathed upon the doaert his
sweet and cleansing breath. I could trace out
many points of resemblance between the Bailor
and Bedouin, Each are free nnd roving in their
tastes. Among either you will rarely find a cow
ard.
I prefer here speaking of the Wandering Arab
asa type of tbe race. The Arab dialect in which
the Koran is written, ia still spoken in its pristine
purity in Aigris around Mecca. The Arab is
*>«»**( psis siren of honor im-promdudiie-
He is devoted to tbe musos. I nave no duub
that Christian knights first loarned their sense of
honor aud chivalry among tho Saruoetts at the
time of the causades. The law of pro eotion is
held in as much respect as in the Koran. The
pride of the Arab is his birthright, and dignity is
his natural manner. The Arab is generous, and
his hospitality is universal—the guest confers uu
honor upon his host, and the namu ot stranger ia
sacred. The reoords of generosity among tbe
eurlier Arabs, seem almost fabulous to those who
are unacquainted with the race. Mabommed is a
fair example. Mr. Taylor related here several an
ecdotes of tbe gonerosity of the Arabs.
He proceeded to say that the deoliuoof Eastern
commerce has taken from tbe race the woallh it
onoe possessed, and though instances ot magnani
mous generosity were difficult to find now, yet the
spirit still remains. Tboagh fierce by nature and
revengefal, tho Arub ia not ornol or bloodthirsty.
As a simple enemy, be is chivalrous and humu. o
but as an avenger, he is terrible in the last degree.
The meaner crime of stealing is rare among the
Aruba, and though it is allowed umougsnme tribes
yetdetection is always followed by punishment.
Their greatest Irailties are cheating and lying, but
they seem to look upon these as an amusement.
As this propensity is one of tho first to strike a
stranger, many travellers go home under very er
roneous impressions of the people. They lie gen
erally through malice, carelessness, and the nat
ural tendency to exaggeration, which is charac
teristic of the Arab tongue—aud tbiß latter is al
most universal. It is a language of roots, and
abounds in bold and brilliant images. The Arab
tongue belongs to the ohiidhood of tbe world.—
When I oommenojd to con verso in Arabic, l found
the habit of exaggeration growing fast upon me;
but lam happy to say that with tho loss of tho
language the power of veracity has returned, and
lam now striotly Bpeaking the truth, it would
require a seperale lecture to treat upon the litera
ture of thq Arabs. I would only suy a few words
on this branch of my subjeet.
The ear of tbe Arab is delicately sonsitive to
the rythm and melody of poetry, whioh with us
is only appreciated by highly cultivated minds.
The works of Arab poets display daring flights of
imagination. The songs of the Arabs aro wild
and full of monotonous cadenooa. The boatmen
of the Nile even laugh in unison—their songs aro
like the notes of the nightingale. Fainting and
sculpture aro unknown, but the arohitcot'iro of
the Saracens can display as glorious remnants as
those of Greek or Roman art. Like all imagina
tive people, the Arabs aro superstitious. All oo
ourrences out of the ordinary course of nature are
asoribod to the genii. Many of the simpler peo
ple believe that an echo ia the voice of a fiend
mocking them. They believe that tbe spirit of
murdered people haunt the places whore they
lived. Finally I must allude to the most promi
nent trait in the Arab character—his dovotion to
God, and biß unbounded I'uith in Frovidenoe.—
Religion is a vital power with him, whioh leaves
itß impress <fh his whole spiritual being. There
ia as much sincere religious feoling among the
people, as a race, as among Christians. The Arabs
are not intolerant. Among the Turks there is
muoh less tolerance. Tbe latter are far below the
former in morality and hospitality. The subjec
tion of the Arabs to tho Diviuo will is not fatalism;
it is the resignation whioh controls after the blow
is struck. Fatienco and resignation are the great
lessons of the East, and wo might study and boni
fit by it.

New Reason for an Ruropean War—Fear* or the
United Btatee. \
A late number of the North British Review, in
examining the Eastern Question and its political
contingencies, anticipates amongst other probable
results, that: If England and France withdraw
from the alliance, the people of the United States
will seize upon the opportunity, and by taking
aides with Turkey seouro such commercial ad
vantages as to render their rivalry atlti nrare
troublesome to the ex-empress or the Ocean. We
extract the portion of the article referred to, that
our readers may see the ignorance of our sooial
condition whioh it displays, as well as the just
compliment to our national character wrung from
an antagonist by the exigencies of his argument.—
Savannah Republican.
“The Americans, as is well known, have no
special liking for the Kussians; they are jealous
of Great Britain; they have had more than one
‘ tiff ’ with Austria; they are deeply interested in
the gallant struggle whioh Turkey is now making
for her independence; and above all thov sympa
thise warmly and enthusiastically with the Hun
garians, and ure fully aware how closely Magyar
and Ottoman interests are bound up together,
They long for an opportunity of striking a blow
against despotism, and on behalf of republican
institutions; they are full of zeal lor the spread
of liberty and popular rule throughout Europo;
and, imagining they have a 1 misa’oir to fulfil,
they believe that a more just, glorious, and hope
ful opportunity was never presented to them than
the present. The retirement of Eng and and
France from tho scene, to leave Turkey to such
fate as her own unuided resouroes could command,
would probably be the signal for the immodiute
interference of our Transatlantic brethren, not
perhaps us a nation, but us volunteers If Hun
gary wero to rise; their intervention would be
certain; and Hungary would rise if Amorican aid
were known to be at hand. Wo can state posi
tively that men, money, and arms are all ready
waiting and anxious lor an opening. The whole
nation, us is well known (and tho government of
the U< ited States must soon follow the nation,)
is longing to obtain a footing iu the arona of
European polities; and Turkey abandoned by her
old allies, and left to the mercy of the great despot
of the world, would offer too tempting, tto hon
orable and too just an occasion to be neglected.
Nor could we say them nay; we have pronounced
Knssia to be wrong, and we could not interfere to
prevent assistance being offered to the right. And
we may bo well assured that if tbe Americana did
oome upon the stage, their proceedings would be
conducted in a very different mode, and guided
by a very different spirit from our sornpulous and
timid polloy—always hampered by traditional
ideas, always bound down to official forms, always
restrained by the tear »f too signal asneoess, al
ways confused, thwarted, and enteebled by ulte
rior considerations. Now, should we be wise to
throw open to the United States sUch an honour
able opportunity for becoming an European Pow
er, for planting a republican flag in the Medit
eranean, for doing a duty from which we have
shrunk, for reaping glory which ought to have
been ours I We are accustomed to speak of the
Americans asa commercial poople, alwayscounting
the cost, governed exclusively by the “ almighty
dollar.” This it not so. Numbers among them
have more wealth than they they oan use, and
long only for distinction. As a poople they are
essentially ambitious, propagandists, and vain
glorious ; military fame, it has long been seen,
is the road to high office and to public es
timation ; and the admiral, the geneneral, avo
or the private individual who should plant the
national flag on the batteries of Sebastopol, or
drive tho Kussians out of Bucharest, would, beyond
all question, find the Presidential ohair ready
cushioned for him when he returned home. Nor
would their success bo very doubtful. They are
the best sailors in tbe world, and among the hard
est soldiers; they oould soon get together u navy
powerful enough to destroy that of Russia; they
have boundless wealth and would notspare it were
the national zeal onoe fairly roused: and, #8 we
onco before remarked, they present the most for
midable combination of qualities whioh it is pos
sible to encounter—the utmost hardihood of sav
age life with the most unbounded resources of
civilization and science. We ought to curb and
baffle Russia, therefbre, if only to anticipate Ame
rica in doing so.
A Remedy job Dbcnxbnness.— The London
Spectator mentions a curious remedy now in use
in Swedish hospitals, for that form of madnesa
which exhibit* itself in an uncontrollable appetite
for elcoholio stimulants. The procees is thus de
scribed :
We will suppose that the liquor whioh the pa
tient is addicted to drinking, is the commonest in
the country—Bay gin. When he enters the hos
pital for treatment, he is snppiied with his favo
rite drink, and with norther, if anything else is
given to him or any other food, it is flavored with
gin. He is in Heaven—tbe very atmosphere is
redolent of his favorite perfume! His room is
scented with gin; his "bed clothes everything
aronnd him; every monthful he eats or drinks,
everything he touches; every zephyr, that steals
in to his room, brines to him still gin. He begins
to grow tired of it-begins rather to wish for some
thing else— begins to find the oppression intolera
ble-hates it—cannot bear the sight or seent of it
—longs for emancipation, and is at last emancipa
ted' be issues into the fresh air a cured man;
dreading nothing so much as a return of that loath
ed persecutor which would not leave him an hour’s
rest in h's confinement. “This remedy,” says ona
contemporary, “appear* to have been thoroughly
effectual—so effectual, that persons who deplored
their uncontrollable propensity, have petitioned
for admission to the hospital in order to be enred;
and they have been cared.

Th« Recent Pre.bet—Duue to (be Cherokee
Marble Work..
Among the numerous incident, which occurred
during the recent freshet, none hare come to the
writer a Knowledge of more thrilling interest than
the aocount of the destruction of the Works of
Messrs Rankin <fc Co., given by an ere witness.
It seems that the buildings, oonsiiiting of a mill,
some three or four workshop*, with the dwelling
house and other appendages wore loo*ted in a
corner, around which the Long Swump Creek
made an abrupt tarn or elbow, the pond extend
ing directly past the dwelling house, stables &0.,
for about a quarter of a mile up tho creek. About
twelve o’clock on Saturday night tho 25th ult., tho
noise ot the swollen stroami, as it came tumbling
and foaming down the mountains, attracted the
attention ot some of the household, who, upon go
ing out found the water breaking over the em
bankment just above the bouses. This, being a
common oocurrenoe during heavy rains excited no
unnsual alarm, more than causo frequent inspec
tion of its progress. In a short time it was found
that the current swollen to a turbulent stream, was
underuiing the corn-orib amksmoke house, and in
ton minutes both were swept awny, with provi
sions to the value of about 1,500 dollars. The wa
gon of Mr. W oil, the well-known pedler, which
had been made fast to the crib a few minutes be
fore, was swept away, and with its contents, con
sisting of goodato tho value of over a thousand
dollars, was washed down the creek, snd broken
to pieces. Iu ten minutes the current had swept
under the office, and almost before the men, who
were oollected in it, could have time to escape it
was swept away.
It was now determined that the ladies and chil
dren, consisting of the family of Mr. Snmmey,
one of the proprietors, and Miss Watson, u young
lady from Cantou, must be removed to eater quar
tern. And here it was a question wueihcr . ei.io
val werosufer than tomnsiu, Mrs. Bnnuney being
dangerously ill, and the whole vicinity oovor id
wi h water—while the rain poured dowu in tor
rents. But no time was to be lost, snd as Mrs. 8.
was borne from tho house, tho chimney fell, and a
part of the kitoheu went rushing dowu tho tide.
Imagine the oouditiou oi that party, consisting of
.some tllVen persons, thus iu a brief hour Uiroan
frp'n tanoied. sa a how
and at every step, logs, branches ot trees su'd' fJn- '
oiugoauie surging past, rendering more precaii- *
ous each uncertain toot hold. The whole region
wt.s one turbid, whirling, rushing tide, the only
indication of land being lront tho tops of tt.o
white marble slabs standing upright against the
shops, dimly seen through the black dirianca.
Hither the men boro Mm. Bumrney and linding a
small spot of terra liruta,she was wrapped aa se
curely as possible iu blankets, while efforts were
made to secuie tho children arid negroes, who
were ad safely brought to this elevated spot. At
this point tho rain subsided, the wators com
menced falling, uud the hope of safe escape -earned
probable. But here it was found that the simps
one at or another, were giving way just hofoic,
while the new channel in tho rear wsh every mo
ment makiug frightful inroads upon the httlo
island of sund which was their only security.
Escape was out of tho question, for the old chan
nel in front was one heaving mass ol mat bio slabs,
rocks and broken timbers, while in the rear ti o
black darkness revealed nothing but a sweeping
tide. Inch by iuoh and foot by foot they gave
buck before the moreiloss waters, until the tree
beneath which they had felt secure at first, was
borne away, and but a few square tent remained
to keep thorn from a watery gravo. The suspense
was terrible at this juncture. The men, but four
in number, could devise no moans of escape, in
deed to bear tho cliildion and Mrs. 8. in their
arms, and thus keep them from tho ynwuiug wa
ters, was all they had lime to do. To jump in,
and each attempt to bear one away, hazarded the
lifo of those they left behind, lor the little spot on
which they stood was tho only one where they
oould hope to bo secure.
Hero da>hght broke in, and the attention of Mr.
J. Eubanks and others in tbo neighborhood was
attracted, who secured a boat, and relieved them
from tbe terrible spot, which in a short time must
have boen their grave.
The kind attention of Judge Griffin and Col.
Tate, who inslstod on receiving the sufferers into
their families, was highly appreciated, ami we are
happy to learn that Mrs. 8., who was thought to be
at the point of death on the day previous, is ra
pidly recovering.
Tho loss of the Company is estimated at (5,000.
Os Mr. Weil, over (600.
Tho writer learns that two other mills of the
Company, oue five miles above, and the other a
mile below the Works, escaped serious damage,
und that tlioy will be able with littlo indulgence, to
fill all orders for marble. Finished tombs &c., to
the value of (2,000 wore swopt away and broken
to pieces; but tho largo Bupply on hand at Mari

The Largest Cannon In the World.
Amidst the objects ot curiosity preserved at
Bejapoor, is a large gun, formed of a mixed metul,
oi which there is said to bo Borne portion of gold;
and a very considerable quantity of silver. The
weight ie forty tons, and it ib allowed to be the
largest pieoe of ordnanoo, of the same description
In the world. This splendid gnn was tho work of
Chuelby Roomy Khan, an officer in tho Bervlce of
Hoosßom Nizam Blue, at Ahmudnnggur. The
mould in which it wus cost is Btill in existence,
and lies neglected in tho garden of the tomb of
the founder, which has been converted into quar
ters for an English Officer. This gun is supposed
to have been taken in 1682, by Ally Abdil Bliah;
and many persons who vtait Bejapoor, regret that
sneb a splendid specimen of the art ot cannon
tont.ding in India, at the distance of three hun
dred yenrs, snonld be allowed to romain neglected
on the dilapidated wulla of a city so little known
as Bejapoor, instead of being placed in some con
spicuous sitnation in England, where it would at
tract the admiration of the whole of Europo.
Others are of opinion that wo shonld commit an
; act more worthy of a, despot than a generous con
queror, in adorning bnFcapital wini'the spoim of
foreign countries; ami are better pleased that tbe
gun should remain surrounded by buildings oo
evttl with itsolf, and associated with its history.
There can be no doubt that tho loss of this gun
would inflict the deepest sorrow and mortification
upon tho native inhabitants of Bejapoor, who,
both Moslem and Hindoo, npproaoli it with great
reverence, paying almost divine honor to u power
whioh inspires them with awe and vonoration.
It is styled Mulick ul Mcidan, sovereign of the
plain ; and English officers visiting Bijapoor hnvo
seen with surprise the natives advance towards it
with joined hands, and devotion in their e:>un
tenances. One of those gentleman observed that
while flowors wore strewed on the boro, the fore
part of tbe muzzle was smeared with cinnabar r.ml
oil, and there were marks as well a« odors of late
ly burned porfumes, which plainly indicated that
an offering had boon made to the spirit in
iho warlikeshriuo. Tho gun is enriched within,
soriptions and- devices, in the florid style wh.cn
characterizes oriental embellishments of this na
ture; the portions not thus ornamented present a
surface so smooth and polished as to be absolutely
slippery: and the sonorous sound of the moral
proves the large portion of silver of which it is
composed.
it is a common practice among young European
officers, to effect an entrance through the tnoulh
of this enormous piooe of ordnanoo, tho interior
being furnished with a scut for their accommoda
tion; it will contain five personsepriihout much
crowding; but the oocupants, while enj vine
themselves in their shady retreat, arc oft. n cj cud
by a very summary process. Some mischievous
wight on the outside moves the rings, striking tho
gun. The sound produced is tremondons, and the
vibratiousso d.sf reusing, that cut comes the whole
if they wore shot. On tho visit of Bir
John Maleom, daring the period of his Vioeroy-
Bhip at Bombay, tho Saltnrah Rajah, who holds
the surrounding territories under ihe British Gov
ernment, direotod that this gun should be fired
off as an appropriate salute. Though not charged
with more than half the weight of powder which
its chambor could contain, tho concussion waa
awful; it shook many of tjie buildings to their
foundations, and the terrified inhabitants, as its
reverberations rolled along, expected to see the
domes and towers, survivors oi former shocks,
come tiimbliug about their cars. It is said by the
natives, that Mulick ul Mcidsti had a sister of
Bimilar size, named Kurk o Bidgte, thunder and
lightning, and that it was oarried to Poouah. No
trace, however, remained of this less fortunate
camion, if it ever existed, which is doubtful, it
must have been melted down long ag*. A model
of the sovereign of tho plain, has been brought to
England, and forms a part of a very noble coiloo
tion of curiosities in tho possession of an officer
of the Bombay army.— Col. ,Sykes Report on the

> Penobscot river during the last autumn, and up
1 to the present time. At a locality About a inile
' above Project Ferry, and within about a hnn-
I dred rods of the Project ride, where the nyer
i widens into a sort of anchoring J-ound being
I nearly a mile across, some time about the first of
Seotember, there was discovered to be a violent
saltation of the water so that the surfooe was
much disturbed, and atones and dirt were thrown
' __ f roin the bottom. This up-boiling has coutin
ned at intervals, up to this time. Observations
show that over at least an acre, the depth of the
water has increased from seven to fouit ugi fath
oms. A gas is emitted from the water tboThas the
smell of sulphur, or as if some substance of na
ture was burning beneath. Also, we ar i.y .rtned
that during t e latter part of autumn, < t tinct
.-books of an earthquake occurred iu th “v unity.
The-e singular manifestations have attracted much
attention. The “advent” people in the lieinity
regard it as a sure prognostic of the final dtstruo
tion of all things, snd without doubt think that
tbe bottomless pit cannot be far off. People of
better sense regard it aa a phenomenon of a vol
canic nature, but singular enough in this latitude.
