NOTICE TO BRIDGE BUII DEES AND CONTRAC
TORS.
BHIUUK Builders and Contractors take notice that a
ch tnge has been made iu the plan of building the
Causeway and Bridges across Ogeechee Swamp on the road
leading from Louisvi leto Mllledgeville.
The CommissioiiL-rs, after mature deliberation and con
sulta ion,have determined to alter the plan of bui'ding
both Bridges and Causeway, and in lieu of the plan as
heretofore published, the followingone is substituted :
Sealed proposals will be received until the 29 h day of
APRIL next, for building Bridges at d Causeway acrors the
Bw«imp of the Great Ogeechee, on the road leading from
LouisvilletoMiUedgevllle The Contracts for building the
Bridges and Causeway will be let separately, and the per
son making the lowest bid for the Causeway, and bidding
os low as any other person for the Bridging, will be preferr
ed, and the same rule will be regarded in the bidding for
the Bridges.
The fO' lowing is the plan of building tho Bridges There
are to be six Bridges in the Swamp, located at such places
and distances as will be designated by the Commissioners
aud to be of the following length and structure:
'1 he first Bridge adjoining the old one scross the river,
and extending 200 feet; se ond Bridge 82 feet inletgth;
third 15<* feet long fourth Bridg •82 feet long; fifth Bridge
100 feet long ; sixth Bridge 82 feet in length; making in
ail 540 feet of Bridging in length. All these Bridges are
tobubui taft r the iol owing plan and specifications
Each Bridge is to be 16 feet wide, the posts are to be 10
inches square of heart Pine, there are to be six sleepers s o
each arch, each sleeper to be 8 by 12 inches; the arches
are not to exceed 2« feet in length or distance; there are
to be 8 posts for ea«h arch, and to be driven ; Cap-sills to
be 10 by 12 inches; the flooring to be of heart plank, 2 by
10 wile ; each Bridge is io be banistered with scantling 4
by 0 inches; the railing to be mortised, and to have a
conter post for each rail. The posts of the hand rails are to
rest on scantling 8 by 6 inches and extending 2 feet over,
and are to be braced.
The Causeway will be 800 yards, more or less, to be
builtia conne tion with the Bridges. It will be 18 feel on
lop when finished It must be built of logs and dirt. The
upper or west side of the Causeway must be covered with
dl tat least 8 feet deep. The building of the Causeway
will be let by the cubic yard, and both the contract for
Bridgit.g and building the Causeway, must be completed by
the Ist day of January next. . . .
The 0 .mml.-Stoners desire to inform those who.l nitend
bidding for theße contracts, that as to the height of the
Causeway or Bridge*, they are not prepared to say deflni e
ly but from the estimate now made by them, the average
hei htof the Causeway will be about 7 feet, perhaps a
little more—the Bridges will be of a corresponding height.
Bond and security will be required of (he contractor for
the faith.ul performa ice of the contract < n his part—far
ther, that timber may be obtained on these terms, vix: the
contractormsy use sucht’ees as may be necessary, and
the price, if not agreed upon between the contractor and
owner, may be settled by arbitration—the contractor
choo«iug one, the owtit r another, and in case of their disa
greement, they may chovse a third man, which shall settle
the price. As to the dirt necess try, n > charging will be
made, if taken Along the line of the causeway.
The Commissioners are authorised to cay, that S7OO has
been placed at the disposal of the Commissioners, to be
advauced during the progress of the work, at such times
and in such sums as they may think p oper, and at the
completion of the work SI2OO m .re shall be paid, and the
balance due will be paid at the earliest oouveuience of the
Court. The remaining unpaid portion bearing interest at
the legal rate.

of either the Bridge or Causeway, can obtain it by address

Facts Belatitk to the Manueactcbe or Salt.—
In compliance with a resolution adopted by the
llouae of Bepreeentativee on the 14th December
1658, tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury transmitted to
that body a report, from which we make up the
following statistics of the Dumber of salt mann
factoriw, and the amount of capital invested in
them.
It appears from the ceDsas report of 1850, tbst
the number of salt manufactories in this country,
whose annual product is SSOO and upwards in
value is 889. They are distributed as follows:
Maine i.sb S establishments, value of product
per annum, |9,T00. Massachusetts has 9; capital
invested $10,400; value of product, $98,850. Con
necticut has 1; capital $4,000; value, $5,600.
New York has 192: capital, $819,950; value of
product, $998,815. Pennsylvania has 47; capital,
$168,860; value, $206,796. Virginia has 40; capi
tal, $1,269,900; value, $700,466. Florida has 1;
capital, $19,000; value of product, $6,000. Texas
has 2; capital, $3,475; value, $5,90u. Ohio has
32; capital, $188,750; value, $132,298. Kontucky
has 12; capital, $128,450; value, $57,825. Illi
nois Its 1; capital, $2,600; vulue, $6,000.
Tbe same report gives the quantity of aaU im
parted from June 1846 to June, 1858, as ts ,915,697
bushels. Foreign coat, $7,881,630. Total.gross
duties, $1,922,905 80.
Tbe average foreign cost was 11.58 cents per
bushel. Under the tariff law of 1842 salt paid duty
of 20 oents per bushel. To show the difference
of tbe operation of that law and the aot of 1846
tbe following statement is useful : From July 1 to
December 1, 1846, the quantity imported was
1,998,112 bushels, its value $210,218, and the duties
thereon, under the law of 1842, were $398,622 40.
From December 1, 1846, to June 80, 1847, the
quantity imported was 5,242,896 bushels; its
vulue, $688,289; the duties on it, under the law
of 1846, were $186,657 80.
Sensible.— The St. Louie (No.) Republican in
noticing the intention of a friend to issue a new
weekly paper in that State at one dollar per
annum, inakee the following sensible remarks:
Wo may be allowed to say, price ia the
only thing about the proposed paper that we ob
ject to. It is not a living price, and the more sub
scribers a paper gets at this rate, the poorer the
proprietor is likely to be in tho end. It will not
nett more than 5 or 10 cts. profit on a year's sub
acription, and this on the supposition that all who
subscribe pay up promptly, whicli is never the
case. Why has it become necessary to cheapen
tho value of a printer’s labor, when every other
occupation is so conducted as to have a substantial,
fixed profit—aud prices ere mad ' to go up, instead
of being put down 1 Who is there that works as
many hours, or as unceasingly, or so much for the
benefit of the community, and of every valuable
public and private enterprise! Who is called
upon to make as many sacrifices of time, labor
and convenience! Who so often takes the lead
inall just, noble and philanthropic efforts, and this
from an honest and correct impulse, and without
the hope or expectation of reward? And yet,
with a proper conception of the important relation
which they hold to the public, they have been
going on, from year to year, to cheapen tho publi
cation of nowspaperH, and ofoourse to lossen tbeir
efficiency, until they have placed the subscription
at a price which leaves no margin for profit, ortho
support of tho establishment. They may con
tinue to make a living—for they seem to have, in
too many instances, a wonderful faculty of living
on nothing—but it is neither doing justice to
thcmseivos nor the community in which they per
form so important an office, unnecessarily aud
uselessly to undervalue their labor.
Kossuth and Georoi Sanders.— Kossuth has
addressed a letter to the Gormans in the United
States in relation to the rejection of Mr. George
Sanders by the Senate. He lectures the Senate
for this act, over which the “despotical cabinets”
of Europe are in high spirits, and "consider it as a
practical retraotion and an eclatant revocation of
tho principles contained in the Inaugural Address
of the President, and the Koszta note.” He hopes,
however, that the Germans will “so work in the
press, as well as by meeliDg, in such way that the
will of the poople may manifest itself, and that the
severe blow struck involuntarily by tho Senato
shall be made good again, aud the sarcastio laugh
ter of the despots shall be changed into a triumph
of European republicans.” '’’his be hopes will be
done by the President again proposing Mr. San
ders and tho Senate revoking its action. The let
ter is Kossuth all out, and shows that he is as far as
ever from understanding thepublio sentiment or
the institutions of his oountry.
Mr. George Sanders also publishes a letter in the
Now York Herald commenting upon his rejection
by the Senate, which ho ascribes to the influence
of Linn Boyd. He describes the Consulate he has
lost characteristically as follows :
This effleo is, all things considered, the most de
sirablo in tho gift of the President, especially for
an active, patriotic Amerioan, who will gladly take
all tho opportunities it offers of giving his oountrv
mon information on the many important interests
centering bore and ramifying to all parts of the
world.
It is worth not loss than fifteen thousand dollars
a year. I hope the oleverert fellow in Amerioa will
get it.— Balt. Amer ■
What is Dnrr ?—Old Dr. Cooper, of South Ca
rolina, used to say to his students: “Don’t be
afraid of a little dirt, gentlemen. What is dirt?
Why, nothing at all offensive, when chemically
viewod. Bub a little alkali upon that ‘dirty grease
spot’ upon your coat and it undergoes a ohemical
ohange and becomes soap. Now rub it with a
little water and it disappears; it is neither grease,
soap, water nor dirt. ‘That is not a very odorous
fiile of dirt’ you observe there. Well, scatter a
ittle gympsum over it, and ’tls.i*'- longer dirty.
Every thing you oall dirt ie w :■ Xh >mr notice as
students of chemistry. AnaiyaelV It rill separate
into olean elements. Dirt makes corn; -orn makes
bread and meat, and that makes a very sweet
young lady that 1 saw one of you w«"e kiming laat
night. So, alter all, you were kistsii'ig dir.—par
ticularly if ehe whitened her skin With cha'% or
Fuller’s earth. There is no telling, gentlemen,
wbat is dirt, though I may say, rubbin z such stuff
upon tho beautiful skin of a young lady, is a dirty
practice. Pearl powder, I think, is mode of bis
muth—nothing but dirt.”
An Impobtant Invention.— The Port Hope (Ca
nada) Guide informs us that Mr. A. H Kent, of
Newcastle Darlington claims to have effected an
important improvement in the construction of saw
mill* by which they become self setting, self-gig
ging and self regulating. He ha* put op one on a
small scale aa a model, the working or which is
said to be very satisfactory. “The machinearyis
constructed in such away that the sawyer has
nothing to do after the log is tamed down, till it
is cat up and ready to be removed. It gigs back
its own carriage and abuts off part of tbe steam
while doing so. Tbe instant tbe carriage is put
back tbe log ia removed bodily toward tba saw the
distauce of the board required, and tbe saw re
enters the log with a full head of rteam; thus it
goes backward and forward till nothing of the log
ia left but slab, when the mill stops and blows a
whistle to call back the attendant, if absent or to
awaken him ifsleeping.
Discipline.— Discipline, like the bridle in the
hand of a good rider, should exercise its influence
withont appearing to do bo ; should be active, both
as a support end a restraint, yet seem to be easily
in hand. It must always be roaiy to cheok 01
put up, as occasion may require; and only when
the horse is a runaway, should the action of the
curb be perceptible.— Anonymout.
C«i«abi3on.—Notwithstanding man’s essential
perfection ia but very little, his comparative per
fection may be very considerable. If he looks
upon himself in ao abstracted light, he has not
much to boast of; but if he considers himself with
regard to others, he may And occasions of glorying,
if not in his own virtues, at least in the absence of
another’s imperfections. This gives a different
tnru to the inflections of a wise man and a fool.
The first endeavors to shine in himself and the last
to outshine others. The first is humbled by the
sense ot his own ingrmities, the last is lifted up
by the discovery of thoee which he observes in
other men. Tbe wise man considers what he
wants and the fool what he aboands in. The wise
man is happy when he gains hie own approbation,
and the fool when he recommends himself to the
applause of those about him.— Additon.
Benton County, Ala., Lead Mlnes.—We have
already made mention of some very rich specimens
of lead ore derived from newly discovered mines
in Benton county, Alabama; and an analysis, by
Dr. K. O. Curry, CKemitt and GtoUyiU, fully con

Laurtrsm Mexico.
By tbe arrival of the steamship Tcxas, Captain
Place, which crossed the bir at 12 o’clock last
ni ffut, and reacbed her wharf shortly sfter 10
o’clock this morning, we have Dios of papers of
Mexico to the 18th insL, and from Vers Crux to
tbe 22d, the day ou which the Texas left ths latter
place.
The examination which we have boon enabled
to make of tbe papers we hsve received, in time
for this evening’s paper, does not result in the dis
covery of any intelligence of great interest or im
portance.
The Eco del Comtreio states that the condition
of Alvarez ia becoming desperate, according to all
the latest accounts which hsve been received. By
way of illustrating this fact, it relates that a petty
chief, having got together a amall body of men
with whom be proposed to join Alvarez, was in a
condition which rendered it necessary to apply to
him for a supply of "the sinews of war.” Alvarez,
however, was in no condition to comp’y, and he
could only htrrangue his friend and followers and
make great promisee for the future. These were
not snmeient te sustain their wants and views, and
therefore they disbanded.
The Trail d’ Union announces that Gen. D. Mar •
tin Coe has placed some obstacles in the way of the
continuation of tbe works on the Isthmus. It adds
that it is to be hoped that this had been caused
only by some misunderstanding which will soon
be cleared up.
Notwithstanding the reported failure of the re
bellion of Alvarez, we see it announced by the
Univenal that Sants Anna had proceeded in per
son to Guerrero. Tbe recruiting of his health is
named as one of the objects of his going thither;
but at the same time no doubt ia lelt that the real
object is that of endeavoring to pnt down Alvarez.
' The 18th inst. was celebrated with great rejoic
ings, as the anniversary of the election of Santa
Anna as President last year.
Besides Alvarez’* movement we find indications
of others progressing. A battallion of troops, the
Univ*rtal announces, while marching from More
lia tewarda Mexico, on the 25th ult., were greeted
with cries of “ Fitw la Filtration I" at a point call
ed Arroyo de la Lnna, situated between Acambaro
and Maravatio. Some of tbe meq immediately left
tbe ranks. Goroex, the'4»rty,wh*taised ths err,
was a deserter from another regiment. The greater
part of t he troop remained in their ranxs, and obe -
client to the orders of the oommander, Col. D. Luis
Bamirez, and Gomez was captured, the movement
put down, and immediately afterwards, Gomez
and another man named Hilario Jaramillo were
shot st the head of the troops. Reports are rife of
an anticipated serious insurrection throughout the
department of Michoxcan, in which these events
transpired.
Corretpondtnce of the Delta.
Veka Cboz, March 22,1854.
“ Malbrouk »’en va t’en guerre,
Mirontou, mirouton, mironton?”
Such were the warlike notes to which the great
Napoleon was wont to mount his barbed steed
when proceeding to the castigation of the enemies
of France. The “ Napoleon of the South,” having
been at length lured from his stronghold, may be
supposed to “ let himself in” to the well-known
air of •
11 Who dare.
And a who dare?”
His Serene Highness has finally left Mexico,
having proceeded to the South for the purpose
of castigating Don Juan Alvarez. There is no
doubt of the fact that Don John deserves a pretty
sound thrashing, but whether he will get it or not
remains to be seen. Tartars are unknown in the
land of Montez’imas, yet, strange to say, such a
thing as catching a Tartar is not altogether un
heard of. But to be serious.
The President left his Capital some days since,
to conduct in person the campaign so vigorously
commenced against the arch-traitor Alvarez. It is
supposed that not less 10,000 troops have preceded
their commander in chief, and the affair must
shortly prove decisive one way or the other. We
have no intelligence here as to the “ plan” of
Alvarez—or in met whether he has any plan at all
beyond hoslillizing the General Government
Since the departure of Santa Anna there is a re
port that his Ministry have urgently requested his
immediate return to the Capital. Quien sale f
In the meanwhile here we have the most exten
sive glorification. A beautiful triumphal column
in imitation of that erected by Louis Napoleon in
commemoration of the great deeds of “My
Uncle” has appeared, as by magic, in the gran
plaza.
As you are familiar with the original, I will not
weary you with a description of the imitation,
suffice it to say, that it is, or was, for it disappear
od “ like the base.ess fabric of a vision.” Yes
terday afternoon, a really beautiful and appropriate
work of art. Appropriate, since, on,three sides of
the pedestal were pictorial representations of three
of the greatest victor ies of the illustrious Chief,
viz: the demolition of the Spaniards at Tampico;
the expulsion and disgrace of the French at Vera
Cruz, and the inglorious defeat of the Americans
at Buena Vista 1 On the fourth side, was a full
length portrait of His Altesa Serenisima. By the
way, his face has grown to be strikingly like that
of Daniel Webster. The intellectual develope
mtnta are nearly the same, and who knows but
that if Santa Anna bed been born a Puritan he
would have been Daniel Webster -and if Daniel
Webster bad been born a Mexican, he would have
been Santa Anna! The speculation gives rise to
curious reflections, to say the least of it.
On theovening of Saturday, the 18th, there was
a grand illumination, fire works, music, &e., <fec., in
honor of the anniversary of His Serene Highness
to the Presidential chair. Everybody turned out
on the occasion. The column above-mentioned
was inaugurated with all due pomp. Agrand con
cert and feed was given at the palace, to whioh all
the foreign oonsuls wero invited, who, of course,
attended, particularly the Spanish, French, and
American, who could not havo done less byway
of endorsing the “victories” emblazoned on the
pedestal of said column (!)
The Mexicans are a great people—in fact the
greatest kind of a people. Their modesty and
magnanimity keep pace with each other. What
could be more nobly forgiving in the people of
Vera Crnz, in particular, than their present devo
tion to the man whose portrait was kicked about
the streets a few years since, and for whom any
mode of death then inv. ntedwas too good for him
to die,! Then they are such a poetic race—link
ing the deeds of their heroeß to the immortal
verse. Witness the following, perpetrated herein
honor of the demigod o f the day:
Tampico y Vera Crus y la Angostura
PrecoDisan tus timbres y blaaones,
Que a tu empaje se abrio una sepulture
De Barradas altivo a Us Irjtonee
De la armada francesca a la bravura
De Taylor a lei rudos campeones:
Y alii eoode tu voy llamo a la guerra
Tumba del iuvaaor sue neustra lierra (I)
Which, being literally translated, means aa fol
lows:
“Tampico, Vera Cruaand Angostura (Buena Vista)
Proclaim your cre> t and blazonry
Because ai your bidding a sepuloh re
Was opened for the legions of the haughty
Barradas —for the ferocious French Armada, and
Fcr the rude bnl lies of Taylor.
And wherever your voice called to war
Our soil became the tomb of the Invader.”
Notwithstanding all this enthusiasm, there are
mysterious rumors of revelations in different sec
tions, particularly in Oaxaca, to which a portion of
the forces, now on the march, havo been direoted.
Os course, should Alvarea bo suppressed, the
Oaxacans wont have a word to say at present.
You will find the papers lull of the affair in
Guerrero. Amor.g other things is the proclama
tion of Gen. Bombastes Furious, announcing his
arrival at Aoapulco. lam sorry to say, however,
that it ia very much doubted whether he has ar
rived or not.
There is a decree proclaiming particular honors
to the generals and officers who have distinguished
themselves in the war against the savages. Some
general, or corporal, (I don’t rccolleot whiob,) has
recently published a report of his operations against
the barbarians, in which he says, that after charg
ing and reoharging the enemy with great gallantly,
for nearly an entire day, be at length succeeded in
killing one of them, whereupon they (the savages,)
retreated; but upon coming up to the dead body,
they found it to be that of a woman I That fellow
deserves at least (wo decorations of the Order of
Guadalupe.
The ateamer takes an unuspal number of pas
sengers, among them several from California, in
cluding a son of John C. Calhonn.
Mr. J. J. Williams, Engineer in Chief of the
Tehuantepec Boad, also goes by this steamer. He
gives a very favorable report of the progress of the
work on the Isthmus. It is really to be hoped
that there will be no more bedevilment about that
matter.
A numberof arrested persons have been sent on
board the man of war Guadalupe (late slaver Lady
Suffolk.) Their destination is unknown. We
have not had any wholesale business in this line
since my last, but we are looking out for squalls,
and “nobody says nothing to nobody.” On, no.
For fuither particulars, see our able, interesting,
influential and independent press generally.
Origin of the Names ol the States.
The New York Sunday Times, at considerable
trouble, has collected the following information
relative to the derivation of the names of the
States:
Maine was first called Marvooshen, bnt about
1638, took the name it now bears, irom Maine, a
province in the west of France. Tbe name is origi
nally derived from tbe CenomanDi, an ancient
Gallic peoplo. New Hampshire was the name
given to the territory granted by tha Plymouth
Company to Capt. John Mason by patent, in
1689, snd was derived from the patentee, who was
Governor of Portsmouth, in Hampshire, England.
Vermont is from nerd, green, andmonf, mountain.
Massachusetts was named from a tribe ot Indians
in tbe vicinity of Boston. Roger Williams says
the word signifies bine hills. Rhode Island was
so called in 1644, in relation to the island of
Rhodes in the Mediterranean. New York was
named in honor of the Dnke of York, to whom
this Territory was granted. Pennsylvania was
called after Wm. Penn. In 1664, the Duke of
York made a grant of whit is now tbe State of
New Jereey, to Lord Berkley and Sir George Car
teret, aiid it received its name in compliment to
the latter who bad been Governor of tbe Island of
Jersey. Delaware was so called in 1702, after Lord
De La Ware. Maryland was named in h'nor of
Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles 1., in his patent
to Lord Baltimore, June 3, 1682. Virginia was
called after tbe virgin Queen of England, Eliza
beth. Tbe Carolinas were named by the French,
in honor of Charles IX., of Franoe. Georgia, was
called in 1732, alter George 11. Louisiana was
named after Louis XIV., of Franoe. Florida re
oeived its name from Ponce De LeoD, ia 1512,
while on his voyage in search of tbe fountain of
youth. He discovered it on Easter Bunday—in
Spanish Patcve Florida. The States of Alabama,
Mississippi, Teneessee, Kentucky, IU nois, Indi
ana, Ohio, Arkansas, and Missouri are all named
from tbeir principal riveia and the names of In
dian origin, excepting, perhaps Kentucky—and
their meanings involved in some obscurity. Ten
nessee is said to signify a carved spoon ; Illinois,
the River of Men; Mississippi, the Whole River,
or s river formed by the Union of many. Michi
gan was named from tbe Lake on its borders.
lowa is an Indian name ; also Texas—signifying
beautiful. California was thus named by the
Spaniards at a very early day.
Henry Clay—Sqcattxb Sovereignty. “The
true principle which ought to regulate the action
ofCoDgrees in forming territorial governments for

George Griswold preeided at table, with Hiram
Ketchum as his ciA-o ri*. Aaaocurxts stenogrpher
was present, and out of m materials of the even
ing, a volume was mado,jn»lch ia just about to
see the light. A letter, Ac!ted by the oeoasiom
from the present prevUiMflißishop (WaiowTight)
of New York, will he read by all the admirers of
Mr. Webster with great iaterest. The following
is an extract from it: IB
Whateverimpressionslfc, Webster may have
left upon others, who mefjtim only on the arena
of public life, or in tbe jgflsatrainsd freedom of
social gatherings, I was SSfaiy, If ever, in his com
pany without being impressed with his deep rev
erence for the greit trutS» cf religion. During
the few years in which I resided in Boston, as rec
tor of Trinity Church, Mrs. Webster was my
parishioner, and wp verywequently acoompanied
by her hnsbaDcU-to church where he was appa
rently a devout won-hiperand an attentive hearer
of the preached word. When we met, as was
often the case daring thftmeek, and there wss an
opportunity for conversaljpn, he would frequently
refer to the sabject of tW$ discourse on tho pre
vious Sunday, and nevefrwiUSoat my conviction
that my views enlarged, aSd that new light had
been thrown upon tbe- >oint under discussion.
Soveral times he euggeff’Jd subjects which he
wished to bear treated fro Jtho pulpit, and I have
taken ad vantage of the suggestion. On one occa
sion, I remember well, “• 9““ to, me, with more
than common earastneos, •’There is one text I have
often thought of as openmj|» grand subject, and
1 should like to hear it talked.” " What is that,
Mr. Webster!” Turning to me, for we were
seated at table, his eye madliug over his over
lisngiiig brow, he said WBedeep eud tremulous
tone, "There is one laaaßer.” I replied, "It is a
noble subject, and I sbaMrrite upon it for next
Sunday.’! "You cannot" >-‘Wby I it is but Wed
neads^ and
neverthelass, /could accomplish the design, and
upon reluming home to my stud; I undertook it—
dwelling upon it and making notes. But the more
I meditated the larger grew the subject, and I put
myself faithfully to the task for the remainder of
the week. Saturday came, and tbe mighty idea
had then stretched beyond my narrow grasp, and
I gave the subject up for the time, saying to my
self—Hooker has bent that bow, and Webster
could, were he to try, but I cannot.
I must mention one more fact ont of msny I
could recount, which convinced me that great as
were his intellectual powers, when the subject of
religion was presents to him, he was ever ready
to respond to it, and was humble, teachablo and
loving as a little child.
Soon after I returned from Egypt and the Holy
Lund, hearing that Mr. Webster was in town, I
called upon him at the Astor, as I was always ac
customed to do. His reception of me was most
cordial and affectionate. He asked mo many ques
tions as to my Eastern travels, and as I rose to go
away, he took me by the hand atid said: "I want
; rou to do one thing forme. You have been over
Vestine. I wish to get the best map 1 can oom
mat d, and have you set down with me one hour—
but one hour. I wish to go with you from place
to place— Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem, the
Sea of Galilee, Jordan, Bethany, tbe Mount of
Olives, and tell me, as I point, how it looks; the
hills, tbe trees, the rocks, the land, the water. 1
can never go there, but I would look as nearly ns
lean, upon every spot sanctified by the presence
of our blessed Lord while he was tabernacled in|Uie
flesh.” His eyta filled with tears, and he earnestly
pressed my hand. Multitudes ot emotions swelled
my heart. 1 returned the pressure and in silence
departed. I have ever regretted that this oppor
tunity never presented itself, and I now lament
that I had not more psrseveringly sought for it.
The questions of such a man upon such a subject
would have been sources of new thought and the
kindling of deep and abiding sentiment.
Commerce or the Black Sea.
A new interest is given to this grest inland sea,
from the fact that it is immediately connected with
the war which is being prosecuted in that quarter.
As our connection with that part of the world is
only commercial, a view of the trade on that sea
may be interesting to a portion of onr readers.
The most important river which flows into the
nlack Bea is the Danube, which for its size and
the amount of its navigation may bo considered
the Mississippi of Europe. It is about 2000 miles
in length, and descends from its source to its
mouth, about 2180 feet. The steam navigation of
the Danube may be said to commence at Vienna.
In its progress through Turkey, the stream varies in
breadth from 1400 to 2108 yard", and its average
depth about 20 feet. Its mouth is much obstructed
by sand banks, and of'tbs five passages through
which it flows into the Blaok Sea, one only is of
sufficient depth of water to permit of navigation,
and this channel is becoming more shoal every
year, and nnleia some means be taken to remove
these obstructions, the commerce of this noble
river will ultimately be destroyed.
Is 1849, 588 vessels with loaded cargoes arrived
at Galatz, one of the principal townß on the Dan
ube ; and the value of the imports was $2,800,-
000, and of the exports $2,000,000. The commeroe
of Ibraila is about equal that of Galatz. Their ex
ports are principally wheat and Indian corn, suet
and preserved meats; and the imports are princi
pally English manufactures, of which cotton yarn
is one ot the chief ar'ioles, though sugar and iron
moke a considerable anm. The trade of these
ports in grain has increased rapidly within the
fast ten years. In XS4I the export of wheat f'orn
Galatz was WQ, 845 .quarters, and of Indian oorn
85,894 quarters ; and in 1851 it was 184,474 quar
ters of wheat, and 850,682 quarters of corn. The
exports from Ibrsils were, in 1841, 84,692 quarters
of wheat, and 26,818 quarters of corn; but in 1851
they amounted to 288,106 qaarters of wheat, and
649,617 quarters of corn. This grain was raised
principally in Moldavia and Wallachia, and with
tolerable cultivation they are capable, especially in
Wallachia, of prodneing a much larger quantity.
The principal port or mart of trade on the Black
Sea is Trebizond. In 1646 the goods disembarked
for Persia and Georgia were valued at about $2,-
000,000, and in 1851 the imports amounted to
somo $7,000,000. lu 1862 the imports into Trebi
zond were valued st $8,967,000, and the exports
st s4,2o2,ooo—showing tho difference between the
two of $4,645,000. The most important portion of
this trade belongs to the Turkish marine, next to
this the Austrian, and next tha British. The trade
of Persia continues to pass through Trebizond.
The number of passengers which embark and dis
embark at this port is very great. The capital
attract* vast numbers of emigrant people Irom the
interior. In 1852'hey amonnted to some 18,000.
The nationality of the vessels whioh arrived at
Trebizond in 1852 was: 171 Ottoman, 21 Austrian,
20 British, 2 Buesian, 2 Greek, 1 Danish, 1 lonic,
and 1 French.
It is a little remarkable that there are no Amer
ioan vessels whioh are engaged in the trade of Tre
bizond. By oar treaty with Turkey, wo have the
right to pass the Dardanelles, and go into tha
Black Sea; and when we consider the enterprise
of onr merchants, it is a little strange that some
have not ventured upon that trade. However,
the trade of the Black Sea is not one that would
prove very Inviting to ns. We oonld hardly ex
pert to compete with QrtAt Britain in supplying
Galatz or Ibrsils, with cotton twist, nor have we
any occasion for their wheat and corn. Other
parts of the world turnish to ns a more inviting
and lucrative trade, and this accounts for onr not
penetrating into the Black Sea.
Though the oommeroe of the Blaok Sea is of
coarse important to Turkey, and not without in
terest to the other commercial nations, there is one
drawback to that trade! The sole outlet of the
waters of tho Black Sea and Sea of Marmora is the
Dardanelles, or the Hellespont, a passage whose
navigablo width searoely exceeds two thousand
yards for nearly thirty miles. The owners of this
Strait can with ease cut off sll communication with
the Black Sea, or any maritime power, with two or
or three ships might in time of war blockade the en
trance and so cat oil all the trade. In the approaching
war as England snd France will command tbejMedi
terranean, they can control the commerce of these
seas. Turkey will not, therefore, suffer in her
trade, though the war be protracted. The trade
of the Black Sea will not be materially interrupted,
excopt so far as war interrupts business.— Atlas.
Honor to the Ladies ox the South. —We notice,
says the Macon Telegraph, in our recent exchanges
with the Savannah press, that the ladies of that
oity have taken in hand the question of the dis
posal of the Mount Vernon property. It appears
that they see, if we the lords of creation cannot,
that Washington’s homestead is something more
than a number of gullied old fields, and that the
tomb of the Father of this Country is something
besides a heap of bricks.
Well for the World it is. that woman does not
share with us in the sordid strifes of life, and that
some of its rude collisions a-e escaped, or wbat
would become of sentiment —of gratitude—yea,
of hoaor itself. Legislators in Congress, who are
so sensitively alive to some of the wrongs of earth
they have conjured up, that to hear them talk,
you would suppose they would soon see the stars
blotted out, than not feel all over when they are
mentioned, can sit as stolid as so many blocks
when you appeal to their hearts in behalf of the
rejected dead. They deem all this a wasteful con
sumption of hearty because it is not money, nor
power—nor anything but a love and remembrance
of those who can defend and help us nomore. We
see again that even in chivalrous South Carolina,
thatber daughters have waited upon the torpid
gratitude of the State to do honor to the noblest
of her sons, until wearied ont with waiting, they
now crave the custody of ti e ashes of the great
Calhoun, and with their own bands they intend
to erect the monument to his greatness. This is
what we mean by a stilting and practical age we
suppose, and when we lower the tall forms, and
once strong hearts of our truest benefactors in the
grave, we are to forget them with es light com
punction as we would a set of tools, broken and
worn out in our service, unless we wish to be
thought lackedasical.
New York, March SS.—The largest assemblage
of publishers and booksellers ever gathered in this
city, was in attendance at Bangs, Bro., <k Co.'s
rooms on Thursday, to witness the great Putnam
Bale, the entire prooeeda of which amounted to
nearly $58,000- Thi* is considered a good re
sult, when it is remembered that the plates of the
illustrated World of Art and Industry, whieh were
valued at SIB,OOO, bad been withdrawn. During
this day’s sale, Mr. Putnam gave a collation at the
Astor House, to whieh he invited all the publishers
and booksellers, and a numberof authors and edi
tors. They had a good time of it.
Yesterday morning three additional arrests were
made of the gang who have been passing counter
feit bills on the Cranston Bank, B. L There are
now altogether fifteen persons in Jefferson Market
prison, cbsrged with passing counterfeit-bills on
the above bank.
Fears are expressed fhr the safety of several of
the Liverpool packet ships. Seme of them have

but one of their Liverpool line at the wharf, and
only one of their London packets.
Fra* at Darien. —A private letter received yes
terday from Darien, Ga., informs os of a disas
trous fire at that place yeeterdsy morning. “The
fire broke ont sbont o’clock A. M., in the store
of Mr. Henry Pendsrvia. The building, together
with a stock of dry goods and groceries, was soon
consumed, and the flames next seised upon the
clothing store of D. Abraham <fc Brother, burning
it to tbe ground. Their goods were saved in a
damaged condition. Two bar-rooms were next de
stroyed, ooe owned by Amos Allen, and the other
by General Pearce, when tbe flamee ware at last

been alroady published. This great work has
been reoeived with much favor everywhere, and
contains many of the first names in the country.
For further information ol its general scope and
plan, 1 beg to refer you to a circularherowith soDt.
Our porttaits are engraved on steel, by the first
artists, so that the likenesses are true and life-like
representations of the originals, possessing greater
value io the subjects and their friends thun the
most costly painting.
Y'ouare respectfully solicited to oocupy a place in
the pages of tnis work. Should your consent af
ford us the opportunity of thus giving to thi'world
a true and permanent record ot your life and fea
tures, please send me your likeness (a good da
guerreotype of the same size as a our portraits is
best,) so that it maybe banded over to our en
gravers.
Please cau-e to bo sent to me also, s memoir of
yourself, or such facts ns will enable mo to prepare
it; and, I will not forget to say, that the facts for
the sketch should be fully and accurately given.
I hope you will send both the daguerreotype and
memoir at yonr earliest convenience, as we have a
volume in progress, and wish to avoid delay.
Hoping to hear from you, I am, yours truly,
John Livingston.
Dear Sir: —The above communication reached
me last weak, and in replication, I beg leave to
state that if l nave ever done anything worthy of
tile immortality your magazine is likly to confer
upon me, lam not conscious of it. However, as
true merit is always modest, it may be to that vir
tue that I owe my ignorance ; at all events, (and I
am anxious the world at large should know it,) I
have not sought fame, but fame has sought me, us
Alexander Smith I he poet would say,
“Fame 1 Fame! next grandest work to God I”
In taking a retrospect of my early duys, I oan
discover nothin! worthy of record, unless it be tho
stealing of a few watermelons at school, lor which
I was beaten with many stripes, or the riding of a
lew quarter races, for whioh I received an occa
sional and solitary ginger cako, or adventures of
similar import.
At 17 1 ran away from my venerable old guar
dian, the Kev. Hansford Dude Duncan, (long life
to him) and vamosed to the great, far west, where
1 flourished for a short time, and a short time
only, and upon returning I lost all my money,
upon a game vulgarly called “poker,” (of which,
of course, you know nothing) upon one of the
boats of the Alabama river. This was about the
time the Ben. Franklin burstod, and killed so
many, snd had Inot been standing near tbc stern
of tno vessel, would never have had the op
portunity of handing my name, fao simile, charac
ter and adventures, down to an eager posterity in
the columns ofyonr justly celebrated magazine.
I retnrned to my own, my native land, fundless,
and perhaps somewhat seedy in appearance, and
run for Ist Lieut, in a distinguished militia com
pany, but was unfortunately beaten by the loss of
one vote, by my worthy competitor.
In the year of onr Lord 1849, my illustrious
friend Thomas D. Oondy gave mo the offloe of As
sistant Deputy U. 8. Marshall for the District of
Barnwell, and while taking the Census, I killed
one horse and another ran away and broke my
buggy, upon which occasion, I rode my horse bare
back 14 miles iD 40 minutes, of which fact Col. B.
H. Brown is a living witness.
Aftarlhad concluded this herculean underta
king a man calling himself “C. Frank Powell,”
wrote me from Washington, that if I would for
ward a certain amount of money to him, he would
prosecute my claims for an increase of pay suffi
cient to cover these immense disasters, but I do
grieve to say that from tho lime I sent the money
1 have not beard a word from the aforesaid and
never to be lorgottenC. Frank l’oweil, he proba
bly having gone to parte unknown. However, I
still entertain strong nope of seeing his distinguish
ed name and fee similo in yonr widely circulated
magazine.
Last year I ran for Tax Collector in this impor
tant Township, and was beaten so badly by a base
combination, of whioh I was wholly uuoonscicus
until a tew moments before closing of the polls,
that I havo not since entirely recovered my equa
nimity. As a salvo, however, to this disaster, and
just at this crisis, my distinguished but benighted
friend, the Hon. James Campbell, Postmaster
General, gave me the Postofflce at this place, the
duties of which, I may without vanity say, I have
discharged to the complete and entire satis taction cf
the whole community.
My friends, anxious toseenro forme the distin
guishod honor you have so politely tendered, and
as a reward for my varions and arduous services,
are now busily engaged in raising a subscription for
the purpose of detrsying the expenses attendant
upon this momentous affair. I allude to the en
graving of my portrait. They have already ap
points, a committee to secure the services of a
competent artist for the all absorbing occasion and
sb soon as the picture is completed, 1 will forward
it to yonr address.
Permit me to express the hope that yon will de
lay the publication .of tho next number of your
magazine until it makes its ydvent.
I avail myself of this opportunity to assure yon of
the distinguished consideration with which I re
main, dear sir, your grateful ob’t servt,

Origin or the “Azteo ’ Children. —A corres
pondent of the Atheuseuum, under the signature
Frsincsis, of A, de L. has published, in the num

abridged ; “The two ohildren exhibited in Eu
rope are neither Lillipntians, Azteos, saoerdotals,
natives of Iximaya, nor belonging to an extraordi
nary race of men ; neither do they come from the
republic ofGautemala. Here is their history: in
the department ol San Miguel, in a village called
La Puorta, near the town of Uaulutan, there lives
a married mulatto woman mother ol these two
little children who pass among us for phenomena,
as well as a third Infant, belonging to the-same
woman, like the two others, and who wiil certain

wishes to make himself it? patron. Don Baimond

speculation of these two enrions children obtained
tbem from the mother tor some ounces of gold,
four or five years ago ; and having thus acquired
them, he startod with them for the United States,
taking at the same time a wolf, a white stag and
some monkeys. On bis arrival at San Juan del
Nicaragua, these curiosities passed, we know not
how, into the hands of an American. Since then
the agent of Senor Selva has solicited from the
government of tbe State of Salvador documents
which prove that hisdient is owner of lha chil

Omar Pasha, the Turkish commander, has just
received from tbe sultan a splendid sabre valued
at six thousand dollars. There was a grand pre

army was going thfough the usual exeroiaes. As
the bearer of the sultan’s gift, at the head of a
procession with bends of music approached the
hillock, Omar Pasha advanced down the turf to
meet it. He took the firman, and tbe sabre in the
presence of the srmy, kissed it and pnt it to his
brow. On which sn Imaum pronounced a prayer
in high Arabic, that “God would prosper the
affairs of the Moslems.”

liament to deliberate. The oountry, by the admis
sion of the responsible advisers of the Crown is, I
am afraid I must say, upon the verge of war.—
(Hear, bear.) The House and the country have s
right to know what has been the oonduot of Go
vemment, and what has been the course which has
led us to this position. We have laid before Parlia
ment the papers whioh show what the conduet of
Government has been, and we have produced these
papers tor the express purpose tnet Parliament
might have the opportunity of considoriDg and of
reviewing that conduct! and of expressing
its opinion thereon. ( Hear, hear.) But I
must ooii.'ess, I did uut expect to hear from
any member of this House, that whioh has
jast fallen from the right bon. member who
bas jastsat down—(hear, hsar)—because, 1 think
that if I were to De of opinion that a Government,
in the direction of its public duty, in consideration
of great and important negotiations upon matters
involving not only tho interests of this oonntry,
but the peace and welfare of Europe, had been
justly chargeable either with credulity or conni
vance, I think that if I felt those were the only al
ternatives on which the House could be caitod upon
to pronounce itsjudgment I certainly think I should
feel there could be no other course open to me and to
the House than to withhold from that Government
the confidence of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) Yet we
are told that the Government, in relation to whioh
this House has only the alternative of condemnation
for credulity or coudemnation for oonnivauce, is to
receive the confidoDoe of Parliament by the supplies
which may be necessary to carry on the war ; and
that the gentlemen who sit opposite are ready to
entrust to Buch a Government tho fortune of tho
war. (Hear, hear.) Well, thon a Government,
standing in the position in whioh we stand, has a
right to expeot that itsoonduct will be scrutinised
to the bottom. (Hear, hear.) There are many
charges that might be brought against us ; in the
first place, we might be accused of having rashly,
imprudently, snd without due regard to the heavy
responsibilities which weighed upon üb, brought
the oountr; to the ooudition of being obliged to
draw the sword and rush into war, (Hear.) That
charge no one has made against us. That charge
would, indeed, have been a heavy charge; and, if
proved against us, would have manifested us as
deserving of the severest condemnation of the
country. That charge, however, no man has as
yet, intimated could be alleged against the con
duct ot tho Government, well, another oharge
might be, that by delay, by credulity, by absence
of sufficient vigour st the proper lime, we had al
lowed matters to come to a pass at which they
would ueverbave arrived had we pursued a differ
ent course. (Hoar, bear.) Now, I think that
neither is this a charge which oan be rightly
brought against the Government; snd on the con
trary, I am ready to maintain that the moderation
and torbearanoo by whioh our conduct has been
characterized are suoh as to enable us to stand well
in the opinion of the oountry. (Hear, bear.) If
it is said that we have foreborne to the last mo
ment, that we havo exhausted every means of ne
gotiation, that wo have clung to every hope of ter
minating the disputes which threatened the peaco
of Europe by amioable adjustment, that we have
trusted those who were not deserving of our trust,
that we have believed assurances whioh events
have shown were untrne, that we have postponed
to the last moment the decision which it may now
appear wo mnst come to, these aro not, in my
opiuion, oharges against the Government, but
rather as a proof that we have done all in our
power, and up to the latest hour to avoid war, will
induoe the oonntry to rally, as one man, ronnd the
Uovernment, seeing that war, if war oomee, is a
necessity which could not be avoided ; and to
make every sacrifice which the war, so forced upon
us, despite our utmost endeavors to avert it, must
inevitably entail. (Hear, hear.) We are accused
of credulity. I say that the despatches in these
volumes justify us in having fora considerable pe
riod, reposed confidence in the assertions of the
Bussian Government. (Hear.) Tbe right hon.
gentleman bas accused my noble friend, the Sec
retary for Foreign Affairs, of having misled Parlia
ment, on the 25th April, by declaring, at that
time, that the Russian Government asked for no
thing but the settlement of ths question of the
holy plaoes, whereas, says the right hon. gentle
man, at that very time Prince Meneohikoff had
lett Constantinople, and the English Government
knew perfectly well that he bad been urging a cer
tain treaty on the Porte. What are tho facts!—
Prince Meneohikoff did not leave Constantinople
till the 22J ot May—(hear, hear)—and, as to the
latest declaration which, on the 25th of April, Lord
Clarendon had reoeived from tbe Buaeiau authori
ties, its date was the 28tu of March, on whioh day,
in reply to a question from Sir Hamilton Seymour,
whether the setilement of the question as to the
holy places, would arrange everything betwnon
Buesia and Turkey, Count Nessolroue with hia own
lips assured him that it would—(hear, hear) —and
that nothing thereafter would remain to be settled
between tho two Powers but some petty points
connected with tbe Chanoery, wholly unimportant
and unoonsequential, (Hear, hear.) That state
ment was repeated on the 80lh April, when Count
Nesselrode declared most positively to Sir Hamil
ton Seymour that the arrangement which was no -
gotiating at Constantineple contained nothing be
yond that which had beeu already made known to
the British Minister at St. Petersburg, and by tbe
Bussian Minister attheCourt of St. Jame’s to tbo
English Government. (Hear, hesr.) Sir, wben
such positive assertions as these are made by the
Government of a great country like Russia, 1 say
that tbe Government to which they are made is en
titled to place confldenoe in them. (Hear, hear.)
It is said that wo heard of military preparations
on ihe part ol Russia, and ws ought to have in
ferred Irom this that some other demands were on
foot. We ware told by the Russian Government
itself that Bnoh preparations were making, hut wo
wore also told by the Russian Government
that their sole object wsb to counteract the mena
cing language which had been used by France,
and that they bore solely and entirely on tbe ques
tion of tbe holy places. (Hear.) We were told
also, it is quite true, that Russia required some
proof of confldenoe, aa well aa soma reparation
Irom Turkey, for offences whioh she had commit
ted in connexion with tbe chaDgea that had been
made in the question es the holy placas, and that
the security was to be in the form of a treaty con
firming the Sultan’s firmans for (ha settlement of
that question. But we had never any intimation
that any such treaty was to apply to other matters.
(Hear, hear.) When, therefore, Count Nesselrode
asserted, at a later period, thatonr.Government had
known from the outset, what were the whole de
mands of Russia upon Turkey, ho asserted that—l
am bound to say it—which was utterly st variance
with tbe fact. (Hear.) It is painlul to speak
ol a Government like Russia in torma of censure
or reprobation, bat I am bound to say, on behalf
of the English Government, that the Russian Go
vernment, by itself snd its agents, has throughout
these transactions, exhausted every modification
of untruth, concealment and evasion, and endsd
with assertions ot positive falsehood. (Hear,
hoar.) lask, however, has anything boon lost by
the forbearanoe with whioh tha Government has
oondneted this question ! I say, that, il in the last
Summer a course had been taken by us whioh l
would have brought matters then to the point at
which they now are—if we had found ourselves in
Jane or July last on tbe point of a rupture with
Russia—onr position would not have been sueh as
it is now. (Hear.) It may b« said indeed, that
the present result would never have arisen—that
Russia would have given way, if we had shown
fr eater vigour at first. (Hesr.) That is a plausi
le opinion, and one which a person may be justi
fied in holding; but alter sli, it is bat sn opinion,
and bad matters taken the coarse I have assumed,
and turned oat wrong—had Russia, instead of sub
mission, urged us on then to tbe pqint at whioh we
now stand—we »honld have been justly chargeable
with a grave political mistake. (Hear, Leer.)
There were a great many reasons why forbearanoe
was desirable. It was of tbe utmost importance,
in a matter sffeotiug the great interests of Europe,
that though England and France have been from
tbe ontset acting together, heartily, entirely, and
oordially, they should endeavor to obtain also the
concurrence of Austria and Prussia, (Uear, hear.)
We know that these two countries have interests
in this matter far more direct than those
of England and France. To Prussia and
Austria it is a matter of vital existence, be
cause, it Russia were either to appropriate any
large portion of Tnrkisb territory, or even to re
duce Turkey to the condition of a State merely
dependent npon Russia, it ia manifest—no man
can doubt who casta a glance at the map of Europe
and looks at the geographical position of those two
Powers with regard to Russia and Turkey that
such an immense appropriation of geographi
cal power on thq purl of Knssia must be tatal to
tho independentac'-ionol Austria and Prussia.—
Well, it waa of great importance to get these two
Powera with os ae far as it was possible to obtain
their counsel aud advice; but neither of them
could be expected to risk lightly a rupture with
their great and powerful neighbor. The reasons
which might lead Prnsaia not to wish to risk suoh
a rupture—tbe reasons, I would rather say why
those who wished well to her well-mean
ing allies—would not have wish' d to press her
forward singly are obvious to SDy man who looks
at the map of Europe. (Uear,) Austria, we know,
was under grest obligations to Kussis. It
was natural that aba should be unwilling to
break with Russia as long as it waa pos
sible that matters oonld be arranged by any ami
cable adjustment; and if A nutria, seeing that
England and France were hurrying msttois on.
and precipitating a war, when she (Austria)
thought that by more forbearance, by her influ
ence at St. Petersburg, and by diplomacy, nego
tiations might have been carried on and war
avoided, France and England, under thooe cir
cumstances, would uot have been entitled to ex
pect her active co-operauon in the war. (,uear,
hear. I It waa theretore of great imporUuce to
avail ourselves as much eewe eould ol that
ence which Austria P OB, £!?® d A
noseesstd. atthe Jon it of Bt. Petersburg, and to
Austria that we consulted ber position
M well M our own, snd that we were willing to
wive every possible opportunity for an ami
sable settlement of the diffiwenee, it by any means
it could be effected. (Hear.) 1 believe I am uot
overstating the facts when I say that tbe conduct
of England and of France in this respeot has been
folly appreciated by Austria and Prussia, and that
whereas, if war bad been entered into and carried
on in the coarse of last Summer, we might have
had no reason and right to expeot tbeir co-opera
tion—l cannot persuade myself bat that, if mat
ters goon to tho point I fear they are likely to go to
tbe conduct of Austria and Prussia will be differ
ent now to what it would have been under thoee
different circumstances. (Hear, hear.) Well,
then, I say that the oonduct of her Majesty’# Gov
ernment ia not blameable either upon the ground
of precipitation or upon the ground of too mnoh
forbearanoe. Tbe House, I think, will agree that
the great object of preserving peace waa one which
justified every possible degree of forbearance
short of tbe sacrifice of those interests whioh it waa
onr duty to maintain. Bat it may besaid, “Is tbe ob
ject then, for which you are asking ths oonntry now
to go to war one of sufficient magnitude to justify the
efforts which you require the country to maker’
VOL. LXVIII.-NEW SERIES VOL. XVIH.-NO u
I might answer that question by saying that tho
op.uion ot' the Government, that tliu object is
worthy of -boee effoi to, ia an opinion ahar a by
France, by Austria, auu by Prussia—that all these
Powers uuve recognized, in tbe moat solemn end
distinct manner, that tho independence and in
tegrity of the Turkish Empire is en essential con
dition for the continuance of the peace of Europe
—that it is an essential element in the balance of
power, and that it would be e calamity to Europe
If any attempt were made to destroy that integ
rity and inderendenoe. (Hear, hear.) Why, even
Russia, while sne is pursuing a course which is
acknowledged by all the Powers except herself to
be fatal to that independence and that integrity,
does not venture to deny the prinoiple that, tbe
independence and integrity of the Ottoman em
pire is an essential element in the oondition aud
welfare of Europe. Wby, Sir, it is manifest that,
if Russia were to appropriate to herself tilt s.) ter
ritories which now lie under the sway of the Sul
tan, she would become a power too vsnt eud too
gigantio for the safety of the other states of Eu-
rope. (Hear.) If she were to bestride tire Con
tinent from North to South, possessing large na
val power both in the Baltic end the Mediterra
nean, enveloping tbe whole of Germany, com
mending regions full of every natural resource,
and e population of enormous exteut, she would
become dangerous to the liberties of Europe, and
her power would be fatal to the independence of
other States. (Cheers.) 1 say, therefore, it is the duty
of the other countries ot Europe to prevent such an
enormous aggrandizement as that whioh would
result from such s change of possession. I shall
be told, very likely, “Yes, but Russia don’t want
any accession of territory ; she don’t pretend or
protcaa to tuko permanent po&se&eion of any ter
ritory that belongs to the ISultan; she merely
holds these Principalities as a material pledge for
conoersions which she requires to be made—
conceseione which she says are essential to her dig
nity and honor.” What the Turkish Minister re
plies to that is ajlrue statement of tbe danger; he says
that it would be better that Turkey should have
a limb cut off than that poison should be slowly
but Burely infused into her whole body oorporata.
which would surely soon destroy her energies and
lay her prostrate at tho toot of her powerful
neighbor. (Hear, hear.) That which Russia dp*
poweMvhioii was to protect them in all the affi.irs
of life, both religious and civil, would have been
the power to whioh those 12,000,000 persons
would have looked, and the Sultan would have
been no longer any but the nominal ruler es those
Bubjoots. (Hear, hear.) 1 say, therefore, that
that concession was one which tbe Sovereign of
Turkey was justified in refusiug, aud which overy
other Power—whioh England, Franco, Austria,
end Prussia—united to deolare could not be giant
ed without an abandonment of tho independent
sovereignty of the Sultan. (Hear.) Well, I say,
then, that the object for which we are contending
is one which a due rogurd for the interests of this
country, and a duo regard to the weltaro of Europe
and to tho peuoo of tbe world, justifies us iu con
tending for. We are told, however, that, setting
asidetiio abstract principle of pr.eerving the bal
ance of power—which some gontlemen profess to
treat with great contempt, as a matter wholly unde
serving the care and attention of statesmen—wo uro
told Ibut, setting that aside, there is something in
tho condition ot the Turkish empire which makes it
utterly unworthy of our support, and that, because
it is not in such an advauoed state of civilization as
this countiy, it ought therefore to bo oonquered
by Russia and blotted out as an independent na
tion from the face of Europe. 1 was asked by the
hon. member for the West Riding (Mr. Cobden)
wnethorl still maintained the assertion 1 made
last session, that there was hurdly any country
whioh had, in the sume period of time, made such
material progress in its iuterual arrangements as
Turkey has done. Sir, I abide by that assertion.
(Cheors from both sides of tbe house.) 1 am
satisfied that any man who looks into the oondi
tion of Turkey now, aud compare it with what it
was at the time referred to, will admit tho truth
and justice of my assertion.
It w quits trua that Turkey now is for behind
England and Fraco, but we aro not on Ibis account
to forget bow much further advancod it ia now than
it waa in the time of Sultan Mahmoud. Any man
who knows anything of Turkey will know that in
respect to internal navigation, in respect to her
army, her navy, and justice or political adminis
tration, great and immense progress has been
made since that period. (Hour, hear, hear.) But
Turkey, forsooth, is not worth defending, nud
does not dosorvo to be defended, because tho
Christian subjeotsof the Sultan are not, in ull re
seeds, placed upon a footiug of equality with tho
Mussulmans. 1 believe that, legally speaking, the
groat distinction now between the two races is,
that the Christians pay tho kliaraj, and ure exempt
from the oouscriutiou. There is also an inequali
ty as to their.evidence in civil cases; but, 1 believe,
in respect to criminal cases, they ure now placed
upon an equality with the Mussulmans. But, Sir,
if the faot of any raco in u country being upon u
footing of oivil and political inequality, is any jus
tification for considering that country as undeserv
ing of independent poluionl existence, what would
havo been said by the hon. member for the West
Biding, if he had lived not very long ago, when
there prevailed that penal code in Ireland which
placed our Catholic fellow-subjects on a much
worse footiug than that on which the Christian
subjects of the Porte now stand ? (Here, hear, and
laughter.) 1 fanoy that, in those days, when this
country produced many men ominot in all matters
of literature and science, tney would havo baen
very mueh surprised, if they had been told that
they were a set of barbarians, and deserved to be
conquered by France, in order thut tho Catholics
should bo put upon the same footing as the Pro
testants in this country. (Cheers and laughter.)—
Well, I suy, then, that the condition of the Chris
tians is no reason whatever why, upon groat polit
ical grounds, tnis country and Franca—ay, and
Austria and Prussia too—should not combine lo
maintain the Turkish empire in its present geog
raphical position. (Cheers.) I believe that the in
ternal progress which has commonccd in Turkey
will be continued, and that the Christian and Mus
sulman subjaota will bo plaoed on the same foot
ing of equality. I can assure the House that it has
boon the anxious object of tho Uovernmont to
briug about that result, and not only of the pres
ent, but also of former Adminstrstions. In the
year 1846, when I hud the honour of being Hecretary
for Foreign Alfrirs, immediately upon assuming the
seals of olDce, i sent lor Lord Stratford de Kod
cliffe, who was then in England, and urged him to
roiurn to Constantinople, assuring him that there
was no one in whose ability, sagacity, and knowl
edge of Turkish affairs, the Government oould
plaoe greater confidcnci. Lord Stratford replied
that ho would go upon one oondition, which was
that hoßhould bo allowed to exert all the influence
whloh his position as Biitish Embassador would
give him to iudoce the Suliau to prooced with in
ternal reform, and to place his Christsiu and Mus
sulman subjects upon an equal fooling. We aro
now told by Borne that our interference in tho in
ternal affairs of Turkey is similar to iliut of the
Kusaian Government as explained in the Mensolii
Koff Note; but the groat difference is, that wo in
terfered only by advice, which tho Sultan was at
liberty to reluso or accept, as he thought fit. We
demauded no protectorate over bis subjects; we
only counselled him to improve the civil and po
litical oondition of a portion of bis subjects, that
they might be bound by oloser ties'to his Govern
ment, and so become more useful citizens. Our
interference was very different from thut of Bus-
Bia, who demanded a protectorate over some 18,-
OOu.OOO of the subjects of the Sultan—so that if one
oi them felt himself aggrieved lip wus to repair to
St. Petersburg and trust; to tho protection of tb 0
Emperor of Kustfa rather than to the justice of the
Sultan, (Heat.) The objeot we have at heart is
one of great importance, sud one deserving tkfl
the efforts of the country should be made to uttain
it, Wbat, let us consider for a moment, is the na
ture of the adversary we shall have to cope with ?
Thero are two things equally dangerous in matters
of this kind. The one is to overate our adversary;
the other la to undervalue him. To overate an
enemy is dangerous, but I must say that 1 think
that there never has been a great State whoso
power tor external aggression has been more over
rated thsn[Buseia. (Hear, hear.) We have seen
that Kussia ispowerlul for defence, and havo in
ferred that she is therefore powerful tor aggres
sion, but the very circumstances which render her
Powerful within render her week without. (Hear,
ear.) The vaet distances whiob invading armies
must traverse, and the dangers es the march, all
operate against an attacking army; but the same
causes operate to prevent Bussia beiDg herself
powerful in attaok. There is also a vast difference
between an army on paper and the actual numbor
of men in the field or battle. An army would be
muob reduced in one of these long marches from
its original strength. The accounts of the ltusaian
troops in the principalities estimated them at a
very large amount, but it seems that the Kussiaus
never had any very considerable force there, and
that is proved by the fact that in all the encoun
ters which have taken place they have had the
worst; and tho endeavour to force the passage of
the Danube never has succeeded. We have seen, on
the other hand, that the Turks have shown a vitali
ty which they were not believed to possess, and
what the Bussiana call their faoatioism we should
call a public spirit of patriotism which leads them
to defend their Sovereign and their ceuntry. As
an instance of this spirit, I may meotion that in
one district, where the contingent required for the
army wsb 1,000 men, on the day of muster 4,000
men appeared, and tbo 8,000 who were disappoin
ted said that if the Government would accept
their services they would ask for nothing in re’urn
but rations and arms, and they would supply them
selves wi‘h olotbes. The Turkish forces may be
deflicient in officers, but it is evident that Omar
Kasha has conducted the campaign in a manner
which evinoes great military talent. (Hear, hear.)
My opinion is that any one great Power like Eng
land or Franoe, possessing suoh naval and military
resources, oould, if it took up the cause of Turkey,
bring the quarrel to aeuocossiul issue; but, when
those two oountries combined take up the cans •,
I maintain that the chance of the Emperor of Bus
sia is entirely desperate. (Hear, bear.) Wears enti
tled to expeot that, if the war should continue,
Austria and Prussia will not remain passive spec
tutors. They will feel it due to themselves to
take some part In the eonteat, for, If they do not,
Austria must have indeed forgotten all her estab
lished polioy, and must be ignorant of all her own
interests; and the same Is the oase with Prussia.
I therefore say that, with England and France act
ing aa enpportora of Tnrkey, with the opinion of
the whole of Europe opposed to the Emperor of
Eussis, who will have not a single ally *° HU PP O '*
him in bis career of ii.juetioe. I have no doubt as
to what most be the result. (liter, hear.) Uis a
noWe sight to see England »"d France, two coun
tries which have long been in rivalry with each
other united in a course of action—(loud oheers)
—bound bv a reciprocal engagement to seek no
territorial advantage for Ihemaelvea, bnt standing
forth in defence, not of their own interest and wel
fare alone, but in behalf of tbo interests of Europe.
Ic is a worthy sight to see those fleets and armies
which have Litherto met in deadly contest ranged
side by side in perfect amity, not armed for the
purpose of conquest, hut armed in a noble and
irenerous cause, to defend right against might.—
(Hear, hear.) lam willing to lay the case of the
Government before the country and before Parlia
ment, convinoed that tb i people of this country
will bo aathfled that we have not recklessl) and
without cause involved them in a war of which 1
do not wiah to underrate the oonaequencee, but
which I think will be a very different war from all
others in which this country has ever been involv
ed. I feel no hesitation in applying to the country
for assistance to enable na to carry on with vigour
the contest in which we may be engaged ; and 1
aay that, if it be the opinion of the people of this
country or of Parliament that we havo shown
weakness aud credulit), or the inlamy of conni
vance, let them take the oonduot of the war from
the hands of a Government incompetent to carry
it on, and plaoe it in the hands of those in whose
ability, judgment, and sagaoity they can plaoe
greater relianoe. (Loud cheers.)

Tnx Irish and the Eastern War.— Exciting ru
mors ere current in Now York in r gard to move
monte of the Irish in the United States, with refer
ence to tho war just begun between Euglaud and
Bussia. It is reported that a very extensive or
ganization is in pregross bore among tbo frith,—
that companies havo been formed, and thut milita
ry oxorcisos arc constantly practiced, with the in
tention to ittr up and aid a rebellion in Canada .
whenever the oonditibn of affairs in the East shall
seem most propitious for suoh a movement. Tho
N. Y. Times professes to have received detailed
inlormution of the extent of the organization, the
numbers concerned, and even the names of the
active agents in the arrangement, but under pre
sent circumstances refrains irom making it rnblio.
It is sam that a similar scheme is on foot m Ireland,
and that a very large numbor of men have beon
enlisted for the project.

The Bonham (Texas) Advertiser, published in
Fannin ooanty,oontaitm the following:
Tiidrsdat Mourn##, March 8,1844.
We etop the press to givo the following intelli
gence, which was brought last night by Goo. N.
Butt, Esq., of Preston. Mr. Butt had received a
letter from tho Chaplain at Fort Boiknnp, (trans
mitted by s confidential servant of Mr. B.) stating
that tho whole force of tho garrison, except six
teen men, wore off In pursuit ot the murderers of
Col. Stem; and that 400 Indian warriors wore
about tho Fort challenging the commandant,
Major Merrill, to a fight. They had dispatched a
parly with 1000 Government cattlo, of which they
had token possession.
Major Merrill was temporizing with them—giv
ing them goods end provisions—in the hopo of
succor, cither from Inc return of tho scout or
from two companies of recruits hourly expected.
Fort Belknap is s collection of buildings on an
open plain, and sixteen men can do very little for
its defonoe. Unless the expected suoour reached
them soon after the dispatch of tho Chaplain's let
ter, Maj. M. and his little command are already
massacred.
DREAnrui. Atvair —Upon returning home from
our offico at a lute hour on Wednesday night, we
wore suddenly accosted by a man who threw his
arms around us and imploring for help, staling
that ho bad boon stabbed and was bleeding to
death. Upon enquiry we found it to be Thoms#
Jones, of this ooun y, and a hasty examination by
the light from a neighboring window disclosed a
ghastly wound upon his right breast from whiob
was gashinga stream of blood and air upon every
respiration. We immediately summoned tbo near
est physician to his aid, but on returning alter an
absence of but a few moments, we found him pros*
trateand in a dying ooudition. He was taken to
the otiloe of Dr. Fickiio, where he oxpirod in the
course of a few hours.
A Jury of Inqae#’was empanelled on yester
day, who, after a full investigation, rendered a
verdict t hat he came to his death from a wound
inflicted with a knife by Alexander Fitzpatrick, of
this place. Fitzpatrlok is said to have fled; at .
least, he had not been heard from up to the time of
onr going to prees.— Wat king ton Republican.
Railroad Connection.— The Montgomery Ad- •
vertiser says: “ We are gratified at being able to
state the La Grange and Atlanta Hill road has
been completed to West Point, aud that the cars
were run up to the latter pisco on Monday last,
thus making a Railroad oonneolion to the Atlantie
ports without staging—a desideratum long desired,
and most anxiously waited for. The bridge at
West Point, will be completed we are informed
by the Ist of June, the connection will then be
perfect and complete between the Montgomery
and West Point, and tho Atlanta and La Grange

came rushing into the dwelling with such rapidity
that it wus with difficulty that Mrs. ltoss escaped,

Dr. K»s is an excellent man, and it Is very much
to be regretted that no clue lias yet been obtained
as to the origin of the fire. It is supposed to have

Faoerr.—On Monday morning last we had froat
sufficient to bill Irish potatoes and some other
vegetables in our gardens. For eeversi days pre
vious it had been dry and ocoi, und on Buuday
morning it wasoold enough to form ice upon water
in the open air. Tite dry state of the ground and
