A German Reform Party.
Tho “ freo Germans” ot Lonlsville, Ky., have
issued a platform tor the organization ot a Gentian
Koform party, the proposed object of which ap
pears to be to instruct the native population of the
country in regard to what is their doty towards
other nations of the world, and wherein onrin
btitntious need amendment. The first section of
their platform, or declaration of principles, de
mands that slavery shall be excluded from all new
territory; that the fugitive slave law shall be re
pealed ; that steps shall be taken in the several
States for the gradual extinction of Slavery. The
second denounces the Sabbath Laws, Thaokagiv
ing-daye, Prayers in Congress and Legislatures,
tho oath npon the Bible, the introduction of the
Bible into Free Schools, the exclusion of llAtho
within the Dmted States, ana that tho Order of
Jesnits be treated as a declared enemy of the Re
public; and that no individual shall be allowed to
remain in the Untied States ever five years, with
out taking an Oath to support the Constitution.
The third demands the hoc cession of pnblio
lands to actual settlers, and that the poor colonists
shall be aided by national funds; that a special
office of Colonization and Emigration shall be
created us a particular department of tho U. S.
Government, to provide for the various interests
of emigrants; that the State shall interfere to pro
vent tho oppression of tbs laboring classes by tho
capitalists; and that the judicial system shall un
dergo a radical rofoira.
Tno Fourth demands the following modification
of tho Constitution of the Uuited States; that all
elections shall issue ditcctly from the people; that
any eligible citizen of uny State may be elected a
m ttuber of Congress by tho citizens of any other
State; any reprosontat.vo may at any time be re
called by a majority of his constituents and re
placed by another. Tho fifth endorses the doc
trines of freo trade. The sixth advocates the
Pacific .Railroad as a national measure. The
seventh declares that neutrality as regards foreign
policy must cease to be an article of our national
cr c.a. The eighth advocates woman’s rights.
Tho ninth dec ares that free negroes should have
ho same rights as white men. The tenth con
demns tho death penalty as irrational and barba
rous. The eleventh demands that military juris
diction bhsll be abolished in time of peace. Tho
twelfth and last declares the temperance laws
tyranical encroachments upon individual liberty,
and narrow-miudod manifestations of an entire
inisconcoption of the legislative duties.
Wo entirely agree with the New York Courier,
from which wo copy the abovo, thatit is cerutin that
no party advocating such principles cun meet with
tho slightest sympathy outside of tho German
population. Tho extreme radicalism of the em
bryo reformera will drive off many of the most
intellicent and influential Germans, whilst it will
cancectrato in bitterand determined opposition to
their schemes the ontiro native population. The
more active they may bo in advanci g their pur
purposes, tho more determined in advocating their
doctrine, the more overwhelming and cortain will
be thoir defeat. Tbongh politicians may truckle
to thorn, and partial triumphs enoourage their
hopes, yet they may rest assured that iu the end
they will have to encounter the odium and suffer
from tho overthrow of principles that never cun,
nnde r any circumstances, secure the respect or
tho consideration of tho American people. The
revulsion of feeling produced by these offorls
is already accumulating with rapidity; every
day is adding to its power, and every day is ren
dering it more uncontrolable. If not arrested by a
course of conciliation and of acquiescence in tho
Constitution and laws of tho country, it will mani
fest itsolf in tho rejection ofevery thing that has tho
support or countcnanco of tho foreign element iu
the populution of the country.— BuSlimort Ameri

The Tube. —Wo understand Mr. Boyden has
become solo ownor of tho famous horse High
binder, at a cost of somethin# over five thousand
dollars. Mr. Boyden has bought of Judge Hun
ter, of Alabama, the racing qualities for the North
ern summer campaign, of his fine filly Blonde, for
$2,000. Blonde will go into Mr. B.’s stable under
tho control of the Judge’s truiner Mr. Andrew
Jackson Minor. The rest of Mr. B.’s horses—
Highlander, 5 years old ; Compromise, 6 years
old, Terrifyer and Little Arthur, 5 years old, will
be trained by Fowler. This stable is, wo believe,
now en route for Baltimore.
Mr. Ton Broock has bought the other half of
Lexington at $5,000. He with Arrow, as a stable
companion, is new on Mi way to England, via
Kentucky aud New York. Wo regret to say
that Berry was in wretched condition and did
not start while here. His companion Charley
ltiley, proved himself about a third rate horse.—
They have left for Canada, where tho climate is,
perhaps, hotter adapted to Mr. Hendrickson’s
modoof training.
It is said Mr. Field has employed Mr. Small to
take charge of his horses, Flea, Jim Barton, and
the Wild Irishman. This stable will soon pro
coed to Kentucky. Capt. Minor has sold Mary
Taylor for SI,OOO, to Messrs. Towles and Camp
bell. She will also go to Kentucky.

The Fire Annihilatob.—An experiment was
mado on Thursday afternoon, with Phillips's flro
annihilator, under the superintendence of Mr. G.
Q. Colton, in a building erected for the purpose,
in an open lot, above Powers streot, between Ful
ton avenue and Atlan’ic street. Agentleman who
was present on tho ocoasion tells ns that:—xV. Y.
Com. Adv.
Tho building was constructed of dry pine boards
fourteen foot square, and two stories high, with a
door arid six windows. A free opening was loft
between the first and second stories, aud about
thirty pine boards were placed end wise up
through this opening. A quantity of tar barrel
staves was placed at tho bottom of those boards, to
nid tho flauios. Half the floor was covered with
dry pine shavings. Two windows in the soeend
story were left opon.
Mr. Colton said he did not claim that the auni
hilutor would extinguish largo conflagrations, or
oven supersede tho water engines. He only
oiaimed that if thoy were kept on the premises,
bo as to bo used at the first disoovery of fire, or
boforo the flames hud broken out, they could raad
ily extinguish the fire. In this way many large
Arcs might be prevented. He then set fire to the
shavings. The flames soon extonded to the up
right boards and back wall of the building. In
the space of five minutes the Are raged in every
portion of the second story. Yery few believed
that tho bi-ilding could be saved.
Mr. Colton then started the annihilators, pla
oingthem insi.-e the door, without going in him
self, and tho lames were entirely extinguished in
two minutes. Afterwards Mr. C. wont in to ex
tinguish any coals that might remain. No water
was used. There wore about three hundred peo
ple present, aud tho general opinion was, that the
annihilators had accomplished aii that had been
claimed for them. Mr. C. read a printed state
ment from the Koche ter Insurance Company that
they would insure property 15 per cent, less,
where the annihilators wore kept on th 3 premises.
The Cloths* Question. —Tho London correfl
pondant of tho New York Tribune says the diplo
matic clothes question has again been revived at
the British Court.
“The livery question is again revived. Several
members of the American Legation wero present
yestotoay at the drawing room held by tho Queen.
111 the belief that the great American complication
was already settled in England, they appeared in
‘cilia?;Vß dress,* and, indeed, looked like the only
gentlemen among unsightly Englishmen in the
awkward Court costume. But suddenly the blas
ter of Ceremonies approached one of them iu great
oonaternation. and remarked that the Queen had
airuauy gone an far as possible, by not objecting
to e plain black attire, but American Republican
was presuming rather too far—pointing to the ele
gant pantaloons of the gentlemen; black small
clothes would do—but pantaloons I It was worse
than Ihe annexation of Texas. In fact, he pro
tested solemnly against this breach of etiquette—
which it scema cannot bear pantaloons. The
Amerioan gentlemen most gallantly kept their
grouud, and did not heed the protestation.”
The Wabin Feasc*. —The Oriental war is by
no means so popular among the masses in France
as in England. The correspondent of the Lon
don Times describing the departure of the French
expeditionary army from Toulon says:
“There were not more than fifty persons assem
bled at the cliff near fort St. Louis, the best point
for witnessing the departure of the expedition.—
There were no cheers raised, ner handkerchiefs
waved, as there would have been in England when
the ships passed close to the land. There were
no salutes fired, and but for the bright sunshine,
the scene would have been dull, if not melancholy.
1 remarked to a spectator how much I was aston
ished at the absence of enthusiasm among the
people on such an occasion; to which he replied,
“ router rout, Montitur; the industrious classes
are occupied at their daily laoor, and the shop
keepers are both cold and selfish. Theyilose their
beet customers by the departure of the fleet, and
they teel nod6sireto witness it. An old man of
the humbler classes, exclaimed in a plaintive tone,
There goes my only child to fight, for a cause he
does not understand, and against men with whom
he never had a difference.’’
Pkxtzntion of Go CNTEftrsiting. —A few weeks
since the Banks of Boston offered a reward of s6oo
to any person who would so arrange bank bills that
they could not be counterfeited. The reward has
drawn out a large number of inventors. 6. Bully,
of Ida Hills, Troy proposes to form bank notes by
weaving any design in silk, linen or cotton, in
black on a white ground. These notes could all
be made on the bank premises, and several oo rid
be woven in one, and afterwards separated. Geo.
A. Clark, of Fail Biver, Mass., proposes to manu
facture bank bills in nearly the same manner. E.
F. French, of Franklin, Vt., proposes to perforate
the letters whioh express tne denomination oi the
bill. SI. Gerhard,, of Delaware, Ohio, propoees
the same plan exactly. N. Young, of Lancaster
Ohio, in a second letter propoees the same plan,
only that it shall be the name of the bank which
shall be perforated, and that ablank space should
be left in the centre of each bill for this purpoee.
George Barley, of Richmond, Ya., suggests that
nearly the whole face of the bill be occupied with
the figuresexpressing its value, so that the whole
would have to be altered. Which or these will
be adopted by our Boston friends remain to be
seen.
Bcuetors.—A meeting of considerable interest,
has been in progress in th . Baptist Church in this
place for the last two or three weeks, under the
direct.on of the Castor, Bev. Mr. Daniel, assisted
by the Bev. Messrs. Wilk s, Irvin and Cook.
Several secessions, we are happy to learn, have

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 3,1854.
From Hr. George Walli*' Special Report.
The Cotton Manufactures in iho Lolled fcta’ea.
Tue New England establishments are conduct
ed upon a similar principle to the largest cotton
factories of Great Britain, and rpinningand man
ufacturing are carried on as one concern. This,
howe er, is not the characteristic of the mills in
the above States, as thoy are, in many instances,
employed in spinning only, and in Pennsylvania,
Georgia, ai d Tennessee, yarns are produced chiel
ly for the purposes of domestic manufacture by
hand, which still obtains in many parts of the
older States of the Union. Thus, while in Penn
sylvania the capital invested amounts bnt to about
one-seventh of that ot Massachusetts, the quan
tity of cotton consumed is one fifth, the value of
the raw material not quite one-fourth, the number
of operatives (male and female) one-fonrth, the
value rather more than one-fourtn, the number
of pounds of yarn spun and sold as yarn is above
thirty times greater in Pennsylvania than in Mas
sachusetts. This, to a certain extent, gives a k y
to the difference in the modes of manufacture in
the two states,and illustrates the distinction ai
ready ailuded to. There can be no doubt, howev
er, that domestic weaving is gradually giving way,
and those manufacturers, especially in Pennsylva
nia, who formerly did a prosperous business as
spinners only, now find that the Eastern States
supply the piece goods at a rate so little above the
cost of tli3 yarn, that it is not worth the while of
the farmer to continue this primitive custom of
weaving his own cloth. Thus, the domestic loom
is fust following the spinning wheel of the early set
tlers, and those manufacturers who until recently
haveßpan yarn only, are gradually introducing
the power loom as the only moans of snataimng
their position in the market. This was illustrated
by a visit to the Eigle Cotton Mill, Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania. Formerly the proprietors spun
yarn alone, and did a successful trade; but, by a
return with which they favored me, 1 find that in
eix establishments under their direction, they had
introduced already 540 looms to the 86,000 spin
dles, and were manufacturing sheetings at the
rate of #,000,000 yards par annum, together with
twilled cotton bags, batting and yarns, from s’s
system had become the rule of the establishment,
and with 7,ooosp\ndles and 207 looms, 2,730,000
yards of sbirt-ngs wore produced annnally, bo
sides 240,000 lbs. weight of colored yarns for
cotton warps and cotton rope.
At two establishments at Eichmond, Virginia,
the consumption of the yarn, in the manufacture of
piece goods, was also the rule; and this being the
oxtent of my journey southwaid, it became a mat
ter of interest to inquire as to the progress of the
cotton manufacture in the cotton-growing States.
Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina won quo
ted as those in which the greatest progress nad
been made ; while Virginia, South Carolina and
Alabama were tbe next. In Tennessee, spinning
would appear to be the rule, and manufacturing
the exception. In Georgia and North Carolina
equal attention is paid to Doth: whilein Virginia,
South Carolina and Alabama the manufacture oi
piece goods is decidedly more extensively carried
on than spinning only. Slave labor is said to bo
largely used, with free whites us overseers and
instructors.
In the two establishments above named free
white labor alone is employed. The males are
heads of departments, machinists,,drossers, &e.,
and the females are spinners and weavers.—
The latter are chiefly adults, though ohildreu from
twelve to fifteen are employed. The average hours
of work here arc twelve, but vaiy a little with the
season; -ery fulltime being the rale. At least
such is the statement of the manager of the James’
liiver Company’s Mill. This establishment, as also
the Manchester Cotton Company’s Mill, is at Man
Chester, Chesterfield county, Virginia, and situa
ted opposite to Eichmond, on the James’ river,from
the falls on which the water power used for driv
ing tbe machinery is derived. The Jainos Kiver
Mil l produces a large weight of work for the extent
of its machinery. Tho goods manufactured are
coarse cottons, and average about yards to the
pound; shirtings, 28 inches wide, (osnaburgs,)
summer pantaloons for slaves, and bagging for ex -
port to tho Brazils tor sugar bugs, running about
three yards to the pound. B igging of a lighter
character, for grain, and 86 inoh osnaburgs, two
yards to tbe pound, are also produced. The Man
chester Company manufacture sheetings, shirtings
and yarns, and employ about 325 operatives, the
children being of the some average ago as at the
James’ Kiver Mill. Tho manager, Mr. Whitehead,
is an Englishman, as is also the chief mechanic.—
The former has jnst perfected a patent “speeder,”
of which the latter expressed a very high opinion.
Its advantages ato u greater speed, a more even
roving, and a bobbing of any de-irab!e size, which
nevor becomes Bpongy in tho winding.
Tho small devolopcinent of the cotton manufac
ture in tho States ot Indiana, Mississippi and Ar
kansas, or even those of Ohio and Kentucky, re
quired uo special inquiry. In Mar land, however,
there wore twenty-four establishraer ts in 1850,
chiefly engaged in inanu aeturing piece goods, such
as drillings, sheeting, ducks, osnaburgs and bag
ging. The yarns produced lor domestic purposes
bear but a small proportion to those manufactured
into ooth, and 'hese are chiefly sold within the
State for the home weaving of mixed fabrics of
wool and ootton, forming coarse linseys. The wool
is mostly spun by hand in the farm houses, and
tho fabrics, when made, aro entirely for domes'ie
use. In iiaryiaod, too, b eaching is carried ox to
a considerable extent.
Having thus endeavored to illustrate the posi
tion of the cotton manufacture in thoform in which
it has developed itcolf in the South, and so far as
circumstances would permit of an inquiry, in the
middle Statos, bordering on the West, the manu
facturing system, as manifested in the cotton trade
of New England, d niands consideration. If the
illustrations given show the early progress and po
silions ol' this manufacture in the United States,
so far as daily recurring improvements and over
increasing wants have permittedjt to remain ip its
original form, tbe inanuiketurlug towns of Lc vra!,'
Manohoster and Lawrence strikingly demonstrate
tho results of tho energy and enterprise of the
manufactures of New England.
At Lowell, Massachusetts, the Cotton mannfao
turo has been developed in a form wbioh bas been
a theme for many writers ou the economy and
social bearings of the factory system; and the
plans so successfully put into operation h re, and
earned ou since 1822, nave led to the erection of
lurge establishments, with their attendant heard
ing houses, at Manchester, New Hampshire, and,
more recently at Lawrence, Massachusetts; whilst
a commencement has been made at Holyoke, in
the same State, by the Hadley Fails Company,
which promises a result of a more extraordinary
character than anything yet achioved in the Uni
ted Stateß. Each of these localities present sea
turos peculiar to themselves, u d, besides tbe
manufacture of ootton goods, other branches of
production in textile fabrics are carried ou.
Tho falls of the Pawtucket on the Merrimack
rivor and the Pawtucket canal, which had pre
viously boon used only for the purposes of navi
gation, and connecting the river above and below
the falls by means cf locks, presented to the
original projectors of Lowell a site for the solution
of an important problem, not only in Amorican
indust y, but, to a great extent, in that of Europe
itself. This was the combination of great natura
advantages with a large and well directed capital,
resulting in oxtensive and systematic operations
fertile realization of tho legitimate profit, while
tho soeial position of the operative classes was
seditiously oared for, and their moral and intel
lectual elevation promoted and secured. The ex
ample lias no,. been lost, even in Europe, and tho
possibilities of tho manufacturing system of a
country boing carried on without deterioration,
bnt, on tbe contrary, to the consolidation and pro
motion of the best interest of tho laboring classes,
having been so unmistakably proved, many im
provements in the larger manufactories of Eng
land, not only of those ougnged in the manulacturo
of cotton, but in other branches ot indust.y, have
resulted from die enlightened and profitable sys
tem commenced barely thirty years ago by tho
founders ot Lowell, which is now a city containing
neatly 85,000 inhabitants.
In that place thero aro eight manufacturing cor
porations, exclusively employed in the manufac
ture of ootton goods, two of which print and dye
their own fabrics, and one company (Lowell Man
ufacturing Company) which manufactures cotton
osnaburg- in addition to its staple production of
carpets. There are 85 mills, besides the print
works abovenamed, belonging to these companies.
These produce 2,182,000 yards of piece goods per
woek, consisting chiefly of sheetings, shirtings,
drillings, and printing cloths, varying in quality
from No. 13 to No. 40. The groatcr portion, how
ever, are No. 14'aand No.lß’s. The consumption
of cotton ia 745,000 lbs. per week, span and man
nfaotnrod upon 820,782 spindles and #,954 looms.
Tho average per spindle ia yards per day, the
medium produce of a loom being, in It’s 45 yards,
and to’s S 3 yards per day.
The number ot operatives employed in tho cot
ton manufacture by the eight corporations exclu
sively engaged therein, is 6,920 females and 2,888
males. This, however, does not exclude those
employed by the Lowell Manufacturing Company
in their cotton m ils, as the returns only show the
gross number of bands engaged in tbe cotton, car
pet, and other departments of that establishment
The average wages of females, clear of board, is
#2, or about 9s. 6d. sterling per woek, whilst the
wages of males slow an average of $4 SO or about
£1 2s. storing per week. Tbe average hours of
labor per day, exclusive of meals, is 12, the mille
commencing at 6 a. m. and closing at 7 p. m.
Os the quality of the goods produced, it will be
sofiUieut to eay , that they are generally excellent
of their class, .and quite equal, sometimes supe
rior, to similar manufactured in Britain. Those of
Lowell msy be taken as fair examples of otter
cotton mills in the United States, possessing tbe
same advantages as regards power, Improved ma
chinery, and intelligent operatives. In spinning,
it will be seen that the numbers are low, tbe finer
quality of ootton goods not being prodnoed. Tbe
No. 40’s “printers” manufactured by the Merri
mack Company being the highest class. These
when printed, are of a firm and excellent fabric.
The Lowell Manufacturing Company produce a
very cheap and woil looking fabric for ootton
trouserings at or about 9}£d. sterling per
yard. These are made np of dyed varns in checks
and stripes, and are woven on Gingham looms.

You w:h observe, with pleasure, that there are to

Her commerce will not be interrupted except by

keep quiet so as not to check confidence in the
United States securities, by any threatened war,
capital wiil flow to your side, so as to enable the
Americana to finish their most important rail a ays,
and the country will prosper beyond all former

HELsiNGFOBS.
In Nyland, tttlic we .t ot Viborgs, is Helsingfors,
the present cantal of the Duchy, on a tongue of
land in the Gdf of Finland, witfiabout 16,000 in
habitants, antj the strong fortress of Svouborg pro
tecting the entrance of the harbour. Helsingfors lies
latitude 61 d«. 9 min. di sec. N., long. 24 deg. 57 in
min. 80 sec, i., st the nouth of the Vanna, about
180 miles V/.N. W. of St. Petersburg. The town
is, historically speaking, comparatively of modern
creation, having been touuded by Gustavus Vasa;
in the sixteenth cet tuiy ; its name came from a
colony of the province of ilolsioglaud, which had
been established in the neighborhood for sovoral
centuries. In I*B9, howe’ er, the town changed
its site, and the in- alniants moved their wooden
bouses near tho sea-sh -re, and on tho spot whore
Helsingfors now stau ’.; wui, plague, famine, and

century found it vlf'i onty a population of 5000
souls. At tl epref... it numbers 16,000

in 1827, also materially ia-/raised its importance.—
The stroeta are long, lu.-ge, and laid out at right
angles, as in most other Russian town 3.
The remains of the library saved from the fire
of Abo is at present preserved in this building.—
It consists of about 80,000 volumes, chiefly edi
tions of the classics taken by Charles the Twelfth
from the monasteries during the Sovn Years’
War. An extensive collection of Sagas and histo
rical documents relating to the history cf Finland
unfortnnatoly fell aprey to the flames. Tho num
bor of studonts who murtienlatod at the University
of Helsingfors in the wiuterterm of 1651 was 491.
Tho celebrated Arabian t eholar and traveller,
Prof. Wailin, died lut3iy rt this University.
The harbor is capacious, and ranks as ouo of the
best in tne B.ltio, aud on important trade is 0 r
ried on in timber, core, and fish. Helsingfors is
the reddonoe of tho Governor Geueral, and the
scats of important courts and public offices—it
contains tho Sona'.u House, sovoral churches, and
hae inannfaeurtes of linen, sailcloth, and tobaoeo.
There are several agreeable walks iu tho neighbor
hood, among which the forests of Stauavik, the
solitary coast near Maitand, aud th- verdant gar*
dens of Praeskenda areohiefly noticeable.
Tho approach to Helsingfors by wuter is exceed
ingly striking. Tho harbor is well protected by
the "works and lortress of Sveaborg, which aro
built upon seven island*. Tho fortifications are
said to mount 800 cannon, with barracks and case
ments for a garrison of 12,000 men. Tho strength
of this fortress is suolt that it has been termed the
Gibraltar of the Worth. Tho original fortress was
erected by Count Ehrensvaerd, Field Marshal of
Sweden, by theeommsud of Gustavus the first; it
waa destroyed in the Russian war, aud a Swedish
army under Count Lovenhaupt, surrendered by
capitulation to ibe Russians. The laststonoof the
new citadel was laid ir. 1753, and alter the con
quest of Vibcg a .,d lngcrmania by Peter the
Great, thisft rtress was tin- last rampart of Sweden
against the Russian!, end the rallying point of
the troops and fleet. In March 1808, it wub be
si-god by the Rut .U»s, and two mouths after Ad
miral Cronstadt, who defonded the place with
1500 moa and two frigates, capitulated, though
Well furnished with every munition of war. The
secret of this oapitulation, witiioiit example in his
tory, was never known.
Railroad Mail '-kbti.e. —Among the remarka
ble changes iu the Tost Office system of the coun
try is the largely increaseJ transportation of the
mails by railroads. Instead of 4,847,400 miles as
in tho fiscal year 184 T-8, the transportation of mails
by railroad last yeur was no less than 12,986,705
milos. The changes are observable mostly in
New York, Ohio and Michigan. The former hav
ing increased from 786,076 mites in 1847 8 t08,009,-
959 miles in the year 1852 8, and in Michigan from
149,76’J miles to 602,868 in the same period ; and
in Ohio from 96,929 miios to 1,225,992 miles. Iu
order to show the changes within the short period,
1848-1858, (five years) we famish a recapitulation

Bayard Taylor relates the following amusing in
cident in his ovro experience in Arabia:
While in Arabia, I had a very remarkable expe
rience. Thereb a drug in the Best whose effect is
like that of opium; it b prepare 1 from the Indian
hemp. It was much used by the Saracen warriors
when about to enter battle, as a stimulus. It pro
duces oc the imagination a doableconsciousness;
one part of tho mind eeems to. study, while the
other part looks on. From motives of curiosity, I
was persuaded 10 try the effects of it on my own
system. I was in Damascus at the time. Soon
after taking the drug the effect began to appear.—
I saw the farnitore in the room, t&iked with the
company, and yet I seemed to be near the pyramid
of Cheops, wtoreblocka of stone appeared to ms
like huge squares of Virginia tobacco. The scene
change ', and I wss on the desert in a boat made of
mother of pearl. The sand seemed grains of Ins
trious gold, through which my boat ran as easily as
on the waves of the sea; tne air seemed tilled with
harmonies of the sweetest music ; the atmoepbeie
was filled with light, with odors and music. Before
me seemed to M a constant series of arcades
of rainbows, through which, for fifteen years, I
seemed to glide. The finer sense* were developed,
snd all gratification wss s single harmonious sen
sation- Hence, we can easily conceive the origin
of the Arabian Nights. My companion, a hege
Kentuekian, tried the drug with an amusing ef
fect. After looking at me for a while, he started
up with the kxelamation, “I’ma locomotive,” and
began to cut off his words like the puff of au en
gine, and to work like the moving or the wheels.
At last, he seized the water jag fora drink, bat set
it down with a yell, saying “how can I take
water into my boiler, when I am letting off
steam."
Increase of Postage.
Tho proposition now bstoreCougieas to inci-n't ;
the postage on letters should receive irom aii sec
tions of the country a decided and universal ex- :
pression of disapprobation. It is a libel on tl.e I
spirit of the age, which demands the freest and I
cheapest mer.es of postal communication as ouc of I
the great and necessary wunts of tue country. The i
chiet, and indeed, the only argument udduced •
to sanction the proposed increase is the taimre of I
the post office deportment revenues to meet its ex |
peases. But this argument loeos whatever force ;
it may properly have possessed when the fact is j
known that the expeusea of the department over !
its receipts are entirely caused by the large mass of I
franked documents that encumber the mails. Tee i
piivate newspaper and letter mails wonld fully
meet the charge of their transportation at the pres
ent rates if it were not for the enormous influx ol
free matter, which it is sought to make the legiti
mate busines of the department pay for. Hoc t
meets literally by the ton, of au eulirely parliztn
character, and utterly worthless to tho country, are
soot from Washington under the franks of mem
bers of Congress, encumbering and dolaying the
transportation of the mails and adding largely to
their cost. If it be absr lately uecessary that the
franking privilege shall be used, or rather abased,
to this extent, the sxpenses incident to it may pro
perly be charged to tne expenditures of Congress,
and not laid upon the postal department to be
brought forward as a reason for increasing the tax
npon private correspondence.
The business and social interest of tho country,
which contribute most largely to the sup-'ort of
the post-office, aro to the smallest extent concern
ed in the distribution of partisan speeches, and it
members o! Congross were entirely cut off from
using the mails us a pack-horse for tbe disssn.ina
timofthose documents, no substantial iuteresta
of tbe country would suffer, nor would any gener
al complaint arise therefrom. The rapid inoreaso
and dissemination of the public press in this conn
try, has also rendored unneoessary, to a great ex
tent, this use of the faaukiug privilege. No im
portant movement in Congress, no speech that de
serves to live beyond the echo ofthoCapitol wai.s,
but is seized by the Telegraph and proclaimed b„>
hundreds of journals to the people of every sec
£» of the count’}’. . .Tc iopgaf the mads
with political speeches that no mail Vexported to
■road, is ot Itself an absurdity—to make it r u ex
euso for an increase of postage upon tho commer
cial and social intercourse ot the country, is some
thing so lor beyond the limits of common sense
that the project should be contemptuously hustled
out of the halls of Congress. It it is necescary
for political purposes to return tho franking privi
lege, lot its exponses bo made the subject of
separate estimate, end paid for ont ot the general
treasury. We should then bo able to Judge wie
ther tho cheap postage system is not able to sus
tain itself.— Rail. Amer.
Washington's Farewell Address.
Tito late absurd rumors in relation to the nu
thorship of tho Hnlsemann letter dieted numerous
allusions to this immortal paper, which betray u
mortifying iguorance, among oven intelligent peo
ple concerning one of the most interesting passa
ges in tho file of Washington. The impression
was, indeed, at ouo period quite general, that t 1 c
Farewoli Address was substantially as well usver
bally the production of Alexander Hamilton
founded chiefly open tho fact that a copy was dis
covered among the papers of the latter in hie
bandwriting—uud, judging from the recent nllu
sions to which we have referred, itisstillfoogene
rally considered as having derived much ol its in
comparable merit from the accomplished intellect
of Hamilton, to whose revision it was unquestionn
bly submitted. This is at once unjust to the
memory of Washington, and disgraceful to the
intelligence of his countrymen. The authorship
of the Farewell Address was settled, for all who
have intellectual or patriotic pride enough to mas
terthe records of American vreuluess, as euriy r.s
1811. In that year the pure and illustrious Jay
addressed his celebrated lettor to Judge Fctcrt,
from which we bog to make the following uxtracl
lor tbe benefit of our younger readers :
“Some time before tho address app.arod, Colonel
(afterwards Gouorul) Hamilton informed uio that
ho had rccoivod a letter irom President Washing
ton, and with it tho draught of a farewell address,
which the President had prepared, and on which
he requested our opinion. Ho then proposed Paul
we should fix on a day, for an interview at my
house on thesubject. A day was accoidingly ap
pointed. On that clay Col. Hamilton attended.—
Ho obsorvod to me in words to this off-el—thai,
after having read and examined the draught, it
appeared to him to be susceptible of improve merit,
that ho thought the easiest and best way was t ,
leave the draught untouched, and to write tin
whole over, with sueh amendments, alterations
and corrections as he thought were adviaablo, ami
that he had done to. Hu then proponed to road
it, and to make it the subject of our consideration
This being agreed to, ho read it, and wo proceed
ed deliberately to consider it, paragraph by para
graph, until tho whole met with our mutual appro
bation. Some amendments were made during
the interview, bn none of much importance.—
Although this business had boon hastily despatch
ed, yet, aware oftho consequcuca of such a paper,
I suggested tho giving it a further critical exami
nation; but be declined it, saying that lie was
pressed for time, and was anxious to return the
draught to the Prcsidout witkent delay. It
afterwards occurred to mo, that a certain proposi
tion was expressed in terms too general and
unqualified, and I hinted it in a letter to the Prcsd
dent.
“As the business took tkeoourseabovo mention
ed, a recurrence to the draught was unneoessary,
and it was not road. Theta was this advantage in
the course pursued : the President’s draught re
mained (as delicacy required) fai , and not obscurer!
by interliuoatious, <fec. By comparing it with a
paper sent with it, lie wonld obseive tho emendu
tions and corrections that were proposed; and
wquULfindibemstanding in their iotwidad places.
Hencu he was enabled to review ar.JTo OSes id on
the whole matter with numb greater clearness and
facility than if he had received them in separate
and dotaohed notes, and with detailed releren.es
to the pages and lines, where thoy wore advised
to be introduced.”
This is, briefly, an authentic history of the
address by one personally conversant with the
facts, and was perhaps the only man who ever
enjoyod Washington’s •unlimited confidence. —

The Feast of Unleavened Bread. —Tho Pass
over, one of the principal ritos ot the Hebrews,
began on Thursday of lust week, and dosed
Wednesday. In noticing the observance cf this
feast in Baltimore, a writer in the American, ro
peats what all Gentileß may not ho aware of, that
it has been observed by the Israelites siueo the
days of the Egyptian bondage, and was instituted
to commernora'o the providential escape of tho He
brews irom Egypt, when God sinoto the liret born
of that people und passed over the houses of the
Israelites, and marked tho lintels und door posts
with the blood of the Pasolial Limb. It was ori
ginally celebrated on the first fuff moon of the
Jewish year, from the 14th to tho 21st of the mouth
Nisan, answering to the latter days of March and
the first days of April. Before the ocpivity of the
Israelites it was called Abib, uud niter wards Nisan.
During tbe feast, which continues for eight days,
unleavened bread only is used, and on the fliai
day of tho feast, and in every bouse a iamb uluugh
tored by a Rabbi was served without any of its
bones being broken, of which all partook. This
was tho principal festival of tho Jews, and was
typical of tho death of-Christ for the salvation of
tne world. Though the oeiemouics are now some
what different from the original feast, in the main
they arc the same and are regarded with great
respect by those professing the Jewish faith
throughout tho world.

The City or Glasgow.— Every bopo of the
safety of this steamship and her passengers is ru-
Eidly dissipating. It was hoped that news might
ave by this time been received of her having j ut
into the Azores to repair some slight damage or
obtain supplies of coal; but evon this hope has boen
disappointed. The barquo Itliona from Antwerp
arrived at Now York on Friday, having beeii
obliged to put into I’ayal in distress. Sl:o left

the City of Glasgow. This wa3 thirty ihreo days
after the Glasgow sailed from Liver) 001, and i.l

refuge, unless she was entirely 'disabled or
hemraed-m in the ice much moTe completely than
tho other vessels, that have enoonnterad it. The
dates from Liverpool are to April Bth, late enough
for the Glasgow to have crossed the ocean twine,
at her ordinary rate, and the hope of her having

to these matteis. Within a comparatively short
time, they have been furnished with heavy shell
guns (termed “Columbia” guns) of large calibre
and the moat approved patters. The old style of

Accident ash Slbsioal Ombatios. —On Sunday
morning last, a negro man belonging to Mr. Daniel
Stewart, of Savannah, a,.d employed at the Brick
Yard above the city, was, while lying on the Cen
tral Ea'lroad track, struck by the cow-catcher of
the morn’ng down train, and had his arm so
badly shattered by the eillioioa, as to render am
putation at the thouldtr j ,int necessary. This op
eration was accordingly performed at 9 o’clock, A.
M., and at 10 o’clock the patient wa9 removed to
to the priva’e boepita) of Dr*. Wildman <fc Oanahl
in a favorable condition for recovery. This the
second capital operation of this kind performed by
Dr. Wildman, in thie State, and perhaps the only
operations of this character ever performed in
Georgia. The first was that of an Irishman in
Columbus, Ga., in June of 1847, who recovered.
If the second case is successful, it will be equally
a triumph of surgical art as of the skill of tne Sur
geon.—Macon Citizen.
Mb. FniltoßS.—A committee, appointed for that

Macon, on Thursday last, and, in bebaif of the cit

Kennedy to visit the Metropolis and partake of its

Milledgevilie, having arranged to be in Savannah
on Friday evening last, and Charleston on the
Monday following. Both the Ex-President and
Ex-Secretary expreesed their regret* that their en

England, India, and tbe United State*.
! From the earliest ages, the most exaggerated and
1 erroneous ideas have prevailed, in Europe, and her
I Colonies, concerning the woalth of India, and the
1 extent of her influence on the destinies of the civ
i i.ized world. But never, perhaps, have those ideas
' oeon more forcibly expressed than by the eloquent
tionalor from California, during the course ot that
■ very interesting and instructive speech, which he
i recently delivered in the Senate of the United
! States, in support ot the Pacific llailroad.
This honorablo gontleman did not hesitate to as
! sort, on that ocecsion, that the wealth, the power,
j and the greatuesa of England had arisen from her
Custern Empire.
“There sho stands now,” says he, “in all the
nlentitude of her power, ruliiug directly or indi
f otly, in the East, one hundred and twenty-seven
millions of people. The wealth which she has
poured it* upon the British Isles from the East, is
jejoud oatimate. It has made the seat of her pow
er a City of Palaces, and adorned its inhabitants
with a profusion of wealth and luxury, to which
there is no parallel in the history of the world. It
tins covered tho ocean W'th her fleets, consolidated
the national power so that, while she defied the
continent of Europo in arms, it has given that
strength by which she haa hitherto beeu able to
beep uubrokon tho chain that binds her numerous
colonies, dotted around the great circle of the
earth, and on which the sun nover sots. It has
given her means by which representatives of her
strength are placed upon every Bea, to assert her
power and defend her interests.”
We have seldom seen an extrnot, so slv-rt os
that, so heavily freighted with error and exaggera
tion. Senator Gwin doubtless supposes that ii En
gland did not possess India, Loudon, the seat of her
power, would he another Lacedasmon, whose coin
would boos irou, and the only luxury ot whose
inhabitants would bo the black broth in whioh .he
Spartan palate so much delighted. He fancies that,
wore it not for Indio, England would not cover
the ocean with her fleets—could not keep unbrok
en that chain whioh binds together heT numorous
colonies—could not maintain, on every sea and In
every zone, those proud representatives of her
strength that protect in all lands the person and the
property cf l.er citizens, nor send forth those
magnificent armaments that astouieh Europo and
confound tyrants. lie inagiues, in fact, tb(p@“ ,
land, without India, would bo neither rich,“Trot'
powerful, nor groat; that England, bereft of In
dia, would quickly become weak, paralyzed, and
impotent, buck is the high estimate thal the Sen
ator from California has formed concerning the
value of that Empire that England has acquired in
the East.
But what ground had he, commercial or finan
cial, for the formation of that estimate ? Senator
Gwin is a statesman, and must be aware that no
nation can cover tho ocean with her fleets, or maiu
a n authority over distaui and scattered colonies,
or protect tho lives and rights of her citizens in re
mote and barbarous countries, or fit out mighty
trmaments to humble tho pride of the oppressor,
without having at command an abundant and
rrerflowing revenue, it is the possession of this
ill-power fill instrument that has enabled England
odo groat things. But does the honornblo gou
tlctnan really suppose that she has drawn the
treater poition of that revenue, or even any con
siderable portion of it, from her Indian Empire?
If he does, no supposition oan bo more errouoous.
India isindoed n line country—a very flue country
lor aristocratic adventurers to repair their for
i unea in, but to tho State, she has been oftenor a
burden than a benefit. A glance at tho statistical
tables published annually, by order of the British
House of Commons, will convince any unpreju
diced person that ludiahas never been a liberal
rid regular contributor to tho Imperial treusury;
that she has been more frequently UDder the no-
Ocssity of boing a debtor than in a position to
Irocomo a creditor to Britain; and that even rocky,
norutainons Scotland, and poor, prostrate Ire
land, have furnished the Government with a lur
tior amount of revenue for tho maintenance of its
fleets und armies, than that immonso and much
extolled country. The averngo income of the
British Government may bo sat down at about
.650,000,000 storiing annually; tho average reve
nue yearly derivod irom India, a> about one-! wen
tieth of that enormous sum! Yot India is the
country, according to Senator Gwin, that has rn
.ibled England to make those extraordinary dis
plays of power, on ovory sea und in every clime,
hat have excited the wonder and admirutiou or
other lands 1
but though India has ever been a poor contribu
tor to tho Imporiul Treasury, perhaps tho value of
hor exports, und tho greatn ss or her imports, innjr
have given nil impetus to the industrial onergios of
tho British people, thst has added materially to the
prosperity ana power of the empire, and mado
ample atonement to it for her financial and mone
tary deficiencies. The commerce of a country so
vast and so populous a» India, must always be of
considerable importance. In proportion to its
extent, its continuance must ever have a favorable
clfect on the prosperity of the country with which
it is chiefly carried ou, while its interruption or
cessation must, in an equal degree, prove injurious
to the interests of hor inhabitants. The com
merce of India is undoubtedly of importance to
England; bat in comparison to that of a country
of whioh we shall presently speak, it is not of
much value or consideration. Its imports into
England, save to a very small extent, are not ar
tioles of “ prime necessity.” Its exports from
thence do not entitle India to take her stand in tho
first rank of Britain’s customeis. The populaoe
of the Three Kingdoms are not depending on her
commerce for either food or employment. Its dis
continuance or interruption would not shut up the
factories of their great oities, or raiso rebellion in
their streets, or Induce governmental and national
bankruptcy. Hi nee it appears that while India is
the El Dorado .of civil and military adventurers,
while wealth snd ma.nifloenco aro everywhere
associated with her uame, she is nevertheless not
of muoh consmeration financially, nor of para
mount importance commercially, to England.
India is not the heart ol the British Empire, the*'
life-blood of Britain is not there: and though tho
commerce of India wero lost to England, though
the Empire of ludia were lost to England, though
India were sunk in tlis ocean, England would still
survive; tho spirit and the energies of her own
peoplo would still uphold hor; hor prosperity, hor
power and her greatness would still bo unim
paired. But thero is a oountry on this side of tho
Atlantic which, though not politically couneotod
with England, or in any way subject to her, is yot
as really indispensable to her woalth, her power,'
and her groutness, as India is imagined to be,
notwithstanding that Sonator Gwin omitted all
notice ol that country’s importance in this respect,
oven his own native land.
The United States of America are the real India
of England—not tho ludia oi the aristooracy, hut
of the people and ol the Empire. Whoean over
estimate tho importance of the oomrnerco of tho
United States to England? Who oan over-esti
mate the injuries that any cessation of that com
merce woula inflict on bar interests! The com
merce of the United Stales gives England food for
her people, and material to employ them. The
commerce of the United States relieves England
annnuily of liar surplus population, and a great
part of her surplus manufactures. The commerce
■>f the United States enables her mechanics to
earn goo J wages—her capitalists to mako princoly
fortunes—her oitisons in general, to pay those
enormous taxes that support the powor und the
•/reatne sos the 3tsle. With a social system so
artificial, and complex as is hers, what would be
the condition oi England without thsoonimerco of
the United State-f Without the cotton of tho
South, how could sho employ the population of her
great towns? Without the corn of the North and
West, how could she feed them? Without an
outlet and a place of refuge for her destitute
and starving workers, what would become
ot them ? And with the operatives of her
greet cities unemployed, with food up to
luinine prices, with her capitalists fleeing from her
shores, and want and suffering and riot and rebel
lion in her streets, where would be her enormous
revenue, her stately navies, hor military power!
Without the agricultural prodnoteof tile United
States, England, under present circumstances,
oouid have neither proeparity, nor poaco at home,
nor revenue to mtvntam those floats and armies
i hat uphold hor authority alroad. The loss of
the commerce of India would prove for a while
injurious to ner interests—the loss of the Empire
ot India wou d give pain to the national pride, and
prove a sore loss to the younger members ot aris
tocratic houses; but in tho estimation of the Brit
ish people and the British Government, th« one
and the other would be os nothing in comparison
to the loss of the cointnerco of the United States.
Sib Charles Nafier. —Sir Charles Napier has as
little of the heroic look as any man yon over saw.
He is stout, burly, and square in figure. His
features are ordinary. His aspect that of a mere

i as many farmers wear. Ho has a very good-na
tured expression of countenace. His hair is white
—that is, such of it as remains. Ho has a slight
limp, from a severe wound in tho thigh, received in
the engagement in August, 1808, between his brig
Recruit and the French corvette Diiigento. He is
fond of rural lile, and (as Lord Palmerston ob
served) is an excellent fanner, well versed in
subsoil ploughing, tho alternation of green and
cereal crops, the use and abuse of manures, anti all
that relates to a country life. As a speaker he is

The following interesting story, (which is sup
posed to bs related by a Coudnotor on the Balti
more and Washington Railroad,) not only shows
tho power of a kind aotion, but is a striking evi
dence of that gratitude for favor, whioh is so
characteristic of tho sons aud daughters of "Greou
E-m." It tcaohes a good lesson, and should ‘‘go
tho rounds” of tho press:
‘‘lt’s not often a man loses anything by kind
ness. 1 know a little matter of that sort saved
my life, und perhaps the lives of many others at
tho same time.”
“How was that #” askod woof our friend Baw
liugs, tho model conductor.
“Why, we had an Irishman on this road watch
inga tnnuel. It was warm weather, so ho use !to
take a little liquor when he was louoaome; uuy
way, ho laid down on the track one day to listen
for the cars. Ha foil asleep, and very imprudently
got hiß head taken off by the express train. Wail,
there was the last of that Irishman. There was
the devil’s own row in his shanty when wo took
the poor leliow up, and wo got away as soon as we
decently could, for you know it’s not agreeable to
be surrounded with a distracted family whan
you’re neither a doctor nor a nurse nor a preacher.
Someh.-w I was always sorry when l passed that
place: of course I felt as if—not cxaotly the same
thing—but just as bad might happen to me some
day, and then thero’d be another row in a family.
I told my wife übout it, aud she sent the family
some little things. The widow of the dead Irish
man was a Catholic, and, as 1 was then on a very
fast train, I would sometimes take up tho old wo
man on Sunday and carry her to ohurch al Mar
tinsburg. I somehow thought it was a autistaolion
to hur to go to eburoh, lor she had but little change
in tho world, auy how. I certainly did not expect
to got any ibiug lor it in this world, and I expected
they had so much scored against me in the other
that it wouldn’t amount to auy thing there.
“That waa during the summer. One night the
next winter it was vory cold, and the mountains
were covered with snow; we wore running to
make time, when, on turning a curve, the engi
neer saw a wuviug light on the track, and we soon
heaid some one ahead shouting. I was then out
on the platlorm. The engineer slacked up and
stopped the engine, and we got out and went
ahead in the dark to sec what was the matter.—
ThcM it was. A large lurtdslide had fallen norosa
the track, noar the shanty of that old Irishwoman.
She had built up a large tire and watoned for the
train, for tho ourvea were so sharp that wo might
have been upon the slide before wo could see it.
So, when we run np, there was tho old lady,
with her ealioo cap, swinging the chunk of fire
like a revolving light-house, and there were the
litlle Irish carrying brush, like so many little
Douvers. She bud watched ull that night iu the cold.
But for her, in another minute we should have ruu
into a pile of dirt and stone us bigas Barnum’s
Uoiel. I L-houlJ have got a ‘pit ticket,’ certain, for
1 was ou tho platform. W hat would have become
of tho passengers and train you eau guess as well
as 1 can.”
Wo expressed a kono thui the old widow had
been properly rewurded.
“ The passcugi re inuue up about eighty dollars ;
the oouipauy alter wards gave her u shanty, rout

An Arab Heroins for tbe War.
Two mornings since, say Ba letter dated Constan
tinople, Muruli 28d, a report was brought that u
beautiful girl of 17, badooudueted 80,OUO warriors
from tho heurt of Asia, aud hud laid their services
at the foot of tho Sultan. It wus natural at first to
believe that this rumor was only as true as many
others with which wo aro amused or annoyed in
this metropolis of idleness. However, au unu
sual tumult iu the streets prooluimod something
ot importance, and it soon appeared that there
was a sentiment of truth, alter wiping away tire
troth of Oriental oxagguration. Tho eastern und
southern parts of Asia Minor are tho patrimony
ot wandering tribus, who to a fierce Miiasulman
spirit unite u strong feeling ol independence,
aud who are always ready to contest tho autho
rity of tho bultan, except when it is in real
danger.
A lino drawn from Sinr pe to Smyrna will mark
tho boundary of the regions whioh, totally sub
jected to tho authority of the Paßbas, furnish thoir
contingent of Bißhi-Buzouks, acoording to a reg
ular military law of great antiquity. To the south
east of thislino the peninsula contributes no cer
tain supply of men; and it is only ou occasions
like the prosont that the nurno of the Prophet or
liie love of plunder inducoß them to quit their
plains and mountains, aud veuturo into oontuet
with oivilized man. One of those tribes, said to bo
capable of furnishiug 4,000 horsemen, is uudor the
guidance of a woman, whose name, or rank, is
expressed by the word “Fatima.” Thcif home its

they are of kin to tho ancient pirates, they certain

of refined intelligence in comparison with those
nomads of tho Koramanian wilds, whose condi
tion and numbers aro unknown even to tbe Pashue
of the proviuce. Their arms are various, aud soetn
to indicute a mode of wurlare in whioh each man
keeps the spoils ho has won. Homo carry the pis

poverty of his armament by a display of ferocity.
The long matchlock of tho Affighau is not wanting,
and individuals of the tribe are said to retain the
bow and arrows of their remote forefathers. One
u<coant declares that conjugal affuotion has im

husband is expiating sundry mißdemoanors in a
Canadian prison, and Fatima, fearful that her en
treaties would have little effect on theßnltap with

Pistol and Knit*.— Wo i earn from a friend
just down from Tul edaga, that a sow dsy» since,
in Jacksonville, Bouton county, a deadly assault
waa made by Mr. Wood, ot Wotumpka, on Gon.
It. O. Earle, of tho former plaeo. Wood ahot
Earle first with a pistol, the ball penetrating the
back ot the neck and then ranging upward be
tween the skin and skull. Hie wounded man
foil forward to tho floor, with the ohuir on whioh
he had been bitting, partially covering nis back.
Wood then drew hia knife and out Earle while
the blade lasted, iuflioting many wounds about
tho head and finally breakiug off the blade in the
Bkull. Wo did not learn whether the wounds
were likely to prove mortal. Mr. Wood was rec
ognise 1 in s2'Jo to ana aer tho charge before the
oirauit court.
It m alleged that Mr. Wood had tho Btrongest
provocation possible to take the life of Gon. E.irle.
A young lady related nearly to him was curried
away from Jacksonville where, we believe, she
bad been residing in the family of Lieu Erie;
and the last heard of her was at Charleston. It
waa anpposed—indood not doubted—that there
were ttie strongest motives on the part of Earle
thus to remove tier irom where she was known.
Gen. Earle has been quite prominent in East
Alabama for some years: has boon a candidate
forCongrese in the old eleventh Diairiot; was a
prominent membor of the Baptist church; and had
considerable popularity from having done service
in tho war with Mexico. As is moat natural, the

from the heart to the head, are always lessened in

of Commerce, and repeated the eame with great

a line ot poetry from any standard work, tbe next
line of which ho could not recite, and also give the
name of the author. Some hundreds of quotaliona

Coffer Mines in East Penn Essex.—Tho Knox
ville Register of the lath, says:
hlla , 5*6“ "aid of the copper mine* of Polk
county, and from wnat wo hear us daily uocurriug
m that region, wo are constrained to believe that
theirva.ua lias not been as yot hul' developed.—
But recently, wo aro told, the miners have reached
the yellow hulpliurot of copper, which wo under
stand is un infallible indication ot too Inexhausti
ble extout ot tho mines, and also their iucompara
b!o richness. Toe lover which has hitherto pre
vailed ill that quarter of Bust Tennessee s.emanot
yet to have nltaiuod its highest pitch, as new dis
coveries are being mado, now mines oponod anil
largo transactions transpiring. But tot week, we
are informed, there woro rules of soiuo two or
three quarter sections of laud at shout $1,250,000.
About five thousand tons of ore aro now using
taken from the miuos monthly, and this of such
richness as to be worth nett ono hundred dollars
per too, thus making the products of tho mines
even now half a million of dollars per month.
Wliat it will bo when the shells that are being
stink all penetrate tho rich sulphurot no one
cau oonjecture, and wliat discoveries aro yet to
bo made in the intervening space between the
Polk county mines and those recently discovered
in Carroll oounty, Virginia, “no umii can know”
—that tho two developments are but tho outcrop
ping of the same continuous vein, whioh ex
tends along onr eastern border, wo think there
oan not be the shadow of a doubt, as the Virginia
aud Polk couuly veins have tho snrue direction N.
E., and S. W., have the sumo dip—the saiuo sur

u’hb Dobhodsoiu— The following account of
this doeolate district, which baa suddenly risen
into iutercsland importance, is taken limn the
forthcoming now edillou of Murtaj ’s Turkish
Guide, published in London. At Tehornavoda the
Danube appro chcs within 84 miles ol the Blr.ijp
Soa, but is separated from it by a peril aula or
tougao ol high land, extending north, nsi.rly ASb- v,
site to Galalz, Oalled Dobtuds'-ha, From Tamri
mivodn aroad runs lo Kostendji, on
Sea, partly parallel with a stream, or rather nobain
ot lakes, called ICarusou. At Bjurlack (fourbount)
thu stream ceases, and the valley is shut in by
hills crowned with downs, from which the sea is
visible. KosUirjs (ComdAutihS,) a email village
on a height abovo the shore, hue a little port,
which remains of a Roman mole, now destroyed.
From a point a little south of this, to Kusmjv*, on
the Danube, runs h rr.mpurt of lioarth called Tra
jan's wab. It i.> certain that no branch of the Da
nube over flowed into the sea ucross this tongue of
laud, which preedits ou tho side of the sea an
uninterrupted range (flow lulls and chflk. Tho
district of the Dohrudscliu is at most seasons a
wildoruesa, partly owing to its having been de
prived ot its Tartar inhabitants, alt. r lß'-d, by
tho Russians, but chiefly owing tu its subsoil,
which, excepting to tho north extremity, whero
, riso the hills of Malschiil, (gr lint?) con-uda of
porous limestone, which retains no vvuier, und
lurnialies no Hpiii.gs on the surface, i’opmution
is scanty, and villages wide scattered, and drink
ing water is obtained only through a lew deep
wells. Corn is ncaieoly cultivated stall, buy and

of tho wall of Trejuu, uourly ns fur as Bieeirjik and
Varna. It is not taunhlo by troops, unless they
curry food, forage, und water with them. A canal
wasut ono time prijected between the Dunubo ut
Tchnruavodu und llie Black Hois at Kontonjo, but a
rurvoy mado by u Prussian engineer proved that
tho head of the valley of Kuraaon Was 184 toot

dered by Charleston, Buid the Muyor, was above

To the address of tho Mayor, w'.iloh waa fre
quently interrupted by the plauuib. of the Itirge

Fillmore evidently and deeply affected, replied in
a moat liappy manner. Hu had grs itlcd u long

The hospitalities aud generous wi lcomo, he hod
ovoiy where received, were none the h as grateful (o

Mr. Filimore’e address, wlueu was wholly froe
from attempts at display or ostentation, and in the

with muiked favor. He has made, ao far, indeed,
a moat tavor.ible impression on all by his demeanor
