There she remained ail night, and received passengers—gome r <l the L vicgetou ?.li ly The next rix ruing hhe proceeded on Ler j ur tey, and arrived at Albany late in the afternoon.— Ail the way up the river the steamboat attracted great attention People tbrorgid the banks or pulled cut into the stream to have a closer view of this new monster. The “CMenuont” made about s. knots an hour. On the first Trip the crew i-in sisted of only half a dozen men, while those whom Capt. McKinney took to be passengers might num ber S.t or B<l persons. At A.bany he says that Fulton went ashore, tel ling them to let no one come on board, and the boat was pushed a plank’s length from the shore, hut the engineer dieoneyed so soon as Fulton wad out of Might, mid admi/ed the people at a York shil ling a herid. They came on boa and ho fast, that in five minuttti they took twelve dollars. So many cmne at laat that they were compelled to turn the tide ;n ihe opposite airectii*n, and ordered them “ a 1 ashore.

Alas’ we had only been dreaming. Value of YVit. —We take the following excel lent passage IV in a review of “The Autocrat,” in “ The Century,” the weekly paper recently estab lished iu Now York ; A wit is a priceless man for a community . not a scandal monger, a heel-biter, a detractor, a cynic, whose own happiness in iife being spoilt is bent up on uiaktng otners miserable, but a geuial, benevo lent reformer, a wholesome and winning though caustic surveyor of events. People breath more freely when they know there is such a man iu the ascendant, for wicked men will be afraid of him, weak men will strive to be stronger, and qua* ks will not have i’ all their own way.—Society is con tinually in need of the exploits cf that knight errant, the wit. Evils creep in unawares some good, but very foolish man perpetrates a good deal 1 1 nonjeiise which is tolerated and even ad mired* by virtue**! his goodness, and fixed as an institution before it ; in 1 convenience is mlly suspected. Honest sentiments with errors sticking to them are gradually heaped up into a monstrous aggregate of prejudice. Some bloat*d and overfed tiutfi weighs society down like a huge nightmare, till the w.t comes along to tickle the sensoriuui amt wake us up once more into day light with a sensation of free honest living, or the old moral it iee of the world get dull and common place, worn, trite, and battered, the effigies nearly off irom them. The uitis a general refarbisher, rt casting the oldcoiu and presenting it to us again current with she image of to-day. Caught in His own That —The Ooonom *woe Free Frees related a reoiarkNble occurren. e which took place in Erin, Washington county, Wiecc.neui, oo the ni|{ht ot the Ist of February, and the partic ulara of which are derived from a reiiabie eource Toe town treasurer !iad collected most of the txrs, and had the money in the house. In the af.uaoou he told his wife he wa- to a distant part of the county, ai;d would uot be back till the next day. That evening a pedlar well known in the neighborhood, and who had been in the Lab it, when in that place, of stopping at the treasurer’s bouse, came along, and as usual, put up hw team and retired to bed. In tbe night three men, dis guised, entered the house, and two of them gfi/.ed tbe woman end threatened to shoot her if she made any noise. Tne pedlar was aroused, came out with a revojver. fired, and killed one of the robbers on the stairs, when’he other two instantly tKd. A was procured, and. upon examination, the dead robber was found to be the town treasurer himself. There is quite an excitement m the nei*h borhood, and strong efforts are beinj made to dis cover his two accomplices A Touching Incident at the Boston Fire Tbe Host in Ledger records the following incident, in connection with the destruction iu that city by fire, .*1 the Mechanical Bakery Puiitsg the tire, when men, women and children were deeing from tbe burning dwellings, a police raau discovered on the sidewalk two iiti.e ehiidtvu nearly raked They were tied together with a sim ple band ol white cioth.

Once or twice they narrows/ ei raped death from a paasiug engine or a falling building and when found their little voices were almost stifled and their forms stiff with cold. They were taken to the residence of a gentleman in Char ter street, where they were kindly oared for by the ladies. Yesterday morning, search was made for iheir parents They were found in one cf the rooms of a dwelling which narrowly escaped destruction from a fallen wall. When found, they were both so drunk that it was impoesi leto arouse them from the stupor It is supposed that the mother of the children tied them together, and put them to bed. and they being awakened by the no we and light of the fire, strolled into the street, as they were found near the place where their parents were sleeping. Taxing the XamisoK Passengers on the Erie Rail Kjap— Fi nny Scenes and Answers.— By a recent edict f the president of the New York and Erie Railroad, the conductors are required to &Sxerta;u the Lames of all the passeLgers and make a register of them ia a book provided tor that pur pose The absurdity of the requirement was aptly liiustra’ed tne other day on toe Elmira and Wat k:ns branch of ibe road. The conductor, coming up to a pavenger, demanded his name. “Jackson** was the reply. To the next he put the same inter rogatory. and was promptly answered, “Charles Moran.” The third gave Lis name as “Headley**; but the fourth, uot being quite so accommodating, or supposing Lheie was some uneoeesary’ use of his name, rep.ied. None of yourd business Ihe conductor put the answers a! down, and the .as! one was as rear correct as the three preceding, though there was a kind of bitterness in the tone in which it was uttered. Iu this way it goes—scarce ly a passenger g.ving his right name to the con ductor. The names thuscohected. however, are sent on to head quarters with regularity and des patch and President Moran, it is said, nas begun to tuink that he and die brother officers have a great many namesakes trave.ung over the road lately, as scarcely a list is presented him but he finds his Dame upon it, as well as those of all the other c-ffi cere of the company. —F mira Advertiser.

Every tree and shrub to its minutest twig, every weed and spire of grass, however threadlike its sprays; the needles of the pine, in tact, e\ ery object iu the air and on the earth, was covered v. i‘h frost crystalization ro delicate that the Hiighteet breath *. air would cause it. to l!y like down -, and yet all above and below was shrouded with if, even to the attenuated threads ot Ihe spi der’s weaving. Many of these project!mg feathers stood out Uiree or lour inches from the objects to which they were attfv fed, and I saw none less than an inch iu length. You can judge of the stillness of the atmosphere wheu y u know that this strange magical scene coatinw-d all day till in the evening, when, with a single puff’ of air, so slight as scarcely to be felt, it vanished at once away. This cry stall zatiun was made up of, first, a thread as line as the silk fibre; to this were attached similar fibres sanding neatly at right-angles with the first, crowd ed close to each other, and on these agaiu were on almo it to an indefinite extent, until the feather—for so it was—was made up. The t;>.o s*?- med mighty plumes, the branc lit-8 just showing through the downy covering with a siigbt degree of shadow,stanc ing so still in th-charm ed air that all seemed much like a dream or an en chantment, which woo.ld vanish as quickly. Even the vibration produced by a loud tone of voice was sufficient to disrobe cue of these feather-clad treec. As it r garde the position of these frost-feathers upon the upright objects and those whose inclination was sl'gbt, they Blood out hcrizonially ou the northeast side, iu other cases they Blood ou the upper side pointing vertically. I noticed two years since r. somewhat similar effect, an account of which 1 wrote tor ti: Evening Post, I think, but iu that case tbo crystals were single end pointed like nee dUfl, ut.d occupied the upper t nd northwest sides of objects. *()t Salur ’ay u r had another display of frost work, no S. ; oudi-Lut than tae first, but quite dif f< rent in *•:•••. ; -./ - : i’ *; < ating of ice loading the trees ; this, on melting, produced iciclta of vnrious lengths, crowded very dcaely together, every e-bj- c r . being covered A’ in the tiist case.

In .‘people who aio loud ; of* lyrical allusions call her Royal Highness “Ipbi- | * genia.'’ and eay her lather has no right whatever to * play the part of Agamemnon as he is doing, and to J sacrifice ihri poor child cl liiteen to the “Goos! ‘ — j Sue. herself, has distinctly said she married the | Prince to ensure to her father the support of | Fiance, and if it were not for that consideration she j would not have consented to the ma-viage. Two nights before starting for Piedmont, the lu- | tui e bridegroom bad the uubeliev.ible bad tarde to | show himself at the Grand Opera in a conspicuous l box with iwo of the most notorious fair ones of tho I less than Demimonde of Palis! It is said iu some | newspapers, unusually well informed, that the j Prince will give his antique habitali.n ol the i Champs Elyseee—bis lv man Hotel—to.hie young j wife. If so, tho will succeed two women, w hose \ names, poorc ild! can never have reached her L ears, even tu the wo.sl tongue of Bad Fame, and ; whose lives must be forever a mystery to her, but j who, alas! were the coirq anions of her father when he paid Ins visit to Paris some four year ago. Your lady readers may perhaps take au iuterest in knowing that the vorbeiUe of the mture Priuceea Napoleon, is reported to be of the most extraordi- • nary maguificence. A diamond necklace given by j the Empress is said to be worth upwards of ten thousand pounds, and the furs, that are the present of the Wine; ss Mathilde, are worth scarcely less. It is reported that several of the dresses I sprke of to you latterly tas being of such a curiously uew shape) are being devised for the Princess, and some of them are described as to be of the worth of X, 100and £ot)0(lu,000 and 12,000 francs!) and this i? merely from their materia 1 , which is ui velvet, with gold or silver embroidery. On your eiueof the Atlantic you would be much amazed if you could assist at some of the Old YY'orld discussions that are carried on here touching the airival of the new princess. It is impossible to say hovr Lightened at the poor little creature most of :iadits ut ilus court are (including the Empress) —f. i if ever members of a royal slock were brought uT’ with stifi* pitiless etiquette, tis these Cariguau?. Ti e torcea Democratic opinions of her father have Ln i no iLiiuei.ee ia this respect, and those who have b.*id opportunities of approaehieg the late Princess <':v>*.i!de, say *he resembles a l the princesses of her hi use in so far as this is concerned. She is said to De as lovely as w as her mother tan Aust ian Archduchess,) but it is described as “ very haughty.’* and as singu arly well versed in heraldic science, for which she has an extraordinary taste. It is quite certain that her arrival is the cause of no end of anxiety and alarm oa the part of the Court outrage, and uever was a bride less longed for than is the Princess Clotilde iu the imperial circles. — Paris Cor. Boston Cour. A Men’s Brains Knocked Out, and Yet he Still Lives!— The Eau Clara (Wisconsin Te e graph narrates the following singular case of sur gery.

Dr. Crocker. DonnviUe, the surgeon in attendance, thus describes the case “I found the patient lying insensible, with a large hole broken into the left side of the ‘kuil, just over the ear—both the left frontal auu parietal banes shattered, and two pieces, one an inch and a half by two inches square, driven completely into the brain and portions of the brain protruding. • Alter removing the tragments of the bone. I then removed three fourths of a wine glass of brain, in conjunction with three piece* of the uee. which uad &iio been driven into his head. From the first there was a copious discharge of thin watery fluid from the ear. of course through the Eustachian tube. I considered the case hopeless, for several days al ter the first dressing the brain continued to ooze out. and pieces as large as a wainut sloughed off before the wound began to cicatrize. The case pres ents also a remarkable mental phenomenon which will interest phrenologists. Toe patient before the accident was never known to sing or whistle a tune in his file—but no sooner was he able to speak than he began to sing with perfect correctness, and now displays a taste ror musv amounting to a passion.” The Alexandria Sentinel tells tbe familiar story about Col.

We ler.ru that the Government received offi ia! information on Saturday of toe final ratificat on by Nicaragua of the Cats-Irisarri Treaty, negotiated in this city last year. Ws append a newspaper summary of its provisions : By this treaty the Republic of Nicaragua con cedes to the United States, and to their citizens and property, the “right of transit between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the territories of that Republic, on any route of communication, natural or artificial, whether by land or by water, which may now or hereafter exist or be constructed under the authori'y of Nicaragua, to be used ia the same manner and upon equal terms by both Republics and their respective cit zens . the Republic of Ni caragua, however, reserving the right of eov ereign ty over the same.” The United States agree to extend their protec tion to all such routes, and to guaranty tbe neutrali ty of the same. They also agree to employ their influence with other nations to induce them to guaranty such neutrality and protection. Nicaragua engages, also, to establish a free port a: each extremity of the transit tor merchandise and effects in transitu. Troops and munitions of war can be carried by tbe Cnited States across this transit. The Postmaster General is authorized to convey the maiis across this transit by contract or other wise. Nicaragua agrees that in case sue should fail to protect persons and property upon this transit, that the United States shall have power to do so so loDg as such military protection may be considered ne cessary. Any company establishing a transit commut l v tion througr, Nicaragua is only entitled to the pro tection ot the United State so long as it fu.fiii ir.e purposes and adheres to the spirit and intentions of the treaty. If any transit company whatever im poses exorbitant tolls or otherwise miscmduet it self, the protection of the United States can be withdrawn upon due notice being given to Nicara “"'-p, fc ijghts and privileges guarantied by this treaty cannot be infringed by the terms of any transit contract, any charter or grant infringing upon these rights and privileges being essentially null and void” and by tne fame article tfce protection of the Uni’ed States is withheld from any transit company until they shall make the terms aLd conditions of this treatv. in effect, a portion of their charter, as fuiiy as if it had been embraced in the original g Tu further “ provided that nothing herein con tained *i. e. in the treaty) shall be construed either to affirm or deny the validity of any of the said con- Any transit company wuich may be established is forbidden to pay or declare dividends exceeding fif :een per cent, per annum.

Under the pre vious i egulations lor.gcloths cf forty yards, utual width, have an ad valorem duty of about 22 1-5 -P cent. The highest figure in Ihe new tariff’ levied on fabrics ot all kinds only ranges (in specific duties) from 2 candarines (about three cents) to 2 mace (about 290.) per piece. The duties on drills and jeans, 30 inches wide aud 40 yards long, is under the uev; tariff, 1 mace per piece, (about 14 4-5 cents.) Under the old tariff, the ad valorem rates of all kinds of cotton fabrics ranged from 14 4 sto 225t0 29 3-5 ¥ cent ad valorem. These compari sons show u most important change in the duties under the new tariff’, which are li;tle more than nominal. When it is considered that our largest direct exports to China have hitherto consisted of heavy cotton piece goods, the importance of this nev* T imd reduced tariff to our manufacturers may be imagined - the more valuable by the additional number of porls opened to foreign trade, while commerce directly with the interior has been made more accessible. With such an opening it. is rea sonable to expect a large increase iu our trade with me 400 000,000 inhabitants of that empire. —Penn sy Iranian. Cotton Factories in Maryland. —The Balti more Price Current furnishes a table of the cotton factories iu Mary laud, showing the daily consump tion of raw cotton to be nearly fifty thousand pounds, * f the value of over six thousand dollaro— operating 07,500 spindies and 1,736 looms. The large amount of cotton duck, and other heavy goods made, exp'ains the paucity of looms. It adds: The capital invested in these various properties is about three millions of dollars, arid the value of their annual product, at present price of manufac tured goods, is about three and a half million of dollars. Niue of these properties arc corporations the balance oft hern belong to individuals. During the last five years the manufacturing in terests of the country have been much depressed, and Lin- condition of ihe Maryland factories are not excepted. In 1857, owing to tae high pries of cot ton, t*;d the unremunerating price of manufactured goods, many mills were obliged to work bhort time, arid otherwise curtail their expenditures, and some, from necessity, had to stop their machinery entire ly. Ail our mills are again, however, at work, though not to their full capacity, except the Savage, Oak.and, Powhatan and Pocahontas factories, whose machinery Is stili idle.

Letter from \V. (Gilmore sintirv*—Generation of Epidemics—Vemi.ntioiit A e. At the anniversary celebration of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, cu Wednesday last, the following letter trom W. G ill.more Simms was read, which we reproduce, together with the toast which accompanied it: Woodlands, S. C , Feb. 14, 1859. A O. Andreirs.Esq . President Chamler of Com - rne.-ee of Charleston —My Dear Sir;—l should find gieat pleasure in complying with your wishes, so g atefully expressed, to dine with the members of your Chamber - ’ ou the return ot their anniver sary tor this year but circumstances deny me this privilege, aud I eau only express the regret which I teel m being compelled to hold myself aloof froi:* a re union which promises so much good fellowship with the “ soli i men” of iny na! ve city. 1 should have been pleased to be present for other reasons thin these which affect my own simple gratification Were I with you, aud on such au occasion, I should certainly seize the opportunity to present to yoor view iny speculations ou a sub ject of permanent importance to the welfare of your city— a subject which haa engaged my thought n, intervals, for more then twenty year?, and in which 1 have learned to differ, iu vital respects from most persons—i mean the local climate, the causes of epidemics in the low latitudes, and the possible remedies and preventives. Tnis subject, and the establishment of direct communication with Europe, through your own shipping, constitute, to my mind, the most important subjects for the earnest conside ration of your “ Chamber.” It would be easier to deliver my views on the formei topic orally, than to elaborate them ou pa per—since my professional and domestic duties find me enough to do—and properly to report my con clusions -vu so vexed a subject—one oo intimate, and which has divided the public and professional mind for two hundred years, would task a whole year's labor of the pen, aud require a very copious octavo. But I may, even iu the brief compass of a letter, suggest certain clues of thought and study which may, give the necessary provocation to other minde; and, as a word “to the wise” is usually sufficient for them, it is possible that what I may say, even in these brief limits, may be of some service toothers ia the consideration of this topic. 1. First, then I deny that marsh, swamp, filth or decaying vegetation, are at all essen'ial to the gen eration of disease in your city. I deny that miasma is absolutely essential to malaria. We have the marsh, tilth, swamp, bard labor and poverty and squalid habitations always, every year, but cholera and yellow fever only occasionally’ Vegetation does uot begiu to decay, but is mo&i beautiful and fresh wffien our pestilence are most furious I admit that exaiations from swamp, morass ond filth may nay must increase the malignity of the epidemic, but assert that they cannot general- it by themselves, and independently of that condition oi the atmos phere, which is essential in its production, that ail these are perfectly harmless. 2. I contend that a certain condition of atmos phere, arising from a continued prevalence of cer lam winds, which are in their character feeble, ami uot adequate tu maintain the atmosphere equili’ rium, Ac., keep the atmosphere iu tiiat degiee of agitation which is necessary to its purity, is the first essential condition and this cooditiou implies a certain degree of fixation or stagnation in the atmosphere in which the air currants do Lot run at all, or if they do—pur suing only one course—into a cut de sac. 3. I hold that this fixation, or comparative stagna tion iu the atmosphere, must liret be produced before it can be impregnated with miasma. So long as the wiuds blow wiih rianey to and fro, with frequent changes from one point oi the compass to the other, the exhalations from the earth caunot be localized! but must be dispersed infinitely through a thousand miles of space. 4. I hold, however, that when the air is thus com paratively stagnent, it needs no impregnation from any foreign source to become malaria , it is then per se malaria, being, like the blood auu water— nay, more subtle than either as a fluid—capable of purification only by progress audits owu circula tion. 5. I ho’d that in the general notion of the impreg nation of lhe atmosphere by miasma, as the essen tiality of malaria , we have been diverted from our true necessity, which must contemplate ventilation as much mote important even than cleanliness.— Wh must drink the air, though we may find a sub stitute for bad water, and every introduction of the stagnaut atinesphere acts directly upon the lungs, and upon the circulation, and diseases all. And heru 1 might stop, satisfied wiili indicating my gene ral notion as to the source of the epidemic, but that 1 deem iL proper to add, that if these premises be true and well grounded, any c. imate may Le ren dered healthier, if not absolutely healthy, by me chanical agency. Let me add, that l have no doubt that in the course of tbe next fifty years cities will be kept thoroughly ventilated by steam, and that every sleeping room will be kept pure by a pleasant agitation of tho atmosphere, maintained in iree and equal circulation by the employment of a simple piece of furniture, with vane, and worked by clock machinery—ropee, weights and puileys. But lam at the bottom of my sheet. I a.n sorry that my apace and time do uot allow me to dwell longer upon a subject which, properly developed, would require a volume. Were I able to prepare this volume, my first care would be to meet and an ticipate every exceptional case—the ueual mode of argumentation adopted by all routine disputers, aud all who aro in permanent possession of an an cient Lobby. 1 persuade myself that lam prepar ed to do this, but the labor is immense, experiments costly, my time greatly absorbed, and rny means very limited. If what I have B&id shall suggest a single clue tu any active and independent mind, not fettered by a pet theory, I will be quite satisfied You will smile, perhaps, when l add to this, that probably in about one hundred years cities will not only be ventilated by steam, but lighted by bal loons. The time is hardly arrived yet for either.— The public mind has to unlearn a thousand old things before it can fairly grapple with a single uew truth. I add a brief toast, which, if you please, may bo offered during your festivities. I aiu, oar sir, with distinguished considers lion, Your obedient servant, W. Gilmore Simms. *• Independence of thinking, courage iu truth the li i'Bl grand necessities of all moral prog re 88.” The Last of Earth. —Tne Paris correspondent of the Boston Traveler, has the following .- “Never envy any man.

So envy no man ! A naval officer, writing from Hong Kong to tha Pbiladeli hia Ledger, relates the following incident, illustrative of the ingenuity of the Japanese in me chanical contrivances : “Before leaving Japan we saw a most intereeling display of a ‘winter evening amusement for children.’ Or eof our Dutch friends had presented us with a small box, containing what look -d like Several hundred pieces of brooin straw, from three-eighths to an inch in length. ‘Throw one of ;hose in that cup of hot water,’ he said. We did as desired, and it had no sooner touched the Burface than it expanded into a perfect representa tion of a Japanese woman in full dress. Another proved to be a very buffalc-like cow ; a third was a sword, and a fourth a handsome walking cane. ‘Throw in a dozen at a time,’ said our friend. Os course we complied, picking them up at random, and all proved t • be different. There were houses, dogs, short-tailed cats, horses, trees and flowers; and 1 suppose had we thrown in half of the box, we should have seen duplicates of almost everything known to the Japanese. As it was, however, we curbed our curiosity, divided the contents of the box between us, and stowed them away in our rooms for the purpose of astonishing the natives at home.” Japanese Youths Learning the English Language. —When the American treaty with Ja pan was negotiating, an application was made by two Japanese > oaths, of good position, at Nagana ki. for instruction in the English language, and in other branches of education. This demand was readily complied with; and the Chaolainof the American steam vessel underto k the task, tor two mouthe he daily gave lessons to these young Japacoe; and he informs us that their progress, during that short period, was quite surprising. They learned to read, to pronounce, and to under stand such short and simple sentences as are taught in children s ahooi books. They displayed a pecu liar talent for arithmetic; easily learning t.o know, and to calculate wi b, the Arabic numeral*— which latter feat costa children no iittie trouble, and, to be soon mastered, must require considerable mental power on part of persons before entirely unac quainted with it. la geography they took great in terest, and. by means of maps, obtained much knowiege, to them perfectly new. These Japanese were anxious to qualify them selves as interpreters ot English ; but this design was violently opposed by tbe Dutch settled on an artificial island, which they formed and occupied more than two centuries ago, in the Bay of Naga saki. Following the short sighted and exclusive policy which has made Dutch colonies and settle ment* one of the curses of the East, they wished the inquiring youth of Nagasaki to learn Dutch alone, and did ail in their power to put a stop to the study of English.
