A name which Mr. Irving they have Jseli ‘ We are not I spliced ui Hr eilUr for a poetical or a Columbia; which Mr. irefiralPßß'iself so greatly contributed to ailljmte with the loftiest heroism, has itiore (BSlic ebarm for us than the tiile of the “primordial” aminomadic tribe of the Historical Society. But we do not retd|j| suppose our antiquarian friends to he serj£jM| in their proposition. They are, we dou|lg not, fine old learned gentlemen, like our friends Monkbarns ; and, when not in their dreamy speculations about “primordial races;’ would be the last men in the world to sur render the name given to the country by the founders of ouf empire, in the times that tried men’s souls ; a name which has been sanctified by their blood) and associated with every patriotic feeling; From the Philadelphia Ledger. Our anonymous country.—The learned Historical Society of New York, desirous of earning a name for themselves, have adopted an expedient well fitted to promote their ob ject; This expedient is the declaration, that our country is anonymous, and a proposition to borrow a name from the tains, and rail it Alleghania. p sMkjp render the learned Pggoals of wit and honor, unH Hnose of science and cesjfcno snakes ; that’s all;’’* “the fep-1 the tars, we may now say learned society, “their name’s up; ikk may lie abed till noon, as the saying \4fSmf such will certainly render them “ Hatred to ridicule their whale life long, Atfl|a gad burden of some ir.erry song.” i‘‘The udired States of Alleghania 1 1” Ha I Ok! ! They tell us that they cannot expect new views of the subject, as “since of our national existence, [Was engaged the attention of some of oflr most eminent and patriotic citizens.” The learned society are very unjust to themselves in thus disclaiming any new views of the ject ; for though Washington Irving first suggested the title of Alleghania, * yet (hey first suggested that this term was derived from a race who inhabited the continent bo foru the Indians, and whom they designate as “that primordial race, more ancient than our nomadic tribes, beyond which no Indian tra dition can go ; that wide-spread people, w hose mysterious history, dimly shadowed by their vast mounds In the wilderness, calls up so many images of durability, of power, ot wide embracing sway; images to which our progress of empire lias given new vitality.” Tins discovery is honor enough for one socie ty, in one decade of centuries. Columbus did something in discovering the continent. But the learned society have exceded the great Genoese, in tracing names used by ex isliug races of men, to races who have left no traces of their language ! 4d the subject “has engaged the atten. tion, since the commencement of our nation al existence, of some of our most eminent and patriptic oilmens.” This is true ; for it did engage tfic attention of such rpen at the very commencement of our national exis tence. The continental Congress, in their very first act of nationality, bestowed particu lar'attention upon the subject. and adopted, as a national name. “The United States of America.” They were not ashamed of it, and therefore did not offer it to the world as a name for consideration, but boldly pro- the union of tiik states, and the sovereignty of thjS: states. claimed it as a proud name in the declaration of independence. John Hancock and his fellow “signets” were considerably “emi nent and patriotic and therefore we of the Ledger shall be satisfied with the patronymic which they adopted till a bettfer be proposed by a betler set of fellows. A Yankee dealer in wooden nutmegs, wooden clocks, tin dip pers, and Suffield indigo, all the way trout Connecticut; once attempted to persuade an honest butch farmer of Schoharie, Schate coke, Kanterekil), Kinderhook, Poughkeep sie, or someone of those euphoirous Dutch settlements, to change his name ; and as an argument, he said that he had applied to the “gineral court,” and got his own changed from Azariah to Augustus, and that of his wife front Rachel toßacliellina,“in less than no time, and without costing a darned rent.” Mynher Deiderich Ten Eyck Ten Broek Van Schoevenliovenhuysen indignantly re plied that he was named after his father, grandfather, and great grandfather, and would not change Ins name if it tiasclit Oil Roy. We commend Mynheer’s filial piety, and therefore slick to the continental Congress, in spile ol the Historical Society ol N. York. But let us consider the reasons of the learned society for anew baptism of our country. We have heretofore considered two ; one being that our revolutionary name is not Single ; the other, that it is no longer distinctive, because it has been borrowed by others. In addition, the learned society say, “we want a sign ol our identity ; utterance of our nationality ; a watch word entire na tional than that of the States, more powerful than that of party. We desire to see writ teti in the pages of the world’s history, one name in which no other people shall have part or lot, that shall signify to the Old World the great republic beyond the ocean.” Wo really supposed that the continental Congress had supplied all these deficiencies. The** had a sign of identity; they gave ut terance to Lheif nationality in the term of American. With them this term was “more national than that of States, more powerful titan that of party.” And thanks be given to them for it, and to General Washington and his companions, our name has been written oh the pages of the world’s history, and its brightest pages too, in which no other people have part or lot, and which does signi fy to the Old World the great republic beyond the ocean. And that name is “The United States of America.” But the Mexicans have adopted it ! The Peruvians and Paraguay ans have borrowed it! And have their adop tions and borrowings obscured the title ol the rightful owners 1 Does any European or other foreigner, who had read the history of tlie New World, confound the people of thfc United Statdsof America with Mexicans or Peruvians 7 No. The term American im ports, among nil who have read sucli history, or who know that our nation exists, some thing exclusively appertaining to “ the Uni ted Stales of America to the country of Washington. Whoever calls himself an American in Europe, does not suggest a doubt whether lie is a Canadian, a Mexican, a Colombian, a Peruvian, or a citizen of tiie United Stales of America. That he belongs to the latter is always understood by the term American ; and if, after calling hunseit an American, he would designate any other nationality than ours, he nui6t specify himself as a Canadian, Mexican, Brazilian, or what eVer else he be. To exhibit our supposed difficulty, the learned society quote the term European, and sav that nobody can tell whe ther it means an Englishman, a Frenchman, a German, or a member of any oilier Euro pean nation. We admit this. But if the a extended their empire over al a.aa of Europe, had given tcJtaatr name of Europe. Europeans, and had still Wj eaibiNitne; they would now have advantage over theiemcighbors ; for, with out additions, Eupqpe would mean Italy, and Europoans won Idmtea.n Italians, and English and French and in calling tliem blelves Europeans, would be compelled to spe- Frjfy, and say English Europeans, French Europeans, German Europeans. This case, lupJA the Italians for illustration, is the Americanuß and Mnßoans, PmShSk Canadians, BrSl zilians; and thcmseivly Americans, are specify, and add Spanish, British, Portuguese, Mexican, or other designating adjectives. America arid American alone, signify the great republic, fhd great confederacy, the BMHkAnterican hiWß'i, the United States of If this be a source of mortification, wMKve no ob jection to being thus mortified. Some Joe Miller col lection contains a good atoty in point, obce called on Marshal general of Louis XVI, “is Vi liars at •home 7” “Villars the porter, “yon might at least give my master his title;” “Polt 1” replied the Gascon, “whoever heard of Marshal Ctesar or Marshal Pompey?” The Gascon was right. £>uch names need no Adjectives j and in mentioning Cattsar and Pompey in connection with history, we afe nut obliged to specify, to distinguish one from a Newfoundland dog, and the other ftom a bull terrier. By the same rule America and Americans are sufficiently descriptive of our land and its people, wituout the use of adjectives.

It is well for Mr. Tallinadge, our former Senator, and recently removed by President Polk irora the Governorship of Wisconsin,, that he is in a distant region of the where no very loud echo is likely to ream! him of the general voice of the press in re gard to his removal.

We met an old friend tiie other day whom we had Dot seen for several months. ‘John,’ said we, in the course of a conversation with him, why don’t you get married and settle down somewhere?’ ‘Get married and settle down, you said; John repealed with emphasis.’’ ‘Yes. ‘I came very near settling down without getting married, a while ago.’ ‘How’s that?’ ‘No matter —I don’t like to tell secrets to an editor.’ ‘But in confidence, you know, John. Come out with it.’ ‘Wont you tell!’ ‘No.’ •Now I know you will; but pledge me that my name shall not go with it; and you shall have the story, and may tell it as mucli as you plea e. We pledge our *sacred honor,’ and John threw away his cigar and commenced. ‘Here some two or three months ago, I happened into one of the prettiest little vil lages you ever set your eyes upon—’ ‘What was its name?’ ‘That's my concern, and I’ll manage it without your assistance. It was indeed a beautiful village, with pretty streels, pretty houses, pretty gardens, pretty fences, pretty everything—and among other things, pret ty women. The latter, you know, 1 naturally took a liking to ; and of course I was not displeased when a kind of fifteenth cousin, whom i called ou during a stay there—on business, strictly invilei! me to make his house my hoine for a fortnight or so, while I went over the sporting grounds in the neighborhood, and killed all tiie beasts, birds and witches that ran wild there. Hang me, if I didn’t thank the fellow with a fuli heart; and I moved my little bundle of clothes and other rubbish to his house in double quick lime. Well, I had been there three or four days, and had been gunning every day, without so much as killing a woodpecker ur trte toad, when one da,y in croossing a piece of open ground surroun ded entirely with woods, 1 discovered, not a tittle to tny surprise, the prettiest girl I had ever seen in my whole file. Front her ap pearance, I judged at once she had lost her way, &. prepared myself immediately to per form a piece of true gallantry. So walk ing straight up to her, I communicated my suspicious, very politely, aud inquired if 1 could render her any assistance. She replied that she had lost her way in attempting to get through the wood by an obscure path, and would be very much ob liged il l led her into the main road, or point out the direction iu which it lay. Away we started together, On the way we chat ted about every thing we could think of, (except her pretty self, which J was think ing of continually,) for she was sociable as an old school mate, and even told me her name, the name of Iter father, and the names of halt a dozen brothers aud sisters whom 1 had never seen, and did not care to see.— When we got into the road, she pointed out htr fathers house, whiclt was in sight, and was going to thank me for tny services; but I stopped her by saying that it would -he very little out of'liiy way to see her home; and I preferred to do st). All tiie way there, wc chatted and laughed, and told stories, and even jokes; and by the time we parted at tiie gate of old ’s farm house, I could we were old acquaintances. 1 lefMHPoping to see her again, sometime,’ left me ‘hoping to learn of my safe arrival at home.’ The next Sabbath I met her at church— the next Monday evening at a village par ty, and escorted her home—the next Frt day 1 called on her ‘accidentally’—tiie next Sunday evenimr by permission ; in two weeks 1 T had told my love’—fojWMas next move to ‘he out of nat ural philosophy.

She turned out to be the one. My horse was sent back to the stable, and the next morning I was leaving the beau tiful village altd the beautiful Ellen, and tny fifteenth cousin and his happy family, as last as steam would carry me.’ From the London Punch. John Polk was put to the bar charged with robbing the Mexican minister of a favorite dog: named Texas, the circumstances of the case Don Bernardo Murphy stated to be these : —Some months since, John Polk sold his Excellency the dog, (a very large animal spotted black and white, that used to run un der his carriage;) subsequently a fellow nam ed Houston, a countryman of Polk’s who had teen in his Excellency’s service, absconded w. h the dog, and he had that day seen it < t Greenwich Fair, whither he had gone in company with Chevalier Bunsen. The ani mal was tied to a van, belonging to the pris oner, and from which he was haranguing and psalm-singing to the company at ihe fair. Policeman, X2l said—please your wor ship, there has been more picking of pockets round that ’ere psalm singing man, than in any part of the lair. Mr. Aberdeen—Silence Policeman. What has that to do with the complaint 7 The Mexican Minister continued, in a ve ry agitated manner, “1 instantly recognized my dog, and trave the scoundrel yonder in charge of a policeman.” “Scoundrelthe prisoner cried, (a very sanctimonious looking fellow, who held the dog in his arms) —“Am I in a Christian land, to hear myself called by such names!

The dog is tny dog—mine by the laws of heaven, airth, right nature and possession. Don Bernardo Murphy, very much agitat ed, here cried out—How yours i 1 can swear to the animal. I bought him of you. Polk—You did. It’s jfcßus as I’tn a free born man. Don Bernardo —-A was an old servant of yours comes into tuy service and steals the dog.

O’Regan left the Court grumbling, and said it was’nt so iu Temple’s time, A Beautiful Idea—At a late public meeting in New York, says the Telegraph, the Rev. J. Spaulding dwelt a few moments on the deathless nature and extent of moral influence. “Away among the Allegha nies,” said he, “there is a spring so small that a single ox iu a summer’s day could drain it dry. It steals its unobtrusive way a monglhe hills, till it spreads out in the b ‘au tiful Ohio. Thence it stretches away a thousand miles, leaving on its bank moie than a hundred villages and cities, and ma ny thousand cultivated farms, and bearing ou its bosom more than a half a thousand steamboats. ‘Then joiniugthe Mississippi, it stretches awty and away some twelve hundred miles more, until it falls into the great emblem ot eternity. It is'one of the tributaries of that ocean which, obedient only to God, shall roll and roar, till the an gel with one font on the sea and the other on the land shall I ft up his hand to heaven, and swear that time shall be no longer. So with moral influence. It is a rill—a rivulet --a river—an ocean, boundless and fathom less as eternity,’! [VOL. V.—NO 19. From tho Lon, Ol ‘ Buncli. MRS.

O! you must go, iudeed you must; B; Biy will be so disappointed if her dear papa t ontwear one of tiie new shirts to the Skylark dinner. She has been talking about it for—to be ®ure to be sure I was opposed to your joining , ’be ! Skylarks, my dear, but then you have joinev * | you know, and you must appear respectable. Cross about it was I? Well, may be i wasa little, but then my dear I had been so much troubled about li.e bouse, dear that I could not help it. Do tuck yourself up, nty dear; I am sure you must be cold. You men dont know what we poor women have to endure, Mr. Caudle. I’m sure n the men had as much trouble as the women do, you would not be such good tempered people, either.— But you don’t know anything about it. I’m sure it would spoil the temper of a saint. It is all drudge, drudge, work, work, the whole day lung, and it would worry the life out ol any body. I have been thinking my dear, that you had better get anew coat for the dinner, your old blue looks shabby. O no—you are mistaken ; it don’t look well enough. Mr. Grey has ordsred anew smt; for Mrs. Grey told me so, ancWbx had better step over to Mr. Brown’s and order anew coat in the morning—a b'ack one—l admire a black coat. And Mrs. Grey is to have an elegant new silk lor the ball—a figured one, very beautiful. Mi. Grey lets her have new dresses, just whenever she asks it. I know it—to Grey is richer than you, but one decent, any how. My old dressTWo shabby that I real ly should be ashamed to be seen in it. Dont you think looks well enough, does it! Mrs. Gray says it is shocking, and I ought to to have anew one for tiie ball and 1 yOu can afford it now 7 It won't cost much I’m sure—and it is’nt so often that 1 ask for new dresses, Mr. Caudle; you know that. But you men think thank you tny dear, I’tn very glad you say jes, because I only say so to avoid a row, do you 7 Who’s making a row Mr. Caudle 7 .Fm sure I only asked for well, let me speak, won’t you! I declare if I ever saw such a man. I can’i even—: —well go to sleep then. I’m tired too, very tired; and I must get up early to morrow and get things to rights before Mrs. Grey comes to go out with me. She's prom ised to help me choose the everlasting gabbledgjffeu say 7 I’m sure Mr. Caudle, there who talks less than I do, and I is cruel iu you to all of us ain’t the most provoking man well I’m not going to scold.

From Ihe Key Wet Gazelle, April 12 THE SALT FOND, AND SALT MAKING AT KEY WEST. It [pay not be generally known at a dis tance, that Salt of the purest and heaviest pftipd is made at Key West iu considerable ppinntities. The enterprise was commenced j about ten years since by a Chartered Com pany, conibiEing tiie New Bedford iiama plans: (i. e.) combining covlfl with an open pond. The “Salt Pond,” so surface in ihe interior of the part of the Island, based on which is covered with tenacious pdflfck impervious to water. It is about on a level with the lowest tide, and so fiat|iiiai eight inches of water will flow the whokji three hundred and forty acres, which conatimres the area of the pond. Formerly, spring tides flowed over into this pond in two different places and fill ed it. The water thus thrown in having no outlet, evaporated, and in dry seasons formed Salt without any artificial aid. An arm of’ the bay with a very narrow entrance makes into the Northerly part of the Island and ap-1 proaches the Sail pond in two places, within seventeen rods; The narrowest part of this ‘ bay has been stopped with a stone dami with a tide gate swinging inwards, which receives and retains high water, flowing a pond of about ISO acres. A canal lias been cut through the rock from this bay into IkR pond proper, to that part brought provements, and thus the tide pond acßHr feeder reservoir to the Balt pond and Salt works. The company have and dams prevented the influx of 3j4jjjK|ta}£B in- j to the and thus holiMjßraStt con trol over ißKing able to stliitHßfcliarge water at their pleasure. with and adjoining this pond the Company erected 5300 salt work feet Os wooden works, with moveable covers, built after the New Bedford plan, which ia found on experiment with so great a surface of pond, to be badly propor tioned into water and granulating pans. Tbe present lessee is works in which a better proper Jfejfep reaerve d- The Company expgMWM Balt works buildings, tools and imp-offlfcjpts of numer ous kinds, exclusive of lands $18,500 which is represented by sharessloO each. Laslßeaßon the lessee raked from thecov works mote thatrtS.OOO bushels of Salt, be ing about three and a half bushels of from every Salt work foot of ten superficial feet. He also raked from the ground pans about 14,000 bushels, making ma 1132,000 battels. I Last Spring was very favorable to tbfcutek ing of Salt, but the gale in October destroyed ! or prevented the making of 10,000 bushels. I So that it may Dot be more than an average! ot years. The lessee will make about haln of his new covered pans of mason work, Which, is an experiment, so far as we know, entirely ‘ new. If successful, it will certainly be per-’ nianent, The Salt made at these works weighs 86’ lbs. to the measured bushel, and the bitle’ water, is washed from it, adding to its (“inly beauty, and perservative quality; “ - 'n 9 erage price last year, was about sle. per bus'o el, delivereanand on .f ho wurk n . : gross, will, it Is a sJßhPbu impetus to Salt w ;]j business of this lsla;, a . to divert capital from itq accusthmed tihajtdelt, and direct it to ;,aw enterprises, nor shall we matte the attempt. Yet we believe that no enter prise offers a richer reward to the capitalists, than the Salt Works on this Island-#speci ci -lly since all tbe fixed or unproductive cap jt#i letiuired has been expendedby this com pany,and all the preparatory experiments made, and experience gained, necessary to a successful result. The present lessee holds the works for some years, and we wish him all the fine seasons and success, his enter prise so justly merits. We believe it is the general wish however, to see the Salt works more rapidly extended than his own unaided means will admit. “SUNNY SOUTH.” In no place under the government of tha United States can this term be so properly applied as to our beautiful little : <dand.- Here the three hundred and sixty-five days compose but one long sunny day: the skies are ever clear, the birds are ever singing, ami every day, nay every hour, ushers fnto exis tence some rare and beautiful creation of flora. With the acacia and the rose; the oleander and the orange, breathing their Irag rance around us, we can scarcely realize tho old winter's blasts howling around the dwell ings of our northern friends, and that all ere. at ion, animate and inanimate, displays sor rowful evidences of his presence. A north ern friend whispers us that we know but lit tle of the delights of the long winter evenings, the cheerful fire “at home,” and the sleigh rides abroad- Indeed we do not, and well contented are we with our ignorance. A cheerful family circle on a cold winter’s night its blazing back log, its pleasant reminis cences for the mind, and its thousand com forts for the body, would lose half of its charms if the storm did no: rage without, and the wind did not whistle and moan through the trees and key-hole. It is only by contrasting th e peace and security within doors with the wai and strile of the elements without that one’s complacency is excited and satisfied.— But giv. e us ‘be sun-shine.tbe cloudless skies and the L a ' m y air of our clime ; give us the perpetual voice of birds and the odor of (Sow ers—give us ‘b e broad and changeful bosom of tbe ocean, \ v *ih its forests of coral for the eye and its unto.'d depths and mysteries for the imagination—A.nd above all, give us the warm hearts, the generous impulses, the ar dor of man and the dey‘"on of woman which the sunny suuli? alone A'n give.

The Inst obsequies to this and stinguislied man took place yesterday, annd a concourse of people of a!) ranks, such as was never before witnessed in New Orleans. The Military, consisting of the Louisiana Legion, Louisiana Volunteers, and Wash ington Battalion, with the fine body of Artil lery under the command of Major Gaily, as sembled in front of the State House in Ca-; nal street, at the hour appointed, 4 r. m. The members of the Convention met pur suant to previous arrangement in the morn ing, in their hall at about 5 p. m—the Clergy in an unusually large body, headed by the Ahbe Monet, having readied the Sta'e House a quarter of an hour before. The vestibule of the hall of the Conven tion had been fitted up as a chapelle ardenle, in which was placed on a bier, the remains of the departed, with the insignia of his tnili* tary rank, (Brigadier General,) consisting of coat, hat, sword, and sash lying on the coffin. At a quarter to five, the Clergy assembled in the chapelle ardenle i where the preliminary passages of the funeral service were chaunt ed ; after which the coffin was transported (o the hearse in front of the State House. A salvo of cannon gave intimation that the pro cession had formed, when the melancholy passage of the revered dead toward his last resting place, the tomb, commenced. A countless multitude thronged the streets, the loolgaihe were almost impassable, while balconies, windows, door-steps were crowded with the curious of the fair sex, anxious to catch a glance of the magnificent spectacle. The corpse was preseeded by the Clergy, and followed immediately behind by the de ceased’s charger, led by a groom, and sur rounded by servants, mourners, &c M con nected with his family; next came the mem bers of the Convention, two and two, wear ing on Iheir left arms, and the processuHtitich was of immense length, seemingly eaHsting the city, for the mo ment ol its inhabitants, continued its almost interminable length, in the following order!

Citizens; ‘The funtra) cortege proceeded down Ca nal street to Chartres to Tou louse, down street, to 1 the Roman CatholicwUPpel, at the loot of Conti street. Here the corpse was removed from the hearse to tho Chapel, and amidst the effulgence of innumerable tapers and the 1 prodigal diffusion of incense, the last beau tiful and imposing ceremonies of the Roman Catholic funeral ritual were performed.— ! The Chappel was densely crowded by the members of the Convention and the friends and admirers of the deceased. At the ter dmination of the service the corpse was again “transferred to the hearse,and the whole pro j cession moved off in the greatest solemnity to the Cemetry, at the foot of St. Louit street. \ The body having been consigned to the tomb, and the Clergy having chaunted tbe last re quiem to the departed, Mr. Soule delivered a short, but very impressive funeral oration. Under the influence of an emotion which seemed to shake every fibre of bis frame, he animadverted on the terrible loss which society has sustained in tbe death of this true patriot, this virtuous citizen. A salvo of artillery and a salute of small arma were then fired, and then tbe sad ceremony con cluded. The last marks of respect and love have been paid the dead. And what remaina!— Though a valuable member of society, occu pies a premature grave—though a widow has been left to pour out her teats in bitter solitude—-though the ties of friendship and connection have been rudely sundered— what then 7 —Man's honor is satisfied 7 i ScRE IN A SCHOOL ROOM.—“What Vt„J lO do you intend to pursue 1” said ar : pedagogue one day as a Johny - ‘ mr ,f 5 fall the time: are ‘^°“ he^^ BI V‘ lI V^WS iSk ff 1 ’ ,hat ?” it’s the L e ‘ ru ' e of ! jrou kftoty t(iat twice two , lour and according to adaption, lyticc for#. |ut two !” “You may take yogr aeatsir t ”said yio schoolmaster. ‘‘You mas; take youm ‘too” said the pupil, “for it’s a utar'&ule that ■jwap’t work both ways,” jH* sa ' d ‘hat Mr. Cushing otrPßSg avked ■He with on the table something of will—l to exorbitantly thinking it to be Chi nee, and wishing it was, he pointed lo it, after he bid finished, saying, tq hia host interrogatively, “Quack, quack, quack!” The mandarin, with equal brevity replied, with akkake of bis head.Wßow, wow wow.” Mr Cushing’s feaiinga cau be m.- agtQtd.
