Maj. Buford’s Expedition.
The dd day of April is the time appointed by
Maj. Buford for Kansas emigrants to join him
in this city, lie will proceed hence to Mont
gomery, where persons wishing to join him
should rendezvous by the 6th of April. The
Ylahama Journal mentions, on the authority
of Map If, various liberal oilers of transporta
tion, ,te., made by railroad companies and
other carriers along the route. Maj. John 11.
Howard, President of the Girard and Mobile
Kailroad Company, will bring Maj. Ibilord
and liis corps from Silver llun to this city l roe
of charge, expressing his regret thatlic cannot
take them all tho way, and giving ssotowards
defraying the expenses of the balance ul the
route. Col. Pollard, President of the Opelika
and Montgomery and West Point Railroads,
offers a free passage to the company front this
city to Montgomery; and, as we have already
mentioned, Messrs. Cox, Rraiiuird <Nt, (u. will
take the company by steamboat from Mont
gomery to Mobile tree of charge. Messrs.
Powell & Metcalf, proprietors of the stageline,
also offered a free conveyance on this portion
of (lie route. Maj. B. has also “liberal as
surances” as to dhe passage from Mobile to
New Orleans, and we presume that he will
have liberal offers for the passage up the Mis
sissippi river.
It is stated that Mr. Cooper, ot’ Atlanta, will
join Maj. 11 aford at Montgomery, with a com
pany from Georgia. Two or three companies
from South Carolina, we believe, are expected
to join the expedition ; and the present pros
pect is that quite a large and respectable force
will rendezvous at the several stopping points
along the route. Maj. Buford’s unflagging
perseverance and /.cal in pushing toward his
patriotic enterprise entitle him to the thanks
and best wishes of the entire South, and we
are satifted that the results of the expedition
will prove that neither the confidence reposed
in tho undertaking and its leader nor the aid
and encouragement extended to it by tho peo
ple of tho South has been injudiciously orvain
ly bestowed.

The people of the Northern States were

\ line of steamboats lias been chartered to
run between Charleston and Columbia, S.
via the coast and the Santee river. This is a
new enterprise, and it is anticipated that a
largo and profitable trade will be carried on
by this route. The first steamer left Charles

The steamer Texas arrived at New Orleans
on the Pith, with dates from Vera Cruz to the

A Good Rule Working Wrong.
The Indepetulmee Jielye, a Brussels paper of
< haractor and influence in 11 nrope, in chroni
cling the election of Speaker Banks, terms
him a negro, and says that lie belongs, -as his
vdor sufficiently indicates,” to the extreme
abolition party. We have often known men tie
be deceived by exterior appearances, but this
editor is the first man within our knowledge
who was deceived by an inside view of another.
I lie color ol the Speaker by no means corres
ponds with the hue of his political principles,
and the Brussels editor lias been led astray bv
looking at the inner instead of the outer limn—
a singular error.
l 3 ost Office Management.
We observe that many newspapers, and con
spicuous among them the Mail and Journal at
Montgomery, Ala., are almost daily ut ering
imprecations “ loud and deep against the ras
cality which has so generally crept into the
Post Offices of the country, and which reduces
the prospect of the sate transmission of a valu
able letter through the mails to about the same
chance that a tempting carcass thrown into the
Gulf Stream oil the Florida coast would have
to reach the Banks of Newfoundland. If not
sunk or lost in the perils of the wayward pass
age, the sharks that lie in wait for prey will be
pretty apt to -eize the tempting bait.
We, too, have abundant cause of complaint
about the mails or the Post Offices. W ithin
j the last few weeks we have ascertained the
| l, wl f of three letters containing remittances
from different quarter* —one from < Yntrcville,
Ala., one from Abbeville, Ala., and one from
Gleimville. Asa partial safeguard against j
future losses or rather as a means ol ena
bling us to trace up the loss to some particu- .
hir route or location —wo give notice that at
will not bo responsible for the safe transmis- I
sion of any money.sent to us by mail, unless j
the letters containing such remittances are
itjislfri.il. Those indebted to us will please
bear this in mind, and in consigning their
cash letters to the perilous chances of delivery
by post, let them take the precaution of regis
tration, and thus prevent loss at the office of
mailing at least.
In the newspaper mail arrangements, too,
great reformation is needed. Twice last week
tho newspapers from Charleston and other
eastern cities failed to reach us as due. On
Saturday morning we had neither Charleston
nor Augusta papers as late as due, while the
arrival of letters and two or*thrcc papers from
cities further North, showed that the connec
tions were made and a portion of the mail
matter sent through. Do I’ost Masters any
where along the route exercise their own dis
cretion as to what portion of the mail they will
transmit, without delay, and dispose of the
balance as caprice or convenience dictates?
It would really seem so, from the way in which
our exchanges often reach us.
We repeat, the existing postal system does
not meet the wants of the country. Neither
as to regularity and certainty, nor lay the se
curity which it offers, docs it satisfy the busi
ness community. The Government should
either he responsible as common carriers, or
it should give up the transmission of the mail
matter of the country to companies that may
be made so. But if the present system is to
be a perpetual institution, or an examination
of the details of the proposition to give up the
business to individual contractors should prove
it to he impracticable, wekuow of no other rem
edy against losses than the establishment of
J’osial Insurance Offices, as suggested by us the
other day. Whilst the present insecurity and
complaints exist- whilst many persons and
corporations entrust their valuable packages
to the express companies in preference to the
Government institution—every letter of much
value would be insured at a reasonable rate,
if companies affording facilities of insurance
existed, and thus the experiment would he
found a profitable one to the companies as
well as a great desideratum to the business
community.

Interesting News from California, &c.
‘J’lie steamship Prometheus arrived at New
Orleans from San Juan on the evening of the
llthinst. She brings dates from San Fran
cisco to the l!0th ult., from the Isthmus to the
nth instant, and from Japan to the lOth De
cember last.
The raining business in California, seemed
to he prosecuted very successfully. Water
was plentiful, and gold from the mines had
commenced arriving at San Francisco.
A severe earthquake occurred at San Fran
cisco on the night of loth ult. It lasted for
about fifteen seconds and was accompanied by
a rumbling sound. The houses were shaken
like trees in a gale; many persons were
thrown from their beds ; furniture, crockery,
No., were overturned and broken; thousands
of persons rushed out almost naked into the
streets: even the dumb animals manifested
the wildest alarm, and many of them broke
from tlnir stalls and enclosures. For a short
time consternation and disorder prevailed, but
no great damage, and no loss of human life,
had been ascertained.
Nothing important from Oregon was re
ported. No more fighting of consequence with
the Indians appears to have occurred.
From Nicaragua we have the important n
formation that Gen. Walker lias seized all the
boats on the river and lake, and other proper
ty belonging to the Nicaragua Transit Compa
ny, annulled their charter, and granted anoth
er tit is said,) to some company who will im
nunediutely commence running on the route.
The news from Japan, received by the
Schooner Page arrived at San Francisco, is
deplorable. A terrible earthquake at Jeddo,
on the 11th oi November, destroyed one hun
dred thousand dwellings, filty-iour temples,
and thirty thousand inhabitants. Fire broke
out at the same time in thirty different parts
of the city. The earth opened, and closed
over thousands of buildings with their occu
pants. The shock was severe at Simoila. Al
though the distance from Jeddo to Siinoda is
but sixty miles, it appears that no official ac
count oi the earthquake had been received at
the latter place at the time of the sailling of
the schooner, December 10th. The news was
obtained through the Dutch interpreter. The
Japanese scorned to attach but little impor
tance to the catastrophe. The inhabitants of
the portion of the city destroyed wore for warn
ed of the disaster, and many of them escaped.
The buildings of Jeddo are chiefly of one sto
ry, and constructed of very light material.—
Tho temples of worship, however, are lofty,
and in some instances arc constructed of heavy
masonry.
I here had been 78 arrivals of vessels at
llakodadi since that port was opened to for

ERNEST LIN WOOD—A NOVEL.
BY MRS. CAROLINE LEE II ENT/..
In these days of worthless fictiouizing, it is
rare indeed that one can pick up anew book
without a feeling of incredulity as to its intrin
sicliterary merit. Gingerly do we touch the
thousand and odd productions of the army of
book-wrights of this country : a lew pages gen
erally create disgust, if we can rescue our fac
ulties from sleep, and we find ourselves hearti
ly wishing for some literary Robespierre with
a guillotine hard by, whose glittering axe
would descend and cut off the heads of the
adventurous small fry that essay a (light into
the aerial regions of Scott, llulwerand Cooper.
In latter times, three hooks have suddenly
seized the popular mind—eliminations of the
genius of woman: the “ Wide, Wide World,”
“Alone” and the “Old Homestead.'’ To these
we may add, the last, in our opinion, the bCst
of the literary efforts of Mrs. Caroline Lee llcntz,
Ernest Lin wood.
It is melancholy to think, that the hand which
penned this beautiful novel, is dust and ashes
—the heart that thrilled with the noble senti
ments evolved, is pulseless and still, and the
gifted mind which conceived it, is lost to us
and the world. AYe said the other day, that a
melancholy interest attaches to Ernest Lin
wood as the last production of this brilliaut
star in the Southern literary firmament. And
thus it is. In the death of Mrs. llcntz, the
South lias lost one whose place cannot he sup
plied in the world of letters.
Aside from her literary productions, we are
told by those who knew her intimately, that in
all the social qualities of life, Mrs. llcntz had
lew superiors. Like Lady Blcssington, the
fair authoress seemed to have been dipped in
Fonte do Leon’s Fountain of Youth and looked
ever on the “sunny side of thirty.” But Ge
nius never allows her votaries to grow old;
and no one perhaps ever-exemplified this fact
more than the authoress of Ernest Linwood.
We arc not, however, writing a biography.
Our readers already know that Mrs. llcntz
died at Marianna, Florida, after a brief illness,
as unexpected to her immediate friends, as to
the literary world. It is of the book that wc
designed briefly to speak.
Ernest Linwood is tlie most voluminous of
the works of this lady. It appears to be a sort
of auto-biography astlie following pretty clear
ly indicates :
“ Book! Am l writing a book? No, in
deed ! This is only a record of my heart's life,
writ ten at random and carelessly thrown aside,
sheet after sheet, sibylline leaves from the
great book of fate. The wind may blow them
away, a spark consume them. 1 may myself
commit them to the fiames. lam tempted to
do so at this moment.
“ I once thought it a glorious thing to he an
author—to touch the olectric wire of sentiment,
and know that thousands would thrill at the
shock—to speak, and believe that unborn mil
lions would hear the music of those echoing
words—to possess the wand of the enchanter,
the ring of the genii, the magic key to the
temple of temples, the pass-word to the uni
verse of mind. 1 once had such visions as
these, but they are passed.
“To touch the electric wire, and feel the
bolt scathing one's own brain—to speak, to
hear the dreary echo of one’s voice return
through tho desert waste—to enter the temple
and find nothing but ruins and desolation—to
lay a sacrifice on the altar, and sec no lire from
heaven descend in token of acceptance to
stand the priestess ot a lonely shrine, uttering
oracles to the unheeding wind—is not such too
often the doom of those who have looked to
fame as their heritage, believing genius their
dower ?
“ Heaven save me lroiu such a destiny.—
Better the daily task the measured duty, the
i elmined-down spirit, the gir lied heart.”
We observe throughout the work, that
; strange and supernatural prophecy which ex
i isted iii theoase of Miss Landou, whose memor
j able lines in which she predicts her untimely
! fate, when leaving England for Capetown, are
remembered yet with sadness. There are
; many passages in this work, singularly appli
j cable to the circumstances of .Mrs. Hentz, and
, one cannot but believe that the second sight
| of the Scottish seers was upon her when she
penned them. She writes with a devotional
spirit at once touching and remarkable, and
; the reader involuntarily thinks that as these
pure thoughts were put upon paper,
“ Slu l niw tlie bright /adder doseriiding from Heaven,
And /< /( the good unge/s come down in her heart.”
Ernest Linwood is in line a fiction, if it can
be called a fiction, of great power, pathos and
beauty. There is more robustness of thought,
purity of language, religious sentiment and
plot-interest in this work than in any other
production of Mrs. llcntz. It is decidedly the
best, as it is the last, ol’ the creations of her
genius. There is more mind, more soul, more
true and substantial merit: it is the final Hash
ing out of the diviner attributes of a lustrous
Soul, before it takes its flight to the Maker of
the Btars . —Mohdt Ircniiij A Urs.
Mr. Rolette, of the Minnesota Council, has
introduced a memorial to Congress, asking a
division of the Territory on the parallel of
forty-five degrees ten minutes, from the St.
Croix to the Missouri. Minnesotaat present i
is equal to five States the size of Indiana.
Taking tho Assessment.
The following good story we find in the last
West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter :
When tho immortal Col. was Asses
sor of a neighboring Parish, he yvus wont to
have a high old time. One day, as he was as
sessing the valuables of tlie occupants of a log
cabin, situated in the pine woods, lie in his
usual urbane manner, “popped the questions”
to the old woman, while the old mail had g lie
out to procure some “corn cob oil” wherewith
to regale his guest.
“ How many horses, cattle, sheep, chickens,
&0., have you got, my dear madam, and how
much are they worth.”
“ Well, tliar’s three old horses, hut they aint
wutli a cent—three cows, but they’ve bin lost
this spring two years—nary sheep, ’ccpt my
old man, and he aint wutli a cuss ; but he .oi
lers votes the Demmycrack ticket, and buys
his whisky by the jug when he can get it a
heap cheaper by the bar *l. The chickens were
all stole the other night, an’ 1 hope to massy
they’ll piz.en the scamp that hooked ’em.’
“ Very satisfactory estimate of your valua
bles, particularly about the old man; but here’s
something worth assessing, (pointing to a dir
ty little urchin about five years old that was
clinging to the old woman's gown,) how much
do you value that little nigger at ?”
“ Little nigger ! sake, alive! you infernal
old rascal, do you dare to call my child a nig
ger? Clare out o’ here, or I’ll knock the day
lights out o’ you in a niinnit. Oh my ! to
think l should live to he forty odd next class
meeting and to hear my own child called a nig
ger by such fellow as you !”
By this time the old woman had worked her
self up to a pitch of ungovernable fury, and
raising her voice to a shrill yell she called out
to tlie old man, to come quick and “chaw the
Colonel up,” and we arc compelled by an in
ward reward for veracity, to record that the
Colonel’s old bay made six miles of bad road
in better time than Lecomte ever did in his
palmiest days. A deputy was sent to attend
to the unfinished business in the settlement,
and the Colonel’s remembrance of that day’s
work lias “hoisted” him into the other ex
treme, for the last and biggest fight he was in
was occasioned by his entering upon his record
when taking tho last census—six little mulat
toes as the children of one of his constituents.
A Japanese Gulf Stream.
Lieut. Bent, of tlie United States Navy, read
a paper before the Geographical and Histori
cal Society, New York, on the 24th ult., in
which lie showed from the records kept by the
Japan Expedition, that there is also in the Pa
cific a “river of the ocean,” flowing to the
northward and eastward along the coast of
Asia, corresponding in every essential parti
cular with the Gulf Stream ol'the Atlantic.—
There is an increased temperature of both air
and water the moment the oceanic stream of
that region is entered, but a predominating
thermal change in tlie water, which almost
invariably continues superior in temperature
to that of the air until leaving the stream again.
It is caused by the great equatorial current of
tlie Pacific. Along tlie const of Formosa its
strength and character are as decidedly
marked as those of the Gulf Stream on the
Florida coast. Its greatest velocity is in tlie
Gulf of Yedo, where it is eighty miles per day.
Its average velocity is from thirty to forty
miles per day. Lieut. B. attributes the mild
climate of Japan and California to the Pacific
stream, and said that the Gulf stream has not
a similar influence upon our coast, because the
cold current flowing south intervenes between
it and tlie shore.
Theft at the Perry House.
On the night of the 14th inst., four persons
arrived in Columbus from Savannah, and were
placed in tho same room at the Perry House,
the place being crowded by visitors to the ra
ces. In the morning, one of them was missing,
and also two silver watches and some 50 or 60
dollars in money. Tlie supposed rogue came
up on tlie train from Savannah and registered
his name as James Harper, Louisville, Ky;
but called himself Roberts on the cais. He was
neatly dressed, smooth shaved, had light hair,
is of a medium size, and weighed about 160
pounds. lie left anew blackleather carpetbag
in the room, containing only a pair of blue
jeans pantaloons and a check shirt. The pro
prietors of the Perry House would pay liber
ally for his arrest.
‘flic guests robbed were Messrs. Beeman
and E. 15. Young, of Eufaula, and J. (J. Ala
thews, of Newton, Alabama. They consider
themselves lucky to have escaped with so
slight losses.— Times of Saturday Evening.

Courtship.
A lover should ho treated w ith the same
gentleness as anew glove. The young lady
should pull him on with (lieutmost tenderness
at first, only making the simplest advance at
a time, till she gradually gains upon him, and
twists him ultimately round her little finger ;
Whereas the young lady who is hasty, and in
too great a hurry, will never get a lover to
take her hand, but be left with nothing but
her wjts at her fingers’ ends.
