LAROEMT CITY circulation.
The City Council of Savannah has voted au
appropriation of $25,000 for the removal of a
serious obstruction to the passage of vessels up
to that city, known as “the ktioll.” This ob
struction is au accumulation of sand, oyster
shells, &c., near the mouth of the Savannah
river. Congress nt its last session made an
appropriation for improving the harbor of Sa
vannah, but the expenditure was, by the word
ing of the act, restricted to the removal of ob
structions long since placed there in a time o!
war witli Great Britain to prevent the ap
proach of the enemy’s vessels. Au effort will
now be made to have this appropriation exten
ded also to natural obstructions ol the river.

A few days ago, a police officer in Charles
ton, upon searching the premises of an old ne
gro woman, discovered about SI,OOO worth of
clothing of various descriptions. The sable
proprietress had not been found, and it was
suspected that she was not the only one who is
in the secret of the private transfer of this ex
tensive lot of dry goods.
Mr. Hufty, the Sheriff elect of New Orleans,
who has been deposed by the Legislature, and
whose appointed successor has also been de
clared by the (Ith District Court to be the legal
officer, lias taken an appeal to the Supreme
Court of Louisiana, and will not give up his
liooks and papers until the case is decided by
that tribunal.
Gov. Barstow, of Wisconsin, who has here
tofore held on to the office in opposition to the
expressed will of a majority of the people,
has determined to retire, and has tendered his
resignation to the Legislature. There will no
doubt be still much contention and dispute
about the office, as the acceptance of his “res
ignation” will in itself be an indirect repudia
tion of liasliford’s claims to the office by virtue
of an election by the people.
It seems that some well-informed and expe
rienced nautical men have still very strong
hopes of the safety of the Pacific. Among
others, Capt. Judkins of the steamship Persia
(who made the passage during the time the
Pacific would have made it liad she come up to
tier schedule,) expresses his confidence that
she is not lost. Mr. Collins, also, is sanguine
of her safety. The propeller Arctic, which
returned to New York on the 20th, remained
in port only a few hours, and again put to sea
to continue the search.

Inserting a Bing in a Bear’s Nose.
A Mr. Alfred Lovell appears before the pub
lic of New Orleans in a very singular “card.”
It is an apology to the citizens for liis failure
heretofore to comply with a restriction imposed
upon him by the authorities as a preliminary
to the running of his “Australian Bear”
against the horse “Rocky Mountain Chief.”—
The authorities required him to insert a ring
in the nose of the bear, to prevent his doing
mischief to the crowd assembled to witness the
race. Lovell states that after much difficulty
he procured a ring of the peculiar form and
effect desired; but the question, how the ring
was to be inserted in tlie nostrils of the bear,
was a more serious one, and lie lias not yet
been able to solve it. Someone suggested
chloroform, and lie states that he lias “admin
istered it in fabulous quantities, in the pres
ence of many respectable physicians of Now
Orleans, and all without effect.” He wonders
at this exemption of Bruin from the influence
of an ether so powerful in its effects upon all
other creatures, and asks, “Is the great race
to be stopped on account of the idiosynoracy
of my bear ?” In conclusion, he asks the med
ical faculty to come to bis relief, and requests
the citizens not to put the blame of tlieir dis
appointment upon him, but upon the authori
ties who have imposed on him so unnecessary
and impracticable a requirement.
The Charleston and Columbia Steamboat
Line.
The new enterprise of runuiug a steamboat
line from Charleston to Columbia, S. C., has
had a very successful commencement. The
Gov. Graham'the first boat from Charleston, ■-
arrived at Columbia on the 22d inst., having
experienced no difficulties or delays on account
of the river navigation : but she was delayed
fully two days during the passage by the want
of wood. The experiment being anew one,
no wood was provided along the banks of the
viver, and the crew had to land and cut wood
as needed, in some instances having to go a
unße from the river to procure it, and general
lyihaving to cut green wood. The Gov. Grn
aiaw had up-freiglit to the amount of SSOO,
aud was to have left Columbia on the 23d with
about the same amount of down-freight, of
which 500 baJee of cotton formed the bulk.—
The company have established a very reasona
ble rate of freight, taking cotton at 75 cents
per bale, and other freight in proportion.
Selfish Philanthropy.
fanaticism ever pushes its schemes ol mis
taken “philanthropy” to the injury rather
than the benefit of humanity. Even when not
allied with selfishness, the zeal of the fanatic
is nothing but intemperance and intolerance of
the grossest kind : and as these attributes dis
dain practical information and sound judg
ment, ignorance usually directs and disaster
attend- ilr career.
The British Government is represented to
be at present interfering in the domestic af
fairs ol the Chinese, with all the reckless zeal
of fanaticism and all the blindness and intem
perance of selfish philanthropy. The custom
of selling children, generally the females, has
long prevailed in some of the districts of Chi
na. This revolting and apparently unfeeling
course is, however, hut a substitute for infan
ticide; lor so dense is the population, and so
inadequate and precarious the means of sup
port, that millions of female children have ac
tually been murdered by tlieir parents ! The
law tolerates it, as a means of averting famine
anil diminishing pauperism and crime.’ The
sale of these doomed and innocent infants is
certainly a more humane resort than their
strangulation ; and the remedy for the crying
evil that necessitates cither alternative lies not
in a prohibition of the sale, but in the amelio
ration of the condition of the people who are
forced to such a dire extremity. What has
Great Britain ever done to ameliorate the con
dition of this people ? She extorts from them
a portion of the pittance which constitutes
their blender means of support; she has for
ced upon them, against tlieir will, the opium
which she introduced at the cannon’s mouth,
and which is the greatest curse of the country
—more disastrous and pernicious even than
intoxicating liquor. She profits by the contin
uance of this interference and abuse, and
therefore has no thought of abating them.—
But false philanthropy, overlooking these preg
nant causes of Chinese misery and crime, fix
es its gaze upon the traffic in children, and
blind fanaticism resolves upon its suppression.
We are told that one Portuguese vescl contain
ing children thus purchased has been over
hauled, the children released, aud the captain
fined £IOO ; and that Sir .John Bowling had
issued a proclamation for the suppression of
the traffic. Guided only by the false philan
thropy which makes it the boasted opponent
of individual (not national) slavery, the Bri
tish Government is about to add another to tho
oppressions which it lias inflicted upon the
Chinese, and to compel that unfortunate peo
ple to substitute a far more revolting crime
for that of selling their children to strangers
who can and will provide for them better than
their parents. In the true spirit of Pharasai
cal fanaticism, Great Britain resolves on the
suppression of an evil, without providing any
measure to avert an alternative more heinous
and revolting, which must inevitably be adop
ted in the present condition of Chinese life.—
Her vaunted opposition to slavery must be en
forced, even at the sacrifice of the lives of the
victims whom she would save from a master’s
rule ! In so doing slio is interfering with the
decrees of Providence and the instincts of hu
manity—she is entailing death or a life of mis
ery and crime upon those whom she under
takes to protect—and all to enforce obedience
to a principle which, however humane in the
abstract, is unsuited to the condition and ca
pacity of many nations, and can only be ap
plied to them to their injury and retrograda
tion in the path of civilization and human
happiness.

Mr. Everett on Washington.
lion. Edward Everett’s lecture on Washing
ton lias been received in Richmond and Peters
burg, Va., with the most enthusiastic delight
and applause. At Richmond, the proceeds
amounted to SBSB, which were applied to the
fund for the purchase of Mt. Vernon. The
Petersburg Express thus glowingly speaks of
the delivery and style of the lecture at Peters
burg :
“ Intoxicated by the eloquence of a noble
oration and yet under the spell of the enchan
ter, we sit down to give some inadequate ex
pression to the feelings with which we have
been inspired in listening to the silver words
of Edward Everett upon George Washington.
But we hardly know what to say. An excess
of delight like an excess of terror for the mo
ment renders its object voiceless, and as those
who looked upon the Medusa were frozen into
silence, so coming directly from the hall where
for nearly two hours we sat in mute eestacy
as the glorious music fell upon our ears, we
| find no language to utter forth our admiration,
j It is difficult which the most to commend, the
style, the manner or the embodied thought of
the wonderful performance, and almost every
individual with whom we exchanged an opin
ion, as we passed out of the room, had trea
sured up a different passage, this one reuiem
i boring some noble sentiment, and that one re
! calling some gem of rhetoric that 101 l amid the
prolusion of brilliants which the orator scat
tered around him as he proceeded. To declare
that it was the most beautiful speech that we
* over heard—to say that it descended upon us
j like a rain of pearls—would be to do the great
est injustice to Mr. Everett, for it would im
ply that the effort was addressed rather to the
imagination than to the judgment, and never
was there a speech of more entire simplicity
or one more perfectly free from the ad nipt nu
dum. Os turgid phrases, swelling periods
made up of the largest words in the dictiona
ry, there were none—the most exquisitely fiu
\ ished portions were constructed of the simplest
j material of diction. It seemed as if the great
master of eloquent composition had chosen all
I those ornaments of language which had been
rejected by more pretentious workmen, aud so
arranged them as to produce an effect beyond
their highest ambitions. Macaulay tells us.
in a happy illustration, that there is a window
; in Lincoln Cathedral which was made by an
apprentice out of the pieces of glass which had
been thrown aside by liis employer, and that
the window was so far superior to every other
! > n the Church that, according to tradition, the
vanquished artist killed himself from mortifi
cation. So Mr. Everett, disdaining to use
those artifices of clap trap and prcttiucsscs of
speech which distinguish and deform the usual
efforts ot modern oratory, has fashioned a style
which may till the souls of our grandiloquent
public speakers with despair.”

California Finances.
Some people have an idea, that California is
so pre-eminently a land of gold, that sueli a
thing as poverty is unknown. That this idea
is not altogether correct, is shown by the fact
that the debts of parties taking the benefit of
the Insolvent Act last year, were $8,000,000.
To meet these, assets were rendered estimated
at $1,000,000, but which when sold, brought
only $2,000. One insolvent’s assets estimated
at $53,000. sold for $3.50, andthc promissory
note of another, once considered very rich, for
SIO,OOO, brought $2.

years, in consequence of the homicide of Col.
Loring, at St. Nicholas Hotel, is said to be so
ill that it is not thought lie will live. The Doc

The New York Herald says : “ The body of
Capt. Palmer, of the schooner Eudoralmogene,
the vessel scuttled and sunk near City Island,
Long Island .Sound, last fall, on her passage
from Williamsburg to New Haven, and whose,
fate has since remained a mystery, was discov
ered Saturday, 16tli, liy two boys who were
playing near the foot of North Second street,
Williamsburg. The body was sewed up in a
coarse coal sack, the legs drawn close up to
the abdomen, and tied together at the knees.
Upon being exposed by the Coroner, the body
was recognised by Mr. Kingsland, of Green
point, who was well acquainted with Captain
Palmer. An incised wound was found on the
side of the neck, ex po ’ng the carotid artery,
and a cut from a sharp weapon was on the
forehead, proving that he had been murdered.
The Coroner will hold an inquest on the body
to-morrow, and will endeavor to procure the
attendance of witnesses from Deep Itivcr, Con
necticut, the home of Capt. Palmer. The ne
gro charged with the murder is still under ar
rest.”

Seizure of Cannon and Sharp’s Kifles.
The following extra from the Lexington Mis
souri Express of the Oth, gives some particu
lars of the seizure of arms destined for the
Kansas traitors:
The good steamer Arabia, Captain John S.
Shaw, arrived at our wharf about sunrise this
morning, immediately on landing, a committee
was despatched up town to inform our citizens
that a person from Massachusetts was on board,
having in liis possession one hundred Sharp’s
ritles and two cannon ! destined for service in
Kansas, and sent forward by the Massachu
setts Aid Society. This information brought
together many of our most respectable and re
liable citizens, when a conference was had with
Mr. “Start,” with a view of inducing him to
leave the “dangerous” weapons with our citi
zens for safe keeping. This he assented to,
and delivered the “goods” up, subject to the
requisition of Gov. Shannon or his successor in
office.
The proceedings were orderly, and although
the determination to arrest the arms was de
cided, no one talked of violence to tho pool
tool that could so heartlessly lend himself to
such unnatural work.
The arms were boxed up and marked “Car
penter’s Tools.” The discovery that they
were on board, was made at or below Glasgow,
from a letter dropped by Mr. S. in the cabin,
and picked up by a boy and handed to Capt.
Shaw, by whom it was read aloud in the Social
Hall. The passengers and officers were high
ly incensed at the disclosures, but no indigni
ty was off ered to the miserable disorganize!-.
“The “Carpenter’s Tools” are now safely
stored in this city.

The city of Jcddo, in Japan, the partial de
struction of which was recently noticed by us,
is described in Lippineott’s Gazctceras the sec
ond capital of Japan, it being the residence of
the Siogun, or military Emperor. It is situa
ted on the Gulf of Jeddo, on the southeast
coast of the Island of Niphon, in lat. 35 deg. 10
min. N., long. 130 deg. 10 min. E. Its popu
lation is stated to be 1,500,000. Tho city is
said to be enclosed by a trench, and intersect*
! ed by numerous canals ami branches of a riv
| er, navigable for vessels of moderate burden.—
It has a fortified palace with very extensive
grounds, many noble residences ornamented
i externally with sculptures and painting, some
! large temples and other public edifices, and nu-
I uierous conventual establishments; but its
! dwellings are mostly wood, and it suffers fre
i qucntly from destructive fires. The imperial
library is said to contain 160,000 volumes.—
I he Dutch have long had a commercial mission
at Jcddo, andboththe Americans and the Brit
ish have recently concluded treaties from
which important results may be expected.—
Outside of the city are two large suburbs.
Negro Suffrage in the District.
Mr. Greeley, in a recent letter to the Tri
bune, complains that free persons of color in
this District are not allowed to vote, and are
ineligible to office. Colored persons are not
allowed to vote in New York either, Mr. Grcc
ley,. unless they are freeholders, nor are they
eligible to office in that State. The people of
New \ ork, iu 1846, refused, by a majority of
153,000. to grant universal suffrage to the ne
groes. Why does not Mr. Greeley redress this
grievance, as he regards it, home, before he
embarks in a crusade against the people of this
District ? Waih. Organ.
Cursing Association.
The Okalona (Miss.) News suggests the or
ganization in that place of a “Cursing Associ
ation,’’ for the purpose of building a tepee
around a grave yard. -‘The power of profan
ity,” remarks the editor “which runs to waste
in* the streets is enormous. Let every mem
ber of the Association, whenever he utters an
oath, be obliged to give a paling, and whenev
er he curses, let him contribute a rail to make
a fence around the grave yard. We are well
aware that the Bible forbids to render ‘railing
for railing,’ but we are sure it has no applica
tion to such cases as the present. We do not
know the amount requisite to enclose our cem
etery, but it is amply within the means of the
proposed Association. There were sixty-ouc
votes polled at the late election ; some few ot
the voters of our village do not swear, but
there are usually a number of accomplished
swearers in town not yet entitled toavotc, and
many of our boys can bold a hand witli any of
their seniors. All things considered, we think
the income of the Association might be estima
ted at half a dozen palings a day from fifty
regular contributors, which would pale fifty
yards a day. A few court days would supply
all the rails, and the Sunday cursing could be
set apart as a fund for posts. The little boys
might find the nails, and after the paling was
completed the villagers, who affect such phra
ses, “Darn my skin,” “By the great Mogul,
&c., could whitewash it.”
This is a capital suggestion, and there are
many other places beside Okalona where the
organization of a Cursing Association for some
useful object, would prove one of the easiest
and most efficient modes ever adopted for rais
ing a large revenue. The vast amount of curs
ing power that now runs to waste is enough to
overcome every economical mind with a settled
melancholy. Cursing was for a time practised
principally in military and navy circles, but it
has now become as common and cheap as dirt.
Every loafer keeps a supply of the article, and
little boys damn each other’s eyes and souls
with as much vim as if they had the power to
execute the sentences which they pronounce.
The great originality and wit required for
cursing naturally gives tlieir possessor and ex
alted standing in the opinion both of liis fellow
men and himself. Every man wlio can bring
in the name of the Almighty upon the slightest
occasion, is naturally regarded as a fellow of
infinite humor. Such a luxury ought not to
be enjoyed without paying for it, ancl lienee the
value of the suggestion of the Okalona News.

Galled.
Miss Murray’s book has touched our North
ern Abolitionists on the raw. It is not so much
her view of slavery that irks them, as her de
claration of the good taste, elegance and re
finement of Southern ladies and gentlemen.—
They wince, and some of them absolutely howl,
at the exposure of the vulgarity, snobbish
tawdiuess and coarse pretension which distin
guish the bon ton of their cities ; an exposure
made all the more severe by the undoubted
competency of Miss Murray to judge upon
these subjects. That a favorite Maid of Honor
to Queen Victoria should tell them that their
New York society is vulgar and pretentious is
bad enough, but much worse is her declara
tion that the hated Southerns possess, by far,
more taste, better breeding and superior re
finement. The same opinions were expressed
by Lord Morpeth, and cannot fail to be enter
tained by any really high bred lady or gen
tleman, wlio travels through the two sections,

Cheap and Excellent Candles.
The following recipe 1 have tried several
times, and find it all it is cracked up to be. I
have no doubt that it would have been worth
SSO to me had I known it five years ago.—
Alany farmers have a surplus of stale fat and
dirty grease, which can bemade into good can
dles at a trifling expense. I kept both tallow’
and lard candles through the last summer, and
lard candles standing the best and burning
quite as w’ell and giving as good a light as the
tallow ones. Directions for making good can
dles from lard : For 12 pounds lard, take 1
pound saltpetre, and 1 pound of alum, mix
them and pulverize them ; dissolve the saltpe
tre and alum in a gill of boiling W’ater: pour
the compound into the lard before it is quite all
melted, stir the whole until it boils, skim off
what rises; let it simmer until the water is
boiled out, or until it ceases to throw off steam;
pour off the lard as soon as it is done, and clean
the boiler while it is hot. If the candles are
to run, you may commence immediately, if to
be dipped, let the lard cool to a cake, and then
treat it as you would tallow.” —Correspondence

A correspondent of the Independent Press,
! of Abbeville, writes in reference to the use of
j damaged potatoes by cows :
Recently l bad some potato banks opened,
and found them largely decayed. There was
a considerable amount of them thrown out to
the hogs. The milch cows and stock cattle
were in good keeping, aud likely ate heartily
of them. Nor should 1 have prevented it had
I been present, as 1 never had heard, that I
recollect, of decayed potatoes injuring cattle.
Soon after they had ate of the potatoes one
and another were taken sick, and in less than
a week seven head died. Ten in all were made
| sick, but three are likely to recover.
A Scene at the Gate of Paradise.
A poor tailor, being released from a trou
blesome world and a scolding wife, appeared
at the gate of Paradise. Peter asked him if
he had ever been to purgatory ?
“No,” replied the tailor, “but I have been
married.”
“Oh, ah !” said Peter, “ a scolding wife,
too—’tis all the same—l understand you, walk
in, poor man; your troubles are ended.”
Peter had scarcely shut the door, when a
fat turtle-eating Alderman came along, puffing
and blowing.
“ Halloo ! you fellow,” he cried, “ open the
door.”
“ Not so fast,” said Peter, looking through
a wicket, “have you ever been to l’urgato
! ry ?”
“ No,” said the Alderman, “ but what of
i that? You have let in that poor half-starved
scarecrow of a tailor, and he has been no more
to Purgatory than myself.”
But he has been married,” said Peter.
“Married!” exclaimed the Alderman, “why,
1 have been married twice.”
“ The devil you have!” said Peter: “then
be oft’ with you—Paradise is no place for
fools !”
Woman’s Curiosity.

know!”
Amy.—“ Well, I’m going to get the boot
brush and try it.”
Amy finds out, and the scene closes.
