Fine Lettuce.
We found on our sanctum table last Friday
morning, a bunch of Lettuce, accompanied by
a note, stating that it was planted on the 10th
ot March. It measured about 15 inches in
diameter, and altogether, was the largest, we
have seen tor many a day. It was delicious,
an 1 more than sufficient to serve a family ol
seven perso s at dinner.

We observe that in New Or eans and Mobile
ho report of Scble singer's defeat by the Cos

The Pacific Hailroad Bill.
The bill reported to the Senate by the select
nnmittee. aud now pending in that body, ap
•ears to have been so framed as to afford a
;uod prospect of uniting the several local in
orests that are working for their respective
lutes, rather than arraying them one against
he other, as has heretofore been the case.—

ho Secretary of War. the Secretary of the In

hem for building the road. They are to se
• ct the cheapest and most feasible route, ns
teterinined by the proposals submitted. The
litr ictors are to select the termini and gene
il route for themselves, and make their bids
ii reference thereto; and the bill provides
.or n liberal grant of land on each aide of tin
co.i I, in alternate sections, and a grant of mon
<•>■ nut exceeding $15.0,10,000 in the aggre
ss ite, which is to be paid in instalments ot
$-.500,000 ..n the completion of each hundred
ini.es These are the important features ot
the bill. It also requires bidders to propose
terms tor carring the mails, transporting Gov
er me. t troops and supplies. &c.,and to name
the dumt.un of their privilege, at the expira
t mi of which the road is to be given up to the
S lies whose territory it may traverse.
Unquestionably, this project avoids many of
the Ulioulties upon which former schemes for
accomplishing this great enterprise have split.
It is not liable to sectional hos ility, because
eicli section and route is invited to a fair corn
s’ tition for Government favor, and the private
0.-ip'.ul ni stake will of course require tho so
i •otion of the most practicable route. We be
ve that if the bill pass s, the coutract will

OLE BULL.
This distinguished Violinist, with his talen
ted Troupe, will give a Concert this evening at
Temperance Hall. The renown of Ole Bull is
too wide spread to need commendation from
us to attract the attention of our citizens.
Those who desire to be present will do well
to procure tickets at an early hour to ensure
preferred seats, as there is nothing more cer
tain than that the spacious Hall will he full.
Tickets to be had at Vanden Berg’s Music
Store, Broad street.
We append the following notice of this
Troupe, from n late number of the New Or
leans Crescent:
Ole Bi ll’s Troitl. — The two concerts
given last week by this great artiste, were suc
cesses worthy of his fame and creditable to the
musical taste of our citizens. Ole Bull’s re- ■
nown is -so world-wide, his reputation so firm
ly established, that no praise from out- pen
can add to it. To call him an artiste is not
enough : he is more than that. He is a great
genius, who, untrammeled by the rules of art,
pours forth his inspirations in a flood of melo
ly which touches and exercises every emotion
if the heart. In his hands the violin speaks
the teelings which inspire him—and whether i
grave or gay, mirthful or sad, carry with him !
(he hearts of his auditors, till bis feelings be
come as it were, their own, and they under- 1
stand and appreciate his genius. It is this \
that has placed Ole Bull above all others, l’or
though art can perfect talent, it is the inspira
tion of genius that makes greatness.
Signora Spinola has a very sweet and flexi
ble soprano voice, while her execution is very
orilliaut. She rendered “Qui la Voce,” the
celebrated cavatina from Puritani, most de
ightlully.
Miss Vail, the charming young Ptima Don
na, became at once a great favorite. There is
t fascination about her manner that none can
withstand. Like a rose-bud just opening it’
lelicate petals to woo the first rays of the mor
ling sun and casting its delicate perfume
tround. she is ju3t blooming into womanhood,
with all the beauty, purity and innocence ol
he girl. To add to her charms, she possesses
i fine soprano voice, and sings with great vig
ir and expression, and is winni ,g for herselt
in enviable reputation as an artiste, while her
charming manners and social virtues have
nade as many friends for the lady, as her tal
•nts have made admirers for the artiste.
Herr Schreiber, the performer onthecornet
i piston, made a decided impression. His
playing exceeds anything we have ever heard.
His execution is wonderful, while hiseehoand
rotto voce is perfection itself.
Franz Roth is a brilliant and finished pian
ist. As a soloist he ranks deservedly high;
while as an accompanist, we have rarely heard
him equalled.

How the Destruction of Trees Affects the
Rain.
From tho Savannah Republican.
We find in a magazine before us an inter
esting article upon this subject, a synopsis of
which will be found both entertaining and in
structive to farmers and landed proprietors.—
By cutting down the treesupou mountain sides
and ravines, we are inevitably entailing two
great evils upon posterity—a scarcity of fuel
and a scarcity of water. The former evil is
the more obvious, but the latter is equally cer
tain and far more formidable. The lack of
wood tor fuel may be supplied from our abun
dant accumulations of coal; but no art or la
bor can supply a substitute for water.
The h ddeii foi ntains of ail our springs and
rivers are in the atinosphcrq. Every drop of
fresh water is drawn, in the form of dew or
rain, from these inexhaustible, ever-renewed
. eservoirs. Trees act in many ways in regu
lating and distributing the supply of moisture.
In certain localities they even produce a seasi
de effect upon the amount of moisture depos
ited from the atmosphere. Thus, in the Island
ot Saint Helena, great attention has been paid
within the last quarter of a century to the
planting of trees upon the steep bare hillsides;
and it has been found that the fall of water has
almost doubled since the time when Napoleon
was a prisoner there. The reason is obvious.
The temperature of trees, in hot climates, is
always lower than that of the surrounding at
mosphere. The winds, loaded with moisture
exhaled front the ocean over which they have
past, sweep over the island. The trees con
dense this, and it i’ deposited in dew or rain.
Still mere remarkably is this shown by the fa
mous fountain trees on Ferro, one of the Ca
nary Islands. So great is their condensing
power that they seem to be always wrapped in
a vapory cloud, and the moisture collects in
drops upon the leaves, trickles down the
branches and stems, and collecting into a re
servoir at their feet, forms a perpetual foun
tain. It is a repetition on a larger scale ol
the phenomenon which occurs when ajug ot
iced water is brought into a heated room.
iVe have of lateyears heard much of drought
and consequent famine in the Cape do Vtrd
Islands. The soil is of a peculiarly porous
nature, and therefore requires a constant sup
ply ot moisture as an indispensable condition
of fertility. For a long time the climate has
been constantly growing less and less humid.
The Socorrodos, the largest river in Madeira,
formerly had a sufficient depth of water to float
timber down to the sea. It is now a mere riv
ulet, whose waters, except in flood time, are
scarcely discoverable as they trickle along its
pebbly bed. This diminution of moisture can
oe traced directly to the destruction of the
forests that formerly covered the mountain
sides. The Portuguese government were ear
ly aware of this, and laws were framed pro
minting the cutting down of trees. But tim
uer was valuable, and the land was wanted for
v.neyards. Portuguese laws were powerless
against the demands of immediate interest.—
8o the trees were cut down, the springs failed,
and fountains dried up. H- nee came drought,
tamine, and destitution. Present gain must
sometimes be purchased by future loss.
Trees regulate the supply of moisture in
many w iys, even where we cannot suppose
that they affect its absoluto amount. The
evaporation from their leaves is considerable,
and this, diffused through the atmosphere, is
wafted over wide tracts of country. They
shelter the ground beneath them, and thus
prevent the water that falls from being car
ried off by evaporation, all- wing it to pene
trate the earth, keeping the springs and foun
tains in perpetual flow in the driest seasons.
Their roots and interlacing fibrtss penetrate the
soil, preventing it from being washed away by
udden showers, an i forming a sort of sponge
that absorbs the water, and gives it out slowly
aud uniformly, thus equalizing its flow, pre
venting droughts on the one band and floods
on the other. When the forests on hillsides
and ravine slopes are cut down, the rain slides
off from them as from a roof. A sudden show
er swells every rivulet into a torrent. Every
tiny brook pours its accumulation at once in I
the rivers, whose channels are inadequate to 1
carry ott the sudden accession, hence disas
trous inundations, tollowed at short intervals
by low water. The supply of water that should
have been distributed over weeks is exhausted
in hours. That which should have bubbled up
in springs and flowed through rivulets, making
the meadows green, is carried at once through
the gieat rivers to the ocean, tobeagain taken
up by evaporation only to go again through
the same round. The volume of the great
rivers, the Danube, the Mississippi, the Nile,
the Rhine and the Euphrates, may undergo no
change from age to age; for they derive their
waters from a wide extent of country, and
droughts in one section are balanced by show
ers in another. But the smaller rivers dimin
ish. the rivulets dry up. and the springs fall,
except immediately after rains, when they are
girally swollen. Thus by the operation ot
one law, the destruction of forests causes the
two op| osite evils of floods and droughts,
Humboldt called public attentions the pro
bable consequences of the destruction of forests
as ear yas the year 1800. It is a well known
fact, that the lakes in the valley of Mexico
have greatly contracted since the old Aztec
times. The city of Mexico occupies its an
cient site, but it is now some distance in shore
instead ol on an island, ns formerly. This is
to be ascribed to the felling of the forests that
clothed the adjacent hills. * The British Asso
ciutum has collected from India a vast amount
ot information bearing upon the same point.—
Among the lulls of Ceylon, where the forests
have been cut down, in order to form coffee
plantations, the loss of the springs and foun
tains has already become an evil of great mag
nitude.
liar own country is vet too new. and oar for
ests are yet, in spite of woodmen and axes,
too numerous for the scarcity of water to have
become a serious evil. But like causes pro- j
duce like effects; and unie-s we chauge our
procedure, our children will suffer from our
wanton carelessness. We have no right for our
own temporary advantage to desolate the
country. No generation lias more than a life
interest in the earth, of which it is but the
trustee if posterity, Every man who has re
visited his early home in the older States, after
an absence of a few years, cannot have failed
to notice the diminution of toe streams and
springs. There is probably no wnter in the
b ook thatturnedhiswater-wheel. Thespriugs
in the pasture, which he remembers as ever
flowing, are dry ; and if a season of unusual
drought happens, the cattle must be driven
long distances to water—a necessity which
never was known in his early years. More
especially will this be the cast if a railroad or
an iron establishment has occasioned a rapid
demand for fuel. The trees have gone, and
with them the water; aud the meadows arid
fields are dry and parched. In their haste to
be rich, the farmers have killed the goose that
laid the golden eggs for them.
The Fight between the Nicaraguans and
Costa Ricans.
Hft< unit Slaughter of the Nicaraguan*.
New York, April 18.
The steamer George Law lias arrived, bring
; ing over $1,700,000 in treasure, and highly
important intelligence from Central America,
The report of the defeat of Walker’s troops
was brought to Panama by the Dutch steamer
Emilie, from San Jose. Gen. Schleissenger,
with four hundred men, was well fortified at a
hacienda, near Santa Rosa, v hen he was sud
; denly attacked by the Costa Ricans, anti en
tirely defeated. Sixteen prisoners were imme
diately court marshalled and- hot by theCostn,
: Ricans. They were chiefly Irish and Germans.
| Accounts say that Walker’s party was sur
prised by the Costa Ricans, who, after one
volley only, leaped the wads, and with knife
and bayonet, cut down ai] they encountered,
dispersing or taking prisoner ’ the remainder,
i The Costa Ricans had 16 killed and 25 wound*
j ed. Ninety of Walker’s men were found dead,
j and it is supposed many others who fled to the
woods must have perished.
Costa Rica is in a state of great excitement.
The war is popular with all classes, and many
‘ foreign residents have tendered their services
to the government.
The prii cipal army of Costa Rica, 3,000
strong, under President Mora, were marching
to Nicaragua at last accounts, and would cross
the frontier in eight days, when it was expec
ted the hero of Sonora would have to fly for
his life.
President Mora’s dispatch says tho attack
lasted fourteen minutes only, when the filibus
ters broke ranks and fled terrified to the woods.
They were closely followed by the Costa Ri
cans, and the entire track of their flight was
strewed with the wounded and dying. The
Costa Ricans lost six officers.
At last accounts President Mora had em
barked for Punta Arenas, the principal port
of Costa Rica, on the Gulf of Nicoya. Punta
Arenas has a good harbor and a rapidly in
creasing trade, as it communicates by an ex
cellent road with a great part of the interior.
In 1845 it exported 50.000 quintals of coffer.
It is said the cholera wa making great rav
ages among the natives and particularly with
Walker’s army, at Nicaragua.
Some of Walker’s people had taken the En
glish mail from Greytown, intended for Costa
Rica, which greatly incensed the people.
Os what Women are Made.
“ Os earthly goods, the beat is a good wife,
A bad, the bitterest curse of human life.”
Simonides, a poet famous in his generation,
who flourished about four hundred years after
the siege of Troy, tells us in a noted satire,
that the gods formed the s t.ls of women out
! of those seeds and principles which compost
several kinds of animals and elements; and
that their good and bad dispositions arise ir.
them according as such ami such seeds and
principles predominate in their constitutions.
He says:
“ The souls of onekindof women were form
ed out of those ingredients which compose a
swine. A woman of this make is a. sloven in
her house and a glutton at her table. A second
kind is oi the iox, foxy, and has an insight into
everything, good or bad; seme of this class
arc virtuous, and some vicious.
“ A third kind of women vi-re made up of
canine particles; these are scolds, always bark
ing and snarling, and live in perpetual clamor.
A fourth kind were made out of the earth. Such
are the sluggards, who pass their time in indo
lence and ignorance, hang over the fire a
whole winter, and apply themselves with alac
rity to no kind of business but eating.
“ The fifth species of females were made out
of the sea, and are of variable, uneven tern
perament, sometimes all storm and tempest,
sometimes all calm and sunshine. The sixth
species were made of such ingredients as com
pose an ass or beast of burden: these are nat
urally slothful and obstinate, but, upon the
husband exerting his authority, will live upon
’ hard fare, and do everything to please him.
the cat furnished materials for a seventh
; species of women, who are of melancholy, fro
wst'd, unaitnable nature, and so repugt int to
the offers oflove that they fly in the tree of
their husband when he approaches them with
conjugal endearments. This species of women 1
are likewise subject to little thefts, cheats, and
pilferings. The eighth species of females were
taken out of the ape. These are such as are
both ugly and ill-natured, who have nothing;
beautiful in themselves, and endeavor to de
tract from or ridicule everything which appears
so in others. “
“The mare with a flowing mane, which was
never broke to servile toil or labor, composed
a ninth species oi women. These arethey who 1
have little regard for then husbands; who i
pass away their time in dressing, bathing, and ‘
perfuming; who throw their hair into tho
nicest curls, and trick it upit. the fairest flow
eis and garlands. A woman of this species is
a very pretty thing for a stranger to look upon,
but very detrimental to the owner, unless it •
be a king or a prince who takes a fancy to such
a toy. ‘ j
i he tenth and last species of women were :
made out of the bee ; and happy is the man
who gets such a one for his wife. She is alto- I
gether faultless and unblamable. Her fa mi- !
ly flourishes and improves by her good man- 1
agement. She loves her husband and is be- j
loved by him. Sbe brings him a race of bean- j
tifui and virtuous children, she distinguishes i
herself among her sex. .Slu is surrounded :
with graces. She never sits among the loose j
tribe of women, nor passeshei time with them i
in want n discourses. She is lull of virtue !
and prudence, and is the best wife that Jupi
ter can bestow on man.”
A Negro’s Idea of Railroad Traveling.
The facility of railroad communication in
our day is very pointedly illustrated in an an- |
ec-dute before us, wherein a gentleman inquir- ;
ing of a negro the distance to a certain place
receives this reply: “Bat ’pends ou circum
stances. inassa. If you gwim afoot it’ll take
you about a day : ii yon gwire in de stage or
the honeybus, you make it in half a day; but
if you get in one of dose smoke wagons, vou !
