THE WORTH OF WOMAN.
FROM THE GERMAN OF SCHILLER.
Honored be woman ! she beams on the sight,
Graceful and fair, like a being of 1 ght;
Scatters around her wherever she strays,
Roses of bliss on our th 'rn-covered ways;
Roses of Paradise sent from above,
To be gathered and twined in a garland of Love.
Man, on passion’s stormy ocean,
Tossed by surges mountain high,
Courts the hurricane’s commotion.
Spurns at reason’s feeble cry.
Loud the tempest roars around him,
Loader still it roars within,
Flashing lights of hope confound him,
Stuns with life’s incessant din.
Woman invites him with bliss in her smile,
To cease from his toil and be h*ppy a while;
Whispering wooinelj—come to my bower—
Go not in search of the phantom of power—
Honor and wealth are illusory—come !
Happiness dwells in the temples of home.
Man, with fury stern and savage,
Persecutes his brother man,
Reckless if he bless or ravage,
Action, action —still his plan.
Now creating, now destroying,
Ceaseless wishes tear his breast;
Ever seeking—ne’er enjoying;
Still to be, but never blest.
Woman, contented in silent repose,
Enj >ys in its beauty life’s flower as it blows,
And waters and tends it with innocent heart,
Far richer than man with his treasures of art;
And wiser by far in the circles confined,
Than he with hi- silence and lightsoi the mind.
Coldly to himself sufficing,
Man disdains the gentler arts,
Knoweth not the bliss arising
From the interchange of hearls.
Slowly through his bosom stealing,
Flows the genial current on.
Till by age’s frost congealing,
It is hardened into stone.
She like the harp that instinctively ri! gs,
As the night-breathing zephyr soft sighson the strings,
Responds to each impulse with steady reply,
Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympa'hy try ;
And tear drops and “miles on her countenance play,
Like sun Line and showers of a morning in May.
Through *he range of man’s dominion,
Terror is the ruling word—
• And the standard o opinion
Is the temper of the sword.
Strife exults, and pity Hushing,
From the scene departing flies,
Where the battle madly rushing,
Brother upon brother dies.
Woman commands with a milder control—
She rules by enchantment he realms of the soul;
As she glances around in the light of her smile,
The war of the passions is hushed for awhile,
And discord, cont> nt from hi - fury to cease,
Reposes entranced on the pillows of peace.
Taxation in England.
The Revenue Returns of Great Britain exhibit a
singular anomaly in legislation, and demonstrate
tinTinequalities of taxation, especially in reference
to the poorer classes of people.
Property with ns in the United States, bears the
burden of taxation, and contributes mainly t« the
support, of the Slate Governments; while, with our
trans-Atlantic friends, the poor man contributes
disproportionately to the government revenues,
although his labor is not so liberally compensated
as it is here. The heads of taxation in Great Brit
ain, which draw so heavily upon the poorer class
es, are Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Molasses, Tobacco, and
Malt. We condense the Tabic of Annual Reve
nues for the year ending September 5, 1852, with
the various subjects of taxation for that period:—
Malt £5,035,000
Hops -. 420,000
Sugar and Molasses .... 4,159,000
Tea 5,900,000
Coffee 404,000
Tobacco and Snuff 4,456,000
Soap 1,043,000
Spirits 8,551,00 ft
Wins 1,776,000
Corn * 504,900
Paper 934,000
Excise and other Licences 1,907,000
Timber, Currants, Silks, Ac 2,452,504-
Total Customs and Excise £37,597,500
Stamps 6,529,000
Land Tax £1,142,900
Window Tax 1,044,800
Other assessed Taxes 1,702,200
Property and Income Tax 5,440,300
Post Office 2,422,100
Crown Lands 858,000
Other ordinary revenue 702,911
Total revenue for the year £56,834,711
It will thus be seen that the articles which enter
■o generally into consumption among the laboring
classes, pay over £21,000,000 sterling, or fully
thirty-eight per cent, of the aggregate revenue of
the United Kingdom. Malt liquors form the pro
minent beverage of the poorer classes, and al
though tobacco has been heretofore enumerated
among the luxuries of the people of Europe, yet it
ia essentially, among the English, an article of con
sumption among their poor. The London Quar
terly remarks; —“It is curious to observe how very
largely the Revenue of Great Britain depends on
what goes into the month. * * * The duties
of between thirty and thirty-one millions are levied
upon articles of universal consumption in England.
Ail but a mere fraction of this may be in some sort
regarded as voluntary taxation, so far as the con
sumers are concerned.”
But the most strking feature, to us, of the whole
exhibit, is the severe taxation upon one article of
American manufacture, to the extent of £4,466,000
or $22,300,000 annually. Instead of taxing the
real and personal property of the Kingdom and
the individual income to such an extent as will
over largely, the expenditures of the nation, those
articles are taxed heavily which enter into the daily
consumption of the lower classes.
Free trade has been the favorite principle of a
leading party in Great Britain, and it is urged
strongTy in some quarters in our own country. It
it is a beautiful theory on paper, and might be
urged for our adoption when other countries re
move their enormous taxes upon American pro
ducts. But as long as Tobacco is subject to a
duty of twenty-one millions sterling, and Sugar
and Mo!a os an equal amount, among a people
whose entire products, imported into the United
States, pay ouly fifteen to eighteen millions of
dollars duty annually, it would be well for the
friends of free trade to defer to advocacy of this
doctrine.
The “London Quarterly” has, in a few words,
clearly defined Fro©Trade, viz:—“lt is in its very j
essence a mercenary, unsocial demoralizing s\s- !
tern, oppose 1 to all generous actions, ail kindly I
feelings. Based on selfishness—the most perva
ding as well as the most powerful of our vicious
propensities—it directs that impulse into the low
est of all channels, the mere sordid pursuit of
wealth. It teaches competition and isolation, in
stead of co-operation and brotherhood; it sub
stitutes a vague and impracticable Cosmopolitism,
for a lofty and onobliug patriotism; it disregards
the claims of humanity towards the poor, if op
posed to the pecuniary interests ot the riches ; it
takes no account of all that should exalt man in
t’ne scale of being, but elevates to exclusive im
portance his most degrading tendencies. Wealth
wit* end and aim, and mammon its divinity.”
In advocating Domestic Manufactures Adam
Smith further illustrates the impolicy of Free Trade
—a sy«teni comparatively unknown in his time.
“ The entire 'price or value of every home made
article constitutes net revenue, ntt income to British
subjects. Rot a portion of the value , hut the whole
value ts resolvable into vet income and revenue,
maintaining British families, and creating or sus
taining British markets Perchance B- itish articles
with British articles, and you create two such ag
gregate values ; whereas, on the contrary, the entire
value of every foreign article imported is net income
to the foreigner, and created and sustains foreign
Markets at the expense of the domestic market.
By substituting “American” for “British” in the
above quotation, the American legislator can ap
ply the principle to our own markets and our own
people. It would be difficult to embody views,
fu consonance with the American system, in lan
guage more terse or more clear than that used in
the above extract from Adam Smith, and wc cor
dially commend it to the consideration and adop
tion of the American people, and their representa
tives in Congress. —Courier and Enquirer.
Filling Teeth over Exposed Nerves.—Dr. S.
P. Hnlliben, of Wheeling, Va., bps discovered a
method whereby the cavities of teeth over exposed
nerves may be successfully plugged up. It is this.
The diseased parts of the tooth are removed to
make it apparent that the nerve is exposed. The
fan ; is perforated through the gum into the nerve
cavity. The opening should be about the size of a
small knitting needle; its object is to open the
blood vessels of the nerve, which will at once bo
known by the flow of arterial blood. The cavity
of the tooth may then be filled without the least
fear of pain or ill consequences. This plan has
been successfully practiced in a great number of
cases, ilitherto a tooth having an exposed nerve
could not be filled and prevent pain and toothache.

Texas Items.
The mail from El Paso arrived at San Antonio
on the 29ch nit. The Texan has the following
items of intelligence:
The Indians continue as troublesome as ever.
But a short time since they stole seventeen Go
vernment animals from Fort Webster, at the cop
per mines,
A party of six Indians were met at the Pecos.—
They met the mail train under a flag of truce. —
They stated that they were on their way to Presi
dio to trade; to steal, they doubtless meant. It
was generally believed they were part of the same
band that attacked Capt. Wallace on Ins way out.
One of the chiefs was dressed in full regimentals. ;
Their animals were all fresh.
Commissioner Bartlett left El Paso on the 10th
for the lower Rio Grande byway of Chihuahua,
under an escort furnished him by Col, Van Am
burg, the Mexican military commander.
Mr. McManus’s merchandise, byway of Santa
Fe, after passing through the customhouse at Ei
Paso, paying all the duties required, (six and a
halt cents per vara,) and receiving the proper pa
pers, was seized on reaching Chihuahua, by order
of the military commander. His were all foreign
goods.
Tiie goods taken out by this route by Miller and
Almeuderes had passed through the customhouse
in the same way, under protect, by order of Gen.
Conde, the military commander.
The parties are taking the necessary steps to lay
the matter before our Government, through the
American Consul.
The authorities in Corpus Christi have prohibit
ed the carrying of arms in places of public amuse
ment, and also provide that no dogs shall be al
lowed to run at large without being muzzled.
The Trinity Advocate mentions that a severe
hall storm visited the town of Palestine on the 27th
ult. The ground was covered with hail stones,
and many of them were as large as a hen’s egg.—
The cotton fields in the vicinity were somewhat
injured.
The Houston Telegraph, speaking of the cotton
crop,says;
We visited Austin and Washington counties a
few' days since, and wore surprised to notice the
quantity of cotton still whitening the fields, and
which, w r e were informed, could not be picked out
for want of hands. Most of the planters have
raised much more cotton than they can possibly
gather, and they are offering enormous wages for
hands to pick it out. We are informed that some
planters had offered a dollar and a half and two
dollars per day for good hands to pick the cotton,
and few could be obtained at these rates. A con
siderable quantity of cotton was destroyed in the
fields by the late severe storm ; but it caused no
uneasiness. An intelligent planter stated that it
would be better for the planters if all the cotton
now’ in the fields were destroyed.

Interesting Discoveries in Persia.
We have had the plear-mre of listening to a letter
written in Persia to a gentleman in Boston, which
gives an account of some recent and interesting
discoveries in that country. The writer is a scien
tific gentleman of the highest standing, an Ameri- 1
can,"and one whose position in Persia is a pledge j
of the correctness of his details.
The line between Persia and Turkey has not
been defined with that exactness which peace and
security demand; and soldiers have, by both Go
vernments, been placed upon the disputed territo
ry to defend the rights of Turkey and Persia.—
And for many years the soldiers have been in
the practice of coming into collision. To avoid
this bloodshed, and settle definitely the boundary
line between the nations, England and Russia
J have induced Persia to consent to a mixed com
? mission, which: should embrace England, Russia, \
j and Persia. Tiiat commission is now engaged in ’
j establishing the line between Persia and Turkey.
Col. Williams, well known to many Americans,
I and a man of character andAalent, is the English
! commissioner.
In the prosecution of this work the commission
; ers have come upon the remains of the ancient
palace Shusan, mentioned in the sacred books of
E-ther and Daniel, together with the tomb of
Daniel the Prophet. The locality answers to the
received tradition of its position, and the internal
evidence, arising from its correspondence with
the description of the palace recorded in the
sacred history, amount almost to demonstration.
The reader can turn to Esther, ch. i, v. 6. There
he will read of a “ pavement of red, and blue, and
white, and black marble in that palace.” That
pavement still exists, and, as described by Col.
Williams, corresponds to the description given
thus in the sacred history. And in the marble
columns, dilapidated ruins, the sculpture, and the
remaining marks of greatness and glory that are
scattered around, the commissioners read the exact
truth of the record made by the sacred penman.
Not far from the palace stands a tomb; on it is
scalptuied the figure of a man bound hand and
foot, with a huge lion in the act of springing upon
him to devour him. No history could speak more
graphically the story of Daniel in the lion’s den.
, “ The commissioners have with them an able
corps of engineers and scientific men, and most in
teresting discoveries may be expected. The
Persian arr«w-heads are found upon the palace and
1 the tomb. Glass bottles, elegant as those placed
upon the toilet table of the lattice of our day, have
been discovered, with other indications of art and
I refinement, which bear out the statements of the
• ! Bible. Thus twenty-five hundred years after the
I historians of Esther and Daniel made their records
• i their histories are verified by 7 the peaceful move
’ j meats of the nations of our day. —Boston Chronicle.
The Mormons and their Missions.
The progress made, and making, by this singu
lar sect is really extraordinary. It is truly won
cierful—there is nothing resembling it in the
chronicles of the present or past cont ury, that now
recurs to our mind, la the fanaticisms of the
past there was nothing practical, nothing calcula
ted to develop the resources of a country', to add
i to the general wealth and prosperity, to contribute
> to the storehouse of a nation’s agricultural or man-
I ufacturing grcatnes.s Downright fanaticism ruled
every thing—practical results were counted as uo
- thing—and mere theories, in the hands of enthu
• siasts, ruling for the moment, crushed, blasted
and prostrated, the prospect and happiness of mil
i lions. Not so, however, with the Mormons. Al
t’ though fanatics of the most odious and repulsive
> description, morally, still they have proved them
-1 selvesgood agriculturists, first rate mechanics and
builders, enterprising manufacturers and wherever
they have set tled, or even a portion of them, they
have left marks of improvement. Look at Nau
voo for instance, whence they were expelled. Lock
at the City of the Salt Lake, now their headquar
ters, audit will be seen that they improve the
surface ftf the earth, notwithstanding the degra
ding tendency of their spiritual doctrines.
We have been led into these remarks by look
ing over the printed proceedings ot the Mormon
Conference, held in the Tabernacle, at Salt Lake,
on the 28th of August last. A largo number of
missionaries were appointed to visit various quar
ters of the globe. Faithful to the duties im
posed by their church, most of them immedi
ately departed for their respective locations. The
appointees go abroad, some for three, others for
seven years, during which time they are ti» lay
aside worldly interests, forget wives, children, anil
friends, and devote themselves to the propaga’iou
i of their doctrine and the making of converts.
They go without “purse or scrip,” or hope of pro
i spective pecuniary reward. Fanaticism of any
kind never exhibited greater disinterestedness, or
devotion, This fact all will admit.—A 7 . O. Bulletin.

sent to the respective places named :

What Whiskey is Good For.—The Lynchburg
Express States that two sons of the lata Hezekiah
Fuqua, of Bedford, (near Liberty, in Virginia,) to
gether with a little negro, a few days since, w'ero
severely bitten by a snake. Thip lads went out
hunting, and having started a rabbit, ran him into
a hollow log, when one of the boyi put his hand in
to haul him out. Very soon he fob, something bite,\
or as he thought the scratch of the hare. His l
brother tried with a like sensation, so he declined
repeating the operation. Then little Cuff (bruve
as Caesar) tries it with like success. In a few mo
ments the hands of the parties commenced swel
ling at an alarming rate, when medical aid was im
mediately procured. The physician dosed them
with liquor, until the patients became thoroughly
intoxicated, and after recovering f rom the effects
of the medicine, the swelling subsided, and we are
happy to hear the trio are now convalescent. The
log was split open, and to the surprise of all, a
large coppeihesd snake exhibited himself in all his
native ferocity.
The use whiskey as a cure for the bite of a snake,
we understand, was practically tested in this coun
ty a few weeks since. A negro man, belonging to
Col. David Gibson, of this vicinity, was bitten by
a copper snake, and in the course of half an hour 1
drank about a quart as whiskey, and was relieved 1
from the effects resulting from the bite. —Romney <

Mr. Everett.
The appointment of Mr. Everett as Secretary of
State, seems to have been universally approved
by the intelligent and patriotic of all parties, and
to have imparted a high degree of confidence
among all classes in the sound discretion and pru
dence of the Administration. The St. Louis In
telligencer, alluding to the appointment, justly re
marks :
Mr. Fillmore has in no way shown his admira
ble judgment more than in the selection of his
Cabinet advisers. No man will ever forget the in
stant confidence and sense of security which the
appointment of Mr. Webster diffused throughout
the whole country at a very critical period. The
appointment of Mr. Everett is one which will give
the highest satisfaction to the Whig party, and of
which even Democrats can fay no word of dispar
agement. As a profound and elegant scholar, an
accomplished diplomatist, experienced in politi
cal affairs, and a ready, persuasive ana finished
orator, Mr. Everett is equally distinguished.

Corruption In Washington.
Mr. Benton, who has recently been elected to
the House of Representatives from 6t. Louis, after
serving as a United States Senator of Missouri for
: a quarter of a century, has made a speeeh in the
West which contains some important warnings.
| Mr. Benton, says the Baltimore American, is an ex
perienced, well-informed, and most partinacious
politician. His honor, we believe, is unimpeacha
ble; and what he says,'therefore, after his ample
opportunities of knowing the movements of
jobbers in Washington, should be mindfully
| heeded:
j “ Nothing,” (be says) “but a rigorous Congres
-1 sional inquiry, would" explore the reports on this
| subject; exposing them if false—establishing them
, if true—and carrying the censure to individuals
i which now applies to the body. 1 should move
such an inquiry on the first day next session, if a
member. Nothing but rigorous investigation can
explore that depth. Jobs of various kinds arc
legislated to applicants, and often at the price
! which the jobbers themselves fix. Great purchases
i are made of books, often to be sold on the spot for
i a little money. Printing contracts are made by
j law, often to be broken against law, and a douceur
I of $50,000 sometimes granted to the breaker, or a
j new and better contract. Documents are printed
' by the hundred thousand volumes, not by book
printers, who would do it cheap and well, (if
needed,) but by editors of newspapers, and to
make fortunes for favorites. More than ten thousand
claims are now registered in a printed document,
some of them no doubt good ; but the good with
little chance of passing, because the parties are too
poor, or too proud, or too honest, to purchase
justice from the agents who guard the avenues to
Congress relief legislation.
“The root of all this vicious legislation, and the
opprobium of our Government, is a new power
which has grown up at Washington ! and which
performs for legislation pretty much the same favor
which caucuses and conventions perform for elec
tions : that is, takes it out of the hands of self
constituted managers. These are the class of
agents, now multiplied to scores, and orgrnized
into a body, and supplied with all the means of
conciliating members, and combining interests.
These guard the halls of legislation, and create
interests strong enough to carry through bad
measures, and embargo the good, unless they will
consent to lend a helping hand to the bad.
“ It was the view of such proceedings as these
which induced the Representative from North
| Carolina, Mr. Venable, to say in a public speech at
Richmond, Va., that “ with money enough any bill
i might be carried through Congress.”
If these charges of flagrant baseness are true, it
! is time that a through investigation should prove
; the fact to the people. If they are false, the scan
; del should not be allowed to remain unrebuked in
the most emphatic manner. Mr. Benton, however,
rarely makes assertions which he is unprepared to
sustain.
New Orleans and Jackson Railroad, —The
j Jackson Flag, of the 17th inst, says:—The location
j of this road is rapidly progressing. The Chief-
I Engineer, Mr. Clark, who is now engaged in the
I location of the road South of this place, was in this
city, last week, and informed us that a corps of
engineers were actively engaged in surveying the
road from the Louisiana line, in the direction of
this city, Mr. Clark assures us that he will com
plete the location of the road, south of this place,
by the middle of January, when it will immediate
ly bo put under contract lor grading. It is truly
gratifying to the friends of this groat work to see
it so rapidly progressing. Mr. Clark, is from al,
accounts an experienced and competent et»: neer
and will not fail to give general satisfaction) to all
interested in the location of the road.
Wo are informed that Mr. Clark, in company
with Mr. Hector, the chief-engineer of the Canton
and Jackson inspected the work on that
route, and spoke in terms of high commendation
of its progross and management.
His report to the New Orleans Company, will no
doubt complete the arrangements necessary tor the
merger of the former company. We confidently
expect to see, in loss time than two years, our city
connected by railroad with the great metropolis of
the South.
In an article relating to the Metropolitan Hotel,
Now York, the Incloside says:—“ In the matter of
prices, few pay less than $25 per week ; and one
foreign emmissary, who has taken rooms for the
season, is paying at the rate of SBO per day, be
sides a very liberal extra expenditure for the very
choicest of antique wines. One gentleman pays
SSO per week. The bills of others amount to S2OO,
$250, and SBOO per week. The bridal chamber is
constantly occupied at the rate of S2O per day.” It
is also stated that “ more people are turned away
than are received”—and that “ rooms arc taken by
letter and by telegraph for weeks in advance.”
Composition of the Moon. —Every object on its
surface of the height of one hundred feet is dia

masses of stenes almost innumerable. But there
arc no signs of habitations such as ours, no vestige
of architectural remains, to show that the mooii is
or ever was inhabited by a race of mortals similar
to ourselves. No water is visible, no sob, no river,
all seems desolate.

The following letter from Captain Marey to the
Aon. E. W. Johnson, of Arkansas, is publish in
the Little Bock True Democrat, it gives some in
teresting particulars relative to a region heretofore
but little known:
New York, Sept. 25th, 1852.—Dear Sir:—Not
withstanding the many and contradictory rumors
concerning my massacre by the Indians, I have at
last reached tne civilized world safe and sound.
As you took such a kind interest in ray success
previous to my departure from Washington, I have
no doubt you will be gratified to learn that I made
a very fortunate, and, 1 think, satisfactory expedi
tion, accomplishing all and more than was required
by my instructions.
I ascended all the principal branches of Red
River to their sources, and made a careful examin
ation of the country bordering upon them all. I
made extensive collections of minerals, plants, ani
mals, etc., etc., and am provided with data for a
perfectly accurate map of all the country passed
over.
There is a large district of country bordering upon
Upper Red River, which has hitherto been wholly
unknown, and which is as fine an agricultural
country as can be found. The soil is of the best
quality, the timber abundant, and it is well water
ed. It is a mountainous district, and the atmos
phere is pure and bracing.
This country possesses such natural advantages
that it must eventually settle, and it will find its
natual outlet through the Arkansas river.
I also found an abundance of capper ores, which
I have not yet had analyzed, but I tnink them very
rich, 1 will give you my views upon the subject
when I see you next winter, in Washington.
There are three principal branches to Red River,
above the point where I commenced my explora
tion. The North branch rises in longitude
about twenty-five miles from the Canadian. The
South and principal branch extends eighty miles
farther West. Upon the North branch the country
ontinues good to within a hundred miles of its
source, but upon the other branches the country
is generally poor.
Please accept my warmest thanks for your efforts
in my behalf while at Washington, last winter,
and believe me, very sincerely your friend.
R. B. Marcy.

Artesian Wells.
A correspondent asks us what is the principle of
the Arlesian wells. He says that he often roads of
boring for water through soldid rock, but cannot
understand by what agency the water, when reach
ed, is forced to the surface.
Has our correspondent ever passed through a
railroad cutting? If so, he has probably noticed that
the rock does not lie horizontally, but at an angle;
in other words, it dips more or less, to use a term
of the geologist. Now a strata of rock will some
times extend for scores, even hundreds of miles,
dipping in this way, before it finally turns again,
and re-appears at the surface, even when it does
so turn, which is not always. Sush a strata forms
a large dish, as it were. If our correspondent will
imagine a region of country, lying within such a
strata, and if he will further imagine this district
to be so rocky that water will not collect in it, but
run off—in this ease ne will have all the ingredients
for a country of Artesian wells, provided there is
the additional circumstance, that outside this stra
ta, or, to carry out the simile, under the dish, the
soil is gravelly, or sandy. For, in such a case,
water from rains will sink into the ground, and
pass under the strata, there it will remain until the
rock is bored through, when it will rise of course
to the surface. This is what an Artesian well is.
Any person may make an artificial Artesian well,
on a small scale, by taking a common tin hand ba
sin, and inserting in it a bed of earth, which is it
self contained in a larger vessel,then,pouring water
upon the earth between the basin and the vessel
in which it is placed, and, when the earth is com
pletely saturated, perforating the bottom of the ba
sin, for, in this event, the water will rise in a jet to
the top of the basin, or the level of the earth. In
this rude experiment, the tin, of which the basin
is made, roughly represents one strata of rock, and
the larger vessel another strata, while the earthy
matter stands for the gravel, sand, or pervious
rock, between the two stratas. It will be seen that
the same principle raises the water to the surface,
in the case of uu Artesian well, as elevates the wa
ter in our bouses ; the preasnre of water itself be
ing the motive power; in the one case there is a
bed of soil, between the strata of rocks which
forms a natural conduit, and in another there are
artificial pipes.
To our scientific readers, this explanation of what
is so familiar to them,may appear scarcely called for.
But our correspondent is not singular in his igno
rance. We have frequently heard otherwise intel
ligent persons ask what an Artesian well was. In
fact, if persons more generally understood the
principles of) such wells, we should have less of
fruitless to here for water, because it

Nicaragua and the Transit Company.— The Go

has forfeited its charter, in consequence of not

transit as required by its charter. The Nicaragua
Minister had entered his protest against the bad

Opinions of the Press.
Southern Cultivator. —After all the fuss made
over others, this work seems destined to hold,
as it has long since taken, the lead of all southern
agricultural publications. Good reason for it, too:
1 it contains a very large amount of most important
information for the farmer, in relation to his every
day business as a science. Every department ha?
its fall modicum of attention, and that ably be
stowed. The January No. commences the eleventh
volume, and offers a most opportune occa
sion for subscribing. Thirty-two large handsome

, of this work. Its character is known and appre
• dated throughout Georgia, and in many portion?
of the Southern States. Suffice it to say, that every

The Cherokee National Gounoil.—The Nation
al Council of the Cherokee Nation recently assem
bled, when John Ross, the principle chief, sent
his annual message. It is an able and patriotic
document. Ho congratulates the council upon the
general harmony and unusual prosperity of the
herok«o Nation; recommends provision for the
payment of the public debt; appropriations to
■ public schools ; the founding of a national library ;
encouragement to agricultural instruction; liberal
salaries to the judges, in order to secure «n en
lightened and independent judiciary, finally ajudi
cious development of the manifold social, intellec
tual and political privileges they are permitted to
enjoy, and by which the Cherokees have made won
derful progress in he pursuits and knowledge of
civilized life. The Now Orleans Bulletin, in refer
ring to this message, asks, “how long will it be
before a star glitters on our national banner, indi
cative of the admission into the Union of the State
of Cherokee? Such a thing is far from improva
ble.”
Large Immigration.—The ferry boat yesterday
brought to the city, from Quarantine, nearly seven
hundred German immigrants, being a larger num
ber than had before bo4n brought to the city at any
one time. There were a few natives of England
and Scotland among them. From all accounts, the
Fall emigration now setting in from Europe will
bo immense. Within the past three or four days
some ten ships arrived at the port of New Orleans,
nearly all of which carried German, English and
Irish mmigrants, destamed for this and othorWes
tern States.
Mr. Richard, the German agent in this citv, in
forms Dr. Coleman, of the Board of Health, that he
has reliable advices which give the number who
have been registered at Bremen and other German
seaports, for transportation to New Orleans, at be
tween thirty-five and forty-thousand. The great
er part of this number will arrive in this and the
coming mouth. Dr. Leavenworth, of Quarantine,
has in formation that there are at this time nearly
three thousand German immigrants in New Or
leans who are looking about for the means to reach
this city. For two weeks past, scarcely a boat has
arrived at our port for the South, whoso decks
were not filled with this class of emigrants.— Hl.
T jOuis Republican.
The Mississippi.—De Bow’s “Review” for the
present month reiterates the appeals often urged
i upon Congress for grants to carry out enlarged
improvements at the mouth of the Mississippi.—
’ Three plans have been presented aud discussed at
i different periods for the accomplishment of the ob-
I joct. One is to deepen by dredging-machines two
■ of the principal passes, a* an estimated cost of
j $370,0u0 with a subsequent annual expenditure of
$72,000. Another, to close all but one of the pass
es where they leave the river trunk, estimated
cost $527,000. The third, to cut a ship canal from
a point below Fort Jackson to the gulf, costing,
including all contingencies, $10,000,000. Con
sidering the immense commerce of this great in
land sea, any of these amounts is insignificant in
comparison with the end to be accomplished. De
Bow publishes a diagram representing the ap
pearance of the bar in May last, when property
valued at $1,500,000 was detained. It is compu
ted that the losses from detention alone would in
a single year pay for almost the entire improve
ment. The Review remarks: *
. “ Upon the single item of freights alone it is es
timated that the use of smaller vessels to which
the shallowness ot water is driving the commerce
of the West, instead of those of largest size and
capacity, will be attended with a loss of $2 per
bale, or $2,800,000 annually upon the cotton crop ;
—and equally as much, perhaps, upon the total of
other articles of export. In all about $5,000,000

Tributeii of Respect.
ii At a called meeting of the Few Society, Emory
College, a committee was appointed to draft Resolutions
3 expressive of our feelings at the death of ROBERT A.
BEALL, who died Sept. 80th, 1862.
The undersigned subsequently reported as follows:
The grave, we know, is the destiny of all; and Death
r i stops not to note the Lloom of youth, or the wrinkle of age
r i when he seeks his victim. The night—the long moonlesa
n * night comes, and the infant sleeps with its aged sire.—
- ! When the old die we mourn their loss ; yet not as thosa
3 | whose hopes are blighted : but when the gifted, promising
youth, already bound to ns by every tie, which friendship
owns or brotherhood claims, is snatchsd away, ere we have
tasted the germinating fruit, which three score years
' might have ripened into a golden harvest; we behold, with
awe and wonder, the inscrutable ways of an All wise
’ Providence, and weep with that bitterness of anguish and
depth of sorrow, which none can know but those who feel,
v, hat wonder, then, that our hearts were filled with sad
-1 ness and our eyes with weeping when the heart-rending
r news was told that our fellow-member, friend and brother
7 had been summoned to his long home, and the tender rela
tions, which bound ns together, and the rising hope*
which warmed our bosoms were destroyed forever. He is
gone, ere the Dloom of youth had fallen ; and the wreath,
* which fame had twined for his brow, now lies withered and
, neglected. The eye, a short time since beaming with in
-5 t diligence, and the brow, formed for future laurels, now
) moulder in the tomb. Yet his name and virtues shall long
3 linger about our hearts ; and fond memory will often call
■ up the sigh of sorrow and ;he tear of sympathy, mingled
j with regret that one so young, so amiable and lovely
should be called to die : And, as a faint testimonial of his
noble character, of our grid at his loss, and sympathy for
those who most deeply feel this sad bereavement:—
* Be it Resolved, That in the death of R. A. BEALL our
society has sustained a loss, which we most keenly feel, and
f truly mourn.
- i Resolved, That we do sincerely and heartily sympathize
} with his friends and relatives, whom death has so cruelly
robbed; and with them, tes will weep over this sad be
’ reavement, and long in memory, cherish the virtues of one,
3 whom all might love and none could hate.
Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the
Southern Christian Advocate, Christian Telegraph, and.
Weekly Chroicle A Sentinel, and that a copy of the same
be transmitted to the family of the deceased.
Resolved, That these Resolutions be deposited in the ar
chives of the Society.

Phi Gamma Hall, Oxford, Ga., Nov., 1552,
As it has again been the will of Providence to remove
from our midst another one of our associates and fellow
students, we, the members of the Phi Gamma Society,
deem it right to join our bereaved sister Society in draw
ing up some Resolutions as t tribute of respect to the mem
ory of ROBT. A. BEALL.
This is the fourth time during the prt sent year, we have
been grieved at a similar loss of our young companions
and warned by their death of the great importance of be
ing prepared, at all times, to meet our God in peace. K.
A. BEALL, who at midday, healthy and vigorous, seemed
to bid fair to live a long time, suddenly and unexpectedly
felt the keen pangs of death, and ere the close of day he
shut his eyes for the last time on all earthly things. We
see that not only the aged and venerable fall victims to the
mighty arm of Death; but also the young, gay and prom
ising. “ Therefore be ye also ready; for in such ar hour
as ye think net the son of man cometh.”
He, although young,has paid the debt incumbent upon
all, and now rests quietly in the cold and silent grave.—
Peace be to thee, and comfort to those, who lament thy
fate! Such is the tendency of all and such is the will of
an All-wise God. Therefore
Ist. Resolxed, That in the death or R. A. BEALL, we
are deprived of a warm and generous-hearted companion;
mory Lohege of a promising and talented young man,
an< )H aiU an °k e( iient son and affectionate brother.
2d. Resolved, That we do sincerely tender our warmest
sympathies to the bereaved family, relatives and friends.
•d. Resolved, That we Lave a fellow-feeling with our be
reaved sister Society, in lamenting the loss of one of her
promising members.
4th. Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent
