f HUcd Blood or the Americans.
In another column the reader will find an in
teresting sketch of one of Dr. Scott's Lectures,
Recently delivered in New Orleans, which we
Lopv from an eicellent paper of that city, “ The
Weekly Crescent.”
| An ancient author, Cicero, if we mistake not,
L s sW ted that literature, polite arts, religion,
Ivriculture, laws, and social rights, originated in
kthens and were thence distributed over all
nations The fertility of the soil, the excellence
Ls ,he climate, the freedom of the government,
hnd the enterprising spirit of the people, must
liave co-operated in producing this transcendent
hind pre-eminent state of human exaltation.
And if a comparison was instituted in those res
>ects between that country and ours, in what
mportant part should we be deficient ? We are,
perhaps, more favored in another point of view.
Attica was peopled from Egypt, but we can
joast of our descent from a superior stock. VVe
ipeak not of families or dynasties; we refer to
»ur origin from those nations where civilization,
knowledge, and refinement have erected their
empire, and where human nature has attained
its greatest perfection. Annihilate Holland,
Great Britain, Ireland, France and Germany,
and what would become of civilized man?
This country, young as it is, would bo the great
Atlas remaining to support the dignity of the
world ;—and perhaps our mingled descent from
various nations inay have a benign influence
upon genius. VVe perceive the improving effects
of an analogous state upon vegetables and infe
rior animals. The extraordinary characters
which the United States have produced, may be,
in some measure, ascribed to the mixed blood of
Eo many nations flowing in our veins ; and it
lay be confidently predicted, that the operation
of causes, acting with irresistible effect, will
carry, in thiscountry, all the improvaeable facul
ties of human nature to the highest state of
perfection.
tA Contrast. —ln the course of the late
peech in England, on his scheme of financial
-»eform, Mr. Cobden made the following master
ly contrast:
“Take the case of the United States. America
bas three times within the last ten years been in
Collision with the two greatest powers of the
world, twice with England and once with
France. We had the Maine boundary and the
Oregon territory to settle with the United States,
ind America had her quarrel with France, aris
ng out of a claim for compensation of £1,000,-
K)0, which the French government refused to
pay. What was the issue of these controver
sies ? When the claim was refused by France,
General Jackson, at the head of the American
Government, published his proclamation, that if
Ihe money was not paid forthwith, lie would
,-iieze French ships and pay himself. At that
lime (I have it from Americans) the French
. had three times the force of ships-of-war that
America had ; Admiral Mackau was in the Gulf
> ot Florida with a fleet large enough to ravage
> the whole coast ot America and bombard her
i towns ; but did France rush into war with Ame
jß'ica ? She paid the money. Why?—Because
||*he knew well if she provoked an unjust war
Swilli tile United States, her mem-of-war were
■nothing compared with the force that would
Hiwarm out of every American port when brought
• into collision with another country. France
■knew that America had the largest mercantile
■ jnarine, and thought at first the battle might be
jthe strongest in an armed fleet, in the end of it
Vvould be to that country which had the greatest
.4|niount of public spirit and the greatest number
~«f mercantile ships and sailors.
B What was the case with England? In 1845
JBy ere was a bilk °f war with America, on ac
count of Oregon. Bear it in mind that Ameri
«a never spent more than £1,200,000 on her
■ »«vy. YV'e are spending this year £7,000,000 or
a88,000,000, but will anybody tell me that A me
tric 3 fared worse in that dispute, because her re
sources in ships-of-war were far inferior to ours?
■°, but we increased our navy and we had a
•Jquadroß of evolution as it was called. Atneri
never mounted a gun at New York to prevent
U le bombardment of the city; but she did far
worse? We sent a peer of the realm (Lord
Ashberton ) to Washington ; it was on Ameri
■can soil that the quarrel was adjusted, and ru
■or does say that America made a very good
l«»rgain. [Cheers.] It is the spirit of the peo
ple, the growing strength of the people and the
jietermination of the people that command re
iptet. [Cheers.] Now what I want you as a
lation to do is, to believe that other countries
fill take just the of us that we
ook of America They won’t come and at
ack us merely beeause we reduce our arma
nents to $10,000,000. On the contrary, other
lountries, I believe will follow examples.

The Effect of Charcoal on Flowers.
The following extract cannot fail to be interest
ing to the botanist and the chemist, as well as to
every lady who has a rose-bush in her garden,
or a flower-pot in her parlor. It is from the Pa
ris “Horticultural Review” of July last, trans
lated by Judge Meigs, of New York, for the
Farmers’ Club of the American Institue The
experiments described were made by Robert
Berauds, who says:
“ About a year ago I made a bargain for a rose
bush, of magnificent growth and full of buds. I
waited for them to biow, and expected roses
worthy of such a noble plant, and of the praises
bestowed upon it by the vender.—At length,
when it bloomed, all tny hopes were blasted.
The flowers were of a faded color, and I discov
ered that I had only a middling multiflora, stale
colored enough. I therefore resolved to sacri
fice it to some experiments which I had in view.
My attention had been captivated with the ef
fects of charcoal as stated in some English pub
lications. I then covered the earth in the pot,
in which my rose-bush was, about half an inch
deep with pulverized charcoal! Some days af
ter 1 was astonished to see the roses, which
bloomed, of as fine lively rose color as I could
wish! I determined to repeat the experiment;
and therefore, when the rose-bush had done
flowering, I took off all the charcoal and put
fresh earth about the roots. You may conceive
that I waited for the next spring impatiently, to
see the result of this experiment. YVlien it
bloomed the roses were, as at first, pale and dis
colored ; but, by applying the charcoal as before,
the roses soon resumed their rosy red color. I
tried the powdered charcoal likewise in large
quantiles upon my petunias, and found that both
the white and the violet flowers were equally
sensible to its action. It always gave great vig
or to the red or violet colors of the flowers, and
the white petunias became veined with red or
violet tints; the violets became covered with ir
regular spots of a bluish or almost black tint.
Many persons who admired them thought that
they were new varieties from the seed. Yellow
flowers are ( as I have proved ) insensible to the
influence of the charcoal.’’
“11l betide the yellow flowers;" it seems
they are equally incapable of change, under the
influences of charcoal, or of the man without
poetry ip his temperament. Wordsworth tells
us •
“ A primrose by the river’s brim
A yellow primrose was to him,
And it was nothing more.”
Peaches —’i he Alabama Planter says . “A
gentleman handed us recently the following,
which may he of service to some of our readers :
A friend of mine lias just informed me of the suc
cess lie met witli by the application of charcoal
to peach trees. A few years ago he had some
fine peach trees in his garden, which invariably
had wormy fruit, and the trees were full of gum.
When the fruit was about the size of marbles,
he had the earth removed from each about two
feet round and three inches deep, and filled with
charcoal, the result was that the fruit grew to
a fine size, free fron worms ; and every year
since the fruit has been good, and the trees be
came healthy and free from gum, while two trees
left without the charcoal continue to bear wormy
fruit, and are unhealthy.”
The Lost Tribes.— The Philadelphia Mod
el Courier, says it will be recollected that Major
Noah gave it as his opinion that California is the
real “ Oplnr” of Scripture, where Solomon ob.
tained the gold used in building the Temple. In
answer to the question of a cotemporary as to
what lias become of the ten, or rather nine-and
a-half missing tribes of Israel, the Major says
that they are without doubt to be found on the
continent of America, in the Indians who were
its inhabitants when the conntry was discovered
by Europeans. The opinion is one that very
many learned men have entertained, and much
lias been written in support of it both by Jewish
and Christian writers. In the second book of
Ksdras, in speaking of the tribes who were car
ried away captive by the King of Assyria, it is
said that he “ carried them over the waters, so
they came untoanother land.”—And it is added :
“ They took this counsel among themselves, that
they would leave the multitude of the heathen,
and go into a fat country, wherein mankind
never dwelt, that they might there keep their
statutes, which they never kept in their own
land, ( Assyria,) and there was a great way to
go, namely, a year and a half.”
The Major follows them ip their march to
wards the north-east coast of Asia, where, as he
assumes, a Urge proportion of them crossed
Blierings Straits, and spread themselves over our
Continent. Some passed down the Pacific Coast,
through California to Mexico, Central America
and Peru, where they encountered their ancient
enemies the Canaanites who had emigrated five
hundred years before them, built the city of
Palenque, and executed those various works of
art and immense labor, the huge remains of
which are a wonder and a mystery to the present
generation. Ihese people the newly-arrived
Israelites attacked and destroyed, and became
themselves masters of the New YVorld. Such
is the opinion held by the authority vve have
quoted ; and many facts are adduced in support
of the assumption. “ These,” says Noah, “ are
the missing, hut never the lost tribes of Israel.
They resided in California when the ships of
Solomon made their three years’ voyage, and
furnished the gold of Ophir for building the
temple; they reside there still—the settlers and
proprietors of Mexico, Peru, and the whole
American continent; they have been hero cen
turies before the advent of Christianty, and pa
tiently await the promises of redemption.”

[rOR THE SOUTHERN MUSEUM.]
The City of Mec on audher A venues of Trade.
For years past the City has enjoyed the bene
fits of Rail Roads from the Sea board to the
mountains, and much has been said and written,
that Rail Roads have been of more injury than
benefit. I will not by a course of argument at
tempt to prove, the falsity of that position. In
some particular branches oftrnde, one in particu
lar, and that the main one in the eyes of many—
the cotton trade, —there has been a material
change—and it is now stated, that when the
South Western Rail Road is advancing—Fort
Valley will be a second Griffin, &c. In answer
to that, I state the assertion is a correct one ; if
the citizens of Macon will generally sit still
and wait for trade to be brought to their
own doors, as they have heretofore done,
in a general sense. If they continue so to act, it
isexpected trade will pass on by them. There is
one house in the City, that instead of feeling an
injurious effect, lias heenbenefitted; they sent an
agent to Griffin, then to Atlanta, and cotton still
continued to come, and tho trade of that house
has not diminished—although we do not as for
merly see the store filled with customers, we
see that the mail bags, keep loaded dravs con
tinually carying to, and going away loaded from
the store.—lt was formerly the case that cotton
buyers would go to the camp, beyond the corpo
ration, at night-fall, and at day-break —it is just
as easy for the Macon buyers to have agents at
Fort Valley, Flint River, &c., as it is to watch
and wait at the head of the Avenue. At those
places, purchase the cotton and send it to Ma
con. From all points concentrate cotton hero,
and act united —then the City ofCliarleston will
not have her agents and funds on the road be
low you—when the Charleston people see that
trade is here and coming, funds will be here to
act upon. The prospect for Macon, when the
road from here to Pensacola is open, is of more
importance to the city, than any other avenue of
trade, and the residents here, and those on the
line of the road, should take a deep interest in
its advancement, and yet they sit silently still,
and take no interest, or but very little.
I base the following statements, not upon ar
gument, or logical reasoning—they are facts
open, clear and distinct. When the South Wes
tern Rail Road is in operation, the merchants of
Macon will not sell SSO worth of the following
articles per year to go down it—sugar, molasses,
coffee,rice, American bagging, forevery town be
low on that line can under-sell us. The whole of
that section of country then iscut off from ourgro
eery merchants. That will he called a great
evil, — but instead of being an evil, it benefits
every planter and every merchant below us, and
benefits Macon, more than every road now in
operation—making it, an interior commercial
town, with three sea ports open to us.
We can here open our wholesale houses and
furnish the whole of the upper part of Georgia
with those articles and West India produce of
every kind, lower than Savannah, Charles{on or
New York. The whole of that branch of busi
ness will be entirely cut off, so far as upper
Georgia is concerned, from those cities, and the
direction of certain articles of produce reversed.
These are subborn facts. Ten years ago, it would
have been thought a wild chimerical dream, to
have stated Yhat flour of a superior quality in
barrels, in large quantites would be shipped from
the interior through Savannah, and that Mr.
Habersham would be exporting instead of im
porting corn ; hut such is the case, and I here
state that sugar, coffee, American bagging, &c.,
will go down the Central Rail Road instead of
come up.
Freights and insurance around the Capes of
Florida, which are heavy on account of the risk,
must change materially, or the bulk of trade
will find its way through the Pensacola road to
the Atlantic cities.
Here then is a field of action before us, and
let every citizen of Macon prepare himself for
it, and set in action every nerve to advance the
road to its completion, and be ready to enjoy a
chance of its advantages, for there is not an in
terior city any where in the United States, pos
sessed of greater advantages than Macon will be,
when the road to Pensacola is open. YY'e will
then have an access to three sea port towns lor
imports and exports. I make the assertion here
this day, and time will prove its correctness,
that as soon as the direct freight line is in oper
ation from this point to the Gulf, wholesale hous
es of every kind will be opened in this place—
and if our own capitalists will not turn their at
tention to it, the city of Charleston will establish
wholesale grocery, dry goods stores, &c, and fur
nish the whole of the upper Georgia and Tennes
see States,on the same terms as they do in Charle
ston. Such was the statement of an experienced
Charleston business man, not many weeks since.
YVe must build up in this city a permanent busi
ness, and work up a capital, then live upon and
enjoy it.—lt cannot be done upon cotton ; a few
instances may be selected, when money was
made, by this person or that person, at stated
times; but there is not a house in this city or
any other, that can on tho purchases and sales
of cotton alone, for f.ve years, shew a balance
on the profit side. YVliat then has cotton done
for Macon ? It has broken every Bank in it
made bankrupts of nearly all our old merchants,
and cut off the dividends from the Savannah and
Charleston banks, and when the losses did not
stop there, they fell back on New York and
Liverpool It ia true our city was improved,
but the property docs not in all instances belong
to those that built. If we look around us now,
we will see that Macon is in a safer channel of
business than it has been for years, its credit
is reviving, and our residences are generally
owned by those who bid fair to retain them.
This fact proves that permanent capital is grad
ually rising upon a firm foundation, and the re
sult will be, when we think less of cotton, and
more of the many products of this State, we
will continue to advance.
The view taken by many of our Macon busi
ness men with regard to rail roads, is what might
be correctly termed a single view ; nothing is
thought of but cotton, there are many branches
of trade, and new ones are brought before tho
vision by rail roads. For years many of our bu
ness men, having made cotton the basis of ac
tion for their capital—think of, and see nothing
else. Like a trout angler, hundreds of fine pala
table fish of another species, may be in reach of
his hook, but he will not allow those to come
near it. So it is, with those who have bought
cotton only, they let all other chances of profit
pass by them.
The Pensacola line will open anew channel
of exportation, and importation. Take this ad
venture forinstanco: when the way isopen—in
vest SSOOO in flour, corn, &c., — look on the
list of imports at Havana and other YVest |
India Islands and you will find many other
articles of produce that this Slate affords 1
invest the funds in such articles—send them
down the road by an agent who will go
with them to Havana ; there he will sell them
at a profit, and bring back the produco of the
Island which will pay a profit at home, at the
same time you are opening a business that can
be continued by correspondence for years. Eve
ry flour manufacturing company should give all
the aid they can to have the road open to the
Gulf, then the whole of the YY'est India Islands
and South American ports would be open to
them.
If we wish to advance in one branch of trade,
and another, let iis keep on and seach for it, —in
this way; after awhile, we shall begin to see,
that our City Council could put up in Macon the
railing, stone work, &c., fur a fountain, as
neatly done by our own citizens,and much cheap
er than it was done at the North. And we
would also find that iron fences for grave.ynrds,
and marble monuments could be made at home,
handsome and cheap, from tho ore and marble
of our own State. Such lessons would teach
us to look well around us, and by close observa
tion and calculation we would come to the con
clusion, that we had better send North only for
such things as we cannot obtain here. Mr.
YVeed has every tiling in the hardware line—
YVood & Bradley in the furniture line, and the
dry goods and grocery stores of our merchants
well supplied. YY’hen we begin to encourage
home manufactures and such as the abovo im
porting houses; turn our attention to cotton
manufactories, which last branch our city is now
acting on ; and be ready and active to take hold
of every new avenue of trade a rail road gives
us, we may look forward for better days in Ma
con, but not until then. ADVANCE.
Beautiful Passage. —An article upon the
subject of “ Revivals,” in a late number of the •
Christian .Mirror, contains the following beauti
ful passage :
“The spiritual kingdom of God, like His
kingdom of nature, is advanced b» influences
which are as still and ns secret as they are great.
YVliat can bo more soft and still than the influ
ence of light on the material world ? Millions
of rays falling on the infant in its cradle, do not !
awake it frbm sleep ; yet those rays convey fer- j
tility and beauty to every tree and shrub and I
blade of grass; nay, they unbind the frosts of
winter, —they unlock our rivers in the spring,
they cause a general resurrection of the vegeta
ble kingdom, and by the abundant hnrvest they
procure, fill the hearts of countless millions with
food and gladness. YVithout light, the earth
would become unfit for the habitation of man; i
the entire race would soon perish. But light
makes no noise, no tumult, no parade of power.
The earthquake, the volcano, the hurricane, with
a thousand fold more noise, exert not a thou
sandth part of its influence on the coudition of
the world. Just like light, was designed to be
the influence of the gospel; silent, soft, gentle,
unobtrusive; yet penetrating, far-reaching, pow
erful, saving. YVe, my Christian friends, are
called “ tho light of the world ;” let us be such
in the place where we reside. The perfection
of machinery is evinced by its noiseless move
ment. Ordinarily, the more noise there is in re
ligion, tho less there is of its power. The king
dom of God cometh not with pomp, and show,
and outward ostentation. It is like leaven,
which a woman took and hid in the three meas
ures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”
