Penonal Independence. —The man who
stands-upon his own soil, who feels th at by
the laws of the land in which lie lives—by the
law of civitiled nations—he is the rightful
uud exclusive owner of the lund which he tills,
is by the constitution of our nature, under a
whp(csome influence, not easily imbibed from
apy-JUker source. He fuels, other things be
ing equal, more strongly than another the char
acter of a man os the lord of the inanimate
world. Of this great and wonderful sphere,
which, fashioned by the bund of God, and up
held by his fiower, is rolling through the
heavens, all is his, from the centre to the sky.
It is tho spacoon which the generation before
him moved in its round of duties; and he
feels himself connected by a visible link with
those who preceded him, us he is, also, to those
who will follow him, and to whom he is to trans
mit a home. Perhaps bis farm has come down
to him froth Ids fathers. They havo gone to
thtdr last h'oteoj he can trace tlioir footsteps
ever the scenes of his duily labors. Thereof
which shelters him wns reared by those to
whom he owes his being. Some interesting do
mestic* tradition is connected with every in-
closure. Tho favorite fruit-trim was planted by
his- father’s hand. Ho sported in his boy
hood beside the brook, which still winds
through the medow. Through thnt field lies
the path to the village school of earliest days,
lie still hears fi-om his window tho voice of
the Sabbath-bell 'which called his father and
his forefathers to the house of God, and near
at hand is tho soot whore-his parents laid down
to rest, and where whon h<s time comes, he
shall be laid by his children. These are the
feelings of theownerof thesoil. Words can
not piiinyhqffi—-gold cannot buy them ; they
flow'nht of tho deepest fountains of tho heart;
tlioy aro rife lifespi ings of a fresh, healthy, and
generous national character.
The Lahce of Killarney. —Tho lnkes of
Killarney Jio.in a crescent around the foot of
the highest group, of mountains in Kerry, call
ed Maegiliicudity's&qeks, nml aro divided into
two principle ones,*tho lower and tho upper
lake. The town lies o:t the former, which is
tjte largest of tho two.
. The effect of tho- lakes ef Killarney, with
their banks of soft medow land and the rich
fringe of treeascattwed over them, is greatly
increased by their lying in the midst of this
rocky wilderness. They ure also sprinkled
over with a number of little grassy and weeded
islands, mid peninsulas running out far from
the main-land into the bosom of tho lakes, and
formings never-ending variety of straits, hays
and harbors of Iniry proportions. On many of
these, wealthy amateurs, delighted with.the
ftnigstic and solitary character of the place,
buvo built ornamontal cottages, and thrown
picturesquo bridges over inlets of the lake,

Mr. Calhoun’s Great Speech. Th«
Charleston Courier, of yestesday morning,
contains Mr. Calhoun’s speech on the Slavery
question, which was rend iri tho Senate, by Mr.
Mason, of Virginin, on Monday last. It will,
doubtless, be road throughout the country,
North and South, and if it doe9 not have tho ef
fect to allay the excitement which exists every
where on this subject, it will nt least ofl'ord all
who read it a more thorough understanding of
the merits of the question than can bo obtained
from any othet source. Mr. CaLhoOn has, in
his own peculiarly forcible and concise manner,
surveyed tho whole ground. Ho has began
with the beginning of tho difficulty and traced
it titrough is various- stages of progression to
its present threatening attitude. He concludes
by declaring that the timo has como when there
should bo an open and manly avowal on all
sides as to whnt is intended to bo done. He
says:. . < -* . » / •
If the question is not nowsettled.it is-Uii-
ceuain whether it ever can herenfterbe; and
wo, as the Representatives of the States of
this Union, regarded as Governments, should
enmetoa distinct understanding as to our re
spective views, in order to ascertain whether
the great questions ut issue can be settled or
not. If you, who represent tho stronger por
tion, cannot agree to settle them on the broad
principle of justice and duty, say so; and let
the States we botli represent agree to separate
ami pari in peace. If you are unwilling we
should port in peace, tell us so, mid we shall
know what to do, whon you reduce the question
to submission or resistance. If you contain si
lent, yon will compel us to infer what you in
tend. In that case, California will become the
test question. If you admit hor, under all the
difficulties that oppose her admission, you com
pel us to infer thut you intend to-exclude us
frnm the whole of the acquired Territories,
with the intontion of destroying, irretrievably,
the equilibrium between the two sections. We
would be blind not to perceive in that case, that
your real objects are power ond aggrandise
ment, and infatuated not to act accordingly.
It is evident, front the tone of his speech,
that Mr. Calhoun regards the preservation of
the Union ns next to hopeless, though ho do-
clnres thut he has exerted himself to save it
He says the'fatc of Ihe UnioniB in tho hands of
the peo'plo of the North, and appeals to their
justice and patriotism to preserve' it.
Horrible.—On Thursday tho 14th inst., says
thq Angelica Reporter, a man by the name of
Joseph Spencer, aged about,70 years, of tne
town of Friendship, Alleghany Co., went to bis
barn to do some chores, and having been gone
longer than wiih usual for him, search wns
male, and when discovered, tho hogs were
feeding upon him, hud eaten off part of his
face, one hand, and torn out hist-entrails. It is
supposed that the old man must have fallen
either in a fit or sn stunned himself as to become
insensible, consequently the result as stated.
Marriage with a deceased Wire's Sis
ter.—-The Cqirtmllsionei's appointed in Eng
land to inquire ipto the propriety of marriage
with tho sister of a depeased wife, Imve re
ported that they ’‘find, from- a mass of evi
idence, that marriages of this kind are permit
ted, k»y dispensation or otherwise, in all the con
tinental Stutes of Europe.”
Land Salk.—At Charleston, on
W. dnesdoy, Mr. J. H. Taylor, Auctioneer,
sold all tho right, title ntid interest under the
Delius Grant, to 13G,000 acres of land in the
mountain regions of Anderson and Greenville
Districts, wus old sfor $280.
7500 acres of land in the Choctaw and

iog the progress we have hi&de in civilization
within thelaBkalfcsmUFy, tho idea thut leud
is a valid argument and gunpowder a test of
truth, docs not seem to have been left behind.
There appears to be u spico of “the first-born
Cain" lathing hi some black corner of most
men’s heiirts. which nothing can extirpate.
Among men of mettle—gentlemen by profes
sion—this bit of iufernalism, when excited by
quurrelsomo words, is very apt to explode in a'
street fight or a regular duel. Satisfaction is
tho object, we are told; but when ono of tHe
parties is killed or crippled, we should like to
know who is satisfied. Nut the man who lias
a bullet through his midriff, or who 1ms been
mutilated by his antagonist’s bowio knife. The
survivor of a fatal duel, if he hue human feelings,
is certainly anything but satisfied. Wo have
known five gentlemen who have taken this sort
of satisfaction, and upon each tho death of his
antagonist hud u withering effect—not momen
tary, but permanent—Noahs Sunday Timet.
and . Mobile Railroad. — We
learn from the Montgomery (Ala.) Journal
thnt thi* important ropd, is in a fair way of be-
ing constructed. Messrs. Abercrombie nnd
Hardaway, have,socured the co-operation of-
the New Orleans merchants,who have promised
to subscribe liberally to tho stock, tho survey
is shortly to bo commenced, and an effort is
to he made to obtain from Congress tho right
of way and grqnts of land to aid in building the
road
When this road is completed the distance
from Mobile to Charleston by railroad, will be
620 miles,and to 8avannah525miles^u2t)'miles
per hour the time to Charleston, would be 31
hours uud to Savannah 20^. These facts show
the great importance ot the contemplated roud.
'Expulsion oe the Poljs.—It would seem
from the following pungent paragraph, that
t Major Noah indulge* a hearty Russian hatred
lof the Poles that Imve within the last few years
taken up their residence in the city of New
York:
We should he glad to see the underground
telegraph succeed, if it were only for the sake
of getting rid of the poles and wire*. Tho
poles, meagre, cooked und forlorn, nil bending
different ways, as if in search of something to
leajgegqjnst, put one in mind of the attenuate
ett^fild giants described by Dickens us decrepit
and shuky in the knoes. Tho wires which
hold together those broken-backed concerns,
in weir helpless disatray, are worse than the
poles themselves. Kites that seem to have
committed a grotesque suicide by suspending
themselves by their tail* to the rusty wire, flick
er and swing in a most revolting and scare
crow fashion; a fringe or valance of rags,
straws, and other uusavory look ing at tides, runs
•long the line, 5 and the whole, token together,
i* a vile disfigurement to the city. We really
think the lightening that does our errands with
think .the lightening that
a speed that put* Prosperu’a sprite out of coun
tenance, is entitled to a more dcceut turnpike
than thpse kite-gibbutting, rug-tapestrloil wires,
held up by reeling, stooping, straddling, F me
sticks.' If (hay were a little lower, we have
doubt that curs, ond eats would be hung,
upon them. As it is, they are a decided nui
sance to the ’eye, and we wish with all our
heart* that *h.e po^wrre piado int? matches,

New Austrian Treaty.—Toe treaty be
tween the United States uud Austria,just mode
public, exempts the personal property of the
respective subjects and citizens of either from
uil inheritance, taxes, etc. according to the old
treaty’s stipulations. Persons are to have free
power to dispose of real estate. In ease of
absent heirs property to be under guardianship
of the law. Provision is mnde for-consuls, etc.
Consuls to act us arbiters in difficulties be
tween seamen anil masters of vessels. Con.
suls authorised to cause arrests of deserters
from ships of wnr and merchant mon. This
treaty to he in force two years, and to be no
longer binding after one year's notice of a dis-
posiii an from either party to terminate it.
Mortality' in the Army. — It appears
from the report of Surgeon General Lawson,
recently made to the Department at Washing
ton, that the mean strength of tho army for the
past year was 9,149 mon. The number of of
ficers nnd men remaining sick on the 30th
June, 1843, was 999; number of ensos of dis
ease during the succeeding year 28,03; making
an aggregate of 29,012 cases of indisposition
that huvo^jeen under medical treatment du
ring the year ending 30th June. 1849. Of the
whole number of sick reported, 25,349 have
been restored to duty; 23 on furlough; 702
have been discharged from the service ; 44 de
serted ; and 760 huve died, leaving on the 30th
of June 695 still on the sick report. It will
be perceived thnt the ratio of deaths to the
number of men wns ns one to 12 46, or 8 92
per cent; and the proportion deaths to the
number of cases under treatment as one to 39
52,or2 53 percent.
Revolutions and Pottiy|<f>i. .reups tg
Mexico.—-It is utterly out of tho question ftir a
paper of moderate dimensions to keep its
readers thorough posted in the political -new-
front the South American or Mexican Slates
Scarcely a vessel arrives that does not bring us
accounts of a revolution or a pronuncomento
Tfe e governments in these regions are not half
so stable as the price of coffee, even in those
days of fluctuation, and when we speak of
movement against the existing authorities we
are invariably, compelled to refer to our files to
ascertain which party was in the ascendant at
last advices. Fortunately very little interest
is attached to the political events of these coun
tries excopt, so far as tlmy relate to our own
government, and the lesson which has been
learnt them within the past few years has had
a salutary effect in causing them to keep within
their own respective spheres of political action.
They manifest Very little disposition of Into to
jostlo with us, preferring to quarrel among
themselves, in which pastime they can indulge
without incurring the risk of any very serious
consequences.
The last advices from Tampeco, brought by
the schr. Oregon at New-Orleans, are to the
19th ull. There had been an attempt nt Rev
olution in tho cnpitul of tho State of Tamnuli-
pas, which threw the government, for the time,
into the hands of the insurgents. President
Herera wns collecting n force to put down the
revolutionists. A feud of extreme violence
had also broken out between the State of Now
Leon and Tamaulipas, in consequence of tho
undefined limits of their respective territories.
Neither of these affairs, however, are exported
to disturb the peace of tho world.
LATEST FROM CALIFORNIA.
The Great Flood of tho Sacramento*
In the News of yesterday wo published a
brief abstract of the news brought by tho
steam si lip Alabama, arrived nt New Orleans.
The Picayune of the 28th ult., contains a
thrilling account of tho great flood by which tho
City of Sacramento was inundated on tho 11th
January, from which we make the following ex
tracts. Awrilor iu the Alta Cnlifornian thus
describes tho scene.
“A brief timo only elapsed before the waters
began to increase upon ull sides; the sloughs
above und the sloughs below boro into tho city
the raising flood. Sqon the earth became soft,
und tents, sheds and buildings, not permanently
and securely fastened, w ere undermined, swept
away, and homo along with the rapid current.
Long before noon hundreds of bouts were cros
sing every street, far nnd near, and bearing to
tho several vcsels. th'atluy n't the river’s bank,
women and children,the sick and the feeble;
and ns they arrived, the owners of the vessels
were ready to offer'them prompt aid and every
comfort in their power ;• and when they Were
safely lunded upon the decks, the shout of joy
went wp to heaven in loud cheers from those
who lunded them',- for their safety, arid these
shouts were echoed hack by the hundreds of
oices that were In the surrounding boats, and’
within hearing of tho response. During the en
tire day und until night this work of humanity
and mercy went on. The loss of property must
be very great—it must bo over a million of
dollars.
“Far as tho eye could reach the scene had
now become ono of wild and feat ful import
floating lumber, bales and cases of goods, boxes
nnd barrels, tents nnd small houses were Hunt
ing in every direction. The poor and suffering
beasts were in u pitiable condition und culled
forth tbe sympathy of till, nnd what could bo
done to stivo them. Hundreds ofhorses, mules
and oxen were wandering about seeking places
of security and food. Some gained places, of
safely by swimming a milo or more to tho high
bluffback of the city. It was indeed sad to
hear theit low and plaintive bellowing, as it
tr.ld of their approaching death by cold and
turvation ; some were fed by the warm heart
ed and humane ns they came."
The steamer Senator, which was on the river,
received a large number of unfortunate people
who were washed out of their houses and rend
ered destitute. The same letter writer says :
“The Senutor remained nearly 'wo hours be-
yond her time to accommodate those who were
desirous to take passage. She came down the
river very rapidly,yet steadily ami safely, and
landed her passengers at 6 I’. M., accomplish
ing her trip in eight hours. As we came down
we could secallulongthe banks fortwenty miles
clustering groups of cattle and deer, gathering
upon tho higher points of land, hoping to escape
the almost certain death thut awaited them.
Here, too, were seen houses und tents, floating
amid the trees nnd drift, deserted by their oc-
cupnnts; and where but a few weeks since they
stood upon high hanks, that budo us look up
ward Os we sailed up the wonderful river. Al
together tlie scenes witnessed are strange as
they are wonderful, nnd sad as they are strange
—no such flood having occurred for nearly
thirty years.
“As near us can be estimated tho rise of wa
ters is six feet within tho city, and the river
has risen twenty-five to thirty feet. The loss of
property is very great, taking tho all of many.
Added to this is tho personal suffering to health,
and the consequent sickness and death that
must ensue from the dreadful exposure of the
of tlie legislature.” Sixty additional We ,r
hourly expected) Rod before the arrival of tl,!*
steamer. The wherefore of all tjiis warlik"
preparation is stated to be, thnt a gentleman 0 r
Columbus owned seven-eighths of the steam?
lroguois, out of which ho wos swindled bv tl/
captain. The citizens of Columbus Were dj*
termined the'hunt should be recovered and q',
captain punished.

Later from Rjo de Janci ro.—The barque

ning, bringing dates to the 15th of January,
Capt. Y. reports that the yellow fever had made

Prince, the next heir 10 the throne, hud died
from its effects, k fl u Rhys if&kjrltti to hi* sail

Mrs. Stallings is “down on” Panoramas
over since she rend the following paragraph in
the Washington correspondence of tho New
York Herald. The Herald man says ;
“ Any place to go to,” night or dhy, is a per
fect godsend to gadding women about this
place. The theatre is not a fashionable resort.
There is too much light—it’s too public; and
it’s not a good place for flirting and soft non
sense. Two months hgo, n panorama of the
“ Mammoth Cave" wos exhibited at a room
in n byo street. The lights, of course, wore
put out daring the exhibition. It was crowd
ed nightly. Then «nroa unother panorama, of a
“ Voyage to Europe.” The proprietor is mail
ing a fortune. He will clear $30,000 in pixly
duys. It is jammed nightly. Do you suppose
the majority of the young of both sexes care a
fig in reality, to see the “ Mammoth Cave,”,or
tho “ Voyage to Europe ?” Stuff and non
sense. It affurds young men a glorious chance

to be with their sweethearts, or to carry on g
pleasant flirtation, and the fair sex are rqtmllv
pleased. Many a delicious kiss is exchanged
there in the dark, which could not be given in
the parlor of papa’s residence.
“ Did I e ver J” exclaimed the old Indy, after
she hnd finished reading the above paragraph,
•‘That’s what they call pnnorammys, is it —
blowinout the lights and kissin the gals in the
da.k. Ifthat’s the way they carry on in Wash
ington, it ain’t no wonder the men try so hard
to git elected to Congress and stay so long thar
when they git elected. And that’s the reason
they take up so mut-h time disputjii about Cal-
liforny nod tho Wilmot I’roviso, jest so they
cun stay away from thoir poor wives < who

sick and feeble during the floods
We ure happy to observe that there i* no re
cord here of any loss of life. In addition to
the above the Alta California gives tbe follow
ing:
“When the Senator left, the entire city wus
under water, bouts were navigating the street and
carrying passengers from the second stories of
houses. The ridge of high laud nbout 2miles
in the rcur of tho city, wus literally studded
with tents, and human beings were mingled
with affriuhted animals, who had also taken
refuge upon terra flrma. Sutterville was over
flowed, but the fort was still dry. Dewey’s
Hotel and the City Hotel were peopled like bee
hives, anil passengers were taken from thq sec
ond stories in boats. Many of the inhabitants
had taken vefuge on board the shipping.”
The following is from the l’lucer Times of the
5th of January;
The Placer.—We hn,ve but little informa
tion from the mines. From the Three Forks
of America river we have no news, communi
cation being nearly cot oft’ from the had condi
tion of the roads. Occasionally a boat comes
down from Yulia nnd Feather rivers, and we
learn that minors on those streams do n good
business when tho weather will allow them to
dig. A gentleman recently from the Moke-
lumno informs us thnt hp thinks operators on
■ that stream are averaging ten dollars per day.
As it seems to be tho opinion of those best
, qualified to judge, that the rainy season is
mostly over, and thnt we shall have an early
spring, miners domiciled in our cities will be
onabled to get to the diggings much earlier in
the sprirg than was generally anticipated, and
they will probubly find the water on the streams
receding, they may rensonbly expect a protrac
ted season for operation.
A difficulty had occurred between the Ameri
can* aad the Chilians nt the mines. The lat
ter having attacked and killed two of the Amer
icans, the latter in retaliation pursued the form
er and hung eleven of the marauders.
Four hundred nnd thirty-four water lots wore
sold nt San Francisco, tinder the direction of the
town authorities,on the 3rd of January, by G.
E. Tyler, auctioneer, for $635,139.
