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, Saturday Morning, March 9, 1850* LARGEST CIRCULATION f trr* The Dah-y Morning News has now A labo- eb CITY ctBCULATiQN than either of tile other dally papers, and consequently is tho best advertising medium.

Phillips, charged with having in his, pos session a hag of Cotton which wus stolen from Mr. John i.. Martin, on Thursday last-un derwent: an examination befora Justices Rai- founwind Thomas. Alter n full investigation of the case, Phillips wns required to give bail in the sum of one thuusund dollars, to take his trial at the May term of tho Superior Court of tljis County, which, failing to procure, he wus committed to jail. > < , Gu3T.avus GoLDituitG, Phillips’ Clerk, was alsli arrested yesterday, charged with be? ing an accomplice, and with rocoiving stolen goods. He wus required to give bail in tho sum of one thousand dollars, to tnkehis trial ,ut the May term of the Superior Court. He gave the bonds and wus discharged. ty At the unnunl meeting of subscribers to he Needle Woman’s Friend, tho following ladies were elected managers, for tho ensuing year: Mrs. Jno. E.

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 Chickusaw Purchases, Mississippi, were also sold at 2G a 27 cents per acre Girard . v2’te /•Saltpetre /L-gimcnL—rNotliwithsLind- 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, Ajkl the wir,-* ciimfonably buried in a col fin of ^tio pci alia l't*> fi .$$•* *“»*"** 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.

Y. reports that the yellow fever had made it* appearance at thut -place:; and that the Prince, the next heir 10 the throne, hud died from its effects, k fl u Rhys if&kjrltti to hi* sail ing ‘Vom that port. 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 Religious Notice. The Catholic Church being undergoing repair*, th* Divine Service will therefore be held in the Oolb- tiiobpb Hall, to-morrow at the usual hours, mar 9 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 they’ve left at home to mind tho children qll summer, and go to tliepanoi ommy every night.

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.

It is, sim ply, at every syllable pronounced, to tap at the same time with the finger ; hy so doing, the most inveterate stammerer will be surprised to find that he can pronounce quite fluently, and by long nnd constant practice he will pronounce 'perfectly well.
