Wo wish that we ooqld wish him . sucoeu In the tremendous struggle which ho Is making to overcome his foes In Missouri. After thirty years sorvloo in the United Btetoii Senate he loot hla place thore 5 and is now striving with an energy which the most youthfal of hts enemloa cannot surpass, and with ability which none of them can approach, to regain it. Upon the whole we almost hope that ho may be successful; though the chances seem to bo Immensely against f him! Altogether, it is a sad sight to see a great man— * .' one of long and distinguished publlo services, reduced to the necessity, when nearly three score and ten, of fighting a great battle to maintain that position in the confidence of his consUtuents which he has held for to,many years. Now that the time has come . (to use his own words—with what Badness must he have penned them!) when he should “give tore- pose at home that Interval of thought and quietude which every wise man would wish to place between the turmoil of lit* and the stillness of eternity," ho is engaged In the bitterest of all* strifes—<mo purely personal. Ho can hardiy^wVj qut of it victoriously. He wiU probably die fighting, and defeated—the sun . of his popularity setting under a cloud. There Is something wrong about Benton, or this bad never been. Tet not much different was the fate of Mr. Webster. Ho, too, outlived his popularity among those who had most praised and lauded him; and Massachusetts, whom he so loved, so servod,aml so honored, refhses, through her Legislature, to erect a monument to his name! What a contrast is pre sented by the example of him to whom, for so long a time, both of them stood in opposition—one in bitter hostility. Mr. Calhoun, without once in his life con- descending to court the popularity of his constituents, died the idol of hla whole Btate. At no previous pe riod of a long public career, during which he never lost her confidence, was South Carolina ever bo devo ted to him as at the day of his death. New Publications.

Tho Georgia Courier. This paper, published at Albany, Baker County, his taken a new editor, in the person of tho Hon, Lorr Warren. Tho Judge is a thorough-going Whig. Ho opens tho fight against the Democratic party in a salutatory from which we make tho fol low ing extract: With muoh apprehension ’I enter upon the responsible duties of the editorial Department of this pajior, apprehen sion prodaced by an entire want of all experience in such affairs, and a total disrelish, at my advanced age, to engago in new, arduous and exciting labors—labors, too, In which the public are concerned, so far as correct views, and infor mation of the public affairs are interesting to the countrv. The conservative Whig party have noedod a paper In this part of Oeorgla for the dsfenco of their principles, os well as to expose the errors of the destructives. • And in view of wants in this regard, the owners of this paper have tem porarily imposed upon me these dutios j and, feeling at ail times willing to do what I can In tho causa of the country, I come before tho public to tbo discharge of tho duties as best I may. promising nothing but fidelity to tho trust, and as much labor as can be spared from other professional engagements, which must always have tho strictest atten tion j and to apply, as well as I can, my scanty political re sources to the furtherance of the Conservative Whig party of Georgia, in Us present control with Disuulonlsts. under the name of Democrats, which name they cast off in 1850 . for another, and, aa they then supposed, a more popular name, and who now resumo their old namo as a cover to their principles and purposes; and after, ns they think, they have obtained sufficient aid from the Whig ranks, to enable them to achlove a victory over allconsorvatlvo mon. Orange Melon.—We receivod yesterday from Mr. Grant, of this city, an Orange Melon, the first that we ever saw, and the most delightful of tho melon species that wo have ever tasted. Tho donor will please accept our thanks for a gift which was very truly appreciated. The Orange Melon—the seed and pulp of which are little different from the usual varieties of Water Melons—doubtless, recoives its title from the fact that Its rind peals off very much as does that of tho beautiful fruit whose name it bears. Coroner’s Inquests—Coroner Eden was called yesterday to hold two Inquests—one on tho body of Henry Carey, a free man of color, who died at the grocery shop of Mr. Bankman, corner of Jofferson and Chariton-streeta, between ton and eleven, A.

He was in tho mlddlo of a third senatorial term, and in the roll possession of all his faculties of mind and body; but bis term for retirement bad oorae—tho time fixed by himself—but fixed upon oonvlcUon, and for well con sidered reasons, and moxorablo to him as if fixed by fate. To the friends who urged him to remain to the end of his term, and who Insisted that his mind was as good as ever, he would answer that it was good enough yet to let him know that he ought to quit of- floe before his mind quit him, and that ho did not mean to risk the fate of the Archbishop of Grenada. Ho resigned hla senatorial honors as ho hod won them-meekly, unostentatiously. In a letter of thanks and gratitude to the General AsBombly of his State : and gave to reposo at homo that Interval of thought and quistudo whloh ovory wlao man would wish to place between tho turmoil of llfo and the stillness of eternity. He had nine years of this tranquil enjoy ment, and died without pain or suffering, Juno 21ml. 1737, characteristic In death as in lire. It was eight o’olock in the morning when ho felt that tho supreme hour had come, had hunsolf frill dressed with his hab itual neatness, walked in tho room and lay upon tho bed, by turns conversing kindly with thoso who were about him, and showing by his conduct that ho was ready and waiting, but hurrying nothing. It was the doath of Socrates, all but the hemlock, and in that full faith of which tho Ureolan sago had only a glimmering. Ho directed his own gravo on the point of a sterile ridge, (where nobody would wish to plough) and covered with a pile of rubblo flint stone, (whloh nobody would wish to build with)— deeming this Btorllity, nnd tho UHolessness of this rock, tho best security for that undisturbed repose of the bones which is still desirable to thoso who ure in different to monuments. . , Iu almost all strongly marked characters there Is usually some incident or sign in early life, which shows that character and reveals to tbo oloso observ er tho type of tho future man. So it was with Mr. Macon. His firmness, his patriotism, his self-denial, his devotion to duty ana disregard of office and emolument, his modesty, integrity, Bolf-control and subjection of conduct to the couvictions of reason anil tho dictates of virtue, oil so steadily exemplified in a long life, were all shown from the early ago of eighteen, in tho.rolnlnfnro representation of iudivi- a 11 ui action, and only confirmed in tho subsequent public exhibitions of a long, beautiful and exalted career. Ho was of that ago, and a student at Prince ton college, at the time ot tbo declaration of Ameri can Independence. A small volunteer corpB was then on tbo Delaware. Ho quit his books—joined it —served a term—returnod to Princeton—and re sumed lila studies. Iu tbo year 1778 the southern states had become a battle-field,big with their own fate, and possibly involving tho issue of the war.— British fleets and armies appeared there, strongly supported by tho friends of tho British causo ; and tho conquest of tho south was fully counted upon— Help was needed in these states; and Mr. Macon, quitting college, returned to his native county in North Carolina, joined a militia company as a pri vate, and marched to South Carolina—then tho tho- otre of tho enemy’s operations. Ho had his Bliaro in all the hardships and disasters of that trying time— was at the full of Fort Moultrie, surrender of Charles ton, defeat at Camden, and in the rapid winter re treat across the upper part of North Carolina. He was in tbo camp on the left bank of the Yadkin when the sudden flooding of that river, in tho brief interval between the crossing of the Americans and the coming up of the British, arrested tho pursuit of Cornwallis, nnd enabled Greene to allow some rest to his wearied and exhausted men. Iu this camp, des titute of every thing and with gloomy prospects ahead, a summons camo to Mr. Macon from tho Gov ernor of North Carolina requiring him to attend a meeting of tho General Assembly, of which he had been elected a member, without his knowledge, by tbo people of his country. He refused to go ; and tho Incident being talked of through tho crimp, catne to tho knowledge of tho general. Greene was a man himself, anil ablo to know a man. He felt nt once that, if this report was true, this young soldier was no common character ; and determined to verify tho fact. He sent for the young man—inquired of him— heard the truth, and then asked for tho reason of this unexpected conduct-this preference for a suffering entnp over a comfortable scat in tho General Assem bly 7 Mr. Macon answered him in bis quaint and sententious way, that he had seen tho faces of the British many times, but had nevor seen their backs, and meant to stay in the army till he did. Groeuo instantly saw the material tiio young man was made of, and the handle by which he was to bo worked.— That material was patriotism ; that baudlo, a sense of duty; and layiug bold of this handle ho quickly worked the yonugmaniutoadifferentcouclusionfrom the one that lie had arrived at. Hu told him ho could do more good as a member of tho General Assembly than as a soldier—that in the army ho was but one man, and in the General Assembly ho might obtain many, with the supplies they needed, by showing tho destitution and suffering which I10 had seen in the camp; and that it was his duty to go. This view of duty and usefulness was declsivo. Mr. Macon obeyed tho Governor’s summons ; and by hla repre sentations contributed to obtain tiie supplies which euabled Greene to turn bnck and face Cornwallis— fight him—crippio hioi—drive him further back than ho bad advanceu (for Wilmington is south of Cam- dem)— disable him from remaining In tho smith, (of which np to the battle of Gnilford he believed himself to bo master,) and sending him to Yorktown, where he was captured and tho war ended. The philosophy of history bos not yet laid hold of tho battle of Giltord, its consequences and effects.— That battle made the capture at Yorktown. The events are told in every history: their connection and dependence in none. It broke up the plau of Corn wallis in the South, and changed the plan of Wash ington in the North. Cornwallis was to subdue the Southern States, and was doing it until Greene turn ed upon him at Gilford. Washington was occupied by Sir Henry Clinton, then in New York with 12,000 British troops. He had formed tho heroic design to capture Clinton and bis army (the French fleet co operating) in that city, and thereby putting an end to tho war. All his preparations were going on for thatgrandconsumniatien. when ho got the newsofthe battle or Guilford—the retreat of Cornwallis to Wil mington—his inability to keep the Held in the south, and his return northward through tho lower part of Virginia, He Baw his advantage—an easier prey— and the same result, if successful. Cornwallis or Clinton, either of them captured, would put an end to the war. Washington ouanged his plan—deceived Clinton—moved rapidly upon the weaker general- captured him and his7000 men, and ended tho war. Tho battle of Gilford put that capture into Washing ton's hands, and thus Guilford and Yorktown became connected ; nnd the philosophy of history shows their dependence, and that the lesser event was father to tho greater. Tho State of North Carolina gave Gen eral Greene 25,000 acres of western land for that day’s work, now worth a million of dollars—but the day itself lias not yet obtained its proper place in American history. Th^jnilitary life of Mr. Macon finished with his dc.pnrome from the camp on tho Yadkin, and ids civil public llfo commenced on his arrival at the General Assembly, to which lie had been summoned —that civil public life in which ho was continued above forty years by free elections—representative iu Congress under Washington, Adams, Jefforsou and Madison, and long the Speaker of the IIouso : sena tor in Congress under MadiBon, Monroe,aim John Quincy Adams, and often elected President of the Senate, and until voluntarily declining—twice refus ing to be Postmaster-General under Jefferson—never taking any office but that to which lie was elected— and resigning his last senatorial term when it was only halt run. But a characteristic trait remains to lie told of his military life—one that lias neither pre cedent or imitation (tho example of Washington be ing out of tho lino of comparison); lie refused to receive pay or to accent promotion, ami served three years aa a private through mere devotion to his country. And all the long length of his life was conformable to tills patriotic and disinterested begin ning; and tliua tho patriotic principles of the future senators were all revealed in early life, and in tho obscurity of an unknown situation. Coniform ably to this beginning, he refused to take anything under tiio modern acts of Congress for tho benolit of the. sur viving officers and Boldiers of the revolution, and voted againBt them all, saying they had sntfered alike, (citfzoiiH and military,) and ull been rewardedtogeth- er in the establishment of independence ; that tho debt to tho army had been settled by pay, by pen sions to the wounded, by half pay and land to the officers—that no military claim could be founded on depreciated continental paper money, from which tho civil fnnctlonarics who performed servico, nnd tho farmers who furnished supplies, suilercd ns much ns any. On this principle he voted against tho bill for Lafayette—against a.l the modern revolutionary pensions and land bounty acts—and refused to take anything under them, (for many were applicable to himself.) His political principles were deep-rooted—innate— subject to no change, and to no machinery of party. Ho was democratic in tho broad sonso of tiio word, aa signifying a capacity in tho people for self-govern ment, and In its party sense ns iu favor of a plain and economical administration of tho federal govern ment and against latitudinarian constructions of the constitution. Hu was a party man, not in the hack neyed sense of the word, but only where principle wore concerned, nnd was independent of party in ail his relations, and in all the proceedings which ho disapproved. Of tills ho gave a strong Instance in the case of General Hamilton, whom ho deemed hon orable and patriotic, and utterly refused to be con cerned in a movement proposed to affect him per sonally, though politically opposod to him. He ven erated Washington, admired the variod abilities and high qualities of Hamilton, and ostcomcd and re spected tho eminent federal gentlemen of his timo. lie hod affectionate regard for Madison and Monroe, but Mr. Jefferson was to him tbo full and perfect ex emplification of tho republican statesman. His al most fifty years of personal and political friendship and association with Hr. Raudolpu is historical, and indissolubly connoctstheir names and memories in tho recolloctin of their friends, and in history, if it docs them Justice. Ho was tiio early friend of Gen. Jackson, and Intimate with him when he was a sena tor in Congress under the administration of the elder Mr. Adams, and was able to tell Congress and the world who no was when be began to astonish Europe and Amorlca by his victories. He was the kind ob server of the oondaot of young men, enoourogtog them by jadiclous commendation when he saw thttn making efforts to become useful and respectable, and never noting their faults. He was just in dU things, senator, and the refrwer of all offleo. Hdw ofton I think of him when I see at Washington robustious men going through a soono of supplication, tribula tion and degradation, to obtain offleo, which the sal vation of tho soul does not lmpoao upon the vilcat sinners! His fields, bis flocks and his hords yielded ‘ ’ of domestic productions. A email crop or tobaoco—three hogsheads when the season was good, two when bad—purchased the exotios Whloh comfort and necessity required, and which the farm did not produce. He was not rich 5 but rich enough to dispense hospitality and charity^to re ceive all guests in his houso, from the President, to tho day-laborers—no other title being nocessary to enter nis houso but that of an honeBt man; rich enough to bring up his family, (two daughters,) os accomplished ladies, and marry them to accomplish ed gontlomen—one to William Martin, Esq., the oth er to William Eaton, Esq., of Roanoke, ray early school-fellow, and friend for more than hair a centu ry. And. abovo all, ho was rich enough to pay as he went, anu novjurtt owe a dollar to any nmn. He wassteadfastinhls friendships, and wonldstako himself on a friend, but would violate no point of public duty to please or oblige him. Of this, his re lations with Mr. Randolph gavs a signal instance. He drew a knife to defend him in tho theatre at Philadel phia, when monaccd by sorao naval and military offi cers for words spoken iu debate, and deemed offensive to their professions ; yet, when Speaker of tho House of Representatives, I10 displaced Mr. Randolph from tho head of the Committee on Ways and Means, be- oauso tho chairman of thnt committee should bo on terms of political friendship with the administration, which Mr. Randolph had then ceased to bo with Mr. Jefferson’s. He was abovo executive offleo, even tho highest the President could give—but not abovo tho lowest tho people could give .taking that of justice or the peace iu his county, and refusing that ol Post master-General at Washington. Ho was opposed to nepotism and all quartering of his connexions on tiio government; and in tho course of his forty years’ service, with tho absolute friondsdip of many admin istrations, and the perfect respect of all, ne never had offico or contract for any of ms blood. Ho refused to be a candidate for tho Vico Presidency, but took tiio place of elector on the Van Buren ticket in 1830. He was against paper money and the paper system and was uocustomed to present the strong argument against it in tiie simple pbraso, that this was a hard money government, mado by hard money men, who hid seen the evils of paper money, and meant to save their posterity from ft. Ho was opposod to security- ships, nnd hold that no man ought to bo entangled In the affairs of another, and that tho interested parties alone—those who expected to find their profit in tho transaction—should bear the bad consequences as well os enjoy the good ones, of their own dealings. He never called any one “ friend" without being so; and never expressed faith in the honor and integrity of a man, without acting up to tho declaration when tho occasion required it. Thus,in constituting his friend Weldon N. Edwards, Esq., his testamentary and solo executor, with largo discretionary powers, iio left all to his honor, and forbid bim to account to any court or power for tho manner in which he should execute tbut trust. Tliis prohibition was so characteristic, and so hon orable to both parties, and has been so well justified by the event, that I give it in his own words, as oopied from his will, to wit: “Isubjoin the following, in “ my own handwriting, as a codicil to this my last “will and testament, and direct tlint it bo apart “ thereof—thnt is to say, having full faith in tho lion* “ or and integrity of my executor above named, lie “ shall not be held to nccoant to any court or power “wateverfor the discharge of the trust confided by “ me to him iu and by the foregoing will.” And the event has proved that his judgment, as always, com mitted no mistake when it bestowed that confidence. He had his peculiarities—idiosyncracies, if any one pleases—but they were born with him, suited to him, becoming in him constituting a part of his character, and necessary to its completeness. Ho never sub scribed to charities, but gave, and freely, according to his means—the loTt hand not knowing what the right hand did. He nevor subscribed for new books, giving as a reason to tiie soliciting agent, that nobody purchased his tobacco untlll it was inspected, and he could buy no book until be had examined it. He would not attend tiie Congress Presidential Cancus of 1824, although it was to nominate his own choice, (Mr. Crawford;) and when a reason was wanted, gave it in tho brief answer, tlmt he attended one once, and they oheated him, and he had said that ho would never attend nnother. He always wore the same dress—that is to say, a suit of tiie same material, cut and color—superfine navy blue—the whole Buit from the same piece, and in the fashion of the timo of tiie revolution, and always replaced by n new one before it showed age. Ho was neat in his person, alwnys wore line linen, a flno cambric stock, a fine fur hat with brim to it, fair top-boots—tho boot outside of the pantaloon, on the principle that leather was stronger than cloth. He would wear no man’s hon ors, nnd when complimented on the report of tho Pa nama mission, which as Chairman of tho Committee on Foreign Relations, ho had presented to tho Senate, he would answer, “ Yes : it is a good report; Taze well wrote it." Left to himself, and he was ready to take tho Inst place and the lowest seat anywhere j but in Ills rep resentative capacity ho would suffer no derogation of a constitutional or of a popular right. Thus, when Speaker of tho House, and a place behind tho Presi dent’s Secretaries had been assigned him in some cer emony, lie disregarded the programme, and as tho elect or all the people, took bis place next after those whom the national vote had elected. And in 1803, on tho question to chango tiie form of voting for Pres ident and Vico President, and tho vote wanting one of the constitutional number of two-thirds, he resisted tho rule of tiie House which restricted tiio bpcaker’s vote to a tic, or to a vote which would make a tie, claimed his constitutional right to vote as a member, obtained it, gave the vote, mado the two-thirds, and carried tiie amendment. And, what may well be deemed idiosyncratic in these days, ho was punctual in the performance of all his minor duties to the Sen ate, attending its sittings to tiie moment, attending all tho committees to which ho was appointed, at tending all tho funerals of tho members and officers of tho Houses, always in time at every place where duty required him, when elected from tiio House of Representatives to the Senate, orsummoned to,an ex tra session. He was an habitual reader and student of tho Bible, a pious nnd religious mnu, nnd of tiio “ Baptist persuasion,” as he was accustomed to ex press it. I have a pleasure in recalling tho recollections of this wise, just and good jman, nnd in writing them down, not without profit, I hope, to rising genera tions, and at least as extending tiio knowledge of the kind of men to whom wo are indebted for our inde pendence and for the form of government which they established for us.

There nre many persons, who, observing h6w fast tholr neighbors make fortunes, grow discontented with their own more slender profits. • Such individ uals often clmngo their business in consequence, san guine that a new one will prove more lucrative. Gen erally they are disappointed. They do not understand, in truth, tho new pursuit as welt os the old. Moi$- over. they find that what looked so promising at a distance, shows many a drawback on a nearer inspec tion. The wisest plurl is to stick to tho business one understands, or. nt least, to be certain that tho change will be profitable. In other words wait till you find a better. The Bnrae advice will apply to those who think, that, by moving to some other locality, they may have more success. To go to the West, or to Cali fornia, may bo an excellent tiling for many persons. But the emigrants must be those who are suited for new countries, or privation will bring on disease, if not premature death. The life of a farmer on a prai rie, with no notes to nay, and abundance nil around, or that of a miner, digging up solid lumps of ore, without toil or anxiety, appears delightlful, when painted in words. But the reality is usually a very different affair. Don’t be in a hurry, therefore, to leave your business here, small as it may be. At least be sure what you aro doing before you make a change. Iu fine, keep to your present pursuit, till you find a better. Govern your intimacies by tho same rule.

Crops, Weather, flnln, tVc, For tho week past we have had iu our immediate vicinity, line seasons for tho maturing crops of corn —for weeks previously tho showers were partial.— lint now wo expect all of onr farmers have nnd quite enough to answer the wants of their corn. Cotton lias the best appearance we recollect ever to have noticed at this season, should the rains con tinue, however, wo have fears that it may not boar well, and instead of maturing a full crop of early bolls—run too much to weed. Tho weather is exceedingly pleasant for July, and our county, so far, has been unusually healthy. The crops of Melons, Ac., are so abundant thnt wo fear bad consequences from too great indulgence in this favorite fruit, nnd wonld beg our readers to be pru dent in this very important matter. Our town is daily filled with cart loads of tho largest and finest melons, however, and advice is thrown away against the powerful attractions of their “ bleeding hearts." The season of tho year is naturally warm enough, without artificial heat, but we see signs of warm work ahead for onr District and Gubernatorial candi dates.— Albany (Go.) Courier. July 16. Serious Accident. Tho down stage on Saturday night was overset by coming in contact with a stump on the road side, and two of the passengers seriously injured-Col. Joseph Rond*, of Macon, MaJ. Ward, of Florida, Mr. Thomas Moughon and Mr. william Monghon, of Lee county, escaped without little damage if any. Tho driver, however, it is supposed^ had his shoulder dislocated, and will likely nave considerable trouble with it.— There was another passenger, from North Carolina, whose name wo havo not learned, who was also con siderably damaged by the turnover. Wo understand lie returned to Americas, and is detained thore now from his arm, which was fractured. We lmvo not seen any of the passengers nnd therefore cannot speak from satisfactory testimony, but it is rnmored tlint there was “too much steam aboard,” for the safe mnnmnvcring of tho craft.—-d/inny (Ga.) Cour ier, July 16. A Quick Cokfositor.—Mr. William Shaw, former- York City Directory with a Bilver Cub, for having in eleven dayB set a greater number of types than any man engaged on tho work. The Directory is a large work, and has to bo got np 1n a short space of time. The publisher, to encourogo tho hands engaged, of fered tho reward of a silver cup to tho compositor who should setup tho greatest quantity of type from the beginning to tho completion of tho Directory.— Mr. 8. in tho timo stated above, set up 122,000 emB, - being nearly 14,000 dally. His wages amounted to forty-eight dollars. This is most extraordinary work, and stamps Mr. 8haw as one of tho Now York fast hands—an honorable distinction among the craft^- Albany Register. Financial Piiysic.—It is proposed to establish an altogether new method of inquiry into the state of tho publlo health. Tho following are Borne of the in terrogatories recommonded to be addressed to the pa tient How nre yonr funds? Let me see your Con sols? Put out your stock. Aro yonr dividends ail right 7 Have you any pains about your bonds ? Any uneasiness referring to yonr foreign Becnritloa ? What is the state of your com market? Allow me to ox- arnlue your shares. Lot me feel yonr aorip. Have S ou any sinking in your rniiies ? Any tightness at lebank? How is. your discount? Havo you any anpetlte for speculation ?—Punch. . • Happiness.—True happiness la of a retired nature and an enemy to pomp and noise j It arises, in the first place; from tho enjoyment of ono’i self, and, la tbo nexti from the friendship and conversation of a few seleQt companions. False happiness lores to he •pplMW which »ho raiu* lo.othwt I friends are generally the best. True, they may tres- * pass, nt times, on your patience, either by pushing their claims too far. by interfering in your affairs, or by taking undue liberties, as old friends, even the best, occasionally will. But the chances arc, if you make a change, that you will not improve matters.— Tiie ancient ties, like venerable roots, cling closer than new ones, and may bo relied un, in tempests thnt wonld tear up their younger rivals. If you are wise, you will never throw off a friend, unless for the grossest misconduct. Reflect how imperfect, at best, is human nature, nnd wait till you find a better. In social science also tiio rule will apply. Every new scheme is not nscessnriiy a reform. Nor is it ni- ways possible, oven where an evil is admitted, to find nn immediate remedy. Visionary theorists thero ure, indeed, who will tell you that they have a panacea for every ill of society. But examine for yourself be fore you act, and exumine thoroughly, not superficial ly. It is easier to injure than to repair, to tear down than to build up. Progress is the best of all tilings. But real progress is one thing, stimulated progress quite another. If, therefore, you aro asked to assist in repealing any law, even one partially objection able, consider well whether, on the whole,society will be improved. If this is doubtful, bo Dot hasty, but leave the law alone—wort till you find a better. As thero nre always men ready'to tell you that so ciety is out of joint, and tiiat they only possess tho secret of ite cure, so there aro others who insist that tho faith of your fathers is absurd, if not all religion a delusion. It is the cant of tho day, among certain Rhullow thinkers, to say that a man of sense will be lieve nothing he cannot understand. Yot most men, and invarlubly those of tho greatest intellect, believe in eternity, though no human mind can really com prehend what has neither beginning nor end. But you need no argument for clinging to your faith.— You never lost a parent, a child, or a wife, if you have not found, that, iu tho hour of sorrow, religion is tiie only consolation. All other props give way, that alono sustains you. Mere philosophy can do nothing for you when death enters your dwelling.— Hold fast, hold fast to your religion, at least till you find a better. In the thousand exigencies of life, in your relations to your.fnmily, to society, to those you do business with, in everything you do, never abandon tho old familiar way, until you have thoroughly explored tiio new one, aud know it to be; superior. We do not re commend a blind, stationary, stubborn, old-world in activity. But neither would wo havo you rush into error on the opposite side. In a word, never aban don your present course in a hurry, but observe the golden rule of waiting till you find a better. Tho Iron Trade. According to calculation in tiie Pittsburg Port, the iron manufacturers of this country lmvo a sure de mand before them of nearly $300,000,000 for fabrics to bo turned out from their manufactories—a demand that will require all, and more than all their capacity to supply fast enough. The calculations upon widen tiie statements nre based, is tiie extent of railroad now in course of construction. With ono hundred tons per mile, single track, it will require 1,300,000 tons of iron rail tu complete tho thirteen thousand miles of railroad, either in progress, or which will bo in progress ere long, including the Pacific railroad At $50 per ton, this would require au outlay of $65,- 000,000 for siuglo tracks alone. But many of these rends will bo double tracks, besides turnouts, Ac.— Then follows a vast outlay for cars, locomotives, and other iron works about such roods. And it may bo fra'y e.-timated that all-tnelron for them will cost not less than $150,000,000. Ocean and inland steamers, iron ships, manufacturing machinery, iron buildings, aud nil tho other innumerable uses to which iron is applied, will require as much more; making an ag gregate Bure demand for $300,000,000 worth of iron. Besides which, many other railways will be chartered and undertaken every year, to keep up a steady de mand to that amount for many yeats to come; if not a constantly increasing amount. With the high price ot iron abroad and tiie demand at homo, tho iron manufacturers have a tolerable fair prospect of profit before them, without tho aid of legislation to help them or their business, at the expense of other indus trial pursuits^ Porpoises. Last week Messrs. Stephen und Francis Arnan.of tliis city, captured witli a seeino four porpoises, from which, we understand, they obtained upwards of six teen gallons of oil. This inhabitant of the vasty doop though often seen when it rises “ to blow," is quite a curiosity on shore.

They are long lived, and seem to inhabit particular harbors, or rather to return to tho samo harbor or river after periodic migrations. Ono of them, wound ed in tho back fin, by a rifle ball, upwards of twenty- five years since, has been observed annually tore- turn, and was 6ecn in the river last week, as active as In his younger days.

New York, July 17. The following was received this morning from tho Liverpool correspondent of the New York Asso ciated Press, whence it had been transmitted by tho itenmer Arabia. “London, July, 2.—A telegraphic despatch an nounces that n Russian corps of 12,000 men nad enter ed Jassy, the principal town of Moldovia. This may prove the sigual for a general war.” A Swedish frigate arrived at Plymouth, England, a few weeks since, from a voyage around the world. She sailed from Sweden 1851, and, having touched at Rio Janeiro and La Plata, passed through the 8traito of Magellan in February, 1852. Sailing circuitously through the Pacific, sbo visited Galiipagos, Panama, tiie Sandwich Islands. Otahoite, San Francisco, the Friendly Islands and Sydney. She was then steered for the Indian Ocean. Leaving Australia, she direct ed her course to the Carolines, tho Ladroncs, Canton, Manilla, Singapore, Batavia, and the Mauritius. On tho 20th April, 1853, she reached tho Cape of Good Hope. Having sailed thence, sho stretched away to St. Helena. On the 4th May, she took her departure from that Island, and reached Plymouth on the 8th of June. A Pair of Old Colts.—About 6 o’clock last eve ning tiie strange spectacle was presented of two re spectable looking old gentlemen, between fifty and sixty years of age. dressed in fine broadcloth, coming down Cbambers-st. from tiie direction of Broadway, with sticks for bits in their mouths, with strings at tached for lines, held also by n fashionably dressed gentleman. On arriving ot the Girard House, the antic old covies were reined into the bar-room, fol lowed by a great crowd, where, after being watered, they were turned down tho street, and soon entered a drinking saloon, where it is likely their old clay was moistened ugain. Tho oldest occasionally cur vetted like a young colt. The strange spectacle ex cited a good deal of merriment and not a little dis gust, tiie crowd having tho good taste to give the old would-be homes, but real asses, a groan.—New York Tribune. Tho grave diggers of the cemetery of Noyon, de partment of Oise, In digging a grave n few days ago, were greatly surprised to find the body of a man in a perfect state ot preservation, though the shroud, and even the coffin in which It had been placed, were entirely destroyed.

Turkey Mu. Appleton's Liberality.—In announcing tho dentil of Samuel Appleton, a prominent citizen of Boston, tho Transcript, of that city, says: His charitable donations for many years have ex ceeded twenty-five thousand dollars per annum. While lie was distinguished for great generosity of charac ter, and ids charities were extended witli great liber ality, ho had remarkable practical wisdom, and Ills gifts were bestowed with a discrimination and sound judgment truly surprising.
