Lif* and Lucre.— The Charlessnn Mercury of the 18th inst. uses the following just remarks: i.£ew York has afforded two instances lately of cold-blooded atrocity in the pursuit of gain, which deserve a conspicuous place in the re cords of crime. The first was brought to light in the recent investigation into the cause of the explosion of the steam-boiler in Hague-st. It appeared in evidence that this boiler had been originally made to order for the South, and on being sent toils destination, had been rejected as deficient in strength, and carried back; that the fact of of its inferiority was fully known to the purchas ers; and that in faceofthis they placed it in a huge establishment swarming with human be ings, and gave it in charge of an incompetent, self-sufficient blockhead of an engineer, who made all haste to carry it through its destined labor of mischief and misery. The Coroner's jury agreed in censuring all the parties concern ed in this wholesale despatch of human life, but there is no punishment for any of them. It will be talked of for a few days with virtuous indig nation, and then avarice will again raise hi g head and sport with his victims. The other case is that of the steamer Rhode Island, a boat built, and long used, for the navi gation of the Sound, but which the owners thought could be more profitably disposed of by filling her with passengers, at a high price, paid in advance ; insuring her and cargo, for what they might be worth in California, and sending her off to double Cape Horn. She was out three davs, when it was found she was filling with water, and a few of the deluded wretches, who had trusted their lives to the crazy concern,suc ceeded in getting off in a boat, and were picked up at sea. This was no case of unforeseen danger. The character of the steamer could not be mistaken by those who had any knowledge of nautical af fairs. When she left New York, says the Com mercial Advertiser, “her guards were down to the water’s edge, so deeply was she loaded ; and it was a remark of every one who saw her leave the port that she would never reach her port of destination.” And the Evening Post states that as site was starting, “a gentleman who understood some thing of the seaworthiness of vessels, said : l l will give her five days out to become a wreck.’ ” Is there any doubt that it was a great crime to take advantage of the fury for rushing to Califor nia, to inveigle more than fifty persons into such a craft as this ? Yet nothing will be done, or nothing effectual. What is wanted is that the builders, owners and navigators of vessels car rying passengers, should be held responsable for their seaworthiness. It is not necessary that they should be tried for murder, though they arc hardly guilty of a less crime ; but it would be a groat security if they were liable to heavy fines. As it is the lovcofgold that prompts such cruel trifling with life, let it be made the inter est of men to keep the accursed passion within bounds. There is no need of the interference of Congress. It lias been tried heretofore and proved worse than useless. The power ofa great city ought to he ample to remedy the mis chief. It is on the spot, and can be held accoun table for the manner in which it exercises its authority. Alabama. —The Legislature of Alabama ad journed on Wednesday last the 13th inst. The Montgomery Journal remarks that “a perfect revolution has taken place in the public mind on the subjects of banking and internal im provements, and the recent Legislature has not ed in accordance thereto. It chartered a join l stock bank for Mobile with a capital stock of $■134,000 ; allowed the addition of $1,500,000 more to the circulation of the bank of Mobile, and passed a general free banking law, with a circulation bused on U. S. stocks.” The Senate of Alabama unanimously adopted a resolution pronouncing the anti slavery re solves of Connecticut, sent by the Governor of that Slate to the Governor of Alabama, to be “a direct, unprovoked and wanton insult to the General Assembly of the people of Alabama.” It directs the original resolutions recieved from Connecticut to be returned to the Governor of that State, with the report and resolutions of Alabama attached. The Lcgislatnrc of Alabama has passed an act for rebuilding the State Capital at Montgom ery. Thf. Savannah and Augusta Railroad. — It is with sincere gratification, says the Repub lican ofllie Hitli inst, that we announce that the contracts for constructing the Augusta Branch Railroad ns fur as Waynesboro' have completed. The whole work, superstructure and all, (the iron being already on hand) is to *>« done in season fur the trains to pass over hy the 15tk November next. The energy and char acter of the contractors, Dr. Collins and Messrs J. D. Gray, Cos., (tho latter from the State Road) arc a good guaranty for the speedy execu tion of tlie work. Dr. Collins lias taken the first six miles starting from the 79 mile station, and Messrs Gray & Cos. the remainder. The terms are generally favorablo to the Company varying, for excavation and embankment, from to \5 cents per cubic yard. Within five days ih time the hands will he at work on the grading. The contracts were signed in this ci ty on yesterday. Mobile and Ohio Railroad. —On the 28tli ult. in the United States Senate, Mr. Foote, in pursuances of notice, asked and obtained leave to introduce a bill granting the Slatesof Alabama a »d Mississippi respectively a donation of land to aid in tho construction of a railroad fron tl>e city of Mobile to the mouth of the Ohio riv cr > which wag read a first and second time and fcfere.l to the Committee on Roads and Canals i Dr. Charming suys, “the greatest man is e w l‘° chooses the right with invincible reso ut|on, who resists the sorest temptations from "'thin and without, hears the heaviest burdens cheerfully, who is calmest in storms, and the ,nost fi’arlesg under menace and frowns, whose r ' l,ince on truth and virtue, and on God, is most Uufalt c ,[ng.” Death by Lightning. —A correspondent of the Federal L nion, from Ware county, Ga., says' “On 21st ult., the house of James Aspirwall of W are county, was struck by lightning. At the time of the melancholy occurrence, there were present in the house, besides Mr. Aspinwall and bis wife, two other men. Aspinwall was in stantly killed—his wife badly wounded, and tho two others stunned for some time. Upon their recovery, the latter found themselves lying up on the grass, outside the door and on entering the house,discovered Aspinwall dead and his wife appearantly so : but upon the application of cold water to her face, she recovered and expressed her unconciousness of what had hap ened by asking, who or what had served her in that manner ? The fluid seems to have run the whole course of their bodies, from the head downwards, as the shoes of all the persons in the party, were thrown off their feet and torn to atoms. Mr. As pinwall was a young inan of great respectabili ty, and his death is universally lamented. The Colonial Policy of England. —The English papers contain a speech by Mr.Cobden on the policy of England towards its colonies and subjects connected with it. He contends for giving his country men abroad the fullest a. mount of self-government they can possibly claim. Canada he says is fifty years behind the United States in all that Is assential to the pros, perity and happiness of the people “I admit that the political connection between the colo nies and the mother country must become less and less strong, and ultimately I can see that it will be but a mere thread connection, politically speaking. But on the other hand, by giving the colonies the right of self-government, witli a right good will, shaking hands with them, you will retain the connection, commercial!v and morally, far more strongly than you could by any political bond ; the one is by the sword, and the other is by the strong bond of affec tion for tho mother country. (Applause.) In abandoning our monopolies we only do it for the sake of the trade of the whole world.—(Ap plause.) But some persons may say the colo nies are valuable as places for the emigration of our superabundant population. I believe by giv ing them self-government they will be far bet ter outlets for our superabundant population than they are under colonial misgovernment. What is the fact now ? Why, more Englishmen go to the Lnited States, tchich is perfectly independent of us, than to all the colonies throughout the icortd.” Snake Bites and lodine. —Dr. Whitmire (in the N. West Med. and Surg. Journal for Janua ry,) rcconimpnds the tincture of lodine ns a cure for the bites of venomous reptiles in man and beast, which he says lie has used with success in the bite of rattlesnakes, copper-heads, &c.— It puts an end to the swelling and pain in from twelve to sixteen hours. He paints the bitten part over the whole swelling with three or four coats of the tincture twice a day, renewing the application when the swelling extends, which he often does at the first application, if made while tho wound is fresh. ITT Silas M. Catching, Esq., an old and high ly respectable citizen of Piko county, .Miss., was shot by one of his slaves while in bed, ear ly on the morning of the 28th Dec. last, and died from the effects of the wound thus received in about an hour and a half. O’ The steamer St. Joseph, from New Or leans, blew up and burnt to the water’s edge on the 23 ult , near Napoleon, at the mouth of the Arkansas river Fifteen persons were killed outright, and thirty-eight horribly scalded— many of whom have since died. (VT* Tlie right ot a Sub-Marine Telegraph be tween England and France guarantees that this telegraph shall, by the aid of a single wire, and of two persons only (the one stationed in Fiance and the other in England,) be capable of print ing in clear Roman type (on paper) 100 messa ges of fifteen words each, including addresses and signatures, ail ready for delivery,in 100 con secutive minutes. CT The election in Quebec closed with the following result:—The Ministerial Candidate received 1500 votes, and the Annexation Can. didate 800 votes. The latest accounts from that quarter state that the latter intend to resist any attempt to put them down by force. (LF The sailing of anew Arctic Expidition in search of Sir John Franklin and his gallant companions, took place from London on the 11 tli ult. This expedition consists of the Enterprise, Capt. Cullinson, and the Investigator,Comman der McClue. O’ The population of lowa at this time is es timated at 190,000, and it is increasing with un exampled rapidity. [ET Mr. Gall, of Albany, has, after a great deal of labor, succeeded in manufacturing spec tacles with two distinct visions in a single lens. The one vision is for ordinary distances, the other for remote. [|~F That portion of our territory not yet form ed into States, will make forty-six and a half States as large as Pennsylvania.

O’ The Legislature of Indiana, in granting divorces, affix the proviso that the party apply ing shall not contract marriage, during his or her life, with any other person than the one from whom he or she is divorced. They might as well stay married. Mr. George Copway, a Chief of the Cliippc was, in a very aide pamphlet, lias submitted to the consideration of Congress, a plan for the “ Organization of a New Indian Territory, east of the Missouri river.'* The cost of funeral expenses at Washington and New York is a subject of discussion in '.fie ‘ journals,one of which remarks that it is more j expensive to die than to live. Tricks of the Trade. —The New York Courier and Enquirer gives the following extract of n letter from a highly respectable merchant of Liverpool: Liverpool, 26th Jan. 1850. The Manchester Guardian had a long leading article, on the subject ofCotton, on Wedensday morning, raking uji all the scraps and exaggera ted paragraphs that he could find, to convince people of the great danger of buying Cotton at these high prices, and to show that there was not any confidence at all to be placed in the low estimates ; the picking was going on as freely as ever, and that the cotton-fields were white Cotton, and new bolls opening at the end of December—giving an extract from a letter from someone who had just passed through the Cot ton regions, stating these facts. Such letter, 1 doubt not, cauie from Mr. M ,of your city, whose brother had just arrived at Mobile. This article is supposed to have had 6onie influence on the wants of many spinners and speculators ; but next steamer will, perhaps tell another tale In M anchester, business is going on swimming ly. and they are getting a greater advance on their goods and yarns than we are on Cotton. Money and food are as abundant as ever, though the Russian loan of 5.J millions, part of which lias been taken in London, rather increased the demand for money, and gave a temporaay check to speculation ; but this incubus seems now to be removed, and almost forgotten. The advices from the continent of Europe, both politically and commercially, continue encouraging, and u large consumption of Cotton is anticipated this season ; according to the statistical accounts, they have last year consumed on the continent upwards of one million of bales of Cotton, of all sorts,between 8 and 900,000 of which are Ameri can. Ifyour planters play a prudent game, and supply the market gradually, they will make well out with their crops this year. On its be ing ascertained, on the Ist inst. that the return stock actual was 90,000 more than it had previ ously been computed, a check was given to an excitement that was beginning ; yet prices, even under such a disappointment, advanced for many became satisfied that spinners held then much less stock than was supposed: indeed, it is generally acknowledged that, in Manchester, they have unusaly small stocks of every thing— yarn, goods and raw material; never was there more difficulty in getting orders executed ; you have now to wait until the yarns or good are manufactured. There is a very firm market for Cotton, to-day and a good extent of business will be done. The Manchester Guardian lias another long trade against the market. The editor is afraid of lo sing his bet that, middling will be under 7d on the Ist of February. Tar. Cotton Plant. —Mr. H. M. Bracken ridge has published a sketch of the cotton crop of the United States, describing the peculiarity of tlie plant and the regions ofcountry in which the several varieties are produced. He says ; “The upland cotton region in the United States may he said to lie between the 30th deg. and 35th deg. of North latitude, extending in length from East to West, from Southern Vir ginia to the Rio Grande. Its first and most strik ing characteristic within these bounds, is, that it is an annual growth, and bears an annual crop, like wheat or corn. There is tlie regular season of growth, flower, fruit (if I may use this ex- j pression,) arid decay. It is supplied \ritli regu-( iar rains, and its growth, indue time, is arrested j by frost. The sap ofllie plant, instead of being j employed in tlie formation of leaf and woody I fibre, is expended in the production of its pods j and seeds. Instead of aspiring to the character of a tree, the whole cotton field presents a uni form appearance, the plant seldom exceeding six feet in height, with mmioreiis lateral branch es. The crop is also uniform in appearance and is nearly all ready to be gathered about the same period. It is, besides, a beautiful plant; the cotton field in blossom is highly ornamental, and the snow-white appearance, w lien tlie bolls are opened, is, if possible, still more so.” The medium size of tlie plant makes it yield more abundant, for the strength is not exhausted in the wood, while the uniformity of the staple makes it admirably calculated for all fine manu facturers. Mr. B. says: “To show how much the fruit is influenced by climate and locality, I may cite the well known fact, that the upland cotton seed, when carrii and to the sea-coast, and to the South of lati tude 30 deg., changes, in two years’ time, to the black seed, and long staple : and so nice, versa ” South of latitude 30 deg., there is a constant effort of nature to make wood at the expense of fruit, and the plants become perennial, some times a tree, its staple decreasing so as to be fit ted for only the more delicate texture. “ For this reason, the American upland cotton need fear no rival within the tropics, either iri the West Indies, tlie Brazils or India. It is true that Egypt lies North of 30 deg., but that part of Africa being on the Western side of that hemisphere, the climate corresponds with 20 deg. on the Eastern side. It seems now to be admitted, that from the peculiarity of climate and position, there is no country of the globe that cnnTivaf, or supersede, the United States in this valuable production, unless it bo the British possessessions in Australia; and the distance is too great, if the same article could be produced, to transport it to the European market in pre ference to other articles produced in those coun tries. It seems to be the peculiar gift of Provi dence to this favored land.” At one time it was thought there was danger of over-production ; there is, however, more danger in a deficiency of supply. Mr. B. con tinues : “As to the increase of production, it cannot be as rapid as heretofore ; the easily cultivated uplands of the cotton States having been pretty generally occupied, and a largo portion of them worn out. But there are still large bodies of low land West of the Mississippi, Red River, &c., capable of being brought into cultivation Cotton, at twelve cents, is a better crop than sugar at six, and consequently, tlie rise in price will tend to check the establishment of sugar plantations.—Nothing can surpass the comforts and advantages of a well-regulated cotton plan tation in Geoagia, Alabama and Mississippi. The labor is light, healthy and does not occupy the time so entirely ns to prevent tho planter from raising an abundance of provisions for the sustenance of bis people, and even for providing them clothing." A River in thf. Desert. —According to Ma. jor Emory, it is no fiction of the imagination, but a sober fact, that a river-spring broke out last Summer in the desert country, crossing the usual route to California—a river 40 feet wide, waist deep, of delicious water, such, it may be, as sprung of old from the rock, to cheer the chil dren of Israel when on the long march to their promised hind. Previously to the breaking out of this river, the emigrants suffered dreadfully with thirst. “ Whence it comes, or whither it goes,” writes Major Emory to the Government, “ is a matter yet to be determined.” The internal commerce of the West is esti mated at $526,000,000 actually, to carry on which 80,000 boatmon are employed. llAvi i—The Washington Globe savs: “Late ! accounts from Hayti via Jamaica say that tho war between Ilayti and Santo Domingo is being waged with a good deal of energy, and with no lack of ferocity on the Dominicans ; which will, Joubtless, be reciprocated by the Hoydens, when it comes to their turn to invade the terri. toryof their enemy, as their own has recently been by him. Whilst in the Haytien territory, the Dominicans inode the freest possible use of their rights as couquerers,—bombarding, killing, burning, and destroying all before -them. To read the account, one would suppose they had been studying the history of the recent Austrian campaigns in Hungary, though they cannot yet boast, probably such an adept in the trade of blood as Haynau. In this contest the Domini cans have right on their side, probably ; but still, they ought to set a better example to their less civilized antagonists; and they are whiter, too, which is a reason why more might be expected of them. But the llaylians will have their re venge, probably. When it comes to their turn to make an inroad into the Dominican territory, they will pay off the whole score, with interest, simple and compound ; and wo may expect to hear from that quarter, before long, of some per petrations that will fling into tlie shade anything that has taken place in that ill-fate 1 island since the French were driven out of it. If any per son wishes to know what took place then, let him read Bryan Edward's History of the West Indies. Later. —By an arrival at Boston we learn that there had been a report that another engagement had taken place between the Haytien and Domi nican fleets, but no authentic account had been received at the latest dates. Some of the foreign merchants having refused to comply with all the requirements of the monopoly law, in regard to the sale of foreign products, they were threa tened by the black officers with the deprivation of their patents and a fine of SI,OOO, and even expulsion from the Island. The monopoly of coffee was taken off by a royal decree of the Emperor, on the 10th of last month. Jamaica — Annexation. —The Washington City Globe says Whatever the Cholera may be— whether contagious or not—annexation seems to he beyond all question. Recent accounts from Jamaica say, that the lieges of that once rich and flourishing Island are much dissatisfied with the Home Government, openly express that dis satisfaction, talk much about rebellion and inde pendence, and a little about annexation—to the United States of course. The people there have a good deal to coinplain of, without doubt; but we hope they will find some remedy for their grivances besides annexation. Our oountry is getting to be rather too popular abroad. All our neighbors who become dissatisfied with them selves, or with their mother country,proposo at once, as a cure for all political and social and commercial and financial evils—annexation.— First on the docket is Canada, East and West. Next, Cuba, it is said, would have no objection to becoming a member of our Confederacy; but there being not much liberty of tho press in that island, it is hard to get at public opinion. Then comes Nicaragua,claiming our protection against the somewhat high-handed doings and threate nings of the British Consul, Mr. Chatfield. Next we have Jamaica, willing, it is said, to transfer herself to us, with all the lieges, white, (they are lather scarce,) yellow, and black, and all her sugar andcofl’uc plantations, which truly arc very beautiful, and were once very profita ble, but have ceased to be so since 1838, the era of emancipation. We aro taking no ground for or against an nexation. Every case that comes up ought to be discussed on its own merits. We are oppos ed, though, to ail forcible annexation ; tiiat is, against the wishes of any party that has a right to be consulted. HX The following is the result of the terrible explosion in New York : Whole number dead, ; 67; whole number injured, 30; whole number escaped, 32, whole number missing, 6—Total, 136. Death of a Poet. —The Winchester Repub lican announces the death of Philip Pendleton Cooke, Esq., of Clarke county, aged about 35 He was a native of Winchester, and a son of John 11. Cooke, Esq., of Richmond. Mr. Cooke was endowed with rare poetic talent. His “ Florence Vane” has been placed by British critics among the finest poems of its class pro- i duccd during the century. Santa Anna and his Wife.— Dr. Foote, ■ while at Kingston, visited Santa Anna and bis wife, whom lie thus discribes in his last letter : “ The hansomest house, extremely, I have seen in Kingston or its environs, and the most like a gentlemen’s mansion within, according to northern notions, is the one occupied by Gen. Santa Anna, about two miles out of town on a road affording a charming drive. I saw it arid its occupants, by accident. I was riding with tlie Attorney General of the island, to whom I am greatly indebted for his kind and corteous attentions, when, as we drew near a house of good size and siyie, surrounded by grouuus nice ly kept, lie asked me if 1 knew Santa Anna. On my replying in the negative, he inquired if I would like to see him, and, almost without waiting for an answer, turned into the open gate way and up the broad carriage road to the door- On alighting we were ushered into a large draw ing room, neatly furnished, anil in a few mo ments, Santa Anna, accompanied by liis wife and daughter, joined us. I was disappointed in his appearance. He is taller and stouter than I had supposed, and there is much grace aud even dig nity in his carriage. His manner was bland, and courteous, but grave. Our intercourse was confined to the merest commonplaces, for he had but little English and 1 less Spanish at command. Mad. Santa Anna, of whose beauty I had often heard, is worthy of all tho encomiums she has received. Her figure is exquisitely moulded, plump to the extremest point consistent with perfect health, grace of motion and symmetry. Her complexion is of the cool, opaque white, peculiar, I believe, to the thorough-bred Spanish women. If her eyes, which are black and sparkling, were a trifle larger, and relieved by a slightly increased depth ot shade, so as to corres pond more strictly to the clusicai outline ot her bead and face, she would bo one of tlie most beautiful women I have seen. Sin: speaks Eng lish very well, and her manner is exceedingly I ladylike, frank and gracious. A Railroadirom Cleveland to Chatta nooga.— Knoxville Plebian says: Now that the completion of the Chattanooga and Nashville, and Last Tennessee and Georgia Railroads is , placed beyond a doubt, the presentation of nny plan, which will materially improve the advan. { tages to be detived from tiiis railroad high-way through our State, may with property be presen- j ted to the people. There is one important work I of improvement, on this otherwise central line, j that has already elicited much attention iu the j lower counties ofEast Tennessee. It is known ; that our road connects with the road running to Nashville at Dalton, Ga ; —thus compelling citi zens going west, or coming from the west, to make an unnecessary circuit of sixty miles. — This is no small item and no small delay. It ought and we trust will be alleviated. This can he done hy a branch Railroad from Cleveland to) Chattanooga, a distance of only eighteen or twenty miles. This would be effecting a clear j gain of over forty miles. It would connect our own line of railway in our own Btate, and would further relieve the travel, that must necessarily pass east and west through this great central railway, from the danger of passing through the tunnel now in course of completion on the road from Chattanooga to Dalton. The people of lower East Tennessee are thinking, and are pre paring to art, on this matter. It is an improve, inent that ought to be made. At present, we must close with the promise to recur to the sub ject again, and at more length. Arraignment or Professor Webster.— This legal ceremony was perfumed ori Saturday, in the Supreme Judicial Court at Boston. The accused responded “ not guilty” in a firm voice. He announced that Air. Sohier and Judge Mer ric were his counsel, who, being in Court, ex pressed a desire to have the trial commenced as soon as possible. Tuesday, the 19th of March, was assigned by tlie Court as the day fertile trial. Tlie Journal says : The prisoner, during the reading of tlie first pnrtof the indictment, man ifested considerable einDtion, evidently making an efl’ort to stand perfectly firm. In roadingtlie first count of the indictment, where it describes the manner of inflicting the mortal wounds, just as the clerk pronounced the words “ with a cer tain knife which lie then and there in liis right hand, had and held,” &c., the prisoner let his right hand fall and rest upon the railing in front of him, where it remained until the reading was finished. The Book of Eternity. —Not long ago, says Dr. Harris, a proposition was made to prepare a book of Asbestos, whose pages should record tlie annals of the world ; and, as the material is incombustible, and would survive the fires of the last day, the volume was to be called “The Book of Eternity.” Vain aspiration ! the true book of eternity is already extant —the Bible; and with this vast superiority over tlie human invention, that it is mysteriously related to a two fold eternity : it is the gift of the past eterni ty to time, and will finally ho restored by time, to the eternity which is yet to come. It is a leaf from tho Book of Divine decrees ; it reveals thoughts which were revolved from everlasting in the mind of God ; in its march through time it scatters those thoughts like seeds, whose fruit is to be gathered in eternity. So copiously did the Fathers quote from the New Testament, especially from the Gospel, that bad that portion of Scripture been destroyed, their writings, it is said, would have supplied and restored the whole again. That destruction will eventually take place; but when the final conflagration shall have reducod the material of the Bible to ashes, the indestructible truths will be found transcribed by the finger of the Spirit, and en shrined in the hearts of tho renewed. “In Nature's ruin not one letter lost.” Matt, xxiv, 35. —Heaven and earth shall pass a way, but my words shall not pass away. The grass withereth, the flower fudetli, hut the word ofourGod shall stand forever.—lsaiah, xi., 8. Sons of Temperance.
