There are homes to be rendered desolate; There is Ousting love to be changed te hate; Usury Laws and Physicians. An article in the Southwestern News, under the above caption, crept in our paper yesterday, una wares to us, and as it touches on important subjects, and contains sentiments entirely opposite our own, we feel bound to give some remarks upon them. We are fully persuaded that there are no laws more just and proper than Usury Laws, and those estab lishing the rate of interest on mon ey, notes, &c. They are in accor dance with scripture and laws that have obtained in all civilzed na tions for the space of five thousand years—very good reasons for the continuance ot such laws, if there were no other reasons in their fa vor. But there are other plain rea sons for their continuance. Among these are the iacts; Eirst, as value less as money is without relation to other values, it is nevertheless, the most fascinating in its inliuence of all earthly objects, so much so, that the “love” of it is termed “the root of all evil.” The experience of the world proves that all objects ot passionate regard require stringent laws to regulate their acquisition. By the removal of the Usury Laws and laws regulating the value of money, an undue encouragement is given to its acquisition, without regard to the necessary productions of society, and an additional stimu- lous is given to the worst and most fearful passion of humanity. Sec ondly, as money, or a circulating medium, is found to be a necessity of society, and as it possesses no value of itself, the laws regulating its value should be such, and such only, as to encourage its use and acquisition to that extent, that will aid to the greatest extent in pro ducing the real necessaries and com forts of life. In our‘ humble opin ion, value set on money, generally, in our country by the laws, is too high for these purposes. This pro position, of course, will remain a matter of opinion, until more learn ed writers than have yet appeared to demonstrate the truth, shall arise. Thirdly, w e notice that the opposi tion t.o these laws eomps fmm sy talking and speculating men.— It is never heard among the farm ers, real merchants, mechanics, or any other hard working and produ cing people. But men they say, will get around and evade these laws! That it is often both to the interest of the borrower and lender to do so. Be it so. Both borrow ers and lenders of money require restraints. A few usurers, borrow ers, and lenders constitute but a small portion of the community, are generally non-producing and useless characters, and the fewer the better. Better that a few should be such, than all should be so; and better a few loafers than mon ey for any society, any community. As.to laws regulating the liberty to practic the art of a physician, we are persuaded they are entirely too lax already. By making them more lax, of course, men would Study and labor less to acquire that most difficult of all arts, the art of healing, the less medical skill would be found in society, and the greater would be the number of persons killed by quacks and nostrums.— NUMBER 6. of human life, and we know of no method by which they can be more efficient in this respect, than in preventing people from bmng killed by fools and knaves, lhe abolishment of the usury and me - ical laws would be for the benefit o knaves and fools, to the injury o society aud honest and sensible P®°* pie.—Atlanta Repub. and Die. The man with the White Hair. On the excursion train from U tica to Boonville, at the opening of the Utica and black River Railroan, our attention was arrested by the singular appearance of an apparent ly middle aged man, w hose hair anti whiskers were perfectly white. YY e learned, upon inquiry, that he was a native ot Oneida county, but was now a resident of California, where he has resided for several years, en gaged principally in mining, lhe cause of his white hair he explain ed as follows: He was engaged in mining and had several men at work m a mine which extended some ways under ground. One day he went to carry the dinner to his men, and when he had been there but a few minutes, they heard the unmistakable sounds of the cav ing in of the sides at the mouth of the shaft. . Four men started at once, hop* ing to escape, but were met by the falling earth and crushed to death. He was .enclosed in a space of about six by twelve feet, while three men below him were cut oft from *ny communication with him, and he supposed they were crushed to death. He had a light and plenty of water and provisions, but his chance of ever seeing daylight were not very flattering, as he was some sixty or seventy-five feet under tlie surface of the earth, and he was not certain that the disaster would be discovered iu time to make aiijr at tempt to relieve. him; and it such attempt should be made, tlie pros* pect was that- it would prove inef fectual. Fortunately the disaster was car* Jv discovered and a large force was at work, and after unreraitted ex- ertrons for three days and nights, he was discovered in an exhausted condition. The three men below him were also found alive. When taken out his friends declared that for a day or two he was partially insane. His hair had also become nearly white during his confine ment. His feelings during those three days he claimed could not be imagined, but that x his whole life passed rapidi, in review, and that every act was brought vividly to mind. In fact those three days ap peared a life-time to him. He said that the sight of one of those shafts always caused a shudder to pass over him.— Watertown (K. Y.)Jour- nal. Iloli tes, the Poet, on Abolition ism. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, the New England poet, pronounced a lecture recently before the New England Society, in New York, in which he gave great offence to ab olitionism and proved himself a sensible man. We extract the fol lowing from the report in the Times: Ultra-abolitionism found no fa* y-vr. it io txjx-j imiLh iiiu same wiili the black and white races as it is with the red and white. The white must rule. It is a law of na ture. The Indian, a sketch made by Deity in red crayon as the out line of a more perfect manhood, is hunted down and extinguished.— The black, according to the Doc tor’s theory, is and must continue inferior to the white. The thing that remains to be done, is to assim ilate the whites of the North and South in feeling, so that civil dis cord may not finally end in open war. New England stands on an isthmus, and busy hands are dig- ding away the earth that still con nects it with the main land. Let us not, we beg, seo New England poisoned through and through with a hatred that hates the sinner with the sin. Let her not run oft* into a corner with her negative virtues^ till her blood becomes too thin and cold for a true patriotism. “Enlarging upon this point of the subject,” says the Times, “the Doc tor was Hissed pretty loudly, but the cheers overpowered the hisses, and the oration was finished with If laws are valuable for anything, j every manifestation of delight upon they are valuable for the protection • the part of his audience.”
