The April number failed to reach us ; and in the absence A information in regard to it, we were not sure that its publication was con tinued. We rejoice to know that it is xmtinued, and will be continued, and is in highly prosperous condit on.— The Southern Law Review is publish ed in Nashville, Tennessee, and its con tributors are gentlemen of legal abili ty not inferior to that of any in the United States. The articles in the number before us are, 1 Autobiograph ical sketch of Chancellor Kent. 2 Characteristics and Essential Requis ites of negotiable Bills and Notes.— 3 Transfer of negotiable paper. 4 Heiskell’s (Tetin.,) Reports, Vols. I and I. 15 Proposed plan for improving the present system of Recording. 6 selected Digest of State Reports. 7 Recent American Decisions. 8 Con dition of our Municipal Law. 9 In surance of Goods on Trust and on Commission. 10 Court of Queen’s liench iu Banco. 11 Book Notices. 12 Corrections in Chart of South ern Law and Collection Union. The nerits of these articles are of the high est order, and commend themselves to gentleman of the legal profession throughout the South, and wherever the system of English Jurisprudence has been adopted. The autobiograph ical sketch of Chancellor Kent appears in print for the first time, and is ex tremely interesting. It was furnished by Chancellor Kent to the late Tlios. Washington Esq., of the Nashville Bar, at the request of the latter many years ago. In the Chart of the South ern Law and Collection Union, we find the name of our fellow citizen \V r . G.

He offers to exchange city property, or lands in his region—a nost fertile and productive part of the State—for Real Estate in Georgia.— Persons wishing to make such ex changes would do well to address him.

If we draw a contrast between the animalcule and the huge elephant, an emotion of wonder is awakened by the difference. If we stand at the base of a tall mountain and compare its volume arid height, with a pebble at our feet, subh- ity will send its electric flash through uur whole being. Should we approach old Ocean’s imits, and gaze upon her sky bound bosom—think of her depth and ex- nt, for a moment, then look down at a single drop stolen by a little shell from the last wave, our very soul would almost leap from its heaving home. Were vve to look up, through the eye of a needle, at Aether wrapping our earth in his mantle of blue, majes tic awe would seize our very respira tion. Once more, let us take a barley-corn hold it up between us and the most remote star, the hand will tremble, unconsciously lose its grasp, while im agination, bewildered by the contrast ofdistance, will fall back to rest. There differences are produced by the hand of divinity, and consequently we are the more profoundly wrought upon. It is not my purpose to dwell upon these, but to lead my reader to consider the differences made by indi viduals among themselves in this pres ent life. It is plain that differences exist be tween individuals, which are not the work of nature. If some are rich, per haps, frugality and perseverance did more to secure their store, than cir cumstances or what the world terms “good luck.” If others are learned and have a great reputation, mental energy may have had more to do with securing the boon, than fortune or ca pacity. ' On the other hand, if some are poor, perhaps extravagauce, neglect, or ad ventures irrto wild speculation brought their poverty. Indeed, any or all ol | these evils may keep thousands iu the ranks of distress. Are others iguoraut ? , it may have been their choice. If such aie facts, we should never ! take offence when these differences be come manifest. We are responsible for that difference which is the out growth of our own acts or choice.

We may be rloh, but not hon orably so. If there is a difference be tween us and another who honorably obtained his possessions, (surely the difference is obvious) we have made it so. Therefore if any one should dis criminate between us, no offence should arise in our minds. Again, we may be a drunkard, a liar, a swindler, or the broad title of de bauchee may best fit our character; while our ueighbor may be the very reverse. There is a broad daylight’ difference, here, as well as in the other instances. But to assume a little generosity, I will grant, that it is not strictly true, that we alone dig the chasm, which afterward widens and deepens between us and our former equals. While a flood of evils is bearing us off to des truction, they are flying in the other direction. Now weaccomplish about half the work in such instances; but are responsible for the whole growing distance, which separates us, and makes the difference. But it is a little unnatural for us to acknowledge actual differences, or at least a cause for them; and consequent ly we take umbrage if others assert their existence. Sometimes, we are deluded by per sons, who make the impression upon our minds, while self interest is involv ed, that no difference exists; but they lift the scales from our eyes when that interest preponderates in auother di rection. An imaginary difference often arises, when a hair’s-breadth does not exist. When any one refuses to credit us, we swell up in our self-better feelings; look like a virtuous martyr, who had always, and would ever labor for all our employers, with equal readiness, whether equally responsible or not. Take, for instance, a physician, since he is a kind of hobby — (though gener ally he is well rewarded,) and vve are not likely to pardon him, for having embraced that charitable profession, if he does not attend us pay or no pay. Should he doubt our responsibility, or show any symptoms of uneasiness a- bout his dues, we become offended, al though we may have doubted many a man’s responsibility, equally as good, if not better, than our own. iNow the difference between ourselves and the Dr., is purely imaginary./ We think then—right then—we would act dif ferently.

Again, we may regard a certain one as an inferior; when really he is our full equal On the otner band, we Portland, Oregon, July 20, 1872. My silence for many weeks past has resulted from absorbing occupation on my little plantation in Multnomah county. Cincinnatus has been at his plough. The pen is said to be migh tier than the sword, but it cannot com pete with the plough-share. An absence ot a few weeks serves to reveal more strikingly the progress of Portland. The magic with which ci ties grow up on this Pacific region cannot be realized well by a middle Georgian. Dear dreamy old Milledge ville! The happiest hours of my life were spent in your quiet borders. Could I be “a boy again,” I should choose thee of all the world to live in. But now I am irrevocably an Orego- uian. The Presidential contest lias burst over Oregon during my rural seclusion. The nomination of Mr. Greeley by the Democratic Convention at Balti more unites here all the opponents of t he blundering Admiuistratiou of Grant, and insures the triumph of the Greeley ticket in this State next November. I supposed you would tiave equal harmony in Georgia; but in the Radical organ (The Bulletin) of this city of to-days date, I see Gen. Boh Toombs’ fire-eating speech in At lanta of June 13th, in which he propo ses to “chalk the backs” of all anti- Greeley Democrats, and kick all oth ers out of the party. Here, that evil counseller of liis State would be kick ed out of the party himself, instead of kicking any one else out. Is it possi ble that he can be a leader in Geor gia yet, after all his blundering and ruinous leadership in the past? The “Bulletin,” here, dubs him “Large Robert.” Ou Tuesday last I joined an excur sion from this city to Roseburg ou the South Fork of Umpqua rivet iu the Southern part of Oregon. It was a “pleasure” excursion, “so called.” but I observed in this, as in many former experiences, that the pursuit of pleas ure is of itself, a severe labor. The distance of ISO miles to Oakland was accomplished in nine hours and three quarters by the train of the Or egon and California Railway, as cending tiie beautiful valley of the Willamette River. Thence, the jour ney was accomplished to Roseburg, 18 miles, in less than three hours, by struck with remarkable personal re semblances. Here, the same circum stances has impressed itself on- me. Our very best drug-store in Portland is kept by a gentleman so remarkably like your excellent citizen and drug gist of Mifledgeville, Mr. Jno. M. Clark, that I could scarcely persuade myself, at first, he was not the same individual, and the leading merchant here was actually mistaken by me when I first saw him for my quandam friend Mr. P. M. Compton of your city. These instances are quite convincive of thejtruth of Lavater’s Philosophy of Physiognomy; for these two gentle men in Portland are our best citizens, and resemble in their leading traits of character the fine business habits and the unquestioned moral integrity of the two excellent Georgians they re semble so closely. In this sultry weather “excursions’ are the order of the day. Special “Ex cursion” trains run on Sundays to Aurora in the forenoon, and return in the afternoon. They are patronized by the “beauty and the chivalry,” es pecially those of the heathen pursua- sion in religion. Clatsop Beach is to us what Long Branch is to Oriental Americans, and is a fashionable place. On next Sunday, an excursion is ad- ventised by ste’amer up the Columbia River to the Cascades. Our market was enlivened yesterday by the arrival of a large supply of can telopes per Steamer from Sun Francis co. Gen. Joe Hooker of “Great Re bellion” memory (he did not “squelch” it however) is in the city—arrived this morning. We presume the sulky In dian tribes in the interior will hear and tremble. Hon. A. De Cosmos (no relative of Humboldt’s “Cosmos,”) Representative of Vancover’s Island in the Canadian Parliament, is in the city returning homeward from his Legis lative labors. The weather has pass ed the point called “warm,” and has arrived at the stage known popularly as “hot.” Sherry-cobblers, “mountain eers,” claret-and ice, &c., are “the his style.” These must suffice the inquisi tive readers of “The Federal Union” this time for Portland “local items.” With a bow to you, and to your read ers, and to all dear friends—not less dear because thousands of miles away— I am, Joe Baldwin. pbay fok mb. BY N. .C. J. When the ennset’s poliien ray Drives the dreary night away— And a sparkling dew drop glows On each petal of the rose— Find some lone place free from care, And breathe tor me a morning prayer. When the sun is shining high, In the heated noondnv sky. And the wild birds happy nntea On each wandering zephyr floats * In the daylight's brightest glare, Breathe for me a noonday prayer. A When the sun to rest has gone, And the silent night comes on— When wearily thine eyelids close. For dreamy hours of sweet repose— Then, oh then, w th tender care. Breathe for me an evening prayer. When the dea h-dew damps the brow, And thy breath coines faint and slow— Let thy life be as a light To lead me in the path of right, Then, oh then be thy last care To lisp for me tl y dying prayer.

Upon the fair, cairn hour of night, As she her sable veil lets tail The rwa.lows from the dizzy height Of ivied steeple twittering call. As twilight fades, and darkness grows Upon (he landscape, and the leaves Of (tew filled flowers slowly close, And martins gather ’neath the eves, And on the breast of silver stream, The lilies quiver, while the sigh Of rustling night-breeze, like a dream, Stirs their white blooms, and passes by. Tiie sleeping swans, with ruffled wings And head reposing, slow drift on ; The nightingale ineloUious sings The blossom-laden bough upon. The plashing of the miil-wheel fails Like music ou the faun boy's ear; As homeward trudging, blithe he calls, And whistles when his cot is near. The lights go out in cottage homes, The labors of I he daytime cease; Abroad tiie king of slumber roams, And iu liis train are—Rest and Peace. [All the Year Round. Letter from Livingstone.

The latter two counties are on the waters of the Umpqua river, the railway passing from one valley to the other through a mountain gorge in the Calaposia mountains. Nineteen miles below this “Divide,” is a spot notable in the history of Or egon. It is Yoncellai the home of Jesse Applegate, the Addison and the Boone ol Southern Oregon whose pio neering adventures.are historical, and whose vigorous and polished pen long ago received the praise of masterly expression and graceful finish from the lips of Benton, the Father of the Sen ate in his day. His home near the railway is beautifully situated in a grove of monarch oaks and other trees which lie lias permitted no vandal axe to mangle or destroy. They were there when he first saw the spot forty years ago, and there they will remain while lie and mortal life remains. One point in the railway gave rise to much merriment among the impu dent male excursionists and their blushing fair companions. The road ascends a steep at/‘Rice Hill,” curving upon itself almost to a “double,” aud on a steep up-grade making progress slow and laborious. This curve lias been appropriately named “The Gre cian Bend.” This great line ojf railway, as its name indicates, is destined at no dis tant day, to connect with the Califor nia system of railways. A journey from this city to San Francisco will then be a mere trifle in the way of travel. I must not comsume the valuable space in your “Federal Uaiou” with longer descriptions of our excursion.

Sayings of Spurgeon.—Spurgeon sententiously expresses a number of thoughts “worthy of remembering” in tiie following appropriate sentences, which he publishes as advice gratis : When jou see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop wiudow, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock within. Do not choose your friend by his looks; handsome shoes often pinch the feet. Do not be fond of compliments; re member, “thank you pussy, and thank you,” kill the cat. Don’t believe men who talk the most; for mewing cats are very sel dom mousers. By no means put yourself in anoth er person’s power: if you put your thumb between two grinders they are very apt to bite. Drink nothing without seeing it, sign nothing without reading it; and make sure that it means no more than it says. Don’t go to law unless you have nothing to to lose; lawyer’s houses are built on fools’ heads. Put no. dependence on the label of a bag, and count money after your own kind.

There I found that some .£500 worth of goods which I had ordered from Zanzibar had unaccountably been entrusted to a drunken half-caste tailor, who after squandering them for sixteen months, on his way to Ujiji, finished up by selling off'all that remained for slaves, and ivory for himself. He had “ di vined” on the Koron and found I was dead. He had also written to the Governor of Unyanyembe that he had sent slaves after me to Manyena, who returned and reported my decease, and begged permission to sell off the few goods his drunken appetite had spared, lie, however, knew well from men who had seeu me that I was alive and waiting for the goods and men, but as for morality he is evidently an idiot, and there being no law here, except that of the dagger or musket, I had to sit down in great meekness, destitute of everything save a few barter clothes and beads, which I had taken the pre caution to leave here in case of ex treme need. The near prospect ol beggary among Ujijians made me mis erable. I could not despair because 1 laughed so much at a lriend, who, on reaching the mouth of the Zambezi, said he was tempted to despair on the breaking of a photograph ol his wife. We could l ave no success after that. Afterward, the idea of despair bad to me such a strong smack ot the ludi crous that it was out of question.— Well, when I had got to about the lowest verge, vague rumors of an English visitor reached me. I thought of myself as the man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, but neith er priest, Levite nor Samaritan could possibly pass my way. Yet, the Good Samaritan was close at baud, and one of my people rushed up at the top of his speed, and in great excitement gasped out, “An Englishman coming; I see him,” and off he darted to meet him. An American flag, the first ever seen in these parts, at the head ot a caravan, tobi me the nationality of the strangers. I am as cold and non-de- inonstrative as we islanders are usual ly reputed to be, but your kindness made my frame thrill. It was indeed overwhelming, and I said in my sou!, “ Let richest blessings d< scend from the Highest on you and vonrs.” I he news Mr. Stanley had to tell was thrilling. The mighty political changes on the continent; the success ot At lantic cables ; the election of General Grant, and many other topics rivited my attention for days together, ai <1 had an immediate and beneficial effect on my health. I had been without news from home for several years, save what I could glean from a few Satur day Reviews and Bunch of 1S6S. The appetite revived, and in a week I be gan to feel strong again. Mr. Stanley brought a most kind, encouraging dis patch from Lord Clarenden, whose loss I sincerely deplore—the first I have received from the Foreign Office since 1866, and information thuL the British government had kindly sent a thousand pounds sterling to my aid. Up to his arrival, I was not aware of any pecuniary aid. I came unsalaried, but this want is now happily repaired and I am anxious that you and all my friends should know that, though un cheered by a letter, I have stuck to the task to which my friend Sir Rob ert Murchison set me, with John Bul lish tenacity, believing that all would come right at last. The watershed of South Central Africa is over 700 miles in length. The fountains thereon are almost innumerable; that is, it would take a man’s lifetime to count them. From the watershed they converge in to four large rivers, and these again into two mighty streams in the great Nile valley, which begins 10 deg ret 3 to 12 degrees South latitude. It was long ere light dawned on the ancient problem, and gave me a clear idea of the drainage. I fiad to feel my way, and every step of the way, and was generally groping in the dark—for who cared where the rivers ranV We drank our fill, and let the rest run by The Portugese who visited Casemho asked me for slaves and ivory, and heard of nothing else. I asked about the waters, questioned and crossrques- tioned until I was almost afraid ot be ing set down as afflicted with hydro cephalus. My last work, in which I had been greatly hindered from want of suitable attendants, was following the central line of drainage down through the country of the cannibals, called Manyuema, or shortly, Mayema. This line of drainage has four large lakes in it. The lourth I was near when obliged to return. It is from one to three miles broad, and never can be reached at any time of the year. Two western drains, the Lufra or Bar- tie rivers, flows into it at Lake Kuma- londs. Then the great river Lomaine flows through Lake Lincoln into it too, and seems to form the western arm of the Nile, on which PethericK traded. Now I know about six hundred miles of the watershed, and unfortunately the seventh hundred is the most in teresting of the whole, for in it, it I am not mistaken, four fountains arise from an earthen mound, and the last of the four becomes at no great dis tance off a large river. Two of these run north to Egypt, Lufera and Lou- rane, and two run South into the in ner Ethiopia as the Liambi and the Katneare. These are not the sources ol the Nile mentioned by the secreta ry of the Minerva in City of Sois to Heroditus. I have heard of them so often, and at great distance off', that I cannot doubt their existence, and in spite of the sore longing for home that seizes me every time I think of my family, I wish to finish up their dis covery. Five hundred pounds ster ling worth of goods have again unac countably been intrusted to slaves, and been over a year on the way, in stead of four months. I must go where they lie at your ex ense, ere I can put the natural completion to my work, and if my disclosures regarding the terrible Ujijian slavery should lea l to the suppression of the coast slave trade, I shall regard that as a greater matter by far than the discovery of all the Nile sources together. Now that you have done with domestic slavery forever, leud us your powerful aid toward this great object. The fine country is blighted as with a curse from above. In order that the slave ry privileges of the petty Sultan of Zanzibar may not be infringed, and the rights of the crown of Portugal, which are mythical, I should be kept in abeyance till some future time when Africa becomes another India to the Portugese slave traders. I conclude by again thanking you most cordially for your great generosity, and am gratefully yours, David Livingstone. Cheap Riding.—Superintendent Rogers, of the Central Railroad, gives notice that Return Tickets from nil terminal points and stations of the Central, Southwestern and Macon and Western Railroads can be purchased for one fare. Said tickets good till 15th November next. And on and after the 8th inst., return tickets to New York, per steamer from Savan nah, can be procured at any of the ter minal points of the same roads, for one fare, good until October 1st. Those low rates will, no doubt, increase trav el largely. The Elberton Gazette places the name of the Hon. Wm. M. Reese, of Wilkes, as its candidate for Congress , from the 5th Congressional Distriqt,
