BY TIIK CHANCELLOR. A member of the Texas Legislature named Dill, seceded from that body a few years ago whilst it was in session, the including causes f his seceasiou being typhoid fever and a lack >f wind. On the day which followed his leceasc, Mr. Gherkcu, a member arose to mnounee the melancholy fact ti the House. Another member of the body named Slaker, •vas the chronic opponent of Gberken in all natters of legislation, from a cambric needle to a sheet auchor, and never neglected a •hance to gi\e him ash it Mr. Gberken, after a soletn pause, said : “ Miso >■ Speaker ! 1 have riz in my seat for the purpose of informing this yer house f the heart-rending and solemn intelligence that S demon Hill a member of this yer body, whose heart is unforturiitly vacant, has fell a victim to the grim and destroying tyrant who yesterday put an end to his career, and that he is now dead at the house of the wid der Jones, on the hill, where he and many combers of this yer hou*e boards, who gave aim attention throughout a lengthy and con sequently and protracted typers fever, and who furnishes board and lodging to the nembers of this ) r er Legislature at a uniform price of four dollars n’aff a week, washing not included ! It aint with feelings of no ordinary regret that I make this yer commu nication to this yer august body Mr. Speak ;r, for I know’d the deceased, and know’d him from Ato izzard 1 He, like all other •uen, who are mortal, had his faults, and who aint got ’em? If he wasn’t strictly | virtuous among females, who is? I put. it’ to you and to this yer august body to an swer. He may have been slightly addicted to whiskey, but who in Texas aint? Aml so let that man shy the first rock ! He may be quick to use his tools ; but who in Texas liut? But lie never druw'd a weapon if lie wasn’t mad ! People say he didn’t pay his debts. Who does in Texas, Mr. SpeakerJ? Among his virtues lie was fond of encour iging the breed of that noble animale, the boss, iu the extensivest manner, and, Mr. Speaker, conscienturns]ie attended every race within twenty miles nigh to this yer place, and, in a gentlemanly manner, back oil his opinion onto uncertain events in the future to the extent of his ability. He was a good citizen, an honest man, and a perfick gentle man, and in his melancholy disease society lias lost a bright ornament and this yer house a shining member, which lias cast a gloom over the country at large and over this yer house but more especially over tlie domestic circle of Mrs. Jones, where, as l said before, board and lodging is furnished to the mem bers of this yer house at a nn /form price of four dollars n’aif a week, washing not inclu ded, Mr. Speaker.” Mr. Slaker here started up, saying that he “ rose to a pint of order!” The Speaker requested the Hon. Member to “ state his pint,” • j Mr. Slaker said : “Is it in order for a member of this yer house, in a speech onto i dead man, to ring in the boarding-house kep by his aunt and furnished by hissclf *?*’ | The Speaker decided the “ pint” to bo not well taken, and after a withering glance at Slaker, Mr Gherken proceeded : “ This is too solemn a time Mr. Speaker, to noti.-e personalities and side remarks. I*ll see that his mutton is cooked hereafter, and not on such a melancholy subject. To resume the diseased : whatever can be said of him, no man can declare that he waseri’t a patriot!

And stand still like a darling, while I curl your hair; there, now you are ready to ha?e your likeness taken ; and what a pretty picture mamma’s pet will make! So thought a young mother, while she gazed with a pareut’s pride oq her little boy, as he stood before her iu all the radian cy of infant beauty, bis cheeks dyed w ith the joyous light of childhood. \V illie’s mother was about leaving her na tive land, to keek u home with the stranger, ks she thought how pleased her dear old moth er would be to have a likeness of her grand son, so that she could look upon his sweet taee whenever her heart wearied for him ; so there was a pretty little seal let dress made tor the occasion, and a now hat bought; and now mamma has put them on, •and is goiug to take him to sit for his likeness. But, another picture was taken of moth er’s little darling; and oh ! could she have raised the veil from it, as it hang, shrouded by the dark mists of the future how her heart would have shrunk within her to have witnessed the change that had passed over the face of her boy. There in a coffio, ’mid the folds of the scarlet dress, lay little YVillie ! but tbe warm pulses of life had ceased to heat, and the ro ses had faded from the waxen face, while the long silken fringes had fallen softly over the blue eyes, hiding their joyous light for ever ; a few flowers were clasped within the little hands, while some were scattered around him, sweet emblems of the beautiful form that lay there so very still. The shades of evening are falling 9oftly around : the joyous songs of the sweet birds are bushed they have folded their wearied wings and gone to rest ; little YVillie’s mer ry laugh is no longer heard ; his feet have ceased to dance about the floor; he, too has gone to sleep, and the happy mother softly inurmers a lullaby at the side of his couch. Night now has thrown its dark mantle over the sleeping earth, the mother has laid down on the couch by her child, and deep though her slumbers are, something more than wonted disturbs them. (lan it be that dark forebodings of evil are shading the light, ot her dreams ? See, how her lips quiver, while she murmurs the name of her little son ; now she clasps her hands wildly and springs from the bed. The moon has arisen in all her beauty and her beams are falling over the face of little YY illie ; but oh, God! the agony their light reveals to the heart of the poor mother, as they rest on the pinched features of the child. The eyes are half open and fixed : large drops have gathered on the brow, half sha ded by the waxen curls, while from the half compressed lips comes a smothered gurgling sound, then a mournful wail —the parting adieu of the mournful spirit. The doctor arrives, but he shakes his head, and turns from the agonizing glance of the mother, as lie exclaimed “too late !” lie has no hope to offer, for well does he know that the work of death is nearly tiu ishod. The morning opened in splendor, shed ding its golden light over the beautiful flow ers, while their blossoms expanded beneath the warmth of its glorious rays. The little birds awoke, and from the boughs of the trees filled the air with sweet melody ; aud the pet bird that lav trembling and convul sed in the arms of its mother, during the night awoke from the sleep of death, and unfolding its little wings, sang one of the songs of Paradise as it soared above to nestle on the breast of Jehovah. The mother sits alone in her chamber— her heart is desolate ; for the couch is empty by the side of her bed, a vacant little chair stands in the corner. Sad thoughts arise as she gazes mournfully on the picture before her, hearing the beauty reflected there only one day previous. The features seem full of life in the mimic face, the bright eye, the glow of health, and the playful smile of in nocence, vain delu ions of mortality—all are there ! Then she turns to a little coffin that lies on a table nearby, the lid is moved aside, aud a waxen figure, bearing a true resemblance to tbe likeness in her hand, meets her eye ; but a light beams over tlie face reflected not on the other, an angel, when lie bore the spirit away, stamped it with the seal of Heaven ! Young mother ? many a heart sympa thizes with you to-day, and fervent are the pleadings that ascend to the throne on high, in your behalf. Yes ! pleading that the Nazarene may pass by, and while he gives you strength for your day, he may say to tlie dark waves that surround you, “Peace, be still ” Wliut Maketi a Good Editor. A good editor, a competent newspaper conductor, is like a general or poet —born, not made. Kxercise and experience give facility, but the qualification is innate, or it is never manifested. On the London daily papers, all the great historians, novelists, poets, essayists, and writers have been tried, and nearly all have failed. YY’e might say all ; for, after a display of brilliancy, brief and grand, they died out, literally. Their resources were exhausted. “I can,” said the late editor of the Times to Moore, “find any number of men of genius to write for me, but very seldom one man of common sense.” Nearly all successful editors have been men of this description. Campbell, Carlyle,Bulwer,and D’lsraeli failed ; Barnes, Stirling, and I)e Lane and Lowe succeeded. A good editor seldom writes for bis Paper; be reads, judges, selects, dictates, directs, alters, and combines; and, to do this well, lie has but little time for composition. To write for a paper is one thing —to edit a paper another. —Xnc York Times. O!

With every disposi tion to wish well to them, we have always lacked faith in their success. In the piinei p>lo on which they are levied, they differ not it all from import duties, or from direct tax es. The expediency of them is what we chiefly questiou. They cannot be made to fall equally upon the community, and, there fore, are inequitable. A duty on exports, is i duty levied up >n a single class, and not equally upon all classes of the people. It is a tax levied upon those who raise such artic les as arc scut abroad; all whorane articles not sent abroad escaping the burden. To show the inequality of export dutie, take some of the figures of the census of I*so. The products of the Southern States in the year 1849, by that census, were of — Slaughtered animals S 54,‘>98,015 drains 807,328,012 Cotton 101,834, tilt) Sugar 10,599,310 Naval stores 2,107,100 Miscellaneous 40,303,950 Total $528,571,103 The total exports of the whole Union for that year were but $151,898,720; of which about $120,000,000 weut from the South. The exports were, therefore, only one-fifth of the products of the South, and a duty upon exports would have fallen only upon a fifth of the producers of the South. It would not have fallen equally upon all.— n>e impolicy, the inequality, the injustice of the system, is therefore most palpable. An export duty upon the single article of cotton, would be still more unequal and un just. It is not only a charge exclusively upon exports to the exemption of the vast bulk of products raised for consumption; but it singles out a single article of exporta tion, and lays the burden especially upon that. If the revenues were intended merely for the benefit of the cotton States, the in justice would not be so great.; but being in tended also for the benefit of States which either grow no cotton, or very little of it, the inequality of such a system of taxation is fatal to its continuance. None of the States which would be exempt from the tax, would consent to a system which produced such au exemption. They would scorn to be the beneficiaries of the gratuity. If the patriotism of the cotton States prompted them to volunteer the tax, the patriotism al so of the non-cotton States would render them incapable of accepting the boon. No system of revenue or of public economy can stand long, which is uot equal, just and fair in its operations. This objection does not hold against im port duties. These duties are actually paid by the importing merchants, and enter into the prices charged by the merchants against the whole community. The tax thus falls upon the whole community, in the propor tion in which imported articles are used by it. To the extent that merchandize is un equally consumed by different members of the community, to that extent do import du ties fall unequally upon the community ; but. this inequality is rather just and fortu nate, than otherwise; for the wealthier members of society are those charged with the tax, while the poorer classes, who con sume fewer imported goods, are exempted. ‘We are well aware of the aigumcnt that a tax upon imports is ouly another form of a tax upon exports; it being a charge upon foreign trade, which is supported by exports. The argument is substantially true; but while it is true that tbe export trade of the country really pays the duties levied upon the imports received in return for exports, still, while this is true of the whole country, the impost form of taxation produces such a manipulation of the tax, as really to distrib ute it with some degree of equality among the community. Suppo.se that a merchant owns a thousand bales of cotton; if the duty be an ex post, he will have deducted it from the price of the cotton, when he purchased it from the planter; and the planting class will have paid the whole tax. If, on the contrary, the duty is an impost, payable not until the goods purchased abroad witli the cotton has returned to the merchant, he charges the duty in arranging the prices of his goods for sale. The duty, in this case, is paid by the consumers of tlfe goods, in the proportion in which they purchase of them, and the plant er, who raised the cotton, as such, escapes the duty. The consumers of the goods pay for them with their earnings, whether they be in the form of salaries, or, if farmers, in the form of produts of all kinds, raised for -tale. The impost duty thus falls upon the general industry of the country; whereas we have seen that export duty fell upon a particular branch of indutry. Iu either case, the exporting community, as a commu nity, pays the tax ; but, as to individuals, tlie export duty falls directly upon a single class, while the impost is so manipulated, as to fall broadly upon all classes piovided they indulge in the luxury of foreign com modities. As to the community at large, there is probably little difference between export and impost duties; but, as to individ uals, while neither species of duty can be said to fall as equally as direct taxes, there can be no doubt that import fall more gene rally, more equally, aud more equitably, than export duties. But the great objection to export duties is that they open our ports wide to unlimited importation of goods, aud leave every branch of domestic industry exposed to the destruc tive competition of the whole world outside. While utterly opposed to the whole theory and practice of protection, we are quite averse to rushing to the opposite extreme ol lest r art ion. If foreign g< ods could come to us only from a distance, or across the seas, the mere cost of transportation would fur nish a sort of barrier to unlimited iinporta f,ion and ruinous competition. But in oui case a powerful rival in all branches of in dustry would be separated from us only by an imaginary parallel ot latitude, and evciy means would be resorted to to break down our domestic manufactures. Some degree of independence or selt-iudependeuce, iu re gard to manufactures, is necessary to tht well-being of every community ; a trutb which the South is how realizing with greai force; and the exposure of all our luanufae tures to destruction by offeriug no check to Northern competition, would be as fatal as a complete neglect of all milit ar >’ provision for the safety of the country. The cstab lishment of custom houses ou our seaboard, and of a wH organised douainc on our Northern border, is not less important to our industrial political independence VOLUME XXXIX—NO ‘5. und security, than to the replenishment of the public treasury. To expose our whole older to the unrestricted ingress of North eru would be to expose it also to oth -1 nigiessious as dangerous to society and to government as t° Southern manufacturing industry, ibe system of export duties pre supposes a complete obliteration of all boundary lines in respect to the unrestricted influx of merchandise and commercial ad venturers from the outside. The tendeuey of export duties is to check exportations-—the. most lruitful source of national wealth. That of impost duties is to check overtrading, the great cause of com mercial distress, bankruptcy and disaster Impost duties collected in specie, have proved the most salutary of all regulators of furcigu commerce. Nations will not reg ulate their puchases abroad by the amount of their exports. All experience teaches the importance of providing some artificial check to overtrading, and no means of restraint has Wen found so salutary and so free from objection as that of specie import duties.— The system of export duties throws away all these advantages, and so *ar from limit ing our purchases abroad, tends to limit our sales to foreign countries. All liiiiii<>ne Fortification In Pro trarn on Sandy Hook. The Trenton (N. V.) Gazette says: Some two years since, it will he remem bered that a great topic of discussiou in mil itary and civic circles was the defences of New York Harbor. There was a prevalent opinion among the most distinguished en gineers, that in order to complete the pro tection of the Bay and City, and prevent a descent of hostile forces on the shoves New .Jersey, it was absolutely necessary to guard the outer key of the Atlantic, by erecting a huge fort on the most favorable portion of Sandy Hook. Defences thus located, it was believed, would command the ocean access to the Empire City, and strengthen the up per forts for a renewed attack in ease an ene my should pass beyond reach of their bat teries. Acting on the suggestion, the Federal Government ordered the building of an im mense fort on the western portion of the beach, which, from its extent and solidity, will, no doubt, be considered one of the most formidable harbor defences of the United States. The corner-stone of the fort was laid on the 26th of March, 1859. The walla will cover an obloug area of about one mile in length. It will have five bastions, the lengt h of each of which will be in accordance with the extent of its particular command of some point of the Atlantic. At present the north-easter bastion is nearly ready for mounting guns, and the eastern and north ern curtains which protect it arc sufficiently elevated to lay the embrasure stones. Two are nearly ready for the guns. The stones in front of the fott are from six to eight tons weight, were brought frotn quarries in Quincy, Mass., and Maine. The tiers of gnus will have strong and spacious case mates. The foundation, which is laid in concrete, was made seven feet from the sur face, and the breadth of the walla at the base is 14 feet, and on the top 1U feet. The caseinates are indented about dtj feet from the outer walls, and uommauding all the point of the surrounding ocean. The fort will be protected by deep trenches at its ou ter points. Washing J'ltute Ln^y EiJs. Mall: —As washing is a great bore to soldiers, and especially to new recruits, allow me, through your valuable journal, to offer to our volunteers now in the tented field, the following .recipe for washing made easy. It was presented to me by Surgeon Oglevy, on hi? return from the Mexican w’ar: To each pint of soft, or one pound of hard soap, add one tablespoonful ot saleratus, and three table.spoonsfulof spirits turpentine, mix well. To this prepared soap add hot water sufficient to make strong suds, and to cover the clothes you wish to wash. Let, the clothes soak thirty minutes (or all night if not in a burry) stirring them occasionally with a stick, or the hand while soaking.— Wring them out well, and throw them into cold water ten or fifteen minutes. By which time the suds will be settled. Then pour off the suds carefully from the mud in the bottom of the vessel. (But it the clothes are very dirty make fresh suds ) In w hich boil the clothes thirty minutes, and theu rinse them well in clear cold water, to re move the soapsuds. Woolen goods need be soaked only twenty or thirty minutes, stir red well and rinsed. Old Fooyism. Mount Meigs, Ala., June 12, 1801. Montgomery (Ala.} Mail } J'anc 15. Position of Mr. Crittenden.—We have never believed that this old veteran patriot, with all hislove lor the Uuion, could be induced to assist the Black Republican Administration in holding it together by the strong arm of force, and of the cast of sub* jugating the South. Mr. Crittenden is a Candidate for Congress, at the approaching election, in Kentucky, and we are inclined to the opinion that his election may be of importance to the South. His position, aa stated by the Louisville Courier, is that he will refuse to vote for money and men to carry on the Lincoln war; that he will ad vocate, as heretofore, a guarantee of the rights of the South, and that failing in this, he will urge the recoguitiou of the Confeder ate Government, and peaceable settlement of pending diilieulties. If Kentucky is to be represented at all in the Federal Congress, this is as much as she can expect at the bauds of any of her representatives, and per haps no other man’s iutiueuce would go fur rher towards the accomplishment of this re mit, than that of Mr. Crittenden's. Many have looked to Mr. Douglas as the giant mind that would most likely grasp this por ion of the subject, and maintain it in Con gress, but in bis absence it may be that the .euerable Crittenden has been reserved lor lis purpose.— Moufyo.
