The Philadelphia Enquirer, remarking upon sundry articles lately published in the London Ten;? and of which we bate already given our readers a earn pie, says. It is a little si gulsr. however, that the London Tartu, which for so n.anj years advocated emancipation, and which, on more than one occasion, has expressed its horror for slavery in eve ry form, should in the course of several j carefully prepared articles, have cau-, tiously advocated the revival of the slave trade ” Not at all singular ; and the Enquirer itself, farther on, gives a sufficient rea son, to wit: The doctrine now advocated bv the Times, and journalists of similar views, is that slavery is a very good thing if it, pays, or in other words that the Biili.h j and French West India Islands can be quickened Into new life, and be made far more valuable, as well for their in habitants as for England and Fiance, j by tire re-establishment of slavery, than ; under existing circumstances. A great nation, says the Charleston Courier, is very apt to do what it is for its interests to do, provided the morali ty is not too outrageous; and the English people, after coming to the conclusion that trade in philanthropy is unprofita- ; hie in all things, and especially for lire ; pocket., is doing a very sensible thing in 1 taking the steps towards putting a stop j to it. We have seen many indications of late that the hard sense of the north- 1 ern portion of this Union is coming toaj similar conclusion. Practical men do j not now talk much about the wrongs 1 and horrors of slavery and the slave trade, So far as the philanthropy part of it is concerned, it is a fact too well j. established, that the negro's only hope , for elevation is from constant every-day ' contact with the civilization and Christi anity of a superior race It is settled, forever, that it is much better for him to i lie here than in Afiica. The question ] that statesmen have to decide is as to ; the material profits and expediency of ] slavery The English are pecuniarily ' a practical people, and are beginning j to look at. the matter in this way. There is little doubt tiiat when the question ; is brought fairly before them, the solid xnen of the North will he governed by | considerations of utility, and a more ; enlarged system of benevolence than j! that which is just nowin fashion.

Phonographic Writing- We find the following brief notice of I this new system of short hand writing, which is first superceding all other sys ! terns of short-hand . In nocitv of the Lnited States is the I value of this mode of writing more stri kingly apparent than in Washington, where the profession of the reporter is understood, and ins labor prized yet we know of no school here for instruction in it. Like music, phonography requires ■ ‘ early training for the attainment of ex celleuco. The ear, the eve. and the hand, should ail tie educated to it in the early and flexible period of life,, not ; that it is unattainable at later periods, ; but because it is then difficult of attinn- I ‘ merit. ... . I I Theidea that but few persons will at ■ 'anv time be required to practice it is a , perfect fallacy. But, few are now re paired. because but few are skill™, and ■ their charges high hut the time is not 1 far distant when not only every legtsla live hail and every court will have its j phonographic reporters, but every exe cutive office of the Government, every i working lawyer’s office, every mercan ! tile house, will profit by the use of this art - and proficients in it will derive great favor anti profit because thereof. We would advise every intelligent and ! ambitious youth in the city to think of this, and to endeavor to acquire the phonographic art Teachers of it can no doubt be readily found Our city ought ! to have a good school of the kind, vvheic. ■ from the elements up, it may be taught. We are aware that the public mind i-s not well enough informed upon this ; subject to justify the introduction of phonography into the public schools. It . must he a speciality for a time. A non, ! every child will be taught to read and write according to this mode. -•• A 1.1 tie oi Southern Steamer*. ! We are pleased to learn from Deßow’s ! Weekly Press that efforts are being made, | with some prospects of success, to estab- j I li-li a line of steamers to run direct, I from New Orleans to France. Mr. Bar-; ney has memorialized Congress upon the j | subject, in which he states that the cit\ | is second in rank in the scale of tonnage ; j entered and cleared, and that her ton- j cage to and from France excelled every other American city. It appears also from the memorial \ that New Orleans stands first on the list ‘as an exporting city of domestic pro duce, and the necessary consequence is that her commerce is more valuable to the Union than that o; any other city, and, therefore, ought to be aided by tiie Federal Government in any lawful man ner by the establishment of ocean ami 1 mail facilities. The establishment of the contemplated line, apart from nu- j merous other advantages, would bring j • the Southern and Southwest m States at, least foui days closer to Europe, and greatly lessen the present expenses of iin ports and exports. - Charleston A». , Shall we Have a Healthy Summer, As old almost, as the English lan- j guage, is the quaint adage that “agree n ! Christmas makes a full churchyard ; and tike most of these old adages there is enough truth and science in it to keep , lit afloat on tiie steady tide of Time. — j | it i» natural that any violent reversal lof the accustomed laws of nature, or I the vicissitudes of the seasons should pro- I duce, sooner or later, evil effects upon j public health ; tiie human constitution j (having been contrived for the purpose jof existence under and in obedience to these laws, and in accordance with the 1 regular revolution of the season. Ex perience, so far os that goes, certainly shows that those seasons are the health- ; lest which are preceded by the least ; i unusual weather ; that a wholesome | summer is naturally preceded by an j ’ ordinary cold winter, and so on. It is not unnatural, therefore, that ! the very marked mildness of the weath er this season should excite remark and anxious inquiry as to the hygienic pi'os pects for the year. It is in order that j the doctors should be overwhelmed by j questioners who want to know whether I the coining summer has a chance of be- , ling lucderatelv healthy, or whether or i not we shall have tiie yellow fever when | ! the hot weather comes. : It is doubtful whether any one, in or [ | out of the faculty, can predict an epi demic with anything like respectable ac-; curacy. Still,’there are some facts pa : tent and palpable, from which any one mav draw deductions. It is obvious, for instance, that yellow fever is on a period of increase, that it lias not—as supposed last summer—reached its cli max. begun to decline. It is now rag- 1 "mgtit Havana, a very unusual occur rence at this time of year, it is in ac tive operation, and peculia-ly virulent, at Kio. Para, fct. Thomas, and tiie other South American and West Indian ports , where its visitation has been usual. — i When the sum met comes, ir will, with ! out doubt, advance yortkir and to its i ; old haunts. Last spring everybody ex pected it here; everybody was tiUap ! pointed. It may be doubted, however, : whether it usually advances regularly, !in consecutive years; there are reasons i for believing that it often passes over a : year in its progress, and re-appears tiie i second summer, to continue its dcsolu | tlon. Under tiie circumstance, though lof course nothing can be said as yet i with even a plausible appearance of cer tainty it would not be utterly prepos terous to look out next June for another visit from terrible ‘"Yellow Jack.” There are persons who look to see the j green Christmas revenged by a visitant j from another quarter. It has been cal- ! ciliated that, the movements of Asiatic | cholera are regulated by a fixed law, : according to which it ought to come j among us this summer. The law is, to j say the least, purely conjectural ; as in j boys’ mathematical calculation, us much j j allowance must be made for ” foreign disturbance” as for tiie Operation of •the law itself. But its re appearance in Europe last year was ominous.— N. Y Herald. t*r tie Augusta Dispatch has been; enlarged and improved.

A Fancy Dinner. A tall, long-ieggged Hooeier, from Jasper com Iv, Indiana, distinguished ;,v a little head perched on a crane's neck- accoutred with a swallow-tailed . coat, and pantaloons that refused tu be coaxed down to the ankles —bools shin ning with tallow, and hat that scorned over half an inch of brim—stalked into the llichmond House,to get what ire call ed a “ fancy dinner.” Being shown to the ordinary, he was asked by the ser vant what he would have. “ Wat, dog on it, 1 don’t know.” said , he, casting his eye down the long and ! seemingly endless array of iricandeaux, cotellcttes, ragouts, and other ‘ kick-! shaws,” on thebill of fare, which con founded him with their variety, while, he despaired of grappling with them all —“ what would you take, Square, es 1 !you were in my place ? I couldn’t eat: all them are fixens, you know—l| couldn't, by thunder, of I never was to i have another meal of viltloß in a coon’s j age.” ” Wouldn’t you like some soup ? | inquired the waiter. _ j “ Wal, Square, you’re'bout right, I reckon.

Dancing Academy. Prof. J. W. Biggs, the popular teacher ; of this graceful art, is now giving lcs-( sons to a large class inshe “Odd Fellows I ; and Masonic Hall.” borne few of ourj I fashionable young men have declined |attending, alleging as their reason, the j j unlimited extension of cinoline, which j deprives dancing of one half of its pleas- j ure. We have always been fond of the ! (“round dance,” especially when v.e (were so fortunate as to secure a beauti- Iful young lady for a partner, for we know of but few things more fascinat jing than the innocent privilegeof soft- j I ly encircling the fairy waist of a charm- j ! ing young lady. We frankly confess a j (decided weakness for it. \\ e are in f»- ivorofthis harmless pastime, despite the lines of the club-footed poet, who could not dance, and the stringent reso- j lathing lately passed by the Alabama! Methodist Conference. —Edgefield Aden'- , User. Speaker Or I . Tiie Washington correspondent of the 1 Evening Post commends Speaker Orr j for his efforts to maintain the dignity! i and decorum of tiie House. He says, i “Mr. Speaker Orr is enforcing thej rules of the House, excluding outsiders land keeping the insiders on their good, behaviour. If the members get a little I noisy, the sharp sounding raps of the hammer, and the “ too much converse- ; tion ! n the Hall,’ are repeated until; j they are still. He is also introducing re ! I forms in the regulations of the build- 1 ling. All the officers of the House are | strictly forbidden to keep those stimu-j ! hints of patriotic.; i and eloquence, which j :I am told could hitherto be found in i many rooms, near the Hall. Mr Orr j says that he will immediately discharge j any officer who is too spirited in his at ! teritions to members.” - - ... w ■ Ao Gloom at Home. Above all tilings there should be no gloom in the home. The shadows of I iilark discontent and wasting fretfuluess ! should never cross the threshold, throw’- j ing their large black shapes like funeral 1 palls, over the happy young spirits ; there. If you will, your home shall he i .heaven, and every inmate as an angel; I there.

Tiie latch is lifted and the smiling face of his wife gives an earnest wel come. The shining hair is smoothed over her fair brow : indeed she stole a little coqtietish glance at the minor 1 hanging in its narrow frame just to see . if she looked neat and pretty before she came out. Her eye beams with love, ; her dress is tasteful—and—what? Why! 1 he forgets all the trials of that loDg, \ long day. os ho folds her in his arms i and imprints a kiss upon her brow.

He says ; | “They took air two wagons and I burnt them to ashes before our eyes, 1 - searched and took from us everything we had, money, Ac., and toro the . j clothes off our backs, and then tied us to a tree and kept us tied three days and nights without a bite to eat You do not know howl suffered. The third day they gave us a pound of bread, and ; told us that five days from that time we ; should be put to death ; and the d—n brutes gave uschoiee, either to be burnt |to death, or be chopped into pieces by i degrees. Here we wore tied up to a I tree and trembling with fear Not i that we feared death, but only the way they hud chosen for us to die. llut the 1 night after we got our bread, it was : I about twelve o’clock at. night, as God j would have it, the fellow who stood guard over us went to sleep, and two of j our boys got loose from the tree where we were tied, and slipped round and j untied us all, and oh, God, our merciful | Parent, we thanked aud prayed for our relief. After our escape from our eue ! mies, in two days travel we overtook j Col. Johnston’s Commaud, on his way jto the Great Salt Lake City. We were | stark naked when we entered the camp jof Col.
