The Agamemnon aud Niagara, WrTH THE SUB—MARINE TELEGRAPH IN MID OCEAN, (.A Song of Nations.) BY WILLI AJt LOSS WALLACE. Science, Religion and Poetry.are the lovers of the ‘void J- P. Birch. O, winds of Ocean! well may ye Your wings in sweetest music wave: And thou, O sun ! look smiling down Upon the banded brave; The Red Cross floats—but roses now Arc wreathing round the bloodless fold; Beside it see the Flag of Stars In shining myrtles rolled; And hark! the song of Bethlehem’s glen, “Peace on earth! Good will to men!’’ No cannon from the port-holes frown;’ No quick, deep, boarding drums are heard; No wrathful shouts of onset here Rush through the warrior’s beard; The brave ones of two mighty lands. Once met in war, together stride With words of love and smiles of joy Above thegladdened tide; Ring out thy song of Bethlehem’s glen, “Peace on the Earth ! Good will to Men!” O, more than mortal forms are here Upon tiie decks amid the throng, Who, though unheard by mortal ear, Join in the heavenly song; Here walks the seer of Carmel’s crag: Here glows the bard of Zion’s psalm, And with them he of Patmos waves His consecrated palm— Singing the song of Bethlehem’s glen, ‘ Peace on the Earth! Good will to Men! Then,heroes ofthe banded ships, With heaving hearts and eyes a glow, Down with the instrument of love, Old Ocean’s heart below;’ By it tlio continents shall wed; The flag of war and hell be furled; One universal rainbow arch And paradise the world— In chorus with Judea’s glen, “Peace on the Earth! Good will to men!” Yes, winds ol Ocean! well may way ye Your wings in sweetest music wave; And thou, 0 Sun! look smiling down Upon the banded brave: Do ye not see the nations stand In breathless joy before thedeed! This is the bridal of the climes By him ofold decreed, When rose the song ol Bethlehem’s glen, “Peace on the Earth! Good will to Men!” HEATH IN SLEEP. A PASSAGE IN SHELLEY’S POEM, .“iANTIIE.” How wondeiful is Death, Death and his brother Sleep! Ono pale as yonder waniDg moon, With lips of lurid blue; The other rosy as tho morn When throned on ocean’s wave, It blushes o’er the world; Yet both so passing wonderful. Hath then the gloomy power Whose reign is in tho tainted sepulchres, Seized on iier sinless soul! Must then that peerless form Which love and admiration cannot view Without a beating heart,those azure veins Which steal like streams along a field ol snow, That lovely outline, which is fair As breathing marble, perish! Must putrctaction’s breath Leave nothing oi this heavenly sight But loathsomeness and ruin! Spare nothing but a’gloomy theme, On which the lightest heart might (moralize! Or is it only a sweet slumber Stealing o’er sensation, Which the breath of roseate morning Chaseth into darkness! Will lantlie wake again! # And give that faithful bosom joy Whose sleepless spirit waits tt> catch Light, life and rapture, from her smile! Although her glowing limbs are motionless, Aud silent those sweep lips Once breathing eloquence That might have soothed a tiger’s rage. Or thaw’d the cold heart of a conqueror. Her dewy eyes are closed, And on her lid, whose texture fine. Scarce hides tho dark blue orbs beneath, The baby sleep is pillowed; Her golden traces shade The bosom’s slainloss pride, Curling like tendrils of the parasite Around a marble column. Romantic Marriage. Oh ! give me a cot in the valley I love. A tent in the green word, a home in the grove; I care not how humble so ever it be, If one faithful heart will but share it with me. On Tuesday evening, one of those picturesque crafts, “yclept a broad horn,” might have been seen by the looker-out, gracefully rounding to at our flatboat landing, and shortly thereafter an individ ual, “on some great purpose evidently intent,” dis embarked, and straightway repaired to the office of Justice Houghton. He informed the worthy magistrate that he desired his services in a matri monial ceremony—stating at the same time that from “boyhood’s sunny hours” he had cherished loudly a desire to be joined in wedlock’s bonds be neath the waving branches of some lovely grove. Our obliging functionary at once assented, and the lady—the latter being a passenger on the “broad horn”—together with some citizens, who joined the group, all mounted on horse back, rode to a lovely grove, about Springfield, where the ceremo ny was solemnly performed. The beautiful bride in her flowing costume, her jaunty cap and snow-white plume, with her pran cing steed, would have made a picture for Rosa Bonheur, while her happy lord seemed translated to the seventh heaven. The ceremony over, the bridal party made a “tour” over the vast extent of our romantic sub urbs, taking in their way our beautiful cemetery and Fort Hill; and as the day god sunk to his gor geous church of purple and gold, they returned to the city, embarked once more upon the “broad horn,” and soon were borne away on the bosom ol the “Great Father of Waters.” — Vicksburg South ron. A Young Devil. The Baltimore Republican gives the following as a few of t.he exploits of a boy only fifteen years of age, the son of a very respectable citizen of that citv : “Not long ago, a young Newfoundland dog, the favorite of his father, was securely tied by this young Nero, who saturated the body with cam phene or etherial oil, and set fire to the inflamma ble fluid, which had the effect of roasting poor Tow ser until life became extinct, after the endurance of the most intense, agonising suffering which the human mind can conceive. “The young demon being well pleased at the re sult of this grand experiment in cruelty, next en deavored also to roast alive his little sister, a bright, intelligent child, about six years of age. Having playfully bound her legs and arms with a clothes line, he placed her upon the cooking stove in the kitchen, heated to an intense degree, in order to prepare dinner tor the family. The shrieks and yells of the agonised little victim were fortunately heard by the mother, who rushed down and re moved the poor child before she was fatally injured. Toleration of the young villain’s crimes had now ceased to be a virtue, and the father was engaged in preparations to effect his removal to the House of Refuge when the hopeful youth suddenly disap peared at night trom his dwelling, and no tidings have been heard of him since.” What Makes a Bushel.—The following table of the number of pounds of various articles to a bushel may be of interest to our readers: Wheat, sixty pounds. Corn, shelled pounds. Corn, on the cob, seventy pounds. Oats, thirty—six pounds. Rye, fifty-six pounds. Irish Potatoes, sixty pounds. Sweet Potatoes, fifty pounds. Onions, fifty-seven'pemnds.

We had the pleasure of witnessing the extraor dinary manifestation of the Spirit’s power in the conversion ot men and women, a few days last week in Columbus —and extraordinary it was. We hare never seen nor read ol such a phenomenon in the moral and spiritual world. In looking over the iarge and mixed congregation,as with one ac cord they raised their voice in praise and suppli cation, one is absolutely won by the moral grand eur of the scene, untii his own spirit, catching the inspiration, looses itself in the wrapt revery of an awful yet glorious speculation. In this revival, there is a spirit of fraternity and true devotion which does not often characterize such occasions. The very atmosphere seems to be filled with a mo ral odor, and all who come into it, feel the over whelming force of moral obligation and an irresis tible call to duty. The young men and women ofthe city are zea lous in doing good. They go out among their friends and compel them to serious thought. You can hear the song of praise behind the counter, and the merchant will stop his measuring of goods to say some good word to his customer. The doctor trusts more to his prayers for the sick than in his skill as physician. The lawyer stands with his brief in hand and exhorts his client to avoid litigation and submit to a little wrong rather than provoke to wrath—and thus it is from morning until night. Nearly five hundred have joined the several churches in the city, and we believe that there are not fifty men in the city, who have escaped this strong and almost irresistible appeal to duty. We hope that this moral power will widen and deepen until it reach all our cities and towns and cover the country as if with a smile of peace! In this gracious visitation of mercy we can see no other influence than the power of God, It finds no solution in the philoepby of mind or matter,and really it lies even beyond the probabilities of spec ulation. In a human sense there is no rationale of logic or learning or observation belonging to this most wonderful moral phenomenon. At a distance and from under its influeuce, skepticism may at tribute to this purely spiritual manifestation, a hu man instrumentality outside the organized means of the Bible and thereby materialize what is alto gether spiritual and immaterial; but with it, and under its controlling, constraining influence, no man or system will pretend to reason —they yield to the conviction that it is of God and unto God.— This revival is as an angel of death to infidelity, ami causes hardened transgression to tremble for its safety. To express our conviction very briefly we state, that the quiet, yet radical and all perva ding spirit of reformation throughout the city fas tens the tact upon every unprejudiced mind, that it is ail of God.— Auburn Gazette. Judge Campbell. Before the election of Justice Campbell to the Supreme Bench, no man in all this broad South was more violent in his advocacy of our rights and of the necessity of Southern expansion. .He was a steam-engine on the track of progress. He de nounced the encroachments of the Federal Govern ment upon the rights of the sovereign States; lie proclaimed that his allegiance was due alone to to the sovereign power of Alabama, who was but a member of a Confederacy, from which she could | ,secede at any moment. States Rights, Southern Rights, God and the People, was the cry of plain Air. Campbell before he put on the ermine of a Federal Judge. And since that time-—Heaven help humanity ! —no greater advocate of Federal npwer and tyranny exists than this whilom friend o ie ooueu ....a „c Southern expansion. The black mantle now covers as arra„t a Federalist as ever entered tho precincts ofthe Capitol. We observe that some of the citizens of Alobile tendered Judge Campbell a public dinner the other f/Pffiy ff Southern eating and drinking testimonial, we think, is a se cret worth the attention of the thoughtful men of our sister city. There was, we imagine, something more in that affair than admiration for the conduct ofthe Judge in the recent trial of General Walker and others, and a desire to poultice the wound in flicted upon him by the press.—JV. O. Daily Delta. The Abolition Infidel Woman’* Rlglita Free, love Reform Convention. This body, which was in session in Vermont last week, is a disgrace to the age in which it met. — Were such a conclave attempted in any southern town the very blackguard boys in the streets would pelt it out with a shoWer of rotten eggs and brick bats. Some of the resolutions will not bear a re publication, but we select a few reported by the Business Committee, which will do as specimens of the agrarian and blasphemous spirit that ruled in the convention : SLAVERY. That slavery is a wrong which no power in the universe can make right; therefore, any law con stitution, court or government, any church, priest hood, creed or Bible, any Christ or any God that by silence or otherwise, authorizes man to euslave man, merits the scorn and contempt of mankind, BIBLE. Thatnothing is true or right, and nothing is false or wrong, because it is sanctioned or eoti demnned by the Bible—therefore our Bible is pow erless to prove any doctrine to be true or any prac tice to be right, and it should never be quoted for that purpose. That the time and devotion spent on religious services can confer no benefit on an Infinite and Independent Power, and can there fore be no vir tue. woman’s eights. Whireas, The assumed superiority of man over woman has held her in submission, and entailed slavery and dependence on the sex, and conse quently misery on the race—therefore, Resolved, That immediate steps should be taken to remove that error and ils consequences, and place woman politically, industrially,educationally and socially, on a perfect equality with man. LAND REFORM. That the earth, like'the air and light, belongs in common to the children of men on it. Each hu man being is alike independent, each child, by virtue of his existence, has an inalienable right to so much of the earth’s surface as is convenient by proper culture to his support and perfect develop ment, and none has a right to any more; therefore all laws authorizing and sustaining private prop erty in land for the purpose of speculation, and which prevent men and women from possessing any land without paying lor it, are as unjust as would be any laws compelling them to pay for air or light, and ought to be at once repealed for ever Sav. Republican. A Splendid Weapon.—Several months ago, as our readers will recollect, we noticed an applica tion made by Mr. A. Le Mat, of this city, for a pa tent for an improved revolver of his invention.— He has secured his patent, and yesterday showed us one of them. It is beyond all comparison the finest weapon we ever saw. It is a revolver of nine chambers, charged with conical expanding balls, which are fired in the same manner as the balls of the Coil’s Army Revolver. But in addi tion to these there is a large center barrel the charge of which consists of fifteen or twenty buck shot. This barrel is independent of all the others and is charged by means of a sliding hammer. The adjustment for the discharge of the central or grape shot barrel can be effected by a single motion in two seconds. In weight this weapon is about equal to the regular Army revolver, but in efficien cy it far surpasses it.— N. O. Crescent. Copartnership.—A colored firm in Newark, N. J. having suffered some pecuniary embarrassments recently, gave the following ‘notis’ to the public: ‘De disholution of coparsnips hertofo resisting twixt me and Jones, in de barber perfesion, am heretofo resolved. Pussons who ose must pay the inscriber. Dem dat the.furm ose mus call on Jones as de iurm is insolved.J JOHNSON. The New Orleans Duel. The N.O. Delta, of Wednesday lasl, has the following in reference to the duel which was con sidered sufficiently important to be telegraphed all over the country : A hostile meeting took place yesterday at the “Oaks,” near the Half Way House, between Air. Joseph Hanlon, Reporter of the True Delta, and Mr. isreal Gibbons, Reporter ofthe Crescent. The weapons used were duelling pistols, distance twelve paces. At the first fire Air. Gibbons re ceived the ball ofhis adversary in the breast, and was caught by his seconds as he fell. Upon ex amination it was found that the wound was ex tremely dangerous, and it was thought advisable not to move him from the ground. We, however, learned that he was subsequently removed. Air. Hanlon escaped uninjured, the ball ofhis adversa ry cutting his coat. The diffianlty, we learned, grew out of some compositions which were read before the Girl’s High School last week, and which were published in the True Delta of last Sunday. It appears that Air. Hanlon obtained them for publication in a manner which called forth some remarks form Mr. Gibbons, which the former considered insulting, and which, alter some correspondence, led to a challenge from Mr. Hanlon. The parties hither to have been firm friends. When we last heard from Air. Gibbons it was feared he could not sur vive. Since the above was in type, we have learned that there is reason to suppose that Air. Gibbons will recover. The Living and the Dead Monroe. It is just twenty-eight years since James Mon roe left Virginia to reside in New York. If tradi tion speak truly, he departed under circumstances not very creditable to the character of the Stale whose annals he had illustrated by his wisdom and his virtues. Although he had been engaged in al most every variety of civil employment, from the lowest and least profitable to the highest and most lucrative, in his old age he retired to private life without the resources even of a comfortable subsis tence. His poverty was not the result of vice or indolence, but of the entire devotion ofhis energies to the service of the country. His virtues were universally revered, and he was already a chief among the historic worthies of Virginia. Neverthe less, ho was reduced to the sad necessity of giving up his property for the satisfaction of creditors, and of removing to another State, that he might enjoy protection under the roof a generous descendant. In a short lime after his residence in New York, he died, it is said, of vexation at the delay in allowing a long-standing claim for a balance on an adjust ment ofhis accounts with the Government. Alter twenty-five years of repose in another Stale, to-day the remains of James Monroe will be de posited in the soil of his nativity. Virginia, who silently witnessed the exile of the aged patriot, and made no effort to lighten his sorrows, now receives his bones with every demonstration of respect for his memory. The contrast is striking and instruc tive, between the pageant of to-day and the spec tacle ofthe old man wending his solitary way with tottering step to a distant State, —covered with glory but clad in poverty, surfeited with applause but wanting the means of a decent livelihood, re nowned in history for the exploits of his statesman ship and his valor, but neglected at home in the obscurity of helpess old age. Such are the freaks of fortune—such the capricious gratitude of Repub lics. The associates of the living Montoe in Vir ginia administered no relief to his necessities, but suffered him to subsist in a distant land and upon the bounty of a generous benefactor. A generation passes away, and the ashes of the dead patriot are reclaimed by his native State,with an ostentation ot homage and munificence of expenditure that would have gladdened his soul and alleviated the bur dens ofhis declining years. These posthumous ers, but they attest our own appreciation Oi mc'ptq sonal virtues and public services which are im perishably associated with the name ofJas. Alori roe.—(The. South'). Robert Dale Owen Converted. —The Vincennes (Ind.) Gazette has the following: Private letters from the Hon. Robert Dale Owen U. S. Minister at the Court of Naples,has written to his friends at New Harmony,announcing the grati fying intelligence that he has become converted to the Cbiistian religion. Mr. Owen is well known throughout this State for his scholastic attain ments, but his influence has ever been weakened heretofore by his heterodox views of Christianity. Large Field op Pine Apples.—ln Liberia, a few miles north from Monrova, towards Cape Mount, is a tract of land, ten miles in extent en tirely covered with Pine Apples. The fruit buds out in April and ripens in August and September. It is of a delicious flavor. The apples are taken to Monrovia in considerable quantities, where they are sold as low as two for a cent. Pine Apples grow wild in the woods, and thousands of them are seen in half an hour’s walk. Deacon Briggs.—Old Deacon Briggs was as re markable tor his closeness as was Dickins’ man, Barkis. His name has come to be a proverb in our region for such an economy as ever makes a man the subject of ridicule and contempt. One bitter cold morning a few falls ago, he had the boys drive together all the pigs that were to be fattened for the market, into the little yard just at the cor ner of the house. A pig was caught by one of the youngsters; the Deacon with a pair of pinchers in one hand, and a the other,seizing the unfortunate by the tail, cut it off close up. So on through the whole herd, leaving not a pig with even the stnmp of a tail. Cort, who worked for his grandfather stood by in amazement —hishands in his pockets, his bodv wrapt into a crescent by the cold, his teeth jawing against the outrage with a prodigious clatter. At last he stuttered out: ‘Grandpa! What are you cutlingoff those tails for?’ Sober and solemn wasdeacon Briggs as he said: “You never will be a rich man, for you do not know what it is to be savin. You ought to know, my child, that it takes a bushel of corn to fatten an inch of tail!” A lady tells the following story: I had been out to Indiana on a visit, and while there found a kit ten which I brought home for a plaything for my two children. To prevent any dispute about the ownership otpuss, I proposed, and it was agreed, that the head of the kitten should be mine, that the bodv should be the baby’s, and Eddy, the eldest— but only three years old—should be the sole pro prietor of the long and beautiful tail. Eddy rath er objected at first to this division, as putting him off with an extremely small share of the ani mal, but soon became reconciled to the division, and quite proud of his ownership in the graceful ter minus of the kitten. One day, soon after, I heard the poor puss making a dreadful mewing, and i called out to Eddy: “There, my son, you are hurt ing my part of the kitten, I heard her cry.” “No, I didn’t mother; I trod on my part, and your part hollered /” Discontinued.—The Portsmouth (Va.) Tran script states that it has been found impossible to continue the route from that port to Philadelphia viaSeatord Delaware, in consequence of the ob struction formed by the bar of the Nanticoke river. The line will be discontinued until the bar can be removed and a suitable boat for the route either purchased or built to order. The following bit of quait humor has about as much sound philosophy in it as could well be crowded into so small a space: Bad luck is a man with his hands in his breech es pockets and a pipe in his mouth, looking on to see how it will come. Good luck is a man to meet difficulties, his sleeves roiled up and working to make it come out right. Pat, what are you about?—sweeping out that room V —‘No,’ answered Pat, I am sweep ing out the dirt, and leaving the room.’ From the Union Springs Gazette. We had the pleasure, on Monday and Tuesday last, of paying a flying visit to the city of Column bus, Ga. Business, not pleasure, called us there, and during our short stay we were so occupied with the object of our trip that vve had iittle lime for anything else. We however met with two or three o'd friends and formed a few new acquaintances We did not intend to disturb our editorial breth ren, even with a call, but as we passed the door ofthe Enquirer Office, we just dropped in to shake our old friend Alartin by tfie’ hand, not thinking he would “tell on us.” What was our surprise, the next morning, to find our arrival kindly an nounced in his issue, and furthermore, what less could we do than “take the rounds.” So we in troduced ourself to Air. Colquitt of the Times & Sentinel, and Air. DeWolf, of the Sun, both of whom received us kindly. After spending a few minutes with each, we bid them good-bye, with the hope of a more intimate acquaintance hereafter.— By-the-bye, we thought our office was “some” for litter and confusion. But my the “Sun” and “Gazette” are at quits on that score and the Enquirer has “nothing to brag on. Twelve or fifteen years have wrought a great change in Columbus. It has expanded and im proved manifold in business capacity and in busi ness far beyond our expectations and no doubt when the people from this section become acquaint ed with the business men of Columbus, they will, ere long, become as much attached to that place, as they have heretofore been to Alonlgomery. We cannot close our remarks without saying something of our Rail Road and its very gentle manly Conductor, Robt. Coleman, Esq. Alncli fault has beend found with this road, but consider ing the difficulties encountered and the obstacles to be surmounted, it is doubtful whether many roads in the South can make a better showing.— The engine, “Arnold Seales,” is a splendid one, of sufficient power tor all necessary purposes ofthe road. The cars are small but comfortable and the track in very respectable condition making in time, ordinarily about 18 miles an hour. This Road is emphatically an “institution” for this portion ofthe country and Columbus. We are satisfied, how ever, that very many of the business men of Co lumbus have not yet found it out. They are not aware ofthe importance to her market of this por tion of Alabama. To the gentlemanly Conductor, we return our sincere thanks (or his kind attention to us cm our “outward” and home-bound” trip. Something to Feel Glad About- Sitting in our sanctum, says the editor of the Leavenwortli Times, now some years past, on a cold and blustering autumn day, we were attracted by the entrance of a bright-eyed, thoughtful little boy, but thinly clad, who told the old story of “no father—family sick—out of employment,” &c.— We were at first disposed to express a mock sym pathy, and say we could do nothing; but the boy’s large eyes were so swimming with tears, and he so trembled from head to foot, while his conduct and demeanor bore such an impress of truthfulness and sincerity, that we could not find it in our heart to speak harshly, and finally dismissed him with quite a handsome little sum, contributed in the main by our printers—who, by the way, are proverbial, the world over, for their generosity. The next even ing we were somewhat suprised to find the little fellow once again hanging diffidently about our of fice door. This time, however, his eyes were bright with happiness, and a sweet smile played over and lit up his handsome features. We asked him to come in, but he merely stepped forward timidly, so ns to catch our ear, and earnestly though stut teringly whispered, “Mamma prayed for you last night,” and then disappeared as noiselessly as he had come. Thank God, thought we, for that mother’s pray er ! And though years have passed since then— though we have hustled through noisy incidents, to do—a remembrance oi uia; f.Uji— i you,” still sounds as grateful and as sweet as when it first fell from the lips of that innocent boy. Cotton. The quantity of raw cotton imported into En gland from various places is a highly interesting subject to both the producers and consumers.— We find the following statement in the London correspondence of the National Intelligencer : Imported from — 1843 1857. The United States, lbs ,574.738,529 654.758,018 Brazil 18,675,123 29,910,832 Egypt and Mediterranean coun tries 9,674,076 24,880.144 British East indies ... 65,709,729 250,338,114 British West Indies and Gui ana 1,260,444 1,443,563 Other countries 3,135,224 7,986,160 Totals 673,193,116 969,318,896 The most striking feature of this statement is the very great increase in the produce of cotton in the British possessions in the East Indies. Laughter.—Laughter is not altogether a fool ish thing. Sometimes ihere is even wisdom in it. Solomon himself admits there is a time to laugh, as well as a time to mourn. Man only laughs—man, the highest organized being; and hence the defini tion that has been proposed of “man, a laughing animal.” Certainly, it defines him as well as a “cooking-animal,” a “toil-making animal,” a “mo ney-making animal,” a “political-animal,” or such like. Laughter very often shows the bright side of a man. It brings out his happier nature, and showsof what sort of stuff he is really made.— Somehow we feel as if we never thoroughly know a man until we hear him laugh. We do not feel at home with him tiil then. We do not moan a mere snigger, but a good, round,hearty laugh. The sol emn, sober visage, like a Sunday’s dress, tells nothing of the real many. He may be very silly, or very profound: very cross, or very jolly. Let us hear him laugh, and we can decipher him at once, and tell how his heart beats. We are dis posed to suspect the man who never laughs. At all events, there is a repulsion about him which he cannot get over- Lavater says : “Shun that man who never laughs, who dislikes music, or the glad face of a child.” This is what everybody feels, and none more than children, who are quick at reading characters; and their strong instinct rarely de ceives them.— Blackwood. Dickens.—The London Illustrated News has the following reference to the case of Mr. Chas. Dic kens ; A great author has this week thought it neces sary to appeal in print to his fellow-authors against certain scandals—stupid, foul, and lying enough— which nobody of name believed for a single mo ment. An appeal from such a quarter should not be made in vain; we therefore, (unnecessarily) ac knowledge his appeal, and, knowing his noble na ture—knowing the facts (better still) —appeal to hint in print to forget the follies of malice and en vy, aud rely as before on the well-assured affec tion of his many friends, who know how in capable his nature is of aught that is mean—of aught that is contrary to truth and to his wri tings. And the public (the world) is of our opin ion. Bulwer is separated from his wife, Dickens from his wife, and Charles lleade (of Peg Woffington and white Lies notoriety) is living with another man’s wife. From the days of the poet Job, whose wife was the original Mrs. Caudle, down to So crates and Nantippe, and so on down to Bvron, and finally to Dickens, matrimonial unhappiness has ever attached to literary men.— Exchange pa per. “Our FoREtGN RELATtONs.”—From the London derry (Ireland) Sentinel, May 28th, 1858. Died—On the 3d instant. Mrs. Hemphill,, of Straw, near Newtownstewart, in her 84th year.— She was the eldest daughter of Mr. Win, McFar land,of Leardan, who married Maria, eldest daugh ter of the late Mr. Andrew Buchanan, of Tatty reagh, near Omagh, and ..was first cousin to the Hod. James Buchanan, now President of America. PEYTON H. COiaiTITT, > JAMES W. WARREN. ( E^ors, Number 27 Crops. — Now that the wheat is mostly harvest ed, we are glad to learn that the injury from rust is not so great as was feared. The crop was too for ward, it was stricken by rust and it is thought two thirds of a crop will be secured. The oat crop we are sorry to say is regarded as a total failure. We hear that several horses have been lost by feeding on the rusted oats. Some of our old farmers ha e apprehension of rust in corn. This would be some thing new under the sun but so is rust in oats.— 1 he corn meantime looks well and promising as need be. — Marietta Advocate. Crops. We take the following extract from a private letter of a friend in Pulaski county : “The prospect of the crops in this county has never been in all my knowledge, more flattering than the present. 1 have heard from all parts of the county, and all encouraging. I was in company with a gentleman yesterday, (that is an old citi zen,) and he says he has never seen a brighter prospect. Even on the poor pine lands the crops seem to be astonishingly good. Tho same report will embrace Houston. Dooly, Laurens, Wilkinson and i wiggs, and, as lar as my knowledge extends, the rams seem to hold out good with them all. I he health ot the above named counties is good, with but few exceptions.”—Wire Grass Reporter, June ‘JOth. A Remarkable Occurrence. —We find the fol lowing in an exchange: A few nights since a United States soldier, bound with his company for Leavenworth, Kansas, acci dentally fell off the railroad bridge, at Harper’s Jerry, into the Potomac river, a distance of thirty feet. The night being dark, the soldier came out ot the car and walked off the platform upon what he supposed to lie the ground, untii he found him selt in chaos. When lie struck the water his hat floated down the stream,and when the soldier blew the water hum Ins mouth, instead of making im mediately for shore, he swam after his beaver, caught it, and paddled towards shore without a scratch. This leaf astonished ali who witnessed it, and created a tremenduous excitement. Heavy Dental Operation. —One day last week, a dentist named Alorse volunteered to extract all teeth needing extraction from the boys of the Bal timore House of Refuge. He drew out two hun dred and fiity. The boys bore the operation as coolly as they would pick a pocket. A Just Sentence.— At the recent term of the Circuit Court cl’ Montgomery county, a man by the name ot Watson was tired three hundred and fifty dollars for whipping his wife ; and another man by the name of My rick was fined five hundred dollars for not clothing his negroes. In both of these cases we say the sentence was just. We know nothing ot the tacts in the case, but from the heavy line imposed we are inclined to think it was very ag gravated. Good Humor.— Keep in Good humor. It is not many great calamities that embitter existence; it is the petty vexations, small jealousies, the little dis nppointorents, the minor miseries, that make the heart heavy and the temper sour. Don’t let them Anger is a pure waste of vitality; it is always fool ish and always disgraceful, except in a few very rare eases, when it is kindled by seeing wrong done to another; and even that noble rage seldom mends the matter. Keep in good humor. No man does his best except when he is cheer ful. A light heart makes nimble hands, and keeps the mind fair and alert. No misfortune is so great as one that sours the temper. Until cheeifulness is lost, nothing is lost! Keep in good humor. The company of a good humored man is a per petual feast, he is welcomed every where—eyes glisten at bis approach, and difficulties vanish in ins presence. Franklin’s indomitable good humor wisdom with smiles"’ anof “soVfeneH' l minds into acquiescence. Keep in good humor. A good conscience, a sound stomach, a clean skin, are the elements of good humor! Get them and keep them, and—be sure to keep in a good humor. Can’t Please Old Alaids.— The editor of a country paper, having been taken to task by a female correspondent for noticing Dr. Hall’s receipt to prevent ladies from taking cold, viz: “to keep the mouth shut?”.—hits back as follows: “Wo never could make ourselves popular with old maids. Do what we would—sqeeze ’em be hind the door, which they dearly love—flatter ’em on the sofa—dance with ’em at parties—take ’em to sleigh rides, and treat ’em to ice cream, oys lers, kisses—in short attend ever so gallant to all their wants, save making them a direct offer—and the moment our back was turned they would turn to and show their teeth, (false ones of course,) Well, hope deferred tnaketh the heart sick, and vve can’t blame ’em.” Bennett ofthe New York Herald calls his oppo nents “thin-skinned.” If they had been horse whipped as often as he, probably their hides would have become as thick as his.— Prentice. Money Making.—l think it is a rule that men in business should not be taught other things. Any one may be almost sure to make money who has no other idea in his head. A college education, or intense study of an abstract truth, will not enable a man to drive a baigain, to overreach another,or even to guard himself from being overreached, As Shakspeare says “to have a good face is the effect of study,but reading and writing comes by nature” so it might be argued, that to be a knave is the gift of fortune, but to play the fool to advantage, it is necessary to be a learned man. The best politicians are not those who are deep ly grounded in mathematical or ethical science.— Rules stand in the way of expediency. Many a man has been hindered from pushing his fortune in the world by an early cultivation of his moral sense, and has repented it at leisure during the rest of his life. A shrewd man said of my father, that he would not send a son of his to school to him on any account, for that, by teaching him to speak the truth, he would disqualify him from getting a living in the world.— Hazlitt. A Knowing Beggar.—A begger posted himself at the door of the Chancery Court, and kept say ing, “A penny, please! Only one penny, sir, before you go in.” “And “why, my man I” inquired an old country gentleman. “Because sir, the chances are you will not have one when you come out,” was the beggar’s reply. A teacher had been explaining to his class the points of the compass, and all were drawn up in front, toward the north. ‘Now, what’s before you, John ?” ‘The north, Sir.’ ‘And what behind you, Tommy?’ ‘My, coat-tail,’said he, trying at the same time to get a glimpse of it. Good Hits.—ln the trial of Jim Lane at Law rence, Kansas, for the murder of Jenkins, the At torneys indulged in a good deal of pungent wit and sarcasm. One little pass between the counsel was so pointed and opportune that it is worthy of note: Col. Young insisted that in law, the man slain is supposed to be wrongfully slain. Mr. Coe—That is the law of England, not of America. Col. Young—ls there is any book on God’s earth that contains any other doctrine. I’ll agree to eat it without greasing! (Laughter.) Mr. Coe—Then you’ll have more law in your stomach than you ever had in your head. (Roars of laughter.) An Irishman who was very near-sighted, about to fight a duel, insisted that he should stand six paces nearer his antagonist than the other did to him, and that they were both to fire at the same time.
