Summerville _ has the en tiro country been thus favored with such enor mous quantities of corn, as the yield of the present crop, and away f om the thoroughfares there is no means of consumption except in fat ting stock. The increase of hogs is so rapid and the favorable condition of corn crap has been so encouraging all through the summer, that there can be no good reason given why an abundance of hogs will not be fatted and a bet ter quality of bacon offered than of late years. Our information from the upper counties con- fiimi us in this opinion. . Very little is said as yet of prices or contracts In this section. It is too eariy for Tennessee or Kentucky, but when the cold mouths will testily the operations, we are assured that mod erate rates will characterise the market. The present prices for bacon are beyond its intrinsic worth when compared with the pres ent prices of fresh beef and pork in market.— We buy the choice parte of beef and pbik at 7 and 8 cents per pound. In bnying fresh meat we have very little waste and the immediate consumption prevents loss. {Suppose we pay 12 or IS cento fotthacon, we must throw away aad lose portions of tho purchase which will leave the. balance used on the table costing 18 to 20 cento per pound. Those who will exam ine into this subject will find this to be the true calculation. This price of bacon then when re garded with the rates for fresh meats will not justify, it is not worth it sad the poor can do better than to bay it. These remarks, however, are gratuitous and were not what wo desired chiefly to say, but to reflect the real condition of our State, to supply bacon the present fall. We base oor views upon what we bear and do not think they are far from the truth.— Chat tanooga Adcertiter. 3ST Price 25 and eO cents, and flperbottie.

The undersigned A You56 Max's Character.—No young man who baa just sense of his own value, will sport with his own character. A watchful re gard to his character in early youth, will be of ineoneeivable value to him in all the remaining yean of bis fife. When tempted to deviate from strict propriety of deportment, he should ask himselC can 1 afford this ? Can I endure here after to look back upon this ? It is amazing worth to a young man to have a pure mind; for this is the foundation ofa pure character. The mind, in order to be kept pure must be employed in topics of thought which are themselves lovely, chastened, and eleva- iting. Thus the mind hath in its own power the selection of its themes of meditation. If yotife only knew bow durable and how dismal is tits injury produced by the indulgence of de grading thoughts; if they ooly realised bow frightful, were the moral depravities which a cherished habit of loose imagination produces on the soul—they would shun them as the bite of a serpent. The power of books to exeite the imagination is a fearful element of moral death when employed in the service of vice. The cultivation of an amiable, elevated, and glowing heart, alive to all the beauties of na ture and all the sublimities of truth, invigorates 4be intellect, gives to the will independence of -baser passions, find to the affections that pow er of adhesion to whatever is pore, and good and grand, which is adapted to lead out the whole haters of oan into those scenes of action and impression by which its energies may be most appropriately employed, aod by which its high destination may be most effectually reach ed.—Albany Patriot. Washington ox Religious Proscription.— -“If I could have entertained the slightest ap prehension that the Constitution framed at the Convention where I had the honor to preside •nrigfatyoMibly endanger the religions rights of apyeoeietiastieal society, certainly I would nev- erhsvefvlaeed my rignttnre to it; and if I could not oooeeivo that .the General Govern ment-might even be so administered as to ren der tbs liberty of conscience Insecure,'I beg you will be pensoaded that no one would be more aealoos than myself to establish effectual barri ere against (he horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every speeies of religions persecution; for yon doubtless remember, I have to (ten expressed my sentiments that any man conducting himself as a good citizen, And'being accountable to God alone for his religions opinioh, ought to be pro tected worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience."-- Wathington. Deal Gently with the Berixg.—That man possesses an extremely lew and grovelling mind who rqjoieec at the downfall of another. A no* hie heart, instead ef denouncing as a consum mate scoundrel, one who has erred, will throw around him the mantle of charity and the firms of love, and labor to bring him back to duty and to God. We are not our own keepers.— Who knows when we shall so fur forget ourselves fie to put forth aright band and sin. Heaven keeps ns in the narrow path. Bat, if ws should fail, where would bo the end of onr course; if in ovary face ws saw a frown, and on every brow we read vengeance; deeper and deeper won id we descend in tbs path of infamy; when if * different spirit vara manifested towards ns, w« might base stayed our career of sin end died an nprigbtand honest man. Deal gently with those who go astray. Draw them book by love and persuasion, a kind word is more valua ble to the lost then a mins of gold. Think of this and be on year guard, ye who would -chase to the confines of tits grave an erring and nnfoittmate brother. We all have some frailty— Wo all are nnwise— And the grace which redeems us, Must come from the skies.

It mav seem right to man to neglect paying Ms debts, for the sake of lending or speculating upon his money; bat the end thereof, is a bad paymaster. It may teem right to a man to attempt to live upon the fashion of tho times; but tho end thereof, Is—disgusting to all sensible folks, and ruinous to health, repulsion and propriety. It may seem right to a man to keep borrow ing of his neighbors; bat the end thereof, is— the total negleet of his own. It may seem right to a man to be always trumpeting his own fame, bat the end thereof Is—that bis fame don’t extend very far. It may seem right to a man to indulge his children in every thing, but the end thereof, is —his children will indulge iu dishonoring him. It may seem right for a man to attempt to please everybody; but the end thereof, is—that he pleases nobody, It may seem right to a man to exoel his nigh bo rs in extravagance and luxury; but the end thereof, is—be only excels them in folly. It may seem right to a man to be ineesssant- ly oeeupied In hoarding up the treasures of this world; but the end thereof, is—he has none in the world to eome. It may seem right to a man to worship a creature more than than the Creator, but the end thereof is an idolitor. It may seem right to a man not to take a newspaper; hut the end thereof, is—that a man has a vain idea of what is right, and bis fami ly are totally ignorant of the ordinary occur renees of the day. A retired cheesemonger, who hated any allusion to the business that enriched him, once remarked to Charles Lamb, in the course of a disussion on the poor law, "You must bear in mind sir, that I have got rid of all that stuff which you poets call the milk of. human kind ness.” Lamb looked at him steadily, and gave him acquiescence in those words: "Yes, sir, lam aware of that; you turned it into cheese several years ago. So you are going to qualify the Governor?" said Mrs. Partington, as she reached over the railing in the Senate chamber, and addressed the member who sat nearest to her. He assen ted. "Well.” said she, with a proud look at the Bennington drum and gun./‘I think it would have been a good deal better if you had seen that he was qualified aforehand.” There was a wisdom equal to four of Webster’s compre hensive Dietiouaries that said this. The WtKTER or the Heakt.— Let it never eome upon you. Live so that good angels may prococt yon from this terrible evil—the winter of the heart.

Your life path may lead you through trials which for a time seem utterly to impede your progress and shutout every light of heaven from your anxious gase. Penury may take the piece of ease and plenty; your luxurious room—the soft couch for a straw pallot—the rich viands for the oourae food of the poor. Summer friends may forsake you, with scarcely a look or word of compassion. You may be forced to toil wearily, steadily on to earn a livelihood; you may encounter fraud and the base avarice this would extort the last farthering, till you well nigb turn in disgust from your fellow beings.

Jerusalem slept as quietly amid her Iritis as a child upon the breast of its mother. The noiseless sentinel stood like a statute at bis post, and the philosopher’s lamp burned dimly in the recess of bis chamber. Buta darker night was abroad upon the earth. A moral darkness involved the nations in its unligbted shadows. Reason shed a faint glim mering over the minds of men, like the cold in efficient shining of a distant star. The immor tality of man’s spiritual nature was unknown bis relations to heaven undiscovered, and his future deathly obscured In a cloud-of mystery. It was at tbU period that two forms of either- ial mould hovered over the land of God’s chos en people. They seemed like sister angels sent to earth on some embassy of love. The one was of majestic stature, and in tbe well-formed limbs, which her snowy drapery hardly concealed, in her erect bearing and steady eye, exhibited tbe highest degreo of strength apd confidence. Her right arm was extended m an impressive gesture upwards where night appeared to have placed her dark est pavillion, while on he left reclined her del icate companion in form and countenance the contrast of the other, for she was droping like a flower, wbeb moistened by refreshing dews, and ner bright bnt troubled eye scan ned the air with ardent but varying glances. Sud denly a light like tbe sun flashed out from the heavens, and Faith and Hope bailed with exult ing songs the ascending 8tnr of Bethlehem. Years rolled away, and tbe stranger was seen in Jerusalem. He was a meek unassuming man, whose happiness seemed to consist in acts of benevolence to tbe human race. There were deep traces of sorrow on his countenance, though' no one knew why.be grieved, for he lived in the practice of every virtue, and was loved by ail the good and wise. By and by it was rumored that the stranger worked miracles; that the blind saw, tbe dumb spoke, and tbe dead leaped the ocean moderated its ebafting tide, and the very thunders articulated, he is tbe son of God. Bnry assailed biro with the tbe charge of eoreev ry end the voice of tbe impious judges condemn - ed bim to death. Slowly and thickly guarded, he ascended tbe hitl of Calvary. A heavy cross bent him to tbe essth. Bat Faith learned up- oh Ms arm, and Hope dipping pinions in bis Mood, mounted to the skies.

Let it be considered well: The past it secure. It is uualterable. The seal of eternity is upon it- The wisdom which it has displayed eaonot be obscured; neither oan they be debased by haman folly - or human infirmity. The future is that which may well awaken the most earnost solieitude, both for the virtue and the permanence of our Republio. The fate of other Republios, their rise, tbeir progress, ther decline and their fall, are written but too legibly on the pages of history, if indeed they were not oontinually before us in the star tling fragments of their ruins. They have perished, and perished by their own bands. Prosperity enervated them,-cor ruption debased them, and a venal populace consummated their destruction. They have sometimes been cheated out of their liberties by servile demagogues; sometimes betrayed into a surrender of them by. false patriots.— They hare disregarded the warning voice of tbeir best statesmen, and have persecuted and drivoo from office their best friends. - They have reverenced power more in Us high abuses ands uminary movements, than in its calm and constitutional energy. They have surrendered to facion what belonged to tho country.—Pat ronage and party, the triumph of a leader, and the’disoon tents of a day, have outweighed all solid principles and institutions of government Such are the melancholy lessons of the past bistoty of republics, down to our own. Let tbe history of tho Grecian and Italian States warn ns of onr danger. Let the American yonth never forget that they possess a noble inberiteuce, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of tbeir ancestors, and capable, if wisely Improved and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoy meot of liberty, property, religion, and inde pendence. The structure has .been erected by architects of consummate skill- and fidelity; its arrangements are full of wisdom and order; its foundations solid, and its defences are impreg nable from without. It has been reared for im mortality, if the work of man may justly aspire to such a title. It may, nevertheless, perish in an hour by the felly, or corruption, or negli gence of its only keepers—the People. Repub lics are created by the virtue, publie spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when tbe wise ate banished from the pnblie councils, because they dare to be honest, and tbe profligate are rewarded because they flatter tbe people in order to betray them. The Farmers 8»ng. Success to tbe jolly old farmer Who sings at tbe tail of the plow, The monarch of prairie and forest, ’Tis only to God be may bow. He is surely a fortunate fellow; He raises his bread and his cheese; And though hard is his labor in summer, In winter he lives at his ease. When tbe ruin of winter is broken, And spring comes to gladden and bless, When the flocks in the meadow are sporting. And tbe robbin is building her nest, The farmer walks forth to bis labor, And manly and firm in his tread. As he scatters the seed for the harvest. That yields to tbe nations their bread. His banks are all chartered by nature, Tbeir credits are-all ample and sure; His clerks never slope with deposits, Pursued by tbe curse of the poor, His stocks are toe best in the market; His shares are the shares of bis plow; They bring bright gold to t is coffers, And pleasure and health to bis brow. When his crops are gathered and sheltered, When hiseattle are snug in the fold; He sits himself down by the fireside And Wnghs at tbe tempest and cold, . A stranger to pride and ambition, His duty he tries to fulfill. Determined whatever betide him. To let tbe world jogfis it will. His trust is in Him who has given The seasons the sunshine and rain, Who has promised "seed time and harvest," So long as the earth shall remain; And if from his duties he wander, Led on by venturesome will, Through life and its changing relations, God’s providence follows him stilL Beautiful Tribute to a Wife.—Sir James McIntosh, tbe historian was married in early life, before he attained fortune or fame, to Miss Catharine Stuart,« young Scotch lady, distin guished more for the excellence of her charac ter than her charms. After eight years of hap py wedded life, during which time she became the mother offeree children, she died. A few days after her - death, fee bereaved hnsband wrote to a friend, depicting fee character of his wife in fee following terms: "I was gnided (he observed) in my choice on ly by the blind affections of my-yonth. 1 found an intelligent companion and a tender friend, a prudent raonitress, the most faithful of wives, and a mother as tender as children ever had the misfortune to lose. I met a woman, who by the tender management of my weaknesses, grad ually corrected tbe most pernicious of them.— She became prudeiftfroro affection ; and though of tbe most generous nature, she was taught frugality and economy by her love for me. Du ring the most critical period in my life, she pre served order in my affairs from fee care of which she relieved me. She gently reclaimed me from dissipation; she propped my weak and irresolute nature; she urged my indolence to all the exertions that have been useful and cred itable to me, and she was perpetually at hand to admonish my heedlessness or improvidence. To her 1 owe whatever I am ; to her whatever I *hall he. In solioitudo for my interest she nev er for a moment forget my feelings or my char acter. Even in her occasional resentment for which I bnt too often gave her cause, (wonld to God I could recall those moments!) she had no sullenness nor acritdbny. Her feelings were warm and impetuous; but she was placa ble, tender and constant. Sncb was she when Host her, when her excellent natural sense was rapidly improving, after eight years struggle and distress had bound us fast together, and moulded our tempers to each other; when a knowledge of her worth bad refined my youth ful love into friendship, and before age had de prived it of much of its original ardor. I lost her, alas ! tbe choice of my youth, fee partner of my misfortunes at a moment when I bad fee prospect of her sharing my bettor days."—Home Journal. Vultures.—A letter from the Crimea tells the following tale: "Vultures are very nume rous in the Crimea. They smell the powder and await tho coming of the fight to throw themselves on tbeir victims. After one of the reeent combats an English officer was found on the battle-field who bad just expired, pressing in both his arms one of these birds of prey dead, like himself, and which be nad crushed in a lost effort of agony!” Payment of Intehest by the United States.— The Washington Union has fee fol lowing from the Attornoy General’s office: 1. As a general rule, fee United States do not pay interest on any debts of the Gororn- rnent, 2. The only exceptions are where fee Govern ment stipulates to pay interest, as in public loons, and where interest is given by act of Congress expressly, either by tbe name of in terest or by that of damages, 8. Acts of Congress authorizing tbe settle ment of claims according to “equity" or “equi ty and justice," do not give interest; for, ns between private individuals, there la do mate rial difference in this respeot between equity The kune Expedition-TUUIlug Adven ture. Some of the episodes encountered during Dr. Kane’s search, bare wild interest At one time it berame necessary to send a fatigue party wife precisions, to assist tbe main-part? under Dr. Kane, in an attempted passa^h across Smith's Sound. This party was under the command of Mr. Brooks, first officer of tbe ex pedition. He was accompanied by Mr. Wilson and other volunteers. During their travel they found fee lee completely impenetrable, and a snow drift at last swept widely over fee floes, and in the n idst of a heavy gale from tbe North, the thermometer, to their dieraay, sunk to fifty seven degrees below «ero. Human na ture could not sopport the terrible cold. Four of the party, ineluding Mr. Brooks and Mr. Wilsoc, were prostrated with frozen feet, and wife great difficulty, three of their companions, after encountering great suffering reached the ship and announced the condition of tbeir com rades. Tbeir chances of being- rescued seemed extremely small. They were in the midst of a wilderness of snow, incapable of motion, pro tected only by a canvas tent, and with no land marks by which their position conld bo known. Even to drag these maimed men wonld have been under ordinary circumstances, a work of difficulty; but to the slender party left at the ebip, it seemed to be impossible. Dr. Kane, with fee boldness and courage which justified fee warm attachment felt towards him by all nnderbis command, in less than one bonr or ganized a rescuing party, leaving on board only those who were necessary to receive the sick, and started off in the teeth of a terrific gale, steering by compass to rescue fee sufferers. After nineteen hours’ constant travel, during which two of fee party fainted, and others re quired to be kept from sleep by foree, they struck the trail of fee lost party, and finally, staggering nnder ther hardens, one by one reached fee tent, which was almost hidden by fee snow. Tbe scene, as Dr. Kane entered fee tent, wae affecting beyond description. The party burst out into tears. A blabber fire was 1m mediately built; pemmican cooked, and •be par ty ate for tho first time after leaving the vesseL Ice was also melted, they having been to this time without drink.—Worn out as they were, bnt foor hours were ollowed for fee halt The maimed of the frozen party were sewed op in Buffalo robes, placed on sledges and dragged along by their companions, Dr. Kane walking in advance pioking the traek.—Cold of the nt most severity again overtook them. Bonsall and Morton, and oven tbe Esquimaux boy, Hance, sunk upon fee snow with sleep. It was only by force that they were aroused and made to proceod, as the cold seemed to have destroyed all conception of danger. A large bear, met on their way, was fortunately seared off by Dr. Kane, by tho simple wavingof bis band, T ey reached the ship after a walk of sixty-two boars, still dragging tbeir companions behind them, but insensible.—Dr. Hays, the intelli gent snrgeon of fee ship, from whom we ob- taned the particulars of this fearful adventure, received the returning party. Two of fee Bom ber died of tbeir injaries, and two others un derwent amputation, who are now restored to perfect health. The condition of those who dragged the sick was most lamentable. Their memory for a time was entirely gone, and tbe ship, in the midst of muttering <telirinm:resem bled an hospital. Tbe surgeon and one re maining attendant was in sole charge of the ship. In this state of semi madness tbe sick remained for two or three days, but afterwards they entirely tecovered, and tbe party under Mr. Kane started ferae weeks afterwards and resumed their labors in fee field. Intrepidity like this, has never been surpass ed. It is spoken of wife emotion, even now, by fee utmost hearts in fee expeditin. Unpremeditated Eloquence.—As an exam ple of powerful unpremeditated, eloquence may be given a short answer of Curran, fee Irish orator, to a certain Judge Robinson-—“fee an- thorof many scurrilous pamphlets”—who npofi one occasion, when the barrister was argning a case before bim, had fee impudence to re proach Curran for bis poverty, by telling him that his law library was rather contracted." "It is true, my lord,” said Curran, wife dig nified respect, ‘that 1 am poor: and tbe eir-. cumstanee has certainly somewhat curtailed my library; my.books are not numerous, but they are Jttlect, and I hope they bare been perused with proper disposition. I have prepared my self for this high profession, rather by fee study of a few good books, than by fee composition of a great many bad ones. I am not ashamed of my poverty, but I should be ashamed of my wealth, could I have stooped to acquire it by servility and corruption- If I rise not to rank, I shall at least be honest, and should I ever cease to be so, many an example show me that an ill-gained reputation, by making me con spicuous, would only make me fee more univer sally and the more deservedly contemptible: Lynchburg and Tennessee AtLRoAn We are gratified to learn feat this road- had been opened to Mount Airy, and that the cars commenced running to that place yesterday. It is distant from Lynchburg 146 miles. The track is laid seven miles further, and will be completed to Marion, Smyth county, early in December. This is drawing on towards the western terminus, which is about forty miles from Marion. The embankment is, however, constructed for the whole distance, and very' little remains to be done save fee. laying of the rails. When tbe road is completed to the Ten nessee line, a great aocession to its business will promptly follow.—Richmond Ditpatch. Scarcity of Hogs.—While fee grain crop has been unprecedentedly large—tbe yield of wheat alone being 76,000,000 bushels over feat of last yoar— there appears to be an alarming falling off from the usual supply of hogs. On the Erie Canal, the great recipient of trade from the North West, while tbe receipts of all other kinds of produce are greatly in advance of last year, there has been a failing off of near one half in articles of pork, bacon, and lard. By a recent census of Ohio there has beep shown a decrease of 400,000 hogs from the numper of last year, and pork was selling freely at $6 00 net- The defeoti?n of the usual sup ply of hogs it woold appear, may bo, principal ly attributable to the shortness of the crops for lost season, when nntnbrs of hogs were slaugh tered, which would not otherwise have been, to save the expense of feeding them.—Atlanta Intelligencer. ists t<> purchase hogs for early delivery, and . sales have been made within the week at $6 29 per ewt. for November delivered, and now hol ders ask $9 35. For December delivery, we bejzr of no transactions—holders ask $6, and purchases could not be made below this rate. The stock of old Pork and Bacon in this mar ket is very small-, and before fee new comes hr, will be entirely exhausted, j This will be fee .case, it is supposed, in ail fee leading markats; and this consideration; together wife tbe advi- ces from England by the Iasi steamer, leads to fee conclusion that high rates will be-obtained for all fee meat brought into fee market eariy. Contracts are being made in Indiana at $9 59 S >r ewt net, for deliveiy to the latter part of eeember and fee first of Jannaiy, and in Illi nois at $5. . The packers are paying $4 60 per ewt. net for good beeves, but they are mostly held at $9 76, bat at this rate are freely offered for eariy delivery.—Cincinnati'Price Current 26th vlL Who abb our Teachers.—From Nature map derives everything.

The tax on wood alone appears to be purely a human invention. Cotton Crop in Alabama.—A correspon dent of the Pratmlle Statesman (who seems to have peculiar facilities of obtaining informa tion ou the subject) says: I have recently made a tour through Lown des, Dallas, Wilcox, Monroe, Conecuh, and Butler counties. The erap is generally good— bettor than an average, except m Conecuh; that county hardly an average. In other por-f, tions of this State, our agents report favorably.'

One voter to every seven inhabitants is fee admitted ratio, which gives to Alabama the on paralleled and incredible in crease of 150,000 since fee last election, and that too, notwithstanding fee immense emigra tion to Texas and elsewhere. Does any man honestly believe sncb an Increaso legitimate, or that it exists in fact? For one, we anwer, emphatically, we do not. Nor do we believe feat fee .30,009 increase in fee voting popula tion of Virginia except from a like suspicion. —Flag of the Union, Sept. 14. .

An Extended Statement.—An old gentle man who bad a neighborhood rather addieted to telling large stories after listenning ond day to several wbieh taxed his credulity, boasted feat be himself conld tell a bigger one still, aad proceeded to relate fee following: Said be, “One day I was quite at fee other end of my farm, niore than half a mile from my honse, when all at once I saw a dark cloud rising in fee west.
