Happy indeed ara those whose in tercourse with the world has not changed the holler feeling, or broken those musical cords of the bean, whose vibrations ara so melodious, so tender and touching, in the evening of age! Correspondence of the American Organ. KATORALnATiox.—Amidst the many anbjeots which ara daily, and almost- hourly claiming the public eye and voice, this, perhaps the most portentous In its shape, the grandest and most comprehensive in its results, has received, in comparison with Its magnitude, little attention. The contempfoave mind ri font in Wonder that a question involving the great cardinal princi ples -of onr institutions, and the very vitality of the Union itself should have Slumbered so long and in reckless* defiance have hugged to our ;be«KB thqy whose vow of aUegi&nce was false, and whose principles were ever averse to our cherished and venerated laws. That this sapiae- ness has been the result of an overweening confidence, and not attributed to« weak and imbecile age—as a first glance would almost 'lead yen to suppose—is, I think, conclusive, when we regard the tardy, thongh effectual measures, which a nation, rising in strength now demands. Upon such a platform there can be no half way measures. The cancer mast be tent oat— It may mangle, and perhaps mar the symmetry of the body, destroys its once graceful outline, and leave the remains of the cicatrix, hat its virnJance will bare gone, and is tho asylum thua guarded bj a free and victorious people, forget In renewed vigor that impotence ever existed. la former- days; when statesmen cl rimed tho privilege of free thought and un checked action; when political chicanery was, if known, diaeountenanced by honorable men; when the refined and oeoomplished gentleman took bis ?eat in our legislative halla with other thongh to than that he was a hireling, or to make out $ handsome income, waa content to pros* titnte bis talents and his good faith to ignoble causes. - In these days, Isay, the foreigner was held in wholesome cheek, and these days were mar ked, too r by liberality, and distinguished ability. There was patriotism, too. They who bad shielded-with the risk of life their altars and their firesides; carried with them to the coun cil chamber a stern determination to hold them untarnished. They who regarded the soil yet Veeking with the blood of kinsman, companion, ank frtebd, who bad borne the burden of the contest, felt privileged to guard their lofty hopes, by strict and even severe laws, arguing with comprehensive sagacity that too ranch severity .mss for bettor than to leave an opening by which interested and dishonest men would aVail themselves of. If, then, we regard the spirit with which onr laws, the frank and liberal ccnrtesy which, while it invited emigration, claimed the right of securing itself against those adventurer* and badly disposed men wbosongbt In our anion only s less dangerous field for their nefarious and devilish designs. If then we regard with the proper respect the actions’of those venerable and disinterested men, if We can believe" that a life of devotion and sacrifice to the cause of liberty rendered them superior to their kind; if, we can with reverence abcept the almost inspired pages ban- ded down to ua, it behooves us to give this sub ject a careful and timely consideration, to make it an^ essential ingredient to where we place political eonfidenee, and to have every man Who seeks our support proclaim from the house tops that the children of the soil take precedence of the foreign convict and felon, N.

No rash intruder ern touch it, We love it so reverently with the old Bible, that we eonld’do any desperate deed to proteot both! It is both happily and truly said, that “ The music of happy, voices encircling onr firesides sad’ our tables—the smile of greeting—the sympathy in sorrow—tho nameless little kibd- nessee that sparkle off from the altar of family affsetion—the unwearied watrbing of the sick chamber—and the soft arm ef latest devotion, wbieb sooth and sustains os, and aids us to loan securely upon the rod and staff, which ififor alone can eomfort ns through the shadow ;*all these are but the responsive blessing to that love, and care, and gentleness, which we have shows fn odr households—the natural reward of atone domestic morality." True, every word!

Hera Is a beautiful thought of fbat strange compound of 8eoteb shrewdness, strong com mon sense, and German mysticism, of, uncom mon sense—Thomas Carlyle: "When I gase into the stars, they look down upon me with pity from their serene tad silent space, like eyes glistening with tears, orer little iot of men. ^Thousands of generations.-all as noisy *s our own, have been swallowed by time, and thero'remains no record of them any more, yet Arctoros and Orion, Sirius and the Pleiades are still shining in their course* clear and youpg take no small odds that in three months time it will have been published in half the newipa- pere in the conntoy : Aquatic Soexery.—During the hardest of the atorm the day before yesterday we took a lounge down to the steamboat landing. While standing on the brinlwof a deep gully that emp tied its torrent of water into the bayou, our at tention was attracted to the bottom of tbegully where a drunken loafer was stemming the tor rent and holding, on to a root fast anchored in the bank. Thepobr fellow, not knowing any one was near him, was combatting! his fete man folly, and in calculating bis chances of es cape, gave ntteranoe to the following : "Hayut this a orfnl sftivation to be. placed in, Ifl^ was a steamboat, a rail,, or a woodpile I’d be better worth fifty cents on the dollar than I’ll ever be again. Unless Ifqa * gone cose now there bay n’t any troth in phrenology. I’ve weighed ail the chances tike a gineral, and only two that bears in my favor; : the first is a skunk- hole to erawl into, snd. the second, a special in terposition of Providence; and the best ebance of the two is. to slim, if I only had the chance I’d give the premium for the skunk hole—them’s my sentiments. If I could be a mink, or a musk rat, or ■ water snake forabont two months per haps I would mount the first step t’other side of the Bio, and flap my wings and crow orer pre cious life, scientifically preserved. But what’s the use boldin’ on this root? There hayn’t no skunk hole in these diggina—the water is get ting taller about a feet, and if my nose was as long as infinity it wouldn’t stick out much long- er. "Ob, Jerry! Jerry! you’re a gone sucker, and I guess your inarm don’t know-joa’reout; poor woman! won’t sbe c>y the glasses oat of ber spectacles when she bean that dartin’ Jerry has got the whole of the Bnfferlo Bio for his coffin? What a pity ’tia some philanthropic, or member of the bom&n society, never had fore sight enough to build a house across this gutter, with a steam engine to keep out the water! If they had done it in time, they might have had the honor and gratification of saving the life of a feller bein j but its all day with you, Jerry! and a big harbor to cast anchor in. It’s too bad to go off in this orfnl manner, when they knows I oilers hated water ever since I was big enough to know ’twant whisky.” . Before Jerry got to the conclusion he was washed into the bayon, within a few feet of a large flat that had jnst started for the steamboat. Bis eye caught the prospect of deliverance, and he changed the burden of his dirge into a thrill ing cry of "heave to! passenger overboard and unking with a belt full of specie!—the man who saves me makes bis fortune •” Jerry was fished oat by a darkey, And to show his grattitude in vited Qnashey to “go up to the groggery and liquor.” , The Aspinwall Courier furnished the follow ing Information relative to the whereabouts of General Santa Anna: "Santa Anna and family are safely installed in and near Cartbragena. Onr readers are aware that he has a beautiful residence but a few miles distant from Carthagena. His hacienda was under good cultivation two years ago, when hO left it at this call of his partisans in Mexico, He now returns to private life for the third time, and we presume the little pueblo of tobac co must have strong attractions to induce him to locate his retirement there a second time, after his exciting and varied career. During his former residence at Tobago, his style of liv ing and bis hospitality were liberal even to pro- fuseness, and his cordial welcome astonishes many a Sojourner of various nationalities and oj different religions and political creeds. He Was the general benefactor of a large neighbor hood, and gave considerable attention to the vicinity,” Scarcity of.Horses nr Europe,—A corns pondentof the Spirit of the Times, writing from Paris under date of May 31st., remark son the state of the London horse market as follows:— "Ladies’ saddle horse- are not to be had, neith er are carriage herses, which will surprise you. In thirteen days ! search I could not find a de cent pair for Sale at any price. If this war lasts another year, the Europeans will be importing horses from America, and it wonid be well worth the attention of onr farmers and breeders to raise large horses, fit to draw a heavy carriage, or carry a heavy man. Good saddle horses for gentlemen are still to be found by paying for them; a first rate one stands $300.” A Utica (N.,Y.) paper states that a gentleman is now in that city purchasing carriage and saddle horses for the Paris market— Wool Oroteer. Ahxual Sessions.—The question of a re turn to Annual Sessions, wllthe brought to the And npon th Ia subject we find some excellent consideration of our Senators and Ropresenta- yfews, in an article of tho "Life Illustrated:”— lives, soon to oonvono at the Capital. So far. ) ,, No ODe wi il dispute tb* assertion, that tho wo have seen or hiard hut ooo expression of O i,j oc t 0 f education is to prepare pupils for tile opinion t.pon this subject, and that is decidedly efficient discharge of th# duties of life. The in favor of the ,en y car " P tt8t » I’firs! question Is, What are tho duties which the we hnve tried tho - biennial plan, snd _we con- j „j r | 8 0 f an expensive or fashionable school will j"bo called upon to discharge when they hare aider, that it has wholly failed to produce tho benefits which its friends expected. it to yield at the time it Was adopted. Tho loading argu ment in its favor was economy in the public expenses. For one or two sessions, this end was partially attained, but in the course of a few years, the objects of legislation had accu mulated so rapidly, that it became necessary to protract the session of the Legislature to twine their usual length, and tho expenses were run np to nearly tho same amount as when tho Legislature met annually. Tho interests of the people of Georgia have been multiplied to such a vast extent, and beoome to much di versified in comparison to wbat .thqy once were, that subjects demanding legislative action, are rising np every day, and many of these must inevitably suffer on account of the long term now intervening between the sessions of the Legislature. Besides this, it is, in our opinion, vetry meet and proper, that tho acts of our pub- Ho functionaries should pass in- review before the Representatives of the people, once in twelve months. It is an old. but true maxim, that “short settlements mnko long friends.” This is true when applied to individuals, and equally true when appliod to the people and their pubtio servants. If it is objected that a return to annual sessions wqnld involve, the people in trouble and loss of time, by having annual elections, then let the members elect holdover, as at presont, for .two years, but moot annually, and confine their sessions to a certain limited time. Congress meets every year, and Why should not our State* Legiala- tvre? The same reason, to some extent, ex ists in the one case os in the other. Our opin ion is, that the Legislature should meet annu ally. with the limitation, as to time, above men tioned. and that the members should be elected annually. This we conceive to be more, in ac cordance with the true principles of a Demo cratic Representative Government, and more likely to seenre the benefits of snch to the great glasses of our people.—Empire State (Griffin.) Tbe Pursuit of Money* It has been a long while since ’we have met with words more finely spoken than these—tnk en from the North American Review. Will not the informers who are laboring so assidu. busly to quench tbe thirst for liquor, do some thing to check this greediness for gain—the consequences of which are here , so truthfully portrayed: „ “ The eager desiro for wealth, the incessant and Sabbathless pursuit of it has become the universal passion and occupation. We have that love of money which is the root of all evil ; and under the deadly shade of the tree from that root, the love of knowledge and art, of trntb, and virtue,* and beauty, Withers and dies. ‘In prosperity no altars smoke.’ Tbe curse of Midas is upon us. Our feelings, our ideas, onr aspirations, are all turned into gold, and we are starving amid onr barren abun dance. We worship the material, not the epir itval; the risible and transient, not tbe invis ible and eternal. We are practical, not intel lectual; and our pleasures are of tho senses, not of the reason, imagination, and taste. We are smitten with ‘tbe lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life.’ We are true disciples of the ethics of interest and utility, and-our only morality is cash payment. Truly has it been said, that ‘ho who maketh haste to bo rich shall not be innoeent.,’ If intemper* ato drinking be the degrading vice of one por tion of our people, intemperate money-making is tbe besetting sin of another and much larger portion, and it is dificult to say which is the more pernicious. One is a vice of the senses, destroying tbe mind; the other, a delusion of the mind, and a selfish passion, blasting the moral sentiments, and palsying tbe higher powers of the intellect. The poor drunkard cannot resist the ‘baneful cup,’ which benumbs bis son!, 'nnmonlding reason’s mintage,’ and transforming;him. ‘Into the inglorious likeness of a beast;’ and tbe infatuated worshipper of Mammon de liberately uses his mental facultias for his own destruction, prefers the ignoble and low to the pare and high, ahd shuts out ftae light of hea* yon from bis life.- Successful industry, rapid gains, rank prosperity, without counteracting causes to modify their influence, have stimula ted this passion for wealth to excess, and have produced already,dn this new country, luxury, venality corruption, contempt for intellectua pursuits and pleasures, and sneoring : indiffer ence to ennobling and elevated sentiment. Hence the vulgar ostentation of our cities; hence the general want of literary taste anu culture: hence the deplorable;frauds of'busi ness; heneo much of the .baseness of our pol itics. Hion Price of Provisions in Europb.—The Berlin National Zeitung, September, 22d, says: “Not only grain, meat, oil, and spirits, have recently risen in price, but there is almost no description in goods which is not dearer. We have not known for years a period in which -the advance in prices has been so universal as at prerant. Imports, raw materia), and domes tic fabrics, are all dear. Many different causes may be alleged at the origin of this dearness ; one bsiiig the increase of the circulating medi um. Sinee 1848 the gain-in gold and silver American Jews.—The San Francisco Sun, in a very sensible article upon the present con dition of Jews, closes with the following par agraph : “The American Jew is only less proud of his country than his religion. To say he is a mere dweller upon the soil because it affords him tho means of support, is to libel the most noblo traits of bis character. -The graves of bis ancestors ore around him. His heaven is as near to him on tho shores of the Pacific as npon the sacred Mount of Olives, or within tho classic walls of Jerusalem. His God is omnip otent, omnipresent and omniscient. He has knelt before that awful prosence alike on the deserts of Arabia and the frosen zones of Si beria ; and why should he here—where the law recognizes his religion and his political privi* leges,* withhold an affection to which ho is im pelled by every consideration of prosperity to himself, and future happiness to his children ? His respect for our laws is shown in the fact that he seldom violates thorn. His wealth has gone towards building up rnd enriching our cities. He cultivates the arts, and goes heart and soul with our active citizens in every use ful enterprise. He quarrels but little; heads a mob—never. You will find him in our courts of justice, on the bench, at the bar, in the jury box, but seldom ever arraigned for a heinous criminal offence. This is tho American Jew. Let his good qualities be imitated—his bad onqs should be forgotten.” taken their places as members of society? Let ns see. They are tbq children of wealthy pa rents, an j, in ail probability, thojr will be called npon to surstain the following relations:— “ First.— 1 They will be wives. A wife is the intimato friend and constant life long compan ion of a man. “ Seeondly.—They will bo mothers, and, as snch, the natural guides, instructors, and exem plars of children. “Thirdly.—They will be misstresses of households, In whioh capacity they will he the directors of tho industry of others, purchasers of numberless commodities, and guardians ef tbe health, comfort, and happiness of many persons. “Fourthly.—They will be ladies, and, as such, the leaders of society, the lawgivers of manners; os such, they ought to he agreeable, instructive in conversation, accomplished in the arts of entertainment, self possessed, and supe rior to fashion and affectation. “Fifthly.—Thby' will be more likely than not to experience, at some time in their lives, a rcrerso of fortune; and then they should be able to do something for their own subsistence. “ Finally.—They will have the honor to ho members of the illustrious Human Family; to be •worthy of which high rank in the universe they ought to bo high-minded, honorable and jnst; incapable of hatred, jealousy and fear; abounding-in love and charity-to all who share with them the glory of being human; beauti ful in their persons and lovely in their lives, . “These aro some of the relations they will sustain ; these are some of the duties they will be called npon to perform. Now tbe groat question occurs: What is tho education that will prepare them for these various relations and duties? The word education literally means nourishmeta; that which nourishes tbe mind is knowledge,; and the act of procuring knowledge gives, the mind the exercise which is Heedful for its digestion. It is with the mind as it is with the body; the labor required to procure food is the exercise which enables the ■ system to appropriate it. To extol such studies, therefore, as logic, rhetoric, mental philosophy, and algebra, because they exercise the mind, is absurd; they exercise it very lit tle, and yield scarcely any knowledge for its nourishment, whereas there are branches of study which exercise the mind in the most vig orous manner, and yield an immense and in exhaustible revenue of instruction. Take, for example-, the Italian language. The complete acquisition of that one language would convert an uneducated mind into an educated one. In learning the language the pnpil would necess arily bebotne acquainted with Italian literature, Italian history, Italian manners and customs; the whole internal and external life of an im portant and interesting branch of the human family would, be gradually revealed to the pu pil’s mind. Dante would educate her; Tasso would educate her; all the great minds of It aly would contribute to ber enlightenment; and, in gaining an insight into the structure of a foreign language, she, Would, for the first time, begin to understand the pecaliaritios of her own. The same remarks apply to any lan guage which has a great and healthy literature They do net apply to tbe.-Frencb language, which is worth learning only for purposes of society and travel. The French have not pro duccd a great work, and they never wtiL “Science, also, is all invaluable means of education, The first few books of Euclid ap plied to astronomy would flood the youthful soul with light and joy. The natural sciences can all he made to toil poWerfutiy on the edu cation of tbe youhg. History and biography are exhaustless fountains of instruction. And daughters of ours, if wS had any, should range at will among the novelists, who are, after all the only jschoolmaeters now ‘abioad’ in the world who earn their wages. We couid spare Oxford, bat not Dickens; Cambridge, bat not Thackeray. “Finally^-bttt most important of all—there is the education of the soul, the heart, tiie mor al nature; the conquest of self, the supremacy of principle, thehabitof magnanimity. Words are of little awtil on this* branch of the subject Moral excellence is the result of many circum stances; there is no royal load or beaten track that leads to it; if, like nuns and monks, we de r vote ourselves to its exclusive acquisition, it eludes onr grasp ; it often-exists where nothing has appeared to.foster its grawth; it is often wanting where every circumstance seems to have conspired to produce it; the sons of saints go astray; tbe Children of sinners become or naments cf the race. Goodness is catching: its sole source is the human heart. Teachers whose own souls are noble can ennoble the souls of their pupils: every lesson recited be comes in their hands a lesson in fidelity, hon esty and truth. Virtue goes out from thorn continually, and enters into their pupils con tinually. And, to tell the truth, this is all tho moral philosophy we are able to believe in ; and we know no ‘ means of grace’ except Truth exemplified in tbe conduot of a human being. ‘ See hpw these Christians love one another!’ It was that which touched hearts aud mado con verts. “ These are bat imperfect hints. But we be lieve that girls educatod in the spirit of our remarks would be likely to become intelligent and companionable wives, judicious mothers, agroeable members of society, and noble-mind ed women.” Days of my youth, t wish not your recall; Hairs of my youth,For-content ye should fell; Eyes of my youth,’ you much evil have seen; Cheeks of my youth, bathed in tears you have been; Thoughts of my youth, you biVS led me astray; Strength of my youth why lament your decay?

Some timo ago, Lewis Tappan, tho well known abolitonist, had the assurance toaddross a letter to Gen. John H. Cooke, of Virginia, urging him and his son-in-law to emancipate one thousand slaves, whom Tappan alleges these gentlemen hold in bondage. This letter was published in the New York Tribune, .and copied into many other papers. To this impudent letter Mr. Philip St, George Cooke replies in the Whig of Monday. His reply is brief, but it is a crushes After quotiug Tap- pan’s letter he says: “Now, sir, as it is well understood—at least in tho community in, which I live—that I am the person alluded to by you, under the desig nation of the ‘8ok*in-luw’ of Gen.

As soon as dinner, was over, and the’ family retired, the conversation was resumed: “Weil sir,” said the old man,” “now to your business. Pray let me know at once how it is that yon can rave me a thousand pounds.'* “Why, sir,"said the other, I have jnst heard that yon have a daughter to dispose of in mar- rlage. “I have sir. “ And you intend to portion her with ten thousand pounds.’' “Ido sir” “Well, then, sir, if yon will let me have hef I will most gladly take her at nino thousand.” The master of the house rose up in an awful passion and kicked him out of the house—-as he richly desorved.
