Jesup has advantages which justify tire expectation of ita becoming a town of much more importance than its pres ent status. Wc have foundation fora hope of it becoming a place of commer cial and educational importance, if the claims it lias on each of its citizens aro sacredly performed. We claim that no good citizen lias ft fight to dirt gat'd lire claims of his town or couutrv, any more than he has to disregard those sacred claims which his God and family have ujon him ; not that the claims of God and family nro to bo compared will, those which friends and country have, yet in proportion to tire magnitude oud saorod obligations ef those claims, ho is certainly under as greet obligations to discharge them.

This of itself is strong testimony of the ■great advantages of the pro-fi. It is a truth that w ill not bo questioned by any intelligent mind, that whatever advan ces the i’cneral good of sooiety most, must certainly have the greatest claims on every class of society. \\ e, at once, and most earnestly, insist that journal jsin has more and greater elainia on so ciety, than Inis most profession! . \\ e also acknowledge the claims of society upon ns, and for one, wo propose, as far as in us lies, to dischnrgo them faithfully, fearlessly and zealously, lool jng to the public—in whoso interests the Fentini i is published to recipro cate with a light good will and lib.ral hand.

Calling at the State Dipnrtment yes terday in search of news, (the proceed ings m Congress being of a particular ly dull and somnolent nature) was shown a letter which had just boon re ceived from Mi. Kiifiis T. Smith, one of onr A-sistaut Commissioners to tho Pari# Exposition, in which that gentle man makes a lengthy and very favora ble report of the progress of the Amer ican section nt the Paris Exposition, to he opened on the first of May, next, and which will surpass in grandeur and previous International Exhibition, with the exception, p"ssibly, of our own groat '‘Centennial S!i w,” which e ver ed more ground, at least, than the one ab ut to bo opecod in Paris l am thus enabled to present to your rea 1- ers, in advance* tho (hst official uud au thontio report on the subject As v our own Expositi n of IS7 I , each nation reptcoented at l’aris will have a building of its own, located on the Cnauip do Mars, iu close proximity to the Main building. It was the de sire of the French Commissioners, that each nation should construct a build ing which would be. in some way, rbar aeterislic of the count y to w ieb it be longed ; a 'ask not easy in the ooustruo iiiou of distinctive American edifice (unless built after the pattern of au lu- Umu Wig*am.) Hence, ns tho next best tbii g, in tlic absence of an Ameris ran style of architecture, it was deci ded to mike this building ou the plan and general appearjucc of a bant!- me villa, sitcli as one* may see in any ot the fast iooahie subtibs of cur larger c ues, ar.d on a et i it plentifully with em blems of our “Liberty anti l . ty . quite passible at and in go >J taste t ■ ■*, wi t' !’ aite'e i> : H pnhlie.

The spiers between the wind itvs on the front s de, or facade, will ba divided into thirteen panels, on each of which will be represented, on an ornamental es cutcheon, the arms of the thirteen orig inal States (if llie Union ; and along the cornice, above these panels, the re maining Sta'os will be represented by smaller escutcheons carrying their ar morial hearings; the armsof the States I of California and Colorado, occupying a cen'ral position, directly over the 1 main entrance. A fi g pole, fevcoty j fed high, will he erected in front of | the building, from which the Stars and Stripes will he thrown to the Parisian i breeze. At the Exposition, we will, all things considered, mako a pretty fair display, esp dally in agricultural produce and implements, edge-tools of all Iprids, bardwaro goods generally, and electri cal apparatus, One very interesting exhibit will be the complete process of making shoes by machinery, the ma chines Ireing (he same as those which recently can ire! of a number of prices i:.

A pyramid, twenty feet sqttre at tiie base, and sixty-seven arid a half feet high, will represent the 7,- 000,000 of cubic inel es of gold which have been produced on tno Pacific coast. This mass would be equivalent to a solid l-lock of pure gold, as large as square room sixteen feet in height, length, and breadth. E circling this pyramid there will be fifty plate glass show eases, in which will he artistical ly arranged, the mineral wealth of that fjvore I section. The appoint merit of Judge Scofield, of Pcnmtylvania, to tho Rcgi torship of the Tronsiiry i) pertinent, made va cant by the sudden death of the lato Register Allison, and his acceptance, has caused not a little comment in of ficial circles here. Tho high social and politieal position heretofore held by Mr. Scofield in his Stale, his long and very prominent service in Congress, his can didacy for the offi-e of Secretary of tho Treasury under Grant’s administration, nml for the Judg'ship of the U. S. District Court ; these fuc's, coupled with his undoubted legal attainments, have line! the effect of casting ridicule on him for accepting a place purely clerical—a sort of chief book-keeper ship—whose most arduous duties con sist. in signing his name ou an average of a thousand times a day. If he does make himself at all familiar with the records and n il-tapo system of accounts o' the office over which he presides, it will require years of irksome labor to get tin! rno of the machine ; ami eveu then he wi'l have to confess himself in ferior, as to posting, to many of his subordinate# who h ,ve entered the Ilc purttneot us Messenger. Hut tho Bog istorsldp will! its salary of four thous and [or annum, is a soft shelf for a bro ken down or breaking down politician ; yol it appears to me that if political j hacks aro to he provided for in that | way, iJ would be well to sidict poor | specimens ol the animal, and not wcal | thy ottos like Mr. Scolidd,•worth a bun- I died thousand dollars, or more. ,S nator Paddock, of Ncbrasen, who is chairman of tho Scuato Committee on Agriculture, bus, with commendable encigy, b eo engaged recently in col lect iig llio statistics of the diseases which a fleet hogs, lie has, in couse qunnoo, become alurmed at tho number and violence of these diseases, and the frightful intrinlily which prevails among those animals. With a viow if ohecking this yearly dead loss of capi tal wbioh lie believes can be attributed only to the ignorance which prevails in regard to this matter, ho proposes to draw up a bill asking Congress to ap point a commission of th ee of the best veterinary su'geotis in the country, to inquiro into iho causes and proper remedy of thrso diseases llogs con tract in ease Is in early life, as some of their prototypes of tho human race of ten do. They also havo pneumonia, soni-Jet fever, small pox, all the throat diseases, and if they Servivo all those, they are very liable to be taken with consumption. His bill will doubtless pass, for sympathy is such a powerful thing! Speaking of a Senator, naturally leads me to think of the body- to which ho belongs. The achievement* of tlio Senate, during the week just past, have bean comparatively few and unimpor tant ; the passage of a bill to encour age tree planting on government lands, and three days afterwards, the passuio of t' o so-called Little Deficiency Bill. The net result of tho week’s work is, thcrof ro. almost invisible. The House p ssod a lull to reform the advertising of mai: contracts, and the Naval Ap propriati m Bill, whoso specifications aro minute beyond president, and, then tore well calculi ted to preveut abuse# i'i tlie expenditure of moneys. Senator 11 we'# speech against tho administration, created s iuo tempora ry excitement ; but that has all blown : over, and that reminds me that while traveling out West during the last election, l saw this dignified and ven erable Senator, whose Christian name is T m >thy O.
