THE DEAREST SPOT ON EARTH. The following beautiful little ballad is sung by Miss Annie Kemp, at Thai berg's Concerts, and elicits the most enthusiastic applause : The dearest spot of earth to m<\ Is home, sweet Inmno ; I i The fairy land I've longed to see, ( Is home, sweet home; There how charmed the sense of hearing, There where hearts are so endearing; AD the •<*rid it n<4 cheering, l As home, sweet home. 1 ( Fve taught my heart the way to prize My home, sweet home; I've learned to look, with lover's eyes, » On home, sweet home! < There where vows are truly plighted, I There where hearts are so united, All the world besides I've slighted, For home, sweet home. I [for the state frees] A SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY. The signs of the times are clearly indicative of the fact, that the hour is not far distant when the people of the South wiil be compell ed to maintain by their ow n resources a seper ate and independent government. The people of the North are determined to drive u* to ex- ( tremes. ‘ The groans and screams of Southern women ami children —massacred by revolted would be sweeter music in their cars than the strains of the orpheau lyre.” 1 cannot pretend to say how many years may roll by, before that hour may come—but come it will —come it must. And happy am Ito know that its coming has not been caused by Southern treason, or “Southern disatfec- : tion," (disaffection, sweet word.) and that it < will not find us, as a people, totally unprepared to meet its mighty cousetpiences. But to meet it boldly, defiantly, successfully, (tor I fear there is no such thing as a peaceable dissolution of the I nion.) w e must be united in feeling . and in interest. We must know and feel that our cause isjust. Let us be thus situated and we have nothing to sea peace or come . war. What then do we need/ What is there that will render the slave-holding .States more fully acquainted w ith, and consequently more strongly attached to each other ? (.’’early—a I niversity—built by, and endowed with money famished by all the slave-holding State govern ments. At least, it will have that tendency. Each State could be permitted to send a stated num ber of young men, who would become acquain ted with those from other States, and form tor them attachments of the most lasting charac ter. The State governments would be forced into constant intercourse w ith each other, re itultijig, naturally, in nothing but good to the . whole South. One of the professorships should be filled by soir.e one competent to lecture up on “African Slavery*’— its morality and con stitutionality—and other important subjects connected with the interests of the South. — , Partieularly up.m Afrienn Slavery, because it is that which has made us so many foes, and our people should be prepared to answer the ar guments adduced against it, whereas but few amongst us now can give any good reason why the white man should be permitted to bold the black race in a state of servitude. This of course originates in the fact that this subject bus never been taught or studied in our schools and colleges to the proper extent. A thousand other influences would go out , from such an institution, tending to the same happy result. As this is intended only as a rude outline, of course I cannot l>e more par ticular in this article, and 1 advise the reader to bear this in mind. It is needless to urge against such an institution, that we already have a national Institute, and that has failed to answer any good in this respect—for the inter ests of the North and South are entirely irre concilable ; and even if they were not, it is founded upon a different basis, or that some of the Churches have in contemplation a Uni versity of somewhat similar nature —for they have not the requisite amount of money, and moreover the State government (the people) would not be brought thereby into any inter course with each other. But suppose I am wrong in the opinion that there exists any danger of a dissolution of the Union, or that the University thus built, en dowed and officered by men born and reared in the South, would have any tendency to unite more closely the slaveholding States, none will deny that it would have superior ed ucational advantages, or that we do not need it. Our young men, then, w ould not be compelled to seek accomplished educations elsewhere, but students from different nations would Hock here in large and telling numbers. From them we would obtain wealth and friendship. Rays of light and learning would emanate from such an institution and penetrate every nook and corner of our land. Built and reared upon such a foundation, it would be without an equal upon the Globe. For these reasons alone, if for none other, I would urge its claims. Are our people too poor or too miserly to build it? Will they remain stationary while others are making rapid strides in advance ment and learning ? Are they still content to see their sons visit other lands to be educated ? Fop the honor and glory of my native land, I trust not! I know these ideas may appear chimerical to some, but there are always those who are ready to cry down whatever wears State 1.1 r es a; the appearance of change of civilization. I 1 know too that it is the province of the ser pent to hiss, the dog to growl and bark, the ass to bray, and the fool to scoff at others, but of the wise to answer them by facts and argu ments. If what I have said upon this subject be of no avail—l have the consolation of knowing that I Lave done no harm. J. C. W. • [for the state press.] MARTIN GALES VS S Q. LAPIUS J/rrxrn.

She could not finish it ami fell hack to a state of prostra tion and suft'ering. They tried at various times to get her to take nourishment, hut suc ceeded only with much difficulty ; the func- 1 tions of the stomach, which had hitherto con tinued sufficiently had tailed in their turn. — At eleven o'clock on Sunday expectoration be came difficult and there were fears of suffoca tion, w lien a fortunate effort relieved the re spiratory organs and a calm succeeded this cri sis. Rachel then desired to resume the letter to her father; she dictated it to the end, re read it, and then exclaimed, “Ah, my Rebecca, < i my dear sister, I am going to see you again: how happy I am!” She then added some words to the letter, signed it and appeared to tall a>leep. This state lasted several hours. Up , ’ to this time Sarah had hesitated about calling in the succor of religion, but having witnessed this transport of Rachel, she telegraphed to the i consistory of Nice, who immediately sent ten persons, males and females. They arrived . about eight o’clock, and were told to wait j awhile, fearing that their arrival might pro d ice a fatal excitement. At last, about ten ' o'clock, a crisis similar to that of the morning occurred and alarmed the whole house. The I physicians declared that it would be the last. The religious jktsohs were then admitted.— Two women and an aged priest drew near the i bed and began to cliant the prayers for the last agony in Hebrew. Rachel turned her face ‘towards them, radiant with celestial light, pressed the band of Sarah, and died with a , smile ujMHi her lips. When I arrive!, a few hours later. J found every one impressed with the token of divine support that God had given to Rachel. 1 was not there, my dear friend, but I doiil t not that Rachel dic<l in the hope of another life.’’ RKMARKABLE INSTAKCZ3 OF HZROTSM The Rev. Mr. Scudder, of India, in a letter to the Christian Intelligencer, give> the follow- , ing instances of heroism, called forth by the . Indian mutinies:— “Let Americans never he ashamed that En- , glishnirii are their forefathers. England is a ■ noble country. Her sons are heroes, and her daughters heroines. This rebellion has brought out deeds that deserve to be associated w ith those valorious actions w hich we. with thro! - bing pulses, read of in history. In one place a . lady and her husband tied in their carriage.— < He stood upright. She took the reins. She lashed the horses through a band of mutineers, while lie. with cool aim. shot dead one who I seized the horses' heads, and another who climb >cd upon ihe carriage behind to cut him down. , On tiny fled, until again they found themselves among foes, and a rope stretched across the I road, made further progress appear impossible. True to herself, she dashed the horses at full . speed against the rope, and as they, bearing it down, stumbled, she. by rein and whip, raised • them, while her husband’s weapon again freed them from those that succeeded in leaping upon them. He was wounded, but both escaped • with their lives. Inanothcr place, a young la dy, the daughter of an officer, shot seven muti neers. be lore they killed her. A captain, press- , ed by the Sepoys, with his good sword, slew twenty-six of them before he fell!” j [-y<T"Gen Rusk, the late Senator from Tex i as, was the son of an Irish emigrant, who set tled in South Carolina. Without the aid of ! friends or fortune, he educated himself, studied law. settled in Texas, w hen it waspart of Mex ico, joined the army of independence, and com- I manded the left wing of the Texan army at the battle ot San .Jacinto—one of the most stub born battles in ancient or modern history, and ! to his personal bravery, as much as that of any other man, was owing the victory of that little band of woodsmen over 7,000 of the best troops in Mexico —not one of w horn escaped capture or death. Gen Rusk was a “imxlel man.”— : ' Brave, generous, considerate, truthful, and of rare judgment, he w as popular and beloveil, in every stati n of life. THE BENEFIT OF LIFE INSURANCE The New York Post states that the leading partner of a financial firm that was forced to suspend during the panic, lost all his property, pnd having since died, his family, consisting of his wife and a number of children, would have been left entirely without means, but for the happy discovery of life-policies to the amount of $20,000. “The Beginning of the end.', —Such is the Talleyrandisli designation which the editor of the Richmond South bestows upon the recent free-tight on the floor of the U. S. Congress.— He says:—Some may regard this fight on the floor of Congress as an insignificant circum stance. We view it in no such light. It is not an accidental or exceptional incident. A Spark caused the explosion ; but it first came in contact with a magazine of combustible pas sion. Things have long been tending to this i developement ; and it has been postponed by 1 artificial resistance to the operation of perma nent agencies of strife and dissolution. We • have not reached the ultimate catastrophe.— The impulse, begun at the centre, w ill be prop agated to the remotest extremities of the I country. The first net of disruption finds an appropriate theatre on the floor of Congress, t Ihe constituency of the South will sustain their Representatives in the chastisement of insult and agg w es>ion. The bold declaration uttered a few days since in the Senate by Mr. Mason, ■ of Virginia, is applauded and repeated in every slaveholding State. Mr. Keitt will be sustained 1 by as eneouraginga demonstration of popular spirit. The people of the South reserve their | contempt for an exhibition of pusillanimous t 1 temper among their Representative*.

DRH. LEBRUN A DI ETON, OCULISTS AN D A U R IST S. 1Y R. LEBRUN offers to those suffering from deaf z nesshis infalliblt aural remedies, which haver l»een successful m nearly three thousand cases of con- j firmed deafness ! These remedies have been pro- i nuunced bv Drs. Kbrarnrr, of Berlin, and Deleau, of I Paris, and Curtis Pilcher, of London, as the must wonderful ever applied for diseases of internal and . middle car. They comprise different courses for the : various diseases that affect the external and middle ear. Dr. Lebrun u arrantn a curt in retry com, when the ear is perfect in its formation. He has eighteen | certificates from those who Lad been deaf/rin* infan cy , whose hearing is now completely restored, and’they j are now enablefl to learn the language! Over twen ty -sev vn hundred cases of deafness huv e been success- > fully treated by him. Certificates to that effect may • be seen on application. In all cases of deafness arising from inflammation, • thickening, or even perforation of the “incnibrana : tvmpani," usually called the ‘drum*; inflammation of mucus membrane of the tympanum and custiehain tube, with accumulation of mucus ; nervous affections, polypus growths, Ac., or when the disease can be I traced to scarlet, typhus, billious or intermittent fe ver, colds, the use of quinine or mercurial medicines, gatherings in the ears of childhood. Ac., the sense can. in nearly every instance, be restored. When a want'd’ secretion is apparent, the “Auditory canal,” being dry and scaly ; when the deafness is accompa nied with noises in the car, like rustling of leave*, chirping of insects, falling w ater, ringing of bells, 1 pulsations, discharge of matter; when in a stew,ping position a sensation is felt as if a rush us blood to the , head had taken place ; when the hearing is perfectly acute w here there is much noise, or less acute in dull, cloudy weather, or when cold has been taken, the | course pursued by Dr. Lebrun is consideied infallible. Dr. DUFTON, the only practitioner in the United States who practices the new, painless, and success ful method in treating all diseases to which the Eye is subject, where every other means have failed to afford relief, hr asks from such a fair and impartial trial. Patients sending a few particulars of their case, can have remedies sent to any part. Testimony. “We the undersigned, practitioners of medicine in the city of New York, having had occasion to witness the practice of Drs. Lebrun and Dufton, in diseases of the Ear and Eye, laying aside all professional jeal- , oiisy and prejudice, freely admit the course pursued by them in treating diseases of those delicate organs, from the unparalleled success which has attended it. is well worthy the attention ofour professional breth ren throughout the United States. Their system of treating diseases of the middle and internal’ ear, by . the use a of “medicated vapors,” particularly in chron ic and complicated cases, forms a new era in the practice of aural surgery, and tills up a void which has long been felt by the general practitioner. In dis eases of the eye, thev seldom require to resort to an <q»eratioii.
