DO LONG FACES INDICATE PIBTTt The. erroneous idea that a man or woman, in order to be a Christian, should creep throgli the world with a long, solemn face, is fast wearing out and cannot be gone too soon. What a sad mistake it is to suppose thnt a man should bo gloomy because he is devout, as if misery were acceptable to God on its own account, and happiness an offence against his dignity. A modern writer of tmteh wis dom and pith of writing, says: “ There is a secret belief among some men that God is displeased with men’s happiness, and so they slink about creation ashamed and afraid to enjoy any thing.” These are the people of whom Hood, says: ” They think they are pions when they are dniy billious!” ■ A good man is almost always a cheerful one. It is fit that had men shonld scowl, and look blue, and be melancholy; but lie who has God’s smile of approbation upon him should show its radiance in its counte nance. Dr. Johnson said lie ‘never knew n villain in his life that was not, on the whole an nnhappy dog.’ And well he may be.— But an honest man—the man with a good conscience, let him enjoy his sleep, and his dinner, and the love of biff wife, and*the prattle of his children, and show a beaming face to his neighbor. Surely there is no worse theology than that which teaches that he who has given such fullness of joy to beasts and birds, delights, in the misery of men, or, that having filled our hearts with gladness, vfc ought to give the lie to his goodness hy wearing faces beclouded with woe, and furrowed with pretended happiness. PBETTY GOOD. In a late controversy in the Benato be tween Mr. Toombs, and Mr. Proston King, of New York, the latter commenced a reply to Mr. Toombs as followe: “ I suppose I shall not be required to furnish understanding to the Senator from Georgia, who has chosen to misunderstand the facts of tbe case, awd of course to mis state them. I will read tbe iaw.„ To which Mr. Toombs replied: “I will certainly relieve the Senator from New York from any obligation to furnish use a brains in this case; because I bare. seen ng in that Senator’s course which indi cated that lie coofd spare'knr.” y.’’k —■ — r ~ . i*: ,>> ■a It is a eurions fact that every general oll cer in the army of tbe Revelation was a Freemnsou—except Benedict Arnold. A CASK XH COUIT—A, YAXLES MMX. Some five or aeven years ago store keep er of ThomnsvlHe, G., went to New York to buy n bill of goods. Passing through Savannah he received jfrom a well-known firm in town, n letter directed to h firm in New York. This letter was merely one of introduction stating that tho bearer was *. good business men; honest, energetic end striving to get along, and worthy so fa? of trust. But the letter did not dcflinftely reeo mend the New York merchant to sell to tbe Thomasville man. ? When tho Georgia man got to New York lie went into another store aud in course of talk shewed tbo letter ho bad for tbe other New York* firm. On the strength of Ms let ter (though not directed to them} this new party sells the Georgia merchant a bill of goods on time. Before said debt was paid tlc Georgia party failed, and even tbe !Rw York house allowed the effects to be disposea of without claiming thsir share. Since thetf tbo New York firm have sued the parties of this city (who gave the Thomasville man the letter of introdjiction.) for the amount of that bill, and this week a jury in the Superi or Court decided against the New Yorker’s claim making him pay cost of Court, dec.” It seemed to us very strange grounds for the New York party to base their claim upon and we do not think any jury could have de cided in their favor.— Sav.

There is no continuous roar of the plunging waves, as we bear along the Atlantic seaboard; the slow regular swells —quick pulsations of the groat Pacif ic’s heart—roll inwards in unbroken lines and fall with single grnnd crushes with inter vals of dead silence between. They may be heard through the day, if one listens, like a solemn undertone to all the shallow noises of tho town; but at midnight when al else is still, those successive shocks fail upon the ear with a sensation of inexpressible so lemnity. All the air, from the pine for ests to the sea is filled with a light tremor, and the intermitting heals of souud Are strong enough to jar a delicate car. Their con stant repetition at last produces a feeling something like terror. A spirit worn end weakened by scathing sorrow, Could scarce ly bear the reverberation.— Taylor's Cali• fornia. - UNBOUNDED STOMACH. The capacity of the skin can only be thoroughly tested in a dropsical patient or in a lager beer drinker. In a late case in New York City Court of Common Pleas, the ques tion lias been revived as to the intoxicating properties of lager beer. A keeper of ala- Sheer saloon testified to the fact that he known men drink sixty glasses of lager in the space of four hours. Another wit ness 5 stated that some men outd drink forty glasses of laser without feeling any bad of fect. A german testified that he had drank one hundred and sixty glasses of laser in a day—equal to 10£ gallons. The Judge ask ed him what effect it had upon him, to which he replied, “It mnde me feel goot, and I sleep veil.” He said that he bad drank twenty-five glasses that morning before com ing into court. Another witness swore that he could diink four gallons a day without being affected oy It. A number of witness es testified to having drank eighty glass— a day. ‘ THE BRITISH OFFICERS UPON THEIB IXABCHES The Key West “Key of an nounces the arrival there ol U. B. M. Steam ship Jasper, Commander Fiip, who was wai ted upon in a visit of courtesy by Comman der Rogers of the Water Witch. Comman der Pirn said be was acting in accordance with the instructions of hts Government, which he received and obeyed some nine years ago on the coast of Africa—that no new or special orders had been received —that if he has done wrong, in any One instance, he regretted it much—and should his govern ment, after strict and impartial inquiry into his course, which he courted, decide against him, its displeasure would be severely visit ed upon him, and he made amenable for the damages sustained. He com plained-—and our experience teach es us with moth truth—of the discourtesy shown by American ship-masters, when met at sea by a man-of-war, in not allowing their colors when invited by the letter's shearing theirs; instead of giving this evidence of their nationality at once and in a proper manner, they most invariably, he said, either rnn up their colors and immediately haul them down, before they are made known, or do not show them nt all, until a shot is fired to leeward or ahead of them. And in con clusion, ho expressed inneb regret that his otficirtl nets should have caused so mnch feel ing in this country, and ho believed that lie could clear himself, in every instance, from censure in the premises—that he alone was responsible for his past course and not his Goveruineut, if ho had done wrong.

Tho proposition, upou its face, 1 is so aboard, that it in hardly worthy of scri ou4 refutation. Mcairn -fly Cos., ask u to believe that their vessel, fitted oot in the port of Charleston. S.C., is going upon a voyage to Africa, to bring to some port in tbe United States a cargo of free negroes,— The port to which the vessel expects to re turn, is not indicated. It cannot be the one from which it sails, nor any other port in tbe State of South Carolina, as the introduction of free negroes into that State Jta wisely pro hibited by stringent laws and heavy penal ties. It cannot be the port of any other slaveholding State, as similar laws in each of those States alike forbid it. The reason for such laws is so manifest, that X do not feel called upon either to prednee tbe evidence of their existence. r to justify tbe policy which led to tbeir adoption, ft is sufficient to know that the public mind of that section of the Union is not more cordially agreed upon any one subject than the propriety and necessity of prohibiting, a* far a# possible, an increase of the treo negro population; and hence the law# to which ! refer, prohibiting tbeir importation from any place. Can it be that Messrs. Lafitte & Cos. pro pose to return, with tbeir cargo of free ne groes, to a port in some of the non-slavehol ding states ( lam not aware of a single State where these new comers would receive a tolerant, much lean a cordial, welcome j whilst by stringent laws and eonstitntionai provisians, some of them have provided for their unconditional exclusion. - *# r>‘. :tr Looking beyond the legislation which has been had on the subject by the General Gov ernment, and both the sUvebotdiug and non-slaveholding States, 1 may be permitted to refer, in this connection, to tbe various, repeated and earnest efforts which have been made in every section of the Union, to pro vide for the removal from Our midst of this most unfortunate class. However variant the motives which have induced these effort* with different persons, in different sections of tbe country, they ail exhibit *n earnest da, sire to diminish rather than increase the free negro population. This pnblic opinion, thus manifested in every form, is familiar to every one, and it would- be doing great injustice to the intelligence of Messrs. Lafitte it, Gi>., to suppose that they alone wfire ignorant of it Where, then do they propose to land their cargo e* freo negroes ? Wlist i# the motive which indaces the enterprise t ’ It cannot be the profit# of the voyage.— There are no African emigrants seeking a passage to tbb country; and If there were, they have no means of remunerating Messrs. LafiUe (t, Cos. for bringing them. The mo tive cannot be more phHantbrjpyffot it would confer no benefit upon these negroes to bring them to our shores, where, if permitted” to land at all, it would only be to oeeupy our pest-houses, hospitals and prisons. To be sieve, under the eirenmstances, that there is a bona tide purpose, on the part of Messrs. Lafitte 4 Go., to bring African emigrants to this country, to enjoy the rights and privile ges of freemen, won id require an amount of credulity that woold justly subject the per son so believing to the charge of mental im becility. The conviction is irresistible, that the object of the proposed enterprise is to bring these “African eojigmnUr’ l'ntb the country, with the view felt hi?? of making slaves of them, or of holding them to servlfee or labor. If so, it is an attempt to evade the laws of the country on the subject of Af rican importation,. to which I have called yonr attention. Ordinarily, it would be an unsafe ralo . fori a public officer to act upon the suspicion pf a purpose on the part of another to violate tho laws of tbe country, but MUtius ca#e U.te ptft so clearly beyond the reach of doubt, that I think that yen not only can, bnt that you are in duty bound to act upon the pre sumption that it is the intention of Messrs.
