Chances or Life Xouth lnh South.—An article has recently been going the rounds, making it appear, fivni tables ]nddi a hed by the Mutual Life Insurance Company of N. Y. that the mortality at the Smith-is considers ably greater than it is at the North—so lnueli so that the rate of premium on lives insured at tlie. South bus been advanced two per cent, over aud above tlie regular rate at the North. Our a>temj*orary of the Savannah Monday Yews suggests, with much reason, as we* think that if so great a difference between the mortality of the North and South really exists, which we very much doubt, it is attributable in part to the fact that so many persons' from the North with broken constitutions and pul monary diseases repair to tlie South in the hope to prolong their lives.

This order numbers thirty- lodges in the city. moment when there was so deep a moral feeling as among the people of this city as at this very time, or a better prospect of carrying out some of the long cherished reforms in society than now.— Temperance men, for instance, are -anguine of possessing in a few mouths n iaw favorable to the suppression of intoxication.

The masse- nrc becoming alarmed at the astounding frauds, falsehood, debauchery and drunkenness which have prevailed, and without regard to old party lines or sectarian prejudice*, are disposed to enter the lists against the retrogade movement which the New York world lia* been making for the last two years. | Sudden deaths in great numbers, and severe i misfortune without discrimination have awakened | thousands to the realization that there is consider- | able of “ the fleeting show ” nbouut this world ; which ha* not been taken into account.

Year or Calamity.—The New Orleans • An j ndictuiont for bigamy has been found Christian Advoeafc <>t the 14th ultimo, in j recapitulating the heavy misfortunes that have befallen 1 in- nation the present year, sum.- up the mournful tale in language its full of truth as the year has been of mem orable events: “ AYc sing of mercy anti judgment. The year past will be signal in history for its disasters. Drought iu the best agricultural districts, cutting off millions of produce.— Fires in cities and forests: mountains in a , blazo. Cholera invading from the sea coast to the interior. Yellow fever raging as nev- ‘ or before. Disasters by railroads, and great er ones by river aud by sea. Sailing ves- > sels lost: steamers, huge and staunch. | foundering mid-ocean, or iu tempting view of shore : or burning iu hupeless distance j of rescue. Thousands of lives lost; moan- > ing and wailing fill all the land. Such events show u- that God does not need wars, foes of steel and iron, serried ranks of in- ! ending host* and armed fleets, like those that distress the other hemisphere, in order ; to redued the proud to humility, or make His sovereignty known." naui.-t quite a distinguished chemist, no English- respondent of Blac-kwnod answer this ques tion in the bold and powerful paragraphs which we copy from his letter from Madrid, dated 14th of September last. The*e extracts recall attention to the un faltering purpose of President Pierce in re gard to Cuba. He came into power resolv ed honorably to acquire that island, and he believes this duty to be binding upon him still, no matter whether the question is con sidered in its relations to humanity, to com merce, or to freedom. "While Spain adheres to that island, and to the miserable policy 1 which has disgraced her authority there, it will be impossible to suppress the active sympathy of thousands in this country for those who suffer from depotism in sight of onr shores. The same causes will continue to annoy our merchants and our shippers; and thus Cuba will be no less a magazine of discontent to Spain than a pretext for armed expeditions fFom the United States. It is in view of ail these circumstances, and others familiar to the world, that the Pres ident, while sternly enforcing our laws against those who contemplate illegal ex peditions upon Cuba, has persevered in ev ery honorable expedient to induce Spain to come to terms on this issue. He has had a double difficulty to meet, however, in taking ihis course. Pretended friends and a blind opposition against him declare that his proc lamation enforcing the neutrality laws was either insincere or intended to destroy the hopes of acquiring the island; one side de claring that it was a mere ruse to aid un warrantable and unauthorized interference: aud the other, that it was intended to crush the cause entirely. Spain was told by the whig press that the proclamation was only “a tub to the whale,'’ while the so-called filibusters were assured that the proclama tion was intended, expressly to put an end to all efforts for Cuba. 'Whether these charges were false or true can be best as certained by noting how effectually they eoutrdict each other. One of the evidence.* of, tlie value uf the counsels aud course of Franklin Pierce may be seen in the effect they have produced in the Old World. We now behold the ablest journal of Great Britain treating the subject as a reasonable proposition, aud weighing the merits of the ease pro and con ; while, at last, the threat ened contingency of a European interfer ence against the United States is partially dissipated by the contemplation of the in conceivable disasters that must result from such an aggression to all the material inte rests of the Old World and the New. How long Spain will lierseif stand in the way of removing the only existing or probable ob stacle to a complete and lasting state of am ity between France, England, and the Unit ed State.--, not to speak itself, has become a most tinteresting inquiry. At all events, it is a novel and a somewhat unexpected de duction from the present state of affairs be tween England. France, and Russia, that the possibility of a peaceful settlement of the Cuban question may now be confidently calculated upon. When the correspondence between the Secretary of State, Mr. Mavcy, and Mr. Soule, onr American minister at Madrid, on the Black Warrior and other Spanish questions, is published, it will be found that there are two sides to the question, and that the administration is right in calmly await ing the disclosure of its own high policy.— One side of this questions has appeared. Let os impartially await the other. Tlie Western Pork Trade. At the season for packing pork draws near, the business attracts more attention, mail, by the name of Deck.

A long, thin, ghostly visaged gentleman was an nounced. With an asthmatic voice, but. in a tone of studied civility, for otherwise the editor would have assuredly transfixed him with a fiery paragraph the next morning, the stranger said, 4 Sir, your journal of yesterday contained false information.’ ‘Im possible, sir; but tell me what you allude to/ 4 You said that Mr. M. had been tried.’ ‘True/ ‘Condemned/ (Very-true/ ‘Hung/ ‘Most true/ ‘Now, sir, I am the gentleman himself.’ ‘Impassible!’ ‘I assure you it is a fact, and now I hope you will contradict what you have alledged!’ ‘By no means, sir/ ‘How! what do you mean? you are deranged/ I may be so, sir; but I will not do it/ ‘I will complain to a magistrate.’ ‘As you please; but I never retract.

The men were clean andlooked like soldiers, yet the attempt at manoeuvering them was a perfect failure. They marched in columns of companies, but when it was attempted to ex tend them into line, it was found impossible to ‘dress’ them parallel. Such shouting and screaming was never before heard—aid-de- camp followed by aid-de-camp with their horses pacing at the top of their speed, from one part of the line to the other, but all with out avail. A letter S was described rather than a strait line. There was a company or two of the ‘nig ger’ ‘Defenders of Cuba’ present.

The Herald warns the “ friends of Kansas ” in New England to bestir themselves if they expect to make it a free State: “ The friends of Kansas in the East, and particularly in New England, must be act ive in their movements to forward pioneers, if they expect to secure this territory to freedom. Missourians are doing their ut most to secure the preponderance of shivery sentiments, and are locating by hundreds around Fort Leavenicorth, in view of the proximity of that place to the capital. “ The election will take place.soon, and it is all-important for the triumph of freedom that active measures be employed to hurry up emigration.” Speaking of the climate and productive qualities of the country, the Herald repre sents the soil of the richest character, vary ing from eighteen inches to five feet in depth: the climate salubrious, the ther mometer rarely or never rising above 105 degrees in the shade. We extract a para graph or two: “ The winters are comparatively mild with us, though subject to frequent changes on account of the high altitude of the country. The productions of Missouri, Kentucky and Ohio grow here in great abundance. Apples, peaches and pears well adapted, to the soil. Mr. Walker, the intelligent provisional Governor of the Wy andot Indians, and formerly from Northern Ohio, says he raises annually the most lus cious peaches he ever saw. Melons grow of mammoth proportions.” It is objected that our market is too far To those who are not acquainted with our position in the Republic, the ob jection is insuperable; but to those who have observed that we have an excellent water communication with all parts of the world ; and.that in two years, at furthest, we shall be banded with iron, and a rail road connecting us with Boston altd New York, along which the steam horse will be propelled at the rate of from thirty to forty miles an hour, the objection is worthies: New-Orleans, Saturday, Nov. 4—7 P.

With respect to the Czar himself, why should he be humbled and discouraged ? He knows the history of the country, and he knows it is after repeated disasters that Russia lias arrived at its pre sent power. Peter the Great capitulated on the banks of the Pruth. It was after suc cessive reverses that Catharine arrived at the conquest of the Crimea. All the cam paigns against Turkey have beeu marked by defeats and humiliations: and yet the influence of Russia grew greater each time. In Poland it was after many battles fought and lost that she became mistress of tlie country. Iier wars with France have been an uninterrupted series of bloody defeats, and what has been the result ? It is super fluous to mention it to your Majesty. Such are the military annals of Russia.

Great Democratic Rally. Detroit, Sat.. Nov. 4. There was a great Democratic rally in the City Hall to-night, at which Gen. Cass was E resent. In the speech which he delivered e commented severely upon the attacks made upon him by the Richmond Enquirer, saying he “desired nothing from the South and expected nothing from their justice.” I says: i “ To believe that the Emperor Nicholas will give up with a stroke of the pen the advantages gained after a century of in trigues and efforts—that he will of his own accord renounce pretensions which have as sumed the condition of rights legally ac quired and exercised—that he will consent to lose an influence which is equivolent to absolute domination and to sec a prestige which was taken for grandeur completely vanish—to flatter ourselves, in a word, that the Autocrat will quieth’ endure all the sacrifices which may be imposed on him because the Criufea is occupied aud a fleet burnt; because Austria is pleased to occupy thc principalities, is to utterly mis understand the nature and character of the struggle in which we are engaged. It will require many other reverses to force the Emperor Nicholas to renounce all his pre vious idieas, and to become, as it were, au apostle to the traditional policy of Russia. The power of tho Czar, how great soever it be, has limits which cannot be passed with impunity. The Russian party, of which so much has beeu said, is nothing else than the national will which reveals itself, and this will is too proud, too ambitious, to yield to au intimftlation the effects of which is scarcely felt by it. They are in error who judge Russia according to a European stand ard. It is believed that by paralyzing her external commerce, by annihilating her credit in all the markets of Europe, she will be reduced to extremity, that she will be driven to bankrupey, and that the Czar will have no money to continue the war. That is all a mistake. Those who are acquainted with her resources will tell you, sire, that Russia, even when driven within her fron tier, and attacked on her own territory, will have, for twenty years to come, sufficient men and sufficient means to resist, and to await more favorable circumstances.” The conclusion of the letter is to this ef fect. “Let the western powers, without losing time with useless negotiations, recognise, by common declaration, the legitimate exist- 1 ence of Polish nationality, and in place of a A i complication, you will have found a prompt and complete solution. Poland once consti tuted, the Czar is powerless against Tnrkev: the Danube belongs de facto to Austria: ex clusive domination in the Black sea be come a chimera, and every dream of ambi tion is at an end.” i A Singular Case.—A number of pins i were recently exhibited to the Pathological j Society of London, removed from various | parts of the body of a young woman, who ! was taking down clothes from the drying line, and putting the pins in her mouth, j when some one came behind her and seized j her by the arms, startling her so much that | she swallowed the whole mouthful.
