For the American. Should a Temperance Man Engage in Distilling? Mr. Editor. My attention having been directed to a recent number of the Madison ' Banner' containing an article subscribed R. S.: I was somewhat startled at the wri'er's views in relation to distilling; After some rc-maik upon the prosperous condition of other towns upon the Ohio river, R. S. conceives it would be greatly to the advantage of Madison if a large flouring mill were erected there. To make this profitable, he observes, a distillery must be connected with it. Proceeding, he avows himself a friend of total abstinence, and declares that his feelings are against distilleries; he then states the distiller's defence and acknowledges he cannot answer

it This dafence is as follows: "Most of "the whiskey now made is used in the arts ''and for various purposes. The amount "drunk does not depend upon the price of "the article, therefore not upon the quantity manufactured, for those who want it "wiil have it regardless of price. Large "establishments are'less deleterious to the "community than small ones,for they swal"lotv up the little ones, such as used to be ' up m every square mile, and answered "the double purpose of manufacturing and "retailing, and which uniformly were "worked by dissipated men; while the in- . "terests of the proprietors demand sober "men in Iareones; and they never permit "it to be retailed at the distillery ' 0:ie cannot but admire the coolness of thesa statements, anl the readiness with which a total abstinence man yields to assertion! unsupported by proof or argument. It would hardly be impertinent to demand of one, who thus affects to settle a very important question in morals, something more satisfactory. How has R. S. ascertained that the greater part of the whiskey now manufacture ! is ti6ed in the arts? By what reasoning are we convinced that the amount drank tloe6 not depend upon the price, and therefore not upon the quantity manufactured? As these i mporta:it points arc entirely overlooked by that gentium in, and a it is highly desirablethat the friends of Temperance should think correctly upon this subject, I offer a few reflections. It may be a question worth settling in this controversy, what is the principal use to which distilled liquors are applied? Is manufacturing or drinking the incident? If the arts create the great demand fortius commodity, there would be some reason in the defence of those who make whiskey. They could then say, they manufactured it for good and wholesome purposes, and should not be held accountable for its abuse. But certainly those availing them Selves Of this Of fence should rndcorur to show that it is true. By the census of 1840 there were in the United States 10 303 dis tilleries, manufacturing 41,402,627 galls Der vear. We have no means to ascertain what proportion of this quantity is used in manufacturing and in the arts. But we do know that a large proportion of it is drunk as vhinkey. But this is not all. A vast flood of inferior domestic brandy and cheap v ines is swallowed every year, audi these are but whiskey in disguise, a vile compound of that article, logwood, sugar of lead, and other as pestilent ingredients. There is an other method of disguising whiskey and cultiuating a taste for it quite as p'olific of drunkards as any other. The host of cheap patent medicines, the 'bitteis," "balsam of life," "cordials," and "drops," that are placarded at every corner, and of which it can be pleaded that they ate used for medicines, these are made of whisker, and the love of whiskey is the great reason why they sell. Any one who would consider the number of retail shops, the array of consumers that thrones each counter, and the vast amount of cheap liquors required for their supply, would not hesitate long in concluding that considerably the larger share of the fortyone millions of gallons annually made in this country, finds its way down human throats, rather than into lactory doori and the hands of the artizan. We hive a population of 17.000.000. I God only knows how many of these are drunkards. It used to be the estimate of such gentlemen as R. S., in speeches made upon Temperance, that the number was not far from 50-1.000. If this be true, and we may allow each one to consume forty gallons a year, we should have one half of the quantity manufactured consumed,withont t.ikiiu into the account the portion used hy those who claim to be moderate drinkers. But making every deduction for the extravagance of this estimate, we have hut to think on the great number of consumers ami the various guises under! which whiskey is presented to the public, to conrluJe that drinking is the principal use to which it is applied, the great object for which it is manufactured, and the all persuasive reason why its manufacture is a source of profit. The other assumpticn in this defence is a remarkable as any I ever knew to come from a man of intelligence, "The amount drunk does not depend upon the price, and therefore not upon the quantity manufactured, for those who want it Will have it regardless of price.'' A sasje conclusion, on one very different from the general opinion of mankind. Cheap as whiskey is, it still requires something to buy it with. Are there not those who are too poor to purchase a'l that their base passion clamors for? Increase the quantity manufac tured:, and thus lessen me price, do you not place the article more nearly with the!

ream ot such persons? Let the quantity Abblt Kelly, the well know Anli-Sia-manuractured lessen, and as the price in-Jvery lecturer, was carried by force out ol creases, will not the number of those who the Orthodox Quaker Meeting, at Mount cannot purchase also increase? Suppose' Pleasant, Jefferson county, Ohio, on thu the quantity distilled was confined to the 7th inst. She endeavored to address the demand jfor other manufactures, would meeting on the subject of Slavery, and, benot the improper consumption be checked? ing requited to desist, declined doing so

l '? "niy unuue, that those who want

ulatesthe supply, and the converse of this rule is also true, that an abundant supply increases the demand. Tea was for many years after its introduction into Europe, beyond the means of any but the rich; improved commercial facilities in lime produced a supp.y bo abundant, at a price so reduced, that thi9 luxury came within the means of all. It was not long until a learned to drink it. But after all are these considerations, decide the questions las you may, such as

should occupy the mind of an advocate of Temperance, who seeks to determine whether he should or should not engage in distilling? Would snch a philanthropist be willing to embark in this business even though it could be demonstrated that the greater portion of whiskey is used in the arts? For if indeed the greater portion be so used, there still remains a vast surplus thai is not so used, so that the supply far exceeds any and all demands on 1 the score of manufactures. Surely he would ne a Dad casuist, who could conciliate his conscience by taking for granted, that his whiskey would be chiefly used for the arts, when far more than is required for such purposes is already manufactured. The correspondent of the '"Banner" might learn something by a closer consideratistv of these great distilleries, that "swallow up the little ones," where "sober men" are employed, and where whiskey is never permitted to be retailed. Can he find among the proprietors of such estab lishments any who concern themselves as to the application that is made of this whis key? No doubt they will eloquently chime it with R. S. in the argument that the great manufacturing interests require the production of whiskey, and that for this they make it. But if a customer applies te them with the ready money and the market price, will they trouble themselves w ith the inquiry, is the purchase for retailinsor for manufactures? Shameless hypocricy this, which recklessly perils the fortunes of our race, by furnishing men with the means of self destruction, and then beholding the work of death, coolly responds, that the weapons thus forged and sharpened have been perverted from their intended uses. The apothecary who ends arsenic for medicinal or mechanical use is innocent; he is dreadfully culpable before God and man if he sell it under circumstances of susjdeion; he is a murderer if he vend It for the purpose of murder. The distiller knows that much of what he sells eoes to work the undoing of his race; he sells blindly to all comer; a partot his pestiferous flood may find an inoffensive channel, but much of it flows through the land a river of death, bearing on its foul bosom thousands of poisoned wrvt.hoej iho KiTcia uf liuuunttj l-knr night and day to arrest its course and to snatch from its desolation all who are within reach; yet all the while he who sits at the fountain hea and whose arm is omnipotent to cut off or to continue the supply, still pours forth his tributary stream, i ipes his mouth in innocency, and claims credit indeed as one who is usefully employed in advancing the arts and manufac tures of his corntry ! How can those, who have taken part in the great awakening of the world to Ihis, evil of drunkenness, hesitate? It may be ;,i .v. ,, m,i .,;., k saivj mat ni.i wiui hviii - y v im i ,1 ini the habits of the individual; and that it is vain to 'attempt to cut-off the supply of strong drink, while the untamed passion for it exists. Suppose a Temperance man convinced by arguments that R. S. finds unanswerable, embark his capital in distilling. with what face could such a pseudo philanthropist approach a fellow man to warn him of danger and to solicit back to a path of safety? How would he feel his hands bound and his tongue silenced by the reflection that he himself was a maker of the poison against which his warnings are directed. How would he perceive his moral influence perverted by such inconsistency, and how soon would the generous teel tigs that once urged him to do crtod to his brother, die with the death of a conscience slain by the lust of gold. L. M. N. THE PORK MARKET. From some indications here, we feat that higher prices are offered for Pork, than will be sustained. Last year we furnished the facts, which show the great falling off in the number of higs. It was strictly accurate, and the hiaher pnees, wh.ch followed, were sustained, nut does the same state of facts now exist? It is loo early to speak positively; but we in'clinetothe opinion that the number of hogs will be found larger tit proportion this year, and it is very certain there is Corn enough to fat them. Let no one be deceived about crops. Corn is abundant. Is there any great demand? We dare say, many calculate n Army contracts: But the Army is not increased. It is only mated. Cin. CArort. Rogers, in "The Herald of Freedom," says: A man might as well be caught without ! his shadow, as without money. There was a story about a man's having sold his shadow to Satan, and every body fled from him as if he had the plague to see him moving about in fair ccalher and no shadow accompanying him. It was enough to scare any body. But to be moneyless it is an irremediable misfor tune a a hopeless bereavement. on the ground that she felt it to be her du-

The Copper Region. The Copper region on Lake Superior is attracting great attention, and is the seat of many wild and extravagant speculations. Copper Harbor is a beautiful little cove on the northern coast of Point Keewyeenon, 15 miles from its head, and about one hundred miles from the Sault St. Marie. On it Fort Wilkins has recently been erected, which is now occupied by U.S. Uoops,and commanded by Captain Alburtus, who has

it in charge to protect the miners.and keep tne peace among them and among the Indians. We annex interesting extracts from a letter from Copper Harbor to the Cleveland Herald. Extract of a letter to th-. Cleveland Herald dated Sept. 6, 1845. There are at this time several geologists on Lake Superior, and all of them agree that there is a large amount of valuable mineral upon its shores. But without ex ception they regard the region as yet but little known, and the nature of the country so adverse to rapid exploration, that a year or two.or perhaps ten years may be requir ed to ascertain its real value. Dr Hough ton has spent seven years, more or less of the time in the copper formations. He is now surveying the south shore of the lake into sections under a Government con tract, on which he is progressing with sur prising rapidity. This survey is to be at the same time a thorough geological one and the report, when completed with maps and illustrations, will be more perfect than any similar survey yet made. It will re fleet honor upon the government which has ordered it to be made, and add fame to the individual who makes it Dr. Jackson of Boston, who made the survey of Maine and New Hampshire, is at Eagle river, 20 miles west of this. Mr. James Hall, of the New York survey, is al 6o in the country, and Prof. Mather and Col. Foster, late of the Ohio survey. Mess Hodges, Hurd and Whitney, mining engi neers, w ith other gentlemen of scientific and practical knowledge of mines and min erals, are spending a portion of th e season in researches. As far as I know, all these gentlemen regard the mining region ss a valuable one, and likely to yield, if properly worked, national and individual wealth. But they all speak as yet with hesitation about particular locations, because it is im possible from limited observation to do otherwise. The whole country is matted over with evergreens so thick that none but the most hardy woodsmen can penetrate far from the coast. Copper beds are not in stiata like coal, but in thin irregular streaks or veins, not always easily detected where the rock is.uncovered, but found with great difficulty where it is, as here, covered with timber, ire?, t.rusn, wceus, moss and rotten logs. D? an examination of the books of the agency, it appears tha t about 500 permits have already been loca ted. Of these only 36 have received leases, and only three are as yet worked. Perhaps ten more are undergoing detailed explorations by sinking shafts. Of the remainder of the 500. aot more than thitty locations bvebeen made nnderacfi.aiand judicious exploration. Up to the 17th of ' .. -,. c .2 1T Z r ' ,MC auuu. 800. 1 hese papers in the hands principally of residents in the cities of the East, were sent here to be located bv agents or attorneys. A few in stances will show Aoip th is has been done Prof. Shepherd, of New Haven, a min ing engineer of some reputation, had spent some weeks about the mouth of Dead Man's River. Two or three locations had been made fiere on the strength of some specimens of copper and lead, and thus the matter rested. Mr. Shepherd was of course watched, as all real explorers are, and every word he uttered remembered and repeated. He remarked that he tho't he observed tiro particles of gold in a spe cimen from that region, and that the gold rock appeared to be present. The conse quence was the immediate location of about two townships of land in that vicini ty, or about 70 permits. I am told by an explorer that had been on the Ontonogan and come here to make some locations, that GO permits were put on the ground surrounding his location, based upon the mere fact of his location, and by persons who had never seen the country. Another instance is related, on good au thorit of a trick played off by one of the geolosista who marked out a fictitious lo:Uon in penn, upon ,he ofr,ce maP) ,nd ,u i,i h .rti.t in as soon as the papers could be certified to sixteen permits were pnt on the surround ina around. I have also heard of another like case. Although Dr. Houghton and the govern ment surveyors are progressing rapidly with their work, a large portion of the lo cations are not surveyed, but exist only in description. The interior lakes and rivers are of course as yet unknown, and consequently many of the perraitt supposed to be upon mountains and mineral dykes, are in swamps and lakes. Probably 400 out of the 500 locations already made, and upon which the ownera are seeking purchasers in the States and cities, are of the kind 1 have been describing. Very few have been made by the mining engineers and geologists, who still retain their permits for future use. The specimens produced as coming from these random locations, so fat as I have seen them, are all from the Copper Harbor or Eaale Hiver mines, the former a blaik oxid the latter native copper in specks. This process is called gtajling a location. You will see how necessary it will he for purchasers to have the certificate or the representation of some competent and reliable person who has explored the location and obtained specimens from it huforp ihev Drocure copper stock or lorations.

Nature and Art-An Epigram, 1 By R. Morris, Editor Penn. In-ptirer. When Eve, the first of womankind, As Queen of Eden roved, Her thoughts were pure as mountain wind: And all who saw her, loved. The eagle screamed a lofty note, The lion tossed his mane, And e'en the linnet's little throat Essay'd a flattering strain. The eye the lip the soul-fraught face. These won the first of men: Each movement gave to life a grace, To deck the mother of our raceThere were no bustles then. Civilization and Art An Epigram. By J. It. Chandler, Esq., Editor United States Gazette. When Eve through early Eden moved, And turned her maiden voice, It was not strange that Adam loved, He'd only "Hobsom's choice." But when ten gtrles are found at home, With ch ance for scarce txco men, No trifegrace, nor "linnet's hum." Will catch the beaux to make them come Each girl must bustle then.

And I when only twenty two, And feeling younger every day, To be disturbed by such as you? Begone I say. I'll pluck thee from thy stolen lair; And then no horrid gray shall mix With, my beloved cherished hair, 'Till fifty-six! But if I pluck thee, more will grow: One every day to say the least: Gray hair! thou art a fearful foe, A hideous beast! I'm not as yet among the rocks And quicksands of this mortal life: And yet there.s gray among my locks; I'll lake a rife! We saw yesterday, (says th Baltimore American.) at the residence of Mr. Romu tun, u. urrimtn, in tniscity, a counterpane maaeoy .airs. Ann Warner, of Hartford county, Md., a lady now in her 94th year. It is a beautiful article, both as a specimen of fine needle work and in respect to the ta ste displayed in the arrangement of the numberless pieces rf hirh it is composed. In the centre of it is the following inscription: XUlUUIIUaoia.uiau.cuif viay. TH E OR A TOP, PATRIOT AMD PHILANTHROPIST In token of admiration of his renins and his virtues, I present this pieve of needlework, BY MRS. ASN WARMER, Executed by her own hand in the 93d year of her aije. Baltimore, tb 15. While lingers still my setting sun, And life's last sands in silence fall, Ere death's rude hand the glass shall break And o'er ruins spread the pall I lift the voice which "mid the storm Of w ar our early patriot blest, And with its dying accent hail The patriot hero of the West. Oh hallowed be thy matchless worth By whole Ration's love and prayers; And thy eventful being close Lamented by a nation's tears. The old lady completed the counterpane in about six weeks, without assistance from any one. The spirit vhich animated her whilst engaged in rendering this handsome ttibute from age to the great American statesman may be inferred from this inscription. The article will be taken in charge by James II. Merriwealher, Esq., of Cincinnati, and by him despatched to Mr. Clay's residence. Dry Goods. This branch of the trade of Cincinnati continues large. Last year some of our Job Houses, who had partners residing East, and who have ample means, started upon the plan of selling goods as low as they could be purchased from any of the Jobbing Houses in the Atlantic cities and brought to the West, obviating the necessity for the retailer to go East. It has worked satisfactorily, both to ihe purchaser and seller. The profits are small, it is true, but the risk is less, for in selling in this way a better clas of merchants are in the market, buying for csh and shoit paper. For the last month a great many merchants from Western Virginia, Ken tucky, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, unio, &c, have been in town, buying freely, and'keeping ourwholesale merchants hard at work, day and night. Our canal and river landings have been crowded with i,.rii9t. comins in and going out.

burgh papers busy themselves in making. comparative statements of the costs Gf 1 transportation, from the Eastern Cities, by he way of the Pennsylvania Canals and the Ohio River, and by the Toledo and the Miami Canal route. We do not complain of this, so far as facts are concerned, for the public by comparing the facts connected with the two routes, learn which route is the cheapest and best. The statement below is furnished by Jones & Taylor, one of our most respectable forwarding houses. Received 27th September, 1845, by ca nal boat connected with Griffith's Line, by wayorioledo, sundry packages of Dry Goods, 7027 lbs. at $1,25 from New York to Cincinnati, amount of costs 82,88 covermg all charges, freights, drajagc, commission, forwarding, &c. Received the 29:h September, 1845, by steamer Ohio Mail, sundry boxes merchandise, through the Pennsylvania Canal, weighing 5824 lbs; on which the freight (40 cents from Pittsburgh,) and charges amount to $170 62. Thus it appears that the transportation of 7027 lbs. by the northern route, did not cost one half tlie sum charged for 5824 lbs. by the Pennsylvania route. Cm. Gaz. New York; Sept. 21 The foreign news received yesterday had a good deal of effect upon our markets. Cotton advanced i ale per lbt with sales of 3000 bales. Flour declined, and although the sales were not to sufficient extent to establish the market, a decline of 6iaI21c was submitted to. Sales ofGenessee were made at SI 7oa4 6S$. The receipts via the North River, for the weekending the 2'Jth, were 51,3)3bb!s. Pork and Beef dull and heavy. Lard and Tallow were in demand for export, and prices bad an upward tendency. Cor. Bait.

Bi:tter. The decree of comparison in this market are, horrible, baJ, tolerable. We seldom see any butter in the market which merits a higher term. Vast quanti lies exposed for sale, and brought upon compulsion, and eat through dire necessity, would, iii New York, or Philadelphia, never be quoted as butler, but only as crease! Sour-bitter cream, from dirty re ceptacles, yields butter depraved from the very churn; but lard being added, and buttermilk not subtracted, it travels to market in hot weather, and its charms ore exposed in a very melting mood. 0!i for a reformation in the dairy! While old farmers hunt good breeds of cows, we hope young farmers will find a breed of wives, who shall know that there is such a virtue as cleanliness. Poverty is not disgraceful, but Hastiness is. The practice of rolling butter in linen cloths is not good. In warm weather it sticks, and in all weather butter takes a pecnliar taste from the cloth. Besides, though we believe in saving old shirts, we don't like the economy of tearing them up for bultcr rags. Poor as our hutter is there is seldom a lump without a shirt to its back. At any rate, it behooves us to know out of whote inner garment we kre eating; for, we suppose, even cannibals have a choice of what men they shall eat. Farmer and Gard"ner. Language. The endless diversity of wor Js and id ioms compiiscd in the two thousand languages spoken by the human race, the endless variety of musical tones and expression, are not so astonish ing, as the simplicity oi tne macnine i which these wonderful result s are pro - Imospheric duced. A single volume of atmos air, expired by the lungs, modulated by the larynx, ariiculated by the tongue, the palate, the teeth and the lips, is wrought into these infinitely varied manifestations of human thought and feeling. It gives an intelligible form to the inward workings of the soul utters its mightiest thoghts assumes the nicest shades of its pleasurable and painful emotions: nay, it sweeps over mysterious chords existing in thesoul of others, and awakens sympathetic joy, grief, hoj e and terror in the breast of thousands. It becomes eloquence, philosophy, music. Yes it becomes the favorite instrument hy which the Most High communicates his will to the human race. The human voice has been employed to utter the secrets of the eternal mind; to tell of eternity past and eternity to come; to awaken penitence and hope in the bosom of guilty man, and to recall an alienated world lo theobidience and love of its Creator.
