The editor of the Canton Transcript copies our announcement of the decease of the Patriarch of the Zoaritea, and writes thus of that singular people. The sketch is graphical and truUlul: The Patriarch f Zoar now sleeps in the tomb. The history of this community is of interest, as exhibiting tho moral force of single individual as well as a practical demonstration ofsocif Usui."Wo bavo always boon impressed with the idea that this colony, (originalI" consisting of about two hundred indi viduala,) left Wurtembtirg, in Germany, on accouut of religious persecution. They are in religion what is termed Separatists, because they separat Irom Luther and others: or rather, they are diaciples of Jacob Ik-hman, who I lourishcd ome two hundred years since. "They embarked for the New World fron Germany in the spring of 1317, and landed in IMiiUdelphu in August ol the same year. W hen they lauded on our shores they were poor in purse and ignorant of the manners and customs of the Americans. The Qutkers ot Philadelphia rendered them asdialunce, and iim nniWr anl.l tli.Mit Ä.ÄOO acr'4 ot 1 tiff Im, I Ksifl IilllifiarV UU, VTtllVII IV....W.IJ 1 1 " www.. . ....... . land, at a very moderate price and upon a long credit, mis tana wai imuu-u in the vicinity ol whit was known ad Port Luwreiict, in Tuocura.vu Co., Ohio. "Subject to alt manner of privationM and toil incident to aettiing in a new country, yet undisttntyed and with cheerful hearts d'd thi eomuun.ity toil on, surmounting dülicu.iliee ainl obnliu-lea which wo.ild have appalled Iim hardy pioneers. For alltheir toil, piiv.uiuiiH, and inconvenience, tliey loll them.-olvei repaid in tho privilege of worshipping God according to the dictates ot their conscience, without any nieddüng privet to persecute, or tyrant to oppress. "This Community or association preseat to ui the corroboration of some great truths. They commenced in abject poverty itceped in indbbtedncss, with no guarantie to pay their indebtedaess, except their own proverbial economy, and their own brawoylnd muscular Arms. In little moro than a quarter of . a century, by rigid application of maxims learned in Fatherland, they have by their industry accumulated property which is worth more than half a million of dollars. Tbey have adhered to certain fixed principles, and have ever held them sacredly in view, and now in the evening ol their life, they are enjoying the abundant harvest of their early labor. But their Patriarch is with them no tnoe. lie has fulfilled his destiny, and his mission is apparent to every one who has arrived at that point in philosophy which lurmshej us with an insight into the motives of mankind. Tho problem has been solved that a community can exist in peace, quietness, hurinony and love, where a manifestation of the buer passions, j.tils, judges, jurors, and all the endless paraphernalia attendant upon the administration of Statut Law are strangers. The problem h-is been solved, that tue doctrine of the Nazarene, "Love thy neighbor as thyself," and the new commandment which he gave his dUci(lcs "Love one anolh. er," are fundamont.il principles of society; a perversion of thece doctrines are fraught with alt the evils we daily witness in society. Yet the Zoarits believe not in the mission of the Nazarene. Many entertain fears that the Community will now bo dissolved. We ven ture to predict that so long as any of those bardy pioneers, who have borne the burden of the heat and tabor for onethird of a century, exist, the community will not be dissolved. If it were disaofred, ere twelve months it would again ' be formed. The ties, the trials, the as sociations, the labors, the sufferings of a lifetime are not dissolved In a moment. The Pioneers are too old to learn the ways of the world in the evening of their life. The prisoner who after thirty years confinement was liberated, after , enjoying his liberty two days, required to be sent back to prison it was his home and he desired no ether. The Zoar community is not a monarchy, but an (elective system in which females enjoyed an equal right with tho males. Poetical aad Practical.

Tho desiro to take its innocent life was tho flrüt impulse, and, acting from tliU, he seized his gun, and taking a deadly aim, bereft it in uu intUuut of life. As tho bird Ic'l, hu saw his children run and lilt it from the ground, but they did not see lain, in a little while aiterwarue, no cuine into the room where they were tili mourning over tho wreck ot life and beauty that he lnid so wantonly made.

'Yes, it was a cruel act' said he to himself; 'but I will not again lift my hand against the lifo o( an innocent bird.' And he has kept hi word. Arthurs Gazette The .TIan and the Vine. In one of the early years after the creation of the world, man began to plant a vine, and Satan saw it, and drew near. 'What plantest thou, son of the earth! said tho prince of demons. A vine!' replied the man. What are the properties of thia treel' ' Oh, its fruit is pleasant to look at, and delicious to taste, from it is produced a liquid which fills the heart with joy.' 'Well, since wine makes glad tho heart of man, I will help thee plant this vine. Bo saying the demon brought a lamb and slew it; then a lion, then an ape, and last a pig, killing each in succession, and moistening the roots of tho vino with tho blood. Thence it has happened ever since, that when a man drinks a small portion of tho wine, he becomes jentlo andca-i ressing as a lamb, after a little more, i strong and bold as the lion; when he! takes stilt more, he resembles an ope in his folly, and absurd and mischieyou ctions; but when he Ii h swallowed it to j excess, he is like a j i wallowing in tho mire. ft7" A lad from ''(Jreen Isle," whose occupation was that of blucking stoves, ' fire places and stove pipes, bearing upon ! his arm a pot of blacking, with brushes and other implements n his trade, ad-; dressed a denizen of the city who waa standing nt liisi loor: j "Has your honor uny sjvo3 to polidh ; this in urn i ng!

Con traat. The New York Economist runs a parallel between the United States Army, anu what it coats the country, and a Railroad army of like numbers,and the great gjod it is capable of accomplishing. It would be well for all political economists lo study well lbs picture. Here il is: The United Stales army numbers about 10,000 men, aud they cost the country last year $a,y5,Slb" for pay, subsislauce, clothing, &c. That is to suy, $;!J0 per man, or if we deduct the militia expenses, bOl) per man. It would puxzlu any one lo tell of what service wore th oso inen, living ules.dy In barrucks aud old forts, eating three meals per day, and turning out occasion illy to louoli their caps to their olhccrs. "The Illinois Central Railroad army numbers ten thousand men also, and they rrccivo from the company $3,700,000 per annum, in return lor which they labor twclvo hours per day upon a work which gradually stretches itself though tho tnot fertile plains, connecting the great lakes with tho Ohio und Mississippi rivers, and ultimately with the Gulf of Mexico. Tho relative advantages ot those two armies to society, present an interesting matter for study, and are graphically sketched by the New York Post. The piospuclico building of lho great Central Kailroad of Illinois alone, hus added to the wealth ofthat titato, in Ihe appro priation of wild lauds, tho sum ot lorty millions within a strip of twelve miles in width, and the actual construction of tho road will bring to a ready market millions of acres of land now owned bytho General Government, which, were tho road not constructed, would lay wnsto for years to como. Tho Federal fiov. crnmeLt employs ten thousand nion, at an expense of eight millions of dollars to carry muskets. Tho Central Rail road Company employing ten thouuand men at less than four millions, confers a vast property upon tho Stato, upon tho Federal Government and upon thousands of fanners. Year after year, the Federal government spends its millions of dollars, cflectin? nothing, aud reultingiu nothing but tho turning loose of superanuatcd soldiers, mado paupers by a life ot idleness, to prey upon the industrious during the remainder of their existence. The Illinois company, by three years expenditure, establishes seven hundred miles of iron rails through prolific farms, many of them owned bj the persons whom they employed to build the road men of industry, vigor, wealth, and intelligence. The United States, in thir ty years, have spent $300,000.000, enough to build a doublo track to the Pa cific, and thiy have nothing to show for the money but some old forts, guns, tattered uniforms.and demoralized veterans.

Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune. Mfeal Hi ITIetropolia. Washington, Mon. Sept. ID, 1S.13. Yesterday was very warm, and many Southerners are in consequence dinposed to halt on their way back from the North. The president attended, as has been his want, dilTcrent churches in the morning and afternoon. We notice with somo snrpriio the immensesubscrlption of Mr. Walker to tho Pacific Kailroad, and wonder where the means aro to come from to make it good. He mat be looking to fill consecutively tho unapplied Foreign Missions, and avail himself of the snug out-fits, but even these w ill lo but a drop in his bucket. Th? Administration seems still bent on filibustering. Mr. Curbing lately attended an Agricultural meeting at Kockville.in an adjoining county of Maryland. His theme, in placo of being in accordance with, and appropriate to, tho peaceful pursuits the assemblage was-convened lo celebrate, was a glorification of the principles of Manifest Destiny, of which ho seems to consider himself tho Apostlo. Charles O'Cunor, from your State.has been to-dny closeted with the President, as also has been tho Hon. Wm. Allen, of Ohio, who is said to bo looking tor n

He is a second time a widower his last wi to was a daughter of John Sergi'itnt of Philadelphia. With grown-up il ui .'liters, he still soems in the prime ol lue. Tho determination to appoint Mr. Ma -ion has, perhaps, left nothing more lor h:m to consumate at tho Capitol. Thech:niges at the PrcsiJfnt'a House are n;ii.!ly progressing.

Sandusky &. Fort Wayne Heads. We are happy in beingable to say to our readers, this morning, that the terminns of tho Fort Way no road has been tin ally fixed at New Albany, and as we think on very favorable terms. The basis of theagreemcnt cr.t.-rcd into between the comtnitteo representing the Fort Wayne company, and th committee on the part of our city is briefly as follows: The city of New Albany Is to subscribe in tho stock of the Fort Wayne road $300,000 and 300,000 in the Sandusky road. The stock already subscribed, or agreed to bo subscribed in the counties of Clark and Scott (including Jeffersonville.) ofthe Fort Wayne road amounting to $450,050 Is to be equally divided

I between tho two,. ay .5225,000 in each, j This makes tho joint subscription of the thrco counties, 6(025,000 tn the Fort Wayno road, and $525,000 in the Sandusky road. In addition to this, the citizens of Lexington and Scott county, pledge themselves for an additional subscription of $50,000 in tho Sandusky road, thus increasing the stock otthat coinf any to $575,000. Should the counties of Clark and Scott fall short of tho $150,000 proposed to bo subscribed in the two roads, jointly independeutof the s?50.000 to be subscribed in the SandusKy road, by the people of Lexington, then tho subscription of New Albany m.iy bo reduced pro rata, Jeffersonville, Charleston, und Lexiiigton, uro to be mad e points on me two roudii. lho ro&da uro to pass over a common road bed, to bo gruded for a doubl track as fur as Lexington, say 34 miles. The road bud to be made at tho common cost of the two companies, and t ) be owned in common. Iloth companies have the rlht to lay down a se pa rtite and independent track at any time but the Sandusky road takes prece deuce. In the event that the Fort Wuyne Company should defer laying down their track for the present, the Sandusky Company grants them the privilejo of using their track in common with themselves, upon tho payment of 5 per cent per annum of the pi ime cost of the same together with all her depo's, water stations &c, and 5 percent upon the cost ol all necessary repairs during the perlod of joint occupancy of said track, the Sandusky Company reserving to tuem selves the right of terminating the joint occupancy at any time after rive years, by giving two yours notice. It is also agreed that if the Sandusky road should not be completed within a reasonable time, or should not terminate at New Albany, or the Sandusky Company should disagree to the stipulations, as to the joint occupaucy of the road then the city of New Albany is to subscribe in the stock of the Fort Wayne road the sum of 8350,000. Such are briefly the terms of the agreement, as entered into between the two committees, aud as approved by the City Council with only two dissenting votes. We may refer to this matter again and more fully, on our return from tho railroad convention at Eaton, which commences to-morrow. New Albany Trib. (jAn amusing story is told of a young Parsian artist, who lately painted a portrait of a duchess, with which her frie nds were not satisfied, declaring that it was totally unlike. The painter, however, was convinced that he bad succeeded admirably, and proposed that the cjucblion of resemblance or no resemblance should be left to a little dog belonging to the duchess, which was agreed to. Accordingly the picture was sent to tho hotel of the lady next day, and a larire party assembled to witness the test.

Our Cairo correspondent, Mose, has sent us correct particulars, which we publish for the novelty of the whol3 affair. At a house in Metropolis, 111., a large crowd had gathered around a gaming table. Ad old citizen ot Cairo by the name of McUuire, quarreled with a very green young man and created quite an excitement. McQuire seized an empty gun and drew it 0n the other, who flew round the room mnr,W. mi,l t'. ah..,.t. r th. delighted crowd, who knew the run was unloaded. Tho young man finally got concerned, when he happened to think of his bowie knife, which he drew and ; desapringly used against McGuire. He ' literally cut him to mince meat, and did not ccaße cutting and sticking until for- ' cibly compelled to quit by the crowd. , McGuire died in two minutes.
