That notice has neer yet been given by either parIT. and the su)i-ct cf the settlement is still open to both, ' .. J .- t I- H'.t..... ;.v..l according la a treaty stipulation Mr. Webaier wished to spea very eautiouslv, and hoped thai the utmost care would be taken that he should not be misunderstood. He would ssy, what all knew, that this is a sulject for negotiation, for d scuwion, fur amicable settlement it always has been ). Ia this rpirif, the government of this country hae several times, in 1819. IS-4, and 1826, proposed a line of division lot a compromise, for discussion, &c. Mr. Webster alluded to the discussion which took place in tbe British Parliament, on the reception of President Pola'a massige on th.s su' j.xt, the reports of which he bad read wi h intense interest; and he mttkt tay that the remarks the Briliih minister on that occasion -were tuch at were proper, und made in a temper becoming a large minded, liberal tiatetman. lie was disposed to adopt tbe words of the English minister on that occasion, who said that England had rights that ought to be and roust be respected. He (Mr. Webster) would say that this country had lig'ils which ouht to be, which should be, and which must be re-pet ted. He would not express an opinion as to the manner in which ibis could be settled, but he had no doubt it couid be settled honorably aud securely to the rights of a I parties." The speech of the British Minister, which Mr. Webster thinks so deserving of approbation, is that in which we were threatened with the whole power of Britain, in consequence of rrestdent Polk having said, in his inaugural address, that our title to Oreiron was 'clear and unquestionable.' TAc Presidtnt tci'l adh're to that declaration a statement which we make advisedly- The Democratic party will support the President in carrying out the measures necessary to support our title vigorous war measures, if they shall, unhappily, become indispensable in upholding our rights. The people will back up the Democracy, and if the whigs choose to carry out their imitation cf the old federalists, and side with the enemy, they will be as effectually ued up as the federalists were Federal acts will bring with them federal fate. That they will thus act, we doubt not. As little doubt have we of their being grouud to an impalpable powder, for their want of patriotism and their transcen dent folly. We quote further from the report of Mr. Webster's remarks, a3 they are given in tue lJäton Courier Mr. Webster alluded to the situation of the country of Orezon. which was three thos-anJ miles from the U.u ted Slates, and twice as many from England; that in the course of a few years, probably within the knowledge of many now present, it would be settled by fifty to a hun dred thousand people, mostly from this country, ana arreat many from Great llritain all, at any rate, Angloöaions. Tbe period, then, is not far distant when, from the shores of Western America, we shou d see springing Ui a creat Pacific republican nation, -which would not con tent to acknowledge allegiance cither to thii country or to Englands that this great republic would probably adopt all the great principles which we have innen. ed l:om our fathers. He would not undertake to sty where it would be located, whether on the Columbia river, or further south: but that a great and independent nation would arise on the shores vf the Pacific, and at a period not so remote a many persons might suppose, he was confident ITa ilcnrerated. then, all stormv defiance on our side, as well as all reference on the other to the great maritime power of England, both of which promised only all the horrors of war, apaiasl which the spirit of the age was al together opposed. It will be seen, from the above, that Mr. Webster contemplates the existence of a great western republic on the shores of the Pacific. His remark puts us in mind of a paragraph which we saw in a 2few York paner a few days since. It appears tüat Mr. w hiiney whose magnifiM" project for a Railroad to the Pacific is now before the country, asked Mr. Webster if he was favorable to the scheice. Mr. ebster answered with what Napoleon would have called a superb No !" and when asked his reasons for his opposition, replied : Because I will not support any means of improving the intercourse with the country west of the Rocky Mountains. All that country must become a separate and distinct natim ; and for that object, I will oppose this railroad with all my influence." Fortunately, Mr. Webster's influence is not potential, though great, and the project, or something involving the same results will undoubtedly succeed. If there is one reason more than another, why we should extend our laws over Oregon immediately, it is to prevent the realization cf the hopes of Mr. Webster and his friends, namely, that an independent nation, the future rival of the United States, may be established west cf the Rocky Mountains. No such nation must be allowed to grow up there. All the country is more or less interested in preventing it from coming into existence. In an especial degree is the West thus interested. It is life and death matter with us, and we must look to it, that the wealthy Yankees do not trick us out of cur rights. Jtalousy of the West is at the bottom of the whole matter ; and Mr. Webster is but the mouth-piece of that party in the East which has ever viewed the extension of our dominion with an absolute abhorrence, and essayed to prevent it by deeds so closely resembling acts of treason, that it is hard to see the points of difference. The lending New England Whigs know that it is rather money than territory which governs, within certain, limits ; and that, the less extended our country the greater will be their sway, as they are the monej'ed men of the nation. In this is to be seen the cause of all their opposition to the various steps by which we have gradually reached our present extent ; and from the same feeling will come all future opposition to the extension of the area of freedom. They will battle against our claim to Oregon, because its maintenance will tend to weaken their power, and place the control of the national Government forever beyond their reach. To maintain their supremacy, they are ready to waive every thing, to abandon an immense territory, and to give up to another nation the future immense commerce of the Tacific and the orient. They are shrewd men, too, and see ia the acquisition of Oregon, the transference of commercial supremacy to the West, so that to our territorial power, will be added another great element of strength. The vast change which must eventually happen ia commerce, from the control of the Pacific by this country, one ... -. - i . . i - . j. or tne positive resuus oi iue maintenance or our right to the trWe of Oregon, and the acquisition of California, 13 not unknown to them ; and they have no desire to see the commercial sceptre firmly grasped by western hands. The East must then be second to the West, in aU respects. Ibn-e the bitterness of tbeir opposition to a measure so sure of resulting in immense benefit to us. Were they to look a little deeper inty the matter, perhaps they might see in the growth of our commerce, the surest guarantee of the increase of their own ; and while compelled, by causes byend human coatrol, to recede from the first position, so that we may occupy it, materially increase their own business, at the same time advancing tbe glory of cur common country. But soctionalism never reasons ; and for an old dynasty to make way for a new one, however imperative the change, 13 a matter which never will be gracefully performed. But the change has already commenced, and New England will find it as vain, before the hpse of thirty years, ta contend against its consummation, as did Venice to strive against Portugese enterprise, when its discovery of the passage to India by the Cape of Good Hope, gave a new channel and a new character to a most important branch of trade, and withdrew the golden sceptre of commerce from the city of the hundred isles. Dreadful and Remarkable Accident. Mr. Hiram Tharp, of Morristown, N. J., was dangerously injured on Thursday last by the falling of a ladder whilst he was painting a hou3e. He fell about 30 feet and struck on the palings of a fence, one of which entered his left breast near his lungs, and another in bis back. He freed himself from his impalement and went home unaided, his breath fushing through tbe orifice in bis side. Although so danger ously wounded, he ia in a fair way of recovery. j Jrrseymtn. t

Jl.. -; lieve that the British are aiming at California? and though its value to them has been diminished by tle We be loss oi lexas, u is s;iu great in connection wuu tneir contemplated canal across Central America But we must not permit the British Government to place its foot upon California. We must allow no more British colonies on the continent, no more obstacles to the extension of our confederacy, and therefore must exclude them from California at the cannon's mouth, if we cannot do it by milder means. But milder means are in our power. We can purchase California of Mexico, or what is much better, can ad mit Mexico to our confederacy. But perhaps the pur chase of California would be the best step at present, ill Mexico can be better prepared for annexation. The purchase would put something into Us empty treasury, remove all existing difliculties between the two nations, lead to that mutual good-will which would speedily prepare Mexico for annexation, and defend it in the mean time, as our ally, against Bri tish intrigue and French aggression. Mexico has no community of interest with either of these European powers, for neither will seek even commerce with it, excepting with the prospect of plunder; and it has already suffered enough trom their aggressive and arrogant spirit, to entertain any doubts about the dangers of their contiguity. Possessing California, the Br.tish would treat the Mexicans as they have the Hindoes, exciting quarrels among them, to obtain pretexts for interference, conquest and annexation. For neighbors, the Mexicans would prefer us to the British: flr they would feel secure with us under treaties but must know that treaties would not bind the British. They have never regarded treaties, when pounds sterling would Ajw from their violation. And as allies, the Mexicans would find us interested in their prosperity, and the British interested only in their dependence on British workshops. Therefore if the road to union between the united states and Mex ico be opened, the Mexicans would soon forget their animosities araint us, and perceive that we were their safest and strongest friends. And if Mexico depends on European alliances for protection against us, it stands upon a sandy foundation. These very II1 is . . -l alliances would perpetuate animosities oeiween tue United States and Mexico, which would eventually lead to the conquest of the latter by the former, a conquest which all Europe could not prevent, rsui ii Mexico depends for support on our confederacy, it is invulnerable against all Europe. Therefore let us purchase California, as a preparatory step to union with Mexico. Philadelphia Ledger. The Oregon Tkade A Peep into Tns Pacific. The last intelligence informs us that there are now two packets running between Oregon City and Honolulu, one of the Sandwich Islands. One of these is an American packet, and the other belongs to the Hudson's Bay Conirwinv. This fact is the initial of one of the greatest commercial revolutions which the world has seen. Look at the map. Fix your points at Liverpool, Boston, St. Louis, Oregon City and Canton. Then calculate the freight and time required by a bale of goods transported around Cape Horn to Canton. Then take the same bale or yoods by steam car from Boston to Oregon City, and then by steam packet from Oregon to Canton. If the goods go from England, by Cane Horn, it will save ten thousand miles to take them across the American continent! If they go from the United States, there is a saving of two-thirds of the whole distance! That the trade of the United States will take that course, provided the communication is bv Bteam, no one can doubt. It is vain to talk about the Panama route if you can go by steam to Oregon. What in thirty-three years (the average genera tion) will be the effect of turning the Pacific trade across the continent: in mat time, the population of the United States will be fitly millions, and its commercial marine the greatest in the world. The ports of China and its vast trade are and will be opened to all nations. The waters of the pacific are comparatively smooth, and the voyage safe. What does the reader imagine will be the effect of pourinjj the trade of the United States and its fifty millions cf people, active, ingenious and industrious, across the continent of America upon the ancient fields of Asial Vast, indeed, will be tie revolution in commerce, and equally great will be the revolution in the civilization of Asia! All this may appear to some minds as dream, but it is a necessity of commerce, science and art. It will happen, as certainly as the United States continue to grow. In ancient Asia and in modem Asia, the internal trade of those continents was carried on by caravans Some of the largest cities in Asia were built op by the caravan trade. The introduction cf an inland trade across the continent of America is the same thing as there existed, only carrying on that trade by steam. When this nation looks out across the Tacific on the fields of Asia, a cmix will have come in this world's affairs, like that grand catastrophe which took place when the blue-eyed German and the hungry Goth looked down upon the beautiful plains of Italy. The hour will have come for mighty changes in. the human family. These things must take place, and they will come soon before another generation has expired and America these United States will be the grand instrument in all the world's future revolutions. C'in. Chronicle, whig. ' The Proposed Arbitration. A writer in the Boston Courier, a leading whig paper, reduces to an absurdity the common arguments in favor of leaving the Oregon question to be settled by a third power, in the following exceeding clever manner: "Xvn enn'tat, that whoever refuses to submit his case to arbitration, impliedly admits that his case is a bad one. On the contrary, it often happen1, and may well happen, that, in proportion to a man's conviction of the strength of his cause, will be his determination not to submit his case to an arbiter. In general, I may say, the advice given by experienced lawvers to their clients in regard to arbitration, is as follows : If vour case is a bad one. if vou have no probable chance of success in the regular course of justice, try to prevail on your adversary t: submit the matter to arbitration, and two to one, by the influence of some mistaken notion of equity, (against rimt,) or by some split-the-difference frame tf mind on the part of the referees, you will get something where you ought not to have any thing. Un the other hand, if your case is a perfectly clear one, beware how you refer it to arbitration, for in doing so, you render uncertain that which before might have been perfectly certain. In a multitude of cases, it is easy to predict beforehand what will be the decision of courts, but in no case is it possible to count on the decision of arbitrators. And, in regard to all rights on property, of which any party has the possession, (actual or prospective,) still less would it be an admission of the weakness of his cause to refuse to submit euch right to arbitration. A man goes to you, and says, Sir, this is a very fine house you have been living in a number of years ; really, I should like to have such a bouse myself ; suppose we submit the question to referees whether you shall have it, or I. What would you do in this case 1 Would you agree to his proposition, through fear that to refuse it would be regarded by the world as an admission of the folly of your pretensions to be the ownpr 01 tbe house I Would you not rather tell the man to go to the d 1 with his arbitration, and perhaps favor him with a supplementary posterior salutation, or kick, to boot!" QThe Emperor nf China last year offered England an, annual tribute of 1,590,000, on condition that the cultnre of opium should be prohibited in the British possessions. He implored the English to have compassion on his people, and save them from the demoralizing influences of the drug. The British authorities replied in substance "Our profits on the opium trade amount to .2,500,000 annually. We cannot relinquish it for less than that sum." The Emperor couldn't afford to pay the additional million, ar.i bis people are now reaping the fruits of his pov erty and British cupidity.

Taking a IVcwspipcr. 1 A PRACTICAL STORY PLEASANTLY TOLD. Pleasant day this, neighbor Gaskill," said one

farmer to another, coming into the barn of the latter f! who wa3 engaged in separating the chaff from the, wheat croj by the means of a fan. "Very fine day, friend Alton any news!" re turned the ind. vidua! addressed. "No'hing of importance; I have called over to see if you wouldn't join Carpenter and myself in taking the paper this year. The price is only two dollars." " Nothing cheap that vuu don't want." returned Gaskill. in a oositive tone : " I don't believe in newar i . . A I papers; i nevtr neara oi one doing any good. Ji an! .11 i - . i I 8l' 7 une ippens to gei into our uouse, my galls are crazy alter it, and nothing can be got out ;0f them until it's read through. They would not U pood for & cent if a paper came every week. And, besides, dollars ain't picked up in every corn hill. 4 But think, neighbor Gaskill, how much information your gals would get if they had a fresh newspaper every week, filled with all the latest intelligence. The time they vould spend in reading would be nothing to what they would gain." " And what would they gain, I wonder 1 Get their heads filled with nonsensical stories. Look at Sally Black ; isn't she a fine specimen of one of your newspaper reading gals! Not worth to her father three pumpkin seed. I remember well enough when she was one of the most promising bodies about her. But her father was fool enough to take a newspaper. Any one could see a change in Sally ! She began to spruce up and to look smart. First came a bow on her Sunday bonnet, and then gloves to go to meeting. After that, she must be sent to school again, and that at the very time when she began to be worth something about home. And now she has got a forty piano, and a fellow comes every week to teach her music." "Then you won't join us, neighbor," Mr. Alton said, avoiding a useless reply to Gaskill. "O no! that I will not. Mney thrown away on newspapers is worse than wastPd. I never heard of their doing any good. The time spent in reading a newspaper every week woi;ld be enough to raise a hundrrd bushels of potatoes. 1 our newspaper, in my opinion, is a dear bargain at any ;;r.ce." Mr. Alton changed the subject, and soon leu neighbor Gaskill to his fancies. About three months afterwards, however, they again met, as they had frequently done during the ntermediate time. "Have you sold your wheat yet!" asked Alton. Yes, I sold it day bef re yesterday." 44 How much did you get for it ? " " Eighty-five." Mr " No more! Why, I thought every one knew that the price had advanced to ninety-live cents To whom d.d you sell : " ' To Wakeful, the storekeeper in R . He met me day before yesterday, and asked me if I had sold my cron vet. 1 said I had nut. He then offered to take it at eighty-five cents, the market price ; and I said he might as well have it; as there was doubtless little chance of its rising. Yesterday he sent over his wagon and took it away. ' llus was hardly fair in v akeful. He came to me also, and offered to buy my crop at eighty-five. But I had just received my newspaper, in which saw that in consequence of accounts from Europe, of a short crop, grain had gone up. I asked him ninety-five, which, after some haggling, he consented to give. Did he pay you ninetv-five cents ! " exclaimed Gaskill, in surprise and chagrin " He certainly did." Too bad! toj bad! No better than downright cheating, to take such shameful advantage of a man's ignorance. "Certainly, akeful cannot be justified in his conduct," replied Mr. Alton. It is not right for one man to taue aavantage or anouier man s ignorance, and get his goods for less than they are worth. But does not any man deserve thus to suffer who remains wholly ignorant, in a world where he knows there are always enough ready to avail themselves of his ignorance! Had you been willin? to expend two dollars tor the use of a newspaper for a whole year vou would have saved, in the sinjjle item of your wheat crop alone, fourteen dollars! just think of that! -Mr. aketul takes the newspapers, and, by watching them closely, is always prepared to make good bargains with some half-dozen others around hpre, who have not wit enough to provide themselves with the only sure avenue of information on all sub jects the newspapers Have you sold your potatoes ! " asked Gaskill with some concern in his voice "O no, not yet. Wakeful has been making me of fers for the last ten days. But, from the prices they are bringing in Philadelphia, 1 am well satisfied they are altout u.irty cents here. ' " About thirty ! Why I sold to Wakeful for about licenty-six cents ! A great dunce yon were, if I must speak so plain ly ; he offered me twenty-nine cents for four hundred bushels. Lut I declined. And I was right. They are worth thirty to-day, and at that price I am going to sell." "Isn't it too bad!" ejaculated the mortified far mer, walking backwards and forwards impatiently " There are twenty-five dollars literally sunk in the sea. inat wakelul has cheated me most outrage' ously " 'And all because you were, too close to take newspaper. I could call that saving at the spigot and letting out at the bung-holp, neighbor Gaskill.' I should think it was, indeed. This very day 1 11 send on money lor a paper ; and if any one gets ahead ot me again, he 11 have to be wide awake, can tell him." " Have you heard of Sally Black 1 " asked Mr. Al ton, after a brief silence. No. What of her ! " She leaves home to-morrow, r.nd goes to R " Indeed ! What for ! " ' Her father takes the newspaper, you know." "Yes." "And has given her a good education." "So they say; but I could never see that it has done any good for her, except to make her good for nothing." ' Not quite so bad as that, friend Gaskill. But to proceed : two weeks ago, Mr. Black saw an adver tiscmcnt in the paper for a young lady to teach music and some other branches in the seminary at R He showed it to Sally, and she asked him to ride over and see about it. He did so, and then returned fo Sally, and went back again. The trustees of the sem inary liked her very much, and engaged her at the salary of four hundred dollars a year. To-morrow she ffoes to take charge of her classes." " You cannot, surely, be in earnest !" farmer Gas kill said, with a look of profund astonishment " It's every word true," replied Mr. Alton. And now you will hardly say that a newspaper ii dear at any price, or that the reading of them has spoiled Sally Black." Gaskill looked upon the ground for many minutes. Then raising his head, he half ejaculated with a sigh: If I havn't been a confounded fool, I came plaguy near it! But I will be n fool no longer; I'll subscribe for a newspaper to-morrow see if 1 dont ! " Brutal Mcrdek. A most brutal murder was committed about 6 miles below Mount Vernon, on Monday morning last. It appears that a flat boat belonging to Mr. Fitzroy Larkin was laying at the farm cf Mr. Henry Stephens, and that one of the hands, named James 31'Faddin, had stolen a favorite game chicken belonging to Mr. Stephens, and secreted it in the boat. Mr. S. on discovering the theft, proceeded on board the boat to reclaim his properly. When he got below, .M'Faddin struck him across the back of the head, rendering him senseless; then, drawing a large bowieknife, stabbed hini in the lower part of the abdomen, causing his bowels to protrude. He died in about two hours. The murderer instantly cut loose the skiff. belonging to the boat, and put off for the Kentucky shore. A pursuit was started, but we have not heard with w hat success. The deceased is represented as having been a very peaceable and inoffensive man. We hope Governor Whitcomb will offer a reward for the arrest of the murder. Aew Harmony Statesman, Xov. 15.

From thi Licking Valley Register. The Miser's Ueath. it 8. w. crnta. An old man tat by a firelets hearth, Tho lb night wa daik and chill. And mournfully cvrr tbe frozen earth, The wind sobbee lone and thrill. Iii l cks were giy, and hi eyes wer grey And dim, but not with tears, And hi keletoo foiro was watted away With penuiy mure than yeais. A ruh light was cavtin its fitful glares, - O'er the damp and dii-gy wall, Where the lizaid hal made bis slimy lair, And the venomous spider crawl. Bat the meanest thin: in this loathsome room Was that miser, all worn and bare j Wheie he tat like a ghot in an empty tomb, Ob bis broken and only chair. He bad bolted the wind iw and bar'd the door, And every nok he had cau'd. And felt their fastening o'er and o'er, With h cold and skiiny hand ; And yet he sal icizin intently around, And tiembltd with silent frar, And started and ohuddeied at every sound. That fell on his coward ear. Ha ! ba ! laughed the miser I'm safe at last, From this night so cold and drear From the dienching rain and the driving blait, With my gld and my treasuie here. I am cold and wet with tbe icy tain, Aod my heal h is bad. 'tis true. Yet if I shoul I light that fiie again, It would cost me a cent or two. But I'll take a sip of this precious wine, It will banish my cold and fears; It was given long since by a friend of mice, I hare kept it for many years. So he drew a flask from a mouldy nook, And diank of its ruby tide,

And his eye grew bright with each draught he took, And bis bosom swell d with pi me. " Let me ce let me see," said the miser then, "Ti ?o;ne sixty years or mote, Since the happy hour when I began To heap up my glittering store And well hare I sped in my anxious toil, As my ctowded cheats will show. I have mire than would lansom a Kingdom's spoil, Or ao Emj.eror could bestow." " Fion the orient realms I have rubies bright, And gold from the fam'd Peru ; I've diamonds would shame the stars cf night, And peail like the morning dew. And more I'll have, ere the morrow's sud, His lays fom the west shall fling Tbat widow, to free her prisoned son, Shall bring me her bridal ring." He turn'd to an old worm-eaten chest, And cautiously raided the lid. And Iben it shone like the clouds of the west, With the sun in their splend ir hid And gem after gem of its precious store, He raised with exulting smile. And counted, recounted them o'er and o'er, In many a glittering pile. Why comes that flush to his pallid brow, While his eyes like his diamonds shine ? Whv writhes he thus in such toiture now f What was there in the wine His lonely seal he strove to legain To crawl lo his nest he tied But finding those eflf uts were all in vain, He clasped his gold and died. Dirge or the Flowers. Pale, lingeting flowers of the djing year, Wby, drooping sad, o'er au'umn's yellow bier, l)o you pioling your s'ay. When the rich glory o'er the meadows cast, And voices sweet of summer bitds, have past Sadly away ? At eve, the peifumed Zephyr softly sung Iiis bw, departing anthem where ye hung, Sweet tokens of the spiin ! Mid wreaths of dew, like thooe a fary weaves Upon the closing petals and the leaves Blight cliuteiing. At morning's hour, all curtained o'er with green, Ye dimly lay the whispering leaves between, Like biiht eyes robed in sleep ; And as ye opened to the summer air, There faintly lose a sound of gladness there, Holy and deep. But now the autumn wind sighs o'er your heads, Aod the cold m on, from yon blue heaven sheds Her silver dew-Jiops there ; And mourufully, like music o'er the sea. Your last and dying fragrance comes to me Through the chill air. Darkly ye fade from pleasant streams and woods ! Arouod your wonted haunts, in coldness, broods The spiiit vf decay i .On the waste places of this clouded earth We're left to mourn your lo?elinesss and mirth Gatheied away. Ye are the types of all that man deems bright i Like you. his earthborn pleasures bloom in light ; Like you, thry quickly fly ; And leave the breaking heart to cling again, With a fond yearning, passionate as vain, To things that die. Mrs. Frt. The author of Ten and Ink Sketches thus writes of the benevolent Sirs. Fry : Her name is a familiar one, in every circle of humanity. She has long passed her grand climacteric but years sit lightly on her calm, pleasant looking face. As her bonnet is removed, we can see her features without any obstruction. Beneath the cloe, plain Quaker cap is seen through the fine material, her gray hair, which is simply parted in front, over her smooth, intelligent forehead. Her eyes are dark gray, and peculiarly sweet and mild in their expression. There is a quiet benevolence about the mouth, and old as she is, she might almost be called pretty. Her dress is scrupulously plain and neat. A lavender colored gown, a pearl white shawl, and a simple muslin or net kerchief, being all that is visible. It is Mrs. Fry, the celebrated female visitor ot prisons and lunatic asylums. Quiet and unobtrusive as she appears, a great portion of her life has been spent in going about doing good. Where bold men have hesitated to lift up their voices, there have her mild, persuasive toues been heard. It must have been a strange and striking sight to have witnessed a recent scene in Newgate. The King of Trussia, being on a visit to England, went to 6ee the great metropolitan prisor, and there met Mrs. Fry, who was engaged in imparting instruction to the female prisoners. At her invitation, the Monarch and his attendants knelt down in that assembly of felons, whilst Mrs. Fry offered up an extemporaneous prayer. It must have been a 6trange sight, alike for the Sovereign and the criminals, to witness each other bowing before the Maker of them both, in so gloomy a sanctuary. There is a beautiful anecdote, connected with Mrs. Fry, which I am tempted to relate here. It is the habit of that lady, when she visits a lunatic asylum, to sit down quietly and calmly amongst the poor people, however turbulent or noisy th ;y may be, and commence, in her low, musical voice, reading the Bible. Her tones generally soon attract attention, and order is gradually produced. On one of these occasions a young man was observed to listen very attentively and though ordinarily one of the most violent of the patients, he became subdued even to tears. When Mrs. Fry ceased reading, this poor maniac exclaimed to her, "Hush ! the angels hate lent you their voices." Perhaps a more beautiful or more truly poetic compliment has never been paid to philanthropy. 1 i Deserving of Commendation. A writer in the Cincinnati Atlas is very warm in his praise of Mr. John A. Collier, of Steubenville, Ohio, a passenger on board the steamboat Madison, at the time of her recent collision oa the Mississippi with the Plymouth. The Madison was weakly manned, and all hands were required for her management at the critical moment. Mr. Collier was the only male passenger on board of her. Preserving great presence of mind, he rushed to the yawl of the Fly mouth, in the midst of the darkues?, unaided by a single human being, and commenced the noble work of rescuing his fellow creatures from a watery grave. The river was covered with the floating forms of all sexes and ages, and two yawl loads, amounting to twenty or thirty persons, were picked up and restored to life by his manly and courageous exertions. Reward for Olive Branches. The Boston Transcript says, a novelty in the way of agricultural exhibitions of late is the presentation of children for premiums. At a recent agricultural fair at Burlington, Vt., Mr. L.Chase presented for premium three pretty female children, two and a half years old, born at a birth. The committee on household manufactures awarded him $14 -which was voluntarily contributed by the old bachelors present, who said they considered him a legitimate object of charity. The Hemp Ckop. We understand that in some neighborhoods the present hemp crop is very deficient, both in the quantity and quality of its lint, so much so that It is believed it will not average one-third the usual crop.

When the President had taken his seat it was resolved that a committee of one from each township be appointed to draft resolutions expres sive of a sense of the meeting and report the names of live persons trom each township to represent Dearborn county in the State Convention. The committee having retired, the 1 resident being agin called upon, arose and addressed the meeting in a very able and eloquent man ner. contrasting the present resources of the General Government with the time of the Revolution, showing the value of and the importance ta the possession of the Oregon territory; all of which were respouded to with enthusiastic cheers.

JOHN F. PEGGS. ALEXANDER WILSON, 2tia WILLIAM HARRIS. "Bleaching.' An Anecdote. A Boston paper says : "It is noticeable in this market, that Sherman's Lozenges are not so black as they were." Upon which the New Orleans Picayune remarks : "And in this that negro babies are not so Hack as they used to be." How does the State Sentinel, (which seems incapable of distinguishing the difference between an abolitionist and an amalgamationist,) account for this singular phenomenon ? Indiana rreeman. V e will tell you how we account for it. There is about as much crime at the south as at the north and we have no doubt but there are many abolition ists in the south in disguise, as 6lave-stealing is fre quently noticed. The latter being true, the modifica lion of color is easily accounted for. A Severe Cut. The Louisville Times says that the Whigs of Kentucky, are gentlemen of a very different stripe, from the Whigs of Massachusetts. They never ask "where shall we go" and for want of a place in the affections of their countrymen, fall like Black Dan and his Massachusetts Whigs into the arms of Great Britain. Saved from the Gallows by Marriage. A novel occurrence happened last week in Eoston, in a capital trial in the Supreme Court. James Powers was tried for a crime punishable with death, when, to the surprise of all, the prosecution was withdrawn, the girl (Hannah Welsh) whom be had injured having become his wife that morning, and thus bylaw was incapable of testifying against him. Mr. Jamea Powers is now a gay bridegroom at large, enjoying his honeymoon, instead of being a prisoner in the dock on his trial, with the prospect of a hempen halter. Singular as this occurrence may seem, there is no doubt, 6ays the Post, of the honesty and virtue of the girl, and of the truth of her charge against the prisoner, who had moreover confessed his guilt. Buried Alive. A few days ago, as Mr. Craig Vanmetcr, of Pitt?grove township, Salem county, N. J., was in the act of descending an old well, the well caved in both below and above, and buried him at the depth of about thirty feet. The well was some sixty feet deep, and at the time of the accident Mr. V. was suspended in the bucket about midway. The wall caved ia about seven o'clock in the morning, when the alarm was given, and the neighbors began a search for what they deemed his dead body. At five o'clock in the afternoon, they found him alive, and but very little injured, the stones having formed an arch over his head. His escape under the circumstances was truly wonderful. Doctor Tatterson, of Borne, Georgia, has been convicted in two case?i for robbing the mail in the spring at that place.

Its motto is In tbe Union and for the Union ! In tbe South and for tbe South !" Ba the South and West should especially cherish it, as it is tbe only Literary Journal, of long and high standing, within all their wide borders, and has vindicated and promoted their rights and interests. During another year, it will seek to extend its usefulness and fame, and solicits the increased pationage of the public ; and also invokes the aid of its present patrons, in extending its circulation. Its Contributors are numerous, embracing Professional and Amateur Writers or the narr distinction. To the present efficient corps, new writers will be added, and neither trouble nor expense will be spared, to make tbe woik eminently worthy of patiooage.
