Pitcairn's Island, in July last, contained one hundred and fortyuine inhabitants seventy-five males and seventy-four females. The inhabitants follow agricultural pursuits. Cotton cloth, blankets, and woolen articles are scarce. The elections are held once a year and the uwm'n are all voters. Usually nine or ten vessels touch there annually; most cf which are American. A Slaver. We are informed by Capt. Enstbrook of the ship C'arendon, from Canton and St. Helena, tht at the latter port, on the 20tli Dec, there arrived a herm. bri?, marked "Caseo, New Vork,' n her stern, with 330 slaves on board. She wis a prize to 11. B. M. Steamer Cyclops. Ihe Caseo was twire boarded by the -fScers rf the C) clops.

Liberated Slaves. Fourteen slaves, liberated by Dr. John Caeson, of Mississippi, were brought to this city two or three days ago, by their late muster, to Jjave their freedom papers made out. J. Jolliffe. Esq., who takes great pleasure in acting as master of ceremonies on occasion of this kind, untied the knot of slavery, and bade the bond go free. ' We understand that Dr. Casson, who came to this city with his people to see that everything should be properly dune, intends to superintend their settlement him?elf, somewhere in Ohio. Cin. Gaz.

The Cherokee Advocate has a letter from Mormon City, Salt Lake, written by an emigrant on hia way to California, in which he says: The Mormons have a beautiful country; it is al most entirely surrounded by mountain some of which are covered with perpetual snow. Their town is regularly laid off and finely watered. Water h conveyed through every street f r the purpose of irrigation, as it i the only means of successful farming as it scarcely ever rains here during the summer. The valley is fine for irrigation, as the mountains afford numerous mall streams of the purest water. The Mormons seem to be here a happy people. The Whig Corner Stone. An Englishman observed a stone roll down a stair case. It bumped on every stair until it came to the bottom; there of course it rested. '''Thal stone," said he, resembles the National Debt of ray country; it has bumped on every grade of Uie community, but its weight rests on the lowest." A whig administration strikes at and wounds every interest in the community in turn, and ends by crush n with oppressive weight the laboring masses. Alltany AVas. Great Land Sales. It is shown by the report of the Commissioner of Patents, that in 1347 the quantity of the land disposed of for cash, and by warrants equivalent to cash, amounts to - $3.596,254 08 And in 1349, to ... 5,432.815 26 In the first three months of 1849, ! it amounts to .... 3,937,100 30 In the first three months of 1949, it amounts to ... - - 4,207,737 26 Showing that the increase in the amount cf land !i?poed of keeps pace with the increase of population and the consequent wants of the community. A Desperate Neoro. The Cumberland Civilian, of yesterday, says : A gentleman of this place, having reason to believe that one of his negroes would soon set up shop " in Pittsburg, determined to sell him. The negro was accordingly sold, but resisted the agent of his new master, knocking him down with a bar of iron and doing him serious injury. When he found at length that bis plans of escape were frustrated, he deliberately took a hatchet and attempted to sever his left hand from the arm. The blow was not quite successful, and it is supposed be may recover without amputation of the hand. The Natt and its Grades. The recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy for the establishment of a retired list will receive, we hope, the attentive consideration at the hands of Congress, to which it is so well entitled. An examination of the navy list, with a calculation of the average promotions, will show noma rather discouraging results. A midshipman, appointed at the age of sixteen, will l thirty-! wo before he becomes a lieutenant ; l.e will be some fifty-eight or more before he can lie a commander; and he must not expect to become a post captain until he is at least aixty-eijhty years old. There are exceptions, of course, to this general call culation, but the average result, it is believed, wilhold good. Louisville Journal. Astrologt in Washington. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston JVettf gives thefoIlowing gossip: An old lady from Baltimore has taken up her quarters here as an astrologer, and strange to say, she has plenty of patronage, i am told that some eminent legislators, whether from curiosity or other motives, bie viited her. It is wonderful how the predilections of such pretenders will affect the strongest minds. S.vne of your readers will no doubt recollect that George IV, of England, the moment the crown was placed upon bis head, turned to a peer and whUpered, "the old witch lied." Twelve years previously, when in a frolicsome mood, he had his "fortune" told by a gipsy, the purport of which was, that he would never live to ascend the throne. His exclamation proved how much he had been impressed by it. The Anti-Slavery Society of Massachusetts are engaged in circulating petitions for a dissolution of the Union. It is intimated that they aro disposed to be jealous of the attention bestowed upon the agitators at the South who are laboring for the same end. The disunionists of Massachusetts are inclined, it would seem, to assert and demonstrate their own prominence in the business of dissolution. We ventured once to propose a convention of these co-laborers, and named the city of Baltimore as a convenient place for meeting. The two sections might confer together, concert plans for action, and fraternise harmoniously to the great benefit of the common cause. The Un ion will probably stand firm enough to require their joint efforts to overthrow it, and it may last long enough to give them ample time for maturing all the wisdom and patriotism that may pertain to their counsels.Bait. American. Mas. SwiasKELM Doügh-jacis. If they (the South) can buy enough of mir men, to continue to to rule tit wtth our "own white slaves, we cannot see that the people of the North have any great riirht to complain. If they will continue to furnish dough. it is quite clever of their neighbors to get kneading troughs and rolling pins. If Southern men were for sale the North would buy them. We contend that buying Congressmen is a fair transaction jnst as lawful and honorable b'ijin a box of tonncco or a barrel of brandy. It should never be ranked with the crime that produced Babylon's fall trading tn the sovs or men.

la.ive Women any Söuls! We happened accid-ntaPy to cast an eye on the proceedings of the Tennesree Legislature, when we were at once arrested by a discussion on the condition of women, which was rather the funniest thin;: in a Legislature we have come across. A bill was before the House, which, in substance, proposed to give women the riüht to their own onperly. Mr.C Kper addressed the House at some length in ft vor of the bill, arguing to show that naturally woman is the equal of man, and ought to be permitted to enj..y eqial rights. The speecti of the gei'tleinun was t.iie of grtal beauty an earnest, fervid, and eltoiit appu I in hdtalf of the softer sex. Mr. Moody said he desired the defeat of the bill. It commenced wrung; it ended wrong; every sentence in it was wroni. Ths caption ought to read, A bill to produce litigation and grass widows in Tenr.?sfoe.' Hij opposition he said, f-prung from his love of women it was kindness to litem to oppose the billHü vluded to the reference of Mr. Cooper, to the belief of the Mustjulmen, that women have no sould, and said he would like to see it proved from the Bible that they had souls. He then went on, and, among other things, noticed tho present f a petticoat which lie had received, and aid that would not de'er him from doing his duty. He concluded with some very discourteous remarks in aspersiou and ridicule of the ladies of Nasi.vill'j. Now, it is very obvious, that the ladies made a mistake in sending a petticoat to Mr. Moody, for that implied he was equal to a woman, which is plainly not the caee. Mr. Cooper, however, again appeared as the Knight of the Tournament. He said the man who could make such a speech d d not havs a soul as large as his little finger. The utterance ot such remarks, disgraceful

to the gentleman and his constituents, made his nerves tingle. Mr. Allen opposed the bill. He thought it would have a tendency to bring women in contact with tle roughest scenes of life, and destroy those refined and delicate sensibilities which form one of the loveliest features of their character. This sort of argument is the most common one used to keep women in a state of dependence. In substance, it amounts to this that if you make women independent, they will no longer be fools, to mistake 'delicate sensibilities' for real refinement, nor continue the toys and playthings of meu, who value them in proportion to their weakness! It is a poor rule that won't work both ways. Reversing the above reasoning, we find that slates must be the most delicate and refined people in the world, because they have no property! But what was the result 1 Here it is: Mr. Adcock demanded the previous question, and a mujortty of the House sustaining the demand, the question was put, and the bill killed outrig'it yeas 17, niy.s 54. Thus we tup'ise Mr. Moody's dctrine, that women have no soo!--, and Mr. Allen's, that they are too delicate and refined to hold property, is athrmed by the Tennessee Legislature ! We trust that no woman, who has any self-reKpect, will hereafter hmor these gentlemen with a present of a petticoat ! The State Bank vi Tennessee. It appears that the Directors of the State Bank of Tennessee are nominated to the Senate by the Governor of that Stale, and by the Senate confirmed. Well, the Senate is now Whig, and the Governor, (General Trousdale,) Democratic; and of course, the latter is expected to nominate hi political friends hs Directors. The ides uf such a thing seems to have greatly alarmed the present board of Directors of the State Bank, who would naturally I'ke to remain; and the President of the Bank, a Mr. Ledbetter, as we learn from that high-toned Democratic paper, the Nashville Union, has et his wits to work to defeat the nominations uf the Governor. His plea is characteristic of all bank officers, who interfere in elections; but, unlike others, he has been caught in the act of carrying it info effect. The following is a copy of the letter he has sent to a number of Whig politiciansthe object being of course, to defeat the nominations of the Democratic Executive. It is a rare publication, indeed : Nibhville, 7th Sept., 1849. Dear Sir: What ought to be d one with the Bank of Tennessee, at the enuing session! This is an important question, and one that should be considered well by our friends in time. The Legislature two years hence, will have, as you know, to elect a Senator to Congress, and to district the State anew, for the election of Representatives, as well as Senators and Representatives to the General Assembly; and the Democratic party will bring heaven and earth together to carry the State; and they will carry it, unless we can have a new organization. In their hands, the bank can be made a powerful instrument will they scruple to use it, or its means, to effect that object 1 What, then, shall be the course of the whigs at this neesion? I write you because we have no leaders in the middle part of the State, no working men at least. Classic Leabmnu. Senator Foote is often among the ''classics," but not always at home amongst them. He is much more frequently abroad. We at first thought that he kept the "Dictionary of Quotations." But we soon abandoned that hypothesis, on finding that his Latin was out of joint nine limes in ten. We therefore give him credit for vague recollections of imperfectly learned lessons at school or college. He lately called Mr. Benton Paler Scnati; something which he would have us .understand as signifying Father of the Senate. Perhaps the old gentleman would not feel complimented by the imputation of paternity to all the old boys in that body. The country at least might wish that he had been less prolific. But whether he has been so much like John Kodgers or not, we most earnestly ohject to Senator Foote'a Iatin. Where does he get his SenaliJ Not fro.m the old Romans, nor even the new ones. Cicero spoke and wrote pretty good Latin for hia time, and always said Senatus. Old Lily, of whom Shakspeare made fun, says ; "The fourth declension is when the genitive case singular enduth in tt." Hence if our Senate have a father, the old gentleman's Latin cognomen would be PaUr Senatui. lieh ! Mr. Foote 1 And Mr. Foote quotes that everlasting , beginning of Ktkvrti'sjirsl oration against Catiline, (many a boy has wished it were his last,) 'Quo.que tandem" and calls the fellow Catalina. But this may be ayjtographical error ; for no typo evc yet failed to print that name wrong, w henever a scholar had put it right in his manuscript. The scamp knew his own name, though l.e probnbly knew not his father's any, better than his mother did ; and he wrote it Catiline, and Cicero and the other Romans folio. ved his example. But modern Anglo-Quaker and Anglo-Knickerbocker printers will stick it Catiline, let the classics say what they will. Q. E. D.Pa. Ledger. Another Peace Maker. Mr. Chas. Hastings, of Prussia, has recently arrived in this city with his invention, the famous breech-loading rifle. It is a very ingenious affair, and in the hands of soldiers in battle, must caufe terrible havoc. The cartridges are put in at the breech, and require no ramming. Neither are they ignited by percusiau caps or powder pans, as by the ordinary method ; all one does to discharge the rifle is to put in the cartridge and pull the trigger. The powder is ignited by means of a sharp needle inside, which runs into the lower cud of the cartridge, and by the friction with a smalt quantity of combustible priming, produces the discharge. The needle, and the means which cause the discharge, are concealed inside. Behind the cartridge is a small air chamber. hich causes the ball to be sent out with increased force. This lifle carrita a ball eight hundred yard, with god effect. In Prussia it is called the Zwid jV'uiW, and is generally used among Ihe troops of the Prussian army. It can be loaded and fired ten times per minute. The Use or a Single Hill. The hill immediately back of Cannelton is the most serviceable one that we have ever seen. It rices some 25U feet from the p!ain at Us baso is pure, soft free-stone water. First comes a bed of fireclay from 10 to 20 feet thick; on this rests the stratum of coal; on the coal lies a layer of the bett building sand-stone; on ihe top of the hill is a place nearly formed by nature for a vaat reservoir for water. The hill will supply us with heat, light, water and building materials, to say nothing of the charming prospects to be had at various points on its summit. Cannelton EconomUt. The original manuscript of Washington's Farewell Addreas was aold by auction, at the Philadelphia Exchange, on the 12th int. It was started at $500, and was run up to $2,300, at which price it was taken by the Rev. Dr. Boordmaii, who purchased it for a gentleman at a distance.

Of a million writers, there is but one Emekson ; !yet he is not a writer for the millions, because to ! them he will be measureably obscure, if "not uninter.etting, on account of his idiomatic peculiarities. 'However, by a large class of our race he will be gratefully appreciated, entlni'iatically praised, almost idolized ; and the suffrages of this class are ' worth obtaining. It is difficult to criticise him. He ' is qunint without affectation; sharp without flippancy; i independent without waywardness; positive without ! egotism or insolence. His genius is s'rongly poetiJrnl, and marked by unmistakeuble originality. Of Jacob Bemneu, the celebrated religiös mystic, be i remarks ' When he pays lhaf, in 6ome sort, love is ; greater than God' a paradoxical saying, truly, t Ajs krart beats so high that the thumping against his i leathern coal is audible across the Centuries.' Of Swedenborg he says 'A colossal soul, he lies vast I abroad on his times, uncomprehended by them, and ; requires a long fxal distance to be seen. One of the : miaouriums and maaierdons of literature, he is not I to be measured by whole colleges of ordinary scholjars. His stalwart presence would Mutter the gowns i of an university. Of Shaksp-are illimitable Shakspeare he says 'lie is strong as nature is strong, who lifts the land into mountain slopes without effort, and by the same rule as he rbtats a bubble in the air, and likes as well to d the one ns the other. . . For executive faculty, fr creation, Shakspeare is unique. . . He carried his powerful execution into minute details, to hair point; finishes an eyelash or a dimple as firmly as he draws a mountain; and yet these, like nature , will bear the scrutiny of the solar micro scone. tjl IMapoieon lie says His victories were like so many doors, and he never for a moment lost his way onward, in the dazzle and uproar of the pre sent circumstance. He knew what t do, and he flew to his mark. lis would shorten a straight line to come to his object. Of Goethe he says In the meiiftruum of th.s man's wit, the past and the pre sent aies. and their religions, politics, and modes of thinking, are dissolved into archetypes and ideas What new mythologies sail through his head! The Greeks said that Alexander went as far as chaos Goethe went, only the other day, as far ; and one step farther he hazarded, and brought himself safe back. Of Flnto (whom he venerates excessively) he saysOut of Plato come all thmsrs that are Ptill written and debated among men of thought. Great havoc makes he nmong our originalities. We have reached the mountain from which all these drift boulders were detached. . . Plato is philosophy, and philosophy is Plato, at once the glory and the shame of mankind. 6ince neither Saxon nor Roman have availed to add any idea to his categories.' Of Montaigne he says The sincerity and marrow of the man reach to his sentences. 1 know not any where the book that seems less written. It is the language of conversation transferred to a book. Cut these words, and they would bleed; they are vascular and alive.' And so we might go on, copying passages equally graphic and poetical, embracing nearly the whole volume. But we have quoted quite enough to inflame curiosity and sharpen appetite for the remainder. Nonchalance of Crime. A remarkable instance of this is relatrd, incidentally, in Lord Campbell's "Lives of the Chief Justices. Speakinr of Sir Henry Montague, afterward chief justice, Lord Campbell says : Continuing recorder of London, (1613) ha particularly distinguished himself in the festivities which took place in the city on the infamous and fatal mar riage between the Earl and Counteps of Somerset. It was not thought inconsistent with the gravity of his office, that he should dance a measure with the bride, who was at this time all gaiety and frolic, although she had just done a deed which, ü ben it was discovered, Jilted mankind with horror. Three years afterward, the guilty pair were put on their trial fir the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury. The earl was convicted. The countess plead guilty ! French Miners in California. A company has been formed at Paris under the title of La Califor niennc, (the California company,) to carry on the business of minin? in California. The capital ia 5,000,000 francs ($1,000,0;0,) in shares of 100 francs. The profits are to be divided between the stockholders and operatives, the company being a mutual association.

A letter from Dr. Gray l : well when he left this place, and his disease (diarrhoea) crew upon him during the whole of his jour ney, insomuch that he accomplished the tedious trip with great difficulty. The disease waa never arrested, but only temporarily checked, and still returned, and finally carried him off; not, however, unexpectedly, cither to himself or to his attending physicians. For months the Dr.s mind was turned, more than usual, to the subject of religion ; during a part of which time he suffered great mental distress; but at last his trust in God was renewed, snd with it also came the peace of the Christian. From this to the very last, his confidence in God was unshaken, and he died as a Christian.

A certain editor of Indianapolis challenge the world at Urea lo a discussion of the principles of tiie bill which was indefinitely postponed by the last legislature, on the subject of punishing men Tor eelling liquor. As the peopl of the Stata aro perhaps unwilling to mngmiy this querulous editor so much as he desires, especially ro much as to take issue with him and his fanatical opinions on this subject,, wa would suggest to him a more direct issue, if he .accepts tba challenge. Wa challenge him, in bis own proper person, to preaent himself and his opinions to ihm judgment of the people of Marion county, aa a candidate lor the otnee or representative. Should he be so fortunate as to be elected, he can then, on the floor of the legislature, put to flight lbs old fashioned opinions of tho people's representatives, and show Ins wisdom by carrying out ail bis temperance reform notions and force law.

On this subject Professor C. F. M'Cay, of the University of Georgia, (peak a follow : "If there is more or lea deubt whether oar life insurance companies are not chut-gin; rates that are too low, our anxieties for tiiose companies who have reduced their charge below tLe earlier standard berom of the most set ions character. If there is much reason to fear that the old rate sre too low, even lor the time of ordinary mortality, what fears must l fett for the stability ol compsnies wdo have reduced these latcs, when ihe average mortality is doubled by the ravages ol cholera. Thea fear and anxirlrea are not quelled by remembertn; that dividends of 50 percent, profit have been hitherto made by most of the companies ; for it m easily perceived that at the first, when the insured ar all in good health, the number of death will be far below the average. Already, the oldest mutual company has experienced a mortality as treat as at Carlisle and whea the resuits oi the present year are added to their experience, it is to be feared llieir deaths will be full equal to the amount indicated by tl.eir tables. Let, therefore, all the companies be warned In time. Let prudence, rautios, and tht mott watchful carefulness characterize tba conductor tlicir directors, and eiecially let ttiem beware of reducing their rates so as to endanger ttieir exist ence, ruin the confidence reposed In them by the assured, blast the hopes of th widow and the orphan, and endanger the success of societies calculated to do so much good throughout the length and breadth of oar land. Let them keep up their charge to the old limits. If they are. too high, the exces will be letumed to the assured as ; TBI vaav Hut ajid BTaoasur Coanmu is thb V osld. chas yy. i;AiY. Feb. 33, 1830.
