This, however, is not nlwavs the cae; and I lhcrcfore think it would be highjy proper for me to make a few remarks on omvx, lest that sex may imbibe the idea from what I have previously s-id, that I have no faith in their fjcin.-r ;x blessing to man. tv oman, then, in christianized countries, having enjoyed the benefits arising from religion and education, is worthy of eulogy, such as but few pens are able to bestow; r.nd conscious am I of my inability to even name a tithe of her virtues. She has indeed been justly lauded for her intelligence, virtue, tenderness and all the noble and adectionate feelings which pervade the breast of mortal. It is from her we receive care and protection in our infancy, and useful instructions in our youth. When jearc?, troubles and disappointments overlake u, it is woman who softens and ameliorates them, and her attention in sickness and afflictions should teach us,' lh it to her we are more deeply indent ed than is always acknowledged. By the fivorof H eavcr, a woman lias rendered conspicuous on the annals of the wond, a descendant of that royal family that once reigned over Israel. Never was Gabriel, as we think, despatched on a more honorable and acceptable errand, than when he visited that virtuous virgin with these transpor ting words, "Hail, favorite of Heaven! The Lord is with thee! blessed art thou among women'.'' Real firmness and courage she possesses, for while men lied like coward from the scene of danger, and in the liour of darkness and terror deserted our Lord, he it known, women kept their places and stood spectators near j uc cross, l e;, to the praise of female piety, let it be published in all lands that women were the last at the cross and the first at the tomb of their Saviour. Then let us acknowledge her a blessing agirntbltimr; and ever feel willing to grant that woman's praise, fame, 7.al, aflection, and cen courage shine with sufficient resplendance to throw the most distinguished of our sex, who ire but mere mortals, much, ivn much into the shade.

Dodge, who comm.nds the Draoone, is an officer of daring bravery. He was formeily a respectable lawyer of this city, and" marrying a lady who owned large possessions in Indiana, he fettled there about the year 1819. Before he quitted New York he evinced a great partiality for Natural History attended the lectures of the celebrated' Dr. Mite h II at the Cv'Iego in Barclay street, and with that i,emlemwi and others founded that distinguished a-o-i nation called the L3cru.11 of Natural Jh'torv, wlmo l.ilioic i..i:. .. . 1 - ' .....,, .i mm iitiiir.ti.i, IIS, virc ;uimatiy kmnvn to men of fcicucci m Ml parts of woild.

! ravage chieftains in several def.,, crate encounters. He was ums naturally Ponlel out to the Fovertiment as a snilable oliicer to command one of the new regiments of rangers. He is now following what would appear to be his natural inclination, the vocation of a gallant soldier, pursuing the hostile tribes of the powerful Pawnees and Commanchces over the boundless prairies of Arkansas. There is something peculiarly exciting and romantic, we should imagine, in this perilous life. The surpassing beauty of the scenery of undulating, interminable prairies, enamelled with ever verdant llowers, and alternated with copses and underwood, and herds of thousands of butlaloes browsing, unmolested, amidst the fairy fields of these solitary, uninhabited wilds. The wild war horse of the prairie, born, it is said, of the pure Andalusian or Arabian breed, guided with spur or bridle, and rocje by warlike red men, are said to present a species' of cavalry no less formidable than noiej.

The death of the brave and accomplished Gen. Leavenworth extorts a pang of regret, but the glory acquired by his successors, Gen. Dodge, and the troops under his command, leaves us room to hope that the expedition will prove of eminent service in humbling the predatory incursions of an extensive tribe, who have hitherto held undisputc:) possesion of this .im mense fertile country. Till: .MAN DANS. Some fifteen hundred miles up the nvcr .Uissouri, ?njove the Mamons, will be found the M uidans. These people. as well as their neighbors neiow them, have some very peculiar religious notions. Mr. Catlin, who visited them the last summer, has given very interesting accounts of their religious ceremonies, customs and traditions. Of the latter he has given one rpecimen which contains mere of the w onderful than any of the visions of 'the seer Joe Smith-' and we belicW, quite as w orthy of credence. Sangamo Journal. "According to their tradilicns they were the first people in the world r.nd they originally lived inside the earth. They say that a vii.c had grown from one of their corn fields to a very great height through a whole in the earth, and one of their young men climbed up it until he came out of the lop of the earth where the Mandan village now stands; that he locked around and admired the beautiful prairies and country about him saw many tr.tl'iloes killed one and found it good to eat that he returned and related what lie had seen, w hen a number of their, went and witnessed the same thing. Amongst the ' throng who was endeavoring to climb up was a very large fat woman, who was advised not to go up, but curiosity led her to attempt it, notwithstanding, as soon as she had got an opportunity. When she had got part of the way up, the vine broke under her wei's'ht and let her down. She was disgraces for bring the cause of .1 great calamity which could never be averted ; for none con'.'(l ascend, nor could those descoi.d who h'l up.

IXTKftxAl I3IPnOYE.HCNT. It always gires us pleasure to hbiice the progress of works of Internal Improvement; and thtre are several important works of this natuie, now under consideration, in the United Slates. I most interesting of these works are, a rail road from Washington city to New Orleans a rail road from New York to Washington a ship channel around the falls of Niagara and a rail way under the Ohio river at Cincinnati. The construction of a road under the bed of a rher, is, we believe, entirely a new mode of improvement, in this country; although it has been practised successfully in England. The length of the proposed road under the Ohio, at Cincinnati, is 3000 feet, and the estimated cost of construction is set down at two hundred and twelve thousand dollars. The plan of this road, we learn from a publication of the projector, consists of two semi-ellipsis, one above and the other beneath. The height of the up

per arch to be ten fjet, and the lower three feet; and twenty-four feel in width inside making the whole ellipsis thirteen feet high, and twenly-four feet wide in the clear. The arch to he composed of cut stone masonry two feet thick. This arch is to be buried in the ground just sufficient to protect it from the action of the river. A floor composed of timbers laid lengthwise on the bottom of the arch, and covered with planks, forms the carriage ways and side walks. It will of course be necessary to light i!-'e interior when opened for travel. Such is the plan of this novel project; and we trust it will be successfully carried into effect. fAgan?port Tel. Foueig.v I.MrEiiTixEiYCE. A Mr. Geo. Thompson recently arrived at N. York, from Glasgow, to preach immediate abolition to the Americans! His reception by the New-Yorkers must have been any thing but gratifying to his feelings. He took lodgings at the Atlantic Hotel. Jji'.'t no sooner was this known to the other .quests, says-the Transcript, than they threatened to leave the house, unless he were dismissed; and Mr. George Thompson v;is obliged to seek other quarters. It is to be regretted, that a "tranger should ewr meet with such haich treatment on arrivi.1 i' our country. -Mat the present insilance is not without an excuse; and the Transcript correctly remarks, that the bi:d of intelligent Americans are opposea to slavery, "and need nn meddling emmiVsa.ry to come from Great .Britain, to convince . them of its evils." Ciu Minor the limn; cai se. It will be remembered that thr; managers of the American Bible Society undertook last year to raise .$30,000 for circulating the scriptures in foreign countries. All this sum was subscribed and nearly all paid in and forwarded to dillorent countries before the late anniversary. Although no pledge as to any particular sum is made by the managers, this year, they are endeavoring to raise hvicc as much at least as they raised last year. They have now a distributing agent in Mexico, another in South America, and will need to make increased appropriations for almost every mission station abroad. The Connecticut Bii.ie Society, the' Virginia Bible Society, and the Middle Tennessee Bible Society have all pledged liberal assistance. With this encouragement the managers, at their meeting last week, made a new appropriation of iuuuio i nuice,Sf3000 ltLhina,$3000 to Burma!), ,$3000 to Bombay, $3000 to the Sanwich Islands, and $2000 to Ceylon. Other sums will be appropriated from month to month in case the auxiliary societies atlord encouragement for so doing. .V. Y. Observer. The Comet. Many persons have been on the tiptoe of expectation for sometime past in regard to the Comet which was to make its appearance about this time. Thousands have cast eager glances towards the Eastern hor,j:on, with the hope of beholding this inlft-esting visiter, who, they have been induce.' 10 believe, was rapidly approaching 'he boundaries of our vision. It hr,s been stated in the eastern papers, and the staniont has been extensively republished, that the comet was already visible in the t'ast. Last year its' appearance was foretold to a day, and .half the people in the country, relying oil the prediction, watcned the he iver.s. U"t the Comet did ntt con:e ; neither will it be seen at any time within thin year, if i,,c calculations-of the most eminent astronomers are to be believed. It last appeared in March, l?5'J, and its periodical time is over seventy-six years. Hence wc may forego expectation for the preseut; and in 1335 we may itfrn our eyes towards the heavens with some assurance of gratification. Cm. Mirror,

THE JIOl'lMOXS. j We have received an extra of "The Evening and the Morning Star," printed at Kirtland, Ohio, containing ''an appeal"' from the Mormons or "Latter Day Saints" as they call themselves, in which they represent the treatment received by them from the citizens of Jackson county, Missouri, as very oppressive and unjust, and they call on

the citizens and government ot the u nited States to aid them in obtaining their pretended Zion in peace. The whole publication is too long for our column, but the following extract goe to explain why they have been accused of the intention to use force in getting possession of their promised land. JiVni' Pulltt'liiiiil. "By the desperate acts of the inhabitants of Jackson county, many hundreds of American citizens are deprived of their lands and rights; and it is reported that we mean (o regain our possessions, and even Jackson county, "by the shedding of blood." But if any man will take the pains to read the 1 53rd page of the book of commandments, he will find it there said, "Wherefore the land of Zion shall not be obtained but by purchase, or by blood, otherwise there is none inheritance for you. And if by purchase, behold you are blessed; and if by blood, as you tire forbidden to shed blood, lo! your enemies are upon you, and you shall be scourged from city to city and from synagogue to synagogue, and but few shall stand to receive an inheritance:" so we declare, that we have ever meant, r.nd now mean to purchase the land of our inheritance, like all other honest mem of the government, and of those who would rather sell their farms than live in our society. And, as thousands have done before us, we solicit the aid of the children of men, and of government, to help us to ohiain our rights in Jackson county; and the land whereon the Zion of God, according to our faith, shall stand, in the last days, for the salvation and gathering of Israel." When the regulations of West Boston bridge were drawn up, two famous attorneys were chosen for chut purpose. One section was written accepted find now stands thus: 'And the said proprietors shall meet annually, on the first Tuesday of June, provided .be same docs not fall on SundayS TUIAE FOIl MUUDEH.
