States during the late session, some statistics are g«yRI? *?l'12 the trade sma sources o( the Missw'W1 and Vnlley. -k may be »°rth "h'!llo«[h. capitulate iome of lhc«e, «oce Atlantic er probable that many of wn«i be AtlaotK

8tatea-are really Xa ™°l al extent and growing greatness of that vast region whose productiveness, yet in

1,8

•u^es. is now supplying, and must continue in

jljH greater degrees to supply the materials of a commerce already great and likely to become unequalled in richness, variety and

amount. ... The area of the Mississippi Valley includes some five or six hundred thousand square miles, watered by about twenty great tributaries of its chief stream. The soil of this immense region is fertile and stretching from the twenty*ninth degree of latitude up to the forty-seventh it yields in lavish abundance almost every variety of production necessary lo human wants.

The extent of practicable steam navigation within these limits is not less than twenty thousand miles. Fifty years ago the

mtR"'

ty streams affording these facilities, glided through unbroken forest?, or wild prairies. Painted savages stood upon the banks and •aw their grim features in the water the only vessel that skimmed their surface was the bark canoe. At present the region compris•t nine States and two Territories, with a population of near jeven millions.

Before the introduction of steam navigation which datesi upon the waters of the Mississippi about 1817 the trade of the upper Mississippi and Missouri scarcely existed and She whole upwfard commerce of New Orleans was conveyed in about twenty barges, tarrying each about one hundred tons, and making but one trip a year. Each voyage in those days was about equivalent to an Ensi India or China voyage now. On the upper Ohio about one hundred and fifty keel baats were employed, each about thirty tons burden they made the trip to and fro between Pittsburg and Louisville, about three times a year. The entire tonnage of the boats moving in the Ohio and lower Mississippi was then about 6,500 tons. In 1834 the steam navigation of the Mississippi hnd risen to 230 boats, and a tonuage of 39,000, while about 00,000 persons were estimated to be employed in the trade, either as crews, builders, woodcutters, or loaders of the vessels.

In 1842 the navigation was as follows: There were 450 steamers, averaging each 200 tons, and making an aggregate tonnage of 90,000 so that it has a good deal more than doubled in eight years. Valued at $80 the ton, they cost above 87,000,000, and are navigated by nearly 10,000 persons, at thir ty-five to each. Besides these steamers there are about 4,000 flatboats, which cost each 105. are managed by five hands apiece, (or 30,000 persons,) and make an annual ex pense of $1,380,000. The estimated annual •xpense of the steam navigation, including 15 per cent, for insurance and 20 per eent for wear and tear, is 813,618,000. If in 1834^hey employed an aggregate of 90.000 persons, they must now occupy at least 180,-

The steamers running from New Orleans to the more distant points in tho great valley make from eight to fifteen trips a year while those carrying the trade from Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Louisville to St. Louis perform some thirty annual trips. Others run between still nearer ports, and make more frequent voyages. At an average of twenty vovages a year tho collective annual freight of these steamers on the Western waters would be 1,800,000 tons. If four thousand flat boats, each of seventy-five tons, be ad ded, it will appear that the'total annual freight of the navigation on those watsrs exceeds two millions of tons.

The value of the downward trade to New Orleans is estimatod at $120,000,000 annually tho upward or return trade is reckoned at tboul $100,000,000. Thus the entire value of the commodities conveyed on the waters of the Mississippi amounts upon the best estimates to the enormous sum of two hundred and twenty millions of dollars per annum. This amount is but thirty millions less than the entire value of the foreign trado of the Unitod States, exports and imports, in 1841.

This vast trado has grown up and expand* td at little or no expense to the nation in the way of facilitating or protecting it. .In behalf of our foreign commerce the Government builds light houses and fortifications prepares harbors maintains a navy retards it in tho negotiations of treaties. The Report presents strongly the claims of our internal Western trade to the attention of tho* Government. At its prodigious rate of growth it must soon outstrip utterly our foreign commerce. Not one tenth of the fertile lands of the great Mississippi Valley is yet occupied the resources of that immense region are comparatively untouched. What will not the next ten years exhibit in new develop®ments of national wealth in that quarter?

An appropriation of one million of dollars is asked by tho Committee for the improvement of the navigation of the Mississippi and its principal tiibutaries. The annual losses on these rivers average as much as the amount here called for. it is further stated that the amount paid for insurance on the Western steamboats alone, without including their cargoes, is equal to the proposed appropriation and a great part of the amount thus paid is required on account of the dangers of the navigation. tt was not in vain that the forcible representations were made to Congress. An appropriation was voted for removing obstructions from the Western rivers but the amount, wo believe, was less than the sum asked for by the Senate's committee. It will no doubt henceforth be a part of the policy of the Government to take due care of tho vast inland trade of the country as well as of our foreign commerce.—Baltimore Amer• tarn.

BKtrscts from the Report of ffee Commissioners of Patents. commence the publication of whatevs er portipns of tlie report of the commissioner of patents we dejsm of interest to the West. Great desire has been evinced that we should do so, and the public will not be disappointed in the perusal of these extracts:

Barley.—The attention of the public has been so successfully directed to the discontinuance of the ase of malt liquor, which possesses an intoxicating quality, that the encouragement offered for its cultivation is becoming less from year to year except in New York the amount raised^ is not large. In Sweden and Lapland it is more cultivated than any other grain, on account of requiring to be so short a period in the soil—sometimes not longer than six weeks, and seldom more than seven and a half. In Spain -and Sicily they have two crops a year on the same soil. The climate in which it delights is warm and dry and it is wid there are instances of its being sown and ripened without having enjoyed a single shower of rain. In parts of Great Britain it is in considerable use as a material for bread, and, also, fattening black cattle, hogs and poultry. As it is a tender plant and more easily injured than wheat, is not also more expensive of cultivation.

In a country like ours, where wheat is so abundant, the inducement to raise it is com paratively small.

Tobacco —The recent in formation furnish ed in the fetter of the Secretary of the Treasury, respecting the amount of home consumption and exports of tobacco, with a great variety of other particulars, will enable any one to form a fair conclusion as to its impor tance and bearing on our trnde with foreign countries. It is there stated that the whole amount supplied elsewhere than from the U. States is about 150,000,000 lbs. the amount of possible consumption of American tobacco is put at not less than 1,000,000,000 lbs. that, were only one-half of this qunntity actually consumed, it would be four times more than our present export, and increase our means more than $20,000,000 annually. The quality of the different kinds of tobacco raised in the different parts of the United States, with the different kinds of manufac ture and use to which they are particularly adapted, are also pointed out in various dis criminating remarks. Nearly one-tenth of the whole population of our country are said to be^ragaged in the «u!tivation of this product, two^Thirds of whom are in the four States of Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. The whole tobacco crop of 1842 is estimated at 194,694,8^1 lbs.

ington, bequeathed a legacy to this people, of which the value can only be estimated, when, after the lapse of thousands of years, some philosophic observer shall ascertain its influence in preserving the integrity of the Federal Union. This priceless amulet—this invaluable legacy—was his Farewell Address, which has been justly called the most valuable and wonderful composition ever produced independently of direct inspiration from heaven. So deeply are the principles of this Address instilled into the hearts of the American people, that no traitorous combination nor factious cabal can hope ever to rupture the federal compact. In this view of the case, the threats that are from time to time put forth, by this clique at the south or that at the north, lhat unless certain measures by each of them set forth be adopted or receded from—as the case may be—the Union will crumble to decay What presumptuous nonsenso are ail such threats! What fools are those who make them. The foundations of the American Union are deepening and widening—and though we all believe it possible for designing demagogues to pervert our free institutions into engines for gratifying their selfish ambition, none has yet been found besotted enough to attempt a radictl change of the name and form as well as nature of thoso institutions. The pillars of our government fabric, if the day of trial ever arrive, will be found to be based in the affections of the people.

A hen, belonging to

Benj. Gallaway, Esq., of Weakley county, Tennessee, was some time ago bitten by a rattle snake, but by proper attention, the wound was cured. However, strange to tell, we are informed that every egg laid since that time by this hen has a picture of a rattle snake represented upon the shell. Mr. Gallaway, who is afraid to use these eggs in the family, has kept them, and will with pleasure exhibit them to the inspection of the incredulous.—Mills

Politeness—It

is remarked by some wri

ter that "excess of ceremony shows want of good breeding." This is true. Nothing is more troublesome than overdone politenessA truly well bred man makes every person around him feel at ease he docs not throw civilities about him with a shovel, nor toss compliments in a bundle, as he would hay with a pitrhfork. There is no evil under the sun more intolerable than ultra |*Hteness.

A French paper tells us of a miller's daughter, so pretty and so cruel, that the sighs of her admirers would be sufficient to turn her father's mill.

A Horrible bat Improbable Story. The Pittsburg Sun, of the 23d. telle the following story, and. as will be perceived, vouches for the respectability ot its authority. It makes the beart thrill with horror to read it:

A gentleman just from Armstrong county, in this Stste, I Pa,] informs tie of sn accident of the most appalling nature. There is no reason we fear to douot the truth of it. It happened at what is familiarly called a "raising,Ma gathering ot neighbors lo erect log barn.

White the men were engaged ia erecting the bam. some women were catching chickens, and catting their beads off. preparatory to the feeet usually served upon such an occasion. Two chiltrea. a hoy aod a girl, having observed the process gone through with by the women, with tbe chickens, one of them laid her heed down on a block of wond, while the other proceeded to Owp ber head off with tbe hatchet. Two men oa the top of tbe barn, who were ia tbe act of receiving a log from those who were poshing it op from below, bearing the screams of the women, and terrified at seeing tbe horrid sight, lot go their bold of the log. which Ml. and in falling, crashed 9persons todeatb.
