roaring waters, as they felt each slight motion of ths frail ark of safety; for well did the poor creatures know that if they once started with the current thdr death was inevitable. Cowering abd clinging together in terrible despair, and expecting each instant to be whelmed to eternity, they yet displayed the beautiful affection that clings to women even in the last extremity. "When the husband arrived to succor them, there was a generous struggle ih each to resign her chance Of life to the other. It was hut an instant —life Was too precious, and the young wife sprang behind her hnsband, with a cry as If she was committing murder in thus leaving her mother and sister. The faithful servant was at the side of the carriage before his. master had left it —again there was a straggle between lave of lilb abd natural love. Need I say which prevailed? Or is it to be wondered at that the young creature, With the first Hush of life and hope upon her, should consent to live when tho arm of her Another forced her to the seat of safety? Yet even while she dang with one arm to her preserver, her pale face was turned dcsparingly toward her mother and her other arm was extended like that of a fbnd infant in distress.

with keen dark eyes atid & stoct intelligent smile. The other two were her daughters. The eldest Was the wife of the gentlemen, a pala ladylike young woman, with very white teeth and affectionate looking eyes. The Other was a bright beautiful girlj full of spirit and good nature. Wo were immediately on the most friendly tends Imaginable.— She, for my especial benefit, tubbed her aisteria traveling basket of a paper of bonbons, which were probably intended for the little folks at home; and I ib return twisted her beautiful hair most grotesquely, brought her my kitten to admire, and as a very particular favor, allowed her to frighten my Canary bird with my handkerchief. But happy as we were, the fidgety gentleman would dot permit us to remain so. Ho evidently carried things with a high hand in his family; bo at his behest the ladies took their scats in the barouche without a murmur. The driver} a sedate, careful man, looked wistfully at the swollen stream and then at his master, and when commanded to proceed gathered up the reins with evident reluctance. We stood at the door ahd saVv the horses take their first careful step into the turbid water. They Went slowly on, with the water rising gradually to the sides, and washing the hubs of the wheels—then there Was a sudden stop. The driver looked round anxiously, and wo ran to the bank of the stream.—A large mass of drift-wood was sWeepibg down the current toward the carnage. It would certainly have overturned it and all it contained in the deep, had the heavy mass rushed against them in its force; but fortunately it divided just before :it reached them, and was borne towards the shore. An exclamation of thankfulness arose from those in the carriage. Soon after wo learned that a part of the harness had given way, and that they had no rope to mend it with. A piece was procured and thrown towards them; bnl it missed its destination and was carried down.the stream. The old lady tore the satin riband from her bonnet and gave

fUfelron Mountain. Who bu nol beard of (he Irdrt Mountain of MiiiotirU Id the county of Sr. Francis, and ia the midi t of a fertile and flourishing agricultural region, some eighty. mile* from St. Louis, atld twenty-eight from the Mississippi, rises this famoaseminence of iron. t( ia thus detcribed by a Correspondent of the St. Louis i?qpu5fiai>i. The mountain and the moo rid consist of masses of iron dra of the riclieil qtialiiy,' arranged by the Hand of nature id .ready made lumps, from the size of a pigeon'i egg Upward, miked With a small portion Of red* dish yellow clay, , which itself, domains' Quite a per cenlage of iron. Thus fir the workings—there is -nofluiuiiy necessary—hare been , confined to h 'small portion of the westerly slope of the mound, the" mountain being held in reserve. I presume, for the^ grander operations of future generalions. 1 A few hands, with little labor or. cost* pick out enough ore to supply the furnaces. ■ The eijljre mound, so far as It has been excavated and tested, is composed of these lumps of ore. almost as pure as pig . metal, easily separated from the clay Which fills the interstices, lu many pU' ces, scarcely anything hut lumps of pure ore, with hardly any admixture, appear. In some parts of the workings, the ore taker! out requires no roasting to prepare it for the furnace; but generally it is roasted in immense heaps, which at this time form, a large stone fot future use. When this. mound, or that portion of it above the level of the PUrhice-, is all changed from its erode state to iron, the Company may proceed to excavate below that level, or comm mi eastward a few hundred feet, and attack the mounlaiu itself, which, so far as is known, is but a vastly enlarged edition of the same volume. But .at what period Will the' monndj even, be exhausicdl I hate seen no calculations; and heard of no estimate of the quantity of ore, but for my. own satisfaction, assuming the following data as entirely within reasonable bounds, these f esUlls arc obtained:—

[From Ihe American Pick. buff GrOUti On Americanism. Ono of the most extraordinary men that We hare tnet With is; Duff Green. He is an old editor, and there was a day when ho made his (pen ring in whatever causehe espoused-. He has recently addressed a letter to tile Hon.B, M. T. Hnhtcr.— We give the following, Which wo find in an exchange; His remarks upon Americanism, as developed in the recent thdtrnments of the American RephblicaU Party, are characteristic of the broad atad jJatriotic platform upon which oar creed is based. They breathe a.spirit of Irtic devotion to the perpetuity of oiir national existence, and go in for the union -of Americans, North and South,'for the sake Of the Union. His views so exactly accord with Onr own, as openly advocated by the Press for many months past, that we are constrained to lay befor onr readers the following' extracts, which will be perused with no little interest by every lover of his country and her institutions, whether native or foreign born: "From the days of Washington until now, the tendency of party organization has been to array the North against the South in a miserable and disgraceful struggle for tho Presidency. What is democracy dr What is whiggety but a combination controlled by the worst elements of each party, who are constant*, ly making new issues and new platforms, the solo; end and puroso of Which is, to elect' a party President?— And do yon not see that so long as the people are divided on sectional isshes, the contest for tho Presidency must necessarily be, whether the Northern, the Southern, tho Eastern, or the Western Western candidate ho chosen? and that tho necessary consequence of such a contest is to enable sectional demagogues to bnSAto sectional issties hpon Which they will atkay tho North against the South? And do yon not 60c, in what is AVOWod to be the purpose of the American parly, the basis of a now Organization more consistent with that more perfect union of tile Stales which our forefathers saw was indispensable to thd preservation of that concert among onrselves, which is requisite for the maintenance of onr rights and regulation of our intercourse with foreign nations? . , ’

Unmindful of lier own peril, the heroic woman, stood alone in the carriage, with her clasped hands extended toward her child* and . without once moving her eyes till she saw her' safe on the shore. Then her lingers were .unlocked, her arms fell by her side, and we knew by the motion of her white lips that she was saying, “thank God.” That moment, as if bnt just awake to her own. danger, she gave a startled look upon the stream. A hundred yards aboVe; the falls' thundered into the main strtatn aiid tlished otiward like an nnpcUt ocean > Th&rU Was tio hope in that direction, and as little below for there the comparatively small stream was swallowed tip by the inighty tndss of waters, and hurled onward in their bosom. One look of hope she cast oh the opposite shore. .The driver was again in the water; but now the carriage was rocking unsteadily under her light weight, and drifting slowly down the current. At first she pressed her hands hard upon the seat, as if her fcchlo strength could steady it against the force of the flood. She saw it was in vain—the current was rushing past her with increasing fury, and each instant the carriage wos gaining new velocity. Her courage entirely forsook her; despair rendered her black eyes vividly bright; and it was feorful to look upon her, now clinging to'. that frail vehicle, striving to hold it back from destruction, end clasping hcrmarblohands raising them toward heaven in supplication, or wringing them in her mortal agony. The carriage gave a sudden lurch and threw her forward upon her knees. Wildly she tossed her arms towards usi and then on high, shrieking, “save, me! my God, have mercy! ohl save me!*’ That voice, that look of fearful agohy—. ray breath comes painfully as I think of it. Faster and faster the carriage drifted on, tottering and shivering in the water—a straw might almost have upturned it, when the blessed driver swam at the risk of his life to' her relief.—With an unearthly cry she grasped his extended arm, and sprang across the shoulders of the horse, with her face to the rider, clinging around his body with such an expression of gratitude as went to the heart. For a moment the animal’s head was plunged under water, and the rider Was drawn forward by the Weight of the frightened womim. Had he been a man of less steady nerves they would inevitably have perished.. An agitated person Would have drawn the bridle and overturned the burdened and swimming beast. Instead of this bo relaxed the reins, and the faithful animal recovered himself, shook the water from his mane, and swam gallantly to the shore.

Average vVagCs of iricchantOs. We find a table in the Census Compendium which condenses a series of inquiries into the rates of wages prevailing m the several sections of the United States. The mere statement of the price of wages taken by. itself and separated from the prices of other things, cannot give ns a satisfactory idea Of the condition of the laboring population. But, nevertheless, the table suggests some thoughts that are both interesting and profitable.—Looking . at Urn column of monthly wages' to a farm hand with, board, it appears that the least amounts are paid in North Carolina, South Carolina and Maryland, prices rangingin these States from 97 to $$-, per month with board. Maine, Massachusetts, . Bhojie Islahd and Vermont,: pay froin 8 IS to $14-. California stands at 960’ mid Oregon at -87th Bay Laborers with board, range from forty-five cents in North Carolina to 84 cents in Massachusetts.

it to the driver.—Ho tied the harness, and they were dragged a few paces further into the water, wheb the frail silk gave way, and they were more hopelessly situated than before, it being equally impossible to advance or return. Tho young girl tore a white silk shawl from her neck and threw it to the driver; hut that only held together long enough to draw them deeper into the current, where, the water deluged the horses to their necks, and rose within a few inches of the body of the carriage. My father sought in vain to assist them. He had no horses on the island and they would ail have perished before be could have procured any from School Hill. They were now near the middle of the stream, and their situation was truly perilous. The young man clenched the side of.the carriage firmly with his hand, and looked up and down the stream with an expression of anxiety and remorse." The ladies rose to their feet, and looked about for some means nf safety; then satisfied that there were none,‘resumed their seats with pallid faces.

I do not believe that the end of Onf government, contemplated by the heroes and sages of the revolution, was a miserable conflict, to' be renewed every, four years, and absorbing and contrOling- all other issues, to decide who shall bO President; on the contrary, I believe that the mission of the United States, under the guidance of a superintending Providence, is to promote the cause of civil and religious liberty, and by the. influence of our example and the force of our free institu-tions,-to diffusa Christianity andcivilizathroughont the world, not by taking part in the war.between England and Russia, nor by manifesting our sympathy-for, either of the belligerent; nations, but.hy maintaining our nationality and: enforc* ing our independence, so that our, prosperity shall bearWifeeSa to oil the world that we are God’s chosen people, whose government he has made offer the model given by him to .the fiebrews, and tO whom ho has committed the'maintenance of republican liberty, as the form of government best suited to tho spread of the Gospel, and through whose agency tho world is to be prepared for the second coming of the Messiah.

THE FRESHET. BT MRS. AKIT 8. STEPHENS. .It was one of tho most terrible floods ever witnessed in onr village. Huge trees with tho earth still clinging to their uplom roots, now and then pitched over tho falls, and shook the old bridge to its very foundation, as they- were dashed against (he timbers. Tho waters had raised to tho top of tho bank back of onr house, and roared like a confined monster within a few yards of us. At the falls they poured down with uncommon force, aud had for one day and night been roshing in a muddy torrent across the rood, down tho hollow at the base of the hill, cutting, us off from Falls Hill, and even raising some distance into tho pine grove on that side. We were about to sit down to dinner, when a barouche, containing a yonng gentleman and three ladies, was seen coming down tho sand banks towards the bridge. The driver checked his horses at tho foot of tho hUl, and appeared to consult with the inmates oftho carriage. It waa madness in them to proceed, and as they had a full view of tho swollen river, wo expected to see them return up tho hanks; but to our astonishment they drove forward on the bridge, that even then was reeling and trembling like a drunken thing, amidst the strong current swelling under it.— Tha driver gave many an pnxious look at tho torrent as he guided his trusty horses safely over the island. My father went oat represented the danger of proceeding, and invited them to dine and remain with ns till the flood hod abated. They accepted the first part of his invitation, but insisted that they in their high carriage conld safely paas the stream at the foot of the hill They remained with us about three hours hoping that the waters would abate in that time. The young gentleman was a bandsome, fiery personage, and utterly unable to retain ms Impatience to get home, though tho' ladiee seemed very well content to remain as they were.

Let me entreat you to ask yourself where hto the great men, Calhoun, Clay arid Webster? Do you suppose their misshm ripon the earth tv as to orgabizO the South, the West and the North into factions for no other purpose than to array these factions against each other to prove how vim are the hopes of ambitious men? Or is it not more rational to suppose that to each was allotted a part in the great sectional conflicts, which were intended by an all-wise overruling Providence to prepare each section for the new issues presented by the American movement? Which, knows “no North no South,*’ but would unite all and each in the common' efforts to assort and maintain the rights and interests of the American people as separate and distinct from all other nations, united under that form of government which is better suited than all others for the maintenance of civil nnity, and diffusing a knowledge of Christianity and sending the Gospel throngout the world.

The instant the unforttfn&to womans foot left the barouche, it was hurled onward and dashed to atoms against the body ol a tree in the channel, and its scattered fragments, brandboxfis, trunks and baskets; with their rich contents, went to swell the treasures of the deep. I never was so happy in my life as When I saw the young girl rush to the bosom of her mother, and marked the tears of gratitude that deluged the face of the haughty man, who had obstinately involved the beings he most loved in such imminent peril.

their feet, stretched their arms toward him, and with tho eloquence of despair, entreated him to return and saro them. Tho haughty nature of tho gentleman was aroused, even in this deadly extremity.—Every feature quivered with fear and rage, as shaking his clenched hand after the driver, ho commanded him hack in a voice too powerful even for the roar of tho waters to drown. Tho driver, alike unmindful of entreaties or imprecations, did not even turn his head till ho arrived with the dripping beasts on shore. In an instant he leaped from his seat, and stripping them of their harness—except the halter—threw himself on one, and again plunging into the water. The act was greeted with a noisy outbreak of hope —a wild, hysterical laugh of joy from tho thankful group. He reached the carriage. There was a sound of voices os if in entreaty, and then the driver grasped his masters aim and forced him to take
