aud therefore the nati ion is responsible now

it is greatly feared that Providence will

we hear the thunder at a distance already,
but alas. we appear to take no warning.
The eventful visitation of the fire in New
York appeared to be the commencement.
Many millions of property were destroyed.
Many people greatly reduced in their CIR
cumstances, in many different ways; of such
as owned insurance stock: many helpless
females AID children greatly reduced. This
calamity must be felt for years, and will
cost many sigh and many tear yet

On our coast we have had an unpreceden-

The immortality of the people generally
appears to increase. Seeing the wicked
ness that prevails IN high places they seem
to follow the example. Almost daily we
read in our public prints accounts of muir

far as we can ascertain is very little shor

Texas acted prudently and judicously t.

Jacksonville IN Morgan County to Meredo.
STA on the Illinois River, a distance of 26
miles. II passes, we are informed, through
one Of the most level. fertile and highly
cultivated regions ofthe ate. The CAPT.
tai is one hundred thousand, with the prvi-
lege Of increasing it to two hundred thou
sand dollars. The company has four years
to commence and eight years to complete
the road. It is believed that the road will
be ultimately continued across the State
and connect with road in Indiana, and
finally reach the Lake or DO connected
with the N. York and Erie Railroad.
Any person owning lands in Morgan
County may subscribe for stock, one share
at leas, on everv 40 acres, by giving q
mortgage aud paying per cent. interest
to the company, and the company may in
turn raise money on these bonds and mort.
cages for the construction Of the road.
From the uncommon favorable charac er
Of the coun,rv,it is believed the entire work
NAV be completed for $780, 900.

Youth, undoubtedly, is very easily contain

and opinions OF those with whom it asso
ciates but as a guard against these evils,
there is an innate pride in the disposition of
every young wnmln, which will prevent her
from making friends Of her interiors; and
that mind, and those manners, must take
an impression more easily than the softcst
wax, and be sooner sullied than the whit est

A Sailors FUNERAL.-There is an
honest open heartedncss about sailor
which TO us Gland lubbers" is at once novel
and interesting. The recent discharge of
the Delaware, threw upon our city great
number of these amphibious creatures, and
our streets have been for some time past
thronged with them. Two or three of
them have died recently, and their funerals
have been got up in style which puts our
carriages and lverles completely in the
shade. We witnessed one last week.
A hack led the way, containing the official
mo minister, sexton, &c; next came the
hearse with the remains of the sailor, i'm
medla,ey behind it a handsome. thick
whiskered Long Tom coffin, bearing the
ensign of tho Unlted States, and supported
on either side by body guard; then fol-
lowed about two hundred sturdy looking
fellows. in blue shirts, tarpauling hats,
blue coats and white trowsers, hand in

The important discovery made by Dr..
Luzenburg. an intelgen, physician of New
Orleans, that the pu.tules and mark left
upon persons afflicted with the small ox
arise from exposure to the light has been
verified in various experiments made upon
patients in one of tho hospitals under his
charge. The New Orleans Bee ofthe Goth
has the following paragraph on the subject.
formerly he tested the principle in many
experiments made At the charity Hospital,
which Mr.. (now Dry Picton incorporated
in medical treatise for graduates diplo-
ma: and lately he has proved in many cases
sent to his own hospital--the Franklin In
Urinary. Reasoning on the singular fact
that the clad body never had pitted marks
and that the exposed members generally
had, he inferred that this originated from
the want Of light, whose effects on cutan.
cous diseases are already known. He sep
arated one part of the body, on which he
allowed the light to fall day and night, and
had the superior members completely sha
ded by rugs from its effects. The conse'
auence was that the exposed parts were
strongly ptted on the recovery of the pa.
tien,s, while no marks remained on the
parts shaded.
This is a happy discovery, and doubly so
when the same system being used will
change malignant stage into mild This
has also been fully attested by DR.. Luzen'
burg's experiments.
The learned doctor believes that diseas.
es Of the eye might be similarly treated
with equal success, and indeed most cutan.
eous diseases as their virulence is chiefly
caused by the light--the absence or depriv.
alton of which will obviate their ma lignancy
and promote the utility Of proper remedies.
