Interesting Courfesy.-It will be recol-
lected that the U. S. Exploring Squadron,
whist at Cape Horn, met with very bols-
ferrous weather, and some of the vessels
suffered damage. The store ship Relief,
it is understood, lost all her anchors at that
time. She arrived at Valparaiso in April
last, and was of course obliged to lay off
and on, having lost all her anchors. Her
Britannia Majesty corvette Fly was ly.
ing in the harbor at the time, and the con-
dition of the Relief was inferred from her
movements. The commander Immediate
w despatched his boats, with an dachor
AID cabie, for the Relief, which were bent
on, and the store ship came to anchor.
The Relief was at Callao on the 10th
of May, and she then had the anchor and
cable of the corvette. Such expressions

times when diligently traced out.-Nortk-

Educate your Chi iren.-The following
elegant extract ought to be read by every
parent, and particularly every farmer:
4" If the time shall come when this al
mighty fabric shall totter; when the bea.
cen which now rises in pillar of fire,
sign and wonder Of the world, shall wax
dim, the cause will be found IN the igno-
rance of the people. If our Union is still
TO continue to cheer the hopes and animate
the efforts Of the oppressed of every ma
ton; if our fields are to he untrod BY the
hirelmgs of despotism; if long days of
blessedness are to attend our country in
her career of glory if you would have
the sun continue to shed its unclouded rays
upon the face of freemen then, educate
all The chtidrea in the land. This alone
