American Diplomacy'-An article in a
late number Of the Eastern Argus, re-
marks on The ability and success with
which our Foreign relations have been
con ucled by the present allie Secretary
of State, Mr. Forsyth. No one of his
predecessors ever did more, even if as
much to elevate the character of this coun-
try abroad, or to ensure 10 our merchants
every possible advantage. for Legitimate
commercial enterprise. II was the cool
ness ard tact of the old Chief who then
held the reins of government, sustained
by MIR. Forsyth, that compelled France
to pay her acknowledged debts, notwill-
standing her bravado gcsticulations and
bad faith. He, too, aided by the consul

Stuffed Squirreb.-A French gentle
man in New York last week purchased
four grey squirrels, fine, large, plump
fellows to appearance, for Which he paid
handsome price, aud took them home
with him. In about an hour, he came
back in violent rage. The cook, in at.
tempting to strip them, found that they
were nothing but skins, stuffed with tow,
straw, &c. The individual who sold them
was, of course, among the missing. II

CHARLESTON OBSERVER.

Clt NLES lON ODoEh Lh'
The Office from which this paper was
issned, was destroyed by fire on the night
of the eth uli. and al"ioSt its entire con-
tents lost. The Editor, the Rev. B. Gill
DERsLEEvE, has issued an extra, for which
we regret that we have not room. We
publish such parts of it however, as states
the wishes of the Editor, so that those in.
terested and who may not otherwise sec
the extra, may have an opportunity Of
complying with his request and thus serve
the cause of religion, and morality.
The work of demolition was rapid. and
principally over before VIC reached the
scene. Our fricnds-& torthcir efforts we
sincerely thank them-succeeded in saving
part of our books, our desk, and a por-
ton of our types. The types, however,
arc in such condition that they cannot
again be used. The Press is destroyed
the Mail Book burnt-the Day Book bad
ly chared-:Ilc chief part of the Furni-

the slightest use.
The consequence is, we arc Obliged to
suspend the Paper till a new Office is fit
ted up. and ill the new Press and Types.
which we ordered on Monday, from New
York, shall be received.

positions from Cape Palmos TO Port Natal aud
in Asia, Constantinople to Ceylon; and throws
belt of moral light like galaxy over either
continent She has touched the iron sceptres
of Aranma and Mehamed, and they crumble from
their hands like ashes She gathers her school
on the Ac-opohs of Athens, and works her
printing presses under the shadow of the Pyra

Islands of the Southern and Pacific Oceans

worships at her alters
And wherever SIZE moves over the world, she
carries with her all the fruits of that civihza-

A MADMAN,S FROLIC.

Michael Kelly, in his g Dramatic Recollec-
tions," relates, with great effect, story that
Mrs. Mattocks, the actress, told him. She went
TO Bedlam with some friends, and the keeper
pointing to one cell which they had not seen,
said Here's one in here who is perfectly
quiet so long as You don't contradict him. Mind,
| say if YOU don't contradict him. Accordingly
they entered the cell, and saw pale-faced me-
lancholy looking man, with dark eyes, which
had penetrating brightness peculiar to mad
men. He was in deep thought as they entered.
The party having satisfied their curiosity, were
retiring, when, said Mrs. Matocks, he seized
me by the wrist, shutting the door and placing
his back against it, and held me in his firm
grasp.
Well, young woman said he, "you're in
a comical situation here, shut up with mad
man."
6 Sir said
" But you needn't be alarmed-you are per-
fectly safe; they told YOU was harmless, did
tdey not (? You needn't answer. Are you fond
of drawing? know you are. What is this!'
he concluded, holding up bit of paper.
" A ship" said [.
" A ship, is it? You call my tree ship do

"Yes, yes" said, "itis ship"
"Oh, and pray what is this :"
Obliged to say something, and not knowing
what he thought it was, answered 8 q house,
which it was.
"a house, eh " So saying, he pulled {

EARLY AMERICANS.

1t is now well established, that the Indians
OF the present day are either degenerated from
some more civilized race, or were preceded
by distinct and superior people. This fact is
attested by numerous monumental evldences-
such as cromlechs, alter-stones, circles of me-
mortal, rocking stones, and iumuh or barrows.
Whether the antecedent race were Celts, or
Jews, or Egyptians, or Huns, OF Cananites, or
Hindoos, or Japanese, (as has been variously
contended by our philosophers is a ques-
tion the solution of which is like the Gtndian
knot, is more mysterious than important. How
ever that may be, the dark hair and eyes uni
versal among the natives of the cis-atlantic
hemisphere indicate an Asiatic origin. The
first pioneers of America probably passed over
from Asia at Bhering's straits-where perhaps,
the two continents were once connected together
by an isthmus, as Virgil supposes to be the
case with Italy and Sicily at the straits of Mes
sina. Like a herd of Buffalo by chance stray
g:among the flowers and verdure of some Sc
questered praire, they snuff with rapture the
fragrant and unaccustomed gales, and speedily
darken the entire plain with their forms The
current of -migraiinn then setting from West to
East, the tawny Aslatlc advanced 10 the barrl-
ers of the Atlantic, while now the fair haired
blue eyed AnSlo-SaAOn IS moving onward from
the East to the West, like steady confagration
destined to be checked only by the waves OF
the Pacific.
An ancient chronicle OF Wales records, 4" that
civil war having occurred in that kingdom,
uponthe death of king Owen Gwimeth, between
his two sons, respecting the succession to the
crown the unsuccessful one, in aft of DISCUS
and chagrin, put to sea on new discoveries, ant
sailing from some part in Spain, he discovered
a new world of singular beauty and fertility
and uninhabited. Upon his return he trans
ported from his native mountains large mum
Der of people thither in several voyages. The
name of this adventurous young prince wa
Madoc-ap-O p-Owen-Gwinneth, and among the pla

TAILoRs DEFENDED.-A tailor insteal Of
being the ninth part of man, possesses the
qualities of nine men combined in one, as will
be seen by the following observations: First, as
an economist, he cuts his coat according to his
cloth second, as gardener, he is careful Of
his cabbage; third, as a sailor, he sheers OF
when it is proper fourth, as play actor, hs
often brandishes bare bodkin fifth, as d law
yer, he attends to many suits; sixth. an cx-
ecutioner, he provides suspenders or galIowses
for many persons seventh, as cook, he is
generally furnished with hot goose; eighth,
as sheriff's officer, he does much at spongng;
ninth, as a rational and scriptural divine, hrs
great aim is to form good habits, for the benefit
of himself and others. No doubt the subject
might be greatly extended but think enough

cast on the knights of the tllimble and needle
and to induce the fraternity to unite and con-
