THE SOUTH DESCRIBED TO BE a HOR-
NETS NEST. BY A MEMBER OF THE
COALITION.
In the Indianapolis, Indiana, Democrat OF
the oath uIt., we find letter, over the sigma
iure of w. w. Wick, dated Washington,
January IL, Of which we subjoin an extract
for the cdifcaiion OF the Southern branch Of
the Coalition.
Mr.. Wick seems TO be Of opinion that
{" fanaficism" is not exclusively confined to
the I" ,ceH meaning fanatics" OF the Norlh'
and that the South might be stronger u ihey
did not " indicate more Of fright than oil con-
scious safety" II will be seen that Mr.
Wick recommends the Southern insects" to
keep quiet, and tho abolilionists will not
"pell" their I" nests"
We make the following extract.
An abolition petition was prosecuted and was follow

Mr.. ALLEN cannot forbear to congratulate you
and the Republican Wings Of the Union upon the
prospect, which grows brighter every day, of the
coming triumph of Republican principles. 1t is
now conceded on all hands, that the action Of the
Harrisburg Convention dictated BY purity of
purpose, sound judgment, and wise discretion. The
claims of General Harrison will be much better
understood and more highly appreciated, than at the
former election. There is no doubt that he will
combine the iu Whig strength of Virginia, and Of
the whole South.
The affairs Of the National Armory al this place,
have been most shamefully managed. The works
Of the whole Armory have been suspended for seve-
raj days. for want of wood. The like never occur
red before, since it was an armory, and owing
entirely to the neglect of the officers providing wood
in good season.
Another fact will state, for your Information
and think it fl subject for investigation The
Paymaster here received drafl on one Of the New
York banks for funds TO pay of the hands employed
this armory. He took the specie draft and sold 1t
for paper, and made handsome premium by it--he
paid the hands in Virginia and Maryland notes and
shinpasers, and some lille silver money, and re-
fused TO give them cent OF the premium, to the
whole of which they were entitled. Many Of the
hands, Of both parties, were very much dissatisfied,
and talked Of bringing the mater before the Secre-
tary of War.
What have stated, sir, can be subslanated by
every citizen OF Harper's Ferry Now, will ask,
what will b: done with the premium, amounting TO
several hundred dollars Who knows but il may
be used for electioneering purposes, Gel Do you
not think that the affairs of our whole country have
taken strange turns. Instead OF honest men, and
sincere political action, ,predicated upon law and right
and the eternal fitness Of things, have new race
of men, seemingly, from their ncongruiiy in refer

are unutterably painful. TO see the OBJ
ect of his paternal solicitude, over whom
he has watched day after day, and year

Bridge across tho Mississippi.

The people of st. Louis have for a
long time been thinking Of building a
bridge across the Mississippi at that city.
The city council sometime since autho-
rizcd MIR. Ellet to examine into the prac-
ticabity and expense of such structure.
He has made a report, of which the
Gazette gives the following as the cs-

"Thc bridge is to be three thousand
feet long, from bank to bank, to be sup
ported by wire cables, to have only two
piers and three arches, and to be cleva-

Truth Beautifully Expressed.

The following passage, beautiful IN its
truth and in the expression of that truth,
is from the editor of the Baltimore Amer
lean. 1t will be felt and appreciated by
every parent, and most heartily do we
commended it to the attention of children.
elf children could only be made aware
of the heart feltdelight with which parents
behold the Development of talent and
noble sentiment in their offspring, with
what avidity would they seek the means
of expanding the sphere OF their intelli-
gence, and cherishing the moral senti-
ments that impart dignity to the human
cLaractcr.-From infancy to manhood the
welfare and happiness of the child is the
sole object of the parents solicitude.
Under all circumstances, thro' good or
evil fortune, the present and future con-
dition of those whom they may have
rocked in the cradle, or handled on the
knee, is the polar star to which their af-
fections point with undertaking constancy.
Should their path through life be prospe-
rous. the possession of wealth and dis
tinction is only precious in their eyes, as
allording the means of comforting on those
who are, in future years, to be their re-
representatives., the honors that attend RI
ches and exalted character and should
adversely be their lot, and difficulties be-
set them, they are forgotten in the hope
that circumstances may ensure better
fate to their children. The child may be
afectionate and tender, but the filial re-
lation is not susceptible of affection which
belongs to the paternal tie. 1t IS this
depth oflove that enables the old to pass
from the stage of life without regret.
They feel that in their children they
will continue to live, and that however
this world and its concerns may be lost to
them, succeeding generations will recog-
nize in their offspring portions of them.

~ short. horns, three years old, recently
introduced into Vermont.
This noble animal is now held ready for
the accommodation of those who may wish
to improve their breed of neat cattle. A
view of him will convince the experienced
breeder of his good points and character;
as he has good symmetry. good color, limbs
and horns ; is large and active: good ma
tured, orderly and quiet. A single cross of
the native breed (even were it carried no
further) with this animal, will prove Of in
calculable advantage to the stock of this
vicinity. 1t is the opinion OF competent
judges amongst US, and Of a majority of
English and Scotch breeders acquainted
with this country, that for our climate
state Of pasturage, keep, care, and market,
this breed is preferable to the much exlol-
led Durham, [see Cutivalor. Vol. 4, being
more hardy, requiring less care. and less
keep: and even excellng in combining the
two and rather converse qualities of being
good mixers and of fattening readily.
