SAND STORM.

The following terrific description is by
MIR. Fizzer, the traveller in Khorazan
'lt duwned at last, and morning found
me still in wide and trackless waste of
sand which, as the sun arose, was only
bounded by those fitting vapors which de-
celve the thirsty traveller with the belief
that water is near, and have thence obtain
ed the name Of 'the water of the DESERT
In vain looked for the marks by which my
friend Sellm had taught me to recognize a
place OF reireshment. There was but too
much cause to fear that was now in one
Of those terrible tracts Of dry and moving
sand, in which no water 10 found, aud
which sometimes, when set in motion by the
wind, swallow up whole caravans and their
conductors. Alas the morning light, so
earnestly expected, only dawned to prove
that was surrounded by dangers had
never dreamed OF. The wind which had
blown 50 piercingly all night, lullsd, as it
generally does, towards morning but the
nazy vapor, loaded with light PARTICLES of
sand, through which the sun rose as red as
blood, gave warning that the calm would
not continue long nor had | pursued my
course another hour before the roar of the
desert wind was heard, columns of dust be-

Asthe wind increased, the whole plain
around me, which had been heaped by for
mer tempests into ridges, like the waves of
IL troubled sea, now got In motion; the
sand blew from off the incrests, like spray
from the face Of the waters, and covered
myself and horse with its dense eddes:
while often unable to distinguish the true
course, my horse :oiled over the rid res,
sinking up to the very girths in their deep
battling substance.

OHIO STATE JOURNAL FOR THE
SESSION.,

In consonance with previous usage, the
proprietor of the Ono STATE JOURNAL
submits the following Prospectus to the
consideration of the citizens of Ohio. The
political character of the Journal Is so well
known, that no new comments are necessa-
nv TO explain it. 1t is unequlvocally oppo-
sed to the administration of Martin Van
Buren, and to all the mad schemes of him
selfand his advisers. The Journal will con-
tinue, steadily, in the path of its long avow-
ed and long cherished principles. Success
cannot corrupt it, nor defeat intlmldate it.
As faithful sentinel on the watch-tower Of
American liberty, it will always be found
awake on Its post.
During the winter, abundance ofInterest-
ing matter may be expected from the halls
of our State Legislature. The work OF
BANK REFORM is to be finished, by the ma
jority who now rule triumphant, and we, in
common with the whole State, feel anxious
to investigate its operation and its progress.
Our attention will be given to the subject
most amply and unreservedly.
In every other respect, the Ohio State
Journal will adhere to its original plan and
character. It will be, emphaticaIiy. a NEWS
PAPER, in whose columns may be found all
the interesting events of the day. Con-
gresslona reports, foreign and domestic
intelligence, together with the opinions of
our contemporaries of the Press, and occa-
sonal draughts from the pens of our literatl,
will form an agreeably variety. A generous
support is requested.

Whose old Dutch friend, he don't forget,

And writes Wosser us ever yet.

Watching the tricks Of cat and mouse;

And the long shadow of the cypress falls
Athwart the common grass.

Earths buOnes growth the fragrant wild flower, dss
! The tombs Of yesterday.
And in the twilight deep,
Go yelled women forth. like her who went,
Sister of LAZARUS TO the grave to weep,
| To breathe the low lament.

Where er is power ponp, pleasure, pride; where'er
| Life il, or was is death.

AMERICAN ISsTIrUrE.-A meeting held las,
night at the Howard Hoase, Of the friends Of the
American Institute, who have taken step in favor
Of reform and reorganization Of that useful nsti-
tute. The meeting organised by the appoint
ment Of l.. Livingston, Esq to the chair. A Report
was then offered, which contained several very
heavy charges against the management Of their pres
ent officers.
The following the principal points of the Re-
port The first charge-Unauthorscd delivery Of
badges Of membership for the Fair to persons not
members. ID Taking three dollars from them, and
promising them admission afterwards. Sd. Suppress
sing Reports of Judges, and substituting spurious
ones. 18th. Taking money for medals awarded. 5th
Furnishing gold medal to applicant at his
pcnse, when such medal had been awarded. 9th.
Refusing to obey express Resolutions Of the Insti-
tute. 7th Keeping the Library for several years
in condition be of little or no use TO the members
9Th. Loose and negligent manner Of collecting dues
and keeping the accounts of the Institute 9Th Sup
pressing official documents, and substituting othesr
in their places. 10th. Neglectng report the state
Of the finances at the last meeting, although requr-
ed by the bye-aws.
After the report was read and adopted, Mr.. Will
liams rose and stated that many more charges,
equally outrageous and reprehensble, might be add
ded to the list The Institute, he said, was on the
brink Of bankruptcy, when il ought to have on
hand from 10, 900 to IL 900 dollars. No one could
tell what had been done with the money. There is
only 500 in the Treasury at this moment, which
would pay the debts of the Institution. The num-
Der Of contributors TO the annual fairs was yearly
decreasing in consequence Of the gross mismanage-
ment Of the managers, and the injustice in awarding
premiums. lie stated that medals awarded to exhi-
biors three years ago, have not yet been given to
them, and that there is prospect Of their getting
them Tor some time TO come. The institution under
the present managers, is disgrace to the city. and
unless there be a change it will soon go downtown
down.
Several other gentleman, including Messrs At
well and Gay, addressed the meeting and gave a 81
milar view Of the conditions Of things-and from
conversation with several, we learn that one or two
persons have lived entirely for years, on the pro-
cceds Of the fairs, &c.-and lived sumptuously too.
Committees were appointed to have the report
published and also to adopt measures for the cleo
ton Of suitable aud Trustworthy officers on the l4th
Of next month for the year ensuing.
We glad that a ement like this has at last
been made Complaints loud and deep, have been
uttered and unless alteration be made in the man
agcmept they will continue till the Institution dies
and is no more
