Sensibilify of the Deaf aud Dumb.-Visting the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in the city of New York, a few days since, met with instance of ready and sensitive appreciation of ideas conveyed by signs, that delighted me more than any exhibition of the deaf mutes that had ever seen. Quite number Of ladies and gentlemen present during the exami nation of class that had been under a of n struction but a single year. The class was composed of males and females of various ages; including two or three young ladies of about seventeen, of prepOs sessing appearance; their intelligent, happy faces rendering it difficult to believe that the of glad ness had never broken in upon the silence of their souls.
 A young man, one of thh pupils, was on the floor, and after having giving exhibition, by signs, of va rious emotions, que, fear, hatred, admiration, he was desired by of the company to illustrate tope As he proceeded to express by gestcuatons the man ner of one who wished to make himself agreeable to female friend, which he did with gracefulness and skill, turned to look at one of the young ladies in the class, watch the effect of the exhibition upon her mind. As turned, caught her eye. She was evidently alive to the sentiments of the exhibition Abashed at being detected in her conscious enjoy ment of the thought, she blshed deeply, and quickly soved her seat, so as to be no longer sight In the expression of her sweet face, in the delicate blush that mantled her cheek, in the half roguish but hap py smile that played her lips, and in the removal of her seat if she ashaHleI to be detected in her confessed enjoyment of such scene, there was all the evidence of the perfect conception of the idea, and the proper appreciation of the delicacy of mind becoming young and lovely girl that could have mark ed the department of the most refined of her sex, whom all the inlets of intelligence were free.
 Call it weakness or foolishness to be pesised with such an exhibition of the power of the deaf and dumb to enter into the velcst and tenderest emotions of the human heart but was ilst .o weak and foolish that as this tmid girl stole out of my sight, mist gathered over my eyes, and found them filling with tears. What would not have given for the power to pour upon her hearing ear the sound of voice of love- and then to unoose her tongue and listen the music that would come hack, when the chord of her hearts harp touched. It may be that the loss of the outward (and, may say, grosser,) senses is more than made up by the exquisite sensbiliiy of that soul that anticipates and exceeds the expression of sounds; that takes impress deep and precious and pure from the iantest geam of thought that kindIes in the eye, plays the face of friend; and thus in the still, o! how s chambers of That mute spirit there must be bliss that feel.- TN.

 Lewis Tappan, Esq. New York.
 The wing papers of New York say of this letter that it is honorable the President, and contrasts favorably with the horrid alacrty manifested by Mir. Van Buren, while President to deliver those wrecl,- ed captives over to a cruel death.''
 If we recollect aright, " alacrity" of the kind was exhibited by Mir. Van Buren. The order whlc, that gentleman issued was to deliver the captIves' officer of the United States navy, to hold them secure against the time their case should be adudi- caled before the tribunal cognzant of such matters Respecting this letter of Mir. Tyler, we make no remark; but it appears to us that the comments of some of the aforesaid papers on it designed to intimate that the new lministraton is not disposed to be rigid the last was regarding subjects in which interpretation with southern sentiments on sla- very is concerned. Certain it is that one of them more than implies that the wing administration has less horror of abolition than Mir. Van Buren had. We suspect this will not be construed by southern men to the prejudice of Mir. Van Buren, how mucl, popularity soever it may bring to the whigs among the aboltionsts of the east.

sHAws PATENT BED.sTEAD.

We congratulate the country generally,
its housewives especially and our ingeni
Gus friend and townsman particularly upon
an invention of which he is the author and
(probably before this time) The Patentee.
We had seen his bed-stead before he de-
spatched it to Washington, and are graft
fled to discover, from letter just handed
US by Mr.. S., that our own judgment of
the ability of his invention is concurred in,
and confirmed by the judgment of those
whose every day business it is to examine
and pass upon the inventions of the age.
From what we understand concerning it,
the whole improvement consists in the
adoption of dovetail Gnstead of screws
or tenons) so constructed and SO acting as
to become the tighter and closer by reason
of the weight upon the cord or sacking, and
capable of being taken down, in case of
fire, &C., in less than one minute!
Another of its qualities land one which
will be as grateful to housekeepers and
cham5ermaids as it will be rllinous to pa
tent drug sellers) is, that "a bed-bug or
chince can't come in sight ofit."
But we forbear more at present than to
conclude our congratulations by publishing
the following note from our fellow citizen,
Col. Birch, who kindly took charge Of
the business for Mr.. Shaw, when about to
visit Washington about month since:

contained in the article alluded to, and the
reasons for his voting as he did, with the

THE MORMONS.
Mr.. HENRY SHAW,
Fayette, Missouri.

An officer of one of the steamboats, that
lately arrived at our wharf from above,
says the ST. Louis Republican, informs us
that the Governor of Illinois has, bona fide,
become Mormon. There had been sew
eral hundred Mormons, from New York
and England, who had lately made "de-
scent" upon Nauvoo, and the circumacent
regions, by way of making settlement there.
This colony was beheld with alarm by many
of the dispassionate inhabitants in that part
of the State. Both the American, and En-
glish emigrants of that persuasion, had come
there at least as well armed and accoutred
for the fight, as for agriculture; not one
male among them that knew how to use fire
arms, but mad his rifle, his pistol, and many
others of them their snicker-snee. With
the colony from New York, there had been
several young women decoyed off from pa
rents and friends, with them, by means OF
promises the most extravagant, and descrip-
tons of country more romantic than ever

the earth even in state of nature, were as
the Garden of Eden before it had been
cursed with thorns and thistles; the straw
berries growing there in a state of nature
being equal to pomegranatesl One of those
deluded young women, at the sight of this
paradise, gave expression to her disappoint-
ment that bordered upon despair-so diff
ferent was the real scenery from the repre-
sentation, and so complete, so hopelese as
to deliverance, was her captivity. The fact
of the Governors joining this society, was
looked upon as no unmeaning "sign of the
times" to come. Such is the rumor we have

Wharf.-The MORMONS.

Our neighborhood friends are again be-
ing interested with rumors of War, and
the poor Mormons are anon represented as
drilling four thousand men-the LIST of
July being fixed as the day for their descent
on Missouri Gov. CARLIN, of Illinois, is
represented as having joined their church,
and every now and then we are met by a
surmise that he is to head the anti-Missou-
ri army.
We do not perceive so much danger from
this movement as some apprehend, for al
though Gov. CARLIN is commander in
chief of the Army and Navy of Illinois
our friends forget that Gov. REYNOLDS is
commander in chief of the Army and Ma.
Wy of Missouri Our Governor, we ap.
prehend, will not permit so fortunate cir
cumstance to pass without improvement
and as military renown is considered the
road to preferment and fame, we opine he i.
even now making note of his regimentals
and preparing to draw on the armor of hi
wrath. We therefore caution Gov. Car.
lin and his Mormon brethren to beware O
Gov. Reynolds. He is remarkably ath
letic man---of middle age-sound health
determined spirit-frequently smokes a

EXTRA SESSION.

The Extra Session of Congress, agree
able to the proclamation of the President,
was to have met on Monday last. By our
exchanges from different parts Of the Uni
on, we learn that most of the members of
Congress have left their homes for the Cap
itol and by this time have doubtless reach
ed Washington, and entered upon the dis
charge of their duties. We shall await
with anxiety, their proceedings, and lay
the latest and most important before our
readers at as early day as possible. There
will be no time for idle discussion, and we
earnestly hope and expect to see that the
members of Congress will talk less and Dork
more. The present state of affairs of the
country require that immediate and effect
ual measures should be adopted for the re-
lief of the people; the people expect it
they have been promised tit is due them
land they look for Congress to set itself
about the work, and with determination
to carry it on, and that as speedily as the
nature of circumstances will admit Of
But we do not expect, nor can any one,
that the present arrangement of our affairs,
which has been the work of twelve years,
can be repaird, and things set in motion in
a different and more healthful manner, in
moment. Every thing has to be over
hauled and set to rights; and to bring order
out of the chaos in which matters were
left by the late administration, has been,
and will be, matter of no small impor-
lance. The reports of the heads of De-
partments, which will be laid before Con-
gress at an early day in the session, will a
stale unfold" which will astonish the peo-
pie to see the manner in which their bust.
ness has been conducted by the men they
deputed to attend to their affairs. Already
have things been brought to light which
give evidence of the most corrupt and
shameful conduct on the part of the late
administration. But we await the appear
ance of the reports, which will speak for
themselves.
In the meantime we would suggest to
every friend of the administration the pro-
priety of having some newspaper, from
which they can learn what is being done by
Congress. Notwithstanding we consider
it the duty of every person, at oil times
to take some paper, we deem it of more
than ordinary Importance that the friend:
of the administration should have one al
this time; for it will be the business of the
federal press-and they have already com
menced-to misrepresent and falsely &C
cuse the administration of every thing that
their imagination can conjure up. 1t il
necessary, then that its friends should be
prepared to refute their false assertions, anc
give it at least affair bearing-to do which
it is indispensably necessary that they
should have some paper, containing ar
