STATE REPUTATION.

1t seems. by letters from London, that the
subject ofrepudiation by the States, is absor-
bing considerable attention. We wish that
the true circumstances and facts IN relation
to the sale of the bonds, were known to our
citizens generally. Demagogues have so
misreprescnted them, and reused so many
prejudices, by false assertions, that the minds
of the most honest, and honorable men are
conscientiously persuaded, that they ought
not to be paid. We are told that they are
in the hands of the rich Bankers and specu
lators, the Rotchchilds, Earrings and others,
whereas, in truth, the loss falls onl " upon
the poor widows and pensioners, and other
small capitalists, who have invested their
little savings in that way. 1t seems that
these extensive merchants induced thous-
andsto purchase our bonds, because bearing
higher rate of interest; and by their rep
reservations of our solvency, and honesty,
disposed ofthe whole amount of American
securities, throughout Great Britain and the
Continent This loss falls upon those least
able to bear it, and many instances are given
of hardship and misery, produced by repu-
diation. Will any honest man calmly re-
fleet upon the times when they were nego-
tiated the fairness OF the transaction; the
means they had ofdetecting flaw our re
ception of their money, and squandering 1t

hobby agents exceeding autAor'tg,' and
such like unconscionable excuses, TO drown
our feelings of national and of personal
shame. and henest regret2 Upon any 9TH
er subject but this, we would feel assured OF
the immediate triumph of truth, but here we
have to contend with the demon of par ty

AWFUL CALAMITY MADEIRA.

AWFUL CALAMITY MADEIRA-The Lis
bon Revista gives account of flood In
the Island of Madeira which DESTROYED a.
bout S2,500.009 in property, and caused the
loss of about fifty human lives. The Storm
and flood occurred on The 24th October, and
is thus described Mash. Banner.
Between and o'clock, the light of
day became suddenly obscured heavy black
clouds hanging as a comDact mass above
and around the whole island, involving in
the darkness of night both the land and the
ocean, while the glare from repeated flashes
of lightning, with the heavy rolling of thun-
der, and its re-ec hoed peals among the noun
tains rendered the scene terriically grand,
and seemed to threaten to submerge the de-
voted island down to the very caverns of the
sea, which. foaming, had for days already
been beating its shores like the proud and
roaring lion around an unguarded sheep
fold. With the repeated and awful claps OF
thunder, SO heavy mass of waters poured
down the gloomy armament above, that no
force, no industry, or hope, could resist it.
1t was as If new ocean were out-pouring
itself into the sea, and upon the land For
| more thar three hours. without Stacking,
did this stormy wonder continue The
springs became brooks-thesc as streams
and they as large rivers, while the valleys
turned into muddy lakes; cries of distress
shrieking in vain for help. from opposite
points and various distances, pierced the ear
even overlapping the noise, like rumblins
thunder; of rolling rocks dashing agains
each other in their course along the torrents
An unusua. tremor of the earth was felt un-
der the feet even the sense of smelling here
contributed also to pain the Imagination; fol
the vapor arising from the troubled waters
and torn and fretted earth, impregna.ed The
air with cadaverous fetidness which In
creased the terror of man and beast"

an elegant cabbage-head from his gargen. IL
Illustrative of new principle in that vegeta-
bic. accidentally discovered. About the
middle of June. having some last years
stumps which had been set out for salad
sprouts. he broke off three, about 5 or 4 in

They took root readily and grew as thrifty
as any other plant. Two of the three have
produced fine solid heads The one before
us measures two feet six inches in circumfe-
renee, with the open. outside leaves all strip
ped of. 1t is the drumhead shape The
| other head is more conical, and apparently
different species. Plants may thus be OBJ
tanned early, without the labor and attention
required for raising them in hot-bsds. The
principle is worthy ofnotice.

Our hearts are with our native land.
Our song is for her glory;
Her Warriors wreath is in our hand,
Our lips breathe out her story.
tIer lofty hills and valleys green,
Are shining bright before us;
And like a rainbow sign is seen
Her proud flag waving DER US.
And thcr are smiles upon our lips
For those who meet her fncmen,
For giory's star knows no eclipse,
When smiled upon by women.
For those who brave the mighty deep,
And scorn the threat Of danger,
We've smiles to cheer-and tears TO weep
For every oceaasranger.
Our hearts are with our native land,
0ur song is for her freedom;
Our prayers are for the garland band
Who strikes where honor leads them;
We love the ,ainiless air sc breathe,
IT'S freedoms endless bower.

OfItaiy's proud daughters;
OF Sco,land's issses-E ngla nd's fair,
And nymphs of Shannon's waters.
We need not boast their naughty charms.
Though herds around them hover
Der glory lies in freedoms arms-
