STEAM NAVIGATION ON THE BLACK
SEA

The American Steamship Bangor, which
left Boston last summer. for Turkey, has
been reported as having arrived at Constan-
tinope.an commenced running as pack
et between that City and Trebisond, "a
port on the southern coast of the Black Sea,
about seven hundred miles east Of the Bos-
phorus of Thrace.
What a rush Of historical events-what a
long succession Of centuries, wrough. with
wondrous and exciting "reminiscences Of
bygone empires and ages,-what startling
conceptions Of the future, and what a
multitude of thoughts and views on the
present vast and rapidly expanding extent
of commercial Recommendations
mastering on and throng the mind, behold
ing the name Of such ancient emporums
as Consta ntinople and Trebisond associat-
ed with that ofthis youthful republic. How
astonishing is it, that the intercourse be-
tween the mn gnifcient capitol ofthe Eastern
Empire Of the Caesars, and city OF the
kingdom of Pontus, should be maintained,
by the citizens Of continent which was
not even discovered, until more than fifteen
hundred years after Constantine laid fhe
everlasting foundation Of Constantinople.'
How remarkable it is, that Americans
should have undertaken and successfully
prosecuted a voyage to the country Of the
Colchians three thousand years after the
adventurous expedition Of the Argonauts;
and this too in a ship of such astonishing
construction and power of movement, that
had tappeared on the coastsof Egypt Tyre
Greece, Carthage or Rome, during the most
splendid periods OF their national eXstance.
it would have been deemed the creation of
God.
1t is highly honorable to the State Of Me-,
that two Of her citizens. Rufus, X. Page,
Esq. of Halowell, on Kennebec river, and
his eldest son, are the owners Of the ship
Bangor and the roectors Of this remark
able nautical experiment, which is being
so triumphantly carried into effect, as to
promise the complete realization Of the
important object for which it was under
taken. MAssAsoIT.

Cornelia was the pride and joy of her

Cornelia was a stranger to the Difficult

her youth were serene. But behold! Her
mother became sick, and she lay for mary

was high, and her mind became disorderod.
And the maiden spent the night awake by
the bed of her sick mother, and refreshed
her, and moved about in careful silence and
secret anguish.

And the 10Y Of the maiden's heart was
inconceivable. And Corneia went softly

BUFFALO Nav l3.

i'tF 1AlAO May 10.
A feet Of sail made her appearance in

go of wheat $3.50 bushels) has reached
port from her winter quarters at Pt Sar-
MIA, lake St. Clair, where she was caught
in the great gale last fall. Her arrival has
opened the wheat market and made stand

cents is asked for the cargo, and y cents
offered. Dealers may guess where to
mark. There is considerable flour arriy-

A VISIT FROM A LATTER DAY SAINT

On Tuesday last, the steamboat Maid
Of Lore. with colors flying and drums bea-
ting, landed at our wharf some hundred or
more Mormons. or Latter Day Saints, one
half the number composed Of ladies'. They
remained with us about an hour, during
which time they took stroll through some
of the principal streets Of our city. Hav-
ing returned aboard, the boat assembled the
river short distance. and makinga grace
ful turn, came down under a high press of
steam, passing the city in elegant style
and bending her course towards Scocko-
kong.
Altogether it was one Of the most inter-
esting displays we have ever had in this
place. Those who have been accustomed
to regard the Mormons as a poor, msera-
BILE. ragged set Of beings were ce tainv
disappointed on the occasion Of this visit.
AS to their religion, knowing nothing about
it. we have nothing to say. bu: as to their
character Of the individuals composing the
society, if we may Judge from the appear
ance Of those who were here on Tuesday,
it is certainly far superior to what has ge-
nerally been supposed. The gentlemen
composing the party visited us looked like
men Of education and respectabiIity-such
as might become any community; whilst
the ladies', to say the least Of them, were
certainly as fine looking and fashionable.
and apparently as refined and accomplish
ed as any one Of good taste would wish to
see on a summer day.
Gen. Joseph Smith (the prophecy was
aboard, as we were informed. but from
some cause did not make himself visible.
perhaps he did not choose to he made the
lion Of an idle curiosity.
We are informed thatthe Normons have
purchased part Of the site Of Stockholm,
some six miles below this place on the Hi
nois side of the Mississippi, and purpose
building up a town there. It was under
stood here that the object Of the party who
visited us was to take a view Of the ground
on which they contemplate building their
new town.
Nauvoo, their principal city, at the head
Of the lower rapids, is said to be improving
rapidly, and the church daily increasing
in numbers.

ONoNDAGA SALT-The law passed by
the Legislature, at its last session, in rela-
ton to the manufacture of salt, has given,
as was antici pated, new impulse TO the
manufacture Of Onondaga Salt. 1t is now
believed that this article will compete sue
cessfulIy with imported salt. Our western
friends have determined to push it into the
Atlantic market. Considerable quantities
have already been shipped from Albany to
New-York. This is the beginning Of
new and most important species Of trade,
from which we look for permanent and
mutual advantages TO the manufacturer and
the consumer.

Me7ancho7y.--A melancholy fate is writ
ten IN the annexed lines from the Niagara
Courier Of the Goth ut.
Last week there was found near the
Whirlpool, on the ledger Of the rock an
not far from the margin Of the Niagara,
the skeleton Of las believed) young man
There was not particle Of flesh on the
bones, one of the jaw bones was broken.
and the skull was apart from the other re-
mains; the teeth were remarkably fine
Nothing was found likely TO lead to iden-
tiication. with the exception Of single
barrel English fowlng piece. of the per-
cussion kind, bearing the makers name,
which name our informant has unIuckilv
forgotten. a little powder was found in
the piece, but no shot; and the ramrod was
missing. Its appearance led to the conipc-
ture that it had been exposed to the action
Of The weather from six or ten years.
No person has been missing from the
neighborhood, and it is believed that the
deceased is Il stranger; had been out shoot-
ing, and had accidentally fallen from the
cliff above the spot where the remains were
found, and that the flesh had been torn
from the bones by the animals and birds Of
prey which abound in the vicinity Of the
Whirlpool.

IRON CANAL BoATs-The Troy and
Oswego Line, says the Troy Wing, are
now building three iron steamers with
Ericsson's propellers, in addition to one al
ready built; intended for towing on the RI
yer and canals. One Of these boats will
also be put on the Northern canal. If they
should be found to answer the purpose in
tended, they will work an entire revolution
in canal transportation business. About 5000
horses are now employed in towing on HE
Erie canal, and several hundred drivers;
all Of whom would be turned out Of en-
ployment in short time, should the steam
propcilers be generally introduced. 1t is
not unlikely also, that iron canal boats will
supersede those built Of wood; thus throw
ing out Of employment large number Of
boat builders, and giving additional employ
mont to the iron workers Of New York and
other cities in the eastern section Of the
state. One of the iron steamers arrived last
evening from New York, and passed i'm
mediately ,p the canal for Oswego, with a
full load Of merchandize.-BuG. Courier.

THE REVOLUTION BEGUN--We per-
ceive that Henry a. Wise has been reelec-
ted in his district in Virginia. This is the
first Tyler man elected in the United States.
We believe there was once Tyler man
who received, somewhere in this state, 20
votes, but no man could make out his name.
But the election OF Wise is certain. This
is beginning the business for this season.
Probably the next man elected will be Caleb
Cushng-a very clever sort of fellow.
We shall watch his case with great inter-
est. But the Tyler people, if they expect
to succeed must go ahead little faster.-
If they don't they cannot hope to do much

Something better than to elect one Tyler
man in two years.-N Y. Herald.

MUSIC IN MILES.

l. Music is Z talent which every child
has, in less or greater amount; talent TO
be watched by parental care, like others:
cultivated like others; and to be accounted
for to the Giver,as for all his other bestow-
mcnts Of talent.
,. The early culture Of musical talent
in children, is point Of far higher i'm
portance than has ever yet been fully APP
pyeciated by parents. Let it be begun at
the same time with the culture Of all the
other talents God has given to your chill
dren.
3. Tie encouragement Of the profession
CT teaching music, is an important duty of
parents and heads Of families. Do not
look on teacher Of music, male or female
in the use Of the voice or Of instruments,
as seeking your patronage for something
which is not an equivalent to the compen-
sation asked. The livelihood Of a good
teacher Of music is as honestly earned as
that Of person in any other profession,
which deals with the mind and cultivates
the taste.
l. The cultivation Of both vocdz and IN
Strumentaz music in families is desirable and
wise. The same bountiful Providence who
has given voices, has also led to the inven~
ton of instruments. The fullest and best
Development Of musical talent, in the sons
and daughters Of family, IS made where
both the powers Of the rOice and the skill Of
the hands are cultivated in this art Give
Your son a flute. and your daughter a
pianoforte or a guitar; and let them have
instruction liz instrumental music: and let
them understand that you wish and expect
Improvement through the means thus fur
nished.
5. Music in family is means of domes-
tic cheerfulness. A musical family will, in
spite of cares, perplexities, and even Of
trials, be a cheerful family. Not gay-do
mean;(or there are many points Of differ
ence between cheertMlness and gaiety.-
But cheerful in that sense of term which
implies good spirits, and freedom from
what Robert Burns calls 'carking care;'
and by which needless depression Of spirits
and morbid melancholy are kept out Of a
family. You can have the sunshine Of
cheerlulness in your house, in the most
rainy, cheerless,or wintry day which ever
was,if you can have music. And if Attic
ton, by some trying providence, has caus-
ed tears to flow, or aching Of heart and
sorrowfuness of spirit, music coming TO
the old Of divine consultations and the SYM
pathy Of friends, will be a sweet soother
Of the pain which is experienced, and
tighten the weight which Expresses upon the
spirit.
6. Music produces good nature in fam
lily. And in this world, where there is so
much Of old Adam manifested in a thou
sand ways; and in the family, sometimes
as we'll as elsewhere, any thing which will
promote good nature is 10 be priced. Ii a
breeze spring up, sing song; or play a
march or a waltz. Who can be mad in the
midst of music9 or fret and scold with
sweet sounds falling upon his earsa or
keep up sour and sulky manners, when
the very air around him is bland with soft
harmony!-[Vermont Chronicle

When the world in throngs shall pass,
To the battles glorious van,
When the oppress' shall seek redress,
And shall claim the rights of man
Then shall freedom smile again,
On the earth and on the main.
When the tide of war shall roll,
Like the imperious oceans surge,
From the tropic to the pole,
And 20 the earth S remotest verge
Then shall valor dash the gem
From each tyrant's diadem.
When the banner is unfurled,

And the champions of the world
In their mi ght assemble there
Man shall rend his iron chain,
And redeem his right again.
Thcnx,he thunderbolts shall fall,
In their fury on each throne,
Where the despot holds in thrall,

And the cry of all shall be,

Then the trump shall echo loud,
Stirring nations afar;

And to rear the blade of war
While the tide of life shall reign,
And encrlmson every plain.

From the city of the Lord
Then the Light of victory
