HOSTAGES.

The reduction of hostages, and general
reform in the system of the department, is
a matter of the highest importance, more
now that the currency of the
country has been reduced to specie level
and business is about to revive on the cash
business and small profits. Postages are
an important item in exchange operations,
and should be brought down 10 the lowest
point, 10 assist business as we'll as to con-
fer upon that large proportion Of constant
correspondence with their absent friends.
The Hartford paper suggests, in copying
our remarks recently made upon this sub
ject, that the rate should be FIVE cents for
a single letter 10 any part Of the Union,
however distant; that no extra charge
should be made for increased distance Of
transportation. There is much truth IN
this. When mail routes are Established, il
is no more expense to carry the letter one
thousand and five hundred miles, and a
brother or other relation at New Orleans
should be able 10 communicate with his
family as cheaply as if he were only a,
Washington. 1t has been found to be true
10 England, that under the cheap system
individuals pay actually more money to
the government than under the old, but
then they send many more letters. 1t is
an every day expression, abe sure you
write 10 US, the postage is but penny, you
know. Instead Of being obliged to pay
out money every time a letter is sent, a
box of stamps is purchased, like a box oc
waters, and merely affixed one or more to
the letter discharges the postage. This
greatly promotes writing. and Of course
iriendIess, and gradually draws out and
strengthens those social feelings withou,
which people are no better than barbarians::
How many friendships have been dropped,
how many family ties broken, how many
tender feelings nipped in the bud, because
necessity separates parties who cannot
bear the expense ola correspondence. If
a government cannot remedy these things,
OF what use is government? Why do we
have statesmen but they are supposed TO
enchance the happiness Of the people? In
business and social poin, Of view, there
is none which is susceptible Of so great a
reform as our "prohbitive" post Office
system. Ii all letters were charged FIVE
cents only. a great reduction in the burden
or the mail would take place, and an in
crease in the revenue. Let every man
think how many times he has sent letter
enveloped in a newspaper, through the Of
fee, to save the postage; then let him cal
culate how many do the same. He can
then calculate on these data. An ordinary
newspaper, dry, weighs 2oz., and with his
letter weighed 2aoz for carrying which
the post office received IL cents. Ii the
rate of postage had been Ave cents, the
mail would have carried 4oz. for cents
instead of 2.oz. for ] cents. le, the de-
partment complains that it cannot reduce
rates because the mails are heavy and the
receipts ght. The remedy is cheap rates.

DREADFUL STEAMBOAT DISAS-
TER AND LOSS OF LIFE

1t has been av very long while since any
serious steamboat accident has occurred,
and people had almost begun to forget that
such things had ever been. Yesterday,
however, the calm was broken by the re-
ception of the following dire intelligence
from the south. 1t is from the Louisiana
Chronicle Extra, published at Bayou Sara }
Of the Doth uIt:
1t has become our mournful duty to re-
cord one OF the most terrible catastrophes
which has ever happened on the MISSISSIPPI
'pi. Yesterday, at about a quarter past 10
o'clock, as the steamer Clipper No, l was
backing out from her mooriugs at our land
ing, she bew up with an explosion that
shook earth, air and heaven, rs though the
walls OF the world were tam ling to pieces
about our ears. All the boilers bursted
Simultaneous -machinery, vas, fragments
OF the boilers, huge beams Of timber, furni-
ture. and human beings in every degree OF
multllatlon, were alike shot up perpen-
dIcularly many hundred fathoms in the
air. On reaching the greatest height, the
various bodies diverged like the jets Of q
! fountain in all directions failing TO the
earth and upon roofs of houses, and in some
instances as much as two hundred and
! fifty yards from the scene of destruction.
The hapess victims were scalded, crushed,
torn, manged, and scattered in every pos
sbIe dcectIon-many into the river, some
IN the streets, some on the o,her side of
the Bayou, nearly 800 yards-some torn
assunder by coming in contact with pickets
and posts, and others shot like cannon balls
through the solid walls Of houses at a great
distance from the boat. All in front o.! The
wheel houses appears though swept by a
whirlwind, But any thing like an adequate
description Of the scene of wreck and ruin
is utterly out of the question.
On reaching the spot, we Immediately
bent our steps towards the temporary
he spital hastily prepared for the reception
of suck as might be found to retain a spark
of life. The scene was such as we hope
never 10 look upon again. The floors of
the two large warerooms were literally
strewn with the dead and dying, and others
pouring in as fast as it was possible to con-
vey them praying. groanlng, bowling.
and writing in every possible contortion
Of physical agony.

TARTER on THE TEErH.-A singlar pa
per was lately read before the French Acad-
envy of Sciences from NJ. Mandi. entitled
microscope investigations as TO the nature
Of the tarter and mucous coverings Of the
tongue and teeth" If we are 10 believe
NJ Mand!'s microscope the human mouth
is perfect cemctry. where millions Of in
fusoriB find their catacombs. Lenvenkouk
had already told US that the human mouth
was peopled with infusory animals and that
the mucous secretion Of its surface served
as their ocean; but it remained for NJ.
Mandl TO discover that the tartar which COW
ers the teeth is formed Of the mountains
Of the dead of those inhabitants of this
ocean. NJ. Mandel Know not to what cause
TO attribute the origin Of these microscopic
animals, but he has aserta ned he says. tina,
they are mos: numerous in persons who
live on spare diet, and that they are insant-
Iy killed by ardent spirits.

Woaders of Pataetism.-The Rev. La
Roy Sunderland delivered lecture in Lo-
we'll last week, his object being to explain
the true philosophy of mind, and those laws
concerned IN the production of the mental
states, called Somnambulism,S Second Sight,
Trance, Dreaming, Fascination, Witch
craft, Insanity, &c. The Lowell Wash
ingtoaian says that the experiments were
more interesting than is in the power Of
language TO describe. For instance: on
commencing he in formed the audience
that he would induce u state of catalepsy,
or somnambulism, (Mr Sunderland calls it
n state Of Hvpnopathy, or sympathetic
Sleep in n number Of the audience, while
he was actually delivering his lecture
And marvellous Us it may seem, and in
direct opposition TO the resumption Of the
Neurologists, anu the Delivers in Mesmer's
theory, on concluding his lecture, four
persons were in a profound sleep. Each
OF whom were utter strangers TO the lectu-
rer; and it was abundanty testified by their
friends, that Mr. Sunderland had never
seen or spoken TO either of them, before
they were found in that mysterio sleep
And, what was still more remarkable, nei-
their of the Subjects would speak a word,
or seem TO hear any thing, from any other
erson but the lecturer. One lady was
put into a trance by the lecturer, and on
giving her some directions as to where she
should 60, she gradually raised her hand,
with most hevenly smile, and commenced
most interesting description Of what she
saw. She addressed the spirit Of de-
ceased brother, and broke on, in ruptures
Of praise to the Saviour. And though she
never sings when in the moral state, she
now sung in mos, heavenly strains, so
much SO that many were affected to tears.
And while all this was going on upon the
platform, one of the other subjects who
had gone TO sleep in the extreme part of
the hall, was observed 10 be describing
some Of the same things which the other
saw. A number of equally marvellous ex-
periments were made.-N Y. Sun.

that he might see all things, she whipt me!
VIVA, are they made of, and why don't
we see them in the day time! Do you
know?
These were some Of the many remarks
and questions with which my little tourch-
bearer amused me before we re-entered
the house, and which answered cheerfully
as well as | could. He was al; wonder
and delight, and in the excess of his graft
tude told me that he thought me much
kinder than his parents, for they would
never tell him what he wanted to know,
and would often punish him for asking
questions. Neither his father nor mother
could read or write, and though they en-
joyed every physical necessary, they were
without intellectual food and raiment, and
seemed likely to be all their lives.
was much impressed at the time with
the neglect by which The unusual intellect
OF their boy was oppressed and suffering;
and the recollection Of ii has often recur-
red to me. The mother was a kind wo-
man, and has she possessed we'll informed
and cultivated mind, what beneficent in
fuence she would have exerted over his.
If he ever should arrive at manhood though
he may be distinguished among his fellows,
the diamond will be as rough as its setting
is rude, the polish which only early in
tellectual culture can convey, will be want
ing. and its latent briliancy and beauty
obscnred by the almost impervious incrus-
tations Of ignorance and prejudice.
The inquisisi'iveness Of children should
be properly encouraged and directed, and
not met with trowns and neglect. This
consideration should be an incentive TO wo-
man to acquire knowledge, that she may
never be in the dilemma of my hostess OF
the pin"y woods-unabe to answer the
simple question Of her own child.

GEN. DEARBoRS.-In the New World of
the 10Th August, is the conclus:o on of sketch
of the life and services of this distinguished
revolutionary officer. In this sketch Gen.
Dearborn's opinion of Gen. Arnold is thus
given:
He often mentioned Gen. Arnold, whom
he well knew, being with him when wound
ed at Quebec and Saratoga. He consider
ed him, for energy and capacity the first ge-
neral officer of the revolution, aud often ex-
pressed his astonishment at his treason. He
despised him as traitor, but never failed to
speak of him as most able and gallant in &C
ton, always ready and collected, and saw in
SANITY the exact thing 10 be done, and at the
proper moment. He considered him capable
Of doing the most desperate deeds as a COM
mander. Meter Gates nor Congress, in his
opinion, did him justice for his conduct a,
Saratoga; for he was the only General on
the field, and fought the battle in defiance
of Gates, who never left his quarters, or at
least he was not seen in action. neither did
he believe he was.

HINTS ON MATRlMONY.-Ihe following
very sensible remarks we find among our
clippings. without credit attached, though
the author is we'll deserving Of credit for
having penned them. He takes matter.
of-fact. commonsense, view Of the subject,
and tells great deal oftruth in few words.
Listen to him: woman will be like
ly to dispute US, when we assert that MAJ
riage is her destiny. A man may possibly
fill up some sort of an existence without
loving; but woman with nothing to love
che rish, care for, and minister to, is an
anomaly in the universe an existence with
out an object. 1t is as natural for wo-
man TO have some one to cling to for ad-
vice and assistance as to breath. Without
it no woman ever was or ever can be hap
py. 1t is the want Of her nature, and moth
ing can satisfy her heart with such void un-
filled.
Now. with the exception Of some occa
sional irregularities in the relative proper
tons of the sexes, produced by circum-
stances. such as the settlement of new coun-
tries. there is no reason why every mar
should not have wife, and every woman
a husband; and this would be easily brought
about by the exersSe Of common sense,
and less ambition. Each sex is looking up
for some above its own sphere The son
Of an industrious and successful mechanic
must be a professional man or merchant,
instead of following in his fathers (ootslep
and this is folly the first.-When he looks
around for wife, the neat. industrious
daughter of mechanic like his father, is
not good enough for him; he must make
love TO some fine lady, who is one genera
lion in advance, that is. her grandfather
was mechanic, instead of her father, a
very ari>tocratic distinction. On the 9th
er hand, the girl who works 70. her living
earning it by her honest labors, would no,
design to encourage the address Of labor
ing man; she would set her cap for a gen.
tleman forsooth! The mechanics daugh-
ter, educated on her fathers hard earnings
TO be fine lady, encourages the attentions
Of a set Of tops and danglers, who drive
sensible and honest men away from her in
disgust. and she becomes the victim Of some
sharper or shallow fool.
Now this is all wrong, deplorably. wretch
ed wrong. Girls should know that men,
superior TO themselves in education and DO.
stion, do not always associate with@them
for any good Men should know that BY
marrying girls educated in habits Of life
above their fortunes, they are not likely &c
have good wives.
A little sound sense will enable any mar
to see that it is better to have wife CRATE
full for more than she expected, than grum
bling a; less. 1t is delightful going up the
hill of fortune, but horrible, jolting, aggra-
waiting work, to come down.
For man to say he cannot afford marry
is absolute nonsense, if he is not afraid tt
work. 1t takes less TO support two togth.
er than to support two separately. I'm
ion creates energy. Married men car
earn more money than single ones, and ex
pend less. For comparative happiness Of
married life, we appeal to the experience oil
those who have tried both and to the OBJ.
servation Of the unmarried.

The SEA SERPENT.-The following ex-
tract of letter from Captain Wales, Of the
bark Wave, Of this port, received by the
Acadia. IS copied from the books Of the
Merchants Exchange Reading Room

MALAGA, Sept. ..
lam now giving a few lines respecting
the long noted Sea Monster. which was
frs. discovered by myself, and afterwards
viewed by Mr.. Lincoln. both officers and
part Of the crew, who all had fine view
Of him for about hall hour. August 9Th.
Cape Cod bearing east by south 80 miles,
discovered huge sea monster crossing our
bow about half mile distant. to the north
west. When first discovered it, though,
it was the surf breaking over beach or
rock, but Immediately it rose in a perpen-
dlcuar position thirty or forty feet above
the surface of the water, remaining for
about ten seconds, and then following hor-
izontally, the body disappeared, leaving a
wake in the water, and rising again in the
same position. at nearly regular intervals,
for the space of half an hour, when il en-
tirely disappeared.
The form of the monster resembles that
of an eel, the largest part appearing next
the water. His head being somewhat small
Ter than his body. and from the position of
the body exposed, should Judge 1t to have
been from ninety to one hundred and twen-
ty feet in length, and the circumference,
that of hogsheao. 1t was about o. clock
in the euening. and we had so good and so
long view OF him, that there can be no
doubt existing relating to this serpent. !
do not write this for the sake Of filing up
a letter in newspaper, but as actual facts
and not by any means exaggerated.

RObberu of the STAGE -Seyeral srun

Robbery Of the Stage.-Several trunks
were cut from the stage, in the night, be-
tween Rockford and Freeport, last week,
containing considerable money aud valu-
able clothing. No trace Of them has been
discovered although the people turned on,
en- masse to look for them and searched
every house within FIVE miles Of the place
where i, is probable they were cpt. The
gathering was like that when the Driskells
were killed; and had the robbers been taken
there is no probability tha, their lives would
have been spared one hour. They do up
things rather summarily in the Rock River
country.-Chicago Democrat
