How often are we reminded Of the frailty
Of human natuIel Every thing, even while
basking in the sunshine OfPrOsPerOus youth,
warns Us that we are fastening to the period
when the winged messenger" will sum-
mon us to that 'bOurn whence no traveller
returns"
The monitors Of silVery white, that gIis-
ten among the locks that were once the pride
Of youth, silently admOnish US that we are
travelling on TO the fatal conclusion Of our
brief journey, and the friends We daily
meet, greet each other with "why you are
growing gray" This sounds upon the ear
like the distant tOlling Of death knell; and
to an old bachelor, who fears that he may
die without leaving link to connect him
with this world, it is like sealing the war
rant Of his unhappy doom. To all sch we
would say get married, and let not your
"gray hairs come down with sorrow TO the
grave" 'unwept, unhOnOred and unsung."

CANAL OF PANAMA. canal across the
Isthmus which connects North and South
America, has always been looked upon as
a thing Of great importance. Puerile efforts
to cut Canal have long been made from
time TO time by individuals or companies,
but nothing has been done, and probably
nothing will be done until it is made a na~
tional business. 1t seems to US that the
great nations particularly interested in the
matter, should at once unite in the enter
PRISE, cut the Canal, and declare il under
the same laws which regulate the open
ocean; and even more than that, making it
neutral water under all circumstances
America, England. France and Russia could
accomplish the undertaking at small cost,
and we should expect would all readily
unite for the purpose, if it were but pros
posed. No government could more proper
ly lead in the enterprise than our own. Why
should itnot be brought before Congress at
the approaching session. AS to the eonsti
tutional power of Congress to appropriate
money for the puFpOse,-if nothing better
can be found, let it 60 under the power to
"regulate trade" to ''cOin money!" or ''to
do whatever may be necessary" for the es>
adjustment Of ''post Offices and post roads,.
1t is, at any rate, proper matter for the
great nations to agree about, fixing some
plan by which it may be accomplished.

The Galveston News contains a letter
from Corpus Christi, dated October 22d,
which confirms the report published some
weeks since of the descent of about FIVE
hundred Camanche Indians, headed by the
noted chief Santa Anna, upon a rancho
near Guerrero, called'"L La PabrialtO," which
they completely destroyed, killing over sixty
persons.
The letter adds the following particulars:
The Indians were afterwards attacked by
the troops Of Mier and Guerrero, but they
defeated the troops, killing about forty and
taking one piece Of artillery, which they
threw into the Rio Salado. They then con.
iinued into the interior, killing and taking
prisoners until they reached China, $50
miles from the Rio Grande, there destroying
the Rancho Ramiras. They were attacked
by 600 troops, who defeated the Indians and
took from them near 200 prisoners which
they had taken. The loss on the side OF
the Indians is about 80, among whom is
said TO be their chief, Santa Anna. The
Mexicans were still in pursuit six days ago.

COTTON.-In our review Of Wednesday morn
ing last, stated that the effect of the foreion
news received on the day previous had been to
bring the Cotton market momentarily to a stand.
and that scarcely any business had been transact
ed on that day. Since then the operations have
been on moderate scale, but the market has
lacked animation, and there is apparently great
desire to sell, whilst buyers are not eager to one
rate, so that prices may be said to lean in favor of
the latter without having undergone, however,
any positive change. The transactions on We'd
nesday amounted to about 5000 bales, and those
OF Thursday were reported at 1900, of which the
greater portion was for shipment to Great Britain
Yesterday there was limited enquiry and the
business reached $500 hales, making fetal for
the past three days of 1900, and fer the week Of
$4,000 bales. We retain our former Quotations.
