We understand that upwards OF
forty young men, from no less than
nineteen States, have made arrange
ments TO accompany Mr.. Whitney's
party this summer, TO examine Il
portion OF the route proposed for the
great Oregon railroad. Mr.. Whit
ney will not allow anyt 10 take part
in the expedition, of whom he can
have any reason to apprchend that
they might not prove agreeable or
desirable companions. There are
no limits to the number who may go;
the more the merrier. Mr.. Whit
ney will leave New York on the ID
of June and proceed Immediately to
Milwaukee, the place Of rendezvous,
stopping Il day at Buffalo, and ano-
Their at Detroit. He expects to
start from Milwaukee from the 18th

will be between three and four
months, and he computes that the

not exceed Sl3O-traveling expen-

NAPOLEON IN TEARS.

We find the following anscdote of
the great Napolean, in n OF our ex,
changes:
"He was riding late one dGy over
a battlefield, gazing stern and un,
moved on the dying and the dead that
strewed the ground by thousands
about him, when suddenly "those e.
vening bells struck up a merry peal.
The emperor pulsed to listen, his
heart soitened, memory was busy
with the past; he was no longer the
conqueror of Ausierlilz, but the in
nocent, happy school boy at Brientz;
and d~ismounting from his horse, he
seated himself on the stump of an
old tree, and TO the astonishment of
Rapp, who relates the circumstance,
burst into tears.

G-Some of the British periodicals
write so insolently against the Uni

the anti Texas wings in this country.
A few more manifestations of En-

Magazine, maintaining that war be-
tween the two countries "cuInot

sentences, amongst others OF a SINH

STATE LOAN AND THE PAL
RA BRANCH.

we Stated IN a previous number of
the Herald, that the Governor, after
failing at other places. had applied to
the branch Bank at Palmyra for a
loan IN pursuance of the act Of the
Legislature TO meet the interest due
on State bonds. Since then we un-
derstand that the branci. Bank at
Palmyra has discounted a bond for
fifteen thousand dollars, which after
deductlng nine hundred dolIars-one
years interest at six per cent-Ieft
Tor the use of the State, fourteen
thousand n hundred dollars. With
this the State was able TO paw of all
the interest due on the 10th and 3Oth
OF May, and LIST of June, being all
the interest due till November and
Dec. next. The Palmyra Branch.
though limited in her means Just at
the time of making the application
to her. would have loaned even more
than fifteen Thousand dollars, had il
been necessary at that time to do so,
TO save the credit Of the State. We
understand that some objection was
made TO the loan by the directors on
the part of the private stock holders,
on the ground that the interest on the
bonds offered by the State was not
paid quarterly; but the majority of
the directors properly appreciated
this matter and voted for the loan,
knowing that it was better for the
Bank to receive 5000, a whole years
interest in advance. than 10 receive
but 1925, or one quarters interest
only in advance. Interest at 6 per
cent. paid one year advance, is near
ly equal to SIX and one half per cent
paid quarterly SO hat the loan TO
the State is not only perfectly Sc
cure, but is also nearly as profitable
TO the Banks, as loans to individuals,
admitting that all Of these were per-
tecty secure, an admission. however.
which, in reference to bank loans TO
individuals, is always unlounded.

LAW OF LIBEL.

The doctrine of 4 publication be-
ing libellous, though true, is well set
tied in an Indictment or criminal pro-
ceeding. To constitute the truth q
complete defence or Justification in
such a case, will depend on the mo-
lives with which it was published
If done for good motives and justiiia-
bic ends, then it is Il complete TO de-
fence. But il the weapon OF truth is
wantonly used for the purpose of ex-
posing personal defects, disturbing
the peace OF families, and holding up
individuals to public contempt and
ridicule, then the publication is IL
belIous, though the matter confined
it in be true.

of the libel is a complete Justification;

Mornl Reform Mt Albany.

Senator Lott has, most Unexpectedly to as, re-
ported favorably on the Assemby's bill 10 punish
Seduction, Adultery and Brohe-keeping, bat with
amendments As these amendments have not yet
reached u.s. we may hope that they are no, destruc-
tive 10 the character and objects of the bill, but
calculated to render it more Just and effective. In
this case, we trus. they will be adopted in the Sc
nate and promptly concurred 10 by the Assembly,
The time is now short, and this righteous measure
will be smothered If adrot management can do it.
On behalf Of many thousands OF his constituents,
we ask Mr. Lott to move this bill ahead every fair
opportunity until it shall have been definitvely act
ed on by the Senate. Should he not think proper
10 do this, we hope some other Senator will.
The New Excise Bill, we leran, was only killed
in Committee OF the Whole, where the Yeas and
Nays are not taken. We have faint hope of a
better result in the Senate proper, when all the
amendments made in Committee come up for re-
view. The bill cannot be made better than the
Assembly left it, and whoever opposes ii in thai
form must do it from hostility to lis object. Tha
bill, or one substantially like it, may be defeated
this Session, but it will at no distant day be the law
of the State. Nodevice can prevent it.
