INDIVID ALI T Y.

Whether Phrenologists are right or not, as to
the precise location Of this important organ of the
human brain, none will deny that there should be
such trait of character in every man, organ or nc
organ-something which evnces manhood-some
thing which shows him to be man, independents
Iy of sects, parties, ciques. or societies.
II has of late, become quite too common,
throughout the professedy civilised world to form
societies or associations for the accomplishment
of plans for the ameoraton of the condition OF
mankind, and the promotion of morality, as well
as for advancing the schemes of avarice and am
biton.
CHARITY, 'sthe greatest" and most ennobling
OF the virtues-charity in thought in word, and in
deed. so strongly inculcated in Holy Writ, needs
il itwould seem, much nursing to keep it warm; and
associations, whose object professedly, is to excite
brotherly kindness and sympathy, are daily being
formed in our midst
In this condition of mems hearts and minds, we
find no fault, Of course, with such societies and
institutions; for they do, in many instances, what
ought to be done without their aid; they make it
obligatory upon their members to aid and succor
bruthsr in distress; but still, they are necessarily
partial and clanuish.
We need and should have larger, more ex-
pansiye brotherhood--a brotherhood embracing,
in IFS sympaties, the whole human famiIy-a BROTH
erhood which does not stop to inquire whether
suffering brother man belongs to our denomination
or association. We need and should strive to in
euicate in every mind and heart, firmness Of pur-
pose IN the discharge of duty-a benevolence of
feeling towards all Of that family, without distinc-
ton. which shall make--whatit was obviously de-
signed we should be--brethren indeed, of one fam
lily. partaking Of the same common humanity, and
probation9sfor common, glorious destiny.
We have had, for eighteen centuries. the sub
lime doctrines ofchristanity before us, for our in
struction and guidance; doctrines which apply to,
and aim at the correction Of evil in every form; yet

TROPICAL BEAUTIES.

An officer of our army now in Texas, humor-
ously describes, as follows, some of the beauties Of
that country: In clearing the ground to pitch
my tent, killed a waer-moccasin; about three
O'Clock in the morning, I was awakened by the
barking OF dog-he had ust run rattlesnake out
of my neghbors tent, when the rattling and bark
ing aroused me-nine rattles captured. again
laid down. and when day broke. yellow-necked
lizard was cooking his eye cunnngly from the
ridge-pole of my tent Tsprang up, seized my
boot to despatch him, when, 10! out of my boot
dropped tarantula! Exhausted from fright and
fatigue, sank back into chair, but sooner sat
down than was compelled rapidly to change my
position, having been stung in the rear by a scor
pion." This reminds US of Sidney Smiths conf
cal description Of certain blessings peculiar to tro
pica countries. and which occurs in his review of
Wsterton's " Wsnderingsin South America. In
sects, says the witty divine, are the curse of tro-
pical climates The bette rogue lays the founda-
ton of tremendous ulcer. In moment you are
covered with ticks Chigoes bury themselves in
your flesh, and hatch colony Of young chigoes in
few hours. They will not live together, but ev.
cry chigoe sets up separate ulcer, and has his
own private portion Of pus Flies get entry into
your mouth, into your eyes, into your nose; you
eat flies, drink flies. and breathe flies. Lizards,
cockroaches and snakes, get into the bed; ants eat
up the books; scorpions sting you on the foot Ev
cry thing bites, stpgs, or bruises; every second of
your existence you are wounded by some piece of
animal life that nobody has ever seen before, ex-
cept Swammerdam and Merriam An insect with
eleven legs is swimming in your teacup, monde
script with nine legs is struggling in the small
beer. or a caterpillar with several dozen eyes in his

chronological hosts to eat you up, as you are STAN

Hon JOHN C. calhoun Various rumors
have gone abroad as to the probabilities ofhs dis
tnguished statesman again taking a seat in the
United States Senate. Every where, and from all
parties, we hear an expression of qualification at
the prospect Of his great mind being again brought
into requistion il our national councils. We
know that the information will be received with
general appreciation that he is to return to the
Senatorial station during the ensuing Session Of
Congress, Judge HUGER, the present Senator
from this State, having finally determined to carry
out his long-desiled ed wish of retiring from office,
held, for some time past only at the special desire
of his constituents We have this information

New County Buildings.

Tho Commissioners of this county have pub
lished an advertisement soliciting proposals for
building now Offices for tho Auditor and Trea-
of the county. Rcmonstrances aro in cir
culation, soliciting the commissioners to postpone
tho creation of tho proposed building at present.
This is tho right of the people to mako known to
their servants their wishes, and the Commission
ers will doubtless be glad to act in accordance
with the expressed will of tho people. There is
a large surplus now in the Treasury of this coun-
ty, and has been raised with view of erecting
suitable buildings for tho officers of the coun-
ty. The Treasurer is now nconvenicnty situa-
ted, and the safety of the Funds of tho county is
in constant jeopardy. The records of tho Audi
or's office unsafe, and tho public interests require
tina, buildings should be erected, and it is as we'll
that tho money should DO expended as to remain
in tho hands of tho Treasurer. Those most ac-
tive in getting up the remonstranco referred to,
wish tho work postponed with the hope tho coun-
ty seat will be rcmoved-not that the buildings
are not needed.
