the Duke of Wellington wore in his pre-.

MISSISSIPPI JUsTICE.--We invite the at.
tenton of our brethren of the press, men,
bers Of the bar, and officers, to the fact,
that there is, at present, no compen-
dunn or manual under the laws of this
State, for the use OF the Justices of the
Peace. The want of work Of this kind
is constantly experienced, not only by
magistrates and other officers, but by a
large portion Of the business men Of the
country. In order to supply this deflicien-
CIV, we propose, if sufficient encourage.
ment should be offered, to publish in n
cheap but substantial form, upon good pa
per and type, a manual or guide for ma
gistrates, comprising all the statutes now
in force, in relation 10 the powers and du-
ties Of Justices Of the Peace, coroners,
constabes &C., with references to the de-
cisions of the high court Of errors and ap-
peals upon such statues--with a full and
complete collection Of forms for 1I the or
binary business of such officers Of militia.
A work Of this kind would, we think, IL
properly prepared, greatly promote the
convenience Of officers and men Of busi-
ness, and not only tend to introduce uni.
tormily 10 all proceedings ia the ordinary
business Of every day life, but enable ma.
as to do for themselves, without trouble
or expense, what 10 would cost many Doll.

only 10 the whole democratic party, but il
is conceded that large portion of the
whirs, also, have announced their appro.
baton of the measure. As we predicted,
nine months ago, there is scarcely pgb-
lie man left who opposed il. 1t has swept
away nearly all who resisted it. Mr..
Wright is almost q solitary example Of
success against its inauence-though his
objections were conditional and qualified;
and his great talents, integrity Of princi-
pie, and popular character, were prepon-
deraling with those who knew him and
loved him. But Mr.. Clay himself, after
flourishing through various changes OF
opinion, from opposition to personal APP
probation, then back to uncompromising
opposition again, was, with even large
portion of the wings in its favor, finally
born down and crushed by it. With all
these facts and results forcing themselves
upon the mind, how is it possible for the
Intellgencer to say " that the country has
not intended what, in effect, it had de-
clafed 2" How can it assert that such
decision is for the "spoliaion of neigh.
boring republics revolted territories 2"
How dare it affirm that the majority for
the immediate annexation candidate has
been obtained by delusion and fraud 2"
The people have honestly and emphati-
cally pronounced their appreciation of
great measure, which was submitted 10
their decision by all parties. Their judg-
ment is final. There is no appeal. They
decided upon it with a view to all its at
tending circumstances, and to all its pro-
bable consequences Texas is not "re-
VOTED territory" it is an independent re-
public-as much so as Mexico itself No
wrong is meant or intended to Mexico.
Annexation can afford no cause for com.
plaint-no just ground for war. Neither
the "voice from Mexico" nor the voice Of
the Intelligencer, will prevent the steady
prosecution of the measure of annexation
TO a final contamination. 1t is the dupe of
its own bad counsels. 1t has most efiec.
tually misled and deceived its friends--it
seems now determined to end by deceiy-
ing ITSELF Young Hickory.

The New TERRIToRY OF NEBRAsKA.--
The secretary of war has recommended
the organization of new territorial 60
vernment TO be called Nebraska, extend.
ing TO the base Of the Rocky Mountains,
Mr. Douglas of Illinois gave notice Of the
introduction of q bill carrying out the sug.
gestion Of the Secretary, from whose re.
port we make the following extract, de-
scriptiyo of that region which is soon to
form one Of the United States of America,
The immediate yelleys OF the head
streams of the Arkansas, the Platte, and
the Yellow Stone rivers, have much rich
and valuable land. The Platte or Ne
braska, being the centre stream leading
into, or from the great South Pass, would
properly furnish a name to the territory,
which propose suggesting to be erected
into a territorial government in connec-
ton with and preliminary to, the extension
in that direction Of our military posts |
would conline the Nebraska territory 10
our undisputed possessions on this side OF
the Rocky Mountains. It's boundary line
would commence at the mouth Of the Kan
sas, and run up the Missouri river to the
Runningwater river, and would pursue
that stream to the head Of its northern
branch and thence due west to the Wind
river chain. From this point running
southwark, the line would continue along
the Wind river range, and the main chain
of the Mountains, TO the head Of the Ar
kansas, following that stream to the mouth
of the Pawnee Fork, would pass by the
heads of the Neosha aud Usage rivers,
again to the mouth of the Kansas.
The eastern section of the region en-
braced by these boundaries from the Mis-
souri, river westward for two hundred and
fifty miles, is of great agricultural beauty
and facilities, thickly timbered on the nu-
merous tributaries Of the Kansas, Usage,
and Noosha rivers, and in fertility equal
10 the best lands in Missouri. From the
limit Of this fertile portion westward for
the space Of four hundred miles, the coun-
try is entirely covered with rich grasses,
which improve in quantity and quality up
to the snow Of the mountains.
The limits of this territory include the
extreme head of navigation of the Ar.
kansas, all the good lines Of communica-
tion with California, The road from our
frontier to the Mexican boundary and San
ia Fa, and also an excellent and more di-
rect pass to Oregon, discovered by recent
exploration; about one hundred and fifty
miles southwark of the great south pass"

THE ATMOSPHERIC. The atmosphere
certainly is a wonderful substance; one OF
the most extraordinary with which we are
acquainted; generally deemed invisible, it
yet forms the most beautiful and magnif,
cent colorod object we know, tdg blue sky,
So thin and aucnualod as to give rise to
the proverb, "ljght as air." it yet eXorts
an enormous pressure on the various boz
dies on the surface, being, in its entire
mas, n heavy a# a globe Of lend sixty
miles 10 dama.cg; and when in rapid
motion, possessing a force at momentum
which is irresistible. Although We see
nothing around US, yet the air is every
where present, and is the most universally
dilTused substance in nature. ltpenetrates
into every recess, however narrow the en-.
try; occupies every space in or about the
earth that is not occupied by something
else; insinuates itself into and fills up the
cavities which exist more or less in all
solid bodies, animate Or inanimate; and,
whenever any substance is removed, rush
es in on all sides, and occupies the space
thus left vacant. This apparent nothing
contains several different substances, all
constantly and actively engaged in impor-
tant operations at the surface of the earth,
adapting it for the abode of living beings,
plants, and animals. Aud so necessary
is it to the existence Of the latter, that
mankind use it abol; twenty-five thousand
times every day, and cannot exist without
it above one or two minutes. This sub
tie agent is the Medium of heat, light and
sound. 1t is by an ingredient Of the at
mosphere that We procure artificial light
and heat, without the means of producing
which, mankind could never have emerged
from the savage state. BY its powers Of
rejecting light and dispensing it in all di-
rectons, it enables US to perceive objects
though they are not Illuminated by the d.
rect light of tho sun. The atmosphere is
the medium by which The heat of the sun,
which falls 50 unequally on different parts
Of the eorlh's suelace, is didused over the
different regions, moderated in the burn
ing zones at the equator, and conveyed
north and south 70 eniyen the desoIale
countries araund the poles. BY ia impe-
hs when in motion, it propels ships along
their liquid paths, thus giving rise to com.
merco and intercourse between nations.
By its property Of conveying sound, the
