SCIENTIFIC FoRGERIEs.-DIsrelll has colec- ted list and given history of literary forgeries- oi dates altered-of fictitious titles-books reprinted to leave out or inierpolate whole passages. Tomb stones of p ecocous antiquity were dug up and pre- scented to antiquran societies; and the mposters stood by to enjoy ihe joke and reap the rewards of the false relic. We cannot glye half of these cur impositions. But there is another species 0 1 forgery which in taking place before eyes every day It IS scientific cheating. Chemistry and eec- tricty painting and sculpture, all laid under con tributon to carry out the cheat. Wooden nutmeg N famous the world over; and many a verdant youth has bought brass watch for gold one. Good tea is made from soe lnaves sugar is made of -four. We doubt whether half the jewelry on lady's fingers is not made of brass or some baser metal Logwood makes many hogshead of brandy.
 The New York Commercial Advertiser hits of this subject in the following style.
 It would almost seem that nothing could set at de- iance the stimulating perfection ot modern science. True there is no power in human skill or knowledge 10 make a blade of grass common simple Il thing birds feather; but the bright and precious gems of the mine are counierfeed with astonishing preci ision; and not only couuerfeiled but actually produced-made-by chemical process. Mechanl- cal art has c0ntrived machines that eau walk, play musical instruments, write, and even talk, after the of the creature that was made in the i'm. age of the Almighty. We have artificial ice pine boards painted in such wonderful resemblance to ma hogany and the other variegated sds that no close ot inspection detect the cheat; German sl- yer and mosaic gold; sugar eggs and chocolate se gars; old French brandy, manufactured within the wine that never grew in Portugal or was pressed from grapes of any country. and Champagne which hung. not long ago, on the branches of New Jersey apple trees.

TUSCALOOSA, January 6, 1S45 have hut htlIe of interest to-day. The Senate has been occupied mainly upon the joint resolutions which propose to change the Constitution az tc have biennial sessions of the Legislature These resolutions have been amended so as 10 involve the removal of the seat of government. An effort wa; made to reconsider the vote of the amendment. The Senate after elaborate discussion decided agans the reconsideration by vote of r to Is, and the joint resolutions amended were ordered to a third reading IL is not probable that they can be passed in this form. There is too muth bus mess the ia ble-tIey cannot be reached in the House without Il suspension of the constitutional rule. Moreover the resolutions cannot he 6nally passed without vote of two-fhirds. So l very confidently predict their defeat.
 The house has been occupied principally upon bil' of Il local characler-many have passed, but none o sufficient interest To require special notice.
 It is doubtful whether the House will debate | ( subject of the revenue on the bl, or Mir. Phillips resolutions. The two great questions Revenue and Bank debtors blls-being despatched, the Legislature will adjourn. Saturday week is the earliest da, thought of in the House to adourn-although the Senate has passed resolution 10 adjourn on the 18th. The prevailing opinion is that the two Houses will adjourn on the 25th.
 MT. Bunting, member from Montgomery, is now very ill-tlought to be dangerous.
 Judge Gold,hwaite and Mir. Campbell have reach. ed the city, and the Supreme Court will begin it's session tomorrow. Speaking oflhe Supreme Cour, there is now proposition before the Legislature to reduce the fees of the Clerk of the Supreme Court 25 per cent, which will no doubt become d law. h seems that this officer escaped the pruning knife of lsI2, and the Legislature having been reminded oi this oversight, are bent upon clopping him down. So ben. Let all suffer alike, when the exgencies of the State and people demand il.
 Mir. McClung hss just made an argument against the Senale's adjournlng resolution. It is al this mos ment occupying the House of Reprssentati,e.-no doubt it will be laid on the table.
 State Bank-ths afternoon and tomorrow. This bill will be defeated The bill 10 incorporate the Mutual In 'urance Company of Mobile, was reported by the committee corporations and passed to s third reading
 The Senate has just sen, to the House resolutions nstructing the door-keepers of each House 10 make suitable preparations and arrangements to illuminate the Capitol on the night oi the sth January. Mr. Phillips, from the committee on federal rela lions, reported bill in reference to the election U. s. Senator, as contemplated in the bill offered some days ago by MT. McClung.

THE RIGHT VIEW-ONWARD.
UNION OF THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.

UNION OF THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.
We give, with high pleasure, the fol-
lowing extract from the New York Eve.
ming Gazette, paper conducted with sin
gular ability and skill, and edited we
judge from familiarity with its columns
by one who possesses that enlarged capa.
city which is capable Of grasping a great
Idea-the genius TO develope, the talent tc
apply, and that wide sympathy for the
good and advancemhnt Of his kind which
makes the true hearted and liberal mind
ed man ready at all times to be foremost
in aid Of schemes tending to this end
We honor such men, and involuntarily
esteem them, while on the other hand
though we entertain all necessary pity
for such as would throw ridicuIe upon the
efforts we refer to,-from whatever quar-
ter such ridicule may sneak forth, wheLh.
er from the quiet corner Of diIapidated
country village or the purieus Of pal.
try town, we would let the petty doubter,
the pigmy willing pass unnoticed, save
by such passing reference as we here Tor
the first and last time honor them with,
merely for the purpose Of contrasting
theirs with the conduct Of such men as
are worthy honor and esteem, whose
thoughts and ideas as expressed in their
Journals are truly TO the embodiment of
that public opinion which obtains respect
IN their several respective committees,
whose words are those Of soberness and
truth, and whose speculations are based
upon long business experience and daily
contact with the wealth and commerce
and opinions of the nation.
" The MOST Direct ROUTE TO CHINA
The lntelligencer, printed at Concordia,
Louisiana, contains. some suggestions in
connection with statistics, respecting an
union of the Mississippi River with the
Pacific Ocean. The roule appears to US
more feasible than any other that has
been proposed, and we shall not be sur.
prlsed it the plan is executed, and our
trade with China carried on by way of
Natchez and Mazatlan. 1t would not cost
tenth part Of the money we are likely
to be called upon to appropriate for a war
about Oregon, to say nothing Of the hu,
man lives. But Cabinets are not in the
habit Of troubling themselves on this
score; their accounts are Dr., or CIR. by dol
ars and glory.
The distance from Charleston to Match
ez is 700 miles, and a railroad is now
to Montgomery, Alabama,
which is about 800 miles from Natchez.
That road will soon be completed from
Montgomery to the Mississippi there is
little reason 10 doubt. From Na,chez, by

way Of the Rio Grande, to the mouth OF
the Gulf Of California, is 1910. The
route from Charleston TO the Pacific
would by this means be accomplished II
! in from sirty 10 serenity hours. Commnnca-
ton with our Oregon settlements or our
Pacific squadron now demands months o
toll and laborious exposure.
Boats Of large size are now carried
over our Pennsylvania railroads. We
shall not be surprised il in less than ten
years we see advertised steamboats, from
Pi.tsburg for the Sandwich Islands and
Canton, via Natchez and the California
Railroad. 1t would give US more pleasure
than to know we had beaten the British
armies in a hundred pitched baitIes."-
N. Y. Ere. Gazette.
With regard to the feasibility of the
scheme, the superior claims Of this GREAT
CENTRAL SOUTHERN ROUTE over and above
all others, the most sceptcal must agree
with us; there is not & the entire line a
section Of over forty miles that will not
pay most handsomely, and do more 10 de-
velope the resources of the interior por-
tons Of Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, than
any possible scheme OF Improvement that
can be devised.
Let any candid man run his eye over
the route designated he will observe that
the route intersects every stream of the
states mentioned at point where navi-
CATION is not to be relied on, and rarely
met with at all during the early portion
IF the cotton season; let him carefully
examine the statistics of the different re-
Jions and look to the vast additions oc-
curing daily in population and wealth
along the entire line, and he must see that
he times, the occasion, the country, de-
nand its earliest possible conSummation.
What is our position now in case of
var upon the Oregon question-as certain
IS fate we are driven from the Pacific.
What would be our position with the
Dad completed? why, within twenty days
We could pour down upon the coast of the
'acifc from the population of the Valley
tates a portion Of the surplus now and
yer ready TO fight, munitions,
torres and vessels could be sent forward
nd as if by magic, the eastern sea could
e covered with fleet that would com
etc with any power--while Oregon i'll
'orth defending might be, to the full ex-
mt protected.

SADNEss.-There is mysterious feel
ing that frequently passes like a cloud
over the spirits 1t comes upon the soul
IN the busy hustle Of life, to the social cir
Gle, in the calm and silent retreats of sol.
ltude. It's powers are alike supreme
over the weak and iron hearted. At one
time it is caused BY the fitting of SIN
gle thought across the mind. A sound
will come booming over the ocean of me-
mory, gloomy and solemn as the death
knell overshadowing, all the bright hopes
and sunny feelings Of the heart. Who
can desire 1t, and who has not felt its be-
wildering influence? Still it is delicious
sort of sorrow; and Ikea cloud dmminp
the sunshine on the river, although caus.
ing momentary gloom of shade, it en-,
hanceS the beauty of returning bright

CoNGREss,--The mail due yesterday
failed altogether from beyond Charleston
that due the day before came TO hand,
bringing US the proceedings Of the first
day OF the meeting Of Congress. At the
calling of the roll, there was a large
number Of members Of both houses in at
tendance-45 in the Senate and 2I2 in the
House.
In the Senate little else was done be-.
sides appointing joint committee to wait
on the President and inform him of the
Organization Of Congress. Mr.. Critten-
den gave notice that he would shortly in
troduce bills providing for the purcha Sc
OF the stock of the Louisville and Port.
land Canal, and for the improvement Of
the Mississippi river. The Senate then
adjourned.
Ia the House the first thing in order af.
ter roll call, was the election Of a Speak.
er. Upon the first trial, the Hon. John
W. Davis, democratic member from
Indiana, received 100 out Of Gil given
Mr.. Vinton, whig, received 72 votes; 10
were scattering. Mr.. Davis was conduct
ed to the chair, and returned thanks toI
the members for the honor of being cho
sen TO preside over their deliberations
He stated that in the discharge of his
duties che would endeavor to know mol
party but the country, and no locality but
the nation"
The Speaker then administered the
oath to every member present.
A Joint committee was appointed to
wait on the President. This done, on
motion to make the rules Of the last House
the rules Of the present House, debate
arose upon the "Hour Rule" and the ia
nous 2lst ruIe--that preventing the re-
cePtlon of abolition petitions-which was
put all end to by the adoption of motion
thatthe rules Of the last House be enfor-
ced until revised by committee appoint
ed TO report to the House what system off
rules shall be adopted
A resolution was then offered in rela-

pears that the quantity of flour, received
this year at tide water was 2,482, 527
bills; and OF wheat, l,6Q4,l12 bushels
Reducing the wheat into flour, at the

ceiPts Of 1914, Of 328,695 barrels. The
value of the receipts of the present year,
estimating the flour at S. SO her bbl,, is

ruE ENGLIsH mn OREGON.


The 81. Louis Reueille Of the Gath No
VEN er mentions a conversation held with
Mr.. Charles Saxon Of Oregon, who, with
IDr. White, sub-agent OF indian affairs
is on his way to Washington city, with q
memorial Of the settlers in the Harvest
Mr. Saxon states that the influence OF the
English, through The Hudson's Bay Com
pany, is very great, indeed supreme, and
that the Americans, in doubt as to the
course Of their own government, are par
alyzed in their operations, and are making
no great progress. Although treaty Of
oint occupation exists, yet the English
exclude Americans from settlement north
of the Columbia river, claiming all above
that stream as admitted British territory.
So great and overshadowing is the con.
troll exercised by the British government,
through its various agents in that remote
region, that whatever supplies are obtain
ed by Americans, and the partial favors
EXTENDED to them, reach them through
Birth permission. The policy Of a sep,
arate government is seriously urged, and
such appliances have been brought to
bear u to give the English, at this mo
ment, a majority in the territorial legisla-
ture. A discussion of our right even 10
the 49th degree is looked upon with mar
ked dispeasure, and limitations have
heen given that an open assertion of our
claim to that extent, by settIerg in Oregon,
would not pass unnotlced. Mr.. SaXton
was so given to understand himself
If these things be so, the condition of
our people who have opened the way to
Oregon, any thing but enviable. We
are told, also, by Mr.. Saxton Of other
proceedings in Oregon not at all credita-
BILE TO the parties concerned. In detail
ing them, We employ the language of the
Reveille:- ropic.
"Will it be believed, that American
captains, trading TO the mouth Of the
Columbia, actually refuse to carry for
their countrymen. Mr.. Saxton mentions
one firm, Gushing s. Johnson, of Newbu-
ryport Mass, whose vessels are forbidden
70 receive, as freight 10 the islands, the
flour Of American farmers. The settlers
are compelled to make all their purchases
of the English; and what does it portend,
when the sales of powder are limited to-
half a pound at a time?
Another thing which should be made
known is the fact, that the English in
Oregon are all eastern men: that the
line is I'M erstood, and al once drawn by
hem among the emigrants as they ar
rive, and that, in fact, the New England
ship owners are actually playing into the
hands Of our rivals!"
