MESSAGE OF TIE GOVERNOR OF 5. CARROLL
Ma. We learn from the message Of the CO.
vernon Of this state, that its finances are in a
good condition, aud sufficient to meet all ordi-
nary expenses. The public debt amounts to
So, 224,5O2 81 cents. The interest of this debt
has been punctually paid, a necessary conse-
quence of which is that the public credit of the
State stands, both in Europe and America, on
the highest ground.
The Governor, of course, is against the Ia
riff, and relies on MIR. Folks administration
for its repeal. The protest of Massachusetts
in relation TO MIR. Hears mission is noticed at
considerable length, and quite dispassionately.
The annexation Of Texas is also mentioned in
high terms. ...
PoRr DEposlr. We visited this village one
day last week, says the editor Of the EIkton
Wing, and found the appearance Of business
brisk. Teams were hurrying in from The sur

TIE CHINESE.

As our political and commercial Relationship
China are becoming interesting to statesmen,
The public have a natural curiosity to know
something more about the appearance, dress
and manners of the Chinese than can be gath
cred from the tea cups, aud saucers, and rice

Here are a few extracts:

and such Mandarins to whom the Emperor

"The distinction Of Mandarins of the highest

Mr.. Bell. the travelle ~ were dressed very plain

few only had large rubies, %saphires, and emer-
aids. These precious stones are cut into the

to fix them on the top Of their bonnets."

TIE ELEPHANr.--It is related of this we'll
known animal, that Messrs' Raymond q Co.
some time ago sent a small Menagerie travelling
South. AT Mobile they intended TO stay sever
al weeks, and as the exhibition was held under
a canvass, it was necessary TO find some secure
place for the Elephant.
The animal was notorious Tor his dexterlty IN
getting loose, and the Sheriff kindly offered the
Jail yard, which was surrounded by a high an d
strong stone wall. For a time the prisoner ap-
peard very Indifferent about his confinement;
but one morning, probably thinking the deten'
sion illegal, he resolved not to wait awrit oil ha-
beas corpus, but putting his head against the
wall. pushed a section of it down, and started
on a tour of discovery around the city. This
was before day light, and scarcely any one was
moving. An Industrious French Baker howev-
err, had put his bread smoking hot into his wag-
on in the alley, ready 10 start at the break oil
day. The elephant happened to come into his
vicinity, and was not long in ascertalng where
breakfast could be had. So, throwing down
the gate, he soon made his way to the wagon
and the loaves began TO disappear with marvel
lous rapidly. The astonished Frenchman wise
Iy abandoned all de fence of his property, and
started in the greatest hurry for the keeper who
lodged near the canvass. "Quick! Vite! Mon
sieur; vitel votre elephant come and break my
gate-he lift my cart more as tree menscant; he
make so much shake, de bread all fly, and he
eat him all up" The keeper went to the spot,
and forced his mightinesS very reluctantly to
leave his meal unfinished.

The shadows of the Past! Oh, dim and pale
They linger in the paths where joy has been ::
And memory lifts at times oblivion's veil,
And lights the vista with her magic sheen,
Till stricken hearts go mad, and call In vain

So gentle eyed, so meekly sorrowful,
Extending toward US the familiar hand;
Oh, we would bribe heavens mercy to restore
Those blessed angels to our arms once more!
The shadows of the Past! Oh. said they seem
With withered rose buds braided in their hair
And broken tablets of the hearts young dream
Oh, precious were the hUpes Observed there

Looks back and weeps, and wanders sadly on

THE NEW TERRITORY OF NEBRASKA

The Secretary of War proposes to estabiis n a
new Territory, at the Eaetern slope OF the Roc.
ky Mountains, On the head waters of the Platte
and the Arkansas, to be called the territory Of
Nebraska. We believe this is the Indian name
of the Platte river. This Territory would be on
our own acknowledged soil, and would com.
mand the grand pass between the Atlantic and
Pacific Ocean. Near this point rise the lofty
Peaks of the Northern Andes, around whose
brows circle perpetual SHOWS. On either side
roll down the waters which mingle the Gull oil
Mexico on this side-with the Gulf OF GalIfor-
MIA on the Southwest, and with the broad Pa
ci6c, as it washes the Western coast of Amer
lea.
The advantages of this position, in a military
or colonial point of view are immense. 1t would
make the Journey of the emigrants west, COM
paratiVeIy easy. They would both have defence
and rest. In case of interference from foreign
powers, the troops of the nation would be ready
to descend either on the South, or on the IA
cifc outlets of Oregon, or move on the BRITISH
territories of the North. 1t is the great centra
position OF the N orth American Continent. mar
ked out by the God of nature as remarkable, by
the magniicence of its moutains, its streams,
and its extent! Whoever possesses and bring
up future gener atoms on this high central plat
eau will be unconquerable in position and en-
ergy. -.
The Secretary also recommends a chain of mill
tary posts Oh our own Territory, extending iron
Missouri to the Rocky Mountains. Agains
this no natiou can say a word. 1t is our owl
soil, and we must possess it.-New York III

for a pardon for the father. A petition was
got up for the purpose, and was speedily

which, though short, could not fail to move
the heart of a man-and the pardon soon
came.

NEVER GROW oLD.-The best men, saysa pro-
found writer, are those who preserve the boy
in them as long as they live. Age should not
destroy the child. The child is the orr and
man is merely a superstruc,ure upon the boy
1t is an unfortunate sign for a mans happiness,
when he has forgotten his boyish feelings, And
yet, how rarely " find it otherwise? Parents. in
exercising authority ever their children, forget
that they ever were young. They expect those
whose hearts Ihrob with the warmth and disin-
terestedness Of youth, 10 think aud act with the
same cold, calculating, aud selfish feelings which

are the result of experience, they say! Verify.
