A THING TO BE THOUGHT OF AT THIS


lime.
In Colton's "Lite and Times of HENRY
CLAY" in connection with Mr.. CLAY's func-
tons OF Secretary of State, are the following
remarks: r
at capsQA but be seen that the diplomatic
departmeok b-the Federal Government, in the
management of $ofeign relations, always holds
IN It's hands the questions of peace and war
more even than Congress. Though Congress
alone has the constitutional power TO declare
var, Secretary oil State may breed war, and
Force Congress inloit. Congress has no con-
troll over the subject except TO decide vi
ma,ely whether the nation shall or sIiau ntSt
fight. The foreign diplomacy of the Govern
ment is virtually the leading and controlling
power; and u the Ereeutirc is disposed TO ,rur.
his Secretary of State, in most controversies
that arise tcith foreign Poiccrs, can easiiu
manage them so az 70 force Congress into the
Pdssire necessity Of declaring it and propiding
foru.
"Not less potent and responsible is the State
department, in its diplomacy with foreign
Powers, in regulating and controlling the for
eign commerce of the country The vast in
terests, thereiore-questions of war, and the
foreign commerce of the whole peope-are
very much III the hands and at the disposal of
the Secretary OF State. Though Congress may
be jealous of the action Of this Department.
while they are sending for documents and cal
ling Tor information those great and momen-
tous questions may be so far decided that Con-
grcss can have no control, nor even a check.
There is vet more important view of the
powers OF the State Department. 1t is not on
ly capable of exercising an influence, as above
dercribcd, over pending questions, but it NAV
lay out work Tor the future, for good or for
evil, the extent and Importance of which, to
the great and vital interests of the country
cannot be estimated. While a sagacous and
iar-seeing statesman, at the head of this De-
partment uniting his diplomatic skill with
his Patriotism makes wealth and peace and
prosperity for the nation for generations to
come, an incompetent man in this place, or
vicious enc, who has neither the ability nor
the heart to do good-who had rather breed
war than preserve peace-who has no Just con-
ception OF the true interests Of the country, or
who is mere empiric in political economy
though the immediate effects of his incompe-
tency and viciousness may not be apparent.
ages may pass away before remedies can be
found for his mischief, or before that mischief
shall be fully developed"

a WONDERFUL OCCURRENCE.-On
Saturday morning, about z o'clock, the fly
wheel, weighing several tons, attached to the
steam engine at the extensive Rolling Mill, in
Penn street near Maiden, full description of
which establishment was given in our paper
about two mouths since, when il went into
operation, broke into number of pieces,
weighing from fifty TO one hundred pounds
Several OF these huge fragments were driven
with tremendous force, from the velocity of
speed which the wheel had attained through
the roof and thick walls of the building into
the ship yard of John X. Hammitt, adjoining.
One of the heavy missiles struck the lib boom
OF the new barque PACE, then ON the stocks,
and dislodged it from its place, Another
came IN contact, in It's descent, with the stern
OF the frame of a large ship, and splintered it
so much as TO render that part of the work en-
tirely useless. The most wonderful part of
the whole affair, was the escape from injury of
the workmen in the building, and large
number OF persons i'll the ship yard. Their
deliverance from the impending danger was
truly Providential.- $. Gazettc.

How TO KILL WEEDS. Vegetable physi'
Ologists know that the point Of junction be-
tween the roots and top of a plant sushins
very important relations to the life of IT.
II is called the neck--from The fact Of that
injury, inflicted there, is apt to be as atal
TO the plant as similar injury is 10 an ami
NAL. Hence in destroying, weeds, more
may be done in little time, by aiming to
cut them off at this vital point, than with
far greater exeItion expended in digging
them up. Let any one try the experiment
Of exterminaling weeds by the two methods
of setting bis hoe light, and skimming them
off just below the surface Of the ground;
and Of laboriously digging deep, so as to
cut them off far down the roots, and he will
come to a conclusion in the matter

LARGE CHEsTs.-H Horses that are round,
or" barrel-chested, are invariably more
muscular and enduring than those of the
opposite kind. Scientific sportsmen are, in
great measure, guided in their opinion Of
a horses racing qualifications by his girth
just behind his shoulders; BY this test, a
weIl-known jockey foretoId the reputation
and proves ofthe celebrated racer pleni
,Poten'iary," almost from the period Of his
birth. Cattle. dealers and butchers. in like
manner judge by the chest, and shoulders
OF COWS and pigs what amount of fat thew
are likely to gain in the process of feeding,
All animals that have large lungs are re,
markable for the vigor Of their appetite.
and for the facility with which they appro-
pirate their nutriment; such animals will
feed upon the coarsest hay and straw.
whilst their less fortunately constructed
companions are fatened by no kind of food
An amusing anecdote is related of a sim.

clared, that "the animals eating was a
mere nothing" The intelligence would
contrary 10 intention, have suficed 10 ruin
the prospect Of sale, but that The buyer
with a rare discrimination, inferred from
the horses chest that the capacity of his
appetite had been unwiItingly misstated. -

and had no reason to repent his judgement.
