people, merely to have a few estates in Louisiana
employ their negroes in producing inferior sugar,
instead of working at some other employment to
better advantage. Three years Of this tax amounts
to the whole cost of Louisiana paid to France. The

A LARGE PEARL.

! An orphan boy about twelve fourteen wears
of age, living in the neighborhood of Smithland,
at the mouth of the Cumberland river. obtains a
scanty means, necessary for his support, by fish
ing. He does not content himself with following
his vocation alone in the vicinity of his humble
abode, but often extends his excursions to the
Tennessee river.
Returning recently from one of these excur
sions, with his basket filled with the rewards of
his industry, the youthful angler offered them for
sale to one OF his customers. The latter selected
such as he wanted, and requested change for
the coin which he presented. The little fellow
fumbled for a while in his pocket and then drew
out handful of various articles-such as pieces
OF twine-rusty fish hooks-marbles Sc among
which appeared few dimes, and some thing thai
at once attracted the attention of the buyer He
took 1t and examined it, and was convinced that if
was large and valuable pearl He asked the

The gentleman asked him what he would taka

pleased. g No my little fellow,'' said the gentle
man, "you must not sch this pretty thing for
bit or two-it is worth great deal moro Tt;s
pearl, think, of some value | will take II with
me to Nashville, whence it shall be sent to tba
North and sold, and the proceeds shall be anplie6
to your education" The boy readily consented
and the gentleman, arriving in Nashville
submitted the pearl to the examination of M
Campbell, who at once pronounced it to be one 81
the handsomest and most valuable he had ever
seen. He will not venture to say what its exact
value may be, but judging, he says, from the size
OF that which is placed in the snuff box sent to Mr.
Van Buren,, when President, by the Imaum of
Muscat, we believe, and which was valued AT
$1,000, he is convinced that $500 would not he

With every prospect ofa war with Mexico, "and
lis consequences" it becomes the duty ofa good and
true Americans to look forward to the event Of a
war with old enemy, and to be prepared to strike,
not to 'fend off," at moments warning. To ena-
BILE us 10 do this with effect the subject cannot be
discussed too much, or too freely. | do not wish
to be considered advocate for war; but it may be
thrust upon us, and it is our duty to be prepared to
meet it.
You have correspondents who appear to have
taken upon themselves the Stake detences'' of our
country. While one party is in favor Of Pittsburg
as the important point TO prepare, another is equally
sangulne' that the Mississippi and ship-canat to
the lakes are all that IL necessary for the purpose.
They both speak "by suthoriiy''-one for the navy,
and the other for the army IL am not trenching
on forbidden ground, and invading the rights and
privileges of those charged with the subject" |

valuable paper--not arrogating to myself any ex-
elusive privileges, but willing to let my opinions
be fairly canvassed, and pass for their real worth
In the first place. Harry Bluff argues that with a
ship-canal from the Mississippi to Lake Michigan,
the story is told While he is engaged on this, he
is willing Cor must be) TO let John Bull get as many
vessels from the ocean, ria the Rideau and Weland
canals as he may think necessary; and when all are
ready, there is to be tremendous fight somewhere.
We are to come off victorious in the fight of course;
or we shall have had all labor in vain, and be
worse off than before we began. Your other cores
pondent is IN favor OF operating upon the lakes by

this is call in the wrong" il is beginning at the
wrong end; added to which, the idea of building
vessels on the Mississippi Ohio rivers, and trans
porting them to the lakes in any number Is not only
an uncertain, but an unnecessary waste of time and
money. We built good vessels "last war" on the
lakes, and can do so again; but don't want them.

COLONEL MEDILL.

It must be peculiarly gratifying to the democracy
of Fairfield county, to witness the high regard in
which their estimable friend and neighbor Colonel
Medi, is held by the Administrations and by the
most distinguished members Of the democratic party
throughout the country. His fine talents, sound
judgment, honorable bearing, and unwavering in
tegrity, have won him friends and admirers far be-
yond the boundaries of our county and State. His
worth is as fully known and appreciated in Wash
ington as in Ohio. The recent appointment of Col
Med as the chief ofthe Appointment Bureau of the
Post Office Department, is spoken ofin terms Of the
warmest commentator by the leading democratic
papers of Ohio. That Office is one of great respon-
sbility and trust II directly controls larger
Der of appointments than any other Office in the de
partments Il is therefore regarded, at Washington
as an office Of the first importance, which, to give
satisfaction to the people, and shield the government
| from unjust anlmadversion, requires an incumbent
possessing qualifications and talents rarely combined
| in one individual Colonel Medill was not an app
cant for that any other post; but the President
the Postmaster General, and the united voice o.
those associated with the administration, fixed or
Colonel Medill as the very man to discharge tht
delicate and laborious duties of that trust with hon
or to himself and credit to the government By
their urgent solicitation, he was prevailed upon ts
accept it. Honor like this, which follows well
4 doing, is the highest that be conferred upon AT
| American citizen.
/ The democracy of Fairfield county could no
| but be highly gratihed with Colonel Medill's ap
pointment but they cannot avoid regretting the los
i of his society, good COUNSEL and invaluable aid il
| our political struggles. Eke has been for years EN-
phatically our main stay. No man ever battle,
more vaantly for our glorious cause, and no man j
more beloved by his political friends. Whereve
| his abiding pace-whatever his destny-the democ
racy Of Fairfield will feel the most aectonate soci
/ tude for his welfare.
