THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MES.

THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESEN
GER, is a monthly periodical, devoted to every
description Of Literature and the Fine Arts. 1t
has been established more than eleven years, du-
ring which time it has stood at the Head of Ameri-
can Periodicals. 1t is published in the neatest
style, and contains great variety of interesting
and instructive reading;-differng widely from q
majority of our Publication, in the soidity Of its
contents. Novels, Tales, Poems, Travels, Essays,
Critiques, Reviews, Historical and Biographical
Sketches, Papers on the Army, Navy, General
Politics and other National Interests adorn its pa
ges.
To the South and West it confidently appeals for
support Whilst it is distinctly the friend of the
South and West, it is not sectional, having al
ways circulated quite widely in the North and East
and having impaired Higher National Character
TO the Periodical Literature of the United States.
It's motto is I'm The Union for The Union! In The
South for the South" But the South and West
should especially cherish it, as it is the only Liter
airy Journal, of long and high standing, within all
their wide borders, and has indicated and promo
ted their rights and interests. During another
year, it will seek to extend its usefulness and
fame, and solicts the increased patronage of the
public; and also invoke the aid of its present pat
rons in extending its circulation.
It's contributors are numerous-em embracing pro-
fessional and Amateur writers of the first distinc-
ton. To the present efficient corps, new writer's
will be added, and neither trOuble expense will
be spared, to make the work eminently worthy of
patronage.
The TUclfh Volume of the Messenger, Number
CXXXlV, will commence on the LIST Of January
| 1916. Each number contains 81 Super Royal o.
tavo Pages. 1t makes during the year large and
elegant volume.

MlRABEAU's EULoGY ON FRANK.
I'm

The following are the terms in which the
Demosthenes Of the French Revolution
spoke OF our vencrated franklin:
On The morning after the intelligence Of
the death Of Franklin reached Paris, when
the Assembly was convened, Mirabeau rose
and spoke as follows:
"Frankln is dead! The genius that freed
America, and poured flood Of light over
Europe, has returned TO the bosom OF the
Divinity. The sage whom two worlds
claim as their own, the man for whom the
history Of sciences and the history Of en-
pires contend with each other, held, with
out doubt, high rank in the human race.
Too long have the political cabinets taken
formal note OF the death Of those who were
great, only in the funeral panegyrics. Too
long has the etiquette OF courts prescribed
hypocritical mourning. Nations should
wear mourning for their benefactors. The
representatives Of nations should commend
to theiI homage none but the heroes OF hui
manity. The Congress has ordered throgh.
out the United States a mourning for one
month for the death Of franklin; and at
this moment America is pay ing this tribute
of veneration and gratitude 10 one Of the
fathers Of her constitution. Antiquity
would have raised affairs 10 the mighty GEM
US who, TO the advantage of mankind
comprising in his mind the heavens and the
earth-was able 10 restrain alike thunder.
bolts and tyrants. Europe, enlightened
free, owes at least a token Of remembrance
and regret to one OF the greatest men who
has ever been engaged in philosophy and
liberty. Propose that it be decreed, that
the National Assembly, during three days,
shall wear mourning for Benjamin Frank

Union Academy.

vEtHE undersigned is permanently established
n as Teacher of Children and Youth, at Union
Academy, about three and a half miles west of
Fayette. He is graduate, and has had nearly five
years experience in teaching; more than three of
which, he has spent in the house which he now
occupies; always giving special attention to the
best means of developing and instructing the
youthful mind.
While this school is designed TO furnish
thorough Classical and Mathematical course of in
struction, constant effort will be made to impart
a minute and accurate knowledge of the elemen.
tory branches, such as Arithmetic, English, Latin
and Greek Grammars, and other studies prepara-
tory to liberal course-as experience has proved,
that while pursuing these, the Intellectual character
is mainly formed. Every pupil is required to
make thorough and rigid analysis of each book
as he proceeds; to state in his own words his view
of the subject in hand, that his misrepresentation
may be corrected, and thus to discipline and
strengthen his own mind.
II will be the constant aim of the Instructor to
prepare his pupils for the practical duties of life,
not OILY by teaching them to think for themselves
on all subjects, but by introducing frequent exer-
cses, drawn from the various business transact
| tons of the world.
Young gentlemen wishing to qualify themselves
| for teaching will receive instruction with special
reference to that object
The location of this Institution offers peculiar
advantages. Situated in a most healthy neigh
! borhood, removed from the corruptng influences Of
town, and village, and surrounded by highly re-
spectacle families, with whom board may be OBJ
tanned, this school must insure the moral, as
well as the intellectual advancement of its pupils
TERMS-For the elementary branches: Reading,
Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geo.
graphy, &C., per session, of five and hall
months, s. 0O
For the higher branches: including Latin,
Greek, French, the various branches Of
Mathematics, dc, &c. els 90
Boarding, including washing, fuel, and lights,
can be obtained at 81 25 to 81 so per week.
Two or three boarders would be received by the

THE OREGON TRADE.

The Cincinnati Chronicle says: "The
last intelligence informs us that there are
now two packets running between Oregon
city and Honolulu, one Of the Sandwich
islands. One Of these is an American
packet, and the other belongs TO the Hudson
Bay Company. This fact is the initial OF
one oil the greatest commercial revolutions
which the world has seen. Look at the
map. Fix your points at Liverpool, Bos-
ton, 81. Louis, Oregon city, and Canton.
Then calculate the freight and time required
by bale Of goods transported around Cape
Horn to Canton. Then take the same bale
OF goods by steam.car from Boston to Ore
gon city, and then by steam-packst from
Oregon to Canton! If the goods 60 from
Eng gland, by Cape Horn; it will save ten
thousand miles to take them across the
American continent. If they go from the
United States, there is a saving Of ftoo,thIds
the whole distance! That the trade Of the
! L. States will take that course, provided
the communication is by steam, no one can
doubt. tits vain to talk about the Pana-
ma route, if you can 60 by steam 10 Ore

MISSOURI MINERAL PRODUCTION
NEWARK, ONO. Der. Is. 1915.

lNeSSrS. Gales g. Seqton:--ln the Nation
al inteIgetlcer of the 18th instant, you
copy an article on the suhjuct Of Copper in
Missouri. have been engaged for the last
four years in investigating the minera!
wealth Of that State, and from my obser-
walton believe il to be one Of the most
important mineral regions on the globe.
It's ores are not only rich, but believe in
haustibe.-Extensive mines Of copper
ore are at this moment in process of de.
velopment.
am now engaged with a company ir
working a mine in Madison county, IS
miles from the Mississippi, the ores from
which yield, by the analysis Of Mr.. Chiffon,
of New York, 81 10 per cent, OF pure cop
per. Silver is combined with it, but the
per cent age has not been determined. Cab
oIt is also in combination. in some specimens
very rich. OF course the quality of the
ore varies in different parts Of the mine.
We have sunk a shaft about IS feet
deep, and find vein Of the black sulpuret,
the same as that analysed by Professor
Chiffon, some 10 feet deep, 3 feet wide on
the top and 7 feet at the bottom. Below
it lies the red and yellow sulphuret in large
crystals.
We hope, when our; facilities for mining
are complete, 10 be able TO raise ten tons of
ore a day which, at the price offered US by
| Revere Copper Company of Boston, will
average about Sl5O per ton. We have at
this time considerable ore in transttU TO
that city.
1t is strange that the mineral wealth Of
this country has been so long overlooked,
and that a country so abundant in its min
eral resources should not long ago have at
tracted more particular notice from the sci.
entific. All the American BIOLOGISTS focked
last summer TO Lake Superior, and the world
is full Of their extravagant reports whilst a
region more accessible, affording greater
facilities for mining, with ores equal, TO say
the least, in quality and quantity too; in a
fine climate, where the means OF subsistence
are abundant and iaborers on the ground;
whence the mineral products can be more
cheaply shipped to the market, and, what
is mole and better, where the discoverer
of the mine may become the owner in fact,
has been entirely overlooked. How is
this! Is il because Substance lends enchant-
ment to the view."
No Territory or State in the Union is
deserving Of more careful geological sur
vey than Missouri, and yet flom the inert
ness of her counsels she is probably the
last that will make one. Her minerals are
not only more abundant but more varied
, than those Of any equal territory on the
earth. In my cabinet have specimens Of
, her copper, iron, lead, zinc, tin, cobalt, sill
yer, nickel, temgsten.
| expect to visit that State in few
+ weeks and to devote part of the winter in
, exploring the country, and may have occa-
, sion to ask small portion OF the National
5 IntelIigencer TO make public the result OF
my labors.
f Yours, truly, ISRAEL OLLIE.
