Barbarous- Cutting Hair. There is
nothing which more closely involves the
effect of ones personal appearance than
the arrangement ofthe hair If it be bad
Iy disposed, the whole man seems to as
sumo the same character: being rufianIy
in his aspect, negligent, splritIess or de-
jected in his outward seeming, as if to
harmonlze with chcvelwc. And what is a
more eifectual disguise than to be more
closely shorn than is our wont? How
strangely che looks after cropping ofthe
remorseIcss sort! All the poctr of cx-
preston evaporates with ii; and escaped
from the barber, dignity, beauty, and I'm
pressiveness seem to have taken their last
adieu. Sampson was not the only indi-
vidual who lost his force by losing his hair
There are many now, who if they were
reate d as he was treated, would sink from
heroism into the interest commonplace
No wonder, then, that people are exceed
ingIy cautious, when they submit them
selves to the tonsoral operation. But even
the most explicit direction wilIsnot always
save them from suffering as shown below.

his flowing locks, as he sat himfef down

the gentleman: and the barber literally full

the customer wanted his head cleared Of

STEAMDoAT COLLDlON.-A correspondent, Gu
passenger on the bOat) furnishes the following
particulars Of the loss OF the John O'Fallon.--
IN. o, Bulletin, Jan. 18th.
On the night Ofthe 9Th instant, between twelve
aud one O'Clock, the steamboat "JOhn O'Falon,'
descending the MiSsiSSppi, about hundred miles
above VieksbuTg, came in contact with the
steamer "EmpresS," bound up; and the former
was 80 much injured by the collision that she
sunk (aft) in 6iteon feet water. There were
large number Of passengers on gOurd, both cabin
and 'teerage. Among the latter, (whO are
lodged below the cabin, in the engine roOm,)
we're Mr.. White, with his wife and eight chill
drsn, and Mr.. Smith, with his wife and child,
all'Of whom we're asleep at the time Of the aoci-
dent, and were awOke BY being plunged into the
water, as the boat went down. Their cries for
help we're distinctly heard in all parts of the
boat, and two gentlemen in the cabin had the
mNgnanimity and intrepidity to descend TO their
rescue, while the residue OF the passengers, and
many Of the crew sought the hurricane deck for
their own safety. These gentlemen we're Capt.
J. COWDIN and Maj. CLELLAND, both of New
York. Their efforts are the more praiseworthy,
inasmuCh as, by means Of them they lost their
baggage, which went down with the boat. Our
correspondent addS, that the "O'FaIlon" was the
9Th boat which had been lost in the Mississippi
within ten days.

SELLING OUT.-SOme years ago the Legislature
Of Georgia, under the influence of the railroad
mania, determined to have railroad TO run
through mountains and OveI cataracts and vale
loyS, from the Tennessee river TO the Atlantic
ocean. An immense sum Of money has been
spent on this work, and the State is unable to
6nish it; costly bridges are going to decay, en-
bankments washing Of, and excavations filling
up-UnGer these circumstances, the Governor
Offers for sale all the interest of the State in this
1.grande speculashOn"--no bid under one million
of dollars listened TO. The respectable common
wealth Of Georgia has evidently "gOt into bad
scrape"-[ Mississippi Democrat.

ANNEXATIoN.-We think the course taken in
the House of Representatives, yesterday, on the
question Of the Annexation OF Texas, TO have
been very unfortunate, immediate action on the
subject being extremely desirable. evil not
believe, however, that the vote by which the
confederation Of the reports was postponed to
Monday, indicates the sentiment of the House
on the merits Of the proposition. On the contra
~, we are not without hope that resolutions will
DO adopted in both branchts. with great degree
Of unanimity, favorable to the prompt accom-
plishment Of the measure. That large majOri-
t. Of the people Of the State are anxious for the
success Of the project we have no doubt, and we
cannot imagine any valid or weighty reason why
the legislature should hesitate to embody the
public sentiment in such shape as to give it adj
ditiouaI authority with our Senators in Congress.
Accounts from Washington agree in representing
the measure as likely to fail for lack cftte vOtes
Of the Senators from Louisiana. Now there can
be little boubt that one or both Of our Senators
would view an expression of opinion by the Leg
islature in the light Ofinstructions; so that it is
not by any means Improbable that the Legisla-
ture OF our State have the success or failure of
the measure in their hands Is there any par.

responsibility Of the defeat,-in all likelihood
