CAPTAIN FREMONT.

A correspondent Of the New York Mir
ror furnishes the following authentic and
carefully prepared account of Capt. FIRE.
mont, Of the u. s. Army. the explorer OF
Oregon and California.
Captain Fremont, whose celebrated ex-
plorations in the farthest west is now the
theme of universal applause, is native of
South Carolina, the son of widow, and
the architect of his own fortunes. Left
an orphan at four years of age, with
brother and sister younger than himself,
his mother, until he was seventeen, pro-
vited for his support and education; at
that age he began to provide for himself,
and for those connected with him. For
three years he taught mathematics, per-
fecting his own education, and giving all
his earnings beyond his necessary sup
port to his mother and the two younger
children. At the age of twenty his skill
in mathematics procured him employment
on the rail road explorations undertaken
by the State of South Carolina, TO con-
meet the Atlantic ocean and the Ohio river
at the two points Of Charleston and Gin
cinnati, and this gave him occupation in
the mountainous region of North Carroll
ma and Tennessee, and first Injured him to
mountain life, and led him TO commence
the scientific observations of the heavens
and earth, he has since extended over so
vast a field. While engaged in this bu-
siness, an increase was made by Congress
in some branches of the regular army.
Gen. Jackson was then President of the
United States, and directed one half of the
new appointments to be taken from the
class of citizens and out of this class the
young Fremont obtained place among
The Junior officers of the Typographical
engineers. The wise and patriotic deci-
sion of Gen. Jackson opened the door for
this appointment, but it required the me-
rit of the applicant to obtain it. The To-
biographical Corps is eminently scientific;
and the young Fremont, never having
been at the national Military Academy.
had to stand an examination before he
could be appointed. A board of eminent
officers examined him. He stood the test
of this severe ordeal. He triumphed in
his examination; and thus won his way
to place which the enlightened patriot
ism of Jackson had laid open to the COM
petition of friendless merit. This was q
first fruit-a rich one-of having been 9
teacher of mathematics. What an encou
ragement to young men to advance them
selves by their own exertions.

DONESTIg PIETY,

If there be one curse more bitter than
another to man, il is to be the offspring OF
an irreligious home, Of home where the
voice Of praise and prayer ascend not to
God, and where the ties Of human aflec-
ton are not purified and elevated by the
refining influence of religious feeling; Of
a home to which, if the cares or the sor-
rows of life shall bring religion to the heart
in after days, that heart cannot turn with
out bitterness of feeling, without anguish
and vexation ofspirit. lfthere be a curse
to any country where the truths of reii-
gion are known, the deepest and bitterest
curse which can be inflicted on 1t is
a multitude of homes like that which |
have supposed. Such homes send forth
their sons unchecked in evil thought, UNI
hallowed in their habits, and untaght in
love to God The name and cross of Jesus
Christ stamped perhaps upon their fore
head, but not written in their hearts; and
they send them forth to prey upon the
land, and to become its curse and its de-
struction. But on the other hand, there
is blessing to the religious home which
no tongue can speak, where in early years
the heart is trained 10 love of God, and
to take pleasure in his worship and SER
vice, inlerweaves with the existence OF
man holy affections which die not with
the circumstances that gave them birth,
which last long, even though they may
for a season be forgotten and neglected,
and which exercise at least some check
upon the evil of the human heart, and Of
ten, nay commonly, recall it to hear again
the voice of God and to turn to the paths
of holiness and peace. How great, how
unspeakable is the happiness of a land
where homes like this are common.
Rer. Henry John Rose.

MANAGEMENT OF A DAIRY.

Few of our farmers are aware OF all
the advantages Of using stone ware in the
management of The dairy. II being made
Of peculiar kinds Of clay, which, by the

mend i, 10 every one who has the care OF

much in use, is glazed with lead. which
will corrode when acted on by an acid, and
as cream is liable to become aour in warm
weather. the oxygen that i. imbibes from
the atmosphere, which makes il sour, must
in some degree ac. upon the lead OF the
glazed pot, and form the oxide of lead,
and render i, not only disagieeable TO the
taste, but very unwholesome.
The stone pot being entirely free from
all substances Of this Kind, and in a high
degree a non.conductor, keeps the cream
cool and in a pure and sweet state, much
longer than the glazed pot or the wooden
vessel. And for the purpose of packing
down butter. the stone pot will preserve
every part of i, sweet and pure, while the
glazed pot or wooden frkin will impar'

in contact with them, disagreeable fla

ate the difference between stone and earth

tried them. 10.

packets, with late news may arrive yet the most IN
terestlng intelligence must come in the steamer.

here that IN that time the Oregon question will be
