CHEEsE.--This is becoming much greater
article of export to England than it arti
Gle of import into this country; not the imitation of
Gloster, colorcd, but the plain American dairy
cheese, which is highly approved for its mildneSs.
The Savannah Republican says that cheese is made
in Chattoga, Georgia, which will bear comparison
with the best English Cheshire, and that the dairy
which produces it will furnish this year $4,000 lbs of
it. This is large quantity for southern article Of
that nature, and shows how much the south is
cessariy dependent the north for many articles of
consumption. southern dairy which produce
1900 lbs. of cheese annually, should also manufac-
turc butter TO considerable extent. AT all events,
we have dairies in this State which turn out cheese,
which, after being year old, cannot be equalled by
any Cheshire.

MAcAULAY, in his address TO the electors of Edin-
burgh, at the hustings alluded in the following
ner to commerce and this country:
1t is my firm belief that the great principle of
freedom Of trade is the real the sautary antagonist
of war 1t is my belief that if in the course of
ages shall find nations agreeing to adjust differ
ences not by the sword, but by arbtratiOn-that if
the greatest of all evls-hiherto perhaps necessary
one, but still the greatest of all evils which man has
inflicted upon man, shall disappear from the
world, it will be through the agency of commercial
freedom that such consummaton will be accomplished
and believe that this pledge. this first fruit of our
entrance on sound system of trade, is that treaty
which has avered war between two kindred nations,
and which will, trust, leave to them henceforth no
other object of dispute than the emulation which of
of the branches ofthe great British family shall %
to extend the blessings of civilization. of liberty and
good government throughout the world"

For the Indiana State Sentinel.
Verses.

When sorrows memory once was dear,
O'er my lonely pillow;
My thoughts would spun the placid sleep,
My breast in darkness then would keep
My own wild hopes, or sadly weep
Der those who departed
LIES stream runs on with darker flow,
Then hopes last beams are she'd
To feel my heart is linked 20 all,
The sear-lcsf bligh;ed with the fall
or summer leaves that round me fall,
sadder may not be.
But each has had his dream OF ",
And had his couch Of wo:
But when the cord is snapped in twain,
IL may not reunite again,
Or aught forbid the spell Of pain,
OF voices heard no more.

treat them all generously well justly. But we
do not see that this good will has been met with

we confess, heartily tired. And conceive

thunder storm, under large tree on the bank of the
Ohio river about three miles above Louisville. While
standing there the lightning struck the tree and in
stantly killed one Of the men. The other two ran
few feet and fell, but partially recovered from
the effect of the stroke The electric fluid scorched
the leg of one Of them, who is now quite recovered
from Its effects and affected the mind of the other
with arrangement. The name of the person killed
was James Shadrick. The shelter they sought was,
under the circumstances, the most dangerous which
could have been selected.
