OCCUPATION. 1t has been said, that can idle
mans head is the DEVILS workshop" and there
can be no doubt that labor is great preven-
tive Of crime. In the speech delivered by Sir
Robert Peel, in the House of Commons, expla-
natory of the effects Of the policy which he and
his colleagues had heretofore recommended and
procured to be adopted, he refers to the dimin-
ution Of crime in England within the years 1914
and ls45, and attributes it to increased employ
ment and comparative abundance amongst the
people--and, as we consider this portion of his
speech to be of considerable Importance we
make an extract for the information of our rea-
ders--and commend it to the particular consi-
deraton of those who deem honest industry
dsreputable. He said:
II will take now more important considera-
tons either than trade or commerce. | will
take the state of morality. Hear, hear. My
right honorable friend ut the the head of the
home department (Sir James Graham) stated
last year there had been great reduction and
dmnuton in crime. In 1912 there was We
ry alarming increase in the number of commit
crease in the number of commitments remark
able in l949 and 1914 has been continued in
lS45, for the total number in lS45 was "a, 305,
being 2, 1887 less than in the lowest preceding
year, namely, 1912. There was a decrease in
lS43 of l-2 per cent. upon the crime of the
preceding year; and in 1914 there was de-
crease of 10 $40 per cent, and in l845 of l-2
per cent. All this has been in the face Of an
;no rho do
crease OF crime in the last year has been in all
the chief manufacturing districts; but not only
in all the chief manufacturing districts, but,
with the exception of FIVE, there has been u cor
responding and almost absolute decrease in all
the chief agricultural districts. Hear, hear. !
What is the state of Wales now, for instance?
Why in Wales the decrease of commitments
has been more remarkable than in any other
part of the country. Loud cheers Now for
crimes connected with sedition, discomfort and
disaffecton against the government. Why 1
may say that in the last two years the attorney
generals Office in this respect has been SINE
cure hear, hear;l for there has not been sin
gle prosecution within the last two years, be-
lieve, but am certain there has not in the
last, for any offence of this nature, hear, hear
The government has no right to take credit for
lenity as the cause of this, because it is owing
to the fact that the crime Of sedition has not
existed, [hear, hear,l In the years 1910, ls4l
and lS42-and | beg the house to listen to this
statement seriously, [hear, hear i'm these three
years, 1910, lS4l, and lS42, no less than ,251
persons were committed upon charges of sed-
tious and lotous offences; whilst in S4S, 1874,
and ls45, there were only ia persons commit

year, 1915, IA | said before, do not believe
there was single person committed, Ihear |

INVOCATION TO A LONG SILENT HARP.
Up, up and awake from thy slumbers,
Lone harp, which long silent has lain;
And sounding once more thy wild numbers,
Freak the spell which has held thee in chain.
Too long has the dark cleud of sadness,
Enc0mpsssed each trembling string;
Breathe forth bat one echo ia gladness-
Rouse harp Of my spirit and sing.
Go forth DER the valleys and mountains,
And sound in the places of yore;
Blend thy voice with the silvery fountains,
And hang on the willow no more.
Go wander alone by the river,
And gaze on the wide swelling sea;
Where the tones of the beautiful ever,
Are sounding welcome to thee.
Then shake off the letters which bind thee,
Bid care's sombre shadows depart;
AND while earth sheds its loneliness round thee
Cab poesy back TO the heart EMILY.

CONGRESS- Owing TO failures Of the mails
we are without late dates from Washing
ton. We think it very probable that the
difference between the Two Houses as to
the phraseolcgy of the "nolice" resolutions
has been adjusted by committee of con-
fcrence-if not, there will no action on the
Oregon question. 1t will be seen that Jes-
Sc Speight, Senator from Mississippi, was
one of the six Senators who voted, on the
test, against the House Iesolutions-thus
misrepresenting, as lie must have known,
the wishes and interests of large MAORI
ty of his constituents, and in effect dsre-
gardng the instructions of the Legislature.
What excuse can he offer for thus boiling
from his political friends, on such critical
occasion, unless indeed, it be that he was
striving to repay the wings who so mate
rally aided in his election!

Late from MexicO and Texas.

We are indebted TO Messrs. MCCONNELL,
at Greenwood, for a copy of the N. o. Del
ia extra, Of Wednesday last, containing
late news from the army in Texas, which
we subioin, and the accounts by the Gale
dona steamship, to be found in another
part of this paper. It will be seen that
four American soldiers have been killed
while on duty in the vicinity of Taylor's
camp-as the Mexican officers aledge, by
robbers. 1t is little singular that band
of fifty armed robbers should be collected
together at such time and pIace-in the
vicinity of two armies and it is still more
singular that they should expect to obtain
booty by attacking file OF soldiers. The
tale is ridiculous and we have no doubt
when the truth is known, it will be ascer-
tanned that they acted under the orders Of
the daslardly and treacherohs Mexican Of
fcers, almost any of whom would assassi-
nate man =" for fifty cents or Ills blanket"

The NEW TAmFF.--Mr, Mckay, from
the Committee on Ways aud Means, re-.
ported, on the 18th inst, the proposed new
tariff bill Ii differs from the present one
in two particulars First, ii greatly re.
duces the duties on imports; and second
ly it abolishes all specific duties, and d.
reefs that on articles enumerated, GER
tain per centage on their value should be
collected, varying from IS to per centum,
OF the merits of the bill it is not our
purpose 10 speak we owe it to our readers,
however to give them some idea Of its pro.
mlnent features,
lst A duty OF rs per cent. al raj is
levied Oh all brandy and other distilled Ii
quors.
ID, A duty of 80 per cent. on nearly
every article manufactured of cotton, wool,
wood, glass, metal OF all kinds, marble,
stone, hale, etc, etc. wines. fruit, sugars,
syrup, etc. etc.
Sd. A duty of 25 per cent. on coarse
manufactures Of wool, silk, worSled, cord
age, cotton, lace, buttons, etc.
4h. A duly Of 20 per cent. on a great
variety Of articles, commencing with acid,
passing through ale, beer, porter in cnsSs,
touching asaieiia, barley, beef, and ba.
nanas and beeswax, taking up bitter apples,
banks, flowers, cotton shirts, gamboge, H.
quorice and floor mating, embracing about
$50 articles--concluding with wooden list'
ings, aud yarn.
9th. A duty of Is per cent on angora,
mahogany, dragons blood, needles, zinc,
flax, tow, decoctions Of logwood, (not cla-
ret,) mamma, marble, etc.
9th. A duty of 10 per cent. on watch.
es, nox vomica, jewery, lemon juice,
maps, charts, arsenic, ralans grease, mar
tow, soap, raw silk, ETC., etc
7ih. A duty of per cent. on fints,
grind.stones, paving stones, a great yarle-
ty of gums, and raw hides, aud skins Of all
kinds, shells, saltpetre, etc, etc.
Sth. A great many articles, among
which, tea, coffee, animals for breed, seeds
of all kinds, gold, silver, cotton, cite, etc,
are to be admitted free of duty after the
first day Of December next
Had we room, we would like to publish
the whole bill, but we are compelled TO
withhold it. The principle of the bill,
however, as our readers will perceive is
entirely different from that on which the
present tariff is based The idea Of " pro-
tec;ion" appears 10 be entirely omitted,
and the highest duties are laid upon orli.
cles OF luxury, which are not, to any eX-
tent, manufactured in this country
Whether, es a revenue bill, it will meet
the expectations Of its trainers, can only
be determined by time. N. o. DeIta,

L,T- The resignation OF Gen'l WoRrH,
Of the army, will be heard of with regret
by all acquainted with the character OF that
chivalrous and gallant officer. This has
been caused by some decision, which he
deems unjust, relative 10 his rank. A letter
in the Bulletin, detailing the movements Of
the army Of occupation, relates the follow
ing incident Of Gen. W.
On the evening of the 2Sth, the gallant
Worth planted the stars and stripes on the
left bank OF the Rio Grande, in front of
Malamcras, from which il has mol been
removed. Gen. Taylor sent Worth to
communicate with Mejo, who refused to
receive the second in command, but sent
his second, Gen. Vega, to receive the
communication from Gen. Worth, It's
substance was, that the u s. troops had
advanced without hostile intentions to take
possession of the left bank Of the Rio
Grande. Worth was offended at Mejia's
discourtesy, and declined giving the letter,
but stated the contents Gen. Vega open.
ed youmlnous argument against the
right Of Gen Taylor, to which Worth re.
piled that he came to state fdcis, not ar

United States, now flying in his sight was
offensive to the Mexican pride. Worth
