SUMNER IS GoNG.-We have reached now
again one of the transition points between the
two seasons We have witnessed glorious sum
mer Its fruitful tolls and its luxurious relaxa-
tons are ended. It's abundant harvest is nearly
gathered Its beauty is ready to fade II has
done its office, how bountifullyl Il has RECALLED
the senses, how richly With what loving mag
nifcence has the God Of summer walked forth
before US lie who goes through such season,
and feels nothing but the heat, and thinks OF
nothing in it but its pleasures or its annoyances,
and has no thought about its fruits except for
their market prices, how or where will he ever
discern or worship God
And now the scene changes again. A few
more sunny days, a few more smiles from gen.
ial sky and a still beautiful earth, and the sights
and sounds that give warning of winter, will
come. Let US learn to welcome and to love the
winter-that stern nurse Of all our energies
that hard schoolmaster, whose discipline has
trained us to intelligence, and shed abroad for
us the light of knowledge and genius that good
builder Of our dwellings, and founder of our
homes, and guardian angel of our happiest re-
laiionships-the prompter of our best virtues, the
mother of our liberties We who discern not
Gods love in the seasons, who find every thing
amiss, who complain through the year that it IS
too hot or too cold too wet or too dry, that this
season or that is too slow in coming or too quick
in going, cease, beseech you, from that great
profaneness; and be we reconciled to Cod
Adore him in the bountifulness of summer and
in the equally benefcent discipline of winter
for If the latter were withholden, the former
would sink us into the listlessness and neffcien-
cy, and superstition and darkness of the savage
state.
Such, or nearly such, was the language of a
discourse from the pulpit to which we listened
yesterday. 1t seemed to US singularly beautiful
and appropriate; although the quotation is but
one of many that could have been called equally
truthful and eloquent.-EUening Transcript

Mednness Eremplifed-The N. o. Delta

who was too mean to afford the expense of
stockings during the prevalence of the epidemic,
he took the fever, and was carried TO the hos

he probably could not live more than twenty
four hours. The patient replied that he sup

The PEACE NEGoTIArIoNs.-The positive
instructions to MIR Tiist not to make peace with
Mexico unless she yields up one third OF her ter
ntory TO the United States, and the prosecution
Of the war TO compel her. shows the hollow pre-
fences Of those in power. The administration
has pretended to deprecate the necessity OF the
contest, heretofore, and proclaimed through its
organs that the olive branch has been rendered
to stubborn Mexico whenever an opportunity of
fered. Mexico has always refused to treat and
thus necessity almost, or regard to our national
character, has compelled the continuance of the
contest to compel peace. But the moment
they forget the wrongs they have suffered from
us in wrenching Texas from their territory and
snubbing them in their own ''doYe cotes"-the
moment they offer TO treat to save their capital
and offer us a portion of their territory least
valuable to them and most so TO us-a territory
containing 32l 900 square mies-the mask is
thrown of. Our object is not peace but the dis
memberment of great part of the territory OF
a neighboring Republic. And now the cry has
| gone out from those in power that Mexico must
be subdued and become a territory of the Uni.
ted States Such is the avowal of the admins
tration organs Are the people of this great
and free Republic ready TO furnish the means
for this unhoy object? Are those who were
willing TO sustain our army, though wrong
fully within the territory Of Mexico, until she
offered TO treat, still willing TO sustain this war
OF CONQUEST and SLAVERY, so unbushing APP
parentr We hope not We may conquer and
subdue her, in another years campaign but we
must hold her in subsection, by military occupa-
tiou OF her states for years and years, at an in
calcnlahe cost, to subdue the deadly hate with
which she regards us. And what is the object ?
Shall we make citizens and voters of horde Of
Spaniards cross-breeds, and Indians; and are
the latter to become members of that peculiar
Institution" which is the glory of the South and

ORDER OF AeRIcuLrURE"-The King of
Prussia has lately created an Order destined ex-
clusively to Agriculture-tha is, to cultiyators
and persons who distinguish themselves in this
department of industry. The decoration bears
on one side the effigy Of the King of Prussia, and
on the other, the motto For agricultural merit"
surrounded with crown of wheat, with vine and
olive leaves This is kind of Order that no
one will object to see greatly increasing in mum.
