nor was my resolution shaken by it. When
a great people is invaded by an unjust enemy,
which aims at wounding its rights and tram
bling on its dignity, it cannot excuse itself
from fight, even though it should be unpre-
pared for the combat. It will suffer defeats,
but weakening the enemy even in its own
disasters, it will acquire experience, and soon
er or later it will extermnate the invader OF
at least give him positive defeat. In this
conviction, which is deep rooted within me,
have sought the enemy in every direction, and
inflicted heavy losses upon him in both the &C.
tons which have fought. If Mexicans dis
cover that we do not fight the enemy as of
ten as an opportunity occurs, they will aban-
don themselves to despair, when there are
bundant reasons for looking forward to the
happy day in which the country may secure
again unfading glory. My faith in her desti-
MES has never abandoned me; and leave to
others the peasureaof exercising their malev-
olence or their envy,Fwhilst strive with al
my powers to wrest victory from the hands
of the enemy, or to meet death--the only pos
sible term OF my determination serve with yea.
and loyalty the nation which has so constant,

An E2k Sucked by Woman.-A gentle
man, and an old citizen of this city, informed
us day or two ago, that about twenty five
years since, he was travelling in the then ter
ritory of Missouri, south of the Missouri riv-
er, when he halted at cabin occupied by q
hardy pioneer and his wife, with d growing
family of children, among whom was anadop-
ted four legged child, viz: an elk. The woman
Informed our traveller that the said animal
was caught while young from its mother, and
of course was deprived of milk-to supply
which she taught it to draw her own breast, and
that it had continued to thrive under such
treatment until it had grown to the size and
perfection nearly approaching that of the ma
tural animal as described in history, which
all know is large and beautiful The
delicacy and tenderness with which the elk
took its food from the breast. as described to
us, was unique, both standing, the animals
head and back forming parallel line with the
womans head, in its younger days the woman
sat upon seat which was raised higher as
the sucking grew, so as to accommodate the
parties. We give this as a curious and inter.
esting fact worthy of record in the events and
customs of the earlier settlers of the Great
West, which, as we have before limited, will
one day form book of rare interest.

POPULATION OF THE CRAVE

From extensive calculations, it seems the
average. of human births per second, since the
birth of Christ to this time, is about SI5; which
gives about thirty-two thousand millions: and
after deductng the present supposed popuia-
ton of the world, $3.50, 000,000) leaves the
number of thirty-one thousand and forty mil
lions that have gone down TO the grave; Civ.
ing death and the grave the victory over tht
living to the number of thirty thousand ant
eighty millions. OF this number in the grave
about
100000, 900 have died by War,
100000, 900 by Famine and Pestilence,
5O0,0OO,0OO by Martyrdom,
$4,000, 900 by Intoxicating drink,
10000, 900 natural or otherwise.
Thus it will be seen that war and strong
drink have sent nearly one-thirdof the human
race to premature grave.
The calculations on this subject might be
extendedto an almost indefinite length, and
perhaps. too, with propriety, If thought and
meditation would dwell upon them and deduct
the morale from each and every avenue. For
instance, if strong drink has now had It's $780,
100000 of victims, how many more must it
have before the moderate drinker will lay his
shoulder to the pledge OF reform? Suppose
out thifty days OF intense agony and misery
to be the lot Of each drunkards family OF five
each what is the amount in the aggregate ?
Suppose it required even no more than fifty
bushels OF grain distilled to make man a
drunkard. how long would it last furnishing
Europe nay even the whole universal world?
ltwould amount to ffty-eight hundred millions
Of barrels Of flour
Suppose again that each drunkard loses or
wastes only ten years OF his life, at three shit
lings per day, how many solid globes of hel
size of oul earth would it ($653 ,OSO, 200, OOO)
purchase? Make your own calculations, not
only upon these supposed cases, but any 9th
ers of which this subject is susceptible, and
the result will astonish you, and perhaps lead
to a somewhat different course in life. These
estimates are many Of them below the reality

Prevention Of Infection from Typhus Fe-
ver.-The London Weekly Despatch, of the
Sd OF May, says DR.. J. c. Smith obtained
$4,000 from Parliament for the following re-
cipe:-
g Take six drachms of powdered nitre, (sat-
petre) and six drachms of suIphate acid, Coil
of vitroD and mix them in a tea cup By ad-
ding one drachm of the oil at a time, copious
discharge of nitrous acid gas will take place
The cup to be placed during the preparation
on a hot hearth or plate of heated iron, and
the mixture stirred with a tobacco pipe
The quantity Of gas may be regulated by
lessening or increasing the quantity of ingre-
dients The above is for a moderate sized
room half the quantity would be sufficient
for a small room. Avoid as much as possible
breathing the gas when it first rises from the
vessel. No injury to the lungs will happen
when the air is impregntted with the gas
which is called nitrous acid gas, and it canno
be too widely known that it possesses the pro-
perty of preventing the spread of fever"

IMPORTANCE OF IMPROVING TIME.-But
few seem to be.fully aware of the importance
OF improving time. Yet there are those, Il.
mong the most considerate, who know how TO
appreciate the value of time They evince
this in their efforts to do good, and to promote
usefulness in the world Indeed, the conduct
OF all tends to convince every one of the ne
cesslty of improving time, could they fully
realize how soon their days on earth would
be numbered. This idea is often overlooked.
This IS perhaps one prominent reason why SO
many permit hours, days, and even weeks, 10
run to waste. Ii man were created for no 9TH
er purpose than TO spend his time in deness,
1t would not be so strange TO see people
manItesting SO little concern about improving
the passing moments But as God has enioin-
ed 1t upon man to improve the talents commit
ted TO his trust, it is astonishing to see multi
tudes living as though no such duty was i'm
posed upon them. Time should be improved
to the best advantage, or but little will be ac-
compllshed. Time must be improved, or the
cause of truth will suffer a great loss. In
short, any who neglect making efforts to pro-
mote, advance and extend the cause of truth,
in literary attanments or otherwise, is guilty
of moral wrong, and may expect to make
but little advancement towards happiness in
this world, and for this neglect perhaps, may
look back with regret in dying hour upon
the mslmprovement of their time, and die de-
graded as they lived consequently, unprepa-
red to make that advancement in q spiritual
world that they otherwise might have done.
Therefore, what our hands fndeth to do, let
us do it with our might.-Gem of Science.

HoRRID MURDER-We learn that a brutal
murder was committed in the county of Hen
rico, about five miles below this city, on SIM
day morning last, about s O'Clock, by John
Schonberger, Jr., on the person of his wife.
The unfortunate woman, it appears, from the
facts brought out by the coroners inquest,
was beaten 10 death with scrubbing brush.
There Were present at the time the murder
was committed brother, deaf and dumh,)
and sister of the deceased About twelve
months SINCE Schonberger was arraigned at
me bar Tor the murder of his brother-in-law,
"asiey.; but the evidence not being sufficient
to justify the court in sending him On for fur.
ther trial, he was discharged. Now he is to
be tried al the bar for the murder of his own
wife. We forbear at this time giving uublici-
ty TO the many reports we have heard in con.
nection with this painful event. and which, if
true, stamp the offender as being guilty of one
of the most brutal murders which it has ever
been our lot TO chronicle. The af1ir will uu-
dergo judicial investigation at once, when,
doubtless, all the facts of the case will be ell
cited. The prisoner was arrested and COM
mltted to jail on Sunday night, He is about
twenty-eight years of age The deceased was
about twenty three. i Richmond Enquirer.

AMERICANS IN CoNsrANr1Nop1E.-Tt is ora

AMERICANS IN CoNsTANTINoPLE.-1 is graz
flying to learn, that by the last accounts from
Constantinople, that by the frank and manly
conduct of our Minister resident, the Hon.
Dabney S. Carr, the U. S. are held in marked
and high estimation by the Ottoman Govern
ment. On recent occasion the Grand Vizier
gave Mr.. Carr magnificent entertainment,
by order of the Sultan. The Minister'S until
ring exertions to secure the commerce and tho
citizens of his country from vexation or OPP
preston have been crowned with success
And not less fortunate have been his efforts to
protect the various religious missions and their
agents, and families from the oppression of
the Turks, Greeks, and Armenians Indeed it
would seem that every application of our Min
lister to the Court to which he is accredited has
been received with distinguished consideration
and favor. Such diplomatic agents are alike
honorable and valuable 10 our country. They
never compromise its dignity, but on the con-
trary maintain it by their courtesy, republi-
can bearing, and frmness of purpose.

The Recent Election in NeW HAMPSHIRE
There is materieI for reflection in the recent
election in New Hampshire. NotWlthstand-
ing both the Democratic candidates were IN
favor of the WilmOt Proviso, the AbOlItlonlSts
combined with the Federalists to consumate
their defeat This is what many judicious
men feared-what, indeed was predicted in
more than one quarter. It shows exactly how
far the Democrats can rely upon abolition
support under any circumstances, and how in
considerate it is, by any even the most trtlng
concession to seem to bid for this sort OF in
1uence. While the great Republican party of
the Union adheres to the Constitution, and acts
up with consistency to its past history, retu-
sion alliance with any party, for any purpose,
and on any ahstraction-trusting to the good
sence of the nation to settle any subject OF
difference which Just apprehensons are too
ready to eXaggerate-whIle this is so, we pre-
serve our own integrity, at the same time
that we contribute TO thes preservation OF the
| Union. 1t is now the boast of the Abolition
lists, and what is the same thing the Federal
| lists, that the Democratic party in New Eng
/ land is irrevocablv divided, and really the late
! special in New Hampshire look as II 1t were
only too true 1t was inSthe hope of proven
ting this very state OF things, that the position
occupied on the question alluded to was taken
by the Democratic party in that quartet
/ They may now see, once for all how idle it i:
to rely upon abolition support. and how dan
gerous it is to coRcede to abolition preten
lions, even in appearance. The true course Ii
that which adheres to the policy under which
the great popular party has triumphed for ST
many years Abolition is but another nam
for Federalism, and we pay tribute to the las
in hoping TO conciliate the first.

"We asked his private opinion as to the
beauty of the American ladies' He hesitated,
but at last delicately expressed his want of
admiration, by saying too small fat, too
muchee foot" Pointing 10 lady going by
he gave us TO understand that she was formed
somewhat after his ideal of personal beauty,
while the foot of little child that toddled at

for their country's honor and to see its citizens

either justified by the laws of God or man.

CORWIN AND HIS SPEECH.

Even decent sub ects OF Queen Victoria are
ashamed of such men as Tom Corwin, as
would seem from the following:
GA correspondent of the Boston Courier
writing from Ogdensburg, relates the follow
ing anecdote:
g | learned that yesterday, n clergyman, as
he professed to be, and undoubtedly was, pas
sed down the river in the steamer, and the
subject of conversation was this same Mexi-
can war. He expressed hope that every
American now in Mexico would be killed or
die of disease; his dttestation of war in gene,
raj, and of the Mexican war in particular, was
such that he was fool enough to let out his
party feelings on the subject to a party of En-
glshmen. One of the persons present asked
him if he professed to be an American, and
entertained such hatred to his own country
men. He said yes. Then, said his interro-
gator, if you have not decency enough TO keep
such thoughts to yourself IN the presence of
strangers, and particularly of people who be-
long to, and hold allegiance TO another cOun.
try, you are neither worthy of the name OF
American, nor fit to associate with English
men. From that time forth the fellow held his
peace, as no one would have any communica-
tic with him. He was despsed by all the
passengers on board the boat
And yet Corwin's Speech was published BY
many of the Federal papers Of this State, and
it is now held up by the Raleigh Register and
HiIlsborough Recorder, as the very essence
and embodiment of patriotism The clergy
man spoken OF in the above anecdote; but re-
echoed the sentiments OF Corwin's Speech, and
instantly his treason was denounced, and the
man scorned, BY EngIistmen! And if scorn
ell and denounced by Engiishmen, what ought
to be the treatment OF such men at the hand.
