know nothing about II. Moonlight in Mexico
Is moonlight pure, beautiful, magnificent, b.

chanting moonlight a hundred times willie si,.

sometimes we take q promenade around ths
camp as tar % the guard will permit us; and
at other times pass out and wander through the
beautiful streets of the city and listen 10 the
chatter OF a thousand Mexican tongues, lab
oerlng TO one another across the streets. Ills
at such times that we inhale the sweet odoroF
the now ripening fruits that grow SO plentifulIy
IN this city--such as oranges, lemons, lines.
hgs, dates and almonds: and then that best Of

NATIONAL MoEA1ITy.-The following para
graph, extracted from the inaugural of Gov.
N. S. Brown, of Tennessee, contains much OF
the eloquence of truth:
"Claiming as full an exemption from super
stition as most men, ! firmly believe, and
take pleasure in announcing IL, that no State
can prosper in a long career of true glory, in
the disregard Of the claims Of justice, and the
iniunctlons Of the Christian religion. A food
tide of apparent prosperity may come, filling
for the time the aVenuessof trade, and satIa-
ting the cravings of taste and curiosity, yet
sooner or later it has its ebb, and either clogs
with its abundance or leaves the void greater
than before. History is asilent but eloquent
witness of this truth, and from her undylng
lamp. sheds a stream Of uuceaslng light along
our pathway. The fabrics ofancient greatness
built BY injustice and consecrated to ambition
are now fitting shadows before US, starting up
from behind the broken pillars and taiing
columns, that were reared to Perpetuate the
genius by which they wore wrought"

state of Mississippi.
The year eighteen hundred and fOrty-seveu
draws near to a close. It's seasons have been
Propitious beyond precedent. The tolls Of the
husbandman have been rewarded with an a.
bundant harvest. Health has blessed our State
and general prosperity il everywhere visible
The earth has yielded its fruits in rich abun-
dance to supply our wants, and minister to our
comfort. aEs
A glowing patriotism, and a steady devo-
ton to the Laws and Constitution, under which
our State has attained her present enviable rank
in social order, wealth. population, learning
and religion, continue to pervade all classes Of
her citizens.
The benefcent beams Of a common Chris
%tianity, undimmed in their lustre by any collt-
sion Of sects or interference of legislation,
shed their rich blessings upon q people capa-
bic of approaching and willing to acknowl-
edge their obligations to the Great Ruler Of
the Universe on this behalf.
Under the smiles Of Providence, these States
have grown, prospered, and multiplied, until
they constitute a great and powerful nation.
with whom agriculture, commerce, the arts
sciences, and literature, have fourished as in
no other country in modern times.
Unhappily, involved in war! Uunder the eye
Of God, by the vaIor Of our troops and the
skill of our officers, the arms Of our beloved
country have every where been victorious.
These and innumerable other blessings anC
benefits Of a kindred character, constantly
flowing upon our State and Nation, call TO
devout thanksgiving to the bountiful Glver 0
every blessing.
! therefore, in obedience to the expressed
wish Of a large number Of christian profess
sors, as we'll as in pursuit Of my own inclina
tons respectfully recommend Thursday, tn,
twenty-ffth day Of the present month, ono
vemberD to be observed as a day OF publi
and general thanksgiving, that the people o
the state, abstaining from their ordinary bust
mes avocations, may assemble in their usua
places of religious worship and uniting witt
each other, and with their fellow-citizens o
many other States, may pay their tribute o
thanks to the author Of all our spiritual ant
temporal good gifts-and may pour out thei
hearts to Him that his rich smiles may be con
tinued to our State and Nation, through eacl
cycle Of their future existence, and that tn
abundant blessings Of this year may be crown
ed b, the terminatian Of the existing war /
an honorable and just peace.

WASHINGTON IN l8Ol.-0hs can scarcely
credit the description Of Washington city, al
Mrs. John Adams found ii in 1901.
Mrs. John Adams thus speaks Of the city III
1901 sHere and there," she writes, E'is a small
cot, withcut.a glass window, interspersed a.
mongst the forest, through which you travel
for miles without seeing a human being. The
house is upon a'grand and superb scale, requir-
ing about thirty servants to attend and keep
the apartmentsin proper order. / could con-
tent myself almost anywhere for three months;
bu tssurrounded by forests, can you believe that
wood is not to be had, because people cannot
be found to cut or cart il? The house Is made
habitable, but there Is not a single apaftment
in it finished. We have not the least fence.

limped round till his father had gone, and then
pulled them of. The pegs were an inch long
at the least calculation. And now, just be-
cause Mrs. Brown hints at a Water-pail, he is
up and off in a minute!-Why couldn't Brown

good enough to wait upon her. I'd show him

Yisit 10 the sinmese Twins.

A correspondent Of the Raleigh IN, CO Bib
lical Recorder, under date Of Aug. 2 l847,
gives the following account ola visit to Chang
and Eng, the celebrated Siamese twins, who it
will be remembered, visited this city some IF
teen years since.
In company with my friend. William M,
Nance, Esq, l called to see the Siamese twins
Chang and Eng, residing about one and a half
miles from Mount Airy, on a valuable farm
which they have lately purchased and removed
to from the county of Wilkes. To my great
disappOint ment, they were not at home, being
absent on a visit to their plantation in Wilkes,
The wife of one of them was at home, and -four
of their children, all of whom favor them very
much in appearance. They have each of them
children about the same age, In addition to
their given names, they have assumed the name
of Bankers, in honor of their ba mixer Of thai
name, in the city Of New York. The Mrs
Barker whom we found at home, appeared to
be a good looking intelligent woman, with a
free and open eountenanse, apparently about
twenty-five years of age. There appeared to
he a number of servants about the premises
Of different ages and sexes. Their house is
small, bnt they are making arrangements 70

one of them and two of their children were at

tween each place, and will 80 continue until
they build a new house, or sell their plantation
in Wilkes, which they design to do. They
take much pleasure in farming, have a fine
crop, and are quite plain and economical in
their dress and manner Of living, and are fond
Of hunting, and, with their wives and llttle
ones, apparently quite happy and contented

iTEMPEE-There is a whole sermon of advice
given in the following3extrac from a lecture
ofthat quaint preacher, Dow, Jr.
Ny FRlENDs, Flying into a passion for noth-
ing or getting in q rage for anything, is q ridi+
culous business. 1t is true that it don't last any
longer than The foamihg Of perlash and cider,
but while it exists, il is enough to make hui
mainly turn her back in disgust. Ifyou only
knew what pictures you present when the de-
mons Of wrath and fury take possession Of your
hearts, | am sure you would have to try TO keep
cool, if you had to sleep in a snow bank. At
such times you look LIKE don't know how
you do look--you look like the devil cornered
by a christian, Better keep cool under all the
circumstances. If gnats sting, mosquitoes bite,
flies modest, loves stream is rufled, hopes de-
cline, prospects are dark, money i~sscarce, life's
foot-path is SONY and your toes are sore-don't
get in a rage, but TAX il all easy, and burthens
that cause others to fret and foam, you will be
euabled 10 carry through life aseasy as a jack
ass can carry a bushel Of corn and a Niger boy
tn mill. So mote 1t be.

BAvErNe.-The following elegant extract il
from the heart Of Col. Roberts speech, deliver
ed in this place on the Goth inst.
"My friends you don't know how editors arc
made in this country. A fellow too lazy to
work and TOO cowardly to steal, sticks a pen
behind his ear and mounts the editorial tfipodi
and commences slandering honest men like
me-"
If each Of the editors sin this country
could 50 manage il as to borrow the very Pret-
ty little sum Of $4,000 dollars and then cancel
the debt by paying IS, there would be no ne
cessity for them either 10 "work" or ''sseal.'-

The Axe.Thrower.

Not long since, on board a Mississippi stea-
mer, there were many passengers, and among
them an athletic model Of humanity, hooslerly
dressed, who boosted of his high social connex-
ions, and his skill in throwing IN dre-a gym
nastic amusement now nearly obsolete. Dur
ing a promiscuous conversation by the crowd
in the social hall, the centre of which was the
consequential axe-man, who was relating per-
sonal anecdotes Of sundry great men, upon his
individual authority, it was suggested that he
might be acquainted with Henry Clay.
sClayp said he, Henry Clay? know him!
Why, gentlemen, him and mes in correspon-
dence. | expect a letter from him at the next
town. a
No particular inquiry was made as to the
nature of this OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 1t re-
lated to the tariff or throwing the axe-but
the crowd enjoying the character, followed up
with the names Of other luminaries, and that
of Tom Benton was mentioned. a
sTom Benton--big nose Tom-H--l! He
drives two horses that | sent him. st
He uttered this with an air that was 'brook-
less of all d%ispute;' and when at length Tom
Corwin's name came up, a smile lit up hi%siace,
and a wink darkened up one Of his eyes, as he
said s.r,
SNOW you have hit on the man. we was
children ogether,--smoked the pipe that Cen
Jackson sent me, together, and went TO the
same school. l was counted on as being as
smart a boy as him; and, when spellin' tuck

and sometimes oftener. Then, when we got
ali the education out Of that school, we went
to college together, and both on us graduated
on the same day. All the difference, gentle
men, atwixt me and Tom, he went to Congress
and I rent DOM The riger! But, I'll bet a thou.
