LIBERIA INDEPENDENT.

The REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA now takes its
place among the ind ependent nations of the
earth. The constitution has been received at
Washington, as adopted by its Convention and
fills over seven columns Of a printed sheet II o.
pens with rapid historical sketch of the estab-
fllshment and the prosperity Of the colony, which
concludes with the following appeal
Therefore, in the name of humanity, and yir.
tue and rellgion--in the name Of the Great God,
our common Creator, and our common Judge we
appeal to the nations of Christendom, and ear.
nestly and respectfully ask of them that they will
regard us with the sympathy and friendly con-
slderation TO which the pccularltles of our con-
dtion cntitle Us, and TO extend to us that comfy
which marks the friendly intercourse of civilized
and Independent communities.
Next follows the declaration of rights many
of them being copied from the State cobstitu.
tons of the United States. The spirit of the
whole may be inferred from an extract:
All power is inherent in the people all free
governments are instituted by their authority,
and tor their benefit and they have right to al.
ter and reform the same when their safety and
happiness require i.
All men have natural and inalienabc RIGHT

CUTTERS ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FOR
Schools. We have long been DESTROYS to see
the clements Of Anatomy and Physiology intro
duced as study, not only in our higher insti,u-
tions Of learning, but in our common schools
The various systems of Materia Medica, or that
which treats of diseases and their remedies. are
indeed fluctuatng and uncertain, and might not
probably be made a study in schools but the
laws of anatomy and physiology or that which
treats of the structure and nature of the human
system, are fixed and permanent and constitute
one of the certain sciences as mech 40 geogra-
ply or arithmetic. And, of all studies, what is
there which so nearly concerns us as the study
of the laws of life. Thousands Items of thon-
sands have, in their ignorance of the simple laws
of life and consequent violation of them, found
premature graves, which the knowledge we con.
tend for would have taught them to avoid. This
knowledge we need every day and hour of our
lives. We cannot always have physician with
us to consult. And if we could, who would not
gladly abridge his labors, by avoiding those
faults which gives him so vast a proportion of
his practice? But on this, perhaps, we need not
enlarge, for physical education is now acknowl-
edged to be no less important than a scientific
one. difficulty, however, has, TIL recently,
been felt in finding system simplified, and a.
dapted to the comprehension Of the common pu-
pll, to render its study available in our schools.
But that difficulty Is now obviated by the intro
ductlon of the work, named at the heading of
these remarks, which we think admirably ca1cu
lated to meet the public wants in this respect
1t consists of three books in separate volumes of
different sizes, the largest, or fullest, being de
signed for academies or high schools, and the
smallest, Of price of about so cents we sup.
pose, being calculated, and, as we conceive, We
ry finely adapted to the use Of common schools.
The work has had an unusually great crcula-
ton, and is now the text book of vast number
of academies and colleges in various parts of the
Union. In conclusion, then, we not only recon-
mend the study in our common schools, but the
particular work we have named, as the best ex-

Great Move in Western Virginia!
THE FIRST STEP IN THE CAUSE OF
EN- NCIp AXIOM TAKENI

We slated some six weeks since, that an E.
Emancipation move" would be made in less than
three months in Western Virginia, and mention
cd the grounds on which that move would be
based We have now the pleasure to inform
our readers that tho first step has been taken
and that organized effort will be made to rid
this portion OF the Old Dominion of slavery.
The first important circumstance TO be notic-
ed, is, that this step has been taken by siduehoid-
ers themselves The chief actor is the Rev.
Henry Ruffher, D. d. He is well known, per-
sonnlly or by character, throughout Virginia and
Kentucky, as an able divine of the Presbyterian
Church, and one of the learned men of the South
With him are associated S. McD. Moore, John
Lctcher, David B. Curry, James G. Hamilton,
George A. Baker, J. II. Lady, John Echos, JAS
X Gordan, jacob Fuller, Jr, d. E. Moore and
John w. Fuller. All these arc men OF charac-
ter, and nearly all of them we know TO be slave
holders.
The second important circumstance is. the
principle on which the move rests. 1t is, that
every State and every great division Of Sale
ought to, and, of right, may, in matter of such
great domestic Importance MS that OF slavery,
Judge and act for itself. West Virginia differs
IN almost every particular from the East. The
Blue Ridge is the natural division between them.
Slavery cannot thrive in West Virginia, without
crushing it at once and forever. With slavery
IN Eastern Virginia, the shareholders engaged
III tins move, do moi propose TO interfere. We
would simply" say they, "ralse barrier against
this Stygan inundatlon, stand at the Blue Ridge,
and, with sovereign energy, declare TO this black
sea of misery, Hitherto shalt thou come, and no
iur,her.'"
The main idea, then, rests on the action Of
Western Virginia, us whole. 1t is to be, in
some sort, State action. "Let US move as a
body FIRST say these Shareholders, land secure
the main point" That is, assert for all West
Virginia, Freedom. Nothing less will satisfy
hrr-nothing else, us principle, will enable her
to succeed. But as The emancipation scheme
proposed is a gradual one, county action is sug
gesled to hrSten the extinction OF slavery. Let
the law authorize the people of any county by
some deciled majority or by the consent of a
majority of slavehoJars, to decree the removal
or emancipation Of all the slaves of such county
within a fixed period. If this were done, coun-
ties having but few slaves would soon be tree,
and their example and action followed quickly
by others having a large number of blacks.
Thus Western Virginia, would in u few years
be FREE Kentucky Examiner.

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE AT ATLlxco DEATH

EhhlBbE EARTHQUAKE AT ATLtXCO DEATH
OF CANALEs, THE GUERRILLA LEADER
PETERsBUReH, Va, Nov. ~, lS47.
The schooner Sarah has arrived at New Or.
cans from the Brazos, whence she sailed on the
9th inst.
BY this arrival, intelligence is received that
etters had come from the city of Mexico, an
nouncing that on the Odd of October, the city of
Atllxco was totally destroyed by an earthquake.
Not house was left stlnding, and large por.
ton Of the inhabitants were buried under the
ruins.
Much damage also was done 10 the surround
ing country, and in the surrounding villages and
monasterios, many of which were overthrow.
Canalcs, the Mexican guerrilla chief, died at
Cerayo, on the 4ih inst. -
The sickness was increasing at the Brazis.
[Only three days previously to the destruction
OF A.lixco by an earthquake, that city had ex-
perlenced, to some extent, the horrors OF BON
bardment. Gcneral Lane, with a considerable
detac hmeni, after a forced march from Perote
ten leagues distant, reached the vicinity of At
lixco on the evening of Oct. 49, and after fight.
ing his way through the forces OF Gen. Rea, TO
a summit overlooking the town, he there posted
his artillery, and for three qulrters Of an hour
threw shot and shell into the " most thickly pop
ulated parts,' the bright light Of the noon cna-
bling the practised gunners to fire with terrific
effect. "The crash of the walls and roofs of the
houses, when struck by our shot and shells, was
mingled with Tie roar Of artillery" Two hun
dred and nineteen Mexcans were killed, and
three hundred wounded, while our own loss was
only one killed and one wounded. 1t was
thought necessary to strike these people with
terror, because their city had been the refuge
and headquarters of guerillas, whence many an
expedition had issued against our troops

Michael Kelley, overseer of the work at In
gals hill, was the person killed. It seems there
had been riot on Sunday, and Kelley was as
sisting the sheriff in arrestlng the delinquents
when he was shot. The Passumpsic Railroad
Company in connection with the selectmcn of
Newbury, have offered reward of five hundred
dollars for the arrest of the murderer or murder
ers.
The Caledonian says:
Feuds had long existed between the two Jams
OF iaborers the Cork men, and the Connaunht
men, and on the night Of the 2lst inst, :. large
party Of the latter assembled, and went IN ~ body
to the shauties of the Cork men, threatening
their lives and attempting TO break in upon them.
They were deferred from doing 80 by the fact
that the Cork men had fire arms, but on retiring
they gave them warning that ia one eek slbey
would return, and that blood should be she'd.
On Monday, 22d - Kelly with Mr.. Kent, the
Sheriff, proceeded to arrest several of the rioters
who were recognized by Kelly the night be.
fore. They succeeded in arrestng three whom
they took to the village at Newbury, and return

three others fled before force could be raised
to arrest them, and all the inmates of the shan
