WoMEN.-lt seems as if nature connected our
intelligence with their dignity, connect our
happiness with their virtue. This, therefore, is a
law of eternal justice-man cannot degrade woman
without himself falling into the degradation; he
cannot raise her without becoming better. Let US
cast our eyes the globe, and observe the two
great divisions of the human race the east and the
west. One half of the ancient world remains with
out progress, without thought, and under the load
of a barbarous civilization; women there slaves.
The other half advances towards freedom, light,
and happiness the women there are loved and
honored. Never shrink from woman of strong
sense. If she becomes attached to you, it will BE-
from seeing and valuing similar qualities in your
self. You may trust her, for she knows the value
of your confidence. You may consult her. for she
is able to advise, and does at with the firm
ness Of reason and the consideration Of affection
Her love will be lasting, for it will not have been
slightly won it will be strong and ardent for weak
minds are incapable of the loftier grades of pas
sion. If you prefer attaching yourself to woman
of feeble understanding, it must be either from
fearing to encounter superior person, or from
vanity of preferrng that admiration which springs
from ignorance, to that which approaches to ap-
probation.

An able address was recently delivered
before the American Institute of New
York, in the course of which some highl,
interesting details were given of the con.
dition of the public Improvements anc
of manufactures in the southern States
The South has indeed reused herself with.
in few years, and her capitalists and
men of enterprise are directing their ener-
gies TO the development of the real re-
sources of that section Of the Union. Mil
lions Of dollars have already been invest.
ed in manufacturing establishments, and
other millions will soon take The same di.
rection. The convention at Memphis,
with reference to railroad t., the Pacific,
is an important movement, and calculated
not little to stimulate the new spirit Of
enterprise which has SO recently been
manifested in the South Delegates were
in attendance from Arkansas, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri,
Texas, Illinois, Virginia, South Carolina
and Tennessee, as well as from Pennsyl-
vania,. Massachusetts and New York. Al
though nothing definite may be deter
mined upon, the leading men will no doubt
compare views, survey the whole coun-
try, recognise and point out the relative
position and prospects of the South, and
thus lead to further investigation and fur
Their enterprise. The New Orleans scheme
for railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuan-
tepec is also matter of more than ordina-
ry interest, and calculated to show that
the northern and southern States will not
have the race to themselves. Little Del
aware, we are assured, has already a
greater number of manufacturing estab-
lishments, in proportion to herpopulation,
than any other State in the Union. Mary
land has invested $45, 100000 in rail
roads, canals and manufactures, and she is
still busily and actively employed in vari-
Gus laudable undertakings. Virginia has
like investment of about $50, 900, 900,
and will soon have railroads in active OPP

miles. North Carolina has five hundred
miles OF railroads completed or in progress
while even in South Carolina, where,
until recently, manufactures were ridi-
culed OF denounced, several extensive fac
tories are now in active progress and sue.
cessful operation. Florida, young as she
is, has $4,000,000 invested in railroads
and manufactories-while Georgia has in
vested $50, 900, 900, and has upwards OF
seventy cotton factories in the full tide OF
successful experiment. Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky
and Tennessee, are also animated by the
same spirit. Mississippi has fifty-three

Recognising the right of /" A Tax payer" or any
other citizen 10 canvass my Official acts, and 70 ami
madvert upon my official conduct, If he deems
il improper or blamabc, would respectfully in
vito that writer, any other tax payer, to exam
inc the cases, which will all be returned 10 the
Mayors Office the first of next month, and
Judge candidly for himself whether the face Of the

course which adopted and the judgments which
entered in all those " non pressed" cases.
Lest il should be supposed, some have already
insnuated, that have been governed by a retslia-
tory spirit towards my colleague, (growing out OF
circumstances which occurred at the late election
for police magistrates, when an ungenerous at
tempt 10 defeat my reelection was signally de
fcated) would state, that ] have only nom

would further state that in the referred TO,
a new warrant has been issued and a fine imposed
upon the defendant which will probably amount TO
as much as the corporation will have To pay for all
the "non- pressed cases" referred 10 by "a Tax
Payer"
For the information of "a Taxpayer" would
remark az well as for my own justification, that,
had entered Judgment in the case Of Killmon, on
the warrant laid before me, and the defendant had
appealed from my judgment 10 the circuit court,
the costs to the corporation would probably have
amounted 10 not less than 500, instead OF about

been properly drawn out

The Man VITA ONE GAaMEsT.-We find the
following amusing paragraph in the Springfield
Republican II contains an excellent moral which
we recommend to the attention of all advocates Of
parties, based on principle;
"There once man, wise in his own eyes,
and deemed by his neighbors little strange,
who, upon rising from his bed one morning, paused
and considered before he dressed. He was a wax
ing dreamer, and thus he dreamed 'Pantaloons
are essential. No other garment is 40 absolutely
essential pantaloons. In truth, other gar.
ment is essential bat pantaloons; therefore go in
for pantaloons, and nothing but pantaloons. Any
man who goes in for any thing else IL a hypocrite,
and the truth IL not in him. Well, this man went
out into the world with nothing but pantaloons ON.
He met men I'm coat, hat, and boots and clad ms
men usually are My friends, said the dreamer,
you are wrong. You must take off your coat, and
pull off your boots, and lay aside your hat, for
those are all non essentials But have Just as
rood pantaloons as YOURSELF answered the men.
4 know but they are partly covered with your
coat tails, and are not the prominent objects OF
your dress. Look at me- Pm nothing but panta-
looms Thus the man went up and down the
country, and though he found MANY who admitted
that pantaloons essential he could lind but
few who did not consider other articles OF dress in
the same category. He was wroth at this, and
brswlcd and in process OF time gathered to him
some wisc and more simple, who lifted up their
voices and cried, 'pantaloons foreverp The world
logged on a usual but as is usual with curious
world, IL would like 10 know what the party in
pantaloons, and nothing else, propose to do Let
us have the programme"

Autumn

This is the most glorious season of the
American year. The bluff equinoctial has
blown its hurricane blast, and soon the soft
Indian summer will fold around the land
scape its curtains of rosy mist. Mean
while the air has an exhilarating flavor
about it, and the invisible spirit of appe-
tite, if such sprite there be, pervades
every cubic foot of it. Sport is afoot.
Nimrods, arrayed in shooting toggery,
with double barrels sheathed in selvage
covers, and leashed settlers capering by
their sides, may be seen at early dawn on
their way to the ferries. There are wood
cock, plenty of them-for those who have
good eyes and guns and dogs-both in the
Jarseys and on Long Island. For those
who prefer the ''pliant rod and whistling
line" there is fine sport at Kingsbridge,
McComb's dam, and call long shore.''
Every where there is an invigorating at
mospbere, and the ranger of the wood
lands who comes home without feather
in his bag, or the whipper of the waters
whose exertions have failed to secure a
fin, will be sure to return with determi-
nation to make the larder suffer. Al
though confined to pen, we can imagine
the delights Of days range among the
long bills-they are as fat as butter now
or a few hours of fnesse with the striped
bass. But alas! like Yorick's starting,
"we can't get out" The "visible forms
with which we 4" hold communion" are
moi those spoken OF by Bryant, nor are our
loaded lines appropriate for catching bass
and blackfsh. One of these days, if We
can escape the little imp who vociierate.

there is no telling whether, after fifteen
years of non-intercourse with nature, the
old lady might not be considerable of a
bore.
II is, or was, our misfortune 10 be un-
able To indite in the country. The few
available ideas with which our upper story
is populated, abscond and ego TO grass

Perhaps il was only an uch fib Of his--a

BALTIMORE, Oct. 3O-7 D. m.

w. wv l..
The New York Courier and Enquirer Of
this morning contains letter dated Wash
ington, 2Sth October, from which the fol-
lowing is extracted: emperor Nicholas
has recently perpetrated an act of unpar-
alleled barbarism, which will be deeply
deplored by the citizens of Washington,
and can hardly fail to awaken the indigna-
ton Of the civilized world. He has torn
M. Bodisco, SO long the Russian Envoy
in Washington, from his family, and
driven him, in his old age, for the residue
OF ms life, to endure the rigors Of Sibe-
rian exile. This news is astounding, and comes
through medium which precludes all doubt. 1t
seems that edct of the Autocrat prohibited his
diplomatic agents from owning property of any
kind in the countries to which they were accred
tied, and M. Bodisco enriched himself in estates
wholly American He owned a valuable real estate
in Georgetown, and became considerably inter
ested in government securities. His property in
all was valued at four hundred aud fifty thousand
dollars These facts became known TO the Empe-
ror last winter, through the agency of spy, and
he Immediately proceeded, in artful manner, to
entrap M. Bodisco into his hands. Just previous
to his departure from Washington, either from
suspicion to his monarch's motives or perhaps
in view of the perils of his voyage Bodisco settled
handsome fortune on his much respected wife,
who, it will be remembered, is an American lady
These facts have been in my possession for several
weeks. but under injunction Of secrecy, lest they
should reach Madam Bodsco."
