The Empire Of Hayti.

The reader will be both amused and
panied by the exhibition ofvanity, folly and
barbarism, which is now exhibited in Hayti
where brutal monster in human shape
has been proclaimed Emperor, and scat.
ters his titles broadcast among his minions
as if such empty honor could confer any
dignity or decency. The elevation and So
cial position of the African race is greatly
hindered by such disgusting exhibitions.
The Kingston (Jamaica) Journal, of the
30th September, says:
"All the secretaries, commissaries, gen.
darmes, and espions OF the late President
Soulouque, now 'Faustin the First of the
EIaytien Empire have found themselves
suddenly transformed into so many illus
trious limbs of nobility. The friends Of
M. Schelcher, those who countenaced the
massacre of their brethren, are receiving
duchies and principalities in recompense
Of their zeal and their devotion to the theo-
ries of their substitution"
The following extract is from a gentle
man of high responsibility at Hayti:
81 send you a Haytien journal, by which
you will see that the ferocious and SAN
culinary President of Hayti, Soulouque,
has got himself proclaimed Emperor
The newspaper tells you that he owes his
elevation to the wish of the people; but
this is false; the initiative has been entire
ly his own, and any member Of the Legis-
lative body that would dare to oppose his
will would have been drawn out and shot
like dog, as many a man has lately
been, by order of this monster. His OBJ
ject is to exterminate the colored race, and
have the country governed exclusively by
the blacks. There is no longer safety to
to the colored men in Hayt. All this class
who possess any thing have been either
killed or obliged to flee the country
Neither sex nor age is spared by this de-
mon and his minister, Salomon, who have
sworn en- massc determination of the col
ored race. But let us hope that the Al
mighty will avert the accomplishment Of
such crime, and that they may yet find
in Hayti another Brutus to deliver his
country from this monster, who surpasses
in cruelty any thing we have read of Ii
berius or Nero"

New MODE CT BULL ING.-A small house
may be built in the following manner, with
saving of expense, where lumber is as
plenty and as cheap as in this city, and
where planning can be done by machinery.
Take two inch plank, plane them on one
side, and tongue and groove them. Pro-
vide good sills, and erect the building by
setting the planks upright; and battening
the joints with strips of half an inch stuff,
the strips two inches wide. This forms
the outside wall. Furr out on the inside
with half inch stuff, and lath to that. The
half inch turing gives sufficient room for
the plastering to clinch, yet leaves the
space too narrow for mice. For small
one story houses, this is very pretty
mode of building, cheaper than by studs
and clapboards, and in many respects bet
ter Several such houses have been built
in this City, and give good satisfaction.

The following remarks of DR.. Chan.
ming from his discourses on the Dignity OF
Labor, beautifully define the principles OF
the democratic creed:
sour mission is to elevate society with
all its conditions, to secure every human
being the means Of progress, to substitute
the government of laws for that of ire
sponsble individuals, to prove that under
popular institutions the people may be car
ried forward, that the multitude who toll,
are capable of enjoying the noblest bles-
sings of the social state. The prejudice
that labor is a degradation, one of the
worst prejudices handed down from bar
barous ages. is to receive here a practical
refutation. The power OF liberty to raise
up the whole people, this is the great idea
on which our institutions rest, and which
is to be wrought out in our history. Shall
a nation on such mission, abiure, and
even fight against the progress which it is
specially called to promoted"

A number of capitalists in New York
city are buying a large tract of land, ff-
teen miles from the city, near the Hudson
river railroad, where they intend to erect
new city for the laboring classes. Two
millions of dollars is to be the capital
The company are to build 5000 brick
houses at $500 each, including the lot of
SO by 200. These house are to be let at
$52 each to mechanics, or 81 a week,
which will pay 10 per cent. on the capital.
All the houses to be uniform. Each occu-
pant to have the right to purchase his
house by paying two dollars week, and
keeping up the interest of 7 per cent. In
this way, he gets title to his homestead
in about six years. A negotiation is going
on with the Hudson River Railroad, that
the occupants of these houses shall have
the privilege to commute with the Railroad
Company for their passage to New York
and back again, at a price not to exceed
six cents day for going and coming; the
distance each way will not be far from IS
miles at three cents head. If 10000
laborers reside there, it would give the
company 5000 day, or SS187 900 year.

The Pacific Road and the City Of New Orleans
"A serious objection has been urged against all
the Northern routes for the Pacific railroad that
where they touch the Mississippi the navigation to
New Orleans must be closed for large part Of the
year by ice orslew waters. The Whitney route
would be beyond our reach entirely, and Mr.. Ben
TONS project, BY terminating at ST. louis, would
cut of free intercourse with New Orleans during
the winter months when the ice obstructs the river
and during ths summer and fall months, when
only light-dTaught boats can get much above the
mouth Of the Ohio.
The 81. Louis Union treats this objection very
Slightnglf. New Orleans is too Insignificant 10 BE-
taken into the account !" Il might be,pa saws that
paper, " a serious consideration if New Orleans
were the only outlet" That is, if there were an
imperious necessity for consulting facility Of com
munication with New Orleans, it would be a strong
objection to the St. Louis route that it shuts out
New Orleans No thought is given to the cons
yenience or advantage of New Orleans, and the
vast region which trades here; rather it seems, in
the eyes Of the Union an advantage that there are
other points to which trade can be carried. in a
different direction. Il would be, he says, serious
objection that ST. Louis is not accessible easily
from New Orleans during a large part Of the year.

road, 4 DOuld Be Of no account Whatseer."
Thank You for the plain hints. These Northern
plans, il seems, are to make g no account 2 what.
ever Of the communication with New Orleans or
the facilities for getting here. It Is enough that
they can get into connection with the Atlantic
ports. This sort Of reasoning, natural enough,
perhaps, for men who are attempting to conciliate
the vast Northern capital for the advancement Of
their own peculiar interests is very suggestive to
those whose interests lie in this quarter The en-
suing Memphis Convention will afford an opportu-
nifty for investigating ell these points and showing
not only where the greatest good Of the greatest
number will be best served in the selection of this
vast Line Of INSTRUMENTATION with the Pacific,
but for proving that there are FoutessborleF, more
economical, more speedily built and more advan-
tageous to the whole country, which will be Access
sible at all seasons, which will not leave this great
capital out of the estimate as of "no account, -
but which will rather build it up and foster its
commerce. the Natural Centre Of the South
western population and trade.

REMAINS OF Mr.. WHITFIELD-A Bone Recon-
ened.--We gavea brief paragraph from Boston
paper few days,since, on the same subject as the
following, from the Newark IN. j. Advertiser:

apackage containing the stolen relic, with letter,
from which an extract is given below, with Mr..

days, but is again at stand, with only. so inches
water between Decatur and Guuter's Landing and
20 inches between Gunier's Landing and Cbatta-

Chattanooga, and the mail boat between Gunter's
Landing and DecatuF-the latter makes her repu.
lar trips, with an occasional exception on account
Of fogs. There has been more delay in getting
goods forward this season than usual owing partly
to the scarcity Of wagons at Dalton, and partly to
the low stage Of the river Our merchants are now
receiving their supplies by fatboais to Gunter's
Landing and thence by the steamboat News. For
the last few days we have had cloudy weather,
with occasional showers, and may now expect a
rise in our river.
