MISS FREEMAN.

Y An old friend Of ours, an artist Of rare
merit, Mr.. GEORGE FREEMAN, has lovely
young daughter now in Washington, whose
talent is entirely worthy Of her origin. Miss
ANNA MARY FREEMAN has only been a
short time here and will remain still shorter
time. During the stay she has already
made she has executed miniatures of some
of our ladies', with surprising skill; there is
one. among them Of the Presidents interest
ing and amiable daughter, Mrs. Bliss,
equally admirable as resemblance and a
painting. 1t does our citizens great honor
thus to encourage youthful genius ;-never-
theless, they may consider themselves as
the greatest gamers in 50 doing, for the OPP
portunity Of obtaining such pictures as are
produced by Miss FREEMAN is a very I'M
usual one, to say nothing of the pleasure
Of being painted by an artist of so much
worth and intelligence and beauty.

system to be ain unsafe machine to meet the
emergencies Of commerce under this highly
stimulated condition Of human labor. The
want Of confidence in the banking system, has
been growing steadily for the last twelve
years, and we think it is destined to be the
absolute death Of the whole thing, But,
Just as the public mind appeared to have a.
rived at the conclusion, that paper money
was unable to supply the wants Of commerce,
daily and hourly stimulated by new .discoye-
ries in labor-savng machines engaged in
overstocking the channels Of trade with their
products without continual danger Of explo-
sion, and was eagerly looking about for some
safe substitute, the announcement Of the
discovery Of the golden gardens Of Alta
California fell upon the astonished ear Of
the commercial and monetary world, and
every man at once saw, that God, in the
progress Of events, had led the human
race to a fountain Of values adequate to
all the increased and increasing exigencies
of commerce and manufacturing industry,
The supply of gold from California is, in our
opinion, destined to Danish all paper curren-
cy out of existence, as a monetary circnla-
ton. 1t is destined to fiji the void chan
nels Of values with a substance, not with
a shadow Prices, as they now exist, will
be maintained and may appreciate, but their
maintenance and appreciation will be upon
solid basis. The value Of gold may fall to
ten to one, or even FIVE to one Of silver, but
before this can occur, all the paper money Of
the world must go out Of existence, and
when that event takes place, as it surely
will, the trade and industry Of the world will
be ready 10 be accommodated to the new
state Of things that shall then arise.
We have left out Of view, in these re-
marks, the influence Of credit upon the bust
ness Of the world. The excessive supply
Of gold by the California region, will prevent
the necessity Of resorting to credit, as a foun-
tain whence to procure the representative Of
values, and SO, per force, the Banking sys-
TENS Of all countries must go down. Capt.
tai will no longer seek investment in pur-
suit that no longer presents the realization
of profits. But, be these things as they
may,-we think our views are indisputable,
--one thing is certain, national paper cur
rency can never obtain again in this republic.
The popular mind is dead against it, and no
party will ever be found, in our opinion, 50
lost to its own selfish interests, as to advo-
cate or attempt its restoration. Let the at
tempt be made, however, when it may, we
shall not hesitate to oppose it might and
main, as not required by the true interests
Of the country, and as an unconstitutional
measure in all its length and breadth.

and South Carolina.
COAST SURVEY STATION NEAR ANNAPOLIS, ND.
June lllh ls49.
STR:-I have received from Lieut. CONS
J. N. MAFFITT, U. S. NJ, Assist, in thu
Coast Survey, information in regard to thu
results Of reconnaissance made by him, whicl
are Of considerable importance to navigators
and which have the honor to lay before
you, with a view to their publication They
relate to cove, which has been formed
since lS45, by the extension Of Cape Hat
teras, to the inlet southwark and westward
Of Cape Hatteras, formed in 1916, and ia
the use Of Bulls Bay on the coast Of South
Carolina, as harbor Of refuge. Sketches
OF these Reconnaissance will be at once pub
lished
l. Haiieras Core lies to the westward
Of the extreme point Of Cape Hatteras, is
sheltered from the northeast and affords good
anchorage in four to FIVE fathoms water, with
bottom Of " soft blue mud" From the
anchorage, Hatteras light bears N. N. f.,
distant about one mile and a half Since
1915, the S. w. spit of Hatteras has made
out nearly three eighths Of a mile.
2. Hatteras Inlet is twelve miles to south
ward and westward Of the Cape. Twelve
feet can be carried overt the bar on the ocean
side, and there is secure anchorage in five
fathoms water. The entrance with a pilot
is easy. Lieutenant MAFFITT's statements
refer only to the use of the Inlet as harbor
Of refuge.
3. Bulls Bay is about twenty-three
miles North Of Charleston, on the coast Of
South Carolina. Thirteen feet can be car
ried across the bar at low water spring tides,
the rise and fall Of which is six and three
quarters feet. To enter bring the N. E.
bluff or point Of Bulbs Island to bear N. w.
by w. (by compass) and run for it. When
within three quarters of mile Of the point,
steer N. three quarters w. until it is passed.
Then follow round the shore and anchor at
pleasure i'm soft bottom.o g In leaving the
bay keep away until the outer spit is clear
ed, which bears S. E. by S. from the bluff
point Of Bulls Island distant three and a
quarter miles"

NATIONAL PAPER CURRENCY.

=
We have noticed, for some time past, an eff
fort. in one Of the New York journals, to revive
the exploded measure Of national paper
currency, to be based upon the public loans
Of the United States and the several States
The scheme appears to have received no
conntenance whatever from the public press,
and to have failed even to excite passing
remark, except in few instances, and in
those, astonishment was expressed, that any
man could be found so stupid in this enlight-
ened day as to advocate national paper
currency, upon any basis at all.
We care not what may be the name or
designs Of the party, which may be in pos
session Of the Executive department Of the
federal government, it is worth the price Of
its continuation in power, if it shall be found
to be in favor Of a national paper currency
As Mr.. Webster once said of National
Bank-it is an obsolete idea. No power on
this earth can breathe life into it again. The
masses are as much opposed to it, as they
are to royalty. Be it good or bad, be it
constitutional or not, national paper cur
rency can never find place and habita-
ton again in this republic. The temper Of
the public mind will never tolerate it again.
Even State paper currency is growing grad
ually into disrepute. One more general ex-
hibition Of the excuses of 1897, will forever
destroy State banks in this country. They
are machines, that are in direct violation Of
the provisions Of the constitution, even more
SO than National Bank is, and the time is
not far distant, when not one Of them will be
left upon the body commercial. All such
institutions are parasites upon the body com-
mercial They are not essential to the ex-
istence and spread ofcommerce, but the ex-
istence and spread Of commerce are essen
tial to the life Of them.
We have no intention Of dragging the read
er through the mazes Of the arguments, eth
er in favor or against national paper cur.
rency. An we desire TO say is, that, ever
admitting its benefits to the country and it
entire constitutonality, there is now no ne
cessity for resorting to its adoption, in GU
country. The discovery of the gold regioi
in California has put an end forever to tn
necessity Of representing values by pape
promises to pay That the industrial labo
of western Europe aud the United States o
North America, for the last hundred years
exceeded in amount the supply Of tn,
precious metals, which represented the val
ues Of that labor, no man, for moment
can doubt, and that the necessity Of som
medium, to supply the deficit, drove men int
the adoption Of paper currency, is equal
self-evident The stimulus given to the Ia
Dor of the human hands, by the employmel
Of steam power and machinery, during II
last fifty years, has increased the supply
the products Of that labor almost to an inl
mite degree, and il was the operation Of tn
cause, chiefly, that proved the baakir

FATHER MATHEw.-His life was insured several
years since for several thousand pounds, securi
~ for the expenses OF his temperance movement
fle received notice from the company that in going
to America he would have 10 pay fine Of 81 $50 for
the increased risk. Mr.. W. Rathbone, of Liverpool,
sent the good rar the sum of $4,000 saying that the
friends Of temperance should be responsible Tor the
debts which Its apostle contracted.
The scene at Cork upon Father Mathews depart
ing for America, on Saturday, was most exciting.
On the previous day the vicinity Of his house was
thronged by thousands. On Saturday morning
crowds of people assembled. There was great wall
ing and lnmentaton among the lower classes at the
fathers leaving them. He sailed for New York on
the 2lst ult., in the packet ship Ashburton.

New ENGLAND JuBLEE.--A writer in the New

semi-centennial jubilee of the sons of New England
be held the city of Boston in the fourth week OF
August, 1850, in which New Enganders and those
who have been educated in New England through
out the world shall be invited Join. The editor OF
the Journal introduces the article Of his correspond
ent with the following appropriate remarks:
The suggestions in the annexed communication
we think will be acceptable TO the Universal Yankee
Nation Scattered as are the members Of that great
family far and wide the country and throughout
the world IL in due to each other and their ancient
mother to gather around the old hearth stone once
in half century, and recount their varied expert
ence, call up "reminiscences Of the past, and cheer
each other on to fresh achievements. Such meet
ing, in the capital Of New England, would be one Of
the most interesting and memorable assembages
ever convened on this earth.

J. C. Calhoun on the CALIFORNIA; Railroad,
The last Memphis Eagle contains letter from J.
c. Calhoun In answer TO On invitation TO attend the
California railroad convention, which was proposed
to be held in Memphis on the 4th Of July, butwhich
has been postponed, on account OF the cholera until
the 10th Of October.
Mr. G. says that he considers the proposed rail
road to California as Of the greatest projects
the age, both in Its commercial and in It's potca
aspect But, he says, it remains TO be determined
whether it is practicable, and if So at what point on
the Mississippi, It should commence, and on what
plan il should be executed He snys that careful
connoisances and actual surveys of all the routes
should be made before determining these questions;
and that these selections Of the point on the Mssis
sippi should be made with reference to tho good Of
the whole Union, and not of any particular part Of
the Union. His letter closes with the following
paragraph.
But candor compes me to state there still remains
another and graver question for us of the South to
determine before are finally decide what course we
should take in reference to this great project and that
is what position are we TO occupy In reference TO
our territories on the Pacific acquired from Mexico
by the late treaty with her Are TO be excluded
from Them Are we after having spent SO much Of
our blood and treasure for their acquisition TO be de-
prived contrary to the provisions of the constiu
ton and In violation Of every principle of equity and
Justice of our equal right in fhem2 Are they to be
made the means of our humiliation and subsection
to the rest of the Union, instead of our prosperity
And, If SO, shall we still go on, and spend millions

aggrandizing the rest of the Union, at our own ex-
pense and for our subIection2 trust not. l trust
we shall pause until II Is ascertained how to
stand as TO those territories and the rest of the
