lowing =
1.-The news-boys who were arrested on
Sunday last, for selling newspapers on the
Sabbath, in violation Of the laws prohibiting
work on that day, were up before the Mayor
again yesterday, and after a f~arcical scene,
the whole party were discharged on a unani-
nous promise from the boys for themselves,
and their parents for them, not 10 do so again,
on pain Of the House of Refuge. Some of
the fathers and mothers, whom these young
sters help TO support, told tales of poverty
that were really distressing. One woman
declared that when her boy went out to sell
papers, last Sunday, she had not a morsel of
bread in the house. The pittance he made
by his sales, he brought home, and with it
she fed her little family. She added, that
she did not wish her son TO break the law
that he should not sell again on Sunday; she
would rather starve than see her son a law.
breaker, and she supposed she would have TO
starve, for she never would beg. This af-
f%scting speech was made with a sobbipp
heart, and the speaker, it was evident to ali
present, was a woman Of the true American
spirit. Another parent was a poor returned
soldier, who Informed the Mayor tina. be

Pennsylvania is fast becoming cirihzed.-
In Piisburg, they imprison the poor factory

shall esteem it a favor if you would attend

My convictions are, that the Church has
been, and still is, the bulwark and strong
hold of despotism in this country.
That a religion that can honor and elevate
to the highest Office in the gift of the people,
one whose hands are stepped in blood, is an
ti-chris,ian, and unworthy of support.

An Entering Wedge.

In connection with the subject of the railroad to the Pacific. we have heard some very reasonable suggestions made with regard to a mail over the route already selected and marked out. Should Con- gress comply with the wishes of the South wes, in aiding the construction of the proposed road, it will
 be years before it can be completed. In the time no occasion should be neglected to make known the superior advantages of the route through our State and to render it the great national thor oughfare. In order to accomplish this 1t has been proposed to make It the route of the United States mail to the Pacific. This mail is at present carried from New Orleans uia Chagres and Panama, to San Francisco, in from thirty to forty. and sometimes in bad weather, fifty days. The government is pay ing tsro handred and fty thousand dollars per an- nun for the contract. An enterprisiug contractor. who has consulted with some of the oldest and most knowing of the craft, assures that this mail can be carried through from Fort Smith to San Francisco ci0 Santa Fe, in twenty eight, days at cost of handred aud tcenfyfDe housaHd dolLars, just one half of what Is at present paid. We ex- pect in few days to be able 10 show these facts sta tistically. Could this ta route be established, it would be the means of growing up settlements in every eligible spot along the whole road. which, by the time the railroad built would afford to it pie protection against any Expectations from the Indians IL merits the attention of the delegates to the Memphis convention.

 A planter informed us yesterday, that he would not make one bale to six acres of cotton. A plan ter. in Madison, proposes 10 gin and bale 900 of cotton foe 100 bales. During the summer, another planter. residing near the vicksburg and Jackson railroad, turned out 300 acres of cotton as worthless. A gentleman who has travelled through the counties south Of Jackson, estimates tho crop at about one fourth the usual amount gathered - Such Is the melancholy condition of uee cotton crop in Mississippi.

Our state.


 Arkansas has within herself all the elements of greatness. Few States have been peculiarly fa- vored by nature Traversed and ntersected In every direction by large ncvigable rivers natural high ways every where presented, by which her pro- ducions may reach a market Her vales offer to the settler soil rich any in the great basin of the Mississippi. Her hills teem with an untold mineral wealth, and her climate is healthfa and as balmy the most fastidious invalid could sigh for. There are but two things that really waDt roads and schools; with such natural advantages they possess, if they had good roads our people must accumulate wealth. An easy access to ship plug points upon the navigabe streams would ena- ble each one to find a market for his surplus, and hold out continual incentive for greater exertious and increased productions. Of greater importance and pressing necessity is the want of schools The population has hitherto been sparse and too much scattered to secure the adoption of any per- manent common school system. The very great Increase of our population will now enable almost every county to establish for itself sufficient num- Der of primary schools. This should be speedily done. twill ensure not only the future happiness and welfare of the present rising generation, but will lay the foundation of the future greatness and 1 prosperity of our State.

We are no candidate for tho office, although personally known to the President and having. from time to time, bestowed much good counsel upon him in relation to the niqutOus proceedings of his cabinet aud his own silly acts, we doubt whether the second Washington would treat our application with the gratitude such efforts u his behalf deserve.

 Last week NJ. de Lamartine had assembled al his table several of his intimate friends before leaving for the Cote d'Of, where hs has offered for sale his paternal estate, which fortune does not permit him to retain. The author oi the Girondsts " seemed absent minded, but this sad pre-occupa'ion was easily attributed 10 the hard extremity 10 which he was reduced. and to the physical pains ot an acute rheumatism which had prevented his appearance at the National Assembly since hs election.

Alter that during the whole Tepast he wore a sad and dreamy air. and touched nothing until plate of meTtngueS id creme was placed under hls eye.

G. The Auburn Advertiser relates the following most miraculous escape:
 As Mfr Oliver Wheeler, of this city, was driving up Owasco street m buggy, in which was his vile and sister. on Tuesday afternoon. his horse became resise just before he reached the woolien iac- tory, ia consequence of which his wife made the effort to jump out. In attempting to prevent her, Mir. w. partially lost the management ofthe borSe, which suddenly sheeTed to the right, preeipltsting the whole party dow the bank oi the Cwasco 10 the distance of about one hundred feet The bank Is preelpltoas at the point at which they went that eoa:d not walk down, and though the horse in the descent rolled Mrs. w., striking her in the lace with of his shoes, neither of the party was seriously injured. Ailof them, however, were or less buri--Mrs Wheeler the most seriously Considering the distance they fell. and the fact that the whole weight ei ,he horse must have fallen upon Mrs. w., it Is certainly remarkable that neither ol them was killed, and remarkable that none oi them received any fatal injury.

This calculation has been made by men of intel ligence and, in round numbers, we have every req son to suppose it to be correct Some indeed, who have masy opportunities of knowing. express an opinion that it is under the amount, which has been shipped.
