The Committee on Territories in the
House Of Representatives reported the

by the notorious Sawyer Of Ohio. who
moved that the Proriso be stricken out.
This motion was rejected presently

Missouri Compromise to the Pacific-but
it was voted down:

The House fixed the Pror;so to the

The Bill being perfected. nearly as re-
ported. by the Committee on Territories,

Satirzing her despair
With the en,blems woven there.'

'Well, sir said the Bey, what have YOU to
say to that! Is it not full and concIusive?'
Entirely soj but it does not apply to us.
We are not an European power
THAT, sir said the British consul, lis a
mere evasion of the spirit of this section of our
treaty. 1t was intended to apply, and does APP
ply, to all Christian powers
very probably, sir; but we are not a Chris
tan p%ower!' The whole court locke amazed .
The Bey raised himself up from his cushions,
took a hearty pinch Of snuff from a splendid
diamond box, and gave us an anxious and in
quiring LOOK.
How will you make that appear, air?' said
the British consul.
very easily, sir We then read the follow
ing section from our treaty with Tripoli;
'As the United States is in no manner a
Christian government, and entettains no hos
tilIty towards any denomination, it is hereby
understood that no disturbance shall arise be-
tween the two powers on any religious ques-
tion.'
1t was useless to argue the point further
We did not in any shape come within the pur-
view of that treaty, So permission was given to
land the goods; and the ships and cargoes, CON
sisting Of every variety Of merchandise, were
sold in a single day. The consul sent for a
British blockading squadron from Malta; but
the prlvateer slipped out of the bay, ran up the
Archipelago, destroyed nearly two millions Of
British property, was chased round the Medi-
terraneon by two ships Of the line and two fri
gates, escaped through the Gut Of Gibraltar,
and arrived home safely.
The of any power would, by this
private marine, be utterly destroyed in a wal
with the United States; and all the navy o
Great Britain could not blockade ports so al
to prevent Privateers from escaping. w,
should find them on the Atlantic, the Pacific
in the Indian oceans, the Baltic, and the Med
iterEanean, They would be everywhere.

CHINESE IN SAN FRANCISCO.

Among the strange group going to make up
the population Of San Francisco, not the least
remarkable are the emigrants from China. A
letter says:
At least rs houses have been imported from
Canton, and are put up by Chinese carpenters.
Nearly all the chairs in private families are Of
Chinese manufacture and there are two res.
%taurauts in the town, kept BY Kong-sung and
Wang-tong, where very palatable chow-chow
curry and tarts are served up by the CeIestials.
Another account says: We are so FORUM
ate as to be located in a section Of the town
where large numbers Of the Chinese have
pitched their tents, and we have remarked with
much interest the character and habits OF
these people. From early morn until late in
the evening thess industrious men are engaged
in their occupation of house builders, of which
a great many have been exported from China;
and the quietness and order, cheerfulness and
temperance which is observable in their habits
is noticed byeveryO one, Search the city through
and you will not ind an idle Chinaman and
their cleanliness exceeds that of any other
people we ever saw.
The buildings brought from China ale gem
orally twenty feet square-ope story in height
and twelve feet from floor to ceiling. The TIM
bers are roundand many ofthem very crooked.
We have noticed in several instances the erec-
ton of China buildings Of double the size des-
cribed above-but we suppose that in such
cases two separate frames are erected. together,
thus forming a single building. The first
movement after raising the frame is to attach
the window, which consists Of a frame and
blinds, without the sash. The blind is so
constructed as TO close itself by it's own weight
the olat being Of double width out side
Their timber is very uniform in size, and about
six or eight inches in diameter. The boards
are well seasoned, and resemble American CO.
dor. The price Of a Chinese building, such
as we have described, including the erection,
is $500. The building, however, consists
simply of the frame and covering. They are
brought from HOng.KOng.

MARRIED AND SINGLE.

l. Is not to be contended that there are no
crimes committed by married men, nor that
married men have no faults; for facts wonld
look such an assertion out Of countenance,
But i may be said with truth, that there are
very few crimes committed by married men
compared with the number committed by those
VINO are unmarried. Whato,e r faults Voltairo
may have had, hc showed himself a man Oh
sense when he said, THE more married man
you have, the fewer crimes there will be.
Marriage renders a man more ~yirtuous and
wlse.' An unmarried man is but half Of a
perfect being, and It requires ahe other half 10
make things right; and it cannot be expected
that in this imperfect state he can Keen the
straight path Of rectitude, any more than a boat
with one oar, or . bird with one wing, can
keep a straight course.
In nine cases out of ten, where married men
become drunkards, or when thew COMM,
crimes against the peace Of the community,
the foundation Of these acts was laid while In
a single state, or where the wife is, as 10 some
times the case, an unsuitable match. Marriage
changes the whole current ola mans feelings.
and gives him a centre for his thoughts. his
affections, and his acts. Here Is a home for
the entire man, and the counsel, the affection,
the example, an" the interests Of his better
half keep him from esratic courses, and Il, n
falling into a thousand temptations to which
he would otherwise be exposed. Therefore,
the friend to marriage is the friend to society
and his country, as well as to domestic nappl-
ness.
And we have no doubt but a similar effect
is produnedby marriage on the woman; though
from the different structure of the mind in the
two sexes, the difference in their labors, and
the greater exposure to temptation on the part
OF the man, we have no doubt bnaahe, reaps a
greater advantage from the \ infu-
ences of marriage, than woma hut as
Deity said, at a very early exis-
tence Of human beings, 1T is nataaood fol-
either to be alone.'

Mike Hooters Fight with the Bar
On the Yazoo river there is a precinct of
iniquity, aspiring to the name of town, called
! %atartia. In the vicinity the country abounds
in high hills and tracklesS wilds, the habita-
ton of wild beasts and wilder population .
The country though old, is yet a wilderness,
and the DIV ellers therein, who partake Of the
nature of the region they inhabit, make sport
and profit by hunting, unto staying, their 1T
tie less civilized brethren, the beasts.
Among the primitive jewellers In the wilder
ness lives, or lived, one Michael Hooter, a
mighty hunter before the lord,' and his game
was Bear.' Mike was a kind Of unfedeed or
primitive preacher too, and at prayer and camp
meetings, where bombast passed current for elm
q%uence, and loud outing for the fervor OF
sanctimonious zeal, he sbone efuIgent, chief
OF exhorters. On account Of his bowling pro
pensities the hill boys called him EMike Shout

not scruple to hint that bear hunting was his

Lines on the death of Gen. worth,
~ G. W. crTTRR.
Oh! let the solemn minute gun
Arouse the morning raw.
And only with the setting sun,
It's echoes die away.
Oh, let our banner from the skies.
Like autumn glory fall,
To shed its ever changing dyes
Around the sable pail.
The mufHed drum, the waiting fife,
An let them murmur low,
o'er him who was their breath of life,
The solemn notes of woe:
For oh they can alone import
The sorrow Of the brave,
When the idol of the soldiers heart
Is followed to the grave.
At Chippewa and Lundy's Lane,
On PoIaklaba's field,
Around him fell the crimson rain,
Inc battle thunder pealed;
But proudly did the soldier gaze
Upon his daring firm,
When charging DER the cannon's blaze
Amid The solphurstorn.
'Upon The heights of Monterey,
Again The flag unroIlel,
, And when the grope-shot rent away
It's latest starry fold,
His plumed cap above his head,
He waves upon the air,
And cheered the gallant troops he led
To glorious victory there.
But ali the dreadful seal is broke,
In darkness walks abroad,
The pestilence whose silent stroke
Is like the doom Of God.
And the hero by its fell decree,
Ia death is sleeping now,
With the laurel wreath of victory
SILL gwen epon his brow.
His monument will be the roar
By ola Magma made,
The waves of lovely Tampa's shore,
The silent evergIad7,
The top of Orazaba, white
With everlasting snow,
Sierra Madre's lonely height
The towers of Mexico!
Fair eyes shall weep his early doom,
Fairhands shall often bring
And offer at his sacred tomb
The dewy flowers Of spring;
And with the ranks twas his to lead
Shall ever live his fame,
While history treas 1res up a deed
That's worth eternal fame.
