From Chilli.

BY the arrival of the Georgia from Chagres
we have dates from Valparaiso TO the oath of
October The news is important We clip
the following paragraph from the Val paraiso
Neighbor of the oath:
The rains this year have been unusually
heavy and late in the season. On the Biobio
the water rose and carried away dwellings,
1t burst its banks also, and so overflowed the
country, that boats we're able to come up to
Conception from Tacahumana. 1t is said
in Valdivia to have rained steadily for twenty
six days in succession.
Mr. Allen Campbell, civil engineer, who is
experimenting the contraction Of the Rail
road from the port of Capiapo has visited this
Province, for the purpose of examining the
country between Valparaiso ard Santiago, in
reference 10 the construction of a Railroad
He started on the I4th inst, to go up the
valley of the Concon river, to learn if that
route be sufficiently pracable to warrant sur
a survey
The Hamburg bark Steinwearder was
spoken off Cape Horn, (date not given.) She
had lost her foremast, bowspirit and rudder.
This vessels sailed May 28th, from Cuxhaven,
with emigrants for Valdivia, and cargo for
Valparaiso They are Germans; and, it is to
be feared had great amount Of suffering t"
endure. 1t appears remarkable that vessel
spoken in such a distressed condition should
have been left.

Census.

The population of the Ward, as ascertain
ed by the late census is 3,772 The number
of inhabitants in l645 was 27,25S: the in
crease, therefore, in five years is 16,513-
We have now the returns from all the Wards
in the City but three-the Third, Fifthteenth
and Sixteenth. The aggregate population of
those Wards in which the enumeration is
completed is 43O,I24. The three wards to be
heard from in 1845 had 7I,672 inhabitants.
1fthey number AS many now, the population
of the City will be 5lO,6O7. The Third and
Fifth Ward will show large increase; the
Sixteenth Ward has been divided since l845.
There is fair show for at least $4,000.

Mind against Mind,

There is stIong disposition in men of op-
posite minds to despise each other A grave
man cannot conceive what is the use of wit in
society: person who takes strong common
sense view of the subject, is for pushing out
by the head and shoulders, an ingenious the
orist, who catches at the slightest and faintest
analogies; and another man who scents the
ridiculous from afar, will hold no commerce
with him who tests exquisitely the finer feel
ings of the heart and is alive to nothing else !;
whereas talent is talent, and mind is mind, in
all its branches! Wit gives to life one of its
best iavors; common sense leads to immedi-
ate action, and gives society its daily motion
large and comprehensive views its annual ro-
tation; ridicue chastises folly and impudence,
and keeps men in their proper sphere; sub
tley seizes hold of the fine threads of truth
analogy darts away to the most sublime discov-
cries; feeling paints all the exquisite passions
of mans soul, and rewards him by thousand
inward visitations for sorrows that come from
without God made it all, it is all good. We
must despise no sort of talent; they all have
their separate duties and uses, all the happi-
ness of man for their object, they all improve,
exat, and gladden. life. Sidney Smith.

GRAND LOcofOcO Peace Plaster.

The national Locofoco organ, the Washing.
ton Union,. proposes to heal up all the new
wounds caused by the compromise measures
in their bad attempt, to cure the old bruises,
by the following grand specific. 1t recon-
mends that the members Of Congress should
combine to exclude or refuse to receive any
petitions or memorials asking for the repeal OF
modification of any of the compromise meas
ures This is an oldreceipt for quieting anti
slavery agitation, and was tried with the worst
of luck by Athcrton and Weller, in the days
Of John Quincy Adams. The New York Evn-
ing Post well says:
SHOULD Congress refuse to receive pcti
tions which respectively ask for modification
of any of the laws passed at the last session
of Congress, relating to slavery there woulo
not be slave in the United States, in ter
years from the day such an indignity was of
fered to the American people"

Simple Questions,

Peter Simple in the Boston Post, is pro-
pounding such simple questions as these:
l. What would be The number, annually,
Of runaway negroes from the Slave States in
case of secession or dissolution?
D. How many fugitive slaves would be re-
turned to their masters?
g. Would merchants and others be able tc
collect their debts due in other States?
4. Would murderers, robbers. DC, flee from
one State to another. and if so, how would
they be brought to justice?
5. Would there be any smuggling?
g., What would become of the ships an ma
terial' of the navy and army?
Z. Would European nations, holding stocks
and demands in this country, take our ships
and other property wherever they could find
it?
g. In case war should be declared by 9th,
er nations against us,would the several States
for mutual protection, form new eonfedera
cy?
9. If so, what would be the amount of loss
sustained by our folly?
10. Would Americans be ashamed while
travelling in Europe?
IL. Did Mr. jackson, British emissary
come to this country about the time of the
formation of our government?
as H. If so, what steps did Gen. Washington
take in regard to him?

With regard to German affairs, there seems

That TUrkeV.

About O'Clock on Christmas morning, We
were sitting in our editorial sanctum, with per
in hand, intending to write something desper
ate in relation to the hard hearted,less anC
uncharitaJleness of the inhabitants of thi:
world in general, and ofour subscribers in par
ticular,-thinking Of the many good things II
this life, and especially of the number of fine
fat and sleek turkeys that would be destroy
ed by the 'favore few and of our inability
to procure one of those life preservers, that we
might enjoy Christmas with the "rest of Man
kind, when some one laid an ominous look
ing bundle on our table, accompanied with the
following note:
Mr.. EDITOR:
As Printers funds are sometimes seant
And fearing that you might be in want,
And thus your form grow thinner,
send this TURKEY, hastily,
That you can mingle it with pa, (pie,)
And have a Christmas dinner.
We Immediately consigned our ill-natured
article to the flames, and concluded that this
is not so bad a world after all & that there are
still some noble hearts left in it, who appre-
ciate the wants of an editor. We thank our
friend Crowell for his timely present. as we
otherwise should have went Turkeyless or

can has information from the South of Florida
of late date, which states that the prospect
of the removal of the Indians is becoming
better. Sam Jones has been seen and con-
versed with, and as usual shows no disposition
to remove Interviews have likewise been
had with Billy Bowlegs, who appears more
disposed than usual, and says but for the in

In the biography of Fisher Ames, written
by the late Professor Kirkland, the following
Just and beautiful sentiment occurs:
When vice approaches the youthful mind,
in the seductive form of beloved companion,
the ordeal becomes threatening and dangerous
in the extreme. Few possess the prudence
and unyielding irmness requisite TO pass it in
safety Those who have been accurately OBJ
servant to the dependence of one part of life
on another, will readily concur with US that
Ames' future character derived much of its
Iustre, and his fortunes much of their elevation,
from the untainted purity and irreproachable-
ness of his youth Masculine virtue is as nee
essary toreaI eminence as powerful intellect,
He that is deficient in either will never, unless
from the influence of fortuitous circumstances,
be able to place and maintain himself at Il e
head of society. He may rise and flourish for
time, but his fall is as certain as his decent
to the grave. He who holds parley with vice
and dishonor is sure to become their slave and
victim. That heart is more than halfcorrupt-
ed that does not burn with Indignation at the
slightest attempt to seduce it.

that Congress should act on the mass of impor-

A California correspondent of the New York
Herald, thus refers TO the scarcity of females
in that State. He says:
When we used to read the accounts in the
accounts in the papers of the miners dancing
around an old bonnet which they found in the
road we set it down as fiction; but l can
assure you that there is young physician liv-
ing on the ToNlomne river, who has made an
independent fortune by exhibiting dress
worn by female: it is said, with how much
truth do not know, that every Saturday
night the door of his rancho is besieged by
the Miners, like the doors of a theatre, every
one endeaVoring to procure front seat, and
good view of the exhibition.
