4 New State.

The policy of the administration, as laid
down in the California message by Gen. Tay-
lor, has been amply vindicated by the course
of the people of New Mexico in adopting a
constitution prohibiting slaUerg, and presenting
herself with it in her hand, and asking admiS-
sion into the Union The policy of the Pes
ident was, as will be recollected, to leave
the organization of the new Territories at
rest for the present, in confidence and when
they did become ready to offer constitutions
they would be such as the free people of the
Union would accept and approve through
their constituted representatives. Before Con-
gress can gain time TO pass upon the main
question (the admission of California; which
drew forth the suggestions of the President,
those suggestions are fortified and strength
ed by the application for admission of one of
the Territories to which those suggestions had
reference, with constitution prohibiting sla-
very for eUer. Congress should he advised
by this popular movement, and should apply
to It's own action, and for its own benefit, the
rigid moral which it inculcates. Let the
friends of the administration rally nolo upon
the administrative pian.-Det. .3du.

Il. Ehil1ceros.

The RhiaccoGoa is q native Of Asia ard All
ca, and is usuaIly found in those extensive
forests that are f..euented by the Elephant
and lion. This animal is found in Bengal,
Siam, Sumatra, cave, Abyssinia and about
Ehe Cape of Coed Hope. But the species is
not as numerous. OF 50 universally spread, rs
that fthe Elephant.
Tie Rbinocerous, in nature, is much like
the hog; blunt, granting without intellect, ami
without aptness ro be taught. Like the hog
ne is much incIired to wallow in the mire.-
Being fond Of darap, marshy places, he sell
dom leaves the b..uls Of rivers. lie is not
useful to men, IiEe the Elephant, but rather
Injurious, as he makes great destruction in
fields of grain. &C..
lie feeds upon herbs, lhis,les, and prickly
shrubs, and seems TO prefer this wild food 70
the sweet pasture.of the meadow. lie is fond
of sugar cane, ans also eats all sorts of grian.
Having no taste for flesh he does not modest
small animals, ans. does not even fear the lar
. ger ones. Though he lives upon vegetables,
he does not chew the cu3.
Next to the Elephant, 81 Rhinoceros is the
most powerful ot all quadrupeds. He is
twelve feet in Iergtl, from the extremely O
the snout to the tails is six or seven feet in
height; and has body nearly equal in cir
cumference to its .engsh.
Though he is really equal 10 the Elephan,
in bulk, he appears much smaller, because his
legs are much shorter in proportion to his
size. lie Is covered with rough naked skin
which lies upon his body in two folds. 1t is
similar in color to sho skin ofthe elephant, be-
ing Of a dirty brown color, but is much thick
CT and harder. lie IS never troubled with
bites Of flies and tsosketoes, OF stings Of bees
for his hide Is so taicil and hard, that It wiz
resist even a mussct ball.
The Rhinoceros takes its name from the
horn en- lis nose-Gr rin, nose, and ker-
as, horn. This horn grows from the ami
mails snout sometimes from three to four feet
in length, and SIX or seven inches IN diameter
at the base. 1t Is commonly Of brown or ol-
i've colort yet some are gray and very white,
some of these animals have two horns on the
nose: one situated above The other, the upper
one being the smallest.
It's with this weapon that the Rhinoccros
defends himself. This horn is composed OF
very solid substance, and pointed, SO as to
infict the most llta' wounds. He has 10
cause for fear, as he is defended on every side
with 4 thick, horny hide which the claws Of
the Tiger and the Lion are unable TO pierce,
and armed in front with weapon that even
the Elephant does not choose to attack.
