The Lind Fever.

The Lind fever RACES rs violently rs ever at
the authority of BARNUM himself, that JENNY
LIND will, previous to her departure for Europe,
give one concert in Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo
Rochester, Syracuse and Utica, and two ir
Albany. Also, that Mr.. b. has engaged JOSEPH
BURKE, the violinst, to accompany Miss LIND
during the residue of her tarry in this country.
The New York Mirror goes into commissions
of ecstacy thus:
We believe the London Times and New York
Herald have failed to trace the Lind dcmonstra-
ton to the right cause. The excitement cannot
properly be credited to the American press, only
80 far as it was the organ through whose agency
the goodness of Miss Lind was communicated to
the people of the United States. The Swedish
Nightingale has become celebrated throughout
the country for her uncxampled charity; for that
reason thousands were anxious to behold her,
who otherwise would never have attended her
concerts. This is an element in her brilliant
career, which the Times does not comprehend.
1t is impossible to describe the enthusiasm
which Jenny Lind has created in the minds Of
our people, and especially the religious portion
of them, by the unaffected kindness of her heart
IL Is Illustrated III lne TcHlaTh vi WIN
the first time she saw her, the tears started to
her eyes, and she felt an irresistible desire to
encrcle Jenny's waist with her arms and kiss
her.
The same airresistible desire" has often been
inspired by young ladies not so vocal as Miss
JENNY-though the fact is stated as something
very singular. The reflections Of the Mirror are
true to nature in this But even the Puritan
Recorder like its namesakes old, owns to being
be-witched, and stamps her musical orthodoxy by
strain of purtanc praise.
What would CoTToN MATHER, famed for his
short and easy method of dsposing of witches
have thought of such illusions to "a singing
woman!'
JENNY LlND.-Our memory is still, and long
will be, vocal with her unforgotten notes; and
particularly with her execution of Handers
master-piece-" know that my Redeemer
liveth." To hear her performance was like lis
tening to n most solemn confession Of faith from
all the pious dead who are sleeping in Jesus
In listening to those strains one might we'll
have said to her, even thanking Shelley for the
words,
NV soul is an enchanted boat
Which, like sleeping swan, doth float
Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing;
And thine doth like an angel sit
Beside the helm conducting it,
While all the winds with melody are ringing.

Crumbs of Comfort,

The submission papers of the South not be-
ing able, unfortunately, to derive aid and com
fort" to their cause from What is done at the
North, seek forlorn consolation from what the
President and other Northern gentlemen say.
In addition to the letter to Mr. COLLINS paraded
conspcuously in all these prints, we find the fol-
lowing additional crumb of comfort in the Geor
gia papers:
The Griffin Wing says that General Twggs
passed through that place on Sunday the End
inst, on his way South, and that in conversation
with gentleman he related the following:
Gen. Twiggs having been on tour in the
Northern States, and on his way South, came
through Washington. Having never seen Mr..
Fillmore, he desired to do so, and called on him.
No person being present to give him an intro
duction, he approached and said, /" am General
Twiggs of Georgia" The President received
him kindly, and they commenced conversation,
during which the General mentioned the excite
ment in the Northern States in opposition to the
Fugitive slave law, and referred to the fact that
an organization had been formed in Boston,
with the determination to resist the law and
prevent its execution if any attemp. should be
made to enforce it in that city. TO which Mr..
Fillmore replied to about this affect:
General Twiggs the people of Boston ought
to know that they cannot nullify law Of Con-
gress, while am President. If they act so silly
as to resist the officers in the execution of the
law, and become too strong to be controlled by
the civil authorities, l hare no doubt but that the
United States regulars ,cW bring them 10 their
senses in q short Time"
Your IF" is mighty peacemaker, truly
We do not, and never have blamed the Pre-
- Co.,
reasons already given-but this kind of talk in
the teeth of the Crafts case is really ludicrous,
rather than tragic.

90 We find in the baltimore Palriot this

gY- We find in the Baltimore Patriot thil
notice of the author Of one of the best Ameri
can novels we have ever read
The following just criticism we take from the
Methodist Protestant, whose opinion, in such
matters, cannot be questioned:
+. w. THOMAS, EsQ.-This gentleman, IA
vOrably known in the walks of literature, and
who has recently taken up his residence in
Baltimore, gave lecture last week at the MUIR
ray Institute of this city, OH Oratory in Gene
raj, and OIL the Oratory Of Summertield and
Bascom in particular.
Lectures on oratory are mostly fulsome af-
fairs. Those who attempt the theme generally
seem to suppose it necessary that they should
be themselves personal illustrations of the SUI
periority of their peculiar theories. A lecture
upon oratory, therefore, is generally little more
than succession of very desperate and very
abortive efforts to play the orator. Indeed we
have scarcely ever, Of late yeats, heard any
thing of this kind that did not give us a slight
spasmodic twitch of what plain spoken man
would call-disgust.
1t was not so with the lecture of Mr. Thomas
Its striking popularity was common sense, or
rather uncommon sense. He held his audience
breathless for more than an hour, and yet did
not seem to be TRYING TO DO IT. His theory of
oratory may be comprised in single word-NATU-
RALNEss. This theory, enforced with the illus
trations and reflections and criticisms of Mr.
Thomas, could not fail to make its impression
on the young men of the Lyceum, aud guard
them against that imitation and mounting which
are so generally destructive of the happest effect
in public speaking. On the whole, this was the
best lecture we ever heard upon the subject of
public speaking, and we only regret that our
space does not allow general analysis of its
subject-matter.

CHOLERA AT INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.-The
Louisville Courier, of the 18th instant, learns
that the cholera or n similar disease, has broken
out at Indianapolis, Indiana, and created quite a
panic among the members of the Convention
there assembled. The first victim was person
who arrived from Madison in the cars, on the
18th, and died that night. J. s. Johnson, CO.
lored barber, who shaved the deceased, was next
taken and died in four hours. Mr. Van Ben
Thuson, Of Shelby county, Indiana, the oldest
member of the Convention, was also attacked
and died early on the l4th. Another man,
whose name was not known, also died The
Sergeant-at-Arms to the Convention was very
i'll, when the cars left indianapolis on the l4th,
and not expected to recover. 1t was thought
the Convention would adjourn on the 18th.

One OF the Mobile papers says:


DIRECT TRADE.-At the n,oo,;.,. g A.
Southern Rights Association last Monday n;oht
committee was appointed TO enquire into The
expediency, cost, &c, of building eight steam.
propellers, capable of carrying 5000 bales of
cotton, with view of promoting direct trade
between Mobile and Europe.
The Charleston Mercury contains the follow
ing suggestions: I.Lg -aH
STEAM PACKETS TO EURoPE.---The project of
line of steam packets between Charleston and
Liverpool has been taken up in earnest by some
of our most substantial and public spirited citi-
zens, and under auspices which justify the
strongest hopes of a successful result. Facts
and estimates have been furnished by gentlemen
oflarge experience and eminent practical ability,
which demonstrate that, as a mere pecunlary
speculation, this enterprise offers assurance OF
fair remuneration, and that without going be-
yond our present abundant materials OF com
merce, which now give profitable employment
to the commercial marine of a section which de-
votes its gains to the support of an embittered
and systematic hostility, not only to our pros
perity, but to our very existence. That the ef-
feet of such an enlargement of our means OF
foreign trade would form new era in the com
mercial and business prospects OF our city, we
need not undertake to demonstrate. IL IS mani
lest InaJ Wltnn Tie UNION Stcsiul
affords the only hope of saving remnant OF our
foreign trade from the devouring influence OF
that Capitalization of which the South has been
so long the victim. 1t is equally manifest, that
out of the Union, the power of the South TO
maintain her independence, and give full value
to her vast resources, will be essentially aided
by preparation equally adapted to the eXl-
pencies of war and peace. 1t would be an as
sertion of our independence by means most
efIectual for maintaining it. 1t Is not merely
therefore, as temporary or pecuniary advantage
to our city, that this project addresses Itself TO
the cordial approval and support of the people
of South Carolina. II has the highest public
considerations in its favor.
From the same paper we also clip this expla-
nation:
NORTH CAROLINA COAsTERs.-The Newbern
(N c. Republican, after stating that the people
of Beaufort. N. C. are fittiug out coasters for
the rice trade of our State, intimates the possi-
bility that our police laws might interfere with
the owners navigating them with their own
slaves 1t is important that it should be under
stood, that the police laws of South Carolina
were intended in no sort MS precaution against
the introduction of slaves, either for permanent
settlement or temporary employment. The
owners of slaves in North Carolina can employ
them in our coasting trade, as freely as our own
citizens 1t is only "free colored persons who
come under the restrictions Of our police laws.

Thig District.

The selfish fears of the people OF Washington
have been appealed to repeatedly by the Com
promsers, who have claimed to represent their
interests in putting down the opponents of that
measure, who in fact are their only true friends
as events will shortly show.
Since the passage of the Suppression" bill
here, and the assertion thereby of the right of
Congress to manumit slaves in the District
brought here for sale they hold their property
of this sort only by sufferance-for who regards
the threats of men who buster only for the
purpose of backing out.
How long that sufferance will be allowed by
the intermeddlng spirit of Northern fanatcism,
the following among other pregnant paragraphs
in Northern prints will show. We take it from
the Buffalo Republic, paper published at the
home of Mr.. FILLMORE!
The Mayor of Washington has issued pub
lie notice, that free negroes residing in that
CITY, who have not given bonds and security to
become no burden on the Corporation, will be
fined and imprisoned according to the law of
1927.
If there is any law of the character here al
luded to, il requires lille Legislative ti'akering
Is it in the capital of this nation crime or mis-
deneanor for negro to be free? Else why
should he thus be required to give security for
his conduct? Such q law would disgrace the
statute book Of Russia.
"The we'll known fable of Esop," touching
the Wolf and the Lamb, will surely be verified,
and would speedily be so, but for the salutary
restraint imposed by the dread of the denounced
and slandered /" Southern Agtators."
