SALiAbthhp ~. II august, lSoo
To the Hon. DANIEL WEBsrEa:
1t has occurred to US, the undersigned, that while
commentator is reaching you from all quarters
Of our common country, for your recent exertions
in behalf Of the Union and Constitution, token of
birth, from the home of your youth and the scenes
OF your earlier professional efforts, would not be
unao ceptable.
We cannot allow this occasion to pass without
assuring you Of our unaltering confidence and re-
sPect; without assuring you that your Old neigh
bors and their descendants are ready to perorm In
their constitutional duties a to vindicatc their
rights that devoted to the Union it lei;
that adhere to the whole Constitution; and that.
while VIC trust in its protection, will uphold its
power.
Your recent labors to remind distracted peo-
pie OF the duties which they owe To a common
country, and the blessings which they derive from
a common Constitution, are in our Judgment, as
important as any which you have performed in a
long public service, crowned that service has
been with unsurpassed ability and success.
To you, more than to any statesman Of modern
times do the people Of this country owe their
tenal feeling, which we trust is to their Union
in this It's hour OF trial.
We have carefully considered what you have
aaid and proposed and, we understand the mat
ter, you are now upon the same ground when,
twenty years ago, you crushed notification.
Now, as thon, In spite OF local prejudices and
factions, sound constitutional and national princi-
plea will preval and if the voice of general com
mendation is occasionally broken by impoient CEN
sure, 1t will not disturb you, because II must
mind you that it is faction, and not the Union,
which is overthrown.
Respectfully, your friends and fellow citizens,

There have been few, international compacts ne
gotated and concluded so important in their bear
ings on the Interests of all maritime nations, yet
with SO little noise or ostentation, as the Treaty
lately concluded in this city between the British
Minister and our Secretary Of State, and now rati
fed by their respective Governments, relative to
Nicaragua and the contiguous territories of Central
America. How, in particular detail, the provisions
Of this treaty offer benefits to other commercial ma
tons, will soon appear by the PRONUNCIATION of the
document itself. Our present purpose is merely to
make our readers acquainted with the great extent
and value of the countries of Central America,
hitherto pretty much terra incognito,) on which
this Treaty of Nicaragua will be the means of con-
ferrng higher civilization and great advancement
in physical improvement, wealth, and social cond-
ton. This purpose we propose to effect by copy
ing the annexed interesting article, which we find
in the last received number of the Westminster
Review.

HANDLING MoLTEN LEAD AND IRos.-The Boston Ira
weller says experiments similar those recently made in
France, by which molten lead and iron are handled with en-
tire mpunty the hands and being boldly immersed in
the boiling liquids have been tried with equal success at the
scientific school, Cambridge fortutous circumstance dis
covered that the apparently wonderful results nothing
but the simple effect Of what called the pheroda condition
OF water or moisture The theory of the thing is that when
the metal has attained high degree Of heat changes the
moisture the hand the tongue, into globues
spheroda FORMS which prevent the immediate contact Of the
iron with the skin The experiments to DO repeated be-
fore the Natural History Society Of Boston soon So they

TREsPAssERs ON THE PUBLIC LANDs.-The i'm
mense value Of the timber stolen from the United
States every year may be judged Of by the fact that
the District Attorney of Michigan recently reported
to the Solicitor of the Treasury that he had auho-
rized the marshal to seize some twelve millions of
feet of lumber, sawed and in the log, lying at diff
ferent saw mills in the State, all taken by trespas-
sers from Uncle Sans land.
A case has just been decided in the United States
District Court of Alabama where Daniel Gore, Of
Tuscaloosa county, was fined $500 and imprison-
ment for cutting 400 pine trees from the public lands.
The following points were decided by the case:
lst That the cutting removing from the public lands
any timber Of any description ndctable and punishable by
fine and imprisonment.
3D. That the entry Of the lands by the epasse after the
trespass is no bar to the Indictment
3d. That the statute of limitation does begin run till
FIVE years after the trespass.
The imprisonment in the above was by the Judge,
made merely nominal the suggestion Of the United States
District Attorney.
The judgment in the above is strengthened and con-
rmed by recent decision Of the Supreme Govt of the Uni
ted States, at Washington, appeal from the United
States Circuit Court of the district Of Michigan Tue United
States Supreme Court in that decision says:
The cutting and using oak and hickory is ndable;
and the cutting and using any other description Of timber
from the public lands would be equally ndcable and
being the punishment by fine and imprisonment must fol-
low in all cases"

What Next!

If the following, which we take from the
Charleston Mercury, of the 2lst ult., is not the
true, unauthorized, and real American protec-
tive system, then we are no judges. 1t is a most
sensibly expressed article and contains, in a nut
she'll, the whole doctrine in fayer Of home in
dustry. We shall soon expect to see South
| Carolina throw up her hat, and shout for a TIA
riff of protection.
encourage your own Mechanics.-Do not
send abroad for help if you have work to do,
whenit can be done in your W neighborhood
perhaps at your next door. Encourage your
own honest, industrious, faithful mechanics.
They need all the work they can get. BY such
a course, you keep money at home, assist the
worthy, and have just as good work performed.
It is the only way to make a town prosperous
Ito support your schools and Churches
| Where there is a disposition to send a hundred
miles for articles that, to say the least, could be
manufactured as we'll at your own door, there
viii always be little or no business done in the
p~lace--the churches will be thinly attended,
| and all kinds of labor extremely dull Wher-
ever mechanics are the best employed, prosper
itv is seen-the social virtues predominant,
travelling mountebanks and pedlars retire in
disgust, and kindly, brotherIy feeling is expe-
rienced, which is the source Of unspeakable
happiness. :,
"Whatever you have to be done, look around
and see if your neighbors cannot do it. fyou
have a house to build or a shoe to tap, a har-
ness to be made orr pump to be bored, a pack
Of cards to be printed or a well to be dug, just
look among your neighbors, before you under
take to send abroad; and if you have none
around you capable Of the task, it will be time
enough to look elsewhere. 1t is a wrong idea,
to suppose nothing is serviceable that is made
at home. We know of many instances where
men have refused to purchase work made by
their %neighbors, and sent to a distant city for
the articles they needed, and paid a third more
for them, when behold! they had been manu-
featured and sent away to sell by the very
neighbors of whom they refused to purchase.
"Let it be the motto of ALL will encourage
my own neighbors. In turn you will be en-
couraged also. A mutual feeling of good will
and kindness wal spring up in your midst, and
prosperity will be observable in every street
and in every dwelling"

The FATE OF GENIUs.-There is in this
city, says the Boston Mail, ali old man of sixty,
who graduated at the University Of Dublin, Ire
land, at the age OF twenty-five, was admitted as
a surgeon in the British army, and in that ca
pacity visited this country with the English;
was present at the destruction of The public
buildings, stores, &c, at Washington city; has
been in india with the British army; has been
present, during his service as a surgeon, at over
four thousand amputations, and fifteen severe
battles; was shot twice, performed surgical
operations on tAree wounded generals, seven
colonies, twenty captains, and over eleven thou
sand officers of smaller grade, &c, has dined
with two kings; one Empress, one Emperor, The
Sultan, a Pope, innumerable great generals, &c.
Has held in his hand the largest diamond in
the world except one. Has had the British
crown in his hand. Has been married three
times, Il father of eleven children; all Of whom
he has survived. Broken down by disease, too
poor to live without employment, and too
proud to become a pauper, he sailed in an emf
grant vessel to this country three years ago;
and this man ofremarkabie adventures, classic
education, master of four languages, sixty
years of age, poor, old, decaying, is now ped
ding oranges and apples in the streets in this
city! We know what we are--yerily we know
not what we may be G

JENNY LasD's GENERosTTY.-The munifcence
of Jenny Lind, in bestowing ten thousand dol
lars on the public charities of New-York, is a
proof of her truly generous and noble charac.
ter, so different from that Of public singers
generally. We think we are safe in assert
lug that this sum exceeds, in amount, all that
has ever been given by all the artists who
have preceded her to our shores. Others have
expended vast sums on yenal editols, on their
own pleasures, on pomp, and luxury, and dis
play; but to Jenny Lind belongs the merit of
giving 10 the support oftle poor, to the widow
and the orphan. Nor has this donation been
merely TO purchase popularity. The frequency
of similar gifts abroad, where popularity is not
to be bought in this way, is a proof that this
act was not one dictated by selfish interest, but
was the spontaneous burst of a grateful heart.
Indeed it is the character of Jenny Lind as a
woman, more than her vocal powers, which
endears her to all who know her. She evil
IDENTIFY regards herself as bound TO employ her
voice for The benefit of the suffering, as well as
for her W pecuniary advancement; and as
Heaven has endowed her with unusual gifts,
she shows her gratitude to Heaven by the mu-
ni6cence of her charities. Would that there
were more like her.-Philadelpha Bulletin.

The DurY OF THE souru.-Tbe Richmond

The DuTY OF THE Sour4-The Richmond
Republican, in an article based on an idea that
the slavery question will be settled for the pres
ent, but that it can remain SO only a few years,
owing to the hold which abolition opinions
have upon the Northern people,says that in
view OF the facts the duty OF the South sis to
seize these feU gears of respite, and employ ev-
cry moment Of them in building up southern
commerce, southern railroads, southern collie
ges and schools, southern industry in every de-
p~artnieut ofhuman enterprise. This should be
considered . duty second only in Importance
to the most sacred duties of religion. We
shov1d ike to see home ASSOCIATIONS formed
with these objects, and the whole force Of south
ern sentiment concentrated, organized and
brought to bear in a solid column in their be-
half"
We agree entirely in this opinion, and shall
rejoice to see it adopted with energy and eff
cheney. Nor have we any doubt the develope-
nlent Of the immense natural resources Of the
South, and especially the establishment of a
good system Of popular education, win prove
more a bond to unite the whole country than q
preparation for its divisor.- ~. Y. Tribune.
