The FUGITIVE BILL.-We learn by special tel
egraphic despatch that the Fugitive Slave BILL il
passed the Senate passed yesterday in the House
of Representatives, by vote of 100 to 49, This de-
cisve vote for the adoption of measure SO long
elected, although demanded by an express requi-
stion of the Constitution, and necessary for quiet
ing the agitation which has threatened SO much
danger to the repose Of the country affords graf
flying proof of the improved state of feeling in the
House of Representatives There has been great
clamor against every form of proposal to provide
for this exigcncy, but those who have steadily re-
sisted every measure proposed for the attainment
OF this object have as steadily declined to any
substitute. There was danger that, by failure on
the part of the North to comply with explicit
provision of the Constitution for the benefit OF the
South, just ground of complaint would be afforded
and one only of the measures of paciication pro-
posed in the rejected compromise bill of the Senate
remains to be adopted. We trust shall soon
learn that that also ID adopted and that the dissen
sions which have been already the source of somuch
mischief are at an end

GREAT NEws.-The glorious news from Wash
ngton city, OF the passage, on Friday last, Of the
Texas Boundary bill Doinly with that providinga
territorial government Tor New Mexico, followed up
as this action Saturday by the passage of the
bill admitting California State and that estab-
fishing government for Utah, has put US in too
good a hunor TO exult over a defeated foe.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-09-21

HelicOn says
"Our readers will doubtless be gratiied to learn
that the House has finally passed the Texan bill,
and the bill admitting California into the Union as
State. To the Texan bill was attached one pro-
viding territorial government for New Mexico,
and to the California bill provision for the terrific
rial government of Utah. The latter passed the
House by majority OF t,cenfy, the former by a
majority of ten votes. We sincerely hope that these
measures may have the effect of restoring peace
and quietude to the country, and that, during the
calm which shall succeed past excitement, the South
will so improve the resources within her reach to
than counterbaance, by the effects of her in
ternal policy, any advantages which the North may
possess over us. When learn 10 live more

LOVE ETERNAL.

Loves breath is in the vernal breeze
That fans the check on twilight cves--
Loves breath exhalcs from out the rose
When morn unfolds its crimson leaves
Loves breath is in the murmuring sound
That DER the bubbling fountain rings
Loves breath is in the little song
The little bird to nature sings.
Loves breath from yonder starry worlds
Comes down in ether pure and bright
Loves breath is in the winter storm,
And in the summer breeze of night
Warm looks of love from Natures face
Allure me to her beating heart
Lost on her fond and pure embrace,
My breast forgets its aching smart.
Loves breath-it is Gods holy breath.
That unto thee, my heart, is given
Whose gentle impulse, sweet and pure,
Does softly raise thee up to heaven -
There shall the earthly plant put forth
Eternal flowers that ne'er shall fall.
All! shall love-and love .-and love -
Since love is but the life of all

CoNvERsATIoN.-Itls IS rarely that pro-
found thinkers are great takers. They are
often dull and apparently stupid in company
for, having to drive to the bottom Of their
souls for the treasures of thought, they
cannot keep pace with those rapid speak
ers whose thoughts lie upon the surface. 1t
is true, we now and then meet with conver-
sallonal bores among men Of name and note
in literature, science and so forth but the
number is small. If such persons ever thus
become the bane and pest of social inter-
course, it is usually because they fancy
they must make point Of sustaining, among
their friends the reputation they have ac-
qured in their professions. They are ter
ribIy apprehensve that they may fall short
of their estimates if.hey do not strain them
selves up to The very utmost of their height;
and, because they chance TO be owners OF
six-foo. reputation, they think they mus,
do il justice by corresponding display OF
volubii.y.

Beware of condemning from appearance
alone. What seems to be clear indication
of criminalIty may be but conspiracy OF
circumstances.-What seems to our unchar-
liable eyes the blush Of shame acay be but
the righteous resentment of standard vlr-
tue, kndIng up in its defence. That
which, to us, is the robe Of guilt, stained
like Cesar's mantle in the bloody Senate
house, may be, before God, the armor Of in
nocence encircling soul whose silent pow
er shall make humanity tremble, and whose
faith shall fling on destroying death and
the wi.hering grave, look Of serene def
ance. All this, repeat, may be. Appear
ances, at best, are bu, appeals to Incidence
and Ego'ism. Therefore, "judge righteous
iudgment."

ELoqUENcE.-Though great man said
that swords are things" the agents who

Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of IN

A certain writer has very we'll said, "girls.
when you see young man, who would
take wife for the value Of herself; for the
beauties of her mind, purity Of heart-and
not for the dazzle Of aveazth that man will
make good husband, and years will but
serve to strengthen his attachment. When
you see young man who is tender and
affec.ionate, and endowed with happy in

what his circumstances in life are, he is
really worth winning. Take him who can:

the benefit he derives from it, whether it be
in his Golfer, or in the bowels of the earth.
When his wants are supplied, all that re-
mains is his only to keep, or to give away,
but not to enjoy. What is more than ser
viceable, is supe,Auous and needless, and
the man is only rich in fancy. Nature is
satisfied with little; i. is vanity, it is avarice,
it is luxury, it is independence, it is the god
of this world, that urges US to demand more.

DIsCONCERTED DARKIEs.-The Savan
nah Republican relates the following story:
Henry J. Finn was greater wi. than he
was an actor, which is paying his intellect
compliment by no means small Since
his dreadful death at the burning of the un
fortunate steamer Lexington, his widow, a
wise and accomplished lady, has labored in
the vocation Of private school teacher: II
is said that in his early days the elder Finn
was applied to by some coIored fashion
ables for some advice as 10 arrangements
for grand ball, which they had projected.
Hair powder had not quite passed out OF
use, and among other things, he suggested
10 the attentive committee that perhaps it
would be little more like white folks if
they should powder their heads. The col
ored gentlemen caught eagerly at the idea,
but where should they procure the POWDER
The wag readily agreed TO get shis for them
as he could procure it from friend on the
1T Wharf" a, wholesale prices. According
Iy, on the evening of the party he supplied
the unsuspecling committee with quantity
of finely powdered unslacked lime, with
which the er-ofGcio whitened the heads of
the ticket-holders. Every thing went OH
smoothly for time. The colored ladies
were in high feather, fguratively as we'll as
literally. The colored gentlemen felt like
educated and accomplished Hannibals.-
They were all very proud of their powder
no words can tell how proud. Presently
the general dignity began TO give way under
the exhilerasing effect of two fddles, bass
horn aud claronet. Pigeon-wing cuts and
double-shuffles became universal = both
sexes danced as only colored people can.
Animation is naturally succeeded by per-
spira,ion, and the latter had notable effect
on their hair powder. 1t made them itch,
the scratching grew as general now as the
pigeon wing had been before. Eaten by the
lime the hair came off in their hands, and
ere long the whole party presented such an
array of bald heads as TO cause general out
burst of indignation, and an early dispersion
of little group of laughing spectators of
whom i, is needless to say, Finn was one.

STEAMER Mono CASTLE Subtitle steamer
Moro Castle, from New Orleans, with cargo of
sugar and molasses for Cincinnati, sunk the falls
Saturday morning, in six feet water. She was
endeavoring to come up through the Indiana chute,
in charge OF fails pilot, and had made the turn
round the point of the chute, but before fully
Strengthening up the stern caught in the eddy and
she swung round to the right, and was forced by
the current broadside on to the ledge called the
wave rocks, which knocked several holes in the
hull and filed her with water in about fifteen
minutes. The boat lies in critical situation, and
may prove total loss. The hull was insured in
Cincinnati. The,cargo in the hold consists of 1913
hhds. Of sugar and 1000 bbls., Of molasses. The
sugar is a totalloss. That portion of the cargo
which was on deck was saved; also freight for
Louisville which she had discharged at Portland.
The steamer Emily and the ferry-boat Sultana
went to her assistance, and brought of all the cargo
on deck. The freight saved consists Of 60 hhds. of
sugar. consigned to Cleary & Bro; 20 hhds. to
Key, Mahby d Co.; some 40 terces Of rice, a
small lot Of coffee, few packages of goods and
sundres, all for Cincinnati. There was upwards
Of seven feet water on The falls when she sunk and
she was drawing but six feet nine inches. Since
then the river has receded about twelve inches The
boat lies perfectly straight and the lower deck is en-
tirely above understandable Courier, 7th inst.
