The most severe reproof may be admins

and request them to make such applications
as they think proper. We can only say that
it is our individual opinion, individual express

Intelligence of Mr.. Tony Weller's son Sam,"
and that they have become sharp in about
the same way he did. These things should
not be SO, and it IS to be hoped that all parents
may be benefited by the lesson ironically
taught in the following Pickwickian paragraph: ::
One WAY TO MAKE BOYS sHARP.-When
Mr. Pickwick complmented the intelligence of
Mr.. Tony Weller's sor Sam, the proud father
replied with an air of great satisfaction ::
"Werry glad to her of it, sir-took great

Mr. Webster.

We have been surprised to observe the
efforts which have been made, in some of the
papers of this State, to counteract the effect
which Mr.. Webster's great speech on the
slavery question is destined to have, in the
adjustment of that question and in the conse-
quent tranquilization of the country from the
imminent hazards of civil war; We say the
effect which that speech SIS deSined to have %
for although it is far from certain, that against
the strenuous efforts which will still be made
to prevent an adjustment, any thing will be
accomplished at the present session, we yet
feel confident that an impression has been pro-
duced by that remarkable speech, on the minds
ofthe rejecting portions of the people through
out the country, in the north and in the south,
which will lead to an adjustment sooner or
later, and on basis which will put further
conflict on this question at an end. This is a
consummation which three months ago there
vas hardly room to hope The danger then
was immenent, and those who did not perceive
it, must have been blinded by their prejudices
in favor of their own favorite system of meas
ures, or they must have neglected to avail
themselves of those pubic means of informa-
ton which were open to every intelligent and
inquiring man. Bost. ADV.

Power Of Interest.

In the Literary World, statistical account
is given of the rise and progress of New York,
commencing with the fact that in the year
1925, the island which now constitutes the
city of New York, was purchased of the 1ndi-
ans for sixty guilders, or t1Uenty -four dollars!
The editor adds: "This seems cheap. Yet if
the purchaser had invested the said sum or
another similar sum, of twenty -four dollars, at
compound interest at per cent, the accumu-
lated capital on such investment would in this
year, 1850. amounted to sirty.tfOe millions OF
dollars; in other words, twenty -four dollars SO
invested would now be worth more than the
county and city of New York. deducting what
has been expended upon the real estate since
it was purchased from the Indians! Ergo,
the land Tor island) was not cheap, for the
purchaser could have done better with his
money.

CE1EBRATIoN.-The French residents of
New York celebrated, on Saturday evening
last the anniversary of the proclamation of
the French Republic, by banquet at the Col
lseum. The saloon was decorated with Amer
ican. French, and Italian flags, and the words
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" were conspic-
uous in various places. Operations at the ta-
BILE were commenced by shout of Vive la
Republique." Among those present were
the italian refugees, Averana and Forresti,
who both addressed the meeting Mr.. Gui-
net, one of the Vice Presidents, made the fol-
lowing remarks:
"The day we celebrate gives us recollections
of glory and hope. But we have been betray-
ed. Let US cover with infamy those traitors
who cannohaded Rome and our Italian broth
ers. We have been betrayed; but there is
something stronger than all the traitors at the
head of our government. 1t is universal suf-
frage. With it we may repair the wrongs
made on the 10th of December, 1848. Away,

The value of Califoruia Rocks,

Mr. Patterson, director of the mint at Phil

Post has completed careful analysis of a
quantity of quarts rock considered TO be fair

proves that this rock contains 81 ,75o of gold to

gold could be detected by the naked eye,

another one, in which no outward sign of
metal appeared, yielded s3 40 to the pound.

REPUTATION OF MISSISSIPPI IN ENGLAND
Thelate session ofthe Legislature of Missssip-
pi, as is known; made no provision for the pay
ment of any portion of the overdue dividends,
either on the repudiated State stock or the
100000 which is fully acknowledged
while it was proposed to appropriate $780,
600 to put the state in position to do battle
In behalf of the extension of slavery; and
while there was, as is said an absolute surplus
in the treasury of half million of dollars. In
alluding to these circumstances, the London
Times of the 10th of April remarks:
Buff Com.
General Quitman, who has been styled
the hero of Monterey, is the governor under
whose administration the fatal stain has thus
been prolonged; but for the credit of the A
merican nation, it is to be hoped that he will
ore day clear himself from this passage in his
history. The Legislature meet only once in
two years, and therefore some time must now
elapse before another movement can be made.
Meanwhile the progress of sound views among
the people is apparent on all sides; and it is
affirmed there is scarcely respectable per-
son in the state who is not impressed with the
conviction that the influence of the dema-
gogues by whom Mississippi is now rendered
by-word for all that is disgraceful will rap
idly diminish, and in little while become ex-
tinct."

Theory of Marriage.

There was merry fellow supped with Pla-
to two thousand years ago; and the CONVERSE
ton turned upon love and the choice of wives.
He said "he had learned from a very early
tradition, that man was created male and fe-
male, with duplicate set of limbs. and per-
formed his locomotive function with rotary
movement as a wheel; that he became in con-
sequence, so excessively insoIent that Jupiter
Indignantly split him in two Since that time
each runs through the world in quest of the
other half If the original halves meet, they
are very loving couple. otherwise they are
subjected to miserable, scolding. peevish and
uncongenial matrimony. The search, he said,
was rendered difficult for the reason that one
man alighted upon half that did not belong
to him-another did necessarily the same
till the whole affair Qike an exchange of hats
or boas at balD was thrown into irretrieva-
Bile confusion"

American soldiers.

The following article from the Richmond
(Va) Republican, contains sound sense and
plain truth, and we ask for it careful and
attentive perusal!
at is a fact that while Hungarian and 9TH
er refugees are invited to settle on American
land, and while Senators of the United States
contend which shall go farthest in voting farms
to the soldiers of other countries. the widows
of officers and soldiers in the United States
army are not entitled to picayune in silver,
or an acre of land from that Government in
whose service their husbands and fathers toll
ed, fought, and died, unless perchance they
died on the field of battle.
" Why living foreigners should be entitled
to greater sympathy from the American Gov
ernment than living American woman who
are the Survivors and representatives of brave
American soldiers, is question which we con.
fess ourselves unable to answer. The Good
Book has emphatically declared, and every
wise and generous heart will endorse the de-
claration, "He that provideth not for his own
is worse than an inidel. We are willing and
desirous to provide refuge for the oppressed
sons of liberty from every cline, bu: justice,
nature, gratitude, and wisdom all dictate that
we should first do justice to those of our own
family
"The mere circumstance that an officer or
soldier dies on the field of battle, constitute no
evidence of peculiar merit nor exclusive claim
upon the gratidute of the Government
Washington, Greene, Hamilton, and other
illustrious heroes survived the Revolution
Generals Scott, jackson, Harrison and others
-Commodores Hull, Perry, Decatur, Porter,
McDonough, and nearly every other illustrious
naval commander, survived the last war with
England; Taylor Scott Worth, Wool, and a
host of other military heroes, passed unscath-
ed through the wars of Florida and Mexico
What sense or justice is there in rule that
would deprive the widows of such men of a
pension upon their death, simply because they
wer not cut down by sword or slain by a
bulIet?"

@ A Startling Discovery confrmatory of
the truth of the book of Jonah. has been
made by Mr. Layard. In excayating the city
of Nineveh, he discovered the name of Jonah
inscribed upon the ruins. That prophet, as
our readers know, was sent to announce to the
people of Nineveh the destruction of the city.
His eloquence converted many of them, and
"God repented him. of the doom He had pro-
nounced, and spared the city for that time
Jonah then became the prophet of Nineveh,
and was reverenced by the inhabitants. AS
was the Oriental custom, they doubtless in
scribed his name in conspicuous places on the
walls of the public ed6ees, and the inscriptions
engraved by Assyrian hands a thousand years
before the Christian era, have been found by
Mr.. Layard. This is one of the most extraor-
dinary demonstrations of the accuracy of Bib
ical history we have ever heard Of
Asyet we have only seen the beginning of
the end. The city of Nineveh has scarcely
been entered, and when the excavations shall
have been completed, if Mahometsn jealousy
should ever permit that consumation, we may
expect illustrations of the prophecies that will
strike the world with awe and wonder.
Great credit is due to the British govern
ment for the munifcent spirit they have ex-
hibited in aiding the lahors of Mr.. Layard-
placing at his command vessels for the navi-
cation Of the Euphrates, conveying to England
the magnificent sculptures which has been dis
entombed. and affording him every facility
which money or British authority could secure.
We should be glad to see similar spirit ex-
hiblted by the government of this country in
reference to American antiquities.

Slavery I'M the TerritOries--PFesf%
dent Taylor.


Mrs. Swisshelm; the talented editress of the
Pittsburgh Saturday Visitor, is at Washing
ton ''takin' notes. and writing graphic letters
to the New York Tribune and her own paper.
In recent letter speaking of the probable re-
suit of Congress on the question of slavery in
the new territories, she says:
II fear greatly that the north is destined to
defeat Gen. Taylor's
policy of non-interference with the territories,
is the very utmost that may be hoped; and so
far as l can Judge, all the free-soiers are ready
to support this as the best that can be done
leave the territories to form governments
for themselves"
In the same letter this fearless writer pays
the following just tribute to the honesty and
good sense of President Taylor.
Gen. Taylor here stands very high as an
honest man 1t is common remark from
friends and enemies, "He is an honest old gen.
tleman and has great deal of coed sound
sense" He appears to command the respect
of all parties for his honesty and good sense,
that is, so far as these qualities are deemed re-
spectacle. But very few appear to think
them of much importance in president. Di-
plomacy, cunning and skill are the requisites
for success in managing the sharpers who
here do cOngregate. "The old stagers" can
battle and embarrass men of the strongest
minds who are not acquainted with their sub
terfuge and tricks. This is the reason so ma
ny men fail to give satisfaction or realize ex-
pectations when sent TO congress, and SO are
kept at home afterwards and some one else
sent in their stead to fail as they did. BY the
time they begin to learn the trade they are
taken away and set at some other business.

The Great Tunnei Of the Alps,

To complete direct line OF Railroad COM
