PLAQUEMINE:
SATURDAY,, NOVEMBER 9, 1850.

IMPULsE.-Men, who are called impulsiye,
are much slandered. Are not the most noble,
generous actions which adorn the annals Of the
world, referabe to this agent? Reason is even
exalted above impulse; bui how fallible is rea-
son! Is it not often opposed to faith, and
does it not lead to the most dangerous errors I?
So far as the boundaries of our experience ex-
tend, warm impulse has prompted more good
deeds than cod reason. We would sooner
trust that man in whose breast glows the fire
of enthusiasm than him who, cool and collected
at all times, seldom acts without suspicion, and
often deliberates till the hour of advantage has
passed. Faults, committed with out reflection,
are certainly not more venial than premeditated
sin. He who errs hastily, repents sincerely;
but the wrong done upon calculation is never
willingly repaired. Would that society were
more lenient to impulse! Even when pro-
ductive of harm, it is unselfsh, and the conse-
quences to which it leads are hurtful to no one
so much as to its possessor. Pity is no stran-
ger to the impulsiye man, and not seldom do
the tears of sympathy fall from his eyes. To
friendship he is faithful, snd for love he would
sacrifice both interest and worldly esteem. Let
us be compassionate, therefore: to the errors
Of impulse, while we respect the calm dictates
of caution and prudence.

THE FLIGHT OF TIME.--In reference to the
flight Of Time, DR.. Spring once closed a dis
course in the following graphic language:
81 shall neve. address this audience again.
shall never again NEE, them but at the bar
Of God. That interview seems indeed far dis
tant. But ii will be as soon as time, with his
eagle wings, shall have finished the little rem
nant of his short career. 'Afer Death, the
Judgement We die; butintersening ages pass
rapidly oye,, those who eep in the dust. There
is no dial plate there on which to count the
hours of Time. No longer is it told by days, or
months, or years; for the planets which mark
these periods are hidden f, ON their sight. Its
fight is no longer noted by events perceived
by .he senses, for the ear is deaf and the eve
is closed. The busy world of life, which
wakes at each morning and ceases at every
night, goes on above them, but 10 them all is
81 ent and unseen. The greetings of Joy and
the voice OF grief, the revolutions of empires
and the lapse OF ages, send no sound within
that narrow cell. Generation after generation
are brought and laid by their side; the insc,ip-
lion upon their monumental marble tells The
centuries that have passed away, but TO The
sleeping dead .he long inteva' was unobse'v-
ed. Like dream OF the nigh, with The quick
ness of thought, the mind ranges lime and space
almost without limit; ,here is but momen,
between the hour when The eye is closed in
the grave, and when it wakes 10 The iudg-

INFLUX OF GoLD-The London CORES pom.
dent Of the National Intelligencer, writing by
the Cambria, says:
The influx of Californian and Russian gold
into the business concerns of the world, is be-
ginning to excite considerable attention. The
calculating peop'e Of the Exchange and the
Stock market say that the amount OF Califor-
MIA gold produced during the last entire year
is f4,5O0,O9O. That from Siberia and the
Ura' mountains is said to be f4,a5O,OOO; to-
gether from these comparatively new sources,
near f9,O00OOO per annum. The question is
now being mooted, what effect, should this
supply OF gold be continued Or increased, will
be produced upon its ya'ue, upon currency and
prices, and many other subjects connected with
political economies! Such differing views are
entertained, that we cannot at present pretend
10 have formed any definite opinion upon the
subject One very important fact is that the
additional quantity of gold has not yet in any
way affected its price-he Bank paying f3
It's Cd per ounce for its own paper, and the
Mint buying at IS It's l04 per ounce.

GFAT1TupE.-When you receive kindness,
| and return it in some kind OF equivalent, you
perform reciprocal service, and such services
constitute the boud of society. When Won re.
ceive Il hladncss, and it is not n YOUR power to
return an equivalent, Won feel lively sense of
the obligation-this sentiment is termed graft
tude.
Gratitude, as i, is proof of an ngenuos mind,
meets with genersl CONNIE ada,ion ingrattude
as it IS an indication of depraved mind excites
general apprehension. He who is no, thorough
" and most sincerely grateful to man for ben
ehts he receives, cannot be devou.ly grateful
to the Almighty, who coofeys on him life and all
its ble> sings
Gratitude, Ike many OF our social virtues, is
OF a delicate naiu e, and it may be deserved, but
it teannot be demanded. Demand gratitude by
your manner, and mark tie co, sequence; the
selfish and ungrateful will DENY ii, ind The GEN.

Obligation
Perform your benefcent deeds from princ-
pie, as acts of moral duty II those whom YOU
obl1ge are ungr"'e,ul, you will have the high
satisfaction of having f!one your duty if they
are grateful, you will have the exalted pressure
OF having inspired the sentiment of gratitude,
which hasa natural tendency 10 diruse itself
through society, and in this way your bencf-

Livery evil we escape is cause of gratitude;
every good we emp oy is subject of praise.

their relations to man and to he Deity, are the

APPLICATIONS FOR BoUNTY LAND.-The Ma
tional Intelligencer states (by request) that
applications for Bounty land, under the recent
act Of Congress, or any other act, as well as all
inquiries relative to such claims, or to persons
supposed to be entitled to land, should be a]-
dressed to the Secretary Of the Interior, or the
Commissioner Of pensions, and not to the Sc.
cretary Of War. A little attention to this mat
ter viii prevent much trouble in the correspon-
dence to both parties, and procure much spec
der informstion to applicants and inquirers.
