The Future OF America.

Frazer's (London) Magazine, in late
review Of Sir Charles Lyell's book upon
America. in which review very differ
ent tone prevails, from what formerly
marked the sentiments of the British pc
piodicals upon the United States, thus
speaks of the probable future Of this
country:
We are not at all surprised at what in
this country is most foolishly called the
conceit and vanity of the Americans. -
What people in the world have so fine,
so magnificent country? Besides that,
they have some reason to be proud OF
themselves. Let the reader picture to
himself what will be the aspect of things
when the tide of population has crossed
the long range of the Rocky Mountains,
and occupying the valleys of the western
coast, has built other Bostons and New
Yorks in the harbors Of Oregon and
California. This tide of population is
now advancing along a line OF more
than n thousand miles, at the rate oi
eighteen miles year; and each year. as
The population becomes larger, the mum
ber of new settlers is increased, and the
rate OF advance Is accelerated. This
vast crowd of ever-onward-pressing set
tiers is not formed of the same materials
as the inhabitants of an European prov
ince; that is, there are not at its head a
few intelligent, but delicately brought up
men of capital, while all the rest are ig.
norant laborers; hut every one of these
pioneers of civilization can handle the
axe and The rifle, and can calculate. -
Ii ever these magnificent dreams of the
American people are realized-and all
tina, is wanted for their realization, is
that things should only go on as they
have been going on for the las, two cen
turies--there will be seated upon the
vast continent population greater than
that of all Europe, all speaking the same
language, all aciive-minded, and all well
off. They will stand, as i, were, the
centre of the world, between the two
great oceans, with Europe on one hand
and Asia on the other. With such flu.
,ure before him, we must pardon the
Yankee if we find little dash of self.
complacency in his composition; and
bear with th, surprise and annoy vance
which he expresses at finding that we
know so little of himself or OF his coun-
try. Our humble opinion is that we
ought to know better.
Great as is the influence which Amer,
lea has already had upon Europe, We
conceive that this is mere inlimalion oil
the influence which il is destined to have
upon the world.

We clip from an exchange the follow
ing extract from long article, proving
Coffee not injurious. We are glad to
hear the other side of the story:
.But we do think much Of coffee as n
promoter of health and temperance, and
therefore like 10 see its consumption in
crease. All tribes who use itare healthy.
The fishermen on the Potomac. Della

The Grand Bank. and GH along shore,
to say nothing Of Nantucke, and its
Quakers. use it extensively, and dis
pense with rum in the same proportion.
IL has been found the best quieter in the
nausea or vomiting cholera. Ii is also
useful in delirinm tremens. Strong,
without sugar or milk, and taken hot or
cold, j, quickly reduces disturbances in
the stomach or bowels, more especially
nausea. And it is one of the very best
ansdotes to intemperance; fact proved
by the fact, that tribes of men whose
use it habitually, as the Arabs and Egyp-
tians, are proserbially temperate. No
body Graves alcohol in any shape, after
cup of strong coffee: and whoever
takes strong coffee when drunk, especial
lay without sugar or milk. finds it more
efficacious than anything else in cooling
the head, stopping the rotary motion OF
things, and taking the taste out of The
mouth. Coffee is mild stimulant, and
some how or other, an antidoe TO the
morbid stimulation of alcohol. And if
we remember correctly, il is an anlidote

poison; and he proved it, by slewing
down a bag OF the best Java, I'LL he go,

Insult to American Statesmen
md Patriotism.

Yesterday evening a great crowd had
assembled in the vicinity of the Court
House to hear the speeches of the two
wings of the Democracy. The Benton
men had advertised for grand rally ia
the Rotunda. The antics were to hear
Judge Bowlin and others out side. A.
bout the time the meeting opened, pro-
cession, headed by a band of music.
came up Fourth Street, bearing trans.
parency of three sides. On one side.
the ship Of State. on another the Grow
ing Cock on the PROSTATE Coon" These
two produced no effect, they were EN-.
blems that no peaceable man could OBJ
ject to-; but upon the third side was
miserable daub attempting 10 represent
"OLD HAL" the great statesman Of
the West and of the age, PROSTATE and o.
verwhelmed by Col. Benton, with his
foot resting on Clay's neck and uttering
the words, Caught in the acf,"-1our-
ishing in his left hand scroll inscribed
l"Onnibus Bill"
Such an attempted indignity and out
rage upon such man was calculated to
arouse the highest indignation, not only
of the Wings, but Of every reHeciing
and intelligent Democrat. All men fel.
it to be an indigni,y upon the talents,
craftsmanship, services and patriotism
of the great men of the nation. As well
might Gen. Cass, or any other of the
great statesmen who stood shoulder to
shoulder with Mr.. Clay on this question.
have been subjected to the same indigni-
ty. With difficulty an outbreak was
prevented as it passed through the streets;
on its arrival at the Court House, the
rentup feelings of indignation could no
longer be restrained, stones were hurled,
Kisses, groans and imprecations arose
fiom every side. To appease the incen-
sed public, the offensive part, Clay pros
trate, was torn off. But this did not sat-
isfy the people. The attempt to hold
the Benton meeting in the Rotunda pro-
we'd an abortion. The crowd filled the
lower space of the Rotunda, and by
groans, shouts, Kisses, firing of crackers
and throwing rockets, the disturbances
was so great that The meeting was COM
pelled TO adjourn.-Mo. Republican.

A California correspondent of the
Kenosha Telegraph, who formerly resi-
,led in Wisconsin, does not seen to be
very much in love with the climate OF
the golden land. It's gold is hardly a
compensation for living under such a
gridiron climate; but perhaps he is a
fault finder, who never gives correct
impressions of any country:
s.lf there was no other spot on Gods
green earth where man could live but
California, should advise him to build
an ark and take TO the water. OF all
the miserable climates that ever froze an
Esquimaux, or crisped the hair of a
negro, this takes the palm. From :he
lsr of November to the last of March,
there is nothing but mud and rain, in
endless variety and ceaseless succession;
and from March to November there is
nothing but dust and sun, and shine, and
dust, and blow, and if a green hing can
be found ito eat in any patch of ground,
There is not a decent garden as is gar
den, in all California, from the snow top
of Sierra Nevada to The sands Of the
Pacific,) it has been coaxed out of the
earth by some one (who was lunaiic e.
nough to leave decent honey standing
over it with an umbrella all day, and
emptying water upon it at night that has
been brought seven miles from the river.
The country is no more fit for family
to live in Than the crater of Eina is for
an ice-house. No schools, no churches,
no morals. no christianity, no God. but
The Trinity Of whisky and gold.
We get nothing to eat but what has come
round the Horn. Every thing has been
twice melted or baked at the equator,
and once frozen at the poles. Our very
necessaries are the mIseries Of life
Gould you know when we are frying
our lean. rusty, sinking pork, and the

Amount OF food raised On nm
Acre.

The amount Of food that can be pro-
,luced upon an acre is worthy of grea'
consideration. One hundred bushels OF
Indian corn per acre is not an uncoln-
mon crop. One peck per week will mol

Some of our enterprising mechanics
may perhaps take flint from the fol-
lowing extract from letter of Horace
Greedy to the N. Y. Tribune:
"The best thing saw in Watertown
was tue turn ou, of two thousand peo-
pie on a wild stormy night to hear dry
talk on temperance; the next best was a
new PORTABLE Steam Engine" invented
and manufactured here bv Hoard & Brad
ford, and sold, (including boiler and all
fixtures,) at these rates: halt horse
power s75; one horse $l00; two horse
$3.50; three horse $225; four horse 5000.
The two horse engine | examined was
running Napier power press briskly,
while burning about as much fuel as q
common kitchen range. Certainly, q
Ton Of sea coal would amply suffice 10
run il for fortnight, night and day, or
month, ten hours per day. The time
must be at hand when every thrifty far
mer, with nearly every mechanic, will
have such an engine of his own, and
chopping straw, turning grindstone, chur-
ming, chopping wood, ,hreshing. &C.,
will have ceased to be manual, and
become mechanical operation. Prln-
ting (press work by hand, must rapidly
disappear before the approach OF this
engine, which will be running on wheels,
and driving soy the before il. or draw
ing plow behind it, within FIVE years.
