though their professions are much louder.
In conclusion, we mustexpress our earn
est'desire, that this point shall not be
yielded. Every concession on this oues-
lion should come from the North. The
South alone are effected by it,and therefore
their desires aloneshould beconsu!led. We
trust therefore that Southern Senators will
stand firm, and yield not a hairs breadth.
There is no abstraction involved here :;
We have something tangble--practicaI.
We trust thSt the national men of the
North will view the matter in its proper
light, and act accordingly. Until then,
we cannot hope for that state Of peace and

POHerS's Calhoun

This was the most elaborate Of all the
works of Mr.. Powers, and the one, per-
haps, which he regarded with most pride.
Ii was truly masterpiece of art, and
con. manded the unqualified admiration Of
all of every country who ever beheld it.
Its loss will cause no little pain 10 the gift
ed artist, and yet will probably prove TO
him a pecuniary advantage. The statue
was one of his earliest commissions, and
was undertaken more for the sake of es-
tabllshing his reputation than with any
other object. He has, as yet, received
for il only three thousand dollars, which
sum was raised many years ago by the
citizens of Charleston, and paid him in
advance, with the understanding that he
should have as much more as could be OBJ
tanned by subscription after lis completion.
1t was insured, as we learn from the
Charleston Courier, for the sum Of six
thousand doIlars--and this, we suppose,
will secure to the artist something like
remuneratiye price for his work.--Cour.

Lieut.. Lynch of the U. S. Exploring
Expedition to the river Jordon and the
Red Sea, says:
"The clover upon the ground was in
bloom, and altogether, the garden, in its
aspect and associations, was better calcu-
lated than any place I know to soothe a
troubled spirit. Eight venerable trees,
insulated from the smaller and less impos-
ing ones which skirt the pass ofthe Mount
of Olives, form consecrated grove. High
above on either hand, towers lofty noun
tain, with the deep yawning chasm of Je-
hosaphat between them, Growing one
of them is Jerusalem, living city; on the
slope of the other is the great cemetery,
a city of the dead. Each tree in this
grove, cankered and gnarled, and furrowed
by age, yet beautiful and impressive in IFS
decay, is living monument at the affect
ing scenes that have ken place between
and around it. The olive perpetuates IT.
self, and from the root Of the dying parent
stem, the young tree springs into eXls-
tence. These trees are accounted near
one thousand years old. Under those OF
the preceding growth, therefore, the Sa-
vior was wont to rest; and one OF the
present may mark the very spot where ne
tneIt and ycd and wept. No cavilIng
doubts can find entrance here. The ge-
ographical boundaries are too distinct and
clear for an inslants hesitation. Here the
Christian, forgetful of the present, and
absorbed in the past. can resign himself
10 sad yet soothing meditation. The few
purple and crimson flowers, glowing about
the roots of the trees. will give him ample
food for contemplation, for they tell OF the
suffering life and ensanguined death OF
the Redeemer.

Sacramento in California has laii OF

100 feet TO mile. twas then, however
thought that such fall as IT seemed ne
cessany 10 suppose in The case OF the Jor-
don, from the difference Of level between
the two lakes which il connected, was
without example; and as It's course was
presumed to be tolerably straight, and as
it WAS not known to contain any rapids,
AL error in the calculation of the differ
ence orlevel between the two lakes was
more than suspected. This problem 1t
wss left for Lieut.. Lynch to set at rest
Ia the first place, the river is full OF rapids.
The boats plunged down no less than
twenty.seven very threatening ones, be-
sides great number Of lesser magnitude,
and then, although, the direct distance
does, as stated, not exceed sixty miles,
the course of the river is made at least
two hundred miles by the exceedingly
tor,uous course of its stream. This re-
duces the fail to not more than SIX feet
in the mile, for which the numerous rapids
in the river sufficient account.
"The descent by the river occupied no
less than week. So great were the diff
iculties caused by the rapids that in two
days not more than twelve miles were ac

wooden boat brought down from the Sea
of Galilee was abandoned, on account oil

al boats could have stood the severe work
of this passage. 1t was, nevertheless,
made at the time Of food--at the season
that the Israelites passed the rlver--and
which, although the most unfavorable
without boats, should be the most favor
able with them, In fact, it is stated, that
a few weeks earlier or later, the passage
down the river in boats, would, as III the
case ofLieut. Molyneux, have been i'm
practicable, from the want Of sufficient
water to carry them over the rapids.
The wide and deeply depressed plain

flows is generally barren, treeless; and

PpbEc Sentiment.

We give the annexed extract from the
Virginia Republican (Marlins5urg) in re-
Iation to the adjustment measures before
the Senate. We believe we might almost
adopt the language in regard 10 Jefferson
County, for from the expressions of opln-
ion we have heard, and observations made,
we have no doubt but that an overwhel-
ming majority Of our citizens favour those
measures-thcr opponents are " few and
far between" 1t will be recOlected that
in the spring call was made in the pa
perS of this county for mass meeting 10
appoint Delegates to the Nashville Con-
vention. This was the only attempt
made west of the Blue Ridge. How did
that result! Il was never held. No one,
as on other occasions, seemed willing to
make any effort TO get the people together.
Comment upon this is unnecessary.
$50 far, particularly, as this county is
concerned, we have yet to find the first man
in il opposed 10 the adjustment measure,
or one 10 justify the conduct of The Virgin
ia Senators in assisting TO reject ii, much
less their fruitless protest against the pas
sage of the Bill admitting California as
State into the Union"

The Election.

Below we give the returns Of the cleo
ton in Jefferson and Berkeley Counties,
which with Clarke form one district. enii-
tied to four delegates. Messrs. Faulkner,
Lucas, and Murphy are undoubtedly cleo
ted. Hunter and Thomson are next on
the list, the former leading the latter SO
votes, which many think will be overcome
in Clarke. We are of different opinion,
and have no doubt Of the election of Hun.
Ter.
1t will be seen that the attempt to defeat
the White Basis, has met with an emphat-
ic rebuke in this district, and in no portion
of it more so than in the Unterrilied
Precinct" Whatever regrets many may
have on account Of the defeat of their IA
vourites, this fact will tend TO console them.
