)UR. DESTINY New York Su

OUR DEsTINY.-The New York Sun.
in an article on the destiny of the Ameri-
can Union, says that another century
will give the United States a population
of ta0o hundred millions. That "the
school house and the church, dotting
every hill and valley will be the altars,
the barracks and the fortresses of the
Republic The Sun closes it's article
in the following glowing and cheering
languages:
Long, long ere century rolls by, the
present arts and sciences of the world
will not this empire with railroads and
Telegram phs; steam will wnirl the products
of earth over land and water, and the light
ming bear the thoughts of its people from
ocean to ocean. Simple in its govern
men. and institutions; harmonious in the
intelligence and fraternity of its popula-
ton: exhaustless in wealth Of soil and
toll, and semi-omnipotent in the unity and
energy of its communities, it will form a
spectacle of terror to whoever is tyrant,
and of self-sufficiency and glory, such as
empire dreamers never yet framed The
eyes of nations are preparing for such a
spectacle, and nothing but the faithless-
ness of the American people can avert it.
1t is coming as surely as the morn cometh
and as beautiful. Ere then, foreign
power. whether grasping the Canadas,
or Mexico, or the islands of the Gulf.
will have passed away from those spaces
forever. The northern continent of the
western hemisphere, and its island fami-
lies, will be our Union, one and invisi-
BILE, and Republic, against which, the
balance of the world cannot prevail.

WATT--A young man, (says Sir r. kane,)
wanting to sell spectaces in London, petitions the
corporation to allow him to open little shop, with
out paying the fees of freedom, and he is refused.
He goes TO GLASGOW, and the corporation refuse
him there. He makes acquaintance with some
members of the university, who hnd him very IN
telligent, and permit him to open shop within
their walls He does not sell spectacles and magic
lanterns enough TO occupy all his time; he occu-
pies himself at intervals in taking asunder and re-
making all the machines he come at He
finds there are books on mechanics written in for
eign languages; he borrows dictionary, and
learns those languages to read those books. The
university people wonder al him, and are fond Of
dropping into his little room in the evenings, to tell
him what they doing, ed to look at the queer
instruments he constructs. machine IN the
university collection wants repairing, and he is
employed. He makes i. new machine The
steam-engne is constructed; aud the giant mind
Of Watt stands out before the world-the author
Of the industrial supremacy Of this country, the
herald Of new force of civilization. But was
Watt educated? Where was he educatedl At
his own workshop, and in the best manner. Watt
learned Latin when he wanted it for his business.
He learned French aud German; but these things
were tools, not ends. He used them to promote
his engineering plans as he used lathes and levers.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE AGE.

Once twas our pIous clergys only plan
10 teach their hearers each himself TO scan
Repent, believe; in short, obey the Word,
For which they to the Bible were referr'd
But since the world, of late, has wiser grown,
This blessed book no longer stands alone;
Associated with it now we see
Gall, Combe, and Fowler on Phrenoloov
Auspicious era! since the world began
Was anght so Graugbt with good to fallen mani

According to this rule of modern art
Learn first the form OF brain to mend the heart
Ye little ones, who claim no less share
OF Phrenologic than parental care,
This is to you, indeed, golden age
or mental science, VIII 'ch doth well presage
Your future greatness in the growtl of mind
Which that of ages past leaves far behind.
Your plastic heads, whate'er their form or size,
Howe'er contracted round about tie eyes,
Or cen if wanting in the moral part,
(Which more than all the rest affects the heart,
Taught by the PhrenolUgic preachers hand,
Shall, in those regions, just enough expand.
IL some parts still too large to suit the rest,
Shoulc, for this reason, need to be SUPPRESSED,
These, when adjusted by the preachers SKILL
Will leave the youthful hearer free in will,
With perfect head, (as Adam doubtless had
Before the fatal fruit had made him rnad,)
A course of virtue or of vice to CHOOSE
BY which, at last his soul to save orlose;
Nor does the pl actice of this glorious plan
1n neliorafe the sinful state of man
Apply but to the rising generations;
lis plain and therefore needs no illustration,
1t would successfully apply to all
Men, women, chlden, ,oId young, large aud small.
Come then,ye gourd and pumpkin headed wighls,
Thieves. loalers bachelors, and parasites,
And have your ugly noddles put in trim,
Don't say Phrenoiogy is all whim
Come up, come up, why stand back there you

Yon look as stupid as pile Of logs.
Why stay away? what fools for doing sol

Come up, say, now don't hang back and laugh,
Twill cost you but dollar and a half.
Who don't believe PhrenoIogy is truel
Y You don't believe itl Very well, DO,
And if yoall in friendly way receive it,
Ii tell you, young man, why on don't believe it,
Professor Junebug mss'd you in your chart,
So say, if he told you you smart;
And now, my friend, come out, let's have it all

Yes. that's the rub. l understand it now
You've said he miss d you in your chart, and howl
The truth is, boy, if that now May tell,

The WEBSTER WATCH AND CHAIN.-The gold
chain senl to Mr. Webster by gentleman from
California, accompanied by watch added by IA
party of his New England friends in New York
city, has been delivered to him. Mr.. Webster's
letter, acknowledging the present, concludes with
the following beautiful passage:
accept this from your hands as Sons of New
England and Merchants of New York, with great
respect. We are personally known to one another,
and cannot desire Of regard from any
one of you, greater than that which | entertain
for you, each and all The events of life have
drawn you FROM the land of our common origin
to the great commercial metro polls OF the country
You are merchants; and under the flag of the
Union you have prosecuted an extensive and use
full intercourse with most of the civilized world
AT last you have seen our own country stretch
from to sea, and new highway opened across
the Continent, from us to our fellow citizens
the shores of the Pacific Far as they have gone
they are yet within the protection of the Union,
and ready, | dodbt not to join all, in its defence
and support. They pursuing and an
absorbing interest. While their Eastern brethren
continue to be engaged in agriculture, manufac-
lures, commerce, navigation, and the fisheries,
they are exploring region whose wealth surpasses
fiction They are gathering up treasure, in a
manner and in degree hitherto unknown, at the
feet of inaccessible mountains and along those
streams
'sWhose foam is amber, and their gravel gold"
Over them and over us stands the broad arm
of the Union, and long may it stand, as firm as
the arches of heaven, and as beautiful as the bow
which is set in the clouds.

FROM BRowNsvILLE.-Weh have receiv-
ed from Brownsville papers of the 18th
ult. The Indians continne to commit
great depredations in the vicinity of La
redo. One person writes from that place,
under date of the 4th ult, as follows:
The Indians have got this country
they took the San Antonio mail on the
last trip and but few of the letters were
recovered We are actually confined to
the limits of the town.
A man was killed at Roma on the 4th
ult, and two others are missing, supposed
to have been killed. The Corpus Christi
mail was taken on the 4th sixteen miles
from Laredo, the rider being allowed to
depart almost in state of nudity. having
stripped him to his psntaloons and shirt.
Lieut. Hudson, with eighteen men, went
in pursuit of the party who took the San
Antonio mail, and came up with them on
the Nueces river, and captured their
camp, horses, &c. On his return from
the Nueces, when near the Iwenty-fonr
Mile Water-Hole, he fell in with party
who took the Corpus Christi mail, num-
bering about sixteen savages, and an ell
gagement ensued, III which Lieut. Hudson
received three wounds from arrows-one
in his right side, one under his left arm,
and another in his thigh. In this skirmish
one soldier was killed, a sergeant desper-
ately, and three men severely wounded
Four horses were also lost. The extent
of the loss of the Indians is not stated,
but it is said none were found on the field
of action. Lieutenant Hudson is hardly
expected 10 survive m 0. Pscay~'ae.

He who yields himself to vice must inevitably
suffer. If The human law does not convict and
punish him, The moral law, which will have
obedience, will follow him to his doom. Every
crime is committed for purpose, with some idea
of future personal pleasure; and just as surely as
Coo governs the universe, surely does crime,
although concealed, destroy the happiness OF the
future No matter how deeply laid have been the
plans of the criminal how desperately executed,
detection pursues him like a bloodhound, and tracks
him to his fate.

parties ruling in the United States al this mo-
ment making the vastest sacrifices TO each other
sacrifices of great principles well Of great
interests. And why? Because, did they not do
so, the Republic would not bold together perhaps
for a twelvemonth; and once severed they know
full well what would be the magnitude of their
disaster Mutual sacrifices and concessions are,
in truth, the ties that bind them together Let
their common glory and their common destiny,
let the knowledge of what they have achieved
united, and what they would become If severed,
once fail to produce patriotism or national
virtue powerful enough to cause them TO yield
sectional interest for the common good, and to
forego great party principles and objects for the
preservation of their institutions and the integrity
of their Government, and glory would soon take
leave of their Israel" See how we'll the real

"GREAT AGE" THIS WE LIVE IN.-People don't

They never eat their food they mastlcate it. No

men do not go courling the girls, they pay the
young ladies attentions. Il is vulgar to visit any

A CHANGE OF SoCIE rY.-After describing, III his

Thoreau about pine-trees and Indian relics, in his

CEN TAYLoR.-Of this strai gh;forward Presi-
dent of the United States, it may be truly predi-
Gated, that he does all this sensiby. lie thinks
sensbly, he speaks sensiby, acts sensibly, fights
sensbly, and administers the government sens jly.
He is precisely of those of whom it can
b. said, the more you know of nm, the more you
like hun and the more you confde in him. With
out by-ends in view or by-ways of reaching them,
he presents perfect contrast to the trading poI,
clan or te political partisan. Unschooed IN party
tactics, he takes position for the country-unawed
by demagogues and factionsts, he respectfully
declines TO surrender principles he deems essential
to the peace, safety, and general welfare OF the
country.
He was early tried in the field and never found
wanting, closing his military career in blaze of
glory. He was tried seated in the
Presidential chair, by difficult and delicate ques-
tons with foreign powers; tried by an opposing
party press. opening upon him with its artillery
of slander and vituperation, such as was never
directed against any honest man in this country,
excepting Henry Clay, who stands forth unhurt
aud unscalhed, "a head and shoulders" above most
men, the living monument OF the impotency OF
such assaults. Gen. Taylor has been further tried
in recent struggle between the South and the
North, upon questions of solemn import, now in a
fair way of satisfactory adjustment, but presenting
at one time crisis fearful in the extreme. No
President of these United States has
such an amount Of serious issues in so short "a
period, an involving matters of such momentous
Importance, both foreign and domestic; and Gen.
Taylor has met them d man and as a patriot,
capable of discerning the right, and firm in mann
tanning it,.
The Wing party, firm in attachment 10 their
principles, may congratulate itself, the President,
and the country, upon the faiterng prospects of
all concerncd.--Staunton (Va) SpectG tor.
