Cotton, has no such word as can't in his vocaou-

iron accordingly, though he may know it to be
utterly impraciicable. We had, on board the
Natchez, an old time piece which had broken its
main spring The first lieutenant, for fun, told
the blacksmith to take il 70 the anvil and put a
new main spring to il. Hearing the puff Of the
bellows and The clink Of the hammer, went for
ward, where found the old watch taken to pie

beating his full force on piece OF iron. "What

ELOQUENT EXTRACT.

From the late speech of Hon. C. L. Durham,
OF Indiana, We take the following eloquent pero-
ratfon:-
Sir, have heard honorable gentlemen coolly
attempt to calculate the value Of the Union, ita
value in dollars and cents, this Union purchased
nj price in suffering. toll and blood. in compnr-
soh with which the mines of the Indies sink in
to insignificance. the value OF this Union, in
comparison with the moral influence of which
upon mankind, the wealth Of the universe is bui
as the dust in the balance. this Union, which is
the germ that is leavcning the world with the
spirit of freedom! this Union, which is the nu-
ceus of the Liberties of mankind, which is al
once the model for the successful, and the asy-
Ium for the unsuccessful patriot, in his strug-
giles against the tyranny of the old world! this
Union, as to whose future, when you attempt TO
Judge BY lis past, the imagination faltcrs, and
our fancy, in It's boldest flight, like the dove from
Noah's nrk, returns with weary wing, having
found no restng-place! Why, sir, what was
this Union few years ago but thirteen feeble
colonies upon this Atlantic coast. Westward
the star OF empire took its way The hardy
sons of liberty scaled the rugged heights Of yor
blue Alleghanies, and poured themselves into
the immense valleys below, and already are they
filled with noble race as the sun OF heaven
ever shone upon. Still westward they take
their way. They have scaled the snow-capped
peaks Of the Rocky Mountains, and poured
themselves down their western slopes to the
shores Of the Majestic Pacific; and already are
our ears greeted with the hum of the industry,
coming up from those distant hills and valleys;
already, as if by magic, rich and teeming cities,
prosperous villages, and thriving hamlets, are
sprnging up all over that country, and bedcck-
ing it like the glittcring jewels Of some gorgeous
diadem. Soon the immense commerce OF Asia
aud the Indies, which has so long supplied the
Golfers Of England, and sustained her to,tering
power, will pour its gli,tcring treasures in upon
that western coast, and through yon rocky bar-
riers into the laps OF these our eastern vsles.
Whilst vet we deliberate, sir, states arc spring.
ing into existence, ns If in obedience to the fiat
Of Him who speaks and it is done! Calculate
the value OF such Union! As well might you
attempt TO number .he sands upon the sea shore,
or the sittering hosts Of yon blue arch above us.
Can il be possible that any man who claims to be
an American citizen, in whose veins course A.
mcrcan blood, in whose bosom lhrobs an Amer
lean heart, who has felt tho exhiieratng infu-
enee Of the genius OF our tree institutions. can
fall so low as to attempt to calculate the value
Of such Unionl Sir. such n man has not soul
enough to appreciate the value of this Union
which is a pearl above all price, and his efforts
TO do 40 should be listened to as the unmeanine
babble OF maniac.

BATTLES BETWEEN THE RUSSIANS AND
CIRcAssIANs.--T'he St Petersburg Gazette
Of July 2, the official paper of the Emperor
Nicholas, announces that two more battles
between the Russians and Circassians had
taken place, in which the loss was immense
on both sides. If this much is allowed BY
the Russians, il is highly probable that
they have sustained defeat at the hands
ot the Circassians.
Mr.. William Darby published, on the 4th
Of July, in the National Iateiligencer, n
card declaring that OF that anniversary OF
American independence, universal peace
was prevailing among all nations of Chris
tendon. The above announcement OF the
81. Petersburg Gazette. of July Cd, would
lead to the conclusion that Mr.. Darby was
not entirely correct in bis review Of the
worlds peace.

A TRAGEDY WITHIN A TRAGEDy.-In Italy the
impressario Of theatre has almost limitIess au-
thoriiy over the members ofhis company. Mad.
Malibran was once condemned 10 pass "a hours
in prison at Naples, for having omitted the ronio
ofthe somnambula without the permission of the
superintendent. Correlii, one Of the greatest
bariones Of Italy. lost his father Just as he was
about attending the theatre. He made the most
earnest appeals to the directors 10 lei him off for
that night, but as the house was full, and they
were in need Of money, they refused. The artistic
went on the stage overwhelmed with grief and
was received, as usual, with three rounds Of ap-
plause. Correllii endeavored to sing, but his
voice and strength utterly failed him. The pub
lic fist gave way to as!onishment, then to mnr-
nnr, then TO Kissing. Correii could endure this
no Ionger--he burst out into sob-, and coming
forward, he said. &c Gentlemen, pardon me for hav-
ing sung ialse--I have Iust lost my father No
language can give any idea OF the profound i'm
preston these few words made upon the audience.
Of course the performance was stopped.
Luci d Lammermoof was played IN the latter
rart of April last, at the theatre OF 1rapani. The
tenor, Young man OF true talent and Of great
promise learned that morning that his mother had
died He applied TO The management TO be allow
ed to absent himself from the theatre that evening
the application was denied. He begged and
prayed without snccess-he was threatened with
Imprisonment. Evening came, the unhappy
young man sung therole ofEsard with so sombre
an energy, and sensibiii'y SO profound, that the
wondering auditory warmly applanded him, new
er dreaming that the artistic experienced in his
own heart the sentiments he expressed. In the
tomb scene he rose to sublimiiv, but when he
came to the words, so bell. nldlc, innmorat,"
and the moment in which Edgar stabs himself,
he uttered cry so terrible and piercing that the
spectators were frozen with alright.
People rushed npon the sfage-they endeavor-
ed 10 raise the artist np-he was dead-he had
stabbed himself 10 the heart.
