TIE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.
q 7r BrCagham.

There is great fuss kept np a3oHt South
crnrights and Northern aggrcssons, and ail
that sort OF thing, we presume it will do much
20 quiet matters and subsde the troubled poiti-
| cal waves, if we can demonstrate as we hold
ourselves prcparc,: to do, that there is no slch
Il thing rs the Scr!.l. We Go not deny that
there is Il point O.! the compass called, !ur the
sake of convenience, ''t'!u South. and thai there
is one portion Of the Conrderacy farther re-
moved from tie North Pole than another. All
this is very cilecriniIy conceded, bus Goes not
in the least affect nnr proposition. 1t can be
SHOWN that every thing in the pace we desig-
nate "the South has n Northern origin, except
perhaps the soil and sunshine, then the case
shall have been clearly made out.
The farmer cutivates his land with Northern
tools, feeds and clothes his family with North
crn products; he employs Northern govern
eSs, VINO teaches his daughters to perform
Northern music on a Northern piano, and to
read Northern novels, and follow Northern
fashions. He learns his son to ride Northern
horse, with 4 Northern bride and saddle, and
urge him on with Il Northern whip or North
cra spurs fastened to Nort!erm boots; he sends
him to school TO Northcrn teacher, to be
taught in Northern books, and finishes his men-
tal provision by sc#,ng him to Northern
College. The housewife sees her Northern
furniture and Northern plate through her North
crn spcctacIeS; sac prepares heT Northern Hour
VITA Northern v.lst, :,:i'. bases it in North
ern oven, cuts it with Northern knife, puts it
in Northern dish, and places it before her
guests, who are seated Oh Northern chairs a.
round il Northern table covered with a North
ern cloth she doses her children with North
ern medicine, dresses in Northern prints, and
every thing about her is Northern from the nut
meg she CRATES to the carriage in Which she
rides. 1t is the same with her licge lord, he
drinks his Northern brandy from Il Northern
tumblcr, glits his Northern cigar with North

A communication from Vienna, un
der date of March Dist, which ap-
pears in the English papers, says:
2 THE American Charge d'Affairs,
Mr.. McCurdy, accompanied by two
attaches, arrived here few days
since, and has been very favorably
received by Prince Schwartzenherg.
The affair of MIR. Dudley Mann ap
pears to have been satisfactorily ex-
planned; but j believe Mr. Mann was
really despatched TO Hungary, that,
IN case she should assert her indie
pendence, America might be the first
TO acknowledge 1t! He had not,
however, at.v authority to assist di-
rectly or int fectly in the struggle.
1t is fortunate, moreover, that he did
not take any steps IN the matter, or
even proceed to Hungary, for as af-
fairs turned he might have met with
unpleasant reception. His imperial
highness the archduke Ferdinand
4Max will leave Vienna this afternoon
for Trieste, whence he WI, start on
his long-projected voyage 10 Ameri-
ca. The Emperor, his brother, will
accompany him to Trieste; so sup
pose we may consider that Aus
tria and the United States are sha-

At Modena, in Italy, about four
miles around it, wherever the earth
is dug, when the workmen arrive at
distance of sixty-three feet, they
come 10 a bed of chalk, which they
bore with an augur, FIVE feet deep.
They then withdraw from the pit
before the augur is removed, and
upon its extraction, the water bursts
upon with great violence, and quick
ly fills the well thus made, which is
affected neither by rains nor droughts.
At the depth of fourteen feet are
found the ruins of an ancient city,
houses, paved streets, and mosaic
work. Below this again, is layer
ofearth, and at twenty-six feet, wal
nut trees are found entire, and with
leaves and walnuts still upon them.
At twenty-eight feet, soft chalk is
found, and below this, vegetables and
trees as before.

clerkship, used TO be occasionally
swept by the father of the Prophet,
for a glass Of grog, or such articles

who were mere vagrants, making
shift to live as they could, and spend
ing much of their time in nocturnal
money-digging. The men whose
testimony and affidavits concerning
the family are contained in the book
alluded TO, which is to expose the
fraud, were several of them our ia

that what they say of the money

We clip the following from a splen-
did article upon Curran, the great
Irish orator:
"Curran sprang from the people.
He was born at Newmarket, an OBJ
scure town in the county of Cork, in
l75O-beiilg thus four years younger
than Grattan. On the fathers side
he was descended from one of Crom-
wells soldiers. Passing his child
hood in inc country, he was !hee%'n
much among the people. He loved
to recall the days when he played
marbles in the street Of Newmarket,
or assumed the par, of Punch's man
at a country fair. He loved to visit
the peasantry i'm their cabins, and to
lister. to other tales. There he saw
the Irish character--its wit, i,ss i;s Ihii;-
NOR, its sensibility to mirth and tears
There, too, those rough natures,
which appear so sullen and savage,
when brought face to face with their
OppressorE, he found the finest aud
sefl1s7est affections of the human
heart. There, too, he found a natu-
raj poetry and eloqlence, He was
a constant attendant ri inc weddings
and wakes Of the neighborhcod. 1t
was customary al that lime to en-
gaoy hired mourners for the dead, and
thSir wild and solemn lamentations
struck his youthful imagination. In
after years, no acknowledged that

iriyed listening to the laments Of

To SLEEP TO DlE.-Never was
there more practical and terrible
application of Hal0let's memorable
doubling questioning. life-or-death
soliloquy than in the case of the
three negroes in Texas, two of whom
Ia man his wife-were lately found
by a return party of the Mexican
Boundary Commission in a state of
starvation, having killed and nearly
devoured their .comrade. The La
vaca paper says they had lived for
many weeks on roots and such things
as they could pick up but finally be-
coming so nearly FINISHED with hun
ger that one of the men proposed
that they should cast lots 10 see
which of the three should be killed
and eaten by the others; but Henry
would not agree that his wife should
cast lots, for il it should fall upon her
to be killed he could not eat mouth
full of her, So the two men agreed
that the first one that got to sleep
should be killed by the other. Hen
ry who had his wife 10 help him
proved the most wakeEul, and the
other fella victm 20 the demand of

The Fugitiue Slaue Case.-The
Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Clipper, speaking of the
late Boston case, says:
Our anxiety to hear the result Of
the proceedings growing out of the
Sims fugitive case in Boston, has
been gratified. The departure ofthe
slave for Savannah, at four O'Clock
this morning, as the telegraph informs
us, will not be so Satisfactory TO the
South as if he had been shipped in
open day. However,, a rescue was
apprehended, and hence the selection
of this early hour, when the fanatics
were locked in aromatic slunlber,
dreaming, perhaps, of the contempla-
ted conflict with the general govern
ment; but they awoke to their own
confusion, and will, OF course, emit aii
extraordinary quantity of spleen
forthwith, or forth,Uitit-er.
A gentleman who recently came
from Boston to Providence says, that
the abolitionists all along the way
and inthe last named city, were also
prepared to rescue the fugitive slave,
should he pass that way. But FThe
best laid schemes of mice and men,
