YOUNG MEN.-The idea is prevalent in some
communities that young men are unfit for gen.
erals or statesmen, and that they must be kept
in the background until their physical strength
is impaired by age, and their intellectual facul-
ties become blunted by years. Let us look to
the history of the past, and from the long list
of heroes and statesmen who have nobly dis
tinguished themselves, we will find that they
were young men who performed those acts which
have won for them an impelishable need Of
fame, and placed their names high on the page
of history. Alexander, the conqueror of the
whole civilized world, viz Greece, Egypt and
Asia, died at 33. Bonaparte was crowned En-
peror Of France when 33 years of age. Pitt,
the younger brother, was about 20 years of
age when, in Britain's Parliament, he boldly
advocated the cause Of the American colonies;
and but % when made Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Edmund Burke, at the age of 25,
was the First Lord of the Treasury. Our own
Washington was but 25 when he covered the
retreat of the British Mt Braddocks defeat, and
was appointed as the Commander-in Chief Of
all the Yirginian forces Alexander Hamilton,
at 20, was Lieut.. Colonel and Aid to Wash
ington; at 20 member of Congress, and at 81
Secretary Of the Treasury. Thomas Jefferson
was but % when he drafted the ever memorable
Declaration of Independence. At the age Of
30 years. Sir Isaac Newton occupied the me-
chanical chair at Cambridge College, England,
having, by his scientific discoveries, rendered
his name immortal.

jews IN CHINA.--The North China Herald, of
Jnnuary l8, gives an account of a colony ofJews,
recently discovered in the interior of China.
Their pronunciation differs in nothing from that
of the Chinese; they sound therefore neither
the b, the G, nor the r. In Hebrew, their pro-
nunciation resembles very little that of the
German or Polish Jews. They have the same cal
endar that is common to other Israelites, as well
as the custom of saying the prayer after the re-
newal of the moon. They calculate the festival
of the law on the ninth day of the feast Of taber
nacles, and hence may be referred like SINH
larity in all usages founded on tradition. They
believe in purgatory, hell paradise, universal
judgment, and the resurrection Of the dead.
They admit of angels, cherubim and seraphim.
They have particular symbol for the articles
of faith. Their children are circumcised at eight
days old. Their Sabbath is observed with the
greatest strictness. They light no fire on that
day, preparing their food on the preceding day.
They marry only among themselves. They
take no pains to propagate their religion, and
never make proselytes.

JAMAICA IN 1850. This is the title of an in
teresting work published in New York, by John
Bigelowe, and displays the growth of the island
under the system of emancipation in a highly
favorable light Some of the statistics are wor-
thy of the special attention of the eolored pop
ulation of the large cities. The last census Of
the island was taken in 1874, when the popula-
ton consisted Of 377 ,433 whites, 1915;
browns, 68,529; blacks, 293, 1873; the whites
forming but one-twenty fifth part of the popu-i
lation, and diminishing in numbers, wealth and
influence. The possession Of four or FIVE acres
of land confers the right to vote in the selec-
ton of members Of assembly. The blacks are
ambitious to- possess and exercise the privilege
They are daily becoming better acquainted with
the advantages which the elective franchise
confers. The recent election of several of their
order to the assembly has greatly infamed this
ambition. There are now three negroes in the
assembly, and the blacks and browns hold the
balance of power. Mr. Bigelowe predicts that
before twenty years Jamaica will be one of the
United States of America that New York is
the natural commercial capital of jamaica and
not London or Liverpool. There is some force
in this observation, butit does not appear to be
an event likely to happen within SO brief Pc
riod. The voyage from New York to Jamaica
Is never performed in steamers in six days, and
four steamers now run. The voyage between
Jamaica and England is thrice as long. New
York has four steamers in ply--England has
but two. Jamaica receives nearly all her sup,
plies of provisions from New York. What an
inducement to the colored population Of our
cities to emigrate to Jamaica, there to become
!" lords of the soil,' members of assembly, gov
ernors, free citizens of the isand.--PhiL. Ledy.s
OUTRAGE ON A MINIsTER.-The Mobile Daily
Register of May 28th says: "We are informed,
by a gentleman from the country, that the Rev.
William Johnson, officiating Episcopal minister
at Tuscaloosa while on recent visit to Lowndes
county, was waylaid near the residence of Col.
r. 2. MeCord by two young men named Otis
Rush and Judson Rush, aud beaten so severely
with clubs that his life is despaired of by his
attending physician, Dr.. Paul Lee. This in
famous attack on beloved minister of the
Episcopal church-one who stands next to
Bishop Cobb himself in the diocese was
prompted, it is surmised, by an old grudge that
had its origin many years since when these
young men were members of n school in
Lowndes county, of which Mr.. Johnson was
the principal"

Monroe Agricultural Society,

The Board of Managers Of the "Monroe Coun-
ty Agricultural Society" met in Woods6eId. on
the Slst day Of July, 1851. being the time agreed
upon at the last meeting of the Board. and proceed
ed to fix the amounts Of the premiums on the va
rious articles in the list heretofore published, which
will be found below. y ae llt.ic q Z
The Board will take this occasion to say that the
premiums are not so large nor the articles as nu.
merous as they had hoped; this is owing. however,
to the fact that our Society is yet in ITS infancy
Many look upon it as an experiment that may not
succeed, and have not given It their Influence;
We, however. feel that the Society deserves and
will receive the support Of the public. 81 AH-
The Board earnestly recommend the farmers to
bring ont their stock to the exhibition; let none be
deferred from the fear Of heing ecpsed by others.
The only thing the Board fears is that the farmers
will not bring out their stock, &c., under the i'm
preston that it is not worth exhibiting. They
hone this will not be the case .uat l.t
