My dear friends-I will tell you how
to enjoy as much bliss as heaven can af-
ford to humanity. Be contented with
what you have, till you have an opportu.
nifty to get something better. Be thank
full for every crumb that falls from the ia.
BILE of Providence, and live in constant
expectation of having the luck to lit h
upon whole loaf. Have patience to put
up with present troubles, and console
yourself with the idea that your situations
are paradises compared with others
When you have enough to eat to satisfy
hunger-enough to drink to quench thirst
-enough--of what is vulgarly called
tin" to procure you few luxuries-
when you owe no one, and no one owes
you, not even judge-then if you are
not happy, all the gold in the universe
can't make you so. A man much wiser
than I, once said, "Give me neither po-
verify nor riches" and | look upon him as
one of the greatest philosophers the world
ever produced. All he wanted was a
contented mind sufficient bread and clean
shirt. Take pattern after him, O, ye dis
contented mortals, who vainly imagine
that bliss is alone to be found in the pla.
GERS of wealth and opulence.
My hearers-If you consider all crea.
ton too poor to afford You single pen.
ny.worth of true blesseduess, you must
pray to be rcconeiled to its poverty
Grease your prayers with faith, and send
:hem up in carnestness, hot from the souls
oven. This manufacturing cold petitions
with the lips, while the heart continually
cries CANNON, is no more use than talk
ing Chocktaw to Chinese. Heaven
understands no gibberish; it only knows
the pure, simple language of the spirit
the souls vernacular. So, when you
pray, do it in as simple manner as pos
sible, but with red hot earnestness, and
your souls will find rest wherever you are
whether nibbling at crust in Poverty's
Hollow, or starving in California, while
endeavoring to transmogrify bag of gold
dust into an Indian meal pudding.

The news from the whaling expedition in

The whole fleet is all but a complete wreck.
and the enterprise, as far as it has gone, is
an utter failure. In consequence of this in

The Largest Pile Of Specie in the
WAclh

According to a recent return of the Bank
France, the specie on hand amounted to SIX
hundred and seven millions of francs, or about
one hundred and fifteen millions of dollars
This we believe is the largest amount of spe-
Gle ever collected together. The Bank of
England has not had, at any time, over one
hundred millions.
In France, the legal currency is silver and
not gold, hence it is probable that nearly ali
this specie is silver, hence the recent diminu-
ton OF silver in this country. The enormous
accumulation of silver in the Bank of France
is regarded as an unfavorable symptom of her
trade-for the discounts and circulation of
the bank have diminished. Hence trade is
stagnant. 1t is probable that the fear of po-
litical convulsion at the next Presidential E.
lection operates powerfully on the bank and on
merchants to restrain them from an expan-
sion of credit.

Gen. Winfield scott.

There is but one opinion entertained among
the Wings of this quarter, says the HoLidGys-
burg Register, in regard to the next Presi-
dency, and that is, that with no other man
than Gen. Scott, can they have any expecta-
tion of carrying the State; whilst with him
as their leader they are as certain of victory
as if the battle were already won. And in
deed so strong does the feeling run in favor
of the Old Hero that many avow their deter
mination to support him regardless of party
conventions, or any thing of the kind For
our own part, we are for SCoTT and VICTORY,
and for Just such a course as will secure his
election. We have been for him ''from the
START" and from the hour that Polk, Marcy,
Pillow & Co. villainously robbed him of his
command, and disgraced him on the field of
his glory and in the face of his gallant army,
our heart and our hand have been set for his
promotion to the Presidency. ScoTT and
VICTORY is now our walchword.

Cure for Gravel.

Having much sympathy for all those
troubled with the gravel, you may relieve
many sufferers by inserting in your paper
the following valuable receipt, which sell
dom fails to relieve and entirely cure that
dreadful disease:
Make strong tea of wild carrot, of
the flower and seeds, into pint of which
put piece of saltpeter, about the ize Of
two large peas; let the patient drin k it as
warm as possible and in bed, and it will
produce a copiuos perspiration; it m ay be
taken at other times during the day, and
will act as a diuretic.

from that city under date of September 10Th

spoken to you is drawing very near. Between
the 10th day of September and the middle OF
end of next May. the destinies of Europe for
probably half a century-which in these days
is very long time-wilI be decided. A
fierce struggle-it may be a most desperate
and bloody struggle-between liberty, civil
and religious, on the one hand, and hoary des-
potism in politics and the religion on the
other. What will be the issue, COP alone
knows
"l find that there is wonderful actirity

are constantly sending and receiving des-
patches. Nor the Ministers resident of the
smaller Powers, such as SARDINIA, Naples.

Letter from General Scott.
OFFICIAL

The New York Times states that some
few months since, gentleman of Pennsylva
mia, at the request of eight members of the
State Senate, wrote letter to Gen. Winfield
Scott, addressing him as the undoubted Whig
candidate for the next Presidency, and re-
questing his opinions upon the various politi
cal questions which have agitated the coun.
try. To that letter Gen. Scott wrote the fol.
lowing reply, in which, it will be seen, he re.
fers to his past life and his character for his
opinions
WASHINGTON, March 26, 1851.
SIR | have received your letter, marked
confidential, in which, after committing the
error of supposing me fully before the coun-
try as the Whig candidate for the Presiden-
cy,' you proceed to interrogate me on many
points of grave public interest.
Permit me to say that, considering we shall
probably only have Wing candidate for the
Presidency through national Convention,
and that cannot be its nominee except by
the force of the unsolicited partiality of large
masses of my countryman:
Considering, also, that ifm character or
principles be not already known, it would
now be idle to attempt to supply the deficient
information by mere paper professans of wis
dom and virtue, made for the occasion:
And considering that if | answer your
queries, must GO on and answer others al
ready before me, as well as the long series
that would inevitably follow, to the disgust
of the public
will beg permission to close this acknowl-
edgement of your letter, by subscribing my
self, With great respect,
Your obedient servant
WINFIELD SCOTT.

WHEREAS, there is reason to believe that
a military expedition is about to be fitted out
IN the United States, for the purpose of inva-
ding the Mexican Republic, with which this
country is at peace,-and whereas, there is
reason to apprehend that portion of the peo-
pie of this country regardless of their duties
as good citizens are concerned in, or may be
seduced to take part in the same
AND WHEREAS, such enterprises tend to
degrade the character of the United States
in the opinion of the civilized world, and are
expressly prohibited by law, now, therefore,
| have issued this, my Proclamation, warning
all persons who shall connect themselves with
any such enterprise, in violation of the laws
and national obligation of the United States,
that they will thereby subject themselves to
the heavy penalties denounced against such
offenders; that if they should be captured
within the jurisdiction of the Mexican au-
thorities, they must expect to be tried and
punished according to the laws of Mexico
and will have no right TO claim the interpo-
sition of this Government in their behalf
therefore expect all wel-disposed citizens
who have at heart the reputation of the coun-
try, and are animated with just regard for
its laws, its peace and its welfare, to discoun-
tenance, and by all lawful means prevent and
any such enterprise; and | call upon every
officer of this Government, civil or military,
to be vigilant in arresting, for trial and pun
isnmeht, every such offender.
