The CoTToN PLANTERS CoNvENTIoN.-They
are making great preparations at Macon, Geor-
gia, for the State Agricultural Fair and Cotton
Planters Convention, to be held on the last
three days Of the present month. The object
Of the Convention is to regulate the price Of
cotton-to insure a uniform price whether the
crop is good or bad, and without regard to the
market price abroad; or, in other words, with
out regard to the supply and demand which
regulate invariably the markets of the world.
This important arrangement is to be effected,
by forming mammoth combination of cotton

The day Is cold, and dark, and dreary;
1t rains and the wind IL never weary;
The vine still clings 10 the mouldering wall,
But at every gust tho dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark, and dreary:
II rains. and the wind Is never weary;
My thoughts still cling TO the mouldering past,
But the hopes Of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
BE still, sad heart and cease repining;
Behind the clouds il the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate Of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some daYs must be dark and dreary.

SYMMEs' HoLE.-Some of our readers may re-
member that novel theory of the structure of
the earth was propounded some years ago by
Capt Symmes, and that it was explained and
advocated by John N. Reynolds, esq. The theo-
ry was, that there was opening in the earth
at each pole, and that vessels might sail through
it into the interior Of the globe if they could
once pass the barrier of ice by which il is sur
rounded. The theory was known as Symmes'
Hole, and the designation was quite generally
applied to the inventor and the advocate oft A
writer in the Montreal Herald contends that it
has been confirmed by the accounts Of the Arc
tic exploring expeditions, and that Sir John
Franklin has probably got into the hole und cant
get OUT He quotes the statement from the ac-
counts Of Capt Penny's expedition.
"Capt Penny found heavy barrier Of ice in
Wellington Channel, not very far from its open
ing from Barrow's Straits, but most remark
able change was observed as he passed to a more
northern latitude the ice which he had left las
is usual at this early season, April and May,)
firm and solid, was here decaying and unsafe,
and at last the travellers came upon open water,
drift wood Arctic animals and birds-the lat
ter in enormous numbers. Here were all the
signs of an improved climate"
He makes the following comments:
81 do not know how it will strike you, sir, but
to me, with whom the idea of openings at the
poles has been familiar some 30 years, the iufor-
nation communicated by Capt. Penny is exceed
ingly curious. Perhaps, after all, Sir John
Franklin has found this opening! Iftherc be such
an opening, it is quite probable that the strength
Of the current INTO the opening may prevent re
turn to sailing vessels. 1t would not however,
be an obstacle to the return Of steamers. How
important then it becomes that Captain Penny $
| present efcrts to obtain steamer, and return
to the open water and the improved climate,
may be successful"

NOTHING New UNDER THE SUS.-Even the
Yankee clipper-ships have been found to be
nothing new. An English paper, speaking Of
the Boston ship Statfordshire, remarks:
:" 1t is a singular coincidence that the pro-
portions of the Staffordshire are similar tc
Noah's Ark--six times her beam is her length
and two-thirds of the beam is her depth o
hold"
We long since heard the opinion expressed
by knowing men that Noah's Ark was perfect
in its proportions, and the experience of man
kind appears to confirm this truth. Some per-
sons alege that there are several things in the
Bible, the truth and wisdom of which have been
proven by human experience!

The HUNGARIANs AT THE WEsT.-The Hun
garian exiles that arrived in this city last week
find it impossible to proceed to their destination
| and provide the necessary means for subsistence
in a new country, during the winter, which will
be upon them before they could reach their
friends at New Buda
1t has been suggested to the officer, Captain
Brick, under whose command they have placed
themselves, that it would be the part of pru-
dence to procure employment for the winter at
least.
Some of them find employment on the rail-
road. There are others who are mechanics, but
not suitable for the employment offered on the
road. Some few of the soldiers are married
and have their wives with them.
If they get employment this winter which
will enable them to husband their little means
and add something to them, they can proceed
to their new settlement in n more auspicious
season of the year, and win gain experience,
and become better acclimated.
This company was presented, by Mr. Corco-
ran, of Washington, with Sl,G20, which was
paid over to the Mayor of New York and all
the money that was paid out was under the di-
rection of the hungarian committee-General
Sandford, president, and Gen Hall, treasurer
aud the Mayor one of the committee.
The delay in making arrangements for the
passage was of course, attended with expense
for board, washing, and few agricultural i'm
| plements, &C., and leaving them with only about
$500. This constitutes their whole available
means; and we must all readily perceive that
it is nothing for eighty persons to go into new
country with, where they must devote their
whole energies to the preparation Of homes
say only less than four dollars each.

The revolution I'm northern m..,co.

The Southern Press of this morning saws -
The revolution in northern Mexico begins to
assume n graver and more important aspect
than was at first apprehended 1t is yet a ques-
ton how far Americans are mixed up with it,
Three hundred are said to have Joined Caryajal
from Texas, and, if true, they will no doubt be
useful auxilaries ond though few in numbers,
not little influential in all that touches the
movement. a E
The commencement of a revolution so near
the United States boundaries will naturally
suggest to the mind the interposition of our
coantrymen; and, any way, it is impossible for
them to avoid taking an interest in what is so
near to them. The contiguity of nation of
self-governing Europeans is, of itself, q provo
cative Of revolution. No people, however mo-
rally msled, can shut themselves out entirely
from the influences and example of neighbor-
ing freer system. Mexico is n mere mockery
| of u republic. In her, as in other of the new
republican Spanish States, the great essential
condition of liberty, moral reformation has
never yet commenced She contains within her
SELF on the contrary, two undying, antagonistic
rinciples-absolutism in action in all that con-
Germs her morally, and liberty in name only
which she grasps at instinctivey, without com
pretending its depth, its force, or its obliga-
tions. E~
Internal anarchy is the resut--revolution
the perpetual type of its xistence-dissension,
military dictation, idleness, Indifference, want
of energy, and misery, is the real condition Of
the country. To such a people, the prosperity,
the spirit the intelligence Of the Americans, is
a perfect mystery and they are themselves so
far removed from that moral Independence,
which is the secret of our progress, that their
attempts ut imitation are absolutely useless and
ludicrous.
Thus, thinly scattered as we are towards
those regions and though not occupying tenth
part of the lands lying on their borders, we, the
more enterprising nation, just as naturally find
ourselves ever encroaching upon the other, in
fuencing and directing it; as the other, the
Mexican, aware of its feebleness, and despite
of its hatreds and prejudices, follows, initiates,
and appeals to US for aid for counsel, and for
action
SO appealed the down-trodden, mystifed ma
! tons, to the Roman people, until Rome at
length embraced the world, and civilized it by
her noble principles.

LITERARY NoBLEMEN.-The British nobility
are striking into, for them, new path of dis
| tinction. Lord Carlisle recently delivered lee
lures on poetry. The Duke Of Argyle Scotch
nobeman, lately on the education of the work
ing classes and Lord Lewisham, one of the
members of Parliament, is now engaged in lee
turing on "civiity." The long dsuse of arms
in Europe drives this class of persons into those
avenues of fame where talent may find con-
genial sphere; and where libbons cannot be
won by feats in the tented-feld, the laurels even
of successful lecturer are not disdaiued. The
| difference between the disengaged nobility of
England and that of the continent is, that where
the career of arms is not open to the former,
parliamentary or literary pursuits absorb their
unemployed hours. On the continent, if they
do not hold military commissions, being de-
prived of political employment, they become
degraded into gamblers or followers of court
frivolties. 1t is for this reason that the Eng
lish nobility has always been the most respect
able in Europe. Columbia Is. c. Caroliniaa.
