FORGET YOUR INJURlEs.-Hs is I'M
wise and unhappy who never forgets the
injuries he may have received; they are
indented on his face, making the visage
Of the injured man frightful, like ne
elected wounds inflicted upon the state
!y tree, and which might have been eff
faced by the careful husbandman. They
come home TO his heart like, when the
sunshine of happiness would bless him,
and throw him into tumult, that not
easily subsidies. The demon of hate
reigns in his bosom, and makes him Of
all accountable creatures the most mis-
cradle.
Have you been injured in purs, W
character Let the smiling angel OF
forgiveness find repose in your bosom
and YOU will be fully revenged, and what
is of more consequence, your health and
peace of mind will be improved.

PoLITICAL COMPLEXION OF Mr.. SUMNER.
The New York Evening Post, Demo
cratic authority, thus ciassifies Mr.. Chas'
Sumner, the Senator elect from Massa-
chusetts:
"In politics Mr. Sumner is doctr'.
uaire. He is well known TO be opposed
to all class or special legislation, aud 10
be a firm champion of States rights
He has never held any close connexion
with either of the great political par
ties Of the country, though, till within the
last few years. he has been cassed win
the Wings. We have classed him with
the Democrats, because that on all the Is
sues which have been made between him
and his opponents in the Legislature nc
has occupied g Democratic position anu
we have no doubt that AL his sympathle'
aud convictions will lead him TO ma'n'
tain that position"

A Uniot, Association has been formed
in Mobile, Alabama. The constitution
declares its principles TO be the preserva.
ton of the Union, and opposition to all
schemes of secession or disunion, based
upon the late acts of Congress, commonly
called the adjustment measures, whether
such schemes be agitated in the North
or the South; and its objects are defined
to be "the preservation of the .consttu-
ton of the United States as it is, the
maintenance of the rights of Alabama
as a member of the Union. and the pre-
servation and enforcement of the adjust.
ment measures of the last Congress-.

SOUTH CARoLINA-ProgreSs of Erents.
The Greenville Patriot of the llth ult.
contains extracts from numerous letters
addressed to the editors from various sec.
tions of the State, upon which the edi-
tors make the subjoined comment:
"It will be seea that a large portion of
our paper this week is filled with extracts
from letters received We feel assured
that our readers will take an interest in
seeing what public opinion is in different
sections of the country. Heretofore, pub.
lie opinion. in opposition TO secession, has
been a sealed book in South Carolina.
and the people of the other States were
under the impression that we were a unit
in our folly and madness. But il is man.
ifest, that so far from being all in favor of
secession, we are likely TO be opposed
to it. The great mass of the people are,
and it will soon be seen that no one can
doubt it. The newspapers and poili-
clans will have to fall into the raLks OF
| the people, or stand alone. All hope of
assistance from the other Southern States
is gone. AS one of our Charleston cor
respondents remarks, the reaction in the
city, since last fall, is incredible. But
| it is the same throughout the State. The
payment Of our enormous taxes, as our
Hamburg correspondent remarks, has
opened the eyes Of the people TO the
beginning of their troubles. 1t is now
time, as another correspondent remarks,
TO turn cur attention to grievances in our
Government at home.
"tor many years past, the whole ener.
gy and talent of South Carolina has been
directed to a continued quarrel with the
| Federal Government and to the neglect
of every thing else. What have we
gained by it! Nothing but constant
political excitement, and the loss OF our
population, property, and prosperity II
| the talents and labors of our distinguish.
ed men had been directed TO the improve.
ment Of the State, in her agricultural,
commercial, manufacturing, social aud
literary pursuits, how much more would
it have redounded TO their glory aud the
| glory of South Carolina? Iustead OF be-
| ing behind the Southern, States, as the
late census shows, we should have been
equal, if not in advance of them, IN pros

UNIoNIsM IN MIssIssIPPI.-We find in
the Natchez Courier very encouraging
accounts of the successful manner in
which Senator Foote is carrying on the
Union campaign in that State against
disunion. The Courier gives the follow
ing examples of the results of two Of the
public discussions. in which Gen. Foote
me; the advocates of secession:
On the 18th inst. Senator Foote ad-
dressed large audience in Decatur,
Newton county. Judge Smith made a
response, and most Intellectual one, if
we decide by the action of the audience.
Gen. Foote 1--WE learn from the Flag,) at
the close of his speaking proposed vote
of the people upon the Issue presented
by the Southern Rights Associations. IF
there be any one here, said he. "other
than my respectable antagonist, who is
in favo. of Southern Congress, and
through that body demanding secession,
unless the lire of SO 80 shall be run
through California to the Pacific. and un-
less amendments to the Constitution shall
be conceded, such as the Southern Rights
Association claim, | invite him to hold
up his hand"
Not single individual did so, and Gen.
Foote, therefore, claimed the meeting as
unanimously in favor of acquiescence and
opposed to the resistance contemplated
by the SO. o.called Southern Rights party.
To this claim no one on the ground OBJ
jected, nor was any opposition presented
TO Gen. Foote's views. This significant
expression of public feeling in the East
is indeed truly cheering, but what a left
handed compliment it was 10 the cham
pon of the ressters, who had travelled so
far and labored SO hard to counteract
Senator Foote'S efforts,
A similar test vote was taken in Clark
county, Immediately after the speeches Of
MIR. Speaker McRae and Senator Foote.
The audience numbered about 400 of the
| most respectable and intelligent citizens
of the county. Gen. Foote requested
those who were in favor of the Union.
as it now stands under the compromise,
to go to the right; those OF contrary
opinion, to go to the left. Nearly the
whole crowd went over to the right leav.
ing only about fifteen, who remained
with Col McRae on the left side OF the
house; and this occurred in the county
of Col. McRae's residence!

USES OF GUTTA PERcHA--The public
may not be aware of the progress made
in the preparation and manufacture OF
tk.s singular article. BY different pro-
cesses it is made elastic like India rub
Der, hard like marble, and fit to spread

been made of it, and long used without
injury, which possesses all the external
qualities of polished marble. Race hor-
ses are shod with It in England. An

with tires on its wheels made of gutta

its properties believe that in two years
it will be adopted universally in this city

Senator Douglass. of Illinois, on re-
cent visit to Richmond, Va. was tender.
ed mplimentary dinner, in declining
which. he gave utterance to the follow
ing sound sentiment, relative to the pre-
servation of the Union:
Il have long been deeply impressed
with the conviction that the preservation
of our Federal Union. aud of the rights
Of the people of the States, all depend
upon a strict and faithful observance of
the Constitution. with all its guarantees
and compromises. 1t is not sufficient
that the letter of the Constitution should
be maintained; its genius and principles
must be cherished and sustained in the
spirit of true patriotism and fraternal
affection. Our republican institutions can
only exist so long as they command the
respect and affection of the people. They
cannot be maintained by force; nor can
they survive any sectional strife and hos
tile legislation. The several States must
act on the golden rule which obtains
among all good neighbors each mindiug
it's own business, and leaving the others
to regulate their own domestic affairs in
their own way.

RAILROAD TO THE PAcIFIC.-Mr. V. E.
Howard, one of the Representatives in
Congress from Texas, has published in
Galveston letter on the subject of the
Pacific Railroad route through Texas
1t is accompanied by communication
from Col Albert, of the U. S. Topograph.
ical Engineers. He makes the cost of a
railroad from the Mississippi to the Rio
Grande, passing the head of navigation
of all the principal rivers in Texas, and
from the Rio Grande to the Pacific,
amount to the trifle of eighty.five mil
lions of dollars. This estimate is at the
rate of $4,000 per mile to the Rio
Grande, and 100000 per mile for the
road beyond-the whole distance being
about 1,7O0 miles.
Mr.. Howard is sanguine enough TO
believe that Whitney's railroad scheme
will pass Congress at the mex: session,
with Southern branch through Texas.
He thinks it cannot pass without the
Southern branch, and that Texas has
now full control over that part of the
question, and can secure it by giving the
aid of her own public domain on similar
terms with those asked by Whitney,
Mr. Howard is going to write further
and special communication on this sub
iect.

and 200 passengers. The COLUMBIA
brought 1920 900 in gold, on freight.
The Georgia sailed from Havana on
| the 1st inst.
Great excitement prevailed in relation
to The anticipated invasion.
A number of persons have been I'M
prisoned on suspicion. and among them
three priests accused of preaching sedl-
| tious sermons.
The day of the Georgia's arrival was
celebrated by the execution Of poor
fellow, who had been sent by Lopez TO
procure pilots for the expedition. This
is the first execution for political offence
! that has taken place and has created con-
siderable ill-feeling against the new Gov
ernor General. a-
Matters at Havana are assuming an
alarming aspect. Many persons are pre-
pairing to leave. The Captain General
has taken every precaution against, the
| INVASION; lookouts have been stationed
all along the coast within two miles OF
each other. and vessels of war are con-
stantlv cruising between San Antonio
and Havana.
A rencontre had taken place between
| some American seamen, and the lnhaol'
tants of Havana. The sailors who were
drunk, were Immediately arrested and
confined in the stocks, from the effects
of which treatment two of them died.
The American Consul has taken the mat,
ter in hand for investigation.
The fourth of the Chagres murderers
had been arrested at Porto Bello and
brought to Panama, where he was con-
demned and confined in prison. They
were all to be shot in few days.
Advices from Oregon to the goth ult,
had been received.
Judge Thurston, the delegate from Or
egon, died on board the California and
was buried at Acapulco.
Senator Gwynn had been i'll, but was
recovering at last accounts.
The Chagres railroad will, 1t is said,
be finished to Gorgona by the last OF J u
ly, if the weather continues good.
The inha abi.ants have established a
regular police, and life and property Is
much safer than it has before been.
