him make a purchase of one hundred
barrels of Mess Pork, at Cincinnati,
where it may cost him, perhaps,
$l,050, and let him cause il 10 be ex
ported from that city to New York.
Ifhe should get back for il in money
and goods $l,237 so, which it would
bring at the present prices here, Mr..
Corwin, according 10 the theory laid
down in his report, will have lost
money. His imports will have ex-
ceeded his exports by nearly two
hundred dollars, and he will be SO
much the poorer for having sent his
venture of pork to the New York
market. A plain man in counting
the money, and comparing 1t with
the original cost of the commodity,
would assure Mr.. Corwin that he
was gamer by the transaction, but
that would be clearly against the
theory of the balance of trade, and
therefore the plain man must be in
the wrong.
On the other hand, ifthe pork
were to be spoiled in the transporta-
ton to New York, so that it should
become total loss, Mr.. Corwin hav-
ing exported goods to the amount of
Il Thousand dollars, and got nothing
IN return, would be able 10 congrat-
ufate himself that although people in
general might look upon him as a
loser, yet by his own theory Of the
balance of trade, he had doubled the
money invested in the enterprise

nence of its writer, we ask our reades

why may not New Orleans by car

Southern civilization Are our col
leges always to be effects, and our
schools hot-beds for Northern uni
versities? Have we not self-respect,
which will spare those who thin!: with
the magazine contributors the need
of apolgizing for keeping our COM
panyl tits useless to say such feelings
do not exist. They do; and the evi-
dence is the catalogues of Northern
colleges, the millinery bills ofSouthern
ladies, the rush of Southern planters
to Northern watering places; and the
publication of such articles in a Eu-
ropean magazine of note, copied for
home circulation into a popular New
York periodical. We have no desire
to fan the present sectional excite
ment, and, SO far as that is concern
ed, we can afford tolaugh at the stor-
les OF "chaining negroes at night in
gin-houses, and feeding them on boiled
cotton seeds;" of Secretaries of the
cabinet at Washington vending their
slaves at New Orleans for prostitution
and similar amiable stories of the
Hutchinson Family, Whittier, Russell
Lowell, and other Abolition poets.
But we are earnest, for total seces-
sion in matters Of education and for
Independence thought on what is
best for southern manners and inter
ests. A few moro kicks in the face
like the one that e have copied,
possibly we may have beginning
made at home literature; and our
planters will discover that the south
is ''genial" as well in summer as in
winter.

ORIENTAL TRADITION CONCERNING ADAMS
BURIAL.-The following curious paragraph we
quote from the first volume of Southeys Com
mon Place Book:
at is a most contest tradition among the
Eastern men, that Adam was commanded by
God (and left the samein charge to his posterity)
that his dead body should be kept above ground
till the fullness of time should come to commit
to the middle of The earth by priest of the
most High God For Adam prophes'ed this
reason for it, that there should be the Redeerrer
of him and all his posterty. The priest who
was to ofliciate at this funeral, they say, was
Mechesedec, and that he buried this body Mt
Salem, which might very well be the middle of
the habitable world as then. Therefore Gas
they say this body of Adam was embamed
and transmitted from father TO son by rever-
end and religious way of conveyance, till at last
it was delivered up by Lamech into the hands OF
Noah, who being well advised Of that fashion
of the old world, which was to worship God to-
ward certain place, and considering with him.
self that this could not be towards the right
(which was the East) under the Inconsistency and
Inconvenience of ship, appointed the middle OF
the ark for the place Of prayer, and made it ms
holy as he could by the reverend presence OF
Adams body Towards this place, therefore, the
prayer was said, not as terminating any the least
moment of divine worship in the body, Git were
a stupid thing to think so) but where it ought
to be, and when it ought to be, and where ali
do, or shall do, in God himself and only him
az the very tradition distinctly cleareth the case
