CORRECTION OF CHILDREN. Whenever a mother
is obliged to exercise her authority, she should be
careful to be very calm-her countenance ought to
express of than of anger; and if she feels
rightly it will wear that aspect. How should one
who cannot control herself hope to control her child
How can she expect more from an infant than she
herself practices! They are trying moments, for il
is painful to innocent face overwhelmed with
anger, or expressive of nevil passion but must
remember that these germs of evils we lament are
part of the inheritance we have ourselves bequeatheG
them that they are indeed, nterw in their very
nature-that it is only by unwearied patience that
we can hope to train them to virtue and we should
feel sympathy and compassion rather than anger and
seek earnestly subdue in hearts every SIM
full emotion and desire, and thus to overcome evil
with good" for by such means shall best promote
our childFen's happiness both here and hereafter.

The NICARAGUA OUTRAGE. We copied from the
New Orleans Picayune, few days since, the start

OF the murder of fifteen Americans, and of the ex-

9Th instant, four days after the departure of the Mex
leo, by which the news was received New Orleans,
ne had not heard OF any such murder expnsion and
that he presumes the whole statement fabrication.

! Curious FACT IN REGARD TO CoTroN. MANY
years ago, the senior editor of this paper inform
ed by his venerable and hereditary friend, Samuel
Maverick, Esq, of Pendleton, that when boy, as
clerk in the house of his uncle, Mr.. William Turpn
of Charleston he assisted in packing the first bag Of
cotton ever sent to Liverpool from the United Staes
Mr. Maverick is still living. and we export some
two millions of bags of cotton every year, The cot.
ton packed by MIR. Maverick was put in the seed!
This was long before Whitney's invention of the
cotton gin. The consgnee of this lone bag of cotton
informed the house of Wadsworth & Turpin, that he
could not sell it, that it valueIess and advised
them to send no more! low little this faithful factor
saw into futurity! 1t any had said 10 him, that
in less than seventy years, and during the lifetime Of
| the boy who had packed that very bale of cotton,
millions and millions of bags would be annually
across the Atlantic for sale in Eng land and France,
he would have pronounced him mailman, fool.
But it has been done, and has become the great
means by which civilization is to spread over the
earth. The cheapness of cotton fabrics has taught
the savage to clothe himself and exercise industry,
in obtaining the means of purchasing this comfort
and evidence of civilization. Millions of human be-
ings employed in the cultivation of cotton, hsn-
dreds OF thousands in its nanacture and the whole
world are clothed in it. This, too, has happened in
the lifetime of one man still living
In connection with this matter, we will state
another curious fact in relation the invention of
the cotton gin. Some years after the Revolutionary
war; the father OF Governor Forsyth and some other
gentlemen. who had been in service with General
Greene, went to pay his widow a visit, in the neigh
borhood Ct Savannah, and whilst there, were speak
ing of the value and importance Of cotton if there
any machinery for picking out the seed. This ope-
ration was then performed entirely by hand. Mrs.
Greene immediately said that there was then in her
house young man who seemed to possess great me
chanca talent. and she had no doubt he could con-
stru"t some machine for that purpose. Young Whit
ney was then introduced to the company. He had
never seen the cotton plant but Immediately began 10
think about the invention. In "a short time he con-
structed model gin; hut it wanted power to
throw the cotton. ginhed, fIoIp the seed. This,
Mrs. Greene herself suggested by using her fan for
that purpose. The machine then completed.
Mr. Wh!nt received from South Carolina fifty thou
sand dollars for his patent in this State He spent
it, il is said, in suits brought against multiplicity
of PERSONS who inrnged his patent in other States.
Like all the great benefdctors of mankind he has been
paid in fame, after his DEATH

GOVERNMENT EXPENSES. With about forty mil.
lions of revenue, and debt of hundred millions
hanging over the Government, it is estimated that
the expenses Of the present will not be less than
fifty millions of dollars 1t is truly alarming to look
upon the appropriation bills that before Cong
ress. They amount to nearly forty-hve millions OF
dollars, as follows:
The deficiency bills, amounting to about S2,50o,-
600; civil and diplomatic, Sc, 10000 army and or
dinance and Notifications, $l2, 100000 West Point
Academy, 100000; navy, 100000; Indian ex-
penses, Sc, 00O,0O0 post office, So, 100000; MexI-
can indemnify, 50. 100000; light house, $500,
survey $50 O0O pensions, ST. 900; total,
$40. $4,000.
In addition to the above, may mention that a
river and harbor bill, providing for the squanderlng
of about two millions of dollars, failed solely for the
want of time. The result of the movements with
reference to it, demonstrated clearly that that, or
similar measure, will be adopted by the next Con-
gress.
Five millions may be set down to the actual ex-
penditure for the usual indefinite appropriations.
Ii is now evident that under the present order of
things part of the existing debt can be met by the
receipts from customs. So far from this, there will
be sufcency of means derived from this source,
to meet the current expenses OF the Government The
nation under the auspices of the present corrupt and
profigate Administration, will become involved in a
still burdensome debt. And this presents to the
eye picture OF bankruptcy and distress truly fearful
to contemplate. The career OF the country Is down.

by the States themselves to the wild and unauthors

potism-a complexion to which it is rapidly tending
The people of the South above all others, are in
terested in these matters. They have to bear the
chiefburdens of the Government-whethert they grow
out of in defence of the honor of the Nation,
of appropriations for the benefit of favored classes
the North. Notwithstanding the territories obtained
from Mexico have all been appropriated to Free Soil
ism, large portion of the debt incurred in acquiring
them has yet to be paid, and the revenue must be
derived, great extent, from their labor. Let The
motto, then, be-retrenchment in every department
of the Government. Let the Southern people dis

SENATE.

Observation-Disclosures GOVERNMENTS, DC.
The Senate having under consideration the bill
for the admission of California into the Union the
establishment of territorial governments for Utah
and New Mexico, and making proposals to Texas
for the settlement of her northern and western
boundaries, the question pending was upon the
amendment submitted by Mr. FooTE, modified as
follows:
Amend the Sd section by inserting therein, in
the sixteenth line, after the word therefor" as
follows:
And that the said State of California shall new
er hereafter claim as within her boundaries, nor
attempt to exercise jurisdiction over, any portion
of the territory at present claimed by her, except
that which is embraced within the following boun-
daries, to wit: Commencing in the Pacific ocean,
three English miles from the shore, at the 42d de-
gree of north latitude; thence with the southern
boundary line of the Territory of Oregon to the
summit of the Sierra Nevada thence along the
crest of that mountain to the point where it inter
sects the parallel of latitude of 35 deg. 80 mn !;
thence with said parallel of latitude to point in
the Pacific three English miles from the
shore, and thence to the beginning, including all
islands, bays, and harbors adjacent to or included
within the limits hereby assigned to said State.
And new Territory is hereby established, to be
called Colorado, to consist of the residue of the
territory embraced within the limits of the said
State Of California, as specified in the constitution
heretofore adopted by the people of California
for the government of which Territory, so estab-
shed, all the provisions of this act relating to the
Territory of Utah, except the name and bounda-
res therein specified, hereby declared to- Be in
force in said Territory of Colorado.
Various propositions to amend the amendment
heretofore reported were made and rejected.
Mr.. DAVIS of Mississippi l offer the follow
ing as an amendment TO- the amendment of my col
league, to come in at the end thereof:
And that all laws and usages existing in said
Territory at the date Of its acquisition by the Uni
ted States, which deny or obstruct the right o
any citizen of the United States to remove to and
reside in said Territory with any species of prop
erty legally held in any of the States of this Union
be and are hereby declared null and void.
Mr.. YULEE. | would suggest to my friend
from Mississippi to substitute different phraseo
ogy for the word repealed something of this
sort-declared to be "null and void
Mr.. BUTLER. Repealed" is the right word
know that good deal is said here, that W.
want the doctrine of non intervention. Now,
hold that it is proper that Congress should repea
laws. and | want it to go before the people, AMI
let it be understood that it is competent for Con
gress to repeal such laws may be in existence
f and substitute therefor the constitution and tn
a laws of the United States. No one can doubt tha
