The submissionist spare no pains TO per-
suade the people, that dissolution Of the
States would be peculiarly heavy calam'
ity to the south bringing ruin, if not civil
war, with it. This is all "fal daI." The
south has nothing whatever to fear, and
everything to hope. She has the elements
to make her the most powerful nation mp
on earth. We have read, with great plea
sure. upon this subject, an addres deleliver
ed by B. 3oykin Esq. Of Mobile, to The
Southern Rights Association in that City
in December last, from which we make tn
following extract:

with it no little acerbity of feeling, wo2i'

trade which has made the North what i
is, and which is, the foundation
of its wealth and prosperity. The fol
lowing statistical facts will illustrate the
immense loss to the North by the abandon.

sideration of those who seek our overthrow
and by consequence their own ruin.

We know but little of the mysterious con,

thing we know, that the habits of the soul act
upon the body, and the habits Of The body act
upon the soul.
A worldly man thinks very little of thsj
man of sin and plea,ure-thinks of it very little I,
yet it may be IN this very way that he is en-
craving the letters of his own futurc judgment.
on his own being. No man knows, when in a
course of sinful Indulgence, no young man IN
y career Of sensual passion, no middle aged
man in the pursuits Of ambition, or the greedy
grasp of gain, what ines he is tracing as with

to be read through eternity. It's laid that the
wicked shall be driven away in his wicked
ness; and so the wicked soul may be launched
into eternity, scared and schorched in the sigh
of all the universe, with the deep burnt en-
! craving Of his own sins, so that no book "i
! judgement would be needed to read them ou'
! of either to himself or angels.

NEBRASKA TERRIToRY.-As the season is ad
vancing when the representatives of the people
will again assemble at our national metropolis
for the purpose of looking after the general
welfare Of the country, we deem it not amiss to
direct their attention, as well as the attention
of the people themselves, to the importance Of
taking early measures for bringing into market
much, if not all, of the beautiful and fertile
lands lying within the Territory of Nebraska
To forward this project speedily as its great
importance demands, Congress should at an
early day at the next session, authorize treaty
to be held with the various Indian tribes in
habiting this territory. with view to the extin-
gushment of Indian titles.
There might be mnny good and cognent ar
guuents adduced, showing that the immediate
/ consummatiop Of the measure is Loudly called
for by public interest and safety We have moi
| time to either detail or recapitulate them al
present but shall soon discuss the subject more
at length-Kansas Ledger.

"Thc plan adopted is to wash the collars and
wristbands once week, and the whole shirt
once a fortnight; by this means much labor is
saved, and the time gained is piously devoted
to gambling. The ironing is done by means of
an instrument much resembling a warming pan,
