MEMORIAL.

To Tho Senate and House Of Representatives. ofike
United States Ia Congress assembled /: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense f agencies and taxes will be an ANNUAL
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid If permitted TO sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the lave
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assum sf
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable cIzens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands sssignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

CuBA.-Since the arrival Of the news Of the
landing Of Lopez, which we have already pub
lishcd, our city has BEEN quite alive with Cuba
excitement, On rising yesterday morning, our
eyes were greeted BY flag, with lone star and
three stripes, streaming the breeze from the top
Of the Exchange. Soon another, much larger,
loated out most gracefully from the Georgian
Office. Our republican neighbors, catching the
infection, followed the example. Nor was the
News Jealous laborer in the Cuban cause
behind hand. While we write, we understand
that there are some eight or ten hung out in
different portions of the city. The current of
feeling in our midst runs strong and deep in
behalf Of Lopez and his fellow pa riots. Few
hearts among US but are beating with anxions
hopes that victory may perch upon his standard.
And we may say to the friends of liberty through
out the country, that those among us whose in
formation and intelligence best qualify them to
speak, are confident in their expectations Of bis
success. His landing is believed to be in one
Of the most favorable quarters Of the Island,
where, strong in the physical advantages Of a
noun ainous country, and in troops Of friends,
who, but waited his arrival to rally to his STAN
dard he can laugh defiance at the captain gen.
eral and his mercenaries this, we believe
that an independent provisional government has
been organized and we should net be surprised
at any hour to see the Pampero, with the flag Of
independent Cuba unfurled from her mast, make
her entrance, amidst shouts of welcome, into our
port. And no longer will there be left to our
government the shadow Of right, TO interfere be-
tween the belligerent parties. adversely TO the
cause Of liberty. - SdUannah Georg ian, 22d ina.

R- A wonderful discovery has been made
by little paper, calling itself the Daily Non.
pareii, which discovery il very sagaciously des.
ignates the "Truth at last"
This aTru,h at last" however, happens to be
its own crooked view OF very clear statement
Of ours, relative TO the destructive effects Of that
" freedom Of action which the laws permit to
every man" 10 grind to the dust their fellow
men, whom they pretend TO treat as Christians
and equals. This freedom Of action, in its pres
ent unrestrained form, amounts TO q licence TO
do injury t. others, merely because those other.
have not capital, or intelligence, or physical
strength, 10 carry on the contention or compe.
tition.
Nov.in what way would our worthy cotemp-
orary ply that argument TO. the condition Of
the black race! OF all the working classes Of
the civilized world, il is admitted even by some
Of the fanatics, that none can boast so much
comfort, health, and happiness, os that class in
the Southern States.
The rule does not apply TO them, therefore.
They are not left by any pretended freedom Of
action 10 rot in the streets when physically dis.
abled from labor; nor are they turned adrift,
when aged, TO perih by the way-side-depend-
ent upon the insulting charity Of their neigh.
bors They are not overworked, like the white
slave Of the North, like he white slave Of Eng
land, and those Of other self styled civilized
countries.
They have time TO enjoy themselves in dane.
ing and singing; while the freedom of action
slave is scheming robbery, crime aid murder, TO
nourish himself aud his starving family. They
work reasonable time, beneficial 10 their health;
while the other is exhausted, morally and phys.
ically, by Is OF Is hours toll, and seeks the bot
tie 10 revive him. They live to happy old age
while the white. slave perishes in few years
which his taskmasters coldly calculate, as they
would the wearing out of a machine.
The freedom of action" slave has one glor
Gus remedy--lIe can turn idler, vagabond, OF
imposter, and thus gain perous and uncertain
existence that makes him loathe himself, and
forget that he is a man. lie can do this unit
the police catch him, and by harshness and pun
ishment drive him 10 crime, and so finish his
short career Of freedom"

BRIDGISG THE NILE.-The editor Of the Bos-
ton Medical and Surgical Journal, now on 4 visit
to Egypt and Nubia, gives the following ac-
count of the bridge in progress Of construction
across the Nile, near Cairo:
"A French eugineer'is constructing strong
and beautiful bridge across the river, where the
water is both deep and swift. The arches are
Of large brick. Another appears TO be building
over the Damietta branch, as seen in the distance
Mud machines, all iron, worked by steam pile
drivers, and machinery Of all kinds suitable for
carrying on heavy business beside, immense
piles of stone, brick, tinber and other materials,
independently Of aborers soldiers, carts, horses,
boats and mules, give the spot, for six miles
round, sn active and busting appearance SIX
years we are informed, have elapsed since the
piers were commenced This is the first bridge,
it is believed, ever built over the Nile II was
commenced by Mahammed Ali some years since,
and fear is entertained that it will never be
finished. The diving bell Is an extraordinary
machine with which sixty men are at once sunk
TO the river bed to drive piles, lay the founda
ton stones, &c. The water at the lowest point
is thirty feet deep, and the mud thirty more be-
low that, down through which the foundation of
the pillar is sunk, in iron boxes, till its weight
lodges on the firm bottom. The whole length
Of the piers for receiving the arches is nnety feet
Last season $4,000 men were employed at pres.
ent only 1000, the Pacha having used up his
funds in building and furnishing costly palaces
in all directions. Every three months the gov
ernor Of a district is called upon for a certain
number Of villagers for this public work."

MANUFACTURES IN kUssIA.-A correspondent
of the Allgemeine Zeitung, writing under date
of Tiflis, July 6, says:
"a great improvement is about to take place
in Russian manufactures. The cultivation and
manufacture of silk have recently been intro
duced into the Transcausian provinces, whereby
the commercial relations Of those provinces will
be greatly extended, while in the province of
Tabasaranesh fine mernos have been intro
duced, which are wrought in the Moscow facto-
ties. A large Moscow house has arranged for
the purchase of immense quantities. of raw silk,
to be transported to Moscow by steamers, via
Baka and Astrachan. This new commercial re-.
lation has opened source Of much profit and
employment to the inhabitants of Moscow, and
will afford abundant work TO large number Of
women and children. The course hitherto
adopted Of conveying the raw silk in sailing
vessels was attended with great uncertainty,
from the very limited communication by water,
and the immense expense of land carriage"

From the Ne.o York Journal ep Commerce.

Mr.. EDITOR: will give you my opinion Of
the cause of so many deaths among children. 1t
may offend some. particularly those who know
what say to be fact. Too often, when lady
becomes mother, little gin or porter is re-
commended by the doctor or nurse, to strengthen
her. The child draws this poison from the
breast Of the mother its constitution is de-
stroyed, in three months it is either dead; or is
poor, sickly thing for year, and then dies. In
my opinion, this is the key to a considerable
share of the mortality among children.
Yours, &C., r. c.
N. B.-If you want to prevent flogging in the

could be strictly enforced, poor JACK would
