Anecdote of Gen. Jackson.

The Rev. .--, who, as a Baptist
preacher and Lieutenant Governor, had at
one and the same time been in the service
of the Lord and of the State of Illinois, be-
coming dissatisfied with the honors or
profits, or both, of the posts he held, de-
termincd to resign them, and devote his
time and talents to the assistance Of the
administration in carrying on the general
Government of the country. Accordingly,
he came to Washington, and laid his case
before the President He stated his pre-
tcntions and his wishes, narrated at some
length all the prominent events of his po-
litical life, dwelling especially upon his
untiring devotion to the Democratic party,
sacrifices he had submitted to, the exertiOns
lie had made in its behalf, and its conse-
qucnt Indebtedness to him, but said not a
word of what he had done for the cause of
religion Gen. jackson heard the clerical
aspirant through in silence, and, after mus
ing moment, put the following question
to him:
"Mr. X, arc you not minister Of the
Gospel?"
81 am sir" was the reply.
"Then, sir" said the General, with his
usual quiet dignity, "Iou hold already a
higher Office than any in my gift an Office
whose sacred duties, properly performed,
require your whole attention; and really,
| think the best that l can DO for you will
be to leave you at liberty to devote your
whole time to them; for, from what you
tell me, l fear that hitherto they have been
somewhat neglected"

Mormon Progress.

Mr.. Taylor one of the Mormon missio-
naries sent out from The Salt Lake Valley,
writes from Europe, that two large estab-
lishments are fitted out in London for the
city of Salt Lake, One of these comes
out for the purpose ofmanufacturing broad
and other cloths, vestings, merinoes, al
paccas, and other fabrics of that dcscrip-
ton, together with shawls, blankets, fan
nels, &c. The other establishment spoken
of comes out for the purpose of manufac-
turing sugar, from the beet root, on the
same principle as in France. These will
require great deal Of machinery, which
it is contemplated to bring out, together
with men to work it, the object being to
manufacture every thing to be required in
the Valley, so as not to be necessitated to
purchase elsewhere.

From the (N. W Sabbath Recorder.

From the (N. ~ Sabbath Recorder.
Plank Roads have increased wonderful
ly in this section within few years. From
Rome there arc roads of this kind to Os-
wcgo, to Western, to Taberg, to Madison,
and l know not in how many other direc-
tions. From Utica, one may drive east,
west, north, or south, on plank. The cost
of these roads ranges from twelve hun
drcd to two thousand dollars per mile, ac
cording to the amount of grading required.
The road from Rome to Madison cost only
$500 per mile, while there is one run
ming from Utica southwark, which cost
S22, 100 per mile. The toll amounts to
about three-quartcrs of a cent per mile for
a one-horse team, and twice that for a
double team. This is found adequate, in
most cases, to keep the roads in repair,and
pay dividend of seven to ten per cent
annually on the stock. Instances have oc-
CURED in which The dividends were as high
as forty per cent. The stock is principally
owned by farmers along the roads, and by
the business men of the villages through
which they pass. Ifthere were never any
profits to divide, the stockholders would
probably realize the worth of their invest
ment in the increase Of business and the
saving of wear and tear on teams.

Turnpikes and Plank Roads.

We are informed that the Directors of
the Sugar Valley and White Deer Turn
pike Road, have recently resolvedto Plank
that portion of the road yet to be construc-
ted, with the design,it is believed, of plank
ing the whole road in the end. From
what we have learned of the comparative
merit of these modes of making highways,
we are inclined to think that Plank Roads
are aud will prove to be the cheapest and
most profitable, as well as saving Of time,
and rendering travelling much more pleas
ant.

made out rough estimate Of the cost of

THE WEBSTER FESTIVAL.


We learn from the Baltimore papers of yesterday
that the entertainment given to the Hon. Daniel Web
ster at Annapolis, by the Maryland Reform Conyen-
ton took place on Tuesday evening, agreeaby to pre-
vous arrangement. The company eat down to a sump'
tuous and elegantly served dinner at six. 2. NJ, at

Elk Governor Grayson and Hon. B. G.. Howard as
vlce-presidents. On the Presidents right Mr.
Webster and Hon. Daniel Jenier; the lett sat Co.
vernon Lowe, OF Maryland, and Hon. Edward Curtis,
oil New York.
All the accounts agree in representing the festival 20
have been glorious and patriotic affair all feelings OF
party having been lost sight of in doing honor to one
who labored unremtngly in the preservation OF the
Union. Toasts were given and received with great
enthusiasm all the democratic and wing senators who
united so noby in crushing the spirit Of disunion.
Mr. Webster spoke eloquently and earnestly in be.
hall Of the Union, and the Republic thus alludes to his
effort:
"The speech of Mr.. Webster this OCCASION is no
less original than impressive, and we inclined TO
believe must arrest the heedu attention and command
the approaching respect OF those who, shutting
their eyes consequences, have pre- determined dis
regard its wise montions, its patriotic impulses and its
glorious historical "reminiscences.
