in every Common School House within the limits of
the State.
Biography is also pleasing study for children.

Washington And here would beg leave to re-
commend work. but very little known, entitled the
Lives of the Sgners to the Declaration of Indepen

an excellent book for common reading. Now, kind
reader, you may inquire, where can these works be
obtained By applying to the bookstore of Mr.
Pierce, in Wilmington, and, according to the known
laws of trade, will warrant that the supply will
soon equal the demand. And now, as the foundation

We have received nothing definite from Cuba
since our last. There is no doubt LOPEZ has landed
somewhere on the Island with about 800 men.
The Savannah News has been permitted to make
the following extract from letter received in that
city, dated
"JAcKsoNv1LLE, Fla, Aug II 1851.
" A vessel arrived here yesterday morning from
Cardenas having made the passage in five days from
that port

that the Government troops had had several
tiers with the patriots of some Importance, in
which the latter had completely routed the Span

fourteen pieces of artillery. which, without doubt,
means great deal.

GSy~Old Tom MARSHALL, who has recently heen
elected to the House of Representatives of the Ten
nessee Legislature, made speech on the night of
his election, in which he is reported to have said that
& he wished to make out account current with
the Democratic party. He acknowledged that he
owed his election to them, and he set himself down
as debtor for that. But he had supported Mr. Polk,
and otherwise done the party some service for that
he claimed credit, and called upon the Democrats
present to say which side the balance stood
Some of them cried out, Oh we are indebted to
YOU Well,' said MARSHALL, Il forgive you the
balance, square the accounts close the books, and
from heneeforth am Wing forerer,'" We really
fear Mr. MARSHALL has fallen from grace. But we
never placed any faith in the stability of any prom
nent member of the Wing party, when we have seer
them join the Democrats for popular favor. MIR
MARSHALL has always been understood to have sup
ported Mr. Polk because be hated Mr. CLAY.

FUGITIVE SLAVE CAsE.-The Harrisburg State

"a fugitive slave was arrested last week near Co.
lumbia by constable Snyder, brought to this place,
and after hearing before Commissioner MAllister,

During the night attempt was made to fire

The New YORK Journal OF Commerce, OF Monday
evening, says:
There is better demand for business paper this
morning. although with no change in the rates of
interest Many capitalists who have been out of
town during the summer heats now returning,
and the amount of funds available for street discounts
is increasing. The banks, like ship with her storm
sails set, have adapted themselves to the state
of things and ali classes slowly recovering from
the excitement prevalent during the height of the
recent panic.
Further arrivals from California may be expected
here by the 2lst when if the amount specie should

gotiated more freely. Already there is more conf.
dence felt in second and third class houses, and,

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, can put up, best suit this
purpose. The child likes something startling won

breadth escapes, &C., which, under the recital of
some authors, can be so arranged that, while they
attract the attention and interest the feelings will
at the same time instruct the mind and heart. An

they cannot avoid direct teaching, but it should
not make its advances papable as to brighten the
child into the belief of its learning task instead of

lead to the sickly sentimentalty of novel reading
