DANIEL WEBsTER.-When Mr.. Web
ster's speech in the United States Senate,

| DANIEL WEBsrER-When Mr.. Web
ster's speech in the United States Senate.
| a year ago last March, burst upon the
| nation, like a clap of thunder out of q
clear sky, bringing upon him the curses
of the Abolitionists, and causing his name
TO be coupled with those of Benedict
Arnold and Judas Iscariot, we remarked
that we should not be at all surprised
that he wovld be the next President of
the United States. Public opinion has
since recovered from its effervescence,
and the favor with which he is regarded
by the nation at large, is seen to be sur
passngly great. The prevalence and in
:ensity of this feeling were every where
manifest during the march of the process
sion here on Tuesday last. Wherever
he went, the welkin rang with applause.
A large part of the North, there is reason
to believe, regard Mr. Webster with
similar favor-in kind, if not in degree.
They feel that the nation is greatly in-
debted to him for his patriotic course.
The South regards him with profound
admiration and gratitude. To their minds,
his course on the slavery question, taking
into view the part of the country which
he represented, and the personal hazards
which he encountered, partakes Of moral
sublimity. Before. they distrusted him;
now. they coutide in him. They are not
afraid that he will violate the Constitution
for the sake of disturbing their domestic
arrangements.
We make these remarks, not to Indicate
our own preference, either way. Our
business is not President making, and we
have no desire that it should be. But
truth is truth, Notwithstanding. I'm.
doubtedly if MIR. Webster should be
nominated for the Presidency, and his
opponent should be even equivocal on the
subject of the Compromise, including the
Fugitive Slave Law we should come
out fiat-footed for the former. The CON-
promise is the absorbing consideration.
and all others must yield to it But sup.
posing the candidates to be equally sound
on this head. their views and qualifica-
tions in other respeces would require to
be taken into account. That cannot be
done, until we know who the candidates
are.--N. Y. Journal Of Commerce.

A PETRIFIEp CORPSE IN WISCONSIN,
The Fond du Lac Journal relates the fol-
loving very extraordinary case of rapid
pe.rifaction
On the goth August, 1047, Mrs. Phleps,
wife of our informant, Abner P. Phelps,
died and was buried at Oak Grove, Dodge
county. On the 11th April ult., she was
taken up, to be removed to Strong s
Landing. The coffin was found to be
very heavy, and the body to retain its
features and proportions. After its re-
moval to Strong's Landing, distance OF
forty-fve miles, the body was examined
and found to be wholly petrificd-ccn-
verted to substance resembling light
colored stone, Upon trial, edge-tools
made no more impression upon it than
upon marble In striking upon the body
with metal. hallowing ringing sound
was produced.
The disease by which she came to her
death was chill-fever and drorsy, and
when the body was buried it was very
much swollen. The ground in which
she had been buried was yellowlsh loan,
and the body Lay about three leet above
the lime rock.

EDUCATION.-EducatiO in .he true
sense of the term, is the harmonious de-
velopment of all the faculties and power
of the mind. The education which a
child requires, is that which will give it
the greatest command Of every faculty
both of body and mind which will call
out its powers of reflection and observa-
ton. This then being the use of educa-
ton, it requires the perfect means to be
used, in order that the work may be ac-
complished But what are the means
used! The teacher is often selected ir-
respective of qualifications, merely be-
cause his service can be obtained at a
cheap rate. The il!iterate teacher is en-
ployed at ten dollars, rather than the
practical and experienced one at thirty
dollars per month. What farmer would
employ hand to work upon his farm
merely because he proposed to work for
low wages? Who would employ a
beardless lawyer in case where thou
sand dollars were at stake, merely be-
cause ne would manage it for five dol
lars. Or would employ a quack physi-
clan to amputate limb, because he
could do it with carving knife and
handsaw for fifty cents? Thus the ten.
der mind suffers for want of skillfu train
ing. Our tailor must be a workman be-
fore we patronize him. Our blacksmith
must know how to use his TOOLS before
we would permit him to shoe valuable
horse. Are the interests of the immor-
tai mind of less value than horse hoof!
If not why then should the school teach
er be an exception to the general rule?
If we refuse to permit man to drive a
nail into horses foot until he has serv-
ed an apprenticeship, why not demand OF
the teacher that he shall spend time in
learning how to teach? II has been tru-
ly said that it requires more judgement,
more skill, more ingenuity, and more dis
cretion, to teach little child, than to
govern a state The business of teach
er is not to think for child but to teach
er teaches; the child learns. To teach
is to give instruction. But how can
teacher impart knowledge to others which
he does not himself possess? The stream
cannot rise higher than the fountain, and
the old adage says. AS the teacher, so
the school,.
But it is said good teachers cannot be
had, therefore we must take such as we
can get. This is not true.-Only create
d demand aud that demand will be sup
piled. But, in order to supply the de-
mand we must hold out an inducement
for teachers to prepare themselves for the
business. When this is done, the teach
er's profession will secure as great an
OF talent, as il is TO be found
in any other learned professions. Then
we may expect our Common School Sys-
tenn to accomplish the glorious results
by the noble founders.

The CUBAN EXPEDITION-Rep0rt
Enlargement. The New York Express
has the following extract of letter, from
a very respectable source, dated Havana,
May 6th, 1851:
Il do not know whether all the pratt
cal expedition has yet suffered the fate
of that portion of it which | have now to
give you an account of in a few words,
and with much caution.
"P--of the steamer, who came
on board our vessel, at sea, day before
Yesterday, with several other men from
his own vessel, told me that, on the pre-
ceding afternoon, at quarter past seven,
the schooner attacked two boats full of
men, in a cove OF the island

and t;iey socn were observed TO be ma

schooner opened upon them an active fire
of grape shot, which, although it was an

decks.

TREATMENT OF JENNY LINn AT PIrrs-
RURGH.-According TO all accounts the
Pittsburgh mob behaved very inconsider-
ately to the fair songstress. The Ameri-
can, Of that place, gives the following
account of the scene:
Some eight or ten thousand full and
half grown vagabonds surrounded the
building and kept up an unearthly con-
fusion Of sounds. She was unfortunate
in another way too. Or her way to the
hall last night, the horses became restive
and ungovernable, backed the carriage
against a dray and was near upsettlng il,
rendering il necessary. for her to get out,
where she was exposed to and surround,
ed by a large crowd, excited by the ac-
cident. This was enough of itself TO un-
string the nerves of bolder lady than
Jenny, and the conduct of the crowd at
the hall was little calculated to put her
EXCITED feelings to rest. There was, in
deed, no real danger The crowd was
not angry or i'll disposed, nor bent in any
way on mischief, and the mayor had the
whole police force of the city present.
and was in personal attendance himself,
but it was excited and noisy and some
gravel stones were heard OH the windows,
which caused an expectation and dread
of dOrnics and brick-bats. Order, how
ever was restored by the f.mness and
;udicious course of the mayor, but Jenny
said that the bills must be called in, that
she would not and could not sing.
The hall was in an unfinished state,
and hurriedy fixed up, with the windows
unprotected, and on the roofs in the rear
of the buildings large crowds had collect
ed, some of them with rows of seats, who
kept up loud and continued noise, caus-
ing her the greatest disturbance and alarm
while in her retiring room.

GEOLOGICAL WONDERS OF CALIFORNIA

COUNTRY PAPERs.-We wish all who
are in the habit of taking city papers in
preference to those published in their own
country, to read what Sartaln's Magazine
says about country papers:
In nothing has there been a more
marked change within the last ten years,
than in the elevation in the character of
the country press. Since the general es-
tablishment of the telegraph, they are
enable to anticipate the great city papers
in the early publication of the latest news
through the interior; and with the in
creased importance which this gives to
their issues, they have acquired cores
ponding degree of energy and efficiency
in the promotion Of all liberal and patri-
otic undertakings.

Editing newspapers has one effect, if
none other. 1t philosophises the mind to
such a degree, that no matter how great
a misfortune the editor may meet with,
his equanimity is not disturbed In the
least. The editor of the Alabama Argus

A PHENoMENoN.-The editor of the
Cortland Democrat, in formal valedic-
tory, takes leave of that print for anoth-
er fed of labor, under circumstances
which we shall not venture to state.
We copy his oacn account for the mat
ter:
"We will now give our readers an
idea of our reasons for leaving them, and
an account of our future occupation.-
You recollect perhaps that We gave a
notice few weeks since of investigating
the spiritual manifestations, or commonly
termed spirit rappings, and that we sta
ted our belief in regard to the 'phenome-
ma We have been in Auburn since
then; and, upon thorough and careful
investigation of the subject, we Lave
come to the further conclusion that the
manifestations are not only produced by
spirits cut Of the flesh. but that they are
permitted and delegated to communicate
with mortals BY Con, for the vast and
inconceivably exalted purpose OF gedeena-
ing the as0rld from the bondage and
corruption Of SIN. And, as one of the
feeble instruments of COD in this great
work, we engage our weak talents, our
time and cur all, henceforth aud forever,
till the object De accomplished.
"PAUL. The Apostolic Messenger direc.
ted us, bs means Of the .RAPpINGs,' to
leave our business in this place aud re-
move to Auburn. there to commence and
continue the publication of paper, to
be devoted wholly and exclusively to
this cause. Accordingly we have dis
posed Of oar interest in the Democrat,
and have pur chased, in the name of Pc
leg S. Cottrell & Co., printing Office
located in Auburn, where, in a few
weeks, will be issued the first number
of the paper alluded to. under the ;itle
(given also by the 'RApPINGso SPIRITUAL
AND Moral INsTRUcToR. The paper
will contain accounts of conversations
with spirits, the history, defence, and ad:
vocacy of the manifestations, and articles
composed and given entirely by spirits in
an other state of existence. It will lie
issued semi-monthly, for one dollar per
year"
That the writer is entirely serious i'll
all he says-strange though it may seem
is as Obvious as that he is laboring un-
der Authorization bordering on some
thing more fearful. He goes on 20 say
that he has been converted from infdeli-
ty to Christianity. and from a state of
doubt to one of full belief, as to the inn
mortality of the soul. "by means OF the

Orangeburg Eacumpment.-We have
just returned from short visit to the
Orangeburg Encampment. where we
found full attendance of commissioned
and non-commissioned oficers, both Of
cavalry and infantry, the former under
command of Brigadiar General VIM E.
Martin. The scene is indeed brilliant
one, the officers discharging their duties
with zeal and alacrity which reflects
upon them the highest credit. We ha We
never seen body of finer-looking young
men than were present at the afternoon
parade, and their evolutlons were per-
formed in a manner that evinced how
we'll they understood their duty. There is
great political animation and enthusiasm
in the camp, and their countersigns aud
ings which predominate. Calhoun. seces-
sion, and State action, are the constant
watchwords.
Our excellent Chief Ma agistrate is where
he always has been found, at his post,
cheering and encouraging those under
his command, in the performance OF their
arduous duties, and enlivening the hours
of relaxation by pleasant and agreeable
intercourse with his fellow-citizens. He
is attended by quite number of his staff,
who, after the fashion of their chief, are
winning golden opinions wherever they
go.
The dress parades are graced by the
beauty and loveliness of the delightful
village of Orangeburg and the vicinity,
than which no portion Of :he State can
present a brighter galaxy. To such Of
our friends as have a leisure day upon
their hands, we proder the advice to visit
the encampment, where they will be sure
TO find the hospitab!e citizens of Orange
burg ready to receive them, and they
must be hard to please, indeed, if their
time is not made to pass most pleasantly.
