For the Southern s
Dignity of Manhood.

Manhood, in its widest and most proper sense, is something more than the mexaman. It is, in its truest sense, man cultivated and exalted, with heart full of love and achar- ity,' firmly established upon correct prin- ciples. It is important. It has dignity, which, though natural and an original prin- ciple, yet, like every other, will be strength ened by cultivation; but, by dsuse and neg
 ect, will be weakened and, at length, be- come entirel extinct.
 The dignity ofmanhood, when rightly cul- tivated, is, as it were; our conscience, prompting us to right actions. It is the foundation of all true honor and noble ambi- ton. Itis an index, pointing to ths path of affluence and success. It is iousA8dpport, preventing us from fallinginto low and grow cling places. It shows us ourselves in our truest light and exhibits to us the power which we may possess. Itplaces us in po- sition, where we may wield the mighty scep- ter of that empire, over which we are pac- ed ,-ourselues.
 We are subject to passions which often burst forth and destroy not only our own peace and happiness, but that of others, thus making us the cause of great injury to them. Those who are good,-those who are intel lgent and worthy in other respects, are ot- ten made by this tyranical master, beings far from lovely, and their society far from being desirable. So strong and so power ful are our passions, that if unrestrained they would destroy our influence and take from us our means for usefulness, yea, they would rule us with rod of iron. How important, then, it is that they be corrected and gov erned! The cultivation of the dignity of manhood will enable us to do this It would enable US to see that they are an en- emy to our peace and happness--an ene- my to our success in life, thwarting all our endeavors for our own, and the good of others. It would show us that they are incompatible with true manliness. Thus we should be led to exert all our power 10 restrain them.
 It has been truly said, that if we would gain the respect of others, we must respect ourselves. If we treat ourselves with dis respect, can we expect others 10 regard us differently? Can we expect to gan their esteem, unless we make ourselves worthy of it? Can we do this without respecting ourselves? Let us, then, cultivate the dig nifty of manhood; for it will teach Us to do this. It will enable US, on all occasions and under all circumstances, 10 conduct with becoming propriety. It will keep us from levity and rudeness. enable us 10 be cheer full yet sober, mirthful yet dignifed. It will give us an influence over our fellows and secure for us honor and esteem. In fine, it will make man truly great aad noble. January 2I, 1852. M.

WILD PIGEoNs.-The Clinton Floridian says that the wild pigeons have a roost in the pine woods twelve miles east of Greens burg. Thousands are killed nightly by those living in the neighborhood. The numbers are so great that the largest limbs are torn off, and in wet weather even the tall pines are overturned.

THE SNow.-The sleighing. which fol some time past has been so good in ou1 streets, is getting no better very fast. The drays, and cabs and other wheeled nuis ances, cut up the snow in such fashion as in many places to present almost bare sur. face of the pavement to the sleigh runners The negroes, too, are so numerous, and the boys so industrious in the manufacture and application of snow balls, that the depth o the snow in some places is reduced to bare. ly six inches.
 While on this subject, we observe, thar the science of sleigh-riding has not been properly cultivated in this city, heretofore but we hope 10 see more attention paid to that branch of education in future, as wei as. reform in the art of sleigh building.

T We published, last week, the pro- ceedings of the South western Railroad Con. yention held at New Orleans on the 9th inst. It will be seen from the account pub- lished, that there were ten States represent ed. The best spirit prevailed among the delegates, and the action of the Convention is. we think, destined to have very impor- tant effect upon Internal Improvements in the valley of the Mississippi. All Of the va rious projects presented to the Convention were thoroughly analysed in the Commit fee on Routes, and those recommended are entitled.to the highest degree of confidence and credit from ths people. Long and ar- duous were the duties of this Committee and ably were they accomplished. A vast amount of statistical and practical informa- tion was laid before that Committee, and the test or touchstone of practicability was ap- piled to each proposed route submitted to them.
 
 Arkansas, Trunk line commencing at Fort Smith or Van Buren on the Western iron tier, traversing the State East to Little Rock, thence to White River, and then to diverge to Helena and Memphis. A branch from the main trunk 10 Fulton on Red Riv- CT, and another running North West through Independence and Jackson counties to the Missouri line, from point east of White river. Upon examination it will be found that these lines present the most ad- vantageous for the basis of that system which shall develope the resources of our State and make her the Empire State of the South. The line proposed for the main trunk looks to White River crossing at or near the mouth of Cache-and will give to Helena every advantage in the construc- tion of that portion of the road peculiarly allotted to her.
 We have every reason to believe that the recommendations of the convention will have the effect to reconcile all differ ences of opinion that have heretofore exist ed as to the desirable route of the Grand Trunk. Col. Fowler was in the Conven- ton, and, we learn, expessed himself satis- fled with the proposed routes, as were all of the other delegates from Arkansas. And when once the united energies of this State are directed into the same channel, and brought to bear upon the same object, the word fail is obliterated from our language.
 From New Orleans, at present, we can expect no pecuniary aid, but her counte- nance and her sympathies are with us. And one of the objects of the late conven- ton was to present united front for the purpose of memorialisng Congress grants of land to the various roads proposed. As our road has received favorable consdera- ton from and the endorsement of, one of the most respectable bodies of men that ever assembled together in any country, we may confidently look to the general Government for grant of land that will largely aid in its construction.

 "The Presidents reply to Kossuth's ad dress was made on spur of the moment it having been understood that the inter view was to be an informal one, and thai no address was to be delivered.
 MT. Clay has expressed his admiration O the Presidents answer. He says it IS Jus the position he ought to assume. :,
 A deputation of Southern members call, ed upon Kossuth, and declared to hlm tha, he could not expect to be countenanceo by the South as long as Seward and his clique were indentfied with him. Aossuth replied that MT. Seward had treated him in the most friendly manner, and asked how Il was possible under such circumstances, to cut him. The dsinclination to permit Kos suth to address the House increase hourly There is now no probability that the resol- ution can carry.
