FOrsignl interference.

The following is an extract from the Wash
ington correspondents Of the CincinnRti
NonpaIeil:
The editors Of the Intelligencer and Of the
Republic, have proclaimed their alarm
their fears, that the eloquence Of Kossuth
may stir up the American people to declare
for the liberty of Europe. Non-interference,
as they declare, has been and still is the true
policy of the American government. Buff
our books Of history speak the truth, if the
governments and people Of Europe had al
ways acted upon the principle and policy Of
non interference, we Americans had now
been without government Of our own
Though hnon-interference might have been our
policy. there certainly was time when it
did not ccmport with the interests Of our
country.
In the struggle Of our forefathers for the
independence of the government which we
now enjoy, they were furnished from Europe
with money, ships--and men in thousands
and shoulder TO shoulder with our illustrious
patriots Of the Revolution, were the eminent
general officers whose names are contained
in the following list.

south America.

The London Daily Ne,cs commenting on the
Importance of the decree of Gen. Urquiza, declar-
ing the Rivers Uruguay and Parana open to the
vessels of all nations, thus remarks:
"Itwas the policy of Rosas-with view to the
aggrandizement of himself and Buenos Ayres-to
keep these upper rivers closed. Urquiza however,
with wiser instincts has reversed the policy, and
thrown them open to all the world; and gradually
we may anticipate having steam navigation pene-
trate to Paraguay-perhaps even ascending, by
the Vormejo or the Pilcomayo, into Bolivia; for
it is by steam navigation only that full advantage
can be taken of the decree and the treaty which
Urquiza has formed with Paraguay. No doubt
there are, at times serious difficulties and obstruc-
tions in the navigation of the Parana up to Cor
rientes, where it receives the river Paraguay but
none so serious as may not be seriously encoun-
tered and overcome. The British steamer Alecto,
of 200 horse power and 800 tons burthen, under
favorable circumstances, made the voyage from
Monte Video to Corrientes and back, full 1000
miles, in 80 days. But once floating on the Par
aguay, there is uninterrupted inland navigation
through nearly nineteen degrees of latitude over a
mud bottom, without rock or stone to impede
the passage.

Iceland.

A correspondent of the Watertown Jefferso-
nian, now in Iceland, writes from Reykjavik, the
capital of the island, that it is neat town of
twelve hundred inhabitants, with cathedral and
college There is also a hotel and clubhouse.
Several of the merchants live in two story houses
The main street runs parallel to the water, the
sloping, gravelly beach, and on the side, OF this
street. facing the sea, are the stores, some fifteen
n number. Besides this, there are three other
streets running parallel to it further back. The
houses, with gable ends to the streets, are all
and covered with coating of tar in place of
paint. This preserves the wood and makes the
sides and roof watertight, and though they are all
black as night, they do not contrast badly with
their white window-sashes and curtains, and the
green fields about. In closed dwellings, muslin
curtains, fower-pots containing roses, fuchsias,
geraniums pansits, and other exotcs ali in bloom,
showed the triumphs over climate that little
care will make The hotel is square two story
building. sa-
How green the fields look, and how pretty the
gardens are here in Iceland walked up on
hill, little out out oftown, and I saw the far
mers moving, and heard the familiar clank of the
stone on the steel, while the mower sharpened
his sythe. The land is SO rough-all covered
with little mounds or hillocks-that they can on
ly use sythes about two feet long. The sythe-
snath is straight, and similar to those have seen
used in Scotland The right hand, or lower
side, is like ours, fastened to the snath, but the
left hand one is like the letter T, the hand taking
hold of the top-piece. They shave the grass down
as close as Hotspur found the dandy's chin, "new
reaped,'' like ssstubble land.' The hay is fine
and soft, but the grass is not very high. In the
gardens see growing potatoes, turnips, radishes
lettuce, and some other vegetables. Grain does
not grow in Iceland, neither does wood The
country in quite destitute of timber. saw little
shrub, about five feet high in the Governors gar
den; that s perhaps, the largest tree in Iceland,
This, though, is protected by high wall on the
north of it. In former times there must have
been some forests, for I told large logs are
found in the bogs, and too far inland to allow the
idea of their being drift timber.

ONE OF THE SPECULATIoNs.-A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Noapareil, who has been per-
ambulating about Sandusky, relates the follow
ing operation in early times in that section, which
beats modern real estate operations some. He
thus writes of an extensive tract of land called
the "Pismire Purchase
/ 1t was originally owned by one Jessup, an east
ern speculator in these Fire lands, embracing
Erie and Huron counties There came to this
section one of these geniuses who constituted the
pioneers character of the West. They were a
shrewd class, and many stories are told of the
games they played with green ones from the East.
One of these shrewd men, desiring to purchase the
tract in question, and not wishing to pay the
price demanded, took this method of accomplish
ing his object During the wet season of the
year, when no one could pass over the land, be-
cause it was wet and low, he took Mr.. Jessup out
to examine it, and see how exorbitant were his
demands .-Jessup, not being skillful in passing
along ON the bogs, frequently slipped in up to his
knees. Our Western hero seeing his perplexity,
proposed to carry him a short distance. 'No,"
Jessup eyes," was the reply; and he took the
Eastern gentleman upon his back and moved on
until he came to large ant-hill, on which he
landed the old gentleman. to rest while. But
the speculator had not remained long, before the
ants were creeping over his whole body, by hun
dreds, and he begged to return, for something
was eating him up. Our hero was quite willing
to carry him back in this dilemma, for by this
time his opinion of the value of the land was con-
sderably deprecated; and sale was Immediately
affected on terms entirely satisfactory to our knight
of ithe ant-hill. Hence the Pismare Purchase.
Who canebeat that.
" Passing along one of our plank sidewalks
yesterday, we discovered a tuft of grass, green as
the ocean, peering through what is known in COM
mon parlance in knot hole. It was like beau
tiful picture in dry book-and fed US with
thoughts which we love to cherish.
Mans heart is lgneous sort of affair-it takes
a smart thrust to pierce it sensibly-and yet it
contains some perforations through which the
herbage of affection and feeling will start and
flourish. There is something there to show that
the world has not made general usurption of
sympathy and humanity--there is some green
thing growing thrifty among the internal rubbish,
to prove that not all is lost. There Is tuft of
grass, struggling through the .apertures of every
soul. ..sz.z.s..ssszzv
1t is good to take the charitable side when we
think and speak of our fellows. Heaven help
that man who cannot descry something noble in
the most degraded brother in the human family.
