Address OF the Southern whiRs.

We publish this morning the address of a
portion of the Southern Wines to their constit-
uents and the country. From all comment on
the course of the minority or the majority in
the recent Congressional caucus, we have in
tentionally abstained. We know that both
were actuated only by the most elevated senti
menls Of public duty and patriotic attachment.
We believe that both will at some time be en-
abled so far to harmonic conflicting opinions
as to act together in common cause. Oar
own position in regard to the measures of Ad-
justment was taken too early, and has been
too distinctly and consistently maintained
through times of greater doubt and darkness
than the present-to permit US to waver or
hesitate moment as to the propriety and ne
cessty of insisting upon the recognition Of the
policy of the Compromise. This was the
ground taken by President FILLMORE in both
his messages-affirmed by the Wing Congress
sonal caucus at the commencement of the
present session-and it is claimed 10 be the
ground Of every WING candidate for the Presi-
dency who is at all prominent before the
public.

The following thrilling account of an en-
gagement between q boa constructor and croc-
odIIe in Java, is given by an eye witness:
twas one morning that stood beside small
lake fed by one of the rils from the mountains.
The waters were clear as crystal, and every
thing could be seen 10 the very bottom Stretch
ing its limbs close over this pond, was gigantic
teak tree, and in its thick, shining ever green
leaves, lay huge boa, in an easy coil, taking his
morning nap. Above him was powerful ape, of
the baboon species, q leering race of scamps,
always bent on mischief. Now the ape, from his
position, saw crocodile in the water, rising 10
the top, exactly beneath the coils of the serpent.
Quick as thought he jumped plump on the snake
which fell with splash into the jaws of the
crocodile. The ape saved himself by cngng
to limb of a tree, but battle royal Immediately
commenced in the water. The serpent, grasped
in the middle by the crocodile, IAde the water
boil by his furious contortions. n Winding his
fold round and round the body ofkis antagonist,

disposed to yleld.-They rolled Yer and over,
neither being ublo to obtain decided ad-
vantage.
All this time the cause of mischief was in a
state of the hgest ecstacy. He eaPed up and
down the branches of the tree. came several
times close to the scene of action, shook the
limbs of the tree, uttered yell, and again frsk-
ed about At the end of ten minutes a silence
began to come over the scene. The folds of the
serpent began to be realaxed, and though they
were trembling along the back, The head hung
lifeless in the water. The crocodile also was still
and though only the spines of his back were
visible, it was evident that he too was dead.
The monkey now perched himseIi'on the lower
limbs of the tree, close to the deid bodies, and
amused himself for ten minutes in making all
sorts of faces at them. This seemed to add in
suit to injury. One ofmy companions was STAN

Illustrations for Children.

l once saw a teacher, trying to teach the
children that their soul would live after they
were all dead. They listened but evidently did
not understand it. He was too abstract. Snatch
ing his watch from his pocket, he said:
"James, what is this hold in my hand ?"
"a watch, sir"

"Yes sir, we hear it."
He then took off the case and held the cas-
in one hand and the watch in the other.
Now, children. which is the watch? You
see there are two which look like watches"
" The little one in your right hand"
"Very we'll again. Now will lay the cas'

"Well, the watch can tick, and go, and k ee

Indian Eloquence.

The Toronto Watchman of the Both ult

Rice Lake to the whites, begging them to stay
the plague of intemperance which has been
communicated by them to the children OF the

place to build your wigwam we gave you a

American Climate and Longevity

On a volume of Valentines Manual of the
Corporation OF the city of New York for 1859,
the Literary World has the following paragraph:
Mr.. Frederick Depeyster furnishes an ac-
