MEMORIAL.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives qSihs
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 2Sh OF September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be-
that thew do not expect desire to reside on the
land thus granted that if patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assume
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
gent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.

From the St Louis Evening News Gen. Scott on the Compromise.

Unfortunately for the Democratic party its two most prominent candidates for the Presidency, Gen. Cass and Judge Dougl lass though both at the time members of the United States Senate, failed to vote for the fugitive slave bill, on the final recorded vote by yeas and nays. They did not vote against lt; but hey did not vote for iN It was very important measure for the South; # was the South's share in the Compromise The eyes of the whole country were on the Senate every day while the measure was pending No Senator could have been ig- norant when the important test vote was to take place. Nevertheless Cass and Doug lass, both political aspirants, looking to the Presidency, happened to be out-they had business away, of course-When the test vote was taken
 Well, sundry Democratic editors feeling the awkwardneSs of this predicament, and wishing 10 put the Wings in as bad box, have tried nduS;riouSly to spread the im- preSSion that Gen. Scott, a prominent Whig asPrant, is opposed to the Compromise measures. And we regret to observe that some respectable Whig papers have been V, and have done Gen. Scott great injustice by countenancing even suspicion of his unsoundness on those measures.
 Hon. E. Stanley, of North Carolina, has recently written a letter, in which he de- fends Gen. Scott against the unjust imputa- | tions that have been made. Mir. Stanley says:
 is due to myself 10 say that lave never said, and will not now say, that :" can't and won't go for Scott" On the con- trarv. have always said l knew he was as earnest. ardent and jealous friend of the Compromise measures as there was in the United States. Iknew, 9f my o1cn hno0I- edge, thdt he ras so before Men passage through Congress and aftprwards. l heard him reprove Northern men who were op- posed to them, before they passed Congress, in such strong terms that thought would offend them"
 In addition 10 this, we find in the report of the proceedings of Congress on the Sth inst, that Mir. Averett, of the House, Vir- ginia Democrat, made a speech charging the Wings with favorng abolitonism, and he asked "whethF Gen. Scott was in favor of changing the fugitive slave law.
 Mir. White, of Kentucky, replied that he waS authorised 10 say. tor Gen. Scott, that he ,cas opposed 10 any alteration Qf the meas ures contained in the compromise"
 Could anything be more explicit and sat isactory! Gen. Scott has always and no- torionsly spoken thus; and being a true Whig, noble soldier, and a man of unsul- lied honor, his position should no longer be doubted. A genteman's word is as good as his bond, is it not?

Description of Our Savior.

The Boston Journal says that the follow ing epistle was taken by Napoleon from the public records of Rome, when he deprived that city of so many valuable manuscripts It was written at the time and on the spot where Jesus Christ commenced his ministry by Publius Lentullus, the Governor of Ju. dea, to the Senate of Rome--C6sar, Empe- TOT. It was the custom in those days toi the Governor to write home any event o importance which transpired while he held office:
 "CoNsCRIPT FATHERs-There appeared in these our days man named Jesus Christ who is yet living among us, and of the Gen tiles is accepted as Prophet of great truth but his own Disciples call him the SoN or Cop. He hath raised the dead, cured al manner of diseases. He is man of stat ure somewhat tall and comedy. with a rud dv countenance, such as the beholder may both love and fear. His hair is the color o the filbert when fully ripe, plain to his ears whence downward it is more orient of color curling and waving about his shoulders; ir the middle of his head there is seam O partition of long hair, after the manner O the NaZarites. His forehead IS plain anC delicate his face without spot or wrinkle beautified with comedy red; his nose ano mouth are thick, not of any great height but iorked. In reproving, he IS terrible; 1T admonishing, courteous; in speaking, very modest and wise; in proportion of body well shaped. None have seen him laugh but many have seen him weep. A man for his surpassing beauty, excelling the chI dren of men,"

VALUE OF WoMEN.-To know the real worth of women, just imagine the world without them once. Where could you spend your extra hours? Where could you seek for amusement and pleasure? Where could you find contentment and happinessi Who would hold your head when you had the tooth-ache? Who would greet you with smiles and careSses when you were sad and down-cast! What would you do for buttons to your shirts, or rnsftnerS to your cotilIion! An! with girls, the fireSide chat would be cheerIess and ciable-cold weather would have an extra chill added 10 it while suicides and broken hearts would multiply by the hundred. To take women from the world would be to take the rose from the garden-the summer from the year-the nightingale from the songSters-in fact, all the bright anticipationS and realities ot lite. -~-~~~--~-~O~~~~
 The character of man so much varies, from age 10 age, both in his individual and collective capacity; there comes such a change of circumstances, so many new ob- iects of desire and aversion, and so many new and powerful motives spring up in his mind, that the conduct of men, in one age,  or under one state of circumstances, is no sure and precise indication of what will be their conduct when times and circumstances alter; so that the example of the past, be- fore it can become useful instructor to the present, must be reduced to elementary principles in human nature, freed from the influence of conditions which were tempo rary and have changed, and applied to the same principles under new relations, with different degree of knowledge, and the impulses arising from the altered state of things. A savage has the passions of ambi-
 ton, revenge, love and glory; and ambition
 and love, revenge and the hope of renown' are also elements in the character of civill-
 zed life; but the development of these pas sions, in state of barbarism, hardly in- structs us as to the manner in which they
 will exhibit themselves in cultivated pe-
 riod of society," Webster.
