= Floating Circus and Theatre.
| From the Picayune. !


The CRYSTAL Palace, its magnitude, pecu in
construc' ion and the wonders it contained have
excited the wonder Of the world; but we think
that the e4uestro aquatic fleet just CONSTRUCTED
partly in New York and partly in Cinrinnati, foi
circus and theatrical exhibitions under Messrs
| Spaidiug Il Rogers, would create equal if not
greater a5tonisAmcEt in the Old and New
Word, as it certainly will astoni-h the natives
Of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys.
This singular fleet consists. according to the
description and engraving given by the Cincin-
matt Enquirer OF the 22d ult., OF three vessels:
the floating palace, Of the size and strength Of
Il 49, :; small steamer only forty feet long:
and powerful steam tug to tow the floating
colossus up and down The Ohio and Mississippi
to its various destinations for exhibition.
The little steamer, built in New York, and
now on its way to Cincinnati, through the Erie
and Beaver Canals and Lake Erie, is to serve
as an araM coure1r of the palace The latter
contains, says the Enquirer, the most elegant,
sfupendous and capacious amphitheatre ever
constructed in this country. The dress circle
holds over eleven hundred arm chairs, accessi-
BILE by broad aisles all numbered and command
ing an uninterrupted view Of the whole house.
A grand chandelier, an immense organ, gas
ouiNtls; w ltoii Cd PttS: SCOfcS Oi luTfOTS, elc-
giant curtains and window hangngs, richly
blended painting and gliding ornament and fur.
nish this great anphitheatre The gallery, each
seat in which is numbered, can also contain a
multitude Of spectators. A broad vestibule,
with ticket and business offices attached, lead
to the theatre. Saloons are added for refresh
ments Or retirement, ornamented and furnished
with mnch taste and richness.
This ark-like vessel has without, on deck, a
chime of twenty bells varying in weight from
30 to 700 pounds, and capable of Producing
all kinds Of music, from the gayest to the most
grave. A chjmer or performer has been pro-
cured from England. Drummond and Bengal
lights, with powerful gas jets before great To-
comotive refiectors, render the neighborhood of
the palace as light rs day. The monster ediice
is fully ventilated the entire audience can be
out Of it in fifty seconds: force pumps and hand
engines are SO arranged as to deuge the whole
exterior and interior at a moments notice: air
and water tight partitions traverse the hull lat
orally and from bow to stern, forming six Sec
tIons, lmpervious to water and rendering sin
king from snags or collision impossible
About two hundred persons are employed in
the management Of the fleet, and in the circus
and pantomime performances. This extraordi-
nary squadron begins its cruise soon at Pitts
burg, and we suppose will be here by next win
ter.
What will Americans be at next, we wonder!
The only thing we see remaining is to construct
a railroad and run an electric telegraph to the
moon.

PLAQUEHzHNE:
Saturday, May Is, 1852.

Mr. Fillmore's Strength in the Wing Ma
tional Contamination" the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, in his letter
OF the 29th ultimo, says:
The friends of Mr.. Fillmore and of the Com
promise, as tinality, are in excellent spirits,
never having been so confident as they are now
OF the nomination of Mr. Fillmore. They
will go into the Convention with 1856 votes
40 of them from the non-slaveholding States,
and including the friends Of Mr.. Webster.-
This majority of l56 delegates will proceed at
once to establish the compromise and their
tinality as their platform, and declare that no
candidate that comes not up fairly and squarey
to these principles, shall be nominated. They
will have nothing further to do than to agree
upon known and avowed compromise men as
their candidates, and nominate them. The Sc
ward faction can then secede, taking upon them
selves the responsibility of dividing the party
and breaking it up.

GJEvery one of good sense must concede
the force and truth of the following remarks
from the New York Mirror: -.....
Soft, Soaping the Dead.-It may be an amia-
bic weakness to speak no i'll of the dead. The
grave is silent, and bespeaks the silence of the
living. Butwe despise the system of putting
the departed, of making angels Of sinners the
moment they are touched by the spear of death
Justice is better than flattery, even to the dead
The fulsome aduations often embodied in
sentimental epitaph, are enough to make the
very tombstones blush for the veracity of the
friend who indites it; and forces into glaring
contrast the character of the sleeper who, hav-
ing gone beyond this world of shams, must
feel longing to contradict it.
AS we should speak no worse of man
while living than We would feel disposed to
speak of him when he is gone, so there is no
reason for bestowing eulogums upon the dead
beyond the absolute claims of truth and JUS
tiee. There is nothing more repugnant to the
feelings of an honest man, than words of COM
mendation which he knows he does not de-
serve. 1t is but reasonable to believe the same
feeling pertains to the souls of the departed,
only Intensified by the clearness of an atmos-
phere that enables them to see all things as
they are.

Religious Statistics Of Crosse Iete--Fro m
the records of the Presbyterian church in
Crosse Tete, it appears that Mr.. Doremus
commenced his labors here in Nov. 1916. In
IS47, he was ordained as an evangelist. In
l848, an effort was made to raise funds to erect
a house of worship, and on the 9th of January
1849, well finished edifce Qhe first exclusive
ly Presbyterian church west of the Mississippi
river,) was dedicated to the worship of God.
This year was also fruitful in some remarkable
conversions, both in the immediate neighbour
hood of the church, and also in another neigh
borhood (Marengouin) several miles distant,
where Mr.. D. had frequently preached and
where also maion house of worship has since
been erected, in which Mr.. D. ofiicates at sta
ted intervals. On the 14th of October, l849,
the church at Crosse Tete was organized with
one ruling elder and IS members, 10 of whom
were received on profession, and 6 on certif-
cate from other churches. In 1850 acomforta-
Bile parsonage house was built at the expense
of the people. March 18th, 1852, the dear lit
tie chapel was dedicated, as related above.
Gods dew and sunshine upon it ! and upon all
these efforts! Last Sabbath % were received
into the church, % Of whom were coIored. The
whole number admitted by Mr.. D. during his
ministry is 54-4S on profession-6 on certif-
cate. From this number 8 are to be deducted,
deceased or removed. Of the as remaining,
35 are negroes. Other plantations in the vi
cinity are accessible to the gospel.--Neno York

Our Country Exchanges.
From the Musical World.

We now have over five hundred country
| exchanges on our "exchange list" and they
represent every section OF the Union, aud all
| classes parties, sects and schools. About the
greatest treat we enjoy is the perusal, Or rather
| the skinlming over, of these papers; we some
! times receive one hunded in a day, and cannot
of course read them, but we always look them
over, and most satisfactory time we have OF
it. They are more entertaining, in every res
pect, than the much vaunted magazines of the
day; possessing, as they do, more pith, more
sound sense, more fun and wit, more VIgor,
more everything that is desirable. We some
times fad, in dirty-looking eli ght by ten news
paper, published somewhere on the periphery
Of civilization, articles more interesting and
written in better style, than often appear IN the
"mammoth Wecklies," or "leviathan monthlles
that emanate from the literary Aot houses OF
our large cities; and many Of the country pa
pers that We receive are not only well filled,
but elegantly got up, printed on excellent pa
per and clear type, and in all respects worthy
Of commendaton.
Your country Editor is generally an earnest
man. He is hard worker and a vigorous
thinker. He has often to contend with difficult
ties and overcome obstacles the mere thought
of which would crush the soul of the city top
ling He has no dozen or twenty assistants to
make selections, read and prune correspon-
dence, review books, notice magazines, look
after and correct telegraphic dispatches, attend
public meetings, exhibitions, concerts and lee
lures and give reports thereof; he has no army
of compositors to "set up a column in eight
minutes" no proof reader to correct typogra-
phical errors, and no foreman to see that the
paper is made up just right, leaving him simply
to write the "leader" and a few self-suggesting
paragraphs; nor has he "lightning press" to
print off his paper at the rate of ten thousand
an hour while he is sleeping quietly at home
or enjoying a supper along with his friends
None Of these aids has the country Editor
On the contrary, in many cases he has not only
to write his editorials, make his selections,
whip his communications into shape, clothe the
advertisements sent in uniforms of orthrogra-
ply and grammar, set up his matter, impose
the forms and print the paper, but at the same
time, he may have to do the marketing for his
family, dig the potatoes for his dinner and hold
the baby while they are cooked!
True-there is no romancing here

Gen. Cass.-Somebody in Pennsylvania
says the Bee, has been printing and circulating
a most bitter philippe against Gen. Cass. 1t is
headed ga cordial appeal to the Democracy of
the Union;'' and goes on to show that Gen.
Cass cannot be elected President. 1t is signed
"a Middle Aged Fogy," and is supposed to
have emanated from Mr.. Buchanan's friends
AS some of the charges against Gen. Cass have
been heretofore in Wing papers, and denied, it
is as well to have the evidence of his own
political friends, one of whom thus sums up
his SINS
II will mention few facts which, in nv
opinion, did and will operate strongly against
Gen. Cass. His vaclating course on the Viii.
mot Proyiso, in which he was for and against
it two or three times. The difficulty in the inter-
probation of the Nicholson Letter. The "noise
and confusion relative to rivers and harbors."
Dodging the vote on the fugitive slave law, &c.
All of which will be urged against him, if he
should be the nominee, and cannot be explained
to the satisfaction of the honest and indepen.
dent voters, whose wishes must be consulted,
to secure victory at the next Presidential cleo
tion."
The circular reviews at length the career of
the General, and is very bitter and severe in
some of its denunciations One of the obiec-
tons which the writer brings against him is,
that he wrote letter to Mr.. Clay, declaring
that he had no ground to believe the coalition
SANDER on him and Mr.. Adams. In this, his
candor and magnanimity contrast most favora-
bly, with the questionable course of Mr.. Bu-
chanan on the same subject.

Potted Meats.-It sometimes happens to the
ladies from some unforeseen circumstance, that
large quantities of cooked meats, prepared Tor
party that did not come off, perhaps remain
on hand, which, for want Of knowing how to
preserve, are measurably lost. Such should be
potted. Cut the meat from the bone and chop
fine, and season high with salt, pepper, cloves,
cinnamon, and moisten with vinegar, wine,
brandy, cider, or Worcestershire sauce, or melt
ed butter, according to the kind Of meat, or 10
suit your own taste, and then pound it tight in
to stone jar nearly full, and cover over the
top with about q quarter of an inch of melted
butter. It will keep months, and always afford
ready and excellent dish for the tea table

UThe Vicksburg Wing learns that the
Levee Commissioners of Coahoma county
have put under contract about forty miles of
the levee in that county, under the late levee
law of Mississippi. The Wing remarks, "If
the levee law is faithfully carried out, almost
the whole of the valley between this place and
Memphis, east of the Mississippi, will be free
from inundations within few years, and will
become the most valuable and productive cot
ton region on the continent"

The Newspaper

The Rev. H. w. Beecher thus speaks of the
Newspaper, the peoples Encyclopedia:
'ln no other way can 50 much, so varied, so
useful information be impaired, and under cir
cumstances so favorable for educating the
child's mind, as through jndicious, well con-
Quoted newspaper.
"To live in a village, was once 10 be shut up
and contracted. But now man might be an
hermit and yet cosmopolite. He may live in
forest, walk miles to post office, having a
mail but once week, and yet he shall be as
familiar with the living world as the business
actor in it, For the newspaper is spyglass by
which he brings near the most distant things-a
microscope by which he examines the most
minute--an ear-trumpet by which he collects
and brings within his hearing all that is said
and done all over the earth-a museum full of
curiosities-a picture gallery full Of pictures
from real life, drawn not upon canvas, but with
printers ink, on paper ...
"The effect, in liberazing and enlarging the
mind of the young, of this weekly commerce
with the world, will be apparent TO any one who
will ponder on it, Once liberal education
could only be completed by foreign travel. The
sons only Of the wealthy could indulge in
this costly benefit. But now poor mans son
can learn as much at home as in 100 years
gentleman could learn by journeying the world
over! For, while there are some advantages in
going into the world, it is the poor mans privi-
Iege to have the world come to see him! The
newspaper is great collector, great traveller,
a grear lecturer. 1t is the common people 5
