Death of Hon. John ". CrockeH.-The an
nouncement of the death of this distinguished
gentlemen will be heard with sadness and great
regret by every citizen. His is a name long
since cndeared to the people of the southwest
by the uncorrrptible honesty and bold and man
ly daring of Father, whose history is por
ton of the history of our State, and who fell AT
the Alamo fighting to the latest breath for the
independence of his adopted country. John
W. Crockett was the worthy son of the late Da-
vid Crockett, with an accomplished education,
quick perception, and vigorous mind, he was
enabled in early manhood to take high posi-
ton in the profession he had adopted, and the
people of West Tennessee will long remember
him as an able and successful lawyer. Like his
Father; Mr. Crockett possessed those qualities
requisite to make him a favorite with the people,
and at a comparatively early age, was called up
on to serve them in the Congress of the United
States. There he distinguished himself by Ge-
votion to the interest of his constituents, and a
patriotism and honesty Of purpose, which gave
him an enviable position among his fellow mem
bers.
After serving two sessions (webelieve) in Con-
gress, he declined an another election and re-
moved to New Orleans to become editor of a
daily paper. In this capacity, he also gained
great reputation, and was universally respected
for his talent, urbanity and courtesy. After
several years absence, Mr.. Crockett returned to
his native State, and again commenced the Wig
orous prosecution of his profession in the city Of
Memphis. In a very short time, he secured an
excellent practice, and by his kindness Of heart,
social disposition and noble qualities had at
tracted around him a host of warm and admi-
ring friends We knew him well, and loved him
for his many virtues. Peace to his ashes Mr..
Crockett died at Memphis, ofpneumonia, on the
night of the oath ult.-Nashc5Jle Banner.

Honest LaJor.-Labor, honest labor, is mighty
and beautiful Activity is the ruling element
of life, and its highest relish. Luxuries and con-
quests are the results of labor; we can imagine
nothing without it. The noblest man of earth
is he who puts his hands cheerfully and proudly
to honest labor. Labor is a business and ordi-
nance of God. Suspend labor, and where is the
glory and pomp of earth, the fruits, fields, and
palaces, and the fashionings of fmatter for which
men strive and war? Let the labor-seorner look
around him, look to himself, and learn what are
the trophies. From the crown of his head to
the sole of his foot unless he is Carib, naked as
the beast, he is the debtor and slave OF toll.
The labor which he scorns has tricked him into
the stature and appearance Of a man.. where
he gets his garmenting and equipage let labor
answer?-Labor- makes music in the
mine, the furrow and the forge. 0, scorn labor,
do you-man who never yet earned morsel of
bread?-Labor pitties you, proud tool-laughs
you to scorn. You shall pass to dust, forgotten,
but labor will live on forever glorious in its con-
quests and monuments.-Er.

Beautiful Ertract.-You cannot go into the
meadow and pluck up a single daisy by the
roots, without breaking up society of nice re-
ations, and detecting principle more extern
sive and refined than mere gravitation- The
handful of earth that follows the tiny roots of
that little flower is replete with social elements.
A little social circle had been formed around
that terminating daisy. The sunbeam and
the dew-drop met there, and the soft summer
breeze came whispering through the tall grass
to join the silent concert. And the earth took
them to her bosom, and introduced them to the
daisy gem; and they all went to work to show
that flower to the sun. Each mingled in the
honey of its influence, and they nursed 'the wee
canny thing with an aliment that made It grow.
And when it lifted its eyes towards the sky, they
wove soft carpet of grass forits feet. And the
sun saw it through the grass leaves, and smiled,
as he passed on; and then, by starlight and
moonlight, they worked on. And the daisy lift
cd up its head, and enc morning while the sun
was looking, it put on its silver trimmed diadem,
and showed its yellow petals to the stars. And
it nodded to the little birds that were swimming
in the sky And all them that had silver-ined
wings, and birds in black, gray and quaker
brown came; and the querulous blue bird, and
the courtseying yellow bird came; and each sung
a native air at the coronation of that daisy.-Er.

A St'aRge 0fer.-We are informed by par
ties that profess to be well instructed in the
whole matter, that the Atlantic and Pacific
Steamship Company has offered to our Govern
ment to take immediate means to protect them
selves or our flag from the insults of the Span
ish authorities of Cuba, at its own expense,
thereby relieving the Government from further
trouble or expense in the matter. The PROPOSE
ton, if true, is certainly very strange one, and
its very novelty Will fighten our present ad-
ministration out of its senses. 1t will have to
ascertain the sentiments of England on the
subject, before it will dare to move.-Neac- TorE:
Day Book;
An article in the New York Herald shows
what this eompanys means &nd appliances are:
The Law line contains nine or ten large
steamers. They could be transformed into pow
erful wac steamers in couple of weeks, each
capable Of carrying to Cuba, in five days from
any part Of the United States, 1000 to 5000 good
troops-amounting in round numbers, to 40 900
or $4,000 men-all eager for action. George
Law himself has also on hand about 10000 or
$1,000 muskets, and ammunition for a campaign
Of month in Cuba, could be got in ten days.
If the Government of the United States were
only to stand by and see fair play. Law could
expel the Spanish power from Cuba without
any aid from the public purse but merely by
his own resources, in less than three months
He has the war steamers all ready-the arms
and ammunition all ready at any moment to join
the crusade, and close forever the Spanish al,-

A Wing friend says-"Let's give Mr.. Pierce
a fair trial" So say we. As general rule the
Wings never do condemn political opponent in
advance In this case, they only say that "Jndg-
ing from the past, and looking to the probable
emergencies of the future, Winfield Scott would
have made the better President of the two" A
majority of the American people, however, it
seems, have thought and decided differently, and,
as true democrats, we submit without murmur

Message Of ue Gorenor Of South Carolina.
CHARLESTON, Nov 23.-The message of the
Governor was delivered to both Houses of the
Legislatureto-day. The following is an abstract
of It's more important features:
1t represents the State Bank to be a in highly
prosperous condition, the profits during the year
amounting to nine per cent. He recommends
its rechartcr, with additional capital.
The Governor expresses opposition to public
executions and whipping, and recommends an
amendment of the act of lS49, to prevent col
ored persons from entering the State, so as to
meet cases similar to that of the British ship
Clyde. 4 colored seaman of that vessel, he
states, has sued the sheriff for false imprison-
ment, but selErespect demands that we should
not abate one jot or title of the law. He re-
commends thatthe Legislature subscribe 81 ,000,-
900, to the Blue Ridge Railroad, and continue
the Commissioners in regard to the removal of
the Charleston bar, until the work is actually
commenced by the General Government.
The message concludes by congratulating the
State on the present calm, but expresses fears
that it Will be of but short DURATION and hopes
that the Southern States, on a recurrence of fur
ther aggressions, (which will surely come, will
Use in the majesty of their strength, and, in
coniuction with South Carolina, either force
their rights to be respected or take their place

ARRIVAL OFTHE AMERICA ATBoSToN

Latest advices from Paris state that The time
serving Judges and Perfects were already filling
the jails with parties who are even suspected of
opposition to the tyrant and usurper. The
slightest pretexts are made use of for arrests
France may remain quiet, but Europe hardly
can.
In the English Parliament Lord John Rus
sell had denounced the evasive policy of the
Government. Lord Palmerston said the coun-
try demanded of the House declaration in fa-
vor of the present commercial policy.
The Queen, in her speech at the opening of
Parliament, congratulates the country on its
prosperous condition, and hints vaguely at pro-
lection, as follows
"If you should be of opinion that recent leg
islation in contributing with other causes TO this
happy result, has, at the same time, inflicted
unavoidable injustice on certain important in
terests, recommended you dispaSsionately to
consider how, as far as it may be practicable,
equitably to mitigate that injury, and to enable
the industry of the country to meet successfully

ment in its wisdom has decided it should be sub
jected.'

matters; recommends University reform; and
would rejoice if the transportation of conyictS
