Yours, truly.

The London Times gives the following fasci-
mating description of Dahomey, the country on
the coast of Africa which the British govern
ment has recently taken under its protection;
The great potentate of the district in CUES
ton is wretched negro, who calls himself
GUEZo, King Of DAHoMEY. As he is now him
self, 80 would all his predecessors appear to
have been. 1t would seem that about 200 years
ago, a savage called TAHooHDoHNoH, King of
Takkee, marched in hostile guise upon the town
of Abomey. Here he performed a vow to his
fetish by ripping open the belly of the captured
prince, and placing the mangled corpse under
the foundations of his new palace, WHICH was
Hence the kingdom has received the name of
Dahomey. Guezo, the present King of" Dah's
Belly" is brutal savage, who spends his time
among his $4,000 wives, and in outing the
throats of all the weaker tribes who have the
misfortune to live in his vicinity Commander
Forbes, Of the Benetta, made on excursion to
the lair of this drunken monster, and found him
in the midst of his women and his pannikins of
rum. At a great festival held In honor of their
arrival this King of Dahomey or Dah's Belly
INDUCED his visitors with the sight of decapi-
tation, just as an European sovereign would
take his guests to review or to the Opera The
victims were brought In baskets or boats, strap.
ped down az criminals are in France, when they
are brought up to be thrust under the knife of
the guillotine The boat or basket was placed
on end on parapet The King gave the basket
push from above, which caused it to topple
over height of twelve feet Immediately the
poor creatures heads reached the ground, they
were, of course, stunned, and before they recov-
cred themselves the executioners had finished
the bloody work, and the bodies were cast out
to the wolves and vultryes These men were
prisoners of war, not criminals. And such is
the wretch with whom our diplomatic and
naval agents on the spot have been in close re-
lations

Amazons. The king wives are notable lighters

KNOWLEDGE Is POWER"
No. II.

KNOWLEDGE 10 POWER"
There are few axioms quoted more frequent
ly, or more universally received than this. 1t is
generally arcribed to BACON, who, however,
goes no further than merely suggesting that as
general rule, knowledge of material things
increases our power over them. But he never
was guilty of the folly Of applying this to every
species of knowledge, for there are too many
exceptions, 80 many indeed As almost to consti-
tute rule themselves. Chemists can now de-
compose diamonds, but can no more make
diamond than the most ignorant of men. They
can also decompose vegetables, but to put them
together again is beyond their skill. Astrono-
mers have no more power over the heavenly
bodies since they ascertained their magnitude
and distances and the most labOred analysis
of the human mind will not enable US to con-
troll its operations or direct its energies. The
axiom is peculiarly applicable to mechanical sci
ence, where knowledge is certainly power. To
those who apply it universally, and imagine that
a knowledge of every thing would give us pow
or over every thing, ard that the more we learn
the wiser we become, would recommend an
attentive perusal of the first book of Bacon's
Philosophy, "Of the profcience and advance
ment of learning divine and human" The learned
and scientific world of the present day would do
we'll to study that essay. 1t will teach them
what sort of knowledge is power; what is real
~ useful, and what is not; what is true philos-
ophy, and what is only idle speculation and
that when we attempt to dive beyond our DEPTH
we only involve ourselves in inextrcable doubt,
confusion, and error.
EQUALITY.
The equality of the two races of white men
and negroes is now universally recognized in
Europe. This is as it should be. They are all
slaves, and slavery makes all men equal
PREcEDENTs.
Precedents derive their authority from being
in accordance with reason and justice, and any
measure founded on these is quite as proper
without precedent as with it, The authority
of presidents is founded on the presumption
that those who have gone before us were wiser
or better than ourselves which is little in ac-
cordance with the lofty pretensions of the pres
ent age.
LEGISLATION.
large portion of the Legislation of Congress
consists in giving away the public lands, and
the public money. Legislators, now that the
Constitution is becoming nose of wax to be
moulded as they please, are the sovereigns of
the country, having assumed the power of mod
flying and controlling the will of the people, de-
clared in their conventions and ratified by their
acceptance, which are the only supreme author
ity in free country. The people had better
look to this, or the time may come when their
agents will be their masters. Instead of their
giving the tone to government, they will re.
ceve it from Washington. The tide is begin.
ming to flow the wrong way.

W- Speaking of the late Cuba expedition

tW- Speaking of the late Cuba expedition,
the Picayune says
"The past has we'll taken care Of tn, future,
without the necessity Of any rigorous examples,
or the infection Of legal penalties, to prevent
future invasons of Cuba from the United
States. Those who were hereto fore disposed
to embark in such adventures have had severe
lessons, which will tend to suppress their en-.
thusiasm and check their credulty. No Cuban
enterprise is possible for long time to come.
None is ever likely to be got up again, except
under political circumstances. when the interfer-
ence to arrest it would be useless, and undesired
by the government or the people. if not posi-
lively discountenanced by both. The result of
the late invasion have dispersed forever the
project of organizing a revolution in Cuba
from without. They have given bitter expe-
rience Of the rashness of trusting to paper pro.
CARNATIONS, and partial risings of an unorran.
lied few as proofs of popular movement, They
have sadly weakened, if not utterly destroyed,
all confidence in the assurances by the natives
Of their ability or their willingness to rise in an
effective manner to aid an invading force invited
by themselves No calculations upon interior
aid were ever more sanguine, or apparently well
founded, than those which preceded the late
disastrous undertaking, and yet everything
failed as utterly and miserably as though there
had been the intent to entrap, when there was
probably only incapacity and helpessness.
At all events the demonstrations been per-
feet, that the discontented islanders are power
less to fulfill any engagement they may make
for material aid; and that they are more feeble
now than they have been at any time for many
years. Cuba will be undisturbed by revolution
airy invasons from the United States, unless the
Cubans themselves shall have so established
their claim to help by concerted and successful
attempt to establish an independent government
that the law of nations and the law of the
country will not conflict with the sympathy
which will carry them'H material aid
But before this period arrives, materia
changes in the political affairs of the world
may take place, and the wiser policy of peace
full annexation by purchase, may remove the
motives and the possibility of disturbances. Ir
the interim, the hope of such an event will fur
Their tend to keep down even the disposition tt
NEEDLE with the internal affairs Of Cuba"
