No man for any length of time can
pursue one vocation or one train OF

cy which belongs to it as whole. be-
longs, too, to all its constituent parts.
One portion of it cannot be called into
incessant activity without permanent
injury ensuing. Its different regions,
devoted to different functions. must
have their separate times of rest. The
excitement OF one part must be coinci-

The Swamp lands of Arkansas.

The present high state of water in
the Mississippi is already demonstrat-
ing the feasibility of the plan of re-
claiming the swamp lands of Arkansas.
Even in the present incomplete state of
the work, thousands of acres which
without the leyees would have been
submerged, are still high and dry
There cannot, we think, be any doubt
but that when the entire system is fin
ished on the scale contemplated, mil
lions of acres of the very finest lands
which have heretofore lain useless on
account of the periodical overfiow,will
be brought to cultivation-adding un-
told sums to the productive wealth of
the country. We understand from a
reliable source, that the total amount of
scrip issued up to this time is $4,000.
We make this statement, to correct an
erroneous impression which has gone
abroad, that a half million of dollars
had been put out. The sum given a.
bove, $4,000. covers the entire issue
up to this time.-Eags and Enquirer.

at this place at s O'Clock this morning.
The explosion was terrific, killing as is
supposed, nearly one hundred persons.

rette, pilot; Mr.. Clancy, engineer; Mr..
Evans, engineer.

Mr.. Brookman, first clerk, and John
Sommerton. are the cniy officers noI
injured.
Four of the crew were saved.
First clerk, Brookman, has charge
of the boat; that and the cargo tota
loss.
Negligence of the engineer, was the
cause of the explosion.
The precise number of killed and
wounded is not yet ascertained: the ac.
counts vary from eighty to one hun
dred. Twenty were buried this after.
noon.
A meeting of the citizens was held
this evening, and measures were adop

KOSSUTH AT MOBILE.

kossuth spoke at Mobile on the Sd,
to about $500 people. His speech
seems to have been warmly received.
Judge Gayle, Judge Meek and Col. Per-
cy Walker, representing the wings, ma
tional democrats, and State Rights par
ty, were called on, and in brief address
ses expressed their entire appI oval OF
what he said. And the Rev. Mr.. Mil
burne closed the impressive scene with
a touching prayer. The Tribune says:
"The pale and attenuated form OF
the eloquent student and preacher con-
trasted strikingly, in its gravity and Sc
riousness, with the manner of those
who spoke before him. The audience
felt the change, and when, in a clear,
solemn and low tone, he proceeded, un-
til turning to Kossuth, with his hands
extended and uplifted eyes, he blessed
the cause and the man, and invoked the
aid of heaven upon them, calm fell
upon the immense assemblage, and
hardly breath was drawn. The quiv-
ering around the muscles of the mouth
of the Hungarian showed that he felt
the earnestness of the appeal. He
rose and grasped the hands of Mr.. Mil
burne and wrung them, amidst the
shouts which seemed to prove that the
hearts of the audience dwelt in the
prayer for the emancipation of Hun
gary and the triumph of truth and lib
erty throughout the world.
This was a fitting close of the pro-
ceedings, and then the hemeeting broke up
in shout after shout. which shook the
roof of the amphitheatre.''

Three young men, conceited wits, as
they thought themselves, passing along
the road near Oxford, met a grave old
gentleman, with whom they had mind
to be rudely merry:
"Good morrow, father Abraham y
said one.
Good morrow, father Isaac,' said the
next.
Good morrow, father Jacob said
the last.

Fletcher's Studies on Slavery.

IhlS splendid WORK on slavery, says
the Natchez "Free Trader" of the l4th
inst, has just arrived. Mr.. Warner is
low ready to deliver the work to his
subscribers. Mr.. Warner is prepared
to furnish any quantity of them at So
a volume; it is royal Svo., 630 pages;
bound with sheep skin and marble
edges. We but reiterate the express
sion of a Clergyman, made on Thurs
day last, 'sThat the Bible should be the
first Book in every mans house, and
'Fletcher's Studies of Slavery should
be next" And in both by steady ap-
plication, useful theological, and polit-
ical knowledge may be obtained suffi-
cient in the first instance 10 save the
soul, and in the second to make a good
republican citizen.
We have heretofore spoken of this
long anticipated work, and given our
opinions of what we had seen of it,
As we now have it complete before US,
we would take this occasion to say.
that it is the best. the cheapest and the
only volume of the kind ever got up in
the Southern country. Mr.. Warner
deserves the patronage of the country
for the publication of SO valuable a
work. Ii is unnecessary to say any
thing of the author. The title of the
book, .Studies" is very appropriate, as
there are very few who would, OF
could study on SO deep and importan,
subject. 1t required Fletcher to dc
it. He studied the Hebrew, Greek,
and Latin, to give to US the light oi
| truth in the English.

Theatre in Aberdeen.

Mr.. and Mrs. CRISP, says the Monroe
Democrat, with their corps Of dramatic arts
ties, horalded by but short notice, though
with Interpolation preceding them through
the medium Of the press, arrived in this place
a few days since and on Monday evening
last, at the "Collegiate Hail. made their de-
but before an Aberdeen audience. Judging
from the abundant manifestations of approval
by the respectable audience that attended,
and the expression since ofprivate sentiment,
so far as VIC have collected it, the mass CT
those present must have been very much
pleased with the performances. For ourself,
-uncultivated though be our taste in the
histronic art,-we are free to declare we
very mach enjoyed the evenings entertain
monts.
The Company made their second appear
ance last night, and to large audience. We
are gratifed to learn, they acquitted them
selves very brilliantly indeed, every one we
meet this morning who was there, giving us
the most glowing account of their truly ex.
cellent performances.
Mr.. Crisp, as we learn from him, visits US
chiefly to ascertain the taste of our citizens,
for the moral and intellectual drama.
The Theatre and Lot in Huntsville was
presented to Mrs. Crisp, and has been i'm.
proved by Mr.. c. to the amount of nearly
three thousand dollars.
Mr.. Crisp is DESTROYS of blending with
Huntsville some three towns into a circuit
to perform in each twice year.
Should the patronage here encourage a
hope ofsuccess in the future, Mr.. Crisp, pre-.
viously to his departure, will make propo.
sition to cur towns-pCopIo, to erect pretty
Theatre, adapted for Ballroom and place o.
reception for public meetings; similar to
those 10 New York and Boston.

the reporters, and the platform ID the street
was erected hours before that time.
Themasses we're absent-=the leaders were
absent--and even the committee were %
ashamed Of the failure, that they did not
make their appearance on or about the plat.
form, which was deserted during the eve.
ming. There was total want of enthusi.
asm.
Aud this is exactly the character of all
the wing meetings that have been held. It
was the same at the ratification meeting at
the Broadway House, the same ut Niagara
Falls, the same at Tompkins square, where
the veraciOus Tribune stated that there were
$4,000 persons present. It has been the
same all over the country. Notwithstand-
ing Greeley tracts, Robinson pamphlets,
Lives Of Scott, and the daily diatribes Of a
thousand wing journals, extolling the mill
tary and civic virtues Of their candidate, it
has been found utterly impossible to get up
the steam. Whatever enthusiasm there has
been, has been monopolised by the demo
Gratis, whose ratification meeting in this city
was the greatest held since the days of Gen.
Jackson. But even with them the enthu-
siasm is dying away, from the very opposite
cause which has oxtinguished it among the
wings The whig party have lost all spirit,
because they are conscious of their utter
weakness, and know they are doomed to de-
feat. The democrats are so satisfied that
they have the game in their hands, without
even an effort, that the contest has lost for
them that exciting interest which doubt and
uncertainty ever produce. The wings, on the
other hand, know they will be kicked out,
and they are desperate. What else could
induce their press and their orators to resort
to such low scurrility and blackguardism in
assailing the personal character of the demo
cratic candidate?
The speech of the Hon. Mr.. Stanly, Of
North Carolina, member OF Congress, is
below a third rate rum and rowdy Grafton.
1t is of the Rynders order; but far inferior
in point of ability, or even decency, to the
cut and thrust speeches of the Captain Of
the Empire Club. It is degrading to a
member of Congress; and, like the recent
scene in the House of Representatives, in
which the lie was SO freely given, it is the
result of being gradually and unconsciously
imbued with the spirit and style of the rufian
and corrupting party press, which has indulg-
ed this base and vile vituperation from the
moment that the whig and democratic can
didates were nominated

At the State convention, held on the 9Th
of January, 1852, resolution was unani-
mously adopted which re-afirmed the posi-
tons taken at previous conventions.
And now, we make the Banner this offer :
If it will show US that the Legislature OF
any northern whig State has, like the Legs
lature of New Hampshire, APPROVED the
compromise, or that any wing State Con-
vention in any Northern State has passed
resolutions as strong as those of the New
Hampshire Convention in favor of the com.
promise, we will copy its proof in big type,
and keep it standing in our paper until
Pierce is elected President. If it cant do
this, let common candor induce it to stop its
denunciations Of the New Hampshire de.
mocracy.
Will it tryP MOI. For it knows it can
not accomplish the task, and it is not willing
that its readers should know the rottenness
of northern whiggery.
By the way: we not long since offered to
print the proof that Scott had approved the
compromise, if it could be furnished. The
Banner has not tried to furnish the proof
1t is clear from this that that paper has nc
proof to offer!

notice which our cotemporary of the Monroe

sional claims Of Mr.. and Mrs. Crisp, who are

DR.. johnson would have luxriated upon
such morsel as this Mr. Webster appoints
the Wilmington IN Co. Commercial to

everything; but when it is understood that
Wilmington is the headquarters Of the anti
Scott party in North Carolina, and that those
who oppose Gen. Scott there are all for
Webster, the "good wing authority" may
not be acceptable to such super6ne partisans
as Stanly, Mangum, and Seward. In sup
port of his preference of the Commercial, of
his good opinion of the editor, and of the
characterOf Wilmington as highly impor-
tant point, he naively "refers Mr.. Mangum
to his own speeches.
The "Knoxville Wing" is Parson Brown.

Scott in Tennessee. This journal was cho-
sen to print the laws on "the express recon-
mendation ola majority Of the wing members
of Congress from that State" Tennessee.
This certainly is crushing answer to Mr.
Mangum, especially when reflection shows
that those who recommended it to the Secre-
tary are all opposed to SCOTS election. So
Mr.. Webster avenges himself, and Messrs.
Gentry, Williams, and Watkins, at the same
time, by decapitating those who SANDER both,
and elevating those who sustain and applaud
them.
Mr.. Webster's letter serves, therefore, a
mostdesirable purpose. It is proof that his
stand is taken in this contest, and is the au-
thentic evidence Of the union and harmony
that prevail in the whig party, or between
Gen. Scott and his abolition b0dy-guard and
the old whig captains and veterans
