THE NEGRO RAcE.-Bayard Taylor, wri-
ting from Nubia, in Upper Egypt, says:
Those friends of the African race who
point TO Egypt as proof of what that race
has accomplished, are wholly mistaken. The
only negro features represented in Egyptian
sculpture are those Of slaves and captivcs
taken IN the Ethiopian wars of the Pharaohs:
The temples and pyramids throughout Nu-
bia, as far as the Dar-Fur and Abyssinia, NIL
bear the hieroglyphs of these monarchs, and
there is no evidence in the vally of the Nile
that the Negro race ever. attained higher
degree of civilization than is at present exhi-
biied in Congo and Asbantee. ! mention
this not from any feeling hostile TO that race,
but simply to controvert an opinion very
prevalent in some parts Of the United States.

the EDGEFIELD HUMANS, with the loss of one of
its most valued aud excellent members, CHARLES
j. GLOVER, who fell victim to death. on the
seventh of this month, after protracted illness

ments. The paragraph alluded TO in it from
the Mobile Tribune is, we presume, the fol-
lowing which appeared in that Journal on
Tuesday last:
"DAEK OF ST. MARY's.-Thcrc was a
good deal of excitement in town yesterday
in regard to the issues of this bank. For
several months the bills have passed here in
ordinary transactions at par, and as they
were redeemed on demand at the counter Of
4 respectable merchant, almost every one
had confidence in the sovency of the nsti.u-
ton. The present distrust, we understand,
grew out of the fact that draft of the bank,
for large amount, was protested here on
the 18th instant, for non payment"
COLUMBUS, April %.
To THE PrBLIc.-A very heavy and nm
prccedentcd run upon the Bank Of st. Ma
ry's, for the month past, aggravated and
brought to crisis, by an unnecessary and
probably yindiciivc publication IN the Mobile
Tribune, and copied in the Montgomery Ad-
rertiser, without comment, Of the inability Of
Il Drawcc, 10 pay the Banks. draft for $780,
600 (dollars) has. am panied 10 say, forced
her to Il temporary suspension Of specie pay
ment. 1t affords me, however, pleasure TO
assure the public, that the Institution is
abundantly solvent and requires only lit
tie time 10 marshal her assets. In addition
to her own means, will bring to her aid my
own ample fortune, until not note shall be
left in circulation. The means will be in n
few days provided to pay all her dcpositors; :;
and the outstanding checks upon the several
points drawn, will be honorcd on prcscnta-
tion. These assurances to the public of the
entire solvcncy Of the Institution, arc not gi-
ven for the purpose Of sustaining its credit,
as the Bank will be wound up without delay,
and her Charter surrendered TO the, power
that created it. The small notes of the
Bank, as well as my own, will be promptly
redeemed, without intermissinn, until the last
dollar shall have been retired. | will close
my financial connexion with the public with
honor, even should it be necessary 10 part
with everything but its good opinions.

TEA AND CoFFEE.-The following anaIy-
sis of the powers oftea and coffee, by Dr..
Sigmond, will be read with interest by all
who perusc it. He says: 4Tea as the
morning beverage when breakfast forms a
good substantial meal upon which the pow
ers for the day of meeting the various chan
ccs and changes of life depend, provided it
be not too strong. is much to be recommcn-
dcd; but when individuals eat little coffee,
certainly supports them in more decided
manner; and besides this. tco,without a Ger
tain quantity of solid aimcnt, is much more
likely to influence the nervous system.
Some persons, if they drink tea in the morn.
ing and coffee at night, must suffer in the an
inal spirits, and in the power of enjoymen:
of the pleasures of society; but frhey re-
verse the system, and take coffee in the morn.
ing and tea at night, they reap benefit from
the change; for the coffee, which to them-in
the morning isnutritous, becomes stimulus
at night; and the tea, which acts rs a dilu.
tent at night: gives nothing for support du-
ring the day."

A WoMhSs OPINION OF HUsBAnDs.-Wc
know That men have, by nature, n superiority
in strength, which enables them to 60 through
labors and dangers mental as we'll as bodily.
from which females should be exempt, and
that by education, they are quali'iel for exer.
csing the several trades or professions bv
which they are to maintain their families.
On The other hand. women are endowed (bc-
sides the graceful amhrblcness of the sey,)
with great superiority of quickness, tact,
and delicate disrernment, in all the everyday
affairs of life. In all these, therefore, the
husband ought to be completely guided, by
his wife. And :his shows the wisdom of our
ancestors in making the husband "endpw
with all his worldly goods" the wife he has
chosen. The wife is dependent on the hu>-
bind, and climbs to HIM for support, Just as
ahop plant climbs onj''s pole, und sweet
pea on the sticks to support it, and MS the
vine IN Italy was, according to the poets,
married to The elm" But If you could COM
ccire hop-pole, or "A pea-stick, or an elm,
imagining that those plants, were put there
on purpose for its adnrnment, you would tell
item that this was quite mistake-,hat the
Climbers arc only cultivated for the flowers
or frMit, and that the stakes are placed there
mcrcy for their sake, and mnst no, claim any
support. Nav jnst such is the office of the
husband. And this state of things il what
people approach 10 more as they advance 10
civilization. Among mere savagcs the wife
is made TO yield 10 brute force, and is a
mere drudge. In barbarian counties women
are shut up: in more civilized life they are
left free, and have more control.
