nrTba Endemic in New Orleans

y-Ths Epidemic in New Orleans
has subsidized 30 far, that the record Of
deaths from the fever reach and aver
agc only about 35 to 40 per day. The
city papers have but very little to say
about it, except that it is just as safe
for unacclimated persons to remain o.
way from New Orleans until after |"
frost if not safer--than TO come there.
We can say the same OF our city, for
the insidious foe is still busy on every
hand and new cases are being reported
almost constantly, though Is seems to
be generally admitted, that they are
far less virulent than the first run OF
cases.

-Almos. every mail, and every batch
of teleg-aphic news from Washington
and tho North, have more or less 70
say about the embarrassment Of Presi-
den. Pierce in reference 10 the promise
sed appointment Of Genl. Dix to the
French Mission. The alledged reason
Of all this embarrassment arising from
the fact that Genl. Dix is, or was free
soiler; and the South is terribly OPP
posed TO the appointment. In our
opinion. the President shows weak
ness of nerve and a vaccillature, total
ly unworthy of his exalted position, to
hesitate for one moment in appointing
Genl. Dix to that important mission,
if be desires that person to represent
his administration at that particular
court. What if Genl. Dix is Free
Soiler! He is nevertheless one of the
ablest men in New York and has ever
been a sturdy Democrat. Whose bu-
siness is it, if Genl. Dix is Free Soiler
Genl. Pierce has made great many
appointments more worthy the ami
madyersion OF his fienas and the coun-
try, than would be the appointment ol
such man rs Genl. Dix, to the French
Mission. We have no influence al
Washington. We are sorry to say, a.
monr the members of the cabinet but
if our voice could be heard there, we
would say, send Dix to France. So
far ~ "tbe South" or 'ihc North,
Except few wirepullers and jobhers
N politics. or "the East or the West
are concerned, it will be all right
There is more good sense and patri-
,tism in one of Genl Dix's fingers,
than in the heads Of the whole clique
Of political hucksters who cry out a.
gainst his appointment; besides be II
'.nown that this whole cry comes from
little coterir in New York and Penn
Svlvania, who are themselves Free
Sellers and unworthy Of being listened
! to for q moment.

The Laurel HLL.--We notice IN
the New Albany Tribune, description
of Capt. J. A. CorroS' new steamer
Laurel Hill, designed to run semi
weekly between New Orleans and
BAYOU Sara. From the description
given Of the new steamer, she VIII rank
A-No. /, among the many fine steam
ers already running in the coast trades,
b..rsen New Orleans and the upper
cities.
The Lnuyel Hill and the new Nat
chez, No. 3, added to the Bella Donna,
Southern Belle, the Gipsy and the New
Latona, will make as fine a fleet of
steamers, as can be found on any river
in the world. Appropos of steamboats,
on the Mississippi, a gentleman from
Natchez, took with him to the world s
fare in London two years ago, several
Of the bills Of fare of the dinner on the
Magnolia, on the 4'h of July of that
year; and showed them TO some En-
clish gentry and mobiles, who had at
tended dinner given 10y the Queen
on her birthday, and they acknowl-
edged, that Captain Thommasson's bill
of fare surpassed in every particular
that Of their Queens given on her
birthday. American steamboats, CIV
ing better dinner than the Queen o.

The Poorly Of AGHlcULTURE.-
The principles Of agriculture are ex-
ceeding'v simple That they might
be so, God himself was the great plan
or. He wrote his laws visibly. in the
brightest, loyeliest, and most intelligi-
bic characters, everywhere upon the
broad bosom Of the liberal earth in
yreen"st leaves, in delicious fruits, in
hegniling and delieate flowers. But
he does not content himself with this
alone. He bestows the heritage along
with the example. He prepares the
garden and home, before he creates
the being WHO is to possess them. He
Gil. them with all these objects Of

Nations like individuals IN civ'''Sed
communities, are bound by c. rtain
rules, called The Law ofNations," to
observe towards each other certain
forms and respect certain rights.
The Law of Nations, however. ia an
antiqasted batch of regulations, which
nations, at the present day, respect
but very little, especially when inter-
est, revenge. or caprice may urge
their violation. The COSTA case is
one in point. Kosa was formerly an
Austrian subject, but he aed his country
on account Of being guilty Of Repaib-
licanism, come 10 America and took
the initiative to become an American
citizen. Furnished with m Ameri-
can passport, he goes to Smyrna to
transact some business in the east, is
on his return to America, where the
Austrian Consul, without authority of
law or right, set upon him, seiged him
in olation OF all tar, and hurried
him on board an Austrian brig witt,
the avowed intention Of sending him
10 Austria to be tried and executed.
This we believed, after reading all the
vst amount of learned disqnisitiou:
that has been written and published
upon it, Is the sum Of one side Of the
case. That Austria clearly violated
the "Law of nations in the proceed.
ins, is evident to any man, even If ht
never saw battle, nor heard Of Wheaton
both learned exrounders of that old
code. Now, Consuls aud even vessel
of war, arc sent out to all parts OF the
world, aud by all nations Of the world
to look after, and protect the inter
ests and citizens Of the various gov.
ernmepts to which they belong. The
American war vessel ST. Louis, and
an American Consul, who happ ned tt
be in port at Smyrna, with the copta'
of that ship at once took active niea'
nres to rescue the man, the moment
they learned the particulars Of the ar

could not restrain their wild frenzy, he
flew to the carriage door, and throwing it
open, clasped Adeliza in his arms, as her
father sprang to the ground. and the next
instant. the horses were yainly struggling
with death, in the dark waters below.
Struck with terror at the continued life
.lessness of Adeliza, her father and lover
(for it was Parades) chaffed her thin white
hands and marble-like temples, while they
called loudly for assistance, and physi-
clan hurried to their aid. But before he
reached the spot, she slowly opened her
eyes and looked anxiously round till her
glance fell upon. the fearful faces of her
friends, then clasping their hands, while a
smile of inffable love lighted up her fea-
lures, she gave kick, groan, laid
right over and-died. 81 7

NEVER TOO LATE.

'Tis idle to mourn over perishing gold,
Or to weep for a fond hope betrayed,
For. the fair tree of knowledge springs up, as Of
old, 81 :
From the dust where our errors are laid;
Ills folly to think that the world is our foe,
And heap bitter words upon fate,
For one glorious hope lights the world with its
glow,
While we live it is NEVER TOO LATE.
IT'S weak to grow naughty in fortune and power
Forgetting the nature we bear,
But tits weaker to fail in life's stormiest hour,
And fold up our hands in despair.
What might have been done in time that is past
May be done cen to-day-by the great;
If we only will bind opportunity fast,
And think it is NEVER TOO LATE. ~
Crowns have fallen away from the foreheads OF
kings,
Who fultered a moment and feared,
While the hopeful and bold from the commonest
things,
The Proudest of monuments reared;
The heroes of life are the men of all time,
Who calmly their trial await,
w no shrinknot to delve and who fear not to climb
And know it is NEVER TOO LATE

SoUND.-It is a remarkable fact, that
sounds, of all qualities and pitches, move
with equal rapidity. Quality and pitch
should not be confounded with intensity.
The loudest instrument in band will be
heard furthest, of course, but the notes of
all travel parri passu, and reach the ear
at the same instant. The transmission
may be facilitated or impeded by contri-
vance or accident. The speaking tube in
hotels and dwellings shows how the ordi-
nary tone of the voice may be conveyed
perfectly between distant points. The
length of the tube seems to be immaterial.
In Paris the experiment has been tried
in water-pipes, mile long, and the faint
est whisper at one end was distinctly heard
at the other.
