TUNIs, (BARBARY,) July 18th, 1853
L regret to inform you that no improve
ment has taken place in the condition of this
country since the date of my last letter and
it can safely be asserted that until this Re-
gency falls into the hands of o European
power, that no advancement towards civilisa-
ton and wise government Will ever come to
pass within the boundaries
The evil influences of superstition and had
government have made themselves but too
evident in this unhappy region. The kingdom
Oh 1ums is, beyond a doubt, superior in every
respect to the rest of the Barbary States. Its
climate is good, its soil is excellent. and the
natural resources of the country are very
great; but the people are oppressed by des
petite government, and all is misery and nri
vation where nature has provided for happi
ness and abundance.
Iunis was once considered the granary Of
the world, and The most valuable province of
the Roman Empire; but now she is compelled
to close her store-houses TO foreign commerce.
the government having prohibited the expor-
tation of wheat for period of three months,
as this years crop has, in great measure
failed. The following fact will give you an
idea of the desperate condition of the people

Great excitement exists here on account cr
the prospects of war between Russia and Tur-
key. We frequently receive letters on the
subject from our American friends in Con
stantinople; they do not appear to feel any
apprehensions on our account
Ahmed Basha's health is very bad. and his
mind is much impaired lie has lost all in
terest in the affairs of his country and of his
people, and nothing appears to direct his
thoughts from his own personal sufferings but
the warlike news which reach him from Con
stantinople. He evidently considers the fate
of his country as being linked to that of the
Ottoman Empire, and that with the fall of the
latter, the close of his own dynasty Is near at
hand
Before closing my letter must make known
to you at least one step which this country has
male in the march towards civilization. and
it will perhaps surprise you TO learn that it is
from America that the progressive .sp,7t
reaches these distant shores. Spiritual rap

By q. C. wBPrTLRSY.
Our spirits ever would convey,
The mists and murky shades of sOTow.
Without glimpse of joy to-ilay,
Or hope of happiness TO morrow.
Dill Friendship never look sublime
Upon the running stream of time,
And as the sun his sparkles Sits
Upon the clouds that roam the air,
In beauty drapes the trickIing drifts,
And plants his show of promise there.
So Friendship eilds the mist of years.
And paints rainbow on our tears.

there is not some speedy measure taken, the

while we have the time and opportunity,
leave government so our children can enjoy
their liberty as we have, or did some years a.
go; but if this generation passes away, and
makes no effort to put things in a better

liberties as we have done heretofore. Now
let us call township meetings andal meet to-
gether, and pick out suitable men, and pay no
attention to party. know of men that sup
port different parties, that would rejoice at
such move as this. We are all interested
in government affairs. do believe the COM

ever party spirit is kept up. | am in hopes
some qualified person will take it in hand

To THE EpIToRs OF THE BELMONT CHRONICLE

To THE EDITORS OF THE BELMONT CHRONICLE.
Your paper some weeks ago contained a
notice o the appointment of ISAAC e. EATON
Esq. as Secretary OF the Central Ohio Rail-
road with the usual puff Of an in when he has
been raised from an out.
The notice of the appointment of Mr.. Ea-
ton was received with almost universal dis
satisfaction on the part of the stockholders,
and the public generally.
know of no individual in our county that
is SO totally incompetent for the post, and
whose connexon with that great enterprise
is so incongruous. 1t was charged by that
gentleman that the location of the road was
made without merit, that extraneous inlluen-
ces were brought to bear upon the conduct OF
the President and Directory, imputing crime
to said Board, and especially upon the Presi-
dent that he was perjured man, that the
Directory were influenced by avarice and
stances for such unwarrantabe charges is
that where he is known he can do but little
injury.
1t is to be very mnchrregrctted that enter
prises OF the magnitude of the Central Ohio
Railroad should suffer in its body from thu
foul excrescence emunating from Smal
clique of party politics, so small that We have
no small beer shop small enough for their dc
ilberntions, but with pretensions in import
ance to rule the nation, Railroads not cxcep
ted.
1t is to be hoped that the Board at thei
next meeting will take such steps as thei
own self-respect might require, and the inte
rests Of the Road dictate, under the circum
stances; and it is to be hoped on the final &C
tion of the Board that the culpabilty may ex
tend to one only Of the Board. For such ac
ton of the Board there will be but few com
pluints, perhaps not beyond the influence o
a few stockholders who may have duplicut
interest. "A STOCKHOLDER.

0-J-lt Is stated that the recent census of the
Sandwich Islands illustrates in the most un-
misthkeab'e manner the vital law that the
inferior race must give way to the stronger.
The present population is ls,GIl. The
deaths during the last year were 7,0i3, births
only l,l7o; an average of six deaths to one
birth. The foreigners number only LIST.
In the time Of Cook the population OF the
islands Was 100000, showing a decrease in
seventy years Of 100000. IN 1886 it was
los s,570j decrease In seventeen years nearly
$4,000. 'Snch a rapid decrease of native
population Is deeply melancholy spectacle
At the prescpt rate Of decrease another
generation will have hardly passed ere THE
people will be blotled from the face Of the
earth
