A BEAUTIFUL. P1cTuRE.-1he man who stands
upon mis- own soil, who feels that by the laws of
the land in which he ives-by the laws of civil
lied nations-he is the rightful and exclusive own
OF the land hich he tills is by the constitution
easily imbibed from any other source. He feels
other things being equal-more strongly than an
other the character of man as the lord of an in
animate world. Of this great and wonderful
sphere. which. fashioned by the hand of God and
| upheld by his power, is rolling through the heav
ems, part is his, his from the center sky. 1t is
the space on which the generation before moved
in its round Of duties, and he feels himself con-
nected by visible link with those who to fol-
low him, and to whom he is 10 transmit home
tPerhaps his farm has come down from his fathers.
They have gone to their last home, but he can
trace their footsteps the scenes of his daily
labors. The roof which shelters him was reared
by those to whom he owes his being. Some inter
eSting domestic tradition Is connected with every
Enclosure. The favorte fruit tree was planted by
his ather's hand. He sported in boyhood beside
the brook which still winds through the meadow.
Through the fields lies the path to the village
school of earlier days. He still hears from his win
dow the sound Of the Sabbath bell which called
his father to the house of God; and at hand is
the spot where his parents laid down to rest, and
where, when his time has come, he shall be laid
| by his children. These the feelings of the
owners OF the SOIL, Words cannot paint them
gold cannot buy them they flow out of the deep
eSi fountains of the hear-they the lifesprings
OF fresh, healthy and generous national charac-
ter.-Hon. Edt0urd Eperen.

and Pork move in retail. Cheese is much asked
for. Lard keeps quiet. frallow steady. In
Quercitron Bark no change. Cloyerseed neglect

Breadstuffs--There has been a sudden rally; all
the decline in Wheat, Flour and Indian Corn has
been recovered. The bad weather here and on
the continent has stimulated spectators and
dealers, with large consumption, find themselves
bare oil stock. All good branLs of Flour are worth

Cotton-There was more doing on SATURDAY, and
at rather better prices; and yesterday, although the
sales only reached 1000 bales good staped lots of
American were dearer, [middling Orleans being
worth Gid per lb.) To-day, however, there has
been more desire to sell, and the demand being
moderate, the extreme lates of the week are not

port has been very limited, and in all branches
there has been want Of cheerfulness.

TuE LATE FIRE AT oswEoo.-The oswego
Times of Monday, is filed with details of the
great IRE. The editor writes of the terrible ac-
cident with much feeling, but in hopeful strain.
His article concludes as follows:
Our business men appear to have all been pru
denuy provided with insurance upon their prop
erty, effected i'll sound companies, which speaks
well for the future. We hear ITO doubt expressed
as to the ability of any of the Insurance Companies
located here, or of foreign companies represented
by their agents, and having large risks involved.
The calamity is terrible one but this feature in
the case relieves it of its worst aspect. 1t oils
the recuperative energies of the unfortunate, and
enables them to work out hopeful destiny while
a cloud of dark despair is seemingly hanging over
him. Az
1t is almost wonderful, and it may be set down
as one oftn proyidential circumstances attending
yesterdays catastrophe, that life was lost, that
we have been able TO learn. There were several
runors of persons being burned to death, but we
have been unable to trace them to any reliable
foundation. ,,a

The approaching August elections seem TO at

tional politics. calm and quiet most refreshing
after the hurricane of last fall. AS Journalists.
however, we must remind our readers that cleo
tions will takepiace next month in the States q
Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas,
Tennessee and North Carolina. In the two latter
States the elections will be held on Thursday, the
4th of August, and in the others on Monday, the
LIST of August. In Kentucky and Arkansas MEM
bers of Congress and the State Legislature is to be
chosen; in Missouri and North Carolina members
of Congress, and in each of the States of Alabama,
Texas, and Tennessee Governor, Legislature,
and members of Congress are to be..elected. Party
lines, except in Texas, are pretty strictly drawn,
and in Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee the
canvass isexceedingly animated. In Missouri only
two members of Congress are to chosen, they being
the additional members to which the State is enti.
tied under the late apportionment act. The other
fvewere elected last year before the above men
toned act was passed, and the Legislature suisse
quently divided the State into seven DISTRICTS
The election this year is held in the ST. Louis and
Palmyra districts, the first ofwhich is Democratic
and the latter w hg.-Baltimore American.
