THOMAS JEFFERSON ON FILLlBUsTERING.-In
bis sixth annual message to Congress, Mr.. JEFF
terson made the following comments upon Fill
clustering; which, in those days, was digniied
by the name of hostile invasion of friendly
power:
:. In country whoce constitution is derived
from the viii of the people, directly expressed
by their free sufrages where the principal ex-
ecutve fUnctionaries, and those of the legislature
are renewed by them at short periods; where.
under the character of Jurors, they exercise in
person the greater portion of the Judiciary
powers; where the laws are so formed and ad-
Ininistered as to bear with equal weight and fa-
upon all, restraining no man in the pursuit
OF honest industry, and securing to every one
the property which that acquires, it would not
be supposed that any safeguards could be
needed against insurreciion or enterprise OH the
public peace or authority The laws, however,
aware that these should not be trusted to moral
restraints only, have wisely provided punish
ments for such crimes when committed. But
would 1t not be salutary TO give also the means
of preventing their commission. Where an en-
terprise is meditated by private individuals
against foreign nation in amity with the Uni
ted States, powers of prevention are given, to a
certain extent, by the laws; would they not be
as reasonable and useful where the enterprise
is preparing against the United States! While
adverting to this branch of the law, it is proper
TO observe, that ia enterprises mediiaied against
foreign naiious The ordinary process of binding
to the observance of the peace and good be-
haviour, could it be extended TO acis done ont
of The Jurisdiction of the United States, would
be effectual in some cases where the offender is
able to keep out of sight every indication of his
purpose which could draw on him the exercises
of the powers now given by law

THE JEWISH PEoPL The Jews expect q
Messiah TO appear, who will reign with the
greatest worldly pomp and bduing
the house of Judea. Some talk of two Messiahs
one in humble condition. and the other a
victorious and powerful prince great many
OF the Jews, taking the prophecy of Hosea liter
ally, believe that their nation will yet return to
the land nf their fathers. Uniform views upon
this subject however, are not entertained by
them. Many expected the Messiah in ls40, aud
according to the calculations Of others, he may
be looked for in 1866 or 20l6.

attempted to a knife on MIR. Donahue when

ORIeISAL SIN.-In one of John Adams letters
to his wife, is the following remark on original
sin: l,.t
Why" says the Doctor, " l satisfy myself
about it in this manner. Either original sin is
divisible or it is indivisible. If is divisible,
every descendent of Adam and Eve must have,
part and the share which falls to each indi-
vidual at this day is so small particle that
think it is not worth considering. If indivisible,
then the whole quantity must have descended
in right line, and must now be possessed by
one person only; and the chances are millions
to millions to one, that that person is now in
Asia or Africa, and that have nothing to do with
it"

BULL lOWN, Nov L, 1000
Mr. EDITuR:-I aint writ to you fur tue
weeks, and the reason is I've been kinder sick !;
but as 1 am better, take my pen in hand to give
you the news OF Bull Town. And irst of ALL the
Squire has left town Father heard the folk
say that he had had SO many law cases before
him, since he has been Justis, that he had to go
away to cit recruited and rest his mind. Frum
what heard tell, the people did drive him right
hard spell-some days two or three cases.
And then the lawyer could Mt attend Court this
week as he had 10 git the horses shoed. Our
lawyer, Mr.. Editor, takes care OF Crawl q Han
defs horses, the great stage toix, and TO amuse
himself when he aint busy in the barn, does a
little law. didn't believe the Squire was gone,
SO went to the store one day last week to see

ed, and now they are going to make copy

Early Working Of Corn.

a little prevention is better than a
great deal Of cure, in keeping clear
crops.
These remarks are especially ap-
plicable TO corn making. An early
start, and encopragements to rapid
growth. are all important Our obi
scrvation has been, that injaries from
neglect at this time, are rarely over

ty Just at the close Of cotton plant
ing. to put e4etything in first Rate
order, about GFs corn. Plow close
and deep, and let the hoes follow
thinning to a stand, and give the re
manning stalks a nice dressing, ad.

perfectly clean. Great ftithfalness i

which, the hoe-hands cannot be we

for 4 utting the corn forward, and 2
guarantees Of success can be given t
those who neglect 70 DO it. We no
only advise the sidcing to be clos
and deep, but that all the intermedi
ate space between the rows shall b
thoroughly piowed and pulyerised. :
