THE TOMB OF NApoLEoN.--Wm.
G. Bryant, the poet, recently visited
the tomb of Napoleon in the Church
of the Iuvalides, France, which has
just been completed. He says, in
letter, that there is not upon earth SO
magnificent mausoleum as that Of the
handful of dust that remains Of the
warrior who in his lifetime was the
terror of Europe. The tomb is in
part constructed Of American mar
BILE, the resting.place Of the remains
being surrounded by circle of colos-
sal figures, one of which, winged
figure, is to represent the angel Of
resurrection, who is in the consum-
nation of earth to call the mighty war
rior from his sleep, to be confronted
by the spirits of the myriads who were
slain in his sanguinary wars.

Cherokee Advocate Of the gath ult.,
says:
We have had for two weeks or more
the most intense hot weather ever ex-
perienced in this countryside Their
ncmeter few days standing in the
shade at 90 degrees. Vegetation is
burning up for the want Of rain.
But tits a matter ofgreat rejoicing,
that our country has been blessed
thus far with unusual health. No ep-
idemic through the nation-with the
exception Of the temperance fever,
which, from all that can be seen and
felt, we hope will take hold upon the
minds and consciences of our people,
until drunkenness, confusion, and muir
der will be things unknown in our
country.

TuE Day GooDs IMPoRT-The
New York Courier, in some state
ments in regard to the present i'm
mense importation of dry goods into
this country, says;
Gas compared with the first eight
months Of 1851, the general result is
an increase Of about 4t per cent for
1853, in the values thrown. upon the
market. The increase in woolens is
nearly ninety per cent; cottons 33 per
cent silks 80 per cent. In the con-
sumption of silk goods, we sec a pic
ture of the extravaganza of the times.
Twenty five millions of silks in eight
months, or thirty-sevcn millions annu-
ally, indicate a love of costly dress,
which seems to be authorized by the
unexampled prosperity of the country
These completely throw into The shade
the more plain and the cheaper arti-

which our New England factories
have arrived at great perfection.
