BILE. The air is cool enough to prevent premature
bossonlng, and at the same time it does not chill
the swelling buds. The community are to be con-
graduated upon the plump red faced apples and
the fair porty peaches, the delicate skins of whose
rosy cheeks nearly burst with rich Juice which are
to drop from the bending trees and find their way
to our markets at the proper season. How the soft
fragrant peach will tempt the lips of beauty and
how the teeth of ruthless boys will mar the Jolly
big apples And our own Catawba grapes lit to
make wine for the gods, who can forget them3
Their racy clusters, purple with generous blood

The BRIrIsH Mint AND ITS SUPPLY OF Com
Great Inconvenience (says late London paperl
has of late been experienced from the want of a
sufficient supply OF coinage, and particularly of
silver and copper. The demand for gold coin,
notwithstanding the enormous amount coined Last
year, les. TAG, 0OO,) continues great IA ever,
and the whole strength of the mint requires to be
devoted to it. Till comparatively recent time,
the largest amount of gold coin which it was con.
sdered could be turned out by the the mint was
ESQ., 900 week; at the present moment, the
quantity coined has risen to about ESQ 900
week; and yet, such is the demand, that even that
quantity appears to be insufficient to supply it.
In the month of January, during a short cessation
Of the pressure for gold coinage, a quantity of
SILVER equal to E92 900 was coined, being equal to
one nall OF the entire silver coinage of 1852 and
being more than the entire silver coinage of 1861,

GENITAL ANERIcA The Charleston Meretry,
commenting on the speech of Judge Butler, made
during the recent discussion of the Central Anne
rcan question in the Senate, says: at 10 speech
marked by the habituai moderation and practical
wisdom which our Senator has always shown in
the discussion of international affairs. 1t s a reply
to the attempt to knde national preiudces against
England in case where we have special need to
cast on such feelings, and decide the simple
dictates of good sense and polite forecast. This
whole Central American question il one of CON-
merciai advantage, and not of territorial acquis
ton, and it ia worse than idle to look upon it in
any other light. The country cannot be colonised
by England, setting altogether aside the danger
OF collision with the United States This 10 proved
by the condition of the Belize, where more than
century of occupation has resulted only in per
manent settlement of about FIVE thousand persons,
not five hundred of whom are English. We OBJ
struct instead of advancing the settlement Of this
question of inter-oc eanic communication, by mix
ing it up with those elements of national prejudice
which never looked hollow and mean az when
they left their proper arena of the stump, and mi.

The CHrRoKrE GoLD.-The Tahlequah ADVOCATE,
with much apparent satisfaction, denies the truth
OF late report OF the discovery of gold in the
Cherokee Nation. 1t admits that the Horse Creek
mines have real existence. but says there is a
difference of opinion to the nature Of their pro.
ducts. Numbers have dug, numbers are digging
and in all probability numbers will dig, until they
find out by experience that it ia vastly better and
more profitable to stay at home and dig for
than go abroad and dig for gold.

Peters church, New Kent, Of which the Rev. Mr..
Munson, a. Cambridge scholar, was the rector,
and performed the ceremony, It's believed, about
1850. Ashort time after their marriage, Colonel
and Mrs. Washington removed to Mt. Vernon,
on the Potomac, and permanently settled there.
"This union," says Sparks, "was in every re-
spect felcitous. 1t continued forty years: To
her intimate acquaiHtances and to the nation,
the character of Mr.. Washington was ever a
theme Of praise. Afable and courteous, exem-
pIary in her department. remarkable for her
deeds of charity and piety, unostentatious, and
without vanity, she adorned by her domestic vlr-
tues, the sphere of private life, and filled with
dignity every station in which she was placed.
Previous to his acquaintance with Mrs. Gusts,
Washington had been pleased with other ladies'
The author, above quoted on this point says, that
in 1856, while in New York, he was lodged and
entertained at the house Of Beverly Robinson,
between whom and himself an intimate friend
ship subsisted, which indeed continued without
change, till severed by their opposite fortunes
twenty years afterwards in the revolution. 1t
happened that Miss Mary Phillips, young Sis
ter of Mrs. Robinson, and young lady of rare
accomplishments, was an inmate of the family.
The charms Of this lady made deep impression
upon the heart Of the Virginia Colonel. He
went to Boston, returned, and was again wei
coined to the hospitality Of Mr.. Robinson. lie
fingered there till duty called him away; but he
was careful to entrust his secret to a confidential
friend, whose letters kept him Informed of every
important event. In few months, intelligence
came that rival was in the field and that the
consequences could not be answered for, if he
delayed to renew his visits to New York. Whe-
ther time, the hustle of a camp, or the scenes Of
war, had moderated his admiration, or whether
he despaired of success is not known. He never
saw the lady again till she was married to that
same rival Captain Morris, his former associate
in arms, and one of Braddock's aid-de-camps.
'IIe had before felt the influence of the tender
passion. At the age Of seventeen, he. was smit-
ten by the graces of fair one, whom he called
a low land beauty and whose praises he re-
corded in glowing strains, while wandering with
his surveyors compass among the; Allegheny
mountains. On that occasion he wrote des-
ponding letter to friend, and indicted plajrtiye
verses, but never yentured to reveal his emotion
to the lady who was unconscious of the cause
of his pains"
