A BEAUTIFUL MIND.-A beautiful mind is
like precious and prolific seed-the mother of
loveiness-the fountain of bliss-the produce
Of many treasured and inestimable flowers; no
canker can deface, nor time destroy. Even
should there be those of its early produce that
pass away, yet the source is there-the seed re-
mains to revive, to remodify-to place again
on our bosom and near our hearts, in renewed
beauty-in the same deep interest and winning
power as at first. We would gather in as the
richest possession-as the wellspring of the
purest, most abundant and enduring joys
as our support, our comfort, and the cherished
object worthy Of our highest admiration, and
we could clingto it, thanking God that it is i'm
mortal living forever.

1t is manifest that the process of settlement
is going forward most busily in the wide region
embraced in the west and northwest portion of
the Mississippi Valley, where spots which yes
terday were only broken into and cleared by the
pioneers axe, are being converted, as by the
touch of an enchanter's wand into great and
hourishing cities. Milwaukee, Madison, Drbu-
que, Iowa city, Burlington, Galena, and Chica
ga, are among the municipal wonders with
which emigrant enterprise shrewdness and indus
try have animated and redeemed to civilized
uses the recent solitary and unhumanized for
ests of the west; and the germs of hundreds of
similar seats of wealth., and art, and social re-
fnement are now being planted in the same
wilds which wise Providence obviously reserv-
ed as the theatre on which free, brave and
Christian people are destined to carve out the
noblest and grandest empire that the world shall
ever see.

The saying so often quoted, "Tle School

duced:-"Let the soldier be abroad if he will;
he can do nothing in this age. There is anoth-
parsonage abroad-a person less imposing-in
the eyes of some, perhaps, insignificant. The
school-master is abroad; and l trust to him, ARM

PROSPECTUS OF
THE L0UD0N FREE PRESS,
For 1853

Having assumed the onorous and responsible
duties of public journalists, we feel the just de-
sire to increase the circulation Of our paper,
as it will not only increase our capabilities of
doing good, but at the same time give us rea-
sonable remuneration for our labors. To ac-
complish this desirable end, we have determin-
cd to send out this Prospectus with request
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper will send US the largest
number of subscribers they possibly can. Yet
we cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate Acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertions in procuring US subscribers have
not been unnoticed by US.
We deem it unnecessary to occupy lengthy
exposition of the leading features of the FREE
PRESS. It's political complexion is uncompro-
misingly WHIG-but we are truly glad that the
evil times of unrelenting political warfare has
for q time at least ceased, and those so long and
so recently in antagonistic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory Of the land. We
look to the promotion of the interests fAgricul-
ture, of Manufactures and of Commerce, as
being by far more important to the improve
ment of the country, than any political Issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided. These great interests shall have our
warmest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse public sentiment to the Importance of
industrial progressed enriching our fields, of
beautifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
As to the merits of the FREE PREss it is for
the public to judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish paper
worthy of public patronage. 1t is filed with
readable matter--contaising the latest Foreign
and Domestic News-full and impartial quota
tions of the Produce Markets of Loudon, Au-
gusta, Savannah, Macon, Charleston, and Nash
Vile, with occasional quotations from other i'm
portant points--together with the prices and
number of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season---also the prices of Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders a broad and correct basis of judgement in
regard to this important article of trade. In
n word, our paper is for the business men Of
East Tennessee.
We are anxious to increase our circulation
and have determined to offer the FREE PRESS
at greatly reduced prices to Clubs-money to
oncompanv the names as follows

seen from the following figures:

The Times adds, ''in spite of Australian gold
the United States is still the country in which
the greater part of emigrants seek for their new
home. Nearly all the Irish and most of the
Germans sailed for that destination, lured by
the triple advantages of short voyage,
small passage money, and a reunion, on arrival,
with numbers of their fellow countrymen." 1t
is, further remarked as a novel and curious cir
cumstance in connection with the emigration of
last year, that about thirty-one thousand six
hundred Germans sailed from Liverpool in
preference to embarking at Hamburg, Bremen,
Rotterdam, or Antwerp.
1t is very evident that both from natural in
crease at home and accessions from abroad, the
population of the Union is augmenting at an
amazing rate, and it is of no little interest to
inquire how this vast rising tide of humanity is
flowing and diSposing itself. 1t has been re-
Gently calculated that the centre of the Repub
lie, as regards distribution of population, is Just
west of the Ohio river, in Ohio. Forty years
ago the central point was fixed in northern
Pennsylvania near the meridian of Washing
ton. it subsequently shifted into the edge Of
Virginia, inclining towards the south; it after
wards passed up north, into this State; in 1910
it moved little east. of Marietta, Ohio, and in
1850, slightly to the west of the river Ohio. It's
course is represented, by those who appear to
have watched it carefully through its various
changes, to be now setting towards Dayton, ul-
timately perhaps to be established near the
mouth of the Missouri. The following table

The EXODUS FROM IRELAND TO ANERICA-The
Galway Packet Of Saturday, the 18th ult, gives
the subjoined remarkable statement in reference
TO the progress Of emigration from that quarter:
The rush of emigration still continues una
bated. Every American Post brings its supply
of remitances, upon the receipt of which crowds
of enigrants hurry away A communication
by the Post does net receive a reply more gen.
orally than letter from an Irish emigrant in
America is followed by the immediate depart
ure of one, two, three, ar more of the relations
at home. The peculiarly of this years exodus
consists in fact that those who compose it are
not broken down tenants, terrified by the press
ure of poor rates and the fears of future fam
inc, or driven to despair by the means of
harsh landlord and the hightful visions of bailifs
and crowbars who fly to emigration as their last
desperate resource; but they are all persons
well enough to do in the world, whom the sue
cess of their friends in a strange land stimulates
to follow them. If one may Judge by the nu-
merous instances which have come under our
notice, the spell that bound the Irish peasant
to his native soil is now broken, and he is as
ready to break every tie which attached him to
his home, and to 60 forth in search Of adven-
ture as a Scotchman or an Arab of the desert.
A most remarkable instance of this change of
feeling and of altered circumstances of emigra-
tion has been afforded this very day in an ex-
tensive emigration which has taken place from
the islands of Arran. Seven years ago, even
while famine scared them from a wretched
home, to part from their native islands would
have been a second death to these primitive and
secluded people. Now when they are in COM
parative afluence. able to satisfy all their mod
crate wants in a home endeared by the regard
of kindred, aud allowed by many sacred tradi-
tions, departure to a distant land causes them
little or no emotion. To leave their friends at
home and kindred here forever apparently gives
ithem as little concern as it would have afforded
them few years ago to leave their isolated
shores for d fair in Galway, where they possibly
might be detained two or three days by some
change in the weather. Some thirty or forty of
them who have left this town to-day for Liver
pool, on their passage to America, seemed quite
unconcerned at their expatriation. They were
fine young men and women-admirable speci-
mems Of the Irish peasant before famine had

the field on which they are to be worked out Is
broad and ample enough; and it is a significant
fact that the shores of both oceans are already
embraced within the actual limits of the Con-
federacy The outposts of American freedom
are thus early established as wide asunder as
the Atlantic and Pacific tides would permit
them to be placed, and with all the vast domain
enclosed by them thus secured, we may conf
dently wait the purpose of God to crowd that
magnificent expanse of territory with nation
whose laws and institutions, based upon the
principles of justice and philanthropy, will ad-
vance man to the highest point of civil happl-
ness of which, in his present state, he is capa..
ble, and furnish the best social illustration of
the Divine wisdom and goodness.-Paiadelphia

the general remark that the Fair was highly cTed-

exhibition and the attendancesurpasSe the expec-

was occupied principally by the address OF Judge
Conrad and the awarding of premiums, full list
of which was read to the audience. We hardly
know in what terms to allude to the address of
.Jndge Conrad, or in what language we can ex-
nress the unanimous and marked appreciation of
the entire audience. The address was well timed,
appropriate and pertinent, fully sustaining the
renutation of the speaker, and more than respond
ing to the exalted expectation Of the audience.
Some portions ofthe addtesS were SurpaSSinglye l-
oouent, and when the speaker alluded to the sage
of Ashland as farmer, he most feelingly and
beautifully touched a cord which will ever find a
response in the hearts ofthe citizens of Wheeling.
The address was wholly prepared after ten o'clock
of the night preceding its delivery, as the speaker
from some misapplehension on the part OF the COM
mittee, was not apprlsed of the part he was ex-
nected 10 perform until that time; and had then TO
write out the entire address. All were gratifedr
and more than gratied with the result, and the ad-
dress of yesterday evening will long be remem-
bsred by the large auditory present. as one of the
most gratifying of the many pleasing incidents oil
