whatever expansion time and progress may give it,
continue more and more deeply rooted in the love

That wise economy, which Is as far removed
from parsimony as from corrupt and corrupting ex-
tray agance--that single regard for the public good
which will frown upon all attempts to approach
the Treasury with insdous projects of private in
terest cloaked under public pretexts,-that sound
fiscal administration, which, in the legislative de-
partment, guards against the dangerous tempta-
tons incident to overfiowing revenue, and in the
executive, maintains an unslecping watchfulness
against the tendency of all national expenditure
to extravagance,-while they are admitted ele-
mentary political duties, may, trust, be deemed
as properly adverted to and urged, in view of the
more Impressive sense of that necessity, which is
directly suggested by the considerations now pre-
sented
Since the adjournment of Congress, the Vice
President of the United States has passed from the
scenes of earth, without having entered upon the
duties of the station to which he had been called
by the voice of his countrymen. Having occupied,
almost continuously, for more than thirty years a
seat in one the other of the two Houses of Con-
gress and having by his singular purity and wis
DOM secured unbounded confidence and universal
respect, his failing health was watched by the ma
ton with painful socitude His loss to the country,
under all circumstances, has been justly regarded
as irreparable
| In compliance with the act of Congress of March
q 1853, the oath of Office was administered to him
on the oath that month"; at Ariadne estate near Ma
tanzas, in the Island of Cuba; but his strength
gradually declined, and was hardly sufficient to en-
able him to return TO his home in Alabama, where,
on the eighteenth day of April, in the most calm
and peaceful way, his long and eminently useful
career was terminated
| Entertaining unlimited confidence IN your intel
ligent and patriotic devotion to the public interest,
and being conscious of no motives on my part
which are not inseparable from the honor and adj
vancement of my country, hope 1t may be my
privilege to deserve and secure not only your cor
dial cooperation in great public measures but al
those relations of mutual confidence and regard,
which it is always desirable to cultivate between
members of coordinate branches of the Govern
ment.

LAST TRIP--The Empire left our docks on
Sunday, 18th inst, for the last time this year.
Up to that day the weather had beyond n pre-
cedent continued favorable for the purposes of
navigation. The other river boats and also the
vessels, had laid up some days previously.

ARRIVAL OF WINTER.-On Monday we began
TO experience appropriate weather for De-
cember. 1t began to be comfortably cold on
that day, and before night snow commenced
falling in earnest. Rude blasts have now sue
ceeded the spring like atmosphere that prevailed
during the first half of the month, and to all ap-
pearances winter has fairly set in. The exceed
ly mild weather, which until within few days
had continued for long time without Interrupt
ton, is well worthy of having place on record.
After thoroughly taxing " the memory of the
oldest nhabitant" we have become satisfied
that the like was never before known at the
same season of the year, in Ottawa county, since
its occupation by white men.

ANOTHER WARYING.-A fire broke out on
Sunday afternoon in Mr. FuLToN's bake shop,
in rear of Irving Hall, and nearly destroyed the
buildings and contents. 1t was occasioned by
carelessness, in leaving a large fire in the fire
place while gone to supper. Its close proximity
to the rear of Irving Hall and the wooden build
ings adjoining, in case of favorable wind
would have made it dangerous customer TO
control--as it was quite still at the time, and
water convenient it was soon got under We

stances when fire breaks out--and when we

eS5" The Presidents Message has already
doubtless, fallen within the reach of the majority
ofour readers. Many of the copies, however, now
circulating in the North West, having been pub
lished as received by telegraph, are found to be
shockiDgly Incorrect, so much so as to be in
places almost unintelgbe. AS the copy which
we give this week is correct one, we presume
none will regret its insertion even at this late
day in our paper. The Message is well receiv-
ed throughout the country and is entitled to
careful and deliberate perusal by every citizen.
1t is brief, dignifed, free from all osentatious
parade, and may certainly be put down as one
of the abcst documents that has ever emanated
from the executive department.

TOBACCO CROP OF MARYLAND.-The
Patriot publishes the following communi-
cation from gentleman recently returned
from a tour through several tobacco grow
ing counties of Maryland:
Having very recently returned from bu-
siness tour through portions Of Anne Arun-
del, Prince Georges, Charles, ST. Msry's
and Calvert counties, am enabled thereby
to give description Of the prospects of the
growing crops of tobacco and corn, SHE
staples of these coun,ies.'
The tobacco crop generally presented to
my view most G loomy prospec, for good
or even tolerably good one-no! third of
the average quantity having been planted
in time to ripen before the time for frost,
and not over two-,hirds of an average crop
having been planted in aI-assuming the
average to have been for the last ten years
$4,000 hhds. Of Maryland. The lsrges,
proportion Of what is now growing was
planted between the ooh July and 10Th
August, and is consequently very small, and
cannot under the most favorable circums,an-
ces ripen before biting frosls generally
take place-so that, in my opinion, not over
10000 hbds. in all can be grown in Mary.
land this year. Indeed, the prospect for a
good and full crop is worse than have ev-
er seen it. 1t is true that some few plan
tiers have very fine and large crops, but
they are few, while many have planted not
a third Of their usual planting, and vei pa-
ny not over lwo-!hirds. Nor is this state
Of tobacco peculiar to these counties, but it
is even worse in The western counties Of this
State, as have been informed by good au-
,hority, and fully as bad in all the tobacco
growing States. In view of these facts, and
also that the stocks Of tobacco on hand here
and in Europe being small, and the home
consumption increasing annually, ] am full
ly convinced that the prices for this staple
must advance considerably within the next
six or eight weeks.
The crop of growing corn was threaten
ed with shortness by the drought in June,
but the rains in July prevented it, and now
it is looking very prosperous and promis cs
full average yield.

ANIMALcULEs IN WATER-The idea
entertained by mos. persons, that all water,
whether found in springs, wells, brooks,
ponds, OF cisterns, or even fresh rain wa
ter is filled with living creatures, is, as far
as the microscope enables US TO ascertain
wilhou. foundation. Water is compound
of Two gases-hydrogen and oxygen-and
the existence Of anmalcules in it is alto
ge,her dependent on certain causes, princi-
pslly on its contact with vegetable matter );
thus, if you take bowl of water, end place
a handful of hay or other vegetable matter
in it, in few days the top will be covered
with scum, which, by putting small
quantity under the microscope, will be
found to be mass of animslcules, but is
only Of The lower order, most Of them be-
ing the monads; the smallest of this class
being so minute tha. ninety millions can
swim about in one drop.

LOUISVILLE TOBACCO MARKET The
Louisville Courier Price Current of the 18Th
instant says:
Tobacco continues 10 absorb more atten-
lion than any other article of produce or
traffic, and all accounts tend to confirm the
of,-repea,ed assertion that the growing crops
will be very short ones. In very many to-
bacco growing regions less than half crop
will be realized, and owing to the late plant
ing, or rather re-planting will fall shor, in
quantity, and all concur in the opinion that
the qualify will be inferior. General expe-
rience has concusively shown that but very
little good tobacco can be mstured from the
plants set out after the 2Oth of July, with
the most favorable weather in the Fall, and
i, is we'll known that throughout the mos,
extensive tobacco regi ions in this State, as
we'll as Tennessee and Virginia, that most
Of the second planting was done after that
period. An erroneous impression has been
created by the last circular Of New Y ork
mercantile and tobacco agency, which re-
presents the crops throughout Missouri in
a fourishing condition, larger than hereto
fore, and the planting more general. From
the tenor of numerous letters, we have seen
from Missouri, exactly the reverse appears
to be the facts in the case The farmers in
Missouri had the same wbacks expert
enced here early in the season, which has
undoubtedly shortened the crops, in addi-
ton 10 which it is well established fact
that tobacco growers have abandoned their
crops, and either engaged in growing stock,
or driving it off to California. Stock rails
ing in Missouri has been found TO be more
profitable and less trouble than growing to-
bacco, so that the farmers in many sections
have turned their attention altogether to
rearing stock for the California market
