lLiBERA.-Last week the ship Banshee cleared
at Norfolk for Monroyia, taking out two hundred
and niuety-six eolo1ed enigrants FL Liberia, of
whom twenty four will be landed at Cape Palmas
and the remainder at Monroyia. They are from
Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia.
Another packet load of emigrants will leave Sa-
yonpah, Ca, on the 18th of December, for Liberia.
Much has been done this for the great cause
of African colonization, and we doubt not that
the renewed impulse thus given, will be followed
up by very beneficial results among our fee color
ed population.
II the educated free colored people of theporth-
ern States could be induced to emigrate to Liberia
in large numbers, at the present time, it would be
of great advantage TO that country. Most of the
letters lately received from the republic state that
many of the planters and others are growing
wealthy by attention to their various pursuits, while
ali are prosperous and happy in high degree
Yet thousands here areAsitiing earn precarious
living by any sort of mental occupation sooner
than go thither. Capital is far more valuable in
Liberia than with-us, on account Of its scarcity;
and thedemand or IT to make all sorts of improve
ments. This is aconsideTation to which the atten-
ton of colored persons of large ought to be
tlirected.-N. Amtriean. s3fE

ApvENrURIs CT PRESIDENT ELECT
When Gen Pierce was IN New York on his
way to Washington, like a sensible man, he
took special pains to shun the crowd Of Hal
terers and office seekers. The Astor was
,hrongcd with them, aud the New York Herald
says:
Instead of holding parley with this crowd,
the General privately made his exit, viii his
faithful attendant, Sergeant O'Neil, the pur-
pose Of visiting the widow of the late General
Worth, who is at present staying on Governor 5
/ sland. He belonged to General Worth's divl,
sion, and knew INN we'll, and this visit does
honor to the soldier and the man. Fortunately
Gen. Pierce's person was not known, and he
arrived quietly at the Battery, where he took
brat for the island; but it was SO small that 1t
was very nearly being upset by the swell OF the
SEA, aud the President elect of the United States
had narrow escape of being drowned There
was another difficulty to be encnunted-the
sentry would not allow the General to land on
the island, as he was not provided with an order,
and presented his bayonet in menancing man
ner, until he knew who his visitor was, when he
was astonished beyond measure, never dreaming
that the President would come in that plain,
unosta ntatious manner.

OPENING OF NAVIGATION

Should the present remarkably fine weather
continue much longer, we may expect the earli-
est resumption of navigation that has ever been
known to our citizens is this latitude. From
the accounts furnished US by our exchanges both
east and South, an unusually early business
season is looked for, and consequently brisk
time of it, without being too much crowded.
Already we are in possession of letters inform
ing US Of extensive preparations 10 visit us dur
ing the ensuing spring and summer, and perhaps
to settle amongst us. No town in the North .
West, and no State, are attracting at this time
more attention from abroad, than our own Du-
buque and Iowa. Our citizens may confidently
look forward to a season Of unexampled growtt
and prosperity; in that which is now dawning
upon us.

ENeLAsD's HuMAslY.-lt is generally
know that savages were employed by the king
of England, George ILL.,, and paid at SO much
per scalp of man, woman and child during our
revolutionary war. A few items from this ter
rble trace in human flesh may perhaps interest
some of our readers, and show them how this
paternal king sirove to crush out the noble
spirit Of independence of our early heroes
Here is list of number of packages that were
sent by one James Boyd, from Captain Craw-
ford to the Governor of Canada, Col. Haldman.
These packages of sculps were found among
the baggage Of the English army after the de-
feat of Burgoyne, cured and dried, with Indian
marks upon them. The latter accompanying
them read thus:
"Package l, Containing forty three scalps Of
Congress soldiers killed in different skirmishes,
stretched on black hoops four inches in diam-
eter.
Pack 2, Containing ninety eight farmers,
scalps, killed in their houses red hoops, with
figure of hoe painted on each to denote their
occupation.
Pack ;, Containing ninety-seven farmers
scalps on rcd hoops, to show they were killed in
the fields.
Pack 4, Containing one hundred and two
farmers scalps, eighteen Of them marked with
yellow flames, to signify that they were burned
alive.
Pack 5, Containing lightweight scalps of
women, hair long and braided, to show that they
were mothers.
Pack 6, Containing one hundred and ninety
three scalps of boys Of various ages, on small
green hoops.
Pack z, Two hundred and eleven girls
scalps, big and little ones, on small yellow
hoops"
Such was the stuff OF which English royalists
were made, in the s'days which tried mems
souls. Il Boston Post.

THE Ericsson OFF FOR NoRFoLK-The
caloric ship Ericsson goes to sea this morning
Her commander has received orders to make a
short cruise, the more thoroughly to test her en-
gines, the sea qualities of the ship, &c.-leav-
ing it directionary with him whether to proceed
at once to Norfolk, or SO proIong his cruise as
to reach that port week hence. Besides the
persons Immediately interested (Capt. Sands,
U. s. N. will go out in her. On her arrival
she will be inspected by the Secretary Of the
Navy.
We learn that more than four hundred appli-
cution have been made from different parts of
the country for engines to be built on the E-cs
son principle. 1t being quite impossible at pre-
sent for the inventor to prepare the drawings
for this large number from which to build them,
it is his intention to have stereotype plates pre-
pared from which any number Of copies can be
taken. Five engines are now in process Of con-
s,ruction on this plan, varying from ten to ff
teen horse power. By April next the business
is expected TO proceed with greater rapi.
dity.
No particular privileges have been grasted
in any quarter, as it is not the design Of Mr.
Ericsson to establish a monopoly, but to throw
open to the world the benefits which his inven.
ton is supposed to confer.-Journal Of Com.

MOTIVE POWER WITHOUT FUEL.-Among
many wonderful discoveries of the age, the &c
noa correspondent of the Newark Advertiser
notes that complete revolution in the means of
steam navigation and locomotion, is anticipated
from recent invention, by DIR. Carosio, of that
city. He has it is said, succeeded in construc
ting an apparatus for the decomposition of wa
ter by electro magnetism, which will introduce
the gases, thus generated into the engine, in a
way to save all the expense Of fuel His in
vention has been approved be Swans and prac.
teal engineers, and company has subscribed
the means of giving it full experiment. Means
have also been adopted to secure patents in all
other countries. Mr.. J. B. Musko, a respec-
table merchant of Genoa, has started for the
United States, with letter, from our Minister. at
Turin, to the heads of the Patent Office at
