OUR NEGLECT OF THE CAPABILITIES OF
BRrcK.-Much of the architecture in Italy
serves to force upon consideration our ig-
norant neglect Of the real use of Jrick. You
may there see the most varied and beautiful
inventions expressed in this material
mouldings, tracery, flowers, figures, every
where varied, ,and showing visibly the move
ment of the hand aud the feeling of the
heart. One would be clever to discover a
single expression or elevated effort in a
whole mile of the brick or compo-ironted
houses Of our time The Builder.

more Patriot truly says; "Not so long as
the constitution stands exposed to the Van
dal assaults of our modern innoyators-not
so long as the bassest pandering of dema-
rogism calls for antidotes and purgation, at

Truth is, in my opinion the greatest di-
vinity that nature has manifested to man,
and that to which it accords the greatest
power. Thus, although it may be combat
ted by all the world, and though all the
seeming probabilities, in certain crcum-
stances, unite with fraud against 1t, it insin-
uates,itself, know not how, in the minds OF
men; and soon, by sudden effort, it re-
veals oil its strength; soon, after having
been for a long time obscured by thick
darkness, it finishes by disengaging itself
and triumphs over falsehood. -PolybiHs.

HEALTH or NArcHEz, MIss.-During the
four days ending the LIST inst, there were
% yellow fever deaths, and it was supposed
the disease was slightly abating. A letter
from that town says:
There are not four hundred people in
town including men, women, children and
negroes. The stores are all closed, and ev-
ery one who could get away has gone to
Washington, about SIX miles back OF the
town. There is no mayor in town, and
only two of the aldermen to be found. A
person can walk the maine street OF the
city, in the middle of the day, and notmee'

THE FALL OF TABLE Rock. We have
conversed with gentleman who, with his
wife, was, few minutes before it fell, on
the extreme projecting point OF the Table
Rock, looking over at portion OF the shale
of the rock that had fallen about o'clock
that morning Our informant had passed
from Table Rock to the ferry, and was a
bout midway across the river when the rock
fell, with noise resembling "a broad,ide
from frigate," completely obstructing the
pathway that leads under the great sheet OF
water. The fallen mass is of that magni-
tude that it is supposed no effort will be
made to throw it in to the river. Indeed
the prevailing sentiment at the Falls was
decidedly against its removal, as it is evident
to every one that knows the locality, that
there has at all times been hazard in going
under the sheet. Three masses fell, first
the shale, then the large portion OF table
rock, and in few minutes after its small
remainder. There was no person under the
sheet of water when the rock fell, but sew
eral persons were dressing for the expedi'
ton ~. Y. COur.

my son, consign thee to God, and we shall
not meet again till the day of judgment.
The youth went away, and the party he
travelled with was assaulted by robbers. -
One fellow asked the boy what he had,
aud he said, "Forty dinars are sewed up
in my garments" He laughed, thinking he
tested. Another asked him the same ques-
ton and received the same answer.
At last the chief called him, and nsked
him the same question, and he said, al have
told two ofyour people already that | have
forty dinars sewed up in my clothes.
He ordered the clothes to be ripped OPEN
and found the money.
"And how came you to tell OF this!
asked the chief.

never to tell lie."
"Child,' said the robber, cart thou sc
mindful of thy duty of thy mother at thy
years, and am insensible at my age Of the
duty owe to God! Give me thy hand that
may swear repentance on it," He did so
and his followers were struck with the
scene.
.You have been our leader in guilt" said
they TO the chief, "be the same in the patti
of virtue;" and they instantly made restitu

FALSE TELEG RAPHIc REPORTS. The Buff
fulo Commercial says:-A report reached
town last evening, having emanated from
some of the outsiders in New York, that
the Halifax steamer was in, and brought in
telligence of the outbreak of hostilities in
Europe, and Of the consequent rapid rise of
breadstuffs. On The strength of this idle
rumor an excited feeling sprung up and sew
eral sales of wheat were made, some Of them
at higher figures than had prevailed during
the day. This morning the report was dis
covered to be unfounded, and card was is
sued by Mr.. d, H. Craig, the New York
A gent of the N. Y. Associated Press, at au
early hour, cautioning the public against the
false rumor. The mischief, as usual, origin
ated with those parties at the East who can
only procure intelligence by stealing it, and
whose reports are never reliable.

the following:

distress and complaint among the poor. An
order has likewise been issued for raising an
army for frontier defence to amount to nine
ty-one thousand men. All men able to
bear arms are remorselessly pressed in the
service. His designs against the United
States are foreshadowed in the late decree
of Santa Anna, which enjoins all who have
suffered from Indian depredations, to pre-
sent their claims at the city OF Mexico. He
intends TO demand restitution under the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This order
has given rise to immense fraud. Many

law is enforced in some places.

GEN. HrSroN. noticed last even
snq that Gen. o. Hinton had been arrested
In California. The California papers have
,he following particulars concerning his ar
rest:
"On Moday, 25th July, says the Star,
Samuel G.. Gordon, who has Oeen resident
in Los Angles short time, was arrested Oy
virtue of the warrant Of Hon. Benjamin w.
Haves, District Judge of this District, upon
affidavit of d. w. Reinhat charged with
having robbed the U. S. Mail in lSl9 or
1850, within the Ohio Judicial District OF
tbe limited States. The examination of the
case was concluded on Tuesday evening,
and the opinion Of the Judge given on Wed
nesday morning, committing the defendant
to the Sheriff Of Los Angeles County for
three months, to await a warrant from the
II. S. District Judge, of California, for his
removable Ohio for trial. The defend
ants real name is o. Hinton. According to
his statement he was once arrested in ONO
on this charge, held to bail in the sum OF
$4,000, and subsequently discharged under
MOLE pros. entered by the U. 3. District
Attorney of Ohio.
La reference to report in the newspapers
that he had lodged the Marshal Of Califor-
mia, he says that the Marshal Of Ohio, COM
ing to California in pursuit of some offend
ers, made use of the name of .. Hinton, IN
order to throw them off their guard, and that
"a subseauent article in the newspapers gave
this as the reason. He claims that the
charge in this instance is made against hin
because he would not pay hush money, ant
that the same thing was attempted to o'
done at Portland.

There is food for reflection, in looking
from the present to the period when this

a small sized sheet, not as large as many o.

pers, the successors Of this have gradually
grown to dalies of the first class. A news
paper is typical Of the wants and resource:
Of a people. Much has been sacrificed by
the conductors of the Press in making j
what it is, and much is due them from tht
people for their untiring zeal and energy;
far greater amount than will ever be real
lied from public gratitude or the most liber
al future patronage.
