THE POST.
Athens, Friday, Oct. I. 1853.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 80.
The N. Y. Herald publishes a synopsis of
Secretary Marcy's forthcoming letter. He
maintains that Kosta was seized within the
nationality of the United States, and that
Capt. Ingraham's interference was proper
He refuses to give consent to kosta's being
given up to the Austrian consul at Smyrna,
and insists that Austria shall place them in
the same condition as when he was arrested.

TO MISS S-, OF McN

Az AAoo OC MCuANN.
As borne on the wings Of time
An idle mOmentcaine;
1t brought to me in rhyme,
A subject for my pen.
1t told Of q 'kerchief lost
Within whose folds contain'd,
Ny merry heart emboss'd,
Three letters Of q name.
Initials wrought by hands
Whose lines I'd love to trace;
But they're in other lands,
And other hands embrace.
The 'kerchief W which you found
You had no right to claim,
Nor what it wrapd around
The right Of both's the same.
The former you return,
With many thanks for use,
And thus l came to learn
What let its treas sure loose.
You have it, Miss, I deem,
tAnd Of honor you've no lack,)
Then, if you havn't stole it,
Why, darn it, bring it back.
Or, if you like it, keepit,
(As The matters not much kno,cn,)
And we'll make it all secret
II you'H send, in lieu, your oun.

:B- Some philosopher in North Carolina,
who has been closely watching the comet
which for sometime has been startling our
people, has calculated to certainty that it
must strike this earth. Indeed he has indi-
Gated the day and hour when the great ca
tastrophe will occur. This is awful to think
of, especially as the comet is represented TO
be 100000 times larger than the earth, not
including its tail. What is to become Of our
little contemplate globe in such n smash !!
Who knows but that those earthquakes
which have recently disturbed our nerves,
were the effect Of the comets humping up
against our globe, preliminary to the final
clash, when curling its fiery tail into the air,
it shall rush head foremost against the earth
and pitch it into eternity!

"KsowIsc BEAss.'-This is an oft.quot.
cd phrase, of the origin and exact meaning
of which we never had an idea till we met
with the following exposition. As here ex-
planned, the phrase is one Of profound signi-
icancc-ful Of meaning MS an egg is Of
meat:-But those Lima beans, they are stu
dy, they set me thinking. See how they
wind and wind round the poles, creeping up
higher and higher every time till they have
reached the top. Then they fairly laugh
with blossoms and begin to fill their pockets,
for shortness called pods. Mind you they
always turn round the poles one way, and
that is towards the sun: they love to look in
to his face. Is not that cunning! And now,
does it make you think of something you
have seen or heard of! 1t does US. We have
looked at the climbing things by the hour to-
gether, and never could for the life of us
help being reminded of the Politicians. They
wriggle up by the help of some man or par
ty-up, up; and when they have once fairly
got hold, it is almost impossible to shake
them off, stop their growth, or prevent the
filling Of their pockets. If they cling around
dead body, it is little matter; but their EN-
brace Of living one is pretty sure TO be ia
tai. Hence, to know beans, is to rise by
twisting and turning on other peoples shoul
dcrs, often at their expense, to u situation
where they can afford to dcspisc the means
of their promotion, and exclusively consult
their own advantage"

Hocs--rHE CRops-PRIcEs.-Wcclip the
following remarks from the Cincinnati Ga
zette:
We have, in accordance with our custom, en-
the Western States, reliable information
with reference to the crops and other matters
connected with the Agricultural interests OF
the country. From the adyiccs 50 far rccciv.
ed, we draw the following conclusions
What has proved fair average crop, both us
regards quantity and quality: and the stocks
now in the country, including the surplus
from previous years, are large, and will prove
equal TO any demand that is at all likely to
be expected. Oats in this section were light,
while in other places, especially farther West,
the crops were heavy. Taking the whole
West, the yield may be set down at two
thirds Of an average crop. The yield of Bar
ley was heavy. Potatoes two.thirds of u
crop. Hay light in Ohio, Kentucky, and u
great portion Of Indiana, and the surplus for
export will be smaller than usual. Corn
looks exceedingly well, and with favorable
fall, the yield will be from full average to
One.tOurth excess. In some places the Weld
per acre will be below an average, but in al-
most every section there was an increased
breadth of land planted. Of Hogs the sup.
ply is from Onc.tourth to one.third greater
than last year. The quality is, in some places
better and in Others not so good as at this
time last season; but taken altogether, it may
be regarded as fair average. Beef Cattle
are every where scarce, dear, and in demand,
and there cannot, in any event, be nm average
supply. farmers are increasing their stock
as fast as possible, but it will be three years
before we may expect the usual supply Of
Becves.

o. OF the fluctuations in the Money and
Produce markets, and of the reliance which is
felt in England, upon the United States, as n
grain producer, and rs consumer, the Lon.
don Spectator, of the Sd ult., says: We have
our own difficulty to contend with. Oui har.
vest is calculated to be something under the
average; and as unquestionably IN enlarged
amount of means is in the hands of the pco-
pie, the demand will be in excess on behalf
of previous years with shorter supply at
home. For other supplies VIC calculate II
considerable degree, no doubt, upon America;
and here our difficulty tends to correct their
difficulty; in other words, the exchange which
they have in some degree anticipated will be
proportionably balanced by their exports OF
grain. This is but one illustration of the cf.
tccts of free trade, which enable fluctuations
of one country to correct those Of another

AIR LINES.
THE MOVEMENTS OF THE WORLD.

The apparent course Of the sun is from
East to West. The revolutions Of the earth
are from West to East. The tides of the
ocean roll round the globe from East to West
The great trade winds take the same course,
or directly the reverse. When Columbus set
his little bark upon the waters to find the
balance Of the world, he set his Prov nearly
due West.
The commercial circulation is from East to
West, and from West to East. The great
tide Of emigration, now swelling and surging
over this globe rolls undeviatingly from Fast
to West All the active circulation Of the
world has its general circulation from East
to West, and from West to East. The gen.
era direction of our steamships, our CONNER.
cial navy. and that Of all other nations, is
over oceans and seas, still East to West, or
meeting the returning tide, from West to
East. The continent Of North America lies
directly in the pathway Of this great worlds
circulation. 1t must be crossed. Nothing
can stop this Eastern and Western flood
Hence our great lines of Railway, the main
trunks lie across the continent. The Pacific
Railroad, now rapidly tending to fixed fact,
is but carrying out this great involuntary
movement of the World. And direct lines
are now called for from East to West and
the reverse. Hence the Strengthening of old
lines and the establishing of new ones. And
here comes the inevitable necessity of "Air
Lines" The most direct course between any
two points of this great Eastern and Western
flood will be sought, will be constructed, and
will be successful. Once it was thought that
Railroad might take zig-zag, snake-lke
direction, from city to city, from one village
to another, and all was right, because it nc
commodatcd somcbody. The counter, dcvi.
GUS rambling lines, are all useful, all wanted,
and will repay in part for their construction.
But the one course, the air lines tending from
East to West will move this great food of
humanity and matter on its course around the
world, and become the arteries of the globe.
We rejoice, therefore, when We hear of Air
Lines of Railroads. Not that other lines are
to be injured, for this will not be the case,
but that greater ends, and greater objects are
to be accomplished, by direct and straight
lines.
