0~E~ We had the pleasure of hearing Mr.. E.
Hosford's Juvenile singing class; few evenings
since, and we must say that we were never more
highly pleased with the success of any teacher,
in short time. We consider MIR. Hosford
one of the best teachers in his profession. Mr..
H. is teaching the present class at the low rate
of one dollar per scholar He has very large
class, but we wonder at his teaching for that
small sum under any circumstances. We un-
derstand that his usual price is five dollars-
We hope Mr.. Hos(ord will give a concert at
the close of his present term and we have no
doubt that it would meet the wishes of a large
portion of our citizens Who would not will
ingly pay four bits to hear the sweet voices of
hundred little girls, all Ginning together in per-
feet harmony?
c. Since the above was in type, we learn
that Mr.. Hosford will give Concert on next
Friday night We have no doubt it will be
fine treat and hope that there will be large
turn out. 1t will not be hum BUG

uncle Tom,s CABIN.

On first page will be found an article from the
British Army Dispatch, in relation to Uncle
Toms Cabin, and the Duchesses of England, who
have made such demonstrations of philanthropy,
by uniting in an appeal to the women of Amer
lea to league themselves together, for the pur-
pose of breaking down the Southern Institutions.
But it seems that they receive but little encour-
agement from the press of England. The Lon
don Times speaks of it in the same tone that the
Despatch does. Misery can never be seen at
home, but always at distance. Like row of
pillars or posts, when beheld from one end,
those nearest seem to be few and scattering, but
as the eye traces them along, they appear closer
and closer, until it appears to be one solid
column.
Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe is receiving blows
aqnarter that will tear from her laurel wreath
many green gem,-and she who now holds
thousands of silly credulous souls spelbound
and amazed before Uncle Toms Cabin, will ere
long vanish from public wonder and admiration
like the glimmering star before the torch of day

For 10 the night, unseen, single warrior
In sombre harness mailed,
Dreaded or man, and surnamod the Destroyer,
TIE rampant wall has scaled,
He passed into the chamber Of The sleeper,
The dark and silent room
And as he entered, darker grew and deeper
The silence and the gloom.
He did not pause to parley Or dissemble,
But smotc the Warden hoar;
All what blow that made an England trcm-
bic
And groan from shore TO shore.
Meanwhile, without, the surly cannon waited,
The sun rose bright o'erbead
Nothing in Natures aspect intimatod
That great man was dead

- We have received the address
of the committee, for the Southwestern
States, Of the New York Crystal Palace,
to the citizens of Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and TenneS-
see; which we will publish next week.
1t is time our people were beginning
TO prepare for the Worlds Fair, which
will open IN New York on the I'd OF
May next. Shall not Mississippi be fully
represented there? Have we no inge-
nious and enterprizing citizens in our
State to contend for the prizes? We
have the individuals, but unless they
put in for the prize, the world will not
believe it! Planters, Mechanics and
Scholars, prepare something for the
Worlds Fair.

Last week we expressed the belief that the
present practice, by many Of the papers Of the
State, hoisting the name of some man or men
before the sitting Of the Convention, and claim
ings and even insisting upon the nomination oil
the men of their choice by the convention, was
not calculated to benefit the party any, but on
the contrary to injure it. We are still of the
same opinion, notwithstanding it has not met
with the appreciation of some of our cotempo-
raries. But our objection is not to discussing
the merits and fitness of men for office, but to
making pre-nominations, which is followed by
positive instructions to the delegates sent to
the Convention to support particular men at all
hazards. We have seen conventions broken up
from this very cause. We would willingly see
the press canvass the merits and pretentions OF
ever aspirant, if done for the purpose of infor-
nation and the good of the party; and not from
personal considerations. We are aware that
this has not been the. practice of all the press,
and our remarks were not calculated to extend to
any others than those who do SO.

the earliest moment consistent with The nation

This is the title of new monthly publication
just commenced in this city, protesting to be for
the elucidation OF the doctrines of the Latter
Day Saints, or Mormons, as they are more gen.
orally called. The editor is Mr.. Orson Pratt, a
name pretty well known in connexion with this
sect.
The first number opens with prospectus set
ting forth the objects Of the periodical, and ex
pressing hope that the President elect, Mem
bers of Congress, Heads of Departments of the
National Government, Governors and Legisla-
tive Assemblies of the various States, the Min
listers of every denomination, and all the inhab-
itants of this great Republic, will patronize it.
The prospectus is followed by letter OF APP
polntment, signed by Brigham Young, Heber C.
Kimball, and William Richards, certifying that
Professor Orson Pratt one of the Apostles of the
Church of Latter Day Saints, has been appointed
by them, with the sanction of a special confer
ence convened in Salt Lake City, on the 28th
of August last, to preside over the affairs of the
church throughout the United States and the
British Provinces in North America. This let
ter is contained in general epistle from ''Broth-
Pratt as he is called, to the Saints scattered
throughout the countries mentioned.
Next comes chapter on Celestial Marriage
a Revelation on the Patriarchal order of Matri-
mony, or Plurality of Wives" purporting to
have been given as a covenant to Joseph Smith,
the Seer, in Nauvoo, on the 18th of July, l843,
followed by an argument in a1or of polygamy,
in which the practice is attempted to be justified
by Scripture, and the power of Congress, or even
of any State or Territory, TO prohibit it is de-
MED.
For some time we hesitated to believe that
polygamy existed among the Mormons, because'
in the first place. we could hardly conceive that
any large number of people, born and reared IN
the United States and England, could be induced
to regard as proper, and even sacred, an observ-
ance SO repugnant to the general sentiment OF
the people of this country, and because, IN the
second place, we were assured by leading per-
son of the sect that such was not the case.
Subsequent representations, however, were
strong enough to change our opinion, and to in
duce the belief that the charges were well foun-
aed. And now we have open proclamation of
the fact by an authorized representative of this
wicked and deluded people.
What effect such promulgation will have on
the parties to whom the appeal has been made
remains to be seen.
The pictorial device of "The Seer" is heart
with an eye in its centre; and the journal itself
is in the octave form, each number containing
Is pages, and published at 81 per annum.--

February. This number contains two of the
finest steel plate engravings that we have seen
for many months. One Of them is called < Pro-

The plates alone are worth the money that a

And through the window-panes. on floor and

Streamed the red Autumn sun.

And the white sails of ships;
And, from the frowning rampant, the black
cannon
Hailed it with feverish lips.

To see the French war-steamers speeding over
When the fog cleared away.

Their cannon, through the night
Holding their breath, had watched in grim de-

The sea-coast opposite.
And now they roared at drum-beat from their

On every citadel;
Each answering each, with morning saiutations,
That all was wells
And down the coast. all taking up the burden,
Replied the distant forts,
As If to summon from his sleep the Warden
And Lord Of the cinque Ports.

No morning gun from the black forts emhrazs
