Commercial Treaty uith China.-The Bri-
tish Government, on learning that our Govern
ment ha6 appointed Mr. Robert J. Walker as
Minister to China, with full authority to make
commercial treaty with the new ruling pow
ers of China, Immediately instituted special
embassy to China for the same purpose. They
foresaw that the author of the Tariff Of 1916,
and of the Annexation of Texas, would omit
no effort to effect an unrestricted commerce be-
tween this country and China, and to secure
also for this country the advantage of ports of
entry and deposit, and the navigation of Chin
ese waters 1t was probably supposed by the
British Government that Mr.. Walker would
reach the scene of his diplomatic action before
their own efforts would be upon the success of
Mr. Walker. Therefore, they deemed it expe-
dient to make common cause with this country
in the movement Accordingly, they informed
this government, not long ago, of their purpose
to make a commercial treaty with the revolu-
tionarv government of China, should it be es-
tahlisbrd. and of their liberal and benehcent
intention to embrace in the stipulatons OF the
treaty. the United States and all other CONNER
cial nations. Our mission may now be aban-
doned, or indefinitely postponed; for, before
Minister can be sent out TO China from this
country. the British government will have
mad. a treaty for US, as we'll as for itself-lN.

known that Mr. Marsh has proposed ar

struction. The Austrian government, in consen-

Two young men in North Damas, Mass, one
day last week pegged one hundred aud s'Tty
pairs of womens spring heel shoes working
only ten hours. This (says an exchangel il
probably the greatest performance everrecorded
in this line. The names of the parties are
Alexander Steele and JOhnJ. Bunker. A va;
ger of twenty-five dollars was depending on the
result of TIE days work, Bunker being the chal'
lenger. Bunker pegged 78 pairs; Steele 81
pairs. Steele averaged a pair in minutes l9
seconds. There were about l25 pegs in each
shoe. or 2jO in pair. This would amount to
2o, 500 pegs in the 81 pairs, and would be at the
rate Of about 35 pegs driven in each and every
minute of the ten hours. The work was done

THE "LOUDON FREE PRESS" :"
For 1853.


Having assumed the onerous and responsible
duties of public journalists, We feel the just de-
sire TO increase the circulation of our paper,
as it viii not only increase our capabilities OF
doing good, but at the same time give us rea-
sOnable remuneration for our abors. To ac-
complish this desirable end, we have dctermin.
ed to send out this Prospectus with a request
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper will send US the largest
number Of subscribers they possibly can. Yet,
We cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertions in procuring us subscribers have
not been unnoticed 10y U.s.
We deem it unnecessary to occupy lengthy
exposition Of the leading features of the FREE
PREss. Its political complexion is ncompro-
misingly WHIG-but we are truly glad that the
evil times of unrelenting political warfare has
for time at least ceased, and those so long and
SO recently in antagonistic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory cf the land. We
look to the promotion of the interests Of gricul-
ture, of Manufactures and of Commerce, as
being by far more important to the improve
ment of TIE country, than any political issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided. These great interests shall have our
waranest support, Cur leading aim shall be to
dFo'tse public sentiment to the Importance of
industrial progress-of enrching our fields, of
identifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
As to the merits Of the FREE Press it is for
the public to judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish paper
worthy of public patronage. 1t is filed with
readable mattcr---containing the latest Foreign
and Domestic News full and impartial quota
tions Of the Produce Markets of Loudon, Au-
gusta, Savannah, Macon, Charleston, and Nash
vile, with occasional quotations from other I'm
portant pontS--together with the prices and
number of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season----also the prices of Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders broad and correct basis of judgement in
regard to this important article of trade. In
a word our paper is for the business men of
East Tennessee.
We are al.xious to increase our circulation,
aad have determined to offer the FREE Press
at greatly reduced prices to Clubsmoney to

extraordinary powers, such as no other Ameri-

which without calling names) must have jar
red the nerves of the President. The follow
ing is an extract
"If parties were to be kept together by
bribing the corrupt leaders of factions, then all
would become factionists; for all would want
bribes The most efectual mode of keeping a
party firm and well cemented, is to put the un-
ruly members into Coventry, and give the high
est seats in the synagogue to those who are vir-
tuous and meritorious. In the one case, all will
strive to be had, that they may be bribed; in
the other case, all will strive to be good, that
they may be rewarded Rewards to true men
carry along with them rebuke to bad men,
while rewards to bad men are pregnant with re-
proaches to the honest and the true-hearted."

an estate of nearly Sl,000,O00. On one occa-
sion, two city bucks drove out to his country
seat to visit his daughter. Seeing Mr. Wethe-
rel at the yard gate, dressed very shahbily.
they mistook him for servant, and ordered
him to open the gate. "Of course, said he, 81
will do that" and suiting the action to the
word, he opened the gate, and the young dan
passed He quickly picked up the quarter and
pocketed it, and a short time afterwards ap-
peared in the parlor, and was introduced to the
young men, by the daughter, as her father!-
The reader can imagine how they felt.

The Society Of Ladiee.-The following per
tinent remarks occur at the close of an article
on the dangers of college Life" from the pen
of New York clergyman, which appeared in
the New York Times:
.The society OF Ladies has done much for
me all my lifelong; and it waS the salutary,
softening influence of such association that,
with Gods blessing, restrained me from many
an excess into which might Otherwise have
been led while receiving my ed de6sion. 1t b
a bad sign when young man has no relish for
such company Whatever be mans station
in life, whether higher or lower, public or pri-
vate, he will become better man, and escape
many disaster if he will listen in due season
to the voice of the intelligent and the refined
among the other SEX Not only do they gene
rally excel US in their nice perception Of the
properties of life, and in the tender sense of
duty to both God and man, but they are equal
ly before u.s. in their instructive facility of fore
seeing evil before it is upon us, and ot wisely
discerning the character and motives of men.
1t was not all dream, which made the wife OF
Julius Cesar anxious that he should not go
to the Senate Chamber, on the fatal Ides of
March; and had he complied with her entrea-
ties, he mi ght have escaped the dagger of Bru-
t1s. Disaster followed disaster in the career of
Napoleon from the time that he ceased to feel
the balance e-wheel of Josephine's influence on his
