Philosophers tell US that since the creation
of the world, not one single particle of mat
ter has been lost. 1t may have passed into
new shapes, it may have foated away in
smoke or vapor, but it is not lost, it will
come back again in the dew drop or the rain,
spring up in the fibre of the plant, or paint
itself on the rose leaf. Through all its trans
formations, Providence watches over and d.
reefs it still. Even so it is with every holy
thought or heavenly desire, or humble aspir-
ration, or generous and self denying effort.
1t may escape, our observation, we may be
unable TO follow it, but it is an element of
the moral world, and it is not lost

WHAT MAKING A RAILROAD DISCOVERED
The Lynchburg Virginian of the Goth ultimo
says: "a singular inquiry was addressed, a
few days since, TO the President of the Vir-
ginia and Tennessee Railroad Company, by a
contractor who is employed in the construc-
ton of the Salt Works branch. The inquiry
was: Shall make the embankments with
the gypsum get out of the cuts on my con-
tract in Mr.. Robertson's farmP This gypsum
quarry was not known to exist at all till dis
covered by the excavation made in the con-
struction of the railroad. To the farmers on
the line of the Virginia and Tennessee road,
this is a more important discovery than was
the gold mine at Suffers Mill, in California.

IMPORTANT FROM JArAs.-The English pa

IMPORTANT FROM JAPAN.-The English pa
pers received by the Arctic contain the i'm
portant announcement, under date of Shang-
hal, April II, that Commodore Perry has sue.
ceeded in the object of his visit to Jeddo, and
that similar advantages have been obtained
for the commerce of the country that had
previously been conceded to Russia. The
same condition is contained in beth treaties
namely, that three ports are TO be opened in a
year. The latest advices from Shanghai, I'M
der date of March 81, stated that Commodore
Perry was hourly expected there on his re-
turn from Jeddo, and it is probable, therefore,
that the statement Of the English papers is
correct. Such result will fully vindicate
the Japan expedition from the unmerited
abuse expended upon it, and open to the COM
merce of our country an immense field for its
profitable employment.
Washington sentinel., 1854-06-18

termination appears to have been, that it is not
expedient to expose the Turkish army to the
risk of a general action for the sake of repell-
ing the attack of the Russians on the fortresses
which cover the right bank of the Danube.
Neither is it supposed to be their intention to
throw any considerable portion of the allied
armies on the coast, so as to come into imme.
diate collision with the present advanced posts
Of the Russians. If we are right in conjectnr-
ing that the operations contemplated are of
different nature, although they may disappoint
the natural impatience of the public, we can
only hope that experience viii show that the
decision Of the French and English comman-
ders is based on sufficient grounds
Washington sentinel., 1854-06-18

gave poignancy to the first moments of reaec-
ton after the earthquake was over
II was believed that at least fourth part OF
the inhabitants had been buried beneath the
ruins. The members of the government, how
ever, fastened to ascertain, as far as practica-
BILE, the extent of the catastrophe, and to quiet
the public mind. II was found that the loss Of
life had been much less than was supposed,
and it now appears probable that the number
of the killed will not exceed one hundred, and
of wounded fifty. Among the latter is the
bishop, who received severe blow on the head; /;
the late president, Senor Duenas; daughter
of the president, and the wife of the secretary
of the legislative chamber, the latter severely.
Fortunately, the earthquake has not been
followed by rains, which gives an opportunity
to disinter the public archives, as also many of
the yaluables contained in the dwellings of the
citizens.
The movements of the earth still continue,
with strong shocks, and the people, fearing
general swallowing up of the site of the city,
or that it may be buried under some sudden
eruption of the volcano, are Fastening away,
taking with them their household gods the
sweet memories of their infancy, and their do
nestle animals, perhaps the only property left
for the support of their families.
The population of San Salvador was esti-
mated, in 1852, at $4,000. Including the little
towns in its environs, and which were practi-
cally part of it, such as Soyopango, San Mar

been estimated at 10000.
