BEMEyr's LEcTrREs.-Last week this
gentleman lectured upon Ancient History,
in the Presbyterian church in this place.
He is certainly one Of the very best lee
turers we have ever listened to. His con-
nection of the past with the present and
the morals taught by the application, is
SO fine that no one could be other than
pleased It is true, we might differ with
him on some points, btit taking his whole
lectures together, we think he excells most
lectures in style and interest.
A portion of one of his lectures will be
found on the outside Of to-day's paper.

Editors, and what is expected of them
without Charge.

= :
without Charge.
There is many a Journalist now languish
ing in poverty, while dozens to whose sue
cess in life he gave the first impulse, roll
by him in their carriages, and have forgot
ten his very existence. There is no
country save ours, in the world, where
journalists are expected to do so much
work for the special benefit Of others
without recompense. Generally out OF
this country, editors are inaccessible, If
not anonymous they may let you know
what they think but not who thinks
it. You cannot walk into an EDITORS
room in London or Paris, and ask him to
devote his time and his columns to your
own advancement as profit. Here this is
done every day, even by utter stangers,
Half an editors time-sometimes his
whole day, throwing over his proper work
into the nights given up to receiving
the calls, listening to the stories, and
obeying the requests Of one good-natured
friend after another, who drops in to try
his chance Of getting ten times as valuable
an advertisement out of him for nothing,
as he would be likely to get out of the
publisher by regular paying. If he fails,
he looses nothing, for he has plenty of
brass left-if he succeeds, he has used his
time to decided advantage. And thus is
civility abused-thus is good feeling inn
posed upon. sfa i .94
Many an editor receives several letters
in a day requesting him to Go this or that
to Recommendation the benefit of utter
strangers or mere .acquaintances, who
have no shadow of claim to tax him.

Russia and the Western powers, the latter
will not content themselves with saving
Constantinople-they will prevent the re-
currence of similar perturbations of the
security of civilized nations, and will tax
their precautions for the future This will
be easily accomplished, when, with their
cannon, they shall have snapped the fac
titious bonds which holds together the het-
erogeneous elements of the Russian EN-
pire. Eager for vengeance, we shall then
see revived the nationalities which the Ru-
sian yoke has bowed down, but has not
destroyed. Poland, proud of her he

Crimea, where, under the infence of the
Muscovite policy, the nativ,. population
has diminished onehalf in fifty years;
Armenia, weighed downby an odious dom
ination; the Caucasian provinces, where
the Teherkesses, who have been with sc
much difficulty brought under subsection,
will soon second the efforts Of the undaun-
ted Lesghes of the brave Schamyl The
Chatholics will remember the persecu-
tions which they have undergone, and the
Mussulmans the insults which have been
put upon their creed. Sweden, Turkey
and Persia will claim the portions of ter

severe account Of the .conqucsts and hu-
initiation of the past will be demanded by
all the neighboring nations from the haugh-
ty power which is only become so great by
the detriment Of its neighbors, and which,
after having thought and acted as the
guardian of social order against revolu-
tionary excesses, is now disturbing the
public peace of Europe by its extravagant
demands and its mbition.-Puiis paper.
Oregon Timber---Hew they Cut it.
The trees in Oregon have been subject
of remark, an account of their immense
size. A letter from Oregon mentions the
fact, that the keel offrom the steamer Lot
Whitcomb, 160 feet long, is made of Jud-
sc Strong, Cathlamet, drawing ofwhich
was recently made for London pictorial
newspaper, stood 10 feet at the diameter
at the bottom, and 900 feet high But
trees are found that measure 800 feet as
they lay extended on the ground, and near
the coast 200 feet in length OF saw-logs
have been taken from a tree on more than
one occasion. Fir and spruce run up. spire-
like, farthest among the clouds, never
throwing out any large lateral branches.
The manner of telling spruce timber is
somewhat peculiar. With a large auger,
hole is bored through a green standing
tree, or two holes so bored as to meet with
in the white or sap part of the wood. Then
coal Of fire is put into the hole. The
draft of air sets tito burning, and in from
to IL hours, according to the size of the
tree. it falls, with little or no more waste of
wood than would be used by an axe man.

Imtemperance.


A few thoughts suggested to the mind
Of the writer from reading the premature
and calamitous death of JEREMIAH Nc
LAueHLIN, by fall while in state of in
toxication:
Talent and genius are no securlty---in-
tellectual strength is no proof against the
wles of temptation; intemperance has ev-
er been the beseting sin of many who
were, and some whostill are brilliant stars
in the literary armament; and as we view
their wide wandering from the path i'll
which they should tread, I'VE are led to ex,
claim: chow are the mighty fallen" s-
If we consult history. we shall find that
Byron was not an exception, nor SherdeD,
nor the Scottish minstral, Burns, nor Moore
he who sung SO sweet of hope, listen
ed to the syrene voice of the tempter, and
fell avictim to Anacreon' favorite theme,

orators Of ourown day or any other one
of our own countrymen, has given HIM
selfup SO far to ointemperance thatfrequen-
tly when he was about to utter thoughts
of beauty and words Of almost superhu-
man eloquence, he has required the aid Of
a friendly arm to sustain his faltering
steps. How long will the people Of a
land, which above all others requires pub
lie virtue for its safety, remain inactive
when they see the marks of a monster up
on the most holy parts of the ark Of our
safety; who is going about seeking for the
noblest of our sons, whom he allures into
aneddy from which they but too seldom

Abandonment Of River improvements

month, The huls. upper works, engines,

Snag boats, with al. the tackle. furniture,

The hours OF 10 A. NJ. and 2 p. NJ,
and payment will be required in cash.
These boats are about a year'old. They
were built for the special purpose OF
