SnARr TIMES AHEAp.--Under
this title the Washington Star Of the
1lth inst, has The following significant
paragraph.
An impression prevails among the
best informed democratic politicians
in and around the Halls of Congress,
that some of the lately appointed
friends Of Democratic Congressional
opponents Of the Nebraska bill, will
very shortly bite the dust. We pre-
sumo that this belief grows out Of the
fact, that Congressional friends Of the
bill are pressing for clerksbips, &c,
from the Administration, each gentle
man for bis own friends, who can
hardly be provided for, except by dis.
placing, to that end, persons appointed
to crafty gentleman who prove to be
opposed to the policy of the Admins
tration on this really first question
arising in the lifetime of the present
Congress. This impression can hard
ly be as rife, as it certainly is in such
circles, without having more or less
foundation to rest on.

REMAINS OF TUE LATE JUDAH Tot
Ro.--Mr. Kursheedt, one Of the exc
cutors of the late judith Touro, left
the city yesterday in the Empire City
for the North, with the remains Of
that excellent citizen and sincere phil.
aDthropist, which, at the request d
Mr.. r. are to be inferred in the fami.
ly vault at Newport. He is accom-
panied by Mr. Guthein, the priest Of
the synagogue in this city, who will be
joined in New York by another emf
nent gentleman Of the Jewish clergy.
The ceremonies of interment at New
port will be transformations, but in ac-
cordance with the Jewish ritual, aud
appropriate to the memory and char
acter of the good man in Israel.
We understand that after discharg-
ing this trust, Mr.. Knrshecdt will pro-
coed to Europe in order to consult
respecting the legacy for the purchase
of Jerusalem, and also to examine the
various Aims Houses on the Cont
nent, with view Of proposing plan
to carry out the legacy Of Mr.. Touro.--

We should make it a principle to
extend the hand of friendship to every
man, who discharges faithfully his
duties, and maintains good order
who manifests deep interest in the
welfare Of general society-whose de-
pertinent is upright, and whose mind
is intelligent without stopping to as
certain whether he swingsa hammer
or draws a thread. There is nothing
so distant from all natural claim as
the reluctant and backward sympathy,
the forced smile, the checked CONVEX
sation, the hesitating compliance, the
well-off are apt to manifest to those a
little lower down; with whom in the
comparison Of intellect and principles
Of virtue, they frequently sink into in

SHIPMENT OF Conn FROM TRnNEs-

Morning News Of Saturday, says A

showed us letter yesterday, advising
him Of shipment Of corn al Nash
vile, Tennessee, via Chattanooga, ~
this city, to be forwarded to Ocsla,
Florida This corn will have to come
600 miles by rsflroad before it can
reach this city, and then be forwarded
by our steamers to Florida. Who, a
few years back, would have imagined
that the products Of Tennessee would
ever find market in Florida =! But
RAILROADS have changed the course If
trade, and Savannah is daily beeom-
ing not only market, but the outlet,
for The corn, bacon, and other produce
Of the Western States. It is but q
short time since that d considerable
amount Of linseed oil, from Nashville,
was received in this city. A large
amount Of tobacco is yearly received
at Nashville and Clarksville-sotpe
10000 hhds at the former, and from
55 to 10000 hhds. yearly at the latter
place. This article has heretofore
found its way to New Orleans, and
thence to France and Germany. We
may reasonably expect, before long, to
receive portion of this trade, and we
believe il only requires an effort on the

Tar FuruRn or THE UNITED SrArrs
The Westminster Review, in the
course Of IN elaborate article on The
census of Great Britain, alludes to the
United States, and expresses the opin-
ion that the population Of this Repub-
lie, at the end Of the century, will
amount 10 one hundred millions.

"tlat Of this growing nation, all the in
firm and imperfect in body and mind

the doubt and dread. If the gaugrene

must corrupt. But it will be extirpa-
ted before the close Of the century.
The moral eenfict which first seriously
began in 1899, has gained ground
enough in twenty years to warrant a
hopeful confidence that slavery will be
regarded fifty years hence, in America,
as it is now in Europe, barbarous
aud obsolete institution.
