Our country is onward Nothing can stay
her march, for the hand of God points to her
final destiny. She is yet to become the might
lest of all nations-the great moving power,
into which other nations will merge and wipe
out forever the last vestge of a barbaric, a
brutal age. Then will he mission be fulfilled
then will Liberty triumph over Oppression, and
theebrightest hopes and wishes of our pilgrim
fathers, be most signally realized.

LIE CHARIyARI.-Our able contemporary OF
this journal, DR.. CHARLES TEsTUT, did us the
honor of call On Wednesday last The Doctor,
who by the by, is no stranger to US as an editor
is now on a tour soliciting subscribers for his
paper, the only one Of the kind published in
New Orleans, and we are fattered to say that
his visit here has not been without its good re-
suits. There is nothing like variety-anda time
for all things. When politics, business, ETC.,
have been attended to, the mind naturally seeks
for other objects with which to interest it
something that will revive the spirits and attack
the risibles. The Charivari is just the thing to
bring about these happy results-a real antidote
for dispondency, low spirits, blue DEVILS and
all kindred maladies. It is neatly printed, will
edited, and regularly served every Sunday
morning, arriving here by the Sunday train Of
tile Opelousas Railroad and deliverable to sub
scribers of the Fifth District Of New Orleans,
Thibodaux, at one o'clock, in the afternoon.

A SLAVE OF GEN. WASHINGTON STILL LIVING.
A correspondent Of the Philadelphia Enquirer
communicates to that paper the remarkable fact
that negro, once slave Of Gen. Washington,
having been purchased and afterwards sold by
the "Father of his Country" is still alive in
Fayette county, Pennsylvania. His history is
thus given:
s'He was brought in slave ship from the
coast of Guinea, to the port of Philadelphia,
sometime between the year 100 and ITO, and
was purchased, together with nine others, for
farm-hands on the Mount Vernon estate, then
owned by Col. George Washington, already
man Of note in the Colonies, from his services
in the French and Indian wars His name in
his native country was sFuntemah,' but at
Mount Vernon they give him the less barbarous
appellation Of Simon to which he afterwards
added the name Of Washington in honor Of
his good master Simon continued to reside at
Mount Vernon until the time Of the revolution,
when, with others, he was sent out to tract
Of land in Fayette county, Pa, owned by Gen.
Washington, to assist in the erection of MILL
After laboring here for some years he was sold
to Brazil Brown, from whom the town of Brown
vile is named, and he sold him to Colonel
Edward Cook, in whose service he remained as
long as he was recognized as slave"
The writer cites q strong array Of testimony
to show that this negro is what he claims to be.
The evidence indeed seems absolutely conclusive.
He adds:
With all these profs it would seem the YER
lest in6delity to disbelieve that old Simon was |
IN reality the slave Of Washington, and that his
age cannot be shortof six score years perhaps
It exceeds it !"

OUR CousTRY.-The Minnesota Weekly Times
is pleased to make the following remarks upon
these United States:
cit is astonishing with what rapility our
country has grown from infancy into the giant
man. Starting with only thirteen States, few
in numbers, and lettering beneath the weight of
seven years war, she has gone forward adding
State after State, until now America occupies
the most commanding position of any nation on
the globe. Little did those who first trod our
soil dream of such result Little did mother
England imagine that her child, whom she at
tempted to chastise for disobedience, would
grow up to rival her in greatness, aye, to out
strip her in power and influence. Little did the
old messy monarchs of Europe suppose that
what deemed a hazardous undertaking. would
prove glorious reality-the reality of self
government-the reality of republicanism-the
reality of living on soil unpoluted by the tread
of tyrants-the reality of breathing the free air
of freedom. That small band of veterans who
dared to proclaim their rights and then defend
them, has passed away, but the seed sown fell
on good ground, and from it sprung gigantic
tree, whose banches extend over nearly all the
North American Continent. 1t is still in its
yigor, still Furnishing, still destined to extend
its arms, so that beneath. its shade, the nations
now struggling to be free, may cluster and sing
pseans to the Goddess of Liberty.
