AMERICAN CHARAcrER.--A late
writer says Americans become jolly
only when annoyed by difficulty.
This is so. Surround the "Childrcn
Of the Eagle" with comfort, and they
become as taciturn as Holsters. Toss
the same children, however, into the
midst of railroad break down or
snag them for week on a Mississippi
Sawyer" and they will unbend their
faces, and become as full Of hilarity
as a bottle Of champagne. In our
opinion, the American never appears
to more cheerful advantage than when
wrestling with an ox-team against the
odds and buster Of full grown snow
storm.

A man in "Kendal Green, conducted
them to dark seller, approached by
a subterranean passage under the
State House. Here they were bade
in an invisible voice" to fall on thei,
blacks and pray for themselves
They looked at one other in the dark
blankly; each asked the other to
start" but none were able, as it seems
they were all unaccustomed to this ex.
hilerating exercise. After this, they
were ordered to rise, and follow their
leader. We know not where they
went to. The delegation separated,
and strangely met again under the
Harvey House, where Simon was
consulted, and it is not positively
known what he advised them. After
this, the citizens of West Baton Rouge

there are many respectable "Know

Of a machine lately made for the

70 The Baltimore Times furnish
es valuable recipe for putting an end
to Boston Riots. 1t has been often
limited at before and is worth q con-
sideration. The editor Of that paper
says:
Apply the principal Of the almighty
dollar to them. Let the Southern
merchants buy their goods at the
South. Let Southern people educate
their children at the South. Let us
have our own lines of intercommunica-
ton between Southern States and
Southern ports.-We assert now for
the benefit o. Southern men, that they
can here in Baltimore supply them
selves to better advantage than in
either New York, Philadelphia or
Boston. Our mechanics are "a good,
our labor as cheap, and facilities equal.
Our schools and seminaries Of learn
ing are equal to the much boosted
concerns at the North, and certainly
possessing a more congenial tone.
Every dollar spent by a southee
man in the cities and work shops Of
the North, is that much taken from
the merchants and mechanics Of the
South to- be given to abolitionism.-
We mean exactly what we say.

I BuneLARY.-On Thursday night
last, a couple Of ,irtuous young gents
retired to rest in small back office

on Laurel street and the back door
having been accidently Left open
thieves entered, and not satisfied with
filching all the small change from their
vest pockets, did actually take the
casing for their neither extremities,
and transport them to a neighboring
yard. When the parties awoke from
their slumbers, they found alas, that
they were most feloneously brought
to primitive condition. condition
in which the venerable progenitors Of
man hid their faces. They did not
swear, as immoral young men would
have done under similar circumstances,
but went in quest Of their missing gar
ments to the neighboriug yards. The
sun was up, and therefore the people
of that locality did not mistake them
for midnight spectres 1--WE hear Of no

find their covering, they found that
between themselves, they were minus
in change the sum Of six dollars

. HThe Rev Theodore Parker, and
Mr.. Wendall Phelps, during the re.
} cent riots in Boston, called on the
civil authorizes to protectthemfrom the
infuriated mob; and we find the very
laws of order Of which they had SO
grossly violated, throwing its protect
ing arm around them. Is not this
returning good for evil, where it would
better to let the storm rage, and pelt
the old sinners on their heads, until
they should be willing to learn lessons
of wisdomg s.sas
We think so. We think it would
have been well to have answered the
pious knaves somewhat after this
fashion. Gentlemen, it is the object
Of the Municipal government Of Bos-
ton, to protect the life and property,
of each and every citizen: in return
for this inestimable benefit, it requires
obedience to the laws Of order; you
have violated them in raising mob,
and cannot now, in any reason, claim
their protection.

term-"law TERM" and it is applied
to the laws when they are razied, cur
tailed-in short CodJ6ed. A short
time since, at the trihing cost Of $751;

fed into single calf volume. The
Honorables have forgotten all

the work, which after very much Ia
Dor was done. The lawyers soon
after fund that a great many laws
had escaped codiication, and at the
next meeting of the Legislature there
after, the Honorable Phillips 1--WE be-
lieve) was appointed to recodify-the
work has not yet come to light. We
suppose at least the same snug sum
of$l5,O00, will be given for the recod-
flying. The Hon. Gentleman now en-
gagged, we hope will have the fore
sight and sagacity, to leave small
opening for another volume of the
same sort. We have young lawyer Of
our acquaintance, who, we feel salts
fed, would make better codifcation
Of the statutes, than any body else,
and we will 60 his security if it be left
to him; he will not only codify them
but he will pickle 'em down in such
a manner, that no further fault will
be found with them.

MAGNOLIA CONGRATULATIONS yea

of clearing up the ground and prepar

and plant Of hatever size or charac

enormous amount of seventy five cents
per cord. - ''@ .
The committee certainly deserve the
thanks of the community for the
prompt action they have had, and they
should now be reconstructed com.
mittec to dispose Of the spot for any
thing it will bring, for it is totally un-
fitted for the purposes for which the
town purchased it.
We cannot see, what excuse can
possibly be offered for this vandalism.
The ground as it stood, full of Magno-
las from which it took its name, was
not surpassed in beauty by any locali-
ty in this section Of country, and now
it is desolate and worthless wilder
ness that cannot in the next half cen
fury be restored, to its primitive beau
ty. Let it be sold for anything it will
bring, that another spot may be obtain
ed farther removed, from the city
where wood is not worth quite so mach.

gratuitous warning was contained :

Thousand Fillibusters," perhaps to be

naturally created an .larm, and called
for additional security in the hen roost,
and the private larder. The Fillibus-
tiers however did not come-they were
looked for upthe river nor did they
spring up out Of the earth, as armies
in more ancient times have been
known to do.
TMr. Gavazzi, the apostate Priest
(the gentleman to whom we are in
debted for street preaching riots) says
he will be among his friends in N. Y.
in September next" "His friends. "
In a mass of mortality, such as the
city of New York is made of, it is not
to be wondered at, that any manner Of
man can have friends. We advise
Gavazzi to stay where he is, he will
never succeed in making half so much
noise again, as he already has. If he
does come, we would advise him to
have his life insured, and hand the po-
Icy to some humane society,"" in this
manner, he may make some impress
sion on posterity.
Preaching to motely mob, such as
can be raised any hour in enlightened
New England, is much more danger

working in a powder magazine with
fire. .,,-
