A National WING on slaverv.

Our readers have noticed that there i.
movement on foot for the union of all
the anti Nebraska and anti Administra
ton elements il New York, in a Repub
lcan parry. There is at present an ex
cellent prospect, that fusion" VIII be
effected which viii place New York 81 lie
by side with Ohio and Tndiana. The n.
Y. Courier and Enquirer takes decided
groanl in favor Of the movement. Il
says:
We dislike abol.tionism but we would
rather thousand times vote for Carr, on
and Tappan, as President and Vice Pres.
Ident, than tamely submit for an hoar. to
The humiliation which tie Senate has put
upon US by the repeal OF The M ssourl
Compromlse With us, therefore, the
first great object Of our political lie s.
and Will commune TO be, the restoration If
TIE Compromise Of 1890 and 10 rccom-
plsh that Object. and thus hull back dc
h.nce upon those who have been dishou-
esi and uaprincpled, and reckless Of faith
and honor, we are perfectly wiling, if
need be, to consort FIR the time teng,
with even Political Abodtionism, and all
the other abomlnable isms of the day. ~
Therefore, our wish is for union with
the Republican p r'y in the coming con-
test; and we cannot doubt but the result
will be favorable alike to the best interests
OF every portion oi the country.

ADVICE TO PARENTS.

Be ever gentle with the children God has given you; watch them constantly; reprove them earnestly, but not in anger In the forci- ble language of scripture, Be not bitter against them" "Yes, they are good boys," once heard kind father say, |" I talk to them pret- ty much, but do not like to beat my children the world will beat them" It was beau- tiful thought, though not elegantly expressed. Yes, there is not one child in the circle round the table, healthy and happy as they look now, on whose head, if long spared the storm will not beat. Adversity may wither them, sick ness fade, cold world frown on them; but amid all, let memory carry them back to a home where law of kindness reigned, where the mothers reproving eye was moistened with a tear and the father frowned "more in sorrow than in anger"

 The great drawback to gold mining in Vir ginia and in other States, has been occasioned by the want of adequate machinery. Thou sands of dollars have been expended in endea vors to surmount this obstacle and 1t was at las accomplished Gin 1S52-53) by John Cochran esq, an eminent mechanic of New York. O this invention the Intelligencer says:
 With the machine invented by him, on' hand can crush to an impalpable powder thir ty tons of quartz rock per day of twelve hours and since, an amalgamator has been attached tt it, equally valuable, the product of every day labor can be had in hard, clean gold, by me thod as simple as grinding ccfee. The whole affair has been purchased by company in New York, and is now called the Eureka Crushing Machine.' They are erecting one at this time at Gold Hill, in North Carolina. They alst have them at the Belzora mines in this State.'
 The Intelligencer is of opinion that as soor as the present stress in the money market Il passed, gold mining in Virginia will be one O the leading features that will induce capitalists to invest their spare funds in that State. Il also mentions that copper and silver are to bt found to great extent, and the next revival o mining interest will, with proper management and the use of the machinery mentioned, give 1t an impetus that no financial distress can in- terrupt.
