WELL-TIMED ADVICE. The Baltimore
Patriot, in an article eritieising the late war
letter of the Charleston Mercury, says:
"Let South Carolina render herself indie
pendent of the North, not by force Of arms,
but by superior cheapness of manufactures /;
by making sheetings and shirtings at south
ern mills by tanning her own hides, instead
of the hides of her puritan sisters by max
ing or raising her own "ducks," instead Of
buying either the cotton ones of Massachu-
sets OF the feathered ones of Muscovy by
pegging her own shoes, instead of pegging
away at fanatical shoemakers, and by en-
couraging no "drillings" but such as are of
domestic manufacture, three quarters wide,
of a round, even thread and of serviceable
quality. These are my strategetic points,
Young man. and I am inclined to think you
will find them good deal better than your
ewn."
AN AMERICAN LADY TO BE QUEEN OF Ma
pLEs-It is rumored that Louis Napoleon
desires to put his cousin, Lucien Murat, a
few years ago planter in Florida, on the
throne of Naples. Murat is good natured
person, but has neither energy nor wit enough
to make king in times like these. He has,
however, one great advantage to back him,
which no king in Europe can boast of, for he
has Yankee wife, and she is not only a
handsome woman still, but has intellect, en-
ergy and derision enough to keep her husband
on the throne without the aid of a police.
What novelty! A genuine Yankee lady
transformed into regular Queen; and Queen
of Naples, too, the loveliest spot in the world
not more famous for its Vesuvius and Pom
peii than for its unrivalled maccaroni and
soup. This may lead, ifshe gets there, to the
final settlement of this inextricably italian
problem-for making the late Mrs. Murat,
late of Florida, and now princess at Paris,
Queen of Naples and Empress of Italy, We
may see, at least, this beautiful land restored
to content and harmony, for the republican
party would be satisfied to see Yankee in
power, while the royalists would make no
objection as long as she was an Empress.
A SENSIBLE HINT.-The Galena Advert
ser states the following fact and moral thereto
attached:
The public mind is too much cut up into
factions to suit US, and this is particularly the
case in the Northern States. While the peo-
pie of Massachusetts, and New York cannot
possibly get along through an election with
out from three to six differen tickets, those
of the Southern States seldom have but two,
and in South Carolina they have but one.
While the former often defeat themselves by
their divisions, and hazard good cause, the
latter by wise and considerate union, tri-
umph with bad one.
THE MoRMoNs.-The Salt Lake folks are
not likely to be kicked to death by grasshop-
pers, as we are glad to hear by the last ac-
counts, or devoured by the crickets. A sweet
substance. moreover, has been discovered on
the leaves of the trees in Utah valley, which
is collected, strained and run into cakes, like
maple sugar. and is used for food. This cir
cumstance is to be laid hold of by the Nor
mon missionaries, and they will reap in con-
sequence a harvest Of prosoiytes.-Galeaa
