Social DcDCndcncc.

Human beings, though separate units, eacl
having distinct existence of his own; are ne
verless most intimately bound together by the
great law Of social dependence. In this respect
none lives to himself and no one dies to him
self. No one can isolate himself, and exist
independent of all others. Independence of our
fellow.mcn is nothing Dut fcoIish dream, hav
Ing no corresponding reality in life.
If we look into the family; the primitive
society of man, we see all the parts coherinG
each being essential to the other. The same
principal extends throughout the centre me-
chansm Of human society. All classes lean
upon each other, receiving aud imparting
some in one form and some in another. The
rich are as independent as the poor; the EN-.
pIoyer as truly so as the man he employs
Sometimes we speak Of the highe and lower
classes, as if the former were independent, yet
this is mistake, for in this sense there are
no higher classes. The rich may have abun
dance of money; but for a great variety of
purposes they want the services Of others
quite as much as the latter may need their
money. No man is able to supply his own
wants. To meet the constantly recurring ne

things than he can produce; and for these he
must look to the agency Of others. If we
nee,, our neighbor's services, then he rs much
needs ours; if we have money 10 lend then we
need borrower; if we have goods to sell, then
We need a purchaser: if we wish to build a
house, then we need builders; or if one has skill
to use then he must find some one to whom it
will be sufficient value to return reward; al
ways remember that il no one wants his skill,
it is worth nothing to him. Thus we are wo-
ven together iu great web of social life, eve
ry thread of the complicated structure bear
ing the stamp of our social dependence. There
are none so strong SO great, so rich or so wise
as not to be subject to this law. 1t is as real
Iy true Of a king as it is Of a slave. lie who
so huhnors this law Of social exchanges rs to
scatter blessings Oil his path and make his ex:
istcncc real service to others, doing all the good
he can and as little harm as possible, will not
have lived in vain. Such man ever dies III
debt to the world. FIe is no loss to his race
while he lives, and always leaves vacancy
when he is gone. lie, on the other hand,
whose principle is TO care for nobody but him
sclf,makcs war upon one Of the'first conditions
and duties of his existence. lie ignores the
law of social dependence, viewing men as mere
machines, and using them on the same princi
pie that governs him in eating an apple. Such
man is not fit to live, and as for dying, he
certainly is not fit for that.

EXCELLENT ADvlcE.-In concluding an OPT.
nion in certain tax cases, Judge Gholson Of the
Superior Court of Cincinnati -Ohi1 lately III
tered ihe following pertinent remarks:
at is a true saying that eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty, and so it is with good 60
vernment and freedom from oppression A
single individual, however vigilant, may some.
times suffer unjustly at the hands of COM
mnnty; but communities rarely, if ever, suffer
any injury from the hands Of those vested with
authority, which cannot be traced to their own
want OF vigilance. Those who will not take
that part in governing themselves to which
they are entitled under the constitution and
laws, will not exert, in this respect, that weight
and influence which they may justly claim,
must not be surprised if others take the trouble
to govern them, and do not at all times do SO
in satisfactory manner But the remedy for
any such oppression is not and should not be to
ask departure on the part of a judge, from
u strict line of duty, but rather resort to
that vigilance which has been neglected, A
community thus suffering under oppression
cannot apply to any Hercules for help; for it is
with the people alone under our system of CO.
vernment, that any such Herculean power re-.
sides. 1t is with them to mako or unmake con-
stitutioas, laws and officers"

Prttigru very much for his bold prosecution
of the case of SmaIle, the Yankee wood chop.

considered as adopting all that we may pub.

qucnt pancgyrc on Mr.. Pettigru, but there is
one fatal blemish in his history, which stands
out in painful relief His life has been spent
in conendng against the policy and interests
of his native State. Recall the occasions OF
those great intellectual strics in which his
learning aud eloqucncc and humor, and un
calculating courage, have achieved victory in
the forum, and invested his reputation with
lustrous renuwn. In all of them, he has been
identified with the enemies Of his native State

brilliant humorist; but Daniel Webster was his
superior in all these. lie has the courage Of
martyr, and regards neither man nor State in
the pursuit Of his purpose; the same may be
equally said of Giddings and Seward in Con-
gress and much more Of Tappan and Garrison,
when they commenced under universal odium
the anti islavery agitation. We think the enor-

A HARD CAsE.-The Texas debt question
still drags in the committee Of the United
States House OF Representatives lot being yet
even reported ON. This delay is the occasion
Of great Inconvenience and loss, and even of
bankruptcy to some of the creditors of Texas.
Here is a case in point:
A creditor Of this fund claims SAC, 900. and
the State of Texas admits the claims for $685..
900. The money-his money is locked in the
vaults of the Treasury, while his house is sold
from over the head of his family for debt. Re-

RELIGIOUS sroLERATIoN.-A correspondent OF
the New York Times, writing from Leghorn,
in Tuscany, remarks the almost entire absence
in that city of the vaunted glories ofancIent
church architecture. He notes the important
fact, however, that all religions are permitted
to have their places OF worship, and beautifully
expresses the thought which the fact suggests:
The monument of true religious liberty is
one that rises to Heaven; it perces the clouds;
it enters within the arch consecrated to the
stars; it lights the soul to God. The loitiess
church which claims to hold salvation within
its male. and does not acknowledge worship
b,y'ni it, confines religion of the heart to its
own precincts. The piety of st. Peters may:

SICK AND WOUNDED OF THE ALLIEs-WH 40
WILL GET TRE MOST "SPoIJs."-The Nation
al Intelligencer publishes letter from gen
tleman in Paris to his friend in Washington,
from which we make the annexed extract:
The number of sick and wounded return
ing from the Crimea is dreadful. In Con-
stantinople they have increased in fearful
ratio. Some of the largest converts, as the
Christians call them, lately occupied by Der
wishes, the most filthy creatures and worst
of all earthly fanatics, and other immense
buildings, have been converted into hospit-
ais; the same at other places in Turkey.
Still they have to send large numbers back
to France and scarcely transport or steam
er returns without bringing one hundred to
five hundred wounded, Or as they are called,
conUGlescent soldiers; and it is estimated
that serenity per cent. of them die. New hos
pltals have been opened in several quarters
at Marseilles, containing 4 900 beds. These
poor unfortunates Introduce cholera, typhus
fever, and other camp diseases.
The French are building six immense struc-
lures at Constant tinople, which they call hos
pitfalls. They are of massive construction,
and admirably arranged as hospitals; but
they will, at the same time, make splendid
barracks, and by no means contemplate
forts or places of defence. The Turks view
them with great sorrow, if not with more
indignant feelings; for they are convinced
the Giaour never again intends to leave
Stamboul. The reign Of the Moslem has
ceased in Turkey, as much as that of tn.
MoorS did in Spain under Ferdinand and IS

the soil, but soon they must disappear as oul
