HOur thanks are due the Hon. John sli-
dell for copy Of the correspondence upon the
Naval expedition to Japan, under Com. Perry.
HThs officers of steamers Laurel Hill and
Capitol have our thanks for late city papers.
- Our friends who have been using their

our subscription list have our most cordial
thanks t
HEx-P President Fillmore il in England
and had been presented to the Queen.
~ Mr.. G. A. W. Steadman has presented
US with stalk of cotton, the largest we have
seen this season. 1t is more than II feet high.
He has about fifty acres in the field whence
this was taken, all equally good.
%W We have received from Mn David
Pipes singular phenomenon in the way Of q

the tassel and the ear of corn seems to have
been united on the top Of the stalk forming =
hybrid substance which partakes Of the appea-

tn. CRoPs-The Improvement in the crops
In our Parish, for the last three weeks has been
wonderful. Many Of our planters, who,
short time since, were talking with long faces
about famine and its direfdl consequences, now
speak Of enlarging their cribs. More than the
usual amount Of land has been planted in corn
in consequence of an anticipated shortness in
this crop, and it is believed that our planters
will produce this most necessary of all other
products. in overfowing abundance. Much
young cotton has come up since the late rains,
which makes the stand good but very irregu-
lar. Cotton looks well.
From EuRoPE-The steamer Baltic arrived
at New York on 2sth inst, with Liverpool
dates to the 18th inst.
Cotton quotations unchanged.
Political news unimportant. The principal
item is that desperate battle had been fought
before the Mamelon Tower, in which 5000
men were put hors du combat.

and peaceful enjoyment of his own religious
opinions and worship, and a jealous resistance
Of all attempts by any sect, denomination or
church to obtain an ascendancy over any ether
in the State, by means ofany special privileges
or exemption, by any political combination of
its members, or by division Of their civil al
legiance with any foreign power, potcntate or
ecclcsiastic.
IX.-The reformation of the character of
our National Legislature, by elevating to that
dignified and responsible position men of high
er qualifications, purcr morals, and more un-
selfish patriotism.
X.-The restriction Of executive patronage
especially in the matter of appointments to
otfice-so far as it may be permitted by the
Constitution, and consistent with the public
good.
XI.-The education of the youth of our
country in schools provided by the State !;
which schools shall be common to all, without
distinction Of creed or party, and free from any
influence or direction of denomnational or
partisan character
And, inasnuch as Christianity, by the Con-
stitutions of nearly all the States, by the de-
cisions Of the most eminent judicial authori-
ties, and by the consent of the people of Ameri-
ca, is considered an element of our political
system, and as the Holy Bible is at once the
source Of Christianity, and the depository and
fountain of all civil and religious freedom, we
oppose every attempt to exclude it from the
schools thus established in the States.
XII.-The American party having arisen
upon the ruins and in spite Of the opposition
Of the Whig and Democratic parties, cannot
be held in any manner responsible for the OBJ
noxious acts or violated pledges of either. And
the systematic agitation Of the Slavery question
by those parties having elevated sectional hos
tIty into spostivs elemept Of political power,

RACHEL AND HER PROFITS.-The New York
Tribune figures up that on Rachefs twenty-nine
nights in that city, averaging three thousand dol
lars each, her portion is twelve hundred dollars
per night-thirty -four thousand eight hundred dol
lars in all-and NJ. Felix the managers, twenty
three thousand two hundred dollars:
''Of the remaining twenty-nine thousand dol
lars appropriated to expenses considerable por
ton is doubtless divided among the family. This
estimate does not include the profits of the Boston
season, where nine performances were given, with
about the same average result as in New York
| So with those and making generous deduction
for incidental expenses. Mile Rachel may be safe
y supposed to have lodged in bank as the result OF
the enterprise thus far, exceeding forty five
| thousand dollars in less than two months. This,
| we say from pretty accurate knowledge of
Mile RachePs receipts at the capitals of Europe is
far away the largest amount she has received
for similar number of nights performances, con
tirning the fact which the experience of every
really great artist who visited this country at
tests that in other is genius so highly appreca
ted or magnifcently rev arded'

She comes next to Baltimore then to Washington,

The Jewish TaImud.

4 conference composed of several rabbins ant
nrivate persons. lately met at Cleveland, Ohio
and ON motion of Rev. DIR. Wise, of Cincinnati
adopted the foowi us part of a platform:
..Tbat the Tamud is acknowledged by all Israel
itesl as the legal and obligatory commentary of the
Bible" .l-
Against this platform, the Rev. DIR. David Elm
horn. Rabbn of Jewi sh congregation in Balt
more. and all the membe Us of his flock, have pub
lished most decided protest DR.. Einhorn denies
in the most reserved and emphatic language, the
legislative authority of the whole Talmud, and dc
clares its conception of biblical legitimacy al
opinion which has been left tar in the rear of an
improved religious knowledge. Whilst respecting
the TaImudc writings on account of their rich ex-
uherance of contributions to a religious progress,
he AYERS that their exegesis of the Bible frequent
ly clashes with the spirit and text OF scripture
He declares that the most distinguished of the Is
raelitish biblical scholars of antiquity frequent.
ly at variance with the Talmudic Interpretation of
HOLY Writ He asks whether the German Rab.
binieal Conferences who have taken ground against
the TalmudcaI exposition of scripture, have ceas
ed to be Israetes; whether all should be denied
the name who carry out the anti-Talmudic inter
pretations-who, for instance shave their beard
with razorf
The Talmud, as our readers are aware is a book
containing the Hebrew laws, traditions and expo
stions. 1t consists of two parts, the Mischna and
the Ge7ndra-the former being the eritten law, and
the latter collection of traditions and comments
of Jewish doctors The subject of the present
controversy is which is regarded among the Is.
raelites as of great interest and Importance.

The Corn Crop West.

The Cincinnati Oct 800 correspondent of the N
Y. Herald, says that some weeks ago, apprehen-
sions were generally entertained that, owing to the
greenness of the corn induced by the unusual
rains in the months of August and September that
staple would suffer severely by the frost But the
frosts have come, and the corn is unframed. and
the rich valleys of the West are laden with ii as
never before. The corn crop of the West, saws
the correspondent is beyond all example, good and
enormous. The season throughout has been ex
fraordinarily favorable and the ground planted in
corn has produced all that it has the caoacitv of
doing. The writer adds that the quantity of fod-
der saved is unprecedented and of excellent quail.
ty The same correspondent states that the farm.
ers of Southwestern Ohio, northern Kentucky. and
eastern, southern and central Indiana have soxvn
more wheat and less barley this fall than any wear
since their land was cleared The breadth of
ground, he says, over which wheat has been so,yn
Is astonishing whilst the barley fields will be scarce
next harvest
