charge can be brought against him to prove
He has been useful and valuable member of society

MAcuLAY vs. PEss.-This, most prominent, among
the causes eeebres Of the literary world at present
continues to be lengthy argued in the court Of final
appeal-the newspaper. We give the latest argu-
ment-the sur-replication:
!" MFR. Dixon, the biographer of the Governor of
bmsnnsylSania m has cone out with long and power
viewing that work and summing up the points Of diff
terence between Mr. Dixon and .the great historian
the critic Of the times concludes an article in the
following manner: I" The question is independent
Of the merits of Penn. He may Or may mot, as
swift ave AYERS, have aspoken agreeably and with
spirit" He may or may not, as Burnet describes
have had tedious, luscious way, that was not apt
to overcome mans reason though it might tire bis
patience" But, at all events, he could nothave been
at the same time good and great man, ] accord
ing to Mr. Dixon, and an extortionate, seducing in
timidatng, smonical scoundrel and perured traitor,
according to Mr.. Macaulay. The evidence must
warrant an election between such discrepancies as
these and NJ. Dixon is quite right in moving for a
decision. Mr. Macaulay should come into court, and
without prejudging the result if the authority lay
with US, we would say, following our local metaphor
" Mr.. Dixon, take your rule.H

are the crowds, so great their depth that
lanccs and harpoons-eventh the sound-lead-
thrown among them at random do not sink'
but remain standing upright. What num-
bers are devoured by sharks and birds of
prey is not known what immense quantities
are caught along the coast to be spread as
manure on the fields of inland, is beyond all
calculation and yet, it has been ascertained
that over thousand millions alone are an
nualy salted for winter consumption.
Alike gigantic is the life of the ocean in
its dimensions. Whales Of hundred feet
in length, and more, are the largest of all
animals on earth, five times as long as the
elephant, the giant Of firm land! Turtles,
weighing thousand pounds are found In
more than one sea. The rocky islands OF
the southern Arctic alone furnish supply
of million of sca-lions, and seals. Huge
birds rise from the foam covered waves, their
homes never seen by human eye, their young
ones bred in lands unknown to man. Islands
are formed, and mountains raised, by the
mere dung of generations of smaller birds
And yet nature is here also greatest IN her
small creations. For how fine for instance,
must be the texture of sinews and muscles,
of nerves and blood-vessels, in animals that
never reach the size of pea or even pin
head?
The ocean has not only its mountains and
plains, its turf and moors and sandy des-
serts, its rivers, and sweet springs, gushing
forth from hidden recesses, and rising through
the midst of salt water but has also lofty
forests, with luxuriant parasites, in vast pral-
ries and blooming gardens; landscapes, in in
fine, far more glorious and gorgeous than all
the splendor of the firm land. 1t is true
that but two kinds of plants, alga OF. facus,
prosper upon the bottom of the sea, the one
a jointed kind, having thread-like form, the
other jointless, and containing all the species
that grow in submarine forests or float like
green meadows in the open sea. But their
forms are so varied, their colors so brilliant,
their number and size so numerous, that they
change the deep into fabulous fairy gardens:
And, as branches and leaves of the firm,
earth-rooted trees tremble and bend on the
elastic waves of the air, or wrestle, sighing
and groaning, with the tempest's fury, so
"the sea-weed, Shiny and dark, waves its
arms so lank and brown" and struggles with
the ocean that pulls at its roots, and tears its
leaves into shreds. Now and then the nigh
ty adversary is victorious, and rends them
from their home, when they wander home
less, and restless, in long broad masses to-
wards the shores of distant lands, where, Of
ten, trees are found so impenetrable that they
have saved vessels from shipwreck, and many
a human life from the hungry waves.

views, and has been alone among the monthly pc
riodicals of America in defence of the peculiar

repel assaults upon the South, whether they come
under the specious garb of fiction, or in the direct
form Of anti-slavery pamphlets. At this critical
juncture, while our enemies are employing litera-
ture rs their most potent weapons Of attack, the
Southern people will surely not withhold their
encouragement from work whose aim it shall be
to strike blows in their defence.
The Messenger will, rs heretofore, present its
readers with Reviews, Historical and Biographical
Sketches, Novels, Tales, Travels, Essays, Poems,
Critiques, and Papers on the Army, Navy, and

"DYING FOR A Cock TAIL. Davis has
only one fault--he sets too high value on
odistilled liquors" This habit has redu-
cel Davis to seeiy trowsers and gcneralship.
On Monday last, Davis was "dying for a
cocktail" but, as i'll luck would have it, he
had not the necessary funds to realize his
desires Davis thought over the matter, and
then made rush for Remond's. He enter
ed the bar-room, with his hair streaming out
behind like Il comet:
"For heavens sake, hand me 4 glass of
liquor-countryman just fell down in State
street and cut his head open SO that life is
despaired Of"
The barkeeper flew around and handed
Davis about three gills Of first quality BRAN
dy. Davis seized the mug and rushed out.
He returned in about ten minutes, and
said the man was better, and had been car
ricd to the hospital. Barkeeper said: "Glad
to hear it," and felt like Samaritan for the
remainder of the day. In about two hours
after this, Davis was arrested for singing the
"Star Spangled Banner" from dry goods
box, in Broadway. Strange fellow, that Da-
Wis! Don't mean any harm, but he must
have his cocktails.

TIE FIRST STEP TO RUIN.-"My first

bed in the corner of prison "My first

but did not think it would come to this ~
Perhaps he said 1t is too unpleasant to
be cooped up in church. What harm is
there in taking my fishing tackle and set
ting on the bank to fish ?
What harm ? Why, the harm that God
is disobeyed, who says: "Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy" The mo-
ment a youth determines to have his own
way, prefcrring his own pleasure before
Gods will, that moment he lets 60 his rud-

are drifting, you will be lost.
