ses, dropping forward, and agreeably expressive
faces, which covered with fine glossy hair. The
fleece is unshrinkable, and best adapted 10 the breed
for telling purposes and coarser fabrics The value
of the Breed he thinks consists mainly in the
markable facility it offers TO supply animal food of
the most excellent quality, almost at pleasure, the
ewes having lambs twice year, from two to four at
a time. An eve belonging to him brought three
lambs in February, 1855, all of which were raised
TO maturity. Early in November she had two lambs
more, while her two February eve lambs each
brought lamb at the same time, making her grand
mother in nine months and her progeny within that
time no less than seven!
With respect TO the qualities of the meat, the Doc
tor states that when in China several years ago. he

meat which is entirely free from any wooy or her

RsS~ An excellent opportunity is now presented
TO those gentlemen who kicked up such hobble
sheW In the Wing ranks in 1852, because Mr. Fill
more failed to get the nomination at the hands of ht
Baltimore Conventions TO return their first love anC
support this patriot and statesman in 1856. We trus
tney will find no difficulty in showing their faith BY
thelr works The friends of Mr., Fillmore will not
only receive them into fellowship but will promise
not TO reproach them for the past.-Argus
From the Fayetteville Carolinian.
lhank you, Mr.. Argus. for your invitation 10 come
back and your promise of forgiveness for past offences
but we cant quite come it, When Mr.. Fillmore
was the executive and administered the government
tor the whole American people, and executed the
laws according to the constitution, he did not suit
your abolition allies, and you helped them throw him
overheard. Now that you have tainted him
him swear allegiance 10 secret political faction and
have made him the standard bearer of the dark Ian
tern society, he is, doubt, the man for you, but
he is no longer the Fillmore of 1852 When he was
pure you would not have him now you have cor.
ruped him we do not want him
We hear, today the roar of your cannon, rejoc-
ing over the nomination of Fillmore. -Four years
ago we heard the of the same cannon when the
same Fillmore failed to get your nomination. Oh,
consistency
"Those gentlemen who kicked up such hubble
shew in the whig ranks in 1852, because Mr.. Fill
more failed TO get the nomination." have gone into
the great national constitutional patty with which
party they will continue to act so long as democra-
ey SuetalnS us principles.
March 4th, SO A WING OF 1852.
What Parson BroyvnIow thinks of the Convention
AS Brownow seems 10 be the grand high priest OF
the KnowNothngs of Tennessee, he may be quoted
authority 10 the brethren in Virginia. Of the
convention which nominated Fillmore and DOneson,
he is reported, in its proceedings to have used some
powerful language. From the report of tie proceed
ings which find in the American Organ, we learn
that, in response to call of yeas and nays, upon
motion to lay the motion to adjourn the convention
10 the 81 Ct July, upon the table,
"Parson Brownlow said he would vote aye, and
did So because he believed, with the writer of a
teegraphic despatch to the Ptsburg convention, that
the American party was with the Black Republi-
cans"
Those journals at the South who approve the
nominations, thrown into rather unenViahe
position by this hatfooted declaration of their Par
son, since it is generally understood that are
ut forward by such bodies, embodiments of their
principles, and if Brownlow is true, Mr.. Fillmore
and Mr., Donelson must be Black Republicans How
is it, gentlemen Do you stand by the decision ?

The Boston Courier makes the following remarks
in speaking of the probability of war between Eng
land and America
England would have no chance of winning any
glory from a contest with us, without her people
were thoroughly united and Jealous for the war !;
this they not nor are they likely to be. Should
they, however, forget their pursuits of freedom,
and join their oppressors in seeking war with the
only country in the world that sympathizes with the
cause of labor and liberty the struggle would be in
deed one worthy of heroic age--a contest for the
dominion of the ocean. The weakness of Englands
insular position would be apparent in one or two
years, when the unequalled supplies of timber and
naval stores, iron and coal of America would be ex-
hbited in the continued production of fleets sur
passing the capacity Of all the world. To-day there
ship carpenters and joners enough in the United
States to build two hundred steamers of the size
of the Merrimac, each year, without diverting man
from any other branch ofrade and machinists enough
to fit them with engines, and sailors enough to man
them. Since the days of Tromp and Ruyter, Eng
land has never had really naval power to contend
with. She has destroyed fleets, but the nations who
owned them have not been able to replace them a
gain. We do not speak Of armies, for in such a war
they void be of secondary Importance. The chival-
ric valor of our people needs euconium, and the
superior military education of officers over the
British is too notorious TO require comment"

The New York Journal of Commerce, referring TO
the missing steamer Pacific, says the insurance on
her very large the amount the ship is 100000,
half in this country and half in Europe the freight
money is ;'sured for 1000 more She had between
SIX and seven hundred tons of cargo, valued at over
$l,5OO,O0O, most of which was insured, good part
IN this country. The insurance is divided among va
rious offices throughout the country, that in case
OF loss or damage to the ship cargo the blow would
not fall exclusively on New York The Pacific is
commanded by Captain Asa Eldrdge, who has nav
igated the Atlantic with the most responsible COM
mands for nearly quarter of a century AS some
reason for the encouragement of hope in her safety
the long delay of the Atlantic in 1851 is referred to
The Atlantic left Liverpool, December %, 1851, and
not lisp of intelligence of her reached her owners
fer forty,nin days She went ashore on the coast
of Ireland and her passengers themselves brough
the news of her safety by the Africa. She was miss
ing six days longer than the Pacific has been msslnf
and yet she and her passengers were all safe. The
Pacific left Liverpool on the 23d of January, and ha
therefore been out forty-three days.

AnPcOOfc of KRnn

The following anecdote of Edmund Kean the great
tragedian, has just started the rounds of the papers
While playing at Exeter, in England, and at the
height of his popularity, Kean was invited to dine
with some gentlemen at one of the principal hotels
He drove there in his carriage The dinner was an.
nounced, the table sumptuously decorated and land
lord, all bows and submission hoped that the gen
tlemen and their distinguished visitor found every
rythng to their satisfaction.
Kean stared at him for some moments, and then
said
Your name is-?n
at is Mr.. Kean I have had the honor of meet
ing you before"
You kept some years ago small tavern in the
outskirts of this town o.
81 did, Mr. Kean. Fortune has been kind to both
of us since then recollect you, sir, when you be-
longed to the theatre here !"
And I, sir" said Kean, jumping up, g recollect
yoM Many years ago | came into your paltry tav-
ern, after long journey with my suffering wife and
sick child, all of US wet to the skin | asked you
for morsel of refreshments. You answered me as
if | we're dog and refused to trust it out of your
hands, until you had received the tribe which was
its value.
"l left my family by your inhospitabIe freside
while sought for lodgings On my return, you Or
dered me like brute, to take my wife and brat from
your house Sand abused for spending in drink
the money had not for food. Fortune, as you say,
has done something for both since then, but
you still the same | see-the same crnging,
grasping, grinding, greedy money hunter. l. sir, am
the I am in my zenith-I was then at
its nadir; but | am the same mantle same Kean
whom you ordered from your doors; and | have now
the same hatred to oppression that had then; and
were it my last meal I'd not eat nor drink in house
belonging to so heartless a scoundrel y
Gentlemen" said he, turning to his friends q |
beg pardon FOR this outbreak; but were | to dine
under the roof of this time serving goldoying brute,

FRENCH ANNEXATION minister of marine
Of Paris has received reports to the 9TH of January
from the governor of Senegal. The Ouola has been
divided into four districts, each placed under the
mand of chiefs devoted to the French and the whole
under the central authority. The moment the Oualo
declared to be French province, the inhabitants
of that fertile part of the country who had been drv
away by the depredations Of the Moors, FASTENED
back to the villages and placed themselves under
French protection. This event has given fatal
blow TO the nomination of the Moots, which had
been before much shaken by the recent successful
expedition of the French troops The false prophet
Alaghi, who had endeavored to organize regular
revolt against the French authority, has taken to
flight and sought refuge at the extreme limit of the
Kaarta, and the Moors who are completely democrat
lied, will doubtless make th,:r submission be
in such state that they will not be able 10 disturb
any further the tran uIity of the country.

The London Daily News draws the following por-
trait of Lord Palmerston =
" He announced bold policy, but never enforced
it, He gave hope to Sicily, and then left her to be
butchered. He has taken radicalism to Italy, and
then told her that her fate submission TO yran-

but he granted permission to Russian troops to pass
to their subugaton. Ele the first to salute re.
pubcanism in France, and the first to hail Louis Ma
poeon emperor. In 1929 he justified the Cossack
invasion of Turky; in 1854 he leagued with others
to protect the sultan. In Europe his ordshp is not
a favorite Statesman, and in America he is still less
