o. HORACE GREELEY lectured on Thurs
day evening last, at Wilmington, Del, upon
"Reform and Reformers." The Delaware
Republican says:
"He observed that he did not look upon the
word in the same light that he did some TWEEN
ty years ago His confidence in the advance
of reform, or any rapid progress toward per
Reliability, had been greatly shaken.
We should expect his experience would
force these Respondent misgivings upon him.
What has he ever earnestly advocated that
has not failed? He began his career as an
ultra protectionist, and pursued the single
idea Of artficially fostering American manu-
features, till the country reyolted under the
unjust claims for single interest, and rcpu-
dated the whole system; and the advocate
marred the interest he attempted to support
The doctrines Of socialism were followed to
their extreme consequences, till the moral
sense and conservative convictions Of the
country were outraged, and he was silcnccd
by popular condemnation Temperance be-
came his next hobby, which was ridden with
such extreme violence that the poor pet was
utterly broken down, and the good that mod
crate and perscvering philanthropists had
labored for years to effect, has been utterly
destroyed, by the passionate and fanatical adj
vocacy Of an injudicious, ultra supporter
The thing has been run into the ground, and
the subject has become offensive to the pub
lie ear from the odium its unwise friends
have brought upon the cause. 1t will take
an age to recover the ground lost by the con-
duct Of those who seize upon subjects Of NOR
al and popular reform and make them party
issues, to accomplish political objects. Thus
will it be with the subject of slavery. 1t is pur-
sued fanatically as a single idea, from which
all consideration of circumstances and rela-
tive duties are excluded, and facts and truth
are perverted, till lrecsol and antl-extension
Of slavery will be run into pure and uncon-
dtional abolitionsm, by those who seek their
own interests in the excitement they can
arouse by playing upon the popular ailings
and prejudices until people, alarmed at last
by the extremes into which they have been
betrayed by fanatical leaders, turn upon
and crush the party that has misled them
and the great subjects of moral, social and pc
litical reform, vital to the welfare of thC
country, and which, kept from the vortex 0
party politics, would have power, in the simple
statement of their truths to carry conviction
to all, are made by-word and reProach t.
those who advocate them.

THE CLIMATE OF THE NORTHWEST INTE-
RIoR.-A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, says there are extensive regions Of
country on the Upper Missouri, as mild in
climate and as habitablc as Minnesota
Wheat can be grown rs far north as the ESQ
lat on the Mackenzie river. The prairie
country bordering on both sides of the Rocky
mountains up to lat $40 is cultivable and
rich district, with climate singularly mid
If the mountains were removed, the whole
area would correspond in climate to the west
Of Europe, at least at the latitude Of St Pc
to-sburg, and as habitable as the middle of
Russia. The mountains narrow this strip Of
haibtable country, but there is still a wide
belt of mild climate and cutivable soil east
of the Rocky Mountains. from the sources Of
the Mackenzie, latitude $50 north. West of
the mountains there is much more, and there
is room for an empire in this region, artii-
cially made obscure by the Hudson's Bay
Company, and naturally somewhat difficult Of
access.
The comparison Of climates FOR the United
States shows rapid increase of heat in go
ing westward on any line of latitude from
points in Minnesota, and this even when the
elevation increases. 1t is warmer at Fort
Benton on the Missouri, in longitude 110l5
deg. west and latitude Az deg. north, for
every season, than at St Paul. Minnesota.
The isothermal lines, even for winter, curve
very largely northward over this space, and
indeed they curve most for this season, ma
king then more difference in the tempera-
ture than at any other part of the year. The
mean, winter temperature at Fort Benton is
| rs deg, and the same as that of Chicago To-
ronto Albany and Portland, Maine. At st.
Paul it is but Is deg. or ten degrees less; it
is not so cold as this on the main (south)
branch Of the Saskatchewan AT Sitka on
the Pacific coast in Russian America the
mean winter temperature is 36l5 deg, the
latitude 81 deg north. This is warmer than
at st. Louis, Washington City, and Phil2dcl-
phia.

FRIENDsHIP-The Home Journal gives the
following romantic account Of the manner in
which Bayard Taylor acquired his German
home:
With German gentleman, who had been
his travelling companion in the East, he had
formed one Of these friendships of which we
had been speaking--an ineXplicable inter
change of magnetic recognition and trust
They were together in scenes far remote from
both their homes; and their acquaintance
brief as it was, was yet knit by unusual asso
atoms and by a sympathy that had been re-
c procally complete They parted-each TO
return to his own land-but without promise
of correspondence; and it was some time be-
fore Bayard heard from his German friend.
The missiYe, when it came, was startling,
however 1t was a formal conveyance to him
| of an estate. to belong to him and his heirs
free gift, and given irreyersbly, as pledge
and token of friendship. The grounds were
complete, complete, the house furnished. But,
that it should in no way be a burthen to the
new owner, the assurance was added, that, as
long as the giver should live, (whose estate
and residence were adjoining,) it should be
taken care of, as if tenanted by Bayard in per-
son-hts: and in ORDER whenever he should
come, and his and in order if he never came.
He tells US now, in his letter to the Tribune,
OF his first occupancy Of Though, it is easy
to see, it is with a reluctant pen; and it is
apparent to me, also, CATER hearing his ac-
count of it in the freer scope of conversation. }
that he has under colored his description for
nrint. 1t is German home,'' all the value
and beauty of which he sensitvely hesitated
TO portray.

MONDAY MORNING, .::::DEC.
Lectures.

Our readers will be gratifed to perceive that
final and positive arrangements have been
made by the Library Association for course
of lectures. The lecturers announc d are not
all men of the widest fame, but are gentlemen
we'll known in this State as popular speakers
and talented lecturers. and the course, We are
assured will be very interesting and able
one. Every citizen should feel an interest in
securing good audiences, remembering that
the proceeds go to extend the benefits of
our excellent Library. IF the Association
shall find themselves remunerated for the ex-
penses Of the first course, they will immediate
ly make arrangements for another one. We
believe the citizens would be highly gratifed
with short course Of lectures on astronomy
from Prof. Mitchell, Of Cincinnati who is one
of the most attractive lecturers in the country.

THE REVOLUTION IN CHINA.-The rebels
against the ancient dynasty of this old En-
pire, who were supposed to have been over
come and extinguished, are again in the ascen-
dancy, and are rapidly gathering strength, and
extending their sway ovvr new provinces
They already hold large number of the prin-
eipal cities, and their authority is so per-
manently established, that the people of many
sections are adopting the new habits intro
duced by the new Government, among which
is to permit the growth of the hair, and dis
pensing with the pigtail. The reyolutionists
are inspired by some impulse hitherto a stran-
ger to the Chinese mind. Wherever they es-
tablish themselves, new life and energy is Civ
en- to the population. The old Manchur dy-
nasty is said to be at its lastgasp, and will not
be able much longer to withs tand the increas-
ing power of the rebels. The old Govern
nent is bankrupt in treasury and reputation,
and without forces to execute its internal po-
! lice; the whole country is in a state of disor-
ganization; and trade and industry is destroy
ed. Pirates ravage the coast and levy con-
tributions with impunity. Foreign merchants
have sustained heavy losses by the Interrupt
tons of trade, and have waited long for the
restoration of peace and commerce, till they
begin to despair. The old Government has
called for the aid of foreigners, but the only
ones now engaged against the rebelsare said tc
he Americans.

GOVERNMENT PAINTING OFFICE.--It is ru-
mored that joint resolution IS to be intro
duced in the early part Of the present season
for the establishment of a Government Print
ing Office, where also the binding as we'll as
all the printing both Of Congress and the de-
partment are to be executed. It is probable
that the project will be adopted
We will venture to predict if the project be
adopted the cost of the public printing will
be doubled, though it has been one Of the
pumps to exhaust the treasury and reward
Inscriptions partnership. Whatever the
Government itself attempts to do by its own
officers is badly done and costs usually four
times what private enterprise can perform the
same labor for. The building Of our public
shops--the manufacture Of arms-the build
ing Of Custom Houses, and all the works of
improvement it has of late years undertaken
to do by its own officers, have cost four times
the price at which individuals would have
constructed the same for, and done it in bet.
ter manner Instead Of attempting to do
more by public establishments and public of
ficers, it would be better for the country, to
farm out many Of the operations it now un-
dertakes to perform. Our navy could be built
by contract--our mails he carried by Express
companies-our public buildings be erected
our ordinance and arms manufactured-and
nearly all the business of the Commissioner
and Quartermaster's Department could be bet
ter done at half the cost by individual man
agement, than it now is The less the Gov
eminent attempts to do with any of the prac
teal operations Of labor or business the better
The more it yields to private enterprise ant
management the better will the country
be served The more it withdYaws itself int
its sphere making general laws and superin
tending their application better will the coun
try be governed. Leave the people more anC
more to the management Of their own affairs
and they will provide for their own wants an'
govern themselves. The operations of Gov
eminent are becoming less and less a neees

MEnpH1s.-The Bulletin draws the follow

MEMPHIS Bulletin draws the follow
ing graphic sketch Of the Bluff city:
Stately, handsome buildings, four and five
stories high, are usurping the place of vacant
lots and miserable tenements Old manufac-
tories are extending their business, new ones
are springing up. and the whirl of the spindle
and the groan of the engine is heard where
silence erstwhile held her court. Our bust
ness houses, not only in their dimensions, but
also in the extent and variety OF their stock
and beauty and elegance Of their fitting up
will compare most favorable with those Of any
other Southern or Western city. Never be-
fore has our city been so tlouriShing-never
have her prospects been so indicative Of COM
ing grcatness-never the time when her friends
were so sanguine of her ultimate success
Other cities, with quadruple her population,
and the start of years in their favor, are start
led by the giant strides with which she is adj
yancing upon the great highway to CONNER
cial power and eminence. Our bluffs are
white with the snowy products of thousand
hills-our levee resonant with the din and
hustle and turmoil of businesS-ou- streets

o. The proprietors Of the Collins line of
Mail steamers have presented a memorial to
Congress stating that they will be unable to
sustain their line in competition with the Gu
nard line, with its increased pay from the Brit
ish Government, unless our Government re-
store to the American line the compensation
taken from it by the law of the last session.
They are reluctant to yield the great ocean
supremacy we now have to England, but if
the sacrifice must be made, they ask the Gov
eminent to take their steamships and relieve
them from the heavy pecuniary loss which will
follow the suspension Of an enterprise which
they undertook at the solicitation of the Gov
crnment.

GFA successful trick was pTaCticed upon
an importer Of watches in New York, in Oc
tober last, by which he was robbed of $1,000
worth of the article. man representing him
self to be member of St. Louis jewelry
house called and desired to purchase 35 or 40
watches; he selected them, and carefully
packed them in a small box, furnished to him
by the seller; after the box was closed he de-
sired some wax to seal it. While the seller
turned to get it. he slipped away the box con-
tanning the watches under his clothes, and
substituted another resembling it in every
respect, which he sealed up, and requested to
be LAID aside, and he would call and take it
and pay the bill. After his departure in
moving the false box, the rattle within excited
suspicion, and it was opened, and found to
contain pebble stones. No trace was dis
covered of the thief till he was recognised
among the passengers on the steamer Arago
bound for Europe one day last week, and ten
or twelve of the watches were found on him,
CkT It is said there is great falling off in
the number of aspirants for the profits and
honors of the legal profession both IN England
and Ireland. This decline is attributed to
the attractions of the new fields of enter
prise in the practical professions of iie-in
commerce, manufactures--engineering, man
agement of railways-and mining enterprls-
es. And a still more agreeable reason is
found, in the diminution Of litigation, the
improvements of the courts, and the cheaper
ing Of justice; in which the establishment Of
the county courts has had great influence, and
in which the justices have jurisdiction over
matters that were formerly reserved for the
crown judges.
