The Celebration at Jamestown, Va.

The celebration of the 250th anniver-
sary of the settlement of Virginia,
which took place at jamestown, is de-
scribed as having been worthy of the
events commemorated, and of the
amor pasrie Of those present. The Pc
tersburg Express brings us the follow
ing in reference to the affair:
"The crowd on the grounds is vari-
ously estimated at from six to eight
thousand, including sixteen military
companies from Richmond, Portsmouth,
Norfolk and Petersburg. Alarge num-
ber of ladies graced the scene with
their presence, and added greatly to
the beauty and attractions Of the impo-
sing display. Sixteen steamers, many
of them frst-class, were anchored in
the stream, all gayly dressed with flags,
and streamers which haunted in the
breeze, and presented a scene at once
beautiful and picturesque. Several
bands Of music were also on the
ground, sending forth their enlivening
notes, and adding largely to the inter.
est of the commemoration.
"The site selected for the ceremo.
MES was plat of about ten acres, on
the very spot where large portion Of
the houses of the colonists were built,
and Of which now scarcely trace is
discernable. Suitable stands for ora
tors were erected, and all necessary

WESTERN SETTLEMENT.

1t is trite but at the same time a
profoundly true remark, that we can
secure no great good without some
incidental evil-which is equivalent
to saying that there is no such thing
as unmixed good in the world. This
holds true of the present unexampled
emigration to the West. Some years
ago the Rev. DIR. Bushnell devoted a
labored and eloquent discourse to the
illustration of what he was pleased to
call "the barbarian tendencies OF
western emigration" and he made out
quite plausible case. He instanced
the disruption of family and noighbor-
ly ties, the breaking up of religious
associations, and the general neglect
of social charity, which are often the
necessary incidents of leaving old
communities and the founding of new
in far distant regions. That these
things were so, all could see as well
as DR.. Bushnell His error lay in
supposing that any permanent evi
could result from their necessarily
temporary existence. He did no
seem to understand that the results o
emigration to the West from the ole
States was not a mere removal Of is
olated, struggling individuals, rudely

CHARITY.

Night kissed the young rose and it
bent softly to sleep. Stars shone,
and pure dew-drops hung upon it's bo-
som and watched it's sweet slumbers.
Morning came with its dancing breczes
and they whispered to the young rose,
and it awoke joyous and smiling
Lightly it swung to and fro in all the
loveliness of health and youthful limo.

god sweeping from the east, and smote
the young rose with it's scorching
rays and it tainted. Deserted and al
most broken, it bent to the earth
in it's loveliness and despair. Now
the gentle breeze, which had been
gamboling over the sea, pushing on
the home-bound bark, sweeping over
hill and dale-by the neat cottage and
still brook-turning the old mill, fam
ming the brow of disease, and frisking
the curls of innocent childhood-came
tripping along on her errand of mercy
and love and when she saw the young
rose, she fastened to kiss it, and fond
ly bathed its head in cool, refreshing
showers, and the young rose revived
and looked, and smiled in gratitude to
the kind breeze; but she hurried quick.
ly away for she soon perceived that a
delicious fragrance had been poured
upon her wings by the grateful rose
and the kind breeze was glad in heart,
and went away singing through the
trees. Thus charity, like the breeze,
gathers fragrance from the dropping
flowers it refreshes, and unconscious.
ly reaps reward in the performance
of its Office Of kindness which steals
on the heart like rich perfume, to bless
and to cheer.

NOBLE SpIRr.-The Missouri Demo-
crat, a journal of the Jackson school
of democracy published at St. Louis,
is doing excellent service to the cause
Of emancipation in that State. 1t has
been an organ of Benton, but in view
Of his repudiation of the emancipation
movement it says:
"Others may abandon the field and
forget their faith, and shrink from the
issue but we are not Of such stuff.
The banner has been unfurled too
long to be stricken now it is glorious
with too recent victories, to be trail
ed in the dust of this day and we
proclaim it, therefore, that come the
assault from what quarter it may,
and be the opponents whoever may
see fit to engage, zee shall stand TO
those eolors as long as ribbon Of them

NEWSPAPERS AND EDITORS. What mil.
lions of News apers are daily read on
this round earth And how little
thought do the mass of readers cast
back on the curtain behind which
this type-leviathan, the newspaper
press, plumes itself for the instruc-
ton and amusement Of the world
How little do they know of the toll
and unrest which a multitude of men,
tai genii undergo daily, in preparing
the banquet Of intellect and humor for
their rapacious palates. They take
up the newspaper, bright and scintil-
ating ; it amuses, interests, or charms
them; and not one but thinks this
product of hand and brain--more bril-.
liant than the sorccrer's enchantment

mass, the editor is Alternative, weari.
less, ubiquitous. He can give them
sermons and sonnets, political ccono-
mics and philosophical distractions,
monody or a joke, an eulogy or an
epltaph, as readily as the tree shaken
by gusty wind, drops it's ripened
fruit: Days, months, and years, put
up the unrecreative, his brain seems
to them of endless capacity. He can
think OF them, make their opinions aud
in word, tell them what all the world
Is about, what it has been about, and
what it will be about to the end of
time. And for all this, to them seem
ingly simple labor--in reality might
ier than all other progressive and rev.
olutionary forces--they pay from one
to to three dirty pennies per day, and
there their peculiar care for the edit
ors trials and enjoyments end.

COMPLIMENT TO SENATOR SuMNER.-Mr
Sumner, who is now sojourning in
Paris, was rendered a public dinner
by the American merchants residing
in that city, which was declined. In
Galignani's Messenger, we find the
correspondence. In his letter, Mr..
Summer says he is admonished by the
state of his health, which is yet far
from its natural vigor, not to listen to
the invitation and concludes in the
following eloquent terms
"But cannot turn coldly from the
the opportunity you offer me. My
heart overhows with best wishes for
yourselves individually and also for
the commerce which you conduct.
mingled with aspirations that your
influence may always add to the
welfare and Just renown of our country.
As American merchants at Paris, you
are representatives Of the United
States on foreign mission, without
diplomatic salary or diplomatic privi-
lege. But it belongs to the felicity Of
your position that what you do well
for yourselves will be well for your
country, and, more than any diple-
macy, will contribute to strengthen
the friendly ties Of two powerful ma
tions.
Pardon the allusion when l add
that you are the daily Industrious
workmen in that mighty loom, whose
frame stands on the coasts Of opposite
continents ; whose threads are the
Atlantic voyages whose colors are
the various enterprises and activities
of beneficent commerce, and whose
well wrought product is a radiant
speaking tissue-more beautiful tc
the minds eye than any fabric Of rar
est French skill, more marvellous thar
any tapestry woven for kings-where
every color mingles with every thread
in completest harmony and on the
grandest scale to display the trilmphI
and the blessings of peace"

EAGLE WORKS MACHINERY DEpor OF
GATES, WARNER, CHALMERS & FRASER, CHI
cAeo, ILL.-Within the last year, the
proprietors of this extensive estab-
lishment have erected one three story
brick building, 7S by 100 feet, one
frame boiler shop, so by 100 feet, and
| one frame foundry SO by $50 feet
These, in addition to their three for

structures, make this probably the
largest and most extensive manufac-

demands of the great West; and it
is pleasure to the consumers to know
that every month brings them nearer
the time when they shall not be de-

necessities and convenience of our
great country.
