LORD BACON.

The Eve years Of shame, poverty and sick
ness which followed Bacon's disgrace, are
the brightest part Of his life. lie did not
waste them in sorrow or in anger. lie felt
that !" that which is past is gone and irreco-
yerable, and that they do but triae with
themselves who labor in past matters" lie
felt that, having, as he says, wasted his best
years and his best exertions in matters for
which he was not very ft By nature, and
was more unfit BY the pre-occupation Of his
mind,r lie ought 10 dedicate the remainder
to the improvement Of mankind.
Not that Bacon was positively unfit for the
worldly struggles which nearly filed bis iirst
sixty years. he was the very best debatOr,
he was one OF the best eourtiers, and he was
one Of The best lawyers Of his time. He
gained every prize lor which he conteudtd--
wealth, favor, rank, and power.
But he was relatively unfit. Ills abilities
for practical life were great, but they we're
inferior 10 those Of several Of his cntempo-
raries. He was not so good lawyer as
Coke, or 80 guod courtier as NilliCrs and,

The humblest and the commonest Of these
virtues is frugality. BACON knew well its
importance. The Essay on Expense was
printed before he was thirty. Certainly"

VANITY or RICHES.


The vanity Of riches is seldom illustrated
so strkingly as 10 the case Of the great Eng.
Iish millionaire. Morrison. who died worth
s20,0OO.000. Il seems TO be one Of the con,
ditions Of the accumulation Of enormous
wealth in single generation, that the possess
sor shall FIRST disqnaify himself from enjoy
ing il, and IN some cases, even from appre-
ciating the fact that be holds il. Mr. Mor.
rson accumulated this almost fabulous
amount himself, and il The regular course Of
his business, without any extraordinary turn
81 fortune vet the following extract from a
letter in the Boston Post shows how lutte
benefit he permitted himself to receive from
all his wealth. What a satire il is upon the
exclusive devotion Of al the faculties TO the
mere accumulation Of property.
" Mr.. Morrison retired from active busi-
ness several yeas since, without withdrawing
bis capital from tie mercantile house. and
though managing lis vast Iund, himself Up 10
tie time of his death Will al the sagarity of
earlier days, he has for the last three years
been possessed with the idea that he should
come 10 want. Mare than two years ago he
commenced duing day labor upon farm held
BY one Of his tenants, for which he received
twelve shiilings week. aud this he continued
up to the time of bis illness. For the last
eighteen months he has been a regular appli.

Louisiana Intelligence.


Louisiana Intelligence.
In the Shreveport Southwestern, of the Sd inst,
we find the following paragraphs:
The river is recedng very slowly, and we have re-
ports of another rise above the raft.
The warm weather OF last week proved most ben
ecia to the crops, and greatly revived the spirits OF
our planters.
public meeting of the planters and others resid-
ing in the neghborhood of the Red river raft has
been called, with view Of petitoning Congress for
an additional appropriation to continue and complete
the works commenced by Colonel Fuller.
On Saturday night fire broke out in the stable OF
Mr. Joseph Howell, situated in the suburbs Of the
town. which, together with quantity OF corn and
hay, was destroyed. Supposed to have been the
work of an incendary.
The steamer Planter arrived on Thursday, loaded
with provisions and materials for the Pacific Rail
road.
DR.. Culbertson having thrown up his contract,
the work the section of railroad between Shreve-
port and the Texas line has been suspended.
The Mount Lebanon Baptist, of the 4th inst,
says:
The weather has been pleasant for the last week
rather cool for cotton. Partial showers have passed
about It is rather dry here and wherever the show
ers missed. 1t has raned here very little in the
month Of June for several years past. 1t may be sc
again.
The Lake Providence Herald, Of Saturday last
says:
We learn that quite hail storm was experienced
in the vicinity of Caledonia in this parish, on Satur
day last injurng somewhat the young corn and othe
l,tender growths.

WEATHER AND CROPS IN MIss1ssIPpI.-The Port

WEATHER AND CROPS IN M1ss1ssIPP1.-The Port
Gibson Reveie of Saturday last says
At present and for the past two weeks the weather
has been mild and pleasant but not so warm as usual
and with colder nights and mornings than we gen.
erav have at this In the face of all this we
feel free say that rarely ever saw more promls
ing corn than abounds in this county; and while the
cotton plant is not large and lnxuriant as it is
generally the stand is deemed fair one, and with
good season hereafter we may look for an average
Weld. The general answer that planters give is,
Corn is looking remarkably well-cotton doing to
eraby.'' We don't despair of clever crops.
The Yaabusha Republican of Saturday has the fol-
lowing:
Summer is upon US in full blast. Tickets for the
season are ready for distribution Already there is
much grumbling over pleasant seats.
The warm weather for several days past has brought
cotton aud corn out considerably. There is quite
warfare going on between cotton and grass, but it is
confidently thought the former will triumph.
The Macon Beacon of tire Sd inst. says:
The farmers in the prairie regions complain of toe
much rain. The grass is getting too much headway
The lice are also making rather serious nrOads or
the prospect for good stand OF cotton.
There has been more wheat sown in this and the
neghboring counties than we have ever known be
FORE and from every direction we hear that the har
vest promises well.
The corn, although nipped down by the frost onc'
or twice. promises well. 1t is commanding at presen
from the crib Is cents bushel, and some ranging
| little higher.

GEN. HENNINGsEN.-Genera Henningsen author,
soldier Of fortune, and more recently fbuster, who
arrived here yesterday afternoon in the Illinois, seems
to have led adventurous and rather brilliant
in other services and cmes previous to embarking in
the war in Nicaragua. He is native of England,
although of purely German parentage, and about
forty years Of age. At seventeen his military pro-
cves began to manifest themselves strongly that
he took part in the Carlist in Spain. and at an
age when young gentlemen are at school, had dis.
tinguished himself in many dashing exploits, gained
half dozen orders and become Colonel of Cavalry.
His career was stopped by his capture, and release
on parole not to serve again during the war. His
impressions of the country were given in work en-,
titled Twelve Months in Spain,' said to be an ami
mated and truthful picture of the war; and which
avorabIy noticed by MIR. Lockhart in article in the
| Quarterly Review.
He next served campaign with the Russian army
in the Caucasus, and wrote some =" Revelations OF
Russia" which were reproduced in the United
their struggle against the Austrians. His attention
fire arms and upon his arrival in this country, he s
perntended the construction of the first Mimic rifle
ever made here He also devoted much time to liter
ature, and wrote, among other books, " The White
Slave" picture of Russian serfdom His books
| have obtained considerable circulation, and more
substantial advantages to have attended the use
of his pen than Of his sword His foreign service has
brought him abundance of fame apparently, but very
little beside. His services in Nicaragua under Wake
are familiar to readers and probably the mos
lucky incident in his life is his escape from the COST
Rican forces with whole skin. IN. Y. Eve. Post.

DEATH OF AN OPIUM SMokER.-De rium tremens
is horrible enough but the last in the life of
old ChnAman as given by all eye witness, is more
horrible still. The victim was teacher to S. H. Wi
the Japan Expedition. The habit of opium smoking,
which the old man had contracted he attempt
ing to a5andon ; but the attempt cost him his life.
He gradually sunk into state of utter nervelessness
and emaciation painful to look upon. For week
before his death, his condition was most pitiahle
every joint in his skeleton frame seemed to be in per-
petual motion his face was CHASTITY yellow his
cheeks sunken on the bones eyes wild and CLASSY
and his mind in state of semi madness and death
when it came, was relief to the poor old man, aS
well as those who saw him die. For scenes in China

SHIPS FOR RUssIA.-We hear that the informal
agreement between the late Emperor Nicholas, of
Russia. and William H. Webb, ship-builder, of New
York city for the construction of a mammoth steam
frigate. made just prior to the breaking out of the
Eastern war, but which was rendered nugatory by
that event. has at length become positive contract,
and that the builder, thus favored, will commence
his work about the first of July. The vessel origi.
nally agreed upon was to be huge old-tashioned
three-decker, but the plans have been modified so as
to conform to the modern and most approved method
of construction. In its general character, the pro-
posed ship will resemble the new steamship Niagara,
though the model will be essentially different She
will measure over 1000 TONS and will be about 26O
feet in length by 50 in breadth The cost is esti-
mated at one million dollars. She will be a
screw steamer, and the machinery will be built at
West Point Foundry, under the superintendence of
Russian officers who are now engaged in making the
preliminary arrangements.
We also hear that it is proposed to build steamer
for the navigation of the Amoor river in Northeastern
Asia, forming the boundary between the Russian ant
Chinese empires This river is destined to become
of great commercial Importance and it is under
stood that the Russian Government intend to provide
at that point, marine railways and every facility 70
