world and gain proud name among the sons
of commerce must be very chary how they trl-
he with her.
The victory to be gained in conquering self
is greater than any other; the triumph to be
achieved in the commercial world by those who
patiently struggle on true to themselves and
their calling, is indeed mighty; the earth grows
rich at their bidding, where before were barren
waste; the seas are covered with their sails,
bearing civilization to the furthest corners OF
the world; towns raise in grandeur where mean
novels late stood and peace and justice shines
out more brightly on the path of commerce.
How pitiful are the fleet pleasures which ex-
travagance offers to its votaries, in comparison
with the solid happiness which is derived from
mercantile integrity and enterprise.

LouSGEss IN PRINTING Orr1ez.-The COM
posing room of printing Office is not the place
abstruse points in metaphysics. Read, 20 loun'
gers, and be advised:
A printing Office is like school it can have
no interlopers, hangers on, or twaddlers, with
out serious Inconvenience, to say nothing of
loss of time, which is just as good as gold to
tho printer, as though it metalically glistened
in his hand. What would be thought of man
who would enter school, and twaddle, first
with the teacher, and then with the scholars
intcrrupting the discipline Of ono, and the stu
dies of the other? And yet this is the precise
effect of the loafer in the printing Office. He
seriously interfercs with the course of business,
distracts the great attention which is necessary
to the good prnter. No gentleman will ever
enter it and presume to act loafer. He will
feel above it, for no real man ever sacrifices the
interests or interferes with the duties of others
The loafer does both. Let him think, if he
ever has, that the last place he should ever in
sinuate his worthless and unwelcome presence,
is in the printing Office.

A CAROLINA PIrcHER.-Through tho attention
of friend engaged on the South Carolina Rail
Road, we have received from Holman, Curtis u
Co., Of Augusta, Ca, pitcher from the factory
of the "Southcrn Porcelain Manufacturing Com
pauy," whose works have been lately established
at kaolin.
The superior quality of the materials furnished
at that vicinity for fine porcelains aid earthen-
ware has long been known, and has been made
available for factories located elsewhere. 1t at.
fords us however, peculiar qualification to note
the successful application OF manufacturing re-
sources on the spot, and we tender our best wish

THE MOVEMENT IN CASADA.-The people Of
Canada appear to be getting tired of receiving
the runaways slaves of the United States: They
find them to be an unimproftablc addition to
their population, and are endearorins to devise
means of obtaining relief from their presence:
1t is proposed to have them sent to the British
West India Islands, which are already overstoc cE
ed with idle and worthless free negroes. If sent
there, they will only add to the already bad con-
dtion of those Islands, for they will not work
for a livelihood, and must depend for support
mainly upon PUBLIC charity.

BEEF PACKING IN Ca1cAGo.-The Chicago
Press predicts that moro beef will be packed i'll
that city this season than ever before. This es.
innate is prcdicated upon the fact that very large
contracts have already been made, and, also
that the grass on the prairies is very luxuriant
and water abundant, thus increasing both the
quality and weight. 1t adds:
Of those already contracted for we hear OF
5000 head at 81 cents, gross weight; $500 head
at cents; and 5000 head at a triAe below ,
cents. There is little probability, however, OF
any further contracts being made this season
below 3i-perhaps none below 3d.

LOUIS NAPOLEON And THE REV. MR.. STEWART.

A correspondent of the New York Times
writing from Paris, under date August 3, says !:
Louis Napoleon has just performed al act to-
ward an American citizen which glTeS one a
better opinion of his heart. You will recollect
that some time ago, when it was the fashion in
the United States for seekers after questionable
kind of reputation to relate how many times
they had seen Louis Napoleon drunk, or in
euuiroca positions in New York, or how often
they had chinked glasses with him, or lent him
money (that was sure to be yet owing.) Rev.
Mr.. Stewart, chaplain in the United States
Navy, published long letter, in which he dis
proved entirely these reports, and showed from
incontestible evidence that the Princes conduct
while in the United States was that of we'll
bred gentleman, and such Us became nan in
his position Of life.
Mr.. Stewart is now in Paris and few days
ago the Emperor, learning his presence here
through member Of the imperial family, to
whom Mr.. Stewart was known, sent word to
him from Pomberes that he would be glad to
see him. Mr.:Stewart accordingly repaired to
Plombieres, was most ahectionately received by
his majesty, warmly thanked for his disinterest-.
ed defence Of IFS Gbafacter,f and retained him
in his society during all of one day. Mr.. S.
returned to Paris delighted with his reception,
and telling wonders Of his maesty's hospitality
and kindness. According to Mr. Stewards re-
port of his interview, Louis Napoleon enter
tains lively soEreni, OF his visit to the United
States predicts the most magnificent destiny
for the American people, hopes to remain i'll
peace with them, and 10 be more and more con-
nectcd in commercial relations, ard (ct the
office seekers take noticc) expressed great ad-
mration for the present American Minister at
Paris, and hoped that no change would take
place.
