SOUTHERN MINNEsoTA.-We learn that
the emigration this season, thus, far. has been
at leas, so per cent. less than the elnigra-
ton of 1856. Kansas has taken great
many emigrants, who Otherwise would
have gone to Minnesota. Also, the ex-
cessively cold winter of 1857 has induced
emicrants to settle farther South during
the present season. A mild winter in
1853 would materially change the flood
of emigration. Kansas has obtained thous-
ands of settlers under the conviction that
we are to have continuance of the cold
winters Of the past two years.

FASHIONABLE DEMONSTRATION kills
more women than toll or sorrow. Obedl-
ence to fashion is great ttansgresslon Of
the laws Of woman's nature, greater IN
jury to her physical aud mental constitu-
ton, than the hardships of poverty aud
neglect. The slave woman at her task
will live and grow old, and see two OF
three generations of her mlstresses pass a
way.
The washerwoman, with scarcely ray
of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will live
70 see her fashionable sisters all die around
her, and the kitchen maid is hearty and
strong when her lady has to be nursed like
q sick child. 1t is sad truth that fash
-pampered women are almost worthless
for all the great ends of human life. They
have but little force Of character; they
have still less power Of moral will, and
quite as little physical energy. They live
for no purpose; they accomplish no worthy
end: they are only doll forms, in the hands
of milliners and servants, to be dressed and
fed to order. They dress nobody, and save
nobody. They write no books; they set
no rich examples of virtue and womanly
life. If they rear children, servants and
nurses do it all, save to conceive and give
them birth. And, when reared, what are
they! What do they ever amount to, but
weaker scions of the old stock? Who
ever heard of fashionable woman exhib-
iting any power of mind for which she be-
came eminent? Read The biographies Of
great men and women, who had about as
little to do with fashions, as with the chan.
DING of clouds.

The DRIFT OF THE CABLE.--The force
of the under current of the Ocean was
demonstrated BY the drift Of the sub ma
rine cable, the Niagara had made from ESQ
to $50 miles in direct course from Val
encia harbor; and the length of the cable
that had been let go was about $50 miles.
AT this rate of loss, the cable, although
six hundred miles longer than the direct
distance between the two shores, would
not have been long enough to reach the
western terminus.

THE GREAT PENNSYLVANIA HAIL STORM
H ALL Two FEET DEEP.-The Waynes
burg (Pa.) Messenger says that very Sc
we're hail-storn visited Green county, near
Freeport, last Saturday:
'The hail came down in perfect tor
rent; the stones varied from the size Of a
partridge to that of a hens egg, and came
with such force, and in such quantities, as
to do great damage to nearly everything in
the track of the storm. Shinge roofs
were split to pieces, and the growing corn
was perfectly stripped of its blades and
shoots, the apple-trees left naked of leaves
and arren of fruit, the buckwheat was en-
tirely destroyed, the forest trees left al
most as naked as in mid winter and the
fruit trees of all kinds were almost entirely
stripped of their foliage and fruit. The
fowls which were without shelter were kill
ed by the weight and force of the hail
stones. Mr.. Dunn exhibited to us his
hands, which were much bruised and
swollen from the peltings received while
holding his horses. He assured us that at
ter the storm he had driven through banks
of hal, st ones from two to three feet deep.
We have no doubt from all we have heard
that this was one of the severest and most
destructive hail storms that has ever visit
ed any portion Of this country. The With
of the track is estimated to be from half a
mile to mile"
DI,;r.ril{o fEn CT crrp Fl 80 miles
in width, destroying the gardens, grain,
and grass. Piles of hail remained III the
gardens on Sunday evening.

is reported to have on board 525 passen-
gers, mostly returning Californians. This
number probably included the ships off

those who were expecting friends from
California, who think they possibly may
have been on board and lost, will not re-
main long in suspense. The sorrow that
the awful calamity must inevitably carry
to many families cannot be written, weigh
ed or estimated. The amount of gold that
went down is counted at about two millions
of dollars, and grain by grain it was all

Every one of that five hundred who went
down would at that moment have given, if

be deplored, and with reason too, by many
who were anticipating its arrival at New

Natures Secrets Devefoped-Pro
gress of Discovery.

Solomon was right in literal sense
when he declared there was nothing new
under the SUM-" The elements of all that
WIS, and is, and is to be, in the world of
art and science, exist and have existed
from the time of the creation, and all we
call new" is simply the discovery, devel-
opment and application of pre-existng
facts and principles. Blood always cileu-
lated, the vaccine matter was always capa-
bic Of preventing or modifying SMALLPOX,
metal had a peculiar affinity for the cleo
trio fluid from the days of Adam. Har-
vey, Jenner and Franklin invented nothing
new, for strictly speaking, God alone III
cents; but they are entitled TO the graft
tude of posterity on the ground of having
discovered and benefcialy applied secrets
of Nature, which were doubtless intended
by the Creator to be developed by the fac
ulties of man.
The basis of the most important RENE
dies of the modern materia questionably
existed in the patriarchal age, although
they remained useless, until research had
discovered, chemistry prepared, and exper-
iment tested them. Thousands OF the
sick in former ages died, and were buried
in the very soil from which science has
since delivered the medicinal roots that
would have ministered to their cure. The
terrible external diseases, on which the Old
Testament dwels SO forcibly, and which
even at the dawn of the Christian era were
seldom cured, except by miraculous inter
position, are now relieved through the less
direct though not less benevolent agency
of Providence, in the application of natural
means to the same end. Man in the nine
teenth century, aided by the light of sci
ence, derives from roots and herbs, upon
which his progenitors for eighteen hundred
years had ignorantly trampled, specifics
for the foulest and most terrible diseases
which afflict the human family.
