CRY ASSESSMENT Roll FOX 1S57.-Thc
city assessment roll for the year 1857 has
been put into the hands of the city col
lector for collection. The roll foots up
S464, 1852 90, and the taxes levied this
year amount to $5, 800 90, for city pur-
poses, and 81, 16O 90 for school purposes.
The amount levied for city purposes, We
presume, will be appropriated to the pay
ment Of the interest on the bonds issued
in May, 1855. With prudent manage
mcnt, our city fathers can soon place the
city out Of debt, which we doubt not they
arc DESTROYS Of doing as soon as may be.
We arc anxious for the liquidation of
these floating bonds, that the city may
be relieved from the paying of such large
sums of interest money. Once out of
debt, our revenues may be expended in
substantial improvements that will bene-
fit and adorn the city.

PoLITIcAL.-In the Atlantic States the
Democracy carried everything before
them. Only vestigc Of Know Nothing
ism remains to "point moral or adorn
a tale" States heretofore overwhelming
ly against the Democracy have thrown
aside their prcjudices and joined the party
that "carrics the flag and keeps step to
the music Of the Union" Tennessee,
the Washington Union says, elects Gen.
Harris by q majority exceeding ten thous-
and-thc largest majority given any can
tiidate since the days Of jackson. The
Legislature is also strongly Democratic,
insuring the election of two Democratic
U. S. Senators. Out of the ten members
Of Congress the Democrats have elected
eight, a gain Of three. In Texas and Ala
bama it was all e-sidcd-all Democratic.
North Carolina and Kentucky followed
in the footsteps Of their illustrious prcde-
cesssors." In the latter State, says the
New York J0HrnW Of Commerce., "ncxt
winter, for the first time since 1925 or
1928, a Legislature containing Democrat.
&c majority will assemble at Frankfort,
the capital Of Kentucky. The opposition
had permanent and enduring ascenden-
cy in that body that never could be shaken
in the least. But now, with the dawning
Of the new era that marks the reaction
everywhere in favor of Democracy, Ken
lucky wheels valiantly into the line; and
there she will remain hereafter" In Mis-
souri, tho result is still doubtful; the
Benton party fused with the Know Moth
ings and voted for Rollins, which may
have elected him. Rollins was the In
dependent Republican American Benton
candidate, and all the factions and isms
that disgrace Missouri united on him.

you taken rice z" 1t were we'll worth the
time necessary for inquiry. to undertake a
computation Of the quantity of rico re-
quired to subsist the vast population who
live upon it almost exclusively +; for it would
not be far from the aggregate quantity pro-
duced in the Empire. And the figures of
the total would be more astonishing than
they are in our calculation of the cotton
and tobacco crops.
We have touched this novel and rather
curious point of commercial and agricultu-
raj investigation, with the hope of eliciting
as we'll as contributing information concern
ing the resources Of that vast empire, to
which public attention is now more than
ever directed.

Hitherto he had wandered, studied and
painted, only to crafty his love Of nature.
In 1924, Lucien Bonaparte proposed to buy
his drawings. lie resolved to publish them
himself 1t could not be done in America :;
he landed in England stranger. Roscoe
received the wondrous woodman with open
arms. His drawings were exhibited in Ed
inburgh; men Of rank and tnste extended
to him hospitality; he passed the severest
scrutiny of art and learning, and stood by
the side Of 1Icrsche, Cuvier and Humboldt,
as father of science, and in art master
without n rival. With Scott, Brewster,
Wilson and Jeffrey for companions, he DO.

1t was completed in London, in fourteen
years, and his fame was established. One
hundred and scventy-tivc subscribers, at
81, 900 each, most of them obtained by
himself in person, and eighty Of whom
were his own countrymen, rcmuncratcd his
vast undertaking. The learned societies Of
Europe proffered to him their honors but
he received with more pride than all, the
crown Of the Royal Society Of London
He published synopsis Of his great work
Mt Edinburgh and finally, in 1880, weary
with years and covered with honors, he re-
turned home, bringing will. him all his
original dsawings. lie rcpublished the
work in New York, in royal octave, and

began another work, 1.-The Quarupeds of
North America (which was completed
last year, with applause and success. In
speaking Of these works, particularly the
last, mention shoull be made of his two
sons, whose accomplishments in art and
science have been so useful to their father.
The ornithologist is now reposing in his
grave, and but few men have ever attained
worldwide reputation such MS his. 1t is
not in the keeping of history alone. From
every deep grove, the birds Of America
will sing his name; the wren will pipe it
at our windows; the oriole carol it from
the meadow grass; the turtle dove roll it
through the secret forests ; the many voiced
knocking bird pour it along the evening air,
and the bird Of Washington, from his crag,
gy home far up the Rocky Mountains, will
scream il to the tcmpcsts aud the stars.

SPRING


Stern and rugged winter has at length
yielded beneath the genial rays of vcrnal
sun. Spring, the balny season Of delight,
has made another advent upon us, and soon
will "drown the earth in beauty" The
pleasantness Of the season is greatly in
creased by the power Of contrast. Only n
few weeks have passed since the earth was
cold and frozen, and the icy winds and mcr-
ciless blasts were bowling dismaly around
our dwellings and through the lcafless for
ests. But now, where the earth was stiff
and frozen, flowers are smiling in the sun
light, the clambcring jasamine perfumes
the softcned breeze the swcet-scented vio-
let has risen from its once icy bed; the gay
jonquil, the gaudy daffotliI, tho rich luxu-
RANT hyacinth, and the meck-eyed star of
Bethlehem soon will wave their heads to
the dcwy morn. The lilac and Towering
almond already nod in friendly greeting,
and the queenly rose will ere long unmnsk
its glowing petals. All nature is awaken
ing to the glad influences of the season,
and the fertile soil is already bursting with
incipient evidence Of her coming bounty.
The fresh and tender grass is springing up
and the wildwood forcst-the hill and dale
are putting on their emerald robe, that
"grecn memorial Of EARTH" The fruit
trees bloom in beauty, (but alas the chill
ling frosts have shipped the shoot.) and
tho snowy-blossomcd dogwood-E.ir rs a
bride at Hymen's altar-present charm
ing freshness to the forest landscape. Tree,
hedge and grove are vocal with the wild
birds carol. The harLingers Of spring re,
joics in songs Of love, that the long, cold
winter has passed and gone. And while
all nature is thus blithe and happy, mans
nature responds in sympathy to the sweet
influences Of the season. Life, to the young,
is but bright vision of happiness, and
hope g'Ids the future with tho gayest colors.
"Lofty aspirations, deep affections and holy
hopes" are the delight Of youth. Tie
young heart is "attuned TO holicst SYM
phonies. with music in it's strings" And
before it is withered by the noon-day sun,
or stricken down by the frosts Of age, it
may rapturously exclain, 40 Life, thy
name is love and beauty; thy joys are full,
thy looks most fair, thy feelings pure and
sensitive!"
When the vernal season is rightly ap-
preoiated, it brings balm and comfort TO
the couch Of pain, and these should not he
lost upon the strong and the robust. The
tarmoils of life and the cares of bussiiuresst 1
should not deaden our sensibjlities to tiIe
charms Of spring. Even the aged, 81 tihis
happy season, can revisit the 81 ssi,esceiul
grove where first great nature charmed
their young vision" and there shs Il asis.
