A CHARGE OF CAvALRY.-The following extract
from letter in a Calcutta paper, narratng the par.
ticuars of the encounter between British and Per.
sian forces gives good idea of charge of cavalry.
"When Forbes, who had commanded this regi-
men gave the order to charge, he and his adutant,
young Moore, place themselves in front of the 9th
troop, which was the directly opposite the near
est face Of the square. The other Moore, Malcolm
sons and Spens, came the least thing behind, riding
if racing after stag. In the of them rushed
on the dark troopers of the Sd, mad to avenge the
death of poor Maet at Bushire. In spite of steel,
fire and bullets, they tore down upon the nearest
face of the devoted square. As they approached.
Forbes shot through the thigh and Spens's horse
was wounded; but unheeding they swept onward.
Daunted by the flashes and the fire and the noise
and crackle of the musketry, the younger Moores
horse swerved as they came up.
Dropping his sword from his hand and letting it
hang by the knot at the wrist he caught up the
rens in both hands screwed the horses head straight
and then cooly if riding at fence leaped him at
have been first, the younger Moore is the man.
Of course the horse fell stone dead upon the bay.
onets so did his brothers ridden with equal cour.
age and determination. The elder Moore-1S stone
in weight, and feet whereabouts in heigh,-cut
his way out on foot. Malcomson took one loot out
of his strrup when he saw his brother officer down
and unarmed, (for his sword had been broken by
the fall and holding on to that the younger Moore
escaped. The barrier once broken and the entrance
once made, through it poured the avenging troop.
On and over everything they rode, till, getting
clear out, they reformed the other side wheeled
and swept back-a second wave of ruin. Out of
500 Persian soldiers of the LIST regular regiment of
Ears, who composed that fated square, only twenty
escaped to tell the tale of its destruction.

A FAcr.-A correspondent from the country
writes that his contribution to New York COM
merce through the medium of the coast wise trade,
and the parasites which cling to it. amounted out of
his last wheat crop, to five hundred dollars where
as his State tax did not amount to one hundred dol
lars. He estimates that all the charges upon his
purse growing out of the dependent relations of
Virginia on the North, amount to but little under
Thousand dollars per annum." Rich South.
The above applies with as much force to. North
Carolina as to Virginia. Our State taxes tri-
ae compared with the tribute which we pay to the
Northern and Eastern States. We pay in the first
place, not less than three millions Of dollars per
mum in tarlf.taxes and the amount paid besides in
commissions for freight, storage and exchange is
unknown, but must be very large.
But, some one asks, what of all this? We an
swer it proves that the Union is of more substan-
tial benefit to the North than it is to the South and
it should stimulate upon all occasions to demand
and insist upon all our Constitutional rights. The
North will not throw away all these advantages and
benefits for the anti-slavery sentiment. 1t shows
also the Importance Of internal improvements in the
South and the strong necessity of opening from
ports direct trade with Europe And it should
also teach to bear State taxes with more pa
tence and composure, seeing that they may benefit
us, while the millions which We are annually contri-
butng to the general government and to the North,
operate constant drains upon our energies and

The FOREIGN APPOINTMENTS interest is ev-
identity felt throughout the county in reference to
the foreign appointments. This arises partially
from the fact that never at any former pariod have
there been SO large number of excellent names
presented for these appointments. The President
will obviously be embarrassed in his selections not
only by the number of applicants, but by the mum.
whom he would be glad, doubtless, to crafty. But
of course, the appointments must be bounded by the
offices to be filled, and not one in ten we under
stand, of those recommended for missions abroad
can be successful. We think we may add safely
from what we have learned this subject that the
proportion will be much less as to the valuable con-
sulates Some of these were flied by appointments
made under the late administration within the last
two years, and are not likely, suppose, to be i'm.
mediately changed.
1t is understood that the Recommendation of the
applicants before the President, and that he
will gradually make appointments as circumstances
may justify and his own time may permit It cannot
be expected, of course, that he will despatch the
whole foreign list in a mornings work, and maxi
summary changes everywhere, for this would be alb
surd. And whatever may be his general policy as
to renewing representation abroad, we are quite
that, even as to places which he may intend to
fill, and whose occupants have not yet asked leave
to return home he will employ no unreasonable
abruptness in recalling them or in any other man.
ner give them just occasion for complaint. In the
mean time the applications, everybody knows,
are all on file with recommendations in support OF
them, and multitudes can bear witness to the ma.
tience with which the President has listened to the
friends of the applicants themselves. 1t WILL we feel
confident, be source of deep regret to him that in
appointing one valued friend, he may be Obliged TO
disappoint ten who are equally esteemed

Improvements in Capitol Square.

Under resolution of the last General Assembly
his Excellency Gov Bragg has contracted for

progress for placing it in the Capitol Square. The
statue is to be of bronze, life sze and is to repre-
sent the immortal Father o: his Country in Revolu
tionary citizens dress, erect, with in his
hand. 1t is to be cast by Mr.. w. j, HUBBARD, Of
Virginia from Houdon's marble statue of WASH
1NGroN in the rotunda of the Virginia Capitol. The
likeness is said to be the best ever taken. The
statue is to be placed midway between the gate and
the Southern front of the capitol; and Messrs
Maunder and Campbell, the contractors for the
stone work, are now engaged in preparing the Pc
destal. The cost of the statue will be $4,000.
Mr.. Hamilton, professional gardener, is now en-
gagged, also under resolution of the last General
Assembly and the immediate supervision and direc-
ton of the Governor, in laying off and improving
Capitol Square. Circular and serpentne walks
will be made, gravelled, the sides turfed, and the
grounds generally improved and embellished. Rus

oaks in various parts of the Square.
