the Mississippi. 1t may be St. Paul, or St. Anthony,
or Saltwater, or Teepeotah. St. Paul, perhaps possesses
more of the necessary qualifications than the others.
It is seated in the centre of a rich agricultural region;
it commands the navigation Of many great rivers; it
is in the reach of the only great forests of the western
country is the centre of numerous Railways and would
seem destined to become a home of commerce, the me-
tropolis to which Fond-du-Lac and Superior must be
the Ostie, the port, the warehouse and docks. At Su-
perior city will be located the depots which must be sub
sidiary to the commercial London which has its seat
at the head Of twenty thousand miles of river naviga'
ton.
We propose, in a future article, to give our reasons
for believing that the only practicable route, north of
Texas, for a Pacific Railroad, is the socalled Northern
route. We believe it susceptible of proof that this is
the shortest and most natural less obstructed by SHOWS
and better provided with the necessary building ma
terials; that in fine it presents the only surmountable
grades. We shall attempt to show that therefore an
early effort must be made to connect the Lakes with
the Pacific Ocean-that merchandise must flow thither
where is less transportation by rail and where broad
waters extend into a heart Of a continent in a manner
which presents a channel for the trade of hemispheres.
Our argument will tend to prove that the great distri-
buting point of the continent will be near the extremity
of Lake Superior and that here, upon the w%esternmost
limit Of water-navigation, the Exchange will be made
between the products Of golden India and the manu-
features Of combined Europe.

systematic Emigration.

Some time ago we spoke in reference to the advantage
Of systematized emigration, and advocated it as a pubic
work, by which the West would be the gamer. There
have been efforts made, heretofore, to carry out various
plans, by which emigration would be promoted from the
old country there have also been colonies transplanted
from the old to the new world, where agents have gone
ont and prepared everything for their direct transporta'
ton. Sometimes these communities have been religious,
sometimes political, and in two or three instances a pure
iy social experiment. So far as we have ever learned
all, with the exception Of the latter, have reaped great
benefit from having combined arrangements. But the
great body of emigration has never, until lately, received
any attention, to lessen their difficulties and expenses,

even more valuable than its pecuniary advantages. The

completely precluded by this plan. We trust it may
be widely extended and perpetuated.

The Ea rthernware Trade of the United
States.
A banquet was lately given at the La Pierre House,
Philadelphia, by the earthenware dealers Of that city, to
their brethren Of other cities. Mr.. Hacker, President
of the Philadelphia Earthenware Board of Trade, in his
remarks, gave the following statistics
THE earthenware trade of the United States, although
limited in amount when compared with other depart
ments Of trade and commerce, iMyet of vast importance
to the interests of the country. 1t gives the reward of
labor to some thousands in the potteres Of Sta6ordshire,
England. It's bulk is so great in comparison with the
value Of the article, that it gives employment to large
numbers Of the laboring classes in this country, in the
departments Of packing, storing, draying, &C., and it is
of vital importance to the shipping interests Of the world;
for the groundwork of almost every ship chartered in
Liverpool for this country and fM other distant places is
crates of earthenware and china. tz4 8.
tThe number Of packages of earthenware shipped
years averages abor. 100000 crates per annum the en-
tire shipmehts from Liverpool "a all parts Of the world
average about 10000 per anh4A tho United States
therefore receive more than one-half Of all the q~Aa4as5
THE bulk Of 10000 crates is equal to 2l2, 900 tuns
measurement, and would load 212 ships ola thousand
tuns each being four ships a week for all the year.
You can see at a glance how important is the manu-
facture of this article to the shipping interest.
sThe vast amount of freight that is given to our rail
roads and canals in this country is equally important,
for the revenue Of it is very heavy, although the value
of it is insignificant when compared to many other ar
ticles that are sold and forwarded to all parts of our con-
tinent; yet the freight is paid on bulk and weight
The average freight from England to the United
States is abont five per cent. on. its cost; the average
freight from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh is about the
same.
sThe manufacture of earthenware can be traced, and
has been the means of preserving the evidences of past
civilization, as far back as the Tower of Babel. 1t is
not now confined to England, but is made in some form
in every country on the globe. The Chinese, the Japan
csc and the French are now famed for the magni6cence
Of these articles of porcelain and indeed, the French
China manufacture is becoming great source of revenue
to this government, and is now a staple article Of use in
all parts of the United States.

Come forth a martial band,
Who hoped their country's cause to serve
Upon a foreign strand
They hear the loud reveille beat,
But not for battle fray,
And come the last dread foe to meet
In resolute array.

Like tyrant cleft the tide,
Uplifting with a tlunder-voice
Its boast of wrath and pride;
While deeper sigh'd the solemn sea.

Deploring with a grief profound
The many wrecks she makes
And though DER many an argosy
Her whelming pillows swept,
Naught nohler than those British hearts
In her cold bosom slept.

EDUCATION at the west.

In responding to a toast at the dinner of the Alumni
of Harvard University, Hon. Edward Everett spoke as

YARD everywhere / went-beyond the Ohio, beyond the
Mississippi, | could not 60 where | was nqtsurrounded
by those who came to me as the studentSof Harvard
College (applause); and it is to me one of the most de-
lightful considerations that the influence of our benevo
lent Alma Mater is not bounded to the little ~geographi-
cal district in which it is situated, not confined to Mas
sachusetts, but in the remotest parts of our continent
her name is held in veneration, her influence is acknowl-
edged, and there too, better yet, her example is closely
followed.
Let me tell you that more is doing for education, pop
ular; academical and professional, in the West than you
are perhaps aware Of. In that noble queen city ofthe west
Cincinnati, accompanied by a nephew of President King,
a child himself Of Harvard, l visited schools that must
tell my friend DR.. Shutleff, will compare very well with
those of Boston in which he takes so deep an interest,"
And if Boston intends to maintain that reputation of
taking the lead in school instruction which she has here
tofore enjoyed, she must look carefully and diligently to
the superintendent Of her institutions Of learning.
1t was the same thing in Chicago. I saw beautiful
school houses there-equal to any in Boston. In St.
Louis I saw the noblest arrangements for education, and
I trusted that ! should have the qualification of the at
tendance Of a worthy gentlemen of St. Louis. Judge
Treat, who has taken a great interest in promoting the
educational interests of st. Louis, and a warm and at
fectionate son Of Harvard, and he is only prevented from
being here to-day by a railroad accident, which confines
him to his home at the present time. Nothing else
would have deferred him from coming. But I am happy
to say that another most excellent friend from that re-
gion, who has done as much for education as any living
man, east or west, who has been one of the most active
individuals in building up the hopeful institution that is
now rising on the banks Of the Mississippi, under the
name of the Washington Institution, in the State Of
Missouri, is here with us to day. We cannot boast Of
him as an Alumnus of the academical branch of our in
stitution, but he has been a student in one of our pro-
fcssional schools, and I am sure if you knew as much of
the interest he has felt and taken in the cause of educa-
ton in the West as I do, you would say with me, cum

Health and Climate.
" " 49,

Sir James Clark, of England, has assailed with con
siderable force the doctrine that a change of climate il
beneficial to persons suffering from consumption and 9
French physician, NJ. Carriere, has written forcibly
against it. DR.. Burgess, an eminent Scotch physician,
also contends that climate has little or nothing to de
with the cure of consumption, and that if it had, the
curative effects would be produced through the skin and
not the lungs. That a warm climate is not in Itself
beneficial, he shows from the fact that the disease is
common to all ATTITUDES. In India and Africa, tropical
climates, it is as frequent as in Europe and North
America. At Malta, right in the heart of the genial Me.
diterranean, the army reports of England show that one
third Of the deaths among the soldiers are by consump-
ton. AT Nice, a favorite resort of English ~invalids,
especially those afflicted with lung complaints, there are
more native.born persons die Of consumption than in
any English town Of equal population. In Geneva the
disease is almost equally prevalent. In Florence, pneu-
monia is said to be marked by a suifocating character,
and by a rapid progress towards the last stage. Naples,
whose climate is the theme Of so much praise by travel
ers, shows in her hospitals q mortality by consumption
equal to one in two and one-third, whereas Paris, whose
climate is 50 often pronounced villainous, the proportion
is only one in three and one-quarter. In Madeira, no
local disease is more prevalent than consumption.
THE JEws.-Our childhood is nursed with tales Of
the childhood of the Jewish nation. Peaceful pari-
archal families coalescing into q tribe, creeping with
stealthy defiance from the treacherous hospitality of
Egypt, hardened by their desert life, and moulded into
a nation Of warriors by the greatest Of ~lawgivers, shat
tering the giant Anakim by the force Of faith and law,
and giving birth to sublime prophets and 2 long line OF
kings such is the ancient story, which we know far
better than the tale of Saxon, Dane and Norman. We
follow them into their exile, their happy restoration,
the magnificent fury Of their last defiance, and then We
lose them utterly for many centuries, to find them in the
present day rising once again from misery and de6le.
