The REJECTION OF THE DALLas-CLARENDoN
TRfATY.-The chief reason assigned by Lord
Palmerston through bis London organ, for reject
ing the Senate amendments to the Dallas and
Clarendon treaty, s the recent decision of the Su.
preme Court of the United States in the Dred
Scott case, whereby, the article sets forth ne-
Groes who were free while America was under
British Dominion, are now decided not to be citi
zens of the Republic This is new point in our
relations with England Negroes who were British
subjscts prior to the Declaration of Independence
are now oisfranchsed and declared not to be enti.
tied to the privileges Of American citizens. OF
course restoration of these people to their anti
revolutionary rights is to be sn ISSUE
Another reason is given, however, for the re.
lection CT the treaty 10 its amended form-to wit
That the United States Senate had refused to be q
party to the stipalations of a certain treaty be
tween Great Britain and Honduras whereby /.
was expressly declared that slavery should never
exist in the Bay islands This the British pre-
mier denounces as an artiice Of the Senate to
promote the extension of slavery In these Islands
and he intiGIates that the British government will
not permit a solemn engagement into which it had
entered with Ho aduras to be ignored at the dicts
ton of the Senate. The reasons for rejecting the
treaty were published only two days before Lord
Clarendon informed Mr. Dallas of the decision oi
her Maiasty's government adverse to the treaty as
amended by the United States.

A ROMANTIC REGToN.-CuriOus Trees
The editor Of the Abingdon Virginian re-
Gently spent few days in the White Noun
tains and other peaks in that range, and sin
all the region round about" In giving his
experience he says:
The White Top is the highest peak in the
whole Appalachian range, and from its sum
nit the most extensive and magnificent view
is obtained II has ever been our fOrtuhe to
witness. The trees upon its summit are
just beginning to bud, and the whole face OF
the mountains is carpeted with wild flow
ers, rich in fragrance aud gorgeous in coIors.
While we were upon the summit, looking
out Westward with glass at Abingdon and
the farms many miles beyond, a cloud came
rolling up TO the mountain, which soon swept
across the top, careering like snowstorm,
the wind whisIling mournfuly and winter
like through the naked limbs and the vapor
hiding our company from each other. From
the southeastern slope portion of North Car
olina, Tennessee and Virginia all fell within
the scope Of natural vision, and from the
northwestern slope the bold outline OF old
Kentucky marked the horizon.
The most remarkable thing we saw upon
White Top was its crowds of trees called
Lashorn. These trees are of all heights, from
mere shrubs up TO 80 feet, and the tops are
almost invariably fiat, so much so, and the
branches so closely interviewer, that persons
can stand or walk upon them. Our compa-
ny, cOnsis ing of nine persons, had the curl
ositv to ascend to the top of one of these
trees, where we all sat down together on the
level platform of foliage, some 20 feet in di-
ameter, and two or three of the company ac-
tuallv laid down and rolled across the top
The trees is n species of the fir, and is, we
believe, peculiar to the peak. The timber
near the summit is small and gnarled, but II:
the base the trees are giants. We saw and
measured one while oak 1871 feet in circum-
iercnca, nth 40 feet trunk without limb.
The streams in the neighborhood all
abound with trout, (the best table fish in the
Southwest and their capture, though labo-
rious, is full of sport.

MANNERS AND MoRALs.-Good manners
and good morals are founded on the same
eternal principles Of right, and are only dilfe-
rent expressions OF the same great TRUTHS
Both grow out of the necessities of our
existence and relations. We have individual
rights based on the fact of our individual
being; and we have social duties resulting
from our connection, in the bunds OF society,
with other individuals who have similar
rights. Morals and manners alike, while
they Justify us in asserting and maintaining
our own rights, require us scrupglously to
respect, in word aud act, the rights of others.
II Is true that the former, in the common
comprehension of the term, is satisfied with
simple justice in all our relations, while tue
latter often requires something more than
the slrleiest conscientiousness can demand
IA yielding OF more than halt the road-
mn exercise OF the sentiment OF benevolencp,
MS wei as OF equity; but the highest morality
really makes the same requistion, for il
includes poI'teness, and recognizes deeds of
Kindness rs duty.

a Great Blessing 10 the Afflicted
Dr. M'Lane the inventor Of the celebrated Liver Pills
prepared by Fleming Bros, Pittsburgh Pa used these
PMS for several years in his practice before he could
be induced to offer them to the public in such manner
as to make them known throughout the country. This
learned physician felt the same repugnance that all
high-mnded men OF science feel in entering the lists
against those INSCRIPTIONS empires who obt'ude teir
useless nosrums upon the public, and rely upon sys
TEN of putting to sustain them. Convinced, however,
of the real value of the Liver Pills. and influenced by
the plain dictates Of duty the Doctor finally authorized
Fleming Bros of Pittsburgh, Pa, who are now the sole
propretors to manufacture and place them before the
public. This great medicine has not disappointed the
lamentations Of his friends, the medical faculty, at
whose Instance he induced to place them before
the public in their present popular form From every
quarter do we hear the most gratifying accounts OF
their wonderful efects-the East and the West, the
North and the South, alike laden with "tidings q

have completely conquered that great sconrge Of
