position to avoid agricultural pursuits,
and to rush into some over-crowded pro-

fashion has thrown around it a tinsel of
imaginary responsibility. Hence the far.

Unfortunate inksuation How melan

The state of tn ags is striking at the
very foundation Of our national greatness;
it is upon agriculture that we manly de-
pend for our continued prosperity, and
evil will be the day when it falls into dis
repute. What other pursuits offer SO
sure a guarantee Of an honest i%ndepen-
dence. a comfortable support for a depen-
dent family Where else can we look,
but to the production Of the soil, for the
safety Of Investment, and for ample re-
turnsl In the commercial speculations
all is doubt and uncertainty, change and
.auctuation, rise and fall. In the learned
professions scarce one in ten makes
enough to meet his incidental expenses !;
how, then, are we to account. for this IA

-
At the residence of her father, in this village on
the 4th inst, Miss MARY. daughter Of George Tay-
Tor Esq, aged II years.
Death hath no respect to persons. The old, the
young, the middle age, are alike subject to his with
ering touch. How frequently those living most
pleasantly and at ease, are suddenly called to part
with some Of their number, and often the most be-
loved and promising. This lovely young girl but a
few months ago was apparently enjoying much of
life's sweetest pleasures. Mild, amiable, and attrac-
tive in her department, she was the delight of her
many associates, and won the confidence and love of
numerous friends and relatives. But in the fresh
bloom of womahhood, in the dawn Of a life full of
bright hopes and realities of the future, she is cut
down; and the places which once knew her know her
no more forever. That once sweet home surrounded
by tho dearest ties of earth, is now made d~esolate,
in the absence of her who was the light and orna-
ment thereof. But this is the dark side Of the pic
ture and while the beloved friends are mourning her
fate, she may be realizing a new birth, a dawn of
happiness, inconceivably great, and far beyond the
conception of the human mind. God worketh wisely
ly in all his dealings, and his judgements never err.
We will believe her absent but not Lost, and though
we may never again hear her quiet footsteps, or be-
hold her adorned in all her loveliness, we will think
of her as one released from the numerous ills Of this
life, aud safely moored in the Haven of peace, where
the foul wind howeth not, and where the zephyrs of
Heaven fan her to a calm and sweet repoSe.
Then, though the wind an altered tone,
e Through the rich foliage bear;
Though every flower for her that's gone,
A gloomy tinge may wear. S
Well trace the path which she did tread,
And tend her garden bower;
But call not back the holy dead
10 this lone shore.

ARIzoNA-We have dyices from Ara
izona to the lst of April. Letters from
Tuezou, Tubac, and other points iu the
Western parts of the Territory, report q
miserable conition of things in the valley
of Santa Cruz. The Apaches continue
to sweep over the country, without molcs-
tation or hindrahce. These savages had
made recent foray upon the American
and Mexican mining settlements Fort
Buchanan, and we're on their retreat, pur-
sued by a company of dragoous from the
Fort, and seventy or eighty Pimos Indi-
ans. The troops proceeded in the style
laid down in the books, and the Apaches
escaped, favored by the beacon Of danger
furnished by the camp fires of the soldiers
The Pimos were immensely disguised with
the scientific warriors. About fifty fam
lilies were preparing to leave the Valley
for California, from fear of the Indians.
They had been harrassed by the savages,
and neglected by the governmen so long,
as to have lost the resolution, as well as
the material resources, necessary to their
own defence. The settlers want three or
four companies of volunteers for their pro-
lection. .

The Souther Flood.

Gloomy accounts still reach US from
the South of great and serious losses and
suferings from the flooded rivers. The
New Orleans Picayune of the 4th brings
late prrticulars-of matters in that region:
Last night the force under the immedi-
ate superintendent of the Mayor, con-
slstlng of twenty y-seven carts and nearly
a hundred men, continued at work until
after eleven O'Clock, when every spot where
the water had made breach was effectu-
ally closed. This morning pretty strong
force is engaged in raising the crown of
the levee in the lower part of the Third
and upper part of the Fourth Districts.
The crevasse at Point Lookout has in
creased so that the break is over half
mile in length, and the depth of water
rushing through, from ten to twelve feet.
Accounts from the Yazoo River state
that it is already nearly up to the highest
point reached during the late rise, and
that it is still slowly rising. " 7.a
In Washington County, Miss, the only
place in the bend not under water was Mr..
Edward p Johnston's home plantation
Mr.. Bullitt's place, liz Kentucky Bend,
was overfowed; all of Mr. Hampton's
places on the lake were all the same.
From various sources we learn that the
water from the Bell crevasse has complete
ly flooded all the plantations below, on
the right bank of the river, and that the
greatest suffering exists among the smaller
| planters in the viconity of Jesuit Bend
and English Turn Many, besides having
their growing crops entirely destroyed,
have lost all their cattle and provisions.
between Lockport and the Gulf. on the
Bayou Lafourche, the same state of things
exists. .'-7@i ''-s~ ~
Jesuit's Bend, formerly SO fourishing,
is now nearly destroyed. The growing
crop is totally covered with water.
We have to record the total loss of the
csops of Messrs. Lavernge, Villere, Reg
gio, Urquart Smith, Stackhouse, and
Others, sugar planters living in that part
of the parish, as also the crops of pota-
toes, onions, beans and corn of the small
