TnE DEPICTED INTEREsr.- copy
the following just rcmarks from the Wash
ington Union. This whole cry of protcc-
tion which is being raised, means nothing
less than depletion of the agricultural n-
tcrcst:
"Thc country will bear us witness that
whenever there happens to be little unu-
sual pressure upon busnoss-whcn manu-
featuring establishments nre made to feel
that all is not profit, nor even solvcncy-
VIC arc enlightened by various discussions
about the Propriety and necessity of rcmod-
Cling the revenue laws, so as to afford pro
lection to certain branches of industry
We have in the United States powerful
and paramount agricultural interest, which
isjust now considerably depressed in con-
sequence of the arrangements of business
during the past season. We do not find
the farmers demanding of Congress special
protection, aid, or bounty laws to help them
along. They are sufferers; but they co
not expect relief of the Government. How
is such relief to be afforded to one branch
of industry without charging or taxing an
other? I? 1t will not surely be contendod
that laws arc machines by which money is
made. Laws do not make money; they
simply effect distribution between capital
and labor. Now, how is it possible to SC
cure speciality to one class without tax
ing another to the extentof tho benefit con
fcrrcd."
CAR1cATURE EXTRAoRDINARY- We
have just seen broad carricature of some
of the public men cf South Carolina, ema-
mating (wo think) from the proud city of
Columbia. Under whose auspices it has
been gotten up, the public is not informed.
We at first supposed that it might have
had its origin in certain political differences
now somewhat conspicuous in the State,
but upon second thought we cannot retain
that opinion. Surely no man aspiring to
political position amongst US, would coun-
tenance trick borrowed from the cxpcri-
cncc Of vulgar New York 1t is the first
time, probably, that such all Instrumental
ity has been employed in South Carolina
politics, and VIC trust it will be the last

BEAUTY OF GLAss.-Whcn he sung the
praise of glass, the father of Russian pee
try, Lcomonosy, chose noble and inspir-
ing theme; for, rightly considered, glass
is far moro precious than gold. Its services
to the physical sciences are incstimablc,
since without it we could have neither the
telescope, nor the microscopes; and what
marvcls reveal need not be said. Gold is
of earth, earthly-Mammon born, and,
seemingly, like Mammon, cursed The fa-
tai lust of gold arms nation against nation,
and whcts the murdercr's steel Glass, on
the contrary-bright symbol of stainless
purity and light and lustrous radiance
acts only benefccntly. Glass remedies in
firmitics of vision, and prolongs to the aged
the blessing of distinct cyc-sight Glass
gives us the mirror, the mirror and the Ions
produce the camera, and it is to the camera
that we are indebted for photography, and
its magical operations. All honor, then,
to glass Glass enables us to rear the
plants of the tropics beneath our English
sky-to shed warm mimic sunshine over
our chilly walls-to suspend from our cell
ings showers of iridcscent crystals that more
than realize the fablcd splondor of Alad-
din's palace. All honor be to glass. Glass
enables us to produce interminable vistas
and pcrspectives in different directions, un-
til the eye is so delightfully."- bcwildercd as

MAN AND WoMAN.-Man is the crea-
turc of interest and ambition His nature
leads him forth into the struggle and bus
tie of the world. Love is but the embcl
lishment Of his early life, or song piped
in the intervals of his acts But woman's
whole life is history of the Affections
The heart is her world il is there her am
bition strives for empire; it is there her
avaricc seeks for hidden treasures. She
sends forth her sympathies on adventure (;
she embarks her whole soul in the traffic
of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case
is hopcless-for it is bankruptcy of the
heart. --bving
To THOSE scenes of domestic neacc, which
pure religion created and adorned, the
thoughts ofthe youngest member OF the fam
lily will cling in after years they will become
a kind of hallowed ground in his mem
ory; they will exert restraining and
sanctifying power; and thus may we oxncct
