SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK OS."-This
phrase originated with DR.. Chalmers, and is
thus illustrated by Henry Rogers
.'You rem ember the coachman who said to
the gentlem an on the box. DO you see that
off leader there, sirF'
Yes: what of him.
He always SHES when lie comes to that
ere gate. | must give him something else
to think on No sooner said than up went
the whirling thong, and came down full of its
sting on the skittish leaders launches He
had something else to think or, 20 time for
pauie, or affected panic, and few past the
gate like lightning. If we can but give
youth, in time, something else to think on ,
We may keep oat of their minds, by pre- oc-
cupation, more evil than we can ever directly
expel One of the essential properties of
matter may be said to be also one of the es-
sential properties of mind impenetrability
1t is impossible that two thoughts can CO.
exist III the same mind at the same time, as
that two PARTICLES of matter can occupy the
same space"

 An Irish attendant upon Grant-to whom he had submitted his money for examination-if it were good for whiskey bills-having gone off on Sunday excursion, was pursued by Constable Cheney, and overhauled in Smoke hollow, and found to have in his possession the identical jack knife and thirty odd dollars, which he was keeping for the old gen. tlemans benefit and general whiskey bills Justice Hickox thinking Judge Waldo who arrived yestcr day night wish to see 50 faithful an oversee. of drunken mems pockets gave him free ticket for board at the county house, and the probabilities arc that he will soon be assisting to pay off the State debt-Well lodged and provided for.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.
Tho InisiIigeneer, under tho head of The
Evil and its Remedy introduces some very
complimentary notices of the speech OF the
Hon. John Bell, Of Tennessee, on the ntteen
million loan bill.
The Union, in publishing a note from a
gentleman in New York, which says "the sum-
mer and fall importations are coming in vigor-
ously, and have no doubt of their reaching
full three-fourths in amount of what they
were in the corresponding msnths from June
to December, 1851" remarks:
We have no doubt of IT, Every thing prom
ises rapid and healthy resumption Of trade
throug bout the entire country and with foreign
States. What wonder is it, under the circum-
stances, that our cautious and well nfOrmed cor
respondent should hazard the prediction that
our imports from June to December will reach
three fourths the amount OF the corresponding
period of 1857, We are confident they will run
even higher than three fourth~-that they will
even exceed the importations of 1857. The coun-
try is abundantly well of, and Is utterly bare of
goods. The amount of money on hand Is expen-
sively large. Importers and traders are in good
credit; the growing crops all round promise to
be abundant the great South is une mia rrassed
the West is old in lis youth, wise in its expe-
uence, sa9aclouS IN its enter prise, and cautious
in its energy. We have had plav-day, and the
industrial energies OF tie nation. like giant
lreshed from sleep, are now about TO be exercise
with renewed vigor in every department of busi-
nesS.n
The Union further notices that the MteIi.
gsncer has been at some pains to cOlate and
republish the speeches of Mr.. Crittenden at
the various points of his journey home. Where
upon it shows that all Mr.. Crittenden's profess
sions of being tired of party are only rehash
of the programme of promises he set forth at
tie commencement of Gen. Taylor's admins
tratiOn, and which he betrayed as soon as the
Wings got into power. Says the Union
His repentance, [of former party zeaI,l we
fear, is but a repetition of the old story of the
wolf who pretended that he had got tired of eat
Ing mutton and intended for the future to restrict
himself closely TO vegetable diet.n
