The Moral Effect of Italian Moderation.

We COPY the following rom the London
correspondence Of the N,tio tai lnislligeMcer.
1t vividly d, picts whal Italy is gaining oJ as
suming u moderate lui firm attitude. Would
such be the sympathy of the world in her be.
half, if she riotel III the ultra and tunultuous
orgies of fanaticism and Red Republicanisul,
through which Mazzini would lead her?
We rejoice in the reassuring attitude of
Italy. IT presents to us an unexpected and q
touching spectacle. Italy was reused from
sleep IS it were by the war CRY of Piedmont.
Young men every where left the college, aud
bar, the desk, the shop, and the field, to swell
the ranks of heroes, nor were the middle-aged
nor even old men unsmitten by the general
enthusiasm. And what is the attitude of Italy
at this period of angered and anguisbed feel
ing? Does she show herself 10 be that +" land
Of assasSins" which the Imperalists at Vienna
and the Priests at Rome and every where else
would have us believe her to be? Most as.
surcdly not. Her attitude and her entire
hearing and carriage are grand, and truly
disniGed and noble. Deserted by her friends,
she takes refuge in herself. Calmly collecting
her remaining forces, She awaits the DEGREES
of Europe on her fate. We hear of no aaz
zinian conspiracies, Of neither tunult, robbery,
nor riot. Could Italy do more? The moral
effect of this moderation will not be lost. The
independence of Italy has become question
of prime European Importance, and can never
again sink into even a secondary place. The
spirit of the Italian people has been stirred,
and they have learned in this brief campaign
what may be done by united, well organized,
and resolute effort"

ARRIEAL or THE AFRICA.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The steamship Africa
arrived of. Sandy Hook, at noon, today. Her
mails will leave for the South. on the evening
train. TIE commercial intelligence by this
arrival is anticipated.
GENERAL NEws.-The Africa brings intel
Hpence from Liverpool to the 10th of August.
1t was rumored in Paris that Marshals
Canrohert and Neil had fought duel, and
that the latter was killed.
The loss by the late fire in Liverpool in
cotton and grain, was thirty thousand pounds,
stel lling which was mostly covered by insa-
rance. The builders strike in London con-
tinucd.
Napoleon had ordered two steamers to AL

recently pardoned by the Enperor's general
amnesty.
The projected Notifications at Antwerp
we're exciting some uneasinass in Paris.
The municipality of Parma had issued a
proclamation, expressing the unanimous de-
sire for Parini as Dictator. The population
eyinced great enthusiasm. The Government
had purchased four thousand rifles, and lnvl-
ted into its service the disbanded corps OF II
femen Ct the Alps.
1t was reported from Vienna that the EN-
peror of Austria was becoming impatient at
the delay in restoring the grand Dukes; also,
that the Austrian corp: darmee was to be

A most singular accident and delivcrance
occurred at the residence ofMr. JAS. G. Kirby,
near Buzzard Roust, on the 18th ultimo. A
valuable boy was sent down in his well to re-
move sand that washed to the bottom, and
after sending up one buckeE.full he saw signs
of the curbing giving way mt the bottom, and
urged haste. The bucket was again lowered
rapidly, but had scarcely got within reach #
the boy, when it was arrested hard and fast by
a superincumbent mass Of thirty t'et of rock,
and the boy below the whole. Concluding
that the boy WAS dead, and the requisite as
sistance not being at hand, q delay of about
two hours ensued before an effort was made
for his release. Some three hours work
brought the boys head in view, though, having
exhausted the oxygen, he experienced suto.
cation, and would have died in a short time,
from description of his sensations after re-
lease. 1t is singular that a man could be thus
.wedged in, from head to heel, by o compact
mass Of rock, and yet survive at the end Of
FIVE hours. 1t appears that on incompetent
well-dgger did the walling, and in a slovenly
and insecure manner; and persons having
work done by him should be careful how they
send their negros hto his ,sells.-Spartan.

BEES TAKING TO CorroN WAREHOUSE
Under the head Of "natursl curiosity" the
Mobile Advertiser tells the following:
Some time last fall, swarm of bees
swarmed" in an open place under the roof
of Marston's cotton warehouse, and there
commenced the work Of forming comb.
They have kept busily at work ever since.
and. no one interfering with their labors,
have at last formed huge honey comb pro-
jecting down nearly foot below the caves Of
the building. The busy little bees now com.
pletely cover their comb, and being protected
from interruption by the proprietor, continue
to work on regardless Of the din and confu-
sion around them.- What of that some may
say, but we reply-who ever before saw bees
at work upon well filled comb in the open
air3

'Tis now two months or more,
A couch came laundering down tho street

And how long she is to lingcr;--

senatorDouglas on Popular Sovereignty.

Whatever may havo boon tho uncertainty here
tofore as to the precise extent Of Senator DoUo-
LASS views Of popular sovereignty, the matter ia
now sct Mt rest by the publication of nm elaborate
paper from the pom and under the name of that
gentleman His position is distinctly stated to be-
that tho people Of the Territories under aTerrito-
rial government havo the inalienable right to
control their internal poliy, slavery included, as
in their Judgment they shnl deem expedient.
Tho position is one to which the South will not
accedc Neither is it to be expected that sho will
now ignore il in tho coming Presidential canvass
The grounds set forth by Mr.. DOUGLAS arc te5
sweeping in their extent and too conspicuous III
their PRONUNCIATION, to allow the politicians Of our
section to dodge them. Wo tsko it for granted
therefore, that they..wll mako common fight in tho
matter, and that Mr.. DOUGLAS will stand but little
chance for nomination at Charleston with their
approval At least, such seems to bo the present
tone of the public mind at tho South 80 fur as
heard from although it is also true that tho pub
lie mind has not been very fully outspoken on the
subject.
In regard to the essay in HARPER, we are free
to soy that it docs honor both to the Lad and the
heart of its distinguished thor. 1t is calm
and dispas.ionate argument based on rational
premises, and carried to its height with conSum-
mate ability. It panders as little to "phronziod
fanatic;sm" as it does to "sectional sggrandise'
mcnt," and goes strait forward to its points with
tho steadincss of an honest conviction. We oil oil
course dissent from the conclusions thus arrived
at by this statesman Of the North West; yet none
will deny to his argument tho merit Of ability
None will deny that be makes out most plausible
defense of the Constitutionality Of his doctrine
None, surely, will now 90 reeklessly hurl at his
head the epthets of treason and selfish ambition,
seeing. that he has announced the grounds Of his
belief like freeman and patriot, and has thus
risked an opposition that will in nll probability
defeat his aspirations towards he Presidency. Fo,
one, we adopt higher estimate of the fairness
and Independence of Senator DOUGLAS than we
hava ever before entertained. AS he has set him.
SELF aside in ehe canvass by his own act, it be-
come, the Democracy to deliberate calmly before
concentrating on their sandard-besrer. Wo trust
at least that there will be no moro wranglins
about tho matter, especially at tho South. To
this end, let us advise with one another cautiously
and, If possible, present undivided front in the
| Convention.

Ten years ago the same land changed hands

prosperity which peryades all departments Of

Democrat we took some pains to ascertain
the prospect Of the hog and corn crops. Few
CT hogs will be driven from those counties, it is
thought by tic best informed, than fo- several
years past--as the hogs arc not in the country.
However, such as are driven will probably be
of supeiur quality in point Of size and fatness,
as the crop is very abundant In fact, some
fields of corn in Lee are superior to anything
we ever saw before and so large will be the
yield, that there are not enough hogs to near
consume the surplus. We heard Of growers
who offered to make engagements at twenty
five cents per bushel.
