Interesting Information relative tt
 Bounty Land Warrants.

The following is a copy of an impor tant decision just eminated from the Gen eral Land Office:
 Sir: In reply to the questions propUun ded in your letter of the 23d inst, l hay, to state:
 l. That the bounty land warrants issue, by the United States are declared by tn, act of Congress approved June 6, 1858, L be persona property.
 ?. That such warrants cannot be solt by an administrator of the estate of the deceased warrantee for the payment 0 debts contracted by such warraniee.
 3. That such warrants when issued du' ring the lifetime of the warrantee, and mol disposed of by him, become, fl he die ln- testate, the property of his heir al law IT accordance with the law domicll, and can. not be attached and sold for the payment of debts. If he die intestate, see 5tl paragraph following.
 4. Warrants issued after the death o the warrantee, but upon proof filed during bis lifetime, become the property of his Wlu0W, II tHetG bS Oue, ulid II uu WioOWf the property of his heirs at law, without regard to their age.
 5. The proceeds of sale of warrant made by an administ trator, is the absolute property of the widow herself, or legatees, without regard to any debt contracted by the warrantee; but the practice of this office has been to recognize assignments properly made by an administrator for dis tribution of the proceeds among the heirs at law, after paying of the funeral and proper Court expenses. (Attorney's and administrator fees, not taxed by the Court, are not regarded as proper Court expenses.
 6. The rules of this office require, in all cases, when warrant has been sold by an executor, that duly certified copy of the will with letters testamentary shall be attached to the warrant; and, In cases where sale is made by an administrator or guardian, that certified copies of the administration or guardianship shall be attached and that the sale has been made for the use of the heirs only must be shown either in tue assignment or in papers sub- mitted with each case.

 op Clark of Rhode Island, at the close of his excellent lecture on 1" Public Opin-

The forces of evil may seem to be as strong as ever but the forces of good are stronger than ever and the scale is gradually turning in fa- vor of truth and right. The labor of the past has not been lost the labor of to- day is not in vain. No holy work, no righteous work can ever die.

OB TU AR N.

It is sol mn to witness the death of the weary pilgrim of life, with the snows of ac- cumulated years upon his head It is solemn and impressive to see vigorous manhood sink into dreamless sleep, and cease from it's labors It is solemn when prattling infancy, nesting closely to the mothers breast, signs out its innocent life, and angels gather it home to Heaven.
 But how peculiarly solemn it is when youth, just emerging from boyhood's estate, and on the eve of bursting maturity, is called to die, with all it's bright hopes and fond anticipa- tions for future comfort, usefulness, and may hap for honor. When the cords of affection are knit so closely around the hearts of parents and friends; when, on the one hand, the fond parents look with confidence upon him, as the firstbo staff upon which they may lean in ripe old age; and when, on the other hand is felt the dependence of those he holds most dear, added to the fond dreams of manhood and its ambitions,-how terrible the stroke of Deaths relentless scythe, which sunders the golden cord.
 | Such thoughts were suggested at the death bed of WILLIAM ARTHUR, son of Dr. C. W. and Mrs. E. 4. GLENN, who died in Des Arc, on the morning of the 28th of April last, in the twelfth year of his age.
 Bright and gifted far beyond his years, with mind richly promising of future usefulness and distinction, perception clear and a judg- ment unclonded, for one so young, what may we not have hoped for in maturer years | With purity of virtues, and impulses always noble and generous, and disposition earnestly afectionate, bright, and sociable, what may we not have realized in his CULTIVATED so- ciety? It is said, < Death loves shining mark;" and truly has he plotted out thai bright particular star" from our domestic Armament, and set to burn, oh how brightly | in the Armament of Heaven.
 But when such as thou vanish from the world, who shall repine?
 '1 know thou hast gone to the place of thy | rest:
 | Then why should our souls be so sad
 know thou hast gone where the weary are bess'd,
 And the mourner looks up, and is glad | Where LOVE hath left off, in the land of its birth,
 | All the stains it had gather'd in this; | And HoPE, the sweet singer, that gladdens the earth,
 Lies asleep on the bosom of Bliss" e1T,,

NORTHERN TRADE.-We are glad to know that conviction has pretty general by taken hold of the southern mind, that northern aboltionism can be most suc- cessfully met and contradicted through the pockets of those whose garments are soil ed by it-wheher It be the original wear CTS, or those who come in contact with them. We are glad to know, too, that this conviction is leading to action. There are men among us now who wiH purchase nothing that comes from Massachusetts. | The South is withdrawing its business l from Boston, and if we may judge from | the lamentations of the papers from the American Athens, it is seriously affecting its prosperity and driving manufacturers etc., from 1t to other States. This is right, and we would carry 1t even further. Our merchants should take note of those who subscribe for and advertise in such sheets as The Tribune and Evening Post, of New York Men are judged of, every where. by the company they keep. Ii our p:ofessed friends in the North consort with. patronize and support with the ''sln- ews of war;" our open and most bitter enemies, southern men owe It to them | selves and their dearest interest to with draw their business from such s friends. Not only so, but we would deal with no men who worship at the altars of such ministers of evil as Inhdel Parker, Rifle Beecher, Parson Cheever, et id ona'1e ge- nus.
 The New England States are almost exclusively manufacturing and conner cial Their agricultural interest is al- most nothing. It hardly sufhces to feed the people Cut off the southern market for their manufactures, and the great source of their prosperity would be dried up. By our liberal dealings with them heretofore, we have strengthened them to make war upon us. But we have be- gun to withdraw from. Let us keep 1t up encourage competition with them es- pecialiy at home, and next among other States less tainted with the poison which threatens such disastrous results to our fair fabric of government. By so doing we shall cause them to feel our value in the Union. When rampant fanaticism and lean pockets are found to be insep- erabe companions, we may confidently expect a reaction, and may entertain some hope of return to the old-tme feelings of fraternal kindness and sympathy, which so many among us believe 10 have de- parted forever. = Mobile Register.

The Crisis.-What shall we do?

The Yasoo (Mississippi) Denaocrat, has long and able article devoted to the political condition and aspects of the coun- try, which concludes thus:
 So surely as the sun shines the crisis is now approaching. In truth is the wolf now ready to spring upon the fold There can be no danger of false prophets now ;; the fear is that cowardly politicians or near-sighted speakers may loose all view of their country's danger or sacrifice every thing upon the altar of self-interest and persuade the people into false security. Let the people beware of such timid or traitorous advice let them listen to politi- cians, but do their own thinking and from political facts let them draw the proper inference in respect of their own situa- tion.
 We have no need of the prediction of office seekers. Political prophecies are nearly always formed on the anticipation of increased popularity. Letus shun them as we would the very evils they foretell with such show of pathetic rhetoric. Let us do our own thinking, with no other foundation than the facts as the records show them to exist. The man of ordinary reasoning faculties who does thls must see that the South is overwhelmed by numeri- cal majority that that numerical matjoriy will sooner or later effect the political ruin of our section unless checked by her own strong hand and her insulted courage Such man will see that 1t Is dishonor tc remain stationary; that yielding is ruin and that there can be no stand - Re- pei or submit take your choice of watch words. SubmisSion aciN ental upon us further encroachment and dishonor Re. sistance, immediate and decided, may SdUt the Union, and also our liberties. 1'akt your choice.
 But suppose we jog along until Black Republican is in the White House, and until this is accomplished, of course it is we'll enough, on the slavery question, tC make no show of resistance what then Then the crisis will be upon us.-Whai shall we do2 Or rather if the electoral college for 1860 see that Black Republi- can President will inevitably be chosen, phat then? Let statesmen of courage and information furnish reply, we should say let our electors refuse 10 uote and lei tht govsrnment go by tle board. Anarchy is worse than the worst and most despo,iC government, but no government at all is better, infinitely better, than national dis grace, Let our Congressman remain al home let Southern Convention assem- ble; and if the North still refuses to sub init to the Constitution, then let us have a Southern Republic, where rights. privi. leges and freedom may be secure from en- croachmen;, contempt and overthrow.
